Episode 973 Plot: Although Orochi initially scoffs at Oden's suggestion, Kaidou accepts the challenge, agreeing to release the retainers if they survive one hour in the pot. As Oden enters the pot, already being singed by the boiling oil, his retainers run on the plank to also enter, but Oden lifts the plank up, allowing his retainers to sit safe from the boiling oil, despite their protests. Kaidou allows him to do this, since they're technically in the pot. The crowd watching the execution criticize Oden, but Shinobu stands up for him and reals the truth of Oden's burden. When he was confronted by Oden five years earlier, Orochi confessed that he only wanted to become the shogun so he could make the citizens of Wano suffer as vengeance for his family's unjust persecution at their hands. Shinobu reveals more, as she was hiding in the ceiling when it happened, Orochi had kidnapped hundreds of citizens meant as tributes to Kaido. At that point, Orochi offered Oden a bargain; Orochi would cease the kidnappings and he and Kaido would leave the Land of Wano after five years. In exchange, Oden had to dance naked in the Flower Capital every week while being humiliated by Orochi, saving 100 people from being kidnapped with each dance. Oden decided he had no choice as he couldn't face Kaido without causing a war that would result in mass casualties. The citizens are shocked by the sacrifices Oden made for them.
