Honestly, I wanted to wait a couple of days before making this thread because, obviously, Zoro fanboys are going through a mental crisis right now. But then I remembered:
A) The current L is too big for them to recover from in just a few days.
B) They are eternally butthurt anyway.
So, on to the topic. Oda has once again given us another Zoro and Sanji parallel, putting them as equals, doubling down on what’s been established since Little Garden with the Dorry and Brogy parallel , 2 giants fighting for a century to a draw. How much more obvious can it get? But we all know Zoro fans sometimes hate canon material.
In two weeks, we’ll have Gaban vs. Luffy. The question is: will Gaban show ACoC during that chapter/Later in this arc? If he shows it, that means Sanji will have it too. That’s a big L for Zoro fans because they’ve sworn Sanji won’t get it, claiming he’s not “Conqueror material” and won’t be one of the strongest/Top Tier in the verse in the end.
If Gaban doesn’t show it, the chances of Sanji having it will probably go down. But that’s still a big L for Zoro fans because, in the end, Zoro with ACoC, with three legendary black blades, and with a lifetime of training, including being taught by Mihawk (allegedly the top 1, according to you) , will still be equal to Sanji, who doesn’t have any of that.
Regardless of whether you like it or not, soon you’ll take the biggest L of your life.
But which L do you prefer: Sanji having ACoC Like Zoro or Sanji not having ACoC and still be equal to Zoro ?
My advice: pray very hard that Oda gives Gaban ACoC. Otherwise, Zoro will end up looking like the biggest joke in One Piece . And no amount of headcanon, denial, or mental gymnastics will save you from that reality.
