I doubt the anime Team put that together before the fans did because later on in the Harald flashback he blatantly calls Neptunes unborn Mosa as an affectionate joke.
Pretty sure Elbaph arc was in post production by time that was revealed.
To add to your point about Shriahoshi being Mosa, the crew has a standing pinky promise to meet her again in the surface world if i remember correctly. It just fits to neatly not to mean anything.
I like how Oda now subtlety teasing with Gunko after confirming Loki can change his size.
Someone mention we met Loki's crewmembers? I thought he just left with the remains of the royal guard who survived Harald's rampage. If he had an official crew I have no doubt he'd be branded a pirate no...
I also wanna point out, Loki joining the crew can indeally counter Kuzan joining Blackbeard.
Its not even about him fighting SanJuan Wolf directly, even though esthetically they'll be visually matched up on panels because of symmetry.
The Kuzan vs Loki pairing cancel eachother out in theory...
Loki is the first legit new crewmember character since Jinbe.
Luffy genuinely asked him not like a gag way or even in the are you coming with us way after we bonded on this journey like Yamato,Kin, Momo and yes even Vivi to a certain extent.
He's genuinely intrigued by Loki's character...
With how quick Vegapunk pulled out an improvised buff for Franky through casual conversation tells us that any issue can be addressed scientifically through this character.
If Oda wants Loki on the ship, chances are he will be.
Oda already playing the semantics size game. Loki and Ragnir dont seem as massive next to a deflated Luffy all of a sudden.
Also, it's good to see there's drawbacks to the Nidhogg devil fruit. It's great against other big targets, but not exactly the end all be all against smaller compact...
Loki is gonna be Luffy's Moon Issac Jr. He basically sacked an entire village of Giants as a teenager.
War God title is the hint. Tactical Officer, watch.
Yamato was persistent about joining until Luffy caved. Luffy has actively recruited Loki before our very eyes, something he hasn't done...
I think if Yamato joined she'd be apprentice like Kaido under Rocks. I mean think about it, she has no fame, feats or acclaim on the grandline or any of the four blues. She's essentially a super rookie by paradise-new world standards.
I feel like there's subtle implications in Jarul's dialogue that the Nidhogg fruit can control his size. But it is a translation, its just funny Oda keeps flirting with it.
The Old Legend doesn't have any barring on Loki's character at present if anything what Oda has established in parallel...
I can see Loki at best being Tatical Officer isn't out of the question. Zoro being First Mate is character development.
Narratively it under cuts his dream if he's known more as Luffy's First Mate, befor3 becoming WSS.
It amazes me how many people in the Fandom still debate this. Im glad Matt...
