There's something so inherently romantic about Zoro following Luffy right after their discussion with Nojiko. Although he wasn't so keen the first time around (the Garp thing), this time, he makes sure to go after his captain immediately.
Zoro right after the "I need you" and him making a vow to Luffy, is almost a completely different person. He accompanies Luffy during a vulnerable moment like reflex, like it's the most natural thing for him to do. It's adorable that he went to sit with Luffy and then attempted to leave, because I feel like he surprised himself as well. That said, I love love love that Luffy shows vulnerability with his swordsman the most. He knew he could confide in Zoro, and that he would understand him, but also won't be afraid to give him a piece of his mind. I just know he feels secure with Zoro.
Yeah the new ED definitely reminds all of us of something, doesn't it? Very kind and sweet of them to give us signs that this is it. This is the beginning of an end, everyone.
(Here's the real full ED btw - it's by the very same artist who sings this nostalgic song)
😭😭😭 LITERALLY IM JUST TRYING TO ENJOY A COOL ACTION SCENE 😭😭😭 lads have you ever been emotionally ruined by your favorite character finding a reason to live after having spent the last 16 years only keeping himself alive to finish off a protracted suicide mission. im so glad law's life gets so much better after wano and he definitely isn't about to get his shit traumatically rocked AGAIN 🙂
[ID: Two colored illustrations of Bartholomew Kuma and Jewelry Bonney from Shōnen Jump series One Piece by Eiichirō Oda. Bonney's appearance is based loosely on SBS Volume 64 when the author drew her and the other supernovas as children. The upper righthand drawing is in portrait form and depicts Kuma holding Bonney steady on his shoulder as she waves to passersby. The larger lowermost picture is of them playing Jenga; Bonney is popping out from under the fallen Jenga tower and is visibly upset at Kuma, implying that he had knocked it over and accidentally buried her.
