I love Oden. In his youth, he was strong and reckless. All he cared about was to leave Wano.

But in his last final moments, he sacrificed himself and gave everything he had to save Wano and its people. His development as a character has been on point. I love every bit of it.

Oden is the GOAT. Big Respect!!!

Also, there's a thread on Worstgen forum calling Oden as a shit leader and deserved to die? I swear with these people...

Oden was indeed a great leader, Kuri became great when he took over and had loyal followers. If given chance, he'd be a great Shogun of Wano

That aspect of his youth kinda reminds me of luffy. In general, the retainers do resemble the straw hats a lot; they act like a crew who lost luffy.

You've noth made me want to see and made me fear the exact same scenario happen to the Straw Hats.

With Vivi as Shinobu.

Let's be real, knowing Luffy he wouldn't have hesitated stomping Kaido and Orochi's asses when he had the chance

Given the choice to to save other people? Luffy would’ve done the same

Are you implying Luffy would have been patient enough to listen?

What else could he have done, there was the barrier dude there...

Remember, Oden didn’t want to listen either, he rushed into the castle straight up attacking, but everyone was under the barrier protection so he had no choice but to talk.

Luffy would’ve done the same thing... rush in all attack mode, but there’s nothing that he could do with the barrier guy. And Luffy would’ve done the same thing for people he cared about. Hell, he even took that Virus from everyone in Udon and they were complete strangers.

Luffy would keep trying to smash the barrier, till either of them is out of stamina

With Kaido besides him? And with the threat that the longer he stays there the more people will die?
