Early chapter this week! Overall, it scaled quite a bit back compared to recent chapters, but still advanced the plot quite a bit.

The Orochi ninjas look rather dangerous, and I hope they'll be relevant in the chapters to come. I do kind of wish Robin was able to be undercover longer, but at the same time it does say a lot about the skill of ninja and the level of security here on Wano. Plus, it looks like Nami will be shouldering a lot of the undercover stuff, so Robin has my full blessing to kick some ninja ass in the near future.

Kyoshiro continues to interest me, especially with the reveal that he helped bring up Komurasaki into who she is today...which is interesting, because there was a moment in her flashback in 928 that made it look like he had slept with her. So what exactly are his teaching methods? There is some talk about how loyal Kyoshiro will be to Orochi, and that he may end up being an ally, but if he's this down and dirty it may be doubtful.

Orochi talking about the Oden prophecy again and the guests making fun of it sort of underwhelmed me, since we were already aware of this whole dynamic. Though I have to say, the dude's paranoia is approaching pretty accurate levels which is sure to affect the plot eventually. Though I guess it is a good lead-in to the chaos that's about to break out in the banquet now, so I can understand why this was all brought up again.

Overall, I'd say this was an OK chapter. What ended up in here probably could have been condensed a bit, and honestly, I just want to get back to whatever's going on with Big Mom. But I suppose I'll have to be patient.
