Questions & Mysteries Will Teach vs Shanks deliver

#41
nah,
Oda is gonna dumb down Shanks where he suddenly forgets he's fast and can just blitz him and has future sight

It's gonna be one of the dumbest looking fights ever
 
#42
No

It's going to be offscreened like Ace vs BB. That fight was also years in the making and we only saw a chapter or so of fighting.

There are four fights Oda absolutely cannot fuck up:

- Blackbeard vs Shanks
- Akainu vs Luffy
- Blackbeard vs Luffy
- Mihawk vs Zoro (even though I also think there's a chance that this might not happen)

About Blackbeard vs Shanks, it's true we're probably not gonna see all of it. Still, we needs to see an all out Shanks, and at least a portion of Blackbeard's arsenal on page.
Don’t worry, Oda will certainly make sure to fuck it up royally as usual and surpass himself, don’t lose trust in Goda

One thing we know for sure, if Teach is truly going to 1v1 Shanks, then Shanks end will be offpanelled. Oda is not going to show us Blackbeard's moveset before he fights Luffy.

Shanks will be an offpanel victim. Let's just hope Oda gives Shanks better treatment than he did Ace (or Law) with only 1 chapter of showcase. Ideal situation factoring Oda offpanelling the end would be dedicating like 3 chapters to the fight and then the ending offpanelled so that Teach can show what he's capable of against Luffy.

I would say the chances Shanks gets the Ace treatment aren't low, which is concerning. We're already fighting a losing battle with Teach's wins requiring an offscreen.

Oda won’t feed Shanks to hype up BB, they should be around equals or close. Only one guy in the world gaps Shanks right now and it is Imu. All those wankfests for Shanks and him jobbing to Imu is the foundation to elevate the final villain’s threat level. BB isn’t the final villain, that idea should be given up.
All that intense Shanks wank after Wano is leading to him being fed to Teach.
Shanks is dying before he even meets Luffy and gets back his Strawhat.
He won't be around in the story, when Luffy vs Teach happens.

This isn't BM vs Luffy.
That fight was set-up since FMI and will never happen.Which proves my point that set-ups means nothing in this manga

You rly think Oda is off-screening his own inner self and one of his biggest moneymakers?You cant be serious

Shanks is more popular as BB.Dont even try to deny it

No idea what Ace has to do with all of this.

If you think Oda is gonna show Blackbeard's moveset in detail before fighting Luffy, you're far more gullible than ZKK folk.

Know the author whose work you are commenting on. This is one of Oda's iron clad rules, he's not breaking this rule for Luffy's most significant fight in the entire story.

If SH ain't around.
I really doubt If we even get to see the full fight.

We might get things like Law vs BB , BB vs Boa and stuff.

Because Oda still need to keep a element of surprise for the reader when BB fights luffy.

Ace was one of the most popular characters pre-time skip.
Law was one of the most popular characters post-time skip.
Both were sacrificed to hype Teach.
Shanks is dying before Luffy vs Teach or Zoro vs Shiryu happens.
He's going to be massively powercreeped by the time Zoro vs Mihawk happens :willight:

I really hope fight actually happens and its a proper one , so far Oda is allergic of giving us top tiers battle that does not include Luffy.

I am wondering will Shanks fight Luffy too , because many fans actually expect this fight to happen too regardless is it serious fight or Shanks testing Luffys worth.

Maybe Luffy and Shanks battle will happen first and they would fight on equal ground like Kaido - Big Mom, then Blackbeard defeats Shanks and gets hyped as Luffy next opponent and reminder to Luffy that he still needs to get stronger.

After Kaido it should be clear the moveset of the enemys are like 2 or 3 attacks lol.Kaidos main attacks were 3 different TB´s and all 3 looked the same.BB has the Gura Gura and this fruits attack are:
-Kaishin
-Gekishin
-Kabutowari
-Shima Yurashi
-Quake-Explosion

All of them are visual almost the same

Yami-Yami is Gravity,Null other DFs and BFR

Even if this is true,then Oda needs to show Shanks entire Arsenal

I can make an argument that BB vs Shanks will turns out to be the modern era version of Roger vs WB because we never will get a full fight of Roger on-screen.And Shanks already showed Kamusari.

And what makes you think that Shanks is doomed to lose against BB?Arguments can be made for being the other way around
Ace was one of the most popular characters pre-time skip.
Law was one of the most popular characters post-time skip.
Got it,but neither of them were end-game MAJOR players.Ace died Pre-TS and Law become ruffys cheerleader in DR,neither of them had even for a single second the hope to be massive relevant.Shanks is a part of the PK Race

Shanks has most likely a connection to the Tenryuubito

I claimed back in OJ that BB will kill Shanks off-screen.Now i believe Shanks will defeat BB.And no,i dont see a problem with that theory
Zoro vs Mihawk happens
I doubt that will ever happen.And dont come with the absurd idea of that event being a Post-EoS event after Luffy become the PK AND the WG got destroyed

At what point of the Story should this happen?

He won't be around in the story, when Luffy vs Teach happens.
Or he’s fighting Garling/Imu while Luffy is fighting Teach for the One Piece. Shanks being fed to Imu makes more sense to subvert such a predictable but ultimately unsatisfactory outcome of Shanks vs BB (since we all know that BB will never win without the dirtiest tactics imaginable). Winning through dirty tactics doesn’t hype you up at all. Imu can hypetool a full-powered Shanks without resorting to dirty tactics.

Dying to Imu accomplishes 2 things:
1. Add a personal layer to Luffy’s fight against Imu
2. Hypes up the final villain as the guy who beat Luffy’s idol and one of the strongest guys in modern times.

Dragon can fulfill the hyping up factor but Luffy doesn’t give a shit about Dragon so feeding Shanks instead will add a more dramatic underlying tone regarding Luffy vs Imu.

Here's the thing.

Dragon's entire fight in this manga is against the World Govt which Imu leads, while everything about Shanks starting with his scar, what he spoke to WB has been revolving around Teach.

Logically, who should fight against who?

That’s exactly where Oda has you fooled. There is no ironclad rule that Shanks has to die to Teach or Dragon has to die to Imu specifically.
The interactions between these entities are the only thing that is set to happen. Dragon can die fighting through a gauntlet involving Akainu and the gorosei.

There is no ironclad rule, but the setup so far points towards it. I think Shanks is falling to BB while Dragon will beat a Gorosei before falling to Imu in a 4/5v1 like Enel vs Zoro/Ganfall/Robin/Wyper. Anyway, lets see what happens.
