Talk:Roronoa Zoro

Should we gives Zoro's swords their own articles? Not the unnamed ones just the famous ones? Cody2526 04:45, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

We already did.... I check and make sure.

Zoro's sense of direction (or lack of it)
In earlier episodes, it was Luffy who had this weakness. Somehow it became Zoro's. Anyone else noticed?

For example in ep. 12 (Kuro arc), Luffy ran towards the other side of the island where Kuro's men have landed. He kept running around the island lost, not knowing how to go north. Zoro, stuck in grease thanks to Nami, was able to leave several minutes later but somehow he and Luffy arrived at the same time to save Ussop and Nami.

Another is ep. 48 at Loguetown. Luffy got lost in town looking for the scaffold where Gol D. Roger was executed. On the way he met Smoker and asked for directions. Smoker told him that it's the way the smoke is blowing, and so Luffy went. However, Luffy got lost again and ended up at Bar Gold Roger.

I'm trying to find exactly where Zoro started to be depicted as bad at directions. But I'm quite certain it's after they got to the Grand Line.

This is just an observation. Maybe Oda Sensei realized (later) that Zoro should have some sort of weakness. Luffy already has several weaknesses - the sea, being a 能力者, and sharp and pointed objects. So he "gave" Zoro this one and took it from Luffy. –


 * Please sign your posts with ~ and remember this isn't a forum.  That said, Zoro still got lost between leaving the slope and arriving.  They both have bad direction senses but Zoro's is worst.  One-Winged Hawk 19:03, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I'll sign from now on. Thanks for the comment. But no, Zoro didn't get lost. If you have a collection of the anime (I do) please check ep. 12. Zoro just got away from the grease and the next time he was shown was with Luffy beating up Kuro's guys. In the manga, it's Chapter 29 "The slope" page 11 where Zoro escaped the grease and page 21 where he appeared at the north slope - without getting lost. Yohohoho! 06:19, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay then ingore me I'm wrong. I should rewatch the Kuro arc... I seem to be slipping up on things.  :-/  One-Winged Hawk 14:08, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

just wondering, can anyone recall where the quote (see the article on zoro) made by sanji on zoro's absurd direction sense came from?red_devils_27 09:19, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Uh, wow. Wasn't Zoro first introduced as wandering from island to island hunting pirates because he was completely and utterly lost? This has always been a major element of his character.

I doubt Oda would off a major character now, but you never know.Blue Leg 04:35, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
