One of the most controversial moments of the Wano arc has been clarified
It is known that Wano’s story arc had several moments of great controversy, since in this one it was possible to observe all the calamities that the inhabitants of this island had to suffer when Kaido came to power, because his methods were not the most orthodox, so much so that he was able to lock up his own son, Yamato with the enemy Samurai without a pinch of food, demonstrating how perverse this pirate was.
However, the most controversial moment of the Wano arc took place right after Kaido’s defeat, after the situation in Onigashima and the former Yonkou were finally overcome. To celebrate said overthrow, Kozuki Hiyori, Oden’s daughter, was meeting in a conference with several of her followers to whom she reminded all the tyranny his people had to survive for more than 20 yearsand all because of Orochi’s betrayalto which Hiyori dedicated some rather strong words that were criticized by the followers.
Hiyori, in this lecture, defiantly declared the following: “Kurozumi was born to burn”, which caused discomfort among the followers of the series, and not precisely because of Orochi, but because it was taken by the fans as a declaration of war for the whole family Kurozumi, since it could be presumed that the members of this clan who had nothing to do with Orochi’s actions they would have to pay for such actscausing an endless war.
Hiyori, has commented that: “Kurozumi is not Kurozumi if she were not on fire”, words that were criticized by the fans of the series
However, Eiichiro Oda took advantage of the SBS section of One Piece volume #105 to clarify this controversial moment in the series and all thanks to a question from a fan, who noticed in a scene where O’Tama was praying over the grave of his parents and they had an inscription with the last name “Kurozumi”, so Oda decided to take advantage to confirm that Tama is actually a descendant of the Kurozumi.just as he clarified that Hiyori’s statements, they only fell on Orochi and not on the members of his clan.
Through the Twitter account called @newworldartur can be seen in greater detail Eiichiro Oda’s response to this great controversy and the lineage of the beloved Tama who was an important part in this fight against Kaido.

Notably Tama was of great importance in being able to defeat Kaido and his minions.since without the help of this little girl none of this would have been possible, since her skills were crucial in reducing the number of men in favor of the Beasts Pirates.
It could be said that Tama Kurozumi with her great bravery and feats managed to expiate the guilt that surrounded the name of his clan Because of Orochi’s unfortunate actions, this young woman has become a symbol of renewal for this family and for the new Wano.
Likewise, during this section of SBS, Eiichiro Oda has also taken the opportunity to reveal Zoro’s family tree, which has been well received by fans, who had already made various hypotheses regarding the lineage of this powerful swordsman.
