    It's funny how this arc started with Luffy wanting to go to Marijoa to save Vivi and now, 52 chapters later, Marijoa has come to him. The next 3 chapters will be insane!

      @UltimatePower01 No it isn't. For example almost every arc in a Shounen manga ends with a climactic battle between the main character and the villain of the arc. It is repetitive. But that alone is not a criticism. Many arcs end with Luffy and other strawhats as well as other side characters getting a one v one with major fighters on the opposing sides. It is far more if not equally as repetitive as the countdowns. Yet that alone is not a criticism of the trope. The repetitiveness may annoy you in particular. That is fine. But if you want to cite it as a criticism, you will have to explain why repeating that particular action in some arcs is bad. Otherwise you are confusing your personal feelings with criticism.

    The only reason Saturn is there is because of Vegapunk and the command authority. It makes sense for the other Elders to arrive now that Luffy/Nika is also there. However, I have no clue how the stakes aren’t through the roof and Luffy will be able to do a 5v1.

    To me, the telepathic communication between the 5 Elders seemed just like when Shirahoshi & Luffy were able to hear the Neptunians, or when Momo & Zunesha were able to communicate with each other.
    This got me thinking: Saturn keeps talking about humans as if he's not part of them. So maybe, the 5 Elders really are non-human beings who just each ate different models of the Human-Human-fruit, to pose as them.
    If that's not the case, then here's a crazy theory:
    Allegedly, zoan-type devil fruits have a "will of their own".
    But what's interesting is, that Vegapunk had to rely on studying bloodlines in order to research Devil Fruits.
    So my crazy theory is this: individuals from 800y ago have been turned into Devil Fruits, except for the 5 Elders & Imu; aka Saturn really is this creature he's turned into in this chapter!

    My prediction for this is since VP was the most intelligent man on earth, bringing the Elders was his plan all along. Not sure about the outcome tho (because how you defeat such monsters after dead?).
    I think people disliking the countdown are being distracted way to much or being to naive by it rather than thinking on the events its triggering... There is no reason to give so much importance to a countdown specially just the first chapter that it was mentioned when the trigger effect was summoning all the Elders, thats what matters and people dont really see it! Like come on, its not that deep but it is? lol

    At the point where Merphy mentioned himans being called incects by Saturn made me think a bit. What if each of the elders have a different name for humans. Like the bird could call them something like mice as a theme around prey. But not knowing for sure what the others are makes this short theory a bit of a hit or miss.

  • @trevorelliott3218
    @trevorelliott3218 3 місяці тому +1

    This is a vibe I get from Saturn frisbee-ing himself back and turning himself into a buzzsaw, but it feels like he's used to fighting in this logic. More precisely, it definitely feels like he's not only seen but fought Nika's powers in the past.
    Definitely lends more credence to the "Gorosei and Imu have been alive since Void Century" and also just a cool aspect of the fight. Rather than just taking the giga disrespect hit, being flabbergasted and then coming back for more (Like Kizaru and Kaido), Saturn seems to be using a similar cartoon logic back at Luffy.

    Let's not forget that Punk Records is actually Vegapunks brain, so he may not actually be dead in the strictet sense. And if the message is really coming from Punk Records it might be that it's not even a recording at all but rather a livestream, which would explain the 10 minutes countdown, and the mesage itself my be showing actual live footage of Luffy as Nika and showing the world the true form of the 5 Elders.

    @jundertaker0368 3 місяці тому

    This might sound stupid but your neat idea of Vegapunk and his satellites being a parallelism of the elder stars and Imu lead me to come up with this: If you have 6 on one side and 5 on the other that does not sound quite correct so it would subsequently seem feasible for their to be a kind of sixth elder star. However if we consider the satellites to "orbit" around Vegapunk, we must ask what the elder stars actually "orbit" around and that would be the sun and in that idea the missing elder star would be the earth/Imu. However since this would mean Imu would be on par with the other Gorosei and I don't that's the case, neither do I think that the elder stars are actually orbitting around Luffy as our current sun god. My idea is now a bit far fetched. What if Imu is simultaneously the sixth Elder Star but also the former sun god (however that may be possible, maybe Imu and the sixth elder star fused in a way or whatever). If that were true, it would mean the Gorosei would orbit around Imu instead of Luffy. Or what seems much more likely is that originally the gorosei were supposed to serve the sun god, but Imu somehow took over and made them serve him and prohibitted the worship of the sun god (which would be a parallelism for the church prohibitting the heliocentric modell of our solar system). That is of course all just speculation and I am probably very wrong, but nevertheless thanks for bearing with me for that long and have a nice day😄

  • @loupe500
    @loupe500 3 місяці тому +1

    I agree with your Imu theory. I think the Saturn is way too inhuman to actually being a human being. I mean, this spider form doesn’t seem a transformation (like Kaido’s dragon form). It almost feels like it’s true self. Idk if they are devil fruit users. My theory is that Imu is a devil fruit user and the elders are his summons from his devil fruit (like Cracker’s biscuit or Big Mom’s homies, but with more independence). It’s either that or they are actually devils (I mean, the name devil fruit must come from somewhere, maybe there truly are some devils and the fruits are just a prison of sorts, and the elders are free from their prison).

  • @johnschulz1794

    One thing I dont understand is why can't the message be played in loop, given it wouldn't take more than 10-15mins. So by this way even if they stop the playback by 10 mins atleast it would have reached most people if not for all, that's enough to get the ball rolling. And playing on loop has upside of whoever missed it first time can listen/watch it so they don't have to take others word for it. So only reason the most brilliant scientist in one piece choose this way should be plot convenience and create drama out of ticking time bomb(not really)

Plus having that count down seems like more of "clearly we can't defeat these guys, we just have to hold them off for ten minutes" kind of fight and I am so here for it. I really don't know how this arc is going to end. I just love hearing everyone's theories, this fandom is so smart sometimes it is crazy.

    7:30 I don't think we'll get a full message from Vegapunk. Knowing Oda and think on how things are going, I'm almost certain that we'll get only part of the message because the Gorosei will do what they got there to do, but they'll be a little too late because it was such a surprise to them. So I think we'll have a hint of what Vegapunk discovered during his research and the rest will be left for the real endgame.

    What if Imu ate the Den Den Mushi devil fruit. He could probably create a psychic link between the gorosei which explains how they can communicate with each other. Also it could mean that he is connected to every den den mushi in the word explaining how he seems omnipotent. Plus the eyes are similar. It is just silly enough to work in one piece and it could be pretty OP with the right user.

    I wonder how long the countdown will actually last. We saw people all over the world already set up; will the Vegapunks’ countdown just keep filibustering despite that to add to the drama? I definitely think the broadcast will be cut off at some point, so will Vega (logically) throw the most important information at the beginning or build it up too long before some major reveals? We definitely need to save some info for Laugh Tale…

  • @thebishna
