The Borderline canon ships of mine after Tekken 8:

The fun idea ships of mine after Tekken 8:

The never gonna happen but goddammit I want Kuma to be happy ship:

Xiaoyu is one of the major reasons for Jin to live.

After more than 10+ years of shipping, that one ship I've been rooting for in a certain fighting game series has finally gotten more canon content AND IN THE MAIN STORYLINE (not just the character endings).

I suddenly remembered this old post i made and damn i was right

This part never fails to make me smile.

I've said this before but I love how Tashigi's existence means something to both Zoro and Nami in similar but different ways, exactly like their personalities. How Nami inmediately adores her and how uneasy Zoro always is around her. But we all know Zoro likes her too, he'd just cut himself open before admitting that out loud.

⚠️ One Piece manga/live action spoilers ⚠️

The new fans joining from the OPLA that ship Zoro with Nami, Luffy, and Sanji are gonna be SO PISSED when Tashigi joins the show!

I won't even be surprised if some start treating her the way MCU fangirls treat Sharon Carter/Emily Vancamp when it comes to Steve! They might be on that "I ship Zoro with *insert character here*/myself, so l'm gonna constantly hate on Tashigi and her actress because they get in the way of that!" bullshit!

If that happens, istg I will become a Tashigi defender! She already gets enough hate on Twitter from the misogynistic Zoro stans, ZoLu shippers, and ZoSan shippers, these OPLA-ZoNami shippers and self-insert fangirls will only make it worse 😭

I used to ship Zoro x Tashigi a long time ago before I stopped keeping up with One Piece and I will go back to shipping them SO FAST if Tashigi is in the next season of OPLA!

I’m a sucker for that “You look a lot like someone I loved in the past and that was what made me interested in you at first, but now I’m starting to see all the ways you’re different from them and that makes me love you even more” trope!

Plus, shipping a hated couple out of spite is fun af! I did it with SteveSharon in 2018 before I learned about how beautiful their relationship was in the comics (616-SteveSharon supremacy ✌🏾😁) and I’ll do it again with Zoro x Tashigi if I feel the need to!

If that happens I am gonna find every Tashigi Hater's home adress and kick their ⚽s

Orihime is one of the FIRST three people Rukia worries about something bad happening to in her greatest fear 🥺 here’s how Rukihime can still win!!!

I'm late, but August 22nd is the day BLEACH finished its serialization.

I finally completed this work today as a commemorative painting, so I'll post it here as well.

I wish the Kurosaki family and the Abarai family continued happiness.

ZOTASH

We ZOTASH carriers are not alone.

I was shocked to see this video from the OFFICIAL ONE PIECE YOUTOBE account, the official content creators of One Piece Youtobe, analyzing Zoro's ships:

First his impact on their relationship in Punk Hazard.

Then, to further elaborate on their relationship he starts talking about their first meeting relationship of Tashigi's resemblance to Kuina, then their fight, enemies and rivalry as a pirate and marine.

Then, when Tashigi is fighting with Monet and Monet hurts her, Zoro gets angry and decides to attack Monet.

What I liked the most is that they say that after they finish with Monet, they say that their fight is a flirting fight. Zoro and her flirting with each other.

They also say that Zoro giving her the nickname "Captain Fours Eyes", is a nickname straight to the heart.

Then the moment that Zoro he was worried about her health is Romantic how embarrassed they both are.

Then the meeting with his subordinates and how amazing they look together. But anyway, what an amazing and embarrassing relationship for Tashigi.

What I also liked is that they state this, "Zoro seems to be a woman-conscious person after all." Zoro is attracted to women, a point that many One Piece fans don't want to accept.

------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday another video was released from the same Official One Piece channel that they are playing a game, and just another moment of Zotash sending:

Zoro meets Tashigi and has to fight her, HAHAHAHA the producers are laughing their asses off because Zoro runs away from the fight stating, "Shit, she's the only person I can't fight". They admit, Tashigi is the only woman that ZOro doesn't dare to cut ❤💚❤

Minute 20:25 to 20:59

I LOVE ZOTASH❤💚❤

(for the moment one of the best information I've gotten)

ZORO'S FEELINGS FOR TASHIGI

(long, very long writing, so sit right down when reading it)

In the first instance we must dive in and go back to their first meeting in Loguetown. Where Zoro felt the need to run away from Tashigi, since, she triggered the memories of his best friend: Kuina.

Memories that made him question if he was really ever in love with Kuina.

To clarify this, in the Loguetown Novel, Zoro is tormented because Tashigi's mere resemblance to Kuina sparked feelings in him that he had never felt for anyone else:

"Struck by his resemblance to Kuina as by a punch in the face, Zoro , the feared pirate hunter, had panicked. Kuina had played an important role in his life, and her resemblance aroused in him an indescribable feeling. Because of this, the negligent style sleeper that Zoro was could sometimes show feelings. Did this mean that he was in love with Kuina? Certainly not, he was still too young at that time."

Does this mean that Zoro could have fallen in love with Tashigi in this first meeting? Yes and no.

Possibly, Zoro was always focused on becoming strong and being able to keep his promise to Kuina, i.e. he never had time to sit down and think about his feelings. Already in the Loguetown Novel, it is emphasized that Zoro never was and felt feelings of love for Kuina, she is and will be "His promise and goal to achieve".

As to whether there is the moment when a person meets someone and knows that person will be important to him, or simply in the case of "the soft side" that awakened Tashigi in Zoro at their first meeting, whether it revokes a large sentimental attachment. In the case of the actor who plays Roronoa Zoro in the Live Action: Mackenyu. He in an interview talks about his relationship with his wife and states the following:

"I definitely won the lottery in life. I've never met anyone as beautiful and cute as her in my life. I say that every day. The first time I met her, I knew I immediately wanted to marry her."

In his first meeting with his wife Mackenyu already knew that she would be his wife, real feelings from the first meeting do exist and this is a great example.

Something that Tatsuya and Oda emphasized very well when writing Zoro's feelings for Tashigi from their first meeting.

To conclude this first meeting, it must be considered that Zoro at the moment he met Tashigi for the first time, he felt something so strong that he had never felt for anyone else. Feelings that made Zoro himself question if he had ever been in love with Kuina.

Where, the magnitude of that feeling was so strong that he linked them with feelings of love.

But what happens next? We Zotash shippers know that the conflict of enemies to lovers arises in their fight in Loguetown (romantic fight in my heart, clashes of swords, challenging and provocative looks, under the singing of the rain) in this duel both Zoro and Tashigi were baffled by the implication that they were both unaware of each other's identity. Tashigi did not know that the man he cared about and helped pick out his Sandai sword was a pirate. And, Zoro didn't know that the woman who looked so much like his best friend and was an expert swordswoman was a Marine.

Zoro's thoughts and his unintended encounter that Tashigi was a Marine haunted him during their duel:

Something that for Zoro himself the interest for her was great, that she is part of the navy is a surprise that should not be taken well at all, well the same author of the Loguetown Novel clarifies it with better words:

"Considering that he was a pirate and she was a Woman Marine…. Life was definitely full of surprises."

But it wasn't just Zoro who was stunned by his Marine/Pirate encounter. For Tashigi it was also hard to take in, although she in their duel was always questioning how someone like Zoro could have such a fair and righteous mastery with his swords:

"Impressed by her opponent's strength of conviction, the swordswoman could not say a word."

Although, it should also be stressed that for Tashigi, Zoro's words left traces, traces that even in Punk Hazard do not heal:

"But above all, he found it impossible to forgive that man who had dared to tell him that his existence bothered him."

The feelings of both Zoro and Tashigi in this duel were of coping and recognition. Zoro acknowledges that Tashigi is an expert swordswoman, just as her very existence makes him nervous, he stresses that her presence alone makes him feel nervous. On the other hand, Tashigi was upset at being teased, insulted and hurt, but even so, she maintains that Zoro is an expert swordsman, and will pursue him to catch him with her bare hands.

Zoro in Loguetown aroused romantic feelings for Tashigi, and in Alabasta in their second encounter we see that Zoro cannot face Tashigi, either because he was still not done unleashing those sentimental knots or simply because he was tormented by her resemblance to Kuina, we only know that Zoro himself states that Tashigi "is the only person he cannot fight" or by a more recent translation "she is the only one I am weak to". By Zoro admitting that Tashigi is his weakness, he is assuming that she is the only person for whom he can show affection, predilection, passion and love. Someone's weakness is always their most precious treasure.

Then, Oda emphasizes it again in One Piece Blue Deep, placing that Tashigi, itself, is Zoro's weakness in 2012.

The same year that the Punk Hazard manga chapters come out. Here we enter one of my favorite arcs, which according to me has many important panels for Tashigi's character development but that will be another story.

Zoro's feelings for Tashigi in Punk Hazard are different from those evidenced in Loguetown and Alabasta. In PH, Oda gives us an early Zotash moment, where we can see that Zoro cares and feels the need to know what Law did to Tashigi. A Zoro worried about Tashigi is both hilarious and beautiful.

But, in itself, then there is their first moment where they both find themselves in each other's presence. Subtly, Zoro in this part still considered Tashigi an "Imitator", but acknowledges knowing what Tashigi's rank was "Sergeant" and knows that she is now a "Captain" (the man pays attention to his girl's little details).

Why do you keep calling her an imitator and when she admits that she is no longer an imitation of Kuina? Easy to explain. At the moment when the G-5 sacrifices himself for Tashigi, their captain, loved and respected, Zoro is disturbed by what happened. At that time, the same Zoro could recognize that Tashigi is not a copy of Kuina, she is a woman worth having respect and loyalty to his men, men who gave life for her (something Zoro was going to be a time in Triller Bark to save the life of his captain). She recognizes that Tashigi in fact is and will be only her. In the Loguetown novel Zoro admits this:

"As their conversation progressed, he realized what made Kuina different. The bespectacled swordswoman was quiet and unassuming by nature, both in her manners and her appearance."

Then we have their reunion in the Cookie Room in Punk Hazard. Chapter 687 of the manga, which from the beginning screams that it was going to be a chapter dedicated to Zotash.

Starting with Sanji's panel where he admits that in fact Zoro "has a soft side" (2012) and that Tashigi in his hands will be protected. Something that already in the writings of the Loguetown Novel (2002) had been introduced stating that Zoro " Even in his sturdy heart there was a soft side capable of having feelings for another person". So yes, Oda used the same words written in the Loguetown Novel, to give Sanji that phrase that is nothing more and nothing less than linked to Tashigi in both parts: Loguetown Novel and Chapter 687 of the manga.

This confirms that Zoro has feelings for Tashigi, without admitting that Sanji himself may hint at them or have an idea.

In the official interview of Zoro's Ships released on the official One Piece Youtube channel, they stress that in fact, Zoro was all along aware of Tashigi. When she was hurt by Monet, his killer instinct was activated because he doesn't like her to be hurt. Besides, that the nickname he gives her "Captain Four Eyes" is a wholehearted nickname. Without obviating, that they claim that both were "fighting" but flirting.

Also, that in the SBS 70 Oda emphasizes that in fact, Zoro did care about Tashigi, as well as Tashigi's possible future feelings for Zoro.

Finally, in the SBS of One Piece Party 1 Oda again drops a very important clue to better understand Tashigi and Zoro's relationship. Stating that Zoro no longer considers Tashigi an "Imitator", to Zoro, Tashigi is "Captain Four Eyes".

I don't want to get too deep into One Piece World Seeker a game with a great functional trope between the relationship between Zoro and Tashigi. But yes, anyone who says that for Zoro, Tashigi means nothing has simply not understood everything Oda has built up since their first meeting.

It's a dragon slayer thing, dragons are quite possessive and passionate. It's canon, and no one can change my mind. 😭

All my fav in one panel!
