Questions & Mysteries Zoro's lineage is... Bait

My future sight might be good but not that good.
Nobody can tell you that, obviously.
So you cant even imagine any possible way any of these characters can know anything about Zoro. Okay

I guess Luffy's lineage was also bait before we found out Dragon was his father. Also with Sanji....100% bait until we found out about Germa 66 :seriously:
@Money D Malio Who is Zoro’s father then? We are 150 chapters into the arc of Zoro’s supposed Origin and his father is nowhere in sight

it shouldn’t be bait
@Franosuke and yet it is
 
Its almost like there’s no set up for this so you cant even make up anything

Let me get this straight. You believe Oda went out of his way to not only mention that Zoro looks EXACTLY like two important figures from Wano, but also go out of his way to draw one of those characters into the story multiple times…just for it to be bait?

It’s not like there’s some other important character in the story right now who may be revealed to originate from Wano as opposed to Zoro. There is literally ZERO point in a fakeout. If anything, we’ve already had a fakeout when we found out that Kuina’s grandfather is Kozaburo…and yet since then we’ve gotten a full drawing of Ushimaru looking exactly like Zoro

Oda draws two Shimotsukis identical to Zoro and there is no setup?
The last Shimotsuki alive happens to be attracted by Zoro and becomes his only follower?
The last Shimotsuki dies and Shimotsukis make a comeback through Zoro?
The fox that was a companion of a Shimotsuki ends up having a plotline specifically with Zoro?

Oda is intentionally hiding a lot of stuff in this arc.
He has started countless plot points and hasnt finished even one of them.
Fight with Beast pirates is the wrong moment to dump such lore onto us.
Before the fight was also wrong time which leaves us with after the battle.
 
just for it to be bait?
Yes. He did that for Sunnachi as well. Oda had Momo say he learned Wano specific dialogue from Zoro. Then Oda in an SBS said Wano citizens Went to East blue. He even says in the SBS “They are related to someone we are familiar with”

Oda made this SBS like in volume 91… Cut to two years later in like Volume 99, Oda just straight up says the person who the wano citizens were related to was Kuina.

And the reason Zoro knows Wano words is Kuina’s grand father

Then recently Oda even went out of his way to break another theory by directly saying that guy who looks like Zoro is NOT Zoro’s father

over and over again Oda keeps doing this and you think he’ll stop?

@nik87
There is set up alright. There is set up for a Kuina and Tashigi situation. meaning its bait

My guy, the arc is over and none of this mattered

When has a strawhat’s backstory never mattered to the arc whatsoever like this? I bet like half of the people even reading remember this is a plot point at all
 
What? You think Zoro’s lineage matter to the defeat of Kaido and the opening of the borders?

hehehe.

Well there we have it. You’ve answered your own questions my friend :myman:
@Franosuke I asked “When has a strawhat’s backstory NEVER MATTERED to the ending of an arc?”

whats the answer? Which strawhat? Kaido was defeated without a single thing about Zoro’s backstory mattering. The borders are gonna be open without a singlw thing about Zoro’s backstory mattering. And even the Zoro vs King fight that had a Zoro backstory was actually a Kuina and Enma backstory instead barely had anything to do with Zoro really so even Zoro’s final fight in the arc HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS

Thats actually amazing. Oda is doing the beat bait I’ve ever seen. The King vs Zoro fight starts and Oda makes hyogoro and kawamatsu start talking about Ryuma. Then the fight ends with absolutely nothing abojt Ryuma mattering

As a comparison, the Queen vs Sanji fight started with Queen talking about Sanji’s fire must be coming from Genetic experiments from Judge. Then a twist happens that no, the fire actually doesnt have to do with Germa experiments, but Sanji does in fact have Germa genes and then its revealed Queen also has Germa tech

The entire Queen vs Sanji fight was about Germa shit and Sanji’s backstory which it implies at the very start

Contrast with Zoro where the Shimotsuki stuff plays ZERO PART in the fight even after being referenced at the start of the fight as well… Almost like… Its BAIT
