Character Discussion Zoro's potential opponents from Wano onward seem to share a similar theme regarding Sanji
- Thread starter Shanal
- Start date
Kizaru is a hypetool for some other character, most likely Teach. He is the less relevant admiral for a reason.
Zoro and Sanji fight the two new admirals that ars obviously paralela the the SH duo, but dont see the admirals being their final fights, as both Fuji and Ryo have hints on betraying the WG

Sure
They even fought together offscreen and got mentioned together for the first time, it's easy to mirror them with Zoro and Sanji's opponents, such as Kaku and Jabra, Mr.1 and Mr.2, King and Queen, especially cuz they always have an unique way to treat each other such as bickerings from time to time, and sometimes they even fight each other onscreen

It's about character portrayal. Kizaru is obviously Akainu's closest confidant and longest partner- and he's a position below in ranking and is always seen alongside Akainu. If Akainu has a Right Hand, this is closest you can get to it.
It's like how you don't really need any canonical confirmations (before the colored page of right hands came up) to say Zoro was Luffy's RHM.
Either way, Zoro is the only one who actually has any build-up whatsoever vs Kizaru. Be it Kizaru always confronting Right Hand Men, or the fact that Zoro was the only Strawhat who got personally beaten up and humiliated by Kizaru in Saboady. Meanwhile any other match-up for Kizaru is based on superficial stuff or some vague themes of blackhole vs light.
Fuji is another possibility, but I just don't see him as enemy.

D: Are Kizaru and Akainu stronger even than Aokiji? P.N. Osumansan
O: Hahh, hahh... Sorry for the late introduction. Hello. I'm the author, who got his Balls Flattened by a Reader... you can call me Balltender. But who cares! Here's a question...YIKES!! What the hell is THIS?! Kizaru?! Get outta here! I'm gonna have nightmares! Sorry P.N. Osumansan, Kizaru's already appeared! He'll show up in the next volume. Actually, you're not that far off, though.
The Pre-TS Admirals order was Sakazuki > Borsalino > Kuzan. Reflected in their Marineford matchups with Whitebeard > Marco > Jozu.
- Has been matched with Marco, Rayleigh and Benn Beckman. What do they all share in common? Being the RHM of a crew.
- Has unresolved conflict with Zoro from Sabaody Archipelago.
- Is Fleet Admiral Sakazuki's strongest man just like how Zoro is Luffy's strongest man. (read above).
Besides, what is even the argument for Sanji vs Borsalino? "Speed and Kicks"?
The only time Borsalino ever used kicks was against fodders and small fry who didn't matter. The only time he was matched up against a top tier in a serious duel (vs the Dark King), he used a sword. He has a named sword called "Ame no Murakumo", named after one of the sacred imperial regalias of Japan.
There's more going for Zoro vs Borsalino narratively than Sanji vs Borsalino.
