That’s my issue. I think literally 90% of Mihawk’s panel time has just been him coasting on reputation alone, and I don’t think he’s ever been in a fight since Marineford. And whenever he DOES fight, he always seems to find a reason to not go all out, usually amounting to “he has no reason to go all out because his opponent is out of his league.” At this point, there has to be something MASSIVE for Mihawk to have his title, assuming it’s not like Afro Samurai where he just beat the previous greatest swordsman in the world to earn his title.
At least Shanks got a sweet attack to show why he’s a force to be reckoned with.
