General & Others Does Oda hate Zoro?

No, he just doesn't hate Sanji. And he doesn't rate Zoro as highly as his most extreme fans believe. The normal Zoro and Sanji fans are enjoying the respect these two are getting as "The Wings". We look forward to them climbing to legendary status without deluding ourselves into believing that they are greater than they are, nor lesser, nor that one wing is superior to the other. This has been the objective fans understanding since the beginning and we've never been proven wrong. Betting against Zoro or Sanji never ends well.
If they are equal or Zoro is at most 5% stronger, then Sanji is far superior as an overall crew member. That would be hating Zoro.
 
No but he has sidelined zoro a lot in post skip by introducing characters like law , yamato , kidd , Loki etc.
Eh i would say Law and Loki, the others don't fit his role in the narrative. Like, yeah, Yamato, for example, was strong, but she was just a regular arc strong character not overlapping with zoros role really in the story.

But law and loki were instances where clearly he got sidelined, they served similar roles and had 100000x better backstory and characterization.

Like people need to realize that Oda revealed Law arcs and backstory before WCI, and after WCI and Sanjis arc, people thought Wano was Zoros arc, and after that it wasn't. People said its too late for oda to "waste time" on Backstory and Characterization

Just for us 1 arc after wano to get an insane gripping Loki Flashback and one of the most interesting characterizations

Especially law was such a strict better replacement (and more direct too as a swordsman) he actually was more popular in that period, and he is now in the top 5 while being 4 years of the manga, thats insane

The new world is all about these alliances. Vivi is the pre time skip equivalent and she was clearly important... even more important now. And yet her role paled in comparison to these new features.

Zoro's still very young and learning, but at the same time the skip set his character up to be mostly complete in his development. Regardless of how interested Oda is in featuring him, there's only so much to do outside of completing his objective per arc.
 
Yamato fought and hold of Kaido where zoro was relegated to beating King...
Which was offscreen and took less chapters than the king fight and resulted in nothing for yamato beside being a staller
are you saying if Yamato and Zoro traded places there, it would count as less sidelined?
Absurd
Just because someone is stronger than CoH its not a sideline, thats happening pre-ts too with wyper

Bruh fighting a yonko and holding them is far significant feat and defeating a mere YC1.
