I watch a lot of anime. I'm not even denying. I've watched more than 800 episodes of one piece in less than 3 months. And I don't even regret it. Fictional or not, there are some things that you still hold on to.
Roronoa Zoro, maybe a fictional crush of mine. Or someone I'd admire to be. Well, please include that points for, 'I totally have a thing for guys with swords ' (#makesselfblush) But the courage and determination that this show possesses is way beyond limit. And Zoro though being a green haired weird character, is still my favourite.
Ever think that even though the characters are fictional, the personality created is so strong? Hats off to the writers who have ever created something to leave a mark in someone else's life.
Well I'm here to talk about Zoro, and how I admire him. Taking responsibility, constantly training. Although he may not be a smart person (that I can handle about myself) He is so adamant and honourable that you just can't ignore his spirit.
I want to be someone like that. I want to be at least remotely something like that. Spirit. That's something, isn't it? Spirit of life. Spirit to prove oneself. Never back down. To be braver than you even think you are. To walk into a battle with a smile. And to hone your talents so sharply that when you come across your opportunity, are ready for a fierce battle.
I'm not going into a battle, FYI. But these characters have a story, they have a life. And I think they could be smarter knowing how to lead a life better than us sometimes.
Below are some of the Zoro quotes I found on internet which inspired me to write all of this-
