Damn, this is what I came back for! Hoping Oda delivers and we don’t get shafted on Mihawk’s backstory. So tired of haters saying shit like he’s just a plot device and he only exists to be defeated by Zoro. If that’s the case, why all the scenes showing his bond with Perona? Why show him sympathising with Buggy who was betrayed by his teammates? I don’t necessarily want a tragedy porn backstory like Kuma’s but something that gives context to who Mihawk is holistically - both the badassery and the apathy he’s sunk into.
This sbs has got me really intrigued of mihawks past now.
Has a grudge against the Marines
Suffered a great betrayal
Is getting tired of life
Some points that show this character has well and truly gone through the mire. And the mihawk we see now is a shell of who he was.
The interesting thing is trying to piece a timeline.
@Garp the Fist points out a lot of his story is zoros inverse
Pirate Hunter
Marine Hunter
So for kid - early teen mihawk
The Inverse would be maybe
Zoro trained vigorously
Mihawk natural talent
Let's say he had a best friend also
Maybe mihawk was essentially what kuina was to his friend ie the superior one
When zoro was saved from the marines by the person he would go on to trust the most in the world
Maybe mihawks friend betrayed him to the marines.
The interesting thing is all this needs to have happened before rogers death
As mihawk is confirmed to be a famous name when he went there (anime shows him with yoru)
Then the shanks fights start multiple duels.
Before shanks gives up his arm.
We also know they met up at least one time pre luffys story starting as mihawk already knew about luffy.
We know post shanks arm loss and finding no other worthy opponents mihawk grew tired of life and bored.
This is where his vc says he joins the warlords to sail for fun as he just wants a peaceful life.
Because the thing that he wants (a swordsman stronger than shanks) doesn't exists and is just a dream for him.
I also think he became bitter about shanks losing his arm and didn't understand why until he met luffy and zoro
He even makes a nod to shanks when zoro asks him to train him when he talks of people like him only do that for the sake of others with a smile.
I expect mihawk real personality to come out when he fights zoro and gets pushed for the first time in decades.
Some fanarts for his birthday 🎂
