I think Sanji vs Aokiji is a good match up, but what about Yamato? She is clearly facing Topman/mercury.

[@mrbubbles6468]

I still think Aokiji and Akainu are playing the long game. After all, Akainu straight up said to the Elders that they don’t need to worry bout Aokiji

[@Rude_Boi]

Oh for sure. Even BlackBeard knows that Kuzan isn't all the way 100% with him. BlackBeard was already a traitor to the WB Pirates, and his own crew doesn't trust him. He is just like Rocks D. Xebec.

Yes ! Thank you! I always said, why would a man (Akainu) who only cares about absolute justice, and Navy image, not care that an ex Admiral is a pirate?! There's got to be something more to it.

Do you mean that you think Aokiji is working as a double agent for Akainu? Because, I think they are truly ideologically opposed.

[@treesnip5667]

I've always thought that Kuzan's matchup would be with Nico Robin given their history together. And that their "fight" would be Robin convincing him to leave the Blackbeard Pirates. But if a Strawhat is going to have a physical fight with Kuzan it'd have to be with Sanji.

You cooked too hard with this one, I really like the idea of Sanji either accidentally or intentionally helping Zoro forge his blades black (in ten seconds mid fight just like on LRLL) and I know there's no way it'll actually happen. As for the bulk of the theory, you've convinced me that Aokiji vs Sanji is a viable matchup (also that thumbnail is immaculate who did the art) and your chain of logic made me realize that both Sanji and Aokiji were the most reluctant to follow their own dreams (instead of being halted by outside forces) until some laughing maniac refused their refusal either through honeyed words or sheer belligerence.

[@becktrovato6737]

No, no he didn’t, sanji isn’t able to fight one of the navy’s strongest men(I’m a sanji fan and I know that)(this guy either cooks so hard of makes no fucking sense)

[@MyNamesHunter75]

@@becktrovato6737 I'd agree kinda but sanji isn't even at his strongest yet same with any of the strawhats luffy included while I do think Aokiji is 100% stronger than kizaru as kizaru was just an admiral who has no real sense of justice and was heavily torn during egghead so he made us think admirals are weaker than they likely actually are now. Sanji taking on Aokiji would be doable especially by the time they do fight. Luffy winning against the strongest creature for instance happened. Sanji with a 330,000,000 bounty beat queen who had a 1,320,000,000. Was the second strongest in kaidou's (not including kaidou himself) crew and won.

[@MyNamesHunter75]

I feel like if black blades aren't forged by the user alone it takes away the importance of them. Black blades are the truest sign of a master swordsmen in one piece if you just needed strong haki and a black flame to make them mihawk should have had every monkey have a black blade. a blade being black in general raise the grade of a sword so having it be so simple would feel like a massive let down. Forged likely is referring to forged in battle over actually forging it

Sanji unlocking black flames has been a theory even before he got Ifrit Jambe but it would be kinda cool if its not fully black and have a bit of purple on it. My theory for its name is Iblis Jambe since that would be an upgrade after Ifrit. Can you make a video on the future upgrades of luffy + the new monster trio since after wano it seems like they have a demonic theme going on (excluding jimbei)

[@neilconway4939]

​​​@@RealityBasedI think that Imu and the Goresei will be jumped by multiple forces, pirates, Navy, and revolutionaries alike, because right now the Celestial Dragons are everyone's op. And once Imu is defeated I imagine that that's when Blackbeard gets his hands on the ancient weapons while everyone else is fighting, and he gets his hands on a third Devil Fruit. And when the fight ends the Blackbeard Pirates jump the Red Haired Pirates while Cross Guild jumps the Strawhats. The Strawhats will defeat Cross Guild, but the Blackbeard Pirates will not just defeat but kill the Red Haired Pirates, all in the meantime awaken their Devil Fruits during their biggest battle yet before their clash with the Strawhats. Then it's the Strawhats vs Blackbeards.

He was shown to have a black blade already in the recent monsters animation, but not in the original monsters, so I’m not sure! He made a name for himself before Monsters happened so I am suspecting he did something before then that made it black

[@mrbubbles6468]

‘Sengoku suggested him for a reason’ Considering he’s friends with Garp, the possability of him making a bad mistake is high. And considering the first thing Aokiji did was join the Pirate that told Sengoku he was going to cover the world in darkness…Sengoku makes rather big mistakes.

The iconic scene at Arlong Park. With Nami and the hat, rescuing Robin from Enies lobby, rescuing Sanji from whole cake, getting Jimbei out of jail, saving Zoro from execution, helping Brook get his shadow setting him free, and saving the village Chopper, Franky, and Usopp were from. When it comes to the final battle, I want to see Luffy get knocked down and in his moment of defeat every Strawhat pull up against Blackbeard or Imu ( whomever the final villain is) and firght and protect Luffy into he could fight again. It would be a full circle moment as in Luffys greatest time of need his crew was therejust like he was for them.

My theory is that kuzan will have his sense of justice restored either fighting kobe or sanji and end up joining sword or a type of reformed marine faction that opposes the world government in the final battles.

[@jonathansiburian6540]

for ppl who think kizaru(borsalino) is gonna join the strawhat and is actually gonna fight kuzan

[@CONQUESTCOMICS_OFFICIAL]

Hey @DaksSake, I am only halfway into the video but something else to consider is that the swirls of Sanji's eyebrows represent energy (which is perpetual) and Kuzan's powers are cold, which is the inverse. So, I think we're going to find that Kuzan's motivations are much darker than we initially suspect. For while Sanji is driven by passion and a desire to see the world united, it is likely we will find that Kuzan wants to see everything dismantled and shutdown so tragedy cannot occur again BECAUSE of a loss of passion in his life, be it someone or something he has become disillusioned with.

[@guardiantree8879]

[@victorbatista609]

22:25 for shusui it could be the dragon he beat at the end of the one-shot

[@Katsuraage]

Dak, was it your theory that Long Ring Long Land's 10 islands were the points in the crown of the entrance to Laugh Tale when Aqua Laguna removes some of the water from the area? I want to call back to that theory. If we get 10 Straw Hats vs 10 Titanic Captains (And we know that we'll be getting our final SH member soon if everything goes well) then each Straw Hat fighting on one of the islands against BB's crew also has an extra layer of symbolic meaning. The BB pirates would see it as Divide and Conquer, a way to isolate them , but the Straw hats would have the stance of "No matter how far apart we are, our hearts beat as one" and would be an extension of the moment Robin was happy that Sanji trusted in her. Personally I want Vivi in the crew by this point, but I have no idea how she would be yonkou crew ready, power-wise without something like Kuma's fruit. Luffy would obviously fight BB in the center if this was the case

[@DaksSake]

Completely, 100% agree that the fights happening on each of the 10 islands would be perfect. Thing is, there are 11 members if you count the captains. So maybe the members each fight on 1 of the 10 points, and the captains are at laughtale which is underneath it (or maybe they even bring laugh tale to the surface in the middle)

[@langstonbelcher4019]

Ngl this makes so much sense looking at the matchups for the bb crew everybody has someone they can face head on except Sanji who is obviously stronger than ppl like Burgees

I like the symbology of the fight from a meta view how kuzan use to ascribe to “fiery justice” then became jaded and…cold over the years (puns very much intended) then going along with “lazy justice” and now i believe we don’t have a definite view of his now but on the opposite of that fight we have a similar combatant currently a very fiery passionate fighter constantly worried due to the nature of the Germa tech that he could become cold, heartless, and jaded

[@willbrashear]

One could say that there are 11 straw hats not counting Vivi. Yamato was asked to join and she accepted. She just did not take off with the Crew yet as jjinbe also had a quest to complete before officially joining. I believe the reason is Jinbe still has a straw hat fight or two to be welcomed fully though he feels welcomed by the crew.

[@n1hondude]

Logias and Paramecias are essentially the same, the only difference is that Logias ARE the element, and Paramecias can only create the substance in question. NON Zoan awakenings AFFECT THE ENVIRONMENT, which means they don't come out of the main user. Remember, all awakenings are just techniques, not not all techniques are awakenings. Using Doffy who IS a stringman, who is the SOURCE of the string as an example -- "cloning" = technique -- "flying" = technique -- puppeteering = technique -- "healing" - technique -- turning buildings into strings, i.e. make the buildings be the source of strings = AWAKENING, aka a technique That means that it's implied Kuzan is ALREADY AWAKANED and Punk Hazard is the LITERAL PROOF. It literally became the "source" of chill, of ice.

Black Flame Sanji vs Awakened Aokiji over Charlotte Pudding -- Some time after Sanji's win, he marries his former fiancee and they rule over Totto Land, and potentially Germa Kingdom as well, going far beyond what Big Mom intended for them and finally settling Sanji's exuberantly romantic nature on one woman who is receptive, at least when she's not relapsing into her behavior from when she was trying unsuccessfully to hate him.

[@shayoko6]

The most jarring thing about akainu is that 1 cover page which shows his upper body exposed and he has the SWORD member symbol. despite the main story making it impossible to believe he would be part of it. then again i'm sure X Drake did horrible stuff off screen and he is also a part of it. would sanji be able to fight akoji though? if i understand correctly the only people that have broken free from being frozen in the story, have Conquerors haki. something sanji lacks. are his flames going to replace this or somehow negate the possibility of being frozen? which it seems happens instantly.

Kuzan says unlike before when he was a Marine involved in the buster call in Ohara, he cannot let Robin off the hook now that he is a Pirate and that he must follow his Captain's order. 3. I can't really imagine Robin screaming for help but i guess Sanji somehow hears the scream of her heart anyway and comes to her aide. Paralleling how Robin came to Sanji's aide when he screamed his lungs out asking for it. (to help fight an enemy they just couldn't fight against)

I think where akainu has his absolute justice, we’ll see aokiji’s justice is more “lesser of 2 evils” justice. He realized at Ohara that there is no absolute justice, just trade offs, and sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the greater good. So his plan was to climb to the top of the navy where he could make the calls to protect as many people as possible, but when he lost to Akainu and was subsequently approached by black beard who told him the goal of the black beard pirates was to take over the world, he came to the conclusion that far less civilians would die with black beard in charge than the celestial dragons, so he chose to join black beard believing him to be the lesser of 2 evils. That would also explain why he didn’t pull any punches against Garp. His goal might actually be to completely destroy the navy and rebuild a military force from the ground up that is meant to protect the innocent without being forced to carry out orders from the celestial dragons. I do still think he’ll betray black beard eventually, but I think it’ll be more of a talk no jutsu thing where he realizes he was wrong to fight for black beard as he’s getting his ass handed to him by the straw hats.

Whatever that kind of haki Shanks used to arrive on kids ship so instantly

IDK why but I have got a feeling that Kizaru will ally with the strawhats/ join them if he leaves the marines at the end of the arc and will fight Kuzan

I still can't believe that Sanji specifically trained his Observation Haki to hear women in danger😂
