Recently, in One Piece, a new character appeared who stole Zoro’s sword named Gyukimaru.

Suppose if Gyukimaru is Benkei, then is Zoro Yoshitsune, a famous hero in Japan?

It must be admitted that Gyukimaru’s appearance is very similar to Benkei, a famous Japanese monk.

Benkei is an extremely loyal and strong person.

Now let’s learn about Yoshitsune, the owner of Benkei.

Next, let’s analyze the coincidences between Gyukimaru and Benkei and Zoro and Yoshitsune!

– Zoro lost his Shusui so he chased the thief.

– Yoshitsune and Benkei fought on the Gojo-Ohashi bridge.

– Benkei is described as very large and Yoshitsune is too small compared to him.

– Benkei was a general under Yoshitsune until his death.

– The opening of the Wano chapter is the scene where Zoro is forced to commit suicide by seppuku.

– Yoshitsune was one of the greatest samurai of his time, and one of the famous warriors of Japanese history.

– Yoshitsune helped his brother become Shogun, defeating the enemy.

No one knows Zoro’s background, only that he always wants to become stronger.

If based on Yoshitsune’s life and if Oda intended to turn Zoro into Yoshitsune, it is possible that Zoro was brought to the East Sea when he was young because of the war.

In addition, an interesting thing is that Yoshitsune is the 9th child of his family.
