Character Discussion Why do you like Zoro?
- Thread starter pg13

He's got a great design, he's brave, respectful, humble, selfless and tough.
And he's very consistent. He will never cower and submit to an opponent even if he knows they're likely stronger than him, and the only time he ever did was against Kuma and even that was something he did on his own terms, with his raw willpower and selflessness making Kuma admire him and settle for "killing" him instead of Luffy.

I tend to favor fictional swordsmen. There's just something impressive about how much they can do with a blade, and it's often paired with a code of honor. Cuts and slashes make for aesthetic panels. The calm demeanor of stoic characters is also appealing. Zoro embodies hard work and loyalty and strives to fulfill an ambitious dream for himself and his fallen friend. He trains more than anyone, and his mind revolves around it. The one-liners are memorable, and the badass moments even more so. I dig the creativity and simplicity of his fighting style. Just adding a sword can upgrade an attack, but his arsenal runs deep. Each sword style has its own subset of moves, and now they can be further amped by KOH. Cool stuff.
Oda often gives Zoro moments that elevate him beyond the expectations of those who try to box him into No. 2 limitations. Even in-verse, it's questioned why he isn't the captain. And look at how much discussion and how many theories he generates. Globally, he's the second most popular character, but it's close despite everything Oda does to boost Luffy.

Oh, swords! Where do I even begin? They are the shimmering embodiment of pure, unadulterated elegance, the absolute apex of human craftsmanship! The way their blades gleam in the sun—like the very reflection of the stars themselves, capturing the eternal dance of light and shadow. Hold one, and it's like you’ve captured the soul of an ancient warrior in your grip, a testament to the timeless beauty of battle, honor, and artistry.
Oh, but the weight—the perfect weight! Not too light, not too heavy, but just enough to feel like you’re holding a piece of history, as though it was forged by the gods themselves. It hums with the energy of a thousand battles, a thousand victories, as though it were a living, breathing entity ready to cut through the fabric of reality itself.
The sound of a sword being drawn from its scabbard? Music to the ears! That metallic squeeeek is a cry from the ancient forges where it was born, a cry of power and promise. Every swing, every slice is a symphony in motion, a ballet of precision, grace, and destruction.
To hold a sword is to hold the very essence of what it means to be alive—the sharpness of its edge is the sharpness of your mind, the power of its strike is the strength of your spirit. Oh, how glorious it is to be bound to such an object! For in that moment, you are not just a mere mortal, no—you are legend. And the sword? The sword is your destiny, your companion, your soul’s eternal partner in a world where metal and magic intertwine.
A sword is not just a weapon; it is an extension of your will. The way it dances through the air, cutting through reality itself, bending the world to your command. The way it whispers of power, of honor, of the finest art known to humankind.
If love could be defined by an object, then it would be the sword—flawless, eternal, and undeniably magnificent.
