Now that I think about it, didn't Jack Sparrow do something similar in the very first Pirates of the Caribbean movie? That scene where the two navy dudes were questioning him, and he just outright said that he was a pirate. Capt. Jack Sparrow - Well then, I confess. It is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder, and otherwise pilfer my weaselly black guts out. Soldier 1 - I said no lies! Soldier 2 - I think he is telling the truth. Soldier 1 - If he were telling the truth, he wouldn’t have told us. Capt. Jack Sparrow - Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn’t believe the truth even if he told it to you.
One of the most blatant hints with Kanjuro in hindsight is on Dressrosa. when he, Usopp, and Kin’emon are running from Dressrosa’s citizens during Doffy’s bounty game, the three of them get to safety on a tall tower. Kanjuro then draws a net, claiming it will help protect them, only for the angry mob chasing them to immediately start using the net as a ladder to reach them.
Well, according to the anime Kanjuro made the net because there were people who wanted to climb up so he made it for them, but he was unaware of the crowd's intentions at the time. Or so it appears...
My theory: We understand Blackbeard does come from a race of people who don't sleep, because if they sleep in the snowy country they could be buried alive and die. His people evolved to be like dolphins and other species that regulate sleep by turning off one half of their brain independently to rest while the other stays active. His Jolly Roger represents his three states of awake: left side, right side, and fully awake. Each state of awakeness has certain personality traits and mental processing that show in his behavior.
It should be noted that there is MORE evidence in skypea as luffy is literally thematically portrayed as a sun god in a very on the nose way, in the climax when the inhabitants pray to God that enel is stopped, luffy yells something about clearing the sky and letting it shine and bombards it with the giant gold ball, sky is cleared and the sun shines again along with the bell being ringed all the way down to nolands descendant. He literally fulfills their prayer and makes the sun shine
Lately I looked at the connection between "Binks Brew" and the "drums of liberation", and I found some interesting things. Binks Brew has no drums, even though part of the Song is about them. I tried synching both up and it kinda worked. And I found out something interesting about the Rumbar Pirates. Their name is a reference to rumba style music, which focuses on drums and has the same rythm as the "drums of liberation". Also "rumba" can refer to a party with music and dancing in general, which is quite fitting.
Which is why brook was destined to stay alive to transfer ther rhythm to future joyboy 'luffy' so he can willingly/unwillingly awaken his fruit with the liberation drum pattern he remembered listening to too much binks sake
I think Luffy’s Dream is clear as day. Him and Roger want to throw a worldwide party. The bar where Luffy and Shanks spent their time together is called Party’s Bar. Every country Luffy has liberated has ended with some kind of festivity. It’s very fitting and it’s a running theme of the show and just childish enough to be a boys dream.
I agree with you. I think Luffy's dream is to throw a worldwide party. This is a running theme throughout the show, and it fits perfectly with Luffy's character. He is a carefree and joyful person, and he loves to celebrate with his friends. The fact that Luffy's dream is so childish is actually what makes it so special. It shows that he is still a young and innocent person, even though he has been through a lot. It also shows that he is not afraid to dream big. I think it would be amazing to see Luffy achieve his dream at the end of the series. It would be a fitting conclusion to his journey, and it would be a celebration of everything that One Piece is about.
The falling asleep and dying part is most likely because if you fall asleep out in a blizzard or snow filled region without shelter, you'd die from the elements. The not sleeping part alone though, could be something Oda used later for the reference. You know, since Oda did admit there were many parts where he created stories/context as we went on with the series. At the end of the day I just want the man to get some rest for a bit. We can wait...
I agree. It's likely that Oda was inspired by the real-world danger of falling asleep in a blizzard, and he used that as a basis for the story about the Snow Country. It's also possible that Oda intended to use the "not sleeping" part of the story for something later on, but he never got around to it. Oda has admitted that he often creates new stories and context as he goes along, so it's not surprising that some things don't always pan out the way he originally planned. At the end of the day, we can only speculate about what Oda's intentions were. But one thing is for sure: he's a master storyteller, and he always manages to create stories that are both entertaining and thought-provoking. I hope Oda gets the rest he needs. He's worked incredibly hard on One Piece for over 20 years, and he deserves a break. We can wait for him to come back and finish the story when he's ready.
I don't know why people cling to those so hard, the idea of a Sun god is one of the most basic ones when it comes to worldbuilding and fictional religious practices.
Biggest foreshadowing isn’t even mentioned in this video, some might not pick up on it but if you look closely in chapter 1 Luffy claims he will one day be “king of the pirates” it hasn’t happened yet but I’m willing to bet that oda has something planned for that little nugget
the amount of convenience oda sets up, (which i would like to think of most as accidents, because that feels to me as the most one piece thing ever) is amazing, and makes it such an incredible read, and makes me want to reread it again. Greetings from Australia!
If the "Blackbeard dies if he falls asleep" theory is correct, then he better make sure Luffy keeps his skeleton in the closet cause Brook might go Jigglypuff on him.
Pay attention to this: Chapter 97. Nami dressed as Robin and Hancock, way before either are introduced. Her Hancock-like dress even has a scarf with a dog head that resembles a snake wraping around her. Chapter 516. Titled "Pirate Empress Boa Hancock". Color spread showing the introductions of all then-crewmates, with a suspicious message: "A casual encounter..." Episode 1000 opening: Hancock is suspiciously present in a blink-and-you-miss moment near the end of the opening, despite her not being in the then-current Wano arc (like Kid, Law and Yamato, also featured) nor being on the same level of characters directly linked to Luffy (like Rayleigh, Dragon, Ace and Sabo, also featured). T100 Colorspread with 50+ characters from the popularity poll. Hancock is suspiciously the only character placed in the foreground next to the Straw Hats. She's the only non-Straw Hat standing on the treasure with Luffy and the others, and the closest other non-Straw Hats have a gap between them and the crew. Almost as if, in the future, we are supposed to see her as part of the group when we look back to this very special colorspread.
There is one thing I want to say that supports black beards multiple personality theory. When he meets fluffy he says the pie is good and the booze is bad, but when luffy leaves the tavern and black beard talks to him about dreams. Well, he walked in the other direction saying the booze is good. Which to me IS proof someone else habitates his body. Because unless he was lying before, his taste in beer completely change over the span of a few minutes.
I re-read the Alabasta Arc and this may sound like a stretch but.. Croc was tossing Vivi from the Palace walls and as Vivi is falling, she sees a silhouette from the sun. This was when Vivi was losing all hope as she felt powerless to stop the civil war ravaging her country. Yet, she regains her hope after seeing Luffy coming to get her - a strong tie in with Sun God Nika - bringing hope and liberation to Alabasta.
There's another Sanji hint even earlier than Mr. Prince. When they're crossing Reverse Mountain, Sanji makes mention about hearing of Ships that are able to climb over the Red Line. (The Germa Ships)
I would like to add one thing. There are clearly two types of "foreshadowing", the ones Oda clearly planned, like Sanji's eye brows in the den den mushi, or the third sake cup AND The ones he made it in retrospect like the Yonko cover and Chouchou to name two.
12:00 yoooo there was also a filler arc, Warship Island, in East Blue where Luffy was able to understand what a dragon was saying, and it was VERY pointed out
0:49 - Luffy says there are people in this world who don't sleep in the context of being in snowy countries, not in general. Then again, Drum Island WAS attacked by Blackbeard so... a tenuous connection at best, but still a connection. Those bits about Sabo, though, that's kind of mind-blowing, though I still find it hard to believe it was intentional even all the way back then. I think the best thing about the Kanjuro traitor twist is that I was taken off-guard, not because I genuinely didn't expect him to be the traitor, but because up to that point Kanjuro left such little impression on me that he legitimately wasn't on my mind in terms of who it could have been who betrayed everyone. Kanjuro is definitely a more interesting character as a bad guy than he ever was as one of the good guys.
Honestly I don't believe in most of the "foreshadowing", I just think Oda is very good at leaving things open and then playing around it in the future.
@collecter343 exactly u throw down the pieces u like and later ur ok I can connect this here and repeat, good Analogy I'll use it to describe foreshadowing like this
I still don't buy that Ace's misspelled tattoo was always intended as a tribute to Sabo. I think it originally was a joke, a simple visual gag meant to tell us that Ace is a bit of an idiot, or at least that he's capable of a significant enough lapse of judgement that he would entrust someone who couldn't spell with tattooing his name on him. But Oda's so good at tying things together that he used the misspelled tattoo to give the visual gag significant meaning in retrospect.
I whole heartedly agree with u Especially since it was so open ended the way they tried make it about Sabo by making it his flag , even tho oda just saw an opportunity to reuse assets and make it make sense (allot of good writers do instead of making new things that have no correlation with something in the pas)
@@Lackadais1cal It was never outright pointed it out as a tribute either. Especially since the visual aspect of it being a tribute is so easy to go unnoticed since Ace died before we ever got the reveal of the Jolly Roger that Sabo flew when he tried leaving the Goa Kingdom, and said Jolly Roger only appears briefly in that flashback. I didn't even notice that aspect myself until my third viewing of that flashback. Meanwhile the arm tattoo is seen pretty prominently a lot, and without the knowledge of Sabo, it makes total sense to assume that it was a misspelling of Ace's name, especially considering that we are originally led to believe that he and Luffy are biological brothers and have comparable levels of intelligence.
In the early filler arc “warship island” Luffy was able to hear and speak with one of the centennial dragons through the voice of all things . Funnily enough, the character Apis had the whisper-whisper fruit which allowed her to understand and speak to animals, something Luffy can do without it
There was one more thing that we missed. Luffy's dream. I don't remember the chapter, but when sunny was travelling under the sea (to or from the fishman island, don't remember) when they see the current that carries the whales, nami says that these currents carry fish to unknown places or something. Then Luffy says maybe it will take me to where I want to go. And then there was a focus on luffy's grin. I think it is talking about luffy's dream.
The one piece is actually in Loguetown, that's why Roger and his crew were laughing on Rsftel. The end of the line is the start. The trip up reverse mountain has multiple routes, but the main flow takes you the wrong way. If you turn right against the current it steers you to the back of the red line instead of the front and you'll find Raftel is the back side of Loguetown before the red line split the island during the void century. The treasure has been said to be on Raftel this whole time by the Gorosei to break the stand of people because it's so hard to get to. But it's been in Loguetown the whole time. The Gorosei don't claim it because they can't destroy it, or ha e the power to wield it.
It'll be a bitter sweet moment if Blackbeard's final moments are him slumping up against a wall saying "You know what? I think it's about time I took a nap...I'm feeling tired..." and just closing his eyes and fading away. Something about Blackbeard, after everything, leaving the world so gently seems...wrong...
The biggest in-text spoiler not many have noticed, is that both Whitebeard and Gold Roger say ‘the world will be turned upside down’, which is actually literal. When the One Piece is found, the planet will shift on its axis and physically rotate Also the One Piece is in Loguetown, Roger was probably looking right at it when he said ‘my treasure is right there for you to take’
At the time where Blackbeard said that we weren’t introduced to white beards devil fruit so that one technically wasn’t wasn’t something we’d pick up on
6:53 Sanji also carried his secret for a long time represented by the cover page in which he’s carrying a suitcase on which there’s a sticker written « the secret »
Another hint of Kanjuro being the traitor: in Zou, he drew a dragon (the iconic and lovable Ryunosuke). At the time it seemed that he was trolling Kin'emon, who was established to hate dragons in Punk Hazard. But when we discover Kaido's fruit....
So when roger said "i left it all there" he was pointing at some corner in rogue town (he wouldve pointed but he was handcuffed) but people thought too much outside the box
Actually, it's quite possible that Roger said the true location of one piece. In Japanese, "there" is "soku", which could also mean "bottom." Thus, in the One piece theory community, there are a lot of people believe that One piece is underwater
I always thought the s in aces tattoo was for his old crew the ace of spades. And there was an x through it because they broke up and joined the white beard pirates.
It's soo insane that I watched this video the week day after getting to know that kanjuro is a traitor. Considering I have been watching this channel for 6 months and one piece for a year.
the whole luffy mentioning people that dont sleep in drum island thing is one of the most interesting pieces of foreshadowing ever, it is clearly about Black beard, but i got the feeling the reason is about to be something crazy like kuma's bucaneer reveal and all
Ironic that I had a conversation yesterday with my nephew about how he shouldn't skip around when watching One Piece so as not to miss certain details no matter how small. And then I see this video notification as I was thinking about that conversation.
I recently re-watched up to the time skip via reactions, and I noticed something. Franky said what he wants the end for his dream ship to be. And I was like "Oh no... that's going to hit like a truck."
Ur telling me there is 0% chance that was just suppose to look cool cuz it's a battle manga with them clashing and a lightning just appearing in the background
wow, that blackbeard theory makes so much sense, he talks so vividly about dreams because he can't really have them himself, if he can't sleep, so his only option is to go all out and do whatever it takes to achieve his dream.
A simple one I think everyone knows at this point: the slave auction list (chapter 501) has a list of various races and different prices. One of the races are Minks, who don't show up again until Zou (chapter 795). So (I wasnt reading at the time), I guess people thought Bepo was a fruit user?
I like when luffy and co are on their way to arlong with sanji, and luffy mentions that zeff said some people call the grand line "paradise". That is an amazing foreshadow dropped right there.
4:53 After starting the manga after watching all the anime up to current (current is episode 1100), I noticed this silhouette first drawn at the end of chapter 2 on the very last page when discussing information about pirate flags. Don't know if it was intentional way back then, but even if it wasn't, it's nice to see things that may have inspired it down the road.
Kanjuro doesn't feel like a prisoner when Kinemon found him in Dressrosa. He was relaxed and not really struggling like a prisoner. Also, he wasn't given a bounty by Doflamingo.
I find it interesting that while Luffy was giving doflamingo the final blow, the anime shows clips of all of Luffys allies saying Luffys name. However, Kanjuro didn’t say Luffys name, all he said was, “Please!”
2:55 I do not think that could be Sabo because if Ace dying is what undid Sabo amnesia seeing Luffy almost be executed would’ve probably done the same, and if Oda had planned that far ahead we would have seen Bartolomeo in that crowd too.
On Fishman Island, the steroids' they were using came from/were based on Joyboy - giving you massive power then aging you ridiculously - as it is with Noah (the ship of promise) that we first see interactions with relics from Joyboy and the void century. Then, we see the original with Luffy hitting G5 and then turning into a geezer.
12:18, when i revisted that Scene, i actually made the Assumption, that it could be the voice of all things, since thats the only thing that would really make sense, aside from it just being Anime Logic
Woah I actually didn't realize the connection to his real identity when Sanji called himself "Mr. Prince." Now that you mention it it seems obvious, but that's still really great foreshadowing
There is also Haki mentioned way back at episode 151 by Blackbeard. At the time, Blackbeard could not believe that Luffy has a bounty of 30 million with that weak Haki of Luffy, let alone 100 million. I guess Luffy, Zoro and Sanji's bloodline that got them far. Haki is already a thing and ODA kept it hidden until the time skip.
another example of when luffy is shown with the voice of all things is when he talked to the dragon thing pre time skip on the way to the grand line i think
2:09 I actually had a discussion with someone who kept arguing about Sabo being a last minute Addition to replace Ace after he died. I actually knew about the third sake sake cup in that panel but i couldn't remember the exact chapter which the guy took as proof im lying. Glad to see i didn't misremember😂😂😂
There's another thing that's bothered me for years. Luffy in Little Garden while standing on a dinosaur, says there's two giant heads and a huge hole on the island. We never got to see that hole.
I think the reason Blackbeard doesn’t sleep its because the odd possibility that he is more than one person, probably he has three personalities and theres always one of them awake.
I watched different channel that dissect and explain anime. Something about your voice is just so comforting to listen to. I could fall asleep with your video's
It makes sense that luffy loves to take regular naps and loves to sleep just as much as he loves eating. It probably helps luffy get back in touch with his dreams for inspiration, power and drive him to his goals. And blackbeard never sleeps yet he still has a dream that he wishes to follow. maybe if he does at all sleep he connects more with his nightmares bringing those ideas to life, manifesting them into reality. Just opposite to how luffy works.
im so glad someone else has brought up luffy talking to chuchu at the beginning of the story. i started rereading a few months ago and all i could say was "holy sh*t" when i noticed it.
Well if Laugh Tale is indeed somehow linked to Loguetown, literally called "town of beginning and end", then it makes perfect sense for Rojer to laugh so hard when he reached it, just cause it means that answer was there even before journey started.
From what stephen paul (official one piece translator) says the "its not him its them" about blackbeard on jaya is not ambiguous in the original japanese, its exclusively talking about his crew
I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm suddenly finding the "Blackbeard is 3 people" theory a lot more plausible than before. I'm still curious how Luffy and Zoro could tell at the time when they had never even heard of Haki, much less utilized it, while Teech's crew of veteran Haki users couldn't figure it out over spending every hour of every day with him for literal decades. Not to mention the fact that they would hint at such and never actually explain it despite knowing. Unless that was another example of them using the voice of all things?
Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. Greetings from Czech Republic. Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu. Zdraví Nogy.
Has nobody realized that throughout one piece Luffy goes into sun god form long before Wano. In impel down during Ivankovs treatment he gets white hair and he magically survives the super dangerous treatment. He used the sun god form to not die. I think this also happens once in Dressrosa, not as sure about that.
Kanjiro, being a traitor, is even blatant in his design. Kanjuro's design is based on a kabuki actor. He was playing the role of Oden's retainer. Because One Piece is so inconsistent with character design that it loops back around to be consistent, nobody batted an eye at his design or thought it would be significant.
Not sure if this moment is anime only but during the orochi/kanjuro flashback when kanjuro is drawn as scribbles and has no voice, orochi gives him a devil fruit. Only kin and kanjuro have devil fruits in the akazaya so that was a giveaway
The pure Odacity of that man.
Bu dum ching
Oda is funny in that way
I see what you did there.
Dero shi shi shi
Go to your room.
I love the thought of "keep a secret by telling a outrageous truth". People will dismiss it entirely, so it remains hidden in plain sight
U said such a word.....
Now that I think about it, didn't Jack Sparrow do something similar in the very first Pirates of the Caribbean movie? That scene where the two navy dudes were questioning him, and he just outright said that he was a pirate.
Capt. Jack Sparrow - Well then, I confess. It is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder, and otherwise pilfer my weaselly black guts out.
Soldier 1 - I said no lies!
Soldier 2 - I think he is telling the truth.
Soldier 1 - If he were telling the truth, he wouldn’t have told us.
Capt. Jack Sparrow - Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn’t believe the truth even if he told it to you.

Thats a great idea
Thank you this is amazing
Wow, this sounds the most believable
Dude that's a brilliant analysis.
iam sure oda will once again go with option 3 :)
It should be noted that there is MORE evidence in skypea as luffy is literally thematically portrayed as a sun god in a very on the nose way, in the climax when the inhabitants pray to God that enel is stopped, luffy yells something about clearing the sky and letting it shine and bombards it with the giant gold ball, sky is cleared and the sun shines again along with the bell being ringed all the way down to nolands descendant.

Also "rumba" can refer to a party with music and dancing in general, which is quite fitting.
I think Rumbar .P stands for Rumbar Peacekeepers.
Which is why brook was destined to stay alive to transfer ther rhythm to future joyboy 'luffy' so he can willingly/unwillingly awaken his fruit with the liberation drum pattern he remembered listening to too much binks sake
I think Luffy’s Dream is clear as day. Him and Roger want to throw a worldwide party. The bar where Luffy and Shanks spent their time together is called Party’s Bar. Every country Luffy has liberated has ended with some kind of festivity. It’s very fitting and it’s a running theme of the show and just childish enough to be a boys dream.
Kaido and Zoro bonding over alcohol, big mom thankful to Sanji for the best wedding cake, I can totally see them all habing a big party 😂😂
yeh, Artur said that years ago, gz
I agree with you. I think Luffy's dream is to throw a worldwide party. This is a running theme throughout the show, and it fits perfectly with Luffy's character. He is a carefree and joyful person, and he loves to celebrate with his friends.
The fact that Luffy's dream is so childish is actually what makes it so special. It shows that he is still a young and innocent person, even though he has been through a lot. It also shows that he is not afraid to dream big.

He wants to free the world
He wants to go swimming

You know, since Oda did admit there were many parts where he created stories/context as we went on with the series. At the end of the day I just want the man to get some rest for a bit. We can wait...
You want... Oda to sleep just after saying people die when they sleep 🤔
I'm joking of course
Could still be used in that context tho, kuzan is on his crew now
I agree. It's likely that Oda was inspired by the real-world danger of falling asleep in a blizzard, and he used that as a basis for the story about the Snow Country.
It's also possible that Oda intended to use the "not sleeping" part of the story for something later on, but he never got around to it. Oda has admitted that he often creates new stories and context as he goes along, so it's not surprising that some things don't always pan out the way he originally planned.

I hope Oda gets the rest he needs. He's worked incredibly hard on One Piece for over 20 years, and he deserves a break. We can wait for him to come back and finish the story when he's ready.
That makes no sense it was referring to people who don’t sleep only learn to think
The idea of a Sun God was also reinforced much later, but still before Wano, in Big Mom's flashback, where we learn the Giants also worship a Sun God
I don't know why people cling to those so hard, the idea of a Sun god is one of the most basic ones when it comes to worldbuilding and fictional religious practices.
Biggest foreshadowing isn’t even mentioned in this video, some might not pick up on it but if you look closely in chapter 1 Luffy claims he will one day be “king of the pirates” it hasn’t happened yet but I’m willing to bet that oda has something planned for that little nugget
Damn, you might actually be onto something

You know you spend too much time in the One piece analysis community when you know everything already lmao thanks for reminding us how great Oda is
There's another Sanji hint even earlier than Mr. Prince. When they're crossing Reverse Mountain, Sanji makes mention about hearing of Ships that are able to climb over the Red Line. (The Germa Ships)
I would like to add one thing.
There are clearly two types of "foreshadowing", the ones Oda clearly planned, like Sanji's eye brows in the den den mushi, or the third sake cup
AND
The ones he made it in retrospect like the Yonko cover and Chouchou to name two.
You also forget that when Sanji adopted the alias of Mr. Prince he was using Mr. 3’s den den mushi and Sanji ended up being the 3rd son of germa
12:00 yoooo there was also a filler arc, Warship Island, in East Blue where Luffy was able to understand what a dragon was saying, and it was VERY pointed out
The section of Zorro crying over a sword is hilarious😂😂😂
0:49 - Luffy says there are people in this world who don't sleep in the context of being in snowy countries, not in general. Then again, Drum Island WAS attacked by Blackbeard so... a tenuous connection at best, but still a connection.

Honestly I don't believe in most of the "foreshadowing", I just think Oda is very good at leaving things open and then playing around it in the future.
As good storytellers do
Like scattering a bunch stuff on the floor and standing back to connect them in a way that’s entertaining.
@collecter343 exactly u throw down the pieces u like and later ur ok I can connect this here and repeat, good Analogy I'll use it to describe foreshadowing like this
I still don't buy that Ace's misspelled tattoo was always intended as a tribute to Sabo. I think it originally was a joke, a simple visual gag meant to tell us that Ace is a bit of an idiot, or at least that he's capable of a significant enough lapse of judgement that he would entrust someone who couldn't spell with tattooing his name on him. But Oda's so good at tying things together that he used the misspelled tattoo to give the visual gag significant meaning in retrospect.
I whole heartedly agree with u Especially since it was so open ended the way they tried make it about Sabo by making it his flag , even tho oda just saw an opportunity to reuse assets and make it make sense (allot of good writers do instead of making new things that have no correlation with something in the pas)
Yeah it’s a hilarious visual gag that tells us some tattoo artist thought Ace’s name was Ass, lmao
Imo it's easier to buy it as a tribute than a gag since, you know, the story never pointed it out as a gag.
@@Lackadais1cal It was never outright pointed it out as a tribute either. Especially since the visual aspect of it being a tribute is so easy to go unnoticed since Ace died before we ever got the reveal of the Jolly Roger that Sabo flew when he tried leaving the Goa Kingdom, and said Jolly Roger only appears briefly in that flashback. I didn't even notice that aspect myself until my third viewing of that flashback. Meanwhile the arm tattoo is seen pretty prominently a lot, and without the knowledge of Sabo, it makes total sense to assume that it was a misspelling of Ace's name, especially considering that we are originally led to believe that he and Luffy are biological brothers and have comparable levels of intelligence.
@@MoostachedSaiyanPrinceEasy to go unnoticed but a tribute nonetheless. The story may not be linear with it but chronologically it makes sense.
In the early filler arc “warship island” Luffy was able to hear and speak with one of the centennial dragons through the voice of all things . Funnily enough, the character Apis had the whisper-whisper fruit which allowed her to understand and speak to animals, something Luffy can do without it
There was one more thing that we missed. Luffy's dream. I don't remember the chapter, but when sunny was travelling under the sea (to or from the fishman island, don't remember) when they see the current that carries the whales, nami says that these currents carry fish to unknown places or something. Then Luffy says maybe it will take me to where I want to go. And then there was a focus on luffy's grin. I think it is talking about luffy's dream.
To be honest about Kanjuro he was made too obvious to be a traitor that we just ignored it because usually it's never someone who's that obvious.
5:49 “we see a goat and a miner next to shanks”
That "time travel fuckery" at about 10 mins was pretty solid got a good giggle 😂
The one piece is actually in Loguetown, that's why Roger and his crew were laughing on Rsftel. The end of the line is the start. The trip up reverse mountain has multiple routes, but the main flow takes you the wrong way. If you turn right against the current it steers you to the back of the red line instead of the front and you'll find Raftel is the back side of Loguetown before the red line split the island during the void century. The treasure has been said to be on Raftel this whole time by the Gorosei to break the stand of people because it's so hard to get to. But it's been in Loguetown the whole time. The Gorosei don't claim it because they can't destroy it, or ha e the power to wield it.
It'll be a bitter sweet moment if Blackbeard's final moments are him slumping up against a wall saying "You know what? I think it's about time I took a nap...I'm feeling tired..." and just closing his eyes and fading away. Something about Blackbeard, after everything, leaving the world so gently seems...wrong...
Oda is so fun with his coin flipping. Blackbeard defends dreamers on Jaya, but also doesn’t sleep and therefore wouldn’t dream.
The biggest in-text spoiler not many have noticed, is that both Whitebeard and Gold Roger say ‘the world will be turned upside down’, which is actually literal. When the One Piece is found, the planet will shift on its axis and physically rotate
Also the One Piece is in Loguetown, Roger was probably looking right at it when he said ‘my treasure is right there for you to take’
At the time where Blackbeard said that we weren’t introduced to white beards devil fruit so that one technically wasn’t wasn’t something we’d pick up on
“Brazenly blew his narrative load” actually caught me off guard.
Loguetown as in epiLOGUE and proLOGUE. The obvious place for the whole thing to start and end
I find it so cool how deep the one piece lore and backstory is I love it
6:53 Sanji also carried his secret for a long time represented by the cover page in which he’s carrying a suitcase on which there’s a sticker written « the secret »
Another hint of Kanjuro being the traitor: in Zou, he drew a dragon (the iconic and lovable Ryunosuke). At the time it seemed that he was trolling Kin'emon, who was established to hate dragons in Punk Hazard. But when we discover Kaido's fruit....
12:35 luffy also talks to those beasts pn Ruskina He their Boss
This is why we know Big Mom is alive. Oda wouldn’t have had her say “don’t think this will kill me” as her last words if that was the end of her.
It's possible big mom made the lava her homie
Didn’t know Sanji mother name was Sora ….now Germa being the enemy of Sora makes sense lol
So when roger said "i left it all there" he was pointing at some corner in rogue town (he wouldve pointed but he was handcuffed) but people thought too much outside the box
True
Actually, it's quite possible that Roger said the true location of one piece. In Japanese, "there" is "soku", which could also mean "bottom." Thus, in the One piece theory community, there are a lot of people believe that One piece is underwater
@@D.nuts_Donuts bro i just thought of buggys map that he got
@@leobankowski7682bro, if thats the case, itd be so wild.
Thanks I’m going to be late for my test tomorrow and my gpa might.. might go down by a lot but this seems interesting
I always thought the s in aces tattoo was for his old crew the ace of spades. And there was an x through it because they broke up and joined the white beard pirates.
It's soo insane that I watched this video the week day after getting to know that kanjuro is a traitor. Considering I have been watching this channel for 6 months and one piece for a year.
Luffy is going to use his imagination to conjure a very comfy bed and Blackbeard won't be able to resist the urge to take a little nap
the whole luffy mentioning people that dont sleep in drum island thing is one of the most interesting pieces of foreshadowing ever, it is clearly about Black beard, but i got the feeling the reason is about to be something crazy like kuma's bucaneer reveal and all
Anyone else watch glr’s vids the minute they come out. Also I just wanted to say I love your vids and watch them every single day as much as possible.
Ironic that I had a conversation yesterday with my nephew about how he shouldn't skip around when watching One Piece so as not to miss certain details no matter how small. And then I see this video notification as I was thinking about that conversation.
0:49 The most iconic guys in a village tavern for luffy would be the Red Hair pirates whose captain so happens to have known blackbeard.
Blackbeard has 3 people within his body, him and 2 brothers. They do sleep, they just swap.
Videos like this one got me hooked into GLR some time ago. Nice to see 👍
I recently re-watched up to the time skip via reactions, and I noticed something. Franky said what he wants the end for his dream ship to be. And I was like "Oh no... that's going to hit like a truck."
conquero's haki was also foreshadowed during the Zoro vs Luffy arc, when they clash lightning could be seen above them
Ur telling me there is 0% chance that was just suppose to look cool cuz it's a battle manga with them clashing and a lightning just appearing in the background
wow, that blackbeard theory makes so much sense, he talks so vividly about dreams because he can't really have them himself, if he can't sleep, so his only option is to go all out and do whatever it takes to achieve his dream.
What would be cool is if Black Beard had three personalities and every time one fell asleep a different one awakened.
Could be true
Awesome vid as always. I wonder how long Oda had planned everything w Buggy. Did he envision Buggy as a Yonko from Buggy's 1st appearance?
A simple one I think everyone knows at this point: the slave auction list (chapter 501) has a list of various races and different prices. One of the races are Minks, who don't show up again until Zou (chapter 795). So (I wasnt reading at the time), I guess people thought Bepo was a fruit user?
In One Piece movie 3 Sanji says: "But i'm more the prince type." and Zoro: "shut up and and Mr. Prince" too, one year after chapter 174
Let's not forget where Oda introduced Kanjuro, they found him in a trash bin on dressrosa lol.
I like when luffy and co are on their way to arlong with sanji, and luffy mentions that zeff said some people call the grand line "paradise". That is an amazing foreshadow dropped right there.
4:53 After starting the manga after watching all the anime up to current (current is episode 1100), I noticed this silhouette first drawn at the end of chapter 2 on the very last page when discussing information about pirate flags. Don't know if it was intentional way back then, but even if it wasn't, it's nice to see things that may have inspired it down the road.
Kanjuro doesn't feel like a prisoner when Kinemon found him in Dressrosa. He was relaxed and not really struggling like a prisoner. Also, he wasn't given a bounty by Doflamingo.
I find it interesting that while Luffy was giving doflamingo the final blow, the anime shows clips of all of Luffys allies saying Luffys name. However, Kanjuro didn’t say Luffys name, all he said was, “Please!”
What if Rocks, Whitebeard and Roger are all sworn brothers like Luffy Sabo and Ace?
4:32 im really loving this walk backwards thru the clues.
2:55 I do not think that could be Sabo because if Ace dying is what undid Sabo amnesia seeing Luffy almost be executed would’ve probably done the same, and if Oda had planned that far ahead we would have seen Bartolomeo in that crowd too.
It was Sabo but Dragon saved Luffy
On Fishman Island, the steroids' they were using came from/were based on Joyboy - giving you massive power then aging you ridiculously - as it is with Noah (the ship of promise) that we first see interactions with relics from Joyboy and the void century.
Then, we see the original with Luffy hitting G5 and then turning into a geezer.
"Mind blowing brain bending narative sack wack"
The words and the delivery of the line. I had a good laugh on that one 😂😂😂😂😂
Not just all the new yonko were at marineford but all of cross guild too which kinda makes me happy. And all of the warlords were there
Just when I thought I couldn't be more impressed by Oda's storytelling you drop this banger.
Don’t forget Oda revealed the one piece in the first chapter. Go back and read it you’ll see.
explain?
Makes me curious if Blackbeard is a Buccaneer like Kuma, would explain the size and "strange" body just as well as any other theory
12:18, when i revisted that Scene, i actually made the Assumption, that it could be the voice of all things, since thats the only thing that would really make sense, aside from it just being Anime Logic
Can't wait for Akainu to be reavealed as Dragons Lover. It's gonna break the internet.
the sabo outfit reminds me that in the anime there is a random character on a horse (in alabasta arc) that is almost wearing Law's entire outfit
Woah I actually didn't realize the connection to his real identity when Sanji called himself "Mr. Prince." Now that you mention it it seems obvious, but that's still really great foreshadowing
There is also Haki mentioned way back at episode 151 by Blackbeard. At the time, Blackbeard could not believe that Luffy has a bounty of 30 million with that weak Haki of Luffy, let alone 100 million. I guess Luffy, Zoro and Sanji's bloodline that got them far.
Haki is already a thing and ODA kept it hidden until the time skip.
another example of when luffy is shown with the voice of all things is when he talked to the dragon thing pre time skip on the way to the grand line i think
So akinu is named red dog in the marines wile his real name is sake cup?!? That’s crazy
2:09
I actually had a discussion with someone who kept arguing about Sabo being a last minute Addition to replace Ace after he died. I actually knew about the third sake sake cup in that panel but i couldn't remember the exact chapter which the guy took as proof im lying. Glad to see i didn't misremember😂😂😂
Kanjuro's antics are absolutely hilarious the second time around
There's another thing that's bothered me for years. Luffy in Little Garden while standing on a dinosaur, says there's two giant heads and a huge hole on the island. We never got to see that hole.
I think the reason Blackbeard doesn’t sleep its because the odd possibility that he is more than one person, probably he has three personalities and theres always one of them awake.
Great vid as alwasy but something i noticd, with kanjaro, was he was the only one not to cry when he was reunited with the other samurai
I watched different channel that dissect and explain anime. Something about your voice is just so comforting to listen to. I could fall asleep with your video's
Oda: "Oh yeah, it's all coming together now."
It makes sense that luffy loves to take regular naps and loves to sleep just as much as he loves eating. It probably helps luffy get back in touch with his dreams for inspiration, power and drive him to his goals. And blackbeard never sleeps yet he still has a dream that he wishes to follow. maybe if he does at all sleep he connects more with his nightmares bringing those ideas to life, manifesting them into reality. Just opposite to how luffy works.
Bro I was shocked when momo said he met Roger I was like wtf was is no one addressing this 😂
im so glad someone else has brought up luffy talking to chuchu at the beginning of the story. i started rereading a few months ago and all i could say was "holy sh*t" when i noticed it.
I think Blackbeard doesn’t sleep because he has multiple personalities and if he sleeps another personality would take over him
I remember thinking that it was cool that Kanjuro was a left-handed artist like me, then apparently never noticed that he’s actually right-handed. 😂
Well if Laugh Tale is indeed somehow linked to Loguetown, literally called "town of beginning and end", then it makes perfect sense for Rojer to laugh so hard when he reached it, just cause it means that answer was there even before journey started.
From what stephen paul (official one piece translator) says the "its not him its them" about blackbeard on jaya is not ambiguous in the original japanese, its exclusively talking about his crew
I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm suddenly finding the "Blackbeard is 3 people" theory a lot more plausible than before. I'm still curious how Luffy and Zoro could tell at the time when they had never even heard of Haki, much less utilized it, while Teech's crew of veteran Haki users couldn't figure it out over spending every hour of every day with him for literal decades. Not to mention the fact that they would hint at such and never actually explain it despite knowing. Unless that was another example of them using the voice of all things?
There's nothing to suggest his crew don't know about it, they could just be chill with three bosses
Except zoro did use haki before against mr1
@@genghisfarnthink he meant the whitebeard crew
Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. Greetings from Czech Republic.
Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu. Zdraví Nogy.
Has nobody realized that throughout one piece Luffy goes into sun god form long before Wano. In impel down during Ivankovs treatment he gets white hair and he magically survives the super dangerous treatment. He used the sun god form to not die. I think this also happens once in Dressrosa, not as sure about that.
Kanjiro, being a traitor, is even blatant in his design. Kanjuro's design is based on a kabuki actor. He was playing the role of Oden's retainer. Because One Piece is so inconsistent with character design that it loops back around to be consistent, nobody batted an eye at his design or thought it would be significant.
Not sure if this moment is anime only but during the orochi/kanjuro flashback when kanjuro is drawn as scribbles and has no voice, orochi gives him a devil fruit. Only kin and kanjuro have devil fruits in the akazaya so that was a giveaway
