Oda is known for his wank to Zoro.. so I doubt that... He simply cared about other sub-plots to finish before the main war.... So I feel he changed his mind about what were his priorities.
Not much wank if you letting Zoro taking heavy Ls to the point he faints in a fight. Think Oda is balancing him out to maje him struggle again without looking like he unstoppable with fights especially when we facing Yonkos and their members after all.

Mihawk Reigns Supreme
Oda never said Wano will be his arc LOL.
So if Oda doesn't say anything about Elbaf being Ussop's arc, it won't be his?

Did he say Dressrosa was Law's arc?

Thriller Bark was Brook's?

EL was Robin's?

Sanji is the ONLY person to get something like that - because WCI really had nothing to do with Sanji until it did. We know Ussop will be important in Elbaf because of Little Garden, like most people know Zoro's gonna be important in Wano.
 
"The world calls Mihawk the WSS but several sword users are stronger than him... but the world views him as the WSS so the title sticks"
you called someone an idiot for implying the same with wb who was called the strongest man even at his old age. why arent you consistent. why do you see wb title as fact but continually demean mihawk's. bruh. you didnt just mention one, you have stated "several". last time it was shanks mihawk in the same tier. now its several one stronger than him. I bet there are several ones stronger than shanks as well since by your own convolution they are in the same tier.
what a joke.

btw kenshi can literally be translated to "sworduser-swordbearer"


the vivrecards confirm what oda gives you . kaido's title has more of an indication that its given by the people than mihawk's.

There are always canon characters around other characters. Luffy has never had a point he didn't have canon characters around him.

Once again I'm talking about Wano. If you are talking about Law time in DR then that is completely different since Law was focused on heavily in that arc just like how Zoro is in Wano. Unlike DR, Wano is not over.
That's what I mean, you fool. We counting all moments when it's them having most spotlight and Zoro is more background compare to main attention when learning about the arc. Heck flashback was all about Oden and Scabbards then Zoro having zero connection. Nothing shows or hinted that Zoro going to be all about him as that just Zoro-fans failure to know what Goda's writing and saying and think with their Two-Piece like your doing right now.

You been saying that since start of Wano and it make Zoro look bad than look good, so again stop thinking with headcannons and think with Goda's cannon.

Don't try to change it up now after I have countered your post. There have never been a time in the manga where there are no Canon characters around. Guess what, everything that happens in the manga is canon.

No one said that Wano was going to be only about Zoro, just that Wano would focus alot on him. Guess what, it has. You are just upset that the manga has put a lot of focus on Zoro so you try to downplay him. You claim Zoro has no connections to Oden even though he is using one of Oden's swords, he saved Oden daughter who strongly admire him and he is directly/indirectly training Momo. Momo is even using a word he Zoro picked up from his teacher.

More headcannon, nothing has changed.
 
I mean correct me if I am wrong, isn't it true for every other arc where Zoro was present that he had second most panel time after Luffy maybe except for dressrosa??....

Zoro Was N5 in term of Panel time Before Wano also Sanji was behind Zoro but he Get 1040+ Panel in WCI and Reverie also nami get 770+ panel in WCI Before WCI Ranking Was 1.Luffy 2. Ussop 3. Nami(20+ panel Less than Ussop) 4.Zoro (200+ panel Less than Nami) 5.Sanji (700+ panel Less than Zoro)

Not surprised here at all, don't know why the panel time argument kept being brought up. He was never one to really hog panel time, Nami always felt more consistent in that regard (she's the female lead, so I think it's appropriate anyway). But the difference is negligible compared to Luffy, the EB 4 have always been more or less equals in the grand scheme of things as far as "main characters" and focus go.

Also Wano is such a breath of fresh air, because we're actually following Zoro around for once (almost every step of the way), can't remember the last time that happened, if it did at all.
