Questions & Mysteries Who will commit Seppuku?

[Rej]

The first chapter of Wano is called "Seppuku". I have the suspicion that during some climatic point a character might commit Seppuku for some reasons.
We currently learn alot about the Wano cast and Oda tries to center several characters differently, so we learn more about them and connect to them.
My worst feeling is that someone might commit Seppuku because of an upcomming fail. Who could it be?

My best bet goes to one of the Red Scabbards, they are highlighted suitable for such a dramatic plotpoint, especially Kine'mon who recently acts really overemotional.
I think Kine'mon would try to do it upon frustration, but some good soul would stop him.

Another suspect could be Hiyori. This character definitely has a dark side lying within her character. She mysteriously can be connected to the Seppuku mentality. She has this certain Samurai pride as shown when she was cut by Kyoshiro.

Could Zoro possibly do it as teased in Wano's first chapter? For what reasons?

Could Brook do it for gag reasons?

I think Seppuku can be such an amazing topic, Wano could be the suitable arc to highlight this aspect of Samurai life!
What do you guys think?

I like the idea of seppuku as a dramatical scene at the end of war.

Maybe if the traitor is one of the nine scabbards he could do that for feeling so much shame and dishonor for betraying Kozuki family as a pay back for what he did againts them.

Just an idea i would like to see.

Yep. The traitor should commit seppuku. Ideally immediately after they get exposed.

Oh the traitor is a good candidate. It could also be a traitor from Orochis side. Who switches over to the SHPs side. In all shame he doesnt know ally or foe anymore. Caused some shit and commits Seppuku.

Kaido

but he will fail or be stopped by Luffy ._.

So... Shinobu? ?

this would be an epic end for her

Noone!
The evil guys would Fake it trying to escape. And if the traitor will do a 180 and planning a seppoku out of regrets, Luffy would stop him.

This is still One Piece.

Luffy would stop the opponent he is fighting against, but he couldn't stop Pedro or Pound doing their sacrifices. He couldn't rescue Monet.

Yes, the seppuku could be done alone in silence without external intervention, for example in front of ruins of Oden's Castle or Ringo's samurai cemetery. Because have to be very dramatic for us the audience.

Whoever turns out to be the traitor.

Sacrifice ≠ suicide.
Luffy won't let somebody killing himself for a nonsense reason like honour.

This thread reminds me on your "Luffys Fürst kill"-thread back in OJ, but as expected Babanuki survived.

If they found a new daimyo after winning the war (ehem) and he ordered someone to commit seppuku, that shall be Orochi. He deserves to die through that.

Seppuku is a honorable death for a real samurai. Orochi desearves Ace death lol.

I agree. Luffy won't let somebody killing herself for a nonsense reason (to him) like honour. But, as long as Luffy is there to stop him.

An scenario where in the rest of war, after all the destruction, maybe the traitor might escape from the final judgement of Kozuki Family, but he could feel so ashamed, so terrible for what he did. Then if he wants to recover his honour as a truly samurai of Wanokuni, then the Seppuku is not an option to discard.

I know this is a shonen, is One Piece. The death's probabilities are very low, but death still exists even in OP and show us a Seppuku could be a great oportunity to explore more in the minds of what Japan called Samurai & its Bushido code.

Is only an option. Could and couldn't happen anyway.

Wait does Luffy know Pound's dead?

I think noone knows... but he would have protected Pound, and attacked Oven himself.

But One Piece is a typical shonen that would give us the message "suicide for honour is BS"

Or they show it to us, in order to educate us about the brutality of the samurai lifestyle

In what may be a foreshadowing of Blackbeard's secret, I highly believe Kaido ( and possibly Linlin ) may have another passenger riding around in his body...kinda like Moriah and Oars.

Going with that, I could see something super dramatic like Kaido ultimately committing seppuku to end not just his life but that of whoever's inside his body. In other words, imagine Oars deciding to go out like a fucking samurai....by stabbing Moriah, ending both.

Would be an epic follow-up to Whitebeard's Benkei-stye death. Maybe Zoro will act as his executioner/assistant even? Imagine the fucking bounty hike that'd follow Zoro decapitating Kaido ( context be damned, IT'S BIG NEWS ). I mean we all know Sanji's gonna be inevitably one-upped in some humorous fashion by arc's end, no?
