Questions & Mysteries Why was Roger not WSS?

What exactly differs Roger's COC blast from Zoro's COC blast?
I didn't want to discuss because I retired myself:myman:
But I want to answer this message
If Roger's kick was similar to Zoro's, now Oden would have been cut in half...I think it's a little clear that these two shots are different

Hey you are my pal so i don't want to get into heated discussion with you but eh Roger was just holding back against Oden since it makes no sense if Roger would blast his long awaited Samurai into oblivion :pepehawk:
 

What's Roger's holding here, your non existent dick?
You're an idiot if you think the character using a sword is necessarily using a slashing technique

I can give thousands of examples of characters using swords to make elemental attacks, which are a far cry from a slashing technique:
> Big Mom's Misery: Technique she uses napoleon, but uses to manifest and channel her other elements.
> King's Omori Karyudon: Fire Dragon Technique, is also an elemental technique, not a slashing technique.
> WB meteors: WhiteBeard used his long-handled sword and coated it with meteor, not a slashing technique either.


I'm sure if I dig around, I can find other examples, but the point is: characters who use swords don't necessarily use swordmanship techniques.
 
Because characters who use CoC blasts are completely different from characters who use fencing/slashing technique.

One meets the swordman skill criteria while the other does not

Roger and Shanks don't use swordsmanship as the most important part of their arsenal, so they don't fit the criteria for "swordsman" and don't vie for that title.
First it was "They different 'cause they have CoC!" cope until Zoro got it, now it's "They different because when they use CoC with their sword swing, instead of creating a slash, it creates a BLAST!"

Jesus Christ, there's no fucking end, is it? You even randomly brought up Shanks who hasn't even done anything remotely similar.

Not that it's true for Roger to begin with. It was literally a sword attack, hell, when Vivre Card used the same panel to introduce Ace as one of the 12 top graded blades. Something super swordsmanship related.



But, of course, because Oda didn't draw Oden with a gash across his stomach, it's automatically disqualified from being a swordsman, even though it is literally out of him swinging with his sword.

Meanwhile likes of Kinemon generating fire is swordsmanship. Brook generating ice and freezing his opponents is swordsmanship.

HELL, Ikoku, something that literally does what Kamusari did to Oden is canonically stated to be swordsmanship.

But sure, it's only exception now.

Jesus Christ. At this point there will come a time where you people will start screaming "SHANKS DODGED! He dodged without using his sword! That's why he's not puRe swordsman"

Yeah the mental gymnastics are getting ridiculous af

The answer below works for you too.

The answer below works for you too.
That response has nothing to do with my reply. At least read. I never said anything that comes from sword is swordsmanship. Just that there's fuck all about Roger's slash which implies non-swordsmanship and everything that implies otherwise.

The fact you're comparing it to shitting out a gigantic flame dragon or creating DF quakes alone shows how fucked up your argument is lol

''even though it is literally out of him swinging with his sword.''

The fact that Roger is using a sword means nothing if he doesn't use cutting techniques.
If he doesn't use cutting techniques, then he doesn't fit the criteria for vying for the title of strongest swordsman.

Shanks in the movie RED, Roger vs Oden... It's very clear even from the sword profile and even aesthetic that Shanks and Roger have the same fighting style, they use CoC blasts, which is a haki technique, not a cutting technique.
The sooner you accept this, the less your frustration will be

The sooner you accept this, the less your frustration will be
  • Ignore the fact that it is literally him swinging a sword to generate an air attack that aesthetically looks no different from any other sword attack.
  • Ignore the fact that it literally does what Ikoku Sovereignty does, which is confirmed to be swordsmanship.
  • Ignore the fact that Kamusari was the panel which was used to introduce Ace as one of the 12 graded swords, something very much swordsmanship related. They could've picked any other, but according to you, they had to pick the attack irrelevant to swordsmanship.
  • Ignore the fact that Kinemon generating fire and Brook freezing people is swordsmanship, but somehow Roger is disqualified for using something that looks literally like any other swordsmanship and works literally like another swordsmanship attack.
Who told you swordsmanship is limited to cutting attacks? Because Oda sure as hell shows otherwise.

You're comparing it to fucking generating a gigantic magma-like dragon courtesy of your race out of your sword or creating a DF earthquake. Give it a rest lol
 
Because Mihawk was stronger

大海賊時代以前より頭角を現し、今や名実共に「世界一」の座に君臨し続ける、稀代の大剣豪。
"He made a name for himself before the Great Pirate Age. Now he continues to reign from his place as the Best in the World both in name and reality. He's an extremely rare ( amazing ) swordmaster."
 
@Chaves


Here, have another. Oden using a named attack with his blade yet no one is seen getting cut and reactions are same as Kamusari (blood from mouth and pushed away).

Is Oden disqualified from being a PuRE swordsman, too?

Like, you're literally agenda driving most obvious swordsmanship attacks just because King created a race-related fire dragon from his sword and WB specifically shows huge bubbles of DF around his own.

It's not even remotely, anywhere near similar. Yet Roger's attack looks and acts literally same as things that are proven swordsmanship.

But nope, doesn't fit the narrative some of you want, so gotta find some excuse.

At this point, just go and start wanking Admirals and Sanji EoS to Yonko or Yonko+ level instead, because pretending Mihawk isn't will only fuck you up in long-run.
 
Why Roger wasn't hailed as World's Worst Criminal like Dragon?

So basically CoC used with sword skills is more lethal and potent than raw CoC blast.
After all Mihawk said it in his introduction that a sword with no grace is a weak sword
 

HA001

World's Strongest Swordsman

Mihawk hit luffy with a slash that didn't cut him in half but sent him flying into a wall just like oden was.
