One Piece Ends Wano Saga With Major Deaths Off-Screen

By Megan Peters

One Piece has spent years in Wano at this point, but at last, the manga is starting to wrap things up. The war against Kaido is over, and a new era has dawned over the country thanks to the Kozuki family's comeback. The clan has its vassals to thank for its unlikely return to power, but not all of them were lucky enough to see Momonosuke avenge his dad. After all, One Piece did confirm this week two of the family's allies died off-screen during the War for Wano.

The update was given this week when One Piece put out its latest chapter. It was there fans checked on Momonosuke as the new shogun began cleaning up the capital. The Flower City is reeling from the news of Kaido's defeat, and the win did come at a cost. Izo and Ashura were killed in battle as it turns out, and their deaths took place off-screen.

The manga confirmed that Izo and Ashura passed away from their injuries during Momo's war against Kaido. The rest of the vassals made it out of the conflict alive. Despite their touch-and-go situation, Kinemon did live to see Momo reclaim Wano with his bloodline. Denjiro, Kikunojo, Kawamatsu, Nekomamushi, Inurashi, and Raise all appear to be fine as well. However, Kanjuro's fate is up in the air right now, but it might be for the best if the traitor dies.

For the next bit, One Piece will be busy tying up loose ends in Wano. Momo may have taken back the shogun's seat, but the country has plenty to do before the transfer of power can be complete. This doesn't even touch upon the World Government's anger over the war and how it will retaliate against the rebels. But so long as Luffy is there, fans know things will work out in the end.

What do you think about these deaths occurring off-screen? Should One Piece have kept these two alive...? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB.
