Talk:Roronoa Zoro/Abilities and Powers

Battle Handicaps

When the straw hats fought with Kizaru and the others at the Sabaondy it was pointed that Zoro had not healed completely from his battle with Kuma at thriller bark. Should we put this to the Battle handicaps part?Giotis 18:09, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Timeline error.
I was wondering if this paragraph of information should be fixed so it is correct to how the events happened. (This paragraph can be found in the Zoro/Abilites and Powers tab)

"To match his strength, Zoro also has an incredible tolerance of pain, evidenced by numerous situations he has thus far endured: Mr. 1's two buzz saws jamming into his chest during the Alabasta arc, Arlong's saw-like nose stabbing into his chest, Mihawk's Black Sword slashing his chest, CP9's Kaku's many Rankyaku attacks, Oars' kick and Kuma's Ursus Shock. This last is especially impressive as Zoro managed to absorb the tremendous amount of punishment Luffy had taken, besides the damage inflicted on him during fights with Oars and Ryuma only remarking afterward "Nothing happened" when questioned by Sanji"

Just wondering, because I know if I edit it, someone will get upset and undo it unless we talk about it first. JonTheMan 02:30, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

Perception
Shouldn't an article on Zoro's perception in battle be considered?

Movie 5 - sword breakage
At the end of the 5th movie while Zoro and Saga are fighting, the katana that Zoro gave Saga breaks. Do we just assume Zoro got it fixed again or that it wasn't one of his own katana to start with? To my knowledge, after Logue Town the first sword Zoro loses permenantly is via the rusting guy at Ennies Lobby. Baarb 18:47, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Movies aren't canon (except Strong World, but that's another story), so don't worry about it. 18:54, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Zoro and haki
Zoro is actually the first member of the strawhat's that shows the ability of haki. During his fight against mr. 1 in the alabasta arc zoro states that he can sense the rythme of all things and he can tell where his sword is and was able to tell where no stones were gonna fall on him... episode 119 this should be updated to the abilities page on zoro

NOT CONFIRMED. 07:46, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Zoro's first demonstration of busoshku Haki in chapter 687 when he made monet bleed. please update it in the abilities and powers section

Post-Timeskip Zoro actively (and definitely) displays the use of Kenbunshoku Haki when fighting Hordy in the Palace (Episode 536) when he is shown dodging Hordy's Yabusame with ease and also blocking them with his sword hilt, almost exactly like when Luffy dodges Hordy's Yabusame in the plaza. 152.7.50.67 23:08, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

Kenbunshoku Haki confirmed
In Chapter 680, Zoro commented on how Sanji sensed a 'weird aura' (Vergo) and that's why he left. Ssj7 (talk) 11:47, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Not exactly.

Was it really the best idea to bring something up about Sanji on Zoro's talk page? Hm? The answer is no. No it wasn't. 15:09, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Zoro actually says "It's because a weird aura appeared behind us" so it seems pretty clear he can sense it also.

So, Zoro is now a confirmed Kenbunshoku Haki user, No? 41.218.6.145 06:33, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

No. 12:24, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

He doesn't have to say "With Kenbunshoku I sensed some unfamiliar aura that appeared behind us" in order to confirm it, Duh!

How does jackasses like you guys become admins? lol you're just like some corrupt marines/government officials from the world of One Piece! are you really fans of the series? cos' you obviously don't appear so. That's obviously Kenbunshoku no haki, do you have holes for eyes or are you just brain dead? keep abusing your power until some pirates show up and send you flying, like the Straw Hats do :P ps: can we report you guys to higher authorities or something? that's as far as we civilians can go. or will it end up just like the missing kids reports ;P68.68.108.199 14:29, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

Cool, I'm apparently an admin. By the way, this isn't unfair, it's policy. There is far too much haki speculation, and right now our policy is to leave it until it is directly stated. And you can report people to higher authorites, but it we aren't the ones calling people jackasses. 15:20, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

Good policy, I suppose, but not very practical though. I like the saying "If it looks like haki and the person is known to know about haki... it's probably haki" 41.218.6.96 20:21, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

Zoro wasn't cutting steel in the Anime before He learned how?
The Wiki states that the Anime was inconsistent with Zoro being albe to cut steel before he gained this ability but this maybe untrue. It was never stated if the Cannon Balls or Chains where made of Steel (check me on this). Cannon balls are usually made of Lead, (Cast-) Iron, Brass, and Historically other materials whre used such as stone but it was somewhat rare to see steel canon balls(even post-American Civil war). As all of these are much softer Metals that a normal person could cleave threw with a hatchet(or sword) in several, if not one, strike.

Strong, thick, solid metal. Hard to cut. Don't overthink it. 03:49, November 14, 2012 (UTC)
