let's see, Oden showed he had a strong will to live, the events in his life till end. to sum it up is bs and very unfair. Even Toki sees this, and oda shows a clue, or his plan he hinted before the reveal.
She rips up oden letter. (showing she does not accept oden forced path to death by evil people) and declares Oden to look ahead in 20 years. meaning she gonna save him with her powers. Oda showed this, but people shrugged it off. just thinking she getting emotional. which is mistake since we also saw her almost leave and go to the future before she met oden,only for oden to show up and save her.
It's still unclear if she can go to the past, time/foreword.(awakened upgrade??)
chapter 1004
We get hint of both oden/Toki pre events as seen before and now in chapter 1004 that this would line up with Toki declaration of Oden survives because of her, and her plan.
Oden clue here.
Then next panel changes to Toki, or is this Hiyori? remember toki gave declaration to saving him.
Troubling, i honestly don't like trolling.. plus he did give us a clue, it looks like she crying in this panel. but she has determination in her expression. (is she helping oden patch up is friends) or is this something else.
Previous chapter, before 1004.
we see someone fight kaido man, and wrote laughing message. further hinting this could be toki and oden, sneaking in.. before everyone else shows up.
Now chapter 1007
Shows oden alive and full health. He also has new swords, which makes sense if he intended to pass his swords to his kids, plus he could not be seen with his old swords, if he was hiding out. meaning this might have been given to him by tenguyama.
also, orochi never confirmed what happen to oden father... so maybe he survived, for other detail in the story. for something to be explained. either way oden having second chance at life is good.

......
same laugh.. this give more clue this oden is confirmation he was in the cave..
also
where did oden father run off to, because the hag has been impersonating his father for while. Orochi expression, and he sweats.. did he really successfully kill oden father? or the old man managed to escape and went into hiding?
Edit here: Btw look at Oden left leg, it looks like prosthetic leg!???
