Mihawk Is NOT Irrelevant - You’re Missing the Point of His Character

A lot of One Piece fans argue that Mihawk is irrelevant to the narrative, poorly written, or exists solely to be Zoro’s eventual opponent. But Mihawk’s characterization goes far beyond that. His relationship with Zoro, his philosophy of swordsmanship, his isolation, his boredom, his rivalry with Shanks, his Black Blade Yoru, his mysterious past, and his position within Cross Guild all contribute to a much larger role in the story. In this video, I break down why Mihawk’s lack of screen time does not mean a lack of narrative importance, how his character contrasts with Zoro, and why their eventual confrontation could represent much more than simply determining who is the strongest swordsman. #anime #onepiece #luffy #mihawk #manga #imu #eiichirooda #meme #memes #jjk
