Powers & Abilities Can we all agree Devine departure didn't cut?

[Kiiro]

Might be kinda a canon.

 

[Albino 👑]

A sword attack.

True like ikoku is one as well

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Damn that's a powerful blade thrust.

 

[MarineHQ]

Shanks is a swordsman but Oda will remove him from the contenders list. Just you watch.

 

[Lor D. Coast]

Shanks is a swordsman but Oda will remove him from the contenders list. Just you watch.

The list is just him and Mihawk according to what Oda wrote a few months back.

 

[ShadowStyle369]

All of us obviously don't agree on that
Which is why the thread isn't about swordsmanship but specifically the nature of the attack

So u don’t think this is the pinnacle of swordsmanship on display from roger and shanks ?

Personally no
I think the strongest swordsmenship attacks will involve cutting or piercing

 

[Santoryu D Bazooka]

He used a named sword called Griffon to attack did he not? or is Griffon not a sword?

But then Zoro's whole progression is a Mistake?

 

[Rukusho]

Looks like it did both.

We can see the railgun being cut in half, and then Kidd himself doesn’t seem to be cut just heavily wounded like Oden.

He cut and didn’t cut in 1 slash, I really think this is the best swordsmanship we’ve seen in the whole series.

ikkoku is known as elbaf swordsmanship tho
so u agree :zorothink:

 

[Peroroncino]

A swordsman can choose when to cut and when not to cut.
Also it cut the railgun

 

[ShadowStyle369]

Personally no

How do u come to that conclusion with what the manga told us is the pinnacle of swordsmanship?

This feat is the pinnacle of swordsmanship…

Utilization of advCoA, AdvCoC, F.S. and the technique to not cut and cut.

Swordsmanship 101.

 

[ShadyOjiro]

...the railgun was chopped in two ....
Definitely a cutting attack.

Now such not cutting the body is typical of shonen.

I agree after seeing it twice it just makes sense especially seeing everything from shanks

 

[Celestial D. Dragon]

That's because it's coated in CoC. The same reason why Luffys attacks didn't touch Kaido, but was causing massive damage.

Could also be the case where the will of the swordsman comes to play… I want to cut the weapon in half but not Kidd could also just be shonen logic and I’m reaching lol

 

[uyuu]

Despite not everyone agreeing on the reason as to why can we agree devine departure didn't cut oden or kid?

Yea it doesnt mainly cut, it mainly give crushing / explosion damage. Shanks cut is rough around the edges, the Railgun was shattered to pieces at the spot of impact instead of sliced. So yeah Shanks is just an okay swordsman it seems
