Speculations Who wields the bloody sword at the end of 985?

[dirtyLarry]

At the end of chapter 985 we see someone holding a boody sword and then a crying Kiku in the very next panel.

This has obviously lead the majority of fans to assume that this is Kiku's sword.

There is one problem however: I just clearly isn't her sword, completely different pattern (wave form) in the panel on the last page.

So who is the guy with the bloody sword on the last page?

 

[Jo_Ndule]

Perhaps Law or Hawkins?

 

[Ballel]

Maybe Oda just forgot coloring her kimono

Oda never draws that wave pattern from afar. Look at Zoro's Sandai Kitetsu. You only see the pattern sometimes when Oda draws the sword close, otherwise it looks clean like Wado.

idk but no way kanjuro is dead or injured by kiku

 

[Afroking]

Oda has drawn Kiku's blade with a pattern once before.

It's Kiku. I think its ink and the "person" she cut was an Oden clone

 

[Monet]

its kiku sword
look at the left corner
his sword is the same as this chapter

this is oda thing , when he draw close up sowrd he give it more details
same as when kaidou cut orochi head and the next panel when its looks normal sword

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

It's definitely Kiku imo

 

[BangOO🍅]

That is Kiku, here is why. Otherwise, who would cry like that if its not Kiku?

 

[Seth]

Law the traitor theory making a grand comeback?


Jokes aside.

I think Kin'emon or Ashura just fucking shove Kanjuro down.

 

[sanjikun]

You guys gotta stop with this shit. That's clearly Kiku.

 

[Dr. Spook]

It's definitely Kiku.

On that panel, there's a flower pattern on the garment... a flower inside a larger flower.... and if we see Kiku's fight panels with Kanjuro earlier (as well as the one she's about to fight), her garment has the same pattern...

a flower inside another flower...


Sorry, my english ain't good these days...
and I can't post the image, as my internet sucks. :-S

 

[Yukihime]

It's okiku. She is wearing the same kimono. Also, she's shown to be crying afterwards, so it is possible that she has either killed or injured kanjuro

Gyukimaru, he just stole it.
