Future Events Bet Your Account: Is Saint Shanks Actually Evil?

[Elder Lee Hung]

The more evil we find out the Gorosei are, the more little Figarland seems like the most sus character in the whole story:

They clearly know him very well and speak with him privately quite often. And we know the Gorosei are actual fucking demons:

And the Celestial Dragon, under the Gorosei’s protection, are just heinously evil:

So is Saint Shanks actually evil after all?

Do it Oda…

I wouldn't bet my account but I don't mind avy/sig bet.

Anyway, I think that's just a bait set up by Oda. I don't think Oda would make his golden boy "evil".

 

[MonsterKaido]

This vid is pretty good about shanks.

 

[Sentinel]

Well I believe he won't be that "saint" like many people expect he'll be. At least I'm expecting him to be one of the core antagonists in the final saga. This is pretty much a thing since Shanks is also aiming for the OP.

It remains to be seen why Shanks basically sacrificed his arm for the new generation like that. I'm sure he has some ulterior motives and everything was planned for a bigger case. He also definitely knows about the world sinking into the ocean.

 

[AkainuTheGrimReaper]

Nah shanks will be portrayed red communist man . You are overthinking.

Think as sanji but left wing side . He has evil father like judge.

 

[The White Crane]

Interesting, but I honestly don't care enough for Shanks to bet anything on him. I'll have to pass.

 

[Definitivo]

No.

Furthermore, being evil would automatically make him the final villain given the enormous power difference that exists with respect to the rest of the Top Tier.

PD: I don't bet my account. LOL

Why you let the option to change your vote?

Fixed. Lol

 

[Albino 👑]

Evil? No
He’s likely just willing and capable of making hard decisions and sacrifices to keep the people he cares about safe

 

[Kumathegoat]

Yes.

He slowly killed Roger with poison and he works recruiting children and slaves for the Tenryubito.

He is a rat

 

[Gol D. Roger]

He met them once, so I wouldn't call it "often". Shanks prolly isn't evil, but it's possible he has his own motives behind wanting OP. I doubt he cares about ruling the world.

 

[Elder Lee Hung]

He met them once, so I wouldn't call it "often".

The way they spoke to him implies they speak all the time. Lol

 

[Gol D. Roger]

The way they spoke to him implies they speak all the time. Lol

None of what they said implies they do. If anything, they looked overly concerned about meeting him for people who talk with him often.

 

[OliveShark]

Slippery slope fallacy gone wild.

This kind of speculation only offers extreme hypotheticals.

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

BTW I'm not betting any thing for this, even though I did the poll. Just wanted to specify that so I wouldn't get my whole damn account erased for a retarded bet

I don't think they met him because shanks is evil. This doesn't make sense.

They were willing to meet him because of his lineage and him being not the type of the yonkou who acts to disturb balance of power.


Him going after one piece is another plot which often is taken as an argument to justify he's evil but we end up ignoring other crucial aspects

1)While he declared his desire to go after one piece he still end up protecting SNs at wano just like how he did at MF

2) At elbaf, he clearly said - he was at wano due to BB.

He is more inclined to stop BB from interfering with SHs than to actually go after RPGs (like how BB did).


I still don't see how Shanks is actually evil or him being evil fit in grand scheme of things

 

[GalaxyLevelShanks]

Come out clown

 

[Johnny B. Decent]

Two things stick out to me: How he managed to find a Cipher Pol ship after the WG finally got their hands on Nika's fruit and him going to a random-ass island in the East Blue where the son of his captain just happened to live.

So, I feel like he was up to something regarding that.

 

[Zoinks52]

Not betting my account but I always thought it would be a balance as far as the Yonko were concerned.

Kaido, BM - "Bad" Yonko, properly introduced post TS, harmed Luffy.

Shanks, WB - "Good" Yonko, properly introduced pre TS, helped Luffy out.

If the pattern holds, BB will likely kill Shanks as well similar to WB.

This will likely inspire Buggy-sama to team up with Luffy against BB and accidentally end up becoming the God of the Pirates, I think.

Yeah I think he'll be a good guy in a very manipulative sort of way, playing the WG and Luffy to make sure Roger's will is carried on.
