@totoofze47:
Characters' birthdays are irrelevant, and the "strong evidence" you mention isn't that strong. It's just details that can easily be misinterpreted, not solid hints at anything. The injured guy the Revolutionaries picked up could very well be one of their own
It wasn't, it was clearly some person from outside the group. They hadn't been doing anything except floating offshore and waiting for Dragon to come back.
Which is aside from the point that WHY WOULD ODA HAVE A CRYPTIC SCENE LIKE THAT WHERE HE DID FOR SOME RANDOM NOBODY.
And that's not even getting over the plot holes his being alive would have caused (Why didn't he try to save Ace when he was imprisoned ?
I don't think you know what a plot hole is. Because this isn't one. Whatever motivations and kind of person an alive Sabo is up in the air. Presumably he'd be a hell of different person with very busy schedules.
We didn't see any revolutionaries at the War, for whatever reason Dragon wasn't keen on it, and Sabo is presumably one of his operatives.
Why didn't he attend his funeral ?
I wasn't aware you were given a personal guide from Oda to who all of those five billion people standing at the funeral were. Does YOUR uncle work for Oda too??
Why did he never try to at least contact Ace or Luffy ?
Why hasn't Luffy's literal own father? There's obviously more than simple CHARACTER B HAS RELATION TO CHARACTER A, SO WHY NOT TALK dynamics going on in many of the relationships of the series.
and how it would ruin the emotional impact of his death.
He "died" at complete random. It had little to nothing to do with any stakes or investments of any characters in that flashback. It wasn't a sacrifice like Bellmere "or" Pell. It wasn't a mortifying tragedy like Tom or Ace in the midst of an intense struggle.
He was going off on an adventure, and was completely randomly picked as target practice by a World Noble.
There's nothing really invested in that "death" at all, nothing at all at risk for being ruined.
I know Pell turned out to be alive, but unlike Sabo, there was no reason for him to stay dead.
There's lots of reasons Pell should have stayed dead, and no reason Sabo should stay dead lol.
Seriously explain to us why he needs to be dead!
And one last thing, the mistakes the Databooks made were either minor, or over irrelevant stuff, like birthdays, as I said before. Sabo's status is an important plot-point, so if they had really made that big a mistake, I doubt Oda would've let it fly.
lollll, are you implying Oda would spoil a plot twist with the data book??
