I'm still holding out for it, we'll find out once the ends and Kaido falls if its true or not, one way or another.
I wouldn't mind if Oda did something really unexpected with Kaido instead of ZKK or even give him a grandiose last stand like Whitebeard got or and he just dies satisfied getting the epic war, battles and death he always wanted.
A glorious warriors death in battle?
Oda could still tie ZKK into this and I'd definitely enjoy it but honestly, as long as Kaido gets a well written death or twist with his fate and character, I don't mind ZKK not happening personally.
What Zoro has accomplished this arc on the rooftop is immense imo amd honestly I'm already beyond satisfied with him in terms of combat feats now.
I honestly never expected him to fight 2 Yonkos (in a group ofc) and to tank their combo attack especially!
Whatever Oda has planned for Zoro in its still gonna be amazing imo, especially with the likes of Mihawk, Shiryu, possibly the sword Gorosei, getting the Nidai eventually, wherever the fuck the Shodai is and whoever has it, the storyline with Ryuuma, Kuina, all the Shimotsukis, his own family the Roronoas and his full backstory etc.
I think Oda is focusing on battles now as we went do long without proper and fun battles but he's gonna do some insane lore, current plot and character backstories, developments, reveals etc after this.
I'm really enjoying how he's handling Sanji here too, it finally feels like beginning of the real comeback he's truly deserved.
I got a lot to say on Sanji too, positive and interesting stuff but I'll do it in a seperate post, this one is already extremely lengthy by now I imagine.
