Egghead is officially a top 3 arc for me, it's been absolutely amazing so far.

Kuma better get his sense of individuality back cause god damn if there's a character in this series deserving of a good ending it's him.

This chapter really made it feel like Kuma's truly dead. I was hoping for this too, and still am, but this chapter makes me feel like he's gone.

Then again, Vegapunk did mention that personality switching circuit think kinda outta nowhere.

I don't know, I feel like with all the free will themes of this arc, there might be a slim chance that Kuma somehow shines through like how seraphim Boa could not help herself but fall for Luffy again. I think this was a beautiful sendoff it this was truely his death, but if Kuma regains consciousness for a second, I also am sure that Oda will make it work well with him being able to finally see his idol, Nika, and hear the drums of liberations.

There's still something suspicious about that Kuma seraphim. And how he was considered a "problem child".
