I too have a simmering hate for that pairing. Though I don't hate Tashigi and I think it's interesting that Zoro bumped into someone who resembled Kuina. But Tashigi herself leaves me cold, and the pairing is so uninspired and boring that I honestly question peoples tastes sometimes.

I ship them having really, reallly angry sex, like, once, maybe twice tops. Neighter forgets it but it never goes any further, the rest of their interactions more blatantly antagonistic.

I read a fic where he let her beat him up all the time because he didn't want her to realize how much weaker than him she is and that she'll never be strong enough to actually beat him, because of Kuina's issues with being born a girl or something. That's kinda how I see an actual relationship between them going. It would be such a dark, twisted thing.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-18 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
I feel exactly the same way, OP.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-18 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Why do people draw love dovey fanart of Loki and Tony?

Why do they do it for Draco and Harry? Or, hell, Snape and Harry?

Foe Yay sells, OP.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-18 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
But it's not even good foe yay, it's just her wanting him dead and him wanting her to go away because he thinks she's a creepy copycat who looks like his dead childhood friend.

How people can ship her with Zoro instead of Smoker is beyond me.

Yeah, I agree.. they're not really foes, as in, like... arch-enemies or anything. She only hates him because he's a pirate, not for anything about HIM, in particular. And aside from her looking like an old friend, he's fairly indifferent towards her. This isn't like a epic rivalry for the ages like Holmes and Moriarty or The Doctor and The Master or anything.

Maybe you have a crush on the character and is subconsciously acting up to protect your astral plane marriage?

That's cute.

Yeah, Tashigi bothers me because there's no reason for her to look like Kuina. They're not related, and even if she does have Kuina's spirit, she and Zoro have never bonded, and it's completely pointless outside of making Zoro act completely bizarre around her. I really don't get what Oda was thinking, either.

I think she's pretty cool (especially post-timeskip), so I've got no issues with her character, or even fanwork of her and Zoro. Just her implied connection to Zoro in canon itself.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-18 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ehh. As time has gone on, she's started to look less and less like Kuina as Oda's art has improved.

And honestly, I don't think Oda's going for any implied relationship between them. Kuina's dead as a doornail, if she had any siblings Zoro probably would have mentioned them in his internal monologue when he met her, and I don't think Oda'd go for "lol reincarnation", especially considering that if she reincarnated the instant she died she'd still only be like 13 or something.

This is fucking stupid. Did it ever occur to you that it's a part of the plot and will be explained one day?

(Anonymous) 2012-07-18 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
It's a fucking annoying part of the plot, and if it ends in "and here's the epilogue, and Zoro and Tashigi got married and had kids because she looks like a dead girl" I'm going to slap someone.

I actually like Tashigi, but yeah I don't like that pairing.

Tashigi/Smoker all the way!
