YOOOOOOO GG
I like Zoro because he is a less childish version of Luffy, equaly as stupid, but more mature.
So I like him because I like Luffy, and everybody likes Luffy.
Zoro isnt more mature he is just more serious 😂
Nothing mature about being serious all the time hahaha
@@adoniscreed4031 😂
He isn’t as stupid as Luffy he’s less dumb but not smarter
@@mitcheltillman2461 he is just strong enough that he doesn't have to think, when he needs to think other people do it for him, like when he is lost he finds someone smart (bonney,the tontata girl) or beat the bad guys and force them to help him
@@devforfun5618 that’s how people play video games lol in real life you kinda rely on your friends to think sometimes too lol it takes a lot to rely on others! That takes strength too.
I'll always thought that Zoro wanted to defeat his childhood friend Kuina, the one who he couldn't beat at the time. But since she died, Zoro was left without ever knowing if he could, so he decides to be the best swordsman as that would only be the next best thing aswell as a good confirmation that he had the potential to beat Kuina
Yeah but he wanted to be the strongest before that. That just motivated him even more.
bra what? he wanted to become the worlds best cuz they kept a promise that one of them would become the worlds best nd she died
Quina had the same goal as Zoro to becoming the best and by the time she starts fighting Zoro, she already know that she will never be the best, being a woman and all. Really sad and shows why she is calmly accepting her fate and becoming better that everyone at the sword until her age catches up. It is near that time, when we see the breakdown Quinna had and only then Zoro decides to make a deal with her to keep her going. After all, she is his sparring partner and the only one able to keep up with him and earn his respect, which is a core thing to samurai’s lifestyle.
Wonder if it’s some kind of tragic irony Sensei Oda built, where fate killed Quina along Zoro’s parents and/or retainers in order for him to evolve into the man he is.
@Killer Sloth I desagree, before meeting kuina he wanted only a worth oponent, cause he beat the shit out all the kids in his village, so he was a typical delinquent kid who meet a strong oponent and now he want defeat him, because losing for Zoro hurts much more the ego than any sword cut will ever hurt.
Sometimes its a simple answer
He had a dream of becoming the worlds strongest when he was training in the dojo.
After Kuina died it manifested into an ambition.
Could be wrong but makes sense. It was more of a dream before Kuina died. Now its a promise.
I agree, in One Piece, Legacy of Dreams is what drives all the main characters. All Blue, King of Pirates, Best Swordsman, Know all poneglyph etc... All this ambition had already been someone else's, Zeff, Gol D. Roger, Kuina, citizens of Ohara.
Even Black Beard once said "People's dreams have no end"
nah man, it was already an ambition for him, he was already shown to be training an insane ammount, had kuina not died then zoro eventually would have gotten stronger than her and did the same thing of trying to find mihawk
the promise and death of kuina affected him but it didn't manifest his ambition, all it did was give him the extra push of well it's gotta be me now
Childhooddream² that have to be called ambition.
Think the Same ^^
The biggest part of Zoro isn’t his ambition or power level, it’s his neck.
You might as well ask that to Hiyori and she might give you a different answer
How would Momo feel about zoro being with his little sister. Well I guess it doesn't matter since he can't do anything about it
@@someyeeterontheblock2421 😂😂😂 that was a violation

Well I clicked the "Why Zoro wants to become the strongest swordman" video to the "Nobody understands Zoro" and finish with "The Ultimate Zoro Analysis" LOL, but excellent work as always
Now zoro is my favorite character lol all good though
Now it is "This is why Zoro inspires me" fucking Ohara lmao
Ohara's titles are just like a pokemon
Where as I thought I was going to Tbe Analysis i ended up on this is why Zoro inspires me which is so me for he character always has and was what got me Stuck on Binge One Piece over 800 plus eps and what got back back from.my.break at the end cake island.. i needed to let it build up cause i was afraid i was gonna run out of one piece...now im.almost.caught up so ill.prpbably just rewatch it as there is always more Inspiration to Grasp as just like Checking out Videos and Following Content Creators as such as this!
I did the same 😂😂
I've always felt that Zoro is someone who was always motivated by testing his own human limitations rather than some greater purpose. Like Luffy he isn't tied down to some greater cause, like freeing Wano. While his desire for strength precedes Kuina's death, I think her dying was a stark reminder to young Zoro of his own limits and mortality. Kuina's death was about the shocking fragility of human life. As an adult he fights as if he is daring death to take him, danger excites him and pushing himself to the limit also excites him. He is starkly aware of the limits of human ability and thrives off of defying them.
True.
Beautiful
I disagree. Its unfair to compare it to luffy and saying luffy doesnt have a greater cause when oda literally has explicitly stated that luffy has a true goal that becoming pirate king is the means to the end. I think the idea that this whole time zoro's entire life has been about his mission and absolute determination to take back his stolen country from halfway across the world is fucking epic. imo zoro isnt necessarily motivated by testing his limits, rather he knows it must constantly be done in order to become strong enough to be the absolute strongest and take back wano.
@@noahc6804 You thought you ate🤨, gimme that fuckin plate😡
This ❤️
When you started diving into your insecurities to understand why you loved Zoro, it made me thing why I love Brook so much. So, I took a step back and really thought about my insecurities and I came to realize, I’m always scared of being alone. Wither it be losing friends or loved ones, the lingering fear of “I might be truly alone” always keeps me up at night. Then there’s Brook, a man trapped at sea for 50 years in a boat he couldn’t sail. After losing his crew, Laboon and his captain, he somehow kept the courage to keep going. I know deep down that if I was in Brooks situation I wouldn’t have stayed around for that long. So seeing him still alive today with new friends and people he cares about gives me courage to keep moving forward.
I feel u bro. Behind brook’s childishness and child like optimism and wonder, is a person with a very dark and haunting past yet he carried on with courage and hope. There’s so much to learn from each character! I love brook so much, and i can relate to him on a deeper level because of my fears of being alone; the fear of loneliness. I agree with you wholeheartedly about how I wouldn’t be around that long if I were in Brook’s shoes. But watching Brook’s story unfold, I can just feel his fighting spirit and he’s so admirable but most importantly, just like Brook I too can carry on with courage and hope 🥲
You legend
You should talk to a therapist
@@STI.Ricardito had one in 8th grade and did nothing but lie to her about my feelings. Besides getting a therapist aint easy
@@beesechurger695 Well you a grown ass man don’t lie about it and spit that shit out.
He kept wanting to get better when he trained with Kuina, when she died he carried on her dream and so he kept going even further while fighting for his nakama crew's dreams.
Yeah. It's not that complicated..... feels like this video is just making things overly complex.
that's not why he wants to become the strongest swordsmen its just a reason, he had this dream before he met Kuina.
@@beastwarrior9022 it was a dream of his, every kid has a dream but after kuinas death he turned it into a real ambition of his, striving to get stronger
Watching this makes me realize just how much of a genius oda is. I never realized that the yin and yang dynamic between sanji and zoro was that deep. That’s so crazy.

@@hotelmoscow8665 he uploaded one called why there's no fictional character like zoro
I always show your Zoro analysis to those ignorants who say "Zoro has no character besides being strong and badass". Zoro is destroying himself for his ambition
In a lot of ways everyone on Luffy's crew is doing much the same if only to match Luffy's drive and determination. Now I'm sad thinking about Brook delivering another ship full of crewmates to their final resting places considering his fruit most likely will allow him to outlive everyone again.
I never felt zoro wants to fulfill his dream of becoming strongest swordsman to open wano borders
Its always felt like a challenge to him like to prove someone that he is the strongest
If he wanted to defeat kaido and orochi then why is he so fixated on mihawk now some will argue that he is the strongest and defeating him will make zoro the strongest so he can take down kaido then why not go for kaido straight its not like that zoro never tried to defeat someone who is stronger than him
Also wano will open before zoro becomes the strongest therefore there will be no reason for him to fight to become the strongest
I think its simply becoz he made a promise to quina that he will beat her someday so for him quina was the strongest and as she died he wants to defeat mihawk so that he can finally win against quina
@@subhajitdey6618 , Zoro has to defeat the strongest swordsman on Kaido’s Pirate Crew before he can either solo Mihawk in a fight, or him quickly winning a fight against Mihawk like his fight with Kaku and Daz Bones, but I’ve very certain that Zoro himself doesn’t really give a shit if Wano has a total open border policy or not.
That is is stuipid...... With that logic, luffy is destroying all the strawhats for his ambition.....
@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr there is no strongest swordsman on kaidos crew....
King is a dirty fighter and I like that.......
Luffy's motivation as far as we know when he answered Rayleigh : "I don't wanna be a conquerer, the pirate king is the person who has the most freedom in the sea". So it gave me some Eren vibes from AoT. It seems his main drive is freedom and having a great adventure.
At this point in the story I don't think he still feels that way. I believe he see change needs to happen and he wants to take that weight onto his pwn shoulders it is necessary and he laid one of the first 2 bricks of change when he help Colby and Helmeppo become Marines.
but, being pirate king means enemies of whole world how is that free
@@drdisrespect.8174 that is because he has full reign of the seas. He has seen it all and made allies along the way to get to him would mean having to fight his allies as well.
I am a weekly reader since Baratie Arc (yes I am old). But I have been so used to Dragonball's Son Goku and Vegeta that I NEVER questioned Zoro's reason to his ambition. To me it felt like the most normal thing in the world.

Everything Zoro did already made sense without needing to have another deeper purpose. Wanting to be the best can be the ultimate goal itself. I don't think Zoro is the character who plans long into the future he is more about getting stronger at any given moment. I am nowhere as mentally strong as he is but I think he is pretty relatable to me.
I agree with your point... I don't think it's uncommon either to trade your life for a friend... especially in the dynamic that he's also your captain which there is the whole idea of loyalty that comes in... TBH, I'd think it'd be a disservice to zoro's character to even have ulterior motivations... I think some people just want to be the best and there is so much beauty in that simplicity.
Totally agreed... he just wants to be the strongest because that's his dream
100% agree
Long plan Zoro is not Zoro

Zoros loyalty and belief in Luffy is one of the best things about him.
Ok I’m gonna go against the grain here with the rest of the comments and say I disagree with this theory / analysis of Zoro’s character for the sole reason that you failed to address one crucial aspect of Zoro’s character arc.
So your reasoning here pretty much says: Zoro wants to become the strongest swordsman -> he wants to become strong -> he wants to be strong enough to protect / save something -> he wants to be strong enough to save Wano. As you explained the entire crux of Zoro’s motivation to be the strongest is this hidden knowledge and desire to save Wano. While I agree that Zoro might know more than he lets on, if we frame his dream to have that hidden purpose, what would that mean for Zoro’s motivation for fighting Mihawk AFTER Wano? Yeah sure after Wano Zoro might not be the strongest just yet but he would’ve proven himself to be one of the strongest. The problem is, if the entire true purpose of his goal has already been fulfilled after Wano, the only reason there would be for Zoro to fight Mihawk and gain that title is “he just wants to”. Which cycles back to what we already assume as readers his goal to be.
Now you drew some parallels with Zoro’s dream and Luffy’s that both of their dreams essentially sound like just the means to a secret end. If your theory is true though there would be no parallel at all. Luffy’s secret goal (which is the same as Roger’s) sounds like he needs to be PK first. While with Zoro’s isn’t (if his ultimate goal is to free Wano). Heck he doesn’t even NEED to be the strongest to fulfill that goal.
Now sure, there might still be some hidden part of Zoro’s past that would reveal a hidden motivation for why he wants to be strongest, but unless that can carry his motivations AFTER Wano and towards his fight with Mihawk I wouldn’t be convinced.
I know this is old but yea I agree this theory is extremely shaky. Also how do you make a Zoro video without even bringing up Kuina??
@@jamelmacon1130 He did bring up Kuina, but he didn't spend much time on it. And I also agree the theory is shaky and imo not true for the reasons the guy above explained. But I do also think that Zoro probably does know more about Wano and his connection to it than Oda sensei has shown us so far. I think just like we got Sanji's backstory on WCI, we will get the same level of mind blowing backstory that makes Zoro's character ten times better as well very soon in Wano. My guess is that he did know about the destruction of Wano by Kaido and did expect to end up there at some point, but wants to be the strongest swordsman because he knows his father left Wano for being too weak to defeat Kaido. Because of this he wants to be strong enough to defeat someone like Kaido in order to restore honor to his family and never let anyone he cares about get hurt like the people of Wano have been hurt. He doesn't seem like he cares as much, partly because he doesn't know any of the people of Wano personally, but also because he feels shame that his father abandoned the country and doesn't want anyone to believe he is the same way as him. To prove this we see how seriously he takes Orochi and other Wano scum hurting good citizens like Tama/Yasui/Hiyori by blowing his cover in passionate vengeance. But he never treats them like his own family because if he did treat them like family he would have to face the shame of what his father did. The main part I think will be purely up to GOda to create is why exactly his father left, who he was too weak to defeat on battle besides Kaido obviously, how Zoro learned about it all and what experience Zoro has had with his father that made him become the serious person that he is.
To honor his dead friends wish and now to help Luffy achieve his dream to.
He already wanted to be the strongest
Zoro wanted to become strongest even before Kuina died
He had the dream before both those things tho it's one of the first things said in the video
@e cant trust a guy with that profilpicture. 5 days since being rickrolled
I never felt zoro wants to fulfill his dream of becoming strongest swordsman to open wano borders
Its always felt like a challenge to him like to prove someone that he is the strongest
If he wanted to defeat kaido and orochi then why is he so fixated on mihawk now some will argue that he is the strongest and defeating him will make zoro the strongest so he can take down kaido then why not go for kaido straight its not like that zoro never tried to defeat someone who is stronger than him

I think its simply becoz he made a promise to quina that he will beat her someday so for him quina was the strongest and as she died he wants to defeat mihawk so that he can finally win against quina
I think it’s because he really likes swordsmanship and has dedicated his life to that craft in the same way Sanji has dedicated his life to cooking. Everything else stems from his passion. We respect him because of his unwavering dedication to pursuing the thing he loves. Many of us wish our own path was that clear and we could pursue it as singlemindedly as Roronoa
His principles are on another level and its showed multiple times especially with the fight between usopp and luffy
I like Zoro, because He is Literally Zoro
Luffy already told us his motivation when Rayleigh asked him. Freedom.
He never started getting lost till he took the cursed sword, previous to this he actually knew where he was going, and the issue with sanji/zoro sanji is now ridiculously strong
Luffy wants to be Pirate King because he thinks the pirate king has the most freedom in the world.
He has actually said this before.
i thought that too,but if we go back to the asl flashback,when ace and sabo say their dreams out loud and it is luffy's turn Oda hides what luffy said.That's Luffy's true dream and reason for everything and Oda still hasn't revealed that yet.
no it's still not revealed yet
We don't know his actual dream though. He only wanted to be pirate king after he met shanks, but he has another dream
@@mohamedelanzi6952 I think it's gonna be something like "I want to have a party where people from all the world gathers to have fun", something that goes along Luffy's ideals of freedom and enjoying life, which would also relate to the All Blue theory since breaking the Red Line would make that dream possible. Anyways you're right, we don't know for sure, but I think that his wish for freedom is like a more developed dream he has now that he's grown up, and the other one is like a childish desire that he gave less thinking at that point of his life.
He didn't said "he wants to become pirate king because he wants freedom", he said "the person with the most freedom is pirate king" there's a difference
I’m pretty high right now watching this and I’m fully convinced with this theory
Same 😂😂😂
100% there with you🤣😂🤣
Hahahahahaha
Doesn't Luffy want to be Pirate King because according to him, the Pirate King is the person with the most freedom in the world?
That's what I thought too ... weird
no, actually luffy already tell the "reason" but oda still hide it. it's on luffy ace sabo flashback.
@@moussadotco well easier way to understand it is zoro wanted to become a GREAT/STRONG swordsman even before meeting kuina(not sure for GREATEST swordsman)we know zoro came to challenge the master before promising about being greatest swordsman to kuina..same like liffy he wants to b king but not because to surpass shanks..or else he could hv just dreamed of being just better than shanks thts all
@@deephantom7234 It's true that there is that cut scene where Luffy tells something to ace and sabo and they laugh at him... And I think Ace repeated what Luffy told him to Yamato and Yamato tells Ace " A great man once says the same thing'', referring to Roger if I remember correctly. So maybe that's his real motivation.
I always assumed that it was ''Kaizoku oni Kurewa naru'' but if that's what Luffy said why cutting it.
So yeah maybe we don't actually know.
I thought that too and i think it's right. He also wanted to become a better than shanks
Chapter 1033: I'm about to ruin this entire headcanon
"Promise that one of us will become the strongest swordsman"
as for why he wanted Strength before his promise, well he was a kid on his own, didn't even know how to use a sword at first, and he was simply arrogant, i mean he tried to spar with entire handfulls of swords, kinda not the smartest. And of course Strength is going to be important to a kid like that.
I feel like everyone's dreams have been very clear you know...... it's not super complicated. Even Luffy himself said he wanted to be the pirate king because the pirate king was the most free person out there.

I really can’t see this being his end goal at all. Wouldn’t be suprised that he knows Way more then he’s let on. The fact that he’s heavily connected to Wano as whole doesn’t mean is dream is centralized in Wano aswell.
But it’s the initial catalyst. He wants to get strong for Wano, but in the broader scene, also to prevent other places to have the same fate, if this is really Zoro’s true flashback and trauma, it explains his drive to become strong.
I disagree with this theory / analysis of Zoro’s character for the sole reason that Ohara failed to address one crucial aspect of Zoro’s character arc.

@@rouelandrewpulma9799 exactly. This being Zoro’s Ultimate motivation/end goal makes very little sense for the Grand scheme.
Definitley thinks aware of a lot more then we have been shown, but i strongly doubt that this is his Ultimate motivation. Story was it doesn’t make sense for him to want to be the strongest swordsman when that’s not even needed. If this were to be his real motivation, i feel like it would take the steam out of him fighting Mihawk or anybody else on that level later on.

‘Zoro is like a Japanese samurai version of Hercules’
Oden: Am I a joke to you?
I feel like he might have just wanted to become strong in the beginning to protect people around him, then his dream changed to worlds strongest swordsman( I feel like it might be related to his mother).
Are you reading/watching one piece? Kuina and him had the same dream that's it.
Luffy because he met ace Sabo and shanks. And he liked the idea of being a pirate king. It's like when you are little you dreamt of buying this or that or having this or that
Similarly zoro loved swordplay because of his lineage so..

stop saying nonsense.

I just can't buy the concept that zoro wants to become strong only to free wano despite his strong connnection to wano
What's stopping you?
@@ExcuseMyWeebRudeness I feel the same as him but I don’t know if he has the exact same reasons. Here’s my comment on this video:
Ok I’m gonna go against the grain here with the rest of the comments and say I disagree with this theory / analysis of Zoro’s character for the sole reason that you failed to address one crucial aspect of Zoro’s character arc.
So your reasoning here pretty much says: Zoro wants to become the strongest swordsman -> he wants to become strong -> he wants to be strong enough to protect / save something -> he wants to be strong enough to save Wano. As you explained the entire crux of Zoro’s motivation to be the strongest is this hidden knowledge and desire to save Wano. While I agree that Zoro might know more than he lets on, if we frame his dream to have that hidden purpose, what would that mean for Zoro’s motivation for fighting Mihawk AFTER Wano? Yeah sure after Wano Zoro might not be the strongest just yet but he would’ve proven himself to be one of the strongest. The problem is, if the entire true purpose of his goal has already been fulfilled after Wano, the only reason there would be for Zoro to fight Mihawk and gain that title is “he just wants to”. Which cycles back to what we already assume as readers his goal to be.
Now you drew some parallels with Zoro’s dream and Luffy’s that both of their dreams essentially sound like just the means to a secret end. If your theory is true though there would be no parallel at all. Luffy’s secret goal (which is the same as Roger’s) sounds like he needs to be PK first. While with Zoro’s isn’t (if his ultimate goal is to free Wano). Heck he doesn’t even NEED to be the strongest to fulfill that goal.
Now sure, there might still be some hidden part of Zoro’s past that would reveal a hidden motivation for why he wants to be strongest, but unless that can carry his motivations AFTER Wano and towards his fight with Mihawk I wouldn’t be convinced.
Yeah it’s more like wano was an opportunity to get even stronger
@@rouelandrewpulma9799 great point.
@@rouelandrewpulma9799 I'd say kid Zoro saying that he or Kuina will be the strongest is just kid talk, but when Kuina died he could not let go of this statement and since she cant do it, it has to be him, also to respect her memory.
I dont see his goal being freeing Wano, since yes he doesnt talk about himself really, but i do think at least in his time with Hiyori he would have said something. Also it would mean that Zoros goal gets accomplished without him becoming the strongest swordsman in the world and like you said the whole Mihawk relation would change drastically.
Who else is counting every single day until they have made & released the anime episode of zoro deflecting big mom and Kaido's conjoined attack!!! It will quite literally be one of the most memorable awesome scenes of one piece.
not me, as much as its the best feat in the entire one piece world its just tanking the attack. i want something more from zoro, waiting for his next big fight outside wano
That wont be until at the end 2022 or beginning of 2023.
@@luism.6766 We haven't seen Zoro vs King yet, who knows it'll be as intense as Luffy vs Katakuri

Should probably add a spoiler warning before your post out of courtesy
Common Oda trick, shroud aspects of a character’s story or personality or goals to create mystery and intrigue, which is why Zoro is so cool. Team Zoro. I like Zoro cuz like mans said he’s tough, he’s a badass and sometimes you wanna be like that. Zoro had inspired me to stop being soft and I’m better off for it.
Zoro has to be the one to kill Orochi if this was the case. Also, i think his loyalty and determination to protect his nakamas (because he knew there are way stronger opponents out there) is his number one motivation Plus his promise. Great vid mate
That would mean Zoro's journey is complete at the end of Wano.
Woah... so it really could be that One Piece ends in the next 25 years...
Nux couldn’t make no one understands Zoro so Ohara pulled through
does Nux even do proper anime analysis videos anymore? i unsubbed after half a year of "i made animeyoutubers do this/that" videos.. which is a shame, cause i think his perspective on things is kinda unique
@@schippes24 Yea that’s all he is still doing, absolutely awful videos.
It definitely is a shame because I loved his anime content, can’t stand the “I made a streamer do X for $1000!” Plus some kind of clickbait thumbnail and additions to the title, usually “the most cursed hentai” or some shit.
@@schippes24 he doing cringe collab videos rn which sucks but he do some podcasts now and then
it always amazes me that Oda is this detailed on his story. just incrtedible. also love ya Ohara. you make us proud and happy. keep up the great work!!!
"Santoryu" a.k.a the greatest insult of all time !
Luffy is truly a savage
Yuntoryu
@@nassimzerhouani3813 Oh no ! Luffy just one'd up himself ! Again !
This breakdown is great. Made me think about why I love luffy so much. He rarely overthinks anything and is so care free where as I wish I couldn’t overthink everything u do, it’s as tho we as a random aspire to be like these characters, which is why they’re so well written
Another zoro video, huh? No complain from me. I remember that I found Ohara's channel though his very 1st zoro video where the thumbnail was zoro drinking sake from a bottle. I think the topic was about him being vice captain of the crew. At that time ohara had very few viewers. nice to see his channel this grown up.
I never felt zoro wants to fulfill his dream of becoming strongest swordsman to open wano borders
Its always felt like a challenge to him like to prove someone that he is the strongest
If he wanted to defeat kaido and orochi then why is he so fixated on mihawk now some will argue that he is the strongest and defeating him will make zoro the strongest so he can take down kaido then why not go for kaido straight its not like that zoro never tried to defeat someone who is stronger than him
Also wano will open before zoro becomes the strongest therefore there will be no reason for him to fight to become the strongest
I think its simply becoz he made a promise to quina that he will beat her someday so for him quina was the strongest and as she died he wants to defeat mihawk so that he can finally win against quina
It’s because he wants to keep the promise he made to his friend back when he was a child and also to help luffy become pirate king (I haven’t watched the video yet)
he had the motivation even before that
th-cam.com/video/Ldn_Mbi7DQg/w-d-xo.html
Idk what happens afterwards, but I'm currently at Fish Man Island and instantly I noticed a huge Character Developement for Zoro, like he's not the same as before when he used to go all out from the very first attack instead he tends not to/ minimise his efforts on Unworthy opponent. I think he has adopted somewhat Mihawk's personality!
Zoro made a promise also so he will go to whatever length to achieve that goal just to keep his word as a man. This has been showed many times in the beginning.
Mans skipped those episodes..
But even before that he already wanted to become the strongest swordman
@@BrTox yeah when he said what if zoro was wanted to free wano from the very beginning(he may not know about kaido/orochi/wano or what is happening in wano but for somehow related to his ancestor). my brain : if only that become real... Holy
What I love most about Zoro is his loyalty and relationship to Luffy.
He is always having his back because he respects him so much
Once again a top quality video, I just *love* your videos. Even though we dont agree on our favorite character.
There are already enough characters whose goal is to free/open Wano, so having another one, and a main character at that, with the same goal seems meaningless.
@Gravy Father how about this then. If the entire core of Zoro’s reason to be the strongest swordsman in the world revolves around freeing Wano, what would be left of Zoro’s motivation of beating Mihawk AFTER the Wano arc? This is something extremely crucial to Zoro’s character establishment and setup that Ohara failed to address. What Ohara is essentially saying here is that WSS is just a means to an end, the end being a free Wano. If Wano is already free why else does he need to gain the title if he can already get that end without being WSS? Would he still want that title and beat Mihawk “just because”?. If so, isn’t that EXACTLY what we as readers already assume his goals to be?!?!
Sure Wano might reveal a bit more into Zoro’s past and origins and Zoro might even know more than he lets on, but unless those things move Zoro’s goal past Wano and towards Mihawk then it’s a baseless theory.
What's so great about Zoro how he could very much be the lead of a more typical shonen, but instead has his journey weaved into Luffy's and elevates both characters as a result. It allows his fights and character moments to have more poignantcy since we see him mulling over things in the background in addition to doing his training. He allows his actions to speak louder than his words, which also makes it so that when he *does* have something to say, it carries the weight it needs... in contrast to a certain curly-browed idiot.
Zoro is the man, in other words.
Oh boy. Can't wait for the next video on Zoro, given the latest developments in the manga :D
Man had an existential crisis mid vid
"Zoro is basically the Japanese Hercules" Why is that so accurate. I'm Biased because they're my favorite characters in all of literature. But you can't deny the personality trait overlap.
zoro is easily my favourite character in all of anime. whenever i think of why i like him so much, it's not because he's badass but i think it's because of how much respect and devotion he has towards luffy and everyone else.
I absolutely love this theory, but I see one glaring issue with it: once Kaido and Orochi are defeated and Wano is freed, what would be Zoro's motivation for the rest of the story? If he is striving to become the strongest for the sake of completing this arc's storyline, what will make him want to continue on to the next? He also wouldn't have beaten Mihawk so he wouldn't have achieved his dream, so either he will essentially give up on his dream or he needs another motivation after Wano. But what would his new motivation be?
Only reason he would have to fight mihawk would be to keep his promise to kuina
Lol, bb crew is still there bro and mihawk as well. Zoro will be recognized as the strongest once he beats mihawk. Also, there is his crew and their motives as well, remember zoro said that what is the point of his ambition if he can't even help his captain.
Well, some of the Strawhats will archive their goal sooner than others. I mean Ussop is already braver than before and he will become a brave warrior of the seas before we arrive at raftel.
This is the best video of Zoro I've seen so far and your analisis of the people that like Zoro was spot on 👌
I hope you are right. Though I’ve been enjoying one piece for decades without needing Luffy or Zoro to have a greater purpose, I get really excited thinking that they both do. I subscribe to the theory that Luffy wants a party (keeping it vague here) and now my head cannon is this but I’m trying not to get my hopes up. Still, it would be interesting to see what he wants AFTER freeing Wano… I do think his loyalty is profound… and it’s the quality I chose for why I love him the most.
Luffy wants to become the pirate King cause he loves adventures and being the most free on the seas will give him the freedom to do that to his content🙂
that what people belief, but luffy himself already said the "reason" but oda still hide it. it happens in the flashback of luffy ace sabo
@@deephantom7234 that's litterally what luffy stated to rayleigh in chapter 507 page 7
he wants to be the pirate king because he is the most free person in the world
and everything about luffy in the story was always about freedom and doing what you want and chase your dreams
that's it, there is nothing more profound about luffy
he wants to be free and the pirate king is the freest, that's all
@@Nagluuu Yeah, and being a marine is nothing like that especially the admiral rank since its serving the celestial dragons i think
Except Luffy wants this freedom to do something in particular.
Becoming Pirate King is a mean to a mean to an end.
@@Nagluuu so you're just gonna ignore what Luffy told to Ace and Sabo which is parallelled by what Roger told to Whitebeard and Oden?
my three favorite characters in order are Luffy, Sanji and Zoro. For most of the series I had Zoro second but Sanji in whole cake really changed it for me
@gian zellaci Sanji is a better written character than zoro. that's a fact.
If "because Sanji is a chef" counts as a reason, then Zoro being a swordsman is the reason.
then begs the question why does Zoro want to be a swordsman? Sanji wants to be a chef because he likes it, but he has a sort of passion to it because he starved and it was the only comfort for him growing up, but the sole reason Zoro wants to be a swordsman was never reveled.
zoro became one of my fav characters after his fight against mihawk,and his words that "I will never loose to anyone again"
this thing was awesome and one of the best was when zoro threw kitetsu in air to check his luck againt it's curse
Holy Hell. I went from clicking on a video about Zoro, to feeling like Ohara was speaking to my soul. Crazily enough, a good percentage of people feel the exact same way you described in beginning of video. Most just don't want to admit. Love the video.
what if the direction that zoro goes towards whenever he loses his way is the direction in which an important thing or place exists like laugh tale
So the legendary "no one understands zoro" has appeared.
This kinda makes sense given that we didnt really get an in-depth backstory of Zoro like Sanji in whole cake. 🤔
Dude. Thanks for the honesty. Didn't sound easy, and good for you 👍. Being yourself takes courage.
11:50 your "Did that work?" got me xD I sub instant
The reason I like Zoro is because on how he took all of luffy s pain in thriller bark which gave a lot of respect of mine to him
my thought is that Zoro's dream of becoming the strongest swordsman started as a small ambition/hope for him. But when he encountered someone that had the exact same dream (Kuina), his resolve for that dream hardened. Zoro made a promise to that person that either one of them would complete this dream. But since the person died, Zoro is the only one able to complete this dream, hardening his already hardened resolve to the done diddy max
Isn't Luffys reason to become the PK because Luffy thinks the PK is the "person with the most freedom"... I think he said this to Shakky back in Shabody
And if I remember correctly, the thing Oda is hiding from us (that Luffy and Roger said) is a separate dream that they have, this dream isn't about being PK but maybe related
His motivation is simple he was raised in a swordsman dojo and his best friend/rival died young and vowed that since he was never able to beat her he would then become the best to honor her memory
Your videos have gotten SO good dude. I remember watching a video of yours when still were using an animated fox instead of your face. Keep crushing it ohara !! That intro was siiiiick.
The ironies that make One Piece great.
- Zoro always seem to get lost with physical directions , but knows perfectly well the direction of his goal.
-Sanji wants to see the all blue, but doesn’t realize he is crossing all of the blue through the journey.
-Chopper wants to be a great doctor , but he already is.
- Luffy stated that the Pirate King is the freest man of the seas, but he is the most calm free pirate in the seas.
Many others will realize they’re living their dreams or have changed them out of love for their friends. The true meaning of friendship is sacrifice. This is why they continue to grow stronger , because they fight and lose for each other.
dont....dont make the one piece be "the friends you made and the journey you had"
juat please dont.
@@greggivens7392 its TRUE tho😂
@@greggivens7392 uh author confirmed its not it atleast and also wb believed in op so it should be family instead of friendship then lol
the one piece is the sexiest one piece swimsuit and nami will wear it and become ruler of all except simp proof luffy thus making him king
I mean,i am a sanji fan but i respect zoro he is an awesome character🔥
Interesting how you put Sanji as a more relatable character and Zoro as an ideal out of reality. In my case, my favorite character from One Piece is Sanji but I identify much more with Zoro, both in terms of having a goal in life that I followed very clearly and in his personality traits.
So basically he’s just honorable and admirable. With a lot of funny and kind hearted traits
I love zoro because of how intense his loyalty and drive toward his goals. His vow to leave lose again of fighting mihawk is probably one of my favorite in anime ever, plus zoro getting lost is the best 👌
Ohara, I appreciate you being so open and honest about yourself at the beginning of the video. I've been a subscriber/viewer for years and I absolutely love your content. The presentation is immaculate, and the topics always allow me to consider new ideas and theories about One Piece, increasing my enjoyment of the series every time. Keep up the great work!
yeah but zoro didnt kill orochi, kaido did... your really great in connecting things and making story more deep but I think its just simple... Zoro just wants to become the strongest swordsman and maybe have some kind of strong will because of his wano samurai ancestors. But I would love it if it had such a deeper meaning
As much as I love your videos, and the enthusiasm, Zoro wants to be the greatest swordsman in the world because Zoro loves the art of swordsmanship. The idea that Zoro someone has kept his true reasons hidden from the crew WOULD align with the fact that some people are astonished that he would have a captain because of how much dominating energy he emits, but it does not align with the pledge to Luffy that he made in East Blue. Usain Bolt, Michael Jordan, and countless other greats, didn’t want to be the greatest for any other reason other than that they just loved what they do. I also think every character is a reflection of Oda in someway, and Zoro reflects Odas love for a craft, and his desire to be considered one of the best at it.
... it's not his love of swords. It's his love for kuina. The promise he made to her and the fact that he's carrying her dream with his aswell.
i related to that break down way of yourself too much, thank you for this vid.. sometimes you need to know you’re not alone in that feeling
i really liked this video, it wasnt only bout one piece i learned about u too, ty for this awesome channel
Well, for Luffy I think the motivation is clearly freedom. I think there is nothing more complicated than that
What did he say to Ace and Sabo during his flashback?
Imagine Zoro after defeating mihawk. Mihawk last words : i am not the strongest swordsman.there is a woman....
Zoro:(confused)
From nowhere : zoro's childhood friend appears
if he wants to become the world's strongest swordsman just to liberate Wano from Kaido and Orochi then wouldn't that mean after Wano is done, Zoro already achieved his dream? I think this would make sense if Zoro defeats mihawk and became the WSS before Wano started but that didn't happen.
if i'm missing something please inform me
Yeah that's what I was thinking as well the only reason zoro would have to fight mihawk after wano if this is true is the promise he made to kuina
No because he would still need to beat Mihawk
@@blackbladeszoro2984
What I understood from the video is that zoro’s ambition to become WSS is just a mean to an end which is liberating Wano
So of the End ( Wano ) arrives then the means (WSS) has no meaning to zoro anymore.
But it could that zoro would continue his ambition to do what Ryuma used to do which is protecting Wano from any threat
After luffy becomes Pirate king of course
You pretty much hit the nail on that Sanji/Zoro comparison. That is what makes them so likeable
That self analysis was too relatable
Zoro always gets lost on his own… 道を迷う。
He “loses his way” (literally and figuratively).
Without Luffy and his crew, he can’t achieve his own dream… because he would get lost in trying to achieve it.
Think about where he ends up when left to his own devices.
Probably in bleach and learning bankai
I kinda think you're on to something here. The reason I say that is, when he cut down the zombie Ryuma he said, "We'll act like this fight never happened samurai from the land of Wano." Too me it seems like he knows a lot more about Wano than we previously imagined.
Holy Shit! This makes so much sense and this would be such a Oda thing to do, hidden in plain sight with pure elegance.
5:37 luffy's "insult" for zoro is golden lmao
This video's title is changing more often than I change my clothes.
I don't like Zoro because I see him as a role model of "something that I wish to be" because he is a warrior, with a clear path in life, or because he doesn't shy away from his goal. I like Zoro because of his altruistic, gentle nature... that is something I strive for. Put it this way: He wants to become the strongest swordsman, it's his dream or death for him...but even his dream, his life, he would give up for Luffy, as he almost did countless times. And if he has had this desire all the time, to just free Wano, he would be using Luffy, something that I don't see, never, someone like Zoro doing, someone that is so proud that refused to turn his back on death when Mihawk went to strike him. Someone that is so proud that the only time we see him crying in the series is when he lost, and at the same time because he didn't want to lose again because of his captain too. I don't think that Zoro wants to be the strongest because he wants to free Wano.
Actually, luffy said once, he wants to become pirate king because he sees it as the ultimate freedom.
Zoro doesn't have anything better to do, than becoming the best swordsman. I also think, he loves sword fighting🤷♂️
Did you forget kuina exists?
@@r.a.b2245 yes
Stretch, Zoro having a prior plan for Wano is not necessary, he could've just create this desire to help Wano during this ark. You're trying too hard to make you theory fit.
Great video man
I enjoyed it a lot
Zoro is great!
