Powers & Abilities Shanks vs mihawk fighting styles

#22
Different swordsmanship Shanks doesn't have his own style he inherited Rogers swordsmanship
Mihawk developed his own style perfected his haki to the peak forged a kokuto that Shanks as 39 years old still hasn't been able to achieve.

If y’all genuinely believe they have all the same powers and abilities with nothing different but the name of their blades then y’all are delusionally wrong
:kayneshrug:
Also as fans of 1 or both of them why wouldn’t you want to see them have powers unique to them. Somehow thinking oda doesn’t care enough to give them a move set special to them is crazy

Both are swordsmen with different swordsmanship same way a 5 year old can see Brook, Oden & Zoro are different.

Both will fight with one of the best hakis of all time. Both will have techniques that appear more brute and techniques where it's more skill and sometimes mix the two to a very high degree of level. Think Mihawk with his giant ass sword Oda can make him be the most complete swordsman ever until Zoro dethrones him.

They have different swordsmanship obviously which they reinforce with top tier haki. Expecting Mihawk solely rely on skills in the new world is what is delusional

What's the difference between T-Bone's Fighting Style & Zoro's One-Sword Style?

When everything else is pretty the same them having different sword styles is literally a skill based difference.
They should be more distinct from each other then mihawk cuts left to right and shanks right to left
What's the difference between T-Bone's Fighting Style & Zoro's One-Sword Style?
Sword style. T bone having more angular flying slashes and zoro’s being round

Mihawk and shanks should be more distinct than that

At the very least in mihawks case why would you not want yoru to be a super strong blade with buffs to match or what do you have against his eyes giving him some cool abilities? If not then why not get exited about those possibilities instead of wanting to have him fight as boring as possible

Do y’all genuinely not care for mihawk enough to the point he gets any abilities unique to himself? Or is it y’all are so self conscious about the whole swordman topic that you want their to be no differences

What Abilities? lol
They just gonna have different moves, but at the end of the day, They are Sword Attacks just like every Swordsman we've seen before
If Shanks & Mihawk fought, it would be no different than Zoro vs Zombie Ryuma Duel, just on a much bigger Scale
What Abilities are you talking about? Please list me some, give me examples we've seen before
 
#32
Mihawk won't have a conventional style. The way Oda depicted him with the way he holds the sword and this attack have morphed a different image to me about his fighting style
. Plus if he actually fights Zoro ,Oda will have to make a new fighting style unique to him,to differentiate him from the rest of the bunch.

The reason Oda doesn't make a lot of non Df swordsmen is because he can't come with a lot of different fighting styles and to not have them be each be a copycat of another.

The 2 most distinct things that stand out when it comes to mihawk is his blade and eyes. His 2 most distinct features should be highlighted when it comes to they way he fights

Shanks is essentially mini Roger with their most distinct abilities being haki related. Them both likely having future sight and penetration armament like luffy. Possibly even other so far unknown advanced abilities

I’m not arguing as to whether or not shanks is a swordsman. I’m arguing for them having different powers from each other

Why would mihawks powers not be haki related
 
#36
Not about who’s stronger or what it means to be a swordsman. Just how do you think they each fight since they obviously aren’t carbon copies of each other. What makes them unique from the other?


Imo
  • Shanks focusing on advanced forms of haki. Pretty much all the ones luffy has but better aka future sight and penetration armament
    • I don’t really subscribe to the idea but I have once saw a theory that shanks (along with his commander) having weapons that are devil fruits too make them more unique
  • Mihawk focusing on powers related to his blade and eyes.
    • He’s the only current character we know of wielding a supreme grade blade a black one at that. So hopefully gives him lots of bonuses for mastering
    • His eyes are weird so they probably do something abnormal
They are both one sword style and haki users.

We already have some information about Mihawk's style. He has the perfect balance of mighty blade and gentle blade style. To simply put it, his offensive power is just as good as his defensive power. His black blade allows him to use that power to the fullest giving him the strongest offensive and defensive power in the manga.

I asked you to give me Examples of Swordsmen showing Abilities previously, so please tell me.
The Most Distinct things about Mihawk aren't his Sword & Eyes, these are simply the visible ones, We know nothing about Mihawk's Power

I've seen Shanks Signature Attack, i've seen his Observation Haki, i've seen who He learn his Sword-Style from, i've seen his Haoshoku Haki.
I don't know who Trained Mihawk or where does He even come from, i don't know his Signature Attack, i haven't seen him use Advanced CoO or CoA, i haven't seen him use CoC, i haven't seen him fight Serious/Angry ... etc

So i dunno how you concluded that his Blade & Eyes are most distinct features about his Fighting Styles, that's like saying Shanks Scar & his Red-Hair & Sword are most distinct features about his Fighting Style (Assuming We never seen what i mentioned above)

Haki is not an Ability, it's part of Swordsmanship, if Mihawk can't counter Shanks Future Sight with his own then He isn't WSS, if Mihawk's CoA is Weaker than Shanks then He can't Defeat him, if He can't counter Shanks CoC with his own then He isn't WSS either ... etc

Did Mihawk teach Zoro about Eyes? Did He teach him how to forge Black Blades? Did He even teach him what Meito are? Nope.
He only taught him Haki, just learning CoA made Zoro's Signature Attack change from Oni Giri to Purgatory Oni Giri. Literally same Move, but with Haki, it became much Stronger that it deserved an Updated Name (Similar to Gigante Pistol becoming Elephant Gun).

Both Shanks & Mihawk are Haki Masters & Users of One-Sword Style (Different Techniques ofc) & Physical Monsters.
What other Abilities you mean? I ask you again to give me Examples

They could be I just don’t think it has to be in the exact same way as shanks
They are both one sword style and haki users.

His black blade allows him to use that power to the fullest giving him the strongest offensive and defensive power in the manga.
And they can still have different powers from each other…


We also know meitos grant the user special boost/abilities when mastered with mihawk having one of the strongest. So yoru should be highlighted outside of its strong because mihawk uses it.
Even if we compare it to an inferior black blade like Shusui we know that it was able to significantly increase zoro’s attack power. Yoru should be able to do at the very least the same for mihawk
