The break neck pace of churning through characters continues. If Kubo continues burning through them at this rate there's gotta be a second wave of villains from somewhere. It's like this arc was written by a completely different author, or Kubo just wants to get it over with.

With Nananananananananana randomly showing up maybe Rose just got Kensei'd.
