User blog comment:Fliu/Chapter 933: A Wano Rose Withers?/@comment-24850639-20190215184516

- I actually called a while back that Orochi's fruit would be the Hebi Hebi no Mi: Yamata no Orochi, but actually seeing it.....I'm surprised it's not the Ryu Ryu no Mi. Those definitely look more like classic dragon heads, but ah well. It seems the heads are all neurologically linked, but I'm curious to see to just how that works. Did his other heads attack people of their own will, or was he just lashing out because he was upset? Either way, this chapter didn't really give us anything I feel that can help us actually assess Orochi's raw strength.

- It was nice to see some of the Oniwabanshu named, as I've really been enjoying their character designs. I guess Fuujin and Raijin just ride catfish as their means of transportation? Lol. Daikoku looks like he might be their top fighter, but we'll see. Hanzo looking at Nami bent over on all fours was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while, but him cutting Shinobu off because he was sure that wasn't her made my morning. I've been enjoying the girl with the flowers in her hair, maybe she'll be named soon. Ultimately though, the group seems well informed of the things going on around the the capital, so I wonder where they usually operate from. I imagine they're actively investigating the Witching Hour Boy and the disturbances Brook has been causing, and were probably at Orochi's banquet for security.

- Perhaps I'm reading too much into this, but the signs I've seen seem to point to Orochi not being all that great of a swordsman. Kyoshiro demonstrated very precise technique this chapter, making an accurate cut at blinding speed with one hand, and was shown to be able to use Iai (draw-and-resheathe style) almost effortlessy. In One Piece, and pretty much all manga/anime I've seen, this is the classic sign of someone who is at the very least decently capable with a blade in their hand. On the contrary, Orochi held the hilt of one sword with 2 hands, and swung wildly at a little girl who likely isn't much of a fighter. His dialogue at the end of last chapter also seemed to place emphasis on how he "won". We all know Kaido is the real reason Orochi got one over on Oden, but I still expected to be more impressed with Orochi himself.

- The Straw Hats have offiicially crashed the Shogun's party, and this is that part of the arc where shit gets really real.

Luffy: Imprisoned becaused he tried to beat up Kaido

Zoro: Doing God knows what, because his time in Ebisu was a flashback, and the time he spent before that involved him fighting the Yakuza offscreen.

Sanji: Either still fighting Page 1, or on the run from the rest of the Flying Six

Chopper: CHILLING WITH FUCKING BIG MOM

Franky & Usopp: On the run to Ebisu town, because the Flying Six were investigating Sanji, and Hawkins is on the hunt for Law

Robin, Nami & Brook: Just fucked up the Shogun's party in such epic fashion that the entire Flower Capital heard it
