Them being senile morons is the only thing that makes sense at this point.

PH dragon: unimpressive Vegapunk experiment that was a jobber Wano dragon that Ryuma slayed: likely an actual threat to the land of Wano. No comparison. Luffy = Ryuma Zoro = who cares

Pre skip Zoro/Usopp: pretty important Post skip: Zoro- No Usopp- eh...slightly more than Zoro.

You have proof of this? I always hear this but I've never found any interview or statement from Oda confirming it.

I feel like Jinbei and Usopp have proven to be irreplaceable. Jinbei is an unparalleled helmsman, its because of him that the crew even survived that tidal wave in WCI. Plus he acts like a great vice captain (pragmatic/brokering deals with rival pirate groups). Usopp was the MVP of Dressrosa...

The problem is that Zoro is the only person on the crew who's role (combatant) is not only clearly inferior to someone else's (Luffy), but has someone else who is nearly equal in the same role (Sanji) along with 2 other characters who are right behind, if not also on his level (Jinbei/Yamato)...

Fixed. Post Time Skip Oda is making it pretty clear he only draws Zoro because his fanservice is great for merchandising sales. Doesn't give one shit about developing his character. Makes some awkward looking fights, say some nonsense one liners, watch some of the base go ZOOOORO and call it a day.

Pre skip Zoro: Good character with a well defined role in the story Post skip Zoro: A character who could literally die in the next few chapters and the story wouldn't miss a beat

There is no rivalry in Oda's eyes. Sanji is written as far more important to the crew and story than the guy who's only useful for power scaling fanservice post timeskip.

Zoro provided wonderful meaningless fanservice.

-Grim Reaper was to set up a gag -Nidai was gag bait -We got all the Ebisu/Yasui connection -Shimotsuki lore/Zoro lineage will be in SBS, if it's mentioned at all. -Black Blades will be a meaningless end game power up that means absolutely nothing -Ryuma grave visit will be offscreened. If not...

Sanji one of Oda's fave characters/Zoro one of his least fave confirmed.

It was this. Maybe people will begin to realize that Oda doesn't care about Zoro outside of surface level power scaling fanservice.

Wano had no business being so long, so I don't mind if the upcoming arcs are shorter...but lets be honest we all know what's gonna happen. He's gonna introduce a bunch of nonsense characters and side plots primarily because he thinks its 'fun', continue propping up Luffy as much as possible...

He won't offscreen, but I can't imagine it being anything more than like...2 pages. It will mean absolutely nothing. Just something Oda will mark off his checklist.

Definitely feels like that post time skip. Lamest backstory, only person on the crew with a redundant role, lack of character development. Now with Wano his only development was power scaling fanservice but its limited because it will never overshadow Luffy's and go too far from Sanji's. All...

She only exists so she can gift Zoro her father's sword. That's literally it. smh

lmfao Zunesha leaving, I'm dead. Did Zunesha only appear in Wano just to give Joyboy exposition lol.

- Luffy: 5,000,000,000 - Zoro: 1,550,000,000 - Sanji: 1,500,000,000 - Yamato: 1,000,000,000 - Jinbe: 880,000,000 - Robin: 720,000,000 - Franky: 350,000,000 - Brook: 280,000,000 - Usopp: 300,000,000 - Nami: 260,000,000 - Chopper: 200,000,000 - Law: 2,700,000,000 - Kid: 3,150,000,000 - Killer...

Oda will hype up the giants in Elbaf as the strongest so and so in the world. We'll get a lot of fodder reactions about how mighty these giants are. Luffy will dunk on these giants and Elbaf will fall in love with Luffy. Usopp will get a couple of chapters about his desire to be a warrior and...
