Zoro fans had great ambition after Wano, boosted by rooftop, "Zoro is admiral level!", "ACOC symbolises Zoro's is closeness to Luffy!", "Zoro is the second MC confirmed!", "Zoro>Yamato", "Zoro>Kid/Law", "damn if Zoro is already so close to or equal to admiral level, then imagine Mihawk who his no where near yet, EOS
Zoro>Roger confirmed!", "Zoro is stronger then Luffy", "most powerful attack in the world Ashura confirmed". Were just a small sample of Zoro agendas I heard through Wano, and that's not even including the ZKK ones.....And then Egghead Arc comes along


-ZKK 2 (Zoro Kills Kaku)? L. Stussy Saves Zoro From Kaku (and Zoro isn't even able to land a paper cut on Kaku).
-S-Hawk "Please Please Please S-Hawk save the Zoro agenda, S-Hawk=admiral level!!! S-Hawk>Kizaru!! S-Hawk strongest Seraphim!! Zoro will easily defeat S-Hawk like he got defeated by Mihawk at the sta" - Zoro loses a clash with S-Hawk and gets blown bank, even the Fraudulent Blackbeard with his bare hand coated with basic Haki ez tanks his Yoru attack....And his defeated in the same way as others, in a bubble....Unable to break out....XD.
-ZKK 3 (Zoro Kills/Fights Kizaru, Kizaru Zoros opponent of this arc who he beats 1v1.........) "I have faith in you Oda -prays- I'm sure of it, Zoro is gonna 1v1 Kizar-" Luffy 1 shots Kizaru this arc

And finally, as if Zoro fans have triggered the wrath of Oda himself he gives Zoro the biggest clowning of possibly any arc, its truly breath taking! Zoro is made to extreme diff use KOH against a injured Lucci, with many beautiful panels such as this:
(Bro really made Zoro equally clash with and sweat against injured BASE Lucci?! Dammmmnnn thats crazy!"
And you know what's crazier? Oda is still not done!
For the first time in history? Oda made Luffy beat a big arc level boss opponent (Kizaru) before Zoro.....Before Zoro beat the dude Luffy literally sleep diffed and destroyed and made into a chew toy.....I really can't believe it! Even I got shocked on that one.....Oda giving Zoro Luffy's chewed up toy to extreme diff, huff and puff and sweat against and use KOH and all that against..That's what really made me think that Oda was not pulling his punches.
-And now yet another L, as if Oda is directly rubbing salt into their wounds.....Zoros Nothing Happened moment, which Zoro fans universally praise and worship and love and all that, treat it like a real cornerstone of manga, treat it like the greatest moment of all time etc etc is turned into just another thing to glaze Luffy XD. I mean wowzers. Bro couldn't even give Kuma a little single box saying "this swordsman.....He feels different too......I see Dragon's sons friends are unique too" or something...But nope XD. Straight up just chucked him in with the other Straw Hats XD.
Looking at all the big fat killer L's Zoro received this arc, I really do wonder....Did Oda hope on this forum or Twitter or some other Zoro fan hive? To humble them a bit? Idk, but the drastic change feels like it. In either case, this ig isn't unexpected. Going against Oda's golden boy, creating agendas against him etc etc will never end well for anybody, you don't try to compete your goat against the author certified goat and expect to come out unscathed :cheers:
