Break Week Why Zoro will fight Vergo in the future

#42
snow leopards are much smaller than southeastern tigers anyway, and they live in alpine environments, so it has no relation to bamboo. But sure he is a tiger if Oda says so

Truth is Oda could have thought of ways to finish Vergo with swordsmanship, with Law himself or a team up with Zoro. Zoro would be the better candidate to triumph over Vergo than Law based on animal inspirations.

it is also more fitting that bamboo’s resilience and strength is actually overcome with power and skill, not magical df power. Maybe the panel of Vergo thinking he is a swordsman is more than just gag…
Look, I'll be blunt here because I don't want to keep feeding this conversation:

The only reason why you're so fixated on swordsmanship and bamboo is because you don't know better, because you're too ignorant on this issue to know beyond and therefore believe this staple of cutting bamboo is more important than it actually is. Oda doesn't give a shit, Oda didn't see "a swordsman cutting bamboo" as something so relevant that he must put it in his work because he's Japanese, because he has it normalized, because he knows more than you do. Oda went for the tiger overcoming the obstacle in the form of Torao beating the Demon Bamboo from his past who seemed like an unbeatable wall because of his armament haki. The tiger achieved it and slashed the obstacle, whether it was through sheer swordsmanship or not is pointless; that's the symbolism, period.

You are obsessed with swordsmanship cutting through bamboo? That's your problem, not Oda's. I don't know, just learn more about Japan so a sword cutting bamboo doesn't sound so fundamental and transcendent to you. Because it's not.

Thanks for the lore about tigers and bamboo. It helps support the theory.

Bamboo is linked to real life swordsmanship. Your intuition is different. You think Oda would ignore swordsmanship, because Law didn’t so swordsmanship, he used a df. Based on the lore you gave, I think bamboo should be defeated not with tricks but with power and skill. That is more fitting
