1. Black blade
- Gyukimaru mentioned the idea of it happening
- Tenguyama suggested Zoro can do it
2. Hiyori
- Luffy and Sanji have an equivalent princess. Hiyori has given over Enma and clearly has more of Zoro in mind than we know yet, as well as her own destiny. What's to stop her from picking Sanji now, he also beat an All Star. What about Dog Storm lmao, or her guardian Scabbards.
3. Samurai
- Zoro will lead the samurai, he's told us
- strongest katana user in Wano, ignorable?
4. 2X Pain
- Clearly important plot, Thriller Bark parallel
- Oda rewards suffering of protagonists, this is the worst pain felt in the whole series
5. Shimotsuki
- Kawamatsu and Hyo acknowledged
- Kozaburo, Kuina, and Yasu all wait on him
6. Ryuma
- they need to accept him as the new Ryuma
- Ryuma waits on him also, they'll talk soon. About what?
7. Gyukimaru
- must recognize his loyalty to Zoro
8. Kaido's rep
- goes to shit if Luffy apparently beats him
- Luffy looks bad if Big Mom folds easier
9. King of hell
- we have to define this
- Jigoku means hell, but also means samurai
Maybe Oda ignores some of this, but all of it?
