I have a few which I think are are incredibly overrated.

1. Ace. Dude shouldn't have been on the same battlefield as the other WB commanders. The guy had a very strong first impression, but really fell short towards the end. And it was his own foolishness that led to his death. A great character who ended up falling flat on his face, literally.

2. Sabo. People think he's admiral level, yet he gets toyed by an admiral who's barely even trying. While most have left that notion, there are still people who think that. The guy isn't much more powerful than Luffy or Law, if at all imo. For the #2 of the RA, and was considered the #2 without the mera mera, he's incredibly disappointing. Or should i say the RA is incredibly disappointing if pre-mera mera Sabo is the best they got. He's clearly not even close to admiral level at this point. To me, he feels like Ace 2.0, a character who Ace probably woudl've been 2 years later had he been given the time to mature mentally and enhance his strength and abilities.

3. Smoker. The guy's a freaking punching bag and yet people try and claim he's actually near M3 level. The guy has a DF that he barely utilizes. Why the hell is he fighting wtih a jitte? He has these smoke powers that just aren't utilized when fighting with a jitte. It would be lie giving someone with great marksmanship like Usopp a sword and having him fight with that, it just makes no sense at all. And his DF really feels like a poor man's gas gas fruit. He just feels slightly above average in all regards imo. His haki seems to be slightly above average, his fighting wtih his jitte seems to be slightly above avergae (I think eh'd be wrecked by Zoro), and his physical stats seem to be slightly above average. He doesn't overwhelm me in the slightest and I think Luffy could wreck him pretty easily.

4. Hancock. She's probably the most overrated of them all. She's shown nothing that makes me think she's above M3, yet people place her quite a bit above the M3. Her feats have all been replicated pretty easily and relies wayyyyy too much on her charms. Frankly, I'd put her at Sanji's level at this point.

To me, those are the 4 most overrated characters in the series.

I still don't see how shanks is overrated, If anything he's underrated Lol. Shanks the weakest Yonkou? get outta here, the underrating of him by some people is just too high.

Exactly. I find Kaido to be overrated. He hasn't done a damn thing and people are saying he's the strongest yonko/character because of his title. Same thing with Mihawk.

To me, I find it difficult to claim any of the yonko are overrated. The fact is they're the yonko, the four most powerful pirates in the entire world. How you can say the four most powerful pirates in the world are overrated makes no sense to me. Now how strong they are can definitely be questioned, but to act like they aren't at admiral level is kinda silly to me. They're as strong as their title suggests, otherwise wouldn't they have been dethroned by now?

But we have seen Mihawks capability in the war of the best.
Mihawk was both impressive and disappointing at the war. Impressive because he left without a scratch and clashed briefly with lots of infamous people, plus the iceberg feat.

Disappointing because he couldn't even land a shot on warn out pre skip luffy, the world strongest blade should of cut crocodiles hook, Jozu easily deflected his slash, the only one he really bodied was Daz Bones but that dude is light work.

He basically did a lot of flashy stuff that didn't really do much and then walked off unscathed

He wasn't even serious at all during the war.

Shanks is overrated though. He has good portrayal, but no hype to put him on a higher pedestal than the other yonkous. As it stands, Kaido has better hype

The world creature is often used for Nonhumans so it can be implied that the statement strongest creature is just to indicate that he isn't human being.

Ofcourse I know that humans are creatures but there are indications of some humans being stronger than Kaido which is why I believe that his title doesn't include humans.


Shanks has more hype than Kaido and no need to mention about Shanks stopping Kaido from killing WB.hmm

There are no legitimate indications that his title does not include human beings.

You have no idea how the confrontation between Shanks and Kaido went down. For all you know, Shanks and Kaido are old buddies and Kaido did him a favor by not attacking.

Shanks blocked Akainu's magma fist like it was nothing. What have we seen Kaido do? At least Shanks has shown stuff, Kaido is literally vaporware at this point, pure hype with zero substance.

Yes, There is.

The fact that he failed to stop Shanks from stopping him clearly explains how inferior he is when compared to Shanks.

Shanks fought Kaido as stated by Marines and everything that happened during that time clearly supports that claim.

Yonko are friends?:leaf:

Read manga again.hmm

A magma fist aimed at Coby.... Kaido lacks feats because he lacks panel time. By hype however he is the strongest beast that automatically puts him above characters like Sengoku by hype. Shanks has no hype besides being a yonkou

HE has the hype of stopping the Kaido a fellow Yonko from killing WB with no struggle which would automatically put him above Kaido.
