It will be even more "shocking" when Oda reveals he is alive later too.

:saden:
If he's actually killed him off though, it better be out of his own immense honour and selflessness at least. I hate this so much but at least Oda can "redeem" it but having T-Bone go out as a hero. Foolish but a hero. But both the foolish and heroes do die young too usually.
I still can't believe Wano had 8 named deaths supposedly at least and yet I feel nothing from any of them, because of how badly written they were and the absolutely insulting fakeouts that happened too. Not to mention once again, Sabo is "surprisingly" revealed to be alive AGAIN and has cheated death AGAIN! Its like his character gag now! "Oh my god they killed
Kenny Sabo!" "Oh wait never mind, hes fine again."
