One Piece fans are discussing which supporting character of the series has the potential to become a main character. With so many great and well-written characters, the number of choices is minimal.
Famous characters such as Ace, Law, Mihawk, Doflamingo, Whitebeard, Yamato and Hancock received huge support from the One Piece fan community, many of whom wished they got their own series or at least especially a series of short stories.
However, it was Red-Haired Shanks who received the most votes from fans. The mysterious Four Emperors rarely appear in the story, but always attract maximum attention from other characters and the audience.
One Piece fandom also believes that Shanks should become the main character in a series. Given his connection to both Roger and Luffy, as well as his influence over both the pirates and the World Government, having Shanks as a main character would almost guarantee a great series .
In terms of character, Shanks is the top choice for the main character. He has a cheerful and carefree personality, but he is also extremely strong and one of the strongest characters in the series. His past is a mystery and his origins are the subject of much speculation.
The Shanks series could give viewers a glimpse into his pirate career after Roger was executed. How could he become the Four Emperors along with legends like Whitebeard. And his encounter with Blackbeard left him with scars above his eyes. Shanks' rivalry with Mihawk would also be an incredible addition to the series.
Below are some fan comments about Shanks' solo movie:
– Shanks, he's basically the Luffy of his generation and the Red Hair Pirates are awesome too.
– I want a story about Shanks to see how great Gol D. Roger is. Or just to see him playing with Buggy,
– My choice is Shanks, there are so many things about this character that I want to know.
