One of my favorite characters. So underrated. What I love about him the most is how pure and neutral he is. He’s not exactly good and not exactly bad he’s just a guy that has a job to do. He doesn’t question the WG despite them clearly having some evil intent and unfair justice system. However he also doesn’t abuse his power as warden and even protects the prisoners from serving any punishment outside of their sentencing. This means he will protect prisoners from being killed by his underlings, peers, and even higher ups. Impel down showed us two of some of the most noble OP characters. Magellan and Bon Clay.
Madara Who only wanted peace Magallen isn’t a judge. Yes WG does alot of bad but they also do their fate share of good. Also most pirates are criminals deserving to be arrested. At the end of the day Magellan isn’t overstepping his boundaries. Many people in his position would give other members of the WG a pass to take advantage of his prisoners. Let’s be honest nobody is going to fight for prisoners rights. Despite tahat he will still protect his prisoners from shiryu and is protecting Doffy from the Gorosei’s assassins.
@@chanceofbliss8175 Of course, he is the warden... if the prisoners do not respect him, then no one will. And it is not confirmed if he killed them or not, Magellan could have ordered his men to give him the antidote. Basically letting them suffer for a moment.
Magellan do question the WG... if he did not, he would let the WG kill Doflamingo. The way I see it, he is like: Look dudes, You are bullshit, but here in Impel Down I am going to follow the rules to the end of the world. You can do all the crap you want outside of Impel Down, but this is my territory.
I think Megellan's logic regarding the death's of inmates is probably along this line: These prisoners are here because they committed untold crimes and upset the order of the world. There are prisoners from level three down that have aided in overthrowing entire nations. They need to be held here either for eternity, or until the World Government decides their fate. The fact that they are here, however means that these lawless monsters are deserving of some form of punishment fitting the level of destruction they brought onto the unsuspecting, innocent masses. HOWEVER, the jailers are not the final arbiters, and therefore cannot dish out executions as they see fit. If the prisoners die because they choose to give up after being subjected to their daily tortures, that is one thing, and it speaks to how weak they really are. If a Jailer chooses to cut them down, however, then that shows callous disregard for the whole process, and makes them no better than the prisoners themselves. Impel Down may be a sadistic place of internment, but it is NOT an execution platform.
I always figured it was just that Magellan always had a reason to kill prisoners (even if not a good one), while Shiriyu cut them down because he was bored
Magellan is one of the biggest power-scaling mysteries of the pre-time skip era along with Enel. With haki now fleshed out, I'd love to see how strong he is now compared to Luffy!
@@katakuri.jcharlotte8675 not really though? The 2 paramecia we’ve seen have had the whole “turn environment into thing” effect, so there’s no evidence that’s his awakening. Still possible but just not likely
There are also characters able to simply change the structure of their body under certain conditions, so the Venom Demon looks more like Enel's Amaru, Moria's Shadow Asgard or Ceasar's Shinokuni rather than Awakening, even if the Impel Down staff seems very "familiar" with this power. Moreover, as many said, more than modifying the environment Magellan seems to emit enormous quantities of poison, with which he cover himself.
I think he will always be incredibly strong, because Haki probably doesn't deny who hits him to be poisoned. I wanted to see more of his personal beliefs 'though, hope he will be involved again in the main plot.
haki is completely useless against magellan, even if you hit him with haki and even if it did protect you, you still got the poison on you, so the moment you run out of haki to use or stop using it on your own, the poison will kick in and start killing you.
difficult question, i think magellan is probably at the level where he can just tank gun fire, if the bullet even gets through his outer layer of poison without melting in the process, worst case scenario you're just making him stronger by adding lead poisoning to his arsenal.
@@Solorflare99 Haki allowed Luffy to hit him, but what I meant is that Magellan's case is different, because he is not made by poison, but covered by it. So even if you punch him with haki, your hand still gets covered by poison, and it can enter your body.
It's 11:35 AM over here in Norway. I like this upload schedule. Keep up the good work my dude. To reward yourself, buy a couple 100 inches of coke for yourself.
Magellan is the kind of guy who will always follow the official procedure. Shiryu and the assassins acted not officially and so he stands against them. The rest of the torture in impel down is the official punishment given after a "trial" in enis lobby so he sees it as justified
That sounds about right. If Doflamingo was sentenced to death Magellan probably wouldn't care even if he was ordered to carry out the execution. But Doflamingo was (seemingly) sentenced to life in the deepest pit of the world and that's what'll happen, even if the government changes their mind.
I think all level 6 prisoners are "awaiting trial" or waiting for execution, like Shiryu or Ace. If they were condemmed to life in prison, the whole "erase from history" bit would be pointless, but if they are waiting trial and that wait last until they die, it's diferent.
Captain Angamos Making a trial for someone you want to forget is rather pointless. And imprisoning them is pointless if you are going to kill them anyway. The exception to that was Ace, but he was just in level 6 for safekeeping. "Public execution" is the opposite of "erasing from history". I believe the reason they are kept alive in case the government needs them. The criminals thrown there are strong enough to be an officer in a Yoko's crew. They are the World Government's last trump card in case they are really in trouble, for example if they lost the War at Marineford.
@@captainangamos2212 Yeah... it is life in prison. Which is some of the worst torture for some of them. Like Oda says why Luffy do not kills his enemies: This world is based on ideals, if your ideal get destroyed and you have to see those ideals collapsed ... then that is worst than Death. So that is the point of level 6. Shiryu was not waiting any trial, Shiryu would have returned to impel down right after he fought Blackbeard. Jimbe was in impel down to convince him to go to the war, Ace was in impel down waiting for his execution. So Ace and Jimbe were in level 6 to be released afterwards... but they are the exception, not the rule
I know the worst thing about Magellan should be his poison,but dear God i can't stop thinking about what would happen if an emergency breakout happens,and he forgets to wash his hands after wiping.
He's one of my favourite villains but honestly, this guy is strong as hell. Especially with the recent-ish revelation that he's protecting Doflamingo from the assassins (who are clearly very good if they're able to, presumably, infiltrate Impel Down and also ordered by the Gorosei/Im Sama), his strength is underestimated. Practically a one-man army in that arc.
Reiju would end up as tankman and Magellan would end up in the bathroom. None of them can be seriously poisoned. I guess because of that tough skin Reiju would win. Then again, Venom demon may be too much.
Yes, you're right. Luffy was down and should've died according all laws of realism. So Buggy, Aokiji, Crocodile and Machellan are the only four that just as well killed Luffy.
@@levistewart8856 I dunno if her asking Katakuri why he fell on his back is admitting he threw the fight. I think she was more wondering why he purposefully fell on his back when he finally ran out of stamina and collapsed. He did it out of respect for his opponent which Brulee didnt quite understand, but by no means did he throw that fight, I think he simply was outlasted by Luffy. Luffy is used to taking hits way more than Katakuri is, and it's not unfeasible to think that while Katakuri is stronger and faster, Luffy simply has more stamina and managed to wear him down over time until the big guy finally fell
I got swarmed by hornets in South Carolina when I was 8, what a coincidence. After I stopped crying I got angry and wanted to go break down the nest and my dad wouldn't let me (thanks dad), so I went inside and watched the Digimon movie. Then I got angrier cause that movie sucks.
He is admiral level.. just that it was pre time skip oda didnt show the true power of haki back then, same case with marco. Strong character with haki which im sure megallan has.
22:22 Common misconception that I hope the anime solves once and for all: there were no assassins after Doflamingo at Impel Down. He was just claiming that to the ceiling, in a rethorical way, as people in manga and anime are wont to. 30:38 Hey, I drew a frog based on that one two days ago! It was because it is so poisonous and that was the theme for the first day of #inktober. 31:28 Fun fact: the botulinum toxin is a deadly neurotoxin that can kill easily by inflicting paralysis in the muscles, so what did humans did with it? They call it *Botox* and inject it in the face to look younger. 35:35 You are not the first one to think about Magellan in a lewd way, I just checked the rule34 website and... nope... you are not the first one...
It's true that we don't KNOW assassins are after Doflamingo, but I think we can believe him when he says they are. From the World Govt's perspective, Doflamingo is one of the most dangerous men alive and is quite possibly the ONLY person on the planet who's been able to threaten them so severely and get away with it. The only reason they haven't executed him is likely because he'd blab their secrets before they could kill him, but him being in Impel Down Level 6 is pretty much the only chance they have to silence him covertly without him having a chance to follow up on his threats of releasing their secrets. It's also worth noting that, outside of World Govt members themselves, Doflamingo probably understands their MO better than anyone, considering he's had direct contact with them quite frequently, and actually was one and therefore understands their thought processes pretty well. So yeah, it might be true that we didn't see one of the assassins in a panel or anything like that, but I think when Doflamingo says there are probably assassins coming to kill him, we can make a VERY reasonable assumption that he's right. It makes logical sense and while Doflamingo isn't exactly a man of great moral character, I don't think he'd make proclamations like that, especially considering how well he knows the World Government, without meaning it.
@@darthvaderreviews6926 Couldn´t have put that better. Just to add to it... from a writing perspective... Oda had no reason to include it, unless it added to the story. When Doflamingo talks... Oda is talking. So there are definitely assasins comming to kill a guy who knows about Mary Geoise treasure
Man, Magellan had PK Buggy, Luffy, Croco and Jinbe running away... and damn near one shot BB and his crew lol he’s extremely powerful.. maybe on par with the Admirals tbh..
It is only now that it occours to me. The Totland arc was a mirror of the impel down/ marineford arc. Designed to show that the whole crew had developed enough to achieve victory’s like saving Sanji where before they couldn’t save ace. But to also power scale them as still being as powerless against Yonko in combat as they were against Magellan before haki.
I guess if the World Government went to use Moriah’s Kage Kage no Mi they’d use the shadows of the prisoners of Impel Down, would be very useful since most of them will never see the light of day again
About the venom vs poison: Not every language makes a difference between those. I know German doesn't (we use the word "Gift" for both), and I think 毒 (doku) is used for both as well in Japanese. So yeah, that's just basically not an issue outside of the English language.
I feel Megellan is about on par with an admiral. He could become an admiral if he really wanted to but he simply doesn't. After all being an admiral means commanding ships out in the ocean, having to deal with orders from above and having constant meddling. In Impel Down he's essentially in total control as the government doesn't really care what he does. There are a few inmates that he is not allowed to kill or seriously harm but most of them he can torment and torture however he wants. Also his subordinates are pretty much at his mercy and he can run the prison in any way he sees fit. As an admiral he is usually just following the whims of the world nobles and being surrounded by nagging subordinates who he can't just fire. He also will have a strong public face which means that almost all the time he has to conduct himself in a proper manner.
I will always remember VX gas from the movie "The Rock" and that scene when Nicolas Cage tells the FBI director that It's, "very, very horrible sir. It's one of those things we wish we could disinvent." But besides that Magellan is a straight up beast lol, he may not win every battle but I feel he will always win the war with that poison/venom.
A possible explanation to the poison/venom fruit name and attacks not being 100% venom or poison based: Maybe japanese does not differentiate between poison and venom like english does. German doesnt, venom and poison both translate to word Gift (funny how it means present in one language and poison/venom in the other)
It's the same for Czech language - "jed" Also I tried to use google translator (I know it's not the most reliable source but it's the only one I have) to check how it's written in japanese and if you translate venom it will give you 2 options where one of them is the exact same kanji symbol as for poison (doku) and the second option starts with the same symbol for poison and is followed by a symbol for liquid (doku + eki). So I think this confirms that in general japanese doesn't differentiate - they have a way to specify if they really want to but it is not mandatory.
Hands down my favourite antagonist in the entire series! And I'm not talking because power levels and shit, just everything about Magellan is so damn well done!
hey dude thanks for bringing the lore to life, I spend hours on the wiki and when I try to talk about this stuff no one understands my references but then there are videos like this that easily compact great theories and character bios, thanks.
Remember the Doki Doki no Mi is paramecia, meaning there’s no significant effect to the user if his poison would be struck with armament haki. Meaning learning and using haki wouldn’t help in the offensive capabilities against the fruit’s powers
kuma was actually saving them from kizaru in that situation, although if you count kizaru by himself he could have totally decimated the crew if kuma didnt show up
I would love to see a Luffy vs Magellan rematch someday. I personally think at this point Luffy would win but still barely and that's counting in he has some of the highest poison resistance in the story. Only people beating him that I can think of is Magellan a dude who litteraly eats poison as his main diet, Caesar a dude who can become poison, Raijin a chick who drinks poison smoothies, and fucking Kaido because he's Kaido
While I have never heard of Venom using actual venom/poison against his foes, there is a "antivenom" character who has the ability to cleanse any and all abnormalities with a body. That includes everything from a disease or foreign infection, to even "fixing" the mutant gene! Which means he can remove any mutant's powers were he to get a jump on them and hold them down for a few moments. And obligatory "Venom is the symbiote/black suit. He is a member of an alien hive mind like the Borg. Antivenom is an entirely different variation on that species like Carnage is."
Hey tekking what do you think about Blackbeard having some relation to locks ? His Birthday is the only Thing that happened 40 years ago that i found. Except for the shaky/Garp, whitebeard/weevils mom and the bigmom/Kaido thingies. I think it would be a huge coincidence if it had nothing to do with locks.
As much as I love the crew, I am really hoping for another solo Luffy arc. I am talking at least a 30 episode/60 chapter arc of only Luffy, maybe Zoro tags a long at max.
Not downplaying how great a Luffy and Zoro arc would be but I'd really enjoy an Usopp and Luffy arc. It'd be continually hilarious, always great action with Luffy, and maybe some interesting Observation Haki development with Usopp. Elbaph comes to mind as a possible location for this
I really like your shirt man. Looks like a nice material. Also great video man I get all my one piece info from you or the manga. I also wanted to thank you for making videos you helped me through a rough patch about a year and a half ago when I was going through a deep depression and watching your videos helped me smile and laugh and made my days a little brighter.
I always saw Magellan as a stamina fighter. he's not the strongest or the most skilled, like most Admirals or hiring in Pirates. He is just literally lethal. He can fight a bit sloppy he just needs to wear you down until his poison debilitates you. so he doesn't need to train with a sword, he doesn't have Marksmanship. He is just all out endurance.
I've wondered if Oda chose the name for Magellan randomly, he thought is was cool, or theres a reason for it. Magellan was the first person to circumnavigate the world. His conversation with Doflamingo may be a precurson to him becoming a Pirate himself. His powers along with Doflamingo's being used in conjunction would be absolutely frightening! Especially if his powers were awakened.
The way you described Magellan's attacks sounded just like the basic description for byakuyas bankai where the user doesnt even have to move a muscle and the opponent will drop dead before them
So Magelan doesnt use haki or at least we havent seen him use haki. What would happen if Magelan was somewhere he could freely use his Red Demon Poison Death thing and also be completely shrouded by armament haki and have not Katakuri level of observation but at least a reliable amount. Do you think he could beat like a Yonko or an Admiral?
You too? I have that wasp phobia, too. I don't know why. I've never been stung by one. Or anything. Wasps just look evil. Those things just emanate EVIL. I see one and if it's within arms reach I freak out.
I say Magellan is mid-high yonko commander level with haki and his motivation after the escapes. I feel like if Shiryu and Magellan worked together they would beat one admiral
No, Marvels Venom has no poison based abilities. He's more or less just a brawler with additional tricks. Think Spiderman with limited Dark Shadow quirk. The Venom is just a naming pattern among most of the symbiots. If I recall there are ones called Poison and Anit-Venom.
The venom symbiote is an alien. It has the ability to take characteristics of the characters it binds with.. That's why he can shoot webs because it bound with Spiderman. And why he's crazy because he first bound to Deadpool.. But it's not out of the question that venom binds with someone that does have some sort of venom and could potentially retain that ability.
Greycat R venom is not actually venom, no poison based abilities it’s just that when Eddie brick got the symbiote he says “we’re poison to peter Parker and Spider-Man that’s why we call ourselves venom” more of a name ting
Magellan's One Piece Treasure Cruise character is fun, he inflicts damage similar to Toxic in pokemon that doubles every turn and cuts the enemy's health on top of that, so it's literally the "Stand there and watch the enemy die" ability
By my count 6 times. -2 times with crocodile -1 with Alkiji -1 with Kuma -1 with Magelin -And the death of ace could be considered as well, since luffy was shot
you gotta realize like all of the level 6 prisoners would be considered part of the supernovas if they got out and continued to be pirates so magellan fought like 10-30 200million+ prisioners
Magellan is so strong that most of the community still thinks he is a Logia user, he is not he's a paramecia like he is seriously strong as hell
It's probably because it looks like he's transforming into poison when he covers himself in the stuff. That's why I thought he was a logia for a while, at least.

Reiju would end up as tankman and Magellan would end up in the bathroom. None of them can be seriously poisoned. I guess because of that tough skin Reiju would win. Then again, Venom demon may be too much.
Boobs is where the poison is stored.
Well that has to be a fanfic now
@@KumaPaws376 then she wiill go through a TS just on her own

"I wonder what sex with Magellan would be like..I think I'm the first person on the Internet to ever pose that question."
Just no
Mistress Sadie might know, pay close attention to the cover serials ;P
The real questions that matter
All I will say is that involves begging and a massive strap on
That’s some spicy lube
Reiji is the only one that could tame that beast.

You forget Buggy D Clown almost executed Luffy.
Yes, you're right. Luffy was down and should've died according all laws of realism. So Buggy, Aokiji, Crocodile and Machellan are the only four that just as well killed Luffy.
Buggy. D. Clown.
Kizaru at Sabaody. But thats another Admiral
Katakuri could’ve killed him too. But he wounded himself to make it fair and Bruleé all but confirms he let him win.
@@levistewart8856 I dunno if her asking Katakuri why he fell on his back is admitting he threw the fight. I think she was more wondering why he purposefully fell on his back when he finally ran out of stamina and collapsed. He did it out of respect for his opponent which Brulee didnt quite understand, but by no means did he throw that fight, I think he simply was outlasted by Luffy. Luffy is used to taking hits way more than Katakuri is, and it's not unfeasible to think that while Katakuri is stronger and faster, Luffy simply has more stamina and managed to wear him down over time until the big guy finally fell
I got swarmed by hornets in South Carolina when I was 8, what a coincidence. After I stopped crying I got angry and wanted to go break down the nest and my dad wouldn't let me (thanks dad), so I went inside and watched the Digimon movie. Then I got angrier cause that movie sucks.
Thanks for the story 👍
Lmao
Hey it’s been 3 years but that doesn’t stop my curiosity, did he end up destroying their nest?
@@thefloormat3297 Yeah he did lol
@@machina5 that's awesome, lol didn't expect a response so quickly
Still waiting for 7 days of law tekking
After wano would be better seeing as he's a main part in this arc
And the koala video.
He is admiral level.. just that it was pre time skip oda didnt show the true power of haki back then, same case with marco. Strong character with haki which im sure megallan has.
22:22 Common misconception that I hope the anime solves once and for all: there were no assassins after Doflamingo at Impel Down. He was just claiming that to the ceiling, in a rethorical way, as people in manga and anime are wont to.
30:38 Hey, I drew a frog based on that one two days ago! It was because it is so poisonous and that was the theme for the first day of #inktober.
31:28 Fun fact: the botulinum toxin is a deadly neurotoxin that can kill easily by inflicting paralysis in the muscles, so what did humans did with it? They call it *Botox* and inject it in the face to look younger.
35:35 You are not the first one to think about Magellan in a lewd way, I just checked the rule34 website and... nope... you are not the first one...
It's true that we don't KNOW assassins are after Doflamingo, but I think we can believe him when he says they are.
From the World Govt's perspective, Doflamingo is one of the most dangerous men alive and is quite possibly the ONLY person on the planet who's been able to threaten them so severely and get away with it. The only reason they haven't executed him is likely because he'd blab their secrets before they could kill him, but him being in Impel Down Level 6 is pretty much the only chance they have to silence him covertly without him having a chance to follow up on his threats of releasing their secrets.
It's also worth noting that, outside of World Govt members themselves, Doflamingo probably understands their MO better than anyone, considering he's had direct contact with them quite frequently, and actually was one and therefore understands their thought processes pretty well.
So yeah, it might be true that we didn't see one of the assassins in a panel or anything like that, but I think when Doflamingo says there are probably assassins coming to kill him, we can make a VERY reasonable assumption that he's right. It makes logical sense and while Doflamingo isn't exactly a man of great moral character, I don't think he'd make proclamations like that, especially considering how well he knows the World Government, without meaning it.
@@darthvaderreviews6926 Couldn´t have put that better. Just to add to it... from a writing perspective... Oda had no reason to include it, unless it added to the story. When Doflamingo talks... Oda is talking. So there are definitely assasins comming to kill a guy who knows about Mary Geoise treasure
"The Most Reliable Man in Hell" might be the coolest title I've ever heard.

Glad you uploaded I work night shift 😂😂😂
Im sayin!
Same here and I agree 100% You good people lol
Graveyard shift Gang. Lol
Take a hit of some ganja problem solved bro
Shout out to the night shift workers
Man, Magellan had PK Buggy, Luffy, Croco and Jinbe running away... and damn near one shot BB and his crew lol he’s extremely powerful.. maybe on par with the Admirals tbh..
Magellan could be admiral level at full power.
It is only now that it occours to me. The Totland arc was a mirror of the impel down/ marineford arc. Designed to show that the whole crew had developed enough to achieve victory’s like saving Sanji where before they couldn’t save ace.
But to also power scale them as still being as powerless against Yonko in combat as they were against Magellan before haki.
I see it as more of a mirror of enies lobby.
I guess if the World Government went to use Moriah’s Kage Kage no Mi they’d use the shadows of the prisoners of Impel Down, would be very useful since most of them will never see the light of day again
About the venom vs poison: Not every language makes a difference between those. I know German doesn't (we use the word "Gift" for both), and I think 毒 (doku) is used for both as well in Japanese. So yeah, that's just basically not an issue outside of the English language.
That‘s why it‘s always funny when somebody says „gift“ instead of „present“. I guess that you could call that an interlingual pun.
There's an important distinction there though, since diagnosing and treating venoms and poisons require different knowledge and tech.
I feel Megellan is about on par with an admiral. He could become an admiral if he really wanted to but he simply doesn't. After all being an admiral means commanding ships out in the ocean, having to deal with orders from above and having constant meddling. In Impel Down he's essentially in total control as the government doesn't really care what he does.
There are a few inmates that he is not allowed to kill or seriously harm but most of them he can torment and torture however he wants. Also his subordinates are pretty much at his mercy and he can run the prison in any way he sees fit. As an admiral he is usually just following the whims of the world nobles and being surrounded by nagging subordinates who he can't just fire. He also will have a strong public face which means that almost all the time he has to conduct himself in a proper manner.
hes probably a candidate if they needed new admirals, i wish haki was around pre TS so we can see magellan true powers
@@DeaDAss-gi6vp But as I stated above he just doesn't want to become an admiral. Garp also doesn't want to be an admiral though for different reasons.
I will always remember VX gas from the movie "The Rock" and that scene when Nicolas Cage tells the FBI director that It's, "very, very horrible sir. It's one of those things we wish we could disinvent."
But besides that Magellan is a straight up beast lol, he may not win every battle but I feel he will always win the war with that poison/venom.
I really wish he would come back at some point. Personally one of my favorite villains and Devil fruits as well
I love the fact tekking rarely has adds in his vids. It's less about clout and money but he genuinely loves doing this
A possible explanation to the poison/venom fruit name and attacks not being 100% venom or poison based: Maybe japanese does not differentiate between poison and venom like english does. German doesnt, venom and poison both translate to word Gift (funny how it means present in one language and poison/venom in the other)
Dammit, I typed pretty much the exact same comment and then I found this... :D
Yeah you might be right, it's the same with Danish. No poison/venom just 'Gift'
Good job. I’ll send you a gift. (Creepy laughter)
It's the same for Czech language - "jed"
Also I tried to use google translator (I know it's not the most reliable source but it's the only one I have) to check how it's written in japanese and if you translate venom it will give you 2 options where one of them is the exact same kanji symbol as for poison (doku) and the second option starts with the same symbol for poison and is followed by a symbol for liquid (doku + eki). So I think this confirms that in general japanese doesn't differentiate - they have a way to specify if they really want to but it is not mandatory.
Same in spanish :v Veneno
Magellan's devil fruit is probably the 2nd one I would pick to have its so powerful like imagine if doflamingo had that fruit so crazy to think
Magellan is one of my favorite characters in OP and finally a video with him from Tekking!
Hands down my favourite antagonist in the entire series! And I'm not talking because power levels and shit, just everything about Magellan is so damn well done!
Finally, I’ve been asking you to make a video on magellan for so long
But is his poison as toxic as 4kids?!?!
urmomstr8 productions not even close kid
*He is clearly a level 85 wizard.*
_Luffy was obviously outmatched_
I like it how I’m literally recapping those episodes now wat a perfect time
Magellan is terrifying in every way, design, power, diarrhea
hey dude thanks for bringing the lore to life, I spend hours on the wiki and when I try to talk about this stuff no one understands my references but then there are videos like this that easily compact great theories and character bios, thanks.
One of the strongest characters in OP to me. Wish he was a admiral.
What would his name be
Remember the Doki Doki no Mi is paramecia, meaning there’s no significant effect to the user if his poison would be struck with armament haki. Meaning learning and using haki wouldn’t help in the offensive capabilities against the fruit’s powers
337 am? Damn you Tekking you know we're gonna watch anyways
Here's a good crossover that can start a flame war: Magellan vs Girorno Giovanna (with his normal Gold Experience, not Requirm).
As much as I love Giorno (no homo), Magellan would win because of Venom Demon
I think the problem with Shiryu was not that he was killing prisoners, but that he was killing them despite Magellan, the Warden, telling him not to.
3:00
I actually really love that Oda did that. That Magellan is not completely invincible physically.
I could imagine a doku technique where Magellan creates a venom wall or dome made with his ultimate venom demon!
Love the name, design, and personality. Magellan ftw
I want chopper to make his Amiudake soup for Magellan; I bet he’d love it (a little spicy!)
How bout when Kuma utterly decimated Luffy and the Crew that's 5..
The thing with kuma is that he obviously didn't want to kill them. Watch tekking's discussion about kuma and you'll understand
kuma was actually saving them from kizaru in that situation, although if you count kizaru by himself he could have totally decimated the crew if kuma didnt show up
Kuma, Kizaru, and the Px's pre-time skip
I would love to see a Luffy vs Magellan rematch someday. I personally think at this point Luffy would win but still barely and that's counting in he has some of the highest poison resistance in the story. Only people beating him that I can think of is Magellan a dude who litteraly eats poison as his main diet, Caesar a dude who can become poison, Raijin a chick who drinks poison smoothies, and fucking Kaido because he's Kaido
27:52
The sound of true fear
Off the top of my head, I believe Venom had a toxic bite when he was bonded to Mac Gargan (aka. the scorpion) but I'm not entirely sure.
While I have never heard of Venom using actual venom/poison against his foes, there is a "antivenom" character who has the ability to cleanse any and all abnormalities with a body. That includes everything from a disease or foreign infection, to even "fixing" the mutant gene! Which means he can remove any mutant's powers were he to get a jump on them and hold them down for a few moments.
And obligatory "Venom is the symbiote/black suit. He is a member of an alien hive mind like the Borg. Antivenom is an entirely different variation on that species like Carnage is."
Tekking’s editing is so Good!!
It’s because he rarely cuts in his videos.
Really looking forward to that Geography Is Everything on Impel Down.
Mr. 3 built a wall against Magellan. Hmm, I'll vote for Mr 3 next time.
He didn‘t build it, he summoned it. That‘s much more awesome.
also: Mr. 3 would definitely be an upgrade.
@@r4nd0mguy99 Despite not having any political knowlage.
Yes! Magellan is one of my top 20 favorite characters!
Hope we see him again, one of my favorite characters. Just the way he took out Blackbeard.
"I looked up different poisons" Tekking with that what I'm imaging your search history looks like I will be shocked if your not on a list.
You forgot to talk about why he has diarrhea, it's one of the funnier parts of his character. The reason why that is
PLEASE MAKE A FULL VIDEO ON ALL OF LUFFY’S DEFEATS (physical and mental) AND HOW IT CHANGES LUFFY!
Hey tekking what do you think about Blackbeard having some relation to locks ? His Birthday is the only Thing that happened 40 years ago that i found. Except for the shaky/Garp, whitebeard/weevils mom and the bigmom/Kaido thingies. I think it would be a huge coincidence if it had nothing to do with locks.
Who is locks?
@@_bakz_3682 he means Rocks
I would love to see you react to the dub, Ghost Stories. It´s pretty fitting for this time of year!
Thanks for a great channel :)
As much as I love the crew, I am really hoping for another solo Luffy arc. I am talking at least a 30 episode/60 chapter arc of only Luffy, maybe Zoro tags a long at max.
Lil boomer totally agree every luffy arch has been my favorite arch from one piece
Luffy and zoro are the best pairing, brings back to the begining of the series with all the troubles they caused.
@@glcsander they were only the two of them for like 1 chapter (not even that) ....
I think they should give a solo arc to chopper cuz he wasnt the focus of an arc for yearssssss
Not downplaying how great a Luffy and Zoro arc would be but I'd really enjoy an Usopp and Luffy arc. It'd be continually hilarious, always great action with Luffy, and maybe some interesting Observation Haki development with Usopp. Elbaph comes to mind as a possible location for this
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay this is the first vid I’ve seen as soon as it has been uploaded
Magellan the most underrated
I really like your shirt man. Looks like a nice material.
Also great video man I get all my one piece info from you or the manga.
I also wanted to thank you for making videos you helped me through a rough patch about a year and a half ago when I was going through a deep depression and watching your videos helped me smile and laugh and made my days a little brighter.
Tekking needs to read monster musume then he'll get rid of his fear of wasps
I always saw Magellan as a stamina fighter. he's not the strongest or the most skilled, like most Admirals or hiring in Pirates. He is just literally lethal. He can fight a bit sloppy he just needs to wear you down until his poison debilitates you.
so he doesn't need to train with a sword, he doesn't have Marksmanship. He is just all out endurance.
That Magellan picture is cursed all of us will now have diarrhea!!!! NOOOO!
I've wondered if Oda chose the name for Magellan randomly, he thought is was cool, or theres a reason for it. Magellan was the first person to circumnavigate the world. His conversation with Doflamingo may be a precurson to him becoming a Pirate himself. His powers along with Doflamingo's being used in conjunction would be absolutely frightening! Especially if his powers were awakened.
So hes like Fugo from part 5 of jojo's bizarre adventure
The way you described Magellan's attacks sounded just like the basic description for byakuyas bankai where the user doesnt even have to move a muscle and the opponent will drop dead before them
So Magelan doesnt use haki or at least we havent seen him use haki. What would happen if Magelan was somewhere he could freely use his Red Demon Poison Death thing and also be completely shrouded by armament haki and have not Katakuri level of observation but at least a reliable amount. Do you think he could beat like a Yonko or an Admiral?
TheDarkMaster depends if they think he’s fodder 1 shot
Definitely
It was actually stated that Magellan (one of the poison) he uses is a neurotoxin.
Yeah no haki wouldn't protect him very well, remember in punk hazzard after luffy blasted Ceasar his hand still turned to stone for a bit...
Anime filler.
It's 1.42am here in SV and I just happened to catch this upload. Lit
Can you imagine a beyond scared straight program that would take you to impel down I would never commit a crime lol.
Watching this reminded me that the Venom movie comes out this week. Thanks Tekking!
You too? I have that wasp phobia, too. I don't know why. I've never been stung by one. Or anything.
Wasps just look evil. Those things just emanate EVIL. I see one and if it's within arms reach I freak out.
The cringe cringe no mi has a confirmed natural weakness...
Mushi mushi no mi model wasp!
i just always think they are gonna lay their eggs in me because according to animalogic they do lay their eggs in some insects
My dad thinks they are creepy with their dangling legs
I say Magellan is mid-high yonko commander level with haki and his motivation after the escapes.
I feel like if Shiryu and Magellan worked together they would beat one admiral
No, Marvels Venom has no poison based abilities. He's more or less just a brawler with additional tricks. Think Spiderman with limited Dark Shadow quirk.
The Venom is just a naming pattern among most of the symbiots. If I recall there are ones called Poison and Anit-Venom.
Yeah, but most are called random bad things like Riot,Scream,Carnage.....
The venom symbiote is an alien. It has the ability to take characteristics of the characters it binds with.. That's why he can shoot webs because it bound with Spiderman. And why he's crazy because he first bound to Deadpool.. But it's not out of the question that venom binds with someone that does have some sort of venom and could potentially retain that ability.
Greycat R venom is not actually venom, no poison based abilities it’s just that when Eddie brick got the symbiote he says “we’re poison to peter Parker and Spider-Man that’s why we call ourselves venom” more of a name ting
Brock😂
Imagine if he haki up his poison
I *really, really, really* wanna imagine how strong a poison Logia would be, tho.
Magellan's One Piece Treasure Cruise character is fun, he inflicts damage similar to Toxic in pokemon that doubles every turn and cuts the enemy's health on top of that, so it's literally the "Stand there and watch the enemy die" ability
Shillew Of The Rain Discussion Please..
Shiryu?
@@warlockofthebuttkraken4960 You can name him Shillew too.
By my count 6 times.
-2 times with crocodile
-1 with Alkiji
-1 with Kuma
-1 with Magelin
-And the death of ace could be considered as well, since luffy was shot
Yeah okay guess I'll cringe myself to sleep at 3:45am.
you gotta realize like all of the level 6 prisoners would be considered part of the supernovas if they got out and continued to be pirates so magellan fought like 10-30 200million+ prisioners
