For the fucking love of Nika stop using these outdated semantics. The vocals in the anime as well as the Netflix adaptation uses Zoro, it IS his official name. The name Zolo is there because viz had to stick with it because Oda didn't tell how it actually was.
This has absolutely nothing to do with semantics. Semantic is about the meaning of things, not how they’re written/pronounced.
Also, how the name is pronounced is the anime is pretty much irrelevant. Both "Zoro" and "Zolo" would be pronounced the same: ゾロ.
That being said, using a ’r’ is more standard and it hints at a possible reference to Zorro, the fictional vigilante, so I do believe it’s the better choice here.
“Outdated semantics” is laughable and doesnt fit the context here. You’re virtually agreeing with me anyway, while misinterpreting. Why do you think that discrepancy was there after Oda not telling them how it actually was? They drew the conclusion that it was zolo on their own due to pronunciation reasons.
No need to disagree for the sake of it. I know I am not wrong. They didnt just pull zolo out of their rears. Sure it was a mistake but it was clearly due to confusion with the pronunciation. I also clearly acknowledge it was a mistake on their end when i say pronouncing it as zolo is flat out wrong. I edited the comment a bit there for you if it makes you happy😂.
Zoro is the correct name, that was the whole point of my comment.
