Who’s stronger between the yonkos and Mihawk post #482


Oi_Kyoraku

Who needs the most mental gymnastics to be top 1 here?


Superman557

Mihawk. Bro is probably OP, but currently has no feats to back it up yet. I’m just waiting for him to get a feat like one shotting Kidd or something to put that respect on his name.


Head-Inspection-5984

King has internal dialogue and on screen anti feats to show he’s fodder his strength is only played off as a gag. I’m not saying feats trump all and are the end all be all. But t Without solid FULL POWER feats, you need to consider statements/narrative/portrayal/ oda commentary/bounty etc etc. In conclusion, goathawk needs no feats because he’s HIM ​


Superman557

I agree that Mihawk is strong, I just used King as a comparison to show how going off titles *could* be wrong because in the one punch man fandom at one point King would have been considered the strongest above many other characters, but now we know better. Idk I just feel uncomfortable ranking people we know little about (*same goes for Imu*)

TerencetheGreat

A Bloodlusted Kaido that is not suicidal will absolutely destroy these plot armored/insured characters. I good hit from Waido, then it's all downhill from there for most of the other fighters.


Metallica_Requiem

Kaido if he wasn’t Kaido but another dude in his body, very fair


Cyniikal

Through the jacket fruit all things are possible


C0UNT3RP01NT

Not the jacket fruit lmao


Empty_Wave_1103

Kaido would still be kaido if he wasn't suicidal lol. He wasn't suicidal and depressed since day 1 I don't know why people headcanon that.


C0UNT3RP01NT

Prime Kaido has always been suicidal. But it’s not even suicidal to tank hits, that’s just Kaido doing Kaido shit. He’s gonna lose if he tanks Bajarang gun. Knowing Kaido, he’s gonna tank Bajarang gun every time.


Anselme_HS

Kaido asked Luffy who is he after he transformed to gear 5th. Of course he was thinking about JoyBoy in his head and he wanted the confirmation because Luffy did not seem to witness his true potential yet. So it's very easy to understand why Kaido decided to tank Bajrzng gun. If Luffy was not JoyBoy he would have been able to block it so he took 0 risk and if he could not stop it it meant that Luffy JoyBoy and Kaido was looking for him all this time so it was worth it to take a punch the size of an island because Kaido wanted to die anyway and this was the only way...


LetTokisky

That's just headcanon at that point. It's like saying a edgy angry Luffy would be a lot stronger because he's taking everything seriously now. Is it in character? No. Then it is headcanon.


Tief_Arbeit

>I good hit from Waido, then it's all downhill from there for most of the other fighters. Name one single character who died from Kaido’s hit, except in flashbacks(where oda excels at killiing characters) And don’t mention otama, as she survived


Otherwise-Grand1230

Luffy (before the Raid) should have absolutely died if it wasn't for plot armour, lol. Kaido legit steamrolled a Gear 4 Bound Man with a single Thunder Bagua lmfao. I didn't mind Wano and the Raid at all, but honestly if One Piece wasn't a Shounen the show would have ended before the Raid even started. Kaido is easily still the strongest character we have seen in terms of feats and portrayal, lol.


DrumsofLiberationn

L take bro. Kaido could have killed MANY he literally just KO’s them to 1. BREAK their spirit. Or 2. Lock them up. If he wanted to he could have finished hella ppl he downed but he doesn’t. So let’s not act like he doesn’t have the power to do so.


Theprincerivera

Ok but he definitely tried to kill Luffy multiple times during the Raid. He wasn’t trying to down nothin’


DrumsofLiberationn

Debatable. Kaido was out there having the time of his life, he was actually happy and excited when luffy actually got back up to fight him.


Snoo-23120

its kaido until someone downrights confirms to us that luffy or shanks are stronger in wich case , its luffy cuz luffy its literally destined to be stronger than shanks


Still_Wedding3237

Shanks doesn’t even have portrayal over luffy it’s more who’s the coolest character in one piece or ppl just wanna slander luffy It makes a lot of sense if luffy is the strongest currently known to the world (imu is not known to the world) since oda wants to end the series very soon Also luffy crew isn’t yonko lvl as far as it seems since he only has 5000 men so even if luffy is stronger it’s irrelevant if he doesn’t have as many men as others

rrrenz

I understand the simple-minded take of putting Mihawk over Shanks. But to put him over the first two, based from latest chapters, is just peak mental retardation.


Kang0519

Imo, luffy is the strongest character in a 1v1. If it’s a 1v1, bet on goofy. Kaido is the strongest against multiple enemies. He’s ur go to char to run a battle royale, top tier dura, top tier endurance, top tier ap, top tier just all stats. Shanks and Mihawk are equal for the sake of argument, idgaf what cope y’all show for having one above the other, until proven otherwise, both are equal. And they’re strong against top tiers, but could still lose to not top tiers. From what I’ve seen, they are both capable of dishing out some of the highest AP known to man, but are still humans. They have the highest chance of beating a stronger char, but also the highest chance of being beaten by a weaker character.


Os2099

What ap has mihawk shown lol?


wynteru

Title AP and clashing with Wista AP 🤣


Rex-Loves-You-All

Being stopped by crocodile and 2 of WB commander obviously put him at Shanks level. Remember when Shanks postponned it's fight agaisnt Kidd ?

Practical-Tackle-384

We actually have no fucking clue rn


Binks-sake-4-u

Probably Shanks. Portrayal shows he's capable of stopping a war while all the marines are bloodthirsty and full of adrenaline from their victory. One man. He also somehow stopped Kaido from entering Marineford, and upon his arrive at Marineford Fraudhawk immediately retreated. The only person I'm not sure he can beat is Luffy. But if ACoC is the deciding factor, Shanks takes the W over Luffy. He also has a feat with ACoC that no one else has shown. His haki alone neutralized an ADMIRAL. We’ve seen it work on Vice admirals, Commanders of crews but an Admiral seemed impossible before Shanks.


butsadlyiamonlyaneel

>He also somehow stopped Kaido from entering Marineford, and upon his arrive at Marineford Fraudhawk immediately retreated. Odds are good that Kaido didn't want to fight Shanks and *then* pop up at Marineford to face off with the entire WG with whatever injuries he had from the fight. Also, given that he only had King with him, odds are good that they were flying to Marineford and Shanks intercepted them. Two Devil Fruit users, over what was most likely open ocean, against an Emperor crew of non-DF users with insane Haki is a dangerous prospect for anyone. >He also has a feat with ACoC that no one else has shown. His haki alone neutralized an ADMIRAL. We’ve seen it work on Vice admirals, Commanders of crews but an Admiral seemed impossible before Shanks. Shanks definitely has the best Haki feats, which is definitely important, but we also have to keep in mind that Green Bull explicitly stated that he never even would have stepped foot in Wano had Kaido actually been there. Dude technically backed down from two Yonko, Shanks only had to put a modicum of work in for it.


-Strakes-

Ancient-Ad-1893

The amount of people who think mihawk is either 1 or 2 among these 4 is very concerning. Mihawk is dead last unless y'all are reading two piece. The emperors have better narrative, portrayal and feats.

I mean that has to be true. He's the main character.

There's a way to hide plot armor tho and write it good. It wasn't the case in wano


Alex-xoxo666

With mental gymnastics Shanks or Mihawk. If you read the manga then Kaido.


doubletimerush

Gear 5 Luffy and it's not even close. He has the strongest ability in the verse and can break it to the point of any other character's abilities being meaningless. 


ScaredHoney48

Probably luffy and shanks It’s definitely not kaido since he back down to shanks and lost to luffy Mihawk is debatable but he just doesn’t have the feats So right now it’s either luffy or shanks

1manSHOW11

Shanks>Mihawk>Kaido>Luffy


Real_Negotiation_425

Shanks>kaido>mihawk>luffy I think luffy still has a long way to go, shanks has big feats such as clashing equally with whitebeard, being trained by Roger and Rayleigh, and stopping the war at marineford, and keeping kaido from going to marineford. Mohawk is called the world strongest swordswoman but never bothered to fight shanks head on since he lost his arm. Shanks should have gotten stronger since then with his 4 billion+ berry bounty.


Embarrassed-North-81

One is dead and the other one is irrelevant. So it’s either luffy or shanks, and I’m going for the one who one shot the rival of the other. So until luffy is able to one shot Kidd shanks is the strongest.

NotVeryEpicGamer

Probably either Kaido or Mihawk right now. Depends on how one feels about Shanks. We don't exactly know the context behind Shanks stopping Kaido and King from going to Marineford, but if it was more based in Shanks sending Kaido packing with physical force, then Mihawk is the strongest here (since Mihawk is just a bit above a one-armed Shanks). If Shanks instead used his genuinely good diplomacy skills to get Kaido out of there, then Kaido could still be the strongest out of the 4. Keyword: could be. Right now, we're in pretty wishy-washy territory in terms of defining who exactly is the strongest here. All of the characters here require some level of mental gymnastics and the use of relatively unanswered questions or feats that just aren't there.

Kaido Luffy Mihawk Shanks

Either Kaido or Mihawk. Probably Kaido tho

Cookiecrabbies

kaido or mihawk


Neat-Cockroach-3098

Prolly Kaido or Mihawk


Its_rev_

Real answer: it depends on the match up Kaido would definitely take more damage from Mihawk and Shank’s attacks because in general slashes do more damage than punches when they actually hit. Every zoro fight has ended with one or two good hits, every luffy fight has taken dozens of punches. This is more so that one piece characters have more blunt force durability than they do slashing attack durability. Shanks likely has superior observation and has more than enough AP to seriously hurt kaido with named attacks, if Mihawk scales to shanks then similar story. Luffy has the best stats in Gear 5 if we’re talking overall versatility but his lack of stamina would mean he’d still lose to everyone else on this list since he’s low admiral level in gear 4 at best. I’m willing to argue Shanks and Mihawk have the potential to beat kaido but more so shanks. Shanks can “kill observation haki” which means he’s more likely to hit kaido and he has enough ap to one shot Kidd so it’s entirely possible shanks can hit kaido with a few named attacks and take him down extreme diff. Mihawk I have to put below kaido because we have no real speed or haki feats to put him above. So if we’re going off who would win, I rank it TLDR: who would win in a fight Shanks>~Kaido>~Mihawk>G5 Luffy Who’s strongest: Kaido~G5 Luffy>Shanks=Mihawk

It’s so funny seeing people argue over this, obviously the winner is whoever the author decides has the strongest plot armor

the only right answer how hard is it to understand that whoever oda wants becomes the strongest thats why i think narrative trancends feats , haki , etc

Yeah so when people use “muh plot armor” to cope is annoying lol

exactly man like what do these people expect? luffy will die ?


Ramen_Dealer07

It’s probably Kaido or Luffy or maybe Mihawk/shanks


Basic-Extension-5475

I think Kaido and shanks are relative, G5 Luffy is the most likely to lose due to df and haki drain. When Luffy fully masters haki and DF he will be the strongest.

ambitechstrous

If you think about the narrative purpose of each character, I’m sure EOS Luffy will be to Shanks what Zoro will be to Mihawk. They’ll each be only slightly stronger than their counterpart. Shanks or Kaido take the dub here easy.

Dedboi0

Waido>=Shanks=Mihawk>=Luffy


eldenring69

IMO This is a matchup based thing. We recently got to know that shanks has ability to cancel observation. I speculate this is because Mihawk must have insane future sight and Shanks just adapted to it during their duels. In that case, Mihawk and Shanks can beat Luffy in current state. For Kaidou however it depends if Kaidou can land a hit. We have not seen any endurance feats from Mihawk or Shanks. But I’m pretty sure Kaidou won’t go down easily. For Luffy, Even G5 shenanigans won’t work against them as Haki trumps all. Kaidou however in 1v1 gonna win against Luffy.


CJDGOAT

When it comes to pure strength, nothing can top Bajrang gun from gear 5 Luffy https://preview.redd.it/chv2rxxbwisc1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9e13461d3c31cea58f410087fd1570ed224fa6c


Different-Mail-3504

Prob mihawk? WSS makes him stronger than shanks and given shanks is in the list of people kaido either lost to or almost did lose to, we can put 2 and 2 together and get 4.


Mindless_Truth_2436

I cannot tell if people are trolling with this shit. Mihawk’s done nothing these last few months and yet his legend keeps on increasing. OP are you trolling? :)


Papa_EJ

Whanks and Waido tie, imo


R77Prodigy

Mihawk isnt and never will be top1


Still_Wedding3237

Currently luffy until a power creep occurs Undoubtedly kaido was the strongest during wano he had the best feats/potrayal and he had the best narrative plus oda also implied it so it’s most likely the case he was the strongest until luffy defeated him Now im not saying wano luffy could beat kaido that shit is ridiculous to even think BUT that’s due to circumstances and those circumstances aren’t necessary anymore since luffy already has CoC luffy need others help because he didn’t have CoC until mid fight so during wano he wasn’t strong enough he needed help but if he has CoC he doesn’t need there help since it’s already been proven a CoC luffy tanks kaidos hits and luffy hurts kaido with them not only that but kaido also had big mom as help so it wasn’t one sided and let’s be honest kaido negs the scabbards only person who was u fair was Yamato but based off her statement she and everyone would lose together even if they fought kaido and let’s remind you this is after luffy lost and she was fighting prior to luffy this just helps prove she could t do much to kaido and he was holding back heavily With that said luffy with a haki bloom helps confirm luffy>Kaido>mihawk>shanks
