it's officially confirmed zoro was born in east blue

i don't see zoro's father is Shimotsuki Ushimaru unless

if the mother was pregnant at that time then she left wano otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

but zoro is 100% related to ryuma.

Yeah I think Zoro was born in Shimotsuki Village but his family might have escaped with Kozaburo when he left Wano. Oda is having Zoro "stop being lost/the lost wandering swordsman" and finally returning to his ancestral home or w/e. Where he was truly meant to belong.
God knows I've had idiots argue with me for literal hours on how Zoro isn't a samurai and has nothing to do with Wano, FFS. And that was only earlier this year I think!?

But there is the question, why haven't we seen Zoro's parents, why have they not been mentioned then? I am really looking forward to Oda finally giving us Zoro's full backstory and family history, his lineage and thus the meaning and history of Roronoa. Also his and the Roronoa's connections to the Shimotsukis throughout history. Toki's clan is a complete mystery too, the Amatsukis or so? Wait...Amatsuki and Shimotsuki? Huh....Both moon themed too....

:zorothink:

could be.

but Roronoa is a boy name tbh

I mean Mother family name, like portgas for Ace

 

[Shanks_SZN]

Ushimaru was killed abt a year before he was born

Imo Oda didnt need to mention Ushimaru like that unless hes related to Zoro

clan related

both have connects with ryuma

 

[Ballel]

Still can't believe that Woodley ruined his legacy forever like that
dude was basically begging for the rematch, even agreed to get the "I love Jake Paul" tattoo

This sport is so horrific

There are a few things to note here.

1. Birthplace can be a replacement for "sea of origin". Zoro IS from the East Blue after all, just like Shanks is said to be born in WEST BLUE, however if it is later revealed that he was born on GOD VALLEY for example I wouldn't find it shocking

2. Zoro can still be related to Ushimaru without being his son, he can be his nephew for example or even his GRANDSON, because it is aid that Zoro reminded of a YOUNG USHIMARU, we don't know how old he was when he died.

It's either fake or Woodley needs buy some balls, my guy had all the chance the in the world yet didn't want to finish him off btw this the guy who mauls people and gets all the time, I don't know why he would be afraid to get hit

he's not afraid to get hit, he's just gun shy
they call him the Frozen One for a reason

Wait. Did the VC really leak before the chapter? Or is it old?

 

[HA001]

Wasn't there a ship that left about 20 years ago
Something to do with the carpenter?
My guess is zoro/zoromom was on that

it's old

This sport is so horrific

Modern day Roman gladiators, it's sick. I think boxing and even wrestling is bad enough but this is fucking savagery and extreme violence. It really makes me sick. Barbarism.

 

[Kaizou]

Yeah maybe but that doesn't take away the chances he had, it wasn't like Paul was fully max as well he was gassed out so Woodley had no reason to play like that. Absolute joke from both sidd

 

[Peroroncino]

Can't wait for him to come back, i also have some saved just waiting for him

55 years ago
that was Shimotsuki Kozaburo, Koshiro's father and Kuina's grandfather

Funny you should say that too, I really wanted it to be it's own unique thing, something that really makes swordsmen distinguised from everyone else, along with different martial arts and such.

I don't want everything being related to DFs and Haki, there was talks of Rokushiki apparently being alluded to being Haki based a while ago in the community, which worried me. I can't remember if it was mentioned in the OP magazine or SBS or VCs or somewhere like that? I remember it coming up as a topic a while ago though.

I found this thread by Ohara Artur which is what I'm sure what I was thinking of/remembering too:

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1212888058955280384

I really hope we see the like of Shanks and his crew specialise in stuff like this too

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GunKata

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GunFu

I read that on Arthur's website..and was nonchalant since just months ago I was in that wagon...but Hassoken is unexplained so we have hope.

the fact that Kaku defected zoro's "haki" imbued balde using shi shi son son...makes it more interesting..

I just hope of there is haki..its only CoO which makes sense too.

 

[Karma]

The fact he he has his mothers(?) name suggests its Ushimaru, doesnt make sense for him to be the only one in the village to hide his last name if he wasnt related to someone important

 

[Blother Fertitta]

Nah bro, by then it’s gonna be Sanji vs Shiryu next season

. Birthplace can be a replacement for "sea of origin". Zoro IS from the East Blue after all, just like Shanks is said to be born in WEST BLUE, however if it is later revealed that he was born on GOD VALLEY for example I wouldn't find it shocking

I disagree on this. Birthplace means place of your birth.

Zoro can still be related to Ushimaru without being his son, he can be his nephew for example or even his GRANDSON, because it is aid that Zoro reminded of a YOUNG USHIMARU, we don't know how old he was when he died.

Well, we can see white haired Ushimaru in Oden's flash back, he might have been psat his prime when he died.

Didn't Shanks tell Whitebeard he was raised in West Blue

Yeah you're right, it's very confusing:

https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Minatomo_(East_Blue)

He is a descendant of someone who originated from Wano Country who left Wano for the East Blue a few decades ago. He is related to another carpenter who is also only known as Minatomo.[4]

Maybe it's also a subtle hint by Oda to explain the similarities with Kuina and Tashigi? Twins like Lola and Chiffon? Same for these carpenters?
