His bounty is about to get so high after being able to read the poneglyphs 💀

They are going to have to start handing out whole Kingdoms as bounties rather than petty cash.

I heard the world government is looking for this guy. better to keep him safe
Man his intro is just so beautifully done
its really really good i i want to comment that on every video xD
I think we shouldn't try to translate it using the English translation. The only way to translate it is using the Japanese version. Also we should consider that the ancient text appears in more places than just alabasta, there is a book written in it in ohara. We also know what some of the poneglyphs are about, mainly the ancient weapons. Maybe there is a possibility to find out which symbol relates to which weapon and place It is hidden.
we know that the alabasta poneglyph and wano poneglyph had something to do with pluton so it may actually be possible to find matches across them
Totally agreed. I like the hyeroglyph intuition but I'd assume that each square of the Poneglyph follows similar rules of the Kanji writing system.
@@Dkarm26yep the most recurring square is likely to b pluton ESPECIALLY if there is two and they always follow each others
Oda having a kinemon moment after watching this
I wonder if those two symbols mean “sun” and “savior/sovereign” or maybe “poseidon”, because remember the Sea Kings said two sovereigns would be born soon. It makes sense both those people would be incorporated heavily into their text/culture, much like sun gods were in Egypt as you mentioned. Love this video
Hi
I feel like the circle might represent the sun seeing as Oda likes to draw different representations of the sun across multiple cultures Wano, skypeia, Alabasta, ect.
It could have actual meaning. Maybe the D. Initial could be the backwards D bracket thing.
WAIT . WHAT IF THERE ARE OTHER SYMBOLS THAT ODA HAS USED IN THE STORY THAT ALSO APPEAR IN THE LANGUAGE?
@@prod.5starr Omg yes he would do that
The D is the sun rising if ya turn it sideways
Or, the sun symbol with the two dots over it could mean dawn? that seems plausible enough if the D symbolises the dawn
I agree, the circle symbol can easily mean both D and the rising sun if you just assume that "D" means "Dawn"
The easiest way to create a language is to take one you already know and change the letters/symbols that are used in it.
I think It's entirely possible that the Poneglyphs are in Japanese but changing hiragana, katakana and/or kanji with symbols created by Oda
Yeah . I think it has to have Japanese sentence structure . I think it is probably translatable but I don’t think anyone who doesn’t know Japanese will figure it out .
Hopefully Yuderon puts some time into this
The whole quadrat thing sounds like Hangul
That’s not a new language, that’s just a new writing system
Wouldn't make it a new language, although no character pronouncing any of the words could be a hint it's just a writing system
@One that’s not even close to being correct. If that were the case cursive and print would be different languages.
Orthography =/= language.
Edit: also that’s not how you use “no shit Sherlock”
Tolkien didn’t create his languages for the lord of the rings. He created the lords of the rings for his languages.
I always wondered why Robin never taught anyone else how to read them. Like if I knew a language no one else did I’d be teaching the whole crew how to read it at least
remember that the crew have been together for like 6 months total, maybe the language is super complex. I mean it took a lot of studying at clover island just to learn it and robin was hella smart
@@Mateo-fo5xdnot to mention Robin has hella trauma related to the last people who could read the poneglyphs. I'm not sure she would even want to risk endangering her friends by teaching them
@@antiope-d9780There's also a theory that To read Poneglyphs, you must inherit the ability.
@@antiope-d9780 they are all already heavily dead wanted expect maybe chopper. So it wouldnt matter if he would taught them
@@borsalino177not at all, in wano multiple people including big mom and kaido’s higher ups are specifically trying to capture robin stating that theyll torture her and maim her so she cant escape and force her to read the phoneglyphs for them before they kill her, she wouldnt wish that fate on anyone, let alone her friends
Man it’s been fun watching Hidden, too bad he never existed and the Hidden Island an open stretch of ocean
Slight addition to the idea of Poneglyphs being based off hieroglyphs, Oda meant the story to be shorter so Alabasta(the Egypt arc...) definitely had a bunch of symbolism packed in there everywhere. Like for example the panel with Robin and Cobra in the tomb had a bunch of symbolism packed in there that people only really started noticing as of recently, as of the increase in relevancy of Alabasta after Queen Lili and Vivi's recent reintroduction into the story.
At 15:29, I recognize that symbol on the left side of Nico Robins face as an older version of a chinese symbol. It’s the one with the two U’s and a line in it. Originally, it was an upside down person in the ancient writings, but the newer version of it. The word is nì which means to go against. In the video “Chinese Characters Explained 2: Ones that represent meanings” by the UA-cam channel “Fluent in Mandarin”, you can see a visual representation of it 3:34 into the video.
The gold roger text would be our sample base because we can tie either english or kanji to the words we know oden annd robin read saying I will guide these texts to the ends of earth
Little thing I noticed that is consistent with this analysis: the "sun symbol" is identical to how luffy's gear 5 pupil/irises in his eyes are drawn
You literally won me over by having the fastest reader in the world in your video. Amazing! 😂
Ive been rewatching the series now that my mom is into OP. She just met Boa and is getting introduced to haki. The scene where Luffy uses Conquerors to stop the gorgon sister from smashing the stone girls is immediately superimposed over the SUN. Way back around ep. 400 or so Oda made sure to depict the sun imagery for Luffy
I don't think I've ever seen or heard of a video that goes anywhere near as deeply as this one does on this subject. It was very interesting, as most of your OP theory/analysis videos are! Good luck with your Japanese lessons 😅
the sun symbol is similar (depending a lot on which one you use) to the alchemical symbol for gold, also represents the sun. If it helps for something, maybe there is some alchemical symbology as well in there.
this was a fun and entertaining video, good job man.
Hey, I'll have to stop you right there.
It's illegal to try and decipher the ponegliffs y'know.
I've been binging these videos and this is the one that solidifed THI as a real one piece archaeologist, and exactly what role I would want to be in that world (just dont tell anyone.)
I can definitely see Oda having key symbols or imagery mean something consistent all throughout the poneglyphs for sure. It's more like a hidden code or phrase among the poneglyphs that we may be able to decipher. Its kinda like taking 2 similar languages like , say Arabic and Urdu as an example and comparing them since they are so similar. The combination thing of symbols is similar to kanji or even some letters in arabic due to the amount of variation that can be given to them....
Good video!
its not an alphabetic writing system its logographic/ideographic
AND because Oda's first language is Japanese, and the way Rogers signature looked, I think its actually read from right to left. the 3 lines of rogers signature appeared to line up on the right side more then the left side, implying that's where he started carving
Finally a video i have to put on watch later, cause im down this very same rabbit hole. And want to get my own conclusions first.
All because i refuse to ignore the alabasta random poneglyph. 🤣
Im back today. And i havent figured out anything major yet. But im in the direction that theres many dated events. As the sun symbol and its iterations could be just that measures of time. Cycles around the sun. Maybe representing seasons. I believe the whole meaning of the word D is written there. When oden wrote rogers name, not just "d." .
Interesting to note that “Gold” is often times associated with the Sun and “Silver” with the moon. So it would make sense if it is a language as to why Gol D Rogers signature would include the symbol of the Sun.
could you share the tracings? It’s essentially a giant dataset, and as an ml engineer I’d love to apply some text as data techniques for fun to see if there’s anything interesting that we can pick up
The tracings I did for the thumbnail are not very accurate to the actual poneglyph writings, so I don't think they would be of much help. It might be a cool idea to do a more high quality version for each poneglyph (that it's possible with) and upload them as a sort of "virtual poneglyph rubbing" that people could use for whatever they wanted. I'll keep that in mind, thanks!
@@TheHiddenIsland- I see, yeah that would be really cool for sure!
@@TheHiddenIsland- I would love that
@@TheHiddenIsland- i mean im really good at this stuff, so i can just go make a copy of every poneglyph and post it somewhere or send it to your dms.
I would also be curious to see what more could be extracted and understood!!
I would think Oda created a fully functional language because if scholars had to pass down a way to decipher it, and only select people with that knowledge can read it… it can’t just be random gibberish or the whole concept of language and translation falls apart. It at least has to have a code or key letters like a cryptogram.
The final draft of the Tokyo Revengers ending😂🤣🤣🤣
Up there with G(A).O.T and the nonexistent ones for Teen Titans, Spectacular Spider-Man, and Dragon Ball Z!
I would like to add a couple of things
1: We might be able to figure out which direction to read the ponegliphs(columns or rows) based on weather it's a Lode Ponegliph or not. The ones in Alabasta are probably meant to be read from the top left, down, then the next column on the right. The Lode Ponegliphs(other than maybe the one roger wrote on) are likely meant to be read like normal sentences.
2: You said it would make sense if that symbol for the sun was written somewhere around the D. I think it's possible that the whole symbol is the "Gol", considering we could also interpret his name as having connections to the sun.
If it is the D part of the name, then the two horizontal dots could represent a "period", while the single one might be a comma. The symbol for the D clan would then be the circle with the horizontal line below it, and the two dots on top of it. Yet again...I agree that the most likely direct translation would be to Japanese, which I have no knowledge about.
If it is translatable Oda needs to give us the key to the language when the series is done so we can translate the ones we've seen
‘They weren’t inspired by Italian’
We don’t know that. Luffy has not smashed his head into one while jumping yet.
Look the writers known as James S.A. Corey came up with the base idea for a future language in The Expanse and when the show was being produced they got an actual conlanger to complete and smoothen out Lang Belta even kept a couple words that wouldn't have worked out. If Oda didn't pull a Tolkien, hopefully someone can help make it "real".
I hope you are safe from CP0, and most of all, great video! I love this kind of content and I feel like there is too little videos like this on the series
Olivier Levasseur, aka La Buse, Roger's inspiration, also wrote a cryptogram meant to tell the location of his treasure. It looks quite a lot like poneglyphs and was never succesfully deciphered.
Bro I just finished The Reverie! You killed it! The Mosses Mosses fruit and the Tontata haki had me dying 😭💀
Jokes in this video were not only good but your delivery was great. The Cthulhu line got me pretty good lol
Theorizing should have hit the record with this manga/anime series compared to any other. For this am indebted to Oda san. Mystery with action and adventure - who makes plots like this these days ? Truly there seems to be no hope of any other anime/manga rivaling one piece.
The sun makes sense but the common ones like the snake thing it could be vague like life or animal because poneglyphs are huge and would need alot of characters
I've always wondered when someone would try to learn the ancient language. I just thought they would run it through some pattern recognition code. This is cool
The navy is about to send a buster call to his house
At 22:45, if those poneglyphs actually mean "Pirate Gol D Roger" it is also fair to assume that, besides the word "pirate", each symbol actually translates to a sound, rather than meanings, since you won't translate proper names. And if this is true we also might guess that the first poneglyph means "pirate", the I and reverse D the sound "gol", the O the sound "d" and the rest should sound "roger"
I wouldn't be surprised if the Rio poneglyphs could be read left to right, right to left, or up and down. Rayleigh did say that the Straw hats could come to a different conclusion to the true history. Is that why Roger and the crew laughed? Did Oden read it one way not realizing that it can be read another?
Y'know, incidentally, the circle with the dot in it is also the alchemic symbol for the sun, as well as the element gold. Sun god Nika and Gol D. "Gold" Roger, perhaps? Maybe the Straw Hat lineage was foreseen by the writers of the poneglyphs? Plus Roger is the only person we've ever seen leave his own message in poneglyph writing (I think)
still think the foreshadowing when luffy eats the fruit is crazy, as soon as he scars his eye and proves himself brave the fruit calls out to him and he becomes happier, not a "wow i'm so happy, "I have become" like the happieness was bestowed
Once again I’m in amazement with one piece so much lore packed into one story. Hidden island big up yourself bro going thru all that research of ancient language just for a maybe the poneglyph writing isn’t gibberish lol 👏🏾👏🏾
The translated "D" from Gol D Roger, seems to imply D is short for Dawn. As the sun symbol is above a horizon line, but below what could be stars.
Now if we look at Hindu mythology we pull Hanuman (Luffy inspiration) and the enemies of the Gods, the Asura. The sun symbol below a horizon line with the two dots can represent the Asura, The twilight hours, or even the evening.
I think it would be awesome if someone does figure out how to completely decipher the poneglyphs. But I don't have the time or mental capacity for it to be me
The world government issued an edict to eliminate you with 50 buster calls at once ....
You are doomed man..
For the last resort throw your books into water to save them or call the straw hats, only luffy can save you now ... And your Bounty is 10 billion berries..
You Hi D.D. en islan D.
Is pandaman not correlating to the weird panda guy thats like everywhere as a background character throughout one piece who is either seen as different members of different crews or just randomly looks at the camera when no one thinks its watching like the snail waving in adventure time?
The poneglyph writing looks exactly like Mayan heiroglyphs, they both have squares with a few symbols meaning a phrase or sentence. The Mayans also have a rain god named Itzamna that was known as "god D" prior to being deciphered so maybe oda speaks Mayan heiroglyph
yo the Rodgers name part and the sun icon being presumably close to where the D should be blew my mind great video!!!
I think the fans are overestimating Oda's planning, no, he is a master of not planning, but seeding plots.
Am not saying he isnt planning, but am saying that he dosnt do as much planning as to where every detail of the world has been plotted out and planed down to every single event right from the getgo.
However, things like what was written on the Poneglyphs, and the nature of the main cast, those are so central to the plot that they have a lot of detail planed into them.
I dont doubt there are spoilers written in the poneglyphs, if not that, there are plenty of easter eggs in there.
Ngl if robin really cared about the crew she would teach them how to read the poneglyphs cuz what if she got kidnapped and killed then there's no one piece
(For legal reasons this is a joke)
I Honestly wonder why some tryhard fans, havent started trying to translate the porneglyph text into something readable xD
I’m just assuming the one piece is like a written version of world history. Because if it’s the friends they made along the way, it would make this the WORST show to exist. Makes lost and game of thrones look good
Nah u can READ Ponegliphs now? Tryna learn fr
Me too🙋🏾♂️
i hope that oda gives us the translation of the ancient language after one piece finally ends so we can decipher the poneglyphs too
I think the poneglyph that Zoro and chopper found in alabasta is the one that robin is looking for.
That's an episode filler, Is no Canon.
Someone should send a letter to shueisha asking for an SBS question about wether Oda made them readable or not
The poneglyph writing reminds me of the Korean Hangul writing system to a degree.
Ten minute in your show the roseate stone amd the kids in picture are from town school and its other side of uk haha
GoL D ROGeR. The letters are there, quite similar if the letters were written upside down and read from right to left, but letter being caps means it starts and ends the vocalization.
Could be just simplification of the language for some letters to show the name as snake seems to be something like soldier/deity and sun in egyptian with some more abstract meanings... but there's alphabet. :o| is definitely D. if its there and i is o. R in Roger seems to flip like mirror as other starts and other ends vocalization.
Didn't Oda say somewhere that the most knowledgeable fans could theoretically guess what the one piece is correctly? Did he hide some foreshadowing throughout? Is it a random easter egg? Is it learning the language of the poneglyphs? I hope I live to see the end of OP
before you even mentioned it, seeing the sun disc right around where the "D" in Gol D. Roger should be was a real, "Oh Shit" moment. great vid as always!
Robin talking gibberish is so creepy I regret watching it in the middle of the night
Well, we know that the Porneglyph on Fishmen Island was signed "Joyboy". So "Joyboy" must be written in the end of the Text on the Stone. By that means, couldnt we figure out the Signs for "Joyboy" and look for them on other Pornyglyphs?
We could,but we would need a clear and close enough panel of the bottom of the poneglyph and the only close up we get as far as I remember,is the the top left shot hidden island already used in his vid.
I enjoy ur videos so much bro, keep it up
Also if god damn clingon can be a language why cant ponoglyph text be
I would do unspeakable things for an hour long version of the intro
another banger coming through
This is huge. Dude attempted to read a fukinn qr code.
6:15 cthulu's birth certificate 😂😂
That was a nice one
I didn't expect to learn that the D. initial stands for "day" or "dawn" in this video. Sweet research!
From comic book to linguistics. I love it
I wonder if one day we will actually get info in the manga on how to read the Poneglyphs. It will be crazy to go back through the arcs and see what they said this entire time.
Bro chill or cp0 bout to pay you a visit
People forget One Piece is not Dragonball. It's not never ending, the endgame has been in Oda's mind most likely since chapter 1. Because obviously he had an idea of what the One Piece would be and how it relates to events.
This means that he clearly pre-planned concepts like Joyboy, Sun God Nika, the Nika fruit and Imu in early One Piece... because they are relevant to the endgame.
very well done, congratulations.
If circle is sun, and the snake is uraeus. Maybe, Uraeus is Uranus, the ancient weapon?
Lets start with what roger written. What if Oda combined heiroglyphs and japanese? We should compare.
I always thought that phoneglyph is a writing that not supposed to be read, but heard. That’s why most of the time we see Robin touching it when she read/hear it
hey man callin my eyes virgins aint coo😂
Dude I swear if oda takes a poop fans will look for hidden meaning lol
yes i will, he’s foreshadowing the dooki dooki no mi
The sun circle you are pointing out is also ancient Chinese for the sun and thus the root for the kanji in Japanese. In china the character was a circle with a dot in the center but when they invented printing systems they standardized everything into a square shape with transformed the circle with dot into square with a horizontal line through it. Just thought that since Oda’s mother language is Japanese which is based off of Chinese and since Chinese/kanji are square shaped conglomeration symbols comprised of other more simple radicals combined into new combinations to create new meanings it might make more sense for Oda to replace those base radicals with different symbols but have a key that translates back to Japanese. Having an alphabet is soooo western ;) if Oda took the most common 100 radicals and assigned them new shapes he could hide Japanese kanji characters in this way and they would look like an ancient foreign language
“Having an alphabet is sooooo western”
Korea would like to have a word with you.
@@sun5kong93 oh you mean that barbarian enclave of duck molesters that primarily just rebranded Chinese culture and pretended to have their own language while just using Chinese for 2000 years? teeheeheeheeheehee [laughs in racist Chinese aristocrat voice]
well that what actually a wonderful watch, it's been a while since i've seen a one piece theory video developing an idea on logical reasoning and not solely relying on imagination, controversy and click-bait
Thanks a lot for those 25 minutes !! I hope you'll keep on posting interesting content like that :)
0:37 thats a strech from here to the moon lmao
this video was a huge waste of time
brud is dedicated gotta respect it
FROM WHATS EPISODE IS THIS 8:46 ?
what was the hidden meaning at 1:09
If it IS readable it’s probably just a shit ton of inside jokes and questions to the readers. Such as. Why’d you spend who knows how long to read a bunch of gibberish? Just in Japanese.
Me looking at the D in poneglyph :...... huh it has a sun.... what sun thing starts with d- Shit D is Dawn!
It has a line for land under and two dots above for rays!
Also that means Robin knows that D is dawn!
I think it needs to be translated with Japanese sentence structure in mind. Not English.
I don’t just mean reading right to left . I mean the structure of the type of words used in a sentence will probably reflect Japanese .
*knock* *knock* CP0, OPEN UP!!
Are you indirectly saying joyboy is sun god nika since there are so many sun symbols talking to poiseden (and poneglyph were created by the end of void century)
This deserves more attention than it has. This LITERALLY gains a lot more traction now that we know about Nefertari Lili's connection with D and her betrayal of the world nobles. It says that her "mistake" caused the dissemination of these poneglyphs, which highly supports your assessment that Oda meant the poneglyphs to be originally an Alabasta-specific thing
Another youtube described an earlier anime, previous to One Piece, that contains the same writing style. Have you come across it?
there's some inspiration from japanese characters in some of those symbols fyi. japanese can also be read to the right or to the bottom btw
18:23 like this is literally how radicals function within japanese kanji. 日
I know you probably won't, but i encourage you to learn the basics of japanese. i learned how to read the two notable systems of the three in a couple days. it's honestly not bad. it would help with videos like these and general appreciation of this medium.
I’ll never forget about that one time zoro found a poneglyph in alabasta before anybody else 💀
Awesome vid man!
This is a cool video but the Egyptian pictographs were never deciphered and much less with a combination of “Greek” and Egyptian pictographs bc you cant combine pictographs with the Greek alphabet. It’s silly. The Roseta stone is bs
Oda is such a genius, that i wouldn't be surprised that we actually can read poneglyphs.
He just hasn't decided to reveal it, as it would spoil us a lot.
Let's remember that unlike Tolkien, Oda has to keep the story going.
So i wont be surprised if Poneglyph language can be translated to Japanese.
Yessir 🔥 glad to finally see this
