Shanks isn't swapping places
I have no idea if this is actually a popular theory or not, I just saw some people talking about it. They were pointing out the swords they had in the most recent chapter as the main piece of evidence, It's not very strong, but I thought I might be fun to look into evidence pointing the other way and I found that the tattoo's or symbols they get with rank don't match.
This is the tattoo Harold got when he got to the lowest of the 3 ranks it perfectly matches the tattoo Shanks had in the flashback with Gaban.
I also remembered that Killingham and Sommers had similar marks and found that the higher the rank, the mor intricate the symbol gets
This is Killinghams, notice how it has the little devil horns on it Sommers is a lot harder to find, but it has the same thing, has the little devil horn like things on it.
Going off of that Shamrock would have the same mark as Sommers and Killingham since he was a god knight, Shanks would have the same mark as Harold because they were both Blades of god instead. Like I said I have NO IDEA if this is actually a popular thought, or if it was just some very vocal people out there. But I saw the opportunity to talk and do a little (very little amount) of theorizing for the next few chapters and took it. Thanks for reading all the way if you did.
