Fanclub Temple of The Grandmaster Zoro
Hold on when luffy or momo had interest in visit Ryuma's grave also when momo has been compared with ryuma the only one who's been compared with ryuma has been our boy in two times
Tell that to kid me who picked up the anime in 2005. Zero expectation is very difficult to do now. It stinks that I have to lower it. Part of growing up I guess.
I was happy with Zoro being a nobody who will be the best by his own. I never wanted him to be Ryuuma's parallel or a Shimotsuki. I hate characters who are like the second-coming of Jesus.
But then Oda went out of his way to tease the same. Why did he have to do that? I can forgive many of the decisions Oda made in Wano. But teasing us when most of us weren’t expecting/interested in Zoro's past beyond the Dojo, then suddenly dropping it was really disgusting. Making Luffy-Ryuuma connection was just rubbing salt on the wound.

Hey man, this is a good post. A die hard Zoro fan @Cinera once accused me of having low expectations because I have been saying for long there is no way ZKK is happening and there might be a possibility that Kidd-Law outshines Zoro this arc.
The thing is Zoro surpassed my expectations when he got included in the rooftop fight. Think about it. Oda could draw a fight of Luffy-Kidd-Law vs Kaido. There was no point in dragging Zoro up there, but he did. Not only Zoro was present at rooftop, he outshone everyone. He blocked a dual yonko attack that made everyone shit themselves. He scarred Kaido with a broken body.
He unlocked AdCoC. No other pirate from the worst generation has AdCoC other than Luffy. Kaido said that the haki users reign supreme! Take a pause and think about it for a moment. AdCoC is the strongest power in the verse and Zoro has it! Honestly, I couldnt believe it when Zoro blocked hakai or unlocked AdCoC.
Was King underwhelming as Zoro's opponent when Kidd-Law got a yonko? Sure. But lets not forget they beat Meme (the most pathetic yonko ever) in a tag team.
As @solis said, keep your expectations low. Thats the formula of happiness.

@Nidai_Kitetsu I knew Zoro was going to unlock CoC at some point in the manga. I never thought that Oda would have Luffy and Zoro unlock the same power up during the same arc!
If beating Mihawk doesn't make it happen, then his name better not reach heaven.
I do not believe Zoro has anything else to do with Kaido and at this point I do not want it. Zoro doesn’t need Luffy's sloppy seconds. I also don't need to see Zoro's infamy coming from being Luffy's crewmate.
Mihawk is the guy who is far removed from Luffy in this story so far and he is the guy I am willing to bet on for Zoro. Everyone else is already or soon will be Luffy's bitch and Zoro need no glory from them.

To me, ZKK is equivalent to Luffy becoming PK or finding the One Piece.
That is the only event connected to Zoro that I can imagine to spread Zoro's name like nothing else.
I simply cannot imagine the world being shaken by Zoro's name because he defeated Mihawk.
Unless defeating Mihawk is such an unbelievable thing in the eyes of characters in One Piece...
I understand your point about Luffy's sloppy seconds but if Kaido awakens into a form that Luffy never faced, that concern is gone.
Even if he doesnt have Awakened form, killing Kaido is something that Luffy cannot even dream about.
I agree that Zoro being Luffy's crewmate should be the last thing that makes Zoro infamous.
Mihawk is reserved for Zoro, no need to worry about that.
