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
@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
