- I like how Kid, Luffy, and Law all have Onigiri in their lunch boxes but still decide to fight over one in the air. These damn greedy pirates..at least Law is sharing his with the birds.
- The way Kaido and King synched up leads one to believe Orochi's execution was premeditated. Or King has future sight and saw that his boss was about to decapitate an important underling.
- Izo remains by far the smallest of Oden's retainers. The food on Whitebeard's ship does a growing boy no good!
- Law in 984 said he bet his life that Kaido was in the upper entrance. Does that mean the Scabbards split off for the lower entrance?
- Strange that Kiku and Kanjuro's clashes releases regular lightning, while Ulti and Luffy released black lightning. I'm not sure if that implies armament haki is being used in one but not the other, or rather a different level of intensity.
- The 23rd anniversary cover is dope. I didn't notice all the different jump artists drawing One Piece characters behind Luffy.
The funny part is how Kanjuro didn't get mistaken for a Samurai and attacked again. Like Kaido gave him a special Orochi badge he could flash to the fodder. The dozen guys he managed to recruit were all persuaded by his badge on his way outside.
- Kiku and Kanjuro are both time jumping Scabbards. The pain of Oden is more real. Kin is absent right now.
- Kiku spent a lot of time looking after Momo and Tama. Even in the time jump, Kiku is holding Momo's hand. Therefore her attachment is deeper than someone like Raizo's.
- There is snow in this part of Wano. Kiku's element is snow. Oda found it thematic or something.
Who knows? Maybe Inu pulls out his saber, the katana on the other, then leg sword to make his own Santoryu style.
Here is my interpretation. Yamato is not that attached to the role of Oden but more likely obsessed with fulfilling his will of opening Wano. You can be Oden, as long as I get to help take down Kaido. That's also why she refuses the Shogun position when that's what Oden wanted. Why she doesn't fight with swords even though she admires Samurai. Oden is the personification of the goal to free Wano and Yamato wanted to emulate that. If she still wants to go around sailing like pirate of her own will when this is all over remains to be seen.
- Ace challenged Whitebeard and was defeated.
- Ace was added to Whitebeard's crew and turned into a son.
- Ace for up to a year tried to assassinate his own father, refusing to be subservient.
- Whitebeard wanted to make Ace the Pirate King, even if he didn't confess to it, and Kaido makes Yamato the Shogun of his New Onigashima empire.
The fact that the cuffs couldn't be removed here most likely means that they will act as a liability for Yamato and by extension Luffy for a bit longer. For example, let's say Who's Who whips out a remote and threatens to blow up Yamato's arms if she doesn't come along with him. The remotes and cuffs are bluffs Kaido himself never resorts to. 1) That explains how the Tobi Roppo can challenge the powerful Yamato and still expect to defeat a Calamity afterwards. 2) Fodder don't get remotes because Yamato claps them before they can even threaten her. 3) It can be used to keep Yamato out of battle while Who's Who and Luffy do a 1v1 battle for her freedom. Heck, maybe the cuffs stay on until the end with Wano so Luffy and Kaido fight for "ownership" of next nakama Yamato.
Amusing how Wano is pretty much pirate country already. Jack even rules the Kuri region. All Kaido is doing here is ruining the one last good city in the place so the entireity of Wano can be a dump. No wonder Orochi was furious. As far as pirate paradise, Blackbeard's Beehive island tropical resort sets a much better example.
