I just realized during this, Nami's moment with Ulti, refusing to lie and betray what she believes in even if it costs her life, is a parallel to the last lesson Bell-mere taught her.
I would argue that if Nami's literal last words were "Luffy will become the king of the pirates", the crew would absolutely still go for it. I can imagine Sanji having a nice parallel to the "Zeff gave his leg for your life, don't throw it away" moment where he he makes Luffy promise to become the king of the pirates.
@@eligerman1676 well, he does not need to be as good as Nami. he just needs to get them to Egghead. there maybe Vegapunk could give them a new kind of log pose. but i do agree that the crew could not disband after this. it should be Ussap's trigger to become a brave warrior of the sea.
This thing is Ussop would be the one saying it. Telling the crew, her last words and again almost knocking heads together with tears in his eyes. I can see him going. I don't want her memory to be the thing that breaks us up, Let's make Luffy the king of the pirates knots for him but for her. It would transform one piece into Lucy's quests from freedom and to fulfilling a good friend's last wish type of deal
The one way I can see things keep going after this is Usopp telling Luffy how Nami died. Him learning that she died because she refused to say Luffy wouldn’t reach his dream would hurt him. But it would also motivate him to make sure she didn’t die in vain. She believed in him to the very end and the last thing he’d let happen at this point is fail to prove her right.
^^^^^ This is a good point. I'm also so curious as to how Usopp would handle this. Imo, Usopp and Nami are best friends, and he would be absolutely crippled by survivor's guilt. God, it hurts. Just imagine that Sanji, in a moment of weakness and pain, yells at Usopp and screams, "It should have been you!" or, "Why wasn't it you?" Tbh, I don't think I could see Usopp being comfortable enough to be in the crew after that, but I also don't think Luffy would be willing to let him go again, especially after losing one nakama.
Also, Jimbe would probably have to do with the whole crew what he did to Luffy after Ace died: be the rock that centers them and reminds them why they have to keep going. Between this and finding out why she died, Luffy would want to find the One Piece even more, just as he had with Ace - complete the dream they died to uphold. Luffy going gear 5 would be a more somber thing, a man who laughs in the face of death because "one day we all become naught but bones" so why not laugh and fight in memory of the dead to achieve their dreams.
@@obara7366usopp would try to seek out the giant island and try to become a stronger warrior to make sure no one else dies, however I don’t think the crew would break up they would keep going or try to at least
@@obara7366It would be out of character for Sanji to say that. I could see him saying "why didn't you protect her?" but he definitely wouldn't say anything close to "it should have been you" because he's not scummy like that. He respects all of his crewmates and wouldn't go as far as valuing one of his crew's life over the other. He would be the type to blame himself for not being there to save Nami instead of blaming Ussop.
never ever cross a strong spirted woman. from my own expiracne it never ends well and Seeing how he states he married the real world Nami she's got to be a very fiery woman.
The Nami moment when she says luffy will be king of the pirates parallels the moment Bell-mère did. She could have lived if she lied but she said she had kids and it’s a nice callback in this moment.
@@basicallybilly9137 it’s not healthy to assume things I watch tekking videos before bed so if he mentioned it in that video I was either asleep by then or nodding off
He said it would be a series if it did well and we all love tekking I knew it would do well enough lol I would be shocked to find out any of his videos fail bad enough it wouldn't get a series
I feel like Nami's death would be the worst mainly because Nami is not supposed to die. There is a certain hierarchy among the crew in regards to who protects whom. And Nami is on top (or at the bottom, depending of how you interpret that) of that hierarchy. Everybody is protective around Nami, so her death is quite literally mission failure for all of the Straw Hats. When I think about it, ensuring Nami's safety is as important to the crew as actually finding One Piece, this is literally their second main objective. And we can't say this about any other Straw Hat. Even if you pair Nami and Robin or Chopper, most likely Nami is the one to be protected by a teammate. And this is also a big part of her character. She is the part of the "scaredy-cats" trio, but even among them she is the last one to toughen up and actually take a fight, she will try to avoid it until necessary. tldr Nami is NOT SUPPOSED to die, therefore her death would hit the hardest
I think she's really the only one thatd break them up with her passing. Maybe Robin, but I think everyone elses passing could be spun in a way to push them forward. Nami and Luffy are the true heart of the crew at the end of the day. If Luffy dies its just game over too but Idk if were counting him.
The most intriguing thing to me about Nami that no one talks about is her true origins, bellemare picked her up from another island and then made it to cocoyashi village, maybe her hometown/village that got raided isn’t that important, but one of her parents could still be alive, and might be an important figure, or not.
I think Jimbe would be hit harder by Nami's death than you all realize. Keep in mind, he blames himself for the suffering she went through under Arlong, given he basically set him loose on the East Blue. He'd see her death as yet another weight on the list of sins he holds himself accountable for.
I actually think that usopp would take this the hardest because not only was he the only one to witness her death, but I feel like he would hate himself for after seeing that Nami would rather die than even pretend that Luffy won't become King. I think he would become an entirely different character
But I doubt that Oda would kill off Nami (I hope not because shes my favorite) but you can clearly tell that Oda has a soft sport for Nami among all the female One piece characters. When he draws all the OP ladies, she's always in the center or stands out the most. I also think its because Nami has such strong connections to his wife
I don't think Oda will kill off Nami, just so he doesn't ruin the memories of his meeting with his wife, since he met her while she was cosplaying Nami
I feel like the only way the crew doesn't disband is honestly through Usopp. He was the one who would've witnessed Nami's death at the hands of Ulti in this scenario and could have a very uplifting moment reminding the crew that Nami died because she would not compromise on Luffy being king. You could go an even darker scenario where Luffy doesn't wanna be king anymore without Nami but I think it's more likely that Usopp would have to uplift Luffy and the crew to continue their journey. They still would have their grieving period and I can imagine Sanji absolutely would not be fine for a good while even with motivation to keep going, but there is a scenario in this what if where the crew doesn't disband.
I feel we'd have a second Usopp vs Luffy fight, one where Usopp fights Luffy to slap him back to his senses, and tell him that Nami wanted him to become the King
IMO Sanji's reaction would be the most interesting and unpredictable, because there would be many conflicts, many dilemmas, would he kill, hurt ulti and break his code? would he embrace his germa powers, raid suit and lose his humanity? if Sanji's flames get hotter with rage, how would they react to Sanji with that level of rage? would Sanji's body have enough resistance for these flames? I can't even imagine what Sanji would become if he lost Nami
If any Straw Hat were to die, I could see Zoro or Robin. Brook also, but it would be a gag. They think Brook died and everyone’s sad, then he turns out to be fine.
I had a cat that I named after our favorite cat burglar, but she passed a few weeks ago. This video felt kinda surreal, but made me appreciate my cat all over again, in a way I didn’t really expect going into it. Thanks Tekking
Luffy putting the straw hat on her grave marker would be the saddest anime moment in history. In real time it would be harder than hearing rock lee would never fight again, or seeing what happened to jeraiya. If oda did that it would blow up the internet
The OG three Luffy, Zoro, and Nami is my Favorite Character in whole of One piece. The thought of one of them die is mind-boggling, especially Nami. For me beside luffy, Nami is another unrecognize glue that stick the crew together, her value as Navigator, the one that organize the whole ship, and one of the first crew Luffy had is for luffy is invaluable, I'm not talking other crew is not invaluable too, but the emotional weight is to much greater than the other and making luffy relize he taking her for granted, if zoro die is not crews fault cause zoro is strong, but if Nami die than that is different matter cause she is the weakest of them all, and luffy as a captain is always neglected his crew safety, leading to his experience in sabody arc, he change a little after that but his action is still the same relying his crew to fend for themself. I don't think the crew is gonna broke up, if so their trust on luffy is easily broken, but the ripple effect will be massive to luffy's mental making him be more serious for being a captain of the crew, if that what will happen to the crew, I don't think Oda would kill of Nami, Oda like making luffy look and act goofy, that why straw hat crew is need of somekind of secondary and third leader ship in the crew, and for me that leadership is Zoro and Nami, the authority and organization of the crew, if either one of them die, then Oda really need to rectify luffy character to be more serious one.......
Yes he would be the best at it but his specialty is being a helmsman. He knows how to manage a ship through the ocean but being a navigator is knowing how to go from point a to point b without getting lost. I think without Nami they aren’t able to arrive to Laughtale
I don’t think that the group would disband. After Nami dies saying he would be king of the pirates, Usopp would hear her and he’d tell the crew. So if they disbanded it would spit in the face of her death and she’d have died in vain. I think this would fuel them more than even Zoro’s death.
This was so sad, but I agree. Nami is so integral. I think for Robin it would depend on the conditions, but if she died because the world govt was trying to suppress information I think it would push the crew forward. Her goal is to discover the void century, but to me her dream was always to find a friends she could call family.
Though I don't think any of the Straw Hats will die, some of them might be make sense more than others. If it does happen, it'd have to be in the Final War. Zoro = Could die after he becomes the World's Strongest Swordsman Nami = Can't die because she needs to go on more adventures to make her world map Usopp = Could die as a Brave Warrior of the Sea Sanji = Maybe after finding the All Blue, but I'd think he'd need to do something with it Chopper = Can't die because he needs to cure people Robin = Maybe after finding out the true history, but somebody has to teach it to the world Franky = Could die after seeing the Sunny reach Laugh Tale Brook = Could die after reuniting with Laboon Jinbe = Maybe after the fishmen come to the surface, but I doubt the cycle of hatred would magically disappear
I doubt Brook would even die, if he can even die. I'm certain he's the only one who would live on, which sounds sad. He's the oldest of the crew who's been given a second life, and he's the one who outlived everyone else. It's a reason why someone made a what if panel of Brook playing a violin in front of everyone's graves
@@phoenixfirebird4221 Brook can still die. It's not entirely clear what "a new life" even means. Does his fruit grant him a new life starting over from 0 and allows him to live 80+ years all over again, or does it simply allow him to live the rest of the years he would have had?
In my opinion if any Straw Hats were to die (which I highly doubt) the most likely options I think are Nico Robin and Luffy. Robin because she’s quite arguably the most dangerous person in the series due to her connections and knowledge of the poneglyphs. And Luffy because of all the times he used gear 2 before he mastered it.
The worst of all... going back to Cocoyashi means they would have to store and carry Nami's liveless body somewhere on the ship for all that way and time. Just the thought of that makes my heart wrench... A lot. It would be a very, very, rough journey.
Out of all the straw hats, I think that the only characters that would die and cause the crew to disband would be Nami and Luffy. Yeah, it would really suck and even break some of the members after a crew member death. And maybe even the loss of someone might cause one or two people to leave the crew. But I think that Nami and Luffy dying would be the only ones to actually break up the straw hats all together.
I genuinely think that Sanji after finding out Nami has died would not only go into rage mode but he would in fact discard his humanity. And he would blame himself Remember his internal question? "Who does Luffy need more? The man that cant get himself to hit a woman? Or a cold hearted warrior of science?" He would come to the conclusion that... Well, being who he is he let Nami die... He would probbly put the raid suit again and even maybe start using his hands to fight and disregard all emotions and values he had in the past... Becoming the same monster his brothers are just by sealing his emotions deep down And after the fight he would probably not get oit of that mindset 😞
@@duckwithabs4537 if he got the notice of it during Onigashima Im pretty sure it would affect him that much, he would regress to a previous mindset and his answer would be the other one.
Just s-shark threatening Nami caused Sanji to basically teleport and catch fire. If a woman he cared about died, he'd either break mentally or go straight to pirate king level
The only death that can break up the crew is Luffy's, any other death would only serve to strengthen them as evident with Ace's death ultimately serving to motivating Luffy
Nami's death I feel would definitely be the most painful one, not just for the Strawhats but also for us the community. She's been with us for 20yrs, that's a long time to journey with someone and watch them grow, even if she is a fictional character. Zoro death, as we've surmised, would hurt, but is expected. Sanji's and Usopp's East Blue arcs were not as powerful as Nami's. Luffy placing the straw hat on Nami stands as the most powerful moment in all of the East Blue leg of the journey, and kinda marks Nami as the Strawhat that will be the most fondly loved and remembered outside of Luffy himself.
I get the idea of them breaking up after this but honestly I don't think they would. I actually think Usoop would have a big moment where if they were about to disband he'd tell them how her final words were that Luffy is going to be the king of the pirates and that if they disband now she died for nothing. I genuinely think they would continue on after this even though the journey would be much sadder afterwards.
I think their will be more of an impact that just here are her final words we must psuh forward. Oda has pretty much entangled Nami and Luffys paths together. regardless of how we see their relationship as the readers. Oda has essentially created these two to feed of each other and to complete each others dream. will they break up the straw hats i dont think so but something big would happen that would alter the story more than it jsut being sadder after the fact.
Doubt any straw hats are dying. But what does make sense is luffy dying. He lowered his lifespan a few times over the course of the manga. Its like oda was foreshadowing his death.
The trouble with Nami dying is that her dream is a physical object (map of the world) compared to the more nebulous dreams of some of the other members. I don't think Oda is going to deny any of the Straw Hats their dreams. If Nami were to die I think it has to be as a sacrifice. Not to save Luffy but during the act of freeing Fishman slaves (including Arlong) from Mariejois. This would bring her story full circle, from fearing the Fishmen to making the ultimate sacrifice for their freedom (Arlong would probably need smacking around by Jinbe to fully accept her actions)
Fake out. Nami dies and her will asks for gold to be buried with her. Day after the funeral nami digs up the coffin and Robs her own grave. 10/10 plot twist to show nothing can stop the cat burglar
I 100% agree here that nami's death would mean the end of the straw hats. I'm seriously interested in what could be said a about witch of the straw hats would wind up with a similar outcome
Sanji would probably take this the worse out of anybody on the crew, from a emotional standpoint, i truly believe that Sanji would fall into the deepest depression of his life.
while i think Sanji would take it badly. he would not be the worst. Ussop is way closer and connected to her than anyone and he would see it as a signal that hes not strong enough or good enough if Nami couldn't make it. Robin and Nami are like sisters i many respects and are super close. then again how can you not be close with someone you share a room with for a long amount of time. Then i think you greatly under estimate the deep bound Luffy and her share regardless if its platonic or borderline romantic. Their very close i would wager closer than any other straw hats. its really hard to say who would be hit the hardest but just because Sanji is Simping for her all the time doesn't mean he's the one who's going to take it the hardest.
I think that you could swap between Luffy and Usopp on who would be more effected by Nami’s death. I could see an argument for both, because of Luffy’s connections to Nami from saving Cocoyashi Village. I could also see Usopp being very distraught about Nami’s death to, given the fact that he would have been the one to see her litterally die. Robin would be a close third because she’s basically been like a sister to Nami this entire time. Last would be Sanji, I thought Sanji would be the most hurt because he’s the one that. Out worldly expresses his emotions to Nami the most out of everyone in the crew. Even in the video , Tekking, says that Sanji would most likely be the one who would take the longest to move on with his life after Nami’s death. It would a situation were they would go into Sanji’s room and ask him if he wanted some food and he would probably say something a long the lines of “ what’s the point of eating food, Nami’s dead”. I’m not saying that Sanji would be the only one that would be sad about Nami’s death, but I feel like all the other crew members would find a way to continue with their lives and the journey easier than Sanji would.
When Final Fantasy VII was being made, the developers initially intended to kill off Barrett - make it a really badass final stand where he goes out in a blaze of glory. But then they decided that they wanted to make the party feel not only sad, but vulnerable and helpless, so they went and took out the kindest and sweetest character around, the emotional lynchpin, and the only mechanically specialized mage. Your comparison of Zoro and Nami dying gave me very similar vibes.
in that case, usopp would be devastated, he would see her die in front of his eyes. also, maybe sanji would be so broken that maybe he would actually hit ulti
The only things Luffy knows about Nami's past, is what he put together in the map room. He was tacking a walk while Nojiko was telling them about their past.
Well actually he did found out a lot about her past during orange town because Nami herself told him.That is why is weird most people(op youtubers and op fans) forgot about it and they think Luffy doesnt know anything
If any Strawhat dies at the end I would be very surprised. Oda doesnt really kill off many characters and Nami is more of a support fighter. Well I could maybe see Luffy dying after finding the One Piece.
I have a scene in mind as everyone grieves Nami: It shows them all separately grieving. Luffy sits on the figurehead of the Sunny, probably crying Zoro is in the crows nest lifting weights quietly, not even putting any effort into it. Sanji absentmindedly chops carrots or something in the kitchen. He's cooking, but theres no passion. Usopp is probably in Nami's study, desperately trying to learn to navigate to fill the void. Jinbei is probably there consoling him. Robin comforts chopper as they cry. Its her role as the mother to take care of the crew. Franky and possibly Jinbei are on damage control: Franky is distraught, but he's either going around trying to comfort the rest of the crew or taking the helm and crying, because he's too hardboiled to keep it in. Then the closing scene of the chapter or episode: Zoro wordlessly climbs up onto the figure with Luffy. Sanji does the same. Usopp comes out and joins them, and then the rest of the crew does too. They are all on the deck or figure, crying together. They're still together, even in their tears.
I could also honestly see Usopp making something for Nami as a tribute to her since he made the climatact for her and all that, just to cope with the loss.
Oda can't get himself to draw nami getting brutalized in a fight let alone kill her , not to mention he's been building her as a mother figure foe a long while now so she's probably gonna end the series by raising a kid She's the safest imo
Actually I think they will handle heading back to Namis village just fine since Jimbei knows the ocean and its currents and all that. And after saying their goodbyes they would head on and achieve each other's dream since Nami went out believing in them.
I like to believe that all those backbone testing moments stealthily develop Haki on the characters, allowing them to resist a conqueror's Haki burst and similar things.
In this situation id imagine gear 5th would probably still be laughing but with tears running down his face laughter is the active version of joy and crying is the active form of sorrow and i kind of imagine gear fifth to greatly amplify the outward showing of emotion
Ya'know. If a death in the crew causes the crew to break up before they find the One Piece, i can't help but imagine this leading to the bad timeline - minus the dead crewmate.
Weirdly enough I don't think Nami's (or any crew member aside from Chopper's) death would disband the crew, I think that because Zoro is there to keep pushing Luffy to his goal it will turn into a similar situation to when usopp left the crew where everyone is sad but still moving forward. Yes they won't have a navigator however Jimbei may be able to do things like ask whale sharks to show them directions (similar to how camie asked the fish to do that in saboady) and there will be more tension amongst the rest of the crew (especially Sanji) and Zoro but I think they would keep going
thats true, i could still see them disbanding but 100% see Zoro pushing everyone to keep going. He would definitely yell at them and tell them that if they stop now, Nami's death would be for nothing
Nami isn't one of my favorites, not because i think she's anniying or anything, but because i didn't felt that close to her, but this made me get emotional I always thought that, story wise, Robin was the most important for the crew, but Robin couldn't do anything if they can't get there This made me view Nami in other lenses and cherish her a lot more
I don't believe for a second they would disband. They very well may leave the new world to go take her home, but then they'd be right back in the thick of it. She wouldn't want her death to destroy their dreams. Jimbei would get them to fish man island.
Also I think they wouldn’t just quit. If Nami says “Luffy is going to be King of the Pirates” and then dies, I feel like the crew would feel obligated to make Luffy King of the Pirates. Otherwise what meaning would her dying to make that statement hold?
hey tekking, you haven’t uploaded one of these in a bit. i know that you’re busy with other videos but this is really fun series to watch and i don’t want you to forget about it. keep up with the great work!
I feel your not giving Jimbei enough credit as far as navigation skills go. He may not be as good as Nami, but he was able to travel by himself from from totland to wano, which is a very isolated and hard to reach country. Not to mention the fact that jimbei has been a pirate for a very long time. I'm sure he's lost nakama before and would help pull the straw hats through, just like he did to luffy when Ace died.
That scene with Nami and Ulti always makes me think of the movie Liar Liar. Specifically the scene with the ink pen. "The pen is blue! The pen is Blue!! The goddamn pen is blue!!!" ... But like, amped up on the emotional scale. The way she was crying came across to me like she was in pain, she didn't want to die, and she wanted so badly to be able to tell Ulti what she wanted to hear, but she couldn't physically bring herself to do it. The pen is blue...
You picked a really tough one Tekking. Nami was probably the hardest sell for joining the crew in the first place. I know most would say Nico Robin in her place, because water 7, but Robin's hurdle had nothing to do with her personality. Nami is the most pragmatic and business-like of the Straw hats. To say she believes in Luffy wholeheartedly flies in the face of her former life in Cacao V. and is actually a real revelation. It means she's no longer humouring Luffy as her 'little brother' and actually reveres him as one might revere a man of status. Also, rebutting in part, what you said about Nami being a fighter, she's not it man. Nami's death would be more of a civilian death than a combatant's. Yes, she acquitted herself well in some of the earlier arcs, but Nami doesn't consistently fight on the roster. Killing a non combatant is harsh any way you slice it... & Talking about how Sanji would react to from this... ooof... He honestly needs his own separate episode...
@@royalfun1031 Emily Rudd is absolutely in love with One Piece and Nami, so I can imagine if that ever happened she would give a heartbreaking performance.
@@TheCrazyCapMaster You were very, very right. I actually enjoyed the Zoro video, but this one genuinely hurt me; and I adore every strawhat. God, the Usopp one is gonna ruin me (he's my #1). Fuck...
Yup, you were right, Matt- this is infinitely more distressing than the Zoro episode. My heart is heavy, but I'm just going to look at pictures of Nami being happy and remember that she's very much alive.
I never thought it about this way, but Nami is kinda the closest one to feeling like Luffy's actual family. Zoro is his best friend and most loyal ally, but Nami really is like his actual sister. Arlong Park, giving her the straw hat, climbing Drum Island with her. I do agree that of all the crew, losing Nami would break Luffy's spirit.
I think ulti would find luffy afterwards and brag about how he got her killed for beliving in him and luffy would snap then he would finish the journey but alone leaving the crew behind to keep anyone else from dying the rest of the story would be the crew playing catch up with luffy ending with them finding him on laugh tale cry laughing having achieved his dream but broken from what it cost him and that would be the last time luffy showcased any form of emotion he would take nami home to be buried and break down the red line(bcs it's in his way this is a luffy that's lost his smile so to speak) leave the straw hat like you said and then just leave never to be seen or heard from again and the reason he ended up like that wasn't that she died but that she died for him bcs he dragged her into his dream
Nami is by far one of the most important members of the crew. She's essentially the captain while navigating. I don't think they could function without her. Maybe Jinbei could navigate as well, but idk.
I think the angry gear 5th would be cartoon angry. Luffy becoming red, smoke coming out the ears, pouting and blowing his face up like a balloon, angry fire attacks like red hawk. Also if he's sad he could cry waterfalls or something idk
Luffy, Ussop, Chopper, Franky, and Brook - Devastated and in tears. Sanji - Fundamentally Broken Jinbei - Silent tears. Able to keep moving if the situation needed it. Probably guilt stricken given Arlong Zoro - Repress the sadness, and tries to keep people moving. Turns to rage if called out for it. Robin - Tries to Repress, but breaks down when she is alone in their room or when called out for it.
@@EiichiroOdaSensei That's fair. May not be giving Luffy as much given him bouncing back from Ace, but it wouldn't surprise me if his reaction was about as close to that. Could go worse if he taks on the guilt of having failed despite 2D3Y to get stronger so this wouldn't happen.
Its been almost a year that I've been listening to tekking when I go to sleep.. Falling asleep listening to tekking talk about One Piece is the best.. ⭐
Its quite possible Luffy would not have gone into Gear 5th if Nami died. Instead, we may have either seen the popular Gear 4th tiger/lion man (Liger zero man lol) or a pseudo-Gear 5 i.e. Gear 4.5. Definitely Ifrit Jambé would come out earlier but the shock may just shift Sanji's character to that of his brothers. If Usopp survived, the shock could either make or break him.
I know it's morbid and hard to talk about, but I do love this series and so glad you're doing it! Please keep it up, you're doing such a great job with it!
I like the idea of angry gear 5th luffy instead of being wacky he just changes his attacks to more serious or aggressive stuff also he might not be able to control his futuristic sight abilities in that state of nami dying.
You forgot Jimbei about navigation, he could get them to at least to Fish-man Island. And Hachi who was in Arlong Park is there, so Straw Hats should not have problems to get to Cocoyasi village on their own.
Nami being willing to die for the truth (Luffy WILL be king of the pirates) is very similar to the catholic martyrs. They refused to bow down to power and renounce their belief in Jesus. Imagine what kind of conviction and faith it takes to lay down your life on principle. Nami deeply respects Luffy so much so that she cannot deny his dream to save her life. This shows why Luffy is qualified to be the captain. He brings out the best in people and inspires people to do the impossible and stand their ground no matter the cost. There is a saying that "all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." One Piece shows us the counter principle "All that is necessary for miracles to become possible is for good people to take a stand." You may not experience the miracle in your lifetime, but by taking a stand (even to the point of death), you can inspire and support the next generation. How many people died in One Piece because they took a stand and, by doing so, put the necessary pieces in place for the next generation to have a miracle? Even if you die taking a stand, the next generation will inherit your will and move forward.
Luffy could ask Shanks to help them get back to the East Blue as well. There are two issues with this: 1, Luffy and Shanks are both Yonko now so if they meet up then the Marines might notice, and 2, Luffy doesn't WANT to meet Shanks again until he's King of the Pirates, but the things that makes this likely are that Shanks obviously knows what it's like to loose a crew member. Or not really a crew member in his case, but his Captain. We saw how devastated he was in a flashback. And we also know that Yonko are able to basically traverse to and from the Grand Line whenever they want.

The one way I can see things keep going after this is Usopp telling Luffy how Nami died. Him learning that she died because she refused to say Luffy wouldn’t reach his dream would hurt him. But it would also motivate him to make sure she didn’t die in vain. She believed in him to the very end and the last thing he’d let happen at this point is fail to prove her right.
^^^^^ This is a good point. I'm also so curious as to how Usopp would handle this. Imo, Usopp and Nami are best friends, and he would be absolutely crippled by survivor's guilt. God, it hurts.
Just imagine that Sanji, in a moment of weakness and pain, yells at Usopp and screams, "It should have been you!" or, "Why wasn't it you?"
Tbh, I don't think I could see Usopp being comfortable enough to be in the crew after that, but I also don't think Luffy would be willing to let him go again, especially after losing one nakama.
Also, Jimbe would probably have to do with the whole crew what he did to Luffy after Ace died: be the rock that centers them and reminds them why they have to keep going. Between this and finding out why she died, Luffy would want to find the One Piece even more, just as he had with Ace - complete the dream they died to uphold. Luffy going gear 5 would be a more somber thing, a man who laughs in the face of death because "one day we all become naught but bones" so why not laugh and fight in memory of the dead to achieve their dreams.
@@obara7366usopp would try to seek out the giant island and try to become a stronger warrior to make sure no one else dies, however I don’t think the crew would break up they would keep going or try to at least
@@obara7366If Sanji said that’d, he’d be more trash than he already is.
@@obara7366It would be out of character for Sanji to say that. I could see him saying "why didn't you protect her?" but he definitely wouldn't say anything close to "it should have been you" because he's not scummy like that. He respects all of his crewmates and wouldn't go as far as valuing one of his crew's life over the other.
He would be the type to blame himself for not being there to save Nami instead of blaming Ussop.
Oda is not stupid enough to hurt Nami, because he knows that that would incur the wrath of the most dangerous creature he could ever face: his wife
So true
never ever cross a strong spirted woman. from my own expiracne it never ends well and Seeing how he states he married the real world Nami she's got to be a very fiery woman.
The Nami moment when she says luffy will be king of the pirates parallels the moment Bell-mère did. She could have lived if she lied but she said she had kids and it’s a nice callback in this moment.
Yeah it is honestly a quite beautiful moment too bad it is underrated

I feel like Nami's death would be the worst mainly because Nami is not supposed to die. There is a certain hierarchy among the crew in regards to who protects whom. And Nami is on top (or at the bottom, depending of how you interpret that) of that hierarchy. Everybody is protective around Nami, so her death is quite literally mission failure for all of the Straw Hats. When I think about it, ensuring Nami's safety is as important to the crew as actually finding One Piece, this is literally their second main objective. And we can't say this about any other Straw Hat. Even if you pair Nami and Robin or Chopper, most likely Nami is the one to be protected by a teammate. And this is also a big part of her character. She is the part of the "scaredy-cats" trio, but even among them she is the last one to toughen up and actually take a fight, she will try to avoid it until necessary.
tldr Nami is NOT SUPPOSED to die, therefore her death would hit the hardest
I think she's really the only one thatd break them up with her passing. Maybe Robin, but I think everyone elses passing could be spun in a way to push them forward. Nami and Luffy are the true heart of the crew at the end of the day. If Luffy dies its just game over too but Idk if were counting him.
Nami literally was decided to DIE before saying Luffy will NOT become King of the Pirates, my girl is UNDERRATED AF
The most intriguing thing to me about Nami that no one talks about is her true origins, bellemare picked her up from another island and then made it to cocoyashi village, maybe her hometown/village that got raided isn’t that important, but one of her parents could still be alive, and might be an important figure, or not.
It would be a bit odd for that to come up now though. How would Bellemere have gotten Nami all the way to East Blue from here?
@@clearspirait’s possible revolutionaries were involved in the conflict so that would probably be the best way if one of her parents had to appear
Nami's mom is Ivankov.
I'm a proud supporter of the Nerona Nami agenda
@@theslightlytiltedcat Or Crocodile. Hey, we still don't know what it was that Ivankov blackmailed him with.
I think Jimbe would be hit harder by Nami's death than you all realize.
Keep in mind, he blames himself for the suffering she went through under Arlong, given he basically set him loose on the East Blue.
He'd see her death as yet another weight on the list of sins he holds himself accountable for.
facts
I actually think that usopp would take this the hardest because not only was he the only one to witness her death, but I feel like he would hate himself for after seeing that Nami would rather die than even pretend that Luffy won't become King. I think he would become an entirely different character
Yeah I totally agree I dont get why Tekking didnt say anything about it
@@Aourora Yeah I think if anyone is leaving the crew it's him because of his own cowardice
But I doubt that Oda would kill off Nami (I hope not because shes my favorite) but you can clearly tell that Oda has a soft sport for Nami among all the female One piece characters. When he draws all the OP ladies, she's always in the center or stands out the most. I also think its because Nami has such strong connections to his wife
It's because Nami is the main female lead of the story
I don't think Oda will kill off Nami, just so he doesn't ruin the memories of his meeting with his wife, since he met her while she was cosplaying Nami
@@ajs3060also because oda married a nami cosplayer (who he met when she was cosplaying nami)
I feel like the only way the crew doesn't disband is honestly through Usopp. He was the one who would've witnessed Nami's death at the hands of Ulti in this scenario and could have a very uplifting moment reminding the crew that Nami died because she would not compromise on Luffy being king. You could go an even darker scenario where Luffy doesn't wanna be king anymore without Nami but I think it's more likely that Usopp would have to uplift Luffy and the crew to continue their journey. They still would have their grieving period and I can imagine Sanji absolutely would not be fine for a good while even with motivation to keep going, but there is a scenario in this what if where the crew doesn't disband.
I feel we'd have a second Usopp vs Luffy fight, one where Usopp fights Luffy to slap him back to his senses, and tell him that Nami wanted him to become the King
IMO Sanji's reaction would be the most interesting and unpredictable, because there would be many conflicts, many dilemmas, would he kill, hurt ulti and break his code? would he embrace his germa powers, raid suit and lose his humanity? if Sanji's flames get hotter with rage, how would they react to Sanji with that level of rage? would Sanji's body have enough resistance for these flames? I can't even imagine what Sanji would become if he lost Nami
Nah best girl would never die. She will live on in our hearts 🧡
If any Straw Hat were to die, I could see Zoro or Robin.
Brook also, but it would be a gag. They think Brook died and everyone’s sad, then he turns out to be fine.
I died… but I was already dead! Yohohoho!
I could see Usopp dying and being a matyr
I was just sleeping guys couldn't you tell by my eyes.....That's right. I don't have any eyes yohohohoho!!!
@zagzig37n34 nah zoro
I had a cat that I named after our favorite cat burglar, but she passed a few weeks ago. This video felt kinda surreal, but made me appreciate my cat all over again, in a way I didn’t really expect going into it. Thanks Tekking
Luffy putting the straw hat on her grave marker would be the saddest anime moment in history. In real time it would be harder than hearing rock lee would never fight again, or seeing what happened to jeraiya. If oda did that it would blow up the internet
The OG three Luffy, Zoro, and Nami is my Favorite Character in whole of One piece. The thought of one of them die is mind-boggling, especially Nami. For me beside luffy, Nami is another unrecognize glue that stick the crew together, her value as Navigator, the one that organize the whole ship, and one of the first crew Luffy had is for luffy is invaluable, I'm not talking other crew is not invaluable too, but the emotional weight is to much greater than the other and making luffy relize he taking her for granted, if zoro die is not crews fault cause zoro is strong, but if Nami die than that is different matter cause she is the weakest of them all, and luffy as a captain is always neglected his crew safety, leading to his experience in sabody arc, he change a little after that but his action is still the same relying his crew to fend for themself. I don't think the crew is gonna broke up, if so their trust on luffy is easily broken, but the ripple effect will be massive to luffy's mental making him be more serious for being a captain of the crew, if that what will happen to the crew, I don't think Oda would kill of Nami, Oda like making luffy look and act goofy, that why straw hat crew is need of somekind of secondary and third leader ship in the crew, and for me that leadership is Zoro and Nami, the authority and organization of the crew, if either one of them die, then Oda really need to rectify luffy character to be more serious one.......
luffy character to be a more serious one, that should of happed after ace died.
Nami's death along with Chopper's would definitely be the most heart wrenching.
Nami understandable, chopper?????? No way
This would be a real shock if it were to happen. Nami is the Strawhat that I really cannot picture dying under any circumstance.
I do think that if the crew lost Nami, Jinbei could function fairly well as a navigator.
You obviously are stupid
Yes he would be the best at it but his specialty is being a helmsman. He knows how to manage a ship through the ocean but being a navigator is knowing how to go from point a to point b without getting lost. I think without Nami they aren’t able to arrive to Laughtale
I think the crew would consider quitting at being pirates.
No. He is not a navigator lol.
@pabloagullomarti9817 knowing Nami, she would have left behind some type of guidelines for them to finish the journey
I don’t think that the group would disband. After Nami dies saying he would be king of the pirates, Usopp would hear her and he’d tell the crew. So if they disbanded it would spit in the face of her death and she’d have died in vain. I think this would fuel them more than even Zoro’s death.
This was so sad, but I agree. Nami is so integral.
I think for Robin it would depend on the conditions, but if she died because the world govt was trying to suppress information I think it would push the crew forward. Her goal is to discover the void century, but to me her dream was always to find a friends she could call family.
Robin basically met both of her Dreams , she found friends and she learned about the void century from Vegapunk
Though I don't think any of the Straw Hats will die, some of them might be make sense more than others. If it does happen, it'd have to be in the Final War.
Zoro = Could die after he becomes the World's Strongest Swordsman
Nami = Can't die because she needs to go on more adventures to make her world map
Usopp = Could die as a Brave Warrior of the Sea
Sanji = Maybe after finding the All Blue, but I'd think he'd need to do something with it
Chopper = Can't die because he needs to cure people
Robin = Maybe after finding out the true history, but somebody has to teach it to the world
Franky = Could die after seeing the Sunny reach Laugh Tale
Brook = Could die after reuniting with Laboon
Jinbe = Maybe after the fishmen come to the surface, but I doubt the cycle of hatred would magically disappear
Sanji: Lung Cancer
I doubt Brook would even die, if he can even die. I'm certain he's the only one who would live on, which sounds sad. He's the oldest of the crew who's been given a second life, and he's the one who outlived everyone else. It's a reason why someone made a what if panel of Brook playing a violin in front of everyone's graves
@@phoenixfirebird4221 Brook can still die. It's not entirely clear what "a new life" even means. Does his fruit grant him a new life starting over from 0 and allows him to live 80+ years all over again, or does it simply allow him to live the rest of the years he would have had?
@@Lupinemancer87 Yeah, but with all the damage he's taken over the journey, he would've already died
In my opinion if any Straw Hats were to die (which I highly doubt) the most likely options I think are Nico Robin and Luffy. Robin because she’s quite arguably the most dangerous person in the series due to her connections and knowledge of the poneglyphs. And Luffy because of all the times he used gear 2 before he mastered it.
The worst of all... going back to Cocoyashi means they would have to store and carry Nami's liveless body somewhere on the ship for all that way and time. Just the thought of that makes my heart wrench... A lot. It would be a very, very, rough journey.
Out of all the straw hats, I think that the only characters that would die and cause the crew to disband would be Nami and Luffy. Yeah, it would really suck and even break some of the members after a crew member death. And maybe even the loss of someone might cause one or two people to leave the crew. But I think that Nami and Luffy dying would be the only ones to actually break up the straw hats all together.
If nami dies then we're gonna see luffy go absolute FERAL omg 😂
This video is too damn strong for me to watch continuously. I can't.
I can't imagine a crew without Nami
I genuinely think that Sanji after finding out Nami has died would not only go into rage mode but he would in fact discard his humanity.
And he would blame himself
Remember his internal question?
"Who does Luffy need more? The man that cant get himself to hit a woman? Or a cold hearted warrior of science?"
He would come to the conclusion that... Well, being who he is he let Nami die...
He would probbly put the raid suit again and even maybe start using his hands to fight and disregard all emotions and values he had in the past...
Becoming the same monster his brothers are just by sealing his emotions deep down
And after the fight he would probably not get oit of that mindset 😞
I doubt that would happen because of nami dying
@@duckwithabs4537 if he got the notice of it during Onigashima Im pretty sure it would affect him that much, he would regress to a previous mindset and his answer would be the other one.
The Sanji Rage Boost would boost him to levels above all the Yonko combined.
Just s-shark threatening Nami caused Sanji to basically teleport and catch fire.
If a woman he cared about died, he'd either break mentally or go straight to pirate king level
@@the_man_emperor_of_mankindHe would’ve speed blitzed Queen
The only death that can break up the crew is Luffy's, any other death would only serve to strengthen them as evident with Ace's death ultimately serving to motivating Luffy
DUDE i was listening while driving and almost burst into tears on a tekking video of all things😭😭
Probably the one death I don’t think I would be able to handle.
Nami's death I feel would definitely be the most painful one, not just for the Strawhats but also for us the community. She's been with us for 20yrs, that's a long time to journey with someone and watch them grow, even if she is a fictional character. Zoro death, as we've surmised, would hurt, but is expected. Sanji's and Usopp's East Blue arcs were not as powerful as Nami's. Luffy placing the straw hat on Nami stands as the most powerful moment in all of the East Blue leg of the journey, and kinda marks Nami as the Strawhat that will be the most fondly loved and remembered outside of Luffy himself.
I get the idea of them breaking up after this but honestly I don't think they would. I actually think Usoop would have a big moment where if they were about to disband he'd tell them how her final words were that Luffy is going to be the king of the pirates and that if they disband now she died for nothing. I genuinely think they would continue on after this even though the journey would be much sadder afterwards.
I think their will be more of an impact that just here are her final words we must psuh forward. Oda has pretty much entangled Nami and Luffys paths together. regardless of how we see their relationship as the readers. Oda has essentially created these two to feed of each other and to complete each others dream. will they break up the straw hats i dont think so but something big would happen that would alter the story more than it jsut being sadder after the fact.
Doubt any straw hats are dying. But what does make sense is luffy dying. He lowered his lifespan a few times over the course of the manga. Its like oda was foreshadowing his death.
This is exactly the kind of discussions I've been looking for
With Nami gone, the Strawhats are going to need a new captain 😰
The trouble with Nami dying is that her dream is a physical object (map of the world) compared to the more nebulous dreams of some of the other members. I don't think Oda is going to deny any of the Straw Hats their dreams. If Nami were to die I think it has to be as a sacrifice. Not to save Luffy but during the act of freeing Fishman slaves (including Arlong) from Mariejois. This would bring her story full circle, from fearing the Fishmen to making the ultimate sacrifice for their freedom (Arlong would probably need smacking around by Jinbe to fully accept her actions)
Nami dying would hit maybe the hardest out of any Strawhat
Fake out. Nami dies and her will asks for gold to be buried with her. Day after the funeral nami digs up the coffin and Robs her own grave. 10/10 plot twist to show nothing can stop the cat burglar
I 100% agree here that nami's death would mean the end of the straw hats. I'm seriously interested in what could be said a about witch of the straw hats would wind up with a similar outcome
If Nami dies, Sanji gonna go on a murdering spree
They’re gonna sell way more figurines 😂😂
I don't get it
Nvm his name...
Sanji would probably take this the worse out of anybody on the crew, from a emotional standpoint, i truly believe that Sanji would fall into the deepest depression of his life.
Usopp will break the most from this being the one to witness her dying and them having a deeper connection than Sanji, they're like best friends
while i think Sanji would take it badly. he would not be the worst. Ussop is way closer and connected to her than anyone and he would see it as a signal that hes not strong enough or good enough if Nami couldn't make it. Robin and Nami are like sisters i many respects and are super close. then again how can you not be close with someone you share a room with for a long amount of time. Then i think you greatly under estimate the deep bound Luffy and her share regardless if its platonic or borderline romantic. Their very close i would wager closer than any other straw hats. its really hard to say who would be hit the hardest but just because Sanji is Simping for her all the time doesn't mean he's the one who's going to take it the hardest.
I think that you could swap between Luffy and Usopp on who would be more effected by Nami’s death. I could see an argument for both, because of Luffy’s connections to Nami from saving Cocoyashi Village. I could also see Usopp being very distraught about Nami’s death to, given the fact that he would have been the one to see her litterally die. Robin would be a close third because she’s basically been like a sister to Nami this entire time. Last would be Sanji, I thought Sanji would be the most hurt because he’s the one that. Out worldly expresses his emotions to Nami the most out of everyone in the crew. Even in the video , Tekking, says that Sanji would most likely be the one who would take the longest to move on with his life after Nami’s death. It would a situation were they would go into Sanji’s room and ask him if he wanted some food and he would probably say something a long the lines of “ what’s the point of eating food, Nami’s dead”. I’m not saying that Sanji would be the only one that would be sad about Nami’s death, but I feel like all the other crew members would find a way to continue with their lives and the journey easier than Sanji would.
When Final Fantasy VII was being made, the developers initially intended to kill off Barrett - make it a really badass final stand where he goes out in a blaze of glory. But then they decided that they wanted to make the party feel not only sad, but vulnerable and helpless, so they went and took out the kindest and sweetest character around, the emotional lynchpin, and the only mechanically specialized mage.
Your comparison of Zoro and Nami dying gave me very similar vibes.
in that case, usopp would be devastated, he would see her die in front of his eyes. also, maybe sanji would be so broken that maybe he would actually hit ulti
The only things Luffy knows about Nami's past, is what he put together in the map room. He was tacking a walk while Nojiko was telling them about their past.
Well actually he did found out a lot about her past during orange town because Nami herself told him.That is why is weird most people(op youtubers and op fans) forgot about it and they think Luffy doesnt know anything
I feel like this series would go great in October, maybe we can get a mega compilation then.
If any Strawhat dies at the end I would be very surprised. Oda doesnt really kill off many characters and Nami is more of a support fighter. Well I could maybe see Luffy dying after finding the One Piece.
I have a scene in mind as everyone grieves Nami:
It shows them all separately grieving.
Luffy sits on the figurehead of the Sunny, probably crying
Zoro is in the crows nest lifting weights quietly, not even putting any effort into it.
Sanji absentmindedly chops carrots or something in the kitchen. He's cooking, but theres no passion.
Usopp is probably in Nami's study, desperately trying to learn to navigate to fill the void. Jinbei is probably there consoling him.
Robin comforts chopper as they cry. Its her role as the mother to take care of the crew.
Franky and possibly Jinbei are on damage control: Franky is distraught, but he's either going around trying to comfort the rest of the crew or taking the helm and crying, because he's too hardboiled to keep it in.
Then the closing scene of the chapter or episode: Zoro wordlessly climbs up onto the figure with Luffy. Sanji does the same. Usopp comes out and joins them, and then the rest of the crew does too. They are all on the deck or figure, crying together. They're still together, even in their tears.
I could also honestly see Usopp making something for Nami as a tribute to her since he made the climatact for her and all that, just to cope with the loss.
Oda can't get himself to draw nami getting brutalized in a fight let alone kill her , not to mention he's been building her as a mother figure foe a long while now so she's probably gonna end the series by raising a kid
She's the safest imo
I mean killing Nami is somewhat illustrating/drawing killing his wife, right?
Nami is a real strong woman. 🥺
Actually I think they will handle heading back to Namis village just fine since Jimbei knows the ocean and its currents and all that. And after saying their goodbyes they would head on and achieve each other's dream since Nami went out believing in them.
I like to believe that all those backbone testing moments stealthily develop Haki on the characters, allowing them to resist a conqueror's Haki burst and similar things.
Sanji loses 98.72% of his purpose in the Strawhat crew
What did sanji do to you bruh 😭
first version of the comment was better 😌
If Nami died, Sanji would have given in the his Germa bloodline and turned straight up evil killing the riff raff with such brutality they'd fear him.
In this situation id imagine gear 5th would probably still be laughing but with tears running down his face laughter is the active version of joy and crying is the active form of sorrow and i kind of imagine gear fifth to greatly amplify the outward showing of emotion
Usopp has a disease where if he discovers the one piece he will die.
Ya'know. If a death in the crew causes the crew to break up before they find the One Piece, i can't help but imagine this leading to the bad timeline - minus the dead crewmate.
I love the series but damn it’s rough to think about Nami’s death. Her death would probably actually break up the crew.
Oh i noticed you're changing the color of your lights for the straw hats! I really like that
Weirdly enough I don't think Nami's (or any crew member aside from Chopper's) death would disband the crew, I think that because Zoro is there to keep pushing Luffy to his goal it will turn into a similar situation to when usopp left the crew where everyone is sad but still moving forward. Yes they won't have a navigator however Jimbei may be able to do things like ask whale sharks to show them directions (similar to how camie asked the fish to do that in saboady) and there will be more tension amongst the rest of the crew (especially Sanji) and Zoro but I think they would keep going
thats true, i could still see them disbanding but 100% see Zoro pushing everyone to keep going. He would definitely yell at them and tell them that if they stop now, Nami's death would be for nothing
Damit, that scene you made up wiith Luffy putting his strawhat on her grave, made me cry irl.
This one hurt but was a critical conversation for understanding the depth of the Straw Hats situation and relationships
Nami isn't one of my favorites, not because i think she's anniying or anything, but because i didn't felt that close to her, but this made me get emotional
I always thought that, story wise, Robin was the most important for the crew, but Robin couldn't do anything if they can't get there
This made me view Nami in other lenses and cherish her a lot more
I don't believe for a second they would disband.
They very well may leave the new world to go take her home, but then they'd be right back in the thick of it.
She wouldn't want her death to destroy their dreams.
Jimbei would get them to fish man island.
Also I think they wouldn’t just quit. If Nami says “Luffy is going to be King of the Pirates” and then dies, I feel like the crew would feel obligated to make Luffy King of the Pirates. Otherwise what meaning would her dying to make that statement hold?
Luffy would dwell into pure rage and insanity resulting in an even darker timeline.
It's wild how Nami and Bulma really are similar in how important they both are to their respective franchises
hey tekking, you haven’t uploaded one of these in a bit. i know that you’re busy with other videos but this is really fun series to watch and i don’t want you to forget about it. keep up with the great work!
I feel your not giving Jimbei enough credit as far as navigation skills go. He may not be as good as Nami, but he was able to travel by himself from from totland to wano, which is a very isolated and hard to reach country. Not to mention the fact that jimbei has been a pirate for a very long time. I'm sure he's lost nakama before and would help pull the straw hats through, just like he did to luffy when Ace died.
That scene with Nami and Ulti always makes me think of the movie Liar Liar. Specifically the scene with the ink pen. "The pen is blue! The pen is Blue!! The goddamn pen is blue!!!" ... But like, amped up on the emotional scale. The way she was crying came across to me like she was in pain, she didn't want to die, and she wanted so badly to be able to tell Ulti what she wanted to hear, but she couldn't physically bring herself to do it. The pen is blue...
The “sorry I couldn’t help you this time” would be devastating
You picked a really tough one Tekking. Nami was probably the hardest sell for joining the crew in the first place. I know most would say Nico Robin in her place, because water 7, but Robin's hurdle had nothing to do with her personality.
Nami is the most pragmatic and business-like of the Straw hats. To say she believes in Luffy wholeheartedly flies in the face of her former life in Cacao V. and is actually a real revelation. It means she's no longer humouring Luffy as her 'little brother' and actually reveres him as one might revere a man of status. Also, rebutting in part, what you said about Nami being a fighter, she's not it man. Nami's death would be more of a civilian death than a combatant's. Yes, she acquitted herself well in some of the earlier arcs, but Nami doesn't consistently fight on the roster. Killing a non combatant is harsh any way you slice it...
& Talking about how Sanji would react to from this... ooof... He honestly needs his own separate episode...
This show doesn't do main character deaths (and no, Ace wasn't a main). I would be amazed if it started with Nami.
*breathes in* Yeah, I'm ready, Matt-sensei. Give it to me, I'm a strong woman. I can handle the pain.
Imagine it happens in OPLA
*She could not handle the pain.*
@@royalfun1031 Emily Rudd is absolutely in love with One Piece and Nami, so I can imagine if that ever happened she would give a heartbreaking performance.
@@TheCrazyCapMaster You were very, very right. I actually enjoyed the Zoro video, but this one genuinely hurt me; and I adore every strawhat. God, the Usopp one is gonna ruin me (he's my #1). Fuck...
“he sets his strawhat on her grave” wasn’t expecting to cry today but here we are 😭🥲
Been loving this series! Despite the dark tone, it is cool to imagine the what if scenarios.
Nami's death would surely be the most devastating.
Ironically, tekking this helped me a lot with my current breakup situation and thinking about the future and all the possibilities
@tekking10147 ur a bot
Yup, you were right, Matt- this is infinitely more distressing than the Zoro episode. My heart is heavy, but I'm just going to look at pictures of Nami being happy and remember that she's very much alive.
I never thought it about this way, but Nami is kinda the closest one to feeling like Luffy's actual family. Zoro is his best friend and most loyal ally, but Nami really is like his actual sister. Arlong Park, giving her the straw hat, climbing Drum Island with her. I do agree that of all the crew, losing Nami would break Luffy's spirit.
I think ulti would find luffy afterwards and brag about how he got her killed for beliving in him and luffy would snap then he would finish the journey but alone leaving the crew behind to keep anyone else from dying the rest of the story would be the crew playing catch up with luffy ending with them finding him on laugh tale cry laughing having achieved his dream but broken from what it cost him and that would be the last time luffy showcased any form of emotion he would take nami home to be buried and break down the red line(bcs it's in his way this is a luffy that's lost his smile so to speak) leave the straw hat like you said and then just leave never to be seen or heard from again and the reason he ended up like that wasn't that she died but that she died for him bcs he dragged her into his dream
Nami is by far one of the most important members of the crew. She's essentially the captain while navigating. I don't think they could function without her. Maybe Jinbei could navigate as well, but idk.
L M A O that intro was great! I love these random speculations, especially in the "Void Month" or "7D4W" lol
I think the angry gear 5th would be cartoon angry. Luffy becoming red, smoke coming out the ears, pouting and blowing his face up like a balloon, angry fire attacks like red hawk.
Also if he's sad he could cry waterfalls or something idk
Oda would never kill off his favorite character.
His favorite characters is the King of Rats, the Red Haired Snitch, Captain Wanks.
This video is about nami not robin?.
@@senorquack5182 bro why do you guys hate shanks so much these allegations are getting crazy
@@josh-on5kp kaido beats the rat. Wihawk does too. Shanks is a fraud.
@@MrKakuzukun Imagine thinkin Oda's favorite is robin 💀
Luffy, Ussop, Chopper, Franky, and Brook - Devastated and in tears.
Sanji - Fundamentally Broken
Jinbei - Silent tears. Able to keep moving if the situation needed it. Probably guilt stricken given Arlong
Zoro - Repress the sadness, and tries to keep people moving. Turns to rage if called out for it.
Robin - Tries to Repress, but breaks down when she is alone in their room or when called out for it.
I don't know if you kids are dumb but Luffy is 100% being more broken than sanji
@@EiichiroOdaSensei That's fair. May not be giving Luffy as much given him bouncing back from Ace, but it wouldn't surprise me if his reaction was about as close to that.
Could go worse if he taks on the guilt of having failed despite 2D3Y to get stronger so this wouldn't happen.
Yeah... this scenario broke me, Nami has always been one of my favorite characters 😢
Its been almost a year that I've been listening to tekking when I go to sleep.. Falling asleep listening to tekking talk about One Piece is the best.. ⭐
Its quite possible Luffy would not have gone into Gear 5th if Nami died. Instead, we may have either seen the popular Gear 4th tiger/lion man (Liger zero man lol) or a pseudo-Gear 5 i.e. Gear 4.5. Definitely Ifrit Jambé would come out earlier but the shock may just shift Sanji's character to that of his brothers. If Usopp survived, the shock could either make or break him.
Sanji would no longer be conflicted about becoming the weapon his father wanted to make.
I know it's morbid and hard to talk about, but I do love this series and so glad you're doing it! Please keep it up, you're doing such a great job with it!
I like the idea of angry gear 5th luffy instead of being wacky he just changes his attacks to more serious or aggressive stuff also he might not be able to control his futuristic sight abilities in that state of nami dying.
You're a good story teller
Your description of the grave scene made me tear up
You forgot Jimbei about navigation, he could get them to at least to Fish-man Island. And Hachi who was in Arlong Park is there, so Straw Hats should not have problems to get to Cocoyasi village on their own.
If Nami Dies, everyone in the real world would have a legit funeral. Literally
If Nami dies, it was probably by the hands of Sonic The Hedgehog. RIP Bozo.
Nami being willing to die for the truth (Luffy WILL be king of the pirates) is very similar to the catholic martyrs.
They refused to bow down to power and renounce their belief in Jesus.
Imagine what kind of conviction and faith it takes to lay down your life on principle.
Nami deeply respects Luffy so much so that she cannot deny his dream to save her life.
This shows why Luffy is qualified to be the captain. He brings out the best in people and inspires people to do the impossible and stand their ground no matter the cost.
There is a saying that "all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." One Piece shows us the counter principle
"All that is necessary for miracles to become possible is for good people to take a stand."
You may not experience the miracle in your lifetime, but by taking a stand (even to the point of death), you can inspire and support the next generation.
How many people died in One Piece because they took a stand and, by doing so, put the necessary pieces in place for the next generation to have a miracle?
Even if you die taking a stand, the next generation will inherit your will and move forward.
Yes please continue this I really like them.
Luffy could ask Shanks to help them get back to the East Blue as well. There are two issues with this: 1, Luffy and Shanks are both Yonko now so if they meet up then the Marines might notice, and 2, Luffy doesn't WANT to meet Shanks again until he's King of the Pirates, but the things that makes this likely are that Shanks obviously knows what it's like to loose a crew member. Or not really a crew member in his case, but his Captain. We saw how devastated he was in a flashback. And we also know that Yonko are able to basically traverse to and from the Grand Line whenever they want.
