Lmao dude half of these are already beyond the point of no return unless Zolo can magically teleport back in time and gather the samurai or magically bring Orochi back to life to avenge Yasui or being paralleled with Ryuma when Luffy already got that honor or have his past revealed when Oda literally confirmed in an SBS he has zero interest in exploring the Shimotsuki.
Every character who got their own arc (Nami, Robin, Sanji) were relevant throughout their whole arc, they didn't suddenly become plot relevant at the end. Stop dreaming already.
Gathering the samurai can literally happen by the end of this arc by killing kaido and replicating ryuma’s feat over the capital. Zoro will finally be seen with the reverence he deserves, thus the samurai will want to follow him into future battles when given the chance too.
Avenging Yasuie will happen by killing Kaido. Zoro’s goal switched from orochi to kaido a long time ago. Dealing with the one who is really the threat outweighs that.
Forging Enma into a black blade this arc is a set in stone event, and it will happen soon, my prediction is in 10 or so chapters. Maybe sooner. But considering all the other plot lines left open for this arc that timeframe
could be extended further.
Slicing kaido to pieces is zkk, and that will happen when it happens later this arc. As long as we are in wano there is no exact chapter number it needs to happen by. Although I’ve seen some interesting guesses that are still in play.
Shimotsuki connection is basically implied at this point via kawamatsu and hyogoro brief discussion. It will be when all of wano sees kaido’s death, people will start noticing Zoro’s resemblance to ushimaru and by extension ryuma and finally make the connection. Possibly Yamato will be the one to point it out or the other two I previously mentioned.
Zoro being paralleled with ryuma has been happening for a while now. It’s just zkk will be the culmination of it all. It will be the birth of the new ryuma. Luffy isn’t a
samurai, kaido didn’t recognize him as the monster samurai, he only
saw him as this gen’s joyboy who could
defeat him, not
kill him. The people just
believe kaido is down for good. Doesn’t mean he is.
And finally visiting ryuma’s grave will happen after current events and zkk.
So like I said, your celebrating prematurely.
Kaido and big mom returning is obvious. The moment they come back is the moment your anti zkk movement gets the beerus treatment.
