Questions & Mysteries Why does Zoro barely fight actual swordsmen?

[Midnight Delight]

Because Oda sucks at sword fights

 

[Gauntlet]

Because Oda's brain would melt if he had to create interesting sword fights without using gimmicks.

 

[BattalGazi]

Cabaji- Not a swordsman
Cat dudes- Not swordsmen
Mr. 1- Confirmed as not a swordsman
Ohm- Arguably not a swordsman. Used his big dog to fight, as well as his iron clouds
Kaku- Was arguably a swordsman pre-TS, but ditched his swords post-TS
Monet- Not a swordsman
Pica- Not a swordsman
King- Confirmed as not a swordsman

The only pure swordsmen Zoro has fought are Mihawk, Hatchan, Zombie Ryuma, and Hyouzou

Because he is a circus clown so ofcourse he will fight clowns, former Buggy member juggler sword Loro.

The only pure swordsmen Zoro has fought are Mihawk, Hatchan, Zombie Ryuma, and Hyouzou

Because it would be too bland for Zoro to always fight a swordsman in every arc. Also establishes that to be the WSS Zoro cannot limit himself to fighting just swordsmen but he has to beat everyone he comes across, this alone destroys the pure swordsman shit that people have been coming up with.

 

[Herrera95]

Flex fights.
You can also add Hawkins, Killer and Apoo to this category.

Pica is a swordsman he has a sword. Hawkins too.

Pose different type of problems to Zoro.

King is a swordsman. He never called himself a swordsman and Zoro only suggested that he may not be. But he is. His main techniques were used with swords.

 

[Salah WG]

He wants to become Strongest Swordsman, meaning the best in this Fighting Style
Doesn't mean he only wants to beat Swordsmen, Zoro wants to be Strongest Ever

Ryuma had zombie hax and Hyozou used poison

Not pure swordsmen

 

[zenox]

To show that being a swordsman is just a small part for the wss title
U gotta have the strongest swordsmanship even against non-swordsmen

I don’t think Oda likes sword fights. He’s a goofy guy so he prefers to spice up his fights with some razzle dazzle

 

[Thaidakar]

Roger, Xebec, Rayleigh, Shanks, Mihawk, Shiryu,

He keeps endgame swordfights for the end as they will involve some real hard haki fuckery :cheers:

 

[Buggy D Clown]

Because Zoro isn't a swordsman either. Heavily relies on haki, kicks people, willing to use non sword techniques, can grow limbs, can just use other sharp weapons like axes instead so him choosing swords is irrelevent

 

[KageFumi]

It's good tho, Zoro can defeat everyone not only swordsman.

I bet if Zoro fighting swordsman only, y'all fkers going to cope "Zoro can only beat a swordsman, and will lose if it's not a swordsman."

Because being a swordsman in One Piece world is boring and Oda knows it. He add other "powers" to these half swordsmen because he can't use his imagination and creativity with a character that only swings swords and nothing else.

 

[Peroroncino]

Whats with this guy and going against the manga? First he says kata is a YC2 and now that cabaji isnt a swordsman when he literally called himself one.
At least read one piece all you are is spouting random words

 

[kumae]

🤡

When did I say Kata is YC2?

 

[AkainuTheGrimReaper]

Because oda want to label as he feel like it.
‘Zoro can defeat mihawk before final war arc and then defeat kizaru who is not swordman in final war .
‘Zoro have defeated people who are not swordsman so it doesn’t matter.

 

[Santoryu D Bazooka]

Because as a Swordman he needs to fight and overcome all obstacles.
For story purposes if he only fought swordmen then he would be detached from Power Scaling in General.

 

[Zolo]

Becouse there are only like 5 swordsman in the verse excluding samurai

 

[Manos. AsuraZoro]

Because oda must have read hater comments of zoro's title doesn't mean strength or a swordsman with a df it's not a swordsman, so he could beat mihawk etc lol.
The reality is that zoro's dream it's much more than a swordfight and that is proven by zoro's resume.
He has fought against swordsmen but there were other situations that proved that WSS is a title that goes way beyond a swordfight.
King is the best example of what i am talking about, a guy that could fly and use lava like attacks is not your regular swordsman, at least not how the haters were visualising zoro's fights would be.
WSS is a person that is capable of cutting through logia powers, elements, mountains and pretty much everything.
That's one of the most dangerous people in the verse and that is why zoro will fight against any type of situation and rise to the top of the world with his swordmanship.
