Actually, his rank depends on the timeline! In the official My Hero Academia rankings before All Might's retirement (from Chapter 3 to 183), Yoroi Musha was indeed the No. 8 Hero. He dropped to No. 9 later on after the rankings shifted and other heroes moved up. Since our story is currently set during the earlier period, No. 8 is accurate for now. But I love how closely you’re following the lore, keep it up!

Absolutely! Even if the sky were falling, if it’s time for Zoro’s nap, nothing on earth is waking him up, haha. I’m really glad you found his behavior so true to his original character.

That’s the grim reality of the hero society; they are completely obsessed with Quirks, and anyone outside that system is viewed as an anomaly or a 'special case' that deserves pity or suspicion. This constant friction is exactly what will make Zoro’s rise with his swords and Haki a total shockwave that rattles this entire society to its core.

Haha, Aizawa definitely has a really harsh and blunt teaching style (and his talk about the ten-month expectations can feel pretty brutal). But just wait until you see how he deals with Zoro in the future, you might just change your mind about him or see him from a whole new perspective.

He saw or sensed that there was something different about him; perhaps he was observing him secretly. Because Aizawa and Zoro have something in common, which will become apparent in the future, follow the events.

There are challenges, there are secrets, and many things will be revealed in the story later on. It will also show a part of the past relating to Kenji, Shimotsuki Kozaburo, his family history, and All For One. Follow the story and support me more Thank you for your excellent review.

I'm currently busy, and writing new chapters is exhausting me. But I'm trying to publish a chapter for you every day. Please support me more so that the story reaches new readers; this encourages me to work harder and write more.

Yes, Shimotsuki has Haki, but he's an old man, 100 years old or more. There were things that prevented him from achieving what he wanted and from defeating All For One. And after 80% or more of the population had Quirks, and people abandoned traditional martial arts, everyone became dependent solely on Quirks. And since those who possess the Quirks cannot awaken Haki.The appearance of Zoro, who was born without any Quirk, and his awakening of Haki, is what made him a rare thing and gave hope and a new will to both Shimotsuki and Kenji. I hope you understand. Support the story further and continue following the events.

Very soon, get ready for that
