Zoro Roronoa

Characteristic

Zoro is confident in himself, but often acts very comically. The funny thing is that he has a terrible sense of direction (the ability to get lost even when walking in a straight line), which he is very insecure about as he never admits to being lost, instead always blaming someone else. While the crew is at sea, Zoro can (usually) be found sleeping or training towards his goal of becoming the best swordsman in the world. He and Sanji have a strong rivalry, often resorting to bickering (both verbal and physical) over issues ranging from minor to extreme. Zoro never calls Sanji by name in the original Japanese manga, he uses phrases like "dumb cook" etc. On the other hand, Sanji uses phrases like marimo (moss head). etc. Although he is not a samurai, he appears to support bushido to a certain extent and is often mistaken for it. Unlike Luffy and most other Straw Hats, Zoro is known to kill his opponents when necessary, but never in cold blood. Zoro is shown to enjoy fighting a strong opponent (he usually has to fight the second strongest villain in each arc, while Luffy fights the strongest). Zoro tends to maintain a maniacal grin and a serious gaze when fighting a worthy opponent.

Zoro has a serious personality, but he is often stupid and has an unhealthy addiction to alcohol.

Zoro has a stern, serious and aloof personality, but unlike Robin, he often reacts in a goofy and exaggerated comic style due to his short-tempered and impatient attitude. On the ship, he usually either trains with weights or sleeps. The only jobs he regularly performs are raising the anchor using his enormous strength and tending to the ship's crow's nest (which on the Thousand Sunny also serves as his personal gym). He also loves sake, much like Luffy loves meat, but like Nami, he never gets drunk due to his inhumanly high stamina and alcohol tolerance.

Zoro has a poor sense of direction, but is very aware of his surroundings and has good reactions.

Another notable trait is his lack of direction, as Zoro often gets lost, even in small, familiar spaces or when someone is guiding him. Despite this, he is often the first to sense an enemy or danger and react. He is often depicted as being highly aware of dangerous situations and people around him.

Despite his harshness, Zoro sincerely loves his comrades, he is honest with them, he is fair and principled.

Despite his harsh nature, Zoro had a strong sense of loyalty and mutual respect for his teammates when it came to achieving their dreams. After being defeated by Mihawk, Zoro swore allegiance to Luffy as his captain. Zoro often reminds others of harsh facts, which shocks some of the other crew members, although they usually decide that he is right. Zoro stated that he does not pray to any god and has never believed in anything other than himself, and for him there is only one person above him (his captain Luffy). Despite this, Zoro knows that he still has untapped potential and he constantly trains and improves his fighting skills.

Zoro is very perceptive, he can care about both his honor and the honor of those close to him.

Zoro is also very perceptive, which he demonstrates by making important and logical decisions at critical moments and assessing a situation from an objective point of view, as he did in Water 7 by assessing the best way to deal with what seemed like Robin's betrayal. And later again when the crew wanted Usopp back after he challenged Luffy to a duel for the Going Merry and lost, saying that they shouldn't feel sorry for Usopp. Zoro was the one who pointed out that it was Usopp's fault for leaving the team of his own free will.

Zoro is inherently embarrassed and often feels awkward and stupid in front of people when he does something that he thinks is really stupid, and tries to refuse it

Zoro is also very sensitive when he finds himself in awkward situations, where he prefers to protest loudly, usually blushing in embarrassment, rather than react violently like Nami or Sanji. Examples: During the "Thriller Bark" arc, Zoro refused to do anything stupid, such as calling Franky "Bro", or using Franky's later "Pirate Doc 6: The Big Emperor" prank technique when, after they kissed, Zoro felt stupid for agreeing to do this in the Dressrosa arc, Zoro was embarrassed when Wicca was with him when he was traveling around the city, as trying to communicate with her made people around him think that Zoro was "talking to himself" as they could not see Wicca due to their small size (although at the end of this arc it was revealed that the people of Dressrosa secretly knew about the existence of gnomes). Additionally, during the anime events in the Post-Enies Lobby arc, when Zoro was forced to help take care of the children, he intended to make sure that the team or anyone in the city who knew him personally did not find out about this awkward situation. although Robin later found out about this. Zoro does have rare moments where he reacts aggressively in such situations. , such as when he strangled Chopper during the Aqua Lagoon for telling Luffy and Nami an embarrassing story about Zoro getting stuck in the chimney of a house, which Luffy laughed at (even though Luffy had been in a similar situation before). Zoro's embarrassment was also shown when in Dressrosa the She-Devil refused to wear a mask and cloak, wearing something unusual for her usual appearance (more feminine), and when she blushed (because she was very embarrassed when she showed her body and face). (due to his habit of hiding his identity in front of others), Zoro himself blushed because he found her behavior very cute. and when Usopp and Sanji teased him about it, he hit them, showing that he didn't like the feeling of embarrassment.

He has a strict code of honor, is energetic, strong-willed and decisive. In the understanding of many, he is a "real man"

He also adheres to a strict code of honor as a swordmaster and never brags or lies about his abilities, sometimes outright admitting his weaknesses even to an enemy. He also never tries to run away from a fight or use stealth to win, considering it cowardly, and despises anyone who uses such tactics. Zoro is energetic, strong-willed and determined.

Zoro has a strong sense of leadership and reasoning. Zoro is a devoted follower of samurai philosophy and Bushido doctrines, such as the code of honor and integrity.

He has a strong sense of leadership and reasoning. Zoro is a devoted follower of samurai philosophy and Bushido doctrine, such as the code of honor and integrity, in which he strictly fights fair and square, consistently refusing to attack an opponent who has his back turned, with the only exception being when his friends are in imminent danger of losing their lives. when Zoro hits his attacker from behind. Zoro himself considers the scar on his back to be the greatest shame of a swordsman. Due to his closeness to Bushido, Zoro decided to disguise himself as Ronin, a masterless samurai, while working undercover in Wano, adopting the mannerisms and speech patterns of the samurai, such as finishing his sentences to Degozaru, and even used them when he became a criminal. He also asked Hiyori to allow him to pay his respects to Ryuma, the legendary samurai hero, and is willing to return Ryuma's parting gift to Shusui back to Wano in exchange for Enma, one of the two legendary swords of another great samurai Oden. Despite this, Zoro refused to wear the samurai armor provided by Hitetsu due to his military pragmatism, as it would restrict his movements.

Despite his evil and rather cold nature, Zoro has a very kind and compassionate heart. He is very protective and caring for the weak.

Despite his evil and rather cold nature, as well as his fearsome reputation, Zoro has a very kind heart, as he was willing to risk his life for a little girl he didn't know shortly after he met him. When Rika prepared him onigiri, Zoro graciously accepted him and thanked him for the food. When Helmeppo stepped on the food, Zoro asked Luffy to take it and feed it to him, then tell Rika that he thought it was delicious. When Charlos shot an innocent man, Zoro carried the victim to the hospital, despite the fact that he was a complete stranger. Although Hiyori and Toko were strangers at first, he did not hesitate to protect them from Kamazo. When fighting weaker or innocent people, he tries to hold back and use the blunt side of his swords to avoid causing serious injury to them, although as Nami noted, his monstrous strength is still capable of causing great damage.

Zoro can be reckless and insane in battle, often takes risks and is reckless in some of his judgments.

Zoro has behaved absurdly recklessly in the face of major battles, often at the cost of his own well-being. Many times he received injuries that would kill a normal person and overcame them through willpower, such as when he was given a gaping scar that he allowed to be inflicted on himself on purpose, and when he absorbed all of Luffy's pain from his battle with Gekko Moriah after Bartholomew Kuma pushed it out of him and forced Zoro to take it upon himself in exchange for sparing the captain's life, which was so traumatic that his eyes temporarily became bloodshot. As a result, he was often left very badly bloodied and bandaged, as well as receiving scars more times than anyone else in the crew of the Straw Hat Pirates, all of which were inflicted in particular after he joined Luffy on his journey . Despite this, he has a habit of ignoring these severe injuries and continuing to fight, sometimes until he is fully healed. His recklessness extends to the point of self-harm: he willingly risks a limb by throwing Sandai Kitetsu into the air, extending his arm and letting it land to see if he can overcome his curse (a successful risk), and slicing his ankles to avoid a death trap that doesn't only it didn't succeed, but it also caused him to lose a lot of blood and get even more scars. Moreover, Zoro tends to face death defiantly and show no fear of death, even when he is in a severely injured state. This put his life at risk as the unhealed wounds reopened or stretched, leaving him in terrible agony.

behaviour

Zoro usually maintains a very stern, serious and aloof personality, but often loses his temper in a goofy and exaggerated comical manner. However, this anger seems to be the only emotion Zoro often feels comfortable expressing. Outside of situations where he feels confident in battle, he is the least likely of the Straw Hats to smile or laugh, rarely fooling around with the rest of the team, and prefers to distance himself more to sleep or train. In fact, his defeat at the hands of Dracule Mihawk and subsequent oath to Monkey D. Luffy is the only time since the death of his friend Shimotsuki Kuina that Zoro has been seen crying in the series. Even in moments that are especially difficult for the team and require sadness, Zoro prefers to maintain a quiet solemnity rather than express his emotions outwardly. He has been shown to have some belief that these emotions can interfere with his judgment as a swordsman: when Om asked him if he wanted revenge after finding Tony Tony Chopper wounded and unconscious, he responded that he didn't like fighting for reasons like this . However, despite this statement, he cares deeply for his teammates and wishes to protect them at all costs, telling Ohm that despite his preference to fight without motivation, he senses it coming.
