Character Discussion Mihawk never going to Wano is bad writing

[ConquistadoR]

Then it may really be a reference to Zoro's 3 swords. Question is if he'll carry Kitetsu III to EoS.

I doubted him carrying Sandai too, until we saw 1033 where he jumped off Onigashima to save Sandai & his consequent flashbacks of how he got his current 3 set. That changed my mind, this is gonna be his final 3.

Sandai = 3
Zoro uses 3 swords

Nidai = 2
Momonosuke will use 2 swords

Shodai = 1
Luffy will use 1 sword…

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

Yes you can make the argument "how would Mihawk know the Samurai's strength if he's never been", but as the reader you already know these guys were ass and he has nothing to prove by picking a fight with them.

Also a Yonko's territory, not worth.

Shodai is with Venus.

 

[Albino 👑]

Shodai is with Venus.

 

[ConquistadoR]

Once again, odds are high that Venus has the Shodai. And Zoro will fight & shatter it likely.

Something fishy about the Kitetsu is that they skipped a grade. I wanted to make a thread about it too.

Well hopefully that’s not the case. I think it would be cool if the 3 of them each had a kitetsu

King destroyed the best swordsmen of vano 20 years ago (ashura doji) Mihouk's disciple destroyed King

 

[zenox]

That only proves Mihawk plays safe doesn't want to take the real challenges, so he has no scar. Always postpone.

[Serizzo]

i don’t really get the plot hole…. A swordsman of Mihawks caliber in Wano would’ve deterred Kaido from Wano. That alone would explain why Mihawk didn’t waste his time traveling into the country. Us readers know the samurai on average are great swordsman compared to citizens of other countries/islands but when it comes to actual sword prowess they don’t match up to the top tiers

 

[Oliver]

Midhawk's character has always been pretty bad and contradictory; on the one hand it seems to be implied that he's looking for some great fight, but he hides out in paradise with a bunch of monkeys and consistently backs down from challenging fights.

It's just embarrassing at this point.

 

[Monkey D Monkey]

Kaidou kept all of these individuals away.

 

[BlackLegFring]

It’s just Oda’s poor handling of such sidelined plot elements that he doesn’t care about that much.
He’d probably just say that Mihawk forgot about the nation of swordsmen.

 

[Sir Tuna Sandwich II]

Why would Mihawk go to some isolated shithole?

 

[Moegara]

Well hopefully that’s not the case. I think it would be cool if the 3 of them each had a kitetsu

Why do you want Luffy to wield a sword? He doesn't know how and you know he's not learning.

 

[Albino 👑]

Why do you want Luffy to wield a sword? He doesn't know how and you know he's not learning.

Because I think it’d be cool for luffy to get a weapon and we’ve luffy with swords on multiple occasions. Plus all the other emperors have weapons

 

[Moegara]

Because I think it’d be cool for luffy to get a weapon and we’ve luffy with swords on multiple occasions. Plus all the other emperors have weapons

We have seen him fail to use them on two occasions, why waste a supreme blade on someone who won't treat it properly?

He's Luffy, he won't get a weapon.

 

[Celestial D. Dragon]

Why would Mihawk go to an Island that was already conquered by someone else? The entire Country fell to Kaido. Do you think that screams "There are countless strong Swordmen here!" Their most renowned Swordsman died, and the rest of the Country didn't have the strength to keep Kaido and his crew from taking over....

Mihawk didn't go to Wano, because there was no need to. He didn't have to go there to know there was nobody there worth fighting.

Him going to Wano would have been bad writing. It would have made him seem incompetent to not know that there were no worthy opponents in a Country that was already completely subdued by an outside force.

 

[Haoshoku]

People who are disagreeing with the OP by bringing up the fact that Wano’s Samurai are actually weak isn’t a good argument. Mihawk was introduced literally chasing Don Krieg and his men in the East Blue out of boredom lmao. Purely on a scale of Mihawk’s interest, Wano would certainly be on the top of his go-to list when it was described like this:

How does the world’s strongest swordsman not even set foot in a land with seemingly renowned swordsmen? It’s a plot hole plain and simple.
