Questions & Mysteries Two types of sword air slashes

#1
Has anyone notice that some of the air slashes are either visible or invisible depending on whether or not busoshoku/ryou is present with their attacks or it can just be a different type of sword skill all together. For example with mihawk:
Invisible
visible
something tells me busoshoku emission was in play for the non-visible air slashes.
This might be an example of this as well with Zoro this time.

See no visible air slash is present but only the cut has been shown it's probably different in the anime but in the manga it probably shown this way to indicate busoshoku emission/ryou is being presented.

D-d-d-did that air slash just cut a LOGIA?!?!? WTF INSANE

Yeah, no, bro.
Its visible when Oda draws it. Thats it. Thats the only metric.
The attack vs Monet was supposed to be so quick you could not see it. Nothing more to it. We were not meant to see it until it hit. It was meant to catch us off guard.
If the slash by Mihawk vs Luffy had a visible effect it would have less of a shock value when we finally see the ice berg being slashed so Oda chose to omit it. "omg Luffy dodged an actual life threatening slash there"
The slashes that someone faces head on have more intensity when we can see them. It looks more dangerous. A tangible threat coming cowards them.
Imagine the opposite, WB standing there watching a big old nothing coming at him. Oh the suspense!

Its visible when Oda draws it.
and why do you assume that?

The attack vs Monet was supposed to be so quick you could not see it.
no it's probably a sign of busoshoku emission coming into play. Remember mihawk can use visible and invisible air slashes

your talking how each of the each air slashes intensity and all I'm talking about is how two types of air slashes differentiate from each other.

Haki is the most obvious example. He has characters use CoA without darkening their weapons/fist
that's because they are two variations of busoshoku haki. The regular one and the hardening one which makes it more denser what it is for defense or offense.

character and object heights is another one
it all depends how the panels are drawn out.
