The components relate to attire designed to resemble the character Roronoa Zoro from the One Piece media franchise, specifically intended for wear during the Halloween season. These ensembles frequently consist of Zoro’s signature green haramaki (belly band), dark trousers or a similar garment, a white shirt or kimono top, and the character’s distinctive three swords (or replicas thereof). The objective is to achieve a recognizable representation of the character for celebratory Halloween events.
The popularity stems from the widespread recognition and appreciation of the One Piece character within fandom culture. The appeal lies in the opportunity for individuals to express their affinity for the series and its characters through embodied representation. The act of acquiring and donning such an outfit allows for a temporary adoption of the character’s perceived attributes, thereby engaging in a form of performative fandom. Furthermore, Halloween provides a socially sanctioned context for engaging in this type of role-play.
