Lotta text but not one panel or 1 statement that claims what you headcanon, brazy
You just self defeating yourself you even self admitted it:
"non-named attacks can sometimes be stronger than named attacks but that doesn’t mean named attacks in itself is entirely irrelevant just cause oda tried to make it a joke"
The attacks are as strong as oda wants to be, the strongest attack Kizaru ever thrown out was the beam in sabody
Your initially post was "we ain't seen nothing from mihawk"
But fact is we seeing jump around like a kangro in marineford
If anything, narratively so far Shanks being is held back more and shown less because we KNOW he faced off kaido and this was not shown
Meanwhile, there is not 1 fight in the current storyline we know off that happened that is not shown with Mihawk during the manga
Just accept you were wrong lmao
Ok so let’s see
Lotta text but not 1 panel or statement ?
what do u want me to post buddy
How jet pistol was superior to base luffy’s attacks ? ( see blueno + lucci )
How gear3 was superior to g2 attacks ?
( see lucci )
how gear4 was superior to g3 attacks ?
( see doffy )
How gear5 was superior to gear4 attacks ?
( see lucci+sa )
do I really need to post panels for this very obvious stuff ?
Or is it the chinjao and Garp clash which I have to post since u don’t remember that ? Or do I have to post galaxy impact ?
I am just self defeating myself with those claims ?
what ?
my claim is that named attacks are hella relevant and we haven’t seen a single one from mihawk
ur claim is that named attacks are irrelevant in the story cause oda thinks of them as jokes
named attack is what defines a character’s fighting style ( I hope u don’t ask for a panel from this too )
Shanks’ named attack kamusari taught us a lot abt shanks and his fighting style
abt how he was trained by Roger and how he inherited his swordsmanship
abt how he was literally Roger
“ bu-but named attacks are a big joke “
“ the strongest attack kizaru ever thrown out was the beam in sabaody “

I’ll pretend I didn’t read that
because jumping like a kangaroo is what defines a fighter’s true fighting style right
zoro also jumped a lot against lucci but ended his ass with 1 named attack
how exactly is shanks being held back narratively more true ( post panel ) when we have seen shanks be super upset against strong characters ?
We have still not seen what happened between kaido and shanks
All we know are these things
- something happened which made kaido acknowledge shanks
- shanks arrived at marineford without any scratch ( it almost seemed impossible )
- kaido still considers himself superior to shanks
it’s not portrayal which strictly refers to combat
“ just accept that u were wrong “
Or u are the one who should accept thay
U picked up surface level arguments abt this
I mean we have def seen mihawk jump around more than shanks so we have seen more from him
but what I meant was his true power reveal ( which I have been fuckin saying ) and it’s something who u are trying to be ignorant towards
so lemme be clear to u ( again )
- what I meant was a true power reveal from mihawk
- Something which we got from shanks in ch 1079
