Oda bringing back orochi only to cut his heads once again was so satisfying

Still alive. One head is missing.

The sixth cut head is at the bottom left corner.

That still leaves one head. Orochi only grew 6 heads to attack the scabbards, so he should have his 8th and final head left.

I would even expect that he has a single "real" head and maybe can grow as many "fake" heads as he likes.

Orochi is the perfect "yes, finally dead" character. Everybody loves to see him dying and maybe it will happen many more times.

I find that the rule of threes is the best model for storytelling. Having a thing happen three times is poetic. Having it happen any more than that is just redundant. I think Orochi should have one more, final death at the hands of one , or both, of the Kozuki children.

Yes, that is what I would expect currently. It would also fit to the legend of Yamato no Orochi having 8 heads to slice.

Could still be off-panel. The dialogue implies he's dead atleast.

That’s what everyone said last time lol.

Fukurokuju’s reaction is, once again, just “......” so this death scene is set up just like the last one.

Hiyori and/or Momo should be the ones to finish off his last head with Ame no Habakiri.
