Pedro was in his 80's, spiritually, due to Big Mom, and was probably going to die soon anyway.
Yasuie, fair point.
Yeah he lost a ton of his lifespan, at least he got to go out in a "blast of glory" as you could say lol. I was adamant he would return because of that one homie mentioning hes got Pedro's stolen lifespan as Big Mom and her homies chased the SHs before but also Odas track records with fakeouts, especially Pell who "died" in a similar manner to Pedro too.
Aye haha, I know I'm being pedantic but I do agree he spared Pound for the reason you said too. I'm sure he commented on it or made some comment implying it too, something about dads and daughters before and how he cant bring himself to seperate them so permanently, that he needed to make the likes of Pound and Lola and Chiffon reunite, I may be wrong but I swear Oda has alluded to it at least before?
Tbh, I wouldnt even be mad if Yasuie is alive, that he got a fakeout somehow. He was shot more times than 50 Cent even and whilst 50 survived, I'm not sure Yasuie could ofc lmao. But, Kanjuro took his body when he died and I thought this might either lead to Kanjuro stealing his hair for his brush and tormenting the Scabbards over guilt of Yasuies death with it, as Kanjuro was said to steal hair from corpses for his brushes and with Yasuie being on the side of the Kozukis too, it would make it more personal for Kanjuro too?
Either that, or before we got the traitor reveal and it was confirmed Kanjuro, I somehow thought Yasuie would still turn out to be alive and Kanjuro would save him, maybe if Kanjuro was the traitor but doing a Denjiro (I didnt expect "Kyoshiro" to actually be Denjiro in disguise nor a traitor to Orochi and double agent, even though he looks like Gin from Bleach with that appearance of his lmao, but we saw him with "Komurasaki" too tbf and we know he faked her death too?) and thus Kanjuro could have used a fake Yasuie with his DF to be executed or made it look like he was somehow or he saved Yasuies life last minute by taking him away and treating his wounds, once everyone thought he was ead and gone.
If only Kinemon could conjure some "plot armour" with his DF for Yasuie like he clearly did for himself and Kiku, the latter who even was wearing literal armour for the raid initially ofc lmao.
I'm so bitter about Yasuie being dead due to Toko and how much shes suffered and is suffering, with "being an orphan again now" even, with losing her adoptive father too, but also being an orphan before. Yasuie pretended to have eaten a smile fruit and be just like her, so she felt less cursed/like a freak and given Odas track record to spare fathers like Pagaya, Pound, Kyros etc, I thought Oda would be merciful on Yasuie too but alas....
I hope my mad rambling makes sense anyway lol.
