It only makes sense to go from a Zoro chapter to a Sanji one, just to keep things even. The colour spread here is definitely going to go down as a favourite. Oda would be a Smash Bros fan, wouldn't he? A few of the costume shoutouts are obvious (and similar to the amiibo collab from years ago) but Jinbario is something I never knew how much I needed in my life.
Going back to Cipher Pol for more than just a numbers update was unexpected. My gut feeling is that Oda's setting things up for after the battle, we're not going to get more of this in the next few chapters. The World Government ships seem to be about as close to Wano as the Big Mom pirates (could they run into each other?) but as with Big Mom's crew, I don't think there's any chance of them making it up to Wano until after the Raid is done. Still, this setup is a sign of how close the end is going to be after Wano is done, if Oda's getting ready to immediately pit Luffy and the Government against each other. Some people are speculating they'll succeed in getting Robin to spark a final conflict, but there's no chance Oda would repeat Ennies Lobby that blatantly. This is more likely to call back to Robin's faith in her friends protecting her back on Zou.
Hey, what if the World Government forces arrive during Luffy's customary days of sleep after the big fight? Are we going to have a fun sequence in which either the Strawhats or the surviving Scabbards have to show what they can do without Luffy's help? There's some decent potential in that.
I'm not sure what Yamato thinks he can actually do about the explosives under the dome. It doesn't seem like the tech in this world would lend itself to complex bombs that can be made safe by taking fuses out or whatever. Wouldn't it be more like a big pile of gunpowder and nitroglycerin, liable to explode on impact? And weird to see two minor members of Law's crew just hanging around up on Onigashima. It was never really made clear how many of them he brought with him. The big guy looks like Jean Bart, who I thought was down on the Wano mainland, but maybe there's another large dude in the crew.
I'm amazed that Oda was able to top the Triceracopter so soon, but Brachiosnakeus sure has done it. There are just no words for Oda's insane creativity. Every part of that sequence was hilarious.
Sanji actually getting Vinsmoke powers is something I didn't expect at all. I'm not the biggest Sanji fan, so I don't have the deepest emotional involvement in his arc of being just human with a strong heart being ruined by bloodline superpowers or anything dramatic like that, but I hope Oda's got a plan for some future character beats following his acceptance or rejection of the new powers. Like I said, I haven't liked how Sanji's been written since basically Ennies Lobby, but I'm always open minded about Oda finding something better to do with him.
A slightly flatter chapter than the last few leading into the break, but Wano's climax is building, and we're close enough that Oda's starting to look at what comes after the battle.
