Oden's macho energy is jumping off every page. The build-up for his story has been warranted. It also seems that Oda really enjoys drawing him.

Spoiler: Oden Badass Panels

The efficiency of packing this volume of information and lore into only 13 pages is also very impressive. Even though it was only a small scene for each scabbard, I didn't feel they were necessarily short-changed.

I also have to say that Ashura's design grew on me. He looks like a true beast here

Spoiler: Ashura

The possibility of the traitor being one of the scabbards decreases with every chapter in my opinion. This panel seems to build too much positive emotional baggage to think Oda would go back on it.

Spoiler

It was good to see Onimaru and Ushimaru. Also tell me Orochi doesn't have the most punch-able face in the series other than the celestial dragons :mad:

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Pretty good chapter, considering it was short. I liked how each retainer was recruited. Likewise, Ashura Doji is undisputably the strongest of the Red Scabbards now. And I love how Shiki was shown equally with the Yonkou.

 

[Red Dog]

Oden is chad luffy lol

 

[Ganja userr]

Amazing chapter. the flashback sped but quite a bit in this chapter/

Orochi is a little bitch even at a young age, kinda seemed like yasuie was suspecting him but didnt say anything.

Glad oda finally made the connection between izo and okiku

Man oden at age 18 was a god damn beast, but lets give some props to douji here as well.

Man i cant wait for the info on the rocks. It seems like one of person in there is shiki or am i seeing things lol

Cant wat for next weeks chapter

 

[Ena]

I wonder if Oda has any plans for Shiki (in canon)

 

[Uncle Van]

Pretty interesting that Oda randomly said that Rocks started recruiting 33 years ago. Seeing how Oden sailed with both Roger and WB, WB could be appearing soon. Izo, Nekk and Inu went with WB as well.

 

[ShadyOjiro]

Ummm the DF stealing by Orochi was fake?

Anyways I want to know who are those 2 alongside BM,WB and Kaido.

 

[Shura]

wow...nice chapter....I thought it would be boring but while I reading, I really felt the journey of Oden and his exploits...nice way to move forward without feeling rushed...

Shutenmaru is the strongest of the scabbards....

Who is that fifth person along with WB/BigMom/Kaido/Shiki??

Yasu already started suspecting Orochi.....there is nothing in the chapter about the spoiler of "Orochi stealing the devil fruit or money"....

It may be that Oden is the first mate of WB before Marco and others...

Overall it is a great chapter....

One is Shiki...no idea about the other one

 

[Kusanagi Kyo]

Oden vs Ashura off paneled... good chapter anyway.

 

[Rmstorm]

Oden is chad luffy lol

He reminds me of Pre timeskip Luffy. The Luffy who gave zero fucks.

The Luffy who was about equality that smacked Vivi. The Luffy who killed people in Impel down, and Ennies Lobby.

The luffy who was smart. The Luffy who released prisoners.


Post timeskip Luffy would never do that. He too good. He is also more "shounen".

 

[sanjikun]

Ashura Doji is undisputably the strongest of the Red Scabbards now

Shutenmaru is the strongest of the scabbards....

No. He WAS the strongest, but Denjiro was a kid (12-13?). The amount of hype Denjiro has around him, he's likely the strongest and I bet it's Kyoshiro.

I'd go so far as to say Kyoshiro is the strongest Samurai alive.

 

[Topi Jerami]

Pretty good chapter, the pace is faster now and Oden doesn't spam open border speech anymore.

The numbers of Scabbards in the flashback don't match up though with the famous "Oden and his 9 red scabbards". With Izo being there, and let's assume all of Kawamatsu, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi will join the party next chapter, it will be 10 scabbards instead of 9.
So will Izo leave the group early to join Whitebeard or actually something else will happen?

You know this is bullshit right?

Denjiro's biggest hype is that he is the last Scabbard to be revealed . but Ashura has more hype than him ( most dangerous criminal in most dangerous area in Wano , called monster/beast several times , placed in the middle besides Denjiro and Kawamatsu , which could be like how Akainu was always in the middle besides Aokiji and Kizaru in Marineford )

also Ashura has more feats ( blitzed Jack , pushed Oden pretty far )

What hype does Denjiro have above Ashura Doji exactly? Even the one panel that is Denjiro and Kawamatsu's sole claim to fame, has Ashura Doji smack dab in the middle

Spoiler

I mean it's not impossible, but where exactly is this special hype? If anything only Ashura Doji has constantly separated himself from the rest.

 

[JerAx]

oda, that shimotsuki ushimaru actually dressed like zoro.....
what are you trying to imply odaaaaaa..

 

[Topi Jerami]

Denjiro will do something in the later flashback. So far he only acts as a young fanboy.
But to end up being addressed at same level with Ashura (and Kawamatsu). As if Kinemon knows himself that he is weaker than those 3 but just from the flashback so far it seems that Kin was still above Denjiro.

 

[Blackbeard]

Good chapter.

6 years passed now. we will see the Rocks pirates interfering with Wano soon.

 

[Topi Jerami]

also Ashura has more feats ( blitzed Jack , pushed Oden pretty far )

Well that image was from Kinemon's perspective who travelled through time 20 years.
20 years ago Ashura was still stronger than Denjiro or other scabbards and that's what is in Kinemon's memory.
