girl how long was santana left abandoned in mexico???

homeboy doesn’t know what hamon is!! looking at santana himself, he only wears a simple white cloth covering. he doesn’t have any anti-hamon weapons like the other pillar men have. when he sees joseph, he calls him “unique” and unlike any other human he’s seen before. he even tests this theory on speedwagon, confirming that joseph was different than any other human he had seen before.

kars, esidisi, and wamuu had time to not only travel to europe and possibly asia (at least esidisi did), meet the hamon tribe and fight against them long enough not only to develop specialised weapons and techniques, but to eradicate them. AND IMHO i think the hamon clan was numerous! when caesar gives his spiel about wham killing random man #5, all the pillar men laugh and talk about how all the hamon users are the same and how they all value friendship.

kars states directly that his quest for the red stone has been ongoing for 5,000 years. it’s reasonable to assume that’s when the triumvirate left mexico in search of the stone across the atlantic. it’s entirely debatable if santana was ever given the stone mask that gave the other three their modes. he may be the ONLY actual, non-elevated, pillar man left.

THEY JUST LEFT HIM THERE???? WITH SOME USELESS ROCKS THAT POTENTIALLY NEVER WORKED AT ALL???? NONE OF WHICH KARS EVER CAME BACK FOR BTW HE JUST MADE NEW ONES!
