Why Shanks VS Mihawk Isn’t Close

Tai learned shanks Shanks is proficient in hockey Vista Vista and jozu scaled a mihawk crocodile crocodile enter yo who is that hello wagonoa no I'm just kidding it's me back for another video here to talk about the fifth strongest swordsman in all in one piece versus versus the yonko uh who's relative to the strongest swordsman Vista we are here to talk mihawk vs Shanks Ty learned you did this video year ago yeah but that I'm better now it's fine and we got Arrow here we gotta talk about this topic there's a lot more to talk about now I think to start off I want to just mainly talk about Shanks of scaling because a lot of people think I'm just a mihawk and I don't like Shanks I don't like Shanks as much as mihawk I think mihawk is cooler but I'm not biased nor is aeroflame and so we are going to be giving the best estimation of their power and no low balls no downplaying no nothing and I will say in my last video talking about Shanks versus mihawk I didn't really put too much respect on shanks's name and so on this video I will attempt to do so and obviously with me here I have my go Arrow flame say what's up man hello everyone uh it's your boy Arrow flame back again rising from the grave in order to once again talk about another topic that I think is interesting actually more interesting than the last one we talked about no shade to anybody um but today we're going to be talking about mihawk versus Shanks we wanted to talk about this because this is one of the weird sort of scaling chains in one piece because neither of them really have tons and tons of Feats yet there's the the constant joke in the community about you know shank stocks mihawk stocks Dragon stocks you know what I mean in in the joke kinda is true in that we're kind of just betting on how strong these people are gonna be right but we do kind of sort of have an idea of where these people stand especially in relation to each other which is kind of the thing that we're going to be going over today now Shanks should be stronger from his duel with mihawk despite losing his arms since you know he still considers to be a rival to mihawk and a lot of time has passed and as we all know Shanks is a master swordsman and is proficient in all types of hockey including Advanced conquerors shown against kid in terms of Feats Shanks doesn't really have much but the Feats he does perform are pretty wild he's able to clash with a healthier white bearded Whitebeard who is on meds and has his oxygen thing and is surrounded by nurses keeping him healthy making him way stronger than in comparison to the white beard at Marine Ford and speaking of green Ford before Shanks arrives and makes Akainu who's literally magma sweat he also makes kaido Retreat who is trying to intervene at marineford Shanks doesn't have too many Feats in the series but the Feats again speak for themselves and of course we have his conquerors Hockey being super crazy you know scaring the likes of fraudible um and yeah he's also a hockey man I guess like that's really all there is two shanks now let's talk about mihawk because a lot of this video is just mainly talking about his scaling and the controversy behind it because a lot of people within the community think he's not even like top 15 in the verse there's a lot a lot a lot of contention about what the world's strongest swordsman means it's nuanced in many different ways right the idea of what does it mean to be the world's strongest swordsman and the fact that we don't really know when mihawk attained the title of world's strongest swords but here's a few things that we do know about Swordsmen one we have a general idea of who Oda thinks is a swordman he's done a lot of spreads and in a lot of these spreads that show all of the Swordsmen in one piece they very explicitly show Shanks on them so we know that Shanks is considered a swordsman when talked about in the idea of who is the world's strongest swordsman but for a long long time people thought that that was nebulous in that we didn't really know how powerful he was in that regard as Ty mentioned earlier he's shown to have this sword skill and the power to be able to clash with Whitebeard and split this guy he is also able to one shot kid and even in the Marine Fort Arc the thing that he uses to block akinu's attack was a sword even if you want to say you know all of those instances were Shanks holding back right like he's only using his sword because he doesn't need to use whatever hockey susano that he can bust out at any point it still lends to the fact that his go-to is to just pull out Griffin and start slinging that thing around unless we're gonna say that he's not even trying in his clash with Whitebeard and splitting the sky in which case if you think Shanks is that strong I mean video over me and Ty can pack it up uh and call it a day you know what I mean so ultimately uh you just end up with the conclusion that shanks's swords and when they're speaking in the idea of world's strongest swordsman it has to be talking about Shanks until something comes up where Shanks is making hockey Ki blasts or the hakihamiha the only thing we have to go off of and the thing that Oda seems to be asserting is that Shanks is a swordsman and mihok is his Superior the next thing that we're gonna kind of touch on and this one's also going to be a little little sticky uh is the idea of Swords sword grades how powerful swords are and black blades now I said a lot of words there calm down don't worry I'm gonna go through all of them so in one piece you know uh not to be the one piece historian or anything here uh but we know that swords hat can be forged in different levels in one piece uh swords are pretty much divided into classes or grades as they're called you have uh just ungraded blades like just regular that people are stabbing people with bottom of the barrel Jim Jim Flanders uh Privateer on the marine Vessel is going to be wielding right after that you have grade blades they're higher class blades you know forged well and a lot of them usually have uh names they'll give names to them but they're they're not really legendary blades they're swords that are forged by decent Swordsmen or rather they're swords that are forged by a pretty decent blacksmith you know they might be some random hobo dudes uh uh family heirloom in the case of sandai kitetsu that Zoro gets from that you know bum store owner or tashigi sword they might be good swords but they're not really the the creme de La Creme this accounts for 99 of the swords in one piece crazily enough uh because every other sword is going to be in the last three remaining classes and the first class of that is the 50 skillful grade blades or the Rio was a mono blade these blades are of a higher quality and these 50 blades are going to be a greater standard of quality than all of the blades below it they're stronger they're sharper they're more durable and they're more lightweight in order to assist The Swordsman in their Duty so the next thing that we're going to go into is the 21 great grade blades or the oh wazzamono blades these are pretty much just The Next Step Above we sort of see the difference between these blades especially and the best idea of the difference is the fact that the cursed blade from before the 50 skillful blade or the Rio the sandai kitetsu is replaced by shusui ryuna's blade that's given to Zorro and the moment that Zoro begins using that blade noticeably he begins using that blade in the vast majority of his single sword techniques so when Zorro is using a different sort of power when he's supposed to be depicted as growing stronger he begins using a stronger greatest sword because that's simply the superior Blade the difference between Ryo wasimono and oazamono is once again another degree of power here these swords are more powerful they have greater balance and a lot of the time they usually have some stinky stank to him and that's pretty much up the line until you get to the Supreme great blades Supreme gray blades are the greatest weapons in one piece that includes yoru Ace which is Goldie Rogers Blade the murakumar giri which is new gates blade and the shodai kitetsu which was kitetsu's Blade the main thing that's important to note about this is that there's a guidebook that sort of goes in into the different bleeds it explicitly states that the moro kumogiri can take the full force of white beard attack potency now in the scan it explicitly shows a prime Whitebeard um and then in the very same page like just a little bit down on the page it shows yoru and it states that this is known to be the strongest blade in all of One Piece the strongest Black Blade black blades are we don't know what makes a Black Blade yet but what we do know is that black blades are superior to all other blades in their category yoru is referred to as the strongest Black Blade like I said in the last video gotta take this for what you will uh but it does sort of imply that yoru is just one of the most powerful weapons within the verse referring to blades at least and it should be considered on the level of the top tier goats right it's explicitly naming the same breath as a weapon that could take white beards full AP to whatever degree that means regardless this should at least debunk the whole mihawk is more skilled argument because the title of strongest swordsman is stated to not just be through skill but through actual power and has the stats to back it up basically is what I'm saying the usual next argument a shank show would make is saying Shanks has better showings and this is mainly due to the fact that there's a translation of mihawk claiming he's not holding back on Luffy and we see Luffy and Gear 2 reacting to him along with the likes of crocodile intercepting him and to that I have to say firstly the statement of mihawk not holding back is a mistranslation and the most consistent one is him apologizing to Shanks and he says that he won't be so modest looking at the kanji as well it's more so implied that he's regretting his decision and having to put Luffy down not necessarily him just going straight up on site with him also Luffy legit wanted to run away from bro and didn't actually do anything to mihok and crocodile himself has been stated to tap into his true power at marineford and even tanked a hit from jozu and clash with doflamango so crocodile and Marine Ford might unironically just be a built different beast but to be honest Crocs feed against mihawk is a really too impressive since mihawk is like trying to cut Luffy and then Croc intercepts him and also earlier in the arc crocodile got blitzed by Luffy and Gear 2 so like what do you say to that and the other anti-feet that I wanted to lastly talk about are the Vista and josu Feats firstly we have to talk about the Josie feet since this is super easy to debunk not only do we know in one piece when cutting something Swordsmen are specifically intending to cut that one thing which is why they use the term the same power used to cut a leaf can be used to cut steel it's just up to the user I'd probably bash that but you get the point basically mihawk is trying to cut Whitebeard specifically and josu stopping it isn't really an anti-feet because that attack is for Whitebeard we also know his slashes are easier to deflect as shown with Mr one being able to block one and then getting one shot literally in the panel after so overall this Joseph feed is not very good and as for Vista while on the we literally see lines indicating Vista shaking from their clash and then dips right after so I don't get what's the like problem here at best he has swordsmanship kind of close to mihawk but miyak is still the Undisputed number one so he isn't above him and if anything wouldn't him scaling to mihawk mean he has better swordsmanship than Shanks not let me stop the quote-unquote anti-feet for mihawk at marineford are literally people taking things out of context uh and then the last little you know totally wink it's not a huge point but it is something interesting it's like the sprinkles as you know it's like the sprinkles though the the cherry on top the whipped cream uh mihawk also has the highest Bounty of any single individual without holding any land territory or having a crew uh meaning that it's most likely that he's the only bounty in the entire series that is given solely because of someone's raw power that is in the billions I wanted to leave this argument here right because there's a lot of people in my comments who get mad at me when I say Bounty doesn't matter I have to say that I am technically wrong because bounties do kind of matter like your power does play some type of role into bounties but it's also again your territory your land your crew your reputation mihawk doesn't have any of that his only reputation is being the strongest that's why I wanted to leave this argument so I don't want to read a comment saying oh it's I learned you don't want to give anell credit for having a 300 million Bounty but now you're giving credit to mihawk like bro mihawk's only thing is that he's just the strongest swordsman and his Bounty is over 3 billion it's literally with the yonkos and for those who want to cope and be like well mihawk and Shanks are Rivals they have to be equal to each other they do not have to be equal they can be relative to one another but mihok is still above Shanks clearly being Rivals doesn't mean that the two of them are you know exactly a one to one I think about Naruto and Sasuke where Sasuke had to absorb the power of 8bijou before he was able to clash with Naruto or even and I hate to say this y'all know I'm a Vegeta Stan Goku and Vegeta throughout all of Dragon Ball Z where Vegeta and Goku had that heartfelt we're Rivals you know we only understand each other and Goku is hiding a Super Saiyan 3 transformation in his back pocket the entire time in fact some people consider kid and Luffy Rivals are we gonna say that the Luffy and kid are relative to each other I don't think so saying that their Rivals doesn't mean anything at best Shanks is just relative to mihawk that doesn't contradict anything we're not saying that it wouldn't be a close fight we're just saying that mihawk would slap
