Lolden being Lolden
Called it last week. All out Orochi with his myhical zoan DF ~ Oden.
C'mon! Hahaha, we do not know the context here hahahaha, relax
There is a very high chance that just like they asked Oden to dance around and be a mockery of himself to save Hyo and his family. That they also wanted to make a specticle and make a scene in front of the citizens by asking Oden to act scared in front of people from Orochi and Kaido. It's a way to break the people's spirit.
BUT honestly, despite the fact that I believe that is the case. I do not think for one second that this was the right call from Oden.
You see, his actions were not basically just affecting himself and Hyogoro and his family. His actions led to breaking the spirits of all civilians. Because to them, it appeared that Oden, their only light of hope, is nothing but an ant infront of the supposedly great Orochi, and naturally kaido as well.
That's in my opinion worse than having Hyo and his family killed. Because those kinds of actions turns off any kind of rebellion spirit that existed. And I think that Hyo himself would have disagreed with Oden's actions. I believe Hyo would have been ready to sacrifice himself in order for the rebillion to STAY ALIVE. Instead of breaking the spirit.
Yasui as an example sacrificed himself for the rebillion to continue, and Hyo would do nothing less. I feel Oden's actions, I kinda understand it, but it also goes against what warriors like Hyo and yasui wanted from him. Cause in terms of writing stand of point, you gotta realize that it's always important to deliver the message of "Hope" and "spark of rebellion" EVEN AT THE COST of sacrificing oneself.
To me, I feel like Oden is so kindhearted, but his choice was wrong because his actions led to all of Wano citizens losing "hope". Which is a message that mangaka artist usually try to convey as one of the most important things to fight for with your life
