Powers & Abilities Kamusari is obviously swordsmanship

[Shiroyru]

How did the railgun get sliced in half here reading this and arguing kamusari doesn't cut

It got shattered

[Shiroyru]

You can see pieces of it flying all over the place. Even the anime agrees lol

Why would Shanks not want to cut Kid?

Look at the panel again, Shanks cut his railgun cleanly in half with Kamusari.

He spared Kid.

Who says shanks isn't a swordsman?

Apparently Shiroryu.

Doesn’t brogy have an axe ? And not a sword ?

Kaku was throwing sword slashes with his leg lol

Trying to get anti-Mihawk freaks to be intellectually honest in these discussions is like asking US libs what is a woman

A sword technique performed with an axe.

Zoro performed a sword technique with a scythe.

Shanks doesnt use swordsmanship, he imbues himself through the sword, so it is an extension of himseld.

Clear as day

“Cleanly in half” while there’s many pieces flying all over the place…

Fraudnks needs to get his skill level up. Low level sloppy cuts.

“Cleanly in half” while there’s many pieces flying all over the place…

The railgun was composed of little pieces and is about to explode. Components don't hold together after being cut apart.

Are you unable to see the two halves cleanly split? After a character hit them horizontally with the blade of a sword?

Shanks learned Kamusari at the age of 15. It means he had access to that move against Mihawk. Yet it apparently didn't disqualify him from being Mihawk's biggest rival.

Are you back to the swordtard phase

I have some questions for you:

1. Do you believe Yasopp is the world’s greatest marksman?

2. Do you believe Beckman fights primarily with a gun?

Ben fights primarily with a gun and is a more powerful marksman than Yasopp. I see where you are getting at. Maybe Yasopp is just more proficient with a rifle, has greater skill, can aim shots Ben can't, while Ben is more about raw power (or maybe not, maybe Ben has the best skill too), but to be the strongest swordsman is not only about skill, but about power and Haki too. That's why Kuina complained that she will never be able to be the greatest, just by virtue of lacking the physical strength.

If Shanks could shatter Zoro using shockwaves, do you think Zoro would consider himself the greatest swordsman?

Marksman can increase the power of their shots with Haki though, so shouldn’t the same logic apply? Precision is also an important part of being a good swordsman. They need to be precise in order to cut only what they want to cut. A powerful brute mindlessly swinging around a sword wouldn’t be able to do stuff like surgically cut the Pacifista to only temporarily disable them rather than destroying them, for example.

The problem is that Oda’s sword choreography (and fighting choreography in general) just sucks, so it’s hard to convey “skill” in a sword fight when most of the time he’s just drawing a random flurry of parries
