Ah, ok so he isn't actually from Wano but was rised there just like Kawamatsu, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi. On that note before Wano I was wondering why our mink rulers have "Japan styled" names. Turned out that on top of being rised in believe that minks and Wano are "sworns sibilings" they were also rised there under Odens wing. Anyway, my opinion that Moria don't deserve to go back to Wano still hold. After all you don't steal local sacred treasure and then come back like nothing happened. BUT fact that Moria is related to Wano may have interesting implications. You know, because once he learn that it was Luffy who saved Wano from Kaido he may change his mind about him and may actually want to assist him at some point.
I love the theory that Buggy is actually Rocks’ son and BB is an imposter but there is no real evidence , just a funny conclusion. I do wonder how Buggy joined the pirate crew though.

And I imagine Moria would be welcomed into Wano like how the Minks were too. I'm quite interested, because it could be another way Cross Guild infiltrates Wano, in addition to Buggy being Oden's friend and Crocodile being interested in Pluton, I could see a lot of plot development coming from this.

Ehh, knowing Crocodiles politics and way of treating kingdoms that "guested him" it would turn into another pirat invasion. Just like it was in Kaidos case. And honestly I don't want to see this again.

Well Crocodile used deception and covert methods back in Alabasta, where a war only happened because citizens fought amongst themselves.
I can also see this being a lot of character conflict and development for Yamato, having to decide whether to listen to Moria and Buggy because of their pasts with Wano that they tell her about.
I'm slowly approaching peakiest parts of Wano and previously when I watched Wano arc week to week I forgot one thing. Fact that Orochi is extremely annoying. In fact I think his VA put extra efforts to make him sound as obnoxious as possible. Even his laugh sounds like random gurgling half time. Anyway, on topic of Orochis minions. I seen this before but I still can't get over how evil Kanjuro turned out to be. Like where in the world he kept all off that? Sure we seen people who are using image of most trusted and loved characters for their own gain like Doflamingo or Crocodile (by ordering Bon Clay around but still) but what Kanjuro did is something else. It's just so horrible that even his tragic past can't justify it. Also wow, fact how delusional and childish is Big Mom is beyond me. Even as old lady she still believe she's "just" only because Mother Carmel once told her she can do no wrong. Also it's almost hilarious that she talked about "humanity and justice" while also being about to ruin Wano even further alongside with Kaido. And not just that, they wanted to plunge entier world into endless war. Where is humanity and justice in this? But in this almost final part of Wano most interesting thing is Luffys first defeat. After all we still don't know how come he could apparently use "voice of all things" to communicate with Momo. I mean sure, subconsciously but how did he get there? Seriously, at that moment final act of Wano brought more questions than answers and it wasn't touched again to this point. But I like how much relevance Luffys past experiences gained during raid on Onigashima. For example someone who never seen weapon being drenched in conqueror would never realize that's the reason why Kaidos attacks are soo powerful and heavy. Luffy saw it really early and now could put that knowledge to use. Fact that it was Hancock who was first person we seen who was able to put haki into things dosen't spark joy though. It is interesting that she is THIS strong but you know, it still annoys me because I don't like her.

Btw, while observing various side characters during Onigashima raid I realized that Loki already existed back then, just in pieces. Snake gifter Poker had Lokis habit of sticking out his tongue and hiden eyes (I would mention his "pointy beard" but that was actually just chin so you know) and Who's Who had long pink hair and also hiden eyes. Once I finish Wano I will actually watch Egghead arc for first time because I took break so episodes could stack but I heard during Dorry and Broggys "rescue mission" some pretty strong pink haired giant showed up. So mayby Oda had some ideas on how Loki should look for some time already but when they didn't "clicked" for him he just reused them for other characters. I'm glad he gave Loki goatie instead of following Pokers face design. He would look really stupid with long chin.
Btw, I don't remember if it was like that in manga too but it seems like other gifter had misfortune of getting Killers SMILE power. Poor dude will stuck as head and tiny arms sticking out of elephant.
Well, Oda also stated he didn't want to make it a part of the story so I doubt he'll bring it back. I do think he will be a part of the story though. Cross-guild is a possibility and the way I see that happen is through Garp's bounty. Moria hides in the shadows of BBP trying to collect Garp's bounty poster, results in realizing about it and appears there. Or through Perona, who insists on taking him to Mihawk. I think Moria will have some mini-redemption towards Luffy, joining the small list of antagonist becoming their friends albeit temporarily.
So I finished Wano like 2 days ago and I already miss it. I loved the vibe of that arc. Last opening of Wano arc is one of best for me. It's soo celebratory. Seriously, "Sekai no owari" did amazing job with that one. But honestly seeing what's going on in newest chapter fact that "white from" got awakened first instead of this weird feral form seem like really odd choice. Why showing successful form BEFORE "failed awakening" form?

HP, i've been great. Extremely busy as life caught up. I hope you've been doing great as well
I’m just looking forward to how this will finally bring Yamato back into the story. Moria is adopted as a Kozuki, similar to how the Scabbards were adopted into the Kozuki circles. So that will def be quite the conundrum for Yamato to deal with over where her loyalties are at.

I don’t think Moria is going to cause any conflict of loyalties for Yamato, the Kozuki siblings, or the Scabbards. They owe Luffy and the Strawhats way too much.
If anything, Moria (if he joins CG) will be the one facing conflict of loyalties. And even then it won’t be much of a conflict, because he doesn’t owe CG anything. They aren’t the ones who saved him.
I watched Egghead arc up to Sabos return. It honestly escalated as quickly as beggining of Wano. Strawhats literally JUST came to Egghead and they immedietly got involved into Vegapunks assassination in role of his protectors. Yorks motivation for betraying her creator is pissing me off. I would kinda understand if she did that because she felt undervalued due to fact that she's basicaly glorified digestive system with snooze function for all Vegapunks. But because she want to be even lazier and get even more food as Celestial Dragon is just horrible reason. Espesially since she will deffinetly die if she successfully replicate Motherflame. Celestial Dragons dosen't let outsiders into their ranks after all, no matter who they are. So it's extremely naive of her to think she will survive once she finish her job and won't be needed anymore. Blackbeard is pissing me off too. I'm genuinely soo glad he lost Coby, slaves for sale and his beloved Hachinosu became sea of rubble while he was trying to get Laws fruit. Although it sucks that instead of Coby he now have Garp. He's faaar bigger fish after all so to get him back and keep their face Government may really grant Hachinosu status of kingdom making Blackbeard a king. And Kidd, yeeeaaah Kidd. He got destroyed soo fast he didn't even had time to think. He really had death wish the size of planet, I don't think he's dead though. I still believe he have some role to play in the end.
Also well, I feel like Blackbeard is kinda doomed. His crew (or rather random crooks he took in) dosen't really care about his wishes. They knew exactly that he planned to use Coby for something and they were still ready to ruin his plan for quick money from Cross Guild. I swear to God if Blackbeard won't meet similar fate as his father I will be extremely surprised.

Well, it seems that is how he runs his crew, everyone is in it for themselves and Blackbeard knows this and doesn't care. I think it will be the different, and when he starts losing, his crew will actually stick by him, at least his initial crew, not the ones he got from Impel Down.
