no, it's in the manga as well

However, the quote from Iva reffered to "Terrible burns". There was nothing in Sabo's death scene that could have burned that badly him without blasting him to smithereens, considering his boat was smashed to bits so he fell in the water.

Compared to Grey Terminal, which had a big fire with a lot of flammable things, and not as much water, then was vissited by Dragon, who then took people away...

Short story is, JustSomeDude got it in one.

And if your going to say there's no point to that scene otherwise, then I must ask you what the point of showing Pell allive was? Or having Perona and Hancock and Herecule and the others help the Straw hats at Sabaody instead of them jsut fighting their way out? You could apply that logic to hundreds of small details in OP, but instead you only apply it to this one because doing so makes it look like you have evidence Sabo lived. Frankly, I'm utterly fed up of people doing that.
