In One Piece 1084, fans were left bewildered when they assumed that one of the members of the Holy Knight was Shanks. However, it has been confirmed in the episode that the silhouette of the Holy Knight was not Shanks. So who is the Holy Knight that resembles Shanks? Let’s find out in this article as we delve deeper into One Piece 1084.
As fans of the show know, Eiichiro Oda has a habit of tricking fans with his silhouettes. The silhouettes he presents usually do not match the character’s actual appearance. The same can be said for the Numbers, Admiral Ryokugyu, and the giant shark silhouette in Egghead’s waters. Oda’s tendency to deceive fans is something that has become customary in the show.
Based on this experience, it’s safe to assume that the Holy Knight’s silhouette that looks like the Akagami pirates is probably a deception. Fans will soon be surprised when the actual design of the Holy Knights is revealed. Another fact that negates Shanks being a Holy Knight can be seen in Movie Red. Oda gave a clue about whether Shanks is a good or bad character in the movie.
Oda said that to understand Shanks’ true nature, fans should look at the story of Movie Red. In the movie itself, Shanks is depicted as a good character, especially towards the civilians. He even took a beating from the people without retaliating against them while unconscious. This proves that Shanks is a good person and is the opposite of the World Government agents who are cruel to civilians.
The Holy Knights, also known as the Special Forces of the World Government, have similar characteristics to other agents. Therefore, in terms of character, Shanks is not suitable to be a Holy Knight. Moreover, the fact that Shanks is now actively seeking One Piece shows that he is no longer a pirate who sails aimlessly.
In conclusion, the Holy Knight from One Piece 1084 is not Shanks as initially thought. Fans will have to wait and see who this mystery character is. Eiichiro Oda’s tendency to deceive fans and his clues from Movie Red have given us a fair idea of Shanks’ true nature.
