Powers & Abilities Shanks' fighting style explained.

[Albino 👑]

Swordsmen

Crazy right?

Maybe but we do know just having and using a sword doesn't automatically make you a swordsman. So as of now its still on the table tbh

well if you think so thats also fine
i dont think we will get a lot more insight into roger's
maybe shanks tho

Id be so disappointed if we didn't get to learn more about rogers fighting style lol. The dude that had whitebeard as a rival and past pirate king.
Tho i do think it might be a lot like shanks so we might find out then if ever

However mihawk fights im sure its gonna be interesting. Oda's definitely intentionality wanting us to question and wonder how exactly he do fight

Mihawk is just the peak of swordsmanship so he doesn't really have to be anything that crazy tbh
And oda legit answered an sbs question purposely to make people question shanks's fighting style

Oda definitely wants us to question it
"D: What's the name of Red-Haired Shanks's sword? -P.N. Kooshi

O: Apparently it's called ''Griffon''. We've known Shanks ever since the very first chapter, but how does he actually fight?"

Oda said that years ago and said it in a joking manner

For over 30 years of his life from his youngest to oldest appearance in this manga shanks has a sword
Odas given him a named sword that will deffo be a supreme grade
Oda made him a rival and have duels with mihawk another swordsman
Everything shanks does is with his sword
Has it as a kid
Faces wb with his sword as a kid with buggy
Duels mihawk with a sword
Reaches for his sword against ace
Stated when his coc isn't enough he reaches for his sword
Clashes with wb with his sword
Blocks akainu with his sword
Challenges marineford with his sword
Coc coa any haki has never not gone hand in hand with swordsmanship

So stop the sad cope

In what way did he say it in a jokin manner 🗿
Could he be a basic swordsman yeah but he can also not be. Until we actually see him actually fighting we wont know. Theres a bunch of characters that have used swords for years and even def that are likely still not considered swordsman but either way we just gotta wait and see

We've seen Roger fight yet you're saying the same bullshit.

Not really
We've seen him do one attack and then clash with whitebeard who never used his fruit on panel during their lil fight

Hes got more named moves with a sword than mihawk.
Cope

 

[Albino 👑]

Cope

Im pretty sure he has more named moves than whitebeard too lol
Weve still seen more of his and mihawk's fighting style

 

[Zowo]

I give you a hint on how shsnks fight
Like this man

 

[Finalbeta]

I bet he learned from Roger / Rayleigh

 

[Punk Rotten]

It still seems people leverage this debate for subliminal agendas:

Shanks and Roger are swordsman so therefore if Mihawk is best swordsman than he’s stronger than both. Soooo that means Zoro is on par or stronger than Luffy!

And the other way around from the other fan bases. It’s getting tired.

Stop with the absolutes, the top dogs of the series it all seems relatively interchangeable who’s stronger than who.

 

[Finalbeta]

You guys think that Shanks' CoA cannot compare to his CoC?

I totally bet so

 

[L55]

Shanks fighting style is around CoC same as Roger

 

[Red Admiral]

but both of them can do more than this

 

[yorosenpai]

godhaki style got copied by Zoro too
It look like Zoro the prodiji is taking aways the best of the best to become the new godtier swordman.
In 1 week learn how to cut all type of flames
in 20 minutes learn how to use godhaki advcoc like shanks

 

[Peroroncino]

Confirmed swordsman by Oda himself:cheers:

 

[L55]

but both of them can do more than this

Zoro can to

 

[Red Admiral]

Zoro can to

in fact ... I think maybe ... I'm not sure what it is ... but I'm open to the idea of Zoro doing it ... not now tho

 

[Finalbeta]

Confirmed swordsman by Oda himself:cheers:

To think even Law was IIRC

 

[Akagami Law]

The whole creation of the topic is based on obsessive bias and its stupidity exceed Zoro's lack of orientation

 

[BerserkerLord3000]

Imagine if all this hype, theories, etc. just for shanks to be another guy with haki swinging his sword like any basic swordsman.
