Anyways, Zoro refused to slice Dorry and Brogy when he had the chance and people think that even in the air he was between them, what are we thinking?
I've seen a few post regarding this and they're saying that Zoro might've hit the ground between them (the angle of the panel where he uses Clear Lance is framed weirdly) which could count

Now I'm personally completely against the idea of any Strawhat being Domi Reversi'd cause I think it's lame. It's just unneeded "tension" and we know these guys aren't dying in the process anyway so it's pointless

But I'm sure there are some people here that are all for it if it leads to a potential powerup

Sanji literally exists in function of Zoro to them
Only half true. Zoro's really mainly brought up when they're discussing things related to power

I'm a pretty big Sanji fan and I do think their dynamic is integral to both of them character wise but I do wish in powerscaling discussions they let Sanji stand alone

When it comes to powerscaling and matchups

If you go back and look (not very far this pretty much just happened) you can find pages upon pages of them arguing about the exoskeleton, the raid suit, and whether he's accepted himself or not

Sanji fans only regularly bring up Zoro when it comes to those 2 things I first mentioned which just so happen to be hot topics at the moment
 
Like I said unserious. The art is just ass. No stakes or emotion.

Like a comic book instead of a manga.
isn't manga a Japanese comic book?
anyway it's funny how zoro's attack is the least understood, either it's teleporting to behind with a cool ass pose....and opponents at beck sliced up, just enough to look brutal and non fatal or shit like this zoomed out and doing what pose? and how it hits...like how even is crossing of six paths really done, in anime we just get close up of his face or just camera pans to anywhere but them and next thing same as in manga

zoro Vs Mr 1, shishio sonson same shit

zoro Vs kaku, asura attack...same shit

zoro Vs king, dragon damnation...I mean 10/10 episode but we don't see how it happened...

zoro Vs Lucci again same shit we don't see him spinning or whatever he does in that attack

:few:
 
I clicked on the cuckji fanclub by mistake, the topics are next to each other and...is all they do is talk about Zoro in there? :risisure:

Sanji fans are so stupid

They want sanji to be on same footing as Zoro and then tries to downplay him, these retards don't have brian or what

True.

I was thinking more Denis the Menace or Where's wally with the comparison.

Very scruffy artwork as of late by Oda.

Oda is asscheeks with fight choreography. Even more so with Swordsmen.

Bet he invented acoc so he doesn't have to think fights through anymore.

"OMG they're not touching" proceeded by off screen piece and narration saying they fought for 5 to 10 days. That's all EoS battles.
 
@Boiroy @HA001 why you keep visiting the shithole?
@Welkin Not really want Zoro to remind Imu of Ryuma, the parallel stuff was done and dusted in Wano by Kawamatsu and Hyogoro. Zoro has Shimotsuki lineage but thats it. For narrative and authors intentions the real benchmark is Mihawk.
I kinda have the same take just wanted to ask the bigger Zoro fans around here

I think Oda connects far too many characters for my liking. I'd prefer if Zoro did more of his own thing to add legitimacy to him one day claiming the title of WSS

That's why even though it didn't bother me as much as others (like Seth for example) I'll always say giving Zoro a direct tie to the Shimotsuki was a mistake especially since nothing actually came of it. One of the greatest themes in OP is the concept of inherited will

Zoro already inherited the will of the Shimotsuki through Kuina and the Wado Ichimonji. Now he's an actual member of their family and a descendant of Ryuma. It doesn't destroy his character or anything but I was a fan of the idea that Zoro being the spitting image of Ryuma was just a funny coincidence

If Oda wanted to make Zoro a Shimotsuki that should've been explored in Wano and it just... wasn't like at all. Made the whole connection pointless honestly

He is still his own guy and Not known as member of this and that Family But Pirate Hunter (despite Not Doing this anymore lol)

He's his own guy don't get me wrong I know that

But it feels wrong to tie him to such a prominent family in Wano and a character like Ryuma if you're not gonna do anything with it

Luffy's connection with Dragon and Garp make sense especially Garp. He shares Garp's mannerisms, his ties to Garp are used to explain why Kuzan let's the Strawhats go, and the drama in Marineford couldn't exist without a connection between Luffy, Garp, and Ace

Zoro on the other hand is confirmed as a Shimotsuki and it feels like there's setup for something regarding that throughout Wano. Connection to Yasuie (who he doesn't get to avenge), referred to as the spitting image of Ryuma by Kawamatsu and Hygoro, his uncle (?) was a major figure in Yamato's flashback, Zoro talked about visiting Ryuma's grave

All the puzzle pieces were there but Oda decided not to put them together. But if that was his plan from the start then why make him a Shimotsuki in the first place? Nothing about his story changes as a result

Oda doesn't dare to use Zoro's full potential bc Goofy is the MC. He laid the groundwork for a character more dangerous than the MC (and everyone else) and now has to shackle him by plot every fucking arc so the MC is not overshined.

At the same time Oda can't resist to give clues of his inner conflict.
 
I just hope the hater keep downplaying zoro.

What oda did in God valley still shock me.

He competely cleared Garps repulation in God valley, he made him litteraly attack his Boss who Boss Kong who Boss Sengoku.

Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom run from him.

Today the hater of Garp have no argument, only shame and humiliation with how they were exposed by Oda in the flashback.

Goalpost? They can't do that untill we see the true strenght of Joy Boy, Davy Jones, Imu even even then Garp was never stated to be comparable to these three but among his generation he was at the peak allong Roger, Rock.

That aside the more they dowplay zoro the more favorable the outcome for us.

Even if oda didnt intent to give zoro some feats untill he face mihawk, Oda realy hate when people undermine what he is trying to show through action.

I hope they keep downplaying zoro so oda go fully all out with him. :milaugh:

When you talk good about zoro oda restrain him fearing he would get too popular, same way when you talk bad of him he sudenly start getting crazy feats out of nowhere.

Like With garp, zoro will keep pulling feat to the point the hater will simply have nowhere to retreat to same way nowaday they have zero argument against garp.

No one expected zoro to face the giant army,if this was going to happen they were certain it would have been luffy or Loki perhaps a Combine attack to clear them before facing imu.
