Oda was young when he started writing One Piece, I sometimes think he deserves more credit for his religion/history studies than story writing. The dude draws parallels between all of human history and beliefs like it's nothing. Straight philisophy.

super late to this vid but on the topic of swirls important to OP (ie water/sea , devil fruits and souls) when including music into making devil fruits have we considered the treble clef which is usually at the beginning of music pieces? 🎼
It makes sense that the lunarians were allies with the real joyboy because kaido thought himself to be joyboy and king followed him at the beginning because of that very thinking
An interesting link, but King followed Kaido because he owed him his life and was inspired by his power and confidence in being able to change the world. He only came to believe Kaido might be Joy Boy a while later and notably didn't take the idea very seriously, going so far as to say legends are just legends, and the only thing that mattered to him was that Kaido remained the strongest. Even claiming Joy Boy would never come since he'd have to defeat Kaido.

I just finished the video and I gotta say this was your best work yet. You managed to intricately weave all of the information into a great presentation. I really appreciate the shout out at the end--it was awesome being able to theory-craft some of this with you, and you went above and beyond with the results. Love you to the end brother ❤
Here's a little thing I thought of that might add to your theory. I always liked how in a series about humor and laughter each character has a unique laugh, which funnily enough means every character has a unique song to them. The rhythm and pitches of the laughs are generally so distinctive that it might as well be their soul song. Then you have devil fruits, whose names are often taken from real world Japanese sound effects, i.e. unique songs. Combined with the fact that many characters "laugh song" are influenced by their devil fruit songs (Whitebeard's Gurararara, and Kaido's Worororororo) and you have something interesting there. Also, now that I think of it, that may have something to do with awakenings as both of those characters are (probably) awakened. Who knows. Final thought is that maybe the One Piece is a "piece" of music, where all "songs" (laughs) of the world are joined in harmony. Might fit with Oda's wish for World Peace. Or maybe it's an aspect or "piece" of the overall ONE PIECE. I had fun writing these so thanks for the cool theory my brain could play with.
Does that mean luffy’s laugh I’d gonna end up being “Gomumumumumumumumumu!” Or “Nikakakakakakakakakakakakakaka!”, btw I’m not disrespecting what you’re adding on, I actually like that idea, I just tryna say it would be funny, I especially like it if his laugh would end up being “Nikakakakakakaka” cus his fruit is the Nika fruit
I love that since the moon gets it's light from the sun and simply reflects it, the idea of a sun god bringing light to the moon people hits a lot harder, and for them to use this light of the sun to create powerful fruits, it fits even better. Amazing vid!
This is the most coherent, well put together and thorough theory video I have seen in years, aside from other content you've done. The way you put the information/idea's together is incredible. To me this is simply my new headcannon, there's too much clean logic in this for it not to be atleast very close to on the nail.
I also like the idea that Nika’s final wish would be to become a fruit, so I’d like to say he might not have been the only one who knew how to make it or it could be he knew he was dying and his final act was to become a fruit.
I bet the real Kuma is really inside the "defective" Seraphim Kuma. That's why he's not responding to orders from Marines/WG. If Kuma was Lunarian or partially. This "unknown" race could be that with him being brown skinned and big (King has huge too).
I feel like the original devil fruits didn't necessarily have a weakness to the sea and that the weakness was a curse placed upon them after some type of betrayal
that is basically what it is imo too, and last chapter kinda confirmed this theory that devil fruits defying the natural logic of "mother nature" was cursed by her now as vega said we dont know how real these gods or mother nature is, but for now it's a personification of people's dreams and thus cursed/betrayal against mother nature defying her to achieve dreams (?) [my own spin]
One thing about lunarians though is that Queen said they can thrive in any inhospitable or natural environments, which definitely means they can be strong at sea. We had Sanji who can use fire underwater (from the time he kicked the octopus)
what a video, both conclusions have such strong backing.I love when I watch a one piece video and even though id consider myself knowledgeable and a theory fiend, I see connections that just blow my mind. The music and the Bell of Shandora connection was absolutely jaw dropping. The lunarian and lucifer connection was also more in depth than any ive seen. It's amazing how well researched your videos are but I also cannot even imagine how hard it is to be as concise as you are while making an entertaining script. This is the second video of yours I've seen and your presentation and music choice make for such an amazing atmospheric experience. Cannot wait to see your next one and will be going through your library for sure. Thanks for such clear hard work.
Your content is so goddamn underrated. The amount of effort you put into it all shows, youve become my favourite One Piece channel on the whole of UA-cam. Keep up wih the good work, love to see it!!!!
Having just read through the scans of 1066, the Einstein comparison at 46:28 was more spot-on than initially anticipated. Spoilers, obviously, but the real Vegapunk's design is revealed to bear an uncanny resemblance to Albert Einstein, even posing with the iconic tongue-out face.
The way we’ve been following the trail of vegapunk’s inventions throughout this entire story helping to slowly unravel the secrets he’s learned about the world, despite having not seen him once in the first 1000 episodes is a masterclass in worldbuilding
Even if none of this turns out to be the way it is in the story, this was such a well put together and thorough idea I could hardly see it be done better.
Every single time I click on one of your videos, I'm astounded by the sheer creativity it takes to come up with this kind of stuff. You, Parvision, and Dak's Sake have become 3 of my favorite OP content creators. The ideas you each present are fantastical, fitting quite well inside the world of One Piece as we know it. Thank you for another lovely video.
Okay, I tried to look for some comments, old and new, and I didn't find this yet. Your theory was right! The only failure on Vegapunk's part was the color, he admitted it himself when he asked Luffy about the color of the dragon! But of course, it was really convenient that it was a failure and Vegapunk being so clever most likely was both a perfectionist and also knew that the government wouldn't care to research and look for a failed experiment... This video is amazing so far, it inspired me to draft something I looked for a long time ago; a Stardew Valley mod where you would raise and farm Devil Fruits using soul pieces from the environment... And this is exactly what I was needing, this insight on how Joy Boy would use music to gather and animate souls and imbue them into the tree in Marie Jois! I won't be talking too much about it, I don't even know if it's possible, but just writing about it in my notebook again was enough to make me happy. Thank you so much, hope you're doing well fr 💜💜💜
By the way, this wasn't talked about yet but I believe that the way Vegapunk created the Devil Fruits was by first gather Kuma's repulsion power. He mentioned something very specific when the flashback came, talking about the experiment where a person after dying lost a tiny bit of mass that would be the soul. That's how he was able to create a copy of his memory, pain, so on and so forth... But what if you used it on a dragon on Punk Hazard to gather its soul, or its 'voice', and put it into a fruit? Kuma wouldn't be there to use his power all the time, so first thing Vegapunk would do was research to replicate his power, next... Vegapunk discovered a different way to create Devil Fruits, but the Joyboy or Lunarians using music to gather the voice of inanimate things, concepts, and even wishes (such as being able to swim anywhere, my body being any weapon I imagine, I want to spin so fast I'll be able to fly) is amazing.
Man I'm so glad I'm caught up to the manga and anime, when I was younger I would watch Toonami all the time and my first episode was Franky's introduction in Water 7, and I watched from there all the way to the end of Thriller Bark and they were the best, I knew that it was still going strong so a lot of the stakes that dealt with the protagonists didn't concern me too much but now that the series is about over and there's all this new information coming to light I don't know what to think, I know it's a shonen and everyone will more than likely be fine, but now I'm caught up and can't be spoiled on anything and I'm sitting waiting just like everybody else who's caught up and it's an awesome feeling because it's so great to sit and theorize with everyone what the answers to everything could mean especially after the latest chapters
I love the video, would just add few more related things related to botany: - Robin has the flower fruit - giants are most likely lumberjacks because they are skilled with axes - the Tontata use land suffix - the Earth counters Enel or any electricity for that matter, so earth protects you from the gods wrath
I’m so curious what these 3 other Gods of ____ will be. Oda definitely has plans for the other three. Rain, Earth, Sun and Forest. I wish there was a video out about this that was heavily supported.
@@ReturnOfGodEnel Greenbull is definatly God of Forest, and it would be funny if he was Zoro's father lol, Sanji's father being a king and Zoro's being a God hehe. Also, Dragon is most likely Rain God (a.k.a. weather based fruit). Earth is tricky one, but I seen people saying it may be one of BB fruits. Maybe even third one, theorized to be mythical zoan as well, some kind of demon Bai-Ze who has 3 personalities/souls.
@@Masked_madness09 tough to know but I’m disappointed in green bulls character right now we will see how he would be important enough to have that fruit.
"Faulty Smiles cause people to laugh uncontrollably" That shit hit me so hard. Obviously you were talking about smile fruits but I took it as a real life thing. When you put on a fake smile to make other people happy, you tend to do happy things such as laugh a lot even though that might not be how you feel, which ties back into Smile fruits.
I really love these theories. I think music and light are not concepts that exclude one another since both are made up of waves, either light or sound. What I find fascinating about this is that, thinking about this further, it's rather likely that that's how Vegapunk split his soul apart. There's a mathematical formula (Fourier Transform) that lets you calculate the waves that make up a sound. That could be how Vegapunk split his soul, this mixture of emotions, into purer/more basic characters. What that also could result in would be some sort of resonance/harmony ability that allows the 6 parts of Vegapunk to fuse back into the original Vegapunk, in other words the docking Franky has always deamt of. Quick reminder that Frankies docking in thriller bark also involved 6 parts. It ultimately failed because Robin refused to dock. Foreshadowing? I think so!
Your video left me wondering about Blackbeard and the Yami Yami No Mi. In his fight with Ace, BB claims that's that he knew the shape and abilities of all devil fruits from a book he read (Sanji was also seen reading in a flashback) and that the Yami Yami no Mi chose him much like how the Elders claim that the Nika fruit had the will to chose its host. Plus BB has appeared the same time that we are getting details about Kuma being part of a special race. What if BB is of the same special race like Kuma and was experimented on by Vegapunk during his time in the MADs Era with Judge, Queen and Caesar. BB and Kuma have similar physical features, perhaps they have the same strange body that Marco mentioned back in Marineford, but Vegapunk was perhaps evil back then and did heinous expirements on Teach and maybe sisters, thus giving the young BB the ability to absorb more then one devil fruit. This explain why Teach kept a low profile in WB's ship while searching for the Yami yami no mi, cause he was hiding from the World Government. But this same research maybe what allows Vegapunk the chance to save Kuma.
I like the idea that the redline was green. you think its possible during the war with the lunarians they deliberately set the redline on fire destroying all the greenery in the hopes it would detract the celestial dragons but they adapted hence the breathing masks
I would say no. I don’t think the lunarians would burn something that believe is sacred. It could’ve been from the fight and their fire abilities but they didn’t deliberately set fire to their forest to dissuade their attackers.
Nah why would they burn their own land. No. It’s more likely they are space suits in some symbolism that they are trying to mirror the lunarians that can breathe in space
When you talk about everything having a soul or spirit, the Going Merry had its own spirit that tried to repair itself for more journeys and even conveniently travels a great distance to save its friends… We also see this with swords in particular the cursed swords which some consider more of a threat to you than your enemy, however like Merry to its crew, his sword wouldn’t cut off his arm because the sword would consider his ambition/skill be worthy of its use, the sword took Zoro as far as it could go just like Merry. Both the Merry and Zoro’s sword have rituals when they pass on, one in a Viking style the other a traditional burial. I think there is also something to be said about Whitebeard’s sword standing over his burial. And the shadow of a once great swordsman literally giving Zoro his sword. The spirit determines his ambition worthy of its use, the sword decides that it will take Zoro as far as it can go to fufil that ambition, whether it dies a long the way doesn’t matter because he was worthy of its aid.
I think it also means tools of great potential. Like swords, like ships, like anything that is cherished, even a straw hat, they have a will unlike a person. The tool accepts eventually it will break and cease to be useful. So it lives its life to the fullest, craving to be useful to the people that cherish it. And not every object is going to get this special treatment from... the supernatural world. It has to be legitimately special to someone. "A ship is born with only one promise, to carry her crew from shore to shore safely." - Frankie to Usopp
I always just thought of them as aspects of nature bound to a soul or object. The more in tune you become with the aspect the stronger that force becomes in the world. Like electricity doesn't work on rubber but a lightning bolt will melt it yet luffy just shrugs it off.
This is a very well thought out theory, and you made and supported your points excellently. Agree or not no one can deny the hard work you put into making and supporting your theory
Just started watching but I can already tell this is gonna slap. I have been so excited for this theory from what you’ve said during streams. Great work as always Hidden!
Hey, IDK if Oda is aware of this, but it fits your theory: the etymological root of Seraphim - which means "burning ones" - is the Hebrew "Serap", a word for serpent, snake, or viper, particularly venomous ones. This is used in Jewish mysticism in the draconic forms of angels. This is also related to why near eastern contemporaries of the Israelites, such as the Zoriastrian Persians, viewed them as dragon or serpent worshipers. Obviously this connection points to the serpent theme of the ssg seraphim based on lunarian DNA, as well as their affinity for fire RE King Also FYI seraphim are not the highest angels except in those angelologies based on Psuedo-Dionysus the Areopagite (Catholic) in De Coelesti Hierarchia or on Jacob Nazir (Jewish) in his Maseket Atzilut. Any other formula, such as the Zohar, Maimonides or other important Jewish mystic texts, only have them as the 3rd highest at most (in de Vidas' Reshit Chochmah). It's true that most Christian angelic theology is based on Dionysian angelology, so that's where the common trope comes from that Seraphim are the highest.
Great vid as always - love the evolution of the theory from last year. Too many references for this to all be a coincidence (obviously). I won't be shocked at all if there if we learn that you got some stuff absolutely correct with this one.
i think the straw hats will learn more about them from Urogue. pretty head cannon but its wild that he is pretty much the only super nova with no major screen time no Bonney is around the crew at egghead. Hoping for some big sky reveals soon
This is my first video of yours. The train of thought, clear and enunciated words, and research is the best I have seen out of several anime review or theory pages I have watched.
The Green Line theory is interesting. But I think, it's not Green Line instead it's called Green Island back then. I think what happen was the World Government attached some random islands to it, make it a line, and dried out all the lands and now it became a Red Line. Afterall, Nami describe the Red Line is a group of adjoining islands, each with a different season.
I paused at around 17:00 to say this: The staff with 2 serpents is called a caduceus and was wielded by Hermes, messenger of the Gods (as well as Hermes Trismegistus) who wears winged sandals. Hermes Trismegistus was basically regarded as a mixture of Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth (who had the head of a bird). I feel like there would be a ton to extrapolate from that info.
Trismegistus is regarded as having been a living philosopher king. Its also been argued that Socrates is based on the legend of the Thrice Great. The reality is most likely that Socrates, Hermes, and Thoth are modeled after the Thrice Great. Either way, his treasure, his mystery, is still there for anyone willing to seek it.
The green line theory is amazing, also there is a theory that the gorosay and Imu are Immortal, which is also the symbolized by the color green. and the green line turning into the red line, the red line being symbolized by red which also symbolizes sacrifice, danger and courage. The sacrifice being the lounarians, the danger being the first 20 kingdoms and courage is shown by sacrificing the lounarians. And the thing with the green line which is symbolized by green, green symbolizing rebirth and renewal and immortality. Rebirth being that the one piece is one peace, which would make another of your theorys come true, which could make the rebirth of the ancient kingdom. Renewal being the exact same and immortality shown as Imu and the gorosay maybe being immortal which is shown by the lack of aging of the gorosay.
I think there is one thing to note, Dragon is friends with Shaka and Shaka isn't the original Vegapunk, so I wouldn't be surprised if the one making Kuma a machine wasn't Shaka but instead the "real" vegapunk, this would also explain why his silhouette is so different in that one panel explaining what he did to Kuma comoared to Shaka
yeah silhouettes are never a good thing to judge characters appearances by especially in one piece where oda has multiple times introduced new character silhouettes just to change their look when they finally appear.
The way you organize the video is so satisfying. I should learn from ya fr:)🙏🏻💙 And about the redline, I was shocked when I heard it, cuz I’ve never seen someone say a thing close to this😭 If this happens you’re unreal haha
“Before this, have you heard of pirate ships that had trees on them.” Yes. Many European ships during the age of sail would keep citrus trees in order to prevent scurvy.
Intresting theory, I actually think alot of this in some way might prove to be correct. If you also add the fact that the strawhat itself can be found to have connections through different cultures historically to samba, sunny warm weathers and farming.
also wanna add that nika df literally is only limited by its imagination, if he imagined the souls of his friends via music to then reincarnate their "dreams" into these fruits or soul/will/voice of all things it's actually completely plausible
This is interesting, I did experiment with plants for science fair. The plants like happy music but when I switched to negative type music the plants were dying. I concluded that they were feeling the emotions of the music
One piece is looking like one of the most detailed pieces out there. This theory should be partly be made canon at least. It just makes that much sense.
A thing to remember is the stated by oda, importance if spirals, the smile fruits are devil fruits without spirals, the have spots where spirals would be, but there are no spirals and I believe that and I'm sure you agree, spirals represent souls and or liniage factor
I think you misunderstood the thing about the plants in Marijoa. The plants are real, but the forest itself is “man-made” in the sense that they were planted there for decorative purposes.
This is phenomenal theory. I love these long form theories. My theory is that the red line is made up of the moons that are no longer their. That’s why when devil fruits were made that were other worldly feeling. In addition the red line has different magnetic fields despite being one piece.
I think you were onto something around 23:45. My new guess from your ideas is that the ancient kingdom or maybe it's the one piece is above fishman island but below Mariejois. Imagine the kingdom had a tree which they grew the devil fruit and their enemy wanted to destroy the tree and the kingdom, but the tree was too strong. So they blast it with Uranus, Use Pluton to cover it with the Red Line, and then control the Sea Kings with Poseidon to eradicate the location. Well the only place I know of that is always sunny, covered in land, and defended by seakings is that location. It would also fit with Luffy destroying fishman island, because he has to destroy Mariejois and the redline to uncover the place the Eve tree was planted. We see that it was never dark or night on fishman island, but they were definitely there for more than a day meaning that the tree was always carrying light down. We also know that Mariejois has the canopy while fishman island has the roots, we saw the strawhats visit the redline as well, meaning the tree itself is inside the wall; like attack on titan lol.
Very well put together theory.. Also if you look at the color of a snake they are usually dipicted as Green in color, then turned Red as you stated. Therefore, "The Great Serpent Soaked in Blood"..!!! Stay Blessed and Stay Safe..!!!!!
Wish I watched this earlier I’ve just been catching up on your laugh talks lounge livestreams. Really love your content I can see how much work you put into them. They are so high quality!
It might nor relate to this video so much but I’ve noticed in one piece that one very obvious thing is missing and that’s a water/ocean logia, I think that somehow the last user of the water logia if it exists was the one that made it so that no devil fruit users could swim
YO imagine if the Vegapunk FACE REVEAL is Blackbeard's face - and the Blackbeard we've been following is a "rogue split" ? Maybe this is why Blackbeard can have multiple devil fruits in one body, since he's only got 1/7th of a human soul there's more "space" for 1+ devil fruit souls?

This is the second video of yours I've seen and your presentation and music choice make for such an amazing atmospheric experience. Cannot wait to see your next one and will be going through your library for sure. Thanks for such clear hard work.
Thank you Yassin! A lot of work went into this one, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate the thoughtful comment!
This video actually blew my mind and has me re evaluating the way I watch one piece
Your content is so goddamn underrated. The amount of effort you put into it all shows, youve become my favourite One Piece channel on the whole of UA-cam. Keep up wih the good work, love to see it!!!!
Having just read through the scans of 1066, the Einstein comparison at 46:28 was more spot-on than initially anticipated. Spoilers, obviously, but the real Vegapunk's design is revealed to bear an uncanny resemblance to Albert Einstein, even posing with the iconic tongue-out face.
u earned this sub ...at one point i was gonna stop it because i dont wanna mess with my enjoyment of onepeice n this def does ,, well done
The way we’ve been following the trail of vegapunk’s inventions throughout this entire story helping to slowly unravel the secrets he’s learned about the world, despite having not seen him once in the first 1000 episodes is a masterclass in worldbuilding
The SMILE fruit causes uncontrollable laughter and so does Luffy's 👀 I've never realised this until now
Even if none of this turns out to be the way it is in the story, this was such a well put together and thorough idea I could hardly see it be done better.
Every single time I click on one of your videos, I'm astounded by the sheer creativity it takes to come up with this kind of stuff. You, Parvision, and Dak's Sake have become 3 of my favorite OP content creators. The ideas you each present are fantastical, fitting quite well inside the world of One Piece as we know it. Thank you for another lovely video.
Thank you Chris 🙏🙏🙏 Awesome comment, means a lot to hear that bro
Its crazy you were spot on about Vegapunk knowing about the ancient kingdom
Okay, I tried to look for some comments, old and new, and I didn't find this yet. Your theory was right! The only failure on Vegapunk's part was the color, he admitted it himself when he asked Luffy about the color of the dragon!
But of course, it was really convenient that it was a failure and Vegapunk being so clever most likely was both a perfectionist and also knew that the government wouldn't care to research and look for a failed experiment...
This video is amazing so far, it inspired me to draft something I looked for a long time ago; a Stardew Valley mod where you would raise and farm Devil Fruits using soul pieces from the environment... And this is exactly what I was needing, this insight on how Joy Boy would use music to gather and animate souls and imbue them into the tree in Marie Jois! I won't be talking too much about it, I don't even know if it's possible, but just writing about it in my notebook again was enough to make me happy.
Thank you so much, hope you're doing well fr
💜💜💜
By the way, this wasn't talked about yet but I believe that the way Vegapunk created the Devil Fruits was by first gather Kuma's repulsion power.
He mentioned something very specific when the flashback came, talking about the experiment where a person after dying lost a tiny bit of mass that would be the soul. That's how he was able to create a copy of his memory, pain, so on and so forth...
But what if you used it on a dragon on Punk Hazard to gather its soul, or its 'voice', and put it into a fruit? Kuma wouldn't be there to use his power all the time, so first thing Vegapunk would do was research to replicate his power, next...
Vegapunk discovered a different way to create Devil Fruits, but the Joyboy or Lunarians using music to gather the voice of inanimate things, concepts, and even wishes (such as being able to swim anywhere, my body being any weapon I imagine, I want to spin so fast I'll be able to fly) is amazing.
What a fun theory! It's clear that you put a lot of time into the research of the theory and creation of the video.
Bro only makes "greatest theories ever" .. but damn, ur videos and theories are actually reallllllyyyy cool, I'm binging them lol
Man I'm so glad I'm caught up to the manga and anime, when I was younger I would watch Toonami all the time and my first episode was Franky's introduction in Water 7, and I watched from there all the way to the end of Thriller Bark and they were the best, I knew that it was still going strong so a lot of the stakes that dealt with the protagonists didn't concern me too much but now that the series is about over and there's all this new information coming to light I don't know what to think, I know it's a shonen and everyone will more than likely be fine, but now I'm caught up and can't be spoiled on anything and I'm sitting waiting just like everybody else who's caught up and it's an awesome feeling because it's so great to sit and theorize with everyone what the answers to everything could mean especially after the latest chapters
I love the video, would just add few more related things related to botany:
- Robin has the flower fruit
- giants are most likely lumberjacks because they are skilled with axes
- the Tontata use land suffix
- the Earth counters Enel or any electricity for that matter, so earth protects you from the gods wrath
In Skypia there was mentioning of God of Earth (and 3 others including Sun God)
I’m so curious what these 3 other Gods of ____ will be. Oda definitely has plans for the other three. Rain, Earth, Sun and Forest. I wish there was a video out about this that was heavily supported.
@@ReturnOfGodEnel Greenbull is definatly God of Forest, and it would be funny if he was Zoro's father lol, Sanji's father being a king and Zoro's being a God hehe. Also, Dragon is most likely Rain God (a.k.a. weather based fruit). Earth is tricky one, but I seen people saying it may be one of BB fruits. Maybe even third one, theorized to be mythical zoan as well, some kind of demon Bai-Ze who has 3 personalities/souls.
@@ReturnOfGodEnel also Zoro's father: tree, Zoro: mosshead 😭😭
@@Masked_madness09 tough to know but I’m disappointed in green bulls character right now we will see how he would be important enough to have that fruit.
"Faulty Smiles cause people to laugh uncontrollably" That shit hit me so hard. Obviously you were talking about smile fruits but I took it as a real life thing. When you put on a fake smile to make other people happy, you tend to do happy things such as laugh a lot even though that might not be how you feel, which ties back into Smile fruits.
Love listening to these theories at work. Such a chill but intellectual vibe
Loving that you caught the color gag!
honestly this and parvisions pluton theory actually work really well together
I really love these theories. I think music and light are not concepts that exclude one another since both are made up of waves, either light or sound. What I find fascinating about this is that, thinking about this further, it's rather likely that that's how Vegapunk split his soul apart. There's a mathematical formula (Fourier Transform) that lets you calculate the waves that make up a sound. That could be how Vegapunk split his soul, this mixture of emotions, into purer/more basic characters. What that also could result in would be some sort of resonance/harmony ability that allows the 6 parts of Vegapunk to fuse back into the original Vegapunk, in other words the docking Franky has always deamt of.
Quick reminder that Frankies docking in thriller bark also involved 6 parts. It ultimately failed because Robin refused to dock. Foreshadowing? I think so!
The vibes are immaculate on this channel
You’re the goat man, mindblown once again
Your video left me wondering about Blackbeard and the Yami Yami No Mi. In his fight with Ace, BB claims that's that he knew the shape and abilities of all devil fruits from a book he read (Sanji was also seen reading in a flashback) and that the Yami Yami no Mi chose him much like how the Elders claim that the Nika fruit had the will to chose its host. Plus BB has appeared the same time that we are getting details about Kuma being part of a special race.
What if BB is of the same special race like Kuma and was experimented on by Vegapunk during his time in the MADs Era with Judge, Queen and Caesar. BB and Kuma have similar physical features, perhaps they have the same strange body that Marco mentioned back in Marineford, but Vegapunk was perhaps evil back then and did heinous expirements on Teach and maybe sisters, thus giving the young BB the ability to absorb more then one devil fruit. This explain why Teach kept a low profile in WB's ship while searching for the Yami yami no mi, cause he was hiding from the World Government. But this same research maybe what allows Vegapunk the chance to save Kuma.
I like the idea that the redline was green. you think its possible during the war with the lunarians they deliberately set the redline on fire destroying all the greenery in the hopes it would detract the celestial dragons but they adapted hence the breathing masks
I would say no. I don’t think the lunarians would burn something that believe is sacred. It could’ve been from the fight and their fire abilities but they didn’t deliberately set fire to their forest to dissuade their attackers.
Probably sacred*
Nah why would they burn their own land. No. It’s more likely they are space suits in some symbolism that they are trying to mirror the lunarians that can breathe in space
When you talk about everything having a soul or spirit, the Going Merry had its own spirit that tried to repair itself for more journeys and even conveniently travels a great distance to save its friends…
We also see this with swords in particular the cursed swords which some consider more of a threat to you than your enemy, however like Merry to its crew, his sword wouldn’t cut off his arm because the sword would consider his ambition/skill be worthy of its use, the sword took Zoro as far as it could go just like Merry.
Both the Merry and Zoro’s sword have rituals when they pass on, one in a Viking style the other a traditional burial.
I think there is also something to be said about Whitebeard’s sword standing over his burial.
And the shadow of a once great swordsman literally giving Zoro his sword. The spirit determines his ambition worthy of its use, the sword decides that it will take Zoro as far as it can go to fufil that ambition, whether it dies a long the way doesn’t matter because he was worthy of its aid.
I think it also means tools of great potential. Like swords, like ships, like anything that is cherished, even a straw hat, they have a will unlike a person. The tool accepts eventually it will break and cease to be useful. So it lives its life to the fullest, craving to be useful to the people that cherish it. And not every object is going to get this special treatment from... the supernatural world. It has to be legitimately special to someone.
"A ship is born with only one promise, to carry her crew from shore to shore safely." - Frankie to Usopp
I always just thought of them as aspects of nature bound to a soul or object. The more in tune you become with the aspect the stronger that force becomes in the world.
Like electricity doesn't work on rubber but a lightning bolt will melt it yet luffy just shrugs it off.
This is a very well thought out theory, and you made and supported your points excellently. Agree or not no one can deny the hard work you put into making and supporting your theory
Just started watching but I can already tell this is gonna slap. I have been so excited for this theory from what you’ve said during streams. Great work as always Hidden!
Keeping the music alive. You filthy monster of a guy. 🖤💫🙌
Hey, IDK if Oda is aware of this, but it fits your theory: the etymological root of Seraphim - which means "burning ones" - is the Hebrew "Serap", a word for serpent, snake, or viper, particularly venomous ones. This is used in Jewish mysticism in the draconic forms of angels. This is also related to why near eastern contemporaries of the Israelites, such as the Zoriastrian Persians, viewed them as dragon or serpent worshipers. Obviously this connection points to the serpent theme of the ssg seraphim based on lunarian DNA, as well as their affinity for fire RE King
Also FYI seraphim are not the highest angels except in those angelologies based on Psuedo-Dionysus the Areopagite (Catholic) in De Coelesti Hierarchia or on Jacob Nazir (Jewish) in his Maseket Atzilut. Any other formula, such as the Zohar, Maimonides or other important Jewish mystic texts, only have them as the 3rd highest at most (in de Vidas' Reshit Chochmah). It's true that most Christian angelic theology is based on Dionysian angelology, so that's where the common trope comes from that Seraphim are the highest.
Great vid as always - love the evolution of the theory from last year. Too many references for this to all be a coincidence (obviously). I won't be shocked at all if there if we learn that you got some stuff absolutely correct with this one.
Wow, what a dope intro, love it!
Looking forward to the rest of the theory
13:34 Yes. It's a well-known historical fact that many ships, not just pirates, would grow fruits on their ships to avoid scurvy on long voyages.
i think the straw hats will learn more about them from Urogue. pretty head cannon but its wild that he is pretty much the only super nova with no major screen time no Bonney is around the crew at egghead. Hoping for some big sky reveals soon
By far the most underrated one piece channel on UA-cam. I only watch information videos on UA-cam but you drop too many bangers
This is my first video of yours. The train of thought, clear and enunciated words, and research is the best I have seen out of several anime review or theory pages I have watched.
The straw hat is not only made from straws, aka plants, but it's also the headwear of choice for many farmers that stay out in the sun all day.
The Green Line theory is interesting. But I think, it's not Green Line instead it's called Green Island back then. I think what happen was the World Government attached some random islands to it, make it a line, and dried out all the lands and now it became a Red Line. Afterall, Nami describe the Red Line is a group of adjoining islands, each with a different season.
I paused at around 17:00 to say this:
The staff with 2 serpents is called a caduceus and was wielded by Hermes, messenger of the Gods (as well as Hermes Trismegistus) who wears winged sandals. Hermes Trismegistus was basically regarded as a mixture of Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth (who had the head of a bird). I feel like there would be a ton to extrapolate from that info.
Trismegistus is regarded as having been a living philosopher king. Its also been argued that Socrates is based on the legend of the Thrice Great. The reality is most likely that Socrates, Hermes, and Thoth are modeled after the Thrice Great. Either way, his treasure, his mystery, is still there for anyone willing to seek it.
SUUUPPEERRR!!!! Most sensible & believable theory I have ever watched. And I very much love your style of video making.
Franky sucks
the intros to all of these videos fill me with so much peace. thank you
I love that u are back to the original aesthetic
The green line theory is amazing, also there is a theory that the gorosay and Imu are Immortal, which is also the symbolized by the color green. and the green line turning into the red line, the red line being symbolized by red which also symbolizes sacrifice, danger and courage. The sacrifice being the lounarians, the danger being the first 20 kingdoms and courage is shown by sacrificing the lounarians. And the thing with the green line which is symbolized by green, green symbolizing rebirth and renewal and immortality. Rebirth being that the one piece is one peace, which would make another of your theorys come true, which could make the rebirth of the ancient kingdom. Renewal being the exact same and immortality shown as Imu and the gorosay maybe being immortal which is shown by the lack of aging of the gorosay.
I watched this video 3 times now to make sure I caught everything. So much information but it ties everything together perfectly! Best video yet
23:30 in both Boa and Fisher Tigers flashbacks, we see its nighttime in Mariejois
Oda pretty much channels Arthus C. Clarke, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
I think there is one thing to note, Dragon is friends with Shaka and Shaka isn't the original Vegapunk, so I wouldn't be surprised if the one making Kuma a machine wasn't Shaka but instead the "real" vegapunk, this would also explain why his silhouette is so different in that one panel explaining what he did to Kuma comoared to Shaka
yeah silhouettes are never a good thing to judge characters appearances by especially in one piece where oda has multiple times introduced new character silhouettes just to change their look when they finally appear.
The way you organize the video is so satisfying.
I should learn from ya fr:)🙏🏻💙
And about the redline, I was shocked when I heard it, cuz I’ve never seen someone say a thing close to this😭
If this happens you’re unreal haha
And keep it goin buddy! 👏🏻💙
“Before this, have you heard of pirate ships that had trees on them.” Yes. Many European ships during the age of sail would keep citrus trees in order to prevent scurvy.
I can get lost in this & Dak’s videos for hours. In fact, I do.
I’m REALLLLYYYY liking this dope theory
Intresting theory, I actually think alot of this in some way might prove to be correct. If you also add the fact that the strawhat itself can be found to have connections through different cultures historically to samba, sunny warm weathers and farming.
Good call on Vegapunk’s “failure”
Most underrated One Piece channel on UA-cam. Such a good theory, can't wait to see in at all pan out in the manga 🙌
Been waiting for this vid since I heard you and Parvision going back and forth!!!
also wanna add that nika df literally is only limited by its imagination, if he imagined the souls of his friends via music to then reincarnate their "dreams" into these fruits or soul/will/voice of all things it's actually completely plausible
what an amazing theory/video the quality and passion you put into you’re videos is so awesome keep up the amazing work hidden!
I just started the video and before i go ahead i have to say that that is the best intro to a one piece theory I've seen. Bravo my guy!
This is interesting, I did experiment with plants for science fair. The plants like happy music but when I switched to negative type music the plants were dying. I concluded that they were feeling the emotions of the music
Kuma was using haki in the newest chapter, bro’s prediction was 100% accurate
I really like your opening.
dude you were on the money about some things in the latest chapter :0
You had me setting down think about the past 18 ish years i have been watching this show and how this lowkey make since, plus the IMU video as well 🤯
One piece is looking like one of the most detailed pieces out there.
This theory should be partly be made canon at least.
It just makes that much sense.
I.. I feel like i've gotten spoiled...
Frickin great video man, thanks for that. You are brilliant ✨️
You’ve given me a very different perspective on how I think of One Piece. Thanks :)
A thing to remember is the stated by oda, importance if spirals, the smile fruits are devil fruits without spirals, the have spots where spirals would be, but there are no spirals and I believe that and I'm sure you agree, spirals represent souls and or liniage factor
Infinite spirals? Gear Infinity soon! Get ready for it
I think you misunderstood the thing about the plants in Marijoa. The plants are real, but the forest itself is “man-made” in the sense that they were planted there for decorative purposes.
That’s a fair point!
Here from That One Piece Talk, Loved the video! This has to be one of the best theories out there!
This is phenomenal theory. I love these long form theories. My theory is that the red line is made up of the moons that are no longer their. That’s why when devil fruits were made that were other worldly feeling. In addition the red line has different magnetic fields despite being one piece.
idk why but this video is very calming. i love the way you speak
subscribing purely cause of the intro and thumbnail, that was amazing
I think you were onto something around 23:45. My new guess from your ideas is that the ancient kingdom or maybe it's the one piece is above fishman island but below Mariejois. Imagine the kingdom had a tree which they grew the devil fruit and their enemy wanted to destroy the tree and the kingdom, but the tree was too strong. So they blast it with Uranus, Use Pluton to cover it with the Red Line, and then control the Sea Kings with Poseidon to eradicate the location. Well the only place I know of that is always sunny, covered in land, and defended by seakings is that location. It would also fit with Luffy destroying fishman island, because he has to destroy Mariejois and the redline to uncover the place the Eve tree was planted. We see that it was never dark or night on fishman island, but they were definitely there for more than a day meaning that the tree was always carrying light down. We also know that Mariejois has the canopy while fishman island has the roots, we saw the strawhats visit the redline as well, meaning the tree itself is inside the wall; like attack on titan lol.
Very well put together theory.. Also if you look at the color of a snake they are usually dipicted as Green in color, then turned Red as you stated. Therefore, "The Great Serpent Soaked in Blood"..!!! Stay Blessed and Stay Safe..!!!!!
I love this theory a lot. The emphasis on souls feels incredibly intentional by Oda. Why else did he make us cry over a boat in Enies Lobby?
Okay, how the hell do you keep coming up with high-quality theories so often?
Music and dance are the 2 purest forms self expression.
The opening was so magical and chill thanks for that
Wish I watched this earlier I’ve just been catching up on your laugh talks lounge livestreams. Really love your content I can see how much work you put into them. They are so high quality!
So happy to see this getting so much attention and engagement. Great video, you really expanded the theory!
It might nor relate to this video so much but I’ve noticed in one piece that one very obvious thing is missing and that’s a water/ocean logia, I think that somehow the last user of the water logia if it exists was the one that made it so that no devil fruit users could swim
Just found your channel today, and I gotta say, these theory videos are getting my quite rigid. Very good work, keep it up man.
YO imagine if the Vegapunk FACE REVEAL is Blackbeard's face - and the Blackbeard we've been following is a "rogue split" ? Maybe this is why Blackbeard can have multiple devil fruits in one body, since he's only got 1/7th of a human soul there's more "space" for 1+ devil fruit souls?
