i liked donflomingo's father(especially being voiced by eggman in the dub.:3) as it was nice seeing a good world noble as he did have good intentions(compared to doflamingo who was an attempt to be sympathetic like big mom only to feel as evil from birth as dio/showed the sadistic heart of a world noble that he had it coming being kicked out.) and with the below world attacking him it'd likely happen to any world noble if the admiral threat was lifted.
Shanks killed Cobra. Cobra and Shanks meet with 5 Elders. There's a possible silhouette of Shanks as one of the 9 Holy Knights. The shocking thing that Sabo saw wasn't Imu on the throne, it was Shanks acting as a Holy Knight and killing Cobra. Remember, right after Shanks meets with the 5 Elders, Imu looks at Vivi's photo with interest right before being asked "The light that needs to be extinguished from history... Have you decided who it should be yet? If you have... Please tell us their name!!" (908). The light to "extinguish" is the Alabasta kingdom, a shining example of a thriving kingdom where the people love their royalty--the complete opposite of the celestial dragons. We also know the 5 Elders have some general distaste for the Nefatari because they refer to them as "traitors" (908). The 5 Elders also hope that Cobra "doesn't make things complicated" (908). So, we know there is some type of conflict between them, and the Elders might have what they deem to be reasonable cause to have him assassinated. Shanks met with the 5 Elders to talk about "a pirate," and "Given [his] standing...[he] should have nothing to do with politics" (907). We know that Shanks was found at God Valley, but he doesn't resemble any of the Celestial Dragons. The reference to "his standing" may imply that there is something more to him than being a Yonkou. When Croba meets with the 5 Elders, he sends Chaka and Pell away claiming that "it would be tedious" for them to "wait outside" even though the meeting "won't take long." Sending his bodyguards away because waiting outside for a short time is tedious just doesn't make sense. Croba probably did figure something out, confronted the 5 Elders, and then the 5 Elders has the closest Holy Knight assassinate Croba--but they can't take the blame, so they pass it off to Sabo who happened to be in the right place at the wrong time. Shanks killed Cobra!
as a player of world of tanks, i can tell you the cromwell b you are giving to new players is one of, if not the best tier 6 premium in the hands of an experienced player
Doffy's father was clearly a good guy, but he was also naive. If he'd just taken time to consider that revealing who they really were might not be the best idea, a lot of the tragedies that played out probably wouldn't have happened
@@oscaralonso4699 yeah exactly. I agree with both you and King Joka. Homing was a good guy trying to do the right thing. But he had zero world experience and made Doffy hate him. But really, he just made Doffy hate him faster. Even if Homing had gone about their integration into regular society much smarter and much more successfully Doffy would have still ended up hating him for it because he was no longer on top.
I really liked dofdads terrible decision making. Like yeah, he's definitely a good, nice guy but so are all the intentions on the road to hell. His decision was still rooted in the same kind of self-centered, short sighted petulance that all celestial dragons are known for. Dude just assumed he was entitled to the populace accepting him in to their world but still chose to live in a mansion with servants until his whole family paid the price. It really drives home how valuable and important to societies growth selfless people like the straw hats are.
it’s a anime, played out in the way oda wanted to, stop making up imaginary scenarios that we can predict cause we don’t know what how oda wants his story to go, just appreciate it
I imagine Bonnie being on egghead is going to be Oda's way of telling the straw hats everything that happened at the Reverie, the same way Sabo is telling the Revolutionaries
I think Fujitora was former member of holy knights, for a newly appointed admiral he knows a lot and he blind himself because he saw how cruel they were
@@Mayank_immortal also. maybe. just maybe he was appointed to be an admiral bec his blindness might be a hindrance in his holy knight status and could nerf him

I honestly believe holy knights are a bigger faction that it first appear and it is primarily made up of the "bastard" or all the kids that celestial dragon have with "common" folk that their parents were willing accept fully
Thats a good point. While I'm sure the manga will never go into any amount of detail, with how evil the world nobles are, I just can't imagine they have never gotten...frisky with a slave. But these slave kids wouldn't be on the same level probably, but still somewhat considered better than commoners because of the noble blood in them. So giving them a high position, but still one in service to the nobles, somewhat make sense.
@@shino4242 that kind of behavior is hinted several times even with the boa sisters. It with slave and also random people they might come across. Charlos has at least 13 wives pre time skip with most of not all being random women in the grand line they kidnap and forced to marry him. And we say him random divorce wives 1-5 at that time sent them back to live with "common" people. Odds are they would have a few kids with him, want happens to the kids
Everyone thinks this figure is an evil twin, but Shanks said he has his own plans for this generation. What if he has a twin that’s overthrowing the WG from the inside and Shanks is holding down the Pirate side of the world? Just a thought and it would make sense
Something to consider about the idea of tell don't show, is that in a long running battle manga power inflation is a real issue as each battle a character is involved in tends to show some new ability. By only telling readers of a fight or showing only a tiny glimpse, the characters involved can always remain thought of as a high tier battle without ever attaching it to a specific power level and without needing to employ narrative devices like "X was holding back out of ego". If Oda ever showed all of the high level fights he alludes to, he would in effect be imposing a creative limitation on just what he could show for all other characters in the future.
“In every set of twins, there is one angel and one devil. The right handed twin tells the truth, the left handed twin tells lies.” -Jandy Nelson Also Fujitora is a member of sword and Homing was good at heart but still had some Celestial Dragon arrogance thinking that they could live like normal and people would forgive them. He was ignorant of the horrors that the dragons inflicted upon the people or maybe he just lost a bet with another noble, who can say.
I think it makes a lot of sense that Shanks and Mihawk are holy knight heirs. One who was separated from their family at god valley and another who abdicated their responsibility to study the blade amongst the worlds strongest fighters. Brought to rivalry due to their similar pedigree. Mihawk may i also note has the sort of disconnected disposition of a world noble (zoro claims he lacks humanity) and manner of dress similar to Spanish influenced nobility like many world noble family names.
In regards to homing, I think it is his fault that Doffy ended up like that, not because he was a bad person (probably one of the kindest out of all of the celestial dragons) but because of his gross negligence and naïveté leading to his family getting brutally tortured and his wife die from anime mothers disease. Honestly if Rosinante didn't go down to live in the common realm, I could see him turning out to be very similar to Homing, while Doffy would still somewhat end up like St. Charlos or the other celestial dragons (in the way that he would have a lot of slaves and probably be cruel to them) but would not be so far gone as he is now
I love how Doffy reacts to his father in the flashback. Everytime Homming tries to appeal to people's empathy, or in Mingos' eyes "kowtow", he is annoyed and pissed off. The straw that broke the camel's back was him not Homming not getting angry and still begging as they're being crucified, there Doffy is fed up with hid naivety and, I theorize, awakens his conquerors. The extra straw that absolutely destroyed the camel was him STILL apologizing to his children which are "beneath" him, and gets shot for it. It's a harrowing story about a naive and overly kindhearted man fathering a malicious type of alpha, it just can't be sustained. I love how with all the goofiness and romance of OP, Oda gives us very real and poignant relationships which reflect real life.
This may be a long shot but the Knights, make me think that Brook may be associated with them. He was protecting royal convoys before becoming a pirate.
I have a theory which the nine knights are a parallel to the 9 red scabberds, and that shanks is one of them but is the kunjro of the group. They both have red hair (i know it dosent sound like much but its very fitting of oda) and the both gave up there arm in away to better the cause that they really stand behind. Its very like oda to have this very "two sides of the same coin" kind of foreshadowing.
I think it's quite funny, because in certain ways Oda is a master at Show don't Tell. Especially when it comes to showing what characters do. He's never going to have Zoro say directly to the reader's face "I'm too afraid that I'm not going to be strong enough" Or he's never going to have Luffy talk about how he's good at telling how people really feel about something. I think it just comes down to the fact that Oda is really good at characterization and showing that through subtle ways, but maybe not in other cases Edit: wrote the comment before the question of the day; I think he was just a foolish man. Clearly good intentions and a man with a conscience, but very very foolish.
Donquixote Homing was stupid but his heart was in the right place. That being said, not saying he deserved his fate, just saying a little more education wouldve really helped him 😭
Homing is the definition of the path to hell is paved with good intentions. He was honestly one of the best parents we may have seen in the series as far as truly caring and providing for his family. He was just blinded by the ignorance that came from being raised and living his whole life as a celestial dragon.
What I find interesting about when the Figarland Family name was mentioned...was that the Elders only mentioned it due to the world learning that Uta was Shanks' Daughter, it wasn't said about Shanks, it was addressing somebody possibly related to them they didn't straight up say Shanks was Figarland Shanks, but rather said Uta was Figarland Uta and by extension the fans figured out that meant Shanks was a Figarland
Not fully watched video yet, but Figarland seems to mean 'of the Land of Figs' and the land of figs and Olives is another word for Jerusalem which is where the Knights Templar were originally based. And the Holy Knights Templar were originally numbered as 9 members. I think the Figarland Family is absolutely connected to the Holy Knights, they might all be Figarlands. I dont know yet if it is Shanks or if it is His Brother or dad. But I wouldnt be suprised if Oda had the name as a clue.
@@6ha9an Thankyou, I've pieced the name meaning myself using Latin route words combined with classical surname conventions, but I didnt click the Knights Templar connection until somebody else brought it up.
At this point, Luffy is on a pretty clear trajectory to confront the celestial dragons in some way, be that direct or indirect (as this final saga has a lot of competing factions, its too early to know where that'll shake out). Did Sabo see Shanks at the Reverie? What could be interesting in a tragic way, is if Sabo somehow has to be the one to deliver the information to Luffy that Shanks isn't the role model he's built his life around. Does he take Sabo at his word? Does Luffy defend his perception of Shanks' honor? Does the revelation set the stage for a serious "who are you?" conversation between Red Hair and Straw Hat?
Shank's being a twin might overly complicate his story too much. Tbh I think it'd just be better if he himself was the holy night. I do feel that kaido's lack of back story I think means he'll be explored much later, possibly with a sort of redemption arc
@@managementok265 He can still be a good guy working for the bad guys with an ultimate purpose in mind, like with Law joining the Warlords. Also, remember how Sanji was forced to join up with the Vinsmokes against his will? It might be something like that.
In chapter 1062 Bonney mentions that she met Sabo in marijoa and probably helped him in freeing kuma. I think she learned from Sabo that to deactivate his programing that she needed to go to Vegapunk.
Interesting but my thoughts on that are 1, She knows Vegapunks was involved without sabo saying so, and 2, she remembers she could tell Luffy about meeting sabo there in a way that I don’t think she would’ve if he was the whole reason she was there
If I’m remembering correctly, Cobra said he wanted to speak with the Gorosei about the Poneglyphs. And that’s when it became apparent that he was actually gonna die.
Maybe that time in the anime where Ace met Shanks, he actually met his twin brother who also happened to have crewmates who are twins of his entire crew. That would explain why he had 2 arms
I have always believed that that any characters introduced in the series as a silhouette were done this way because the listener within the story has yet to see or know of this character firsthand. Therefore, the silhouette is that of the listener's best comparison to what they know, putting the reader in the same mindset. When Luffy is told of the Yonko, he already knew what Shanks l, and had a good idea of Whitebeards appearance due to Ace's tatoo, but Big mom and Kaido were knew names he had not heard before. In this case, Sabo probably equates Shanks to that of a Knight due to Luffy's high praise of him, and therefore that is the image we can best picture.
I'm not sure it changes anything but the clones can be aged pretty easily. All the Germa clones were aged at a faster rate clone wars style. Which also means my clone-beard theory still holds lol.
That is not the problem, the problem is that Shanks is older than any of the other clones in the series and even MADS themselves, yeah... MAYBE the holy knight is a clone of Shanks, but Shanks is not a clone of a holy knight.
The siluete is the same man we saw meeting at the gorosei, he was hiding because people could thing he was one of the four emperors, his brother/twin Shanks. And the pirate he wanted to talk about was the same Shanks we thought he was.
I showed my friends today for the million time the gorosei meeting with "Shanks" and it just becomes clearer after their conversation that it's defenatly not the Shanks we know about all those 1000+ chapers, the scar is missing, he shadowed most of his body to cover up the supposed missing arm but what convinced me is the way the gorosei talk to him and they didn't adress him as "Red-Hair" even once
The holy knights might also just be world nobles who want to do the punch fighting. And due to their wealth and power they could have the potential to learn the best of the best punch fighting
@@vipvip-tf9rw they could just kidnap good trainers and have them either be slaves or let thim live in luxury while teaching people how to punch fight well. How could they not?
@@vipvip-tf9rw that's objectively not true. All basic haki can be learned, Conquerors haki is the only one that's inherited and you have no control over. And every other form of haki is learnable and trained under rigorous battle.
Gol D Roger was probably one of Gods Knights who went to go be a pirate. And one of his old knight friends probably left Shanks for him to take care of. Similarly Garp was probably an old Gods Knight too which is why Roger trusted his son with Garp.
7:38 look Gary, there I am! Also I think Homing was good intentioned and was a very kindhearted person, but him thinking that the citizens would welcome him and his family was a huge lapse in judgement on his part.
Its also possible that the "shanks" we see in the reverie doesn't have Shanks color scheme. This would be impossible to tell due to the manga being black and white. The anime is also notorious for coloring characters wrong. What if the Shanks we see at the reverie was a blonde? or had more orange hair? But the anime just adapted him as Shanks for obvious reasons?
Cobras exact words in the official translation are "This will not take long... But i dont want you waiting around getting bored." Which to me does seem like he knows more than hes letting on and doesnt want to worry Chaka and Pell
More than likely it's 1 of 2 things in regards to shanks. 1) long lost brother or even his father. We don't exactly know how shanks got separated from his parents so it could be his father looking for his son. 2) knowing what we do about the seraphim, it is a possibility that he could've been patient zero without even knowing.
The cloning shit reminds me of so many different movies and shows that involves cloning, body snatching, body manipulation, and different variants. Leaves you questioning everything like the invasion of the skrulls or the invasion of the body snatchers
"why did Cobra want to speak with the 5 elder stars?" I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he wanted to probe them for some pretty heavy questions that they confirm/deny purely based on how they react to the question, leading to Cobra needing to be killed right then and there, but not before he's able to get that information to Sabo, hence why HE is there
I think the nicest touch to the Doffy page, he isnt smiling, he's frowning, up until this page, (minus a chunk of the Luffy fight) he had a smile plastered to his face. If we do end up seeing him later (cross guild maybe), im expecting to see some pretty big character growth
Calling it now: The Shanks looking figure is Shanks's older brother that put baby Shanks in the treasure chest in the hopes of getting rid of him/killing him.
Just occurred to me: if Shanks has a twin of equivalent (or even greater?) swordsmanship then I can imagine a potential scenario where we see a 'rematch' between a Shanks-equivalent and Hawkeye Mihawk, who never got over the pirate Shanks losing his arm. Furthermore, if Shanks' twin were to win that potential duel against Mihawk, the stakes for Zoro's involvement in the arguably inevitable fight against Imu and the holy knights would also become that much greater, i.e his dream would also be tied up in that conflict.
Taking the food away from the nobles is great idea and very effective. They’ll have more food trouble which reveals more of the nobles’ atrocities to more people. As well as increasing taxing the population, which in turn causes more nations to fall behind like Whitebeard’s nation, more people turn to pirate protection or revolt altogether. 2 birds 1 stone, put the nobles in a bad spot and potentially gain more members.
i think Cora knew that this would be his last chance to confront the Gorossei about the contents of the polneglyph in Arabasta, reminder that Robin shared her translation with Cobra, after she told him how special this particular polneglyph is, because it contains truth about the void century, so if we get to see the conversation that went on between him and the gorossei, we might learn some new stuff about the nefertari family and the celestial dragons.
Regarding Doffy's daddy, while he had good intentions, he shares the same lack of awareness of the world around him that other celestial dragons do. I'm curious how education works in Mary Geosie. Can't imagine there's an emphasis on knowledge when they can literally have anything they want. I doubt Homing could even read let alone understand the severity of his mistake to leave.
Doflamingo’s father could have done much more good for the world with his power as a world noble, such as how Mjosgard was able to protect Shirahoshi, rather than throwing the power away for the sake of morals.
think about it , after egghead the final war saga will start , so if oda wants to include all the pirates ( cancelling some matchups like shanks vs BB etc) then the marines team should be strong enough . Other than 5 elders , 3 admirals and 1 fleet admiral , Imu and some marines who have decent haki , marines dont really have a chance against the worst gen . So maybe holy knights might introduce some villains to equal the fight matchups and if possible reveal Kidd's backstory..
I came here from Reddit where people are complaining about clickbaiting, just wanna say, great fucking job with the clickbait. You’re doing your job the right way. Rather than waiting for viewers to come to you, you put yourself in front of the viewers, BRAVO!
I think Cobra was going to ask the Elders about the nature of the ancient weapons, since Pluton's poneglyph was the reason Alabasta was nearly destroyed by Crocodile. Of course, asking anything about the past is gonna get you black bagged no matter who you are.
Interesting how despite all the CP9/0 cameos in 1083 Kaku is the only one missing: either he is doing something offscreen or foreshadowing him finally standing up for himself, and to Lucci, and quit being an assassin. He is currently alone with Zoro on Egghead Island whom he has an interesting relationship with.
@ 1:15 What is actually said: " I think that's a pretty big ASK.." @ 1:15 What my American ears hear when filtered through an Australian accent: "I think that's a pretty big ASS" 😅
Every time I think of Doflamingo's past and his father, all I can see is rage that could never have been held back once that dam started to crack. Homing made the right choice in wanting to live away from the rest of the Celestial Dragons, but it was foolish to take his family with him. Doflamingo was driven PAST rage when his mother died, and her death started a chain reaction that could never be stopped. It's probably a good thing we never see his eyes, because I can only imagine what chronic sustained rage and cruelty has turned those windows of the soul into.
As entertaining as the Holy Knight Shanks theory is, I don't think Oda would just give us bad Shanks just yet. It's too easy. The Holy Knights being the Figarland family makes more sense to me.
If you look at the scene when shanks met the gorosei he was completely covered and it was made sure we cant see the side of his face with the scar, also they said nothing which indicates that it really was shanks
I hope the 9 knights are just members of 9 different celestial dragon families. That way we will have 14 named by the time all Gorosei are named, along with these 9 knights. We also know Roswald, Donquixote, and Nefertari. And Fegerland (if canon). Which would make 18 of the 20 families known. Unless those two other named saints we’ve seen would count as the other two families; I just didn’t count them since full names weren’t given for them.
Cobra for sure wanted to talk about the ponegliphs you could see it in his face when robin brought it up on alabasta and itd also be the reason for his death.
At this point, I think it's safe to assume that Oda doesn't give a shit about travel time. He's going full Game of Thrones with how quickly characters are popping up in other places.
ok so with all the Reverie talk in this chapter, I had a thought... What if Rocks was not a bad guy? what if he was like a revolutionary who wanted to get rid of the current government for the betterment of the world, cause the government portrays Luffy as a villain, same for Roger and Whitebeard, what if at god valley he was trying to kill the 5 elders or some other world nobles that could’ve left a huge impact and saving there slaves
When Saint Charlos gets bashed by Mosgard, it is mentioned that he is going to see the world's greatest doctor. Perhaps a God's Knight? Maybe a potential final opponent for Chopper?
What about the possibility of not two Shanks but only one Shanks, who is a holy knight and a Yonko? Kind of like the situation with Doflamingo. That would explain why the mere presence of Shanks stopped the Paramount war.
theirs also been plenty of that level subterfuge in one piece, with characters like rosinante, X drake, even kuma is pretty much a double agent . would it really be a shock if they put shanks on rogers crew, then one day made him reconnect with his actual family, the figarlands, and then blackmailed him into being on the nobles beck and call
I think oda is going to do something masterful with this flashback. It has started with sabo telling it but I think it will end with us returning to Bonney and her coming back into the egghead story. I think the focus is gonna shift maybe after this next chapter and we will maybe get one or 2 more after that focus more on Bonney and the flashback will end with Bonney crying in that room on egghead & maybe even being found by someone.
My thought was that the nobles would just send out the marines to “confiscate” food from commoners. I can’t see them ever letting themselves come close to starvation
Considering that Kizaru went immediately to save the slaves at the auction houses on Sabaody then it’s very obvious that your theory on how the Celestial Dragons forms their food rations are formed is completely correct.
Even if that were the case, it still would require a ton of marine firepower to get past the revolutionary blockade just to go steal food from commoners.

Something to consider about the idea of tell don't show, is that in a long running battle manga power inflation is a real issue as each battle a character is involved in tends to show some new ability. By only telling readers of a fight or showing only a tiny glimpse, the characters involved can always remain thought of as a high tier battle without ever attaching it to a specific power level and without needing to employ narrative devices like "X was holding back out of ego". If Oda ever showed all of the high level fights he alludes to, he would in effect be imposing a creative limitation on just what he could show for all other characters in the future.

Also Fujitora is a member of sword and Homing was good at heart but still had some Celestial Dragon arrogance thinking that they could live like normal and people would forgive them. He was ignorant of the horrors that the dragons inflicted upon the people or maybe he just lost a bet with another noble, who can say.
i dont think he was ignorant, i think he was naive. to be honest, i dont blame the mob for wanting to kill them.
Fujitora can’t be in sword and an admiral since admirals report directly to the world government.
Exactly which is also the reason why Garp never became one. Because he refused to answer directly to the world government. Wanted freedom in a sense.
This chapter is a decent example of why one should wait for the official translation
I think it makes a lot of sense that Shanks and Mihawk are holy knight heirs. One who was separated from their family at god valley and another who abdicated their responsibility to study the blade amongst the worlds strongest fighters. Brought to rivalry due to their similar pedigree. Mihawk may i also note has the sort of disconnected disposition of a world noble (zoro claims he lacks humanity) and manner of dress similar to Spanish influenced nobility like many world noble family names.
In regards to homing, I think it is his fault that Doffy ended up like that, not because he was a bad person (probably one of the kindest out of all of the celestial dragons) but because of his gross negligence and naïveté leading to his family getting brutally tortured and his wife die from anime mothers disease. Honestly if Rosinante didn't go down to live in the common realm, I could see him turning out to be very similar to Homing, while Doffy would still somewhat end up like St. Charlos or the other celestial dragons (in the way that he would have a lot of slaves and probably be cruel to them) but would not be so far gone as he is now
Not “anime mothers” disease! But it’s true. One Piece abuses the hell out of the bedridden mother trope.
We know why Cobra wanted to speak with the Gorosei, it was to talk about the Poneglyphs after he spoke with Robin on Alabasta.
I love how Doffy reacts to his father in the flashback. Everytime Homming tries to appeal to people's empathy, or in Mingos' eyes "kowtow", he is annoyed and pissed off. The straw that broke the camel's back was him not Homming not getting angry and still begging as they're being crucified, there Doffy is fed up with hid naivety and, I theorize, awakens his conquerors. The extra straw that absolutely destroyed the camel was him STILL apologizing to his children which are "beneath" him, and gets shot for it. It's a harrowing story about a naive and overly kindhearted man fathering a malicious type of alpha, it just can't be sustained.
I love how with all the goofiness and romance of OP, Oda gives us very real and poignant relationships which reflect real life.
The strawHAT that broke the camel's back 😅
Shanks has always left a hole of curiousity on me
Like... Sakazuki did on... Ace?
He leaves holes in most of the people.
Makino would agree
@@TheLiveActionBrook Akainu loves donuts!
@@gabrieldannyelo8928 😭😭😭😭😭
This may be a long shot but the Knights, make me think that Brook may be associated with them. He was protecting royal convoys before becoming a pirate.
I have a theory which the nine knights are a parallel to the 9 red scabberds, and that shanks is one of them but is the kunjro of the group. They both have red hair (i know it dosent sound like much but its very fitting of oda) and the both gave up there arm in away to better the cause that they really stand behind. Its very like oda to have this very "two sides of the same coin" kind of foreshadowing.
I think it's quite funny, because in certain ways Oda is a master at Show don't Tell. Especially when it comes to showing what characters do.
He's never going to have Zoro say directly to the reader's face "I'm too afraid that I'm not going to be strong enough"
Or he's never going to have Luffy talk about how he's good at telling how people really feel about something.
I think it just comes down to the fact that Oda is really good at characterization and showing that through subtle ways, but maybe not in other cases
Edit: wrote the comment before the question of the day; I think he was just a foolish man. Clearly good intentions and a man with a conscience, but very very foolish.
Donquixote Homing was stupid but his heart was in the right place. That being said, not saying he deserved his fate, just saying a little more education wouldve really helped him 😭
Homing is the definition of the path to hell is paved with good intentions. He was honestly one of the best parents we may have seen in the series as far as truly caring and providing for his family. He was just blinded by the ignorance that came from being raised and living his whole life as a celestial dragon.
I hold Doflimingo’s dad responsible for what happened to his family, but I don’t think I can blame him for what Doflimingo became
What I find interesting about when the Figarland Family name was mentioned...was that the Elders only mentioned it due to the world learning that Uta was Shanks' Daughter, it wasn't said about Shanks, it was addressing somebody possibly related to them
they didn't straight up say Shanks was Figarland Shanks, but rather said Uta was Figarland Uta and by extension the fans figured out that meant Shanks was a Figarland
Not fully watched video yet, but Figarland seems to mean 'of the Land of Figs' and the land of figs and Olives is another word for Jerusalem which is where the Knights Templar were originally based. And the Holy Knights Templar were originally numbered as 9 members.
I think the Figarland Family is absolutely connected to the Holy Knights, they might all be Figarlands. I dont know yet if it is Shanks or if it is His Brother or dad. But I wouldnt be suprised if Oda had the name as a clue.
Finally a decent backing to this shanks holy knight theory
@@6ha9an Thankyou, I've pieced the name meaning myself using Latin route words combined with classical surname conventions, but I didnt click the Knights Templar connection until somebody else brought it up.
Love this and I’m strongly in agreement that this is what it’ll turn out to be
CALLED IT! maybe...
I for one would love it if in the next chapter the Shanks silhouette is revealed to look nothing like Shanks apart from silhouette😂
Like tall Vegapunk in flashback? 😂
At this point, Luffy is on a pretty clear trajectory to confront the celestial dragons in some way, be that direct or indirect (as this final saga has a lot of competing factions, its too early to know where that'll shake out). Did Sabo see Shanks at the Reverie? What could be interesting in a tragic way, is if Sabo somehow has to be the one to deliver the information to Luffy that Shanks isn't the role model he's built his life around. Does he take Sabo at his word? Does Luffy defend his perception of Shanks' honor? Does the revelation set the stage for a serious "who are you?" conversation between Red Hair and Straw Hat?
Shank's being a twin might overly complicate his story too much. Tbh I think it'd just be better if he himself was the holy night. I do feel that kaido's lack of back story I think means he'll be explored much later, possibly with a sort of redemption arc
I think the idea of Shanks being a villain is awful and would ruin his character for me.
@@managementok265 He can still be a good guy working for the bad guys with an ultimate purpose in mind, like with Law joining the Warlords. Also, remember how Sanji was forced to join up with the Vinsmokes against his will? It might be something like that.
@GenshinStar Maybe. But the dude basically runs a retirement home for old pirates. It's hard to see him as anything but a good guy.
Luffy doesn't like bad people. Luffy likes shanks
@@managementok265 yeah why anyone think it was good idea shanks pushing new gens then suddenly pull a no i serve imu sama is bs.
In chapter 1062 Bonney mentions that she met Sabo in marijoa and probably helped him in freeing kuma. I think she learned from Sabo that to deactivate his programing that she needed to go to Vegapunk.
Interesting but my thoughts on that are 1, She knows Vegapunks was involved without sabo saying so, and 2, she remembers she could tell Luffy about meeting sabo there in a way that I don’t think she would’ve if he was the whole reason she was there
Mariejois*
If I’m remembering correctly, Cobra said he wanted to speak with the Gorosei about the Poneglyphs. And that’s when it became apparent that he was actually gonna die.
Maybe that time in the anime where Ace met Shanks, he actually met his twin brother who also happened to have crewmates who are twins of his entire crew. That would explain why he had 2 arms
Nah it was a animation error
@@bane2652 wym animation error that's clearly his twin brother. The evidence is right there
I have always believed that that any characters introduced in the series as a silhouette were done this way because the listener within the story has yet to see or know of this character firsthand. Therefore, the silhouette is that of the listener's best comparison to what they know, putting the reader in the same mindset. When Luffy is told of the Yonko, he already knew what Shanks l, and had a good idea of Whitebeards appearance due to Ace's tatoo, but Big mom and Kaido were knew names he had not heard before. In this case, Sabo probably equates Shanks to that of a Knight due to Luffy's high praise of him, and therefore that is the image we can best picture.
I'm not sure it changes anything but the clones can be aged pretty easily. All the Germa clones were aged at a faster rate clone wars style. Which also means my clone-beard theory still holds lol.
That is not the problem, the problem is that Shanks is older than any of the other clones in the series and even MADS themselves, yeah... MAYBE the holy knight is a clone of Shanks, but Shanks is not a clone of a holy knight.
@@phelps6205 none of the holy knights are clones, that would be poo writing. It's definitely shanks father or twin
Shanks isn't just a holy knight, he is one of the laders. It makes sense why he is able to see the 5 world nobles so casually
If it’s actually turns out to be shanks twin then I wonder how Luffy will react to his father fighting against shanks twin
Luffy doesn't give a crap about who fights who all he wants is freedom for everyone✌
@@passingcloud9243 and food
I think the twin of shanks is Rayleigh
They both had a major part in both story of roger & Luffy, maybe they’re the betrayers
@@sokahbeats435 there is so much that makes this statement impossible
"What would a world Nobel need to do to disgrace themselves?"
Peacefully move down to the Blue Sea for starters.
The siluete is the same man we saw meeting at the gorosei, he was hiding because people could thing he was one of the four emperors, his brother/twin Shanks. And the pirate he wanted to talk about was the same Shanks we thought he was.
I showed my friends today for the million time the gorosei meeting with "Shanks" and it just becomes clearer after their conversation that it's defenatly not the Shanks we know about all those 1000+ chapers, the scar is missing, he shadowed most of his body to cover up the supposed missing arm but what convinced me is the way the gorosei talk to him and they didn't adress him as "Red-Hair" even once
The holy knights might also just be world nobles who want to do the punch fighting. And due to their wealth and power they could have the potential to learn the best of the best punch fighting
not really, at most they can get the best df, that's it
@@vipvip-tf9rw they could just kidnap good trainers and have them either be slaves or let thim live in luxury while teaching people how to punch fight well. How could they not?
@@deebo429__ haki is not something one can train, if that was the case we would see more guys like shanks
@@vipvip-tf9rw that's objectively not true. All basic haki can be learned, Conquerors haki is the only one that's inherited and you have no control over. And every other form of haki is learnable and trained under rigorous battle.
You seem like a sponsers dream come true. You made an ad segment perfectly in your style making it so entertaining
The silhouette may be the person who gave white beard the scare he talked about when he met with shanks on his ship
Cobra probably knows about Im. In the next chapter we may even see him mentioning Im in front of Gorosei.
Gol D Roger was probably one of Gods Knights who went to go be a pirate. And one of his old knight friends probably left Shanks for him to take care of.
Similarly Garp was probably an old Gods Knight too which is why Roger trusted his son with Garp.
7:38 look Gary, there I am!
Also I think Homing was good intentioned and was a very kindhearted person, but him thinking that the citizens would welcome him and his family was a huge lapse in judgement on his part.
Its also possible that the "shanks" we see in the reverie doesn't have Shanks color scheme. This would be impossible to tell due to the manga being black and white. The anime is also notorious for coloring characters wrong. What if the Shanks we see at the reverie was a blonde? or had more orange hair? But the anime just adapted him as Shanks for obvious reasons?
Cobras exact words in the official translation are "This will not take long... But i dont want you waiting around getting bored." Which to me does seem like he knows more than hes letting on and doesnt want to worry Chaka and Pell
That's how I read it too. He knew things would be over quickly but he was not coming back.
More than likely it's 1 of 2 things in regards to shanks. 1) long lost brother or even his father. We don't exactly know how shanks got separated from his parents so it could be his father looking for his son.
2) knowing what we do about the seraphim, it is a possibility that he could've been patient zero without even knowing.
What I need to see the most is a Buggy and Foxy colab
So, will shanks have a sanji-esque arc if they turn out to be his family? That would be interesting
I think it makes sense that shanks is a holy knight because that would explain why he stopped Kaido from coming to marine Ford
Thank u for sponsoring my fictional pirates nonsense 😂😂
The cloning shit reminds me of so many different movies and shows that involves cloning, body snatching, body manipulation, and different variants. Leaves you questioning everything like the invasion of the skrulls or the invasion of the body snatchers
"why did Cobra want to speak with the 5 elder stars?"
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he wanted to probe them for some pretty heavy questions that they confirm/deny purely based on how they react to the question, leading to Cobra needing to be killed right then and there, but not before he's able to get that information to Sabo, hence why HE is there
It's simple really, one of the knights ate the Hito Hito no mi model : Shanks
I think the nicest touch to the Doffy page, he isnt smiling, he's frowning, up until this page, (minus a chunk of the Luffy fight) he had a smile plastered to his face.
If we do end up seeing him later (cross guild maybe), im expecting to see some pretty big character growth
i still really hope shanks is a holy knight bc i saw someone call him fed hair shanks and it was the funniest thing ever
Doffy's father is a fool he could live normally without telling anyone about he is a celestial dragon
Calling it now: The Shanks looking figure is Shanks's older brother that put baby Shanks in the treasure chest in the hopes of getting rid of him/killing him.
Just occurred to me: if Shanks has a twin of equivalent (or even greater?) swordsmanship then I can imagine a potential scenario where we see a 'rematch' between a Shanks-equivalent and Hawkeye Mihawk, who never got over the pirate Shanks losing his arm.
Furthermore, if Shanks' twin were to win that potential duel against Mihawk, the stakes for Zoro's involvement in the arguably inevitable fight against Imu and the holy knights would also become that much greater, i.e his dream would also be tied up in that conflict.
Taking the food away from the nobles is great idea and very effective. They’ll have more food trouble which reveals more of the nobles’ atrocities to more people. As well as increasing taxing the population, which in turn causes more nations to fall behind like Whitebeard’s nation, more people turn to pirate protection or revolt altogether. 2 birds 1 stone, put the nobles in a bad spot and potentially gain more members.
Doflamingo is a pretty good example of what celestial dragons do when desperate
i think Cora knew that this would be his last chance to confront the Gorossei about the contents of the polneglyph in Arabasta, reminder that Robin shared her translation with Cobra, after she told him how special this particular polneglyph is, because it contains truth about the void century, so if we get to see the conversation that went on between him and the gorossei, we might learn some new stuff about the nefertari family and the celestial dragons.
Regarding Doffy's daddy, while he had good intentions, he shares the same lack of awareness of the world around him that other celestial dragons do. I'm curious how education works in Mary Geosie. Can't imagine there's an emphasis on knowledge when they can literally have anything they want. I doubt Homing could even read let alone understand the severity of his mistake to leave.
Plural of Shanks is in fact a Shank. “Look over there there’s a Shank of Shanks fighting Shanks”
I've always been saying this. But Shanks is the Itachi of this Verse.
Doflamingo’s father could have done much more good for the world with his power as a world noble, such as how Mjosgard was able to protect Shirahoshi, rather than throwing the power away for the sake of morals.
4:33 for an example of twin twist done right i highly recommend Gravity Falls
think about it , after egghead the final war saga will start , so if oda wants to include all the pirates ( cancelling some matchups like shanks vs BB etc) then the marines team should be strong enough . Other than 5 elders , 3 admirals and 1 fleet admiral , Imu and some marines who have decent haki , marines dont really have a chance against the worst gen . So maybe holy knights might introduce some villains to equal the fight matchups and if possible reveal Kidd's backstory..
Shanks when he meet with the gorosei didn't seen to have his scar.
I came here from Reddit where people are complaining about clickbaiting, just wanna say, great fucking job with the clickbait. You’re doing your job the right way. Rather than waiting for viewers to come to you, you put yourself in front of the viewers, BRAVO!
Papa flamingo really did not think his plan through and he suffered heavy for it intent was noble but his effort was weak
Nice lighting, matching the lighting in the big mom fight.
I think Cobra was going to ask the Elders about the nature of the ancient weapons, since Pluton's poneglyph was the reason Alabasta was nearly destroyed by Crocodile. Of course, asking anything about the past is gonna get you black bagged no matter who you are.
Interesting how despite all the CP9/0 cameos in 1083 Kaku is the only one missing: either he is doing something offscreen or foreshadowing him finally standing up for himself, and to Lucci, and quit being an assassin. He is currently alone with Zoro on Egghead Island whom he has an interesting relationship with.
I’m putting my money on Shanks having a clone, not a twin
@ 1:15 What is actually said: " I think that's a pretty big ASK.."
@ 1:15 What my American ears hear when filtered through an Australian accent: "I think that's a pretty big ASS" 😅
Every time I think of Doflamingo's past and his father, all I can see is rage that could never have been held back once that dam started to crack.
Homing made the right choice in wanting to live away from the rest of the Celestial Dragons, but it was foolish to take his family with him.
Doflamingo was driven PAST rage when his mother died, and her death started a chain reaction that could never be stopped.
It's probably a good thing we never see his eyes, because I can only imagine what chronic sustained rage and cruelty has turned those windows of the soul into.
Petition to name this hypothetical Shanks clone/twin/doppelganger in the Holy Knights "Shonks."
As entertaining as the Holy Knight Shanks theory is, I don't think Oda would just give us bad Shanks just yet. It's too easy. The Holy Knights being the Figarland family makes more sense to me.
I think the Shanks twin line would be epic actually.
If you look at the scene when shanks met the gorosei he was completely covered and it was made sure we cant see the side of his face with the scar, also they said nothing which indicates that it really was shanks
Green bull could probably just make a farm for them to not starve
Bonney killing Charloss would be the perfect opposite to her first action: keeping Zoro away from Charloss.
I hope the 9 knights are just members of 9 different celestial dragon families. That way we will have 14 named by the time all Gorosei are named, along with these 9 knights. We also know Roswald, Donquixote, and Nefertari. And Fegerland (if canon). Which would make 18 of the 20 families known. Unless those two other named saints we’ve seen would count as the other two families; I just didn’t count them since full names weren’t given for them.
Cobra for sure wanted to talk about the ponegliphs you could see it in his face when robin brought it up on alabasta and itd also be the reason for his death.
At this point, I think it's safe to assume that Oda doesn't give a shit about travel time. He's going full Game of Thrones with how quickly characters are popping up in other places.
Fujitora almost saw the end of one piece so he blinded himself to keep enjoying the series without spoilers👍🏽
I like the twin theory, maybe that’s why Shanks decided to lose his arm to the sea king
It's not a clone. It's the missing arm that grew a new Shanks.
Just like Ash's hand in the Evil Dead movies.
Shanks having a clone / twin brother could be the way for Luffy to have a Final 1vs1 with “Shanks”
I like how he added a left arm to the silouette just to have another differ3nce between it and shanks
ok so with all the Reverie talk in this chapter, I had a thought... What if Rocks was not a bad guy? what if he was like a revolutionary who wanted to get rid of the current government for the betterment of the world, cause the government portrays Luffy as a villain, same for Roger and Whitebeard, what if at god valley he was trying to kill the 5 elders or some other world nobles that could’ve left a huge impact and saving there slaves
If the dugong aren’t in the final war destroying lesser pirates or marines with armament Hali, I will eat my straw hat
When Saint Charlos gets bashed by Mosgard, it is mentioned that he is going to see the world's greatest doctor. Perhaps a God's Knight? Maybe a potential final opponent for Chopper?
What about the possibility of not two Shanks but only one Shanks, who is a holy knight and a Yonko? Kind of like the situation with Doflamingo. That would explain why the mere presence of Shanks stopped the Paramount war.
theirs also been plenty of that level subterfuge in one piece, with characters like rosinante, X drake, even kuma is pretty much a double agent . would it really be a shock if they put shanks on rogers crew, then one day made him reconnect with his actual family, the figarlands, and then blackmailed him into being on the nobles beck and call
I think oda is going to do something masterful with this flashback. It has started with sabo telling it but I think it will end with us returning to Bonney and her coming back into the egghead story. I think the focus is gonna shift maybe after this next chapter and we will maybe get one or 2 more after that focus more on Bonney and the flashback will end with Bonney crying in that room on egghead & maybe even being found by someone.
Buggy and shanks both have brothers that are holy knights
Never seen twins do well in fiction? Fred and George Weasley?
My thought was that the nobles would just send out the marines to “confiscate” food from commoners. I can’t see them ever letting themselves come close to starvation
Considering that Kizaru went immediately to save the slaves at the auction houses on Sabaody then it’s very obvious that your theory on how the Celestial Dragons forms their food rations are formed is completely correct.
Even if that were the case, it still would require a ton of marine firepower to get past the revolutionary blockade just to go steal food from commoners.
Shanks has a royal brother he just got separated from the rest of his family, boom done.
