The part with Zoro's Asura being nine shadows can't be possible true since there are still nine red scabbards if we include Shinobu, since Kinemon confirmed that she's one of them and Oda had that part in the manga spiceficly for them to have nine members even after Kanjiro's betrayal.
Yeah... nice catch.
Shinobu for the win.
Still though.. I have a feeling that the whole 9 shadow will be something different than the red scabbards. I feel like Oda will even try to draw a panel when the fight is nearly over at the very end... which will be basically at "Dawn" and there will be 9 people with nine shadows standing at the end! to confirm the prophecy.
And because I can see that panel happening... I do NOT see Red Scabbard representing those nine shadows. Because I do not see ALL NINE scabbards will be standing until the very end of the war... and them ending Kaido..
I have doubts about Supernova being the chosen ones also...
I have a feeling Oda will REPLICATE Luffy's scene with Moria at the END with Kaido... during the final round... and we will have all other 8 SH members standing behind him... waiting for their captain to deliver the final blow... Which if you remember... was also a battle against time during Moria which ended RIGHT BEFORE sunset because of shadows thingy... and even Sanji/Robin/Zoro were almost lost upper half of their body at one point when the sun was put on them!
So.. I can honestly feel something of that caliber will be drawn with Kaido at the end.. Luffy having his final round... his crew is standing at the back... just witnessing their captain's final moments of victory... while the public... citizens of Wano... Red Scabbards... and others will witness Toki's words come true by seeing the dawn coming.. sunlight starting to appear... to cast nine shadows on the SH crew who are infront of them... I can already see Oda doing some artistic panel drawing with it
