Mihawk Chekhov Explicit Aggregate

Ten distinct on-page chekhov-explicit setups across Ch 5-49 all aim at the same target: the Ch 50-51 Mihawk encounter.

This is the densest single-technique cluster pointing at a single narrative beat in the vault to date. Each component note installs an explicit chekhov gun — a named rule, a named opponent, a named technique, a named body-cost — that the Mihawk duel will fire.

What the pattern predicts

Ten chekhov-explicit setups converging on one chapter ≈ a fully-loaded firing. The Mihawk duel will pay off:

1. The hara-kiri pact (Ch 6) — survival-permits-restart
2. The body-prices-paid axiom (Ch 16) — visible chest-wound
3. The named-technique vocabulary (Ch 17, 33) — Santoryu tested at title-holder scale
4. The crew-structural-requirement (Ch 18) — first-mate role installed
5. The disarm-pattern inversion (Ch 31) — armed combat-loss
6. The gatekeeper-role consequence — first un-held gate
7. The named-before-shown villain-grammar — Mihawk’s on-page combat
8. The named-and-located target — destination resolved
9. The power-tier benchmark — Mihawk demonstrates the 50-ships tier
