#i will NEVER get over zoros three motif and how he carries his dream for two others. his shining stars and most important people <333< /div> Explore tagged Tumblr posts

[1pcii]

GOD YES THATS ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING. like they were just childeren... with such big shoes they wanted to fill 😭. i do kinda find the parallel between zoro and usopp kinda interesting now that you mention it, two sets of lonely kids finding the will to live and persue their dreams in each other </3. usopp and kaya are the good ending ig, they both get to do what they've dreamed off with a promise to meet again someday after they accomplish their goals :').

it makes me SAD like that was zoro's best friend and they TOOK HER AWAY WHAT THE FUCK DUDE. she's right by all the really important people in the strawhat's lives, zoro never forgets her and carries her sword and her dream and I'm Never Getting Over It

YEAAA 😭😭😭 and all zoro has left is her sword, will and 2nd earring to represent her by, he carries her in everything he does (everytime he goes on about how be made a promise to his captain and A BEST FRIEND. im crying i love them so much).

(side note i checked the notes for that post and saw that it was just our past reblogs/tags in there which is SO funny to me. swordposting was our kuina meets tashigi in loguetown au moment fr) asadfgjkh yesss. i just noticed that after checking too. true one piece transmasc patriots moment o7

ASDGHJHFGDGFSJG THATS SUCH A CUTE PIC theyre so cute and silly <333!!! (also random detail but they gave opla kuina zoros uniform w the shorts and tall boots and zoro the long trousers :O idk if it has any purpose but, inchresting). i absolutey LOVED kuina (and zoros) child actors, they were incredible and she made me cry abt their story all over again :')

INSANE THEY MAKE ME INSANE

THIS!! KIDS DO NOT GIVE A SHIT!! ^^^^ zoro yelling at kuina because she's saying zoro's the lucky one-- when he was the one who lost. how zoro thinks that's stupid of her to think and that she's acting like she doesn't work hard for her skill... and how that actually works to quell her self doubts for a bit hanfahfadim. Agony.

when the catharsis before the hubris 😶. zoro being the worlds first accidental feminist through sheer willpower and love of swordfighting alone. i love them forever

the fact her own father didn't think she could do it; her father of people, someone so composed and rational...

this is fucking me up because like, imagine how frustrated she mustve felt every time. like idk if hed do it intentionaly but the feelings that maybe you are the 'hysterical' one for being so 'emotional' around a person like that... i really wish we got more insight on koshiro/the background on him and kuina... i want to study him so baddd XO.

she musve felt so scared and alone and ill never get over it... the fact she only gains a LITTLE bit of catharsis RIGHT BEFORE SHE DIES 😭😭😭

animanga kuina is like that one ta or something in a class full of 4th grader lmao

koshiro: kuina we lost zoro again can you take over so i can check the woods to see where he is? kuina(internally): thats the third time this week and its only monday. this is the kid that plans to surpass me 🙄? i should beat his ass extra hard next dual just for this.

the teen angst in both of them rlly does add a little something. that does remind me abt this post talks abt how their ages being different sorta recontextualizes their story, its pretty cool!

ZORO ADOPTING MORE FEMINIE FIGHTING STYLES IN OPLA TO REMEBER KUINA IM SOBBING

i read this fic you linked earlier (will be writing a proper ask soon because it was SO GOOD) and thinking about how zoro in canon does similar stuff; wears his bandana to look more like her, wears her shirt, her sword etc... oda LET HIM TRANSITION FOR HIS FIGHT AGAINST MIHAWK PLEASE IT WOULD BE SO GOOD.

HONESTLYYY I will die on the hill that kuina and Zoro's fight is one of the best. it may not be a super big one but it is sooo narratively important and practically shaped zoro as a person.

but also highly recommended this other post that actually does deep dive into the choreography and how she compares to mihawk (MY FUCKING GIRLLL. SHES SO COOL)

god people having a similar amount of brainrot abt kuina as cora would genuinely be so amazing. like I get Cora has a teeny bit more screentime but kuina is important to the #2 most popular character in all on 1pc! put more respect on her name. not anyone else can say they've defeated him 2001 times!!!

it is sooo so interesting to me and i totally agree that sanji's thing with gender probably gets talked about way more because of how is behavior is

mh, i feel like sanji has alot more obvious to pick up and analyse complexity, his trans coding gets a whole arc while zoros is more a casual hc yknow? a lot more subtle. ig in a way reiju is zoros kuina but opposite in every way. zoros whole deal hinges on a single person and fight and conversation etc. the brainrotters get it 💪

THEIR BANTER IS SO FUNNY, like they had actual beef w each other before their fight its hilarious. kuina coping by abolutely ripping into other students is such a good concept, go boyboss go. 1005 DESERVES IT 🤝

also the excitement for irl kuina fighting is so real 😖. OPLA zoro Vs kuina was beautiful to watch (zoro's edgy ass asking her to kill him will never not be gold). KUINA LORE FTW 💪💪💪

SHADAHKNKAS saw u in the notes of some kuina posts and that made me realize that there is simply a bond with kuina and tashigi fans, who may even often be the same fan, because AOUGHHH KUINA I CARE HIM SO MUCH episode 19 literally changed me forever. swords + gender struggles are all you need to hook me on a character sometimes Maybe. the whole greatest swordsman promise... sob. also. something about zoro promising his name will reach the heavens and trans kuina. which made me think.. what if kuina and The trans fear of dying then having your deadname on your tombstone that you can't do anything about because you're dead. kuina dying before they even get to figure everything out and all of a sudden he's just known as kuina forever, and then zoro making a name for himself in kuina's honor or something idk (i like zoro's backstory) (KUINA )

THERE ISS. people who theorise that they are secretly related or the same person or direct parallels are so close to getting it but don't imo (no shade to those theories tho, I just personally find them narratively unsatisfying).

like they are parallels in that kuina is symbolic of the sexism people suffer and tashigi is an adult woman who has come out the other end sword swinging but ultimately so unsure of herself as a result. also the (trans)genderisms, we are all hand in hand 🤝.

MAN KUINAS STORY BROKE ME DOWN ON A BASE LEVEL AND REWIRED NY BRAIN. I had to take a break from reading just to let it soak in it's so good, a swordsmans promise indeed, that scene was beautiful, I love zoro the world's first a accidental feminist <3. zoro carrying on her dream with his will never not have me in hysterics.

FUCK YEA THATS SUCH A GOOD IDEA. I have soo many thoughts about baby!zoro and kuina and trangenderism. egg kuina cis zoro, egg kuina STEALTH TRANS ZORO ABSVDJFBKSHDKDN <333.

little baby zoro looking at his grave with the uncontrollable urge to carve out those letters. to carry and rearrange them and make sure they get back to him in the afterlife spelling 'worlds greatest swordsman'.

trans kuina makes me so emotional because ultimately I don't know if they were canonically trans but it's my FAVOURITE 'what if' for them. they never really got to be anyone outside the dojo masters daughter. the failure of a heir and the girl who beat zoro 2001 times. who would they have been if they got to grow up? come to terms with themselves and unlearned all that heavy, painful biases pushed onto them? as a transmasc who's studying into a (cis)male dominated field myself ik, the feelings of 'betrayal' and 'proving misogynists right' and imposter syndrome and inadequacy issues and perfectionism they might've gone through,,, sobbing my eyes out HE MEANS EVERYTHING TO MEE.

zoros backstory is genuinely one of my favourite parts of the manga idc how 'simple' it was it's still beautiful.

green bull will kill ussop which will lead to sanji fighting green bull and possibly killing him

ussops death  its been foreshadowied here:

usopp is the fourth person to be a part of the crew(this includes luffy ) and in japan the number four is associated with death for the Japanese word for “four” sounds like the word for “death”(shi)(pronunciation)

en . wikipedia . org/wiki/Japanese_numerals#Basic_numbering_in_Japanese “The 4th division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Thatch, was the only commander who met an unfortunate end before the present story. He was murdered by Marshall D. Teach because Thatch had found the one Devil Fruit Teach desired most- the Dark-Dark Fruit. PX-4 was the first of the Pacifista to be destroyed.” tvtropes . org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FourIsDeath en . wikipedia . org/wiki/Japanese_superstitions

more reasoning on ussop being the straw hat who dies

He's considered by Oda to be "the weakest" member of the crew at every point of the story. Only Chopper dying instead would match the feeling of needless cruelty that Usopp dying would bring.

He's one of the original members of the crew from East Blue, at this point basically counts as a day one.

He's split from the crew once before and had to reestablish his loyalty, making his connection to the crew rather deep compared to the other members.

His bounty has surpassed Sanji's and has the title of "God" on his wanted poster. His reputation has been increasing constantly.

He's the ONLY Straw Hat that can die and still achieve his dream. Becoming a brave warrior of the sea doesn't require that he be alive to enjoy his new reputation, only that people remember him as such. Every single other Straw Hat requires them to live to accomplish their goals.

also who will kill him  well ussops  inspiration (besides pinnochio and aesop ) is  tengu  

about Tengu Legend in Japan. Tengu is expressed as a shooting star/comet. The shooting star came from East. there are some ranks of Tengu. White Wolf Tengu is the lowest. when wolf spends many years, it will get a god power and become a white wolf tengu. the white wolf tengu’s job is carrying people to climb a mountain.

represents the white wolf

god power etc

en . wikipedia .  org/wiki/Tengu

tengu is a shinto god that  long nose and crow like features the tengu is known for playing tricks and deceiving people they also only help those they find worthy and hate people who use knowledge or authority to gain status or fame this fits ussop the tengu uses star attacks too. tengus are at their stronget when theyre made whenver ussop gets angry in a fight he has shown to have amazing strength they also use magic associated with trickery (good at tricking people  and the forest just like ussop I mean after ussops time on that island during the timeskip ussop got alot of of plants to use in his attacks. and ussop is good at trickery like the trick he did on mr.4 in baroqu works and miss merry chirstmas during their fight or him

star attacks by ussop  along with attacks that relate to celestial objects which shooting stars are

onepiece . wikia . com/wiki/Usopp%27s_Arsenal/Kabuto check out the list of all sections and you will see how many star based/celestial based  attacks he has

Kinemon once called Usopp “ a Tengu”

so as we know that ussops associated withthe tengu (which goes down to the names of alot of his attacks being associated with stars/celestial objects and him using plants  for a tengu is a forest being. nad its quite likely that green bulls powers revolve around nature for so far each of the named admirals have nicknames where the color is associated with their element. akainu( red dog) uses magma which is associated with color red. aokjii ( blue pheasant ) uses ice associated with blue, kizaru ( yellowpheasant  )uses light which is associated with  the color yellow . and fujitora ( purple tiger)  has a gravity-based ability which is a force of nature. Gravity is associated with the color purple in Japanese media. Mega Man's gravity suit is purple for example. so it only fits for green bulls power to be associated with the color green

In Japan, green signifies eternal life. Green is the colour of fertility and growth in traditional Japanese culture. As the colour of nature, the Japanese word for green, midori, is also the word for vegetation. In addition, the colour green represents youth and vitality, and the energy of growth. Green can also represent eternity, since evergreen trees never lose their leaves or stop growing.

 and exist in/be related to the natural world like the others. I mean light, magma, ice, and gravity are all things that exist in the world and are involved in making it which fits since they work for the WORLD government. so it fits for green bulls ability to fit that trend while relating to the color green like have a paramecia plant manipulating power (

. or a zoan mythical zoan DF  like the yokai . wikia . com/wiki/Jubokko  or some other plant yokai

yokai . wikia . com/wiki/Category:Plant

to have powers relating plants  

and 

there was a coverpage where akainu shown taking care of a plant so it fits for the new admiral chosent by akainu to have plant abilitys plants can be very dangerous look at popgreens for example  and green bull could utilize popgreens with his plant df               

and ussops currently utilizing plants  and is inspired by  a forest spirit so it fits for ussops final opponent the person who kills him be someone with a plant related ability that would be green bull and this will lead to the sanji vs. green bull 

I mean there had been 2times where sanji specifically came in to rescue ussopp from death/fought someone who did something specifically to ussopp (specifically fought for ussopp bon clay where he took back the goggles from bon clay who had taken it  after beating bon clay up some more and second with jabra where jabra was nearly killed (each got worse damage for usopp) as time went onso it would be fitting if the third time sanji fought a guy for usopps sake was to avenge his death after sanji failed to get to usopp in time to keep usopp from dying   like if sanj iwent to usoppp and  walked in to green bull standing  over usopps corpse or green bull hitting ussop with the finishing blow and killing ussop infront of sanji with sanji getting there too late since sanji has a number motifs of 3  

“Bonus: 2 + 0 + 1 + 6 = 9 / 3 = 3″

porche-chan . tumblr . com/post/138515824861/porche-chan-bonus-2-0-1-6-9-3-3#notes

His name (三時 san-ji? ) can mean “three o'clock” or “three o'clock snack”. This points to a wider theme in Sanji’s character, revolving around the number 3:Sanji is  the third-strongest member of the Straw Hat Pirates.Sanji usually fights the third strongest member of the villain group the Straw Hats face during the story arcs. The exceptions to this rule are in Punk Hazard and Dressrosa as Sanji fought Vergo and Donquixote Doflamingo, opponents far stronger than the ones Zoro fought. It’s fair to note in Zou, Sanji also defeated Sheepshead the strongest Beasts Pirates member left on Zou after Jack left to rescue Doflamingo. sanji is the third strongest of the monster trio. and the third man to join luffys crew and usopp is a member of the weakling trio in fact he is the third strongest of the weakling trio ( the weakest) like how sanji is the third strongest of the monster trio )

and sanji specializes in observational haki and its likely that ussop will specialize in observational haki given thats the haki ussop first awakened and is most fitting for ussop since he’s the sniper

and sanji has a close relationship to ussop

“You know what’s more amazing here than the fact that Sanji seriously kicked his captain’s rubbery ass? He almost hurt Nami by kicking Luffy right toward her direction. Nami was threatened enough to actually scream, not just dodge out of Luffy’s way. Sanji doesn’t apologize to Nami - hell, I bet he didn’t even realize that he almost hurt her. This really shows the heat of the moment, as well as how much Sanji was upset over Luffy’s words to Usopp”. “sunnyul. tumblr . com/post/145669021863/you-know-whats-more-amazing-here-than-the-fact#notes it would fitting  for he ended up going  go against people who have harmed usopp two times before but each time the damage to usopp grown and the motivation for  the fight relating to ussop  increased with the first time with bon clay bon clay had beaten up and stole his goggles and sanji wanted to get them back for ussop   with the second time usopp almost died  and sanji interfered to save ussop so the third time  usopp will die by green bulls hands  and sanji will fight green bull his killer to avenge him. (it doesn’t have to be immediate it can be at end of story) heck ussop could die because he sacrificed himself for sanji and

it fits for sanji to fight green bull since sanjis nickname is black leg which is the name of a disease thats fatal to bull

www . merckvetmanual .com/mvm/generalized_conditions/clostridial_diseases/blackleg.html

(note that that sanji doesnt have to defeat ryokugyu/green bull the first time they fight/confront each other. after all zoro didnt defeat fujitora when they first confronted each other ( though I think zoro will end up fighting adn defeating fujitora)

(also  ryokugyu   in english translations  mean green bull for ryoku means green  so his color motif  is green and it just so happens that zoros color theme is green

and sanji and zoro are rivals so it would be especially fitting for sanji to fight green bull  who has zoros color theme plus zoro already has an admiral who he will end up fighting and beating in the form of fujitora who was based of a zatoichi  a fictional samurai (and his actor))

bulls and cows are cattles so sanji will kill ryokugyu or just defeat ryokugyu pluss cows/bulls are slaughtered and for their meat like people make beef and used for cooking Beef is the culinary name for meat from cattle. Beef can be harvested from bulls, heifers or steers. Its acceptability as a food source varies in different parts of the world. en . wikipedia . org/wiki/Beef and theres another exotic type of dish called bull testicles / people eat the testicles of the bulls and snaji is a chef and has a tendency to make comments about cooking in his fighting so when he faces ryokugyu he could make a comment saying he will turn Ryokugyu into beef or make references to preparing beef in reference to  ryokugyu

so it fits for sanji in a sense to kill green bull since bulls are slaughtered for their meat and sanji can make a comment on that

not to mention that it would fit his epitaph

not to mention that sanji killing an admiral would fullfill what he promised kuma that the one who the marines would fear the most out of them

 would be him since he killed one of their "Greatest Military Powers". and it fits  with how black leg is a disease thats fatal to livestock like bulls ffor black leg sanji to be responsible adn directly kill green bull
