In Chinese mythology there are 5 animals associated Five Principles and the seasons.
The Azure Dragon, The Vermillion Bird, The White Tiger, The Black Tortoise and the Yellow Dragon. My theory is that characters with mythical devil fruits representing these beasts will play prominent roles in Wano.
The Azure Dragon is obviously supposed to be Kaido. It also represents Spring, which is ironic because Kaido prefers winter islands according to Scotch.
The Vermillion Bird is Marco and it represents summer, the hottest season. Marco will likely heal the Roofnovas to full health or take on Big Mom. I know that Marco is blue, but I can't see Oda introducing another mythical bird fruit unless it's a Thunderbird which is from Native American myths.
The White Tiger is probably Yamato. Her zoan form has fangs and there's too many parallels with Dragons and Tigers, for example the Dragon represents the heavens while the Tiger represents the Earth. The White Tiger is associated with Autumn.
The Black Tortoise is either Green Bull or Blackbeard. Green Bull is likely a powerful Zoan and also seems to be slightly lazy, he is the only admiral that hasn't made an appearance. The marines may come to Wano. He also seems to be familiar with Vegapunk, who has been mentioned several times this arc. Blackbeard said that he wanted to get something, commonly theorized to be the WCI poneglyph, but I think there's a possibility of Blackbeard coming to Wano and revealing that he ate some kind of mythical turtle fruit and then stealing Kaido's poneglyph. Teach was born on a Winter Island and the Black Tortoise is associated with Winter.
The Yellow Dragon is Momo. In Chinese Mythology the Yellow Dragon is the center of the universe, a very important figure. Several members of the Beasts Pirates have acknowledged Momo as the most important enemy.
