Nah, no meltdowns. I really think he has it because in the manga was black, wasn't corrected in volume and in the OP wall was black.. If he doesn't have it, well, a shame but one can go on: I like the story of Gennai Aramaki so there is that too.
Hope you guys will be alright if he has it. And honestly, I don't get all this commotion: just hype him if he has it lol.
Oda is sick of Shanks: last time he even had to hype Shanks haki compared to Joy boy, JOY BOY.
Even BB, the one who will kill him, I am willing to bet will make an horrendous display just because even in death Oda will have to hype Shanks.
Anyway, as I said the other day:
the scene of Shanks-GB was way overhyped. Imu reacted in the same way at Joy Boy's haki, but Imu Isn't a lot weaker than Joy Boy for sure (and Shansk's haki was even hyped by the giants) and now one even tried to say It. However, with GB someone did try.
Also, opposite of Imu, GB Is over the top with his reactions, we saw this against Momo too (
https://worstgen.alwaysdata.net/for...mples-of-greenbull-acting-like-a-clown.59070/), and anyway explicitly retreated in front of Shanks'
whole crew.
He said It himself and even said that It wasn't the time to fight them, not even that he wouldn't fight them period:
Kaido himself had King with him (and didn't have to deal with the mugi, Kidd and Law too) and still retreated in front of the RHP. And Shanks didn't even have a wrinkle on his shorts at MF, Kaido didn't even fazed him lol.
He Is just Oda's golden boy, even compared to Joy Boy as we saw. That + film Red promotion + Ryo being histrionic + him talking about the RHP as a whole + the already impossible situation + Kaido's past example are enough to explain what happened.
