General & Others Zoro s confirmed to be the deuteragonist.

[Rej]

Oda is talking about whole series in entirety and not on the basis of arcs.

Oda said he planned Zoro as a maincharacter before he came up with Luffy iirc. It isn't even new news, this shit was known before.

The strawhats are the protagonists.
A series can have multiple protagonists but also multiple deuteragonists.
On a scale of One Piece, a deuteragonist can be found in every arc usually the one who's the centric character of the arc flashback.

Overall across the story, Zoro will always be the second protagonist, that's just the overarching build up for Zoro.
Doesn't make him the second stagetaker every arc tho.

Some people can't comprehense the fact that one piece is a stage-flexible story, it is only natural to have multiple protags, multiple deuters and multiple antas in such a story.

 

[[No Name]]

Already known.

After Zoro there is Sanji, after Sanji Is Nami, then Usopp and well they all are more important than the rest of the crew

 

[Foul Legacy]

He incorporated ryuma a protagonist of another story in one piece through zoro. That doesn’t mean there are 2 protagonist or a deutergonist in the actual story just that zoro is based on one

It’s pretty obvious the second main character just depends on the arc. With it constantly changing up

Within the crew zoro’s definitely the strongest after luffy but he isn’t any more important than the rest of the crew
Zoro like oden, ace, or Yamato are characters that you wouldn’t expect to work under anyone. Something constantly highlighted about zoro to usually further hype luffy for having him as a subordinate



But yeah the story doesn’t have one
It’s very clearly luffy’s story with everyone else playing a side role. Depending on the arc the 2nd most important character besides luffy changes. The 2nd most important strawhat changes arc to arc too

Dressrosa for instance

1. Luffy the main character obviously
2. Law was pretty much the 2nd main character
3. Usopp was the most important strawhat

Bro started crying already

Erkan and sky sanji next.

 

[kekaro]

Another confirmation from our idolo that Zoro was created after Nika to fellatio and support him from conception

 

[zenox]

Zoro was a great deuteragonist during WCI.

Well done.

Nah, that's Oda's misleading wording.

It's every arc someone else is the deuteragonist. The strawhats in unison are "protagonists".

I can see the tears from this post

 

[Julius]

All that for having things like his whole family tree dropped in a SBS like a side character?


Deutaragonist? What!? Where? When?


And i didn't see you taking about all the other stuff he said in this interview as well, such as Sanji being planned alongside Ryuma as Romeo in a display of Samura vs Knight in the 90s

Then nowadays it turns out that Sanji's eyebrows are more relevant for Oda than Zoro's whole family

Deutaragonist? Wut is my blud wafflin bout

 

[Roo]

Issue is Ryuma is basically a Luffy clone in monsters lol. East Blue Zoro really isn’t like Ryuma

You wrong again, my friend. The Knight is Jimbo not sanjino

you losing it mate?

that has nothing to do with what Oda just said

Oda said that yes, he already planned Luffy as the MC and everything

but because he wanted One Piece to be popular, he made Ryuma / Zoro

he knows what people like

And then Ryuma went on to have his own one shot whereas ''Romeo'' was never mentionned again anywhere.

he literally just said the plan was always luffy as the mc and zoro as the second one lol

Why are these bozos talking about Romeo ? What’s was so romantic about Sanji going all out and luffy laughing it off ?

 

[Thaidakar]

When have you entered the club

 

[Peroroncino]

Zori is the counterweight to the goofyness with his seriousness

 

[Albino 👑]

When did I say anything against that

Thread is about deuteragonist
Pretty much all I said was

1. It changes arc to arc
2. 2nd most important strawhat also depends on the arc
3. Oda stayed true with the whole protagonist thing with zoro by highlighting his strength and him being someone you wouldn’t expect to work under someone else. Similar character being ace oden and Yamato

 

[SakazOuki]

When have you entered the club

Ain’t part of no club, I just say it like I see it

 

[mly90]

Haters believe Loda is going to sacrifice Zoro dream for the rat it’s over for you guys

 

[JoNdule]

Zoro isn't that

Stop twisting it much
The concept Oda had and what he ended up doing is two different things

It zoro was what you fans wish,
His backstroke wouldn't treated like some side irrelevant background story to be told in sbs
Zoro would be beating main villains
Zoro would be the MVPs of many arc
Zoro wouldn't be less important than Law and Kid in PH, DR, Wano
The dude wasn't even important in yonko saga : missed WCI and defeated a mere YC in Wano

"I wanted a protagonist like Luffy but had to bring up Zoro to carry his ass"
