Now that Egghead has seemingly concluded, can we say that swordsman fans and (or rather Zoro fans) have never taken this level of L's before? Like, ZKK we could call a "L" but at least Zoro got roof top on Wano (even if it was just Oden doing all the damage and scarring Kaido etc etc, it still counts).
But after Wano the L's for Zoro fans got multiplied, with so many swordsmen getting clowned. Lets do a tally of the damages sword fans have taken:
The clowning of the Worlds Strongest Swordsman, Mihawk:
-Subordinate/underling of Buggy
Sweating at the thought of fighting Yonkos:
I wouldn't even believed it, but even Oda is joining in the fun of clowning Mihawk seemingly:
And the most devastating L for Zoro/Mihawk fans personally would this:
Mihawk/Zoro fans were hiding under the idea of Zoro-Mihawk duel taking place at the very end of the series and as the last fight.....Last fight...Last opponent is always stronger....Powercreep, nope! Zoro-Mihawks fight is taking place on Laugh Tale, which is guaranteed before the final war.....Which means his not the strongest swordsman (more on this later) and his title is just cosmetic....But at the same time Oda has decided to uplift the character Mihawk/Zoro fans have the fear of god in, the character they leach feats off of, whilst at the same time absolutely fearing....And that is Shanks who is uplifted into Rogers spot...Also has vastly better feats, portrayal, favouritism from the author and off course the most feared idea is that he will inevitably overshadow Mihawk due to connections with Luffy...... Wow! A double whammy of L in 1 chapter pretty much....
But Shanks and Luffy aside, we're talking about Zoro fans/swordsman fans here, and sadly, this still doesn't even scratch the surface of L's they took this arc.....Which brings us into Zoro himself:
Where should I begin?
"ZKK 2 - Zoro Kills Kizaru" many Zoro fans really were hoping for Zoro to 1v1 a admiral this arc...."Its Kizaru! He has a sword! Did you see how crazy Zoro was in Wano?! His obviously admiral level!!!! 2v1? Hahaha nah Zoro doesn't need Lanji, he is alone enough for a mere admiral like Kizaru, Zoro has the AP to them!!! Kizaru has a light sword!! He fought the right hand of the previous pirate king!! Its too obvious Luffy V Saturn Zoro V Kizaru"
Result: Doesn't even see Kizaru, Luffy gets made to fight not just Kizaru....Not just Saturn....But Kizaru + Saturn at the same time instead!
"Zoro V Lucci" - Few things can be as humiliating as being made to finish off another character leftovers, but making it a extreme diff 20 chapter fight (whilst Luffy sleep defeated him), and not even winning in the end?! Now thats just evil
If that wasn't enough, Oda wasn't done.....
Which brings us on to Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro.....Venus.....The once hoped "strongest" gorosei....He succeeded in embarassing Zoro....He succeeded in overshadowing Mihawk......And then he takes both of them down with him in a gigantic L from getting speedblitz by Sanji to getting speedblitz by Atlas, and if that wasn't enough....The most damning L of all:
Getting wifi haki diffed green bulled by a 800 year old dead guys haki
Mihawk, Nusjuro, Zoro all 3 of the strongest swordsmen (supposedly) taken a triple L....Its like getting hit with Hakai for sword fans
And Oda didn't stop there!
Zoro is using Odens haki and doesn't have conquerors himself - confirmed
-The guy that extreme diffed Green Bull and ended up in the hospital, Fujitora is a swordsmans with the same grade of weapon as Mihawks "supreme grade black blade" Yoru - confirmed (Yakuza Firing Line is a very cool name though).
With this long and devastating list of L's sword fans have taken this arc....Is it safe to say that Egghead really was a doomsday tier threat for swordsman fans?
