There are a few of us who love Mihawk for his own sake and don't use him as a stepladder for Zoro. Don't lump us in with toxicity.
Yea i know, i may seem way too generalizing in that statement, sorry. Still i feel that kind of vibe tho since Mihawk is a part of Zoro's future powerscaling and narrative. I loved Mihawk since the first time he appeared. His dracula fashion, the single imposing black sword, his coldness (even when it's stereotypical), and in Kuraigana i loved him even more with his laugh and him being fond of wine, finally revealing more layers within his personality. Even his own name and animal theme sounds extremely powerful, Mihawk.
But currently my appreciation toward Zoro and Mihawk is decreased since i knew fandom war lol.
