I'm being dismissive because I'm not debating whether Zoro is the deuteragonist — he is, I'm discussing the interpretations of this thread and the quality of Oda's writing. Post-TS, Oda's writing got much worse. It's like a different manga, and his supporting protagonists have suffered greatly...

...That's cool and all, but Zoro is the second main character lol. The statement is pretty clear, this sounds like cope. And I understand why you're pressed, he's been written terribly as such. Zoro does not influence the plot, yet he's still the deuteragonist in Oda's eyes. That's why he's the...

No, this interview was last year. You can disagree with how Zoro's been written, but you can't disagree about him being the deuteragonist.

Source is Oda from an interview back when they released the Monsters anime adaptation: https://x.com/sandman_AP/status/1810276638019711418?t=3VBcPbsNiKJI6SmUGXbp3g&s=19 Zoro is the second main character, there's not really much more to say beyond this.

He said he prepared someone like Ryuuma to be the second main character.

...sense. Same with Robin, Chopper will probably save Luffy's life at some point too. In terms of importance to the actual story moving forward, Zoro and Sanji primarily exist to protect the weaker, more important SHs from dying left right and centre. Zoro also exists to protect Luffy. In terms...

Okay, bear in mind we know for a fact that all Zoro's absolute strongest attack could do to Kaido was a thin scar, so the attack that BM was scared of definitely wouldn't have done much to Kaido at all in the end. Meaning scaling attack strength off of facial expressions is a terrible method of...

Lmfao idc what Nami said when we saw everything that happened between Gaban, Luffy and Zoro on panel. Luffy was not only not trying vs Gaban, he straight up wasn't even fighting lmao. If a hysterical Nami wants to call that humiliation then she can but it means absolutely nothing as a...

It's literally this simple. Until we see Roger with the look he had in his prime, he's not in his prime unless explicitly stated. It's like judging Zoro for feats before he lost his eye.

EoS Zoro > Xebec is now basically confirmed — the agenda has never been stronger

Zoro doesn't give af as long as you are a swordsman. Cabaji blew fire in Zoro's face and Zoro still considered him a swordsman he needed to defeat. Zoro may be obsessed with cutting, but that means nothing because if he saw Shanks, he would see him as another obstacle to surpass on the way to...

...Mihawk represents the pinnacle of swordsmanship out of all swordsmen alive. Xebec proves that shockwaves are also part of swordsmanship. If Zoro saw Shanks use a shockwave, he'd say damn he's a strong swordsman I need to surpass him. Knowing Zoro, he'd probably try to learn the attack. Zoro...

Couldn't agree more :BigW:

...honest, I think EoS Sabo will reach Roger level, as Ace would've surpassed Roger and Sabo's potential is just a fraction behind Ace's. Whereas Zoro will definitely surpass Roger/Xebec especially confirmed after this chapter, so imo the only character left standing come EoS that will be...

...and Whitebeards of the world, let alone Joyboy or Ryuuma. I do, however, think that Mihawk is top 1 alive now that Kaido's "dead", but that the new gen will surpass him once they start ascending to that next level. Starting with Blackbeard and Luffy then later the likes of Zoro and Sabo etc...

Yet we all know that Zoro will become the strongest swordsman of all time, surpassing Mihawk, Venus, Ryuuma, Roger, Xebec and every other swordsman. It's shounen 101, and Oda himself has alluded to it many times: Exhibit A - Strongest swordsman ever Exhibit B - Greater than the greatest There...

Confirmation that EoS Zoro's really gonna surpass Roger and now Xebec 😭 EoS top 3 confirmed, GGs chat

...is in, it can't be denied that he is a swordsman, placing him below Mihawk. Occam's razor; It's really that simple. From a shounen perspective, Zoro will become WSS at least amongst mortals once he surpasses Mihawk (i.e., excluding CDs). There's not gonna be any "oh Zoro's WSS but he might...

The way that fanbase tries to leech off of Zoro this couldn't be more accurate 😭 Mihawk gon need his Shanks cells too

Asura is Zoro's CoC leaking out, so Zoro's first usage was Enies Lobby and used it multiple times pre-TS. He used it before Luffy did. Zoro having CoC was not a retcon, it was an inevitability. That being said, Oda will absolutely be retconning what makes a conqueror as he had King ask Zoro...
