AS SEEN IN
- ⚔ IF YOU'RE IN THE MOVIE INDUSTRY please feel free to have heard of Zoro's accident.
- ⚔ NOT IN THE MOVIE INDUSTRY: the story has also been covered in a few articles written about the movie around the time of its release and maybe one or two buzzfeed articles. They only really come up when you search for Zoro or Ryouta Ono on google.
- ⚔ GAY VIRAL SENSATION the "Gay" Side of Twitter has been obsessed with "Sugar", or: a video of an extremely drunk Zoro, singing Pour Some Sugar On Me off-key at a bar's karaoke night. He is shirtless and thrusting more than singing along. At one point he pours syrup on himself. He does not remember going full male-stripper for a night and he does not want to remember. It's great blackmail material.
- ⚔ PAPPARAZZI Fans of Baren Kaiyou or fervent gossip mag readers may recognize Zoro as Baren's on-again off-again ""lover"". According to mags, he and Baren have broken up 7 times. In reality they have never once dated. These have probably stopped since like... Late September???
- ⚔ STREET RACES he's there. if your character goes to these, they've heard of him. he's one of the guys to beat. known for taking the loser's car when he beats them (and he always beats them).
INVENTORY
The Strawhat's Jolly Roger Flag. hung over his couch inside his houseboat. Insult the flag at your own risk.
An All-Leather Basically-Catsuit. there's really no good reason he has this I just wanted it for him. He wears it riding sometimes.
Wado Ichimonji. masterwork of a sword sheathed in a white, gold-trimmed scabbard. Always on Zoro's person starting July 11th onward.
Shusui. masterwork of a sword; completely black blade. Always on Zoro's person starting November 11th onward.

The inherent danger of the stunt made it hard to find a stunt actor willing to attempt it, which is how Zoro (a relative rookie) got the part. To everyone's surprise he successfully executed the whole thing flawlessly in one take. The only mishap was in the pyrotechnic work which triggered early and caught him in the blast.
While the stunt footage was used in the final film, the footage of what happened to Zoro remains held by the staff. All that's known is that he was found half a day later on the side of the ravine, seemingly climbing his way up while bleeding out. Rumor says when the crew found him he simply turned to them and asked:
"Did you get the take?"
Honestly, no one's really sure how he's alive after that.
