Personally I like both Neko and Inu, as well as Kawamatsu. Neko and Inu have been cool to me since Zou, from their character designs, personalities, rivalry, and story building implications. Kawamatsu, because I’m glad fishmen are still relevant in the story. Not to mention that he is a Yokozuna ranked sumo wrestler. I’m indifferent towards the wrest of the Scabbards. Except Kin’emon, can’t say I like Kin’emon.
Do you think any of the Scabbards will die? If so who?
Supposedly there’s an oncoming tragedy at the end of Act 3, following Kabuki act structure. I’ve thought that they’ve been on the chopping block since 991, but they just keep lingering on. I understand the thematic relevance of their confrontation, but I don’t really care for them bar the three I mentioned. Not all of them are going to die because Momo is going to need retainers post the Wano arc. But, I think Kin’emon, Inu (sadly), Izo, and Kanjuro are most likely to go.
