- Luffy seeing the lanterns of Wano folk that made their way up, blown by the wind over to Onigashima. That would be a pretty sweet way for Luffy's will to get restored as he sees them and the guardian diety of Wano (as Hyo called him) responds to the people's wishes.
- After Law's extend-o sword, Big Mom blasted down a hole, Luffy in a Boro Breath, I want every chapter to send something down Onigashima that makes Yamato panic and take cover.
- Brilliant to use the stiffness of Tekkai to lock Luffy's arm/shoulder in place so he couldn't punch. Post-TS it's seen as a hindrance because they're doing Vergo armor except they can't move their bodies, only for that actually be a benefit in a world class battle.
- The shadow organization of Cipher Pol lurking in the background during Dressrosa, WCI and Wano as a third party, stealthily intervening when people least expect them to pick a winner between the fighting factions. It's exactly the work of secret agents in real life and a beautiful culmination of their purpose in getting involved with pirates all these arcs.
You have to feel for the chief here. X-Drake breaks rank and moves between organizations whether marine, pirate, Tobiroppo or captain of Sword (as he impales the WG's shield with a sword) all in the name of pursuing his justice. CP0 enjoy no such freedom and just follow orders. Their belief, their justice is what the WG says that day. When one day they're told to get in between Kaido and Luffy's fight, you freaking bet he wishes he could just throw it all away and turn traitor like Drake.
So many funny Kaidos this chapter. Skinny Kaido. Extra bulky Kaido. Culverin Kaido. Orochi face Kaido. Jinbe nose Kaido. It goes unnoticed when the focus is his drunken states, but he's competing with Chopper without a Rumble Ball. The Zoan master is only missing Awakening. The partial hybrid and partial dragon Kaido that bit Luffy is a lovely surprise. It would be sick if he could pull off a move taking advantage of its unique attributes like gaining momentum by flying then striking Luffy with the club.
Seen like 5 different translations of the chapter title. It must be a tricky one, but I get the gist now. Kaido mocks the loser samurai who die pitiful deaths in the name of honor or maintaining peace. The irony is that he himself wishes he could enjoy an honorable uninterrupted 1v1 from beginning to end. "I would have beaten Oden/Luffy if Higurashi/CP0 didn't jump in!" is a thought that now contradicts Kaido's own words because a true winner shouldn't need excuses/rationalizations/epithets. Then what does make him? Kaido, the man who feels no satisfaction being called the World's Strongest because he knows it was one cheap win after another all the way to the top.
People including myself didn't expect CP0 to pull off mission impossible and cause a Katakuri + Flampe situation to reoccur, but we're here. It's now an invaluable opportunity for Oda to use this to contrast Kaido and Katakuri, Luffy then Vs Luffy now, and the fate of CP0/Flampe. The worst part is that Luffy is not even dead, Bowler Hat HAS to stay behind with a furious Kaido and finish the job.
