Everyone: Swordplay is not about pure strength. Zoro: Ichi gorilla. Ni gorilla.

a man who showed us how high the mountain is back in the early one piece days, and continues to show how far up the summit still is

Daddy Mihawk is Yonkou level no cap.

Everytime he draws his sword, a baddass scene follows

If Mihawk formed a crew with them monkeys on his island 🌴 he would be an emperor😭😭

I just look at it this way. Mihawk casually travels on a damn near plank of wood around the fucking world. Meaning he’s definitely encountered Sea Kings and has also traveled into Yonko territories at some point. He’s protected that small as little plank from huge ass talking fish and Yonko crews/commanders. This man is actually insane.

Mihawk has been one of the most underrated characters for years. I remember 5-10 years ago people would trash him constantly, saying Jozu and Vista are stronger than him lol.

Mihawk Garp Boa Hancock All get underestimated by fans trying to powerscale.

I love one piece....I have been watching since I was in second grade...I'm 25 now...I remember seeing Zoro fight mihawk during the baratie arc....I always wanted to know what he could really do since I was in second grade.....I have friends who I've known since second grade who now have kids who are in second grade...and I still really know nothing about mihawk ...Oda and his great pacing lol

I can't get enough of these mihawk scaling vids lol

I believe that Mihawk is Yonko level, he is basically a Yonko without a Yonko crew or a large territory. The path to becoming the strongest swordsman simply requires an individual to improve their swordsmanship to a great level while the path to becoming the Pirate King requires more influence, support and teamwork. That is why becoming the Pirate King is harder than defeating Mihawk. Just my opinion based on what is currently known.

Lets not forget Mihawk has NEVER named any attack he dished out. All of his attacks were casual slashes. Think about it. How OP is Mihawk if he goes full out.

Lol even with the limited info given and seeing every single MIhawk power scaling video. I cannot get enough of them. Like pretty much all of them is similar because we only know so much. Still it’s very exciting to discuss. Still one of the most mysterious characters in the series.

The fact that he's nicknamed Hawk Eye might truly have to do with crazy observation haki. Plus his armament is obviously on a league of it's own.

This is probably one of the most thought out theory videos i have ever seen.. No wonder i have been subscribed to this channel for over 5 Years!! Great Job !! Keep em coming..🔥🔥🔥

Luffy didn't use futuresight at Marineford. He used the intent-based form of Observation Haki we'd seen from people like Enel previously.

When Luffy becomes Pirate King, Zoro will be Yonko Level. Argue with me.

This is easily probably the most informative analysis of Mihawk’s power especially the thing about Jozu slash. Easily one of if not the best video on Mihawk. Great job Sawyer.

Best Mihawk vid I've seen so far. Great job, Sawyer!

16:07 is probably the exact reason I personally believe MIhawk either has the best observation Haki in the series or at least top 5. The man is always calm,level headed and never flustered.

Sawyer savings us with quality content in off weeks is like a hug. Thank you so much! and stay safe people.

I think the best way to scale Mihawk at this moment is to look at him portrayal-wise. He looked almost as if he was bored at Marineford, despite it being filled with top tier people. The funny thing is that he had the same expression like the admirals. Cold and calm. So needless to say that he should be admiral level.

Why vista did move to 4 yonko commander???SBS VOLUME 59:All the 16 commanders despite numbers and ages have the same rank.All the same.are split in 16 groups and the division number does not indicate strength!TOP 3 in strength: marco-jozu-vista

The fact that Mihawk can use a sword of that size and heaviness so casually and easy should tell Everyone the type of monster he is. The dude is a physical monster,people don’t talk about that too much.

Sawyer you a cool ass dude b, I've been watching you for a while. Keep striving!💯

Sawyer talking about the Goat himself.

Check out the MarineFord panel right after he slashed that giant ice wave and take a look at this arms/wrists placement. Only a god tier Swordsman would be able to pull that off with this form lol

Great analysis!...Your topic vids are my favorite.

Until it is explicitly shown, I will always believe that he can at least match a Yonko. He might not beat them but he’ll damn sure give them a run for their money.

Im one of the guys who thinks he’s a yonko level, given he has fought on par woth shanks. I think the only thing that keeps him away from being a yonko is the fact that he doesnt have a crew or territories and he was a warlord.

Well done on the perspective, made so much sense and I finally can comprehend the Power Scaling to Mihawk (till proven otherwise) BEST Mihawk analysis I've seen thus far.

Ty for another nice discussion video!

Doflamingo is one to talk, he might as well had a bucket of popcorn with him while the whole war was unfolding

I'm so glad you brought up the point of Mihawk not aiming for Jozu. So many people use that as a negative feat, but its so obvious if you spend any amount of time thinking about it, that diamond has its own way of being cut, just like steel. I personally put Mihawk at Yonkou level. Not all Yonkous need to be considered equal. I also believe Whitebeard, even in old age and being sick, was the strongest Yonkou during Marineford. So I would put old, sick, Whitebeard above both Shanks and Mihawk. As of Marineford: Whitebeard > Mihawk, Shanks, Kaidou, Big Mom > Admirals > everything else. That's not any discredit to Admirals, by the way. They can hold their own 1v1 against a Yonkou (as seen in Marineford). But if it was a strictly "fair" fight 1v1, they would not win. They would lose hard difficulty.

Another awesome vid with great content

I appreciate this videos man thanks so much. I needed this today. I really enjoy discussions.

Vista didn't move as the 4th Division Commander because some (maybe all?) Divisions in Whitebeard's crew had a certain specialty. The 5th Division was the Swordsman Division, thus Vista is the 5th Division Commander as the best Swordsman on the crew. It doesn't necessarily translate to him being the 4th-5th strongest guy on the crew.

The man have not one single notable scar . Is the world strongest swordsman in name and actuality.The man sails alone with a giant sword on his back that he uses with precision,with ease and with insane speed. Then he has the Hawkeyes. He is always casual or chilling and very very calm. Never rattled.That is all the evidence I need to know the guy is a upper echelon level character.

Amazing vid Sawyer, I admire the level of research you do for these!

Wow Sawyer, this video was amazing; I had so many revelations, ngl. You did a great job of using strong evidence to make your case.

I love how Mihawk clearly knows what true strength is, upon observing on Luffy. It's crazy why almost all of the villains in One Piece underestimates luffy which leads to their loss. I just wanna see Luffy being independent sometimes like he can be a raid boss or something.

I feel like Jozu’s durability in diamond form should be top 5 in the verse. WITHOUT Haki

Awesome vid bro

Sawyer I've been watching your videos for the better part of a decade now and I must say the quality of your reviews just keeps getting better and better.

Mihawk wonders the New World by himself, on every yonko land and territory

We literally don't know anything about mihawk besides he can casually slice glacier in half without trying That and he used to clash with shanks

This was a dope breakdown. Like really good job man

Man I love these kind of videos from u keep them coming

Too bad he couldn't cut Buggy even in full armament haki 😏😏

Luffy avoiding getting his arms cut off during MarineFord wasn’t future sight , it was common sense

Amazing video. So eye opening

You did your thing on this!

Jimbi survival Skills on a 100 took a cut from mihawk, Big Mom , and Lava boy

Ok i'v yet to watch this but, PLEASE don't let this be like KOL's on this topic. I trust you to be more level headed, Sawyer

Great video Sawyer

Hope your doing good Sawyer. Really looking forward to your content to pass the time during these weird weird times. Stay safe and keep up the great vids. 👍🏾

7:35 oda said in a sbs that wb commanders ain't ranked by strength and that vista was stronger than thatch who was the cook on the ship

The divisions of WB has NOTHING to do with strength bro...

Everything makes so much sense Man I love your work

Great video!!

I believe it was stated somewhere that Mihawk was famous for his swordskills even before Gold Rogers death. I dont know if the implication was that he was the best swordsman by then, but he certainly was a well known swordsman. And he trained relentlessly for many years to reach that point.

I wish KOL was as smart as you ;)

Great video! Great analysis of the Greatest swordsman!

Man you put your foot in it every tome(compliment) you are an amazing theorists and you draw out so much from small things like this giving good evidence and thoughts about the story keep it up man and I’ll keep watching 👍🏾🙏🏽😊

World strongest swordsman - acknowledged by the whole world,everyone knows this,is a fact. My questions are: 1.Just what type of achievements he has,in order for the whole world to acknowledge him the best? 2.Also,the dude is the only pirate without a crew,yet nobody dares to attack him? 3.He is not subordinated to anyone,same for Ryuma,to which,does this imply that the status gives you enough power to stand at the same level with yonkos, WG leaders? Being part of the schikibukai was more of a way to stop dealing with the marines,and a way for Oda to keep him under check,i believe that whatever happenned on his island with the marines coming after him,will be a big hint in just how powerfull he really is.

@12:53 Counter argument, then how did he cut the ice with the same said slash? If you can only intend a slash to cut one thing, then that slash wouldnt have done anything to Whitebeard. And if a slash can be meant to cut more than one thing, he could have easily tried again to get passed jozu (easily like people say he would) and accomplish what he was trying to the first time

Man I have been watching you for years and this has only just hit me.

Great video and analysis Sawyer!

Sawyer: mihawk first foreshadow of future vision haki. Enel and mantra: is god's knowledge a joke to you? Also, I might be wrong. Read the answers to this comment

Swordsman cutting within the rhythm of the material makes a lot sense in terms of the Jozu argument, especially now that we know more about what Koshiro’s teachings meant during Act II Wano. I always thought the scene was supposed to mean either swordsmen in general were unable to cut diamond (without haki at least), or that he couldn’t indirectly cut Jozu with a flying slash, he’d have to put in actual effort. I’m surprised Mihawk aiming a casual slash at Luffy but slicing a mountain sized iceberg in half wasn’t brought up in the video, though. I feel like that feat’s kinda overlooked at times depending on whichever part of the fandom you’re interacting with.

I can watch a million mihawk videos and not be tired of it

👏SAWYER thanks for the knowledge man!!! 💯

i like how he just casually slides in that jinbe is 2nd commander level

Lets put it like this: If Zoro cannot at least high diff battle with Luffy at the end of the series, then I think Oda has failed us. Zoro's goal is strength, he wants his name to reach the heavens. There's no way we're gonna get a lukewarm sendoff to Zoro's arc after all this time. I think Mihawk's place is a man who can stand up to anyone else in the series and have a chance of beating them. I don't think there's any opponent, not even the yonko, that can low diff fight Mihawk. However, is he stronger than Kaido and Big Mom? I don't think so. Remember, as characters gain strength in One Piece, one notable feature is that their fights usually take a long time. It can get to a point where you get so strong, that your endurance in battle matters more than anything else. I see it as the winner would be whoever had a good day, and continued to be more relentless and durable. Luffy will probably surpass Roger's strength at the end of the series. No, I definitely think he will. Therefore, I think Zoro too will stand at the pinnacle of every other character. End of story Zoro would be able to battle a yonko and win, in my opinion. Not easily, but possibly.

Honestly, I dont know who you are, youtube just pops up your videos but I have to say they are pretty good. Keep it up!

Best Mihawk analysis I've watched. And I've seen them all lol

I feel like you've been saying the same thing over and over about Whitebeard's division commanders. It's stated that they are not ranked by what division commander they are. For example, Ace was the 2nd division commander only because there was an opening, NOT because he suddenly became the second strongest in the crew. Normally not worth commenting that, but this seems to be the second power-scaling theory video that has been using this misconception and it doesn't do your analysis any good.

When Mihawk said that being a pirate king is "harder than surpassing me" thats because surpassing mihawk is just a challenge of strength or combat ability. To become a pirate king is harder because there are a lot of factors to it, such as finding the poneglyphs, besting the other yonko, having a fleet and strong crew, and much more. That is why I believe that the position of pirate king does not mean to be the strongest. Don't get me wrong, the pirate king has to be strong, at least up there among the strongest in the world, but not necessarily the strongest.

You make the best One Piece vids

Great discussion video Sawyer. Best thing about no one piece chapter are these vids.

Well Rayleigh went toe to toe with Kizaru for a while I can imagine Zoro going toe to toe with a yonkou at the end of the series _if_ Luffy becomes the strongest Pirate Edit: After so many replies, this edit seems out of place. But now that I think about it, only an old experienced Rayleigh had the haki to compete with Kizaru. It would be weird to see Zoro achieve such a feat so soon with relatively low experience. (I feel the same way about Luffy awakening his DF when it possibly took much longer for even Doffy to do it and many other grizzled pirates haven't managed to awaken theirs.) Maybe we'll have another major timeskip to justify a ridiculous progression in the Strawhats' abilities, but otherwise it would only feel cheap to make the Eos characters too powerful.

Mihawk is Yonkou level, he was half of the shichibukai's power.

Another Sawyer Masterclass analysis video. Thanks 👏👏😊😊😊👏👏

This was a very good video

i think a question we need to adress bevor the "is xxx as strong as a yonko" talk is how strong is a yonko actually? and are there all equal? and like we see with the admirals fujitora and greenbull there are crazy strong guys out there who might just dont care about world politics and therefor are not yonkos even if they could potentialy be as strong as one... like more pple from rogers crew or rocks crew ore wildcards like dragon and garp and so on. So? how strong is a yonko?

15:00 that wasn't future sight though. That was Luffy being smart. The first example of future sight is probably with Kuzan.

I like it when you do more general topics rather than only chapter reviews!

Good video

Well if Zoro endgame opponent is Mihawk then he has to be atleast as strong as Prime Rayleigh because Imo Zoro will be the Rayleigh to luffys Roger and since one piece is about the new Gen surpassing the old gen,Zoro beating Mihawk and surpassing Rayleigh would make sense because Luffy will probably surpass Roger by the end of the series.

Mihawk stopped sparring with Shanks because he lost his arm. Granted, Shanks wasn't a Yonko when he still had his arm at that time but he is now. So that stands to reason that Shanks has grown in strength since becoming a Yonko. However, Mihawk refuses to fight him now because he lost his arm. One can infer that Mihawk refuses to fight Shanks because he's at a disadvantage without that left arm, most likely his dominant sword hand.

10/10 best video on hawk eye i have ever seen.

Very good explanation on Mihawk and his abilites

Mihawk can defeat everyone except the yonko and OG admirals.

My guess is that he is above the admirals but weaker that most of the yonko. This is where I also put shanks in the range of as well. Of course it's a bit hard to judge since they haven't really fought yet but I think it's where the small clues we have gotten has placed them

Good explanation on the Mihawk-Jozu-WB conundrum

Why am I just as excited to watch your video when there ISN'T a chapter as I am when there is! That's crazy

Mihawk is Yonko level. Yonko stans are the real fanboys.

EOS Zoro - still Yonkou level. No contradiction here. There are different levels to Yonkou.

When Sawyer hit you with them calm collective facts.

Great points on the principles of swordsmanship. All makes sense too
