Questions & Mysteries What makes Shanks > Mihawk?

[spawn]

Except Roger was never called the WSS in the past so....

Was anyone called the WSS?

 

[Rivaille]

Read my above point. Nothing implies the opposite either

Yeah, the fact the author named Mihawk’s the world strongest swordsman in chapter 50.

It is like that nothing implies that Whitebeard was stronger than any other man or that Kaido is stronger than any other creature.

It s that simple the man who writes the series the author has mihawk the world strongest swordsman and shanks not
Can u fucking read?:virusprot:

Apparently you can't even read my comment, but cool. To imply he's stronger than Shanks, that would imply Shanks lost to Mihawk, which has never been stated in the manga. Implying i can't read lol

 

[Marimo_420]

To answer the question of the OP, literally nothing. Lmao.

Mihawk > Shanks is a fact

Zoro never lose to WB, so we can infer that he was\is stronger than him?

But the one who writes the manga is oda the one who has mihawk above shanks u can t read

No, and thats the point, seems like it started with Mihawk. It also just doesn't imply Mihawk > Shanks because Shanks' goals are entirely undefined and has never been implied to lose against Mihawk

There is a difference. Does Big Mom always use Napoleon? Does Whitebeard always use his Bisento? No right?

Haki mastery over your primary weapon IS the fundamental difference. I dont expect Mihawk to be able to punch mountains with his monstrous haki. I expect him to slice it and then some.

This is why I say Shanks and Mihawk are incomparible as of now. It comes down to whether or not you believe Shanks fights with more than just his sword, and I personally do. We will never see eye to eye on this unless you accept that as a possibility

There is no difference between Shanks and Mihawk, lol. Dont bring Big Mom and Whitebeard to help you, they cant.
What haki mastery? Mihawk is better than Shanks in Haki, lol. If you dont expect Mihawk to punch mountains with his monstrous haki why are you expecting that from someone who has worse haki than Mihawk?

I still dont see any reasons why you would say Shanks>Mihawk except for personal power scaling which has nothing to do with manga...
Incomparable? Too bad for you but Oda has made them comparable since always, even tipped the scale in Mihawk's favor.
You can believe that Shanks fights with whatever you want, fact is, none of those things make him superior than when he is with a sword.
Until you accept that fact, we indeed will never see eye to eye. Acting as if something is superior to a sword... lol

So wb the wsm wasnt stronger than Dave in the east blue because he never wanted to be wsm so they have different goals ?

For the same reason WB was not introduce as the WSM in Ode’s flashback.

WB was not WSM yet because of Roger. There was no swordsman who could have stolen the title from Roger, unless you wanna make up fanfic characters

wb was called wsm even before roger was the pk

Can you show me a panel of this?

 

[Paperchampion23]

Zoro never lose to WB, so we can infer that he was\is stronger than him?

What? Have they ever fought? The fuck kind of logic is that? Whitebeards title comes from his ability to stand on par with Roger. Its not a competitive title because nobody else stood on par with Roger.

Kaido's title IS competitive. "1v1, always bet on Kaido".

And my god, I've said it 50 times, I BELIEVE Mihawk is the WSS and better than Shanks, I just dont think the WSS is commensurate with the others (Pirate King, WSM, WSC, Yonko, etc). You guys alright in the head? The WSS is a SKILL related feat with swordsmanship.

The argument here has always been that Shanks can be stronger than Mihawk if there is more to him than just using his sword.

Roger was neither WSM nor WSS for all we know.

We just are aware that Buggy labeled Whitebeard as WSM and yet not Roger.

Mihawk > Shanks is a fact

In swordsmanship*

That's the only fact, there you go. Case closed. End the thread. Nothing implies overall combat prowess. If Zoro could outclass Law with pure swordsmanship, but then Law simply uses one of his broken devil fruit abilities to catch zoro off guard, I wouldn't think Law was the better swordsman then. There are combat feats that involve way more than swordsmanship there.

So why was cabaji and zoro a duel between swordsmen (for both of them) when cabaji kicked spat fire and used spinning tops to win ?

Holy shit this man has no brain

Not even remotely the same logic. WB 's title was only given to him for his status on facing Roger equally and being the man closest to one piece.

Thats it. So no, Dave wouldn't be the WSM. Again, apples to oranges

Did you read the asterisk or just fail to read that entirely?
