General & Others Why I’m a Zoro fan now

#41
I’m getting kinda sick and tired of people saying I’m “coping” or that I have “Stockholm syndrome” or some nonsense so I’ll just lay it out for you.

There are only two characters Oda never fails to disappoint on. Luffy and Zoro.

I literally waited 4 fucking years to see Kid do something in wano and the best he got was sharing screen time with Law, only to get negged the very next arc. Loda couldn’t even let him use basic CoC.

Meanwhile Zoro not only gets ACoA, blocks hakai, and scars Kaido. Oda gave him ACoC. Dude went from no CoC to ACoC in just one arc.

Why wouldn’t I be a Zoro fan when he’s the 2nd most important character. Why would I bet against Zoro when Oda almost always surpasses expectations with him? Why would I continue to be invested in characters Oda has shown he doesn’t care about?

People need to let go off their petty internet arguments and just enjoy the manga for what it is.
If you actually want to enjoy the story. Stop being a fan to any character and become Neutral like me. :goyea:

Trust me you will start seeing things better without being biased and having the urge to defend Shanks or Mihawk - Zoro or Sanji.

am sure he can come back and do something relevant

but the real issue is the payoff. will not match the kickback prior
neither law or kidd will come back and beat shanks or blackbeard after those two massacred them .
I think deep down you can acknowledge this


luffy gets a similar beat down
he's coming back and doing just that. you simply cannot compare how a luffy fan should feel about it to them.
The thing is, is Kid and Law don't have to come back and beat Shanks and Blackbeard, precisely because they aren't the MC. Luffy HAS to come back and avenge his losses because this is his story.

Both Kid and Law just need to come back more impressive the next time we see them. They will eventually get to the stage Luffy is on, even if they will never be the star of the show. No different than everyone else who stood on Roger's stage, but never was the main attraction.

Hell Law and Kid don't even have to get there before the current timeline concludes. It can be years later, but they will get there. All Oda has to do is make it so we understand that one day, these guys will be there. The Straw Hats will not reign supreme over an Ocean of weaklings, especially since this is meant to be the Great Pirate era.

You can be a fan of whoever you want mate there is no limit and everybody takes some Ls here and there.

Safest choice is Luffy ofc but wanking the MC like some extremists here is the most pathetic thing ever.
I mean all of us might be pathetic for wanking fictional characters but dickriding the MC who is destined to be the strongest is just sad.

Enjoy the manga however you want, but just be a fan of whatever character you like. Hopping because their fandom gets Ws sounds lame.

If you want a character that’ll always be a big deal no matter when he shows up, join the buggy fandom
It’s not about “Ws”, it’s the fact that I know without a doubt Zoro will get meaningful development and attention from Oda.

Out of curiosity, why don't you stan Luffy if all you care about is stacking abilities and Ws
:quest:
Zoro is honestly cooler, even if Luffy is ultimately the chosen one

Even then, Zoro has been ignored by oda in terms of attention since the timeskip started. Yeah he will get a few cool moments and a fight an arc, but oda ignores his actual character too much which pissed me off the most about wano.

Especially seeing Ryumas grave not happening, Luffy being given the Ryuma parallel that should’ve been Zoros, Luffy even getting the Yasuie flashback. Oda ignores all his characters except luffy

Oda did Kid wrong just to see who will stick to him even after that....now he will get good feats., next time he comes....:myman::kayneshrug:

I cant even understand why they get into any arguments and debates. Its the most insecure thing ever.
Motherfuckers you support the MC calm your tits he will be the strongest guy eos.
yep...someone trashtalk MC, MC fans should not retort back...but hardcore zoro stans who is secondary MC can do shit whatever they want...but MC fans shouldn't do that...it is a sin..right? ....double standards 101

Weak willed.

Anyway, I think you should be a Luffy fan first and foremost imo. Zoro sometimes is a "hit or miss" type character while Luffy always deliver despite many people complaining.
You can view it like this:

Luffy always deliver because he is the protagonist, which means the story requires him to be like that.

Meanwhile Zoro isn't #1, but Oda treats him like he is. It means him favoring Zoro is real, not obligated by narrative.

It feels different liking a character who gets special treatment from the author when they aren't the protagonist.

This also happened in naruto fandom. A lot of people are Itachi fans not because he is virtually perfect & invincible, but because Kishimoto wanks him a lot despite him just being a side character.

Zoro is a better character and infinitely stronger. That's all you needed to say.
And you can stay a Kidd fan, just a realistic one, which means understanding he is not a top tier at all and was never supposed to play any big role (that's the essence of his character but there is of course more to it).

Stfu with bullying the dude for changing his mind. At least he has the balls to accept things for what they are instead of staying delusional like the rest of you, Noobs. He never deleted his accounts or ran from the forum when things got harder, and the fact that people who did that are trying to attack him just for changing his mind is mindboggling to say the least.

Oda will not write kid properly
He can't write rivals!
He prefers fanservice and money over his own plots & characters he built

as ive said for years....

there is NO point in having anyone other than Luffy, Zoro, or Sanji (really just Luffy) as your main favorite and agenda driver


everyone else will dissapoint unless they are old gen and get some bs excuse
