"Not even Enma"— One Piece fans shoot down Zoro's Conqueror's Haki debate following confusing Egghead Vivre Cards

Modified Jul 05, 2024 03:00 GMT

One Piece has recently released the Egghead Vivre Cards, which usually reveal interesting details in the characters' bios, and, this time around, showed some confusing details regarding Zoro's Conqueror's Haki. Despite using Conqueror's Haki in Onigashima over a year ago in the manga, Zoro's Vivre Card doesn't show it, although it doesn't follow a theory by the fandom, either.

It was long theorized in the One Piece community that Zoro's Conqueror's Haki was a direct result of Enma's influence during the events at Onigashima, although the Egghead Vivre Cards disproves that notion. Therefore, it seems that Zoro is in a very peculiar spot as far as Conqueror's Haki goes in the series.

The Egghead Vivre Cards recently came out, which usually reveal some character bios and small details that author Eiichiro Oda has not addressed in his series. In that regard, there was some confusing information regarding Zoro's Conqueror's Haki, which is described as a sudden display at Onigashima during the Wano arc and asking whether he has the potential to have it.

This was shocking to many fans since they always assumed that Zoro already had Conqueror's Haki in his arsenal after what he did at Onigashima. However, this recent information disproves that while also revealing that the Enma theory, the one about how Zoro's sword was the one with Conqueror's Haki, wasn't true when the image in the Vivre Card shows Kitetsu III.

Therefore, it seems that Zoro doesn't have Conqueror's Haki and the story is yet to address it in the pages of the manga. However, after the events of Onigashima, it seems likely that he will have it in the near future, or at least that seems to be the case if the story continues to push in that direction.

Considering that Zoro is one of the most popular characters in the entirety of One Piece, it wasn't surprising to see a lot of people shocked by this information in the Egghead Vivre Cards. Zoro is, by and large, viewed as the strongest member of the Straw Hats, after his captain Luffy, so it was quite surprising to people that he still doesn't have Conqueror's Haki.

It is also worth pointing out that this ability is perceived as the peak of Haki use, so it's not something that every character can use with ease. This isn't a slight toward Zoro but rather a reminder that perhaps he still has some way to go to reach that plateau, which would fit with his goal of becoming the world's greatest swordsman.

"The funniest part is he doesn't even need conqueror's and he's still stronger than sanji💀😭 Btw i think oda's saving the official reveal for elbaph," someone said.

"Nah there’s no way the controversy with vivre cards was over this… I know Zoro haters reading comprehension was hopeless but misunderstanding pictures too is a new low. Look at the sword idiot LOOK AT THE SWORD!" another person said.

"This literally means nothing. Yamato's VC doesn't have her listed as a Conqueror despite her having it," another person said.

Some fans have also mentioned that the Egghead Vivre Cards are not the most reliable source and Zoro's Conqueror's Haki could still be a reality. It has been stated time and time again that author Eiichiro Oda isn't the one writing the Vivre Cards, so perhaps he could be seen using this version of Haki in the One Piece manga.

"The card is not canon, and its a mistake at the same time," someone said.

"Oda doesn't make these," another person said.

It is fair to say that One Piece fans are taking this revelation with a grain of salt, but is also understandable when considering how the Egghead Vivre Cards contrast with what was shown in the manga, which, at the end of the day, is the canon material.
