By the way, that "Oda is stupid" comment I made was a joke. Only because you pointed out that talk page in the chat. I didn't want to explain that it was a joke, because if I had to, I'd be working at Family Guy's writing staff by now. Because they like explaining jokes.

Sabo's survival was not "obvious" because the only evidence that supports him being alive were vague foreshadowings that almost seemed baseless. If Sabo's survival was obvious, it wouldn't be so debated between the OP fanbase like a religious debate or a Goku vs. Superman argument. If Sabo's death was obvious, Oda would have never answered the question about him on the SBS, because nobody would have asked it, because it was obvious.
