MoistCr1TiKal Calls Mihawk A Fraud In Front Of 20 Million People

Interestingly enough, Mihawk would have remained as irrelevant as you suggest if not very many fans having a problem with his mere existence as the “Strongest swordsman”

like imagine if Shanks was a brawler like Garp, and the “legendary duels” between Mihawk and Shanks were the Roger vs Garp clashes of Swords vs Fists. Bascially imagine if you complete removed shanks from this equation completely

mihawk does everything the same as he does now but Shanks is a brawler. Would there exist even 10% the number of Mihawk threads across the entire fandom as exists now?

Mihawk given the same amount of “irrelevance” as you say he does but this time with no relation to Shanks whatsoever. What would happen?

See you problem isn’t with Mihawk or how irrelevant he is. Your problem is that Mihawk is “irrelevant” and yet stronger than your best boy. This is all that matters.

None of this discussion about how well he is written or what he means to the story or any of this “intellectual” discourse would even exist if both for the mere notion that He is the Strongest swordsman and your best boy is also a swordsman
You dialed up the wrong number, I am no Shanks fanboy lmao.

Its just a fact that in a manga were barely any of the top tiers seem to get clean wins, World's strongest titles are empty words. Oda's reliance on tell not show is big and after decades has taken its toll.

Did we ever hear of someone competing with Zoro to become WSS for example ? Not even Tashigi the other sword nerd seems to care.

You can stay in denial, it doesn't change Oda mishandled the whole WSS storyline. We went to Wano and not so much as a mention of Mihawk.

Zoro isn’t part of a tournament, I addressed this here
And what would that have to do with Zoro’s goal? Zoro’s goal isn’t to have best graded swords. It’s also not to be the master of “the two styles of swordsmanship”

this is what I mean by you want there to be tournaments and rules and rankings. You want the RANKINGS of sword grades to somehow matter to Zoro’s dream. You want there to be Rules and limits about “sword styles” to matter to Zoro’s dream

you want a scene where Zoro is fighting someone and then they shout “STOP, YOU’RE CHEATING” and then Zoro learns the “true way of the sword” in a fucking death battle and Zoro truly learns the RULES of swordsmanship so that when he fights Mihawk he can show how well he follows the rules and earns the most “swordsmanship points” in the fight with Mihawk for the Judges to declare he is WSS

sorry my guy, Zoro exists in a pirate world or ridiculous magic abilities. Zoro wants to be the greatest swordsman and that fits the world he is in because all these pirates with ridiculous magic abilities also happen to be swordsmen from time to time and Zoro wants to be stronger than them all.
There is a section of you guys who want Zoro to be like part of some kind of formalized swordsmen league or something

what does “no one is competing with Zoro” matter? I mean no one competed with Roger to find the one piece too. Literally no one in the verse knew what that even was. Roger got the pirate king title from Big news Morgans reporting on Roger doing something no one else even wanted to do. Is the “Pirate king” title also fraudulent?

You really went for the silliest interpretation of my words when its clear what I meant.

For a series that is full of people wielding swords and going to an island of swordsmiths (Wano), barely any seem to care about Mihawk or his title. Nor does he have any wins over any of them to legitimize his title in the eye of the reader. That is a mishandling of his character that you seem to ignore.

Nobody competed with Roger over the One Piece since nobody knew of it lol. We saw how the biggest pirates like Kaido and Linlin wanted to become the PK, Shanks wants to find the One Piece, and this came AFTER Roger became the PK. Its an outright lie that nobody wanted to do what Roger did.
