tbh i think oda meant to reach wano and make it all about zoro the same way he reached whole cake and made it all about sanji. I mean like, at the very beginning, back when he made him japanese and then said "there is a country that's one piece's japan, btw, and that's not where zoro's dojo is" - I think that's why his original backstory is so simple, it was supposed to follow the same trend as luffy's and sanji's and turn into this whole grand thing once they reached wano and discovered that he's the only direct descendant of one of the last daimyo and also of the greatest samurai ever lived, those are great bases to start some form of conflict on? tbh? and also directly mirror our finding out that sanji is some form of prince himself, but then instead we got to wano and the only thing we found out on page was that kuina's relatives were from there, and everything about zoro is revealed in a sbs family tree with oda going "I don't think I'll ever say this in the manga at this point so here". Imho what happened was that oda wanted to form some kind of conflict between zoro's family rights/what was expected of him in wano and his belonging in the crew, but then the way he evolved as a character through the story made it so that his only plausible reaction to finding out all that would be some form or another of I don't care and you don't really write an arc on that, do you. zoro's so simple minded and goal oriented that it's impossible for him to have any serious drama that's not about luffy, at this point. I do prefer it like this, though? everyone in the fandom likes to draw comparisons and parallels between zoro and sanji one way or another but my favourite one is the narrative foils one and zoro's lack of a proper backstory and complications to his being part of the crew make for a great black-and-white situation with them. something like sanji's story being all about running from his past and zoro's being all about running towards his future, I love that so I'm glad this is the zoro we got in the end
still, would be cool to know what oda had planned for him exactly

>makes a point about taking high-value-added production out of the hands of the global south at coup-point
>anarcho makes a smug point about a european country taking unrefined materials out of the hands of the global south at coup-point & taking the profits from the value-add of that extraction process as if it somehow undermines the first point (allthewhile ignoring the mass refinery industries in canada [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [i can go on])
>hundreds of the most gullible anticommunist schmucks actually think thats a good counter & reblog to own the tankies

"You're a bunch of fools! You two almost thwarted my beautiful plan! So much for the surprise, you were about to reveal the whole thing. I wonder where I found collaborators as inept as you! And now you'll stay locked in there!! You're grounded!* Tiè!*"
"I don't understand why he's so worked up about this."
"I don't wanna stay here anymore I'm so hungry!!"
(author's note: I have three notes here. 1- "where did y find x" is an insult often used in italian to imply they have little value. 2- "You're grounded" literally "in castigo", the 'you' is implied, he basically just says "grounded", and it has a clear connotation of putting your kids in time-out when they misbehave. 3- most fascinatingly, "tiè" is untranslatable, it's a regional expression along the lines of "serves you right", sometimes accompanied by a gesture that's equally as italian-specific, called "bras d'honneur". It is the closest Keroro can get to telling his friends "get fucked" without there being trouble about vulgarity, even though I am sincerely surprised they used it.)
