Summary

Zoro's unique fighting style, including wielding a third blade with his teeth, makes him far more capable in a fight than most would assume.

The fights Zoro will have in One Piece season 2, such as his battles against Luffy, Crocodile, Mr. 1, and Ohm, will surpass his season 1 duel with Mihawk in terms of quality.

As the initial member to join Luffy's crew, Zoro quickly proved his worth by effortlessly dispatching a group of bounty hunters, thereby earning his rightful place. With the confirmation of One Piece season 2 on Netflix, fervent Zoro fans can eagerly anticipate the adaptation of countless remarkable showdowns. While Zoro's live-action duel with Mihawk was memorable, the pinnacle of his battles is yet to come. Brace yourselves for the ten sensational clashes that await in One Piece's second season, surpassing even the greatness of his season 1 encounter with Mihawk.

Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers for some of Zoro's fights in One Piece.

10 Zoro vs. Luffy

In their journey as shipmates and friends, Zoro and Luffy have engaged in two bouts with each other as of now. Although their initial clash arose from a misunderstanding, it was a treat for the eyes to witness the impeccably animated duel. The second confrontation, once again fueled by miscommunication, unfolded when a possessed Zoro attempted to take Luffy's life. Should these fights be featured in One Piece season 2, it would be intriguing to observe the skill of visual effects artists as they strive to replicate the battles faithfully. Moreover, it would be a delight to see the actors capturing the emotional intensity of each encounter from the original anime.

9 Zoro vs. Crocodile

8 Zoro vs. Mr. 1

Also referred to as Mr. 0, Crocodile stands as one of the earliest instances of a truly formidable adversary in the world of One Piece. Not only is this cigar-smoking criminal relentlessly ruthless in his pursuits, but he also holds the distinction of being the mastermind behind the infamous criminal organization known as Baroque Works. During the intense Arabasta Saga, Crocodile emerged as one of the first antagonists to overpower Luffy in combat, effortlessly displaying his superior skills. A clash between Zoro and Crocodile would surpass even his legendary duel with Mihawk, as Crocodile's sheer strength knows no boundaries and he disregards conventional codes of conduct, unlike many of the Straw Hat crew members. Furthermore, the anime and manga portray Crocodile and Mihawk as cohorts, thus adding an exciting element to witness Crocodile's reaction to Zoro triumphing over Mihawk in a fierce confrontation.

Daz Bones, also known as Mr. 1, is a faithful member of Baroque Works who poses a significant challenge to the Straw Hats. This towering figure is renowned for his stern demeanor and unwavering discipline. What sets him apart, however, are the razor-sharp steel blades protruding from his forearms, which he wields with exceptional skill. Yet, it is the impact of the encounter with Daz Bones that truly distinguishes it. This formidable battle not only sharpened Zoro's swordsmanship but also helped him grow as an individual.

7 Zoro vs. Ohm

During this battle, Zoro has a revelation regarding various objects and realizes his ability to effortlessly slice through anything, even solid steel. After overpowering Mr. 1 with a carefully measured strike that doesn't end his life, Mr. 1 acknowledges his defeat, exhibiting a sense of honor. Witnessing this intense combat unfold in real life would be truly awe-inspiring, as it would mark a pivotal moment of self-discovery for Zoro. This enthralling encounter not only showcases his growth as a formidable swordsman but also exemplifies his evolution as an individual, making it surpass even his legendary duel with Mihawk.

Throughout the Skypiea arc, audiences were captivated by the introduction of new characters, factions, and a plethora of extraordinary powers and abilities. These additions not only raised the stakes for the series, but also rewarded dedicated fans who had invested time in witnessing beloved characters evolve and soar to new heights. In the midst of this thrilling arc, Zoro found himself engaged in a fierce battle against Ohm, a formidable angel and esteemed member of God's Army. Despite his intimidating presence, Ohm stood out due to his willingness to openly discuss his unique philosophy on humanity and their propensity for conflict.

6 Zoro vs. Monet

When Zoro encounters Ohm, it becomes evident that Ohm not only possesses a significant height and reach advantage in their battle, but he also possesses the ability to fly. Despite these disadvantageous circumstances, Zoro adeptly harnesses these challenges to focus his determination and draw upon all of his previous experiences. As a result, Zoro unveils his remarkable 108-Pound Phoenix technique—a formidable long-range projectile—that ultimately triumphs over the evasive Ohm. This epic confrontation surpasses even Zoro's legendary duel with Mihawk, capturing fans' attention with its breathtaking display and showcasing Zoro's exceptional ability to innovate and develop new techniques in real-time.

Despite being a comparatively easier brawl for Zoro, his confrontation with Monet surpasses his clash with Mihawk due to its potential for unveiling the untapped depths of the famed swordsman. Zoro's honorable demeanor, reminiscent of Bushido, the way of the samurai, constitutes a remarkable facet of his character that garners admiration. Consequently, he maintains a steadfast principle of refraining from engaging in combat with women, unless he is relentlessly compelled to do so. Monet, being well-aware of this vulnerability, attempts to exploit it during their encounter. Nevertheless, when she endeavors to eliminate Zoro's fellow Straw Hats, he eventually severs the harpy in half, revealing the ease with which he could dispatch her if he so desired.

5 Zoro vs. Kaku

Zoro's battle against Kaku remains ingrained in the memories of audiences, as it showcased one of his most exceptional combat techniques - the Demon Aura Nine Sword Style: Ashura. As the name suggests, this skill empowers the swordsman to sprout four additional arms and two supplementary heads, thereby equipping him with a grand total of nine swords. Zoro honed this technique during his period of seclusion, and it was during his intense duel with CP9 agent Kaku that fans were fortunate enough to witness its awe-inspiring prowess. The anticipation of how the team responsible for the One Piece live-action series would recreate this technique for viewers adds an extra layer of excitement, making this confrontation even more captivating than his previous clash with Mihawk.

4 Zoro vs. Ryuma

One thing that is often overlooked in One Piece is its unique portrayal of zombies. In the anime, there is Ryuma, a samurai who has become a zombie. He was originally a living character in Oda's pre-One Piece series, Monsters. Ryuma is known for his discipline and skill with a sword, making his potential fight against Zoro even more thrilling than his previous duel with Mihawk. It would be especially interesting to see how the show incorporates Zoro obtaining Shisui, one of his iconic blades, from the defeated zombie.

3 Zoro vs. Kaido & Big Mom

Zoro's battle against Kaido & Big Mom is undeniably one of his most legendary feats. Not only did this epic clash cement Zoro's status as the greatest swordsman in the One Piece universe, but it also showcased his unparalleled strength and resilience. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the tenacious swordsman fearlessly confronted both formidable foes and managed to put up a remarkable fight. However, what truly sets this showdown apart from Zoro's duel with Mihawk is his remarkable ability to effortlessly withstand the devilish duo's most powerful onslaught.

2 Zoro vs. Pica

Zoro's battle against the mighty behemoth known as Pica surpasses his previous duel with Mihawk in terms of sheer absurdity. While Zoro is usually depicted as a stoic and serious warrior, he reveals his playful (bordering on petty) side by mocking Pica's voice and laughter. However, Pica's arrogance often leads him to underestimate his opponents, causing him to hold back during his battles with Zoro, much to the swordsman's annoyance. Despite their interesting history, Zoro and Pica engage in multiple clashes throughout One Piece, providing the creators of the live-action series with an abundance of material if they were to include him in the upcoming second season.

1 Zoro vs. Killer

Killer, known for his speed and accuracy, proves to be one of the most formidable adversaries Zoro has faced in the world of One Piece. Despite Killer's confession that he could have easily eliminated Zoro with his Punishers, instead of scythes, Zoro remains unwavering in his determination to prevail. The intense battle between Killer and Zoro is visually captivating and impeccably executed, serving as a testament to Zoro's remarkable progression as a swordsman throughout the series. While the encounter may have been relatively brief, it undeniably showcases Zoro's exceptional skills, solidifying his reputation as one of the strongest swordsmen in the One Piece universe.
