Obviously depends on the person.

Oda does take a step back from full-on fellating Shanks at every opportunity. Maybe blasphemy to say that here, sure, but look at the facts

He’s never been said to be the World’s Strongest Man
He’s never been said to be the World’s Strongest Swordsman
He’s never been said to be the World‘s Strongest Pirate
Lowest bounty of the original Yonko
His main selling point in the big Yonko exposition chapter was his crew

Shanks is obviously one of the strongest characters in the series, definite top three of characters currently in play (barring there being god tier Imu and Gorosei) but there’s never been anything pointing to him being the strongest.

It's not what Kaidou thinks.


he wifi diffed Kaido too =Headcanon
Kaidou asserting that Shanks cannot defeat him = reality
No one in this world can defeat me = proceed to get his ass kicked by Goofy the clown

His words hold the same weight as Mont Dor's "Enraged Army can capture even Roger" or Kizaru's "I can solo both Kaido and Big Mom".

Underrated by shanks haters and overrated by shanks fan's I will say.

Shanks is one of the strongest characters of all time no doubt. He can be above Kaido too given he is oda's self insert but some shanks fans think he can low diff or mid diff characters like Kaido lol.
Shanks fans are kinda delusional tbh. They keep yapping about WiFi diff

Pure unadulterated hatred of the Marines, that’s what drug.

He injects it into his veins every night before bed….then stays awake sulking about them anyway.
:gokulaugh:
Funny enough. I actually like Fujitora, he's one of my favorites actually.

It's kinda sad you care so much about whether people like or dislike fictional characters so much.
