Rant (No trolling)🙏🏾: Note: You can interpret what I say here as evidence of 1) Zoro being a sexist, or 2) this fight bringing up MAJOR character inconsistencies, as some of you claim Zoro has not shown sexist tendencies up to this point👍🏽 So... Zoro refused to ~actually~ hurt Monet, and just danced around it and refused to fight her like she was any better than a child for no possible explanation than because she was a woman. Zoro has REPEATEDLY–DOZENS OF TIMES–slashed apart people so weak that even Usopp could beat them in arm-wrestling, and yet for some reason he never even once tries to actually hurt Monet and the only difference between her and the other people he cuts down without a second thought is that she’s a woman. Zoro’s pulling this big, dramatic “Arg I’m so strong and so scary and I’ll murder you right here and now I’m so powerful and ruthless and I don’t care that you’re a woman” except he never proved any of it. I don’t give a SHIT if Zoro pulled some dramatic fake kill on Monet to scare her, because that is the definition of going easy on your opponent and refusing to actually hurt her. How are you going to argue to me that Zoro was not going easy on Monet when we know that from the very beginning he could have taken her out in a single attack. And yet instead, he refused to just cut her down and as a result Robin was stabbed, numerous Marines (who were the Straw Hats allies at the time and helping to protect the children) were grievously hurt, and Tashigi almost had her entire arm ripped off. I keep saying it–I hate talking about this subject because people just ignore the things that Zoro says and does in the manga because he’s not VOCAL about not wanting to fight women like Sanji is. And yet, he demonstrates he feels that way anyway. To summarise, I hope you can see my perspective aligning with interpretation 1. And if you still ignore these things then I guess this must be one of the worst scenes in One Piece for you as the fight brings up a "character inconsistency" of Zoro demonstrating sexism I'll leave it at that👍🏽

Lindasy: I like this arc the most. Carson: You say that every arc. Lindasy: 'Cause it keeps getting better... Way to sum it up. People often comment on how it is insane for the show/story to keep getting better like that. Every OP arc is better than the previous one. But I think it's kinda natural for these kinds of long-run manga where the artists have a lot time to grow up with their works and develop their skills. Though I still think it's insane to stay consistent in it like Oda does... Not saying he's like a god, he still could write some parts of the story better, just saying that he keeps improving with each arc and never fails to deliver. <3

Wait, but aren't you a Sanji fan? Sanji absolutely refuses to hurt women, while Zoro simply doesn't like it (because of his backstory, not cuz of ramdom sexism???). He will 100% fight and hurt women if he needs to. It's really not that crazy. Also, Monet is much stronger than the usual randoms Zoro fights. I see it as Zoro being "well i just need to stop her, don't really want to unnecessarily hurt her so i'll just stall time until i have to go or someone else takes care of her".

Zoroooo

"This is the New World. Lock it in, Luffy" ... Wait, these women are saying I won't attack them because I think they are so inferior to me. I better tell them they're wrong with a cool line, then prove them completely right in a badass way so no one notices. Anyway, I hope Luffy is locking in.

Great dragon shock really shocked her🤣

What's interesting about this fight is that Zoro actually kinda proves Tashigi's point. When fighting Monet earlier he was avoiding cutting her and simply blocking. And so far in the story he's never even cut a woman yet. In Whiskey Peak, he used the back of his blade against the fake nun and specifically did not defeat Miss Monday using his swords, just physical strength instead. In Skypiea when fighting Enel, he one shots Robin and Zoro declares 'she's a woman' when keeping her from falling. To which Enel responds '' Yeah, I saw ''. And the first time Zoro met Tashigi he noted it was the first time he met an actual swordswoman, and he hasn't met any other still. Basically as he mentioned, there are targets he doesn't wanna cut, but it's not a guarantee he won't. The thing is he still did not cut Monet and instead just scared her to death. Even though they're in a time sensitive situation with a deadly poison gas. So Tashigi feels like she was right about her assessment and had to instead finish the job herself. Which is what happened. The noteworthy part being how Zoro sees the situation, slicing her cheek being the only damage he's done. He seems to have a bias ever since Kuina's death because a younger Zoro would have felt there was no difference yet she still died tragically, probably scarring him. Whether he's aware of it or not, as Sanji said, he's got a softer side than can become a weakness.

Getting flashbacks to TotallyNotMark's OP reviews. He always had this exact meme for every arc lol

"Softer side" just because he avoided cutting? He literally called Monet a bitch last episode. Also watching Tashigi as she's being eaten alive and about to lose an arm is really empathetic I must say. Truly👏🏽 Really showed Zoro's "softer side". Especially when he was torturing Miss Monday. It was bare-handed and not with sword slashes. So kind of Zoro, the green goof🥹

@Matthew Gilroy Please don't respond to my comments if it's to be a dense wall.

Not this episode giving that guy Matthew more ammo 😂🤣🤣 Zoro's fierce animal line is one of my favourites. Why is he so cool Oda??

Matthew Gilroy

The fat Stormtrooper Samurai from Naruto were the true villains as they were using swords. The Akatsuki did nothing wrong as they weren't using swords

Szonin

This attack "Great Dragon Shock" by Zoro is so badass, cutting her without cutting her.

Ariix

What point are you even making? Zoro did hurt her, even if she didn't die. You don't need to kill someone to be badass. And yes, Zoro doesn't directly admit it, because he has a lot of pride and is bad at showing his weak sides. But it's consistent. He did his part without fail. I don't get what part of his character is bothering you.

unlucker

find something important to care this much about, this is beyond tedious

Ultra Ball

This is the 3rd or 4th time Zoro scared someone to beat them…

Can you name the others. I have 0 idea who else he did this to

Also the whole "Goda" thing originally started afaik sometime in 2009 during Marineford & was largely in jest to mock fans who would overhype things in OP... It only became less unironic around 2016/17 and onwards, which BOLDcast is still a good 3-4 years (≈ 200 eps) away from :)

Drakojin

If they stay this consistent they will catch up in a bit more than 2 years (using 6eps per week as metric.. Ofc 3 years if they take well earned breaks)

klairvoyage

oh yeah fs, BOLDcast would likely reach that part of the story by around February next year alr I guess I phrased that a bit weird, I meant release-wise 3-4 years away, since with Punk Hazard "they are currently in 2013"

I think Zoro does have a soft spot for women, but unlike Sanji he'll still do what he has to if it comes to it. He'll avoid killing women if he can, but if he has to he would.

I remember he did it to those guys at sabaody

Monet is what should have happened to Might Guy
