That's exactly what I feared may happen and things really seem to be heading that way. I was ironically saying just now I love Erza as a character, like I do with Zoro but their authors tend to wank them off a little too much, especially Erza but now Oda is doing the same with Zoro now too imo.
I know this was meant to be his arc and I was extremely hyped for that reason too naturally as well as it being the land of Samurai and such but this mink medicine writing and him fighting and winning against King a little too easily and quickly has really left a bad taste for me.
Also on a side note, we still don't know his true heritage, why Ushimaru looks so much like him, why the the Revolutionaries were at the dojo, if Kuina's death really was an accident, why Tashigi resembles her so much, who the Roronoas are if they are a real family/if its a real name, Zoro's parents and so on. I'm hoping this is all going to be answered "soon" especially in this arc ideally, but stuff like Tashigi may not at least due to the lack of her presence and now reason to be here too ofc. There's still the issue with Nidai too as we've discussed on here recently.
Although I also hate how Luffy is now suddenly tanking Kaido so easily but I also would even say the SNs in general so far as much as I love them. As much as I'd like to see and want the SNs to get wanked by Oda, it kinda feels like he's purposely nerfing/downplaying the Yonkos to do it too. It seems like a compromise either way, not an entirely win win situation possible. But its better than the arc being dragged out even more too I guess by them utterly getting wrecked again and losing again too?
Erza had nearly all her bones broken in her body by a giant dragon and she still mamanged to launch herself with her unbroken arm somehow and destroy a meteor with a single slash, at which point my brain almost exploded and not in a good mind blown sort of way either. It's like Kenpachi levels of wanking too which was even worse in the final arc of Bleach and also when he also fights someone who is even more brutally wanked than he is!
It seems all these series love to wank swordsmen up, maybe its the Rurouni Kenshin influence as well as other series too ofc but Naruto didn't do the same, despite having the 7 Swordsmen (although you could count Gai's father going 8 gates against all of them maybe?) and it had samurai too. Naruto was more controlled about it, although we did have Sasuke with a sword too so unless he counts? Lmao.
