X Characters Who Won’t Be Involved In The Final Saga

Summary

• Some characters like Enel and Kaido won’t be part of One Piece’s final saga due to their previous storylines.
• Big Mom and Shiki are also unlikely to return, given the emphasis on removing them from the story.
• Characters like Jozu and Eustass Kid face uncertain fates, with possibilities of death or limited roles.

The Final Saga of One Piece has a lot of promise. It could possibly end up as the greatest stretch of arcs in manga history. Eiichiro Oda has already shown that he is not going to hold back, and all the big names will be participating in the Final Saga.

Unfortunately, not all characters will get the opportunity to display their strength in the Final Saga. There will be many One Piece characters who will have to settle for a limited role.

This post contains spoilers for One Piece.

Enel

Doesn’t Care About Regular People

Enel was the main antagonist of the Skypiea arc. He terrorized the people of the island with his powers, and they had no choice but to bend to his will. Enel possessed the Goro Goro no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that gave him control over lightning. He was also an excellent Observation Haki user and would combine it with his Devil Fruit to improve the ability’s range and accuracy.

Despite having an astonishingly strong Devil Fruit, Enel was beaten by Luffy. Following his loss, Enel traveled to the Fairy Vearth. The rest of his adventure was covered in a Cover Story, and it was revealed that he accomplished his goal. So, there is no reason for him to leave his position as the savior of space people.

Kaido

Likely Died After Being Beaten By Luffy

• Beaten by Monkey D. Luffy

Kaido was the captain of the Beasts Pirates and one of the Yonko. He was a ruthless person with no regard for the safety of his crew members. Kaido was armed with the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allowed him to transform into an Azure Dragon at will.

Kaido was heavily involved in the Wano Country arc, as he was the main antagonist. Kaido defeated Luffy thrice in the arc but was ultimately taken down by the young pirate, after which he fell inside a volcano. While Kaido’s fate remains unknown, it is highly unlikely that he survived. So, it’s obvious that he won’t play a role in the Final Saga of One Piece.

Shiki

Has Never Appeared In The Current Timeline

• Disappeared after breaking out of Impel Down

For years, fans have been hoping and waiting for Shiki to have some kind of involvement in the current timeline. However, it is highly improbable that Oda would want to use him in the final stretch of the arcs.

Shiki was one of the strongest characters from the old era. He was affiliated with the Rocks Pirates, had a rivalry with Gol D. Roger, and even destroyed half of Marineford. But all of that won’t be enough to land a role in the Final Saga. Additionally, Shiki has already served as the main villain of a One Piece film, which decreases his odds further.

Jozu

Has Not Been Seen Since The Payback War

• Never seen after the Payback War

Jozu was the Third Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. He had access to the Kira Kira no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that enabled him to transform his body into diamonds. Jozu used his Devil Fruit to bolster his defenses and protect himself from any incoming attacks.

He played a crucial role in the Marineford arc, where he protected Whitebeard from several attacks. However, Jozu has not appeared in the story since the Payback War, which raises a lot of questions about his current status. There is a strong possibility that Jozu might have died, making his involvement impossible.

Big Mom

Likely Died In The Wano Country Arc

• Defeated by Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law

Big Mom was one of the strongest characters in One Piece. She ruled Totto Land with an iron fist, and no one dared to rebel against her. Big Mom ate the Soru Soru no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, which allowed her to steal the souls of others.

Big Mom is prominently featured in the Whole Cake Island and Wano Country arcs. In the latter, she faced Eustass Kid and Trafalgar. The two Supernovas had to fight and beat her to save Wano from destruction. After some odd decisions from Oda, Big Mom was finally beaten and sent to the bottom of a volcano. Given the fact Oda tried so hard to remove her from the story, it’s highly improbable that she will return for the Final Saga.

Eustass Kid

His Entire Crew Was Destroyed By Shanks

Eustass Kid was an integral part of the alliance that won the battle of Onigashima. Originally, he wanted to fight Kaido but had to switch targets after the latter humiliated him. Instead of fighting Kaido, Kid teamed up with Trafalgar Law to take down Big Mom.

Eustass Kid used the Jiki Jiki no Mi to its maximum potential in the fight, and that was one of the main reasons why the Supernovas prevailed. Following the victory, Kid went to Elbaf, where he faced Shanks. Despite repeated warnings from Killer, Eustass Kid went ahead and challenged the Yonko. Ultimately, the result was what everyone envisioned—a drubbing. Kid was beaten, and his ship was destroyed. He was last seen sinking to the bottom of the ocean. Considering Kid was a Devil Fruit user, he can’t stay in water for too long. If nobody from his crew got him out, it’s likely that Kid died in the water.
