Isnt Zoro's Birthday tomarrow?
Zoro's Birthday
-
-
Why yes, it is. And I be believe the next nearest birthday is Chopper's, on Christamas Eve.
-
It is.
Happy (early) Birthday, Zoro. :)
So tomorrow will be an excellent day to visit the websites of Zoro-obsessed doujinshi artists. Why? Because many of them upload special pictures, cards, etc for this day, so it's a great opportunity to see their most recent art, even if you aren't into the whole "celebrating a birthday of an imaginary character" thing …
Actually, this is true for the birthdays of any of the Mugiwara -- but the trick is to find the websites that are dedicated specifically to those characters. It won't help to go to a Luffy website on Ener's birthday, for example ... ;)

Exactly how did you learn Zoro's birthday…?

Exactly how did you learn Zoro's birthday…?
In the SBS of the "One Piece" manga volumes.

Some of the birthdays were created by Oda himself, others – like Zoro's -- were suggested by fans, and then approved by Oda. He prefers birthdays that have an amusing pun in them, For instance, in Japanese, a "zorome" is a repeating number (like "11-11") so that's why that birthday seemed particularly appropriate for Zoro! ;)
... and since that makes Zoro a Scorpio in Occidental horoscopes, it also works well (Scorpios are said to be obsessed with perfection and with death.)
-
Happy Birthday Aubrey. If you were real I'd send you a letter bomb :)
-
Happy birthday, Zoro.
I wonder how old the crew members are now. When the story started, Zoro was 19. He's probably 21 or 22 now in the current story?
-
Aubrey.
Aubrey?
Do tell.
-
inside joke between me and pirateneko where Zoro's middle name is Aubrey (just never mentioned because if you were called Aubrey you wouldn't want anyone to know.)

It's also Remembrance Day, the 11th really is the perfect birthdate for him!

Happy Birthday Zoro **
I've been watching Zoro centred eps all day today +P
I really hope that Oda…! Gives back his katana…
-
Happy birthday Zoro! glomps him
-
Happy birthday Zoro-kun :D
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZORO lol
-
Happy Birthday Zoro and many more.

Yes, that's perfect also! It's profound and it's related to being a warrior.
On the sillier side of things –
I think that the person who recommended 11-11 to Oda was a closet Zoro/San fan. Why? Because Oda had already established Sanji's birthday as 03-02 by then.
If you type 03-02 and 11-11 into any online horoscope compatibility engine, you get amusing comments like the following:
"High emotions and elaborate displays from one of the most sensuous combinations of all..."
-
Happy birthday, Zoro.

Nope, they haven't aged at all since they were when the story started 7 years ago. Luffy is still 17, Zoro is still 19, Nami is still 18, Usopp is still 17, Sanji is still 19, Chopper is still 15, & Robin is still 28.
Or at least I'm pretty sure thats what Oda said.
-
I thought Nami was 17 at the start….
-
No, shes 18 according to Oda.
-
Happy birthday Mr. Bushido.
-
Happy Birthday Zoro!
-
Sweet it's Zoro's birthday… gonna make an Onigiri Cake with icing to celebrate!!!

Yeah. If you go through and count the days, it's actually been about a month since they made it to the Grand Line. I haven't made up a timeline for when they were in East Blue, but I can't imagine it would be more than another month, tops.
-
Yay happy B-day Zoro!
-
He's completely fictional.
-
@Private:
He's completely fictional.
Stop raining on Zoro's parade :P Happy birthday!
-
Happy birthday Zoro, you non-existant yet still badass person, you!

Oh, how suspicious. And convenient for the ZoSan fans. D: Those compatibility engines sound fun.
-
Those compatibility engines sound fun.
They are – but I can't take credit for this idea. I found it on a fansite. The fan ran every Mugiwara birthday through a compatability engine to see who was most compatible with whom according to astrology. If I'm remembering correctly, this was the top pairing in terms of compatibility. Ironic, huh?
If you feel like recreating the experiment, just go to Google and type in something like "daily horoscope compatability" or "love sign compatability" or "horoscope compatability" You'll get tons of sites. Unfortunately, many have spammy or r-rated elements, and some will even charge you for the service.
I saw some neat birthday art out there, but can't provide links on this thread (the birthday art was tame, but the sites themselves weren't). Seems like some of the artists -- like Zipangu -- have been celebrating all month long! Other artists didn't have any new work to show, but made the backgrounds of their webpages green or did other fun things like that.
Chopper's birthday is up next! But I suspect I'll be too busy on that day to putter around doujinshi websites ...

yay~zoro'sbirfday wasmy dads :3

I have progress shots of it in my thread in the Creativity Forum
Wouldn't hurt to post the finished version in here too though XDDraw him with a beer gut, neko!
Hahahaaha!!! Omg… don't give me more ideas please XDDD Ah screw it, I'll see if I come up with something funny as well since this other one is a bit more serious XD
-
No sense in creating another thread, though I was about to….
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZORO!!! <3<3<3
Maybe I'll finish something for my favorite marimo's birthday… I am baking a cake after I get home from work...Its amusing to think that if he were really aging, he'd be 30 this year. <3 I'd SO hit that.
-
WE're throwing a party for him! Complete with costumes! (There will be footage. I'm supposed to act surprised when it happens. And pissed.)
I just posted my little fanart over in my Fanart Thread!
Happy Birthday, Zoro!!
-
Heso!
Happy Birthday Zoro!
-
Happy Birthday Marimo-man. Let's hope he won't lose his way to the party.:ninja:
-
Happy Birthday Zoro! Good thing that you got a new sword
-
Zoro's Birthday. Let's give him the present of encouragement.
R is not an L. It's an R.

Hear hear!
Otherwise he would be Lolonoa Zolo. And that's just too hard to pronounce.
-
Lolonoa Zolo…that could be interesting...sounds like the swordsman of the Rolling Pirates.
-
Happy birthday, Zoro!
Your present? A new sword and a knockout by Odz! (Am I the only one who finds that ironic? XD)
-
Happy belated birthday to Zoro.
-
actually, impel down, L and R are very similar sounds, and in Japanese there is no L, only R that sort of sounds like an L.
but anyways
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZORO!!!! I LUBU!!! glomps I promise today I will be nice to you when working on my fic ^_^ you silly marimo ossan. <3
edit and his name does come from the french pirate Lolonois! (or however it's spelled)
Zoro: shut up about my name already! gosh, can't I just get a normal Happy birthday from you?!
Me: GLOMP
Zoro: twitch -

-

-
My favorite marimo. Happy Birthday, Zoro!!
