Real to his epithet, Shanks has distinctly red hair: usually depicted across media as deep-crimsonish. Deserving of note is that, uniquely amongst all characters yet seen, even ones with similar hair tone, Shanks' hair is the sole one filled with grayscale in the black-and-white manga (rather of tattooed black or left white). His first-seen hairdo was a directly, middle-parted one kept loosely down to nape length, with much shorter (at eye level), curtained bangs in the front. [5] In later appearances (at 10 years older), he is revealed with somewhat longer hair, wavier and more slicked back than prior to other than for some couple of hairs he lets fall down the sides of his face, pressed further sideward than said prior bangs.

Furthermore, Shanks' left arm is missing from below the deltoid, a result of him saving Luffy from a Sea King when Luffy was a child.
As did his hair, Shanks' face changes as the manga's art style progresses: initially, it appeared more younger, a soft jawline tapering down to a small, pointy chin. Its features were similarly milder than later representations and, conserve for his little nose, likewise bigger, most so his plain-black eyes, topped by thin eyebrows. [5] Later appearances show him more markedly countenanced, the square of his jaw, the sharper, narrower pair of eyes, and the chiseled, more plainly bridged nose providing him a manlier look. More constant stays the guy's facial hair, nevertheless, that he has always kept in a neatly thin connection of beard and mustache stubble, forming the starts of a circle beard.
