Silver2195 posted:We have seen Zoro lose since the time skip, though. He got knocked out by a surprise attack from the Yeti Cool Brothers' gas and knocked away by Fujitora. What he hasn't really had is a close fight. He did need Elizabello's help to avoid hurting civilians in the process of taking out Pica, if that counts for anything. I don't think those count as losses.

The Yeti-cool brothers were losers who somehow knocked out all the strawhats (through sleep gas or something maybe?) then did nothing interesting or important for the rest of the arc. They were hella lame, and their actions should be ignored.

Getting knocked away is not a loss and I don't know how you can justify it as that when they never really had a fight at all.

SyntheticPolygon posted:This Zoro fight was more than one hit I think. I mean one hit to the actual body, but multiple hits to the stone giant. Clearly Zoro was racking up hits so that he could increase his combo counter so that Pica would be easier to take down.

Fujitora gets knocked away by luffy in just this recent chapter... But Luffy also gets knocked away by Fujitora.. So I guess they both lost.

Re: Zoro talk Are you guys kidding me? You want Nami to have real fights and you want Zoro to struggle? What have you been reading? Have you all just been steaming since the loving Buggy arc? Zoro's entire character is that he doesn't have any difficulty with these worms when he isn't handicapped somehow. He literally always has a huge disadvantage that stops him from performing at his highest potential and once that's lifted he ends the fight immediately. You want LONGER Zoro fights? Please, god no, this Pica poo poo was awful. Something like ten chapters chasing some stupid psuedo-logia around (gently caress you that octopus attack was logia-ish or at least Pica's true form wasn't there, it was a weird fight) is not what I want from Zoro. Every single one of his other fights has been a complete stomp. And if anybody says Kaku I swear to god (he had the famous handicap of being cuffed to Usopp, once he lost that, he toyed with Kaku for a bit before revealing a technique he had known all along that oneshot him, poo poo wasn't even close). The closest Zoro probably ever came to losing, except for Mihawk of course, was maybe Daz Bones. And Fujitora knocked him away because his goddamn sword is overpowered as gently caress. He literally opened up the Earth and threw Zoro into it. Zoro then immediately counterattacked and Fuji even remarked on the power of it. That poo poo was far from over. They didn't have a reason to continue but using that as an example of why Zoro isn't ready for admirals is a mistake in my book. I wouldn't be surprised to see any of the Monster Trio solo an admiral at this point. They're just not the strongest force in the series like they used to be. The crew is gonna be taking on Yonkou and Blackbeard members and the loving Fleet Admiral at some point.

Advice posted:Re: Zoro talk I don't want longer Zoro fights, I want ones where he is compelled and has difficulty. That makes it a good "fight" rather than just a set piece for Zoro to cut some mountain to rubble. You bring up Kaku as a fight he easily won once he tried but Zoro was outmanoeuvred multiple times in that fight. Not just from the Sogeking thing, even after being freed he was honestly coming up short until he got desperate enough to bust out Asura. Also, I don't care if Zoro needs to be at a disadvantage to give him a challenging match, then just give him a disadvantage. You could argue he was at a disadvantage against Ryuuma, Mr 1, or Kaku, but that doesn't change that they were good fights. I'd like to see more of that, cause he hasn't had a real fight since the timeskip just a bunch of set-pieces to show he's one tough motherfucker. And hell, they were cool, I enjoyed most of those moments. But I think i'd enjoy a good fight more.

I will agree that the fight with Ryuuma (only had two swords) versus the fight against , say, Hachi (had grievous wounds) was much better thematically and made for a more interesting watch/read. I'm just trying to be a smartass, I guess, by pointing out that we don't really know what a fight where Zoro is legit challenged will look like. And I can't imagine him struggling much against anyone now that he's been trained by the greatest swordsman on the planet. If he doesn't go the classic route, Oda's gonna have trouble explaining why a guy who was locked in a cell underwater with nobody to fight for years was able to hone his skills enough to be on Zoro's level.
