Very likely considering the past instances.

Sorry, I thought you saying "their backstory in SBS" meant that. It will probably just their past occupation and maybe some extra info.
Probably:
Where they’re from
What their roles were
When they got their fruits
Why Fujitora blinded himself
Why Ryokugyu has a tattoo

The stuff that doesn’t matter to the plot but just is cool stuff to know about the characters.

I don't think so. Definitely too much for future characters.
I think It will be like "Fuji grow up in a dojo with Wano people and over the years became (idk) a swordsman that went around helping people (or anyway some Zatoichi reference)".

Oda has never been too specific or long in SBS and I don't think he'll start now.
We are getting 2, max 3 phrases each.

However, I am still hyped.

I mean the kid backstory was pretty specific. And Fuji and Ryo are current characters they’re not some future characters they’re here their backstories been alluded to a few times now.

True, but even then It was just some very broad backstory and all regarding the time before he was even a pirate.

I think he'll reveal someting but the bulk of It, in particular the "mysteries" that were alluded about them, will be reserved for when their time will come.

I just don’t see a reason to reserve the mysteries. Fuji and Ryo aren’t exactly Sakazuki level important to the story

They are not, but they will have their role, or directly against the mugi (and then and FB about them Is 100%) or still having their role during the final war, with Fuji maybe rebelling against the WG.
They are big players and so will have their role.

If not, Oda could have revealed why of Ryo's Tattoo, for example, when there was the SBS about It. No point in postponing It in another SBS shortly after.

I haven't seen the backstories themselves yet but I find it a little funny his backstory got revealed in a SBS
I remember when Admiral fans told us to overlook GB’s garbage character writing in Wano because his super sad backstory would instantly make him a better character than Kaido and Meme when it’s revealed. Well it turns out that he’s only getting a 1 paragraph backstory in the SBS, which only like 2% of fans read anyways. Meanwhile, Meme got a good, three chapter long backstory in the actual manga, and even Kaido got at least a half chapter long backstory even if it was trash
 
#54
Kaido is fleshed out in Yamato's and Oden's flashbacks
Also his own

Greenbull, Kizaru, Fuji aren't gonna be involved this much in people's flashbacks and won't get half a chapter or chapters for their backstories
Even Kuzan won't get it

Really don't get why this country size wishful (?) thinking that Oda Is revealing ALL their backstory in an SBS.

I think Kuzan may be the exception here. When Garp gets executed because of his undercover actions and when he finally comes clean and backstabs BB, we are bound to get an extensive look into his past, his decisions after the fight with Akainu, and whatever debt he might feel toward Ohara/Robin.

Akainu as well may get a few pages if indeed he was mates with Dragon, before he left the Marines.

You don't need more than a page to explain why the Marine corruption led Fuji to blind himself, and GB's double-suicide tattoo is quite self-explanatory: he loved a woman he was ready to give his life for, and she probably betrayed him (might be a parallel to Imu/Lili).

Again what's there to overlook, we love his character, the last thing I would want is him being changed into some normie nice-guy like Shanks. Him being an extremist is the entire appeal
:milaugh:

Any backstory he happens to get is cherries on the cake

Yeah so Ryokugyu has had like 3 chapters where his face is shown and is already sparked more controversy, more passion from the community than Meme or Kaido have. Legitimately I don't think any character has received as much backlash and hatred as an antagonist lol

I wouldn't change a single thing about his character right now and it is a win-win whether Ryokugyu becomes good or if he stays evil
 
#60
Admiral backstories in an SBS :ihaha:

So much for Ryokugyu’s backstory redeeming his garbage character writing
What are you on about, bozo?

This is standard SBS shit that he did the same as to warlords.
He's gonna draw child versions of them and say what was their job before joining the navy.

Did your anus get all excited from the possibility of your clowns yonko not being the only 1 note villains?
:risitameh:
