Brook is literally dead. Don't get more disabled than that

u/bl0bberb0y Sep 06 '24
But he's not even top 3 in the straw hats I love brook he's my favorite straw hat even but he is far from being on the level of these guys

u/1AverageGamer Sep 06 '24
I mean as far as disabled people in one piece go, brook is the most disabled and match that to the fact he is literally a dead skeleton walking he is super strong.

But this isn't the 7 most disabled list, it's the 7 strongest out of those that are disabled and brook is not in the top 7 out of those with a disability.

Shanks and fujitora are litterally the only ones who actually have to deal with his disability instead of just making a new arm/leg
405
u/TayHomie94 Sep 06 '24
Tbf Zoro has as many eyes as Shanks has arms so he has to deal with it too
257
u/UnjustNation Sep 06 '24
If you think about it… It’s crazy how Oda took away the depth perception of a swordsman
Yeah it looks cool but in real life that would have ended Zoro’s swordsmanship career right there and then
98
u/TayHomie94 Sep 06 '24
Might have been cool if they added that he gained a technique during or after the timeskip to close his available eye and perform some kind of advanced awareness haki by doing so, Fujitora style, but that never came to pass.
And yeah, realistically his depth perception should be kinda bad😅 and even if he remained a swordsman it would just be a thing to go for either his blind side or to take his remaining eye.
47
u/cloudfallnyx Sep 06 '24
honestly Oda isn’t the type of writer to give us something like that until it feels plot convenient, i mean look at how he treats Ussop with his observation haki.
23
u/TayHomie94 Sep 06 '24
Yeah for real man. Apparently Crocodile has armorment and observation haki now based on Odas latest vivre card entry. Maybe he got them in a similar way but off screen. So it might not be too late for zoro when the time is right.

u/Vaguename123 Sep 07 '24
They did add that. Zoro fights the angler fish man, nuru, on fish man island who blinds him and says "good luck dodging my attacks now that you cant see". Zoro responds "You only see with your eyes? Some swordsman you are." Episode 560

u/Particular-Crow-1799 Sep 06 '24
in real life
Yeah but in real life we don't have observation haki, he can compensate with super perception

u/AdventurerBlue Sep 07 '24
The depth perception point is true, but if you really consider how swordsmanship works in One Piece we also have to account for ranged attacks.
There is something people who shoot as a hobby learn about aim. Most people have a dominant eye that provides them with more precise positional information
You can test this, pick an object across the room. With both eyes open point at the center of that object. Without moving your hand Close one eye and note if you're still pointing near the object center, then open it and close the other. Most people notice a significant enough difference in that when the dominant eye is closed they aren't pointing nearly as close to the object center as they thought they were, and when the dominant is the one open they are almost dead on.
If your about even with each eye congrats it's uncommon but not unheard of, this means both of your eyes have about equal neural connections to the brain.
But it's entirely possible Zoro found he was having to close one eye to aim anyway so he sacrificed an eye. I can't remember if we have had the what happened to zorros eye official reveal yet or not though, so this could be an already debunked theory.

u/Negative-Region6259 Sep 06 '24
I get Shanks, but Fujitora’s introduction clearly establishes that he is more aware of his surroundings than if he could see. His only regret of blinding himself was not knowing what Luffy looks like, but that is less of a hinderance to him than a regret.
60
u/Pk_Dawn Pirate King Buggy Sep 06 '24
True, but I kinda thought that fujitora had to actually train his observation haki a ton in order for it to make up for his lack of vision, the rest just kinda get to still function exactly like they did before just because they ate fruit. I guess fujitora doesn't have to deal with it but he probably did have to actually over come it.

u/AntonChigurh8933 Sep 06 '24
Another reason why I love Oda. It takes a blind person to see how truly ugly and injustice the world is.

Well technically his story is that he chose to blind himself after seeing the injustice of the world

Well no. Shiki and Aokiji have plain old prosthetics. Maybe I'm misremembering it, but I don't remember anything in the manga saying their prosthetics offer them some kind of increased movement capability over regular ones. It's just that Aokiji made a prosthetic out of ice cuz he can rebuild it at any time and Shiki out of swords cuz he cool like that.

u/Pk_Dawn Pirate King Buggy Sep 06 '24
A prosthetic made out of ice is basically just the same as his normal leg when you can freely control the ice lol

To be fair, we don’t know that Zoro is actually missing that eye. Y’all gonna feel really silly when he whips out the rinnegan to take down Mihawk.
228
u/WindjammerX Sep 06 '24
It's not about the eye. Zoro's directionally challenged.
28
Sep 07 '24
Plot twist, he took out his eye cause he couldnt tell left and right apart. Now he just goes by ''eye/no eye' instead of left/right
160
u/Septeban Sep 06 '24
It's been way too long since it disappeared. We're more likely to learn about how he lost it and had to put his back into acquiring a stronger observation haki. Maybe Mihawk did it, maybe Zoro himself caused it accidentally (or willfully). But the superpower thing is so out of character, but I'd be down for some rinnegan action in One Piece tbh. Shinra tensei and all that.
134
u/daekle Sep 06 '24
We're more likely to learn about how he lost it
I don't feel like Oda is ever giving us more backstory to Zoro. He's avoided it for so long. Even the eye thing is probably "I just thought it looked cool".
Would love to be wrong.

u/yosayoran Sep 06 '24
Pretty sure Ida wanted Zoro to be one eyed samurai from day one, certainly wouldn't surprise me if there's nothing more to it other than that Oda thinks it looks cooler.

yeah, 99.9% chance we'll get info on it through a fucking vivre card or something. It'll mostly be along the lines of "yeah haha a strong ass baboon caught him off guard" or some shi
Since zoro's lineage got discussed in a vivre card and there being 0 clues about the fucking thing he saw post king fight throughout egghead, I lost faith in the eye backstory as well.

I don’t think it is anything special.
If Zoro’s eye was something special like a power-up, he 100% would’ve used it in the rooftop against Kaido.

Fuji's blindness is deff hightlighted within the narrative. I.E wishing to see luffy's face etc.
fighting wise it's compensated for by haki, but that's not to say it doesn't matter. We don't know how much stronger fuji may have been in the past.

Kidd just looks cooler, also Crunchyroll is notoriously inconsistent with its subtitles and had Kid as Kidd for several parts of the run.
You can see how Mariejois has been changed to Mary Geois more recently.
Fuck, our resident shark boii has been misspelled so many times, is it Jimbe, Jimbei, Jinbe or Jembe? Cause the subtitles have used ALL.

Jinbe, Jinbei, Jimbe, and Jimbei are the only names he's been given due to the ambiguity of n/m and e/ei in Japanese. Don't know where you got Jembe from.

It's crazy seeing how many people here forgot Aokiji is disabled.
Also not sure what is required to make this list. Shiki hasn't been canonically shown since his disability happened, Perospero hasn't done anything except lose since his disability, his last major one being against a disabled Cat Viper who had just fought against Kaidou and Jack. And Kid higher than Zoro when between the two of them, Zoro actually damaged Kaidou.
