Whew! This one took a while. A lot of research, hard work and refining went into making this analysis. Just trying to break down Oden’s final words was already quite a challenge, but on top of that some of the other things said in this chapter help confirm some long-standing theories and hint towards bigger things.

However, I was originally planning to talk about all of these things here in this analysis, but I felt that not only would I keep you waiting too long for this analysis, but that it’d take away from other important things in this chapter like Oden’s death. I don’t want to rush working on all the big things this chapter is hinting to, so I’d like to take more time with researching all of that since it’s all part of a much larger picture. I hope you can wait for me to have more time to work on all this information, tied with other big information, and only release it when I’ve been able to present it in as complete of a form as possible. I apologize for that, but I don’t wish to rush any of my content and I want to make sure to present this in the best and highest quality way possible!

Eitherway, don’t let that detract from a lot of the other things in this chapter that are so special, including the brilliance that Oda put into Oden’s final words, which I’ll go into in an extensive multi-page breakdown. Enjoy!

Alright, this next part we’ll go into great depth, so if you want some music to listen to, listen to this!

Something that always confused me was why in the anime Oden sounded like a kabuki actor, with a very exaggerated voice. This chapter finally explains it, because Oden was in fact imitating Kabuki and striking a pose with his final words, to go out in a theatrical way!
