Questions & Mysteries Is Zolo's dream dead?

#41
It has to do with the fact that Zoro said that he wants to be so famous that his name would reach the heavens, but after 1100 chapters, only Luffy and Brook have achieved this. Simple as.
The WSS's name has not reached the heavens, as the Gorosei do not discuss Mihawk ever as far as I know
So Zoro’s goal isn’t to be WSS then… since being WSS doesn’t give him the fame he wants?

Zoro backstory and dream is very little know



1)why does he want to be strong ?

2)why did he want to be the strongest swordsman (he said it before kuina died ) ?

3)why does he mean it will reach the heveans ?

4)we know zoro wasn’t born or from shimotsuki village so what did he after his mother death and before he joined the dojo ?

5) when he officially leave the dojo ?
1. We don't know
2. We don't know
3. Guess he just wants Kuina to know he became the World's Strongest Swordsman even in the afterlife
4. Actually it was confirmed in the SBS that he does have a Shimotsuki lineage, and therefore the Shimotsuki village was likely his 1st home. The whole "traveling to every dojo" nonsense is pure anime filler.
5. We don't know

The fact we know so little about Zoro irks me. Wano should on further extrapolate on Zoro as a character.

Imo, Zoro's name reaching the heavens is supposed to be poetic.

I think it's something like clashing with Mihawk, splitting the heavens themselves or fighting against Nusjuro, one of the leaders that reigns over the heavens.

Or Zoro could pull a cool one-liner of something like this:




Something like that.

I don’t think it’s bullshit because zoro himself doesn’t know he is shimotsuki and as far as we can tell the dojo and others didn’t knew zoro is shimotsuki. If zoro originally lived with his mother before she died then I can see it he was travelling and living with himself at young age

Possible, but what are the odds that he ends back up and stay at the place connected to his blood lineage, and I took Zoro's lack of knowledge on his familial roots is moreso to do with him not giving a crap about it and being an orphan. I think as far as the other villagers in the Shimotsuki village is concerned, they never really show knowledge nor the lack thereof that he's a Shimotsuki as it wasn't relevant to the flashback. One thing for sure though is that Zoro traveling dojo to dojo is an anime exclusive detail as I just took a peek at chapter 5, and there's no mention of Zoro doing as such.

So we know from early on in OP, Zoro's dream was to become such a great master swordsman that his name reaches the heavens

1100 chapters later, and we finally have the people from the heavens talk about the SH, and they only talk about Luffy...

Oh wait, my bad. It isn't just Luffy's name that reached the heavens, but Brooks

So what gives? Will OP need to continue for another 30 years for Zolo to do what Luffy and Brook have already achieved?
But is that even realistic? I don't think so. First of all, Zolo couldn't even become famous in the samurai country,

Even Zolo's own ancestor, who was one of Lord Momonosukes ancestors top subjects, is compared to Luffy.

Second of all, lets think of the parallels, which is an important part of this manga
As we all know, Luffy is a parallel to Roger, the pirate king, but who is the parallel to Rogers second in command, Rayleigh, the dark king?
Well clearly it's Brook, the Soul King

The similarities between the two are endless
Both are interested in Women(Zolo is either asexual or homosexual)
Both are called "Kings" by the general public(Calling yourself a king without anyone recognizing it is missing the point)
Both are famous worldwide(Rayleighs name is in many books and Brook is a famous musician)
Both are sword wielders

So at this point, can Zoro hope to compete with Luffy the famous captain and his copilot Brook? That wouldn't make sense, since Brook and the Luffy are flying the plane while Zolo and Sanji are busy being the wings. This is a parallel to Cross Guild, where Buggy the captain has no right hand man, just two wings standing directly below him

The current arc is a good example of this, while Brook is standing up to Gunko the Warlord slayer(Zolos EOS goal) Zoro is busy hiding in the woods from her while assaulting an injured and imprisoned man. But out of Odas deep respect for Kushina, not only is Zolo hiding from a women who could easily neg him, Robin, the crews number 3 and a parallel to Rogers number 3(Gaban) is protecting him

So, welcome to the end game of One Piece, where Brook and Robin are the top Strawhats other then Luffy, fighting against the arc villains while Zoro is getting kidnapped by Road. My only question is if Alvida will need to protect Mihawk from the WG at some point, though it only seems obvious.

I feel like the main reason why zoro doesn’t give a crap because he doesn’t his roots well. He was likely orphan so he ended not giving a damn about his bloodline. The fact he knows his paternal surname “roronoa “ at least gives me a hint he had connections with his mother. The mother probably told him his full name
