I did. What now? Do you want us to separate BB's crew from the folk at MF?
It has nothing to do with the folks at MF. I'm comparing the fact that Teach mocked Shanks and then left saying it wasn't time for him to fight Shanks, and then running away in terror from Akainu while saying the same thing.

Well Shanks intercepting Kaido and reaching Marineford the same day hype is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any Sakazaki hype.
You're special if you think any kind of battle happened between those two. That's not hype of strength whatsoever.

Based on the fact that when Shanks turned up to Marineford Akainu shat his magma panties.
Just like I thought, based on imagination and fanboyism.

So when kaido backs down its not hype but when BB the most cowardly dude does its supreme hype. Did u see his introduction speech in the manga. Btw I don't even think shanks biggest fear was kaido backing down but more of the clash with WB

Meaning that instead of fighting the suicidal Kaido was easily subdued or backed down even better for Akagame's Hype
It doesn't mean that. It means we have no idea what happened. For all we know, Shanks groveled to Kaido. For all we know, he paid him off. For all we know, he gave him a Rio Poneglyph. The possibilities are endless, but we know a fight isn't one.

No its not because we don't know why Kaido backed down. We know Teach backed down because he himself said he wasn't strong enough to fight Akainu, just like he did to Shanks. That's hype.

This is what I was talking about when I questioned you that if you want us to separate BB's group from the folks at MF; How can you be sure that a part of reason why BB got cocky at MF wasn't because they were surrounded by other big factions? BB, by that point, should've realized that Shanks wouldn't attack him. Let's see him try and doing it in a scenario where it doesn't involve the rest of the factions that were present at MF, then we can talk about how great of a portrayal Akainu had than Shanks. By the way, BB seemed pretty confident about no marine at MF being able to stop him until when Shanks arrived and made him know his place.

The only thing this changes is that Teach won't be cocky. The fact that he'd still run from Shanks if the Marines weren't there still places the hype as the same as Akainu's.

There is only one person who has the manga facts to back him up that is strong enough to probably win every 1 on 1 fight at this point and that is Kaido, everything else is speculative bullshit.

To answer ur question directly, its because Shanks is wanked by his fanboys, their main point they think its logical is:

"Whenn Shanks got to MF Akainu shizzzz his pants, lool" yeah if ur taking that as a discussion point then good luck.

Not really, if a character flees to avoid fighting WB and then the same dude does the same with East Blue Zoro, it doesn't place their hype on the same level in slightest. The fear doesn't necessarily have to be of the same level just because the reaction is similar. We can't just separate BB's case from MF scenario, the entire thing was used to hype Shanks. The mere fact that Akainu was just one of many hype tools used to place Shanks in a brighter light is what makes his hype better than Akainu's.

More anime bullshit. He had the same look on his face while listening to Coby and after seeing Shanks.

Believe what? That there are multiple plausible scenarios as to what happened between Shanks and Kaido, but a full battle not being one of them? Of course I believe that, I'm capable of looking at this without fanboyism deluding me.
Fanboyism? I give jack shit about Akagame. However with the hype he has received, I understand his fanboys...

First of all:

* Whitebeard: "We were surprised by a man of your abilities to come back from the weakest of seas with 1 arm" the very same guy who counts Blackbeard as "snot" and sees Akainu as a brat(He put him offline momentarily)

* Kaido's Portrayal: Hates negotiations, Suicidal, Wants to start a war against WG, loves a a life threating thrill, hobby is to try to kill himself....

You think Kaido would back down from a talk? If he saw Shanks with Rio Ponygliph he would not negotiate for it, he will kill Shanks for it or better "good luck killing me Shanks" :|

* Luffy One Day has to surpass Shanks, and you think Akainu is already there?


If we do A > B > C

You'll notice it took everything Akainu has plus 10 days to defeat Aokiji. Winning with mere devil fruit difference. Doffy looked comfortable vs a rouge Aokiji.

Shanks ~ Kadio who is sees himself as >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Doflamingo

False because right now Akainu I believe is stronger.
-Survived punches from whitebeard in which WB had put everything. Came back and fought all the division commanders alone.
-Took half the head of the strongest man even after a surprise attack.
And this was all done against the limit of strength at that time in One Piece(Whitebeard).

If Shanks would show some strength feats even better than this then he'd be stronger. But the difference between the two would be minute in any case.

No its not because we don't know why Kaido backed down. We know Teach backed down because he himself said he wasn't strong enough to fight Akainu, just like he did to Shanks. That's hype.
Teach didn't say that. He said it's not time yet, why do you make up stuff point blank I'm really thinking you just like to troll at this point lol.

And akainu was shown to use guys like squardo to get any chance to weaken WB, that actually shows him feeling inferior, a retreat on the other hand doesn't. If akainu is strong as u claim a weakened and old wb should've gotten mid diffed but he didn't. But that's a different matter, point is akainus hype is weak but only in comparison to the all time great guys and yonkos like Kaido and even shanks who has an edge
