    Sabo's amnesia could have been caused by Kuma - removing memories that were painful to reflect on or got in the way somehow. Did his memory coming back tie in with any Kuma related events that may count as 'death' or be a reason for taken memories to be ejected? Maybe the removal of all of Kuma's memories returned those not belonging to him to their original owners.

      @Soitisisit 8 месяцев назад +2

      Honestly, this makes me sad he didn't get to live and have kids of his own. While inherited will is more important than genetics, we need more people like him in the OP world and there's at least the hope that inherited lineage factor would come along with inherited will like it does in the Monkey family. ( At least, that's my take on it, the exact manifestation is wildly different between the three, but they've all got very similar core traits and motivations. ) It also would've been nice to have the happy married life AU for Kuma based on how we see him now. But hey, that's heroic tragedy for ya and he made the best possible out of what he got from fate and Bonney at least has ended up much the better for it so far. Time will tell what else becomes of it. Tbf, we see Oda present the antithesis of this idea of inheriting your will from your ancestors in Edward Weevil who I actually genuinely think is Newgate's albeit uh... probably under unwilling circumstance. She... seems like she'd do that. I still haven't seen enough of Weevil to know quite what to make of him. It's interesting how it presents both sides of the coin when it comes to the importance of blood kinship to family and the importance of bonds of love. Both are presented as valid in their contexts, but obviously the latter is far more emphasized. Probably the more important anyway, so.

    I don't know if Oda actually said anything about not planning Bonney or Kuma beforehand. What he said is that he came up with the shichibukai and the supernovas on the fly, but that alone doesn't mean that all of those characters were created at the exact time he came up with those ideas, so it's very likely that Kuma, Bonney, and even some of the other warlords and supernovas were already planned in some way, and Oda just adapted them to fit the new idea.

    i started reading OP when we were in the peak of the big 3 : naruto, bleach and OP. it came 3rd on my list and i started reading at the beginning of the war with the marines.
    to say Oda has retcon everything is a understatement imo. he retcon so much that nothing you read back then makes sense now. point and case : sabo.
    also kuddos to Kishimoto, the mangaka of Naruto, who managed to complete the whole manga in 700 chapters. Oda is at 1100 now and it feels like there's another 500 coming.
    we might even go to chapter 2000 in OP which would be just... insane

      How was Sabo a retcon? Nothing of the little we saw from Luffy's past at the beggining of the series denied his possible existence, and when we finally get the context of how Ace and Luffy met Sabo was introduced (name dropped before, Dadan too), absolutely no retcon in this, what happened was closer to "recontextualization", kinda annoying how grandline used this term as a clickbait.

This must have been when he decided to look after Luffy and the crew from behind the scenes until Sabaody.

    Just a thought that crossed my mind, but I'm under the impression that Kuma regained his memories the moment Bonney touched the Kuma bubble containing the truth, and as such, Kuma realized after regaining his memories that he knows exactly where Bonnie is. This is assuming that Kuma somehow knows that Bonnie touched his memory bubble, which my gut is telling me that he somehow would. This explains Kuma's panic to leave the revolutionary army and furiously get to the destination he needs to get to.
    Also the recent explanations of his power would suggest that his memories would return to him if his memory bubble was ruptured for any reason because everything that is repelled eventually must be consumed by another being, or else it would return to its original owner. For memories specifically, it must be impossible for another being to retain those memories in its tangible form (kuma bubble), but would develop their own memories of the memories, and then the bubble would dissipate to its original owner, Kuma.
    I'm telling you this is exactly what is happening. I also predict Bonney will become a strawhat, and maybe even Kuma too (although he may return to the revolutionary army.) Bonnie's dream is to travel the world with Kuma, so that qualifies her, as well as her fleshed out backstory.

    I have no doubts in my mind that if Luffy says "to where the One Piece is" but Luffy will refuse to go there if Kuma offers to take him there since he'd go there himself, assuming Kuma knows where Laugh Tale is that is.

      Well yeah she was improvised. Oda said he didn’t plan the 11 supernovas until Saboedy. Meaning. Bonney is part of that 11

      @@johnnoreau3570Doesnt mean all of her character is improvised on the fly, Kuma existed alot earlier and so It could be possible that the dad daughter plot from him was already an idea just not fully thought out and even started in the story.

      @@Ju-Peter667 guess you don’t follow along with the rest of the class when it was literally revealed BY ODA THE AUTHOR HIMSELF. That the supernovas. THIS INCLUDES BONNEY. was made. Literally the night before the chapter dropped. This would mean. None of her was thought out. As NONE OF THE supernovas were planned. Outside of. Luffy Teach and Zoro.
      So go ahead and tell me some more about the story you’re not paying attention to.

    If Saturn is a Devil. Then if Kuma made a deal with the devil, the devil would HAVE to honor that deal. (If Bonnie gets hurts the deal is off). Either Saturn will be killed instantly (somehow) because he broke a deal/contract. This is why he didn't resist Bonnie's attack
