Lolden couldn't even use basic CoO properly. Never used his hyped CoC and the first time he tried to clash with a top tier he was reminded quickly why he's no more than Commander.

Bushido is the conduct code followed by samurai.

-Vivi calls him Mr. Bushido
-the chapter he defeats Daz Bones allegedly using Ryou is entitled Mr. Bushido
-his very look post TS is quite "samurai-sh"
According to one piece, Samurai = Swordsman from Wano. Zoro is a swordsman who is currently in Wano, which is why a Wano native called him a samurai. This never happened anywhere else because samurai don't exist outside of Wano, per one piece lore. Zoro is a swordsman currently cosplaying as a samurai at best

Zoro could be considered a Samurai because his backstory, yet to be explained, has close ties with Wano. He also parallels Ryuuma who is the Sword God of Wano, was introduced on Wano as a Ronin (a wandering Samurai), and was stated by Oda in an SBS that he represents Japan.

So while he may not be a concrete Samurai, he's being portrayed as such and by the End of Wano he'll be a Samurai in the eyes of Kaido and the general Wano population regardless.

It comes down to semantics really. Does it matter if Zoro isn't a true Samurai if everyone thinks he is and we all know the person Kaido is referring to is Zoro? Compare Zoro to other swordsmen not from Wano such as Law and see how many times they've been called a Samurai.

Shimotsuki village was founded by people from Wano who spread out their culture out of Wano.
He was raised in a samurai dojo to fight as a samurai by ppl who are samurai.
It is literally Shimotsuki clan spreading their culture from Wano to East Blue and in their culture, a guy like Zoro, is a samurai.

Yeah, because she thought he was from Wano. They don't know that there's outsiders in Wano.

Fantastic. Still not a Samurai. Samurai have a code of honor, a certain culture, etc... Zoro has nothing to do with that. The guy was a bounty hunter killing people for money.

Ashura Doji says hello. The samurai who plundered, murdered and what not. To ppl of Wano, Zoro is a samurai, to ppl of Shimotsuki village he is also a samurai.
