There is only one reason why i never compare any Character to Mihawk
That's because the guy simply appeared early in the Story, declared his Name & then disappeared for Thousand Chapter
And yet, he is among Most Discussed, Popular & Strongest Characters
There is No Character who was given such Portrayal, never
All your Favs need Feats to be relevant, need a Crew or Organization they belong to, need an Ambition, Family or Friends, a Backstory or multiple Hints at it, Devil Fruits or Haki Abilities ... etc
Did Mihawk ever bother show any Haki Ability? Did he ever hype a DF or cared about them? Does he have a Flag? A Ship? Crew? Nakama?
Does he care about Yonko or Admirals or One Piece? Was his Backstory ever Hinted at? Was he ever used for Fanservice? The answer to all of these is always "Never"
All this Guy did was appear out of nowhere, after sailing half the world on literally a Small Coffin just because he was Bored, carrying his Black Blade on his back with no explanation about it, starring with his Hawk-Like Eyes, declaring his Name & backed-up by his Introduction Box & Title. Nothing more, nothing less.
Isn't this a Story about how you need Nakama? How you need Strong Ships? How you need Powerful Crew? Story about chasing your Ambition? Showcasing your King's Haki? Surviving New World? Facing Yonko? ... etc
Why is this guy than shitting on literally every Theme of One Piece Story?
To put it more simple, all other Characters need to do something to be Hyped & become Relevant
Mihawk doesn't need anything, the World does it for him
Every time Blades are Hyped or CoO or CoA or CoC or Zoro or Shanks or Swordsmen or Samurai or SHs Dreams or Double-Layered Eyes ... etc
Mihawk is instantly Hyped without appearing or even getting mentioned.
Cuz his Design + Introduction says it all

That's the difference between us
You need the approval of Fandom Majority to Hype Shanks
The Manga does it for Mihawk, not Fandom, and he does it without even appearing
