Questions & Mysteries Why did Mihawk switched from Katana to Yoru?

[mly90]

He stoled it from museum, so case Yoru contained strongest haki in the World, Mihawk started to use it.

I thought Mihawk was all about sword skill according to you folks why would he care about haki

 

[BillSlipton]

Does Mihawk need the "worlds strongest sword" to be "worlds strongest swordsman"? Please discuss

Yes. A swordsman is only as strong as his swords.

With each sword zoro has attained he has also mentioned an increase in attack power and ability. Due to the sword.

Well he used Katana, he learned how to make his sword black, but then he found Yoru, so there was no need to paint katana in black

 

[LolonoisZolo]

Its theorized that yoru is blacked by shanks haki. Shanks made it a black blade when he clashed with mihawk.

Shanks the non-swordsman ?

Shanks the non-swordsman ?

Yup. You need hakiman haki to blacken a blade. Thats why Rayleigh didnt have one. He didnt have a hakiman rival.

And what is this ''theory'' based on ?
''I feel that...'' ?

 

[Urouge D. Rouge]

He didnt want to be Katanaman so he became Yoruman

Its based on nothing. Fueled purely by my agenda.

one-handed weapon users peak at Roger tier. Reaching world's strongest status requires something bigger.

 

[MonsterKaido]

Its natural progression hence why

 

[Rootbeer]

Yoru was originally a katana but Mihawk permanently hardened it with thick and long CoA layers, forming Yoru in the process.

Yoru is a katana..

 

[Herrera95]

Holy shit. Guy wanted Mihawk to have Yoru since birth...

Let's ask why Zoro changed from Wooden Sword to Steel Swords too.

 

[a_fan]

Because Yoru is the strongest sword in the world.

So he wield and turn it into a black blade.

How someone living in a solo lifestyle was able to acquire Yoru out of everyone is a big mystery.

And the weird part is no one seems to be afraid of his presence unlike Yonko and admirals despite his WSS status + $3.5bn bounty.

Maybe as the name implies, he is a vampire and his race were wiped out like the Lunarian and Oni who have crazy levels of strength and durability.

Mihawk like every good character probably had his ups and downs a broke a few swords

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

That's a wooden practice sword
Besides, dont expect him to have Yoru from beginning, he probably got it during his journey to become WSS, just like Zoro keeps getting new swords

I don't think Mihawk has Yoru from the beginning either.

That sword he has a kid is probably his first sword, then he keeps gaining new swords and eventually acquiring Yoru.

Mihawk being a vampire is a popular theory for a while now.

 

[AmiralTensei]

Because Mihawk hate those shitty samurais and he's damn right.
