Current Events Zoro and Shimotsuki: The Inherited Will

#82
Oda also heavily teased Zoro's bloodline in SBS 96.



However large a part it plays in the end, I'm fairly confident we aren't leaving without learning of Zoro's background.
yeah something is boiling and Oda doesnt want to bring this new info. So far did a good job with the shimotzuki and also the lore behind the blade. The question at the end imply more is coming, like they really do look alike uhhh?
We have a chapter title two peas in a pod (Zoro&Ryuma chapter) like of course Oda will explore more Zoro lineage.

In chapter 1033, Zoro even starts to wonder about the true origins of his village, and that it was founded by a Wano Samurai. He's starting to realize he has closer ties to the country than originally thought, and I don't see Oda stopping there.

He's definitely a Shimotsuki, imo. The question is where he fits in. Oda's keeping it intentionally vague.
Well, he is confirmed not to be a descendant of two likeliest Shimos to be his ancestor(s).

That leaves two possibilities:

- A branch family of the Shimos
- A retainer's family

Oda never, to the best of my knowledge, spoke against Zoro's dojo crushing background prior to meeting Kuina in the Shimotsuki village. So we can assume this is at least consistent with whatever Oda plans to do with Zoro's lineage.

But this begs a question: if Zoro meeting Kuina is his first visit to the Shimotsuki village, where is he from?

The key may well be in Oda's SBS answer: Oda specifically stated that Kozaburo did not set out to the seas alone, but brought Wano samurais with him. I think it is more possible that the samurais, his retainers or otherwise, and Kozaburo parted ways as they explored East Blue after they saved the villagers from mountain bandits (prior to the found of the village). It is one of these samurais who ended up becoming Zoro's granddad.

hmm

i am glad that he is not zoro father cuz he is weak and he is dead , dead means he canot establish any relation with zoro .
---
now since oda confirmed it
then why you made them so much similar ?! even ryuma as well ?!
__
zoro has some blood of shimtsuki this is clear but how and why ?!

my old theory is zoro is ryuma him self born again with no knowledge of is first life .


or zoro is time traveler.
the third choice and it seems more reasonable
zoro mother of father are son of ushimaru left wano with kozaboro 50 years ago

I think whatever Oda does with Zoro, he'll ensure he is a direct descendant of Ryuma. There are too many connections between the three, Ryuma, Ushimaru, and Zoro to just be coincidences. Zoro's date of birth, hometown, appearance, connections to Ryuma, they all trace back to the Shimotsuki.

Oda's intentionally being vague about it. This will sound like a bit of a reach, but Oda only really ruled out Ushimaru as Zoro's father, and nothing more. And he's been hush about Ryuma, whom I am sure he's received many more messages from readers about being Zoro's ancestor.

Ryuma being an ancestor of Zoro's is still possible, of course.

Heck, with how old his legend and bloodline are, Ryuma is practically the ancenstor of current Wano.

Talking about toki possibly being involved here got me thinking...

What if the 9 shadows she mentioned are the shadows of Zoro's 9 swords when he uses ashura again to kill kaido :bignews:
:cheers:

Wait...so...by that theory, Hiyori, Momoron, and Zoro are siblings? :crazwhat:

So...that means Hiyori slept with her own brother? :quest:

So, Zoro is theorized to be incestuous on top of receiving racism accussation? :hope:

Is Oda fond of Sweet Home Alabama or something? :sighting:

Holy shit, I hope that theory does not come true! :jay-he:

Would Zoro being a Shimo not contradict his dojo crusher background, tho?
I warmly hope that Zoro and Tashigi don't share quite a close DNA. That would be heart wrenching.
