So why should I feel excited to see these characters? Because they're strong? That's a very shallow reason to get hyped up. When Smoothie does nothing, when Jack is used as a hype stool, I'm not going to get crazy amped up over their appearances.
No one's asking or expecting you to to be hyped.

My point was that people shouldn't think very little of them because of silly and petty reasonings such as yours.

The Road To Harmony
Honestly, I can understand the desire for Zoro to have more connections with the Wano Samurai/the country in general. And the prospect of Zoro fighting a Wano samurai does sound enticing. However, Oda's given little room for such a confrontation to be interesting. If Kyoshiro indeed has the desire to open Wano's borders and drive off Orochi and Kaido, there's little incentive for him and Zoro to fight.

Even prior to this reveal, almost nothing was done to intrigue us to that matchup in a way that'd set it apart from say a King battle. We were less concerned about Zoro vs Kyoshiro and more about who Kyoshiro really is.

At least with King, we know he's a loyal subordinate of Kaido's. Zoro fighting him helps to contribute to the alliance's victory. There is weight behind that conflict.

Perhaps we learn something about Kyoshiro this chapter that would make a potential battle with Zoro neat, but I seriously doubt it. He seems firmly on the Alliance's side, from the looks of it.

As for Zoro Wano connections, your best bet lies with the Shimotsuki and Ryuma, since they are the ones Oda has linked to Zoro the most.
 
In the beginning yes but as story progressed and oda reveal the plot around zoro we reformed our opinion unlike some who were still stuck at zoro will fight orochi and kyo...:myman:
Only because you guys had set your eyes upon Kaidou for Zoro and it was valid argument from Opposition that Zoro won't get so many flashed out fights. Kyoshiro+Orochii+King and also Kaidou.
 
Chapter 973 - The Kozuki Family

We see Toki take her last breathe after sending Momo and the Samurai to the future.
Orochi is enraged because he cannot find proof that the Samurai are dead.
In order to conceal his identity, Denjiro changed his appearance, adopting the name "Kyoshiro" and makes underlings.
He completely kills his identity and sticks by Orochi's side taking up Hyougoro's role in the Capital as chivalrous mafia boss. On the other hand, he also acts as the the witching hour boy stealing money from the warehouse.

After that, he discovers Hiyori who had been separated from Kawamatsu and was lost in the town and then reveals his identity to her.
He implores Hiyori to not reveal his identity to even his allies until the very moment the battle starts. He then asks Hiyori to adopt the name Komurasaki and live as such in order to protect her.
 
Oda had been doing a poor job in such aspect tbh.

I mean we didn't even saw him go to Ryuma shrine, he didn't make Zoro react when he heard that "Shimotsuki" was also the name of a Wano clan, low Ryuma information till now ,etc.

Maybe all is for ending of the arc .... still is lame to save that.
Only way Zoro is visiting Ryumma shrine now is after battle, might also get Shusiu back thn.
