Hey, everyone. I added a poll up top just to know everyone's thoughts on the matter- Is Tashigi a Shimotsuki?
I ask because we received confirmation that Koshiro and Kuina are of Shimotsuki descent. To me, this adds greater evidence Tashigi might be one. Even more than Zoro. After all, Tashigi, like Kuina, is named after a flightless bird, their uncanny resemblance, and her sword name tying with the overall theme attached to the Shimotsuki, being late Autumn. Tashigi was also born in the East Blue where many Wano immigrants migrated to.
This essentially ties Tashigi with two plotpoints in Wano. The first being the SMILES which were created based on the Lineage Factor developed by Vegapunk whom Tashigi went to visit alongside Smoker and the rest of G-5. The second being her conspicuous ties to the Shimotsuki. Of course, the poll question isn't whether she comes (though I feel she will), it's worth mentioning.
