- Great chapter. Not much to say on choreography, I'd be repeating last week's comment on how spectacular the action panels are.
- It's exciting to see Luffy, Zoro, Kid, Law and Killer finally taking on emperors. CP0 setting the battle on a Go board was an amusing scene setter for upcoming Executives vs Alliance fights. They're sure to unfold in the very near future. More Ulti please
- Kaido and Linlin are half serious, I believe Kaido's hybrid is signaling "play time is over". Momentum will shift drastically next chapter.
- Yes, Oden's aura is in Enma. Wanks bickering over haki or not is irrelevant. Whether it's the Scabbards or his swords, any Oden-adjacent entity triggers Kaido's one and true emotional scar. His inability to live up to Oden's "hour of legend" death.
Oden truly stopped time. Yamato wants to live up to him as an adventurer. The Scabbards as samurai. Momonosuke as a leader. Kaido as a martyr. They're stuck in time. Closed off like Wano. Hence, Joy Boy was needed to "open up" Wano and help them move past antiquated over-exaggerated legends. Last year, I wrote about it
here, I wish I'd waited as recent events only confirmed my theory on Oden's thematic significance in the story.
- Hybrid Kaido already looking savage in silhouette. Thank God there's no break, I can't wait to see that shit. As Luffy is out of haki, I expect the other 4 to be dealt some serious damage. Then, Luffy will unveil a new form or gear. It's inevitable
For now tho, it's #YonkoMentalHealth SZN
