Controversial Do we need a Shanks flashback?

[Yoho]

Question for the masses

Do you think we need a Shanks flashback? I personally don't think so


It seems we're getting Shanks entire story through other people's flashbacks

We learned where he's from, from the Roger and God Valley flashback

Rayleigh told us he and buggu where both on the crew

Garp told us he had became a yonko apart four years before the start of the story, 6 years post time skip

We learned that he became one right around the time Loki was taken down

We'll learn about his Mihawk rivalry through mihawks flashback

I bet we'll get a Shamrock or Garling flashback and see the weekend Shanks went home for Thanksgiving

Unless you wanna see him sailing the seas singing sea shanties I don't see a need for a Shanks focused flashback

How he found his crew isnt that important tbh

 

[GalaxyLevelShanks]

We will be getting it like it or not

 

[Akai2]

We don't just need it, we need it to be the longest flashback in One Piece history

 

[Bad English]

We don't just need it, we need it to be the longest flashback in One Piece history

We can get it during Loki flashback!

 

[Taolaoxitbop]

 

[Akai2]

We can get it during Loki flashback!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HOW MANY FLASHBACKS ARE GONNA GET INSIDE THE LOKI FLASHBACK

 

[ShinichiMugi]

Yes,we will have it,and a character so beloved by fans,and so important for the story,deserves one.
Remember that he is the "boy of the destiny" according to Gaban. My bet is that Roger believed he was the new Joy Boy,but then after Laugh Tale,he told him we wasnt the new Joy Boy,and thats why he cried

 

[Kumathegoat]

yes

 

[MonsterKaido]

Yes but at this point I am not sure oda will show it or not.

 

[milluki]

shanks will be the law of the final saga, maybe during luffy & shanks vs imu & garling oda will find the time for a flashback.

What kind of question is that? We talking about one of the most mysterious figures in One Piece whose importance to the plot has been stressed repeatedly by the author of the story for decades.

Yeah, we need to see this mfer's story.

I expect we will on Lodestar - where I expect Blackbeard to crash the party and kill Shanks.

well u answered it urself , we do need a shanks flashback
We are just getting it from other's perspective.

tho i think he will get a concrete backstory for himself , u can make his backstory from other's characters but it wont dive in his inner monologues u know

 

[NicoRobinIsQueen]

What do we need of his backstory besides other things that could be covered not in a backstory
Mihawk vs shanks
Loki vs shanks
How he got the scar
Him going back to mariejoise

 

[StocksInMihawk]

Yes we do need a Shanks flashback though I wouldn't mind if Oda did it through this flashback as well

I hope we at least see Shanks meeting Harald in Marjeois and Shanks v Loki

 

[centurion]

 

[Daikenki]

yes we need to see shanks doing solo sky split first, atleast in op timeline

 

[Definitivo]

Yes, and we will have it.

 

[TheKnightOfTheSea]

yeah we definitely need to. he's the "child of destiny" and tied to so many important storylines.

 

[Finalbeta]

I was hoping for a Mihawk flashback, but that is probably coming during his next fight with Zoro.
