General & Others When is Zoro getting the VC title ?

[warsame zaylai]

Elbaph is the most likely arc in which Zoro receives his warrior-titled chapter. After all, it's the Warland Kingdom, home to legendary warriors. I think his chapter title will be "Warrior of Soul." In Monsters, Ryuma was said to possess the greatest warrior soul (or heart) of his era, and the concept was mentioned multiple times, including on the final page. It's tied to his code of Bushido. This title would also thematically fit Zoro's demon-hell-themed abilities. Both Luffy and Sanji had warrior-titled chapters in Wano that reflected their latent awakenings. The same should apply for Zoro, so I'm thinking it'll be an awakening of Black Blade(s).

You can see Oda is very consistent in how he writes Zoro and the swordsmen code:

I dont think its black blade this arc
if oda didnt give it to oden who was yonko level then i cant see zoro having black blade this arc

oda will focus zoro mastering coc to high level and awakening Future sight

oda allows it by making zoro play the VC role when shit happens

well then that’s all that Oda will allow… he’s intentionally not making Zoro the official vice captain

you’re the one who thinks Oda should change this when he’s under no obligation to… and no, Oda doesn’t have to make Zoro vice captain just because Rayleigh is… there are many differences between Rayleigh and Zoro and Rayleigh being vice captain is one of those differences

 

[MonsterKaido]

There will no VC in SH crew. They are all equal after Luffy.

Wym official vice captain when he plays the role ? He is already VC if he is playing the role
the only thing is left is the VC title

thats the point ray and zoro are two completely different character but the similarity between them is the roles the function and dynamic with the captain.
Zoro playing the role of VC already parallels with ray
zoro getting called luffy partner already paralllels with ray

oda already called zoro vice captain twice in the manga btw

as you can you the only difference between ray and zoro is just character and how they act

I dont get this
the wings are above the rest

there is no such thing equal with the others
the straw hat crew works like roger pirate crew
VC is needed

I don't mean in terms of power. In terms of hierarchy they are all same.

 

[Monkey D. Luffy]

I don't think Zoro will ever get an official "vice-captain" role. As long as he's the second strongest, he'll always be the de facto vice-captain.

 

[matt245]

Zoro also didnt get intro box in the manga yet

That's actually pretty dang weird ngl. Could it be a case of 'Oda forgot'?

 

[nik87]

dont work like that its either VC or not

As I said, anyone in the crew can be the VC, except for Zoro.

 

[MonochromeYoru]

so law isn't getting coc ? Oda teased zoro coc and people said zoro isn't getting coc cuz its late lol

Oda didn't say there was no coc users in shp did he?

But he did say there was no hierarchy in shp. And even corrected sbs peeps who called him VC

 

[soupongo]

The world already views him that way, Bart already said he is the VC of the SHP.

You guys overthink this stuff, lol. Do you think there was a Roger pirate election, and Rayleigh won as vice captain? Nah, he just naturally was one of the more dominant members, especially after Roger. Then people started calling him that

 

[GalaxyLevelShanks]

He’s not. Oda has established it’s Luffy then the rest officially. Unofficially, he’s already the VC as he is the RHM

 

[SkySanji]

At the same time that Usopp does, never.

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

He is already VC if he is playing the role
the only thing is left is the VC title

Nothing is going to change. What is happening now will stay exactly how it is… so no title

 

[kekaro]

after 2 more threads for sure

 

[Finalbeta]

He is meant as VC by veteranship, cause he was the second to join the Strawhats.

If Luffy died and the crew didn't disband, he should become the captain.

 

[BattalGazi]

He’ll never get that title

In Zoro fans hearts.

 

[Rumble]

That's wrong cuz the whole point of ray and zoro being "partner" not just being close with the captain but also playing the VC role.

Cool headcanon, bro.

Zoro wasnt there so it doesn't count

Makes no difference. There's been plenty of opportunities for Zoro to take lead and didn't.

Zoro is not a willing leader, it's not his style, and once the SHP disband, he is most likely to go about his business on his own, doing whatever WSS do. He might travel with companions, but he's not looking for responsibility.

Sanji was a leader when they met him. He is a far more consistent and vocal leader than Zoro with many more direct examples.

I don't think it's happening, Oda had 1100+ chapters to do so but never did.
