I feel like a lot of people really want/wanted Kuina to be Tashigi because they can't accept that all the potential she had was ruined because she had a tragic accident.

What makes Zoro's backstory sad isn't so much the scale of destruction, like on Robin's, but rather how down to Earth it is, as Kuina tripped, fell and probably broke her neck in a bad landing. It's that simple, and it serves as a good contrast to the larger scale backstories.

Today I was showing my nephew the second episode of OPLA with Usopp, and we've got to the scene when Zoro was trying to get out of the well, while thinking about Kuina. My nephew complained about how in anime Kuina died in an accident which he found lame, and I started to think about it deeper.

I came to conclusion that Kuina's fairly normal death via tripping accident is meant to be doubly tragic. She didn't just die young in a stupid, easily avoidable accident, while having such grand plans as becoming the greatest warrior ever; she didn't even die in combat. All of this happens some time after Zoro and Kuina promised each other that one of them will become The Greatest Swordsman in the World, so Kuina's ordinary accident feels like a cruel twist of fate. She didn't even die a warrior's death; she just tripped.

Mmmmm... (and other noises of approval)

Although my main OTP is Zoro/Hiyori (idk why it just is), I think that something great about One Piece is how there are few ships that almost everyone absolutely despises that are regularly talked about, which to me just shows how well each character gets along with each other, enough to encourage a healthy dose of enjoying a large range of ships.

Most of the Strawhats (minus chopper because he's too baby) can be shipped together for genuine reasons that many people can get on board with, and if people don't like that so much they can ship them with any of the other people they interact with in specific arcs.

It's really a testament as to how Oda's writing of the main crew makes them so fun to read, draw and write interacting with each other.

The beautiful thing about One Piece is that I genuinely enjoy a lot of the ships, even if I don’t necessarily ship them.

I will see a ship post with art or just funny moments of two characters I never even considered and be like;

"Yes they are so in love",

& then go back to my citrus trio and frobin brainrot.

no sentence fills me with utter loathing so much as "i asked chatgpt"

After we learnt that there were ~25 people who left Wano with Kozaburo, but that only ~10 people stayed in Shimotsuki Village, I always imagined that Tashigi might be decended from the remaining 15.

I still like to think that Shimotsuki Kozaburo, Shimotsuki Furiko and someone else (who didn't stay in Shimotsuki Village) may have been cousins, later having children and grandchildren who would end up being third cousins- the grandchildren being Zoro, Kuina and Tashigi.

I feel like it would make sense for Tashigi to look similar to Kuina for this reason. We still don't know if Tashigi has a last name, and it is possible that she could be a Shimotsuki considering her connection to swordsmanship.

It’s been almost 20 years and i’m still wondering why Tashigi and Kuina are so look alike and this fact is remarked every time. I think most of us agree that they’re not the same person, but there must be a reason why they look so similar and at this point in the story it continues to be highlighted every time she and Zoro meet. I mean...what's the point? Is it supposed to have any relevance? Or is it just used as another gag?
