In light of recent developments, Shanks' attack name when he's going after Kid makes a lot more sense
Tumblr media
(chapter 1079)
In Japanese, it's 神避 (kamusari) with the first kanji meaning god(s) and the second is the kanji of the verb 避ける (sakeru) which means to avoid (situation); to evade (question, subject); to shirk (one's responsibilities)​; to ward off; to avert​
So like "escaping from the god(s)"
(I like to think of it as "avoiding my fucking family")
PS: I'm not exactly sure if the "from" is necessarily the right interpretation, could be that he calls it "god's evasion" in the sense that the god is the one escaping/evading (is he the god that's escaping or are the gods evading him?)
