Discussion Zoro Discussion Thread

[Erinyes]

I'd love her to get Enma, and instead of Zoro just trading for a different Wano sword, for him to be forged his own great blade by Tenguyama Hitetsu. He did make a blade for Oden, which was one of the 21 great swords, so why not a special one for Zoro? Enough of this "this sword used to belong to...", Zoro should have his own blade.

Spoiler

That ! i agree, Zoro is meant to be a legendary swordman, as such he needs his own signature sword, something unique, that fits him, and only him, not another legendary one borrowed/inherited from another great person.

Oh now that Yamato introduced herself as the one who carries Oden will, she got his journal, she knows a lot, she is very strong, she has plans for the country, shes likely a swordwoman, she is strongly linked with "oni*" (kind of oger/devils in japanese folklore) symbolism and in Japanese/bouddhist mythology they are linked to Enma, i think shes the one who will likely inherits Enma, she seems to be the most qualified, for now, or at least that makes sense to me.

Keep spoilers in the spoiler thread (or at least mark them as unreleased chapter spoilers) before scans are out. Kinda ruined the surprise for me yesterday.

To be fair, Zoro has links to Buddhism too. It'd be underwhelming imo if Zoro hands over Enma to an Oden fan. At this stage of the arc it might be okay? I definitely would be against it if Zoro has meaningful battles with it - especially if he makes it black.

I am not sure where the idea came from that Zoro would hand over Enma, to anyone else than back to Hiyori, if it happens in the first place.
I saw some comments about Enma going to Yamato... Like, why?
Yamato isnt even a swordsman from what we saw so far and even if she was, why would Zoro give her Enma?

Because she likes Oden and wants to fulfill his dreams? So do the 9 Scabbards...
On the other hand, I am all for Zoro getting rid of Enma but handing it over to Yamato seems baseless...

I'm of the mindset Zoro will surpass Oden's feats this arc, so maybe Yamato fangirls Zoro at some point. She made the comment about no samurai surpassing Oden since.

It could happen but I still see no reason why Yamato would get Enma.
If Zoro decides to give it away, I assume he would give it back to Hiyori.
I am theorizing about Zoro destroying Enma when he tries to blacken it.

haha that is just too mean. Hiyori gives a sword from her late father and zoro just destroys it even when he is still in wano.
The part about returning the sword seems to be more possible, imo

 

[King Moe]

Don't see Zoro doing much heavily as seems Yamato more link to Luffy from how Oda is pushing. She could find interest over Enma and Ame Swords that Momo and Zoro have, but don't think it be that overall to gain her entire interest unlike Luffy has since he be the one to defeat Kaido himself. Though could be moment in Zoro and Momo vs Orochi for when taking out the guy responsible more in messing with Oden overall for that if Orochi's real life lore turns out to be true on his abilities.

 

[Pirate Queen]

I'm guessing Zoro gives Yamato Enma and she somehow gets her hands on the other blade and repeats Oden's famous slash to deal a vicious blow against Kaido. It would be fitting for the second coming of Oden to repeat such a feat

I didn't think of that. Could be possible or Zoro gives it to Luffy to push more Yamato sees him as the next 'Oden' given how he is.

I refuse to believe Luffy uses a sword to cut Kaido, even tho he could. No. Luffy punching Kaido to defeat is far more impressive then cutting Kaido.

Well Enma and Ame use Haki of their user, so Luffy doesn't need to be expert, but combination of G4 (New Form) or G5 could help end Kaido in a instant with double strike from him. Could be interesting to see on Luffy.

 

[nik87]

Yamato will become a master swordsman just because a forum user wishes so. Or Luffy will cut the toughest being just because he holds a sword. I just lost couple of brain cells.

 

[Brandish μ]

Guys, stay on topic. Take the PL to the PL thread, and be discussing that Zoro not others.

 

[Grandmaster Woro]

imo, zoro will use the enma sword to deal some nasty injuries to king or kaido.

Why Enma specifically? What's wrong with his other 2 swords?

Well zoro wounding kaido hard will be a good throwback to oden almost killing kaido. Or king if kaido is exclusive for luffy, i guess.

 

[afromarco005]

Zoro and the others will team up to get kaido for sure.
There is no way luffy who almost had to go gear 4th (all out) to beat Ulti and

Spoiler

gets his gear 2 and 3 attacks casually blocked by yamato

will solo kaido.

Remember last yonko who got defeated was killed by a whole crew after hours of battle and severe wounds not just one person's efforts.

Zoro will cut Kaido's scales and help defeating him for sure.

Luffy certainly doesn't need to be an expert swordsman, but it's just uncharictaristic. Zoro is more fitted to pas down the sword to an Oden fanatic who can use it well.

I can even see Yamato and Zoro getting along pretty well

I think it's obvious at this point Zoro will cut him in some capacity

To be honest I just want to get to the fights already, Zoro and the others desperately need some action while luffy gets all the fun...
