@Captain:
You know it's okay to criticize the series and point out where it stumbles with issues like sexism, right? You guys? You can like it and still accept its flaws.
Agreed.But it also means everyone's gonna have a different opinion.your opinion or criticsm can also be questioned.
The argument that Zoro wasn't in real danger against Monet but was every other time is such bullshit.
Not really.
Whiskey Peak, Ennies Lobby, Fishman Island. These are enemies so weak they don't even get to cross swords with him. He cuts them down in numbers that go to half a dozen or more per panel. Not per page, per panel he cuts groups of them down without taking a scratch. He proves at Whiskey Peak that he can take them down without causing real damage when he spares the nun and the child.
Whiskey Peak was placed at the beginning of grand line,and so yeah the enemies were weak.But it was 100 against one,so zoro was constantly on his guard if you watch carefully.Yet,he didn' t really go all out against anyone if he didn't need to.the nun and the child were spared as you brought up.but miss monday was a named member of BW,and was quite strong.so he had to injure her.but even then,he didn't cause that much damage to her,and she even helped vivi escape later.
In enies lobby,no one was vastly weaker than zoro except fodder,whoch don't really count.
In fishmen island,no one was barely even a challenge,and in the hyozou fighy,zoro gave him a chance to surrender and even after he defeated him,hyozou was alive and well.
Nah nah nah but that was real actual danger and Monet wasn't. Monet, with her wings and bird talons and logia type devil fruit, who actually crossed her blades with Zoro's and outlived the panel it happened in, who is fighting in a building that's rapidly filling with deadly gas, while he has friends and allies in the immediate area who can't properly defend themselves against her, is less threatening to him than all of those mooks.
You seem to be forgetting that all the SH's have greatly improved over the course of the series,especially after the time-skip.what could have easily killed them before won't even faze them now.
Tashigi, with noteworthy and named sword, and similar ability to at least clash with him for a moment, was less threatening. Miss Monday, who literally did more actual damage to him than every other bounty hunter on the island working together, still was not worth using the actual sharp part of the sword.
He doesn't want to fight Tashigi becoz she reminds zoro of kunia,which he doesn' t like.it weirds him out.
Miss monday challenged zoro to a contest of pure strength,and zoro is one to never shy away from a challenge.so he beat her at her own game.plus,he crushed her head sp i don' t know what you want.even the person he defeated with his swords,like igaram were not mortally wounded,and were fine afterwards.
Zoro's attitude towards women is bad. Sanji's attitude towards women is bad. Oda's portrayal of both of these as positive character traits is bad. Critical analysis and ongoing discussion of issues like these in pop culture is good. Recognising One Piece's flaws and still enjoying it is okay.
Cool.It 's also okay to disagree with some points of criticism and debate them.Sanji's actions and overall portrayal of women aside,i just don't accept that zoro has sexist(?) tendencies.
But you know.it's cool to debate and disagree with others regarding something you love.that's what we are here for.so i say it' s cool to differ and disagree.
