Oda (1999 Asahi Newspaper): As the serialization goes on, fights inevitably get more bloody to entertain my audience. But thanks to Luffy's stretching ability, his fights always look "ridiculous" even in serious mode. *Oda mentioned similar stuff in Volume 65 SBS (2012).

Mihawk-fans are incomprehensible. Mihawk did nothing in the manga even though he was introduced in the Don Krieg arc. List of Mihawk's HIGHLIGHTS in the manga:

- Chases Don Krieg to East Blue and doesn't even confront him, just cuts off his boat
- Beat up a Rookie (zoro)
- Refuses to fight Shanks because he is missing an arm, even though he has become a yonkou since their last confrontation
- Cuts the ice of aokiji in Marineford
- Does not hit Whitebeard in Marineford (he is blocked by Joz)
- Wants to stop fighting Vista
- Defeats Mr One by hitting him in the back
- Gets dodged by Luffy who hasn't even developed his haki
- Vanishes when Shanks appears
- Does not try to fight Blackbeard
- Does not even train Zoro, he lets his monkeys do the job
- Goofy behavior with a girl who looks like a teenager

The only thing that makes the Mihawk-fags drool is the fact that he would have been Shanks' rival in the past when Shanks was being bullied by the Fushia Mountain Bandits and the Fushia Sea Monster.

Oda screwed up the hype around this character by making him totally passive in arcs where he would have been more active

He says he's looking for opponents worthy of his level but he sold his ass to the world government so he doesn't face any admirals, and didn't face any yonkou:

- don't fight whitebeard at MF
- Kaido doesn't even refer to him when he thinks about great fighters
- Does not fight shanks since he is a yonkou
- Don't fight Teach in Marineford when he had the chance
- No existing Big Mom vs Mihawk
- No Mihawk vs SN (except Zoro level east blue)
he "measured the distance" between him and whitebeard at marineford and whitebeard was so weak and sick and crippled that he needed to get a commander to block mihawks casual unnamed slash for him. after that moment proved there was no worth in fighting blackbeard he just kind of killed time
