    Speculations Is Wano Really Zoro’s Arc? The Difference Between a Broken Promise and an Unfulfilled Expectation.

    You realise I'm making fun of the argument that the only thing that matters is who does the most damage to Kaido apart from Luffy, right? And the idea we need Oda to make a big announcement before every arc about who the important characters will be, when he's only really done that with the...

    Ussop and Robin weren't important in Enies Lobby cause they didn't have a fight and did no damage to Lucci. Oh and Oda never said it was their arc either.

    Speculations Is Wano Really Zoro’s Arc? The Difference Between a Broken Promise and an Unfulfilled Expectation.

    Yeah, him (and the rest of the Wano characters) could have shot right up now after that flashback, particularly given the length of it. I wouldn't be surprised if Oden was in second now. Of course, his role in the story is done, but Zoro's still around, so I think by the end he'll be back in second.

    Speculations Is Wano Really Zoro’s Arc? The Difference Between a Broken Promise and an Unfulfilled Expectation.

    From what I can remember of the panel time thread on OJ, Luffy was always top in an arc. Then there was the main villain and the main ally of the arc (your Vivi's, Law's, Wyper's and such). Then after that it was consistently high numbers for Zoro and Nami, then the other Strawhats

    He did have a big role in starting the war, can't argue with that. But the thing is, he did it for a reason- to end Doflamingo. And that reason is done. And since then, I don't think it's any surprise that Law hasn't been anywhere near important or prominent as he was back in the Punk...

    Yes, Law has to be here. But he's also seen a dramatic reduction in screen time and plot importance since the Punk Hazard days, because Law's grudge against Doflamingo was way more important to his character arc than his attempt to take down Kaido. Kin'emon and Momonosuke are really just as...

    Speculations Is Wano Really Zoro’s Arc? The Difference Between a Broken Promise and an Unfulfilled Expectation.

    The point of the arc is why the characters want to beat Kaido and Orochi. That's the heart of it, and it's why Kid and Law aren't as important as people are saying. Why is Luffy fighting Kaido? Because Luffy's been fighting him since he punched Caesar in the face. Kaido's left a trail of human...

    That is utter nonsense. Did Ussop do the second biggest amount of damage to Kuro? Sanji to Krieg? Nami to Arlong? Vivi to Crocodile, Robin or Franky to Lucci, Brook to Moria, Chopper to Walpol, Sanji to Katakuri? There is far more to an arc than "he hit him really hard so he's important."

    Speculations Is Wano Really Zoro’s Arc? The Difference Between a Broken Promise and an Unfulfilled Expectation.

    You seem under the impression I'm saying Zoro is more important in Wano, and it's more his arc, because he's fighting Kaido. Let's be clear, that is the furthest thing from what I'm saying. Zoro, even if he never even sees Kaido, is more important to the arc than Kid and Law. There is far more...

    Speculations Is Wano Really Zoro’s Arc? The Difference Between a Broken Promise and an Unfulfilled Expectation.

    Yes, Wano is Zoro's arc. And that has been foreshadowed since Wano was introduced with... Zoro vs Ryuma. There has been very clear build up, from its first mention, of Zoro playing a huge role in Wano. And Oda has delivered on that, because we're now in the situation where he's been armed with...
