Spoiler One Piece Chapter 972 Spoilers Discussion

[Reborn]

Also, if the full spoilers are to be believed, than Oden just confirmed that Luffy, and not anybody else, will be the one to beat Kaido, .

Oden - in 20 years, the main character of "the giant war" will come into the new world, the one that can defeat Kaido will be them

 

[Topi Jerami]

Just wait for Onigashima
that's where the F#ck fest starts

Don't set your hope too high already, there will always Offpanel Offpanel no Mi
Before it actually happened who would have thought Roger Pirates vs WB Pirates would get offpanelled so much and only given "aFtEr 3 DaYs.." or legendary Whitebeard vs Roger happened only in single panel.
Or Oden + scabbards vs Beast Pirates yet no scabbards are given any panel

Can someone make a list of all the things Oda has retconed due to this messy flashback. The one I can think off from the top of my head are.
1. Momonosuke seeing Oden die
2. Oden having Conquerors haki
3. Kaido caring about Raftel or Poneglyph information
4. Orochi caring about Wano's borders
5. Toki matering in any way

I'm sure theres more

Maybe this will be explained later but
6. Identity of third Calamity above burning castle panel (and fourth one if people's guess about existence of 4th Calamity in the flashback was legit)

Oda missed the Chance to Show Oden using COC

them luffy and sanji. looks like oden was also reading the germa66 comic strip.

 

[Eustass]

This arc contains Oda’s flimsiest writing yet.

100%. Since the start of the arc man.

Even WCI was better written than Wano.. but let's see.

 

[Chrono]

Oden - in 20 years, the main character of "the giant war" will come into the new world, the one that can defeat Kaido will be them

Sanji and Luffy. Already tag teamed against Big Meme.

Now its time for Kaido

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

I feel bad that I caught up to the manga at the start of WCI. I ended up missing the weekly exprerience of readif and sicussing the fantastic flashbacks in Zou and Dressrosa. Now the only ones I've gotten to talk about are:
Sanji's flashback- MEH
Big mom's flashback- Pretty good
Katakuri's flashback- Meh
Oden's flashback - subpar.

Damn I miss Corazon and law and Kyros and Rebecca's flashbacks

Whatever, ONTO THE FIGHTS

 

[Finalbeta]

Oda missed the Chance to Show Oden using COC

That would of been massive expecially in the case scenario he would show off an advanced stage of it.

Maybe he was a CoA specialist who knows.

 

[MarineHQ]

So what was the point of Oden having the qualities of a King ?

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

oden has coc

When did he use it?

 

[Bogard]

Oda: Kaido chased Oden to get the secrets of the World after he reached Laugh Tale

Also Oda: i'm gonna forget/ignore that plot point completely in a Oden dedicated flashback as if i never mentioned it before

 

[Chrono]

100%. Since the start of the arc man.

Even WCI was better written than Wano.. but let's see.

If we compare both the beginnings of the arcs. Then WCI is better. But then WCI became a clusterfuck at the end. If Wano is already mess at the start....I am scared of the ending

 

[Worst]

I think next chapter will start with the introduction of the Fire Festival (hope to see some cool pannels) and the whole sh** will start with the scabbards arriving at Onigashima almost getting killed then the alliance will appear out of nowhere

The third guy had Jack's silhouette so it's probably jack... Hehehehe... problem is this should be 8 year old jack somehow

 

[Cyrus the Cactus]

When did he use it?

About the same time as Sengoku and Hancock.

"Them" is sometimes used as a singular pronoun in case someone is being addressed in a gender neutral fashion.

Oh I forgot when Luffy became non-binary

 

[Reborn]

Lol

I guess he skipped everything related to void century plot under the fear of disclosing something crucial prematurely...

 

[KiriNigiri]

Oh I forgot when Luffy became non-binary

Does Oden know who Luffy is?

 

[Worst]

Btw what kind of idiot write a letter with his last words like "Toki, I am already at my peak" wtf dude we sure this isn't fake?
