The recent vanishing act of a Zoro statue by a Japanese fan has sparked heated discussions among One Piece enthusiasts.
As we reported, in Kumamoto province (Oda's hometown), after erecting the Luffy bronze statue, the decision was made to build replicas of the Straw Hat crew at various locations in the province. After statues of other crew members, on January 22nd, Zoro's statue at Ozu Park in Kumamoto, Oda's hometown, was inaugurated. This moment has been eagerly awaited by many Zoro fans, one of the most beloved characters in the series.
Looking at the overall picture, this statue has a remarkably beautiful portrayal of Zoro's majestic aura, impeccable angles, and an unbeatable physique. The unveiling of Zoro's statue happened without an audience due to the complex Covid situation in Japan. Nevertheless, it was still a grand and meticulously arranged event. This marks the 9th statue for the entire Straw Hat crew in One Piece, with only one member, Jinbe, set to have a statue in July 2022.
However, in a recent development, a photo from a Japanese One Piece fan has excited and amused fans as Zoro seems to have vanished. The image has been cut, edited during the erection of Zoro's statue, using Photoshop to make the swordsman disappear. One Piece fans immediately discussed and praised the clever Japanese fan for 'trolling Zoro,' the character considered a legendary wanderer in Oda's famous manga. Many viewers believe that only Zoro can bring laughs to fans with his extraordinary ability to get lost, even when turned into a statue.
Currently, this image is receiving much acclaim not only in Japan but also in other countries worldwide. Indeed, to welcome the wandering saint of One Piece, fans always know how to create a difference. Even just a lost statue of Zoro is enough to bring us entertaining laughter, isn't it?
