Pure instinct...
ONE PIECE (1999) ⚔ episode 982
#2 is our second-favorite deputy Tashigi, and I say that because of an effect you can pretty much dub The Tashigi Effect. In a massive ensemble cast, sometimes you'll get a character who's perfectly fine, good even...but just plain outclassed at anything you do. I love Tashigi, always have. But first check the blog name, Kiku runs laps around you as the plucky deputy and the silent but powerful move of sorta undercutting any nitpicks about considering her in the Kuina bucket through the Minks/Kawamatsu as little brothers? Sorry, that's just more interesting than Tashigi griping at Zoro about it. Hina's a cooler lady marine and now add the SWORD girlies. We're at a point we've got renowned blacksmiths like Sukiyaki to drop sword lore, even Smoker's long outclassed. It is what it is.
I bring it up because this short story uses that context well. Simple enough idea. Smoker & Tashigi & Co. pull into a backwater island to make repairs. There's some small-time pirates flying under the Navy's radar. These are our good guy Marines so they're already on it but it compounds with Tashigi already stumbling when giving sword lessons to a local girl. When asked if she's strong, Tashigi's just being humble but the girl takes it the wrong way. Leads to her rushing off to deal with the pirates when the Navy was just waiting until morning for them to all be together. Then naturally, Tashigi solves it by reminding you she's still a Captain in the Marines and only "weak" in comparison to the monsters of the world she's been around.
There's a huge gap between backwater pirates and standing even with Roronoa Zoro in this world. Tashigi's way closer to him than they are to her. It's easy to forget that when she has a humble personality and can be a little spacey. Making this story a clever defense of Tashigi as a character in addition to being a good story about her. You watch, the chuds are gonna have a big moment of revelation about her when the episode drops.
Soo we have already seen Odas interpretation of Zoro's swords (and earrings) as humans. Now imagine them as DOGS 🐕 😍
Planning some fanart with Zoro and 3 doggos. And one with Tashigi and her Sigure 😍
I have planned some Asian Japanese breeds because they are katanas, after all. But what dog breeds would you choose?
Tashigi sketches in “Disney” style.
The Oni and Lady Justice. Enemies to lovers. Pirate and Marine.
Not done yet. But here is a little WIP with the two sword freaks. Looking forward to finishing it, with some colours and more ✍️
So... One Piece Live Action trailer is out and I am so exited to watch it and hopefully get some of my friends into the series I love So much 😍 Almost can't wait.
However... It seems Tashigi (and Smoker) won't appear in this season. A tiny bit sad about that, as it is now up to the viewership, and Netflix to determine if it should have a second season, where our sword geek is more than likely to appear...
I do have a theori though, that it might be a very intentional decision from the director and crews part. You see the actress playing Kuina, doesn't have a generic face she is infact quite unique. Finding an adult lookalike, (who also could be trained in swords fighting) would be quite a task which would need a serious amount of luck.
No I believe they deliberately chose to wait with the introduction of Tashigi, until Audry Cymone is just a tiny bit older, so she can play Tashigi. 😉 As of 2023, she is 14 years old, which would make her way too young to play an adult... But what if she was 16? 17? Would it be more acceptable for her to play a young adult at that age? I believe so 😉
That is just my theory though, so feel free to correct and dismantle everything I wrote 😅
Looking forward to see the cast bring our so so so beloved strawhat crew to life.
I just LOVE the idea of Zoro having some sort of Oni power 😍
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:
Robin --- They just admit that the moment Robin is attacked by Enel and she falls to the ground, and how Zoro holds her with his swords and arms so as not to hurt her is cute of Zoro who at first didn't like her at all.
Hiyori --- they talk about her being Momonusuke's sister, she is very cute, and Zoro realizes to keep her safe by keeping her away from the enemies, so he doesn't have to owe anything to Momo, just like, he leaves the perverted cook Sanji in transparency, letting him see that Zoro knows how to treat and carry a woman. Something that they affirm that Hiyori very lovingly entwines her arms around Zoro's neck, already trusting him. The part of Zoro lying with Hiyori seems to him simply, Zoro is lucky to sleep with a woman next to him without even realizing that he is next to her >.<.
TASHIGI -minute 12:24 to 14:07- IMPACT ARE TRANSPORTER ZOTASH. The moment Tashigi appears, everyone gets excited ❤.
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 carries an unconscious Tashigi, they say that it seems more like a couple that: "they argue like a couple who just want to have sex relationship" because 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)
Have Oda seen the old Star Wars films? If so, I hope he will make a Han Solo x Lea tribute moment with Zoro and Tashigi.
Tashigi: "I love you!"
Zoro: "I know... "
Like it would fit them so well 😍
Just got reminded how other series has characters go into rage mode. Now I need ZORO to get into rage mode. Just imagine Zoro, King of Hell get into Rage berserk mode. Bonus points if Tashigi would be somehow involved (ei. Protecting her or something)
Would be PEAK FICTION 😍🤩😎
It is a promise....
God, this is just, so so so beautiful. Like, I love ZoTash, and I want them to be together. But it is really THIS and the fact that it can't ever be, the tragedy of Kuina's death and what could have been... So sad. Zoro needs a hug god dammit! Praise the artist who did this <3
So I need some clarification on how to interpret this panel of Zoro. It is one of the great panels of him in Book 69 chapter ... Normally when we see the characters with such eyes, is when they are fighting, are shocked or has killing intent. But here he is just talking to Tashigi... Also we know characters with massive power has eyes with "several rings" ei. Mihawk, Imu. Especially Sun God Luffy, is wearing such eyes...
What does the eyes mean? What does the look Zoro is giving Tashigi mean? I mean it can ONLY be intentional. As it would be easy for Oda to just draw his normal black dot eyes.
SPOILER 1081
Endgame ZoTash would be so romantic. Imagine he'd come back home one day and be like "hey woman I've bought your favourite sword polish" or whatever
Power couple! Let's hunt evil swordsman together 😁 stupid man and crazy woman. They are too crazy to be sitting around in a dojo, that would be their retirement plan.
SPOILERS 1080
Not to spoil anything but.... TASHIGI IS IN THE CHAPTER AND IS NOT A BABY SITTER!!!!!
Going with Garp and SWORD! (Good girl!) to save Coby.
Sporty Captain Tashigi? Gotta keep up to her man ;)
