Questions & Mysteries My Thoughts on Zoro's Lineage

#24
I understand where you are coming from, but tbf this isn't a "Backstory"... Zoro has a backstory and that involves Kuina, Koushirou, Wado Ichimonji & his dream. This is basically extra lore info about his family tree.
Literally this but people still won't get it
As I always said you don't need to have a big backstory to be a good character sometimes few pannels or even a chapter is enough and this is with Zoro's case

Zoro being a descendant of Ryuma makes him look bad. Ryuma is gonn be very dissapointed in heaven seeing he couldnt kill a real dragon as he could.
zoro getting carried by shimotsuki genes, enma,Oden's haki and special swords. There is literary nothing else he can gain without these asspulls he was gifted. yet with all those asspulls he still rivals Sanji :milaugh:

zoro fans getting bullied by a mere SBS serves them right :steef:

Maybe Kuina would had been strongest swordsman by now, since she is also a descendant.

Kuina isnt a cheat like zoro though. zoro literary begged his own end goal to literary train him to become strong. plus he always looks for special swords to keep his ass saved since he cant do that with normal swords. Kuina on the other hand wont even try such cowardly way to become the most skilled swordsman in the world :kayneshrug:

even though zorotards speak like zoro got strong on his own his records are like below ,

- begged mihawk to make him strong
- begged for special swords whole throughout the series so he can cheat his way to reach his so called dream
- literary not anyone named zoro cares about WSS title. which again speaks of how useless that title is
- getting carried by Oden's haki throughout wano and act like he did anything on his own
- need magical healing to get his strength back and fight while sanji did that effortlessly and luffy did that with mere food
- getting carried by shimotsuki genes from the very beginning while other swordsmen like vista and mihawk doesnt even have any samurai related blood to help them to get strong
- failing to put kaido down with his so called best attack while yamato with a basic bonk did that effortlessly and luffy with a mere punch several times
- making fake promises he cant keep like saying he wont get defeated or telling he will take kaido's head while getting stomped hard
- known as a wing along with sanji while sanji doesnt even use his arms to fight back which is already a nerf
- zoro fans lying saying that he is the combatant of the crew while all of the straw hats are fighters and fight for themselves. literary he is a free loader who doesnt have any specific role among the crew.

:suresure:

like wts even special abt such a useless character i wonder :choppawhat:

Kuina was basically a member of the Shimotsuki clan and Zoro is like a offshoot of it. It’s kinda cool ibsr. The right backstory for his character

It just adds more to his promise to her and the King fight flashback

I like it and we will be getting more of it soon I recon

Zoro wanting something from Vegapunk could be linked to this who knows

Zoro and Kuina, Shimotsuki and Roronoa.

It’s not about his direct parents but the clans and what they represent for his his dream and his goal

The opposite of Sanji which I like

:zorothink:

This could start to tie into the Grim Reaper that Zoro saw in Wano

Good post. My main concern is Oda setting up Zoro’s lineage plot in Wano and revealing that in sbs in a very anticlimactic manner. But what’s done is done. Zoro is still a great character and his values have been depicted consistently throughout the story.

I don't understand the fuss about his lineage. Until Wano almost everybody didn't care much and thought he was just the orphan of some random parents and what made him special was his dedication to training.
Now suddenly some of them people want Zoro to have special parents or ancesters.

It doesn't change anything for the story, his current strength or where he will end up at EOS.
Shimotsuki aint that strong anyway
Only ryuma was and he died 500+ years ago
Ushimaru is fodder
Zoro s father died to east blue pirates:suresure:
And his mom was a bandit daughter

It’s cool to learn Zoro’s lineage but it doesn’t impact his character. From the very beginning, Zoro wanted to be the WSS and was working to achieve his goal. This is the same character who said he wasn’t afraid to die for his dream. He was never impacted by his family only his own ambitions. As long as I get more Zoro moment in the manga I will be happy.
