Very crude way to put it lol, but I see nothing I disagree with.

I've lost track now of the amount of moments we have in the series of it being foretold that someone is going to come change the world in a big way, but it happening during a certain timeframe. Even before the recent chapter with Roger's comments, Rayleigh had previously said something about them being "too early", or not being the right people to do what needed to be done with the information they received. Whitebeard's final words confirmed that Roger is "waiting" on someone. Joy Boy's letter. The Sea Kings speaking about the Noah. This is all prior to the recent stuff we've learned since Wano started. Pedro's comments on the Straw Hats are what really brought it home for me though, he's been the only person to date who's truly made it feel like this climactic moment is definitely on the horizon, and not just some distant prophecy.

It will be incredibly interesting what Uranus turns out to be. At the moment, I'm not completely sold that Uranus and Joy Boy aren't one in the same. Given that one of the ancient weapons we've gotten so far is a living being, and one is not, possibilities are open for the remaining one. I was incredibly disappointed that Oden's flashback didn't really give us too much of his interactions with Toki, because boy I'm sure they had some incredibly interesting conversations about the world's history. Considering Toki likely brought some knowledge with her from the Void Century, the couple was probably a walking forbidden enccylopedia.
