Funny how an arc that was initially dismissed only to have people realise its greatness years later started with a man who was dismissed as a liar only to be proven right many years later.
Oh, that's a stunning parallel
Just like how Mr. Morj’s prophecized outcome of the raid is laughed at, until years later when it does come true.
woahh
I actually thought this was one of the best, it was like a dream to me.
Poetic
Bro has future sight or something 💀💀
Definitely makes up for his whole raid will fail thing haha,
Joking aside thus was a good prediction

No tbh, this was common sense

exactly I was low-key surprised when he didn't mention any of the new chapters int his video then I saw that this video came out before the chapters did
I'm constantly reminded that One Piece is one of the greatest stories of all time.

@@xiopia3940 that was so uncalled for
Oda said he originally planned to finish the series in 5 years and Skypiea was written 5 years into the series. So yeah, I think a lot of ideas for the end of the series were incorporated in Skypiea
Man so fun to imagine who/ which series will inherit oda's writing style in the future

People who shit on skypeia don’t realize that skypeia literally embodies everything that makes one piece good in one arc
enel shld come back..who agrees?
It was the arc that made me fall n love with One Piece, the free-flowing, total sense of adventure. I wonder why people need to put down other arcs to praise their own favourites
@@shiken69420 he most probably will come back
ikr? like how can you not like it? ruins, big snake, a literal sea of clouds!? it was one of the most fun arcs for me just beacuse of the island itself and damn would the adventure be over fast if every arc gave away some obvious major details
never understood why it got the reputaition of a sidequest
Casuals being casuals
Skypiea has always been a personal favorite arc. So glad it's relevance to modern One Piece is still going strong
i remember how heated i use to get on forums when i would read people telling other people to skip skypiae
Skypiea is the most fun fantastical adventurous arc of all one piece imo
It's not in my top 5 favorite arcs, but it used to be. I'm rereading it now and it's such a fun adventure. I still enjoy it
That isn't my favorite arc, but I always loved it since the beginning. While later I also kinda realized that skypea is basically op story in a nutshell (which make me love it even more), the main reason is because that arc is the core of one piece. Adventure, Dreams, exploring and not knowing that the heck will happen but still going forward.
I always have found funny that people doesn't like skypea arc, I mean, I can understand them of course, but they are doing exactly the opoosite of what one piece tell us, enjoy the travel.
My mind was blown that there was an island in the freakin sky. I was like “Oda, you SOB, you’ve got a fan.”
imagine the balls you need as an mangaka or any sort of author to write a whole story arc that a large group of your fan base strongly dislikes because you know that YEARS down the line it’ll pay off 100000 fold.
i feel like Oda might have done that so that he wouldn't forget the basics of the plot down the line. probably because he saw how long it was getting and didn't know how long it would take. could you imagine if he came out with that reasoning behind skypia
ua-cam.com/video/qYzqDJBeI9Q/v-deo.html 1
Skypia is one of the best arcs
Only idiots would think otherwise
Oda is leagues ahead of any other
You can say that again
Some would argue that the real *real* *REAL* story of One Piece only starts after the raid fails
😂😂😂😂😂
this is more likely
People joke about this because Oda loves to stretch plot points out, but don't dismiss it completly. We do know that oda already mention that the straw hats will be in a very bleak place once Wano reaches the ending. So what could that mean? You have to ask your self that. Some fans speculate oh yeah its probably just kaido or big mom defeating them completly and visa versa but i disagree. I think its going to be far more impactful then that and introduced an element in the story that will drive it towards its end. For example the Gorusei could make a drastic move or Rocks could enter the scene and change the whole tide of the conflict, etc.
One Piece only really gets started after Luffy defeats Kaido.
Some people say the O in one piece means "Onigashima raid will fail." We have seven letters left to go on
I just finished Enies Lobby, but I’m shocked to hear people didn’t like Skypeia. I loved that arc so much
Ikr I had a friend who strugglin to get through it
i dropped one piece in skypiea and rn im getting back to it (water seven) the first part of skypiea is absurdly slow, but ends really good when enel vs luffy starts
Me 2 I'm in the Wano arc now, for me skypea is in the top 5 and one of the most adventurous arc in the One Piece.
Skypeia is good

MAN, I was reading about NEFERTITIs story, thinking that ODA may have based this story in ANCIENT EGYPT, once that NEFERTARI AND ALABASTA are clearly based on it... so... I JUST STUMBLED IN SOME CRAZY EVIDENCES RIGHT NOW GUYS THAT ODA IS USING EGYPT STORY AND MYTHOLOGY A LOT TO ONE PIECE, specifically for IM!!! PLEASE GIVE IT A READ (I dont get how and where he is specifically using all of these DATAs, but you will see that he is using a lot of them! At least as reference for sure!):
- AMUN (IMN in ancient egypt PRONOUNCED IM!!!) was a major ancient Egyptian deity who appears as a member of the Hermopolitan Ogdoad. Amun was attested from the Old Kingdom (2700-2200 BC). Amun as father, Mut (MEANS LITTERALLY MOM) as mother and the MOON GOD Khonsu formed a divine family or "Theban Triad"... The history of Amun as the patron god of Thebes begins in the 2000 B.C. (In the New Kingdom of Egypt), when his worshipers began to become strong politically.
IM probably is based in THIS GOD... PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING! iMN / IM MEANS AMUN (which in english would be THE HIDDEN; THE UNSEEN; THE OCULT; THE INVISIBLE!!!!)
--Nefertiti, whose name means "a beautiful woman has come," was the queen of Egypt and wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten during the 14th century B.C. (1353-1336 B.C.) She and her husband established the cult of Aten, the SUN GOD (IS IT NIKA?), and promoted Egyptian artwork that was radically different from its predecessors... (SOMETHING similar FOR U GUYS?)(PONEGLIPHS)
Akhenaten (her husband) Before the fifth year of his reign, he was known as Amenhotep IV (Ancient Egyptian: imn-ḥtp (IMN PRONOUNCED IM, meaning "Amun is satisfied"); Akhenaten is noted for abandoning Egypt's traditional polytheism and introducing Atenism, or worship centered around Aten ( SUN GOD), reason why he CHANGED HIS NAME from Amenhotep to Akhenaten meaning "Effective for the Aten". (Changed The GOD AMUN IM (who was really strong); TO THE SUN GOD - ATEN) in whole egypt Aten should be worshiped from now on! This culture shift away from traditional religion was not widely accepted. After his death, Akhenaten's monuments were dismantled and hidden, his statues were destroyed, and his name excluded from lists of rulers compiled by later pharaohs.Traditional religious practice was gradually restored, notably under his close successor Tutankhamun (VOID CENTURY IS IT U????) Rulers without clear rights of succession from the founded a new dynasty, they discredited Akhenaten and his immediate successors and referred to Akhenaten as "the enemy" or "that criminal" in archival records(MMM SIMILAR TO SOMETHING WE ALL KNOW DONT U AGREE?)
Akhenaten's rediscovery and Flinders Petrie's early excavations at Amarna sparked great public interest in the pharaoh and his queen Nefertiti. He has been described as "enigmatic", "mysterious", "revolutionary", "the greatest idealist of the world", and "the first individual in history",(JOY BOY...?), but also as a "heretic", "fanatic", "possibly insane", and "mad"(OR LIAR NORLAND... MAYBE BOTH, MAYBE JOYBOY... WHO KNOWS...?).The interest comes from his connection with Tutankhamun, the unique style and high quality of the pictorial arts he patronized, and ongoing interest in the religion he attempted to establish...
HE AND NEFERTITI HAD 6 DAUGHTERS, with the specullation with speculation that they may have also had a son... (DONT EVEN ASK ME IF THIS IS RELEVANT OR NOT LOL)... BUT... Akhenaten possibly HAD A BASTARD (JON SNOW?!! Nonononono...), with one of NEFERTITIS SISTERS, who was NAMED: Tutankhaten...
MAY WE CONTINUE! OK HERE WE GO:
Tutankhaten, "the living image of Aten", at the time of his birth, ancient Egypt was going through great social and political upheaval. Tutankhaten's father had forbidden the worship of many gods in favor of worshiping one, Aten, the sun disk. For this, he is known as the "heretic king. As the power struggle between old and new intensified. Following a 17-year reign, he was gone, probably forced to abdicate, and died soon after. His nine-year-old son, Tutankhaten, took over around 1332 B.C. ... After taking power, the boy king changed his name to Tutankhamun, which means "the living image of Amun." ( ARE U HERE YET? HAHAH). He married one of his half sisters (CHILD OF NEFERTITI). While the young couple had no surviving children, it is known they had two daughters, both likely to have been stillborn...
HE was CALLED THE BOY KING (MMM THATS SUSPICIOUS)... King Tut had the royal court moved back to Thebes. He sought to restore the old order (or was him manipulated since childhood to do it? mmmm lets see), hoping that the gods would once again look favorably on Egypt. He ordered the repair of the holy sites and continued construction at the temple of Karnak. He also oversaw the completion of the red granite lions at Soleb. While foreign policy was neglected during Akhenaten's reign, Tutankhamun sought to restore better relations with Egypt's neighbors. While there is some evidence to suggest that Tutankhamun's diplomacy was successful, during his reign battles took place between Egypt and the Nubians and Asiatics over territory and control of trade routes.
Tutankhamun was trained in the military, and there is some evidence that he was good at archery (DONT KNOW THE RELEVANCE BUT HERE IT IS). However, it is unlikely that he saw any military action.
BUT... behind all this fast boy life... 2 persons manipulated even who he was... Ay and Horemheb (a council man, and one military...) they were the ones who pushed the strings behind everything and who manipulated Tutankamon to be who he became, to destroy all his father story and changes... So when he Died at 19 years old from grangrane, probably because of broken leg :
- his wife Ankhesenamun contacted the king of the Hittites, asking for one of his sons as a husband. The Hittite king sent a candidate, but he died during the journey, most likely assassinated before he got to the royal palace... who sent the killers: Ay and Horembheb. Ay married her... after this anyone knows what happened to her story.
...
Thats it guys now is up to u BIG heads of ONE PIECE to discover whos who (ops hahaa) TNX for reading until here, that took me a whole night of sleep.
That may explain why Nerfetari family is treated different...
"Anything man can imagine, is a possibility in reality" Luffy's devil fruit being only limited by his imagination.
I swear Morj is secretly Oda
i think another rebuttal against luffy being the enemy of the gods while being a god himself is the parallel between gan fall and enel. both have the title of god, but gan fall truly cares about the citizens of the sky. i think this goes to show that gods aren’t a bad thing, it’s what is done with the title. we see these same ideas in almost every arc that contrasts kings as well i.e dressrosa or drum island
Finally someone said.
Goda arents necessarily evil, the self proclaimed God's like celestial fmdragobs are at fault for such misinterpretation

Lol , I'm currently at Dressrosa . I will surely read it once i catch up with one piece
Skypia is a very important arc in the story of One Piece as it holds very strong ties to the Void Century most likely. But I still think it was one of the most boring arcs. I'm not a big fan of Skypia.

How the hell they're willing to skip Skypiea. It is one of the best arcs, the most adventurous.
@@maruko8324 I don’t know about one of the best, but it definitely embodies most of what one piece is
@@yarnhatter1632 it is one of the best arc,it's ending is the only one in the entire series other then Enis lobby which gave me so many goosebumps
@@rahulsambyal6583 most pre time skip arcs ended in a way better way, alabasta luffy made an earthquake by punching crocodile so hard, Jaya luffy turned into one punch man, sabaody was the beginning of Vietnam for luffy and the downfall of the straw hats, marine ford is self explanatory, obviously enies lobby, arlong park luffy kicked arlong through multiple floors destroying an entire complex, Baratie (probably not how you spell it) we got the only emotional parting from a straw hat to the people they knew before.
Those are the only ones I remember but there’s probably more, my point is nothing was special about skypiea except the adventure vibe it was really boring for the most part.
This feels like one of Morj's classic videos. Very well written and detailed analysis.

And skypea really was a treasure island kind of story and I loved it.
boy this aged well
14:35 I actually prefer the finnish translation of this scene in the manga. In here, Enel asks "Pirate King? What country does he rule?". But in finnish translation the choise of words is different: "Merirosvokuningas? Mitäs se sellainen hallitsee?" - "Pirate King? What does that rules over?"
To which Luffy answers "Kaikkia maailman meriä", in english "All the seas in the world".
That choise of words just makes it so much cooler, that Luffy even more clearly claims to Enel that he as a Pirate King will rule not only Blue Sea, but also this mystical White Sea up in the sky, where Enel claims to be a God.
How many languages do you speak?
@@Rude_Boi finnish as native, english, some swedish. I also tooked french in junior high but I cant say I speak it. Why you ask?
one thing i love about the end of skypiea is when luffy destroys the raigou. not only does he bring the sun, but the gold ball on luffy’s hand literally makes him look like the sun coming through the clouds. i think that towards the end of the story that scene is going to be paralleled in someway. it’s one of the most potent visual metaphors in the story imo
Maybe try seeing the last one piece episode.. You'll how it can be paralleled... It was literally like sun was behind luffy when he used red hawk
@@PRASANNAART-kb5qrand bow we got gear 5
A cool detail-
“Raigo” is a term that comes from a Buddhism-related religion and refers to the buddha descending to the earth and welcoming his followers into ascension with him.
Very cool that Enel’s raigo was a giant thundercloud that descended from the sky
2 years later and you couldn’t have called it more on point
funny thing is that back in the day in the early 2000s when I watched one piece I used to believe that One Piece ended at skypea
that was a brilliant analysis!
Almost a year later, everything is still true.
Shocked at how well this aged, especially with (spoilers)
The recent development with a certain country that "never existed" and Enel's powers to strike citizens down from his throne.
I wonder if enel's godly retribution is some other form of mother flame
Finally, Skypiea it's receibing the respect and apreciation that needs, its not just a cannon filler, it´s the ark that show us everything Oda will give us in his history!!!!
It's never been a mere canon filler... just remember the poneglyph beneath the bell and Roger's words... it may not be as important for the big picture as other places like Wano or Fishmen island...but Skypiea was and will surely be crucial for the final explanation of One Piece mysteries
@@paolobrambilla4958 how it is a filler arc?
@@ChristianAuditore14 it is not a filler.... as the video said, many people consider Skypiea arc as a canon filler, something not relatable to the rest of the story but still present in the manga, such as Long Eing Long Land. But that's obviously not true
@@ChristianAuditore14 Because dumb people used to say that because the Skypiea conflict didn’t have any ripple effect in the world at large at the time (no schichibukai, no world government, no younkou, no big revelation) that you could “skip it” 🙄 it has always been one of those annoying things that you saw around from time to time in the community.

I want to smoke the same shit Oda smokes. I think Oda should gain a Nobel prize for literature. Brahhhh. Oda is woke! He told the bigger picture story in a smaller story arc. This is just one thing of all the stuff he writes/draws.
Definitely, one of the best authors of our time.
His mind expands over the whole span of the universe
You could argue that he's just rehashing the same overarching plots, therefore he's not a great writer.
@@biologydoesntlie4093 that’s just following the themes of the story, it wouldn’t make any sense if he changed the core concepts of the series and it would likely alienate fans who would be confused
@@Soosss How would using new themes alienate fans? That makes no sense unless the themes he chose were garbage. He used new themes from the east blue to the grand line I don't see you complaining about that. But in the new world he's just rehashing old themes
Knowing that in oda's mind at the beginning there was no warlord of the sea, Skipea was probably the "wano" of the original story Oda had in mind so it makes a lot of sense that it is still a very important arc for the narrative of the whole story
This video aged like fine wine my man
Oda's brain is so goddamn big, Its amazing how the "filler arc" that every one skips increasingly becomes one of the most important arcs in the story.

@@Brenno_860 believe it or not I've heard of people who skipped the entire series and began watching only in "hype" moments like the Wano arc. it's a big world, there are many weirdos out there

You are a literal god predicting this 8 months ago!
I honestly think "The enemy of God" thing continues a theme One Piece has with deception. Ace curses himself for having the blood of a devil and yet Gold Roger was a great man. Oden's remembered as being a fool that danced on the streets for money and yet behind the curtains he did that to protect the people he loves. Noland died and was remembered as a liar yet everything he said turned to be true. One Piece continually tells you things only to show you the opposite. So "the enemy of God" really seems intentionally ironic.
well, some comments said this but if you think about it in some sense, 'the enemy of god is a god himself'
a clear parallel can be drawn from enel and ganfall who were both called 'god' because that is the ruler title in skypia but at the same time they both treat people differently.
in a sense, this could be seen as a parallel between the D clan and the Celestial Dragon's. Who better to be the enemy of gods than other gods

This video aged well... Good job...
It is also Interesting to see that Luffy's favourite food is Niku( meat) and he is possibly being considered to be Nika, then Sun god. It remains to be seen if Oda sensei is actually doing a word play with Kanji and Katakana 🤔🤔
If I'm not mistaken, Nika is onomatopoeia (don't know if this is the correct word) for laughter in Japanese, tie that in with Joy of Joyboy and hey, you've got something.
I've been waiting to see if someone else's thought of that as well! Glad to see I'm not the only one
and Nike is a very famous brand, maybe Oda is doing advertisement too? Not everything is word play guys, every language has words that are one letter off from each other.
@@userusernomi one piece is FULL of wordplay like this, I don’t think oda would miss the opportunity
@@userusernomi it's Oda. He's meticulous. And the story is written by a Japanese person, in Japanese. And guess what, ニカ (nika) has meaning in Japanese. I don't think it's a coincidence Oda choose that name in particular. But I won't brush aside what you said, it may very well be true. We're all just theorising here.

Next video: "How Skypiea foreshadows the ending of the Onigashima raid (spoilers: doesn't end in success)"
Wano act 3 will be luffys greatest moment of success so far with morj being defeated both literally and as a joke morj is never gonna get his wish
@Radionife Idk about that. Oda seems to be using the same formula he did with Alabasta. Luffy gets defeated multiple times by the villain (crocodile and Kaido), but then defeats them when things are at its worst (bomb about to blow and onigashima about to fall down). So my bet is that the next time Luffy fights Kaido he will defeat him, but onigashima will still fall since it’s been implied multiple times by Oda that the cycle needs to be destroyed or reset in order for a country to rebuild.
So no, the raid will not end in failure, although I do think onigashima will still fall down.
@Radionife No emotional stake? Hun? Kaido not only killed Oden (which everyone in Wano loved) but is also the reason why Wano is literally in a state of tyranny. In fact the emotional stakes are even more similar to Alabasta since both are about liberating their countries from a tyrannical ruler. So really, you just further proved my point by bringing that up.
I mean I can keep going with the similarities: Luffy brings rain to Alabasta vs Luffy bringing food to the starving citizens in Wano + opening its borders. Vivi=Princess that needs to liberate her country. Momo=prince/next shogun that needs to liberate his country.
The emotional stakes are almost identical lol.
@Radionife I get what you're saying, but I think that's only true regarding the straw hats. The scabbards, Momo and the country itself (maybe Yamato will join in the emotional bandwagon with a flashback) are pretty much the emotional core of this arc, and I think it's a pretty good one honestly, since I didn't really care about them until this arc but now Kanjuro's betrayal or Kinemon's sacrifice really had a huge impact.
Anyways I don't think it'll fail, but this arc is still far from finished, much is still to come during the raid.
@@jayyaudio Also, those are 2 very generic examples? I mean, Skypiea and Saboady aren't similar just because Luffy punched "gods" in the face.

I always thought of Skypiea Saga as a condensed version of the entire One Piece story and it looks like i was right.
What great timing, I needed something to listen to while driving to my next job. Thanks.
At least we can put a end to the "should I skip Skypea?" question...
It was always my favorite arc, by far, I always loved it and I watched one piece up to that point multiple times.
What kind of losers were skipping Skypea? 🤦♀️
It's interesting that it's never gets dark at Enies Lobby with this whole sun and dawn thing
One piece is like poetry, it rimes
It's about family. And that's what's so powerful about it.
Both a star wars and a fast and furious referance in a single comment reply chain
@Pedro Caldas that's exactly what it is.
Skypiea is like The Return of the Sith. Initially hated but gets more appreciation with time
Great vid, music was really good too...Skypeia really is the Blueprint for this entire series...I think there's more related to Skypeia that you didn't cover, but what you did cover I think was spot on.
you are right bro , chapter 1044 is out and luffy is a sun god nika ^^
Chap 1044 - your analysis has become reality my friend
I love Skypiea and Eneru it's underrated glad to see a video on it
bro just found this video and was shocked to see the date it was made congrats for having such good insight man especially with what's been happening with the most recent chapters can't wait to see what else u make
Gear fourth's flames are reminiscent of the sun
Morj, this was a beautiful analysis! It moved me
Who's here after 1044?!
Morj analysis vids are truly the best
I was here before 1044 achievement
Oda's editor: you just wrote the best arc up to this point, where do we go now.
Oda: to the sky
Skypia is the peak of adventure...it has to be an important arc in a series about adventure
Bro is literally a fortune teller. Can’t believe he predicted Gear 5 accurately 2 years ago!
This aged like fine wine
Outside of monotheism, the idea of gods fighting and overthrowing each other is quite prevalent. So a god fighting other gods is no contradiction in any way. It's all stories about heroes and strife.
After reading chapter 1044 good shit bro lmao
