General & Others How did Shanks>Mihawk become so popular?

you are capable of thinking for 5 min? base on this post I HIGHLY doubt that if you ever did such thing in your entire life

why vast majority of one piece fandom don't agree with a dream like Mihawk > Shanks?
I don't know ... maybe cause Oda hyped Shanks in most epic way any manga ever hyped any character





better hype
better feats
higher importance
creating most epic moments

if there be a real poll with all the one piece fans about Shanks Vs Mihawk ... Shanks would DESTROY him ...
cause people have eyes and they are capable of seeing who is getting more hyped

Mihawk > Shanks is result of overreading in to a title and over expectations

but
Mihawk > Shanks is still a ATCAUL CLAIM ... I give them that


Great speech next time have a pic of shanks without a sword in his hand to make it semi-believable
 
His spear is one of the Supreme BLADES.
No, the title doesnt fall apart is stronger than ever. Good luck winning with other things against swords.
I dont know about your theory but my theory is that Shanks has nothing to do with Luffy combat wise.
Shanks is below Mihawk in every way, no matter what he uses, he cannot beat Mihawk.
WB spear is a meito, meito official name is famous sword.
My theory is Oda is going to advance all three Luffy hakis, no one else is story has two advanced hakis. He advanced CoO & CoA, last is CoC.
Shanks will have Adv CoC (don't know what it will look like yet) and that's how Luffy will advance his. We don't know everything there is to CoC haki or haki in general, no one can flat out claim CoC won't have an advanced level.
That's my reason why Shanks without his sword > Mihawk.
 
The absolute truth is that there's no definite answer, WSS title isn't as absolute as it seems since we have no idea what it's based on, WB wasn't considered the best at arm wrestling for instance and given how Mihawk is always looking for a rival or challenge it could've been obtained from a former holder.

Famous blade, not sword. Unless you disagree with Oda?
Zoro already has 2 advanced hakis and since he is stronger than Luffy, his CoC will be stronger too.
I will believe into advanced CoC when Oda steps on what he said previously - that CoC cannot be trained.
Shanks without his sword becomes low diff fight for Mihawk. Sword is the only thing that allows him to push Mihawk to extreme.
You realize Kaido is a man right? and falls under the category of Whitebeard title? Im suprise you think this despite being a mihawk titles should mean everything right? :whitepress:
Not a man last time I checked. Not falling under the category of WB's title. All 3 titles are absolute. WSC>WSM>WSS
 
"Shanks can beat anyone without a sword" So that's why my man was nerfing himself against Akainu, against WB, hell even his greatest non duels was him nerfing himself.

Shanks must be so special, that picking up a weapon he has been training to use since he was a teenager, nerfs him.
How low have we fallen lmao?
Bruh, Shanks is a hakiman. That's more than swordsmanship.

WB weapon is not a spear.

The official translation still spells Zoro's name "l" instead of a "r" just because that's how they originally spelled it and I don't want to change it.

Shanks is a swordsman. He is stronger with a sword. Mihawk is waiting for a stronger swordsman then Shanks.

Why mihawk not WSM than? WHy Kaido not WSM than? no-one can fill in the power between whitebeard and themselves
The databook states Mihawk traveled the world and challenge strong swordsman until there was none left to challenge. That tells us he wanted to be the WSS and he fought to achieve it. He just wasn't giving it because he was a strong swordsman.

There's still a lot of strong people in one piece. I believe the reason why no one has received the WSM title is because they have to prove they're the strongest. At this point in time nobody has went out to prove it
 
To play devils advocate

> We don't know who was superior between Shanks and Mihawk with their rivalry
> We don't know how Mihawk obtained his title
> We know that Shanks hasn't fought Mihawk since he lost his arm and thus hasn't challenged Mihawk for his title

So until more information is given between the Mihawk and Shanks rivalry and how Mihawk got his title, you can argue for Shanks > Mihawk

as long as they had rivalry, they were on par, or else they would stop when one won and people would mention the winner, not their duels.


we know he obtained it early on and he had it easy obtaining it
