This is by far the best, most interesting, most well thought-out and put together, and most convincing One Piece Theory I've witnessed BY FAR. You cooked HEAVY with this
Thank you!!! For including Tama (Young)Momo Yamato Carrot and Bonney!!! These characters if any. Needed to be on the crew permanently. Honestly after sometime. Eventually Colon will be added to this list.
I'm going to be 100% with you, there is a good chance I'm wrong about that point. Another commenter brought up an Oda quote I've never seen before. “I never thought “One Piece” would last this long: When I began, I imagined it might run for five years. But it was my first time doing something serialized, and I found that as I kept writing, the characters took on lives of their own. Before I knew it, they were writing the story for me, and it just kept going.” Oda makes it sound here like he did plan for it to be 5 years at the time of serialization. This doesn't change the vast majority of my theory mind you, the other connections I mentioned are still there, but that quote definitely makes that specific claim more flimsy. Now my personal opinion, Oda is either straight up lying, or he's talking about the development period before it was officially serialized. Oda has confirmed he has had the ending planned from the beginning, and in this case that would include the 31 crewmates, which I believe I make a pretty strong case for in this video. I doubt Oda would think that would only take 5 years. Oda likes to paint himself as a "Discovery writer" (writer who makes it up as he goes along) but he did have the ending planned, and the foreshadowing in One Piece is so dense and layered that I don't buy his claim. Not that he never made things up on the spot, but he does way more planning than he lets on, and more than most writers in general. However I would have never made this claim if I had seen that Oda quote, even if I believe otherwise.
@@freeaz93 I'm more convinced of the more standard narrative that Oda abandoned the five-year plan at Baratie; but I do think even before then he was naiive about how long One Piece was going to take. He would still have needed to visit multiple islands in both halves of the grand line to make them feel like fleshed-out worlds, and on top of the four emperors he would have needed some kind of world government plot to cement the 'pirate' theme; as the whole point of pirates are that they are criminals.
If Sabo is the narrator of One Piece (which he might be, you make a good point), he wasn't there for 99% of the events he's narrating anyway lol. Makes more sense that New Marineford would be Luffy stopping his other brother's execution. That or it's Yamato, who will likely write the log of Luffy's Journey. Is it really "writing" a great story if you're just writing your brother's life?
I thought this video would be a joke and didn’t see how long it was until I clicked. Little did I know it would be the best one piece theory I’ve seen since I got into the series. Thanks for making this! I’ll definitely be watching the next one when it comes out
if you think orochi's devil fruit can allow blackbeard to eat 5 more devil fruits, I can imagine a situation where blackbeards about to be defeated and then chomps on 5 of his crewmates stealing their fruits
I can’t overstate how much I love this all theory & particularly your speculations on the reincorporation of the Davy Back fights & Blackbeard’s ultimate fate. I think it’s a particularly dark & cruel fate that nonetheless fits for the story’s end and which I feel is genuinely fitting for the character of Blackbeard and Imu to be honest if either or both ended up that way. In many ways, I personally feel it’s even more thematically appropriate for Imu to specifically be the one pinned under what was essentially their throne which was the symbol of subjugation of the world turning on them & locking them forever in the flooded wasteland they brought about & hid from the world
Never considered that, but if there is no way to get rid of Imu's immortality, you're likely right. The Straw Hats might leave Imu in Mary Geoise and they will sink with the city when the weapon on God Valley goes off.
By far one of the best theories in One Piece and the video and thumbnail artwork are also stunning! Credit where credit is due this theory sounds too good to be true. I hope it happens similar to this at the end of One Piece however because it would truly elevate an already stellar series to have a truly satisfying ending to One Piece.
Don't you realize the reason this theory is so "amazing" is because most of these connections and evidence are truly there? Its more like 85% of this video WILL happen.
I can tell this is an amazing video because it makes me so excited to see where One Piece goes next to the point of being sad time passes so slowly that I may have to wait 5-10 years (or more, knowing this series) to see how it ends. Can't wait for that next video about the One Piece solar system you mentioned.
Oda could still do something like not revealing what the One Piece is until the last chapter and have a sort of flashback to when Luffy found it on Laugh Tale
50:34 -50:32 The People on Enel's native island, Birka, revere and worship the Moon. Uroge used to be one of his Priests, and is also implied to have some sort of relationship with the moon. Luffy and Nika represent the sun, which makes Blackbeard, who has so blatantly been shown to be a counterpart and opposite of Luffy, the Moon, which Enel and Uroge revere so much. So it's actually very likely Uroge will come to revere Blackbeard in the future. Also, Caribou's obsession parallel's Bartholomew, but Barto isn't actually part of the Straw Hat crew, he's part of the Grand Fleet.
This is a very good point. Thank you for bringing this up. I talk a lot about the planets later in the video, I'm not 100% on if Blackbeard represents the Moon, because Law does as well on Luffy's crew. I'm going to talk about it more in my next video so this is very good to know.
I think you actually just helped me come to a major realization. I've been debating for awhile on whether or not there were Blackbeard Crewmates that were candidates for the Celetial Incarnations, and if Blackbeard had his own crew's worth of planets. I didn't have anything concrete until the most recent chapter though(1136). Blackbeard is the moon, and Loki is the sun on Blackbeards crew. Loki is the god of destruction to Luffy's god of liberation. You can see Loki in the Nika pose in the arson flashback, and even their names sound alike. Luffy, Loki. Before now I didn't have anything concrete for the other Blackbeard Pirates and the other planets, and I didn't know how the Ancient Weapon powers worked, so I erred on the side of Blackbeard as the eclipse.
holy shit this needs 100x more views i usually dont agree with theories but this was CONVINCING convinving. you brought so much evidence to every point
Easily the most well thought out and researched theory I've heard. I don't think there's a single part of it I disagree with. Thank you for this video!
I've always been subscribed to the Sunny-Go 13 theory and thought it was 4 new crewmates for each sea but that ending that you theorised sounds like an amazing ending for One Piece
When i was watching the video, i noticed how this theory really looked like how deltarune theorists look at every single detail to predict the next DR chapters, with videos up to 6+ hours of content (eg. The Device theory) So, i wasnt surprised how this channel is also for deltarune theories! Really amazing how this video shows how the serious analysis of someone who also analysis deltarune translates so greatly to one piece as well. Great work!
I appreciate it! I only have 1 DR theory right now and it will likely stay that way, but its nice hearing something good about it for once. There is literally a whole discord server that hates on my DR theory lol
What a great video. I didn’t even notice how long I was listening, the time just flew by. Now I‘m hoping this will become true. Also, I really liked your own dream too!
I'm going to be honest, I really hope One Piece doesn't end with the crew going into space. That's how Toriko ended and, considering Oda once called that series his rival during the height of its popularity, it would come off as more him copying someone elses homework. I mean, granted Toriko absolutely fell apart bad after it's time skip to the point the anime had the good sense to end before it had to commit to dealing with all that but what we had before that was enough to warrant several crossovers with not only One Piece but Dragon Ball as well. I kinda would like to enjoy the end of this journey and not be reminded past disappointments.
I feel like the main problem with post-skip Toriko is the author was forced to rush it. Oda won't have that problem because he has the clout to take as long as he needs to. (Not that this theory is correct though, it seems rather convoluted).
Toriko is easily top 10 manga of all time also the strongest hax verse in history what u can rewrite the story n u wrote me out of existence boom minority world u just wrote urself out existence 😂😂😂 the anime would have never been able to anime how huge the scale gets well enough not at that time if it got a rework its would be insane
I like this a lot, especially since I had been theorizing that Smoker and Tashigi will be joining the crew and that Raftel is in the Reverse Moutain since 2012 I would say though most parts, especially the 31 crewmembers and Gaimon being somewhere in the New World etc... are a bit headcanon-ish but still a good theory dude.
In this case I am just a conduit for Oda's lunacy and genius. I have my own ambitions, in a lot of ways I plan to outdo Oda. However with One Piece Oda has done something on a level I will never be able to achieve because it involves dedicating yourself to one project for 30+ years. People like Oda and Brandon Sanderson are on a level all their own.
Maybe this is not the best place to make this comment and I'm sorry if that's the case, however I am not sure where to make it otherwise. I just wanted to thank you dearly. Not only for the really well researched, structured and enjoyable video, but also for you and your mission, addressing specifically your message at the end of the video. To me, you sound like a wonderful person, with a strong sense of honor, respectable values and overall really interesting personality, and, in the same way I support and share Luffy's and Oda's dreams about world peace and joy, I do the same with your dream of musical freedom. I cannot quite put my finger onto why exactly, but your video really uplifted my morale and I really wished to share this with you. Keep up your work, I have no doubts you will fulfill whatever dreams you have and I wish you the absolute best!
It's completely fine for you to post that here, I really appreciate it! I'm glad some people are actually into the other stuff I'm doing, especially since becoming a true OP UA-camr never really interested me. I will say I'm not perfect, I have a temper, don't put me on too much of a pedestal lol. I have been very outspoken about my beliefs since childhood, and have been pretty consistent with my messaging. A big part of the reason I wanted to become an artist was to talk about this kind of stuff. There is a discord if you'd like to join, the link is on my channel page.
@freeaz93 I have joined the discord, although, I am somewhat lackluster when it comes to online socialization. Nevertheless, I am more than happy to be part of your community, at least to some regard :) Also, I am not trying to put you on a pedestal. But I don't feel bad about pointing out what felt inspiring from your video and speech. It really gave me some hope and helped me with my low morale. I think it's a very common sentiment to feel hopeless and like there's no way to achieve much nowadays, and unfortunately, that affects me too. But seeing you actively pursuing whatever makes you happy and whatever you care about simply made my day :)
This is a really cool theory even if I don't fully agree with it or think will happen. So thanks for making it and you brought up some really great points in it. Things I disagree with and believe strongly are incorrect are Oda is an amazing writer but not perfect. He's pantser writer with a strong planning side to him and creative genius who comes up with things as he goes like with the structure of One Piece or the Supernovas. His 5 year statement is fully true and One Piece simply went on longer than expected and I feel your overthinking this. Also Carrot is the preplanned 10th straw hat not Vivi who was an unplanned character for One Piece if you look at her creation story in the databooks, all the Carrot evidence is there like Gabiru Rat explained in his videos vol 88 her alongside the Straw Hats cover, chapter 888, Oda being born Year of the Rabbit, volume 8 authors note etc.
Oooooohhhhh. Of course it was you. You really are a troll. I don't think you're hopeless kid, but you really need to stop acting like this. You act blatantly disrespectful and expect people to just take it. And before you go "You were disrespectful too!", why don't you reflect on who started this shit. Lemongrab isn't a good role model kid, he's annoying as fuck and not very smart lol
@freeaz93 By "starting ts" you mean me asking you why Killer and Bepo aren't on the crew and Law and Kid are? And then you whining bc your pattern theory is stupid af and me picking it apart? Dawg just lock in If you're getting this offended over someone criticizing a section of your theory you just need to toughen up
Bro, it didn't "start" when you criticized it, it started when you started being really condescending and annoying about it. I've had people criticise my theory without being a dick and I was fine with it. You think your passive aggressive BS is okay. You legit started from the FIRST message you sent, saying it wasn't "reasonable" for me to think they wouldn't join, when you hadn't even heard the "reasoning". You get treated like this because you throw subtle jabs in your messaging demeaning the other person. It's insulting and disrespectful.
And if you want to be really real here the very first comment you posted on this is the perfect example of that. Didn't even hear my theory and you just had to post some demeaning comment. "This'll never happen" lol
@@freeaz93 By "condescending" You mean me sending a gif of a guy shaking his head And me saying it was dumb to think the mural with Loki and Imu wasn't actually Loki and Imu lol And I wasn't even condescending when I said it was dumb since I never called you dumb I said it was dumb to think that And legit when I began to talk to you I was completely respectful It was when you started being thick And not processing basic info I legit asked you for the reasoning after I said that I said "there's no reasonable explanation why kid and law are without killer and Bepo unless they die Mind telling me why you think that" You told me why And it was off the basis of your pattern Which makes barely any sense Also like I said before if you're getting your feelings hurt because someone criticizes a part of your theory,says something you said was dumb,and sends a gif of a guy shaking his head You need to toughen up
If the Grand Fleet was meant to join the crew, then Bellamy would have just joined it too. The Grand Fleet is made to be something separate, I don't think any of them will join.
Love this overall video, the only thing I'm uncertain/completely disagree about is Rob Lucci & Kaku joining the blackbeard pirates due to the nature of his crew betraying & backstabbing each other, which they have another experienced within egghead. Plus I just want to see Lucci & Kaku laughing within the thumbnail art because it'd be so adorable & worth it.
None of this will happen soon, but maybe near the end of the story. I think Bonnie's story is over and her having to fight more would be a tragedy after finally achieving her dream. But she could totally join the grand fleet with her crew and father.
I think the biggest problem with these theories is simply time. Especially considering Odas pacing post time-skip. If Oda would follow through most of these theories it would take him another 20+ years. Although, I think you have some interesting ideas and could definitely see some of them work. I would love to see the open ending of Luffy becoming a space pirate (such a neat idea that works on so many levels) a space arc might instead come much earlier which could easily mirror Skypeia arc. While Luffy and his crew are uncovering more secrets beyond their normal earth a lot will happen while they are gone. Could also do a clever timeskip this way, f.ex time is going differently outside their planet so instead of them being gone for 2 weeks they might be gone for 2 years. This would give Oda the opportunity to make weaker characters much stronger during that time while also having the opportunity to do interesting world building. With that said, solid theories and interesting perspective!
Bonney is a walking timeskip so that's not really necessary. When she learns to fully control her powers she can age the entire crew up to their primes from the best timeline. As for the time thing, I see this taking about 10 years. Never trust Oda on how long One Piece will take, especially when he means the title change when he's talking about the "ending". Finally, I don't think Oda is willing to compromise with his art. I have a feeling he thought the series would be farther along now, but he's not willing to cut too much in order to save time. I think he would rather die before the ending than not have his full vision realized, even if posthumously. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but I think its the type of artist Oda is.
@@freeaz93 That's a very good point with Bonney. Yeah, maybe 10 years is more manageable, although I do worry a bit due to his health so it could easily be an extra year or two. Hopefully he will have the strength to finish the story as intended. And I agree with you, Oda wouldn't cut anything that he deems essential.
God i love long One Piece Theory videos So, some things I completely agree with, some are very likely to happen, some are possible and would be interesting to see, but there are some big leaps which I don't really see happening But, let's be honest, that's the beauty of theories, you always have to try to look at things from a thousand different viewpoints Tl;dr - good theory, had fun, will be waiting to see if this dude predicted anything 👍🏽
This would make for an absolutely insane final saga that completely abandons one piece’s current story structure, I personally can’t wait to see if this pans out
I mean I based this ON One Piece's current story structure. If Oda hadn't done all these mirrors of previous arcs, I wouldn't have been able to figure out the structure of the "Final Saga".
I might not agree with your theory, but I would certainly love to see some elements from it. If none of it happens like this, I hope someone writes something like this.
I'm a musician but I would consider my main talent writing and storytelling, I'm most proud of my lyrics. I do plan to create a comic series in the future, so you probably will see similar elements in it. Though to do what One Piece does you need to devote your life to one project for 30+ years. What Oda has done here is almost impossible to achieve convincingly in a shorter time frame.
1:27:24 so what you’re saying is that Blackbeard will become a JRPG Final Boss that Luffy will have to defeat with the power of friendship? Yeah that tracks
@Tankirb I honestly don't know exactly what will happen to Kitetsu II, there's an argument that Zoro will make his Kitetsu the strongest. It's possible Shiryu actually gets Kitetsu II during the Return to Wano, then Zoro & Shiryu fight there. I just said Zoro gets it because it is the obvious and easy answer. Something will happen with Kitetsu II is the point.
A huge issue with this theory is it assumes Luffy already knew what the One Piece was as a kid (if his 'dream' is to line the planets up). It seems more likely that Luffy saw the One Piece as a way of gaining influence amongst pirates to do whatever he wanted to do; without knowing precisely what the One Piece is.
I never once said Luffy's dream was to line up the planets...I think it's the throw the biggest party in the world. I also don't think Luffy knows what the One Piece is at all.
I mean we've already seen him in drag. Also if he's Venus then he's the goddess of love, sadly his entire chivalry and perviness schtick might have been how Oda chose to manifest this.
Interesting video, although there are still a few things I question about some of the aspects events and crew compositions, but can’t say it now, because it would be too long. But the ending reminded me a lot of Toriko’s ending, where they beat the final villain and then the characters make preparations for a Space Adventure. And since both mangakas are close friends, maybe it a side reference.
I honestly think that was always planned to be the ending. The cosmic elements of One Piece got established pretty early, with the introduction of the Ancient Weapons and the Gorosei the arc after, before Toriko was even published. Hell you could argue stuff like Romance Dawn was always tied to the Dawn of the World and that Luffys hat was always meant to be the sun on the horizon, and that's chapter 1 shit.
Imagine if they split up. Grand fleet helps the revolutionaries save Sabo and Straw Hats save Vivi and after Sabo's freed they all go to back up the Straw Hats but Sabo gets there first to save Vivi at the last second
To be fair, by the time this happens (Laughtale), he will be the Pirate King and Yonko won't mean much anymore lol. Blackbeard doesn't care about being the Pirate King, so the title will definitely go to Luffy, even if BB gets to Laughtale first like some people believe.
25:44 I am watching so I won't leave a general opinion on the video before finishing it or before watching most of it at least, but I just wanted to point this out. I have liked until now almost all you said, and I'm not mad at you or anything like that, I just wanted to correct you here. In One Piece, the people with such great will power or such great ambition cannot be copied, at least not when they are alive. Rocks D. Xebec is a character that I have lately been kind of observing closely, and as the person who most understands about a certain individual in One Piece, I know that this certain individual is Rocks' actual identity, well, the actual identity is Rocks D. Xebec unless Oda says otherwise, but the fake identity or persona he created, is named "Hiruluk". That person faked his death not just once, but TWICE. He create a rare and unique persona just to hide and lie until he is prepared again, waiting for the exact moment, that is why. He cannot die, his dream and Luffy's are the same, but the wannabe Teach is just like the student Siddharta Gautama had (because guess what, exactly, the greatest character in fiction, known as "Hiruluk" but in reality is Xebec, is isnpired by Siddharta Gautama, alias Buddha/Buddhistava for his character to function in a specific way, like the narration story told by him is actually him himself, that person who had a great fortune and was such a horrible person because people made him believe so is actually him, Rocks, Hiruluk. Big Mom doesn't rely on Xebec, not because of what is intended to make people understand, which is in reality a succesful trial to make people or One Piece fans, once again, misunderstand the manga the writer is writing and fool them into making them question themselves and how didn't they think of that before when in reality it was obvious), the student was a Gautama wannabe trying to achieve enlightment through just "copying" him but having misunderstood the entire concept, rushing and doing it horribly bad, so this is Teach, a wannabe who doesn't even know his role model figure. Teach thinks Xebec wanted to be the king of the world for his same reasons but actually being king of the world means and implies saving it all, and I am not talking about something as tiny and irrelevant as humankind or the planet, but actually the cycle of fate, cycle of destiny, cycle of existence and all related to it, that is what Luffy and Rocks' dreams are all about, and to achieve that, they firmly believe their way/path is the only one existing, for Luffy, being the freest, being pirate king, being all of that, will lead to him achieving his dream, which I previosly mentioned, while for Xebec, being king of the world without any bad intentions, means a direct way to achieving his dream. I hope someone reads this and gives me his/her opinion to me so I can have a talk or chat with someone about it, an actual conversation or debate or whatever.
I initially saw this claim on the One Piece wiki, where it is still there as of the time of posting (Strawhat Pirates article under "Recruitment", First line). I think the real reason for this is a quote I bring up later, Oda definitely said he intended to introduce 10 crewmates in the first year and a half. The wiki may have extrapolated this from that quote, because the East Blue was in the first year and a half of publication. I apologize if there's no direct confirmation, I didnt intend to mislead people. I just tried to find a direct source for that specific claim and couldn't. It may be from context from Luffy in the manga, I'll try rereading the early chapters. @O.Reagano
Gaimon being at Laugh Tale is ridiculous. Sounds like something Oda would do.
This is by far the best, most interesting, most well thought-out and put together, and most convincing One Piece Theory I've witnessed BY FAR. You cooked HEAVY with this
Really I mean I think you should watch more one piece theorys
This thumbnail was tough to make, but a blast all the same! Predicting what the crew will look like by the end was a fun challenge.

26 minutes after seeing the thumbnail i thought this would be a bogus theory based off nothing but you convinced at the 10 minute mark

In many ways, I personally feel it’s even more thematically appropriate for Imu to specifically be the one pinned under what was essentially their throne which was the symbol of subjugation of the world turning on them & locking them forever in the flooded wasteland they brought about & hid from the world
Never considered that, but if there is no way to get rid of Imu's immortality, you're likely right. The Straw Hats might leave Imu in Mary Geoise and they will sink with the city when the weapon on God Valley goes off.

This is a really reasonable and juicy theory.
I hope one piece goes this way
By far one of the best theories in One Piece and the video and thumbnail artwork are also stunning! Credit where credit is due this theory sounds too good to be true. I hope it happens similar to this at the end of One Piece however because it would truly elevate an already stellar series to have a truly satisfying ending to One Piece.

50:34 -50:32
The People on Enel's native island, Birka, revere and worship the Moon. Uroge used to be one of his Priests, and is also implied to have some sort of relationship with the moon. Luffy and Nika represent the sun, which makes Blackbeard, who has so blatantly been shown to be a counterpart and opposite of Luffy, the Moon, which Enel and Uroge revere so much. So it's actually very likely Uroge will come to revere Blackbeard in the future.
Also, Caribou's obsession parallel's Bartholomew, but Barto isn't actually part of the Straw Hat crew, he's part of the Grand Fleet.
This is a very good point. Thank you for bringing this up.
I talk a lot about the planets later in the video, I'm not 100% on if Blackbeard represents the Moon, because Law does as well on Luffy's crew. I'm going to talk about it more in my next video so this is very good to know.
I think you actually just helped me come to a major realization. I've been debating for awhile on whether or not there were Blackbeard Crewmates that were candidates for the Celetial Incarnations, and if Blackbeard had his own crew's worth of planets. I didn't have anything concrete until the most recent chapter though(1136). Blackbeard is the moon, and Loki is the sun on Blackbeards crew. Loki is the god of destruction to Luffy's god of liberation. You can see Loki in the Nika pose in the arson flashback, and even their names sound alike. Luffy, Loki. Before now I didn't have anything concrete for the other Blackbeard Pirates and the other planets, and I didn't know how the Ancient Weapon powers worked, so I erred on the side of Blackbeard as the eclipse.
Genuinely the most convincing/well written theory i've heard in a while! Keep up the good work, good luck with the music
You absolutely cooked with this one! There's so many things i've not even thinked about in this that just makes sense! Damn this got me hyped up!
I clicked for the laughs but stayed for the delicious theory. Thanks man!
Good luck with the music stuff man. Awesome theory Im excited to see how it unfolds.
holy shit this needs 100x more views
i usually dont agree with theories but this was CONVINCING convinving. you brought so much evidence to every point
I appreciate it, share it if you can. If you watch my Goroawase video, there's a good chance I can prove this with math.
Easily the most well thought out and researched theory I've heard. I don't think there's a single part of it I disagree with. Thank you for this video!
I've always been subscribed to the Sunny-Go 13 theory and thought it was 4 new crewmates for each sea but that ending that you theorised sounds like an amazing ending for One Piece
Thank you! If you want to see more about the Sunny Go thing, I have another video covering the goroawase aspect of my theory.
When i was watching the video, i noticed how this theory really looked like how deltarune theorists look at every single detail to predict the next DR chapters, with videos up to 6+ hours of content (eg. The Device theory) So, i wasnt surprised how this channel is also for deltarune theories! Really amazing how this video shows how the serious analysis of someone who also analysis deltarune translates so greatly to one piece as well. Great work!
I appreciate it! I only have 1 DR theory right now and it will likely stay that way, but its nice hearing something good about it for once. There is literally a whole discord server that hates on my DR theory lol
What a great video. I didn’t even notice how long I was listening, the time just flew by. Now I‘m hoping this will become true. Also, I really liked your own dream too!
I've had the theory that this will end with luffy taking some people to space while some people staying behind for a while.
I’ve seen every version and will click on every one as well
MY GOAT HAS RETURNED
When I saw the thumbnail I had hard rejected the idea but now I can see it
best theory video ever!
I'm going to be honest, I really hope One Piece doesn't end with the crew going into space. That's how Toriko ended and, considering Oda once called that series his rival during the height of its popularity, it would come off as more him copying someone elses homework. I mean, granted Toriko absolutely fell apart bad after it's time skip to the point the anime had the good sense to end before it had to commit to dealing with all that but what we had before that was enough to warrant several crossovers with not only One Piece but Dragon Ball as well. I kinda would like to enjoy the end of this journey and not be reminded past disappointments.
I feel like the main problem with post-skip Toriko is the author was forced to rush it. Oda won't have that problem because he has the clout to take as long as he needs to.
(Not that this theory is correct though, it seems rather convoluted).
Although I think if Luffy does go into space it is more likely to mirror Skypia than Toriko.
Toriko is easily top 10 manga of all time also the strongest hax verse in history what u can rewrite the story n u wrote me out of existence boom minority world u just wrote urself out existence 😂😂😂 the anime would have never been able to anime how huge the scale gets well enough not at that time if it got a rework its would be insane
This actually makes a ton of sense surprisingly.
I like this a lot, especially since I had been theorizing that Smoker and Tashigi will be joining the crew and that Raftel is in the Reverse Moutain since 2012
I would say though most parts, especially the 31 crewmembers and Gaimon being somewhere in the New World etc... are a bit headcanon-ish but still a good theory dude.
incredibly interesting video, i’m very glad it showed up on my recommended feed
This man is a genius and a lunatic. Which all geniuses are.
In this case I am just a conduit for Oda's lunacy and genius. I have my own ambitions, in a lot of ways I plan to outdo Oda. However with One Piece Oda has done something on a level I will never be able to achieve because it involves dedicating yourself to one project for 30+ years. People like Oda and Brandon Sanderson are on a level all their own.
This is the best theory Ive ever seen, cant wait for Oda to steal all these ideas cause this is PEAK FICTION
This thumbnail feel like the very end of One piece when they are all in laugh tale
Yes, that is exactly what it was made to be. It's the "Luffy just laughed... and so did we all" scene.
Maybe this is not the best place to make this comment and I'm sorry if that's the case, however I am not sure where to make it otherwise.
I just wanted to thank you dearly. Not only for the really well researched, structured and enjoyable video, but also for you and your mission, addressing specifically your message at the end of the video. To me, you sound like a wonderful person, with a strong sense of honor, respectable values and overall really interesting personality, and, in the same way I support and share Luffy's and Oda's dreams about world peace and joy, I do the same with your dream of musical freedom.
I cannot quite put my finger onto why exactly, but your video really uplifted my morale and I really wished to share this with you.
Keep up your work, I have no doubts you will fulfill whatever dreams you have and I wish you the absolute best!
It's completely fine for you to post that here, I really appreciate it! I'm glad some people are actually into the other stuff I'm doing, especially since becoming a true OP UA-camr never really interested me.
I will say I'm not perfect, I have a temper, don't put me on too much of a pedestal lol.
I have been very outspoken about my beliefs since childhood, and have been pretty consistent with my messaging. A big part of the reason I wanted to become an artist was to talk about this kind of stuff.
There is a discord if you'd like to join, the link is on my channel page.
@freeaz93 I have joined the discord, although, I am somewhat lackluster when it comes to online socialization. Nevertheless, I am more than happy to be part of your community, at least to some regard :)
Also, I am not trying to put you on a pedestal. But I don't feel bad about pointing out what felt inspiring from your video and speech. It really gave me some hope and helped me with my low morale. I think it's a very common sentiment to feel hopeless and like there's no way to achieve much nowadays, and unfortunately, that affects me too. But seeing you actively pursuing whatever makes you happy and whatever you care about simply made my day :)
This is a really cool theory even if I don't fully agree with it or think will happen. So thanks for making it and you brought up some really great points in it. Things I disagree with and believe strongly are incorrect are Oda is an amazing writer but not perfect. He's pantser writer with a strong planning side to him and creative genius who comes up with things as he goes like with the structure of One Piece or the Supernovas. His 5 year statement is fully true and One Piece simply went on longer than expected and I feel your overthinking this. Also Carrot is the preplanned 10th straw hat not Vivi who was an unplanned character for One Piece if you look at her creation story in the databooks, all the Carrot evidence is there like Gabiru Rat explained in his videos vol 88 her alongside the Straw Hats cover, chapter 888, Oda being born Year of the Rabbit, volume 8 authors note etc.
Oh man i so so wish that it'll happen
Bro's pattern theory crumbled with a single character crazy work
Oooooohhhhh. Of course it was you. You really are a troll. I don't think you're hopeless kid, but you really need to stop acting like this. You act blatantly disrespectful and expect people to just take it.
And before you go "You were disrespectful too!", why don't you reflect on who started this shit. Lemongrab isn't a good role model kid, he's annoying as fuck and not very smart lol
@freeaz93 By "starting ts" you mean me asking you why Killer and Bepo aren't on the crew and Law and Kid are?
And then you whining bc your pattern theory is stupid af and me picking it apart?
Dawg just lock in
If you're getting this offended over someone criticizing a section of your theory you just need to toughen up
Bro, it didn't "start" when you criticized it, it started when you started being really condescending and annoying about it. I've had people criticise my theory without being a dick and I was fine with it. You think your passive aggressive BS is okay. You legit started from the FIRST message you sent, saying it wasn't "reasonable" for me to think they wouldn't join, when you hadn't even heard the "reasoning". You get treated like this because you throw subtle jabs in your messaging demeaning the other person. It's insulting and disrespectful.
And if you want to be really real here the very first comment you posted on this is the perfect example of that. Didn't even hear my theory and you just had to post some demeaning comment. "This'll never happen" lol
@@freeaz93 By "condescending"
You mean me sending a gif of a guy shaking his head
And me saying it was dumb to think the mural with Loki and Imu wasn't actually Loki and Imu lol
And I wasn't even condescending when I said it was dumb since I never called you dumb I said it was dumb to think that
And legit when I began to talk to you I was completely respectful
It was when you started being thick
And not processing basic info
I legit asked you for the reasoning after I said that I said "there's no reasonable explanation why kid and law are without killer and Bepo unless they die
Mind telling me why you think that"
You told me why
And it was off the basis of your pattern
Which makes barely any sense
Also like I said before if you're getting your feelings hurt because someone criticizes a part of your theory,says something you said was dumb,and sends a gif of a guy shaking his head
You need to toughen up
Great video. Awesome job lots of information to think on amazing
Lol what if sanjis cake changes big mom to a dude because of stuff he learned on the kammabaka kingdom and then he can fight her
I am going to bring up Sanji and the Kammabaka kingdom next video, but I honestly never considered this.
That face when none of the grand fleet is in the picture
If the Grand Fleet was meant to join the crew, then Bellamy would have just joined it too. The Grand Fleet is made to be something separate, I don't think any of them will join.
Love this overall video, the only thing I'm uncertain/completely disagree about is Rob Lucci & Kaku joining the blackbeard pirates due to the nature of his crew betraying & backstabbing each other, which they have another experienced within egghead.
Plus I just want to see Lucci & Kaku laughing within the thumbnail art because it'd be so adorable & worth it.
Lucci I am sure about, Kaku not as much, he may die before then.
None of this will happen soon, but maybe near the end of the story.
I think Bonnie's story is over and her having to fight more would be a tragedy after finally achieving her dream. But she could totally join the grand fleet with her crew and father.
I love how this gets increasingly conspiratorial lol, great vid
Not really sure what you mean by conspiratorial, did you mean to use a different word?
That's a very cool video man.
GOAT POSTING
I think the biggest problem with these theories is simply time. Especially considering Odas pacing post time-skip. If Oda would follow through most of these theories it would take him another 20+ years. Although, I think you have some interesting ideas and could definitely see some of them work. I would love to see the open ending of Luffy becoming a space pirate (such a neat idea that works on so many levels) a space arc might instead come much earlier which could easily mirror Skypeia arc. While Luffy and his crew are uncovering more secrets beyond their normal earth a lot will happen while they are gone. Could also do a clever timeskip this way, f.ex time is going differently outside their planet so instead of them being gone for 2 weeks they might be gone for 2 years. This would give Oda the opportunity to make weaker characters much stronger during that time while also having the opportunity to do interesting world building. With that said, solid theories and interesting perspective!
Bonney is a walking timeskip so that's not really necessary. When she learns to fully control her powers she can age the entire crew up to their primes from the best timeline.
As for the time thing, I see this taking about 10 years. Never trust Oda on how long One Piece will take, especially when he means the title change when he's talking about the "ending".
Finally, I don't think Oda is willing to compromise with his art. I have a feeling he thought the series would be farther along now, but he's not willing to cut too much in order to save time. I think he would rather die before the ending than not have his full vision realized, even if posthumously. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but I think its the type of artist Oda is.
@@freeaz93 That's a very good point with Bonney. Yeah, maybe 10 years is more manageable, although I do worry a bit due to his health so it could easily be an extra year or two. Hopefully he will have the strength to finish the story as intended. And I agree with you, Oda wouldn't cut anything that he deems essential.
God i love long One Piece Theory videos
So, some things I completely agree with, some are very likely to happen, some are possible and would be interesting to see, but there are some big leaps which I don't really see happening
But, let's be honest, that's the beauty of theories, you always have to try to look at things from a thousand different viewpoints
Tl;dr - good theory, had fun, will be waiting to see if this dude predicted anything 👍🏽
Okay, you actually hooked me on the flying God Valley. That'd make a great setting for the "final war".
Love this!
I was with this video and it's explanations until the last minute when you said they would go into outer space and become space pirates because wtf 😂
damn, your cooking.
i definitely see elbaph/impel down mirroring each other also
My goat is finally back 🙌
When he was needed most, HE returned! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
This would make for an absolutely insane final saga that completely abandons one piece’s current story structure, I personally can’t wait to see if this pans out
I mean I based this ON One Piece's current story structure. If Oda hadn't done all these mirrors of previous arcs, I wouldn't have been able to figure out the structure of the "Final Saga".
I might not agree with your theory, but I would certainly love to see some elements from it. If none of it happens like this, I hope someone writes something like this.
I'm a musician but I would consider my main talent writing and storytelling, I'm most proud of my lyrics. I do plan to create a comic series in the future, so you probably will see similar elements in it. Though to do what One Piece does you need to devote your life to one project for 30+ years. What Oda has done here is almost impossible to achieve convincingly in a shorter time frame.
this theory is amazing. keep it up
Awesome video!!!
mans got oda rewriting his notes
Can’t wait for two piece in space when Enel finally returns
Very good video !
1:27:24 so what you’re saying is that Blackbeard will become a JRPG Final Boss that Luffy will have to defeat with the power of friendship? Yeah that tracks
Congratulations! You just solved all of anime! And your prize is... Eternal virginity!
@@freeaz93sir I’m a One Piece fan
I already had that
1:20:40 was a fine explanation of one piece
I love this theory so much
44:40 if you want zoro to get kitetsu 2 you can probably have Kitetsu break during the davy back fight with Shiryu
@Tankirb I honestly don't know exactly what will happen to Kitetsu II, there's an argument that Zoro will make his Kitetsu the strongest. It's possible Shiryu actually gets Kitetsu II during the Return to Wano, then Zoro & Shiryu fight there. I just said Zoro gets it because it is the obvious and easy answer. Something will happen with Kitetsu II is the point.
A huge issue with this theory is it assumes Luffy already knew what the One Piece was as a kid (if his 'dream' is to line the planets up).
It seems more likely that Luffy saw the One Piece as a way of gaining influence amongst pirates to do whatever he wanted to do; without knowing precisely what the One Piece is.
I never once said Luffy's dream was to line up the planets...I think it's the throw the biggest party in the world. I also don't think Luffy knows what the One Piece is at all.
Getting the popcorn ready for this one.
Sanji being listed as Trans gave me a laughing fit.
I mean we've already seen him in drag. Also if he's Venus then he's the goddess of love, sadly his entire chivalry and perviness schtick might have been how Oda chose to manifest this.
@@freeaz93 Yeah you are right.
Awesome video. I don't believe all your theories, but the ones that I do believe were really convincing.
Bolero there means Carrot her blouse musketeer shirt for the original Straw Hat crew mate concept art.
Interesting video, although there are still a few things I question about some of the aspects events and crew compositions, but can’t say it now, because it would be too long.
But the ending reminded me a lot of Toriko’s ending, where they beat the final villain and then the characters make preparations for a Space Adventure. And since both mangakas are close friends, maybe it a side reference.
I honestly think that was always planned to be the ending. The cosmic elements of One Piece got established pretty early, with the introduction of the Ancient Weapons and the Gorosei the arc after, before Toriko was even published. Hell you could argue stuff like Romance Dawn was always tied to the Dawn of the World and that Luffys hat was always meant to be the sun on the horizon, and that's chapter 1 shit.
i beleive kizaru and enel will join luffy and be his nika weapons. i imagine luffy with a light sword and lightning spear
If this were to become true…I would cry 😢
i don’t see katakuri in the thumbnail ;-;
Imagine if they split up. Grand fleet helps the revolutionaries save Sabo and Straw Hats save Vivi and after Sabo's freed they all go to back up the Straw Hats but Sabo gets there first to save Vivi at the last second
55:43 ALL 4 YONKO ARE GOING TO DO WHAT?!
HAVE AN ORGY!
I think I made that pretty clear in the video, I shouldn't have to repeat myself.
This is actually peak
36:50 wait this would actually be so damn cool
Compared to other yonko crews he has so few members so i agree i feel like he needs a bigger crew
To be fair, by the time this happens (Laughtale), he will be the Pirate King and Yonko won't mean much anymore lol. Blackbeard doesn't care about being the Pirate King, so the title will definitely go to Luffy, even if BB gets to Laughtale first like some people believe.
You must be some type of time traveller or something.
Nah, it's just a combination of a deep passion for storytelling, and drugs.
25:44 I am watching so I won't leave a general opinion on the video before finishing it or before watching most of it at least, but I just wanted to point this out. I have liked until now almost all you said, and I'm not mad at you or anything like that, I just wanted to correct you here. In One Piece, the people with such great will power or such great ambition cannot be copied, at least not when they are alive. Rocks D. Xebec is a character that I have lately been kind of observing closely, and as the person who most understands about a certain individual in One Piece, I know that this certain individual is Rocks' actual identity, well, the actual identity is Rocks D. Xebec unless Oda says otherwise, but the fake identity or persona he created, is named "Hiruluk". That person faked his death not just once, but TWICE. He create a rare and unique persona just to hide and lie until he is prepared again, waiting for the exact moment, that is why. He cannot die, his dream and Luffy's are the same, but the wannabe Teach is just like the student Siddharta Gautama had (because guess what, exactly, the greatest character in fiction, known as "Hiruluk" but in reality is Xebec, is isnpired by Siddharta Gautama, alias Buddha/Buddhistava for his character to function in a specific way, like the narration story told by him is actually him himself, that person who had a great fortune and was such a horrible person because people made him believe so is actually him, Rocks, Hiruluk. Big Mom doesn't rely on Xebec, not because of what is intended to make people understand, which is in reality a succesful trial to make people or One Piece fans, once again, misunderstand the manga the writer is writing and fool them into making them question themselves and how didn't they think of that before when in reality it was obvious), the student was a Gautama wannabe trying to achieve enlightment through just "copying" him but having misunderstood the entire concept, rushing and doing it horribly bad, so this is Teach, a wannabe who doesn't even know his role model figure. Teach thinks Xebec wanted to be the king of the world for his same reasons but actually being king of the world means and implies saving it all, and I am not talking about something as tiny and irrelevant as humankind or the planet, but actually the cycle of fate, cycle of destiny, cycle of existence and all related to it, that is what Luffy and Rocks' dreams are all about, and to achieve that, they firmly believe their way/path is the only one existing, for Luffy, being the freest, being pirate king, being all of that, will lead to him achieving his dream, which I previosly mentioned, while for Xebec, being king of the world without any bad intentions, means a direct way to achieving his dream. I hope someone reads this and gives me his/her opinion to me so I can have a talk or chat with someone about it, an actual conversation or debate or whatever.
1:09 Source? I’ve never heard this before
I initially saw this claim on the One Piece wiki, where it is still there as of the time of posting (Strawhat Pirates article under "Recruitment", First line). I think the real reason for this is a quote I bring up later, Oda definitely said he intended to introduce 10 crewmates in the first year and a half. The wiki may have extrapolated this from that quote, because the East Blue was in the first year and a half of publication.
I apologize if there's no direct confirmation, I didnt intend to mislead people. I just tried to find a direct source for that specific claim and couldn't. It may be from context from Luffy in the manga, I'll try rereading the early chapters. @O.Reagano
@ Ah thank you
I was so invested omg...
amazing, bro
