Zoro’s sense of direction affects everyone around him! ?
Roronoa Zoro from “ONE PIECE” is a swordsman aiming to become the greatest swordsman in the world. He is deeply trusted by Luffy and is an indispensable member of the Straw Hat Pirates, but he has a weak point of “extreme sense of direction”.
Zoro’s lack of sense of direction is so bad that his friends are desperate to keep him from acting alone. What’s more, it seems to be gradually getting worse, and some readers have said, “Hasn’t it gotten worse since ‘Sorashima Arc’?”
In the first place, Zoro seems to have had no sense of direction even before he joined the crew. At this, Luffy also tsukkomi, “What are you a lost child?” However, movement in Syrup Village and Aaron Park did not show any noticeable problems.
However, at the island “Little Garden” that I stopped by after entering the “Grand Line”, I lost my way because I remembered that the tree with the ivy was on my left. Regarding such Zoro, it seems that some fans think that “the sense of direction has deteriorated at a certain point”.
It is the wounds received in the battle with Dracule Mihawk at the floating restaurant “Baratie”, and the subsequent battle at Aaron Park. Zoro, who was seriously injured by Mihawk’s attack, recovers afterward, but while fighting the octopus fishman Hacchan in Arlong Park, the wound opens and he collapses once.
Afterwards, Zoro manages to defeat Hatchan while his wound is in a dangerous state with a fever. However, Zoro, who was driven to the point where he could have died, was attacked by Aaron and was even more devastated. By the way, Aaron was also surprised when he saw Zoro’s scars and said, “How can he live with such a body…!?” And Luffy, who was resurrected after being sunk to the bottom of the sea once more, throws Zoro out saying, “It’s a replacement!”
After the battle, Dr. Nako, a doctor in Cocoyashi Village, scolded Zoro, who was originally seriously injured and did something ridiculous. According to the diagnosis, it is “normally 2 years for complete recovery”. This series of near-death experiences is believed by some to be the cause of disorientation. There were also opinions such as, “I lost too much blood all at once, and there were some aftereffects on my brain. bottom.
While there are such considerations, the official reason remains unknown, but Zoro’s lack of sense of direction is demonstrated in a good way at the climax of “Alabasta”. Zoro, who was told to “go north,” climbed onto the top of the clock tower for some reason. Usopp said to him, “North and top are completely different!?” It has contributed greatly to delivering Vivi to the top of the clock tower.
In addition, in “Wano Kuni”, he showed an advanced feat of going somewhere without realizing it, even though he was moving on a guardian dog, Chiyo. Even Luffy, who was riding with me, was amazed at this, saying, “I can get lost on a dog…”.
What’s more, in the next episode, Zoro said, “That komainu, you can get lost while riding me…” and didn’t understand why he was separated from Luffy and the others. Even on the Internet, it became a hot topic, saying, “If you can get lost even though you’re moving on your own feet, you’re awakening as a person with abilities.” “Why didn’t you realize it yourself? I was.
In “Sorashima”, Luffy laughed, “You’re no better than an animal.” is no longer hardcore. Fans commented, “Isn’t your sense of direction getting worse since Vivi in her Miss Wednesday days gave you ‘Me Maidance’?” I guess I’m not good at it,” there were various opinions.
Zoro’s “no sense of direction” is now accepted by fans as a “promise”. Even in the final chapter, Zoro’s lost child may take the story in an unexpected direction.
