The fact that Kanjuro ended up being arguably the most dangerous Scabbard is so funny yet sad to me.
I had such high hopes for Izou and Denjiro. Franky wouldn't have even had to fight Sasaki if Denjiro had just fucking killed the dude, but, NOOOOOOOOO, that would make sense. Instead, why not let Denjiro kill steal from Hiyori to make women look weak! Peak fiction!
I just knew Stussy was going to get written out of Egghead in a way that would piss me off, too. Carrot getting her glory stolen by Neku.
Gve me Neku and Inu vs Awakened Jack, Sanji and Kawamatsu vs Awakened Queen, Zoro and Denjiro vs Awakened King, Izo and Usopp vs CP0, Kiku dies protecting Izou from Kaido, Asura dies protecting the Scabbards from Kanjuro, but takes Kanjuro down in the process.
Kinemon holds off Kaido when Luffy is "dead" after Guernica, then gets reinforcements from Yamato, who, rather than running after bombs, was freezing off parts of Onigashima to slow the spread of the fire and give escapes lanes to people.
As Kinemon is about to die, and Yamato takes a serious blow and shouts, "Please, Luffy! Come back, and free us from Kaido!" Luffy goes Gear 5.
