General & Others What could have been...

[Shiroyru]

What are some cool things that Oda could have done, but he didn't for some reason. Here are some things that I think would have been cool, but probably will never happen:

1. Hybrid mode Sulong Pekoms. Imagine how cool it would have been to see a lion-turtle in sulong mode.

2. Yuki Yuki no Mi Nami with Zeus and Prometheus. It's still possible for Nami to get Prometheus, but it doesn't seem like she will get the Snow Fruit. People theorized that the DF could respawn in Nami's tangerine garden since Monet died near the ship, but this didn't happen. I think it would have been really cool to see Nami controlling storms, fire, and blizzards at the same time.

3. Orochi actually being a badass samurai with a badass Yamata no Orochi transformation.

Brings me back to when I'd spam Low Top Tier Orochi on OJ. Big missed opportunity here. Just imagine Zoro fighting this guy;

Spoiler

And this thing pops out mid fight.

Spoiler

It'd be such a hype moment. I mean, I like King a lot. His DF is cool, same with his get up. But my headcanon before we saw Orochi was that he'd be some badass, Shishio figure with a killer mythical zoan and he'd fight Zoro.

Only other missed opportunity is having Pudding's memory fruit playing a bigger role in WCI. Considering the type of arc half of it was, one filled with lies and confusion, I feel like her fruit would've fit for a more thematic reveal. Beyond Sanji's memory being altered, it feels like a useless addition when Pudding could've been doing a lot more behind the scenes.

Oden should’ve used CoC to make an opening for the scabbards to escape during his execution

Would’ve made more sense than them simply running

Also would’ve been awesome

Pudding should have never became good again. She should have stayed evil and then Sanji kicks her in the face so that he could actually get some good character development

Oda doesn't like to show off CoC anymore

Oh wow i never thought you can use hybrid zoans + sulong form. That would be dope af.

But for me, that might be possible. And i think why Oda doesn't do that its because he want to put Sulong Inuarashi and Sulong Nekomamushi as a the best sulong form.

1.) Maybe incorporate Japanese actual legend into Wano.

Hanzo Hattori was real ninja and he had good feat but in the manga he is fat.

I would like to see characters based on Musashi Miyamoto and Kojiro Sasaki. Orochi has Mimawarigumi so I expect Oda would add Shinsengumi to the story too.

Maybe some characters based on Sengoku era like Tadakatsu Honda (historically he had never been injured). Hanzo Hattori was also ninja during Sengoku era so I hope Oda also add Sasuke Sarutobi (ninja who fights like a monkey, I think he could be Luffy's ally if Oda adds him since Luffy animal theme is also Monkey) and Fuma Kotaro (I think some records had him killed Hanzo Hattori so Hanzo when he joined Shinobu might have an epic battle with him).

The addition of Sanada Ten Braves would be nice as well. Sasuke Sarutobi was the leader of that group and if Sasuke Sarutobi is added might be good as well to add Sanada Ten Braves and also Yukimura Sanada, master of Sasuke Sarutobi and Takeda Shingen too who Yukimura and Sasuke served to and Takeda Shingen was called Tiger of Kai I think he could be Zoro's ally.



2.) Also the addition of another mythical zoan like Chimera, Qilin, Wyvern, Golem, etc.


3.) Another admirals candidate would be good addition. Since admirals are based on Chinese Zodiac I think would be nice to have other admirals.

Kizaru - Monkey
Akainu - Dog
Aokiji - Rooster
Fujitora - Tiger
Ryokugyu - Bull
Chaton - Pig
Momosagi - Rabbit

So other 5 admirals candidate.




4.) I want to see Monkey D. Dragon's full power. Roger and Whitebeard full power as well. Onscreen fight between Aokiji and Akainu, Cp9/BB Pirates and Revolutionary



5.) What I want the most is top tier bounty hunter. New World has a lot of strong pirates with haki and bounties over 100 million berries so I expect high or top tier bounty hunters but so far I haven't seen one.

Also solo character who is also top tier. Most top tiers are leader or part of certain organization like yonko, admirals, Monkey D. Dragon so would be nice to see top tier who works alone.

Maybe Aokiji but he joined Blackbeard Pirates.

Robin could be insanely strong given her fruit. Imagine her learning rokushiki and having CoA.

3. Orochi actually being a badass samurai with a badass Yamata no Orochi transformation.

1. pretty cool indeed. guess its because the transformation is hard to control already anyways. or afair Pekoms was out of control so no conscious transformation.

2. puh. Nami with a Logia would be too much. she could theoretically neg diff 99% of the verse now.

3. this is still a possibility. I really see no reason why Kaido would keep Orochi in power even as a figurehead.


a real Zoro vs Luffy match would be what I would like to see.

Not off screen a lot of interesting stuff. I ain't gonna lie I lost my shit when Jinbei mentioned Admirals pvp and Oda didn't even give us 1 or 2 chapters of it :/
