Thats purely subjective my guy
For me
Shanks looked the best after whitebeard
but this is what I am talking abt
Who do u think looked better in marineford
Akainu or aokiji ?
in terms of portrayal and showings
Akainu absolutely stomps aokiji and the main reasoning behind it is marineford simply being akainu’s introduction arc
for kuzan it was foxy’s island where he showcased his signature attack ( ice age )
but end of the day despite seeing the huge gap in showings ,
Akainu and kuzan are still close equals with akainu barely edging out
Plenty of panel time doesn’t mean oda will let u showcase all of ur abilities
Dragon also has plenty of panel time but we have never really seen how he even fights
Same for Blackbeard who’s true strength is still
Hidden till this day
and I will actually disagree with him not having a presence
When the war started
Mihawk was literally the first guy to be highlighted from world government’s side
u had doflamingo fanboyand actually being curious on what he is abt to do
and his slash being the main hype for jozu
His slash was literally stated as the strongest
Later on it’s done the same with kizaru’s laser beams
and there is much more but I don’t wanna make this a mihawk thread
also abt the “ cut big ice cubes “
U should see just how old marineford
During that time cutting that huge ass iceberg was a craaazy feat
and the only one who did something similar to that was whitebeard with his gura power
U can’t really compare that to this presence
shanks has the backing of his entire crew
He is a yonko
It wasn’t really a moment of highlighting individual strength
Mihawk doesn’t have that
