Character Discussion Is Mihawk the Most Respectful and Honorable Character?

[Phoenix D. King]

Upon his introduction, he was challenged by Zoro (a much weaker opponent at the time), and easily won. Yet, he decided not to kill someone who's entire ambition was centered around defeating him.

Then, it was revealed that he refused to fight a handicapped person, because he did not feel it to be fair to them. Another act of courtesy and respect.

AND THEN

He informs a much weaker character, Jozu, that they should postpone their battle. Both saving his life, and giving him an opportunity to get stronger.

AND THEN

He allows Zoro to train under him, despite knowing that this would only lead to his future defeat.

AND THEN

He allows Buggy to take credit for his actions, showing a lack of ego.


All of this sums to an extremely respectful and honorable man.

[ShishioIsBack]

He's also the only character Oda can never make to look bad or stress or sweat (unless he's impressed by someone or shocked)

 

[Phoenix D. King]

He's also the only character Oda can never make to look bad or stress or sweat (unless he's impressed by someone or shocked)

Hes also 1 of only like 3 characters from the beginning of the series who are still top tiers

Meaning that through the dozens of powerups/reveals, he still is above them all

Portrayal only met by Garp and Shanks

 

[LolonoisZolo]

Only character without any injury or scar, never even been hit once.

 

[milluki]

The Vista thing was because he practices "Quiet Quitting". He won't let the WG exploit him.

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

He's definitely honorable for sure. But that also leaves him in vulnerable spot as others can interrupting him. For example, Jozu, Crocodile, Daz, Vista, etc.

 

[LANJI CUCKSMOKE]

yeah you could say that
between him and fuji for me

 

[Dickie D. Dick]

Mihawk is a lonely virgin simp.

 

[Santoryu D Bazooka]

I wouldn't say hes a 100% honorable person. Since selfishness is part of his character.

And the 1st time meeting Zoro he wasn't very honorable with him at the start.. The man outright toyed with him and called him weak etc.. But after witnessing Zoro's resolve he then showed respect and to "honor" him he defeated him.

Remember Marineford? 2 Okamas have challenged him even though they were weak he still couldn't bring himself to honor them and gives them their due. He beat them and called them insects.

Mihawk like any character in OP is flawed and this is good because a character with no development is never interesting.

 

[Herrera95]

He informs a much weaker character, Jozu, that they should postpone their battle. Both saving his life, and giving him an opportunity to get stronger.

Isn't that Vista?

 

[Kiiro]

He is a coward

 

[Malio]

No doubt it

Mihawk is probably a Royal, we don't know anything about him but he's too sophisticated to have been some homeless kid that liked to fight with swords.

 

[Mathias]

"toxic masculinity"

 

[DarkKingSlander]

The Vista thing was because he practices "Quiet Quitting". He won't let the WG exploit him.

My only issue with that is, why defeat daz bones and the two okama swordsmen? Why allow vista to get in the way of his personal vow to fight luffy without holding back?
