When Zoro said “if I die here, then I’m a man who could only make it this far” and “if I can’t protect my captain, I can never become the strongest swordsman” he cemented himself as the first mate and the only guy worthy of being the Pirate King’s right hand man
@Dizastermaster.2 жыл бұрын
This is what people don't understand about that scene. People think that Zoro was giving up his dream for Luffy's. But really, Zoro was testing himself to see if he had what it takes. Because if he couldn't get Luffy to his dream, then he couldn't reach his own. He wasn't giving up his dream, he was actually reaffirming it.

I think what makes Zoro so great compared to other 2nd place characters is that he is confident enough to not feel inferior for not being No 1 in the crew. Because he has his own goals and his own role and ability. He didn't only make a promise to kuina but to luffy as well. Luffy does not only not stand in his way, he's such a great partner and captain that he even enables Zoro to reach higher. Zoros promise to him motivates him. Luffy is the one bringing Zoro to all these conflicts and battlegrounds where he is able to get better. He's even the reason for Zoro throwing away his pride and asking mihawk to train him which gave him incredible growth. Zoro does not only fight for himself, but also for luffy and the strawhat crew. Not only do they not compete with each other but they compliment each other. Luffy helps Zoro to reach his goal and so does Zoro. Zoro is simply a badass, because he follows his goals and supports his friends because he wants to, while not being an insecure lone wolf with inferiority complexes who hides beneath false pride.

What I love about Zoro is what he teaches about leadership. He exemplifies that when your goals don’t conflict with the leader’s goals, there’s no need to try and be the alpha. And when they aren’t doing their job right, you’re the one who keeps them in check or takes over. Also, he shows that sometimes the best way to meet your goals is to be the best second in command possible to someone else great. This is a great life lesson because a lot of competent people try to take charge, get all the credit, or do too much work. The wisest decision is doing whatever helps you meet your goals, and if that means being the leader then do it or if it means doing playing a role then don’t let your ego get in the way.

Their grand ambitions actually motivate one another. It's stated when they first meet and then again Zoro says it at Fishman Island.

Great Insight. Oda breaks the traditional mold by creating a character that has that MC Drive, that "Big Boss Energy" but also makes him a subordinate. The moments he gets where we seems as powerful, as comparable, as capable, as the Main Character, gives Zoro these moments where he completely exceeds our expectations. Rival types often get unfairly compared to the MC at every turn, and because of clashing goals, the MC will always beat them out.

Great analysis. Another point, in the entire crew Zoro has the highest standards for Luffy as a captain and won't accept anything less. Typical subordinates roll with anything. Conversely Luffy says having the greatest swordsman is a requirement for the pirate king, and puts Zoro in situations where he can grow to become that. They really are a perfect duo.
@Howcaneyelose2 жыл бұрын
100% agreed since early on Zoro has broken the stoic bad ass mold in their first fight together Oda has Zoro take out Morgans (the boss villain) instead of Luffy & when Luffy thanks him he replies “just doing my job, Captain” for such a cool bad ass character to be instantly so humble & loyal it’s just very refreshing
@yui48752 жыл бұрын
This is probably one of my favourite videos that I've seen from you Morj. I love Zoro so much, and you explain part of what makes him such a stand out. I think a similar dynamic is used in Bakuman, where both of the main characters are working together for their own goals and supporting each other. You could almost say something similar about Haikyu as well. In all of these, I absolutely love the #1 and #2 characters almost as equals, and I see Zoro in a similar light. While Luffy clearly takes the #1 spot in One Piece, Zoro is also my #1. I see them as 2 sides of a coin. It's probably similar to how Roger and Rayleigh were, but this is unproven.

This is a good point. Not only is there a non-compete clause, but their relationship goes further where they both need the other to succeed in order to acheive their own goal. Luffy obviously needs strong subordinates to help him achieve his goal and having the greatest swordsman fills that requirement. Zoro, on the other hand, needs someone who will challenge him and put him in dangerous situations so that he can grow. Zoro does not have a great sense of direction and his purpose is strength (and also to support his friend, Luffy), whereas Luffy has a purpose/goal that helps guide Zoro to challenges he would never face on his own. Luffy and Zoro both need the other one to be successfully making progress in their dream in order to make progress in their own. I think that interdependence of dreams is also what makes Zoro a great #2.

Not quite, what you're describing is the lancer style or character. A second in command who is waiting in the wings to be the leader, like a Raphael from the ninja turtles. Zoro's goals are his own, so there's no need to take command with the sole exception of Luffy not being around, or if Luffy is incapacitated. One of the best examples of him being the second in command is when he insists that usopp needs to apologize for leaving and take accountability for the falling out. He's not in charge, he's not acting as a rival, he's acting as the moral compass for his captain. Zoro is the most down to ride character in fiction, because he's there to support selflessly without being weak or pitiable.

Many other popular manga would have him be the rival but having him be the homie that can contend with MC but let's him rock and does is his own thing is a nice rarer take (again in more popular series) and helps he himself can shine ALONGSIDE Loof, rather than against

Interesting though that sanji name means third son… and we know it was kind of a last minute change as his name was supposed to be Naruto until that show came out. But zoro and sanji actually have a dynamic that is more like that of other manga protagonist and rival since neither of them is after luffy’s position they just have a rivalry between them for who is more capable under him … But it’s kind of fitting that he bounces around from seeming close to zoros skill at some times and at other he appears to clearly be the 3rd strongest on the team and has the title of third in his name(I know his back story just saying it was perhaps a clever choice to also define his role as a second wing but hinting at his strength and position on the crew

One of the reasons why I think Zoro's a great right hand is the fact that he pushed Luffy to be as great as he is today., not to be stronger but to become a better captain. Luffy acts like a real captain nowadays but he used to be too carefree before the timeskip, to the point of endangering the crew's stability by lacking authority, as we see in Water 7. It was in this arc that Zoro solidified his vice-captain status to me by refusing to accept Usopp back in the crew after what he did, even going to the point of leaving the crew himself if Usopp were to simply be forgiven without earning it. Zoro's goal pushes Luffy's dream forward since Zoro cannot be the greatest swordsman if his captain isn't the greatest as well
@szczesliwekomunikacjeladow3832 жыл бұрын
I think the best example of this was Enies Lobby. Zoro was actually hard carrying as if he had a day where he was going 180% of his usual capabilities. Every few episodes someone would question how the hell he isn't the captain. And the fact that Zoro out of all the Strawhats holds Luffy to the highest standard. He is destined to become the World's Greatest Swordsman so it only fits that his captain could only be the future Pirate King. And as such, he cuts down anyone who stands in Luffy's way.

I think naruto and sasuke are similar to zoro and luffy when it comes to having different goals, where one's success doesn't jeopardize the other. Sasuke actually was way better in going after his goals and accomplishing them. This was one of the reasons that made me see him as a better character than Naruto.

The way Oda writes Zoro and Luffy is amazing. Its like having a strong subordinate like Zoro pushes Luffy even more. The way the arcs are structured usually Zoro does some badass thing and Luffy has to surpass him. This video also gives some insight into the Sanji/Zoro debate, Zoro is such a solid No2 and has rivalry with Sanji who is somewhat destined to be No3. Monster Trio is truly remarkable.
@mamboking01342 жыл бұрын
A point that might miss here is that both Zoro and Rayleigh never seemed to...vibe...well with their captains. They expressed loyalty, sure, but they never seemed to be a great fit for the crews they were in. It's almost like the captain and vice captain were completely individual identities that were unique from each other except for their battle prowess and will to power. This might have been simple style, but I remember a scene in the anime where Rayleigh and Oda were standing with their backs to one another. This seemed to put it into perspective for me that whatever was holding these two together was not, necessarily, their personal relationship. That's just a theory... I think the two share a brothers-in-arms comraderie, but they are very different people who should, by all rights, have their own crews, but for some reason they are together. Let's also not forget about the Sun-Moon dynamic. Zoro is supposedly descended from Wano (Moon Kingdom???). Luffy represents the sun. Symbolically, these are two different icons that nonetheless share the heavens with each other- each never occupying the others space while locked in a relationship with one another.

One of the greatest feats Luffy has is having someone like Zoro under his command, look at even Shanks, Mihawks is no subordinate of him and they are rivals, Luffy was lucky that he didn't happen to use a sword (which could've easily happen considering Roger and Shanks are his inspiration figures) otherwise Zoro would be his rival and that's why he's another Supernova (and one of the strongest), that's what Oda is trying to say, Zoro is by himself one of the greatest pirates of his generation.
