The amount of hard pressed, "surefire", head-up-ass comments about fates of characters is ridiculous. Like:
- No, we do not know Kuma's endgame. We dont know if he'll die, nor do we truly know if his memories are entirely gone
- No, we cannot powerscale the Gorosei. He can be weak enough to get jobbed by Kuma or strong enough where he doesnt even lose this arc.
- We cannot assume Kizaru is done or a complete turncoat. He is consciously talking and even is sitting up this chapter.
- We dont even know how the Ancient Robot will factor into the arc, which could very well be used as a stalling mechanism for wither Kizaru or Saturn.
- We dont know how the Mother Flame side of this arc will even pan out and changes things, right now, we are fixated on the Kuma side.
This is the same shit I told people about being so confident in Luffy saving Bonney immediately: you didnt know about unknown factors like Kuma and the Robot, and lo and behold Kuma saved Bonney, contrary to that belief. It just makes you look like an ass when you are wrong (which the mindset clearly seems to not be changing after this chapter and they are doubling down on)
