From a writing/character standpoint what’s is the best era of Zoro? When did Oda’s Pen Peak with Zoro in your opinion?


zoro was by the best character in pre timeskip

he fell off post time skip but somehow the least annoying strawhat
im fine with him aura farming or telling the crew to shut up unlike luffy keeps acting like retard , sanji perv gags , nami who just act sexy the whole arc (oda gooning ), usopp being stupid coward, robin tf does she do ? , brook perv gags, chopper lol and franky is alright.


But yh
zoro went from best character pre timeskip to oda hiding him post timeskip

I think the best of Zoro is still to come.

Currently, I'd say Enies Lobby was Zoro's best era if the entire Water 7 Saga is considered. He had good character moments across all four arcs, which you could say culminated in his most iconic moment during Thriller Bark.

Wano had more hype moments for Zoro than any other arc, but it fell short of certain expectations and plot lines. His moments in Skypiea are overlooked, despite being a lot of fun.

PT Zoro >>>> Pre Zoro.
It's just the same, but with less screen time because Oda currently has hundreds of characters per arc and 80% of the panels are for that idiot Nika.
It's incredible how a fandom repeats the same thing over and over again (that Zoro is a worse character now) and they think it's true

I can bring thousands of scenes where Zoro is also shown having fun, laughing, being an idiot or having interesting dialogues with the gang, commanding or interacting with secondary characters.

He’s a solid character tbh, it’s hard to make Zoros archetype unlikeable. Anime Swordsman are the Kings of Shonen. I do sometimes Wish he had the Keys that Kishimoto gave Sasuke. Give him more freedom to have his own story lines. I would love it if one day Zoro leaves the Strawhats and seeks out Mihawk on his own Adventure. That we follow

Before Thriller Bark, Zoro was 9/10 character.
Everything after that, he is 1/10 character
Don’t do that, The core of the character is his fighting ability, Being The strongest swordsman, he hasn’t lost sight of his dream, and his goals have remained in tact Objectively Zoro can’t be considered a bad character even if you wanted him to be. Not enough evidence in the story for that. If a characters core is in tact they can’t be considered a bad character

The moment he sacrificed himself for a clown like Luffy in TB, his character turned to shit.

W7 again tbh, it really leaned into him being a vice captain while the crew was having personal issues. It´s an important part of his character that while he is an idiot, he is supposed to be pretty mature at the end of the day...

Pre skip Zoro was built different. He was special. With Zoro he always had that aura of invincibility in pre skip. In post skip due to more structured power scaling and bunch of characters being stronger than Zoro , to some extent he lost that aura of invincibility imo.
