She most certainely is. Though I do suspect and fear that O-Lin was just a prologue foreshadowing another more permanent mind revert to her original personality.
Of course she survived, what did you expect ?
She's a Yonko and monster of durability and endurance. It will take a far more powerful and impressive explosion or attack to get rid of her. And she's not going to die anyway.
It's just too obvious that Big Mom isn't knocked out or done for and she'll come back soon enough if Oda doesn't drag the thing on purpose.
And I am still 100 % certain that she'll return to Elbaf in the future.
I too am afraid of seeing Big Mom returning but not as herself but as O-Lin once again, and above all of her having a permanent mind swap this time soon.
I don't think that I have seen an antagonist and character being held back and mistreated so much by his/her own author that Big Mom is.
It's very cringeworthy and disappointing to say the least.
I don't think even Fairy Tale villains are written and treated that way.
Kid could have been like Magneto or even Misaka in his use of his powers, it's really sad and disappointing to see his powers being underdevelopped and underused like that.
Oda always have had a problem with sizes and heights and is frequently inconsistent with them as seen with Moria, Kaido and Big Mom often being taller and bigger than they are supposed to be or with Wadatsumi or the Yeti Cool Brothers being supposed to be bigger than Oars even if they are...
Kid never was on Luffy's level, safe perhaps before the timeskip.
It has been glaringly obvious since Dressrosa that the Supernovas would never be a true competition for Luffy.
WCI was the nail in the coffin and Wano is the laughing over the grave.
They have so much potential but theirs is far from exploited as it should be, just like the rest of the Big Mom Pirates' abilities and Kid's magnetism.
It's really telling something about Oda's talent as using and treating Emperors as well as female characters right that Raizo vs Fuku is a much more exciting and interesting fight than Law and Kid vs Big Mom.
As if an explosion of that caliber is enough to get rid of Big Mom, she's coming back later, it's just a very lame excuse to make disappear for some time just like the waterfall is a very lazy excuse to keep her crew out of Wano when they could have easely crossed it a long time ago just by...
