Who cares?
When this arc started people were saying Zoro wouldn't do shit
wouldn't meet Kaido
wouldn't fight King
he wouldn't even fight Queen
he was gonna fight Orochi or Kyoshiro, remember that? that's what
they said it would happen.
now what did Oda gave us?
let's count!
1 - Zoro opens the arc with the most badass scene ever with the Seppuku
2 - Zoro shits on Hawkins fucking head, destroying a bunch of his subordinates by his devil fruit, if it wasn't for his devil fruit Zoro would've killed him, or if Zoro didn't have to leave because of Tama, Zoro would've killed all of his extra lives and left him on the dust. -1 Supernova
3 - Zoro shtis on Killer's fucking head while poisoned and withtout shusui, does this while protecting Hiyori, who absolutes adore him now, and also while Onimaru keeps being a pussy and attacking him from behind. -1 Supernova
4 - Zoro becomes friends with Yasui (best fucking dude in Wano), has that awesome scene with him finding out about the smile fruits and saves Toko, being completely intertwined with the emotional motivations of the arc
5 - Zoro gets Enma as a reward for bringing Shusui back and letting it stay in Wano, and also for saving Hiyori's life, after all Hiyori decides to gift Enma to him because of that, it was her sword.
6 - Zoro absolutely destroys Apoo to get the cure for Queen's virus and also destroy's Queen's gun with a long range slash. -1 Supernova
7 - Is taken to the rooftop thanks to Marco, who sees Zoro should be up there
8 - Zoro fights alongside the Roof 5 against Kaido and Big Mom, and is the second most important fighter (even the first you could argue, if you consider how many times he had to save and take care of Luffy during the fight).
9 - Zoro gets CoC confirmed, uses Asura and SCARS KAIDO. Also, let's not forget the Hiryu Kaen from earlier that made Big Mom and Kaido piss their pants.
10 - Zoro goes down, gets healed and now he is fighting King, the guy that Sanji fans have been saying was Sanji fight since 2019. While Oda also making sure to always show King sending Sanji flying every time they interact.
11 - Zoro is now related to Ryuma and Ushimaru somehow, showing a handling of the sword in the same way they did and has only one eye, the same eye they both had.
And the arc it's not even done yet
Thanks so much Oda!
I'm eating so fucking good this arc, and i know King vs Zoro is gonna end up being fucking amazing. And then after that... even if ZKK doesn't happen, we can still get Black Blade Enma this arc.
It's too fucking much.
