Character Discussion Who’s Smarter Luffy or Zoro?

[pg13]

 

[Natalija]

Everyone is smarter than Luffy, OP is famous for the dumb mc trope so I am not sure what's the purpose of this thread

 

[Gol D. Roger]

B/w the two, it's Zoro. Zoro's not that dumb tbh. Only certain aspects about him are dumb; he's fine otherwise.

 

[Ryuarashi]

Combat wise it's probably Luffy

Overall it's Zoro as Luffy is suppose to be the typical dumb MC.

 

[Mad_Monk]

Zoro is smarter or wiser is a better way to put it.

 

[Lor D. Coast]

 

[ShishioIsBack]

Its like asking who is smarter Albert Einstien or Logan Paul

 

[Peenix]

Luffy is actually smarter, people vote Zoro because he's cold and prefer being rational.
But having a preference with being rational doesn't mean being smarter, a cognitive preference ≠ your IQ.
You can be the most emotional person in this world and choice with your heart when It comes to decisions but still being smart.
Zoro doesn't get the message of 3DY2 initially and Rayleigh himself was worried about, Zoro Is dumb, he just tries to act rational and choice rational options but having a preference to do so doesn't mean smarter.

Zoro's usually the 1 explaining situations to Luffy. Luffy is a idiot but knows how to get to the heart of situations he's involved in.

Afaik, Oda himself rated Luffy's intelligence as 1 while rating Zoro's as 2.
The same chart where their strength is rated as 6.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Luffys the dumbest person on the crew (and that includes the ships)

 

[DarkKingSlander]

Luffy is definitely top 3 dumbest shonen protagonist. Im struggling to think of a dumber protag.

Luffy can walk in a straight line without getting lost.

Zoro can become lost in a straight line

Why you hate Jimbo? Brook is smarter than Zoro too.

Overall IQ goes to Zoro. But Luffy has better battle IQ.
