Character Discussion Why Zoro still remains the Best Straw Hat

#81
This falls under his aurafarming moments. When Zoro takes over, he's the main man running the show but other than that he's barely a character.

I will say though, his moments with the crew in Elbaf were very natural and I was loving it but the focus turned to the HKs kidnapping the kids and boom just like he fades into the background yet again. He's made a return in the latest chapter though so hopefully he gets more panel time and continues the trend he's shown this arc instead of the trend he's showed the rest of Post-TS
He is better suited to be a captain or enemy rival of the main character than subordinate.

Admirals wouldn't fall even from Asura.
What a load of shit.
One Dragon Damnation splits an admiral in half.

I don't have a problem with him being extremely loyal to Luffy. It's just the constant glazing in moments like the King fight as @ZenZu stated which pisses me off. Loyalty was one of Zoro's best attributes because while he was extremely loyal, he was also his own guy calling out Luffy's bad decisions keeping him in check. He was loyal to Luffy's success but he was also keeping it real instead of blind loyalty following stupid decisions.

LMAOOOO
No YC2 struggles with Smoker dude.
Lucci got one shot by Zoro, Admirals wouldn't fall even from Asura.



Close enough :kayneshrug:
Smoker was Chopper to Vergo's Queen.

Both Vergo and Queen were beating pre Exo Sanji, except Queen didn't really hold back while Vergo used neither his FBH nor demon bamboo.

It was still Zoro who told Luffy not to go to Mariejois to save Vivi.
He still didn't blindly cheerleading Luffy and sometimes still keeps his idiot captain in check @ZenZu

The Admirals are too strong for that

Difference is Queen clapped Chopper when he got serious and even said he was playing with him
Meanwhile Vergo had a high diff fight with Smoker
Also Queen literally said he was holding back because he wanted to see Sanji's Germa abilities.
You don't even read the manga lmao

Nah Luffy doesn't deserve loyalty. He should honestly beat the fuck outta Luffy in 1v1 fight and leave the crew.

That would pump life into One Piece.

So much hypocrisy in this thread same people blasting zoro for bringing up luffy in that panel ignore 41 years old grown ass man twerker acting like literal dog smh
That was Greenbull's introduction and it makes him super unique among the Admirals. Every single Admiral has a strong personality and even beefs Akainu, they are their own man. GB has a strong personality but wants a pat on his back. It's so different to the point that it is odd, and makes him stand out.

Zoro is just like every other pirate underling lackey, this was paralleled with King literally in the same fight.

Yea in terms of balance between relevant and not completely ruined I'd say he's second to Nami. She's prominent in every arc she's in and she's not nearly as one-tone as Zoro is. Only downside you can point to is increased cheap visual fanservice.

I've enjoyed Franky more than Zoro too, but he's not as prominent, though when he is on screen he does have a solid presence.

Sanji is dead to me since WCI, Luffy since Wano. The rest barely pass as supporting characters.
Nah brah nami's ruined compeltely, she is just there for fan service mainly nothing productive plot or character wise same old dialouges at best...same is with Robin too now..so much for a phoneglyph reader..most important character BS

He's the poster boy for how Oda doesn't give a shit about others. I guess he never did, but as he tries to close the show the crew is just off to the side in the pissy corner of every plot in a very blatant way.

Combined, wtf did Chopper, Nami, Usopp, Jinbe, Brooke, Franky, and Robin even do at Egghead. What's the current score in Elbaf lol, remember when people thought Usopp would whip out a big old dong as he'd been talking up the desire to be there for like twenty years.

Wasn't popularity poll enough to tell that?
:luffywat:
Zoro more or less carries one piece , majority of people started out because of Zoro and Mihawk.
Popularity polls are done by OP fans who worship the ground oda walks on and still think this is a good story. Popularity means nothing when discussing writing.

Also Zoro is one of the first characters introduced and he’s really cool so from the start, he attracts people and stays along for the ride so they’re less likely to let him go as their favourite character as opposed to someone who appears later but isn’t as prevalent.

Zoro was a great character pre-TS who regressed into a non character post-TS who’s practically a Luffy glazer and an aura farmer. It’s sad considering he was phenomenal at one point in terms of writing but oda is a fraud so oh well

I don't know if I would ever call Zoros writing "phenomenal" at any point in the story, but it's certainly regressed after the skip

That's some clown shit lmao

Green Brocolli was introduced kissing Luffys ass like rest of the world and immediately got turned into a bitch by Shanks.

Even worst of Zoro, he's shown more respect than that. Gabans introduced >>>>> Green Brocollis introduction.

Lets not even compare him to high end character introductions like Zoro Rayleigh Kaido etc

Nah Greenbull is dope, he's a clown but he's at least a unique character for his post. Zoro is just a bot bro. Lackey #234.

I look forward to seeing Greenbull, Zoro is boring af.

What unique lmao
He literally got introduced as Akainu Cum Swallower, Gorosei worshipper, with Replica Black Blade and got turned into a bitch by shanks after telling us he's scared of Kaido.

It is a joke to compare him to pre time skip Zoro but even post time skip, even current Zoro is arguably better character.

It is hilarious to call Zoro a bad characters (which is fine) and glazing legitimately trash characters.
