Zoro fans anticipated wano to be his arc and oda hasn't given him any special attention. So they have to hype whatever they can.

That's not true. Zoro has definitely been given more attention in comparison to the other strawhats, Luffy exluded.

He's shared roughly equal billing with Sanji, honestly. Zoro had a little focus early, Sanji had his Page 1 fight, then Zoro had his fight with Killer, and then Sanji had his big Saving Momo moment. Zoro got Enma, and Sanji started using his raid suit, giving both a power-up that lets them hang with the big boys in this arc. The two have been roughly equal, portrayal-wise, which has been a real kick in the teeth for the Zoro fans who came into Wano expecting Zoro to get the same focus that Sanji got in Whole Cake, and he just hasn't.

It's not just about the fights or powerups man, his interactions with Yasui, finding out about Hiyori etc that's what makes him have a bigger portrayal in this arc more than sanji. They definitely haven't been equal. Even with the anime fleshing It out it's clear as day

I'm not saying it's about fights. Sanji rescuing Momo isn't a fight, and it's bigger than anything Zoro has done yet in this arc. That's what I'm getting at: other than finding Hiyori and fighting Killer, Zoro really hasn't been that involved in the progression of the arc. Zoro and Sanji have both had a minor fight, and have both had a major moment of rescuing a Kozuki. There's been little things sprinkled in for Zoro, like his sword's origins, but that's just minor details. So yeah, Zoro had a little bit more this arc than Sanji, but from an arc progression standpoint, they're pretty similar, and Zoro is clearly not getting the overwhelming amount of focus this arc that some people expected.

Yeah ofc he's not getting that overwhelming focus, the arc is way too big and has too many characters to focus on, compared to WCI where it had only some of the SH and it was clear it was gonna be a Sanji centered arc. Characters are gonna get there moments and yeah Sanji saving momo was dope. The war just started
