I do agree on this, to be honest. Luffy and Zoro's conversation on Zoro's dream plus his reflections while fighting Mihawk in Baratie do point to Zoro needing to be the World's Strongest Swordsman to be up to Luffy as Pirate King; the message conveyed is that such status is the very least Zoro...

He already "deleted a meaning" when he wrote Sanji is "the wings of the King of the Pirates" instead of "one of the wings of the King of the Pirates" because of how cacophonic it sounded, as he himself admitted. The original text is quite clear on this subject and what the title shared by the...

Japanese speakers don't give a shit about English nor Stephen Paul, he means nothing to them as readers of the original text. If they are discussing the "warrior" connotation is because it's there. Simple as that. The reason you're looking for is probably either stylistic or idiomatic, with...

Why do some people in this fandom feel entitled to get on their high horse over a translation? A translation is still a subproduct of the original text they blatantly ignore and it's always the same ridicule: from Law and Kid's victory not being legit because their epithets were shown yet "the...

Oda finding Usopp more interesting to work with doesn't mean he is going to give him a significant role in every arc. The point is that Oda has been working on Usopp consistently since day one, exploring the background for his lies (Syrup), exposing him to his first experience in the world...

Big difference is that Oda actually likes to write plots for Usopp. Usopp is a flawed and nuanced character, and therefore way more interesting for an author to work with; with Zoro is obvious Oda simply doesn't care as much as he doesn't find him rich enough, hence why, at the end of the day...

Doflamingo doesn't undersand "family" in terms of blood. He couldn't care less about a random with his same name.

After chapter 1086 and the introduction of saint Figarland Garling many people are jumping into two conclusions: First, that Garling is a relative of Shanks, likely his father, because of Film Red's mention of the Figarland family in relation to Uta. Second, that this would make Shanks a...

What a stupidity. It requires tons of strength as you need to explore the most dangerous parts of the whole world in order to find it, since it's obvious it isn't in the safest, well-known, fully explored seas. If you set sail to find All Blue you're aware you need to reach and survive the New...

Yet the first thing he ever did in this story was disobeying an order and murdering a ship full of civilians.

It has nothing to do with their strength, Imu looks down on them because they don't understand the meaning of their own name; that's why they are an echo of the original D.

Usopp? I told you it's one of the Straw Hats I prefer and he's one of the originals. Dude, I can think and read people outside this thread. If I mentioned Zoro fans I'm perfectly aware of why I did it, starting by the fact the first person posting suspicious stuff was a known Zoro fan. If I...

Nah, I'm a Jinbe, Usopp and Franky fan. Oda doesn't put enough work on Zoro as a character for me to care about him.

Because Zoro fandom seems to attract significantly more phobic and sexist people than others and the first "I'm not homophobic but" person you clearly see posting in this thread happens to be a Zoro fan; hence my appreciation. Not difficult to understand, buddy. You have the rest of my posts...

First user jumping to post passive-aggressively in this thread with a subtle homophobic cliché happens to be one of those Zoro fans who, if I recall correctly, even went on a childish rant some months ago because he didn't want Sanji's tag. After all this time following One Piece I'm just...

Zoro fans are the victims here too, actually. There are tons of Zoro fans who are decent people you can share a great chat with; but that's also the fandom where the most number of phobic and sexist profiles end up (probably for misunderstanding Zoro's character itself and thinking he aligns...

Careful big boy, don't hurt me with your strong words. You're liking homophobic posts in this thread like the one comparing homosexuality to religion because it's a mindset, don't make me be the one using the harsh terms here because I can assure you the person deserving them is you.

This issue is political, just like most things. Homosexuals are still prosecuted, attacked, imprisoned and even murdered because of politics.

If homosexuality was a mindset you'd simply decide whether to follow it or not; which obviously isn't the case as homosexuals are even today murdered just by their condition and won't change their mindset in order to "choose heterosexuality". And no living organism is as simplistic as "it's...

"Genetics" and "environment" aren't even unrelated factors, don't depict them as a dichotomy. PS: homophobia still is the mindset here.
