Discussion Sabo Thread

[KuroKarasu]

Well, its just a thought, there has to be a side effect to the accident, the recovery and change in the ideals. He never met Ace or Luffy even after joining the RA for such a long time. One of the explanations would be amnesia. While I do agree it is a silly explanation, I don't think the explanation would necessarily suck, if Oda did use it.

Here is why I think Amnesia is a plausible explanation (not necessarily what will happen or if it is cool)

Sabo was attacked and damaged by a bazooka, he has to have gone through some physical or even mental damage
He never reappeared to save Ace or Luffy til now and neither knew about his existence
His name or identity is still not revealed... We know he is Sabo, but the manga still did not introduce him by name yet

Let us wait and see, again, I don't say this is the only possible explanation, but I do feel if Oda introduces him with this, the story can still proceed in a cool fashion

You are right maybe I was too early calling it "silly explanation". But I don't think his ideals changed at all. His dream was to become a pirate but not to become the pirate king (like Luffy and Ace at first) but to gain freedom. He wanted to write a book and he wanted to change how the world works in terms of royals and so on. He was actually more fitting to be a revolutionary in the first place he just didn't know that the revolutionaries existed. If he knew then I don't think he would've wanted to be a pirate anymore.

The thing with amnesia is that many people are already saying that Sabo wasn't even hinted until Marineford arc (Ace's tattoo isn't enough as a clear hint to a third brother). So he was introduced and seemingly killed off pretty soon afterwards. If thw whole explanation why he didn't contact Ace and Luffy is that he had an amnesia then it would be like Oda saying: "You're right I had no plans for Sabo until Marineford"...It's just the easiest way to get a plausible explanation and therefore not a good one for me.
