2nd World One Piece Character Popularity Poll announced!!

>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.
the fuck?

kaido literally praised zoro for that lol. And zoro did that shit right after blocking a combined attack from meme and kaido and had every bone in his body broken.

Oda literally used Law as a reaction hype man for that. I haven't forgotten that shit. And you shouldn't too if you actually are a Law fan.

>Meanwhile Luffy gives Base Kaidou a lip bleed, and he starts seeing Xebec and Roger. Legit starts panicking.
which does basically zero damage lol. goofy got swatted like a fly multiple times. Like, you remember why zoro had to use asura and scar kaido? because his worthless captain was laying on the ground knocked out with white eyes lmao

Oda goes out of his way to minimize Zoro's feats as much as he possibly can, while glorifying far inferior feats from Luffy.
Oda went out of his way to give multiple excuses for zoro not doing more against kaido and he STILL had zoro scar kaido lol

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.
It's a telltale sign of oda liking zoro a lot.

compare the rooftop to poor sanjino fans lmao. poor fuckers would kill to even have 1/10th of the hype zoro got in rooftop

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.
You and i must have read different rooftops cause Zoro shined way more than goofy did lol.
Zoro legit saved goofy's life at least 3 times from kaido. Like literally.

You missed the point entirely, Zoro objectively is performing superior feats, Oda is still managing to glorify far inferior Luffy feats while minimizing Zoro's from a portrayal perspective. He is not giving the feat even close to the portrayal weight it deserves, a little snarky comment after a dude perma scarred you something only his boyfriend Oden did and he can't stop dreaming about, something just moments before the combined output of the entire scabbards couldn't do. And Zoro gets a small little pat on the head? Lol get real, you're delusional if you think Oda isn't doing his best to make sure Zoro's feats are minimized in verse.

Since the first WT100 poll voting concluded at the end of February 2021, it occurred before Chapters 1009 and 1010, which were the peak of Zoro's Rooftop moments: blocking Kaido & Big Meme's combined attack, scarring Kaido with Ashura, and confirming CoC. Chapters 1009 and 1010 were released between late March and early April.

I wonder if those chapters would have changed anything.
that's exactly my point lol

The world popularity poll had top 5 results available the whole time too. So oda didn't need to wait till february to know that Zoro was super close to goofy.

and still, zoro got insane feats on rooftop that was better than anything goofy showed

If the conspiracy theories by zorotards were true, oda would not have done any of that shit lol. Making kaido knowck out goofy or eat goofy only for zoro to rescue him, making zoro block an attack from 2 yonko, making zoro scar kaido. None of these are oda shafting zoro

But zorotards think oda hates zoro because their retarded dumb dogshit wet dream of a theory did not happen

Hilarious how far their delusions go lol

Curiously, Nami has been the most popular OP character in some countries...
Pretty obviously they inflated her numbers. She got more votes in the last 3 days then she got throughout the voting process. She was on 200000 votes with Sanji on like 800000 and she suddenly bridged the gap in 3 days. Absolute BS.

Brother feats matter a hell of a lot than portrayal

Like, it goes feats>portrayal in pretty much every single powerscaling debates. Only in the absence of feats does portrayal matter

You just fell for the temple psy-op lmao

I agree that Oda clearly goes too far with the Luffy glaze, but I seriously doubt that he was going to do ZKK before popularity poll happened. Oda would obviously know that if he was going to have Zoro kill such a major antagonist he would be the most popular character among the fandom, especially since Oda has known how popular Zoro is for like 20 years.
(still, he should have gotten more in the country of Samurai)

You can...maybe make the argument for Law vs Doflamingo, but even then, Doffy was probably created as a Luffy opponent, with the Law connection only coming later.

Oda doesn't hate Zoro, the issue is his love for Luffy is stronger than anything else. He will sabotage Zoro, Law doesn't matter who it is, if they fly too close to the sun. Oda knows how popular Zoro is. With a natural push Zoro could easily have placed first in a couple polls already but that is Oda's biggest fear. He purposefully keeps his full potential grounded. He'll throw Zoro fans a bone here and there, that's about it.

I literally gave you an irrefutable example of one feat objectively infinitely more impressive during the same fight, and Oda made sure to highlight Luffy's shitty feats more.

YEAH CONDOM IS THE FUCKING MC

How are you not getting this lol. It's GoofyPiece. Not ZoroPiece.

I literally gave you counter examples of "sabotage" by oda in regards to the polls. Zoro did all the rooftop shit after the world popularity poll concluded and zoro was closer to goofy than he ever was on a poll lol.

If your retarded conspiracy theory was true, then oda would not have let zoro shine better than goofy or show zoro saving goofy multiple times right after the poll results were released.


A bone? lol.

Goofy gets like 3 full course meals. Zoro gets 1 full course meal. sanji gets like half a meal. The rest of the shp clowns get basically nothing.

that's how it's been since the start of the timeskip. Trying to argue that zoro gets nothing but bones is delusional, entitled and just straight up pathetic lol.

Even in elfab. Look at how they have performed so far. goofy used his ultimate form for a fucking snake, while zoro didn't even use a named move for the crow that's on the same level as that snake.
Goofy used g4 and sanji used his ultimate power ifrit for a cat while zoro used a mid tier move.
Goofy got manhandled by gaben and zoro literally blocked gaben's slash that was gonna hit goofy. And oda did not draw zoro getting manhandled by gaben.



you said oda sabotages zoro and law for goofy? oda literally made Law into zoro's hypeman in 1010.
and oda had to make up the insane feat of blocking 2 yonko and then using all his strength to scar kaido to get zoro out from the rooftop. meanwhile oda just relegated Law to a yonko he didn't even have ANY connection with at all lol.

goofy gets special treatment yeah. He's the mc. it's expected.
But zoro gets nearly the same level of special treatment.

Everyone else comes after those two. Even Law who actually did beat zoro in a poll.



You know what actually is more plausible than your copium theory about zoro?

Law getting shafted by oda after the 5th poll. The 5th poll was published in the middle of Dressrosa. Law got second and actually came within less than 400 votes of first place goofy.

And then Law went on to become a secondary opponent for Doffy and had to watch while goofy defeated his ultimate enemy.

Hes not on about feats and portrayal from our perspective.

But in story
