you have not provided a single bit of evidence in the story that would point to shanks being a final villain in this discussion.

you have quoted scenes now in the manga without applying context to it
1. the common shanks stopping kaido as a counterargument to him being the strongest pirate coming from people who ran into shanks and his crew.

undoubtedly thats the impression you give off when you use a panel wb directs at the marines and the wg to a yonko who seemed like a gorosei informant.
Bro, I'm not giving you any reasons because I literally have a sig link with 20 reasons lol.

And not "villain". Antagonist. There is a difference. I do not believe he is "evil".

I like how you only refute Shanks stopping Kaido as a counterargument, yet say nothing about the 1001 scene that i also clearly mentioned before.

And the WB literally has him talking to Blackbeard first, telling him he's "not the one" to stop the WG.

Funny thing is if you read my sig link, I made zero claims to think Shanks is some WG informant or the several other wild claims you are making about me with Shanks
 
Thanks! My first exposure to One Piece was the infamous 4kids dub! There are probably fans my age and older that do a much better job of supporting the series.
