[style]

There is a reason why Oden's techniques are very similar to the Zoro's ones.

There is a reason why when someone picks up the sword of its deceased previous user he inherits his will.
And this is a manga that heavily relies on the inherited will trope.

I'm being generous and therefore I stop here, but there are a lot of other parallels actually.

So, to sum up: if you weren't able to realize all these parallels it's your fault, because anime is not making up anything.

Not that I like Zoro being paralleled to Oden, but what's implied in the manga can't be denied

Wtf are they doing? Do they even read the manga??

idk, but you clearly don’t

It's not Zoro that is the parallel with Oden, but Enma's aura which is the only thing that allowed Zoro to cut Kaidou in both cases.

The anime staff rather famously literally just use the manga itself when storyboarding a lot of their scenes.

When storyboarding they literally have the manga in front of them.

Why stupid?

 

[T.D.A]

Why is anime trying to make Zoro-Oden parallels ? Tf is wrong with them? Oda literally and clearly wants and showed Luffy-Oden and Zoro-Ryuma parallels in manga
Wtf are they doing? Do they even read the manga??

Or maybe they are reading further ahead than you:

 

[Law-sama]

They parallel because of Enma

[Santoryu D Bazooka]

Huh?? Are you serious? Did you not see the Parallel that Oden has for both Luffy and Zoro?? I thought this is a known fact here in worst gen.

 

[centurion]

there can be more than 2 parallels

Yep. Same way you Zoro boys want to say Zoro parallels BOTH Ryuma and Rayleigh, then why can't Oden parallel both Zoro and Luffy?

Because in the end, its both those two that will save Wano, a task Oden couldn't accomplish.

I feel like TOEI tries its best to stick to canon but inevitably since episodes last around 20 minutes they are forced to empower the canon content with whatever they feel would be pertinent according to their subjective interpretation. Sometimes they get it good, most of the times I would suggest.

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

I don't really care about it much.

You don't follow the anime passionately bro?

The anime staff are animators. Everything else is secondary.

Anime takes a lot of liberties and is trash lot of times but this was fine. Zoro inherited oden's will nonetheless

Also anime is non canon so it doesn't matter anyways

They gotta inflate the series to make 20 minutes run decently
