Ok i have found something really interesting for my Zkk boys. Let's start
1) i have always wondered why Oda choose specifically Lightning to display advanced COC and i think i have found some of the inspiration for oda's decision wich coincidentally ties perfectly with Zkk
2) Remember that oda did something really specific with chapter 1010 wich is : a) "Look Zoro got advanced coqueror's haki!" and b) "BUT he doesn't have black lightning YET"
Ok now the point is :
In hindu mythology there is a demon called Vritra :
1) Vritra is dragon
2) described to block access to water and therefore famine in the land
3) thunderstorm clouds appear with vritra
4) his skin can't be penetrated by any weapon except 1 specially forged weapon called the Vajra a thunderbolt sword wielded by the Indra.
Ok so i think there is a pretty good chance Vritra = Kaido, and i'm quite confident that Oda choose lightning as inspiration from this legend
Now you may ask yourself if we can draw parallels between Indra and Zoro , well i could only find 3:
1) Indra is a drunken
2) He is the god the realm of Devas , one of the six realms of buddhist teachings that Zoro follows. Still more reading of Indu-buddhist stuff is needed
3) this is an interesting one , INDRA DRUNK A SPECIAL RITUAL LIQUID before fighting Vritra, this beverage is called "Soma"
I hope you enjoyed
