One Piece: Here's How Many Fights Zoro Lost After Mihawk!
Zoro is known as one of the best swordsmen in One Piece, and after his epic defeat to Mihawk on the Baratie, he vowed to himself and Luffy to never truly lose a fight again. And while that's not technically the case, since each of his defeats can be rationalized in some way, Zoro has been overpowered multiple times, even after losing to Mihawk. So, we'll tell you what happened and how many times. happened in history.
After losing to Mihawk, Zoro was defeated approximately ten times in combat (alone or in a group) by opponents and in various circumstances. Zoro fans are quick to dismiss all of these losses for various reasons, but it is a fact that the swordsman was defeated in all of these cases. Still, these defeats were never as severe as his defeat at the hands of Mihawk, so it can still be considered that Zoro did not break his promise to Luffy or to himself.
The rest of this article will focus on Zoro's swordfighting history in the series, as we'll be focusing on his fights and what happened in them. Zoro participated in a series of battles after his defeat by Mihawk, and his opponents overpowered him on several occasions. However, fans of the character still don't consider these situations to be outright losses, which is what we'll be addressing in this article. You'll learn about all these controversial moments and get an explanation for each one. The article will contain spoilers, so be careful how you approach it.

As you can see, there are over 100 battles Zoro has participated in throughout the series. Some of these were individual duels, while others were part of various groups. The ones we've highlighted in bold are those considered controversial by fans.
In all of these fights, Zoro definitely didn't win. But he didn't actually fight in all of them, at least not properly (for example, he was captured or ambushed in some of them, so it wasn't really a proper fight to begin with), so fans are quick to dismiss them. The only four battles Zoro didn't get to fight were the ones against Arlong, Enel, Kizaru, and Kuma.
Now, Zoro fans are also quick to dismiss these as not being actual duels or fights against swordsmen, but it's a fact that Zoro was defeated in these situations. However you ultimately want to label him. Zoro lost about ten times in the series after his defeat by Mihawk (it's hard to properly list all of his losses because not all of them are officially recorded—for example, the time the Yeti brothers captured him isn't listed as an official fight, even though Zoro "lost" in it).
Fans of the character will tell you that he has never lost, while those with a more objective view will tell you that the number is around ten. Of course, these "losses" have never had the same severity as his defeat against Mihawk, so we can indeed say that Zoro has kept his promise so far, but we cannot deny that he has been defeated and overpowered, as we told you above.
