Chapter Discussion One Piece - Chapter 972: I’m Oden and I was Born to Boil

[Godusopp]

Great chapter, nice to see Oden go out like that, despite his naivety I really enjoyed his character in this flashback. Looks like we're heading back to the present, was hoping we'd get some hint at who the traitor was, but it seems like we can at least eliminate all the Scabbards and Shinobu. Not sure who it could be, Carrot? Tama? Tenguyama? Law? My inkling was originally Kanjuro, but after this flashback I'm really not sure. I hope the present timeline gives some answers.

Expecting some great fight panels now.

[Himura]

Luffy n Zoro are the only ones in the aliance who can defeat Kaido

 

[Arara]

Can't wait for Zoro and Sanji action next week!

Spoiler

And of course, the fans of the both too..

 

[Shura]

Hopefully there is toki POV.....otherwise she is a big disaster

The flashback started with the Scabbards, it should therefore go back to the Scabbards. At best we get SHPs at the very last panel (probably double spread).

I hope we get some good panels of the fire festival next week.

To me its quite disappointing to not get o toki fleshed out.

If oda missed out on her then it's nothing short than a disaster as many pointed out.

But, there is another way to see this.
Toki could be so important that oda chose not to reveal much about her until more appropriate time for two primary reasons

1) her story is related to void century

2) her story could eclipse even oden and this flashback was more about oden. So oda could have decided not to mix these two at the same time. Not Only it will make flashback more complicated to narrate but also difficult to tell about toki without revealing much about void century.

So, I am inclining towards the second possibility as from author point of view that makes more sense

Zoro fanboys are delusional they said...





What was clear from earlier has became more apparent. Kaido is team work and zoro would be in it


Flashback overall was good. Oden death was tragic but he embraced it like a Don. A man who could be naive but was worthy of being considered as great leader.

The only people that are fighting Kaido are Luffy, Law and Kid.

I love how kaidos forces started firing arrows on normal civilians making them believe in odens sacrifice.it wouldn't have been realistic that people would believe shinobu out of no where.any other mangaka would've skipped this detail.put the g before oda.

:smithnie:
And stop denying that, flashback proved you wrong

 

[Reborn]

:smithnie:
And stop denying that, flashback proved you wrong

They will keep on denying until oda will show it on panel
And,when that will happen they will go on rampage calling it BS writing completely disregarding all the foreshadowing done regarding it from the beginning...

But here's the question: Are all straw hats prophesied? Are the straw hats chosen ones?

No, he said an individual as in singular person.

 

[Reborn]

But here's the question: Are all straw hats prophesied? Are the straw hats chosen ones?

Maybe or may not be but as of now there are only two who are chosen ones - Luffy (joyboy) and zoro (ryuma)

Apart from them worst generation itself seem to be chosen ones in some way especially if we talk about law and kidd.

 

[Red Dog]

It said even more which means it is over 700degree C with is insane. And that for a whole hour without even defeating himself with CoA.

Chapter was insane good, love both Kaido and Oden in this chapter.

Yeah chaden die with a bang love the oden motto lol
