Kyoshiro's loyalty (or lack thereof) to Orochi has always piqued my interest since his introduction. He was introduced at a time, and in a way that makes it pretty ambiguous who's side that he's actually on. He's in the direct employ of the secondary antagonist of the arc, yet doesn't seem all too impressed with his boss. He's shown in the last chapter to actually have some sense of morality, however it's rather clear from his earlier actions this arc that he's far from a saint. To top it off, he's head of an organization that is an absolute institution in Wano - as in the Yakuza is going to exist regardless of who is Shogun, Daimyo,  or otherwise in charge. In other words, even though he's already seemingly picked a side, the amount of influence he commands would make him an asset to both sides of the conflict. It's been a while since Oda has introduced a character THIS complex, if ever.

Oda decided to really kick things up a notch with the Kyoshiro-Orochi relationship this chapter, and dropped subtlety off at the front door. There were panels this chapter where Kyoshiro looked just flat out disgusted/annoyed with Orochi, and by the end of the chapter he's ready to draw his sword to protect Komurasaki. There's a lot of different directions Oda can go with his backstory. Main thing I wanna put out there though, is that Oda has made it clear that he and Komurasaki are working together. When you combine the fact that she has a tendency to acquire rather large sums of money from people, and the fact that he's a purveyor for the Kurozumi clan, the possibilities are quite interesting. If you were to take a this a step deeper, and decide that not only do you believe that Komurasaki = Hiyori, but that Kyoshiro is aware of this as well, that REALLY opens things up for his role in the story.
