No im not mixing anything up, zoro became wanted as the magistrate slasher after he killed him
i got the raw japanese
It says the magistrate killer/slasher during the hara-kiri thing
But it's more "daikan giri" like kamazou username "hito giri" the man killer
Giri means killer here
the kanji used by the guy here 斬り "killer" is the same zoro said to queen about kaido it's kill
so yes he did kill the magistrate when they use slasher its slasher that means kill.
and if you want even more proof toei japanese native speakers who do the subs even outright say magistrate killer
