I demand that once translation shows Iโm right which iโm sure of... that you come here...tag me, and announce that you are wrong.. iโll do the same if I was wrong and Iโm 100 percent sure Iโm correct in this one
The summary is out and based on it we were both right in some ways and wrong in other.
Here's the part of the summary that focuses on Zoro and the medicine:
Miyagi (the goat doctor) says there's a super recovery medicine they use in Zou. It can heal Zoro's body for a period of time but after the effect wears off, the pain will be doubled.
Zoro: "There's no time to think now.
Just give that drug to me!!"
Based on that information, there is time period where Zoro will have enhanced healing/recovery from the medicine until it wears off so Zoro won't immediately feel the side effects of using it. But it doesn't say how long the super healing/recovery will last. It could be an hour or 20 minutes.
The summary also doesn't say if it will fully heal all of Zoro's injuries. I stated that was one of the ways the medicine might work in my earlier post.
That's not what the manga is telling us. That makes no sense. Why would the manga make such a big deal about the risk if the side effects won't come in until after the battle is over.
Based on the spoilers we are told one of two things are going to happen.
A - the medicine will heal Zoro instantly like it in a few seconds or minutes. So his body won't be injured and he will be able to fight and move normally but it will cause double the pain. Zoro will be fighting with double the pain.
B - the medicine heals Zoro body at a faster rate. IE: injuries that takes days to heal can be healed in hours. While he is healing the pain is normal. Once he finish healing the pain doubles.
That makes alot of sense. It would be like Ulti's ancient zoan recovery powers. It allowed her to recover from Big Mom's attack but she wasn't heal to 100%. That might explain why the pain doubles as a side effect. The injuries don't fully heal. When injuries fully heal you don't have pain.
