Raws are out. Also I'm not entirely sure if Jack was in hybrid. Looked like partial transformation for his head and legs. But we'll see if Inu vs Jack is on-panel.
The Raid Suit probably carries some sort of drug that Judge intended to use on Sanji at some point to see if it would activate his modified DNA, hence why Niji had the canister in the first place. And since this chapter is on the subject, I think it's time I brought up something I've suspected ever since Big Mom noted King's race to be nearly extinct:
- While some characters have shown the ability to use fire, I believe this is a trait all humans in the verse have the capacity to do to a very limited degree (Luffy, Katakuri, Doflamingo all being able to summon fire via their Devil Fruits)... however, those who are closer in blood to King's race would be capable of having more powerful flame manipulation. I suspect Sanji was modified with the DNA of someone from the clan King comes from, or at least a close descendant. Even without his modifications activating, Sanji was already able to maintain fire on his body for extended periods, and we may see Diable Jambe greatly bolster in power the longer he fights Queen--particularly if he uses his Raid Suit again.
While it annoys me, it's obvious Sanji is going to get a fairly convenient power-boost to defeat Queen. Zoro's already proven himself capable of fighting and defeating King--especially if he has the ability to wound Kaido.
King in Base form WITHOUT any visible use of Haki is going even with Base Zoro amp'd with Haki, so I have high hopes King will require a lot to take down. I think the fanbase would be absolutely floored if Hybrid King managed to pressure Ashura + Enma amp'd Zoro, if even a little bit.
Considering Inuarashi is already established to be equal to Zoan-form Jack via Zou, I think it's fair to say we can all agree this match has been decided the moment Inuarashi went Sulong. My only concern is if Jack uses Ashura's corpse (assuming he's dead, which I would be surprised if he's not) as leverage during their fight.
Perospero is definitely no match for Nekomamushi's base form (Yonko crew rankings would imply Sulong Neko > Base Neko = Jack ~ Cracker > Snack >/= Pero), so seeing Neko go Sulong has me thinking the candy-man is gonna either die or flee very soon.
Momonosuke is gonna look like Oden, but with a top knot lol.
