Gol D. Roger

ȶɦɛ քɨʀǟȶɛ ӄɨռɢ
Shanks is the mid gen Roger/Luffy. He's got no parallels with Rayleigh.

Some Roger Pirates thought Shanks is the Child of Prophecy or whatever, but he clearly isn't the one as it's Luffy. But if they thought he's the one, it must mean Shanks must've displayed that kind of potential. With that being said, it doesn't really mean Shanks surpassed Rayleigh. Rayleigh is almost comparable to Roger while Shanks cannot reach his maximum potential due to the sacrifice he's made. Shanks may have surpassed Roger at full power, but rn, it's not likely.
 
Link ?

He's the born loser. He has never accomplished anything, never won a single battle. Everything his character stands for is fake.

All he's remembered for is getting mid diffed by Gaara. Useless bum.
Idk everybody just saying shit

Ledon gave hint with girl sticking tongue out agenda piecers going cray I js need to see what went down in god valley
 
How does Rayleigh's clothes in Oden flashback look anything like Shanks?
As far as i know Oda even made Shanks copy Roger's attack from that flashback too
Even mentioned how Rayleigh couldn't do it in a sbs.
They both expose their abs, though I forgot young Rayleigh doesn't wear button up shirts. He does as an old man though. Roger is either usually completely unbuttoned or dressed super nice(old piece, before Oda changed his design)

It wasn't stated that Rayleigh doesn't know Divine departure, just that not everyone in the Roger pirates could do it(you can believe what you want about if Rayleigh can do it, who knows)

But Oda even keeps them similar in feats lol.

Rayleigh stopped Kizaru,he then had Shanks stop Akainu.

Shanks stopped Aramaki from attacking Wano, 3 chapters later Rayleigh stops Blackbeard from attacking Amazon lily

Roger said himself the person who will surpass them will be born
So clearly child of destiny and Luffy is 2 different things

There's no mid gen Roger. No one in mid gen shared his dream, which is why Shanks and Rayleigh were both shocked that Luffy had it. And Roger has no narrative relevance beyond being the PK. If there was a Mid gen Roger, then they would be PK, and Luffy would have to beat him like Zoro has to beat Mihawk.

Shanks wasn't even closer to getting the OP then Big Mom and Kaido were for most of the story.
