Speculations Sawyer7mage theorizes that Kuzan was made the 10th captain because Oda changed his mind about the 10th Strawhat

[NAMELESS]

Just watched his vid, makes no sense to me. Oda had the idea of the 10 captains since Dressrosa, why would he scrap a mysterious 10th member in favor of Aokiji just a couple of chapters prior to the 10th finally being revealed, when explaining why Aokiji joined requires just as much panel time if not more? And to me its pretty clear that the idea that Oda decided to scrap a bunch of things during his 1 month break is nonsense because he added a bunch of new subplots since then like this raid on Beehive, Law and Kid's defeat, Cross guild as a whole and so on. At best Oda just rearranged how things would play out, I see no reason to belive he outright scrapped ideas, especially in this case since the idea of the final SH crew having 10 people+Luffy has been a thing since chapter 1, and BB having 10 to me is just a byproduct of Teach being an "evil Luffy"

The way he treated Yamato seems like he scrapped her joining the crew.

Yamato was an empty character long before that. He gave up on her joining when he gave up on giving her an actual character arc

Why? He still added a flashback reinforcing that she was just pretending and still wants to join. And even then, he already had Greenbull pulling up BEFORE the break, and the idea of outside forces wanting to invade Wano was established during the raid, those dont feel like last minute changes to me

That too,there wasn't much point to her.

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

Strawhats are not heading back to Wano lmao. When has Oda ever had the Straw Hats backtrack? This just sounds like wild cope.

It's hard cope from Yamato and Tama fans

yeah,but she was so excited to explore the outside world.Deciding to explore Wano after being captive there for 28 years sounds like bull.

IIRC One Piece chapter release is 3 chapters behind his drawing schedule. Meaning he's right now working on chapter 1085.

 

[ZenZu]

I can actually believe this given how big of a troll the twist with Yamato not joining was.

Tons of potential and none of it realized. I just wanna forget that garbage character ever existed to begin with.

Because it is, its just her excuse to not offend Momo

Yes but the idea is that he did this big rearrenging during the 1 month break, and like I said the idea of Wano being in danger was set up way before that through Momo not opening Wano

He probably knew this break was coming since he was scheduled to take a trip to visit the LA crew. It's not crazy to think he had his mind set up months in advance and then took the break to actually arranged his ideas.

@Random_Kurozumi @Pot Goblin

you've been challenged

I do not know who this person is but after a bit of digging I see that he's a One Piece Theorist YouTuber so I do not care.

Best to take a healthy grain of salt when it comes to these fellas.

 

[Lor D. Coast]

We don't need a youtuber to tell us that no Strawhat is going to fight Kuzan.

 

[NAMELESS]

What if Zoro ends up fighting Kuzan?

Thank god no more Yamato.

Oda: "Here is the next cover story that will focus on Yamato."

While it might just be a theory for now, however Oda making some changes during his 1 month break I do believe is true.

 

[Jew D. Boy]

Imm slurping up sawy7mage now? First morj now this who next?

To quote a wise man,

Good. So these Carrot furries can now shut the fuck up. Fuckin weirdos

 

[Apollo]

Oda changes a lot of stuff in his story, Wano was supposed to introduce the "Lurking Legend" who is the greatest enemy strawhats will face. Wano is over and no lurking legends showed up.

The idea that Oda scrapped a tenth Strawhat/titan captain makes sense, there is no time to develop any such character at this point in the story when we are 1 to 2 islands away from Laughtale.

 

[RecoomeBoom]

I agree with him. That was my first thought as well. There's no reason to tease the 10th titanic captain when Aokiji was shown throughout the mystery of who it could be.

Although I do hope another person joins to fight Aokiji anyway, ahem SMOKER

We saw Oda supposedly scrap the 10th Strawhat jointing after Wano as abruptly… If Oda can scrap a Strawhat joining then he can scrap a random enemy combatant
