While I like this, and had an Oden is alive tinfoil thoughts of my own, I dont see how is this possible, he did survive the boiling, but he got a bullet in the head from Kaido at the end of the chapter....
That'd be reverse climactic. Nobody wants Oden alive. He already lives in eternity with those concluding phrases.While I like this, and had an Oden is alive tinfoil thoughts of my own, I dont see how is this possible, he did survive the boiling, but he got a bullet in the head from Kaido at the end of the chapter....
Only if someone with a resurrecting DF arises in Wano I guess, or if possibly Oden himself ate that kind of a DF while traveling with Roger.
Or if Toki met someone with a similar DF to her own but that can travel back to the past, and after Odens execution and sending everyone to the future, her and that possible person traveled back before his execution, and brought him to the future, but then Oden decided to be this mysterious vigilante until someone like Luffy and SHs show up.
But then the past would be changed and Kaido and co. would know about that? Or they wouldnt if something like that happened just recently?
Or Oden was possibly sent to the future right from the boiling pot when Kaido shot him, possibly surviving the lethal bullet to the head Thanks to his overwhelmingly strong CoC, and Kaido didnt notice cuz they just thought that Oden completely dissolved in Oden stew?
Well we'll see, Oda has a habit of blowing our minds recently.
There are a few clues, but this one from the last chapter stands out:
The first interpretation is in this case the only one that can be drawn because its not only an established theme of the series(proving Toki knows what is at stake here and about the "will of D"), the letter of Oden clearly states that he believes he will die and that Toki uses her powers for some unknown purpose afterwards, which of course is to send the 9 scabbards into the future. Oda communicated that this idea was spawned by Oden and not Toki, hence why Oden sacrificed himself in the first place and made sure that the scabbards will live fulfilling his dream even after his death(now Toki's words are actually explained by this revelation and that she knows that Oden wants the scabbards to be send into the future to open Wano's borders. This is the exact first interpretation of her words, otherwise why would she say that when Oden plans to survive when he intents to die to save his scabbards? That would be a contradiction proving she must mean it in the first way). That is besides Oden being burned alive basically for an hour and his body being dead already a la Whitebeard who still just moved with the force of his will. We also see clearly his corpse(especially the smile is a dead giveaway that he in fact died) and the author acknowledging his death at the same time. Going with the 2nd interpretation would just destroy the entire purpose of the revelations the last few chapters. Any way you slice it, it must mean he died or you find too many contradictions.There are a few clues, but this one from the last chapter stands out:
Now this can mean 2 things tho, either 'Oh but you're not gonna die, your will will live on trough the people of Wano' or it can mean 'Oh but you' re not gonna die cuz I'll save your ass with my DF in the last moment.'
Looking at this, I am in total agreement that Jimbei also died. "Even if you die, don't die."
I mean that can be true but who takes over Wano's Shogun title? Hiyori?
Yez... Because momo will travel. Unless zoro wants to impregnate her during the journey.
