General & Others When does a weapon become a sword and a man a swordsman?

[L57]

Again zoro has a sword style

Are you trying to argue that all weapons that can be used as swords are swords? Does that mean Whitebeard is also a swordsman because his weapon can be used as one? Not as important but Kaido can send cutting attacks with his club.

You do understand by that logic they also don’t have attack names because we haven’t heard of them

And again
I’m tired repeating myself










Kinda funny how someone could master a cursed supreme grade blade and even make it black but if it’s something like a scythe or knife it doesn’t matter to the wss title lol
Bladesman > swordsman

Is kamusari swordsmanship?

 

[Albino 👑]

Is kamusari swordsmanship?

Using a sword is swordsmanship but it doesn’t make you a swordsman
Characters like king, queen, big mom, kizaru, etc use swords and even some sword attacks yet aren’t swordsmen

Divine departure like ikoku also arent part of sword styles

 

[Rootbeer]

so sword is a subcategory of sword?

That's the problem cause a Katana is a Sword..

If you weren’t autistic you would know Whitebeards weapon and a spear isn’t a sword

In One Piece, they are considered Katana which they shouldn't be, and Katanas are Swords..

So can we conclude that Mihawk being directly called to have better sword techniques is stronger than Shanks(or it's at least logical to assume rn) until he does something that is not swordsmanship?

Which Kamusari..

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

Both??

If you believe that there are no hints in any way that Shanks is more than his sword skill sure

But pretending oda hasn’t made other characters with swords the exception and 100% won’t do the same is a bit delusional imo

Why is Shanks always shown fighting with a sword??

 

[Ven437]

All I know is BM is not a swordsman and Mihawk as of now has no special techniques to hurt her homies who can’t be hurt by haki

Also she already stomped fighters stronger than vista of the flower blade. Marco got embarrassed in 5 seconds after a single clash with her

 

[Albino 👑]

Why is Shanks always shown fighting with a sword??

Because he can

Same as big mom, king, queen, kizaru, etc

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

Because he can

Same as big mom, king, queen, kizaru, etc

But he doesn't HAVE to. And the characters you listed have been shown fighting without a sword multiple times. Why not Shanks?

[ImmaIvanoM]

Brook claims to be a swordsman

So why does a person who claim to be a swordsman fight the exact same way as people who are not swordsmen? Why does brook not have a fighting style like big mom yet he’s a swordsman?

Is “swordsman” an identity like an LGBTq identity or is it a fighting style?

 

[Zenos7]

That's the problem cause a Katana is a Sword..

Exactly, katanas are a subcategory of swords.

The shit you talking about is regarding graded weapons, which consist of swords, spears, etc.

So there is a distinction made between different bladed weapons. Not to mention thats a nobrainer anyway. . .

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

Because he can

Same as big mom, king, queen, kizaru, etc

Big mom king queen and Kizaru ARE NOT always shown fighting with a sword… What? Have you not read the manga? Has Shanks even ever kicked anyone? Punched anyone? Shot anyone?

 

[Albino 👑]

But he doesn't HAVE to. And the characters you listed have been shown fighting without a sword multiple times. Why not Shanks?

? We’ve seen shanks fight a total of .5 times in the story

This is shanks’s longest most drawn out fight in the story and all it takes is a simple punch or kick

So why does a person who claim to be a swordsman fight the exact same way as people who are not swordsmen? Why does brook not have a fighting style like big mom yet he’s a swordsman?

Same reason cabaji is a swordsman and king isn’t

Intriguing that Oda had him finish off Kidd specifically with a swordsman technique.

Big mom finishing someone with ikoku doesn’t make her one. Despite that being her go to attack same with shanks

it seems this is where the problem is

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

Big mom finishing someone with ikoku doesn’t make her one. Despite that being her go to attack same with shanks

It's not her signature attack she uses many attacks to finish many people off
Also she doesn't primarily fight with a sword like Shanks
