that's literally what an mc is bro
he's insecure about goofy's poll results yeah. but that doesn't mean he shafted zoro lol.
the world popularity poll ended on february 2021. and guess when rooftop happened? after that lol. zoro was wanked to high heavens on rooftop. he legit looked way better than goofy did
you just fell into the insane cope from zorotards that oda shafts zoro lol
I'll give you an example of how insecure Oda is.
>Zoro literally permanently scars Hybrid Kaidou's body, something the combined output of the Scabbards attacking together couldn't do, a feeling Kaidou had been searching for decades, something Kaidou had PTSD for his entire career over. Yet....it's treated like a footnote when Zoro does it.
>Meanwhile Luffy gives Base Kaidou a lip bleed, and he starts seeing Xebec and Roger. Legit starts panicking.
Oda goes out of his way to minimize Zoro's feats as much as he possibly can, while glorifying far inferior feats from Luffy.
This is a telltale sign of manipulating your audience to favour one character over the other. He knows Zoro is pulling off the greater feat, he is obliged to give Zoro this feat but he does not want to give it its due respect, due to the fear that it might overshadow Luffy if even for just a moment.
His writing doesn't lie, he is insecure af. He actively sabotages Zoro when it comes to portrayal so he doesn't overlap with Luffy. He's not letting the audience decide what is more impressive, he is manipulating his audience to favour one character over the other.
