When Will Shirazu Appear?

Crack theory time (or maybe not crack who knows)

If Shirazu is going to be revived, and if he’s going to be on the next volume cover as people have theorized to complete the four wise monkeys symbolism, it would make sense for him to appear in the ongoing volume. 

Volume 10…

…ends with chapter 110, in which Urie’s completely framed out and is left begging for someone to save him (thank you Saiko for answering that call please go save Mucchy now.)

Volume 11…

…ends with chapter 122, in which Mutsuki appears at :re and then burns everything to the ground

Volume 12…

…ends with chapter 132, in which Saiko (who had otherwise barely appeared in that volume at all) confronts Urie about the wrongdoings of the CCG and sparks his confrontation with Furuta someone save him again please.

Hence I’m wondering whether, if Shirazu is truly going to appear on the next volume cover, he might appear in the last chapter of the volume. Given how many chapters tend to be in a volume, I wonder if Ishida will end volume 13 with chapter 143, which was, of course, the number of chapters in the original TG. 

I’m probably overthinking things, and of course chapters in :re don’t automatically correlate to ones from the original TG, but it’s something I think is possible.
