zoro in opla: I guess I’ll join you…………….*goes thru a near death experience where he wakes up to luffy saying he needs him* you are my captain & I am your loyal and devoted first mate I would die for you I will never disappoint you again I will follow you like a weary traveler to a flame I —

zoro in the anime/manga, within a week: ha ha ha you’re the son of the devil! sure I’ll float around in a dinghy with you aimlessly for weeks! yes I’ll carry a cage that took five men to move while bleeding out from a massive wound for you! sure I’d die for you! of course we’ll follow our dreams together!

I know the animation industry has been going through a serious rough patch in the past 10 years. I just hope the medium and the artists making it can get the respect they deserve someday soon. So I wanna take a moment to spread a reminder of the powerful emotional scenes we've gotten from animation in the past 10 years.

maybe it’s not so much zoro’s willingness to do anything for luffy that makes his devotion so special, but his happiness to be doing it.

when luffy gives him an order, it’s often accompanied by a smile on zoro’s face and a tinge of joy as he replies. when luffy goes somewhere, he follows with a grin and a content look on his face.

for zoro who is a quieter character, more serious in tone, his instant happiness to answer luffy’s orders and to do something for him is so gratifying. and i think it really emphasises his devotion that helping luffy, that being by his side, that being able to do something for him, etc, is what brings him absolute guaranteed happiness through his cool character trope.

zoro doesn’t feel reluctance following luffy’s lead, he relaxes. for years, as a teenager, he’s had to make executive decisions alone and there’s something in me that feels like he’s happy to give that up. to let luffy decide his course in the comfort of the people he loves. he’s a follower by preference, and he’s found his leader.

and of course he thinks critically, his devotion and loyalty is not blind. zoro is very importantly on an equal footing to luffy, unafraid of combatting any ideas or paths he doesn’t agree with. and that makes his contentment even more special because you know it is wholeheartedly transparent. he would say otherwise, and so that grin on his face is plainly, completely true.

his devotion is so special because it is his happiness too.

this devotion of mine runs deeper than the ocean
