Wish the unconfirmed spoiler saying ashura and izo death is not true..
Ashura plot was quite impactful for the story progress..like the vs oden, vs jack & kaido, vs kinemon & inuarashi..if he is truly dead, that was a poor way to kill him though..
Izo was quite ok and have strong characteristic, with his whitebeard's background, marineford screen time, and that brotherhood bond with kiku..killed by offscreened fight with lack of screen time cp0 is also pathetic..
As a supporting char, if they need to be dead for war plot purpose is actuallt ok..but seems they deserve better glorified death scene isnt it.. :(
