"Giants by your side" it might not have been planned, but it was damn perfect.

u/Loeffellux Feb 01 '24

yeah, the "by your side" is obviously in reference to the reveal that Kuma was programmed to always be by Bonney's side. It isn't meant to apply to the Giants and it frankly wouldn't make much sense, either. Because they were quite obviously not always by anyone's side - they fucked off to an island to having the world's longest dick measuring contest lmao.

But yeah, it's still neat to thave the chapters line up this way.

Agree that it’s more a reference to Kuma but it could easily by both. I think you inserted the word ‘always’ that wasn’t there when forming your 2nd point. It still works as is with ‘giants by your side’, giants are coming to help Luffy. To stand by his side in this conflict.

ohh, my bad!

In that sense it definitely is possible to see this as an intentional double meaning

“By your side” is a reference to kuma yes. But oda is known for having double and triple meanings behind his chapter names and numbers. So I would say that it is meant for both. It’s not a coincidence that it was chapter 116 and 1106. He literally does it all the time.

Also, 116 in goroawase is "yellow", and kizaru the "yellow monkey" played a huge part in the hype of this chapter.
