Many would say that One Piece's most impressive feat is its ability to give each character something special. At least one specific thing. On the other hand, there are those who have many unique traits. Some of these traits are very serious and well-crafted, while others are playful aspects that serve to illustrate the less serious side of One Piece. In this article, we'll be discussing Roronoa Zoro, a character who certainly has many unique traits, but within the framework of a funny nickname given to him by Sanji. Do you know how Sanji sometimes calls Zoro "Marimo"? Well, this article will tell you everything you need to know about this nickname and its meaning.

Zoro's Appearance Explained

Zoro is a very special character, that's for sure. Besides being unique, he's also very important, which is why we've written so many articles about him, this one being an addition to the library we already have. This article is actually related to Zoro's physical appearance, so before we get into that, let us explain a few details you should know beforehand.

Zoro is a slim and muscular young man. His body is covered in scars from his previous fights, but this fits his character. While his clothing and eye color have varied throughout the series, there is one trait present in Zoro's appearance that hasn't changed since his debut, namely his hair color, which is also the most important aspect of his appearance as far as this article is concerned.

Zoro has short hair (he has sometimes had longer hair, but it is usually short) that is spiky and green in color. The hairstyle has undergone some slight changes throughout the series, but the hair color has been a fixed aspect of his appearance ever since. The shading has changed, but that is an animated aspect and has nothing to do with reality. Zoro's hair color is, as you know, green, and it is this color that inspired the nickname we are about to discuss. In the next question, we will tell you what "Marimo" means and why it is an important part of the story.

"Marimo" is Sanji's way of teasing Zoro because of his hair color

If you're a fan of the manga and anime One Piece, you probably know that many characters have many nicknames, some of which are funnier, while others are less so. When it comes to Zoro, the nickname we're going to talk about is "Marimo." It was given to him by Sanji, which also makes a lot of sense, given that the two have a very specific relationship.

They're friends, but their relationship is full of so many hilarious moments, which is why it's one of the best relationships in the series. It was Sanji, as we said, who gave Zoro the nickname "Marimo," and it's actually a reference to Zoro's hair. So, what does "Marimo" mean?

Well, if you were to literally translate the phrase, it would mean "moss ball" or "moss head," both of which have a lot of meaning, and we can understand why Sanji gave Zoro this nickname. Because of its specific green color—which is the color of moss—and its spiky appearance—which resembles the texture of moss—Zoro's hair can truly be considered moss from a humorous perspective. Of course, Sanji wasn't making fun of Zoro; he simply wanted to give him a funny nickname, and "Marimo" is a very fitting nickname, seeing as how meaningful and truly funny it is. And that's the story of "Marimo" and its significance for the story of One Piece, as well as for Zoro's story.
