Current Events What the hell is with all the fake deaths this arc?
- Thread starter Lion of Olympus
- Start date
Hope Ashura, Kiku, Kanjuro and Kin are dead. Would make the arc much better, and give some drama to Wano. Yasui death was cool, but didnt mean very much for the readers.
Oda sometimes kill characters, like Vergo, Monet, Absalon, Pedro, Ace, WB. But for him to kill like 5 of the scabbards would be a good change in course for the manga.

Because he’s setting us up for the most obvious, yet also most consequential death of all...he wants y’all to think he’s incapable of murdering one of his characters for real, and then BAM!! LUFFY ACTUALLY FUCKING DIES FOREVER AND I’M NOT KIDDING, HE WILL LOSE HIS LIFE AND ODA WILL NOT BRING HIM BACK 
Depends what is being counted as a death fakeout.
Kine’mon, Kanjuro and Kiku- 100%. Every single one of those characters have had dialogue saying that they were about to die, so when we come back in a few chapters and they’re okay- bad, bad fakeout.
The Scabbards on the roof was not. At no point was it said that any of them had died. There is no reason to suddenly assume we are meant to think that every defeated person is also dead.

It's called fake hype and it's actually a smart tactic to keep fans even more focused on future events. It's a mangaka strategy that more often than not works well. However I don't know if this is mostly a strategy or just a natural way of processing the series for Oda, more like the latter as he hates death.
Looks like you didn’t learn your lesson yet

I am not going to be, i never taught Kanjuro was dead the furst time, never taught Orochi dead either.
I think Kiku story arc closed and Kanjuro should die to Kinemon. This is the reason this time i feel its different.
