Review
This week’s chapter starts off right where we left off. We get the official reveal of the Shoguns devil fruit ability, it’s the Mythical snake type Yamata no Orochi, just like most of us thought. Orochi implores Komurasaki to beg for her forgiveness but she is strong willed and refuses. He then takes her in the jaws of one of his 8 heads. The whole castle erupts in more chaos and Brook shows up and scares the Wano citizens in the castle. Robin also uses her powers to try to escape.
Nami and Shinobu drop from the ceiling and fall on Orochi’s head and Komurasaki falls out of his jaws. She lands in front of the most mysterious man in Wano, Kyoshiro. In a shocking turn of events to me, he strikes her down. Orochi is furious but Kyoshiro goes on to express anyone who defies the shogun in such a manner deserves it. A true samurai. He says he was showing her a Samurai’s mercy. Death by honor. Now, do I think she’s actually going to die? No. This may be part of his plan, I do believe Kyoshiro is plotting a hostile takeover by gaining the Shoguns trust. He did see a glimpse of the Fire Festival invasion image. I think he knows what will come but will not tell anyone. He probably wants it to happen, use that chaos to take power at the end. Hell, he might even be a good guy and is actually waiting for the Kozuki to return. The commotion reaches its climax when Nami uses Zeus to thunder clap the castle.
We then break to Chopper and crew. They just fed Big Mom what they had but she is still hungry. In her child like state, she is thankful for them giving her food even though they are poor. Looks like they want to take her somewhere but Chopper fears her regaining her memories, which I believe she will. There are 9 days until the Fire Festival, they’ll use Big Mom as best they can but at some crucial point, I think she will regain her memories slowly or even go on another rampage out of hunger.
Conclusion
Pretty straight forward and focused chapter. Saw the climax of the incident on the Shoguns castle. Set up moral stances of characters with subtle hints of possible plot twists.
