trimming down the haki portion of the entry


* TheGift: Zigzagged. While a major portion of Zoro's strength is due to the constant training he puts himself through while the crew is traveling from island to island, he is also naturally talented in combat. Flashbacks show him to be a ChildProdigy who could already defeat several adults on his own (with his only superior being ''another'' ChildProdigy), and in the series itself, he manages to master several powerful techniques, such as cutting steel, within a single battle alone. [[spoiler:His own mastery of Conqueror's Haki Coating is further proof; while Zoro had prior advanced training with the two common forms of Haki, he had no idea he even had Conqueror's Haki until the Onigashima War, where he began to fully awaken it. Even then, he misses all the signs that he has it until his fight with King, where he finally uses it master his new sword Enma]]. That is something that no amount of hard work and training alone can do; it takes talent that is only seen once or twice in a generation, if that.

Similar to Luffy's goal, Zoro wishes to [[ToBeAMaster become the greatest swordsman in the world]] as a promise to his childhood rival Kuina, whom he wanted to win against but never could because she died in an accident. Unlike Luffy, however, he needs only to defeat Dracule "Hawk Eyes" Mihawk, the current greatest swordsman in the world, to do so. He actually meets up with Mihawk fairly early in the story, but [[CurbstompBattle failed to land a single hit]] and was sliced by Mihawk's {{BFS}} for his trouble. Mihawk, however, held back just enough to leave Zoro alive, and in a truly [[DareToBeBadass epic speech]] told Zoro to travel the world, grow stronger, and challenge him again when he was ready. Zoro took this early defeat to heart, swearing an oath then and there that he would never lose a fight until the day that he dueled Mihawk again and defeated him - a promise that Zoro has fulfilled to the best of his ability ever since. In a strange twist of events, Zoro is eventually ''trained'' by Mihawk to become a stronger swordsman to protect his crew. Mihawk, who had witnessed Zoro's unwavering dedication to taking his title as the Strongest Swordsman in the World first-hand at the beginning of the series, is shocked when Zoro later comes to him and [[AintTooProudToBeg lays down his blades and begs]] Mihawk to teach him the way of the sword, which [[VillainRespect impresses]] Mihawk enough to agree to teach a swordsman who has vowed to surpass him.

Zoro is known as one of the “Eleven Supernovas”, a title given to an infamous assortment of (mostly) pirate captains representing a new generation of piracy that (mostly) entered the New World at around the same time after the Summit War at Marineford. Zoro is notable for being one of the only Supernova that is ''not'' the captain of their own pirate crew (the other is Killer, Eustass Kid’s NumberTwo). Like his captain, Zoro is also counted as a member of the “The Worst Generation” of pirates, a group made up of the Eleven Supernova and the newly risen Emperor Marshall D. Teach.

wanted to make Zoro's character intro a little more cohesive


Roronoa Zoro is the nineteen/[[TimeSkip twenty-one]]-year-old swordsman and unofficial first mate of the Straw Hat Pirates. Recruited as a mildly notorious bounty hunter in East Blue (hence his "Pirate Hunter" moniker), he grows into a monstruously powerful man who doesn't even need a Devil Fruit ability, using a unique ''Santoryu'' sword style (literally "Three Sword Style") in battle, wielding a sword in each hand along with one in the mouth. After the time skip, he manages to master Observation and Armament Haki as well. Zoro mostly drinks and sleeps in his spare time (when he's not training his ass off), but becomes a real demon in battle that can defeat five hundred {{Mooks}} in two seconds. Often wears a green bandanna on his forearm that he ties around his head when he [[LetsGetDangerous gets dangerous]]. Moreover, he is Luffy's NumberTwo, sometimes acting as a voice of authority when the crew's future must be decided, and regularly happens to battle TheDragon of the current BigBad the crew are fighting, which is an occasion to hone his swordsmanship. Alongside Luffy and Sanji, Zoro is considered one of the Monster Trio (怪物三人組, Kaibutsu San-ningumi) of the Straw Hats.

Dewicking "Asexual", per TRS decision.


* {{Asexual}}: Zoro is the only male member of the crew not to peek in the girls' bathroom during the Alabasta arc, and who shows a general lack of interest in the opposite sex (Though he could be respecting their privacy). He's even proven immune to Nami and Robin's feminine wiles. [[spoiler:In Wano, the most beautiful woman in the country slept on top of him while he was unconscious and he mostly just got annoyed.]] This is probably a case of "[[CelibateHero thinks love is a distraction]]", since he seems to focus almost completely on his fighting ability. May also have something to do with his first female friend, Kuina, dying on him when they were children. However, Zoro ''has'' shown awkwardness towards some women over his life. He blushes when Kuina mentions her figure is developing, is uncomfortable around Tashigi due to her resemblance to Kuina, is briefly taken back by Robin's charms when she first joins, and is very uncomfortable to see Hiyori sleeping so snugly on his chest when he wakes up.

* CallingYourAttacks: While this is common throughout the entire cast, Zoro takes it UpToEleven. Many of his attacks have some of the longest names in the series. Special mention goes to Billion-fold World Trichiliocosm, which is preceded by a ''three sentence chant'', and [[spoiler:the King of Hell Three Sword-Style he develops during the Onigashima War]].



* GenerationXerox: During the Onigashima War, Hyogoro and Kawamatsu comment that Zoro strongly resembles the legendary samurai Shimotsuki Ryuma, the FamousAncestor of his former rival Kuina and master Koushiro, and the man (well, [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot zombie]]) he inherited Shusui from, which Zoro (unwillingly) returned to his grave during the Wano Arc. On top of the physical resemblance, Ryuma was also a one-eyed samurai like Zoro. They also have similar fighting styles and codes of honor (in part due to Zoro being trained by one of Ryuma's descendants). To further add to the similarities, at Punk Hazard Zoro even cuts off the head of a dragon like Ryuma did in legend. As Ryuma is a legend in Wano, this resemblance is one of the reasons why the natives come to trust Zoro so much.

** One of the things that help clue them into his resemblance to Ryuma is his strong resemblance to the former daimyo of Ringo, Shimotsuki Ushimaru, another one of Ryuma's descendants, [[spoiler:Onimaru's original master, and one of the samurai who befriended Yamato in his childhood and helped him read Oden's journal]]. According to them, Ushimaru was also a spectacular swordsman like Zoro, and ultimately, Zoro's resemblance to him ''along'' with his resemblance to Ryuma is what makes Hyogoro, Kawamatsu, and other Wano natives so predisposed to him.

* ChildProdigy: Zoro was already an extremely talented swordsman as a child, being able to defeat every adult in his dojo at around 8-10 years old. Ironically though, the one person he could ''not'' beat was another young prodigy, Kuina.

Said killing intent is actually foreshadowing of [[spoiler:Zoro's ability to use Conqueror's Haki.

It's definitely foreshadowing. Not only is the Monet example noted as much on One Piece's foreshadowing page, Monet's reaction to Zoro's "killing intent" is exactly like Motobaro's reaction to Luffy's first (unconscious) use of Conqueror's Haki, the only difference being that she wasn't knocked out like the bull was.
