What up space family goes in here
from anime uproar, and we got some

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:08,320
big reveals from Oda himself in the
latest SPS. He reveals Zoro's entire family

3
00:00:08,359 --> 00:00:12,199
tree, and so we'll be covering
everything we know about Zoro's confirmed ancestors and

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,679
in what way they're related, and
there are potentially some shocking things to discuss,

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,039
so make sure stay tuned for this
one. If you do enjoy these

10
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:33,880
in out Without further Ado, let's
jump into it spoilers at all. We

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,920
find out that that guy we saw
in the Wano flashbacks who looks exactly like

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Zoro, named Shimotski Ushimaru, the
former daimyo of Ringo, was the younger

13
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:49,640
brother of Zoro's grandmother, Shimotski Furiko. Furthermore, Oda writes that Shimotski Ushimaru

14
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:55,000
is the descendant of Shimotski Ryuma,
the samurai of legend of the Wano country

15
00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:59,119
who Zoro met in thriller Bark.
We're told Zoro isn't aware of this,

16
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,119
but it goes to show that many
of us were right to assume that Shimotski

17
00:01:03,119 --> 00:01:07,079
Oshimau was related to Zoro, despite
the fact that they didn't share a last

18
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:11,599
name. Anyways, back to the
SPS and Shimotski Furiko, Zoro's grandmother ended

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,760
up marrying a man called ronoah Pinzoro, a swordsman from Shimotski village. If

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,120
I look up the definition of Pinzoro, it means double ones or in other

21
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:23,359
words, snake eyes when it comes
to the game of dice. Now,

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,319
snake eyes makes me think of hawk
eyes, which may not be a big

23
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,400
coincidence in and of itself, but
when we look at the sun the two

24
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:34,920
of them had. Zoro's dad,
Rona Rashi. I gotta say his silhouette

25
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,040
also reminds me of Mihawk, especially
if you look at some younger images of

26
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,280
Mihawk where he pulls the hair back
from the front, but it can get

27
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,519
pretty wild in the back. Not
to mention out the back of Rashi's hair

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,640
is so crazy that it sort of
gives a vampire cape look, and as

29
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,159
we know Drakulo, Mihawk is a
reference to the most famous vampire Dracula.

30
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,239
I'm not saying that Rashi is Mihawk
or anything, but as with Zoro being

31
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,560
related to Shimotski through his grandma,
I wouldn't be surprised if there is some

32
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:07,760
ancestral connection between Mehawk and Rora Noah
Pinzoro, and thus between Zoro and Mihawk

33
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:10,120
too. I never thought about this
before, but with the SPS and the

34
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:14,680
Silhouettes, I feel like it could
be possible. In the SPS, Oda

35
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:17,639
says that Zoro isn't aware of this
very very strange fate tale and what's more

36
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,479
fated to be than the genes of
the Shimotski and the Drakuls combining to create

37
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,000
the future greatest swordsman in the world. So it's just a theory and anime

38
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:30,120
theory, but something to consider.
With these latest reveals, we know Odah

39
00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:35,080
has nothing against hyping up the lineage
of his characters, and so it wouldn't

40
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,159
be anything new anyways. Adashi,
which means Storm and Japanese, died in

41
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:43,719
a battle against pirates. His wife
was Tara, the daughter of thieving bandits.

42
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,840
Tara means earth in several languages,
and she died of illness. Together

43
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,000
they had Zoro, and this explains
why we never saw Zoro's parents before,

44
00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:55,639
because they were both dead. Unfortunately, it's notable that Arashi was also associated

45
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,000
with pirates, as Mehawk is,
and if we want to get really crazy

46
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,919
with it for fun, Mihawk is
old enough to be Zoro's dad at forty

47
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,479
three years old. He would have
been twenty two when Zoro was born.

48
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,039
Maybe he didn't end up getting killed
in a pirate battle, but dropped his

49
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,039
former identity, made it look like
that and became a pirate the dread pirate

50
00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:21,639
Robert's style. Keep in mind Roro
Nooa comes from the French pirate Francois Lolo

51
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,520
Noah, and Mihawk definitely seems European
to me. So even like I said,

52
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,759
if we don't go with the more
far fetched I'm your father Zoro approach,

53
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:32,919
I feel like we can't dismiss a
connection between the two outright. It's

54
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,560
also emphasized in the SPS how the
blades crafted by Shimotski Kozaburo, namely Wado

55
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:44,919
Ichimunji and Enma made it back to
a descendant of the Shimotski, namely Zoro,

56
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,520
which seems more fitting or faded to
be than anyone could have guessed.

57
00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:52,240
Now, since we finally know how
Shimotskiu, Shimado, and Ruma are related

58
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,680
to Zoro, let's take a closer
look at them since they can now shed

59
00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:59,960
more light on our favorite swordsman and
of course his potential. So Shimotski Ryuma

60
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:03,199
was a legendary and world famous samurai. He was given the almost two cool

61
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:09,360
title of sword God and even slate
a dragon like Zoro became eventually. Ruma

62
00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:13,840
was a one eyed swordsman, another
seemingly fate related detail, and he used

63
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:17,000
one sword. Notably, Oda has
actually said that this Ruma is the same

64
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,879
one as his character from his one
shot Monsters manga. In the mangats revealed

65
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:25,800
that Ryuma looked very similar to Zoro, just with darker hair. In that

66
00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:29,439
manga, the people he saves referred
to Ruma as the King, and I

67
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,920
really like this part because a myth
about the great swordsman King, who is

68
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:35,279
supposed to be the strongest in the
world, has spread. Ruma hears it

69
00:04:35,319 --> 00:04:39,120
and says he would like to fight
him one day, this king, not

70
00:04:39,399 --> 00:04:43,240
knowing that he is the king himself. He's already the strongest in the world,

71
00:04:43,399 --> 00:04:46,800
so clearly being associated to this man
hypes up Zoro's potential. When Zoro

72
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,959
fat ruma Zombie, Brooke mentioned that
the Samurai Zombie is moving right now with

73
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,519
his shadow, but when he was
alive, he must have been a powerful

74
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,040
fighter, he says, and I
quote it just may be that those two

75
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:02,319
meeting Zoro Ru are the same kinds
of swordsmen with the same kind of power

76
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:06,480
and quote looking back. That's high
praise for Zoro and the clue for the

77
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,680
eventual reveal that they are related.
Down the line, after an intense battles

78
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,959
or obeats the Samurai Zombie but knows
that he was much more impressive in his

79
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:18,120
prime and wished he could have seen
the samurai and his prime. He even

80
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,240
decides not to count the victory's saying
let's pretend this fight never happened. Then

81
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:28,839
there's Ushimaru, the descendant of Ryuma
and the brother of Zoro's grandma aka Zoro's

82
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,199
great uncle. Once again, we
have a character who looks like Zoro,

83
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:36,240
except this one has blue hair rather
than black or green. Eventually, Ushimaru

84
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:40,839
two has one eye covered by bandages
in the manga, so this seems to

85
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:44,279
be an ongoing similarity between them.
He is the man who told a young

86
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,720
Yamato to call him so and so. He's been described as a master of

87
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:50,879
the sword who always traveled with his
fox companion. He was eventually imprisoned by

88
00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:54,920
Kaido. Like Zoro, he is
stoic in the face of adversity, and

89
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,480
Yamato was impressed by how he did
not seem to get hungry. He could

90
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,759
easily cut through chains by an fusing
hockey into a sword with two swords,

91
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:05,120
one in each hand, we see
him easily cut through a giant boulder.

92
00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:10,839
He and the two other samurai decide
they'd rather fight to the end rather than

93
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:14,120
waste away in prison. We don't
actually see what happens to them, but

94
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,639
the implication is that they lost to
Kairo and his forces and lost their lives.

95
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,240
Finally, there's the third Zoro,
who wields not one like Ruma,

96
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,680
not two like Ushimaru, but three
sword, which seems fitting since he's the

97
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,839
third and related to Mihawk or not
Pinzoro. Zoro's grandfather was also a swordsman,

98
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:36,000
so Zoro has swordsmen on both sides
of the family coming together to birth

99
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:41,160
the eventual strongest swordsman in the world. They also say the third time is

100
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,519
the charm, so Zoro definitely has
a lot going for him in terms of

101
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,920
narrative and fate. As Oda pointed
out, Zoro's family tree also shows how

102
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:55,839
Shimotski Kozaburo had Koshiro Zoro sense with
the girl from the village. Then Koshiro,

103
00:06:55,959 --> 00:07:00,120
with a mysteriously undescribed and unnamed woman, had Quina, Zoro's childhood friend

104
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,120
and rival who died in an accident
that we got to know very well.

105
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:08,680
It's not shown where these two branches
of the Shimotski connect, but it's implied

106
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,519
that they are all related. Thinking
back on the beginning of the series,

107
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,199
it's crazy that we knew none of
this when we were first exposed to Zoro's

108
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:18,560
backstory, or that when Zoro talked
to Kozaburo that he was related to him

109
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,639
and Zoro was arguably like a grandson
to him. That's one of my favorite

110
00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:25,279
things. As we learn more about
the backstories, how they all seem to

111
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:29,000
shed new light on everything we know
so far and painted in a new light.

112
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,480
But now as we wait for more
greatness from Oda chanl the greatest swordsman

113
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,639
within and smashed that light. But
if you enjoyed this video until you see

117
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:48,040
Do you like that Zoro has such
legendary relatives and do you think it's

118
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:53,240
possible that he shares one with even
Mehawk, making one side of his swordsman

119
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,879
family just as impressive as the other. And if you want to learn more
