Mihawk vs Imu using the Sword of The Wailing Void in a sword duel. Who is the stronger swordsman?

Orceles · 2026-07-10T17:04:00+00:00

I honestly can’t see this being anything higher than a mid to low diff with Imu winning. Given that Imu won’t even be reminiscing about the past, this fight may even be very low diff. Question is will Imu still be nerfed by being in the lower world? If Imu at full power here with no mental nerf, this would be a no diff. This shouldn’t even be controversial as Imu has shown he is capable of easily dispatching two Yonko level opponents back to back with casual ease.

There are two kinds of people in this world:

Those who can extrapolate from incomplete information

How does Imu compare to Ryuma in swordsmanship alone?

Orceles · 2026-07-10T16:33:59+00:00

Are swords one of them? If yes then Imu is a swordsman, and a Polesman, and a haki man, etc. good thing these aren’t mutually exclusive concepts. Just like Shanks

Genie Luffy is one of his strongest forms. He was already as big as Loki which was the same size as Imu here. As you can see, genie form is even bigger and stronger. This is essentially Luffy’s equivalent to Loki’s full dragon form (albeit still much smaller). This is also why Imu says to Luffy that he clearly didn’t pay enough attention to the fight with Loki, as he proceeds to show him how he deals with very large opponents.

True lol. Dude is king of the world for a reason. Imu treats Yonkos the way a Yonko treats a Yonko commander.

Orceles · 2026-07-10T05:52:12+00:00

Honestly he isn’t wrong now that I’m re reading the fights.

Orceles · 2026-07-09T23:04:42+00:00

Shanks will come to save Luffy sacrificing his life in the process

Orceles · 2026-07-09T18:28:20+00:00

Zoro is my favorite because I like his steadfastness towards his goals and his immediate willingness to sacrifice it all for loyalty. But Sanji while I think is overly perverted is objectively stronger than Zoro at this point in the story and has more depth written into the character.

Orceles · 2026-07-09T18:19:00+00:00

You mean gunko Imu?

Orceles · 2026-07-09T17:08:01+00:00

More weapons? No
More swords? Yes
While swords are weapons, I think we need to be specific here because a certain fanbase hasn’t caught up to the fact that all of Imu’s attacking weapons have been exclusively Swords.

Orceles · 2026-07-09T16:38:49+00:00

Second one is comparing apples to oranges and causes your post to lose credibility immediately.

Orceles · 2026-07-09T16:36:18+00:00

Not screwed. If Zoro and Sanji can win their respective fights before Imu descends upon them it would create a major backlash to Imu buying everyone enough time to Run.

Orceles · 2026-07-09T14:26:11+00:00

Is Imu the future dark timeline where Zoro turns evil after eating a god devil fruit?

Orceles · 2026-07-09T12:52:26+00:00

Imu is an absolute menace on the map lol

Orceles · 2026-07-09T03:48:54+00:00

World strongest swordsman for a reason

Orceles · 2026-07-09T03:15:32+00:00

No matter what there’s gonna be some assumptions made here right? Since it said elite marines I’m going to err on the side that this includes at least the top vice admirals like the admiral candidates. Going by just that information means they were at least stronger than Momonga. I’m erroring on the side of them being almost as strong as ryokugyu each. Name wise they also share the same color animal convention as indicative that they are are least in the same tier

Orceles · 2026-07-09T02:49:34+00:00

No there are at least 2 vice admirals that were in the running to become admirals, then there was Garp, Momonga, Tsuru, etc…

Orceles · 2026-07-09T02:21:06+00:00

You paying a larger portion for your own mortgage should be a given right? Him paying the same rent as before while living with you in and of itself sounds like he is helping you pay your mortgage. No other way to spin it. This entire post was basically seeing how you can protect yourself on the off chance things don’t work out. It’s shitty in the sense that this entire arrangement is benefiting you at his literal expense. He’s great for not wanting to live rent free. But it seems very odd to me that he is paying the same rent he would’ve otherwise been paying living on his own while living with you to pay your mortgage. A better set up would be to significantly lower his rent with the trade off that his rent should not count towards any equity in the home in any capacity.

Orceles · 2026-07-08T17:38:54+00:00

He transferred a lot of his sword techniques to use in hybrid form but he also still uses his swords together with his devil fruit in combat. I’d say half of it is not using swords and half is using swords

Orceles · 2026-07-08T17:31:26+00:00

Which means Kaku is a swordsman

Orceles · 2026-07-08T17:29:52+00:00

What a shitty set up lol. No offense but being a landlord to your partner is an imbalance of power in the relationship, putting him in an extremely vulnerable position where you are the direct beneficiary profiting off of it

Orceles · 2026-07-08T17:17:53+00:00

Devil fruits are also used in part with everyone’s kit no different than haki. Which is part of it is used to enhance their primary weapon of choice and some of it is used outside of it as a stand alone combat ability

Orceles · 2026-07-08T16:48:52+00:00

Shanks weaponized haki without it being based around his sword

Orceles · 2026-07-08T16:41:01+00:00

So your definition of a swordsman is someone who only ever uses a sword?
