Hey, guys! Looks like it's time we finally learn more of Wano's history! Credit goes to Redon and co. at AP for the info:
-Chapter title is "Enter Kouzuki Oden". Ministory involves Capone mistaking a couple random ladies for Lola.
-The chapter introduces us to several characters aside from Oden. First off, we see a younger Kinemon, who back then was a roughneck hooligan who stole from others. We also see his future wife Tsuru (whose full name is
Tsurujo), as well as a younger Hyougoro, who chased down Kinemon as he owed him money. Interestingly, the flashback introduces us to
Denjirou, as well....
-We're also introduced to the prior shogun,
Kouzuki Sukiyaki. Interestingly, a retainer of his lists the accomplishments Oden has made since his birth: Before he was even a year old, he could catch two rabbits. At age 4, he was capable of knocking out a bear by throwing a large rock at it. At age 6, he was caught playing and spending money in the red light district. At age 9, he became so infamous in the underworld that the yakuza blacklisted him, and banned him from their casinos! At age 10, he got arrested for picking fights with the underworld. Later,
Oden established his own harem as he snatched away women from the countryside! However, Hyou and the husbands of those abducted women banded together to put a stop to Oden's shenanigans in that regard....
-Later, at age 18, Oden is at a crematorium,
and sets a corpse ablaze to heat his food! Though he's having a meal now, he originally came to pay his respects to the deceased. Apparently, as he leaves, he tells the dead that the next time they drink, will be in the next world....
