One Piece

Gonna hit y'all with some harsh red pills.

Zoro is a character designed purely to draw in chuuni readers who would naturally gravitate to edgier material like Naruto. Oda never intended for Zoro or his "arc" to matter. Why is it his backstory is the least developed of all the Strawhats? Why is it he hasn't grown as a character besides shallow pretenses like "muh captain?" It's because he's just there to do cool shit and placate the demo he was designed to appeal to. With the introduction of characters like Trafalgar Law, Eustass Kid, Zoro's necessity as the edgelord character has deteriorated. Ultimately, Zoro is the most expendable Strawhat for Luffy will gain allies that are just as strong, if not stronger than Zoro is, and they have defined arcs that will reach a satisfying conclusion through combat, whereas Zoro's is just "getting stronger." That would be nice, but Zoro's strength relation to the rest of the story is undefined and unimportant, so it never really matters if he gets stronger. No one ever mentions the people Zoro defeated, nor does it ever play a factor in the story in a significant way.

His most defining moment in the story was even fittingly described when he uttered the words "nothing happened." For nothing narratively engaging or rewarding came about it. Kuma was never planning on killing Luffy either, and would've just as easily bullshitted an excuse to the World Government like he did in canon.

It seemed like Oda was finally going to give narrative weight to the weightless swordsman in Wano, but even that was merely to give him a new sword. A sword who's rules and conditions will not be consistent with Zoro's use of it, as Oden isn't a brainless power fantasy like Zoro, and is a character with deep importance to the story of One Piece. Oh sure, Zoro's gonna make his black, but that's to sell him up as the edgy character because black is cool and edgy, kids. Please buy Enma Zoro fig at a store near you

What does it say about a character when even Luffy doesn't trust him as a crewmember and would rather trust literal strangers over him, and actively try to kill his crewmember when he never even went that far with villains of the arc?

Luffy didn't even wanna hear him out, he just wanted to see Zoro die...

Why is Zoro so boring now?

Most don't even talk about their past. Moving forward from there is what really matters to them.

Drafted Admirals are WG pawns, if I was a vice admiral in the OP world and got my one opportunity at promotion took away from me by fucking "drafted" cunts, I would have left the marines and became a sweet potatoes farmer

Well it depends on matchups, doesn't it? Fujitora is gravity, he might do well against Kizaru.

weak.

Zoro trusts Luffy and knew everything would get fixed

No it's not

Absolutely fucking worthless piece of shit character.

All strawhats are boring now

>sweet potatoes farmer
yeah not fooling me put a 100mil bounty on this deserter

True. When Luffy almost cried and pissed and shitted when he heard about poor Wano I cringed. He didn't have the same reaction about the suffering in Alabasta or, more aloofness but willingness to help, same goes for Dressrosa too. His character was destroyed for Wano, the worst arc.

go back and read Udon again
you probably blanked out that Kiku was important in the escape and I don't blame you, but it happened

imagine the breast enlargements.

I like him

balding piratefolk refugee

>Kiku was important in the escape
No, Caribou was

Zoro was great because of his interactions with the crew, preTS has completely given up on giving us proper SH scenes so all the SH are worse since they don't get to bounce back and forth each others

Greenbull's gimmick is pretending to be hurt. He wasn't really scared of Shank's just chose not to fight 2 yonkos at once

and Queen is just a big fat slow target wating to get entangled in vines

it's no wonder how Green Bull beat them
go try and punch huge tree trunks and try to break vines with your fist and see how far you get
shit's tough, tougher than dinosaur skin

For that Yamatofag's own good I hope Zoro and Yamato never interact, Yamatofags hate him almost as much as the furry for some reason
Ignore them

Raizo of the MIST dono is so cool.
Better ninja than Scatruto.

Caribou was the MVP yes but Kiku helped
she was the most useless scabbard though I can't argue against that

literally the only decent scabbard, I hope we get a Raizo teach Caribou the way of the ninja cover story

Today I have fapped to Carrot 3 times already. Going for at least 5.

it's what Oden would have done

This. Most shs became either too commercial or repeat a gimmick. There is barely conflict or human interactions, just fanart bait and soulles commercial interactions

I agree with this. Luffy hasn't grabbed zoro and bashed his head into the side of the sunny for too many chapters. Yamato isn't an official strawhat until she gets bashed into the sunny and luffy says "warui warui"

>Yamatofags hate him
Why do you keep pushing this narrative. Zoro and Yamato are my top 2 favorites

Luffy and his 3 Commanders right there

To be fair we never see the SHs really have have any conversations amongst each other anymore. Only in the movies but that's only because Oda has one plot for them so it's easier for him. But when have we ever have them talk about their two years apart before returning to Sabaody? They interact side characters more than with each other

That's because Zoro, like the rest of the Strawhats make room for guest comrades like Law, Kinemon, Momonosuke, Tama, Carrot, etc., who they share scenes with. Zoro still had some great scenes on his own while wandering around alone and especially with Luffy in Act 1.

wait......are they actually doing this?
They are using Uta as a V-tuber?
Damn Toei knows how money works.....

shut up bonneyfag

I don't understand it myself, since it's a generalization that carries zero weight for actual fans of Yamato and Zoro.

I can't imagine how much oda has to fuck up for his fans to complain.
Snk ending was shit and yet it was well received by the the large part of fans (and no some Any Forumsnons anger is not enough to call it a failure)
Knowing that the delusion of average one piece fans runs way deeper and they are ready to create a theory about forshadowing from random details of the shadow of luffy ass few arcs ago to justify new things , just how much effort it would take from oda to piss them off? I think he literally have to leave blank pages on all future chapters to get any kind of real negative reaction.

Since Akainu's win quote to Rukia is "Why have you been relieved of your sentence? The actions of that traitor do not excuse what you have done!", what would his win quote to Yoruichi be in a fighting game?

i don't see it, or am i retarded?

So Uta will get the Shiki treatment right?
She's a canon character but will never be relevant in the story.

>tfw Sanjishizo ruined Kingposting

Fightfags are confused and threatened because it's honestly arguable which of the 2 is stronger right now
zoro is stronger

That's fair. It's more to do with just the Strawhats travelling together for a while. After splitting them up so much since Dressorosa it'll be good to have them together again. I just wonder what Oda i going to do with Law and Kid, since they have the same bounty as Luffy now and will have a big target on their backs. I'd rather the Strawhats travel alone for a while after Wano.

The list is obvious bait so don’t think too hard about it.

Caribou can transport an infinite amount of objects OR living people

while carrying those objects and people

He can transport anything anywhere
He could carry the entire Grand Fleet into the heart of a marine fortress
