Thinking a normal amount about the anime/manga differences for Koshiro. Thinking about how the manga only covers such a small fraction of Zoro's childhood, while the anime gives us so much more and really makes the characters feel motivated and real.
Thinking a normal amount about how manga Koshiro is only addressed as a sensei and an implied misogynist, while anime Koshiro is a father with a few flaws, his daughter being his first priority and his concerns being almost entirely rooted in her wellbeing. In the anime we get to see that, while his views are somewhat outdated, he just wants to make sure Kuina isn't disappointed. He wants her to succeed but he doesn't want her to get her hopes too high, and he's just voicing it in the only way he's ever known how.
Thinking about Koshiro acknowledging Kuina's outstanding strength, about him acknowledging her significant prowess as a female swordsman when it was too late, when she had already fallen down those stairs and he had already lost his daughter. When Zoro had already lost his best friend.
Thinking about how one of the last things Koshiro said to his only daughter, his only child, was a criticism of something she might never realistically be able to change.
Thinking about how Koshiro's only comment on the incident was that humans are fragile. That humans are breakable, thinking about Koshiro's teachings of swordsmen who cannot cut anything and yet are capable of cutting everything. Swordsmen who are fragile. Swordsmen who can make anything break.
Thinking about Koshiro...

OP languages for the wip game I’m intrigued 👀👀👀
Oh boy! Good choice! My unfinished fic where all the OP has different languages and I actually wrote all the different languages in the different languages (based on the languages my friends speak)
Have some excerpts:
Shank sailed in with fluent but accented Linish and another fast lilting fluid language flowing off his tongue and Luffy all but demanded to learn it. Shanks was happy to oblige and found that Luffy picked up languages fast. Xilanese, Shanks explained, was the most common language in the West Blue. The language was the closest to the infamous poneglyphs of legends in syntax and writing systems.
Luffy takes to Xilanese like a duck to water. It's helpful that most of the Red Haired pirate crew knew the language to a certain degree so Luffy didn't have a shortage of practice partners.
Maomao they call him. Little anchor, Luffy learns eventually and throws a halfhearted pouty fit about it.
Roronoa Zoro didn't learn Linish until he ended up at Koshiro’s dojo. He never had a use for it. Tonichi-go served him well up until that point but Kuina has explained that if he ever wanted to be the World’s Greatest Swordsman he would need to learn the common tongue. Apparently Tonichi-go was called Azumani in Linish, which Zoro thought was stupid and weird. Why call it something different?
"Say it!" He shouts. "给我说你想活下去!Say you want to live!" He demands of her.
活? Live? Robin can't describe the feeling that wells up in that moment. The clenching pain in her chest as a sob builds up, but not of the typical sorrow and agony filled type. Intead, inexplicable joy and a sense of freedom bubbled out with her tears. Years of being alone and being unwanted manifest in that moment of helplessness as she watches her crew, her friends declare war against Enies Lobby. For her.
Then I was going to drag my friends together and make a podfic of it....I still want to do that so
