Being born with conqueror’s haki, being born a member of the CD warrior family, being raised on the pirate king’s ship, being given an endless supply of chocolate as a child, being made to like Jesus in Film Red, and most importantly, having literally no character flaws.

It’s not the fact that Shanks is powerful that makes him a Gary Stu. I never said that.

What are Shanks’ character flaws again?
Buggy also was on Roger's ship. Like being on Roger's ship as a child helped him in the future, where he was powering up by fighting the likes of Mihawk and gathering his own crew.

And how is being born a conqueror a big deal? The people at the top all are.

Whitebeard also is a conqueror, one that ate the strongest paramecia for free as well. And what are Whitebeard's flaws as opposed to Shanks' flawlessness?

Whitebeard’s are obvious to anyone that can read even slightly critically. I’m still waiting for you to tell me Shanks flaws, I would expect someone with a Shanks pfp to have a mental list.

List goes by

Whitebeard > Teach > Big Mom > Buggy > Kaido > Shanks > Luffy

Maybe Buggy better written than Big Mom?

People forget that Big Mom was well written at WCI but also destroyed at same arc and the next one.

His character design. He's not drawn to look hot or like some model.

Usually gary stues are drawn to be handsome so WB doesn't even pass the initial test.
No WB’s flaw which is literally explicitly highlighted is also main positive trait which is his love for his sons.

He literally started a war for Ace that destroyed his crew.

It’s not that hard to grasp

Yeah Big Mom and Kaido are definitely better than Luffy.
L opinion as always.

What an incredible character Kaido was.Four hundred chapters of buildup, from all the way back to Punk Hazard, just for Oda to give him 4 pages of uninteresting generic backstory.
He literally put more effort into writing Senor Pink and that is by no means an exaggeration.

Big Mom for sure. Having more panels of a character doesn't make him better written. Luffy is stupid as character(not saying that it is his trait). He has no depth in his character. He is as shallow as his 1000-1009 punches were on Kaido.
Kaido is ass character but still better written than Luffy.

Shanks is a well written Yonko.

Shanks is the antihesis to what a Celestial Dragon is despite by all means being a “god”. He’s willing to get humiliated and laughed at (i.e. Higuma spills booze on him) whereas the Celestial Dragons are all about pride, looking down on others, and projecting an image of being “gods”. He also uses his overwhelming strength to protect those that cannot defend themselves (i.e. his fleet) instead of sitting at the top of the world and watching others suffer. He also views himself as equal to most people and would happily sit in a tiny bar in the East Blue and drink cheap booze with his mates and a village boy rather than living in luxury atop the Red Line.

He is one of the most human characters despite being a “god” by virtue of his birth, which means that he becomes living evidence that Celestial Dragons are as human as the rest of us. It really shows what impact Roger had on him and how nurture trumps nature, and he’s an example of how the Celestial Dragons could choose to be good people if given the right upbringing.

You all haters just fail to see that.

so your hating a character that has barely any page time less as a adult and saying he has no flaws from a character we barely see and not knowing why he dooes choose to do certain actions,So you calling shanks a gary stu because lack of page time shanks has been in just wait, why do people love pre judging characters/story points before knowing all of the context/seeinf future events is it so hard.
Shanks is a celestial dragon so it's irrelevant to give him any credit.
Just facts
that's just guessing that his only were he is because his it's stupid to hate a character because of head cannon
