Controversial Why do Shanks and his brother have the same haircut and facial hair even though they have very different upbringing?

[Juanpiz]

Many reasons

1- It's not a bother it's just Shanks playing both sides

2- he was ordered by the wg to style his hair and beard to look like Shanks

3- it's just genetics and that's how their hair and beard naturally grows

Only one can play Both sides

you never really see anything about the public perception of shanks except for like, this panel where the crew learns about luffy growing up with shanks and Robin reacts like she's worried/upset.

So this is a foreskinning for you? Interesting

robin is probably the most informed person on the crew. why would she sweat about shanks being mentioned right after luffy saved her from the world government?

So informed that she Never mentioned her Captain got the hat of the Pirate king

This actually happens with twins sometimes in real life when they’re adopted by different parents. They still wind up being very very similar. It’s pretty freaky

This is a good point. The only things I can really come up with:

- Its really Shanks
- His brother is purposefully trying to impersonate him

The clone/pacifista angle doesnt make sense considering the Seraphim are the pinnacle of that tech and Stussy is the first successful clone and younger (her clone is) than Shanks.

Stussy is the first successful clone, Nega-Shanks can still be a clone or Shanks a clone of him, remember Vegapunk i a perfectionist, he called momo's fruit a failure just because it was the wrong color, imagine if Shanks was supposed to be blonde like Garling or have black hair like Mihawk, but someone spilled red food hair dye into the cloning batch

We already know the standard for failure on cloning. Bakkin strongly implied Weevil is a failed clone of Whitebeard. Weevil is 35 and this person looks the same age as Shanks, who is 39, and so far looks exactly like him.

I highly doubt its cloning tech

Still wondering what the purpose of weevil was

No idea lol. Got this hype intro destroying older WB crews and then the Reverie happens and he gets offscreened by GB. No clue what he's meant to be for

 

[Bullet]

They both like this style and refuse to change it just because their annoying brother decided to copy them
Also it would be cooler for the author to have people mistake them and stuff.

 

[zzShinichi]

What if he's bald in the middle

I don’t like Evil twin plot to be honest but let’s get it straight Oda will never make Shanks evil. He was Luffy’s mentor and Oda always related himself to Shanks . Also it won’t be consistent plot wise Shanks stopped Greenbull from hurting luffy in wano and it won’t make sense he was teaming with his daddy Gorosei to scheme things up that isn’t Shanks to me .

He even dealt Kidd saga straight up when he tried entering Elva’s so he hold huge respect in their country then why would he wear a cloak .

Also carefully observe at end of egghead arc they have shown panel of everyone including Shanks and Shanks look a like in silhouette as well . So there it is Oda has already given hints he is Shanks’s cousin or twin .

Oda doesn’t have balls to make Shanks evil lol I’ll appreciate if he does it would put all Good guy image goes into tatter and he has been scheming and gaming everyone which I don’t think will happen .

 

[GalaxyLevelShanks]

There isn't a real reason. It's a children's manga. An evil twin is a common trope. That's really all there is to it. Nothing complex

Cause he is baiting us 🤷‍♂️
