Break Week How Likely Is It For Shanks To Get Offscreened?

[York]

Not giving it a 0% but more of a .1%. Oda's ultimate Jumping The Shark moment

 

[NAMELESS]

Not before Luffy meets him and gives the hat back.

 

[The White Crane]

Shanks enjoyers are feeling the heat right now, Gigabeard is on the move with no one to stop him, Shanks tried to snitch on him to the Gorosei but that won't do no good.
The fight is inevitable, how likely is it for Shanks to get offscreened, whether it's from the beginning or mid fighting.

It seems to me that Shanks is a very important character lore wise, but when it comes to fighting maybe Oda is just too embarassed/afraid to draw him.

Love your avatar. Airi Ban from DS2, right?

Yup best girl from the best spin off SMT game (I don't count Persona games as a spin off, more like a whole different series really)

 

[LordofCinder]

You fools.
Shanks’ next move isn’t getting offscreened by BB, his next move is to cry to Dragon about BB, so he can complete the entire faction set

 

[Fuckthis3]

Lol I remember shanks downplayers saying the next time we see or hear shanks he got offscreen 7 days past in wano he still alive and well

 

[Finalbeta]

He is way too prominent

 

[JoNdule]

For Shanks to have a 70-150 chapters arc :

• Needs to be Luffy's opponent
• Needs to be a villain
• Needs to one of the Main villain of this final saga not Teach

All are unlikely to happen

Final Saga : Teach and Imu (WG) (Akainu/ GB or Vegapunk might be the 3rd main villain)
Yonko Saga (WCI & Wano Sagas per canon marks) : Kaido and BM (with Katakuri as 3rd villain)
DR Saga : Doffy ( with Ceasar & Vergo as villains of PH )

I don’t want to derail thread. (Mods please forgive me). DS3 needs to be made!

 

[uyuu]

I think that chance is 0%.

Whether Shanks is gonna be killed by BB or Admirals and being humiliated, or Shanks is actually beating some Admirals or Mihawk first to protect someone, or even if Shanks is actually an evil guy who backstab BB and eat his corpse etc, it'll happen on-screen absolutely imo.

 

[Master OF Haki]

The rest of the series seems like it’s being centered around the dude, so I’m gonna say it’s a less than zero percent chance he dies offscreen, or really at all

Here's the thing: we will obviously get Shanks on screen doing something, we will probably get a Shanks centric arc where Luffy and Shanks finally meet, we even might get Luffy vs Shanks friendly duel just like Whitbeard and Roger had. But I think Shanks vs Blackbeard is gonna be just like Ace vs Blackbeard, exactly the same way for exactly the same reason–regardless of whether Shanks dies or simply gets defeated.

 

[style]

The chances of a complete off screen are 0%, but he's likely to get the Ace treatment that is one and half chapter of fight and the rest off screened.

He will not get a full fledged on screen fight if he ends up against Teach.
It never happened:
-Ace vs Teach was off screened at a certain point
-WB Vs Roger showed only the initial clash
-Oden Vs Kaido showed only a glimpse of the full fight and had literally two pages long span

Whenever two combatants fight and there is no Mugiwara around they only get nothing but crumbs screen time wise.

Of course Luffy vs Shanks would be a completely different matter, but I believe that he will fight against BB and get killed

[Dark Admiral]

Shanks tried to snitch on him to the Gorosei but that won't do no good.

talking about BB was one and done case scenario. Shanks has no use for him any further unless he comes begging for some.
0% or even less chances are there for him to be offscreened.

 

[Finalbeta]

He deserves his golden moment

 

[DiscoZoro20]

That's great but not canon, if Shanks ever fights and defests on panel someone of Kaido's caliber it would be hype.

It's very canon. Only thing arguable is if Big Mom is equal to Kaido. Both are however inferior to Shanks.

 

[Finalbeta]

I hope we will see him in Elbaf

Luffy has to render him his hat back

 

[Cruxroux]

we will probably see a small fight like ace vs blackbeard but not full feldged fight.

 

[Finalbeta]

My boy Shanks is setting for an epic entry

 

[mimzymo93]

I'm hoping it's pulls an itachi with shanks instead of the predictable "villain kills mentor" trope
