Apoo would be more trouble than he's worth to Kiddo (i.e Kiddo would have to give it his all)

Didnt Izo dip out for 2 decades to be with WB instead of coming back?
I call it even Stevens

Pride being a pirate's downfall seems appropriate

I dont think Ashura got that much hype. His fame claim was getting the better of Jack (aka Jack-shit). He & Kanjuro felt like the sacrificial lambs, but then Kanjuro went & got cool

- Kid and Apoo i completely agree, maybe they all realized Apoo is just an unapologetic opportunist and decided to not bother with him anymore, just like Drake.

- I really doubt Kiku didn't mourn and bury her brother during the 1 week timeskip that happened, but it sucks that Oda is just skipping emotional scenes like that.

- With Hawkins i think it's a bit more nuanced than that. If we analyze how his fight with Killer ended, there's probably a part of him that regrets having taken the safe route out of fear back when Kaido dropped on them. In this case his "pride" wouldn't mean him being loyal to Kaido but simply a refusal to admit that he might've been wrong even after the tables started to turn on the alliance, like he would've been ashamed to return to Kid's side after throwing him and Killer under the bus.

- Ashura's death was actually pretty emotional if you go back and reread 1008, it's just that after all the fake outs most people just assumed there was no way he would actually die from an explosion. If anything, Izo's death feels way more out of the blue.

Kidd and killer have not forgiven apoo. See the panel properly. Kidd pirates were very surprised that apoo and his pet number came out of nowhere. Kid even called apoo a basterd. There would have been a apoo massacre if apoo didn't throw the newspaper down. Apoo might get his ass beaten either way next chapter if he provided morgan with any false information( heck kid might beat him up anyway)

Why doesn’t Kidd want to kill Apoo anymore? They’re super buddy buddy right now. What changed?
He defeated Apoo's boss.

But yeah; that shouldn't be enough for Kidd, Oda. This is bad writing.
Kiku is taking a nice relaxing sauna while Marco is digging Izo’s grave. Damn, what an awful sibling lmao.
Oda's priorities on full display. He loves that bath scene and desperately wanted a contrast to excuse how weird Yamato being in the men's bath would be. Don't know how I'd solve this to my own satisfaction if I was writing this (maybe space the scenes apart and put Kaku in both?). I'll admit, I cared about the bath scene more than the funeral too. Bad writing anyway Oda.
Soooo Hawkins decided to let himself die because…. pride? That… doesn’t seem like Hawkin’s character…???????
Die if you do, die if you don't? Imagining what Hawkins could do to avoid death that wouldn't superficially seem to hasten it, is a little difficult. That said, I definitely think that he was poorly implemented into this arc. Bad writing all around for him, Oda.
Ashura got all this hype in Act 1 just to die offscreen super underwhelmingly?
I don't think it was as underwhelming as you're implying. That said, it is (at least partially) a waste of a character. Oda has enough of those though, that I think that this writing is actually pretty good.

Oh lol I forgot how Apoo is the reason of Killer being a mess due the smile yet Kidd already forgive him :suresure:
That's what Oda want you to do. Forget the details so the writing has the illusion of being much better than it actually is.

We should reread Wano to pick up on any other writing mistake Loda has made, and to never forget how badly Loda dropped the ball.

Weird that the most inconic death in the raid went to a CP0 agent whose name we don’t know lol

That’s bad news for Sanji if they fight. It’s his first appearance so Oda will try to hype up Greenbull.
he is probably alive because he had a good death only trash or offscreen death are allowed in wano

Kid & Killer got tortured because of Apoo and Oda make them forgive him straight away. :kobeha::kobeha:
LOLDA at its finest :finally:
when kid and killer left roof top they died for me right now oda is just kicking they're death body
probably pudding wiped their memory its not even forgiving they forget what even happened
