Speculations Interesting dialogue regarding S-hawk and Mihawk in chapter 1073
- Thread starter HellBlazer04
- Start date
Doubt it's that deep. I don't think Zoro immediately went into that clash already knowing it was specifically going to be a baby clone of a warlord, let alone Mihawk. He's just operating as if it's just a mindless weapon like a Pacifista. Then he got taken aback by the display of emotion, hence the comment. Although, it's possible he's gradually realizing it looks like Mihawk after the clash, which is why he's vocalizing his curiosity as things are settling down. Interested in how the official will handle this, though.
While reading chapter 1073 I caught this interesting dialogue regarding S-Hawk.
However there are two different translations and both have different meanings
OP Scans:
TCBScans:
The translation from OP scans basically implies that S-hawk has small traces humanity proven by the fact that s-hawk was shocked/surprised (completely diff demeanor from 1st appearance) when Zoro jumped in to block his attack. This has been an idea since the arc started that the more experience the seraphim gain the more emotions they will develop. We saw the difference in behavior of the seraphim from their first introduction till now and its clear the they're not as cold-hearted as they first seemed.
But TCB scans translation makes the dialogue seem more about Mihawk than S-hawk. Zoro notes that s-hawk is not the same as Mihawk and that S-hawk actually still has humanity. The way this dialogue is phrased its obvious that Zoro is making a direct comparison to Mihawk, but why would he imply that Mihawk has less humanity when Mihawk has been nothing but generous to him.
Is it about the strength difference, meaning that Mihawk is so strong that he would be considered inhuman even more so than a cyborg?
Or just about emotions, meaning Mihawk has complete control over his emotions when it comes to fighting?
What are your thoughts on this?
Also can any Japanese speaker confirm what the actual raws said?

Same vibes
Tbh even with Viz translation im still not sure if its simply about their personalities. From what we've seen Mihawk is not exactly heartless, but you can say that he so laser focused that he doesn't get shocked/surprised easily while fighting. I still think the human comment seems more of a strength comparison.
