I wouldn't say he's mentally a tank because surely he's lost the spark he had in the flashback. From optimist to nihilist. The world broke him mentally.
Kaido wanted to be the next joyboy, and is now sad that he isn't. However, he's waiting in Wano to find the next joyboy. He figures that the person who can best him must be the holder of the title. It's why he respects strength so much and wants to be bested in noble combat since finding the true joyboy is his only purpose left. So much from such a small flashback. Oda is good.
Waiting in Wano to find the next joyboy makes sense, yet do you think Kaido has truly accepted his place? I could see him having something set up so he's rescued last minute, once it's clear someone would have killed him & therefore is joyboy, only to then usurp them.
I think he found out that only D can be JoyBoy, but Kaido is not D. Edit: we do not know if kaido D or not, but i think it will be rly cool, if he is not, like he thought that he is chosen one, but then found out that he have no chances to became one cuz he just born without D)
Luffy is destined without knowing it, and Kaido thought he was destined but can’t do anything about it Kaido thought he was destined to do something great but somewhere along the line, he figured he wasn’t the person. He’s now waiting in Wano and is trying to create a world of mayhem to force the next Joyboy into Wano. Luffy probably carries the Will of Joyboy. Kaido wants to see what qualities he’s missing from the real “Joyboy”. He wants to fight destiny and see if it can change. He probably told Luffy “he’s not Joyboy” because there’s a quality Luffy has not displayed in the fight, YET. This is PERFECT, because it’s the exact opposite of Luffy. Luffy doesn’t care if he’s destined or not. Kaido seems to care a lot. Luffy will humble him 🙏🔥
I agree but I think it's more of a situation where your path is paved for you, but you have to be the one to push through it. I think everyone has their set path, and many may have it set on the pirate king, but they weren't strong enough. Mentally. Which is what makes Luffy different. I assume when Kaido said "you couldn't be Joyboy either," it's because Kaido was set for that path but had been crushed mentally from failure. That would also explain why he frequently tries to crush the will of his enemies.
I feel like the story with Kaido and his statement about being the only one able to change the world is super significant. In my opinion, Kaido is the dragon in a fairytale that must be slain for the story to progress. Except hes self-aware that he must be slain. So hes waiting for the person that is going to be able to do so, so that the new era can begin. That's why he was so excited for his fight against Oden and killed the old lady for interrupting their battle. Kaido has been waiting to die bc for some reason, his defeat signals the end of the world as we know it. So in that sense, he definitely is the only person that can change the world. Kaido has been defeated several times before and has probably come close to being defeated many times as well (ex: Oden). And every single time it hasnt led to a new era. If we operate on the idea that JoyBoy is a title that is passed down and Luffy is Joyboy, then that explains most of this. Joybot is destined to change the world and multiple people have shown themselves to be strong and capable of bearing that title, like Oden. Kaido is destined to be defeated by Joyboy and has been awaiting his fate and is frustrated that it hasn't come about yet. He has lamented on multiple occasions that he is tired of this boring world and wants to start a great war. Maybe he learned about the history of the world the same way that Oden and Roger did (not to the same degree) and knows that the throne wars for the Pirate King will begin soon after his defeat. That would be the "greatest war this world has ever seen" as Kaido put it. Just my personal take on what could happen
What if Nika was a Lunarian and the Joy Boy of his era? Fits with him being the "Sun God" if he had fire on his back like King. Plus it seems like the title jumps between the different races in the world, since the Joy Boy they always refer to seems to be a giant based on the huge straw hat.
Before many think that Sun Good Nika is a Shandian due to the weapon but after learning more about Lunarian. It is more fitting the image of sun good nika with their gratis that can create a flame on their back.
What's crazy about this arc and Kaido being the main antagonist is that "kai" means time ⏲️ "do" means soil also known and land put them together kaido means opening which means "time" for the "land" to "open" the land of wano has been closed but its time for them to open the land and that happens after defeating kaido
It makes sense that Kaido may have been similar to Luffy and got captured when he went against the WG. At some point, he must have come to realize that he didn't have enough strength to challenge the world, which changed his outlook to his current "might is right" thing with the Beast Pirates. Heck, his repeated failure to change the status quo may what ultimately led to his alcoholism.
Sanji has Lunarian DNA. The fact that Judge and Queen were under Vega Punk, while MADS was active on Punk Hazard, that would have given Judge at the least the opportunity to have access. Judge's specific field of science was more the Genetics. If some how that is a part of the "super soldiers" they have. The genetics have been brought out in Sanji because he's been on the brink of death, again and again, he had to survive.
Yes! Feels good to see someone saying this! The timeline points to MADS, and sequentially Judge, getting their hands on King’s lineage factor. Especially when they’re on PH in the flashback, it’s a parallel to Momo receiving Kaido’s lineage factor on PH. Sanji’s new powers also parallel King’s ability to switch between super speed and fire, which may hint toward how Sanji will fight in the future so he doesn’t pass out. Even in the event King is out for a while, we might learn more about the Lunarians through Sanji in this headcanon
This is a really good point and I agree. I was also thinking that maybe Sanji's Bloodline Elements changed bc he was around King and fought him while in the raid suit. So he might've misattributed the shift in his body to the Raid Suit, when it was really just his Lunarian DNA reacting to King. I've just always thought that it wouldnt make a lot of sense for Germa to keep messing with Sanji by forcing his Bloodline Elements to change. They themselves admitted that they werent going to have anything to do with him. Also: if Germa and Judge had the tech available to change the Bloodline Elements they would've done it when Sanji was still a kid. The ability for epigenetic factors to affect whether Sanjis DNA could change also explains one other thing. The metal mask that Sanji was forced to wear as a child. I had always been confused by that mask and didnt understand what sort of purpose it served. But, it Judge knew that there was a chance that certain environmental factors could change Sanjis genetic makeup, he would have taken countermeasures. Sanji can move at high speeds and become invisible. So he could've taken revenge on Judge if his DNA had changed while he was a child. However, by keeping that strong metal mask on (Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are shown to have been unable to break it even with their exoskeletons) then Sanji would still be visible.
Conquerors haki theory: it only manifests in people with immensely strong ambition because it only helps those worthy of its power, meaning that it's not only semi-sentient but its mission is to help its users fulfill their ambitions
With the latest chapter I made up this theory that Kaido was abandoned/sold by Rocks before the incident at God Valley, (maybe even) because he was too weak...it would explain his abandonment issues like going on about the pirates eventually betraying the samurai. Also going further back into earlier Wano it would explain the dynamic between Big Mom and Kaido. Kaido thinks his crew betrayed him and Big Mom likely wasn't part of the abandonment and was sad at the time for losing essentially her little "brother" but she was always mean to him so Kaido didn't know. That's why Big Mom mostly talked reminiscently about the old times right from the start of their current interactions while Kaido called her "old hag" and *really* didn't want her to come to Wano but when they met it took only one night of drinking together to get on the same page again, I'd assume Big Mom spilled the beans that he was very dear to her and with both being drunk Kaido eats it up and both reconciled while drunk-wheeping or something like that...it always seemed strange to me how they made peace so fast so I'm looking for a reasn for a while. Kaido telling King "I sure won't abandon you" kinda sparked all this for me. And the abandonment issues go further, he seems to genuinely care for his top commander and doesn't want to lose them...the first time he lost a top commander (Joker) he cryed his eyes out over him having been too weak, then there was the moment when he protected Jack because he wouldn't let such a loyal subordinate die in front of him. Now all the big fights have ended and *we haven't seen Kaido reacting to it yet* so my prediction is that when we flash back to the roof we'll see Kaido noticing with his observation haki (and by seeing Queen fly away) that all of his commanders and top commanders have been taken out, and he starts to cry. Luffy who sees him like that for the first time asks what's wrong with him and cue the long awaited Kaido flashback (maybe Act 4 is the flashback and Act 5 is the grand finale) I don't expect most of it to come true, even though I'd love it, but at least some points I hope I got right
I can't wait for the flashback that is focused on Kaido specifically. I think a lot of questions will be answered when we find out what happened to Yamatos mother.
From what I've saw so far, the moment you eat df you get basic understanding of how it works, think CP9. So when Kaido ate his he could escape because he right away knew how to use flame clouds. It' s additional stuff that you have learn. Since Momo ate arteficial fruit, and a failed one at that, maybe he was not granted the knowlege. Also think, what was supposed to happen to a small girl so she would discover that she can create kibi dangos from her cheeks. We know that it can't be made by force.
Is it possible that when King was being tortured at punk hazard that Queen was the one torturing him or involved in some way which is why King hates him?
The idea that Whitebeard switched sides during God Valley and helped Roger and Garp beat the Rocks crew makes perfect sense. Would explain why Kaido wanted to go to Marineford and be the one to kill Whitebeard. Probably why he is so bitter about Whitebeard having an epic death.
“This is barry, is he is a brick, incase you havent caught up to the plot by now.” Applying that same sentence to one piece can be kinda fun lol This is chopper, hes a human reindeer, incase you havent caught up to the plot by now
I just noticed the massive upgrade on the mic your using. Good stuff, but you might want to position it a bit closer to make full use of the sm87b's killler sound. You want it to get pretty dang close
@@khalidpapa6299 Yeah your right, but i wouldn't be too surprised if its there (or not there) next chapter... Lots of manga artists over exaggerate damage panels emphasize the moment ... Like when luffy was hit with katakuris mole it looked so bad or some of kubo's paneling in bleach (TYBW arc has a few like that)
Well look at it with this perspective: Sanji destroyed the left arm of Queen so defeats the left arm of Kaido Zoro cut the right arm of King so defeats the right arm of Kaido Pretty pretty clever by oda doing this little things that fans LOVE, little details that make this series so much better!
@@danleft5806 To be fair, Queen already had a prosthetic left arm. If King actually got his right arm cut off(together with his right wing and sword), it would be too brutal for Oda.
One theory I have for the Lunarians, at least the state they're in nowadays, relates to Warhammer Fantasy. There was this race called the "Sky Titans" who were also sometimes referred to as gods for their sheer size and strength. Problem is, there was another species, ogres, that were pushed into their kingdom by a massive cataclysm in their own homeland. They'd go on to annihilate the Sky Titans either outright or enslave them as a prestige thing. Their only living descendants during the present of Warhammer Fantasy (if you ignore Endtimes) are giants, which are anywhere from 1/4th to 1/2 the size of the originals and much, MUCH dumber because of inbreeding due to the non-existent population. It'd be interesting if King is either not fully Lunarian, in that there's some human admixture in there given how many generations it's been since the near-millennia they were initially purged, or that the whole "can survive anything" thing Lunarians have also applies to nigh non-existent population numbers. They were a fair bit more "godlike" before, but genetic bottlenecking due to circumstances has kind of neutered their abilities to the point where they live as long as humans. Swap out the Warhammer cataclysm with whatever happened during the void century, the monstrous hordes of the Ogre Kingdoms with the emergent World Government, and even the hunting/capture of the survivors across both settings. Not saying it's concrete, that's WAY too much of a stretch. But I'm just seeing some potential parallels.
Wyper also has a tattoo around his left eye like King and maybe there is some connection between Shandora. Makes a lot of sense if they did since they look so similar.
I love watching old tekking videos because you get to see him state a theory that turns out to be somewhat true later on in the story (the seraphims have lunarian DNA)
Really cool how zoro cut off kings right hand while is a previous chapter we saw sanji break off queens left. The right and left hand of the pirate king love it
Fun fact. King's name is アルベル, Aruberu, which is the same name as the blue-haired woman from the Lovely Land Arc (episode 326). This woman's official English name is Arbell.
24:10 The event you might be referring to is the Lake Toba super eruption in Indonesia 74,000 years ago. It's thought that the volcanic winter reduced the human population. However, there's some new evidence that suggests that humans at the time did well during the volcanic winters and the time frame between volcanic eruption and human population decrease might not be closely linked together.
Crazy Theory: The Lunarians were the pacifist gods, but every clan/family developed a different ability, and King's clan was just the last clan alive during the extermination of the void century, and that's why no one remembers any other ability existing. AND the "Sun gods" were the agressive gods that took the opportunity to take down the Lunarians when they saw the ambition of men, so they tought men their own ability to make it easier for them to take down the Lunarians. But once humans eliminated the Lunarians they used the power that the sun gods gave them to eliminate them too. So.... The Lunarians are the source for the Devil fruit abilities( King's clan is the fire based fruits ) and the Sun gods had the Haki.
Well as I said, Haki in "trainable" so... someone teach him... And I was trying to imply that fruit power was extracted from Lunarians the way VegaPunk made Momo's Dragon fruit. That could even explain why they are called Devil fruits, because of the experiments and torture that the Lunarians had to suffer to make them.
I mean Sanji could very well be based on Lunarian DNA? Maybe Judge tried to implement it in all of his children but kinda how the other modification didn´t bloom in Sanji instead part of the lunarian powers did. That could explain how he was a super-human from the getgo even tho he didn´t train train like 90% of his life as Luffy and Zorro did. (Zeff obviously did train him but i think the focus was on cooking right?)
Funny af as usual fam. Also that oil painting would actually be cool and funny af. Seeing the internet clapping, twitter fan art war starting King just chilling in the studio would be lit
The main reason why the SM7B is probably not a good fit for you, is because it's a dynamic mic, which means you need it pretty close to your mouth and why you always see people use it with a mic arm (so they can position the mic). However, you tend to move around a lot in your videos, so we tend to hear the audio going in and out. Since you're recording in a basement, I imagine you have pretty good sound proofing so there's not much benefit to using dynamic actually. If you want clip guard, there are other ways to do that with condeser mic. I mean ... SM7B does look cool ... but not when you move around so much.
King,s tattooed is a flower pattern or leaf branches... And it fits with his Lunarian races, coz Lunarian also is a type of flowers,, which means moon shaped...and can live in any temperatures
Please commission the beautiful King painting! You can put it next to the door, instead of the wall scroll, so that you don’t have to take down the Devil’s Luck Pirates.
Oil painting idea: Tekking101 as a young noble who is reading A Pirate Tales: One Piece book. His personal quaters is decorated with tapestry from his favourite works. With a brick laying on one pillow.
@@jixseyloportacion9177 Nah dude i don't think that should work on already grown up men. It's like giving giants DNA to adults and he couldn't do it. Maybe in clones Grema-like it's possible tho. Cloned cyber-soldiers with powers from lunarians, minks, fishmen or other powerful races maybe with proper artificial devil fruits... close to what Queen is? That should do the trick to replace warlords ;)
If I had money, I would give it to Tekking to buy that giant painting. I'd also love to see the artist's reaction to the commission, especially if they don't watch One Piece
I feel like post wano the straw hats will already be a pirate king worthy crew, back when luffy faced katakuri he basically lost and the rest of the crew would have ZERO chance against him but now the crew is blitzing through the beast pirate commanders with relative ease... not even that much time has passed... like a month or 2 😂
@@dimitri.c I second this. Zoro fight was decently length but everyone else was short. Plus NONE of the opponents fruits were awakened so there was no difficulty. I feel like Oda just wanted to finish my main sub fights just before the holidays.... plus the remaining weak Strawhats showed no growth. Only reinforced determination but that's it.
@@ElusivEnigma That's making a lot of assumptions, considering we know next to nothing about what a Zoan's awakening is. We've seen the guards, but we don't know that all Zoans look like that awakened, or even what it actually means.
@@ElusivEnigma agree with you, I think only Robin showed some growth, Franky vs Sasaki was disappointing. Jimbei's fight was just a confirmation of his strength. I was hyped after 1034 to see what Queen will do but he ends up losing. I think Oda had difficulty balancing between the Supernova and the Strawhats.
@@dimitri.c Wdym sanji has the best char growth since forever and zoro has his similar inner fight to overcome enma difficulty and this is the largest fight they hav had based on pages even for op fights standards tbh too much reactionary in this fandom lol
HC fun Fact: Berry is actually a Lunarian, his wings are white because he is an albino Lunarian. And that's the only reason they were known as gods, because he was their leader.
Tekking, lower the gain, get the mic closer and use a compressor. You're so far away for this microphone you'll either clip like today or pick up room noise. Get that mic closer. adjust the gain lower and use a compressor on the input :)
Based on their parley, I'd say it's more likely king becomes a Strawhat. Simple reason is he followed Kaido because he was strong and wouldn't sell him out. He's gonna see how the other Straw hats look at their captain and how luffy already declared war on the government for Robin. All reasons for king to join. Maybe even an end panel with kaido saying " go king"
ZORO slices off the Right hand of KING SANJI slices off the Left hand of QUEEN Which symbolizes Zoro and Sanji being Luffy's Right and left hand men cutting of Kaido's Right and left hand men (King and Queen).. got his beautiful stuff from another review i saw, thought it was worth mentioning... 😊👌
If 2021 started with chapter 1000, and ends on 1035, then that means we missed 17 weeks worth of chapters, which makes me sad , but also happy cause it prolongs the journey, in a good way
Seems like the yonko after rocks all just had a similar situation either pre or post the rocks crew where they find people they can trust as thier right hand men with how whitebeard wanted a family. Kaido has loyal fighters big mom made an army of blood children and political alliances while shanks it's easy to see his crew is loyal. Honestly makes me think rocks was like a Blackbeard and Luffy combo with both the evil motives and charisma to get future kinga haki users on his side
So the reason that King wears a Gimp suit is because he was tortured on a daily basis by the world government. Finally the circle closes. Btw, Lunarians could be immortal. They grow up like humans until the just stop ageing alltogether, beating even death. (unless killed ofc) And King might be the last one left, maybe the last child of his race, just kept for testing. I also feel like the Lunarian were a lot like the Romans, Imperialist's ruling over the world and enslaving all other races. Which would explain the fear of the world government towards them. (maybe they originally came from space too, which makes research even more important) I mean, they could survive in space after all.
Hey, love the new mic but can you center the audio a bit more during the talking head sections. Listening on headphones hearing your voice louder in one ear, and is a bit weird to hear
I always thought that haki was a technique to manifest your will to physical form more over than a power system. And CoC is just a different fuel to that technique which makes it behave differently. Because not all.people are born with the will to conquer.
I always interpreted conqueror's haki as exerting your willpower. While armament and observation enhance your own body/abilities, conquerors exerts your will onto others. Basically, you can will things to happen. Edit: Oh you said that lmao
No, the volcano you mentioned, I presume it was Ancient Krakatau. A giant pre historic volcano, sized as big as Tazmania, in the middle of Sundaland (now Indonesia), 18.000 years ago. The eruption is causing Ice Age because the ashes floated in the sky and blocked the sun light. After the gletser ice melted, the surrounding of the mountain covered by water. It became the Sunda Strait. Meanwhile the Krakatau it's self became an island volcano. It erupted once again in 1880s, followed by Tambora Mountain in Little Sunda. Both of their eruptions caused a 4 years ice aged in northern world.
Couple issues with things you said recently... 1) Kaido had JUST got the devil fruit so he would've still been a damn goldfish. I doubt he would've evolved to dragon form just yet. Also he probably escaped God Valley in his fish form. 2) King may be down at the moment but it's not over. Basically because Oda didn't put up that box that says "Winner: Zoro" like he did for Sanji. Also Zoro didn't say "Sunacchi" yet. They wouldn't have bothered with that but in the backstory if he wasn't going to need to use that
I don't know what you changed Tekking but the microphone is picking up a lot of crackling in the background? I listen on high end planar headphones and audio is coming out of like 80% left channel and 20% right channel (microphone placement). The crackling kicks in on the mid range of your voice or when you're basically peaking the microphone. When you face the wall and raise your voice there is no crackling from I'd assume peaking. There is about 10 million things that could be wrong from cables to audio interface or post processing. I think thats a shure sm7b? Should have a few options. If you hear what i'm hearing maybe try disabling mid range boost or placing the microphone a bit further from your face and listen yourself. I do think that this is an insane chapter and I think that if Zoro doesn't pass out after this fight if he were to go to the rooftop and meet Kaido and he see's Zoro alive and he finds out what happened to King from a "human", he'd go all out regardless of anyone's strength and just kill everyone.
Please please please get the oil painting!!!!!! Im an art nerd and it would be equal parts admirable and hilarious to have a painting like that of King(or reallyany character). You have my vote!!!!
Hey, Tekking! If willing, can you just have a One Piece arc review series if you haven't already. They'd essentially be videos reviewing each arc as a whole.
imagine there is a frame in upcoming arcs where Luffy is standing with Zoro and Sanji on the side and then there's King, Marco and Katakuri standing right behind them.....
That would be amazing but I don't think King will be a friend of the Strawhats soon. I can see that happening only if Kaido dies and tells him to support Luffy.
It does not look like King lost an arm, the burst of the impact is just drawn over his forearm. he is still holding the sword. I bet you he has both his arms intact!
Considering that queen was a scientist that worked with vegapunk it would explain why the two of them don't get along,would not surprise me if some of the poisons and diseases queen makes were used on king as part of the torture.
I wish king had met dragon instead of kaido dragons the one who will truly change the world and bring the government to justice for their crimes against the lunarians
About the oil painting, if someone that doesn't know one piece, and come into your studio, they'll think that King is the main protagonist of the anime :P
the symbolism of left and right eyes have been in this story from the beginning. almost every chapter certain characters say certain things when only their left eye is showing like luffy. most people who have bad intentions usually have their right eye covered or some scar or variation.
The painting can only be bought if you get about 5 spotlights for it to truly show it off in its full glory
It needs a velvet rope in front of it too
Kaido has been through a lot, he’s a tank not just physically but mentally too. Kaido and King’s meeting resembles Luffy and Zoro, just a tad darker
That’s a pretty cool take on their meeting. I would love to see more about King’s backstory

It's why he respects strength so much and wants to be bested in noble combat since finding the true joyboy is his only purpose left. So much from such a small flashback. Oda is good.
I feel like this part is easy to understand but people keep looking over it or coming up with something else
If the power of the one piece is literally the ability to throw the biggest party in the world he might be dissapointed
Waiting in Wano to find the next joyboy makes sense, yet do you think Kaido has truly accepted his place? I could see him having something set up so he's rescued last minute, once it's clear someone would have killed him & therefore is joyboy, only to then usurp them.

The idea of a big renaissance painting of King hanging up on your wall sounds MAJESTIC
Please do that.
King "Not being betrayed is really important to the beast pirates" Also King "You saw my face, time to die"to the beast pirates
That scene reminds me of the episode where the chefs saw Katakuri's face, before they were killed.
What if Nika was a Lunarian and the Joy Boy of his era? Fits with him being the "Sun God" if he had fire on his back like King. Plus it seems like the title jumps between the different races in the world, since the Joy Boy they always refer to seems to be a giant based on the huge straw hat.

The King huge painting idea sounds fun please do it!
It makes sense that Kaido may have been similar to Luffy and got captured when he went against the WG. At some point, he must have come to realize that he didn't have enough strength to challenge the world, which changed his outlook to his current "might is right" thing with the Beast Pirates. Heck, his repeated failure to change the status quo may what ultimately led to his alcoholism.
Sanji has Lunarian DNA.
The fact that Judge and Queen were under Vega Punk, while MADS was active on Punk Hazard, that would have given Judge at the least the opportunity to have access. Judge's specific field of science was more the Genetics. If some how that is a part of the "super soldiers" they have. The genetics have been brought out in Sanji because he's been on the brink of death, again and again, he had to survive.
Also‚ Queen straight up asked if Sanji was a Lunarian‚ seeing him wield fire. And he is currently almost impervious to damage‚ like a Lunarian.
Yes! Feels good to see someone saying this! The timeline points to MADS, and sequentially Judge, getting their hands on King’s lineage factor. Especially when they’re on PH in the flashback, it’s a parallel to Momo receiving Kaido’s lineage factor on PH. Sanji’s new powers also parallel King’s ability to switch between super speed and fire, which may hint toward how Sanji will fight in the future so he doesn’t pass out. Even in the event King is out for a while, we might learn more about the Lunarians through Sanji in this headcanon
This is a really good point and I agree.
I was also thinking that maybe Sanji's Bloodline Elements changed bc he was around King and fought him while in the raid suit. So he might've misattributed the shift in his body to the Raid Suit, when it was really just his Lunarian DNA reacting to King.
I've just always thought that it wouldnt make a lot of sense for Germa to keep messing with Sanji by forcing his Bloodline Elements to change. They themselves admitted that they werent going to have anything to do with him. Also: if Germa and Judge had the tech available to change the Bloodline Elements they would've done it when Sanji was still a kid.
The ability for epigenetic factors to affect whether Sanjis DNA could change also explains one other thing. The metal mask that Sanji was forced to wear as a child.
I had always been confused by that mask and didnt understand what sort of purpose it served. But, it Judge knew that there was a chance that certain environmental factors could change Sanjis genetic makeup, he would have taken countermeasures.
Sanji can move at high speeds and become invisible. So he could've taken revenge on Judge if his DNA had changed while he was a child. However, by keeping that strong metal mask on (Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are shown to have been unable to break it even with their exoskeletons) then Sanji would still be visible.
Great idea, would love to see king in a big oil painting
Touche
Conquerors haki theory: it only manifests in people with immensely strong ambition because it only helps those worthy of its power, meaning that it's not only semi-sentient but its mission is to help its users fulfill their ambitions
With the latest chapter I made up this theory that Kaido was abandoned/sold by Rocks before the incident at God Valley, (maybe even) because he was too weak...it would explain his abandonment issues like going on about the pirates eventually betraying the samurai. Also going further back into earlier Wano it would explain the dynamic between Big Mom and Kaido. Kaido thinks his crew betrayed him and Big Mom likely wasn't part of the abandonment and was sad at the time for losing essentially her little "brother" but she was always mean to him so Kaido didn't know.
That's why Big Mom mostly talked reminiscently about the old times right from the start of their current interactions while Kaido called her "old hag" and *really* didn't want her to come to Wano but when they met it took only one night of drinking together to get on the same page again, I'd assume Big Mom spilled the beans that he was very dear to her and with both being drunk Kaido eats it up and both reconciled while drunk-wheeping or something like that...it always seemed strange to me how they made peace so fast so I'm looking for a reasn for a while.
Kaido telling King "I sure won't abandon you" kinda sparked all this for me.
And the abandonment issues go further, he seems to genuinely care for his top commander and doesn't want to lose them...the first time he lost a top commander (Joker) he cryed his eyes out over him having been too weak, then there was the moment when he protected Jack because he wouldn't let such a loyal subordinate die in front of him.
Now all the big fights have ended and *we haven't seen Kaido reacting to it yet* so my prediction is that when we flash back to the roof we'll see Kaido noticing with his observation haki (and by seeing Queen fly away) that all of his commanders and top commanders have been taken out, and he starts to cry. Luffy who sees him like that for the first time asks what's wrong with him and cue the long awaited Kaido flashback (maybe Act 4 is the flashback and Act 5 is the grand finale)
I don't expect most of it to come true, even though I'd love it, but at least some points I hope I got right
Does anyone else want a Germa Cover Story video from Tekking
I would actually love that
"Why king so hot?"
Well, he got whole lunarian race to repopulate so.......
I can't wait for the flashback that is focused on Kaido specifically. I think a lot of questions will be answered when we find out what happened to Yamatos mother.
Though we also might not learn about Yamato's mother at all. If we get a Senõr Pink-like senario though I'm all in.
Idea for that oil painting: have the arm rests of the chair be Zoro's swords or even have them sticking out the back of it like the Iron Throne
If he does the painting there would be alot of opportunities for easter eggs omg
From what I've saw so far, the moment you eat df you get basic understanding of how it works, think CP9. So when Kaido ate his he could escape because he right away knew how to use flame clouds. It' s additional stuff that you have learn. Since Momo ate arteficial fruit, and a failed one at that, maybe he was not granted the knowlege. Also think, what was supposed to happen to a small girl so she would discover that she can create kibi dangos from her cheeks. We know that it can't be made by force.
Is it possible that when King was being tortured at punk hazard that Queen was the one torturing him or involved in some way which is why King hates him?
Mayhaps
Not possible kaido wouldn't take queen in if that was the case
I doubt it was queen, but the hatred most likely steams from king knowing queen was on the island
The idea that Whitebeard switched sides during God Valley and helped Roger and Garp beat the Rocks crew makes perfect sense. Would explain why Kaido wanted to go to Marineford and be the one to kill Whitebeard. Probably why he is so bitter about Whitebeard having an epic death.
Exactly what I thought, makes a lot of sense
“This is barry, is he is a brick, incase you havent caught up to the plot by now.”
Applying that same sentence to one piece can be kinda fun lol
This is chopper, hes a human reindeer, incase you havent caught up to the plot by now
This dude has changed a lot. Good to see you're alive tekking
I just noticed the massive upgrade on the mic your using. Good stuff, but you might want to position it a bit closer to make full use of the sm87b's killler sound. You want it to get pretty dang close
I don't think Zoro cut King's right arm, it couldve been just how the CoC aura was drawn in the manga.
agree, king def did no lose an arm
he did. look at the panel again, he looks like he got another joint after his elbow
@@khalidpapa6299 Yeah your right, but i wouldn't be too surprised if its there (or not there) next chapter... Lots of manga artists over exaggerate damage panels emphasize the moment ... Like when luffy was hit with katakuris mole it looked so bad or some of kubo's paneling in bleach (TYBW arc has a few like that)
Well look at it with this perspective:
Sanji destroyed the left arm of Queen so defeats the left arm of Kaido
Zoro cut the right arm of King so defeats the right arm of Kaido
Pretty pretty clever by oda doing this little things that fans LOVE, little details that make this series so much better!
@@danleft5806 To be fair, Queen already had a prosthetic left arm. If King actually got his right arm cut off(together with his right wing and sword), it would be too brutal for Oda.
One theory I have for the Lunarians, at least the state they're in nowadays, relates to Warhammer Fantasy.
There was this race called the "Sky Titans" who were also sometimes referred to as gods for their sheer size and strength. Problem is, there was another species, ogres, that were pushed into their kingdom by a massive cataclysm in their own homeland. They'd go on to annihilate the Sky Titans either outright or enslave them as a prestige thing. Their only living descendants during the present of Warhammer Fantasy (if you ignore Endtimes) are giants, which are anywhere from 1/4th to 1/2 the size of the originals and much, MUCH dumber because of inbreeding due to the non-existent population.
It'd be interesting if King is either not fully Lunarian, in that there's some human admixture in there given how many generations it's been since the near-millennia they were initially purged, or that the whole "can survive anything" thing Lunarians have also applies to nigh non-existent population numbers. They were a fair bit more "godlike" before, but genetic bottlenecking due to circumstances has kind of neutered their abilities to the point where they live as long as humans. Swap out the Warhammer cataclysm with whatever happened during the void century, the monstrous hordes of the Ogre Kingdoms with the emergent World Government, and even the hunting/capture of the survivors across both settings.
Not saying it's concrete, that's WAY too much of a stretch. But I'm just seeing some potential parallels.
30 minute video on a 1 page flashback?
Peak Tekking right here.
Wyper also has a tattoo around his left eye like King and maybe there is some connection between Shandora. Makes a lot of sense if they did since they look so similar.
I love watching old tekking videos because you get to see him state a theory that turns out to be somewhat true later on in the story (the seraphims have lunarian DNA)
Yes to the King painting!
Really cool how zoro cut off kings right hand while is a previous chapter we saw sanji break off queens left. The right and left hand of the pirate king love it
Fun fact. King's name is アルベル, Aruberu, which is the same name as the blue-haired woman from the Lovely Land Arc (episode 326). This woman's official English name is Arbell.
You should 100 percent get that oil painting. It would be such a flex.
24:10 The event you might be referring to is the Lake Toba super eruption in Indonesia 74,000 years ago. It's thought that the volcanic winter reduced the human population. However, there's some new evidence that suggests that humans at the time did well during the volcanic winters and the time frame between volcanic eruption and human population decrease might not be closely linked together.
Crazy Theory: The Lunarians were the pacifist gods, but every clan/family developed a different ability, and King's clan was just the last clan alive during the extermination of the void century, and that's why no one remembers any other ability existing. AND the "Sun gods" were the agressive gods that took the opportunity to take down the Lunarians when they saw the ambition of men, so they tought men their own ability to make it easier for them to take down the Lunarians. But once humans eliminated the Lunarians they used the power that the sun gods gave them to eliminate them too. So.... The Lunarians are the source for the Devil fruit abilities( King's clan is the fire based fruits ) and the Sun gods had the Haki.
But King had Haki, and how would that explain the Devil Fruits.
Well as I said, Haki in "trainable" so... someone teach him... And I was trying to imply that fruit power was extracted from Lunarians the way VegaPunk made Momo's Dragon fruit. That could even explain why they are called Devil fruits, because of the experiments and torture that the Lunarians had to suffer to make them.
I mean Sanji could very well be based on Lunarian DNA? Maybe Judge tried to implement it in all of his children but kinda how the other modification didn´t bloom in Sanji instead part of the lunarian powers did. That could explain how he was a super-human from the getgo even tho he didn´t train train like 90% of his life as Luffy and Zorro did. (Zeff obviously did train him but i think the focus was on cooking right?)
Funny af as usual fam. Also that oil painting would actually be cool and funny af. Seeing the internet clapping, twitter fan art war starting King just chilling in the studio would be lit
I have this eerie feeling that kaido will earn luffys respect but will be ultimately screwed moments later
12:00 I'm surprised Fuegoleon from Black Clover wasn't the one you brought up when it came to growing back limbs with fire XD
The main reason why the SM7B is probably not a good fit for you, is because it's a dynamic mic, which means you need it pretty close to your mouth and why you always see people use it with a mic arm (so they can position the mic). However, you tend to move around a lot in your videos, so we tend to hear the audio going in and out. Since you're recording in a basement, I imagine you have pretty good sound proofing so there's not much benefit to using dynamic actually. If you want clip guard, there are other ways to do that with condeser mic. I mean ... SM7B does look cool ... but not when you move around so much.
King,s tattooed is a flower pattern or leaf branches...
And it fits with his Lunarian races, coz Lunarian also is a type of flowers,, which means moon shaped...and can live in any temperatures
Please commission the beautiful King painting! You can put it next to the door, instead of the wall scroll, so that you don’t have to take down the Devil’s Luck Pirates.
Thank you for the plot update on Barry, I always forget!
Oil painting idea: Tekking101 as a young noble who is reading A Pirate Tales: One Piece book. His personal quaters is decorated with tapestry from his favourite works. With a brick laying on one pillow.
Legitimately asking, has anyone considered the possibility that Vegapunk's plan to replace the Warlords is with controllable Lunarian clones?
God damnit, I just finished the video.
Possible. Also, Smoker and other Vice Admirals infused with Lunarian DNA
@@jixseyloportacion9177 Nah dude i don't think that should work on already grown up men. It's like giving giants DNA to adults and he couldn't do it. Maybe in clones Grema-like it's possible tho. Cloned cyber-soldiers with powers from lunarians, minks, fishmen or other powerful races maybe with proper artificial devil fruits... close to what Queen is? That should do the trick to replace warlords ;)
If I had money, I would give it to Tekking to buy that giant painting. I'd also love to see the artist's reaction to the commission, especially if they don't watch One Piece
I wonder how King feels about the man claiming to change consistently trying to escape it on a daily basis, it must be tough
Crazy how Kaidos left hand and right hand lost their respected hands by the left and right hands of luffy
The audio is louder on the left side. I could only notice it at the beginning and when you shouted WANG ZHI at us
I feel like post wano the straw hats will already be a pirate king worthy crew, back when luffy faced katakuri he basically lost and the rest of the crew would have ZERO chance against him but now the crew is blitzing through the beast pirate commanders with relative ease... not even that much time has passed... like a month or 2 😂
Fights where way too short and it feels like the strawhats werent even tested to their limits… never felt any tension in onigashima…
@@dimitri.c I second this. Zoro fight was decently length but everyone else was short. Plus NONE of the opponents fruits were awakened so there was no difficulty. I feel like Oda just wanted to finish my main sub fights just before the holidays.... plus the remaining weak Strawhats showed no growth. Only reinforced determination but that's it.
@@ElusivEnigma That's making a lot of assumptions, considering we know next to nothing about what a Zoan's awakening is. We've seen the guards, but we don't know that all Zoans look like that awakened, or even what it actually means.
@@ElusivEnigma agree with you, I think only Robin showed some growth, Franky vs Sasaki was disappointing. Jimbei's fight was just a confirmation of his strength. I was hyped after 1034 to see what Queen will do but he ends up losing. I think Oda had difficulty balancing between the Supernova and the Strawhats.
@@dimitri.c Wdym sanji has the best char growth since forever and zoro has his similar inner fight to overcome enma difficulty and this is the largest fight they hav had based on pages even for op fights standards tbh too much reactionary in this fandom lol
I wonder if Queen was part of the staff at Punk Hazard when King was there before he defected, which is why King does not like him
HC fun Fact: Berry is actually a Lunarian, his wings are white because he is an albino Lunarian. And that's the only reason they were known as gods, because he was their leader.
If the fight with zoro isn't over, I think we're about to find out what 'adapt' meant and why the lunarians are so special
Yeah your mic sound is nice loud I like. It was really hard to hear you for several weeks until now. Thanks Matt.
Amazing video! For me, the microphone was fine, but others might experience it differently, as different people have different preferences.
Loving your new room. Looks so goooooood
Tekking, lower the gain, get the mic closer and use a compressor. You're so far away for this microphone you'll either clip like today or pick up room noise. Get that mic closer. adjust the gain lower and use a compressor on the input :)
King's a lunarian, so ofc his painting should be on the ceiling, looking down on us humans
Based on their parley, I'd say it's more likely king becomes a Strawhat. Simple reason is he followed Kaido because he was strong and wouldn't sell him out. He's gonna see how the other Straw hats look at their captain and how luffy already declared war on the government for Robin. All reasons for king to join. Maybe even an end panel with kaido saying " go king"
You have to be joking
@@muizmustaf2403 hopefully
the room upgrade is nice bro kudos , I'm probably late just getting back into one piece which you're my go to guy for breakdowns
ZORO slices off the Right hand of KING
SANJI slices off the Left hand of QUEEN
Which symbolizes Zoro and Sanji being Luffy's Right and left hand men cutting of Kaido's Right and left hand men (King and Queen).. got his beautiful stuff from another review i saw, thought it was worth mentioning... 😊👌
If 2021 started with chapter 1000, and ends on 1035, then that means we missed 17 weeks worth of chapters, which makes me sad , but also happy cause it prolongs the journey, in a good way
I like how your mind works.
Giant King oil painting does seems cool!
Yes to the painting, with kaido in the background
Seems like the yonko after rocks all just had a similar situation either pre or post the rocks crew where they find people they can trust as thier right hand men with how whitebeard wanted a family. Kaido has loyal fighters big mom made an army of blood children and political alliances while shanks it's easy to see his crew is loyal.
Honestly makes me think rocks was like a Blackbeard and Luffy combo with both the evil motives and charisma to get future kinga haki users on his side
In love with your background, so colorful!
So the reason that King wears a Gimp suit is because he was tortured on a daily basis by the world government. Finally the circle closes.
Btw, Lunarians could be immortal. They grow up like humans until the just stop ageing alltogether, beating even death. (unless killed ofc)
And King might be the last one left, maybe the last child of his race, just kept for testing.
I also feel like the Lunarian were a lot like the Romans, Imperialist's ruling over the world and enslaving all other races.
Which would explain the fear of the world government towards them. (maybe they originally came from space too, which makes research even more important) I mean, they could survive in space after all.
Hey, love the new mic but can you center the audio a bit more during the talking head sections. Listening on headphones hearing your voice louder in one ear, and is a bit weird to hear
I always thought that haki was a technique to manifest your will to physical form more over than a power system. And CoC is just a different fuel to that technique which makes it behave differently. Because not all.people are born with the will to conquer.
I was thinking that it’s like nen from hxh like everyone has a different CoC
Gets a huge handsome (sexy) portrait of King for the office....
Tekking: "haha... it's a great joke, right guys??"
**sweating**
I support your painting idea 200 percent.
When Wang is revealed I need a whole hour breakdown Tekking with everything you can piece together you've peaked my interest.
Yes do the king painting
Is there a few to contribute funds towards that giant king painting?
this is my first time watching one of your videos in a while and didn't notice your new set up, it looks awesome!!!
I always interpreted conqueror's haki as exerting your willpower. While armament and observation enhance your own body/abilities, conquerors exerts your will onto others. Basically, you can will things to happen.
Edit: Oh you said that lmao
No, the volcano you mentioned, I presume it was Ancient Krakatau. A giant pre historic volcano, sized as big as Tazmania, in the middle of Sundaland (now Indonesia), 18.000 years ago. The eruption is causing Ice Age because the ashes floated in the sky and blocked the sun light. After the gletser ice melted, the surrounding of the mountain covered by water. It became the Sunda Strait. Meanwhile the Krakatau it's self became an island volcano. It erupted once again in 1880s, followed by Tambora Mountain in Little Sunda. Both of their eruptions caused a 4 years ice aged in northern world.
Couple issues with things you said recently...
1) Kaido had JUST got the devil fruit so he would've still been a damn goldfish. I doubt he would've evolved to dragon form just yet. Also he probably escaped God Valley in his fish form.
2) King may be down at the moment but it's not over. Basically because Oda didn't put up that box that says "Winner: Zoro" like he did for Sanji. Also Zoro didn't say "Sunacchi" yet. They wouldn't have bothered with that but in the backstory if he wasn't going to need to use that
yes please. an oil painting of King would be the bestest
We need that portrait ! 😂😂🙏🏾
I don't know what you changed Tekking but the microphone is picking up a lot of crackling in the background? I listen on high end planar headphones and audio is coming out of like 80% left channel and 20% right channel (microphone placement). The crackling kicks in on the mid range of your voice or when you're basically peaking the microphone. When you face the wall and raise your voice there is no crackling from I'd assume peaking.
There is about 10 million things that could be wrong from cables to audio interface or post processing. I think thats a shure sm7b? Should have a few options. If you hear what i'm hearing maybe try disabling mid range boost or placing the microphone a bit further from your face and listen yourself.
I do think that this is an insane chapter and I think that if Zoro doesn't pass out after this fight if he were to go to the rooftop and meet Kaido and he see's Zoro alive and he finds out what happened to King from a "human", he'd go all out regardless of anyone's strength and just kill everyone.
Dragon being half-lunarien might give us insight into why Monkey D. Garp is so devoted Marine, even thou he doesn't care...
Hi tekking. Love your vids, keep it up!
dude your house is dope. love all the anime art!
Please please please get the oil painting!!!!!! Im an art nerd and it would be equal parts admirable and hilarious to have a painting like that of King(or reallyany character). You have my vote!!!!
Hey, Tekking! If willing, can you just have a One Piece arc review series if you haven't already. They'd essentially be videos reviewing each arc as a whole.
Tekking should open a One Piece classical art museum, with portraits of characters like King, Vivi, and Elizabello.
"On his proud back , there was no wound he got from running away ..."
Honestly I love the King painting idea
imagine there is a frame in upcoming arcs where Luffy is standing with Zoro and Sanji on the side and then there's King, Marco and Katakuri standing right behind them.....
That would be amazing but I don't think King will be a friend of the Strawhats soon. I can see that happening only if Kaido dies and tells him to support Luffy.
It does not look like King lost an arm, the burst of the impact is just drawn over his forearm. he is still holding the sword. I bet you he has both his arms intact!
Nah there is definitely some space in between. At least the one I read. On the colored version you could think so yea
Considering that queen was a scientist that worked with vegapunk it would explain why the two of them don't get along,would not surprise me if some of the poisons and diseases queen makes were used on king as part of the torture.
Yes to the oil painting idea yes yes 👏 👍
Matt , you are aware that a bleach final arc anime trailer dropped a few days ago ....RIGHT ?
Great content
I wish king had met dragon instead of kaido dragons the one who will truly change the world and bring the government to justice for their crimes against the lunarians
Yooo I can so see him as a RA member
Yeah that would’ve been realll nice
About the oil painting, if someone that doesn't know one piece, and come into your studio, they'll think that King is the main protagonist of the anime :P
the symbolism of left and right eyes have been in this story from the beginning. almost every chapter certain characters say certain things when only their left eye is showing like luffy. most people who have bad intentions usually have their right eye covered or some scar or variation.
