To each his own I guess.
I have thoroughly expressed my reasons in the battledome countless times, so I'd prefer not doing it again. Not here at least.
This is just a gear system.
1.You like Zoro so you try to make him stronger by any possible way.
2. You like him even more so you try to find more and more convoluted ways to make him stronger
Etc... etc... I mean how can we think that the main character of a shonen manga is weaker than his first mate.
I've been discussing One Piece for a "long" time. I learnt to tolerate the Zoro = Luffy even if I personally think it is simply wrong. But I cant accept the Zoro > Luffy.
This is unhealthy to think like that, especially for a "science nerd"
