Speculations Mihawk became "inhuman" due to life experiences, it has nothing to do with genetics

[Sugoi]

So the official translation came out, which makes it clear that Zoro was indeed referring to Mihawk in this comment

Zoro is implying that Mihawk is even less human than a killer robot. People have been speculating that Mihawk is less human because he might be different race. However, this doesn't make any sense. Remember that S-hawk is made with Mihawk's DNA, so that would mean that S-hawk would also have the genes of that race. (any "inhuman" trait that mihawk may have in terms of genetics, S-hawk would also have, therefor that can't be the factor that makes Mihawk less human)

The only factor Mihawk has that S-hawk doesn't, is his life experience. S-hawk hasn't lived the life that Mihawk has. I believe that Mihawk has been moulded in to a "monster" due to experiencing hardships and betrayal. We know that Mihawk has trouble trusting others, so there must be an event(s) that triggered him to feel this way

People have been saying that Zoro made that comment just because Mihawk is stronger than S-hawk. While strength is certainly part of it, that cant be the only reason. You wouldn't call roger or whitebeard less human than a robot just because they are stronger, it definitely has to do with Mihawk's personality as well. The experiences that Mihawk has faced has made him less human, which in-turn has made him stronger as well. I think Oda may be cooking something big with Mihawk's backstory.

Yes, since the start of the manga Mihawk has shown a cold and distant behaviour towards most. Even with a so called ''friend'' in Shanks.

Only times he's shown some sort of emotion was with Zoro/Luffy in Baratie in regards to their dreams, Zoro beating the Baboons and of course some semblance of care for Perona.

Cold as ice.

 

[L55]

Zoro def got mihawk mad and he showed him that inhuman side that s why zoro lost his eye

 

[Fujishiro]

Cold as ice.

Wonder what made him become like that.

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

That one panel of Zoro clashing with S-Hawk alone open up possibilities of things. Mihawk's hidden race, Mihawk's monstrous strength, Mihawk's potential flashback, Mihawk's devoid of emotion, etc.

Mihawk can't stop winning.

 

[JayKitetsu]

I need that Mihawk backstory expeditiously. He can easily have one of the best ones in the series for sure

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Like y'all gotta stop looking at this panel in powerscaling perspective (Blackbeard, instantaneous sweat, etc.)

Y'all gotta look at this narratively. This is actually hyped for Mihawk since the Cross Guild incident. This reveals some hints of Mihawk's story and plot relevancy for the future. Mihawk definitely has a sad backstory (like 99% of OP characters) and it will be one of the best if done correctly.

As for my theory of Mihawk's backstory? I think Mihawk has a scar on his back. He probably got backstabbed by someone he trust (hence why he got disdain for trust).

Mihawk respected Zoro for saying that a scar on the back is a shame for swordsman. Not saying Mihawk is a terrible swordsman for having a back scar by any chance but fate just happens to be unlucky for him. So he trains so much and beat every opponents to the point that he got no one left to compete with him to regress his rage.

Mihawk saw potential in Zoro in Baratie so he made a vow to Zoro about surpassing him as he sees Zoro will be someone that Mihawk would never be. Mihawk is a "shameful" swordsman and a lone wolf while Zoro is an honorable swordsman with friends that supported him (the Strawhats).

Mihawk got some "humanity" back when he lived with Perona and Zoro for two years. He probably felt joy and happiness for the first time in his life since the "betrayal".

Mihawk is a tragic well written character or soon to be.

They are not fully robots, they clearly have emotions as we see from S Snake, I agree about him surprising since he talked about his humanity

The ZKKboys who said Seraphims are robots and shouldn't show emotions once again proved they can't read.

Jinbe simply thanked S-Snake and S-Snake become emotional quickly and sweating based on a simple thank you.

Thats how emotinal these Seraphims are.

Zolo talked about S-Hawk's humanity which made S-Hawk emotional (if Jinbe thanking them can make the same then its natural) and made him sweat as well as Zolo surprising him suddenly when S-Hawk was focused on Lilith.

Thats clearly a parallel to Jinbe-S Snake since Jinbe too compared to S Snake to Hancock and said S Snake is nicer, and S Snake got emotional. Same thing with Zolo and SHawk.

Why Zolo said he looks more human? Being weak doesn't make someone more human. His own captain is more human than anyone. Lanji didn't need to be less human to be strong.

S Hawk was clearly holding back and didn't use mountain slash so Zolo was talking about that SHawk holding back more than Mihawk, same as S Snake being nicer, S Hawk was holding back his mountain slash power.

what kind of logic..

 

[Don't Mind Me]

I agree with this approach to the panels. Mihawk is far more stoic than S-Hawk. If S-Hawk is base Mihawk, and S-Hawk is expressive, then something must have happened to make current Mihawk less so. Part of it may be due to age/maturity. There is also the Lunarian influence on the Seraphim (maybe it makes them all more fiery, if you'll pardon my choice of words). I'm sure there is more to it stemming from Mihawk's life experience. That will be an interesting flashback to see.

 

[Sword God Ryuma]

That boy is borderline on the spectrum

 

[Lor D. Coast]

Wonder what made him become like that.

Shanks stopped putting out.

I do hope Mihawk have some tragic backstory, seeing too much violence or betrayal as a big life lesson not to trust/get swayed by your own emotions, in order to survive as the peak of swordsmen etc.

 

[Toonpiece]

Not every panel need to be powerscale. What these shows is a clone is their own thing. Molded by environment. This is one of the most important themes in one piece. We see in fishmen island how hody Jones were moulded by environment to be a monster. Jinbei also said s-snake is nicer than boa Hancock. Zoro

said s-hawk is different than mihawk. I'm sure clone stussy is also very different than original stussy in their personalities cause of different environment they born with. There is something about mihawk at one point that make him less

human. Probably betrayal. Oda is cooking for mihawk backstory. His backstory will be like boa tier. Boa is not nicer than cause of slavery thing. So she is different than s-snake. We have to see what incident that cause mihawk to be Inhuman

 

[Redboy776]

Wonder what made him become like that.

Crocodile refered to it when he say himself and Mihawk are alike and dont trust others.

I think Mihawk had some Dark story and Lost fair in freindship to become a Lone Wolf.

 

[Marimo_420]

Borderline?

 

[Terra Arseid7]

S Hawk was clearly holding back and didn't use mountain slash so Zolo was talking about that SHawk holding back more than Mihawk, same as S Snake being nicer, S Hawk was holding back his mountain slash power.

Here goes again xd, another fallacy, he couldn't cut anything because Zoro is able to block all of Shawk's attack to protect those behind, unlike the fat toothless one, who couldn't stop the attack completely and pooped on

 

[U c 4 up da idly]

Mihawk is inhuman because of his strength it's similar to what was used to describe big mom and kaido
