So Kyoshiro was indeed Denjiro damn and on top of that he is also Ushimitsu/Witching hour boy. So the nickname Kyoshiro the sleepy was because he spent his nightime distributing money to the poor and felt sleepy in the day cause of that. He's a great guy.

Watching the final events from 20 years ago was sad.

"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on."

Assuming this chapter will be the last one set in this arc's flashback, we just witnessed the longest flashback we ever seen in One Piece. This one began at chapter 959 till 973, making it lasts 14 chapters and 6 months of publishing. While the other ones lasted about 7~8 chapters.

After seeing Denjiro in the flashback, this comes as a surprise, but before that it was legit to assume Denjiro = Kyoshiro, there were many hints and he had to be on Wano.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Toei also kinda spoiled this by including Kyoshiro with the scabbards.

Man we had a feeling that Kyoshiro had to be Denjiro somehow. The way he had slashed Komurasaki, along with being the witching hour boy. Dang what a good guy. Not to mention I bet he must be in pain and hurting so much to see Yasuie executed. Not to also mention that he wanted his name and secret be kept from his allies so he can make his attack and strike to come at the right moment, and asked Hiyori to keep it.

this chapter is too dull. even when wano arc is already worse than the rest of the story
if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that.

Really nice chapter showing some interesting glimpses of the final part of Oden's last day alive.

The anime kinda spoilered in the opening the twist that Denjiro was Kyoshiro, but it would have been a really nice twist if I wasn't already aware of the fact, for sure <3

He told Hiyori that he was "so possessed by the demon of anger that it disfigured his face."

On topic, well I guess I'm just really oblivious or something because I didn't have any suspicions about Kyoshiro actually being Denjiro. I guess that finally explains his whereabouts. Tbh I thought Zoro's old teacher would somehow play a role in revealing Denjiro, but I guess not.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

Great chapter.

Yeah, I never suspected Kyoshiro as Denjiro as well but it makes sense after he left Hiyori alive. This is actually great, I'm really looking forward to seeing Orochi's face when Denjiro betrays him.

Is it safe to assume that Toki's words refer to the scabbards now?

Kaidou showed Momonosuke mercy, perhaps there is some hope left in him.

only really interesting thing from this chapter was the reveal of Kyoshiro as Denjiro
I am hoping to God that this is the end of the flashback, I think we've seen everything we need to see in the past at this point. even this chapter felt like it wasn't really necessary and could have been summed in a few pages rather than a full chapter.

I guess I read a poor translated version, re-reading the official release I got to understand better, yet I don't know why Oda started with Oden alive and then changed to the samurais escaping.

Orochi didn't found Oden's bones/body? Interesting... now I wonder if Big Mom revived him using her DF and this was Kaido's debt BM talked about so many chapters ago?

?? No hate, but I think you mean more symbolically why it started from Oden, well Oda wanted readers and viewers to "fall in love" with Oden like his vassals did. That's why we saw his adventures.

I know what I meant, I don't see any reason for starting with Oden, besides the fact that it shows young Hiyori practising shamisen, it just felt like Oda wanted to show it was a skill she got from her childhood, but didn't know when to place it. Also there was a whole arc about Oden, 3 pages with a flashback wouldn't make readers "fall in love" with him,. the whole arc did.

I guess we officially come full circle with this backstory, so much stuff made sense and made put into place now, Oda does it again.
So, was it Denjirou the witching hour boy? That baffles me.

Finally got the confirmation we were waiting for. The way Denjiro became Kyoshiro, and he came to protect Komurasaki/Hiyori after 20 years is so good.

It's for Momo as well, he's afraid of heights. Being kindly held high by Oden was a fun experience, but then being chocked above ground by Kaido traumatized him.

Also, this was hinted back at the start of Dressrosa

Pretty much what Saurian_X said. The flashback doesn't necessarily focus on Oden himself, but on his relationship with the kids. I'd say it makes sense to put it here, since afterwards the chapter presents the struggles that both Hiyori and Momo had to deal with after their father's death.

I mean, to be fair, this twist was technically revealed as early as the first episode of Wano in the anime last year (during the opening sequence showing all of the Nine Red Scabbards). But given that a lot of readers don't touch the anime in a long while, I'm not quite as surprised they didn't know about it. Not like engaging with the community would make them any less worthy anyway (not that you are saying that either, ofc).

Oh of course, I wasn't trying to demean anyone, just saying that the theory of Kyoshiro being the last scabbard has been mentioned by many in the community for months, by many high profile community people like Tekking101, JoyBoy, Artur, etc that I can assume only very casual readers would find this surprising.
