So if I've got this right too?...
Zoro is CONFIRMED related to Kuina and Shimotsukis as his grandfather married a Shimotsuki girl
Kuinas mother left a mystery and Zoro's dad died fighting pirates
Zoros mum was a criminals daughter and died of illness
Ushimaru is the younger brother of Zoros grandmother
He is descended from Ryuuma too
Nothing about why Kuina resembles Tashigi and vice versa too?
This explains why Zoro is a "pirate hunter" too I guess. Another reason I mean. I wonder if the criminal that Zoros mum was the child of will be important or not, but given we're getting this via SBS like with Kidds backstory, obviously not actually.
I'm pretty certain Shiki is a scrapped plotline too and I swear some of the Admirals and maybe 1 VA at least were meant to be connected to Wano too but alas.
Fuck man, this is just painful.
Gives Sanji the worst timeskip storyline BY FAR and some very mixed writing up until end of Wano but at least he got his new backstory, the rest of his past and lineage IN THE MANGA unlike Zoro! Zoro got shared parallels with Ryuuma with Godfy Goofy as part of the Luffy Show, and didn't get to face Kaido more, especially in hindsight now that Kaido and Orochi killed some of his actual relatives now and he didnt even avenge Yasuie too, which makes this even worse.
Wano is definitely the worst arc now by far in hindsight, I already thought so but now I'm absolutely certain of it regardless.
Still NOTHING on Black Blades too, despite Ryuuma having one and Wano being the land of Samurai and swordsmanship ffs. But we have an ongoing argument on whether Aramaki has one, so thanks Oda.
