True. I mean I get it, YYH ended well before most the people on this site got into anime and I doubt many people on the forum read its manga lmao.
I rewatched it on yt and netflix

True. Hiei deserves to be in this conversation. That man was on demon time constantly.
If i remember the nice pretty looking guy actually was more brutal
 
For sure, zoro is the prime aura merchant, he hasn't going on anything else.
Compared to sasuke and vegeta is also weird does people drive the plot on their own.
More apt comparison would be like someone like kenpachi

I wouldn't say that but you're right he's mainly the guy who gets hype feats and what not
I still believe he's well written though. He's clearly not "just" the main muscle of the crew

A character can be well-written without alot of going on, Kenpachi is also a well written character. Shanal already wrote it down for me perfectly what I mean:
Have his ambitions and goals independent of MC. And more often than not, be the one who actually drives the plot while the other main characters (including Naruto) are in the passenger seat only reacting to things he pulls and obsessing over him harder than SHs obsess over Luffy.

The same is not true for other two... someone like Zoro is almost entirely a reactionary character and barely, if not entirely incapable of ever driving the plot. Vegata was bit better here, though, but still dependent on Goku.

If you want to say Sasuke's ambitions are driven by lies of others, then that is fair (although stops being the case after Itachi's truth is out). But it being influenced by a 3rd side-character made with little purpose but to serve Sasuke's development is better than a character having 90% of their screen-time and actions and often even goals be either entirely dependent on the titular character or be driven by them.

Like almost everything Vegeta does in the entire original series can be boiled down to, "Muh surpass Goku, muh inferior to Goku. Goku goku goku." It isn't until Buu saga that he grows some hint of character independence. Gods bless Bulma and Trunks.

Zoro was a lot better when it came to this. Although he has been almost just as awful since time-skip, "Muh PK. Luffy gon PK! MUST MAKE IT ABOUT LUFFY EVEN IN THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENTS OF MY OWN AMBITIONS CUZ MUH CAPTAIN PK!"
Its like comparing Gojo to Guts. Vegeta was like that too after his introduction (or rather after namek) but he grows out of it in the final saga. Its just, especially after TS, oda is writing clearly the SHs with specific purposes (as he has a rather large cast to opposed to other mangaka)
Zoro is a 100% auxiliary character to Luffy from start to finish. In more ways than other SH are. If you want my in-depth thoughts about zoro as in for the last 17 years i went a little bit in-depth on it here:

I actually even refer to hitsugaya here which his even a better comparison, who is also regarded as "well written" character
 
Neither
He’s just cringe/edgy especially with that infamous wano line

I don’t even wanna type it cause it’s so ass

Zoro just tries too hard. Oda is a bit too out of touch with what’s cool and not nowadays especially since he’s pretty old himself. but when you’re a fan service character with a mostly prepubescent male and man children fanbase, anything you do would seem “cool”

Don’t get me started on sasuke and vegeta’s character development compared to the green haired fan service character

Zoro is barely even that . For someone who’s the “2nd mc” he sure has less development than even Sanji

He’s not fucking with these 2

Oh yeah I never said he was perfect or anything, Oda definitely missed some opportunities with him, but I still believe he's relatively well written for a guy who's supposed to be solely the fighter of the crew.
Though I'm admittedly not sure if he or Vegeta are anywhere near Sasuke in terms of writing/design/etc., purely because I'm not a big Naruto fan in the first place, but if this were between just Zoro and Vegeta I'd probably pick Zoro.
