You really gotta be kidding me to say "Mei-Ou" (Rayleigh's epithet) & "En-Ou" (Zoro's epithet) is a forced parallel.
Zoros epithet is Pirate Hunter? En-Ou Santoryu is his sword style.

A parallel is a constant portrayal between two characters. The En-Ou Santoryu May very well be a callback to Rayleigh. But to say Zoros entire character is a parallel to rayleighs is forced is what I mean.

I'd prefer Zoro to be unparalleled. This parallel stuff is so cliche. Naruto totally killed it for me. Luffy being Roger/Joyboy/Xebec parallel is also very disappointing.

In any case, if we are looking for parallel of Rayleigh among the listed people, it is obviously Zoro. Don't even understand where this Sanji-Rayleigh stuff comes from.

The difference is Luffy is compared to Roger thoughout the manga by different characters where as with Zoro while their is parallels with Rayleigh like the one you've mentioned it's not on the same level as Luffy's and Rogers

Yes he totally did not call himself and talk about how he wants to become King of Hell at the end of the King fight.

Yes.

Rayleigh & Zoro both being the first member of the two PK crews is just a callback.
Rayleigh & Zoro both being termed "Partners" of the two PK is just a callback.
Rayleigh & Zoro both having Conquerors Haki while being subordinates of the two PK is just a callback.
Rayleigh & Zoro both being CoA specialists is just a callback.
Rayleigh & Zoro both being DF-less Swordsmen is just a callback.
Rayleigh & Zoro both having mirror-image scars on their eyes is just a callback.

Everything is a callback, even the most obvious shit Oda throws at our faces giving the two similar epithets :usoprice:

Doesn't make it a forced parallel either, and it's literally the Mangaka showing it to the readers on the face.

Rayleigh and Zoro have similarities but he's not a direct parallel for Zoro for instance Rayleigh has shown no care about swordsmanship while Zoro's main driving goal is to the wss .If anything Zoro's parallel is Ryuma .

And I can easily ask you about why Ryuma was not a subordinate like Zoro was.
Zoro has parallels with multiple characters - Rayleigh and Ryuma being a couple of them, heck even King is one of them.
Doesn't make him any less of this generation's Rayleigh.

Is zoro but again I won't say things like luffy is roger Sanji is gaban law is wb...because this is shit made up by the fandom
But the deal with zoro/rayleigh is that they share of parallels and similarities
-First mate and RHM of the PK
-Swordsmen
-Scarrs in eye and chest
-both laugh the same
-both love to drink
-both dress the same
-both have the hair back
-both have the same bloodtype
-En-ou/mei-ou
-Zoro 40/60 yo
