Hi! I wanted to bring up a topic about Oda just basically killing every mother in series that is a "good mother". He just killed:
-Banchina(Mother of Usopp)
-Vinsmoke Sora(Mother of Sanji)
-Nico Olvia(Mother of Robin)
-Bell-mere(Marental figure and adoptive mother of Nami)
-Nefertari Titi(Mother of Vivi)
-Otohime(Mother of Shirahoshi)
-Scarlett(Mother of Rebecca)
-Portgas D. Rouge(Mother of Ace)
-Kozuki Toki(Mother of Momonosuke and Hiyori)
And many others,and that's not even considering mothers of really irrelevant characters like Russian(Senor Pink wife and mother of Gimlet) that were also killed.
Also, haven't even seen anything about other character's mothers, like Luffy. We are well-aware of Monkey D.Dragon, his father, but the mother of the future king of the pirates hasn't even been mentioned. If someday we get some info, my bets is that Oda will make her another just plot-wise dead mother with maximum 1-2 flashbacks lmao.
I just noticed that Oda tends to kill the marental figure from a story if is going to be a good mother. Others for example like Miss Bakkin or Big Mom, who are just straight horrible mothers, are kept alive and has some plot(bigger in terms of Big Mom and minnor in terms of Bakkin), but they have actual plot without being killed xD.
What do you think about this?
