Comparing apples to oranges
These two situations literally aren’t comparable, tell me what happened to Otama? Nothing lol, that was a low-stakes padding situation. This is like me criticizing Zoro for getting negged by the Yeti cool bros
Meanwhile, this battle against Imu is a serious encounter and actually matters. Zoro got humiliated in every way possible and served as a hypetool.
Nothing?
Tama literally got tortured thats why Luffy was mad at Holdem, and that ended up with Otama almost killed by Kaido cuz he saw Speed with Her.
Anyway Its literally the same way to writes the story.
For Imu case
To Hype the Main Villain is to make him defeat one of the strongest on Elbaf which is Zoro and Sanji.
You can't do Loki because he is One of the most important side character, so its dedicated arc for him of course he would look good until he got cooked.
And don't ask me how Oda gonna handle Luffy.
Ain't nothing new about them getting hypetooled.
But i didn't see the most humiliated thing?
Zoro still don't know how to control his CoC haki yet
Zoro not even using his strongest attack
Zoro still standing despite getting hit point blank.
If u guys think that Zoro on KoH mode attacking Imu with not his strongest attack and got blocked with Imu's tail are humiliated, then be my guest
