wow I thought most OP fans were Zoro fans! But yeah Zoro 4ever! Hopefully we can unite and start a group!
Zoro's ok… I mean I like him ok but he does bore me alot... he does have his really amusing moments.
I like the fact he's really the anchor to the crew but he's average on my chart.
I really do perfer Zolo more than Zoro. Zoro gets too confusing considering Zorro is way more famous here in the U.S. And anybody who bitches about Zolo honestly makes way too big a deal out of it. It's 1, little letter for the love of fuck. Oda probably doesn't care about the differnce anyway considering he's Japanese.

The thign with ZOLO that annoys me is it sounds like a candy and then you have little dublings eating your face cus they think their right..
To be honest I was more distracted by the fanart pic in your sig :P (I don't suppose you know what site it's from?)
I kind of agree with funkyfunkyusopp though. He's cool and all, but I think he lacks some of the interesting personality features that other characters have. That's not to say I dislike him (He has some priceless moments), but I find other characters more interesting.
I find his personality one of the flatter ones too. When he's being noble and pursuing his dream (going after Mihawk for example), he's magnificent, but too often he's just cliche (today's dub episode, for example. Yes, very cute. 23,000 one-arm, full-body pushups. You're very strong. Now stop boring me!)
^Garghh! Stop watching the dub! You're giving it ratings=helping it stay on the air=putting more money in 4kids pockets!

Trust me,he cares. Speaking as a mangaka myself, any character you create, you put your blood sweat and tears into,whether it's a good one or not, so you have a special connection with them all. You get attached to them like you would your real friends, so you care about what happens to them. I mean Oda-sensei doesn;t even wanna kill of the minor characters and villains so it's obvious he cares alot!
Wow..ararara…this is turning into a Zoro bashing fest! O_O!
T_T runs away to another forum where Zoro is the most popular character
ahhh...now I can relax.. :sleep:

Yeah I did notice that.. xD it's contructive criting XD
^Garghh! Stop watching the dub! You're giving it ratings=helping it stay on the air=putting more money in 4kids pockets!
No, it doesn't work that way. There are a select few people that have a thing called a Nielsen's rating box on their TV that is used to collect ratings. You have to agree to be part of this study. If you aren't one of those people, your viewings of the dub do nothing to ratings.
But yeah, Zoro, he's cool. They need to have at least one guy that's serious and hardcore. He knows how to keep his cool. I don't know how he puts up with all the goofballs on the ship.
How can Zoro be unlikable. I mean when I first saw him I thought..rolls eyes oh..the generic antihero,badass type,but then when the girl came and he ate her riceballs even though helmepo hd crushed them into the dirt, I knew his personlity was deeper than that.^_^
And swordsman have been done to death in anime/manga,but he manages to have a totally original style. So yeah Zoro is kewl.
Plus I like the legend he's creating as the series goes on:
The huge slash from Mihawk that remains on his body the entire series.
The cursed sword he;s trying to tame and master.
Learning how to cut through solid steel.
Surviving a duel with Mihawk.

That doesn't mean he gets a heart attack if a single, puny, little letter in a name of a character is changed to something that has no differnce in his native written languadge. Sheesh.
I'm in agreeance with most people here. I'm not very impressed with Zoro as a character. He's terribly cliche' and the token swordsman, not to mention i'm not very fond of many swordsmen save a few. When it comes to fighting styles i'm more for the gunmen or the hackers/nerds.
Zoro's cool. He's another one of the characters I thought wouldn't join the crew, but (unlike Usopp) that didn't last very long. He came off as icey/creepy to me at first, but that changed. I like Zoro, he's a cool dude. A man's man, I suppose.
Plus, if he wasn't so serious all the time, it wouldn't be any fun to pick on the marimo head. ^^
And anybody who bitches about Zolo honestly makes way too big a deal out of it.
You're 'bitching' about 'bitching.' How ironic. Who cares, really~ ^^;
Uhh, Rama, you're making a pretty big stink about one letter yourself, especially since no one in this thread even brought it up. :glare:
As for Zoro, I really like him. I think his deeper stuff tends to get more overlooked because he doesn't lay it on the table as much as the other characters. It's there, you just have to pay attention a little more. I don't find him flat or cliched at all, in fact his habit in the early episodes of bursting out into unabashed laughter at some of Luffy's antics was really endearing to me. And it really does seem that after his duel with Mihawk he stopped doing it that much, like he sort of lost some of his sense of humor, or… I'm not sure. Maybe just went back into hardcore training mode because he realized how far he still had to go to reach his goal.

Yeah, I agree. I think that, at first he didn't take Luffy seriously as a captain, but when he fought Mihawk somthing clicked. If Luffy was going to be King of the Pirates, then Luffy would probably have the world's greatest in his crew. I think it gave him a goal, actually. That if he followed the same path alongside Luffy, he would eventually become stronger than everybody else.
I kind of miss seeing Zoro laugh myself. I think after the whole ordeal that has been happening in the recent chapters finally gets resolved, it would be a nice time to see Zoro lighten up, even if it's just for a little bit. =)
The thign with ZOLO that annoys me is it sounds like a candy and then you have little dublings eating your face cus they think their right..
I take that as a good thing, candy is delicious. Don't you want to eat a Zolo YummyBar today? It sounds like some sort of chocolate covered spinnach. It's good for you, I swear!
Marimo is an ok guy. I play badmittion with him on Saturdays.
Marmino? Or did you mean Marimo?

Thanks, I shall correct my post. XD
Zoro is my favourite anime character. There. Of all anime characters I've seen, he's my number one. Close second is Hiruma Youichi, but that's another story.
In my eyes, he's not an embodiment of a stereotype. Yes he is a swordsman, yes he is an all manly man, but his personality runs deeper than just that of the buff, weight-training musclehead. He is serious and level-headed, but he also knows how to lighten up. He cares deeply about his nakama, but he has no objection on facing them when he thinks they're on the wrong. He is confident, but he also has his worries. He is determined, very determined, and he knows how to reach his goal. He hates being used, but he doesn't mind helping.
His do-or-die attitude is also charming in its own right. ^^
Try writing him, then you'll know how hard it is to keep him in character. That's why fanfics featuring Zoro are often generic or downright unreadable. Zoro speaks when necessary, but he is also a goof. Remember when he swings like Tarzan on the Upperyard? Remember when he stole the winter jacket on Drum Island? Remember his misguided confidence in his sense of direction?
He makes me laugh, but I also miss seeing him laugh. I really do.
sigh I wish people won't dismiss Zoro just because some of his traits fit some stereotype. I wish the same for all characters, actually.
Oh, and the L/R thing? I have my two cents, but it's better that I don't share them here.
Uhh, Rama, you're making a pretty big stink about one letter yourself, especially since no one in this thread even brought it up. :glare:
Not true. I'm "making a pretty big stink" about other people doing so about 1, little letter. That's very differnt. And I suppose you dodn't see those hugeass words in the topic starter's sig. :glare:
Zoro is my favourite character in One Piece, with Luffy close behind. I love fights with him in it even if he does get beaten up badly. . It shows you how hardcore he is :D. Plus with Sanji they can become really hilarious.
I guess if I start rambling on my Zoro love I'd need all of Usopp's men to stop me XD
Anyways, I love the guy, really love, full stop :D Ever since I saw him in the first episode… plus, I watch the italian dub, and his VA is just amazing... ___ has this sexy voice that makes me go all ____ all the time :D
Even Zolo's VA is pretty good. He's just so awsome that he makes anybody who voices him atleast pretty good.
A Zoro Fanclub! W00t! points to user name ^^

Ok… is that the Greek version of Zoro's name???

Failing to see the difference. You're still getting your knickers in a twist over one letter, a habit that irritates me about both sides of that argument and this thread isn't the place to be airing that grievance. Try the Viz thread in the manga section, we had a nice long argument about it in there months and months ago, back when it was a relevant topic of conversation, although I seriously doubt anyone will be glad you brought it up again.
And I suppose you dodn't see those hugeass words in the topic starter's sig. :glare:
I did when they first joined. I stopped noticing it after a while. Try doing the same.
Back on-topic…
Blackjack, really? Geez, that's a new one on me. ... Does anyone know if the French translation calls him L'Ollonais, or is it still Roronoa?
I finally googled 'marimo'. XD Hoo boy, that gave me a laugh!
zoro would be my favorite character. he makes me laugh. and hes deeper than the stareotypical macho man in the anime. although i have noticed that he doesnt laugh anymore and thats realy sad. i like zoro because his thoughts are not right out there you have to pay attention to see who he is. and even though he is a swordsman his fighting style is unique.
Ararara…Funny stuff forbidden toast! :laugh: :laugh:
Is he any good at badmitten?
It's sort of a close balancing act between Zoro's macho badassness and his silly side,plus Zoro is serious,but he's not the usual mean-antisocial tough guy. He cares about his friends and it's obvious, even though he gets annoyed by their craziness or recklessness sometimes. So I can see how a Zoro fanfic would be hard to write. And comeone you have to be kewl to make green hair look sexy and kewl like he does! =)
@Ao:

He's pretty average, but not that great. He says he doesn't care for the game because you only use one birdie, so I don't think he tries. (or maybe he is just going slow to try and help me keep up) Last saturday he tried to use three rackets, though! I wish I got a picture of that with my camera!
Zoro fanlads/fanlasss make a big deal about t' letter. If they here "Zolo", they will KILL whoever said it. I couldn't care less about t' letter, although I do perfer L a little more than R. What irks me be that they make such a big deal about it. T' only differnce between you and me, Bevin, be that I defend those who use Zolo. For I be among them.

You're like what moose used to be. I don't care what you think, But you brought this argument around for nothing. Nobody here cares what anyone alls him anymore. Did you see even mention the zoro/zolo thing for at leat a couple of months?
Ahoy! 'pose I should've done this though PM. Sorry. I pray we drop it here.
^^; Yeah, lets just drop it~ It isn't worth it, really… Anyways, way to gab like a p'rate, matey. 2 shillings
I remember in the DBF when Zoro told Sanji that his hat looked good on him. xD That was funny~
I agree as well, not worth it at all…..
Zoro is my favorite character in OP. Period. If you wanna know why, read this thread:

Plus, this is a response to the "there's no threads about Zoro" statement.

It's that obvious, eh?
Yay! Coz I feel the same way about him too ^_^
Well, the sig says it all I guess :D

Btw, great sig. =) Where'd you get it?
I agree with people that Zoro is sometimes quite boring, when other crew is doing something, he usually just sleeps but not always, sometimes he also participates in fun stuff and it's nice to see him laugh. [he could do that more~]
And I've never seen Zoro as a real 'manly man', I just find it extremely hilarious that he's always trying to be so cool and macho but that just makes him look funny because he's trying too much. x) And when you add things like his not-so-good sense of direction and short temper to soup, you'll get something very else than just a serious boring swordsman.
…But I wouldn't complain if he would do more intresting things like Usopp, who is always doing something new and intresting stuff. Though, characters are never completely perfect. x)
Thanks :)
I had found that a long while ago in some Japanese fanart site o___O I would have passed you the URL if I still had it ;___;

Nevermind. I'll find it eventually.
Oh wow, how could I missed this? I'm a Zoro fan and there is no way you're going to start a syndicate/society of Zoro lovers without me! >=(
Oh and after watching 4kids One Piece, I think Zolo should elope with Kureha!
One day I shall find my sig of doom, and no one will ignore that pairing!
