One Piece: Is this the origin of Zoro's name?
The Wanokuni arc is often associated with the mysterious Zoro figure, due to the similarities between Zoro's elements and the Wano region. For example, Zoro is a samurai and a swordsman. In Wano, almost all of the residents are swordsmen and samurai. This is what makes One Piece fans come up with a myriad of theories about Zoro and Wano.
One example of the theory about Zoro and Wano is the village where Zoro was born in East Blue, namely the village of Shimotsuki. Shimotsuki itself is one of the most respected clans in Wano. They inhabited the Ringo region, and became rulers of the region. In addition to Zoro's origins, the theory that develops about Zoro and has something to do with Wano is the history of Zoro's own name.
According to his theory, it is possible that Shimotsuki Ushimaru is Zoro's father. Ushimaru himself is the Daimyo or ruler of the Ringo region. Shimotsuki Ushimaru has a pet who is also his trusted partner, a fox named Onimaru. Thanks to the loyalty shown by Onimaru, Ushimaru then has a plan to name his son Onimaru.
His own wife knew that her husband wanted to name his son Onimaru. When Kaido attacks Ringo, Ushimaru is busy fighting against the forces of the Beast Pirates. That's why he asked the comrade to take care of his wife while going out of Ringo, towards the East Blue area where the other Shimotsuki clans were.
But, unfortunately, Kaido's men managed to find them before they could manage to get away from Ringo. Onimaru the fox is still with them, trying to protect Ushimaru's wife. Finally, Ushimaru's wife then named her son Zoro which means fox in Spanish and also gave the first name Roronoa. This is done to protect the child from being chased by Kaido's men.
Then, how do we know Zoro's real name? This is likely to happen when Zoro uses one of his signature moves, Asura. This ability will attract the attention of Wano samurai who participated in the battle against Kaido. And it will reveal other things, like Zoro's real name.
The Shimotsuki clan ruling in the Ringo region is the main home of the Shimotsuki clan. And only those from the main clan could practice a sword god skill or skill like Asura and all those from the main family could use that power. Zoro's green hair and Asura's will give clues about Zoro's past.
In addition, as previously stated by Hyogoro that there are similarities between Zoro and Ryuma. They are both one-eyed samurai. Ryuma himself is the ancestor of Ushimaru, where Ushimaru does have similarities with Zoro's figure in terms of character design. Let's just wait for the real facts about Zoro's figure that might be revealed after the battle at Onigashima.
