If Kiku died instead of Izo:
- More fans are emotionally attached to Kiku than Izo so it will have some readers impact which most fans are crying out
- The Yamato gender BS talks won't happen because Kiku won't be in the bath panel
- Makes more sense because it happened in the hands of Kaido instead of a random CP0
Asura and Izo died sacrificing themselves, because, out of all the Scabbards, they are the ones with the most regrets/ties to death.
Izo:
-Lost Ace and Whitebeard
-Had his crew disband after losing to Black Beard
-Was unable to help his Lord, Oden, and found out about his death from outside sources
Asura:
-Went from being a violent lonely criminal to having a family, only to have it ripped away
-Spent 20 years watching the country his Lord had protected turn into a vile den of drugs and villainy
-After 10 years, many of his remaining friends sailed off to a suicide mission, unable to wait another decade
-Was forced to steal from the people he used to pledge to protect in order to survive
Kiku was sent from the future: she is still so young and has so much to do with her life. Izo and Asura lived long, eventful lives (for this series, anyway). To me, I imagine Izo chilling in the afterlife, taking a bath and laughing with Whitebeard, Ace, and Oden, and it makes me smile
This terrifies me, though, because based on my line of analysis when it comes to Izo and Asura's deaths, Marco is going to die very soon. Probably to Black Beard. I really don't want to see my Pineapple Phoenix boi get sliced up, man.
Just remember by the end of Wano that ya'll wanted a bunch of characters to die.
