That's some real 2010 mangapanda quality scan that one. Not going to complain too much though, came out pretty early and I think that's a pretty good translation.
Hell of a fast paced chapter. Very enjoyable. Not all that much to talk about though, it being mostly action.
Don't think anyone came out of this looking bad. Scabbards get damn good hype being able to cut Kaido (so yes, Zoro can and will do the same). Kaido looks good because, after the initial shock, he brushes the hits aside and is up and raring to go.
Ulti vs Yamato as one of the main fights? Mace on mace?
Now, people might remember I've argued that Kine'mon will join the crew in the past. I don't think that any more, sadly. But it's moments like that one he had with Luffy that is what I look for a future Strawhat. Leading a charge on a Yonko, interrupting him to say "fuck you, you don't know him, this guy will be Pirate King," the two of them promising to meet again. That's Strawhat stuff, even if Oda doesn't go that route. It resonates with me because of the focus Kin has had, we've seen him bond with the crew, we know what he's fighting for, it's all the stuff I'd love for a crewmate, and why he's one of my post-skip faves. Ah well, if it's not to be it's not to be.
The end suggest to me the Scabbards are not playing a role in any other fights. If Su Long is already getting pulled out, it looks like they're all going to go out in a blaze of glory trying to take down Kaido. This is going to be his big hype moment, he's going to solo, but be damaged, by the Nine Scabbards while the rest of the army is occupied below. Neko looks hype as fuck
And Jinbei in a colour spread again, thank the lord. I see in addition to being able to change size, Enma is also a magical colourchanging sword.
Great chapter, looking forward to it in better quality, shame about the break next week, Onigashima continues to be great.
