He's not dead
For the people who say he has no role to play, I disagree
The whole idea of "Hating on Korozumi child" should actually come into play at some point... I'm not asking for orochi to be forgiven, I'm asking for the IDEALS itself to be addressed, which is what lead to both of "Orochi/Kanjuro" to be messed up in the head
Oda just killing both of them, without eventually addressing the issue is a completely bad way to resolve that story...
They can punish orochi/execute him later, HOWEVER, the issue of Wano people, just attacking innocent children, persecuting them just for their lineage is SO IMPORTANT to be addressed and for Wano civilians to realize that their deeds were fucking atrocious...
Oda killing that bloodline, and just ignoring it will be completely FUCKED UP storywise, from oda's point of view... cause he basically will be GOING AGAINST everything he stood for during:
- Ace hunted for his bloodline
- Robin hunted for her Bloodline
- Rebecca and her bloodline
and so on from examples where Oda's ideals stand for "everyone is their own self, and you canot judge someone from their blood parents/ancestor"
Eliminating the ONLY 2 Korozomi like that is Oda escaping from trying to resolve that issue, and it's him not trying to put ANY FAULT on what the civilians did in Orochi/Kanjuro childhood
