Hello, I’m KENTA, a manga enthusiast from Japan.
This time, I’m bringing you an analysis of Zoro, the swordsman from One Piece. Zoro has been supporting Luffy as his right-hand man throughout the story and continues to grow on his path to becoming the world’s greatest swordsman. However, many unresolved mysteries and foreshadowing still surround him. In this article, I’ll dive into some of the most intriguing points and explore what Zoro’s future role might be.
Let’s dive into the foreshadowing of Zoro’s awakening while speculating on what’s to come!
1. Zoro’s Left-Eye Scar and Its Mystery Zoro is often seen fighting with his left eye closed. Since entering the New World arc, a significant scar on his left eye has been depicted, but its true meaning has yet to be fully revealed. Fans have been theorizing extensively about this mystery.
The most widely accepted theory is that Zoro received the scar during his two years of training with Mihawk, the world’s greatest swordsman. The intense training under Mihawk must have been grueling for Zoro, and it is believed that the scar on his left eye is a result of this. If this theory is true, this event will continue to influence Zoro’s growth moving forward.
