Speculations Will the Kuma flashback be longer than the Oden flashback?

#1
I think it has to, because of just how much content this is going to cover. You have:
  1. God Valley
  2. The formation of the revolutionaries
  3. How Kuma became king of sorbet kingdom
  4. Bonney's backstory
  5. How Kuma eventually lost his will
Its basically got to tell Kuma's life story.

Depends imo if:

- He actually goes into detail on the Rocks event at God Valley, he could skip it yet again
- He actually gives focus to Garling and assumedly Shanks.

Outside of that, I dont expect his life between Sorbet, RA and as a Shichibukai will need more than a few chapters, even if they are the most important parts.

I think it'll be a long flashback, but Oden's was the longest flashback ever. If it covers the God Valley Incident, it may be very long, but I don't think so... Kuma + Iva (+ Ginny?) will probably bail out before the storm hits.

Let's do a count of chapters for every major flashback

Usopp - 1
Zoro - 1
Ace - 1
Kyros - 2
Sanji 1 - 2
Vivi - 2
Big mom - 3
Brook - 3
Sanji 2 - 3
Nami - 3
Chopper - 5
Franky - 6
Noland - 7
Otohime - 8
Law - 8
Robin - 8
Luffy - 8
Oden 15


If I had to guess based on trends it's going to be between 3 - 8 chapters.

Given 1100 is coming up, I'd bet on 4-5

People forget Oden's FB also included multiple chapters with WB/Roger/Lore Piece and also really was Wano's flashback as well with the Scabbards and Momo. It was a lot, but it addressed a bunch of things

Kuma's is sort of in the same boat if Oda wants to. God Valley is central to not only him, but Shanks, Roger, Garp and Rocks. We'll see how much it covers but my guess is:

1096: strictly the CD hunting tournament, which is interrupted by Rocks arriving (we dont see them)

1097: Rocks' crew is fully revealed, we get their assault, followed by the arrival of Garp or Roger (however they showed up here).

1098 and maybe 1099: The God Valley Incident in full force (Oda will show brief clashes) ending it with Rocks' supposed demise and Kuma/Ivankov/Jimny's escape. Shanks gets taken by Roger (we'll see context of that briefly).

1100, maybe 1101: Rest of Kuma's FB, showing, briefly, how he went back to his Kingdom and formed the RA with Dragon, followed by his eventual capture and reasoning for being sacrificed.

Id say at most its 5-7 chapters

Even 5 chapters will take 3 months lol
I did the rough math on another thread but between now and Mid-January we should get about 8 chapters (1096-1103) assuming the 2 chapter then break pattern doesnt stop:

- 2 this month still (Oct 23rd and 30th spoilers) - 1096/1097
- Break beginning of November (November 6th)
- 2 more in November (13th and 20th) - 1098-1099
- Another break at the end of November (27th)
- 1 early december (Dec 4th) - 1100
- Oda break early to not be a back to back double issue break with Jump for holiday (Dec 11th)
- 1 for holiday double issue (Dec 18th) -1101
- Jump break but we'll get the following one early (Dec 25th)- 1102
- Delayed break because we got it early^ (Jan 1st)
- Back to "normal" barring Oda breaks again (Jan 8th) -1103


If we are lucky, we'll get 3 week stretches again so you could add 2 more chapters here and push his breaks out
