So I'm watching Tekking's latest video titled "Strawhat dreams- Difficulty rating" and he's having his usual banter talking about Luffy being pirate king, All blue, Drawing a world map and then he gets to Zoro. He admits "Zoro's dream is the most straightforward" and it is. Then he starts talking about the usual nonsense about Shiryu killing Mihawk and I'm like whatever. But then he breaksdown and says "maybe Oda will just have some straw hats abandon their dreams or fail to accomplish them by EoS" specifically referring to Zoro.
And I'm like TF is shit? I mean I know this argument about Zoro failing to become WSS or Zoro no longer wants to be WSS has existed in forums but I never expected it to be so widespread that Tekking even starts stuttering in his own video because of this idea.
Since the biggest one piece youtuber seems to think this is a possibility, I'd like to make an actual dedicated post to this ridiculous idea. Why do people think any straw hat will fail at their dreams or even abandon their dream and why is it specifically Zoro people pick out for this despite having THE MOST STRAIGHTFORWARD dream of all?
I mean Tekking clearly never gave this point a lot of thought despite leaving it in his video. His train of thought was like, "Mihawk trained Zoro so Mihawk would go easy on Zoro so that fight wouldn't be satisfying so Oda will have Shiryu kill Mihawk so that Zoro will fight a guy he just met for his final fight and not someone built up for decades and Shiryu would've only won because apparently invisibility is OP so Zoro would just need ONE STAT to beat Shiryu since Shiryu is weaker than Mihawk but with just one specific stat advantage and that's it but this is extremely lame so maybe Zoro just won't be WSS or he'll have a tremendous change in character in these last five years of the manga and abandon his dream"
And at the end Tekking realises kinda how even lamer this is and just says "But who doesn't want to see Zoro be WSS honestly"
Now I could've left this be as a simple goof by Tekking if this wasn't an actual thing people seem to believe already.
So I'll ask those people who believe this why exactly Zoro's dream is the special one or Zoro's character is the special one where his dream isn't important enough to strive for or maybe too hard to achieve or his character is supposedly headed for a great change that he's the only strawhat who will abandon his dream right at the end of the series?

Not on their life. Zoro will be. Just like the rest of the Strawhats. Unless Oda really changes how he does things....
