General & Others Is there too much Zoro focus in this arc?

This isn’t true though... Zoro made all the normal reactions he made in EVERY ARC that he’s in...
Just that story isn’t much about the Strawhats IN GENERAL... So Zoro who doesn’t make many gags IN GENERAL makes less gags
This is also dumb coz, making gag faces isn’t the same as being dimensional in character... I’m starting to get the feeling people just want to have a problem with zoro’s character so they just make shit up

The thing is, the stories in general aren’t about the Strawhats but for some reason zoro is being singled out that he must somehow be making more gag faces and be shoehorned into story that aren’t really about him or any of the Strawhats I guess
And like I said, this isn’t even true since Zoro has had his character moments in every arc in the new world.
In Sabaody he trolls Sanji and everyone coz he was the first to arrive despite what most would think And there’s the getting on the wrong ship and cutting it in half and telling those guys that it’s their bad luck that Zoro got on their ship
In Fishman Island, Zoro stubbornly refuses to hear out the palace guards when they decide to arrest them and instead fights the freakin King and takes over the palace and of course later he’s too bored with Hyouzo that he even tells him he can leave the fight if he wants
In Punk Hazard, He shows his mental state regarding the severity of the new world by chastising Luffy for goofing off like as if they are back in Paradise. Zoro has mobility problems against the dragon and teams up with Ussop and Luffy to kill it and later with Monet and Tashigi we learn about Zoro opinion towards women (being that he doesn’t care about their gender and his only problem is with weaklings in general) and how he got over Tashigi’s face now and just sees her as some weakling now. (Which is a good thing since of course he would’ve gotten over this, it been two years). He also shows interest in Kin’emon’s fighting styles and all that
In Dressrosa he gets into comedy bits with Wicca and has his extended fight Pica where he has all his usual character bits and even shows his tactical analysis skills to deal with Pica and delegate the use of Orlumbus’ throwing and Elizabello’s king punch like a master tactician. Then he manages to inspire and Lead EVERYONE in the country, INCLUDING FUJITORA to stop running around like chickens and go deal with Bird Cage and push it back since he was sure Luffy would wallop Doffy and he needed time
In Zou he has an argument with Luffy regarding priorities and reminding him the severity of the task at hand and that Sanji and Luffy are probably just gonna make things worse if they take this detour (Which they did) and he apparently off screen helped Momo train in Swordsmanship and all that
And btw these aren’t even all the character moments with Zoro in all these arcs, this is me summarizing... it’s pretty clear that Zoro has done as much as he’s supposed to given the amount of aural narrative time he had. There’s no situation where Zoro just exists in the story and he’s doing nothing in the story itself or anything.
The one thing I can say is even remotely legitimate is Zoro fighting at full strength hasn’t happened and that’s about it. And you know, Zoro’s battle hardiness and all that IS JUST ONE of Zoro’s traits and since Zoro isn’t a One dimensional character, he doesn’t fall apart as a character suddenly because one of his traits is no longer being highlighted as much

I
It isnt focused on him lol
Act 2 focused on luffy the most
then Queen and Hwkins
Then Zoro Hiyori kawamastu
Act 1 focused on Hawkins luffy
Just because you saw zoro fighting fodders or getting Enma
It doesn't mean the arc is focused him lol.
I remember how you wrte crying "kda forgot about zoro plot" "where is zoro ... we haven't seen him do anything... '
Just relax... he is a swordman, we will learn about his background.
But he still wont shine more than the supernova big 3.

I think you are mistaking me for a while nw, i simply pointed out a complain that some fans had about Zoro and Oda reflecting on it by Giving Zoro more character focus in Wano arc. You have nothing to explain to me.
And i think the surface of this problm wasn't Zoro itself bt lack of him onscreen for 2 years while Story was in WCI and Sanji getting a character arc, so fans must have wanted something along the same lines for Zoro where we get to know more bout his origins.

Well I guess I still say ALL THIS is unsubstantiated... Even the Sanji thing is... Zoro’s character DOESN’T need it... Zoro’s never been shown to have some pent up issues with his family or some weird traits that weren’t already explained before already... I’m fact Sanji didn’t have any of these as well and they basically just got shoehorned into the story too
Anyway whatever, I guess I’ll take it up with the people who think this

You answered yourself.
It is actually more surprising that you are surprised that zoro is getting so much focus.
Zoro is a fighter, a swordsman. Wano is the best place to focus on someone like Zoro.
The other straw hats other than puffy and zoro are not primarily fighters. They have other roles.
Zoro is also the grandmaster and Oda said not to speak ill of him

How is Hawkins receiving more focus than Zoro. He has done nothing but getting embarrassed by two supernovas. The only relevant thing he has done in Wano was tell us he was betrayed by Apoo.
While Zoro has been receiving focus throughout the entire Wano. One of the very first thing we found out was he was he became a wanted man. He has helped, saved, and interacted with very important characters in Wano. Now, he has received Enma.
