Honestly I loved how ZKK hints were either the most in depth lore dumps you’ll ever see or “Zoro ate Ramen out of bowl with a dragon.”
Absolutely phenomenal
Different calibre of posters sadly.
I was writing theories based on Ryuma and Oden parallels and lore and stuff.
And then some people were taken cover pages too seriously.
FWIW, I don't think there's a contest really.
ZKK was wrong, but there were many plot threads pointing to it that Oda just abandoned in Wano.
It's not the case that there was no basis for ZKK.
There's a reason most Zoro fans considered Oda's handling of Zoro's character a disappointment. Powerscaling and agendas aside, Oda just abandoned many of the threads he set up involving Zoro.
I do not regret my ZKK threads. Given the evidence available at the time, there was a strong case to be made and I'm okay with having made it.

Like Yamato vs Nakama was another theory that had a very strong basis but which Oda didn't execute on.
I advocated for both theories and I don't regret it.
They weren't baseless or unfounded or sheer wishful thinking.
Insomuch as theorising has any basis at all, ZKK and Yamato 4 Nakama were some of the most well founded theories.
