Break Week Remember the Ushimaru and co were turned into Numbers theory?

Yes. Though this post didn’t mention how these 3 Numbers were conveniently introduced in the exact same location that the 3 samurai were introduced in just a few chapters ago during Yamato’s flashback. It also didn’t mention how Fuga had an oddly close friendship with Yamato, which would have made sense if he used to be Ushimaru. We also knew that Caesar was using living people as templates for creating giants, so it would have made sense if the Numbers also used to be humans who were used in a failed experiment to produce Ancient Giants.
The theory did seem pretty likely at the time, and frankly I think it’s more likely that it’s just an abandoned subplot than just a series of weird coincidences (it wouldn’t be the only abandoned subplot in Wano, *cough* Ryuma, Nidai Kitetsu, half of the Scabbards *cough*). One of Oda’s biggest crimes in Wano is making the Numbers totally irrelevant and forgettable. At least this theory would have made them somewhat interesting
