The chapter is called "花 形"
It's a word Marco uses when Zoro appears in the fight.

花 形 (hanagata) means, in this context (and in the context of traditional theater): the star / main actor.

I'm sorry for the Zorolovers vs. Sanjilovers war, but Oda just called the chapter "the star of the show" on Zoro's return to the fight.

I already feel it.

花 形 also means Ornament, floral motif, flower shape.

This will age as bad as the "Zoro won't fight King" takes................

Seriously, this is candy level stuff........
 
The Tobi Roppo having awakening would be fucking stupid. Ulti and Page 1 are around Luffy's age, and Luffy has had his DF since 7 years old.

There should be 0 reason why they are awakened but Luffy, Law, Kid aren't, unless Zooan awakening is just a worthless free for all. Impel Down beasts were experiments by Vegapunk who can create DFs.

1) Where is the spoiler saying that Marco states that regarding Zoro?

2) That isn't the full title of the chapter, isn't it?

3) Where are you getting from that "hanagata" meaning? It also means things like "rising star", "actors" in plural, etc.

Considering that Zoans are the crappiest DFs Oda might have tried to buff them by making zoan awakening easier...

I hope they don’t have it either, and some of them get up just because of their Ancient Zoan enhanced recovery, but I do hope that all the Calamities have it. I always thought it was weird that Oda had both the All Stars and F6 have Ancient Zoans instead of giving the All Stars Mythical Zoans and the F6 Ancient Zoans in order to show the difference in strength between the groups.

I thought it would make more sense to structure the crew like this:

Kaido: Strongest Zoan Fruit
All Stars: Mythical Zoans
Flying 6: Ancient Zoans
Headliners: Normal Zoans
Gifters: SMILEs

However, maybe Oda is actually going for this:

Kaido: Awakened Mythical Zoan
Yamato (the Ace): Non-Awakened Mythical Zoan
All Stars: Awakened Ancient Zoan
Flying 6: Non-Awakened Ancient Zoan
Headliners/Gifters: SMILEs

This isn’t bad, but I still do think it’s weird that the crew doesn’t have any regular Zoans. Like how do they find 9 Ancient Zoans, but can’t find a single regular Zoan? It would have been cool if Oda gave the Numbers regular Zoans. That really is a missed opportunity to be honest. I can only imagine how cool and insane Hybrid Zoan Ancient Giants would look

Welcome to the House of Hope
Wasn't it more "I know I can't win but Luffy will" and is now keeping him busy until Luffy is back?
Now. But that's because Luffy went down.
Before was just "omg i wanna go to the roof help Luffy take Kaido down, bla bla bla bla".
Unless she goes down or gets another matchup, I don't see her standing aside and letting Luffy deal with her father alone.
 
There's 0% chance Luffy defeats Kaido on his own. One of the main themes of the arc is that you should ask others for help for things you can't do on your own. Oden should have asked the scabbards, Sanji asked Robin, Momo asking Luffy for help against Kaido...

Oda already showcased how necessary Sanji's cooking skills were against BM. It is very clear that he will show how important Zoro's strength is against Kaido as the fighter of the crew. Kaido the emperor obsessed with individual strength and BM the gluttonous emperor. And before anyone says he already displayed his strength on rooftop, it wasn't good enough. Zoro himself admits that his strongest attack didn't have much effect against Kaido. Imagine in WCI Sanji stops and says that his cake isn't tasty enough to satisfy BM, impossible

Zoro is unfortunate in that he is good at the one thing Luffy and the rest are good at which is fighting. To display his importance Oda gives us scenes that shows us that he can't be replaced like the scene in thriller Park. Every crewmembers is ready to sacrifice himself for Luffy but only Zoro can survive it because he is Luffy's shield. And one of the most underappreciated aspects is that Oda usually does that by comparing home to Sanji the second strongest Strawhat. Sanji was knocked off by a slight hit from Zoro while Zoro takes all of Luffy's pain and still standing up. The way Oda is writing Onogashim:

1- Let Zoro fight against Kaido to prepare your readers for the eventual Z&L vs Kaido

2- Convince them that Luffy will beat Kaido 1vs1 and preserve monster trio dynamic by having Z&S fight together

3- Send them to the rooftop to help Luffy against Kaido

4- Strawhats beside Luffy and Zoro collapse. Luffy does the most damage but Zoro helps Luffy as well

You people have no faith or patience
So now sanji moved from not being rooftop level to now having all the shs rooftop level :) haha yall funny .Am just enjoying the whole show
 
It doesn't mean 'rising star', if it's referring to a 'star' then it's the main 'star' of a show etc, or main actor.
In a previous post I shared some references in which it's used in relation to many stars, not just the "main star", and also in the context of young actors that are raising as stars. Here, if you want to check it out since you may clarify more than I can:

A webpage discussing a Japanese kabuki magazine:

"Also in the issue, among other features, are discussions with actors Nakamura Kazutarō, Onoe Ukon, Nakamura Yonekichi, and Nakamura Hashinosuke about their then upcoming March program at Kyoto’s Minami-za, focused on these rising 'young stars' (hanagata)".

Quote from a book on film and acting stars throughout the world:

"...the kimono and ornamental hairpins (kanzashi) that kabuki stars (hanagata) were wearing...".

A 1940 article titled "Kansai de chûmoku sareru hanagata kabuki", which was translated as "Young stars' Kabuki in the Kansai Area".

A 1883 woodprint with a whole cast of actors that is titled "Arigataki megumi no hanagata", which translates to "Kabuki stars at a blessing waterfall". I mean, if this isn't plural I don't know what else could be:
