i mean he wont be ko'd but he also wont be in great condition to fight anyone
zoro cant prove the wano samurai are formidable
no one sees him as one of them , he grew up outside. rather the point of opening up the country shows its completely ok for an outsider to help which is whaat luffy is doing, and all the other pirates that participated in this war. that was oden prophecy.
"It's like...we've waited 25 damn years to actually get this info about Zoro, to have him cement himself as someone worthy of being the WSS and the second coming of Ryuma. If Oda can't deliver on the character who is only second to Luffy in pretty much any story-related aspect, whether that be popularity, importance, strength, etc. then that's absurd."
at the moment he was one of the key figures in a war that took down wano's oppressor
if you are looking for anymore than that in an arc where luffy is present.. tough tough tough
"People say Zoro fans are greedy for wanting any more out of him. I'm sorry, but defeating the villain's strongest subordinate like he always does and being involved in a brief scuffle with Kaido doesn't cut it...he's had like a 5-10% increase in his importance to the arc thus far and that shouldn't cut it. No Zoro fan should feel ashamed for wanting more"
what cuts it then, killing him?
its pretty clear who the samurai on onigashima think is their savior no?
so from that standpoint the ryuma legend people want with kaido -zoro seems a bit far fetched..
"A post-arc lore dump is not enough for all of that in my eyes, and I hope a lot of other people can see why"
post battle like rebecca finding out kyros was her dad not post arc. why would the middle of a war make more sense for that
