General & Others Zoro s confirmed to be the deuteragonist.

[Moegara]

There are so many tears in this thread. All because Oda said something that was already obvious. Delicious.

 

[Rivaille]

You are making it sound like zoro fans came up with this.


It's oda who said this that after luffy, zoro is second most important character.


I know it hurts you a lot. All your agenda is crumbling since the day Mihawk bounty was revealed....but it's okay senpai

You misunderstood. What he is saying is that Oda is a Zoro fan

 

[Roronoa-sama]

Zoro has countless goofy moments he just knows when to be serious Loda couldn't make it more clear who the real parallel is

Zoro ain't Sasuke, Killua, Vegeta

He doesn't even thrive for the same goal as Luffy
He's never taken down any major villain of the arc and won't do
He hasn't been the main guy of the arc since what? I don't even remember
He's not Luffy's RIVAL !!!

of course he is rukawa

WSJ Mcs and deutaragonists

Where the heck is my beloved Grandmaster

where is kawaki?

 

[Reborn]

He's not the 2nd most important

If he was, he'd be treated differently when Law and Kid are around, and not be just another underling

When you start realising concepts pr what Oda wished to do and what he's done are two different things then you'll understand

Take your complaints to oda because he said it.

Until then, it doesn't matter what you or anyone else thinks, oda words are facts and we have to go with it.

You can be in denial like few others and be salty or be a man and admit you were wrong and go with what author says.

It's really surprising how much insecure people got just because oda said Zoro is second most important character which was obvious from the beginning...lol

Classic two piece readers...

Believe in headcannon

And, when oda shatters that bubble


They either start questioning the author himself or translator lol

- Eiichiro Oda recently "Around this time (before OnePiece), I was proud of having already imagined a character like Luffy as the main character. Next, I thought I would like to make a supporting character into a main character. I believed that if we had two main characters, we would be able to secure a serialization spot. Ryuma is that character, created with the aim of being the "#2" main character." (Translation :

Meh

Both author and translator are zoro fan boi thus biased and wrong.

I know better.

I have never actually understood the Zoro hate, people talk all about things like character development, personality, conflicts and shit but at the end it just seems to boil down to Zoro being stronger or confirmed projected to be stronger than their fave and the hate is simply due to power scaling.

@nik87 your three triggers argument grows even stronger

Lol, none of them are.

 

[vikas]

One piece wouldn't be popular if not for zoro....

Debatable

 

[Gol D. Roger]

OP definitely wouldn't be as popular as it is today without Zoro.

The only other character who'd impact OP's popularity is Luffy. Any other character has negligible influence on this matter.

In term of impact yes, Zoro is important. But not in the story.

Relatively* he is very important, but his role is less of a pivot than others.

Debatable

I think initially zoro carried the series.... Luffy was boring for majority case initially if looking at him alone. Others were good but meh(I think nami was good). Mihawk also created hype earlier but that too is thanks to zoro. I think I would nit have stuck around if it was just luffy doing gomu gomu stuff... I remember not caring about it at all..

 

[Logiko]

Absolutely not.

There is - granted - a big Zoro fanbase. But the impact of the story is not really that determined by the presence of Zoro. There are a LOT MORE factors before Zoro to keep the fanbase going.

Luffy was boring for majority case.

For the wannabee haters of worstgen maybe. But Luffy is the hearth of the story. Its through him that the big moments are shining.

The testosterone niche of Worstgen is not representative of the overall fanbase.

One Piece would lose in quality without the presence of Zoro, but One Piece would not be possible and be popular without Luffy.

 

[Foul Legacy]

Jesus christ

Now Zoro isn't Ryuma.

 

[Zenos7]

Not even Sasuke is a Deuteragonist.

Sasuke is one of the antagonist of the Naruto story.

Lul

 

[Redboy776]

I sleep good at night knowing zoro haters dont sleep.

 

[Logiko]

Lul

This term is just not pertinent.

 

[Zenos7]

With Zolo, that ''may'' can never happen. Under no circumstances Zolo can oppose his captain Luffy. Being loyal underling to Luffy is part of his character now, thats why Zolo can't be a deuteragonist, he has no chance to oppose Luffy. Another thing that separates Zolo from Ryuma.

So you dont know what may means. Gotcha
