The Page of Kuma running and growing up showing how much he’s fought, survived, and grown was beautiful. Then the follow up of how heartbreaking it is to see Bonney sobbing. Kuma one of the best characters. Seeing him too see Luffy hit the Celestial Dragons and realizing he is NIKA in that moment was awesome. What a chapter, what a character, hats off and salute for Kuma lads! 🫡

Not only that, but every panel in which he is growing he is also running forward (could be construed as away, but japanese progress reading from right to left so I'd say running forward without looking back) and as he continues getting older he keeps leaning forward like running harder and faster and it isn't until he is running for Bonney and Ginney's sake that he is running the absolute hardest, which I think goes to show how important it is to find someone to love and, if you are blessed to have a child, how much that will motivate you to run the absolute hardest you will ever run in your entire life.

Great observation! His running pose also very much reminded me of the Nika-pose.
