I guess that would have worked true yeah
I dont know what oda was going for its difficult with such stuff to get the intent, i wonder if his plans changed
If you remember zunesha was also there but also just fucked off then, it was weird, it was like he needed a "successful" gear 5 there initially, you know what i mean?
But given i cant look into odas head and everything equal i think your alternative from a tension point would have worked better
