Character Discussion Agenda aside, Oda's writing of Mihawk is atrocious
- Thread starter duke
- Start date
I wholeheartedly agree.
No one sharing Zoro's ambition makes it less compelling. But this is the case for the other Strawhats in general; most of them have unique dreams not shared by others.
This just goes to show that Zoro isn't particularly special. He's not the deuteragonist or anything like that.
Just one of Luffy's more important crew members.

I would have prefered for Zoro to find likeminded foes because his dream has an actual living person as the end goal.
It's not a fantasy like the All Blue or a Panacea, not vague like Becoming a Brave Warrior.
Hell, even the One Piece is seen as a fantasy by a lot of people pre Marineford and WB confirming its existance.
Having rivals en route to WSS would offer great opportunities for development for him, to understand the road Mihawk had to take in his time. And to learn different styles and how to counter them, different skills and how to use them.

Yeah trolling aside there's a lot of things Oda should have done with Mihawk.
1) Make the WSS title mean something. Zoro having rivals throughout the story would have been good. It feels like all of Zoro's fights in the arc are just there because Zoro needs someone to fight while Luffy resolves whatever the problem is on an island.
2) Mihawk should have crushed Vista. The first proper swordsman we see fight Vista stalemated him WTF. Making Mihawk the dominant force in the world for swords user what perfect chance is there than crush a famous swordsmen.
3) Give him lore for Wano. Mihawk is the only other person other than Ryuuma to make a black blade. There should have been something with this.
4) Not joining CG. As a Marine Hunter that's what Mihawk should be doing now. Collecting bounties of marines for CG for sport. Mihawk should have been bringing T Bones dead ass back. But no we get him sweating over fighting other Yonkos.

Gotta love the fact that Oda never showed any panels of Mihawk during Rogerβs flashback even though he was in his crew
The marines conflate Buggyβs strength with legends like Rayleigh and Gaban
Marines by definition see Rayleigh and Gaban > Mihawk
Mihawk doesnβt even have fame with the Wano society
If WSS means Jack shit , why do marines think old Rayleigh > WSS ?
