I feel like it should be obvious 1100+ chapters into the story but yeah zoro isn’t that isn’t the case


Just like the rumors for every other character him being some cold calculated demon is just that a rumor. Sure to characters that don’t actually know them they can seem true just like with law or Jinbe etc but the point is they



The whole point of his introduction is to prove that shit wrong. That’s the whole reason luffy decided that he wanted him to join

Also zoro word is not law. No matter how logical and emotionless he tries to come off in certain situations a lot of the times even he himself doesn’t fully agree with what he says lol



What zoro says isn’t always right and that’s okay because the crew is bigger than just him. All their opinions are just as valuable and depending on the situation any of them can take the lead or advise luffy/the crew
  1. He was wrong about not trusting nami and believing she truly was evil enough to kill usopp
  2. He was pretty calm and collected when robin left not leaning one way or another. Tho he was convinced she was an enemy when she lied to them about betraying them
  3. He was right to not just want usopp to just freely rejoin without apologizing to the point Sanji disagreed with nami to say he’s right. At the same time it wasn’t like he was cold to usopp or didn’t care if he rejoined. He just as much as any other crew member was waiting for usopp to come back and rejoin
  4. He’s straight up just tsundere with sanji. Despite talking all big about how they should just leave him and how the situation was sanji’s fault in his argument with nami he was just trying to hide his actual feelings. Luffy himself even calling him out on being worried


While confident in his strength he constantly dogs on himself about being to weak and how every failure is because he’s not good enough. Even when the situation isn’t even really his fault
With Zoro always trying to come off as strong even when he doesn’t need to. To the point he can come off as cold despite not actually meaning what he says. Zou being a clear example of him saying 1 thing but deep down meaning the other. Punk hazard being another example of him being extremely hard on himself that he projects it out.




Just because zoro can speak seemingly very matter of fact doesn’t mean doesn’t mean he’s not going to be one of the first people to try and fuck shit up. Wano being an amazing example lol. He was the first strawhat in wano and onigashima to start shit while judging other characters for doing the same as a gag. Man’s reckless as hell when he’s left by himself lol

Also to get it out the way zoro and sanji obviously don’t hate each other. Like if you genuinely somehow believe they don’t have immense mutual respect for each other and their strength idk what to tell you. Zoro respects himself too much to compete, bicker, and compare himself to someone he didn’t respect



Man’s also a softy
Characters that don’t know him thinking he’s just some cold monster don’t know him. If he was he wouldn’t get along with the stawhats. Mans a very protective guy, that doesn’t like seeing innocent people get hurt, and doesn’t like fighting people he deems defenseless

He’s also weirdly kinda sexist which isn’t really important it just really bothers me thinking about it
:sanmoji:




He a lil bit stupid too. Which is fine but similar to luffy he’s just kinda slow lol. Calling them dumb isn’t a negative they just are



All that being said that doesn’t mean zoro can’t be “demonic” like or smart or give good advice cause all that is true to an extent. The thing is he’s more than that. He’s not some Gary Stu invincible badass without character flaws. He’s not the only strawhat that matters outside of luffy because they’re all equally as important and that’s okay

Introduction: too strong and dangerous for even Luffy to recruit
Reality: a really nice guy that saves little kids he does not even know

Koby is just repeating the stories that he heard of Zoro.
Obviously anyone who faced him or saw him demolish his opponents would get the impression that he is a demon in human form.
Especially when they harmed kids and Zoro was taking his anger out on them.
So there is truth in his reputation.
He fights like a demon, but he is not a bad guy at all.

There is not much to get about Zoros characters beyond that.
He looks tough and intimidating on the outside and is actually a really honorable and helpful guy on the inside.
Does that mean he is not a demon? No. He still fights like one and has a strong demon theme around his swordstyle.

This thread is: "We absolutely do not get it and neither should you".

Yeah, Oda really emphasized it when he had Zoro bandage Tashigi's arm and carry her to safety back in Punk Hazard.

Those are the moments we need more of. Who cares about badass moments? There are plenty of those, but a caring Zoro? More of that, please.

I personally want more zoro angst
Getting emotional, frustrated, confused, etc. type shit. Break him down to build him back up bigger and better

I need him to struggle to hold back his tears
:josad::steef::josad:

I know a lot of people are gonna say they’d hate the idea of zoro being emotional or how it somehow doesn’t make sense for him to cry but he really is an emotional man and that’s okay. They’ll also be the first to say how much they wanted to see it happen and how zoro is the best written character if it does lol
:sanmoji:
He just tries his hardest to prevent himself from fully showing his “negativeemotions. Especially when he’s trying to keep a strong face for the crew
The man gets scared he’s also extremely hard on himself never thinking he’s good or strong enough. Even when shits out of his control he’d be one of the first to blame themselves for not doing

Man I just want angst lol. I don’t have immense expectations but still. Hopefully we get something if the zoro vs sanji plot line continues with the germa genes taking over
