One Piece Chapter 1035: Zoro Vs King (Official Release)

"103 mercies" from Zoro's attack is likely another reference to Buddhism.

>Dhammapada Verse 103​

Sūtra/Sutta
"One may conquer in battle a thousand times a thousand men, yet he is the best of conquerors who conquers himself."<

Strangely fitting in the context of Zoro trying to conquer his blade (an extension of himself) after beating so many opponents.
Another Good Reference from Oda.
 
Something that Tekking101 brought in his review that I can't help but think about. The King of Hell Three sword style is likely named after enma since he's basically letting Enma take all it wants in this fight (aka in charge). What if his sword style changes depending on which sword is "in charge"? Like imagine a Path of Harmony Three Sword Style (Wado) and Demon Splitter/Oni Piercer Three Sword Style (Kitetsu).

Of course this is likely not the case, just food for thought.

The other swords are not as demanding though. Also "Path of Harmony" doesn't sound like a Zoro technique at all
 
It just clicked. King's fire lowering his defenses takes me back to the initial idea of him having some sort of connection to the red line's/Red Poneglyph properties.
When the fire is on his back, it's regular fire. But when he's using it offensively Zoro likens it to Magma. The Red Poneglyphs only get vulnerable to be written on when exposed to high volcanic temperatures. And King's body only gets vulnerable when he's using Magma-like heat, aka> high volcanic temperatures. Otherwise he's pretty much indestructible (at least in the narrative context) similiar to the Red Poneglyphs.
Coincidence? 👀
 
King's Back still On Fire when Zoro cut King, Zoro definietly outclass King on His KoH mode.. I'm sooooo excited to wait Zoro's VA pronounce that words.

Doesn't look like it

It isn't just that. The Japanese editors forced Tite Kubo to rush the then final storyarc of Bleach in a very unsatisfactory manner, and the Toriko and Naruto creators had their new mangas cancelled almost immediately.
 
Yes, and he is the most popular mangaka in history.
 
Thank you. I will close this thread then.
