Daily reminder that Ashura, Inu and Kiku will die.



If Oda actually killed off Kiku, I would be very mad. The arm thing is already bad enough... I have suspected Ashura of being a death seeker, him losing all his men and having that worn out, weary, depressed even attitude. I really feel sorry for him, he really must have suffered for all those years...

Inu or Neko i have suspected will die and Inu seems more likely personally. But given Oda's track record, I doubt any of them will die, even Ashura with his "death" recently. We got such an ugly fakeout with Hyogoro and Pound before.
I'll wait and see where this Scabbards deal goes, but so far, I'm not a fan of bringing them back after Kaido beat them. They are taking so much time away from the Straw Hats in what is their most important battles, and they aren't adding anything of note. They are just providing empty exposition. If it's to deal with Kanjuro, you didn't need that many of them around. Kin, at best with Kiku, would've been enough.
Also agree with this whole heartedly. As much as I like Kiku, we waited years to see the SHs truly together again and in such a big, important arc especially. There was so much build up for their return, hype for them to show off and kick ass again and they're become side characters now.
We've not seen some of the SHs in ages now and I think it was months before we saw Sanji again recently?

Same applies to Sasaki, Who's Who, Black Maria and so on, they almost feel non-existent now! Never mind the other 5 numbers we were supposed to see too?
I was expecting major SH 1v1s for this arc, with chapters dedicated to each and new haki blooms for other SHs sigh, I was so naive...
