A Kinemon/King analogy would explain pretty well what I think about the difference in Zoro/Mihawk's fighting style compared to Shanks/ Roger.

Kinemon vs King fighting style
Kinemon: Uses its flames to strengthen its cutting abilities, ie: swordsmanship skill

King: Uses his sword to calibrate your flames making a fire dragon that has nothing to do with cutting skills.



Zoro/Mihawk vs Shanks/Roger fighting style
Zoro/Mihawk: Use haki to strengthen their slashing/cutting skills, ie: swordsmanship skill

Shanks/Roger: Use their swords to wield their CoC skills by creating bursts that have absolutely nothing to do with cutting skills.




He doesn't, he doesn't cut.
because oden defended himself genius :laughmoji:
 
Wait wait wait delay the nap a bit cuz deriving alternative translations ain't cutting it

you just proved that zoro wants to be the WSS... Dai kengo is just a proficient version of Kenshi ( swordman) a level you may say in this context its Great swordman.. in Viz and self translation

Zoro never says Worlds strongest Swordsman in Baratie

he says "worlds greatest kenshi"


the Kanji for strongest, greatest and best is the same (ζœ€εΌ·)


so Viz is being consistent and you aren't

This explain Dai Kengo and its inferior rank

i essence zoro does want to be the greatest by defeating the Greatest swordsman out there which is Mihawk

Shanks in not the greatest swordsman or the Dai-Kengo..Mihawk is Dai-Kengo someone who fought toe to toe with Shanks with superior skill..

now this explains why yall were so desperate to cover up what marines said
It has the same Kanji as World Strongest Man, World Strongest Creature doesn't it? So is Whitebeard the World Strongest or The World Greatest Man?

It isn't.

Worlds Greatest Swordsman comes from Sekaiichi no Daikengo. (literal translation as the #1 Daikengou)
Worlds Strongest Swordsman comes from Sekai Saikyo no Kenshi. (Worlds' Strongest Swordsman).

Zoro here says Saikyo no Kenshi. WB's & Kaido's titles are Sekai Saikyo no Otoko/Seibutsu.
Saikyo means the Strongest.

Na its different words. The viz has called him both Greatest and Strongest
 
It isn't.

Worlds Greatest Swordsman comes from Sekaiichi no Daikengo. (literal translation as the #1 Daikengou)
Worlds Strongest Swordsman comes from Sekai Saikyo no Kenshi. (Worlds' Strongest Swordsman).

Zoro here says Saikyo no Kenshi. WB's & Kaido's titles are Sekai Saikyo no Otoko/Seibutsu.
Saikyo means the Strongest.
Thats the thing its your bias.. Saikyiu is synonymous to Best and greatest too.. and Viz consistently translates as greatest and you choose to twist if

there can be multiple translations but we aren't sitting there and translating

its Blatant as day that its Greatest and its been reiterated over and over

Viz has translated Saikyo as Strongest in every single one of the titles given so far but this one is an exception because in some contexts Saikyo is used to refer to the Greatest right? :pepehawk:

Viz translates "Sekaiichi no Daikengou" as Greatest Swordmaster in the World. The word Saikyo doesn't even exists there.

its Blatant as day that its Greatest and its been reiterated over and over
It isn't.
Zoro doesn't even use the word Saikyo when he talks about how he wants to be the Greatest Swordsmaster so there is no reason for it to be Greatest here.

Mihawk is both
 
We're talking about how Viz interpreters it for the story.. its greatest for Zoro's dream and Mihawk and Strongest for other...
clear distinctions
Why would it make a difference ? Greatest or Strongest is pretty much the same thing in the end. By becoming the WGS he doesnt mean that he can do some Cabaji-circus acrobatic shit, he means to be able to win against any other swordsman.
