I just wanted to know if Zoro 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation is split into two attacks?
Like in the case of Pica, where he cut the stone with one attack and then finished Pica with another.
In the case of Zoro, in anime (not canon). He slices the fire dragon first and then chops King's.
So is it two attacks in one? Or just one attack ?
Zoro used 2 different attacks against Pica.
Ichidai sanzen daisen sekai (the upgrade version) to cut the golem in half and Ichidai sanzen sekai (the original version) to finish Pica.
Zoro can parry and attack the things in the way before delivering the main attack. Just like the first time we saw Asura, or when he parried T-Bone's attack and finish using the 3ss Gyuki....yuzume, or maybe like the first time he used Shi shishi sonson to cut the dragon's head and we dont see the spin anymore.
Like cleaning the the table before delivering the dish or like having side dish with the main dish. And Zoro also cut the dragon before cutting King in the manga, we could see him before cutting King.
Sometimes there can be some little variations to the techniques but to see if the move is a real variation or if it is a part of the technique itself, Zoro needs to use the technique more than once. Too bad, there are some techniques that he doesnt use often.
