Why did you even like Zoro in the first place?
After ZKK didn't happen, Zoro's character didn't change, he's still the same character, yet he's magically trash now.
Did you start reading one piece at Wano, saw a ZKK video and fell in love with the idea of Zoro killing Kaido and somehow it was tied to his character?
I never said Zoro as a character was good. I've always exclusively talked about Zoro's feats as power was his only saving grace coming into Wano. And yet going into Wano I've built expectations based on plot threads Oda has layed out and my own personal expectations.
I was hoping for Zoro's character to get a facelift during Wano, for him to have big story moments like in the Pre-TS. Through Zoro get more lore on swordsmanship and swords themselves, along with some mention of Mihawk being in Wano some time ago, maybe some impressive feat of some kind, to build Mihawk's legacy, which in turn builds upon the "World's Strongest Swordsman" title, that Mihawk actually did try to look for competitors throughout the world to go to such a secluded place. Zoro attemting to recruit Samurais to join their cause as he said he would when they were departing from Zou, possibly getting to know the Wano people and their heritage/culture/history so he can get more of an understanding, and possibly relate it back to his own past to make his connection with Wano grow.
I was once big on Zoro x Hiyori that Oda was seemingly setting up because I hoped that they would connect before the war, and during the war Hiyori taking revenge on Orochi
COMPENTENTLY, as she has declared that she would try to do, with Zoro watching over to experience 1st hand Hiyori's resolve in taking out her father's killer with her own hands, which would satify Zoro seeing Orochi's downfall in person.
I expected the relationship of Yasuie and Zoro to lead somewhere maybe get to know the Shitmosukis better through Zoro taking care of Toko after Yasuie's death before the war. Zoro wanted to take out Orochi to get vengeance for Yasuie, but decides against it because he realizes that Kaido's the true threat, and Orochi's just a figurehead, and there are others that lost much more to Orochi who's yearning to kill Orochi (Hiyori).
When Zoro decided to go after Kaido I hoped that he'd be the one to kill Kaido (doesn't mean Luffy couldn't defeat him initially). When he does it, he's doing it to avenge Yasuie and those that suffered under Kaido rule, which unbeknowst to him he would gain the praise from the Wano residents, to have his name spoken in the same sentence as Ryuma, his legendary ancestor who through special circumstances handed to Zoro Shusui, his legendary blade. He'd make a name for himself in Wano, and also building a legacy of his own, which these accolades would add to the WSS title when he nabs it from Mihawk.
But we didn't get any of that. Rather Zoro's only legacy he's leaving in Wano is being known as a common criminal that killed a magistrate, Zoro's relationship with Yasuie went absolutely nowhere, Zoro's declarations were never fulfilled and were never touched on again, which makes him a lier, a fraud. Hiyori was a stupid bimbo that just acted on a whim to take out Orochi, only bringing seastone nails as weapons, becoming a damsel in distress with no plan B, getting lucked out thanks to plot. And who was his final opponent? King, a tough ass foe with a personality of wet cardboard. He had no prescence throughout Wano except when the raid begun, and has done nothing of significant plot relevance except for being Zoro's fight, and getting flashbacks of him and Kaido together, who the latter never recipocated any feelings towards King in the present. King had less story importance than even Queen!
And what is Zoro's reward through all this? Oh that's right. A theoretically inferior sword compared to Shusui named Enma, a sword Hiyori claimed to be the only weapon that scarred Kaido, which is a complete lie as Ame no Habikire did so as well, which means she fooled Zoro to give up her birthright in exchange for Shusui. And what was the Grim Reaper plot about? It turns out that it was just build up for a shitty gag between Zoro and Sanji fore the millionth time Zoro that the fanboys of both of the caracatures can rant and yell at each other to bring more attention towards this chapter and to wring out as much paper as possible from this chapter.
Will Zoro visit Ryuma's grave at this point? Honestly it's not certain. Will Zoro ever reveal his finding on the bridge during his battle with Gyukimaru, on what makes a Black Blade? Who the fuck knows. But forsure I know this well. Oda has dropped the ball for the last fucking time. I get it. Zoro's nothing more than a servant to Luffy, and his dream only serves to prop his captain up. Mihawk doesn't have feats or a legacy to support his claim of the WSS title, and is only a stand in for Zoro to overcome to complete his dream, and his dream only matter to himself and Fraudhawk. No one else cares, and no one else in the One Piece world cares about Black Blades, sword grades, or swordsmanship in general, which makes the subject in and of itself hollow. And most of all I come to terms that Zoro has became a farce of his Pre-TS self. He doesn't have much of a personality outside of being a muscle brain that blows Luffy every chance he gets.
As the revelation has came to me I'm dropped being a fan of this waste of a character, and as soon as Wano ends I'm dropping this dumpster fire of a shonen manga.
