Sigh.....
- Zoro/Ryuma connection can occur if he visits his grave. Slaying a dragon modern day over Wano to parallel a story from Ryuma is an expectation set by the fanbase, not the story
- The grim reaper is an after effect of the mink drug. The page before had Chopper worried. That's it. To assume it means more, like Zoro defeating death, is again another fan expectation
- Kaido could very well be using awakening. His definition of it does not imply he needs to transform again. He already has different hybrid forms.
Again, if it happens, no skin off my back, but these scenes do not convince me it's happening
Zoro visiting Ryuma's grave won't make the world see him as the next Ryuma.
The manga and other official One Piece sources have hinted at Zoro being the next Ryuma.
The manga made it clear they won't recognize Zoro as the next Ryuma just because he looks like Ryuma and one of his descendants.
The official One Piece magazine push the idea of a modern day dragon slaying feat above Wano capital to parallel Ryuma's feat. Not us fans. We are just following the mountain amount of information that supports it.
There is nothing to support "Death" is just Zoro
hallucinating from the mink drug side effects. We know for fact that the underworld exist in One Piece because Brook told us he his soul returned from the underworld.
We don't know if Kaido has or is using awakening.
It's fine if you don't believe what's going to happen. That doesn't mean there isn't a lot of information to support it.
