Interestingly, most of those responses were directed at me when I posted this theory to Reddit. And yeah, there are a lot of people who are really vocally negative about Monet, but I have a hard time believing that they're the majority. I don't imagine they're a minority either, but I think it's...

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but it sounds like you're asking why there's never been an SBS directly asking about Monet's situation. I think you were on the right track: "he prefers not to answer those types of questions." Oda has answered questions that have hinted at future...

I'm assuming you're referring to the idea that Wano is Monet's last chance to come back, which seems to have been a fairly popular idea lately. The thing about storytelling is that, as I've said many times, anything is possible. Oda can do whatever he wants, including bringing back a character...

I noticed that little bit hidden underneath the bottom-most object too, but I wasn't sure if it should be counted. I double-checked the full-color version, and sure enough, it wasn't removed and was given the same color as the object it's next to, so perhaps it was indeed intended to be a...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there only seven celestial objects surrounding the Earth there? I do like the idea that the set of circles on the Kozuki insignia represents those objects, especially since it doesn't seem to incorporate any moon imagery despite being effectively named...

I believe I talked fairly extensively about Sugar in Chapter 3.04, with her explicitly seeking out Monet to either try to free Doflamingo or just to live as sisters again like they used to. I won't summarize the whole thing here since it's a lot to cover, but that's the bulk of where I discussed...

I think this is the first time I've heard someone use the possibility of Monet being caught by Shinokuni as a positive argument. I've considered it from the perspective that it would result in her being found by Brownbeard, but never that it would preserve her wounded body long enough to get...

Ah, I think I see what you're saying here. When we see Caesar unconscious next to the heart, the heart isn't making the ba-dum/dokun sound effect, so it gives the impression that it's not beating. I will say though that while there are panels where disembodied hearts are shown beating, there are...

Interesting, could you please expand on that? I'm not very well versed in Japanese onomatopoeia, so I'm not exactly sure how to tell that's what it's conveying.

I think that's the best response I could possibly ask for. You acknowledge that she could come back based on my logic, but in your opinion, the circumstances are ambiguous enough that the alternative could be justified without making wild leaps in logic. Along the same vein, I acknowledge that...

That's an interesting take. So you're not necessarily arguing that Monet is definitively dead or alive, but that Oda has written the scenario in such a way that he can decide later and justify that decision with a canon explanation retroactively?

Now there is an argument! Caesar, not wanting to impede the blood flow that would kill Smoker, removes the shrapnel and plunges it into the ground in what he thinks is a final show of victory before passing out. It certainly seems like something he would do! Of course, it doesn't answer the...

The point is that the shrapnel, which should by all logic be embedded in the heart, is not embedded in the heart. There is a sequence of events there that Oda did not show us for whatever reason. Furthermore, plenty of characters go through similar if not significantly more grievous injuries...

I will concede that Oda is human and makes mistakes. After Jozu lost his arm during the Marineford War, Oda later drew him with both arms, misleading fans to believe that Jozu's diamond Devil Fruit was a Logia. However, Oda realized his mistake and removed the arm in the tankobon version of that...

Perhaps, but as I said earlier, "when Monet will come back" is not the question we are posing in this thread. Do you have any thoughts on why Oda would draw Monet's heart intact if he didn't intend for her to be alive?

This is a perfectly valid stance to take. My theory that Monet is going to be important and join the crew is my interpretation of the subtle background elements that Oda put in her various panels and to justify why it's taken so long for her to return. I have difficulty seeing Monet's return...

In case anyone's interested, I've publicly posed the question of how non-Monet fans can explain away Monet's heart being intact. https://worstgen.alwaysdata.net/forum/threads/why-did-oda-draw-monets-heart-intact.12398/ Thus far only a couple of people have responded, but their responses have...

May I ask what explosion you're referring to? Rereading the chapters following Monet's supposed death, I couldn't find a single explosion on Punk Hazard at all. In fact, it would be extremely troubling if there were an explosion that could have killed Monet because said explosion would also...

So two people have said brutality, and while I appreciate that it's an actual explanation rather than simply dismissing the idea altogether, I really don't think it holds up. For one, if he were worried about depicting something brutal, he wouldn't have shown the act of Caesar stabbing the...

For the sake of this thread, we're already operating under the assumption that she's dead. The problem is that the heart's condition contradicts that idea. With that in mind, what do you feel explains why her heart isn't skewered?
