Questions & Mysteries Correct translation of the databook about Vista vs Mihawk.

@Finalbeta So do you still take data books seriously 
Vista possessing the same tier of skill as Mihawk doesn't implicate they stand on the same level when haki and the other stats are factored. This is probably the best interpretation. Another is that being on the hightest tier is a broad range despite Vista stands massively weaker. If not Mihawk's VC mentions how he is waiting for a swordmaster to surpass his rival Shanks.

It doesn't matter which translation people use they all say the same which is Vista matched Mihawk swordsmanship skills in their battle. As in that particular battle between those two during Marineford. That doesn't mean he's equal to Mihawk or on his level. It just talking about that battle.
That's no different than Zoro besting/beating Kaido in their 1v1 battle. That doesn't mean Zoro is stronger than Kaido. It just means he won the battle that we saw between those two.
Worst case scenario for Mihawk is Vista can equal a non-series Mihawk in battle while he's not even thinking about him or focus on him their battle.
Good for Vista.

databook isnt wrong
in the clash
vista did clash with mihawk evenly
its rehashing what happened
if you go further down
there is another one that insist he is the strongest above the others
that shanks swordsmanship is top level and mihawk is the world strongest .
apoo could clash with zoro and drake for a good amount of time as well and apoo could prob do more however a logical person would argue in a serious fight zoro is beating apoo handily.
these statements can be true without being mutually exclusive or a contradiction.

Also saying shanks < Mihawk (only real fact there exist)
And its saying again Vista > Shanks
What a thirdparty bullshits.
remove vista
:cheers:
Well Mihawk is waiting for a swordmaster to surpass his rival Shanks to emerge, this is what his vivre card dictates. It's easy to make 1+1 in this circumstance overall. It's extremely unlikely that he wants that not in order to challenge them deeming them as a superior fight once surpassing Shanks, or that it's merely a matter of skill and Mihawk is waiting for someone who is more skilled than Shanks despite in that instance he would lose to Shanks.
There are little doubts about Mihawk > Shanks.

Said no Databook ever. It was in the V Jump and there was written "Shanks can fight an Admiral level opponent equally.", hence he's on their Tier.
Mihawk is also on their Tier. So roughly Admiral = Shanks = Mihawk.
How do you come to that conclusion? Databook said "Mihawk awaits the day a swordsman appear who's stronger than even his rival Shanks." If anything that means Mihawk > Shanks (inside the same Tier), but nothing about Vista whatsoever.
Databooks are fully supervised by Oda and thus canon. Accept it.
Exactly. There is barely any inconsistency in Databooks. Only time there were quite many were in Databook Vivre Card intitial releases, but they all got eventually corrected.
Manga has countless of inconsistencies as well - doesent mean it isnt canon or so.

Vista being depicted on the same tier of skill as Mihawk can make sense in two scenarios. The first is that only sword skill is factored and not haki and the other usually conceived stats. The second is hightest tier simply engulfes a vast plethora of people which means that if the strongest swordsman let's say challenged the worst of that tier it would still look like spite overall.
