User blog comment:Raptor of Love/What if Ryuma had Zoro's Shadow/@comment-4800978-20120203153248

Zoro's shadow would be so awesome, Ryuuma's zombie would spontaneously combust into flames, ending the menace that is Ryuuma in exactly the same way as Oda foretold it, so canon doesn't have to weep in the corner as it's forgotten by the fans.

Or everybody dies, either way, we get action scenes. And that's all that matters. Ever.
