What did the fake wano ending for PW4 end up being?

Basically, after Kaido beats Luffy early on, Luffy is taken prisoner and word gets out. EVERYONE shows up to help. Bartolomeo, Cavendish, Sabo, Kuzan, Smoker and Tashigi all show up to help Luffy and the Straw Hats. Pretty much all of the Wano specific characters don’t exist outside of Mom and Kinemon, so no Orochi or Yamato or the other samurai. Luffy is freed, and everyone storms Onigashima to challenge Kaido.

At this point I feel like Yamato as a character was specifically designed to cause every single member of the One Piece fandom to be mad in one way or another.

lol just remembered nidai kitetsu just fuckin completely disappeared and was never brought up again

addendum: just realized Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji all get some sort of power up in wano and then by the end of the arc they get another power up that makes that first one completely pointless

Act 1: mostly the same

Act 2: Seeing the news of Luffy's capture Bartolomeo, Cavendish and Sabo come to Wano to help. Katakuri breaks Luffy out of the prison ostensibly to both gently caress over Kaido and bring him to Big Mom (they never team up in this version). Meanwhile Sengoku contacts Kuzan and sends him, Smoker, and Tashigi to discreetly help as well because gently caress Kaido.

Act 3: Big final 3 way battle where it becomes apparent the reason all these characters showed up was so you could have your choice of one of 18 characters for the final level. Blackbeard shows up and reveals he teamed up with Kaido to do.... something. Kaido is the final boss and retreats for the time being. Presumably they didn't want to show him being beaten outright because nobody at the time knew if that was even possible, similar thing happened with PW3.

Yamato didn't make me mad. I am however confused as to them just being like "I'm not going now!" and the reasoning for it. I wasn't emotionally invested in Yamato joining or not joining but it was all handled in a weirdly deflating manner instead of giving them something interesting to do INSTEAD of joining? Jimbei had poo poo to do before he joined, that worked. If Yamato had been given something interesting to do with some implication they'd show up later (not even necessarily as crew) I'd be have been more onboard but this kinda comes off as shoving them in a cupboard now that we're leaving Wano.

I think it's that some people had a lot of problems with Wano, and this chapter being the end was the straw that broke the camel's back and it's clashing with this thread's usual weird thing that if you dislike literally anything in One Piece you hate the whole series

Yeah this was were I was at. There were a lot of individual little things that I've been overlooking because the major beats were still landing. Hell even in this chapter I was ready to let Yamato go because momo as little brother was cute and the captains being dumbasses was funny.

Isn't this just a stupid translation issue? It is the exact same line as "Oden was born to boil"/"It wouldn't be Oden if it wasn't burned", however with the difference that Oden is understood by an english reader to be the type of food, but Kurozumi is not translated into charcoal so far. So you have to present the line differently in english, leading to the implied context of referring to the entire clan, a context which is not there in the original japanese.

Is any japanese reader reacting to this line the same way?

Yeah, actually thinking about it, that line could be salvaged pretty easily. "This Kurozumi was born to burn," would have no issues and still be a pretty awesome gently caress you to Orochi. From what little I know of Japanese the original probably just said "Kurozumi Born Burn" because everything else is juts implied in Japanese, so the original could be about Orochi in particular, even if it's ambiguous.

Japanese speaker seems to confirm it's referring really just to Orochi

i would concur with this tbh. i really do not agree that Yamato was "super built up" to join, either. every time he threw out the "i'm joining" line it seemed to get little real attention, i think it was in oda's plan always to not have them join this arc

to me it felt pretty natural though. yamato watches momonosuke and the scabbards completely out of their depth for the most part against one singular soldier, meditates on the idea for a few days, and decides to stay, giving an alternative reason because momo explicitly screamed about feeling guilty if he were the reason yamato had to stay. it's a white lie because he wants to protect wano

I think if any of that was in the story, that would be fine. But it's not. If that was the intent, then I believe there'd be even a slight implication this was the case as Oda is not exactly a subtle storyteller. As it is what you have is basically headcanon that tries to make sense of a thing that's just suddenly dropped in and moved on from.

idts, its just an awkward line to translate. it's a pretty explicit call to "i'm oden and i was born to boil", but in orochi's case, his given name doesn't work for the uh, death pun quite the same. so hiyori uses the family name which is "charcoal" to get the same effect.

i do'nt think oda would throw away one of the most consistent and important themes in the entire story for the sake of One Cool Line, but reading through the posts in this thread it's weird how little credibility some readers seem to give him lol

i dont think its subtle though. like, sincerely, to me this was the blatantly obvious chain of events. i am actually more confused that the rest of you seem to not be concluding something similar, it's making me feel a little nuts

Its genuinely crazy. There's been significantly worse chapters and worse writing failures, even in this arc.

I can't understand how this is the moment where people realise the Orochi poo poo is problematic. He's been written terribly throughout the entire arc and he was presented from the beginning as inheriting his family's evil traitor bastard vibes. He's clearly the worst part of Wano and it somehow took till now for a bunch of people to realise the writing around him was weird!
