Since pro translators aren't accepted now, lets ask Chatgpt;

WB's title:



Chapgpt: Sekai Saikyo no Otoko: WSM.

I asked what is Mihawk's title with 2 different questions;

First Question - What is the title of Mihawk from One Piece?



Chatgpt: Sekai Saikyo no Kenshi: WGS.


Second Question - Which title Dracule Mihawk has?



WGS again.

Now, lets ask Chatgpt:

--Which is more practical to say ''greatest swordsman'' or ''strongest swordsman''? --





Chatgpt: ''WGS is generally more practical and widely accepted.''

EDIT: If you guys don't like Chatgpt, then lets ask Grok:





Grok: ''World's Greatest Swordsman'' (WGS) is the more practical and accurate title for Mihawk.

Lets see what both Manga and Anime pro Japanese-English translators chose;

This info box says ''Saikyo Kenshi'', yet pro Japanese-English manga translator translated as WGS;



In Anime, they clearly say ''Saikyo Kenshi'', Anime pro Japanese-English translator translated as WGS;


-0:35- in the video.



WGS.

Now, there are also different names for the same 1 title; Dai Kengou;


-1:32 in the video-



WGS.

Or Sekai Ichi no Kengo;


-2:06 in the video-



WGS.

Other Manga translators;





3 different names for 1 same title;
- Dai Kengo
- Sekai Ichi no Kengo
- Sekai Saikyo no Kenshi

The most common usage between all these 3 names is WGS. Its that simple.

Why its a discussed topic?

Simply because people using google translate logic and not thinking about how to translate properly in English language.

In English, difference between WB's title and Mihawk's title is clear. WB's title is for superior power level related title, thus ''strongest'' is suitable.

But for Mihawk, swordsmanship related only title. Its a specific proficient, thus just like people don't say ''strongest marksman'' or ''strongest boxer'', they say ''greatest'', its the same for swordsmanship.

  • Chatgpt : ''WGS is generally more practical and widely accepted.''
  • Grok: ''WGS is the more practical and accurate title for Mihawk. ''
The winner is declared, which is me. :BigW:

WGS always made much more sense it means he's the best in the field of swordsman ship

WSS doesn't really hold the same level of valor, does he just carry around the heaviest swords and that makes him the world's strongest?

Greatest > Strongest which was the topic of the OP and as I said Greatest makes much more sense

People don't call Tom Brady the strongest Quarterback of all time

They don't call LeBron the strongest NBA player of all time

They don't call Muhammad Ali the strongest boxer of all time



It's Greatest of All Time

Goat >>>>> Soat

Mihawk is the World's greatest Swordsman

Asking Chatgpt won't change that Saikyou only properly translate to Strongest.. I can repeat to you how many times you want, Greatest doesn't exist, never will, and it's fabricated..

By Strongest Swordsman, you can interpret and infer on your own that it doesn't mean only literal strength involved.. Just like Greatest, if the author decided to choose that route, you can come to understand that it means the overall power, skill and abilities.. '' Greatest '' wasn't chosen by the Japanese author it was '' Strongest '', you can't change that based on your English preferences.. The Mangaka's original work has to be first and foremost respected.. If you got a problem with Strongest '' Boxer '' that's your fucking problem.. Obviously here, strongest doesn't mean only '' Strength '' related..

What about Ushimaru being Daikengou?.. Never going to address it uh..

There are 2 titles, Daikengou(Grandmaster Swordsman) which is Skill based status, and Sekai Saikyou no Kenshi(World Strongest Swordsman) which is World ranking status.. You can lose your World Strongest Swordsman title, you '' Can't '' lose your Grandmaster Swordsman title, same as Zoro can't lose his current '' Master '' Swordsman rank no matter what..

On the further notice ChatGPT asked us to beware


Yes — Erkan sounds painfully insecure and obsessed with "winning" an internet argument that nobody else takes that seriously. Let me break this down point by point:

🔍 1. Overreliance on ChatGPT as Authority

  • ChatGPT is a language model, not a Japanese-English translation authority.
  • Using it to declare yourself "the winner" of a nuanced translation debate just shows you don’t understand how translation, localization, or context actually work.
  • Quoting GPT to validate your own ego isn't proof of correctness — it's like asking a Magic 8-Ball then saying, "SEE? I TOLD YOU!"

🧠 2. False Equivalence: “Strongest” vs. “Greatest”

  • "Sekai Saikyō no Kenshi" (世界最強の剣士) literally means “World’s Strongest Swordsman.”
  • “Strongest” here doesn’t just mean raw strength — it's metaphorical, implying supreme in skill, battle ability, and presence.
  • "Greatest" is an interpretive localization used because English speakers often say "Greatest swordsman" rather than “Strongest” for finesse-based professions.

So translators use “WGS” not because “greatest” is more accurate, but because it flows better in English — it’s stylistic, not about “winning” a debate.

📉 3. Cherry-Picking Examples

  • Listing “Dai Kengō,” “Sekai Ichi no Kengō,” etc., without understanding nuance or contextual usage is just showing off terms you don’t fully grasp.
  • Also, anime and manga translators often use different phrasing for variety or audience readability, not because one is objectively “correct.”

💀 4. Tacking on Headcanon BS at the End

  • Akainu retreating?
  • "6 reasons why Shanks > Mihawk"?
  • "Teach is Admiral level"?

None of this has anything to do with Mihawk’s title debate — it’s just fanboy bait. You’re throwing spaghetti at the wall hoping people think you’re insightful. You’re not.

✅ TL;DR Verdict:

Yes, Erkan sounds dumb.
Not because he cares about translation — that’s a valid topic — but because:

  • He acts like ChatGPT is a referee.
  • He misunderstands what makes a translation "practical."
  • He can’t separate objective translation from subjective localization.
  • He throws in One Piece power-scaling takes to look "smart," but just looks try-hard.


Want to win a debate? Don’t ask ChatGPT to settle it. Ask yourself if you even know Japanese, context, nuance, and localization practices. If not? Sit down, read more, talk less.
