I think that no matter what Oda does with the Giants, he will hype them up
We have seen how strong Kuma is and how he hyped his Buccaneer blood, I can't even imagine what he will do with Giants
I can expect from Giants to have aCoA yeah, it would be fitting
Aye I'm hoping for some epic lore/worldbuilding reveals from them, maybe Oda even doing his own version of Valhalla, the Norse Gods in general, Mjolnir and thus Thor and Odin, since we have "Loki" now too ofc.
Aye thats a great point abou Buccaneers too. Some people think the likes of Whitebeard and Big Mom are half Buccanneer too but I've felt they are half giant for a VERY long time now too. Kaido is an "ancient giant" technically, maybe half ancient giant, half human or so and Oars and Jr are the "true ancient giants"?
I pray Oda is gonna give the giants some kind of massive redemption and finally stop the downplay. They probably won't be better than the Scabbards but the Scabbards are a little underrated too imo.
That moment with Hajrudin vs Machvise is underrated/slept on too imo, Hajrudin was very impressive there for me and Dorry and Broggys destructive power and scale is underestimated as well by a lot of people. Big Mom even copied their technique and then she did a superior version of it with Kaido too ofc.
I really hope we get some top tier giants and that Loki isnt some kind of Spandom/Orochi 2.0. I fear he will be. Another goofy, ridiculous, weak villain when I want him to be cunning and powerful ideally or at least very cunning or powerful, one of those at least and not too goofy but we all know Oda is gonna be as goofy as possible now especially ofc.
Would be dope if Usopp gets a big moment of outsmarting Loki too, becoming the hero of the giants that way too, one supreme trickster vs another lol. This is assuming Loki will be a villain or antagonistic too ofc.
I am so itching to get to Elbaf now, its like how I felt waiting for Wano to start as well as WCI the first Yonko arc. The anticipation is unbearable despite knowing how Oda is gonna write it with his formulas/patterns too lol.
