Questions & Mysteries Will Mihawk actually be Zoro's final opponent?

I have no idea and that's the beauty of it.
However, do you think he drew Death swinging the scythe at Zoro for nothing?
Do you think Zoro has been parroting about Grim Reaper and Hell since East Blue for nothing?
I understand why you would hope it is for nothing but whether it is or not, we have yet to see.
You have no idea, because there no possible stop point for that to happen. Each arc has an opponent set for Zoro that a fight against which an imaginary death itself has no chance to participate and Zoro isn’t gonna have an arc revolved around him. Zoro talking about death isn’t something exclusive to him as many other characters has had the same mind set such as Jinbei who is literally a death flag never stop talking about dying. You simply fail to realize Zoro ain’t that important. Oda didn’t bother to make Zoro a man of his word about rounding the Samurai or killing Kaido or avenging Yasue or bothered to continue mention Zoro’s lineage in the manga despite hinting it. GR coming to Zoro was out of the blue that’s true. However, it made sense as Zoro near death doors which made it as a symbolic moment. Just be satisfied that Zoro is gonna fight Mihawk, Shiryu and an admiral by eos. That’s more than enough for him as the story is near ending.

Zoro has cheated death more than any other and he proclaimed himself King of Hell.
All the talk about Hell since Alabasta or even earlier paid off in form of mastery of 5th path, Hell path.
And Grim Reaper literally manifested in front of Zoro in Wano and all that went nowhere.

Zoro and Death arent done with each other, it would be very unwise to think there wont be more about it.
Zoro was many times at death's door and Grim Reaper never appeared before.
Zoro fights many opponents per arc and you think he will fight only EthanBaron in the greatest war ever? :myman:
I guess Death's purpose is to cement that Zoro is number #1 of the universe as no mortal is stronger than Death itself.
Other than Zoro, that is...

A bunch of wishful thinking. I guess only Oda is gonna stop you and give you reality check.:cheers:
 
The biggest joke of all times must be "Zoro vs Mihawk can't happen since Zoro won't kill his teacher," because honestly, it makes me ask if we are reading the same damn Manga. Since when does Zoro kill anyone in an on-panel fight? He didn't kill Mister 1, the opponent that pushed him the closest to death after Mihawk, until this day. But all of a sudden the WSS match needs to be to the death?

Furthermore, this would mean that Zoro would kill the ONE character who specifically spared his life? Fucking why? The most Zoro would EVER do to Mihawk is permanently injure him via taking one of his arm/scaring him. Nothing more was ever going to happen, even before Zoro trained under him.

This fantasy world where Zoro needs to KILL Mihawk or else it is not "legit" enough is pure copium. Purerly repeated to discredit the idea that the motherfucker Oda has built up over 1000 chapters ago as the WSS is somehow not going to be the WSS and the re-match with Zoro won't happen.

They know it is a fight with the longest build-up in the series, by far and they know it is the most important fight in the show.
Of course they will do everything they can to discredit it. However, regardless of their effort, that fight cannot be stopped. :myman:

Buggy will sit on the empty throne therefore mihawk is definitely reaching final war arc.

I'm inclined to believe mihawk and crocodile are related to high class nobles.

Battle royale between zoro, mihawk and nasajuro to settle the WSS once and for all.
 
It will be cool if Zoro gets to fight more people after Mihawk, just to show off some strongest swordsman badassery. The same way Luffy will do now after defeating the strongest creature
 
By the end of the series, the only thing more rare than a black blade will be the amount of people who held the pirate king title, but people rather act retarded on purpose than give Mihawk credit as an endgame opponent.

Shanks and Kizaru aint his fights bro, the rest make sense. Pick an admiral with an actual sword and a character not central to Luffy (which already is Mihawk).
Why do you think Kizaru is Luffy's fight when he is Zoro opponent 101?
The cog in the machine who does nothing else but fight? A mere soldier with no narrative.
While the leader with narrative and scumbag personality is right there to entertain Luffy...

Can we count Joyboy as Pirate King because he is the one who reached Raftel before other two and it is his treasure after all? :sanmoji:

Except he's missing the key ingredient for "Zoro opponent 101", an actual sword lol. He only used a light based sword once to fight Rayleigh (who mind you, is Luffy's mentor, not Zoro's), and yet every other primary method of attacking stems from kicking and using lasers.

Like in that case, a Sanji fan could argue he is more of a Sanji opponent because he's used his legs FAR more than he'a used a light sword.

Zoro Isnt defeating an Admiral before Luffy either lol and the Gorosei doesnt even want to leave the ship at this time. Luffy generally also gets his matchups first and the fights last the entire conflict, not the last matchup

Come on bro, I know you know this.

Also Kizaru was bullying the hell out of Luffy in Sabaody and Marineford, to the point where Luffy promised to get stronger than him and Akainu.
I used to subscribe to Zoro vs Kizaru but it seems more and more clear that Luffy will be the one to fight him, doesn't make sense for Luffy to say "I'll become stronger than Kizaru, Sentomaru and Kuma" and then just never fight one of them.

He has a sword so he is covered in that regard to be Zoro's opponent and not all of them have swords to begin with...
Kicks and lasers are low tier attacks that are useless in Kizarus hardest fight ever, vs Rayleigh the swordsman. Being Luffy's mentor has nothing to do with it. Rayleigh is a Zoro parallel, not Luffy parallel. And Zoro's mentor was superior to Luffy's mentor, thus better training results.

If two others have beaten a Yonko before Luffy and one other has beaten an Admiral before Luffy, Oda isnt really holding his breath to make Luffy first to do things...
Saturn doesnt want to move until he decides otherwise, you are one chapter away from changing your mind. You know this very well, Zoro showed everyone that one chapter he is farthest away from rooftop while in next chapter he is first on the rooftop.

Trust me, I have nothing against Zoro/Kizaru either, but when you look at how Oda generally applies Luffy's victories, there is a standard: Luffy beats a Shichibukai first (or rather....3 times), a YC and Yonko all first, the same makes sense for an Admiral before the Fleet Admiral.

It also just fundamentally makes sense for Kizaru of all people. Luffy is the only character with FS at this time, and it makes that if he needs to keep up with a light based character, he needs to probably use it to the max in this case because he's never mastered it. Zoro has never once been shown to have FS (he does have observation, we know this at least) or established the means of using it yet, but Im sure he'll need it for Mihawk in the end.

He doesnt really, no. Its evidently not his primar method of fighting nor does he carry one around. He's as much a "swordsman" as Aokiji is, who quite literally was just shown being Garp's protege in punch strength lol. There is quite literally no comparison to Fujitora.

Kicks and lasers are low tier attacks that are useless in Kizarus hardest fight ever, vs Rayleigh the swordsman. Being Luffy's mentor has nothing to do with it. Rayleigh is a Zoro parallel, not Luffy parallel. And Zoro's mentor was superior to Luffy's mentor, thus better training results.
Kicks and lasers are all he used against Whitebeard, Marco and any foddernova in Sabaody. He used a sword against Rayleigh because it called for a sword. Its not his primary fighting style.

Again, a Sanji fan could make a better claim than you about Sanji fighting Kizaru this arc of thats the route you wanna go

If two others have beaten a Yonko before Luffy and one other has beaten an Admiral before Luffy, Oda isnt really holding his breath to make Luffy first to do things...
Kid and Law tag teamed a character that lost the same arc. Your point would have made more sense if Big Mom lost to them in WCI without Luffy.

Saturn doesnt want to move until he decides otherwise, you are one chapter away from changing your mind. You know this very well, Zoro showed everyone that one chapter he is farthest away from rooftop while in next chapter he is first on the rooftop.
Pot meet kettle, because Saturn could very well just be Kuma as he was in Thriller Bark, a looming threat that forces them to run after.

And Zoro going to the rooftop is irrelevant since he didnt actually kill or defeat Kaido....
