Future Events Mihawk and the ultimate swordsmanship challenge

#41
Did you even read the Koshiro flashback? The entire point of that scene was that young Zoro didn't understand Koshiro's mindset and wanted to brute force his way through obstacles by being able to 'cut anything'. Up until he met Mihawk, Zoro carried that unhealthy bull-in-a-china-shop mentality before realising that peak swordsmanship involves subtlety and being able to protect the things he wants to.

Before chapter 10001, Kinemon had arguably superior cutting technique to Zoro's, being able to cut fire and employ Ryuou against Kaido himself. His complete and utter defeat has shown definitively that swordsmanship is not about cutting technique any more than Luffy's road to the pirate king consists of how many blocks of kairoseki he can punch through. It's incredible how so many people can't interpret Oda's message about what swordsmanship is and is not.
THEY DON'T READ THE STORY. I been saying this for months. IT took Zoro declaring he fighting Kaido for people to even start believing a little bit that he was. Not the other 100 of setup, forshadowing that Oda faced. This is the reason they think Mihawk can't cut Jozu, because they literally have no understanding on how Swordsmanship work.

Since you corrected yourself, I will address the main point here which is him never pursuing that ability. Zoro states during the fight with M1 that he had experienced such feelings multiple times before. He just didn't know how to do it voluntarily. Which he later continues training in order to achieve. So him not pursuing it as an adult is also not proved
He didn't say many times, only that he felt the feeling before. He didn't understand what that feeling meant or associated it with cutting steal until the Mr. 1 fight. So how could he have been been actively pursing something that he didn't understand, until that moment?
