In both Chinese and Japanese, "kirin" can refer to a mythical creature called a qilin (麒麟) in Chinese. However, in Japanese, "kirin" (キリン) has also come to be used for giraffes. This confusion stems from the resemblance between certain depictions of the qilin and the appearance of giraffes.
Elaboration:
Qilin (麒麟) in Chinese:
The qilin is a mythical composite creature in Chinese culture, often depicted as a deer-like animal with an ox's tail, and sometimes with horns or a single horn. It is considered a symbol of good fortune and prosperity.
Kirin (キリン) in Japanese:
While the qilin is a mythical creature, the Japanese word "kirin" (キリン) has also come to mean giraffe. This is because early Japanese observers of giraffes were struck by their resemblance to the qilin, particularly their long necks, spotted patterns, and overall form.
The Connection:
The Japanese word "kirin" (キリン) for giraffe is derived from the Chinese characters for qilin (麒麟), reflecting the cultural exchange and the initial confusion between the mythical beast and the real animal.
Good thing Kaku never saw this lmao, even though this was for Stussy too ironically lmao. And given what Stussy did to her and Lucci too, hmmmmm.....
There were more antagonists in Wano and most of them sucked
Kaido was boring, Big Mom was interesting in WCI but she was in Kaido’s shadow the whole arc, King is nearly emotionless and boring, Jack sucks so much his hybrid pretty much got offscreened, most of the Tobiroppo suck outside of pretty much just Ulti, no one cares about the ninjas, etc
I’ll give you WCI (BMP) and Egghead (Kizaru, Lucci, Saturn was ok) but Wano is where I draw the line
Law is way more savvy and connected than we realize lol
He was the first one to recognize Rayleigh in sabaody
Has clear connections with Gaben aka flame scar man
Our boy is connected to the Pirate King's crew.
My theory is, during the time skip, he went searching for poneglyphs and reached Lode star. There he met with Gaben. Gaben said it ain't time yet and turned him away. So he went back and focused on his goal at that time which was defeating Doffy.

I don't know why they just assumed he wouldn't appear in Elbaf lol it was either him or Shiki and it being him was more reasonable tbh
Though I would have also really liked to see Shiki
But Oda seemed to forget Shiki even exists

Oda didnt forget, he just clearly stated he doesnt like to use shiki because they gave him a fruit he doesnt want in the story but he cant retcon it now

The Holy Knights are by far the worst and least interesting antagonistic group introduced in OP so far. Bring back commanders cause they were better by a long shot. They couldn't be better Revo matchups.
It was a fucking mistake giving them regen, now they are gonna be punching bags for the strawhats until the weakness of their regen is discovered and then it depends whether they can restore the tension or are getting wrecked by the strawhats.
