Hiyori is definitely getting popular in Japan. Do you think the marketing team or the editor would try to persuade Oda to replace Tashigi as Zoro's love interest ?
Ok, Act 2 overview. With Act 1, I mentioned how it was a microcosm of the overall Wano narrative and conflict. Act 2 serves to set up the true conflict.
950-952. The epilogue phase of Act 2 begins, as the main events, Yasu's execution and the Udon plot, have concluded. We get updates on all the major players, and resolution for some run on subplots.
Chapters 941 - 945. Probably the strongest stretch of chapters for Act 2. Events move at an effortless pace, emotions run high, and there is a sense of dread when Orochi's forces attempt to apprehend the Strawhats after they are discovered.
Chapters 938-940. These set of chapters are relatively slow and filled with a ton of exposition. For Hiyori, Luffy's new armament application, the Yakuza bosses, and Yasu.
I noticed a cool distinction between Hyogoro and Orochi after 934. Upon his introduction, Orochi was greeted to a large pile of food. He was very picky as to what he would eat. Anything he didn't like, he'd throw away.
The Shogun's banquet is an underrated part of Act 2. Orochi's true nature and reputation are out in full during these sets of chapters. He's the direct antithesis of a true leader. He inspires no one, and lives under the shadow of another.
The ushimitsu kozo mystery is quite obvious in hindsight. Almost right after the chapter Komurasaki is introduced and scammed all those men of their money, we learn that the ushimitsu kozo visited Ebisu town last night.
