Her introduction should've happened early on in Wano.
I agree. I feel like Udon could have been used to introduce her and it would have made perfect sense for her to briefly be imprisoned there. Could also have Kawamatsu interact with her there or just cut him.
I do believe she is the final member of the SHP but I don't like the fact she was left behind to catch up later. I'm not convinced that worked terribly well with Jinbe, who feels like he's had basically nowhere near enough meaningful interaction or presence among the rest of the crew.
i really have no idea what Oda planning/had planned. I lowkey think he changed his mind on her joining the crew.
Based on little, I think Oda is saving Yamato's return for the time it becomes relevant to explore more about the races, but I'm also not convinced we'll get a whole beside Oni being the descendants of Ancient Giants mixed with humans. It's starting to feel more like she'llbe there to tick one of the boxes from the murals.
yeah i think she'll just show up in the final war and get some panels fighting alongside Wano samurai, probably same thing that King and Katakuri will get(Katakuri representing Pudding imo) I don't really see her being that important even if she should be a big player based soley on strength
Surely the Knights will know who Gaban is. The mfer was there when it went down in God Valley. The entire Rogers crew probably got their big bounties from it.
i do like the theory that Sommers and Killingham fought/met him back then. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a dialogue like "It's the Mountain Eater! He has a bounty over over 3.3 billion!" or something.
He'll get to style on the Knights for a minute and then get jumped because of Colon.
Fortify thy hearts, Waban bros. The hypetooling is coming.
him going out like Garp would be cool but I don't see Oda devoting that much panel time to it. I wouldn't be surprised if the Knights summon other people upon seeing him tbh
