Aye exactly! Oda set up such amazing potential but dropped the ball harder, than Kaido dropping from the sky island in an attempted suicide ironically lol. Killed Kaidos potential harder than he killed Kaido off.
I can't believe Oda still won't show the Rocks Crew, the God Valley incident and give us a similar flashback in BM having 2.5 chapters or w/e and thus involving BM in it since she met Kaido and was acting like his mentor/big sister/ararara "oni-chan"/step Kaidoni/Dragoni what are you doing to him lol.
Seriously though, he did probably skip it for the reasons you mention but its frustrating because we still havent seen Akainu vs Aokiji, the Payback War, Rocky Port incident, Weevil vs WB remnants and so on and I'm starting to lose all hope that we will ever see those either.
After how Oda handled Kaido and Zoro at Wano, I'm really worried for other characters now too, Oda said he was gonna draw all of the mysteries of OP in this final saga recently but I don't believe he will, even if he wants or tries to tbh. Since Blackbeard was recruited by WB at a young age, childhood or so and we know Roger and Rayleigh
found Shanks as a baby thanks to Film Red and its presumably the same with Buggy too, as in they
probs found him as a baby too, from Gods Valley or w/e.
Since Shanks and BB have both been part of their respective crews since childhood too, same with Buggy too, it really limits their potential backstories imo unless some important, character/mentality or personality or w/e definining moments happened to them as they grew up on these crews and sailed with them, which by all means should have done ofc but even then, I feel its a convenient cop out to giving them unique, nuanced backstories and just a cheat/shortcut way to write them.
I really wanted to know Akainus and Fujitoras backstories badly too, I dont care about Green Bull after how one-note he has been so far, Kizaru intriguies me and I'd love to know more about Aokiji too but I fear they're barely gonna get anything, especially anyone bar Akainu and Fujitora at best.
Blackbeard is the one who fascinates me the most too, theres so much I want and need to know about him, but him being part of WBs crew since childhood or so really bothers me so much. Especially with how little we know about his time in WBs crew and thus how and why he could betray WB so brutally after being raised as one of his sons for most of his life now, from childhood, well into adulthood too and thus for decades now.
The Yami Yami was also called the most evil DF by Sengoku, or the Gorosei or someone at least anyway and I wonder if somehow it could be a Zoan or have a will of its own anyway somehow and thus I want to know if sought out Blackbeard deliberately, like the Devil themselves trying to entice him, to make a deal with him or something.
I do hope you're right though, I'm just so burned and skeptical now, I really want the best for various characters included Kurohigachad/Blackbeard, Akainu, Fujitora etc and I really hope Oda doesn't drop the ball with them, I'm still suffering hard over Zoro, Kaido, Big Mom etc lol.
I guess its the Japanese sense of humour since we've had Naruto turning into a girl and it being weaponised as a gag and thus sexually too lol. Ranma 1/2 had the whole main storyline of Ranma turning into a girl and hating it too, at least early on anyway.
I can't think of any other examples but it would be very typical Japan of them to think of it as a negative unfortunately. I just wanted to slander Oda further and expose his sexism more too.

Hmm it might, but most likely Friday morning? Maybe tomorrow night if we're lucky? We could have an early release potentially, more likely a rough translation/scans with translation I mean as we did last chapter, way before TCBs came out.
Given we have raws and full summary though, we could get it tomorrow sometime but I don't want to get your hopes up for nothing ofc lol.
Someone else can probably give you a better answer though ofc.
