General & Others Why does Oda give Mihawk such little hype?

[Jo_Ndule]

Because Luffy's underling Zoro will surpass this guy.

Luffy > Zoro/Sanji (underlings) > mihawk, how important this guy could be?

Oda closed the door for the last time in marineford battle (Chapter Name: 0561 - Luffy vs. Mihawk), he tried to hype mihawk by matching Luffy's Pre-TS version, because Luffy vs. mihawk will never happen again, Luffy's underlings will deal with him, just like WB's underlings Jozu and Vista dealt with him.

When Luffy fights the bosses like Shanks, Kaido or BB, Zoro or Sanji will beat mihawk, so mihawk can't be that important.

The funny thing is that Mihawk couldn't beat Pre ts luffy

the only warlord and so called top tier to not beat Luffy pre ts
Excluding Hancock who fangirled Luffy

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Because Oda didn’t give

Meh. Oda hasn’t given Mihawk the best on-panel feats, I won’t deny that.

You still underestimate him though. That casual iceberg feat was proof that he’s one of the strongest characters in the series.

no ones denying he’s not top ten, but admirals trounce that feat.

What casual attack from an Admiral trounced that iceberg feat?

 

[Sir Yasheen]

What casual attack from an Admiral trounced that iceberg feat?

Aokiji and Akainu passively changing an islands entire climate.

Fujitora lifting an island of rubble and dropping meteors

You realize that iceberg feat is less than Post TS law casually bisecting a mountain range

 

[The Buddha]

Being one of the strongest in the series is quite a wide range, for example:

Jozu without diamond ability ripped and lifted a colossal iceberg bigger than several giants and normally an average size iceberg weighs millions of tons and I don't see anyone saying that Jozu is above admirals and Lolkos or of the same level

Why are you comparing feats that took 10 to a casual attack? Punk Hazard wouldn’t exist if Mihawk had 10 days to destroy it.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Why are you comparing feats that took 10 to a casual attack? Punk Hazard wouldn’t exist if Mihawk had 10 days to destroy it.

Mihawks iceberg feat isn’t even impressive compared to law casually separating punk hazard.

 

[Shelby]

Mihawks iceberg feat isn’t even impressive compared to law casually separating punk hazard.

Mihawk’s feat is a million times more impressive than Law’s.

Law used a devil fruit ability. Mihawk used his physical strength.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Mihawk only has physical strength.

So you’re discounting law because he used a devil fruit; that’s hardcore cope.

 

[Shelby]

I’m not discounting, I’m comparing. Mihawk has shown better physical strength than Law and the Admirals. There’s nothing to cope, it’s a fact.

 

[ShinichiMugi]

Mihawk will do great when it will arrive his moment. But Oda is slow and prefers to lose time with the filler Yonko Kaido and Linlin.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

I’m not discounting, I’m comparing. Mihawk has shown better physical strength than Law and the Admirals. There’s nothing to cope, it’s a fact.

Yes but that’s all Mihawk has is physical strength and a sword. Admirals have physical strength and their broken devil fruit powers.

It doesn’t matter if Mihawk has more strength none of them would fight without their devil fruit

 

[Shelby]

Yes but that’s all Mihawk has is physical strength and a sword. Admirals have physical strength and their broken devil fruit powers.

Why would their devil fruits help them?

 

[Jo_Ndule]

when buggy could beat Luffy
But Mihawk with many tries couldn't

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Why would their devil fruits help them?

Why would Fujitoras devil fruit help? Idk debilitating an enemy with heavy gravity or empowering your own sword swings by increasing the weight

 

[Shelby]

Didn’t seem to help him much against the Revo commanders.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Didn’t seem to help him much against the Revo commanders.

And Mihawks physical strength didn’t seem to help him against vista.

 

[Shelby]

And Mihawks physical strength didn’t seem to help him against vista.

Was Mihawk covered in bandages though?

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Was Mihawk covered in bandages though?

He might’ve been if the fight continued, we don’t know.

There’s not a single good showing of Mihawk that puts him above admirals. I’m not saying he might be, he very well could, but we haven’t seen that in canon yet

 

[LolonoisZolo]

Was Mihawk covered in bandages though?

Mihawk never got a single scratch or a closecall on panel.
He also is the one character (with BM) with 0 visible scar and the guy is torso naked half the time...
