There's enough going on that I can see Kanjuro just being dead. There's plenty of villains still to get through, including Big Mom's children.

they admitted its a suicide mission with little chance of success, but theyll go through with it because of their loyalty to Oden.

If it's a 1v1, Kaido wins. Therefore a 9v1 is the key to victory.

They had to abandon the plan when they learned Kaido was about to execute Momo.

Lol at Kaido’s expression, like a more subdued version of the “oh man oh jeez this is bad” one everyone had when Luffy got arrested. And I’m real glad that we’re just doing the smart thing and just dogpiling on Kaido but also worried because we’re doing the smart thing and dogpiling on Kaido only it’s way too soon for him to get hosed up yet

Among those attacking Kaido right now, Izo is the closest to a big name. This isn't going to be enough for anything other than officially starting the big fight. To take down Kaido they're going to need to include some combination of Luffy, Zoro, Kidd, Killer, and Law. Probably also need Momo's sister to show up with the other sword that belonged to Oden.

Also there's a real good chance that we need Tengu mask guy to show up and reveal who he is.

What a chapter; surely the scabbards are gonna get hosed up though.
I am slightly surprised none of the beast pirates saw them coming through observation haki, but maybe there's just too much going on for that


They're having a big old party and you need to actively use it. Out of everyone we've seen use observation haki, Katakuri is probably the only person who would still be using it passively. The people looking for Yamoto were narrowly focused and are currently chasing a giant explosion to where they know Yamoto is anyway.

Speaking of which since the handcuffs actually did explode, Kaido is sending a real weird mix of good dad and terrible dad signals.

Yamato's crying face when the handcuffs explode reminds me of Luffy when Ace dies in his arms. Super exaggerated and funny looking but deep down it's soul-crushing.

The real reason Kaido hooked back up with Big Mom is so that regardless of his own parenting style, he'll still look a good one while her presence brings the local average.

Part of me kinda wants to believe he did it because he assumes Yamato is nigh indestructible like his old man, and so explosives like that wouldn’t actually hurt Yamato but stun him long enough for his crew to wrangle.

But it’s probably because he’s a poo poo person that would murder his own child for “insubordination”.

There was a translator's note in the version that got taken down that Luffy called Yamato, "Yama o" in the same way that he calls Law "Tora o," and the o means man or guy. "Tora o" is usually translated as Tra-guy, so I hope they go with Yama-guy or something like that. I just think it's nice and wholesome that Luffy's disrespectful nickname is explicitly masculine for Yamato.

It really makes fools of the people (like myself) arguing that his death being undone was worth it for a sincere heartfelt reunion. As horrible as this development is for pound, I had to laugh too.

everything is moving so drat fast now. getting to this point could have been dragged out for like two chapters or more, easily. odas trying to get to something big, and fast. maybe the Marines will show up.

also, that off-screen quick death is not common for a named character like that. makes me wonder if it's not just the upcoming chapter constraints but something about the traditional play format at work here?

I’m curious what’s next after Wano finally wraps. I’m guessing possibly Elbaf or wherever Shanks is hiding out (I forget the name of it). Additionally, I wouldn’t be surprised if Vivi and Carue wind up running into the Strawhats again later as the former is currently on the WG’s hit list for some reason.

I’m also wondering how the encounter with Shanks is going to go down as unlike a lot of the other warlords he’s not a despotic bastard (that we know of at least).

Frankly, I'm happy. Wano really feels like it drags in some places. I'm ready to just get to the main action already.

I really hope it turns out he's alive. Kanjuro just getting offed off-panel given his relevance would be so anti-climactic. A flashback should occur, at least, if he really is dead.

We don't need more backstory about anyone that isn't a main character at this point. The story is too crowded, this is the point people need to die and stay dead so we can get to the meat of wano. Everything has been set up that way.

It's weird for me to be saying we don't need a flashback when one piece's flashbacks have been so epic, but this is really the shittiest spot

probably a mini-arc for elbalf and then a big one-two for raftel and mary geois. wouldn't be shocked if this is like two 100 chapter arcs that feed right into each other.

since Zou, Oda has picked up the pacing in general. He showed us the aftermath of the fight with Jack that would have easily been a few chapters

I'm frankly glad that this is happening because there's still a good amount of plot to go through

gonna be cool where instead of showing these offscreen fights in full, the anime focuses on more running and yelling somehow
