I don't downplay Zoro, I've even said that during rooftop 5 he was the most impressive and that I think he will be a close second in the verse by the end of the series.
I just genuinely think that ZKK is unbelievably dumb and that it had no chance of happening, ever. It will not happen. When I make fun of Zoro im just making fun of ZKK believers by proxy, I'm a fan too and I think he was done dirty this arc character wise.
