I guess this fits well with oden situation
Did oden make a mistake? Yes...if he wouldn't then there won't be any need of present plot of shs allying with samurais to take wano back which ultimately ties with void century and present story of one piece.
Did this mistake shit on oden character? Nope... From his perspective no...he is shouldering all the responsibility of his actions alone like a leader should.

Oden rejected the help of others...and when he asked it was too late the enemy was too much.
As far as we know Oden wanted to live to open the Wano borders as main point...
I don't say he should not be liked just that people should not turn blind eye.
...some here look like the followers of politicians after they do one good act.
