Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1022 Spoilers Discussion

Gotta wonder, do Zoro fans like Mihawk because he's Zoro's future and most important opponent, or they just like the man himself?

I myself love Mihawk, the man himself.

First off his character design is still one of my favorites.

And the second thing is Oda set him up perfectlly for me, because i love when anime / manga shows us a really powerful character, someone on top of the world, early on, but most of them show us this character going against someone really strong too right?

Think about All Might vs Nomu or 3rd Hokage vs Orochimaru.

OR they show us this character going against someone weaker, but they make the weaker character show some skill to somewhat take on the top tier, showing us promise for that character, think about Naruto and Sasuke vs Zabuza, Naruto and Sasuke vs Orochimaru.

Very few shows give us a top tier trashing a weaker character early on, showing us the height of the world very fast, and at the same time showing us the gap between them.

Mihawk vs Zoro is one of those examples, another one that comes to mind is Ichigo vs Byakuya (that "you're too slow to fall" scene is pretty great).

Instead of showing us that Zoro has potential in fighting skill, Oda only shows us the potential of Zoro's determination / will, while Mihawk absolutely trashes him in the East Blue, and what do we get? we get Mihawk respecting the potential of Zoro's determination / will, instead of his skill.

From that moment on i enjoyed Mihawk.

The man rides the ocean in a floating coffin alone, with no crew, come on!

like big mom couldn't flick her wrist to deal with jinbe?

Wasn't big mom dealing with hunger pangs and half out of her mind?

 

[Tyki_Mikk]

Still curios to see what is Oda planning with him.
I still expect a clash with Weevil vs Luffy. I assume both standing as low top-mid top tiers when they clash each other.
Weevil and Mihawk where the powerhouse of the WG.

I think Weevil join after Wano the scene. His power is really dangerous while Kizaru even hype him.

Shichibukai had two top tiers on their side with Mihawk and Weevil.

like mihawk wasn't even looking at vista? And she didn't have any hunger pangs when jinbe humiliated her in onigashima or when she was losing to marco

 

[Indigo]

Wasn't Mihawk not using haki or any named attacks at all?

 

[Ask D question]

So Marco goes in and out of chapters doesn't mean he's just standing there.

Please don't compare Marco to perospero, that's insulting

I view Weevil as Whitebeard without the Gura and Advanced CoC

 

[Queek Hea D Taker]

Mihawk was fighting Vista without looking at him.

 

[BillSlipton]

Lmao wasn't Vista doing that shit casually too? Man's was vibing and they clashed for a while. Why would someone who could casually flick you away ask for a truce? Unless mihawk couldn't beat him easily and knew it'd take time.

yet vista was fully focused while mihawk was only thinking about luffy and how many times do i need to say this he ask for postponement because akainu was about to melt the ice

 

[Tejas]

You rely on childishly fixing users' delusional posts man.

Fixed

Then what happens when Zoro still says he needs to get A LOT stronger before he becomes wssM

Then we know that King was nerfed by fighting Marco before losing to Zoro.

Vista was not even thinking about the fight. He was more concerned about rescuing Ace.

show me a panel of vista thinking about ace during that fight

 

[Puki]

Yes, you lot rely on wishful thinking and Photoshop instead.

Whats wrong with photoshop skills? Dont get mad just cause someone has a skill you don't. If you have skills use it. Sanji to Usopp "I just did what you can't. Now you do what I cant". Assuming you don't has photoshop skills. Different talents and skills is what separates us as individuals.

Lmao no. Vista was casual when he pulled up and the next chapter when it shows them again they're both fully focused.

Gotta wonder, do Zoro fans like Mihawk because he's Zoro's future and most important opponent, or they just like the man himself?

Speaking as a massive fan of both, I really love Godhawks character and design alone. There's so much that I find fascinating and awe-inspiring about him, so many mysteries, so many questions. His style his immensely cool, badass and awesomely Gothic and he has incredible skill, strength, speed and discipline.

He's really charismatic and has shown some wonderful nuanced layers to his character that I was really hoping for. The whole relationship to Zoro thing from the beginning is pretty much the delicious icing on an already amazing cake and just serves to make the whole thing so much more hype, fun, epic etc for me.

I really love that he planted a cocoa tree for Perona (if I'm remembering right) from her novel and how he showed respect and undesrstanding to Zoro, his interactions with Zoro both at Baratie and at his own island too ofc. There's so much I want to see and know about his character and he's exactly my kind of character. He kinda reminds me of Coyote Starrk my favourite character from Bleach, (although I knew Mihawk first ofc) so that is a complete win for me too naturally.

His interactions with the humandrills and his shared bonding and habitation with them and how they literally try to ape him, to mimic him and such just makes him so much more endearing to me too. I'm so curious to know what his relation is to that island he's on and what he actually does know about the war that ravaged it, the kingdoms and people involved and if he was involved directly somehow or feels pain/tragedy/sympathy or whatever for them, maybe losing someone or even people he knew due to it?

There are theories he lost his crew in the past too, hence why he's such a loner and isolates himself so much, maybe he slayed them by accident due something going horrifically wrong like being possessed and or cursed by something or someone or they were slain in war or by some kind of powerful enemy.

There's the fact that his boat is a coffin that he just sails around on which is amazing alone and incomprehensible to imagine, but it also has green candles which seem to imply loss/deaths and thus are funeral/underworld themed or so?

"The color green is often said to forebode death. This idea may be a survival of the ancient worship of Mercury, and even of St. Michael in Christian times, both of whom were messengers of death."

The fact has has Christian themes and heavily symbolism with crosses implies so much about him too. Is he some kind of holy crusader? Hence the Gothic style he has too? And he serves the World Government too? Lives in a war torn and thus destroyed kingdom? Or given the Dracula references in his name and design ofc, is he a sort of Dracula expy/inspiration somehow or even Van Helsing the vampire hunter? Arch enemy of Dracula?

He seems to have exactly the same eyes as Imu too, which is INSANE! And it implies SO MUCH too naturally!

Imu has red eyes if I remember right and Mihawk was meant to have red eyes apparently, not yellow. Toei apparently made a mistake by the looks of it? Yellow is the colour of "the eyes of hawks" and he is "Hawkeye" Mihawk ofc, so it completely fits in that regard but it seems like he's meant to have red eyes and thus the theories and jokes of Zoro having a Sharingan where his closed/"missing" eye is/was are infinitely more hilarious now too! Especially as some people theorised Mihawk took Zoro's eye, like how a hawk can rip your eyes with their claws too!

Also on another note, I I keep forgetting Zunishas eyes apparently are the same design but same colour as you can see in the pic above there? I wouldn't be surprised if Imu (assuming they are immortal as I suspect) or an ancestor of Imu commander Zunisha to walk for eternity somehow! Through some kind of eye ability/Conqueror's haki/Devil Fruit power? We really are getting into Naruto territory aren't we? It doesn't help we're in Wano and have ninjas and also "the Kyuubi" appearing in a previous arc too LMAO!

I know I typed an essay here and I could keep going on and on about Mihawk (but I wont ofc), as I really do love his character a lot, itwas one of the things that sold me, got me hooked into OP so much in the past. Even now around 16-17 years later at least, I'm yearning so much to see and know more about him.

I really wish Oden has gotten to meet him and spar with him too, also for Roger to have met him and dueled. Same with Prime/Young Whitebeard even. How would he fare vs Big Mom and her homies, especially Napoleon too? I wish he would still duel Shanks now too, I'm very disappointed by his reluctance to do so but I'm hoping he has some serious, personal reasons for refusing to do so.

I expect Brook to change objective and deal with another powerful opponent. That would be a treat if truly occurred.

Yeah I completely agree. Brook has never had a real 1v1 fight since he joined, he has his fight with Zeo at Fishman Island but it wasn't an all out fight. He deserves a really good duel/fight with someone and I'm still desperate to see him take on Apoo and have the most badass, lethal, destructive and just crazy, wild, "warpy" music battle!

Lmao you said nothing. I can pull the scans up showing Vista and mihawk were both fully focused on the next chapter after Already fighting.

The anime also seems to agree and portrays it the way I described it. Keep reaching
