As title says,
And let me be more precise, it's not limited to Shanks alone, but also to many Top Tiers that Oda held their cards and didn't show much of them..
By last chapter, Luffy has acquired the technique for Advanced King's Haki.
And in combination with Ryuu (Advanced Armament) he learned from Hyo, he's now looking more promising as ever to go toe to toe with non other than Kaido... a Yonko hyped to be strongest with highest bounty... (even if he wasn't really strongest, he'd make high diff fight against any opponent including Shanks)
My point is.... When Luffy got his first upgrade in Enies Lobby, Oda still managed with Ace vs BlackBeard... and even if Ace lost that duel, it still managed to impress the fans how powerful those were...
On the other hand, we have Top Tiers like:
- Shanks
- Dragon
- Mihawk
- Greenbull
And others you put in that category who didn't even show half of their strength...
I think Oda is screwing them the more he delays their feats.... by each passing chapter, Luffy/Zoro are getting
Closer and closer to them that basically when the time Oda showcases their skills in full capacity, it will look VERY MEDIOCRE
Because we're already at that level
To me that would mark the biggest disappointment in fans...
and I feel Oda should stop dickteasing their feats and powers... he should involve them somehow even before Wano ends, if possible between the upcoming acts...
Cause otherwise, if delayed more than that, Shanks/Dragon/Mihawk are all screwed... as fans will not see them in a special way anymore!
