One Piece Chapter 1187: Japanese Fans React to Zoro vs. Sommers — "I Don't Hate This Guy"

On One Piece Chapter 1187's Zoro vs. Sommers Saint fight, Japanese readers spent less time on the swordplay itself and more on how weirdly likable this "small-fry" Celestial Dragon knight turned out to be. Recurring threads were praise for Zoro's ice-cold delivery of his taunt, genuine sympathy for Sommers as a villain, worldbuilding theories about his sudden power-up, callbacks comparing the fight to Rayleigh's history with him and the old Skypiea battle against Ohm, plus a running tally of the arc's remaining big matchups. It all closes on a fan whose real terror isn't a Celestial Dragon's knight at all — it's his own overdue national pension bill.
