- Speed remains fully aware of her position and status as a Beast  Pirate. I don't see this boding well for her or Tama/Hitetsu if someone reaches out to her about what the heck is going on. Several Beast Pirates witnessed her following Tama's orders in Bakura Town, and because of the story with Holdem, we know the Beast Pirates are aware of Tama's ability. Hitetsu specifically warned her about the enemy becoming aware of her abilities. Either Oda is going to completely ignore this, or Tama will be in danger yet again next time we see her.

- Oda has once again called out Zoro's interest in the Nidai Kitetsu, so this will definitely have some kind of payoff.

- Speaking of  Zoro, him going off on his own likely denotes the beginning of an individual quest, which people have been clamoring for Zoro since we got here, as we all kinda knew it was coming. Current speculation has him making his way back to Okobore or Bakura to tussle with the likes of Jack, but I'm currently convinced he will end up somewhere else entirely. Oda tends to use these opportunities to show us new stuff, rather than diving deeper into things we've already seen.

- The teacher's design is inspired by something known as a "Rokurokubi". I'm much more inclined to believe this is a legitimate variation of the Hebi Hebi no Mi than a Snake SMILE. For SMILE users there is generally some representation of the animial in their base design. That is not the case here, and if she were a member of the Snakeneck tribe, her neck would naturally be that long.

- Orochi is potentially implied to be a Nitoryu user, which in my mind confirms that a showdown with Zoro is inevitable.

- Kyoshiro's employment by the Kurozumi Clan is pretty obvious, but his actual loyalty is not. It seems pretty clear that he isn't Orochi's biggest fan, but doesn't seem to be working against his will either. I wonder what would cause him to throw caution to the wind and admit his shenanigans, when we saw how easily it almost got Tsuru killed.

- The prophecy of Oden's wife is certainly going to come true one way or another, but I'm hard-pressed to believe it refers to the Straw Hats alone. I'm honestly more likely to believe Supernova that the Straw Hats, thought I'm not too crazy about either theory. More importantly I wanna know how the heck Oden's wife knew this, and what role she potentially played sending in those guys into the future. A time DF seems pretty hax, so I wonder if it's some kind of last-ditch effort to produce a certain outcome, like how the Ope Ope no Mi has the Perennial Youth operation.

- We're shown 3 more graves in addition to the 8 we saw last week. There was a hidden one behind Kanjuro and Raizo's, but more importantly, a hidden one among the Kozuki graves. The graves with the roofs denoted Kozuki clan members, and there was an additional 4th one revealed this week behind Oden's. We still don't have names for some of these characters, but I imagine that is because they will all be revealed in a huge flashback that tells the story of the last days of Oden castle.

- Really not cool with Momonosuke suddenly appearing in Wano, when we all thought he was back on Zou talking to Zunisha. Where the hell are the Mink then? I don't like the sudden arrival of the Curly Brow Pirates either, but at least in their case we get an explanation of what the heck they've been up to. They had reason to go searching for Luffy, given that he told them he'd be right behind them. How the heck did Momo make it back to Wano?
