What up space family goes in here from anime uproar, and we got some
big reveals from Oda himself in the latest SPS. He reveals Zoro's entire family
tree, and so we'll be covering everything we know about Zoro's confirmed ancestors and
in what way they're related, and there are potentially some shocking things to discuss,
so make sure stay tuned for this one. If you do enjoy these
one piece videos, you want to keep them coming, channel paraking within and
smash that like but until you see fireworks. If you haven't make this the

in out Without further Ado, let's jump into it spoilers at all. We
find out that that guy we saw in the Wano flashbacks who looks exactly like
Zoro, named Shimotski Ushimaru, the former daimyo of Ringo, was the younger
brother of Zoro's grandmother, Shimotski Furiko. Furthermore, Oda writes that Shimotski Ushimaru
is the descendant of Shimotski Ryuma, the samurai of legend of the Wano country
who Zoro met in thriller Bark. We're told Zoro isn't aware of this,
but it goes to show that many of us were right to assume that Shimotski
Oshimau was related to Zoro, despite the fact that they didn't share a last
name. Anyways, back to the SPS and Shimotski Furiko, Zoro's grandmother ended
up marrying a man called ronoah Pinzoro, a swordsman from Shimotski village. If
I look up the definition of Pinzoro, it means double ones or in other
words, snake eyes when it comes to the game of dice. Now,
snake eyes makes me think of hawk eyes, which may not be a big
coincidence in and of itself, but when we look at the sun the two
of them had. Zoro's dad, Rona Rashi. I gotta say his silhouette
also reminds me of Mihawk, especially if you look at some younger images of
Mihawk where he pulls the hair back from the front, but it can get
pretty wild in the back. Not to mention out the back of Rashi's hair
is so crazy that it sort of gives a vampire cape look, and as
we know Drakulo, Mihawk is a reference to the most famous vampire Dracula.
I'm not saying that Rashi is Mihawk or anything, but as with Zoro being
related to Shimotski through his grandma, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some
ancestral connection between Mehawk and Rora Noah Pinzoro, and thus between Zoro and Mihawk
too. I never thought about this before, but with the SPS and the
Silhouettes, I feel like it could be possible. In the SPS, Oda
says that Zoro isn't aware of this very very strange fate tale and what's more
fated to be than the genes of the Shimotski and the Drakuls combining to create
the future greatest swordsman in the world. So it's just a theory and anime
theory, but something to consider. With these latest reveals, we know Odah
has nothing against hyping up the lineage of his characters, and so it wouldn't
be anything new anyways. Adashi, which means Storm and Japanese, died in
a battle against pirates. His wife was Tara, the daughter of thieving bandits.
Tara means earth in several languages, and she died of illness. Together
they had Zoro, and this explains why we never saw Zoro's parents before,
because they were both dead. Unfortunately, it's notable that Arashi was also associated
with pirates, as Mehawk is, and if we want to get really crazy
with it for fun, Mihawk is old enough to be Zoro's dad at forty
three years old. He would have been twenty two when Zoro was born.
Maybe he didn't end up getting killed in a pirate battle, but dropped his
former identity, made it look like that and became a pirate the dread pirate
Robert's style. Keep in mind Roro Nooa comes from the French pirate Francois Lolo
Noah, and Mihawk definitely seems European to me. So even like I said,
if we don't go with the more far fetched I'm your father Zoro approach,
I feel like we can't dismiss a connection between the two outright. It's
also emphasized in the SPS how the blades crafted by Shimotski Kozaburo, namely Wado
Ichimunji and Enma made it back to a descendant of the Shimotski, namely Zoro,
which seems more fitting or faded to be than anyone could have guessed.
Now, since we finally know how Shimotskiu, Shimado, and Ruma are related
to Zoro, let's take a closer look at them since they can now shed
more light on our favorite swordsman and of course his potential. So Shimotski Ryuma
was a legendary and world famous samurai. He was given the almost two cool
title of sword God and even slate a dragon like Zoro became eventually. Ruma
was a one eyed swordsman, another seemingly fate related detail, and he used
one sword. Notably, Oda has actually said that this Ruma is the same
one as his character from his one shot Monsters manga. In the mangats revealed
that Ryuma looked very similar to Zoro, just with darker hair. In that
manga, the people he saves referred to Ruma as the King, and I
really like this part because a myth about the great swordsman King, who is
supposed to be the strongest in the world, has spread. Ruma hears it
and says he would like to fight him one day, this king, not
knowing that he is the king himself. He's already the strongest in the world,
so clearly being associated to this man hypes up Zoro's potential. When Zoro
fat ruma Zombie, Brooke mentioned that the Samurai Zombie is moving right now with
his shadow, but when he was alive, he must have been a powerful
fighter, he says, and I quote it just may be that those two
meeting Zoro Ru are the same kinds of swordsmen with the same kind of power
and quote looking back. That's high praise for Zoro and the clue for the
eventual reveal that they are related. Down the line, after an intense battles
or obeats the Samurai Zombie but knows that he was much more impressive in his
prime and wished he could have seen the samurai and his prime. He even
decides not to count the victory's saying let's pretend this fight never happened. Then
there's Ushimaru, the descendant of Ryuma and the brother of Zoro's grandma aka Zoro's
great uncle. Once again, we have a character who looks like Zoro,
except this one has blue hair rather than black or green. Eventually, Ushimaru
two has one eye covered by bandages in the manga, so this seems to
be an ongoing similarity between them. He is the man who told a young
Yamato to call him so and so. He's been described as a master of
the sword who always traveled with his fox companion. He was eventually imprisoned by
Kaido. Like Zoro, he is stoic in the face of adversity, and
Yamato was impressed by how he did not seem to get hungry. He could
easily cut through chains by an fusing hockey into a sword with two swords,
one in each hand, we see him easily cut through a giant boulder.
He and the two other samurai decide they'd rather fight to the end rather than
waste away in prison. We don't actually see what happens to them, but
the implication is that they lost to Kairo and his forces and lost their lives.
Finally, there's the third Zoro, who wields not one like Ruma,
not two like Ushimaru, but three sword, which seems fitting since he's the
third and related to Mihawk or not Pinzoro. Zoro's grandfather was also a swordsman,
so Zoro has swordsmen on both sides of the family coming together to birth
the eventual strongest swordsman in the world. They also say the third time is
the charm, so Zoro definitely has a lot going for him in terms of
narrative and fate. As Oda pointed out, Zoro's family tree also shows how
Shimotski Kozaburo had Koshiro Zoro sense with the girl from the village. Then Koshiro,
with a mysteriously undescribed and unnamed woman, had Quina, Zoro's childhood friend
and rival who died in an accident that we got to know very well.
It's not shown where these two branches of the Shimotski connect, but it's implied
that they are all related. Thinking back on the beginning of the series,
it's crazy that we knew none of this when we were first exposed to Zoro's
backstory, or that when Zoro talked to Kozaburo that he was related to him
and Zoro was arguably like a grandson to him. That's one of my favorite
things. As we learn more about the backstories, how they all seem to
shed new light on everything we know so far and painted in a new light.
But now as we wait for more greatness from Oda chanl the greatest swordsman
within and smashed that light. But if you enjoyed this video until you see

Do you like that Zoro has such legendary relatives and do you think it's
possible that he shares one with even Mehawk, making one side of his swordsman
family just as impressive as the other. And if you want to learn more
