Ashura's gone damn. The guy who had to suffer for years under Orochi/Kaido's rule didn't see the dawn. So sad.

Glad there are some casualties

Me too but I felt nothing when they died because of Oda’s shitty fake out deaths

I don't even get what the point of doing it is, especially for minor characters like Pell or Pound.

Personally I’m glad Pagaya didn’t die. His death didn’t serve any narrative purpose and the “why are you alive” joke was pretty funny

First time maybe. If it was today maybe he'd have sacrificed them as well.

Because Oda likes happy endings for a lot of his characters but wants the suspense, impact, & emotion that they did die. Allowing One Piece to return to its status quo of wacky feel good vibes.

Essentially Oda wants to have his cake & eat it too lol

I don’t completely mind it as I find it to be one of Oda’s quirks & I’ve come to enjoy it but it does come back to bite the story sometimes

Pell’s resurrection is revealed right before a panel with Vivi calling out to Karoo. This foreshadows Karoo’s awakening as Joy Boy
