    Can't wait for the 4 part series of "geography is everything: the world of one piece" every part being 6 hours. Talking about every single island and the relationship of those islands. It will be Tekking's magnum opus.

    54:10 It makes WAY MORE SENSE for Zunesha to just tear down the walls. If you drain the water, but the walls remain, it will just fill up again. Not to mention that, while Zunesha is indeed massive, one trunk at a time it would take FOREVER to drain that amount of water!

    Tekking I just had the longest, most stressful day at my new job (it’s a driving job). I prayed I would look on my subscription list, and see that you uploaded a video. And lucky for me my prayers were answered. This video was exactly the length of my travel to my destination. I love your videos, thank you for being you and existing.

    I’m putting on my Tin Foil Hat for this one.
    There was an equivalent to Okinawa back in the void century, it’s separate from wano itself but in the vicinity. The ones living there was Toki’s clan and that’s why we don’t see them now, and that’s why Toki teleported OUTSIDE of Wano because they were outside to begin with.
    As for why we don’t see them now, the WG was their enemy and when the walls around Wano were made, they did not make it back inside or they made the honourable decision to fight the WG outside delaying them from getting to Wano so the walls could be built, they lost and the island disappeared (which the WG can do because they made Gods Valley disappear.

    @Tekking101 I think the reason Itachi used crows was in part due to Temari having a weasel summon to go with the kamaitachi concept since temari used her tessen to utilize wind style attacks and the kamaitachi are yokai typically associated with the wind

    Speaking of the weather, Tohoku is also cold and snowy, to the point that Aomori, the northernmost city in Honshu, is the snowiest city on earth. Also, Ringo means apple, and that's what Aomori is famous for

    Interestingly Okinawa *is* referenced already in One Piece, as it was formerly known as the Ryukyu Kingdom, until invasion by Japan in the early 1600s. The Ryugu Kingdom a.k.a. Fishman Island references both the Urashima Taro folk tale, where Taro opens the Tamatebako offered by princess Otohime, and the Ryugyu kingdom. Karate, the traditional fighting style of fishmen, has its real-world roots in the traditional martial arts of Okinawa.
