It's just asspull writing, but you won't see majority of people complaining about it because they'll use "zoro hype" as smoke screen.
Absolute worst Zoro's post-TS fight after Hyouzou
No, that would be the Monet fight. Absolutely trash, that one. Character assassination galore, with Zoro refusing to hurt a woman like he was Enies Lobby Sanji, even when she was actively trying to brutally murder his friends in front of him (while Zoro bumbled around like a buffoon trying to play defence instead of just oneshotting her......). Then when Tashigi called him out on his BS, he went and sulked in a corner until Tashigi almost died.
THEN he decided to get involved and aurafarm.......only to reveal that he was actually bluffing (much like Enies Lobby Sanji tried to co with Kalifa; though Zoro was much more convincing. 😅) and he didn't actually try to hurt Monet. And worst of all, after Tashigi finally had to put Monet down, Zoro refused to acknowledge he did anything wrong the entire time, and acted like a patronising twat to Tashigi. Literally just the worse version of Enies Lobby Sanji (because at least HE knew he was being ridiculous, and admitted as much to Nami, he just couldn't bring himself to act differently because of long established principles he held. Unlike Zoro, who neevt had a single issue with hurting a woman or someone weaker thab him if they were a threat. ), but he got one moment where he LOOKED cool, so people give him a pass. Lol.
The Hyouzou fight was just kinda lacklustre, but that was by design.it was just an excuse for Zoro to show off and get his "frog in the well" moment.
EDIT: Just look at this garbage.
