That’s how it should go. Luffy is a Yonko and he needs a crew that is strong. If this was any other Yonko first mate, the fans would be hyping him up beyond belief. However, since it’s Zoro, the fandom is dumb and downplays everything.
Wano’s ending was such a disappointment. Oda may not have said Wano was Zoro’s arc the way he said WCI was Sanji’s arc, but he sure set up a lot of plot lines for Zoro. In the end he dropped all of them. I still have hope that we will learn about the Grim Reaper and black blades at some point...
Preach! Then the Sanji fandom downplays and mocks all of Zoro’s feats such as scarring Kaido. On top of that they mocked us for wanting character moments for Zoro such as visiting Ryuma’s grave.
I think Zoro’s question to Vegapunk was let them land on Egghead and search for Luffy, Jinbei, and Chopper. Instead of asking outright, Oda wanted to make it a cliffhanger!
It definitely is bothersome since Oda seems to be consistently removing Zoro from the main storylines and ignoring any character development for him. I want Zoro to have more character moments like nothing happened, but I am not going to hold my breath.
I don’t think it was a downplay. Kuma is a special race and even he was having a hard time taking in everyone’s pain. Zoro taking in all of Luffy’s pain when he’s a bullheaded and stubborn yet ordinary human is an amazing feat. He did it because it’s his job to protect the crew when the captain...
I’m still hoping for Zoro vs Kizaru but my expectations are very low. I want Zoro to block Kizaru’s light sword with one of his blades. Then their fight begins while Luffy handles Saturn and the other Strawhats get ready to escape.
