[@janjing]

One thing often overlooked about Zoro is how he often sleeps. At Whiskey Peak, Zoro is uncharacteristically awake. He doesn't trust the environment, the surroundings. He can sleep the way that he does normally because he trusts his crew.

[@Croftyhere]

He sleeps during the day and is awake during the night as he takes the night shift when guarding the ship

[@mauricehopes9105]

Rightfully so. He's got luffy, sanji, brook, franky, robin, and jimbie to hold things down while he sleeps. Luffy while silly will always protect the crew. And while they bicker like brothers zoro trust sanji to look after everyone. The train in water 7, kuma in thriller bark, and their interactions in wano before the king/queen fight show how much he trust sanji.

How funny would it be if Zoro and Buggy were the one to find the One Piece? One due to his ability to fail upwards into success and another due to sheer bad sense of directions.

[@Skittles948]

My favorite part about Zoro is the fact that even though he was willing to die rather than losing if it meant not being able to achieve his dreams. That's not the same as risking your life, that's literally choosing death. EVEN THOUGH he is like that, he still puts Luffy's dream above his own. In the Mihawk fight he showed he'd rather die than not achieve his dream, and in Thriller Bark he showed he'd rather save Luffy's dream than save his own. So it goes Life < Dream < Luffy's Dream and that is awesome

[@zackm681]

Love your Zoro talk! Just want to add a bit here since he's one of my favs in the series. I think a small detail a lot of people overlook a little in Zoro's development is when he himself finally started to expand what his ideas of what the "greatest swordsmen" encompasses when fighting Mr 1. He's always been a nice guy who is ready to help his friends and innocent people, but in that fight he really starts to think about his crew and the people he needs to protect which was the catalyst to finding the power to cut steel, to get even stronger. So while it never changes who Zoro is at the end of the day, it combined his drive to be the best swordsmen with his core character/morals which sets up stuff like "nothing happened". At the end of their fight we even get a bit where Zoro say's some things to the effect of somethings are too precious to cut in response to Mr. 1, showing that he thinks being the "greatest swordsmen" isn't just about cutting things and fighting for the sake of fighting anymore.

[@darknesswave100]

Yeah that part where he swings at the palm tree leaves and doesnt cut them gave me chills. Then he says a true swordsman chooses what to cut. Now I'm going to cut through steel

This video was everything I needed today. Zoro is such a well developed, complex and lovable character and you said it best in this video. I just love listening to you talking about how much you love the series and the characters. Honestly, it is such a great time to be a fan of One Piece. Volume 100 released today and had a big celebration with big projects, the One Piece live action Netflix series adaptation just revealed their logo. Chapter 1024 dropped today and had some important Zoro news. There is just so much to love about this series. Tbh, I did not expect the Perona cosplay but I loved it! Seeing your ad for this site that helps you write awakened in me the desire to write. When I was a teenager, I used to read a lot of books and I really wanted to write my own so I did write some fanfiction (I was 14 lol). But then I got older and I started to read less and less books, then I got into anime and manga, then I started to watch less and less anime and now I really do not find so many things interesting, it is very hard for a piece of media to catch and mantain my interest. I always wanted to write fantasy books, but seeing the level of Oda s storytelling kind of intimidated me because I realised that I could never reach that genius level. But in the future I am sure that I will write and publish fantasy books because, as we learn from One Piece, we need to follow our dreams and work hard to achieve them. Seeing you ad for Camfire Blaze inspired me to want to get back into writing, cause I have a lot of ideas. Your One Piece videos really put a smile on my face. Thank you for everything!

[@trafalgarlaw363]

There is a lot about Zoro that I love, but there's one thing in particular that is often displayed pre-timeskip and doesn't get mentioned often enough for some reason. While being somewhat a side character, Zoro is someone who builds his legend alongside Luffy and whose renown up until Marineford has probably outgrown even his captain's. Every big player in East Blue knew who he was and was cautios of him - Buggy, Don Krieg and Arlong, and even the Baroque Works were trying to hire him. Often when he gets on the stage people get shocked that a beast like that is not in charge of the whole crew and can actually obey someone like Luffy, like we saw in Water 7 and Sabaody. And when you're a pirate with a moniker of "Pirate Hunter" and such a reputation, said pirates will definitely watch out for you. In terms of fame he's probably the most outstanding Straw Hat at least at this point of the story, and yet he's the most loyal of them. There's also parallels between him and Rayleigh which just tell me that his legend will probably even outlive Luffy's. Definitely one of my favorite characters in this story. And that Perona ad is something that I'll look forward for in every video from now on :)

[@mistermutaito]

Hello! Zoro is my favorite character too. If you love him now wait until you see THAT moment. Happy to see you enjoying this series.

[@avataraarow]

I’ve said this to some friends, but I think that calling zoro the rock of the crew is a horrible understatement. Zoro is like a goddam island that supports the entire crew and especially luffy, which is good because Luffy can’t swim lol. But for real, zoro will never say how he feels, but he clearly has a dedication to the crew and the long term success of the straw hats that even surpasses luffy’s. He will push luffy or be the bad guy because it’s what needs to be done, he’ll take as much pain and danger as you can throw at him without a second thought, and when luffy isn’t around zoro can take charge and act as the leader of the crew while luffy is occupied. Also a cool thing about his backstory is that one of the biggest themes in one piece is inherited will. The first thing that happens is shanks passing his “will” to luffy by giving him the strawhat, showing him that he believes luffy can be the pirate king. But zoro is the first person to consciously take on someone else’s will of his own volition. Kuina didn’t tell him to carry on and be the greatest swordsman for her sake, she died, and he decided on his own that he would take on the burden of her dreams and her will no matter what. All the strawhats take on someone’s will to some extent, but zoro was probably the most proactive about it if anyone. He wasn’t given her sword, he had to BEG for it. She didn’t tell him to carry on for her, he decided alone that he must do it. I think that shows a lot for zoro’s extremely deep sense of duty and honor that surpasses pretty much any character in the series, and idk I just thought it was cool

[@hanumanganesha9609]

That's why I think Zoro and Sanji are absolutely best for being his hands,Zoro always looks out for his captain and Sanji always looks out for the crew like Zoro saying to his captain that Ussop can't come and Sanji explaining to Nami and the rest , also Zoro's Nothing Happened moment is saving his captain and Sanji's Thanks I Needed A Light is for saving Nami and Ussop. One more thing Zoro is basically the demon of the crew ,he most of the time directly challenges his opponents like Ryuma ,Kaku , Daz bones etc. While Sanji being the guardian angel cause most of Sanji's fights come from saving his crew member like saving vivi from Bon clay ,Ussop from Jabra ,Nami from that pervert (I don't remember his name) , etc. That's why they create the perfect dynamic and it's always fun seeing either of them on screen.

Same! I love the Straw Hats but Zoro and Luffy are my faves. I can't choose one between them so whenever someone asks me who's my favorite character I always say Luffy and Zoro. It's their shared goals of becoming the best, their compassionate nature, Luffy's optimism and empathy and Zoro's dedication towards his captain and the loyalty that makes them awesome in my opinion. I love this duo!

[@determinedperson8816]

A great discription of one of my favourite characters 👌🏼

[@normalzman661]

I love that Perona cosplay 🥰💕🤗

[@dkutch8776]

1. I love that you did Perona's laugh!! 2. I can hardly wait for you to catch up to the current arc!!

[@mysteryman9488]

Favorite Zoro moment, every time he gets lost cause it never gets old for some reason xD, this dude will find a way to get lost while standing completely still.

[@bulbbulb9210]

Perona Napier reminds me of that video of SuperMechaFrieza where she went from saying 'no way' to doing One Piece to absolutely rocking extravagant One Piece cosplay, how the time passed and how much One Piece can change people

[@wiselettuce8715]

If I'm not alive when OP ends, i just know that I enjoyed the journey to get there, and the fact that i heard Merphy's Horohoro. That was the one piece i didn't expect i wanted.

[@DuaneLuy]

Just imagine the countless nakamas we lost along the way, I really hope we get there soon because our world is getting crazier

[@CAthroughTze]

Perona laugh alone made this video *chef's kiss*

[@confusedabsurdist]

Hey Merphy, I think after you have finished the Skypia re read you should also read Chapter 0. It's a special chapter that works as a little prequel to One Piece.

[@1pieveofKH]

I need you to know that the instant I saw the Perona cosplay I waved my hands around in absolute joy and excitement! You've been a wonderful addition to the fandom and I can't wait to see your thoughts about the series continue to develop both as you continue your reread, and continue reading further!

[@xDanKaix]

I think the thing that really makes the nothing happened moment for me is something I don't find people talk about ever and it's at the very beginning when Zoro agrees to join Luffy he says something along the lines of I will join you, but if helping you pursue your dreams ever hinders my dream, then I will not hesitate to leave. What gets me is that I think he still lives by that statement, but with the nothing happens scene we fully see that Zoro's dream is no longer just to become the greatest swordsman, but also to see Luffy's dreams through. And I think that is also why he threatened to leave the crew after Enies Lobby, because in that moment if he let Usopp push his way back onto the crew without Luffy commanding the respect he deserved, then how would Luffy ever be able to fulfil his own dream. So if Luffy's dream is unattainable then it only serves to hinder Zoro on his journey to being the greatest swordsman.

[@darknesswave100]

Yeah I think zoro still wants to accomplish his dream but luffy's and everybody else's dreams are just as important to him since they're part of the same crew. His sense of loyalty is insane. Even with sanji who annoys him you see throughout the series that when it comes down to it he never hesitates to come to his aid. Sure it's a rivalry but that doesnt get in the way of having each other's backs

[@natasagajic1061]

How fitting, because of the latest chapter, that we get a Zoro video today 😁

[@ratiuvictor9533]

Great job with perona's laughing style. It's so annoying but so authentic. What's your favorite laughing style. Mine are Brooke's Yohohohoho and Blackbeard's Zehahahaha.

[@darknesswave100]

Probably mine would be Doflamingo's laugh. It sounds so twisted and almost demonic. Also blackbeards is hard to top. Most annoying though? Freaking Moria. That laugh is like nails on a chalkboard for me 😭

[@benjaminacuna8013]

The fact that Zoro is both the strongest and also the most nurturing of the straw hats, yes he’s deadly but he’s also so caring.

I am so sorry for saying so, but your parona cosplay has me more excited then I should be, and lost admiring your beauty! Love what you do, keep on keeping on!

[@willm772]

You should watch "Why There is No Fictional Character like Zoro" it is an amazing character analysis that might just open your eyes to things you missed.

[@justwatching5284]

Did that have current arc spoilers..? If not, I would 100% recommend it.

[@simonakhter1919]

It has current arc spoilers, but Mr Morj's video on Zoro was probably the best character analysis I've ever seen and on Zoro in particular

[@AnyMEmdq]

@@simonakhter1919 I often find myself disagreeing with Morj, sadly, so haven't watch that one, but I'll give it a shot

[@simonakhter1919]

@@AnyMEmdq I see, but please do! The video isn't really an "opinion" of his. Just objective and factual analysis on Zoro, and it's really good.

[@AnyMEmdq]

@@simonakhter1919 I meant I disagree with his conclusions on his analysis xDD I watched it, though, and it is good. Half the video is him repeating himself (I get why, it's like Marge saying "This town is a part of us all a part of us all a part of us all"), and he ignored some stuff, but it's good.

[@joeshmo5435]

Also the Perona cosplay is so cute! I'm delighted you enjoyed her so much as she's one of my faves

[@njnjco]

You remember that one time when nothing happened?? That's my favorite moment in all of fiction.

[@RottenBen]

Maybe I'm just connecting red string where it doesn't belong, but the timing of this video with today's new chapter is unbelievable (the chapter relates to Zoro quite a bit). I don't think any of that would count as a spoiler.

[@trehubb6144]

I know this is your first manga but i wanna say the impact of zoro has transformed what a 2nd in command means for manga characters.. Great vid

[@glacecoco]

(no spoiler) And you couldn't have picked a best timing to make this video about Zoro. There has been some major revalations about his character in the latest chapter, I can't wait for you to catch up everything ! It's crazy what is happening atm

[@jg5745]

I was not ready to see you cosplay perona. I had to check if I was watching the right channel.

[@ricksheppard1543]

One of my favorite aspects of Zoro is that he's got such an immense respect for people's dreams that he's willing to go out of his way to help others. Plus he wears his honorability around everywhere. I think he's one of the two best crewmates at understanding Luffy (Robin being the other one) and willing to go along with whatever his captain asks of him.
