Absolutely man! Given it's the Yamata No Orochi too, it's just insane, completely incomprehensible! Some people theorised he's gonna be the final villain of Wano, that Kaido isn't the "final boss" as we expected him to be but a truly desperate, unhinged, enraged, nothing to lose even Orochi.
I do wonder if he's gonna try and get CP0 to help, get them to do something? Maybe bargain with them and change his demands out of desperation? He's shown such cunning before so I'd like for him to do the same again somehow.
It does have to be deliberate that Oda is downplaying Orochi's DF, he has to be making us delibarately underestimate Orochi right? So when Orochi truly does loses it and snaps back fully, he's gonna be actually terrifying and dangerous for real?
I really, really, really hope that he is repeatedly bringing back Orochi for these reasons. Imagine everytime he dies and comes back, he gets stronger too? Each life/head he loses, he gets stronger to compensate for what he lost?
We have to look at the thematics of the story, and everything leading up to Wano. Oda kept hammering home the point about taking down Kaido and Orochi. Even though Kaido was the focus of being the Big Bad, Oda still placed heavy emphasis on Orochi needing to be defeated.
Wano might be under Kaido's control from the shadows, but the people of the Country recognize Orochi as their leader, and one of the key factors of their suffering for all these years.
Even though Kaido is also a factor into the suffering of the people of Wano, the two actually share this sentiment. The two are basically two sides of the same coin. The people need to witness Kaido's defeat, but at the same time, the way Oda has setup Orochi, it is also clear that the people of the Country also need to witness Orochi's defeat.
That is the ONLY way the horrendous chapter of the lives of the people of Wano can come to a close. It can't be one or the other, but rather needs to be both, as this is the first time Oda has had two antagonists be responsible for the suffering of one Country.
There is no way in hell Oda can throw all that out the window, and turns this strictly into the Kaido and Beast Pirates show. It resolves nothing on Orochi's end, and would be a terrible way for Oda to go about concluding Wano. The best way Oda can rectify this, is by turning Orochi into something that needs to be dealt with, and witnessed by everyone in the Country. Only then can they truly be free from the shackles that has bound them for over 20 years.
