the shoguns name is kurozumi orochi according to japanese mythology the yamata no orochi
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamata_no_Orochi
Yamata no Orochi (八岐大蛇 (ヤマタノオロチ), “8-branched giant snake”) or Orochi (大蛇), is a legendary 8-headed and 8-tailed Japanese dragon.
the god of storm susanoo killed the yamata no orochi
we know zoro uses several tornado attacks (tornados are storms) so zoro will defeat/kill the shogun like how susanoo killed yamata no orochi and oda is
oda and the writer of naruto are friends and oda had done shoutouts to naruto before with raizo
and asura reminds me of susanoo plus remember itachi susanoo vs. orochimaru
and
along with this
The words of Oden’s wife’s curse in the VIZ version are “You are the moon unaware of the dawn / May your purpose be fulfilled / And cast nine shadows on the night woven of 20 years / And you shall know the brilliance of the dawn.” Kyoshiro states in MS that Orochi “saw through it”, whereas in JB/VIZ he “deciphered”/“interpreted” it. Finally, in MS he states he’d like to “cross blades” with the ghosts of the Kozuki Clan, while in JB and VIZ he says that he wants “to play along with him” / “see that one play out”.
so zoro will kill orochi with the asura technique which allows him to use 9 sword style which is fitting for 20 years he was afraid of tokis prophecy about the 9 shadows ( because one of the abilitys of yamata no orochi fruit may make it hard to kill him unless you get all 8 heads simultaneously like the hydra of course the part with asora was from an older version of the theory where I thought the shogun was different from what he is know so zoro may end up killing orochi with one sword style since susanoo used one sword
and he could get a new sword in orochis main sword which will reference The legendary sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, which came from the tail of Yamata no Orochi and how susanoo had obtained it from the yamata no orochis body (though susanoo in the myths had given it to amateratsu to settle an old grievance) they could change it so zoro keeps the blade along with shusui and sandai kitetsu (given that its the lowest ranking sword) breaks or he can give kusanagi away or he can return shusui
maybe wado ichimonji breaks given its importance to zoro
the reason why I think one of zoros swords will end up breaking during/due to his fight against orochi s because of the fact that when
Susanoo no Mikoto chopped the serpent into small pieces. When he came to the tail, the edge of his sword broke, and he therefore split open the tail and examined it. In the inside there was a sword. This is the sword which is called Kusa-nagi no tsurugi.
so it would fit if orochi breaks one of zoros swords despite in the end losing to him
on zoro beating orochi and taking the sword remember how moriah put his shadow into jigoro of the Wind and kusanagi was a wind sword plus zoro had interest in a fire sword and interested in kinemons techniques.
And in myth kusanagi was used to help the person stop fire that surrounded him “Yamato Takeru was lured onto an open grassland during a hunting expedition by a treacherous warlord. The lord had fiery arrows loosed to ignite the grass and trap Yamato Takeru in the field so that he would burn to death. He also killed the warrior’s horse to prevent his escape. Desperately, Yamato Takeru used the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi to cut back the grass and remove fuel from the fire, but in doing so, he discovered that the sword enabled him to control the wind and cause it to move in the direction of his swing. Taking advantage of this magic, Yamato Takeru used his other gift, fire strikers, to enlarge the fire in the direction of the lord and his men, and he used the winds controlled by the sword to sweep the blaze toward them. In triumph, Yamato Takeru renamed the sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (“Grasscutter Sword”) to commemorate his narrow escape and victory. “ so it would fit for zoro to take orochis sword to use against king whose epitaph is the wildfire/conflagration which would lead to him being able cut through fire .
zoro would face the king calamity who is a fire swordsman and zoro showed an interest in cutting fire
and the king calamity and queens relationship have been compared to sanji and zoros
and sanji and zoro have faced opponents who had a similar dynamic to them in the past like kaku and jabura,
Some trivia regarding King. In Oda’s One shot, Monsters, where Ryuuma was first introduced, the Strongest Swordsman in the country was called the KING of Swordsmen and Ryuuma ( who looks just like zoro) was traveling to find and defeat him. I won’t spoil who the King of Swordsmen was but short story shorter, Ryuuma ended up acquiring the title of King of Swordsmen by the end. I believe the use of the name King for the Calamity has a double meaning. First it matches the Card theme of the Beast Pirates and second, it’s a reference to Monsters, to say that King is in fact the strongest swordsman currently in Wano. and zoro will fight him
