Shanks can’t possibly be the strongest because Gecko Moria has yet to do one push up

"Vista go handle Shanks"

It’s already stated shanks has the strongest observation haki lol just bc he only used it to see ten seconds against Kidd doesn’t mean that’s all he can see

Shanks is essentially depicted as the stand-in for Gol D. Roger. He is somewhatt the Heir and Guardian of Rogers throne. Especially in terms of skill and attack potency Shanks styled himself after the Pirate King. Narratively it makes sense to have Shanks close to but not quite at Rogers level, so that Luffy after defeating Shanks can claim the crown.

13:02 katakuri can NOT see 10 seconds into the future, never stated nor implied. 10 seconds were stated because its the longest distance we've seen. Falling to your knees doesn't take 10 seconds

shanks doubters are some of the funniest people in this community lmao. they will see him literally doing shit never before seen like its nothing every time he appears and ignore it while glazing people that literally have to leach off of him for relevance(mihawk), got sonned by him in canon(akainu and bb at mf), or straight up running away(gb). if any of those characters had one of the feats shanks did they would never downplay it

Can't understand why people are doubting Shank's dominance smh. He literally kept Kaido away from Marine Ford with his presence alone. Let that sink in

Daily reminder that Blackbeard left a scar across Shanks face while he was ON GUARD and that was before Blackbeard had the Gura Gura no Mi devilfruit and possibly even before he had the Yami Yami no Mi devilfruit.

Not gonna lie......the Mihawk victim is very powerful

The only characters I have above Shanks are Imu, Blackbeard, and Mihawk. I could also put Kaido on top because of his title, but his title has many flaws and doesn't have as much narrative importance as Mihawk's in my opinion. Zoro's entire ambition, goal, and character hinges on Mihawk's title being true. Or else Zoro will fail at achieving his dream and fulfilling his promise to Luffy and Kuina. And Imu and Blackbeard are basically Luffy's endgame opponents. And that Luffy will already have surpassed Shanks at that point.

You downplayed shanks heavily here in my opinion. Saying shanks future sight may not be that impressive when he was easily seeing double the length in the future katakuri was ever able to. Not to mention, Shanks might be top 3 in terms of speed feats in the series. Hes that guy, and the only people i can genuinely say are genuine arguments for being stronger than him are Blackbeard and Dragon. Some other wildcards are St. Garling and maybe Imu. Hes definitely lock top 5 alive though.

my GOAT 🐐🐐🗣️🗣️💯💯

I like to think that Mihawk helped Shanks out with training his arm. We know they met sometime after Shanks lost his arm and hefore Mihawk turned up with that wanted poster. It explains how Shanks got back his strength and why Mihawk is disapointed. He’s seen Shank’s current level.

Shanks can't be the strongest simply because Papazuki and Mihawk are still alive.

Mihawk: "LOL, how cute"

Shanks can't be the strongest because Mihawk still exists

The downplay of Shanks and the ridiculous interpretation of the sources is crazy

Mihawk : "Are you sure about that?"

Shanks durability stats are too low. Kaido defeats him 1v1, extreme diff.

Great video. We need one with Dragon video haha

Shanks can't be the strongest because Mihawk exists, also, IMU, potentially Akainu, Blackbeard are good candidates to be stronger than Shanks, as they've shown less feats, the stronger characters tend to show feats later on.

Mihawk : "Let me stop you right there buddy"

Btw, to expand on your shanks future sight point, katakuri in his introducation was able to perfectly retell the future that he saw to capone bege, if you count the amount of words he said and use the average speaking pace of 150 words per minute, you can estimate that katakuri saw 12-15 seconds into the future (which luffy and maybe kaido scale to) which is a whole 2-5 seconds more than shanks, and shankstards will convince you he’s the best future sight user with no evidence 😂😂😂😂😂

Hes top 3 currently and top 10 of all time

Shanks feats are Mohawk feats until Goda says "SIKE I LIED, THATS THE WRONG TITLE"

He's easily the strongest pirate in One Piece. The man got stronger and became a Yonko after losing his left arm within that 7 year stretch.

Imagine Kaido losing an arm to The Lord Of The Coast lmfao

He's not the strongest but definetly amongst the top tier as he's constantly hyped up to be on the level of characters like Kaido, Whitebeard, the other yonkos and the OG admirals. Still overrated imo as people thinks he's the strongest yonko (which he clearly isn't) or just the strongest pirate in the current era

14:58 the actual statement refers to power not to being offguarded

Cold

Shanks is obviously the strongest to me.

For sure a mihawk victim. We're about to see our glorious musketeer king neg diff the gorosei, have shanks saying 'glad I lost one arm I don't want to fight you I'd look like a rat!'

Shanks can never be the strongest, Mihawk is stated to be the worlds strongest swordsman in NAME AND ACTUALITY. and the title is in reference to combat prowess, because zoro needs to BEAT Mihawk by taking the title, and when Zoro asked for training to BEAT Mihawk, Mihawk taught him HAKI and made him physically STRONGER, FASTER, MORE SKILLED. All of which Shanks specialises in. Kaido would just slam bro too

Shanks did promise Luffy that he would challenge him when he became a great pirate and said that he would get there with Buggy. Him deciding to move happens after reading the paper where it is announced Buggy and Luffy are Yonko.

Shanks is my favorite one piece character. I love this man. I gotta say though, I doubt he is the “strongest” at least in the classical sense. His character is like Luffy imo (fitting I know). His strength comes from his ability to bring out the best in his crew. Not to say either of them are weak. I just think that their true potential would never be reached in a classic 1v1 situation.

Bro sold out

Great video!

It still blows my mind people actually think Mihawk is stronger. He gotta prove he stronger than Vista first LoL.

13:04 one question?? Wasn't it stated that katakuri only sees 5 secs into the future??

Akin to Judas betraying Jesus, you've betrayed my trust. Will be liking tho

I like the video but does Shanks really need more glaze? Shanks and Zoro are already way too glazed.

On the divine departure scaling you didn’t mention how Kids strongest attack, Damned Punk, blew up in his face point blank. That definitely did huge amounts of damage to him and should be considered when scaling divine departure.

zage happy cinco de mayo Though we see more of Dragon Shanks will always and forever be the strongest, most powerful character ever of all time in the history of One Piece #1. #2 dragon for Now. i bet shanks in Marine Ford. Would cut, slice, magma, punk and half. Pre time skip post time skip. Also, I bet Shanks can also manifest a new left arm made entirely out of HAKI. What do you guys think? he is the God of haki after all all three types of advanced forms

I legit believe that he is as strong as whitebeard and kaido. Probably stronger. Once we finally see it, everyone is going to feel so dumb downplaying him even a little bit

Shanks got some of the best feats in the story in OP so far and yet there’s still a certain fan base that downplays him 😂

Shanks is the top #1

I believe he is ,I think he's haki strong like Roger but nerfed because he lost an arm , Shanks would be pirate king if he had both arms, I believe Shanks haki increased more after the fights with Mihawk which would put him above Mihawk in an all out battle to death no rules

he definitely is!100% sure BB would cheat or do some hostage tactics to beat shanks and his crew. if marco joined shanks as support the chances of bb beating shanks is lower even if he cheats

Im terrified of what shanks could be able to do a celestial dragons son who was raiswd by the pirate king with some of the greatest haki mastery in the story he is a threat but we dont know how major

10:23 statement is just directly contradicted by him losing. Kaido has always been delusional either way

there is no world where shanks is the strongest but great vid

Great video zage he is not strongest and is a mihawk victim but are you saying young shanks is relative to or stronger than current shanks ?

shanks is a big number 2.

I view Shanks as having the potential to equal or surpass Roger, but he sacrificed that potential to save Luffy.

The fact that Shanks got clapped by Blackbeard before he had devilfruits and while on guard, and used to get farmed by Mihawk, automatically disqualifies him from being the strongest.

It’s actually not ridiculous to state that shank is possibly stronger than prime whitebeard or Roger 😂💀💀….its a new era the old era will be surpassed sooner or later

papazuki, goathawk, dragon d goat, imu nerona, and marshall j teach victim 🗣️🔥💯🙏🏽

Is this a reupload? There was a video with this exact title quite some time ago.

NOOOOO Zage don't fall for the shankstards antics Also do a video on how fodder Sanji is

In my opinion, after timeskip there was only one character that was stronger than Shanks currently alive in the verse and that was Kaido. However Shanks has to be extremely relative to Kaido because he stopped him from Marineford. Now that Kaido is gone, I think Shanks is the strongest charcter in the verse that are scale-able (with feats) not including Imu.

Can't wait when it gets confirmed Shanks >>> Mihawk

He's definitely not. Neither is Mihawk. It's Imu, BB, and Luffy at the top now.

HIT THAT LIKE

We forget about Dragon

Zage the shankstard

Great video, both Shanks and Mihawk are really interesting characters and i can't wait to learn more about them. I honestly always thought of Shanks and Mihawk as mostly equals to each other even now i know both of there fans would hang me for daring to say that but i honestly don't care that just my opinion. While i do think both of them are some of the strongest in the verse there are three characters i would personally put above them which are Dragon, Blackbeard and Imu.

About future sight you got everything wrong luffy future sight fir what we know of is only 1 second just cuz luffy knows how to use future sight doesn't mean he increased its time katakuri is 3 seconds and 7 seconds more is definitely a very big gap shanks will see more than what katakuri will in a fight and get hit easier.

NOOOO ZAGE

Talking as if shanks wasn't scared of the goat Blackbeard

As of right now, Luffy is the strongest creature and has the best feats in the verse. Until Shanks or anyone else can clap BOTH Saturn and Kizaru at the same time, and summon the other elders, they're not worth being compared to Luffy. Monkey D. Luffy >>>>>> your favorite character

Databooks don’t matter. The statement of Whitebeard Pirates being the strongest is contradictory to the Red Hair Pirates being stated to have the highest average bounty and best balance of any crew. So I think that statement was just hyperbole to remind readers the WB Pirates were no joke. I don’t think the portrayal of when the crew shows up was that they just showed up to lose. It was never stated they ended the war because they achieved their goal they (the Marines) stopped because they were intimidated. Akainu in particular was sweating buckets and Shanks has already shown he can literally low diff Admirals. Saying the WB Pirates couldn’t defeat the Marines isn’t really accurate either Whitebeard nerfed which caused a lot of issues Shanks is by far stronger than Kaido Oda just wrote himself into a corner the only explanation I can think of is he knocked Kaido into the ocean. It’s also pretty obvious what the author is trying to depict when Shanks and Green Bull it wouldn’t make a difference if he knew it was coming and what about afterwards he should be able to focus up by that logic. Jozu’s words likely just mean prepared as in strong enough as there’s no moment once in the series this was emphasized. Also you have to ask how is one not prepared for king’s in the first place? Yamato has it and he wasn’t affected by her will and it’s obvious if Luffy just shot a random blast he wouldn’t freak out

Shanks became a yonko 4 years after losing his arm Not 6 He did not become a yonko by talking and negotiating He faced a lot of foes And relearned His sword and Increased His haki Mihawk Doesn't care about him because his potential is nerfed Not his entire potential is gone Shanks can reach most of his potential But mihawk wanted the full thing to be entertained for a little while However most of his potential is still higher than everyone roger Wb kaido luffy But mihawk is above all of that

Hey, your videos sounds is always low, speak up son.

We lowkey need new one piece topics at this point. Shanks is massively overrated and needs more bodies under his belt

Bonclay>>>>>>> shanks

All things about Kaido are based on a lie. If he considers someone like Oden a top top tier, which he absolutely isn't, people like Mihawk and Shanks mid dif him. Because none in their right mind would say that Oden is nothing more than low-mid dif for Mihawk and Shanks. also Shanks being on whitebeard lvl is ridiculous? Why lmao?

Shanks may have not lost any power when you lost his arm. But his lost skills, that's why Mihawk called him a has-been.

Nah 1v1 kaido wins😂
