Koby and Helmeppo are some of the purest representations of Oda’s skill as a writer and the long term payoff that makes One Piece truly rewarding to read
powerscalers- I sleep /// geography scalers- real shit! Never put the size ratio of Thriller Bark and Fullolead into context. I already thought 'Honesty Impact' was the typical amount of impressive for a late game Shonen Jump manga feat, but this makes it seem absolutely insane! And you made a whole Koby expose about how cool he is without even needing to default to mentioning Luffy's summation of his character at the end of Water7 as "Koby is a man who makes things happen. I know that much." High praise coming from the guy who changes things every place he goes, inadvertently.
I’ve always taken Koby, Sabo, and Ace as different versions of what if Luffy instead of being a Pirate Captain he were instead a Marine, Revolutionary, or Pirate follower and not captain.
Now THIS is the content im here for. Kobe deserves all the flowers Kobe’s true strength is undoubtedly his courage and bravery. The dude has stood his ground while practically pissing himself, but he stays true to his beliefs no matter how much he wants to curl up into a ball and cry, and that is something everyone can relate to feeling and respect the hell out of him for overcoming it
I’m so glad you made this video. I absolutely love Koby. He’s always been such an important character to me because he represents how I felt about Luffy from the very beginning. Some people needed until Arlong Park to fall in love with OP, but I’ve been enamored since Luffy first told Koby he was a coward. Honesty isn’t traditionally cool, but it is incredibly important to me as an individual. I think knowing the truth is too important to be concerned with how much it may hurt, and I have a lot of respect for people who are capable of being truthful without malice. It is not always an easy thing to do. The dynamic between Luffy’s willingness to shatter the glass prison that Koby had built for himself with the blunt honesty of the truth, and Koby’s ability to transmute that painful truth into meaningful growth is such an important part of the story for me. He came from absolutely nothing. No talent or position to speak of, and just because someone he admires told him that they believe in him. That he can do it too. He has transformed himself into one of the most capable and humble individuals in the entire Marine force. Koby might not be the coolest character in the story, but I think he is one of the most important for how he telegraphs to the reader that while not everybody can be Luffy, we can all be inspired by Luffy to chase our dreams and become the most free and fulfilled version of ourselves. We haven’t even begun to see how powerful his honesty truly is.
You turned me into a supporter. Also, you write really well. I write a lot of comments like this but they're rarely so coherent and well made. I feel I can tell just how much koby's arc resonated for you and you've shared that with me really effectively.
THANK YOU! It’s really absurd when you step and look at Koby, it’s terrifying actually Unless Oda comes out and gives some special lineage mumbo jumbo for Koby, he’s arguably the most naturally gifted out there Cos the speed of growth is insane
nothing beats getting comfortable during the intro knowing a new topic is on the other end... Also Koby, Smoker, and Garp are my fave marines. Their dedication to true, genuine justice makes them so fun to see in the spotlight.
@@austinashworth6413 I do to! But I know it's mostly yapping and/or just talking about random stuff and "theories" that are not at all fleshed out. This channel is on a 100% different level, they're only connected by the source material 🤘
It could happen as the Crab bumps heads with the Dog (Akainu) and the Monkey (Kizaru) but Koby already had some sort of interaction with the Dog in Marineford. Oda is from North Hokkaido so this version of the Momotaro story holds more truth and is integrated in its own way in the one piece story
So to hop off your torpedo speed of swimming. Torpedoes can reach a staggering 230 mph for a launch speed. Koby also had to jump off his ship and SWIM TOWARDS the torpedo to intercept it. Meaning he had to swim faster to catch up whatever distance he needed to snag that torpedo. So at least Koby was going faster than 231 mph...underwater. Which don't even get us started with water resistance and how much that hampers speed. So yeah. Koby is pretty damn strong
Koby is arguably for me one of the kindest character of the series looking forward to see more of him untapped potential he has is big he's one of my favorite characters and I really like his relationship with Luffy
@@dragonninjaghostgirl7981 Yeah this is what I love about them that's a unique bond good pirate and good marine Luffy became Koby's first ever friend at the very beginning of the series if Luffy gives a big hug to Koby saying something like ''you're the great marine'' that will be beautiful I can already imagine Koby crying happily in Luffy's arms saying ''thank you Luffy you're a great pirate''
I don't think it'll be at the immediate end like with Naruto he's kinda too young I think Fujitora will probably be like Kakashi was as a stop gap Fleet Admiral until Koby is old enough if not Garp
As a Cobi fan born in the year 1996, who literally grew up, watching his games and self proclaimed Otaku artist this video gave me several moments of high serotonin. I appreciate you for putting this together and out to the world rest in power KOBE and Gigi Bryant 💜💛
Yusss I needed some Koby hype after that chapter!! The anecdote about the wrestler gave me chills, what an excellent story on its own and a fantastic way to tie many of the aspects of Koby's arc into a poignant lesson. And I really appreciate the points about how unbelievably QUICKLY Koby's improved, obvs moments like that ("wait, that was only a month/week/year/etc in the story???") happen all the time bc this almost-3-in-world-years have taken +26 years to come out irl, but I never appreciated how startlingly fast Koby has blossomed since Ch. 1. Wow great vid!! (Side note - your story reminded me of something from way back when I played softball in school. I'd never played before so my dad took me to a pitching clinic night right before my first season started, and unbeknownst to any of us students, the teachers were keeping an eye on everyone so they could have a little awards ceremony afterwards. I arrived that night as the worst pitcher of the whole class, and when I left I was certainly still the worst pitcher out of the group. But it turned out that the teachers had unanimously voted me as "most improved" and gave me a little commemorative t-shirt. Really had a big impact on me - being applauded specifically for my willingness to learn, and my unwillingness to give up despite sucking so bad lol - and I ended up working so hard to continue learning that I made the all-stars team all four years in a row that I played the sport. Those little moments of inspiration matter so much!!)
I've been cheering for Koby for a while now. Not as long as some, but on a rewatch of Marineford I realized how much I wanted to see him succeed. I can't wait to see the new Hero of the Marines in action.
I find it symbolic that Koby has the same scar as luffy, except its on his forehead. Showing that luffys gut instinct, mirrors Koby's reasoning and logic; plus how deep of an impact he had on him.
I dunno, I think Koby is one of the coolest characters at this point. But in that golden retriever paragon sort of way. In a story where everyone else is a little bit of an edgy outlaw, I think he really stands out and becomes interesting in his own way.
You've opened my eyes to Koby's greatness. I've always liked Koby but you put his power and determination into perspective. Love your videos and how earnest you are! Keep up the great work!
Ending it with is Helmeppo Shaq was the best possible way to end it LMAO. I agreed with everything here and I didn't even think of Koby as the one to defeat Akainu but now I can't unsee that. This was goated 100%
Dude, you're seriously leveling up in content. I don't know much about the art of writing and storytelling at a deep level, but the last chapter of this video really stuck a chord with me. Really amazing job.
That was some real touching ish man. When Koby came back in Water 7, I knew he’d be making waves in the future and he hasn’t disappointed since. Love this video man.
I've heard a lot of people who didn't like koby in the beginning. I was never part of that camp. I didn't think he was gonna be this big of a character back when I started reading but I'm so glad he did. I see him becoming the fleet admiral of the marines after the world government is taken down.
Love to see your vids showing up with this frequency and quality, Hidden. I'm finding myself appreciating Koby more after seeing this. Those early characters are going to come up big as we get to the end of the series, like Dorry and Broggy, Vivi, and the Luffy's first companion on the seas, Koby :)
God I love your videos. Maybe it’s the way you explain, reference, no idea but this is definitely the no 1 and maybe the only one piece theorist channel I’ll always come back too. You’re not too serious, you link to small details and such - there’s something about your channel I absolutely love and respect.
Amazing video. I agree with everything you said wholeheartedly. it's all a matter of going back and rereading previous chapters to know where the story could possibly end up
Bro Koby has been my favorite tertiary character in the series since the jump. Once he got under Garps wing, I knew he was gonna be great. His arc and development make me so happy, and I can't wait to see what the boy does by the end.
We love more Hidden uploads, that 100K is fully possible. The NBA references went hard and that quote of your friends is legendary. I remember reading that Battleship Bags chapter and swelling up with immense hype and motivation. The size comparison from Thriller Bark to Pirate Island is wild BTW! Can't wait for the next one.
Im not the biggest Koby Fan, but if were gonna put Shanks above all or for some super top tier because of just one panel feats, we have to acknowledge Koby too. His panels, and his moments, put him at the top on the marine side, just alone his Haki feat of being the only person to be able to hear EVERYONE. Not the voice of all things, BUT THE VOICE OF EVERYONE. Koby has so much potential and weve yet to see it. Cant wait
Damn, had caught a lot of that (*loved* your Kobe cuts btw! Pink Mamba 😄) but never twigged at the sheer size of Pirate Island as shown by Thriller Bark's landing despite reading and re-reading Moria's visit. Well played!
Hell yes brotha! "people may not remember how you start but they'll always remember how you finish" don't know where your friend got it but that is a fantastic quote. And as a former wrestler turned mma one piece fanatic you just got yourself a sub. Great video my dude and mad respect for getting on the mats win or loose
Great video dude, I always appreciate some Koby love. I never really understood why so many people underestimate someone that has been chosen by Garp and claimed to be the future of the marines. Just the fact that the only marine to not want to answer to the celestial dragons says something like that I think is proof enough that Koby is an important character. He will definetly change the justice system of the WG. Really want to see Oda give him more screen time.
One of the main drives he has that keeps him in the gym, defo has to be the fact that he doesn't want anybody else to ever feel like him. He knew the pure terror of looking at your enslaver and he is forever fighting to be the eradicator of that image. Love the vids my guy
First time watcher and I had to comment just because of that intro, that was spectacular. Idk whoever made that but I sincerely hope you paid them well, that was sick as hell dude.
i would say that 90% of the time, the marines are the good guys and pirates are the bad guys, cause usually when we see pirate crews, they are pillaging and destroying(even white beard has done this and allows his crews to do this), and we usually see the marines having to clean up the mess. the marines genuinely want to protect the innocent, even G-5, being as wild as they are, still want to fight evil and protect the innocent.
Excellent video. Love the conclusion. Transformation of the reader/listener/consumer is the whole point of stories! Doesn't matter if it's fiction if it's getting at the human condition
Bro, koby is the only human in one piece who can have a glow up so good that he grows 3 feet in 3 months. AND get BETTER observation haki than GOD USOPP HIMSELF🗿🗿🗿
Thank you for sharing that wrestling anecdote. I love hearing about the real world impact these stories have on people. Even though the stories may be fictional, there can always be real world takeaways.
I checked if you had a new video out 15 mins ago. I saw you did not, and I was sad. Made a sandwhich, came back, and here you are. Oh, how you court me, Hidden Island.
Koby has always been one of my favorite characters and seeing him with his new attack honesty impact made me so happy. I can't wait to see it animated it's going to be so awesome. And the attack name is just perfect for Kobe and what he plans to do for the military
I really liked that the live action made Koby look like Luff's duoteragonist instead of just a returning side character. I think it was a giant missed opporatunity in the actual One piece story, and I think Oda realized that as well.
I remember after Honesty Impact, lots of people were downplaying how big of a feat it was, especially coming from Koby. Justt so they wouldn't give him his credit, they started saying the AP vs DC bullshit just so they can downplay it. I was one of the very few who defended Koby in that moment. For multiple days i was having debates in comment sections as to why that feat is a massive feat
100% agree I had a similar theory about coby on the one piece sub reddit not long ago which for me was an independent thought but there’s no way people haven’t been expecting him to be the future fleet admiral or even remaker of the marines for a long time
While Koby vs Akainu does sound good as a final fight for Koby, I must say that I secretly hope that Koby’s final fight will be him and Luffy vs Blackbeard. And I have multiple reasons for that: 1. It would furthermore strengthen the fact that Luffy embodies Roger’s legacy as a pirate and Koby embodies Garp’s legacy as a marine, while BB embodies Rocks legacy as a threat to the entire world, therefore making this fight analogical to the God Valley incident. 2. Koby has had a lot more interactions with BB, and now that they’ve captured or probably even killed Garp, I feel like there are increasingly more reasons why Blackbeard should also be a concern for Koby and not just Luffy. 3. I’d be kind of disappointed if Luffy can just defeat BB in a 1v1 fight, because that would make it seem like BB was yet just another yonko on Luffy’s path that he had to overcome in order to become king of the pirates. But if it requires both Luffy and Koby’s collaborated efforts to take down BB, then that would make him more of a fitting final villain for the story. Both Luffy’s and Koby’s story would have come full circle since their introduction, coming to a final meeting point where they can at last fight alongside each other to take down a common enemy of theirs.
Kobby is up there with my mates Bon chan, Buggy, Gaïmon, Usopp, Tashigi...Characters that make One Piece graduate from standard best-seller to straight up genius work
@7:29 This analogy might just be a microcosm about how One Piece ends in the last battle. Luffy attacks a figurehead of corruption for abusing their power and brings down the hammer of true power behind the figurehead. One of his allies tied to a crucifix and on death row for unjust reasons... The figurehead threatening good people he cares about with his own life on the line, and he makes the decision that saves everyone instead of choosing between himself, his friends, and the world. Afterwards all of the marines are reformed, evil is put away for good, and he and his friends continue living their lives as the world thanks them for helping.
it's took FAR TOO LONG for coby to get the respect he deserves. the mans potential is insane, with how little time he had to train compared to everyone else. and he is still 1 year younger than luffy with no devil fruit!
Love the points you made about garp gassing up Koby, he really has to be the future and liberate the marines like luffy will liberate the rest of the world. Another amazing video Hidden! 🐐
In any other shonen, Koby would be the protagonist. I'm VERY curious to see how he'll react to Vegapunk's broadcast. He's known from the beginning that all is not as it seems, and getting confirmation that it's so much worse than anyone could've imagined will definitely provoke some very interesting reactions from basically every marine. Will he stay and try to reform them? Will there be a mass exodus of good marines forming a splinter group to fight the corrupt World Government? Would he join such a group if it formed? I dunno, but I'm hyped to see where the pink mamba goes from here
I was a Koby hater until this video
why would u ever be a coby hater in the first place💀
Feds that’s why
Kobys a good boy
Glad that you aren't one anymore, Ik that Koby isn't that cool but he's awesome!
@@umbralowl him being uncool is what makes him cool
Koby gave me my first “proud dad” moment when he blew apart that giant stone hand. My boy went from scrubbing decks to decking scrubs
Pizarro said he wanted to get his clout Like BB and wound up being the first Koby Victim. That's tuff.
🫡
I am Koby's strongest soldier. I will never stop glazing. Chapter 1088 made me feel so damn happy for the guy, and so happy to be a Koby fan.

LMFAO NAHHHHH, I GOTTA STOP YOU THERE@@wave_breakr
If Koby has a million fans, I’m one of them.
If Koby has no fans, it means I’m dead.
Koby and Helmeppo are some of the purest representations of Oda’s skill as a writer and the long term payoff that makes One Piece truly rewarding to read
Helmeppo goes from aiming a gun at Koby's head to begging on his hands and knees while crying for people to join him in his rescue
10/10
Not to mention taking a gosh darn CANNONBALL for koby
Koby giving Akainu the hands of justice would be beautiful, and also send every power scaler into a deep depression 😭
He just donuts him

Tbh it was more impressive than even the Galaxy Impact, since that only destroyed a small section of the city

It’s really absurd when you step and look at Koby, it’s terrifying actually
Unless Oda comes out and gives some special lineage mumbo jumbo for Koby, he’s arguably the most naturally gifted out there
Cos the speed of growth is insane
i mean looking at the battleship bags, it seems like he’s just super motivated and determined to get stronger, putting in 200% effort

Akainu vs Koby is a crazy thought that makes perfect sense. There's no other way BUT this matchup. Good stuff. Pink Mamba on top!

I really like the aesthetic of this channel; the nighttime tropical bar style seems highly unused in media but it's so sublime
Koby will do everything Garp couldn't and surpass everything Garp already did
If he doesn't become the fleet admiral of a newly reformed marines at the end then something ain't right.
I don't think it'll be at the immediate end like with Naruto he's kinda too young
I think Fujitora will probably be like Kakashi was as a stop gap Fleet Admiral until Koby is old enough if not Garp
Maybe in a "20 years later" scenario, because it's clear they're going towards a Garp/Roger parallel with Koby and Luffy down the road

You have one of the coolest intros iv ever seen. Great videos. Keep it up.
Love from switzerland
That thumbnail goes super hard brotha
Also, i like the blue and black color scheme, it's a nice contrast with Luffy's yellow and red aestethic
your videos are really coooool, keep em coming
Sabo and Koby have always been my favorite one piece characters behind Brook I’m glad my boy is finally getting the recognition he deserves
Bro your character analysis is amazing. Id love more!
I loved Koby but never saw him this deeply until now, thanks man
The biggest smile pops up when I watch ur videos
Never watched this channel before but can't lie that intro is smooooth af
First time watcher and I had to comment just because of that intro, that was spectacular. Idk whoever made that but I sincerely hope you paid them well, that was sick as hell dude.
i would say that 90% of the time, the marines are the good guys and pirates are the bad guys, cause usually when we see pirate crews, they are pillaging and destroying(even white beard has done this and allows his crews to do this), and we usually see the marines having to clean up the mess. the marines genuinely want to protect the innocent, even G-5, being as wild as they are, still want to fight evil and protect the innocent.
Excellent video. Love the conclusion. Transformation of the reader/listener/consumer is the whole point of stories! Doesn't matter if it's fiction if it's getting at the human condition
I've been watching UA-cam since 2006 and this is one of the best videos I've ever watched. Please keep up the fantastic work you will succeed
Bro, koby is the only human in one piece who can have a glow up so good that he grows 3 feet in 3 months. AND get BETTER observation haki than GOD USOPP HIMSELF🗿🗿🗿
Thank you for sharing that wrestling anecdote. I love hearing about the real world impact these stories have on people. Even though the stories may be fictional, there can always be real world takeaways.
Awesome vid, Koby is awesome and Honesty Impact was so cool
Great vid and love the personal anecdote at the end
I checked if you had a new video out 15 mins ago. I saw you did not, and I was sad.
Made a sandwhich, came back, and here you are.
Oh, how you court me, Hidden Island.
Brabo demais! You are the men. From Brazil ;)🎉🎉
Koby has always been one of my favorite characters and seeing him with his new attack honesty impact made me so happy. I can't wait to see it animated it's going to be so awesome. And the attack name is just perfect for Kobe and what he plans to do for the military
Thank you Hidden 🙏🏼
My top 5 all time characters. I've loved Koby since the start I'm so happy seeing glowing up
I really liked that the live action made Koby look like Luff's duoteragonist instead of just a returning side character. I think it was a giant missed opporatunity in the actual One piece story, and I think Oda realized that as well.
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE LOVE THE INTRO PLEASE HAVE IT IN EVERY VIDEO ❤❤❤❤ MUCH LOVE HIDDEN
I remember after Honesty Impact, lots of people were downplaying how big of a feat it was, especially coming from Koby. Justt so they wouldn't give him his credit, they started saying the AP vs DC bullshit just so they can downplay it. I was one of the very few who defended Koby in that moment. For multiple days i was having debates in comment sections as to why that feat is a massive feat
We Koby fans get up to fight Every Day. Salute.
My goat, Koby. Great vid Hidden
the content is consistently god tier thank you hidden🙌🏼
100% agree I had a similar theory about coby on the one piece sub reddit not long ago which for me was an independent thought but there’s no way people haven’t been expecting him to be the future fleet admiral or even remaker of the marines for a long time
While Koby vs Akainu does sound good as a final fight for Koby, I must say that I secretly hope that Koby’s final fight will be him and Luffy vs Blackbeard. And I have multiple reasons for that:
1. It would furthermore strengthen the fact that Luffy embodies Roger’s legacy as a pirate and Koby embodies Garp’s legacy as a marine, while BB embodies Rocks legacy as a threat to the entire world, therefore making this fight analogical to the God Valley incident.
2. Koby has had a lot more interactions with BB, and now that they’ve captured or probably even killed Garp, I feel like there are increasingly more reasons why Blackbeard should also be a concern for Koby and not just Luffy.
3. I’d be kind of disappointed if Luffy can just defeat BB in a 1v1 fight, because that would make it seem like BB was yet just another yonko on Luffy’s path that he had to overcome in order to become king of the pirates. But if it requires both Luffy and Koby’s collaborated efforts to take down BB, then that would make him more of a fitting final villain for the story. Both Luffy’s and Koby’s story would have come full circle since their introduction, coming to a final meeting point where they can at last fight alongside each other to take down a common enemy of theirs.
Now I can't stop thinking about Shaq with Helmeppo's hair. Thanks.
Kobby is up there with my mates Bon chan, Buggy, Gaïmon, Usopp, Tashigi...Characters that make One Piece graduate from standard best-seller to straight up genius work
@7:29 This analogy might just be a microcosm about how One Piece ends in the last battle. Luffy attacks a figurehead of corruption for abusing their power and brings down the hammer of true power behind the figurehead. One of his allies tied to a crucifix and on death row for unjust reasons... The figurehead threatening good people he cares about with his own life on the line, and he makes the decision that saves everyone instead of choosing between himself, his friends, and the world.
Afterwards all of the marines are reformed, evil is put away for good, and he and his friends continue living their lives as the world thanks them for helping.
One of the best one piece channels on YT rn. Hope you get 100k soon 🤘🤘
I am SUPER interested in Size scaling/comparison in one piece, be it ships, creatures, islands. Comparing them myself puts me in awe!
it's took FAR TOO LONG for coby to get the respect he deserves. the mans potential is insane, with how little time he had to train compared to everyone else.
and he is still 1 year younger than luffy with no devil fruit!
Love the points you made about garp gassing up Koby, he really has to be the future and liberate the marines like luffy will liberate the rest of the world. Another amazing video Hidden! 🐐
Dear Hidden. You should think about becoming a motivational Trainer. Love the vibes.
Amazing video and yes, Koby is freaking underrated.
Great content❤
In any other shonen, Koby would be the protagonist. I'm VERY curious to see how he'll react to Vegapunk's broadcast. He's known from the beginning that all is not as it seems, and getting confirmation that it's so much worse than anyone could've imagined will definitely provoke some very interesting reactions from basically every marine. Will he stay and try to reform them? Will there be a mass exodus of good marines forming a splinter group to fight the corrupt World Government? Would he join such a group if it formed? I dunno, but I'm hyped to see where the pink mamba goes from here
Great video man, I agree with Koby being undoubtedly skilled
I appreciate your videos man! I know you will pass that subscriber threshold !! Best of luck to you man
No cap that pink mamba title hit hard 🔥🔥🔥🔥 subscribed
I have two questions: Who made Koby? and Can he get much higher?
So high~
But is he a different animal, but the same beast?
This is the best One Piece theory I've every heard!
