Character Discussion Why I hate Shanks, The Giga Gary Stu

[Starbound Beast D. Draig]

All this luxury and he still dresses as a hobo

Shanks is a Hipster confirmed

 

[Tejas]

No. The people burned Doffy and his bro alive. They were only 10 too.

Different circumstances.
Shanks became stronger than Doffy despite being younger than him

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

What did Shanks ask Roger once he came back from Laugh Tale.

And this is supposed to indicate a hardship in his life how?

???

I think we have more than enough info to say Shanks is a Gary, so I don’t give AF about the Nika bs or whatever the fuck

 

[Herrera95]

Imagine hating a character because of the backstory you made up in your mind.

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

Why did Shanks cry?

SHANKS HAD A HARD LIFE BRO HE CRIED ONCE

Different circumstances.
Shanks became stronger than Doffy despite being younger than him

Shanks also didn't get an arrow shot at his fucking eye and hung down above fire.

Imagine if Doffy was in shanks's place and vice versa. Roger training Doffy and Trebol training shanks lol.

We literally know his backstory he’s from the Figarland family, was found by Roger in a chest as an infant, and was born with bullshit dragon ball z CoC haki

Come on bruh

Then Doffy would have been Good and Shanks evil

If only Doffy had enough Gary Stu energy to wind up on the PK’s ship

Film Red is not cannon dude.

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

Film Red is not cannon dude.

But character backstories in it are. It was the same for Film Z

No it is not.

 

[Boing]

I actually came to like Shanks because the way Oda's written him since he's became more prevalent has convinced me he isn't a gary stu.

He feels like a real human bean.

 

[Mackiss]

Yes, Shanks is worst kind of person

he's evil by option

Let’s compare his backstory with every other top tier (Yonko/Admirals) in the story.

Whitebeard is an orphan that came from a war torn island that couldn’t afford the heavenly tribute.

Big Mom is literally a walking mental disaster that ate her child slaver mother.

Kaido was almost impressed into the military as a child soldier many times.

Blackbeard obviously had it rough.

Fujitora saw so much messed up stuff he blinded himself.

Greenbull literally has “double suicide”/“lover’s suicide pact” tattoo’d on his chest.

Akainu obviously had it rough.

Kizaru is shown with a broken lamp and studying in rags as a kid.

It’s implied that Aokiji had a brutal past that Garp saved him from.


And what backstory does Shanks have?
Celestial Dragon raised by the Pirate King with an endless supply of chocolate.

Literally the ultimate Gary Stue

I fucking called it
I saw this thread's title
I bet it was either Kinyagi or Lee
And I was right
Very typical thread.

Celestial Dragon raised by the Pirate King with an endless supply of chocolate.

There's always a character like this with huge privilege.

I wonder why you missed an a-hole like Aramaki.
Include him don't be shy.

 

[notAfanboy]

Only for those who understand Hindi/Urdu.

Shanks is the best character in OP, dont know what you are talking about.

WB who said his family is everything, stopped Ace from trying to save Wano. L
I can list such moments for most of these characters.
Oh, how conveniently Mihawk joined a Yonko's crew and now they are in race for OP.
Shanks is far from a Gary Stu.
I would have agreed if it was about Mihawk.
