1. He used Haki to cut her cheek
2. Tashigi contributed, making it 2 vs 1 and not a "solo."

OT: Shallow character, and while badass Law, Doflamingo, Kizaru, Rayleigh, Whitebeard, Ace, Crocodile, Aokiji, Rob Lucci and Akainu all shit on him in some way or another.
Shoo shoo this is a Zoro badassery appreciation thread, dont try to be all logical with your equations here

1. Tashigi defeated Monet

2. I'm aware it's my opinion. But I am not wrong. Sure, Zoro is more badass than those people. But why is that that's all you have going for you?
Law, Ace, and Doflamingo all of have better backstories. Their personalities are better written, ties in with their personal stories better than Zoro's, and have better motivation to do what they're doing.

Crocodile, Doflamingo, Akainu and Rob Lucci, when analyzed, are good literary symbols of different things. Zoro is a literary symbol for nothing whatsoever. There is no deeper meaning to his character, you don't look at Zoro and see some kind of reflection on the world like you do with these four villains. Aokiji is also the same, and Kizaru if you look hard enough.

Zoro is badass yes, but that's what his character revolves around. He's the generic, antisocial tough guy found a dime a dozen. The fact that Zoro is the definition of badass is why he's such a weakly written character, he has nothing else truly going for him. "Getting lost and doing badass stuff, while kinda mentally slow." That's it, you just summed up Zoro's character for any non-OP reader.
The truth is painful.



Honestly fine Crocodile, Akainu, and Newgate to be more badass. Zoro just comes off as an arrogant prick. Notably in the New World. Ok can hardly be badass when all they fight post skip are people levels below you. That's like walking into a pre-school, talking shit and punching the nearest 5 year old in the face.

Easiest 10bucks I ever made, see dear Cousin(who, I shan't name) it went south like I said it wld now pay up.

OT: he is indeed good though there will yalas b those who think otherwise but I like him coz even though he always gets lost(geographicaly) he never loses sight of his true heading, and even thoughche is a stoic, gruff recter he has a compassionate side to him as he can kte hardships for others. As for the 'he is of little development' thesis well he was already disciplined from the onset so he isn't mged good that needs a huge heaven vs earth type kinda change all he needs is to smooth out the edges so unlike other charecters who have mountains to climb to reach their ideal [persons he is already close to his ideal person the only thing he needs major improvement is his strength but he is 100% focuses on that so all in all a great kinda Guy he is, the type one can look at and say "if I'm half as good as him" I wld have turned out a gray man(if don't then that's k we all can't b the same now can we?)
