There is a quote that's floating around stating it's 10x. But either way it's a lot larger than earth. THen you have people that don't understand how math works calculating One Piece is nearly the size of the sun ... which... come on man just traveling oceans that size would take years without jet engines so clearly that's not correct. 10x is at least possible even if that does feel perhaps a tad too large.

[@grimauc]

theres a lot of inconsistencies when trying to work out the size of the one piece planet. ive seen calculations done that place it at: 2-3x the size; 10x the size, and at the extremes, either 3,000x the size, or 0.0015x the size 0.0015 is the only one i remember the reasoning for, i think the first time the sunny used coup de burst, they flew 1km away, and there wasnt anything in sight from before they used it, indicating that the horizon on the planet is at most 1km away, (a planet with a 1km horizon would have a radius of roughly 10km, unlike earths 6,000km) i think the general consensus though, is that the one piece world is somewhat bigger than earth, just not know how much bigger

A couple of things matt didnt mention: - one piece planet has 6 moons to effect the tide - the planet is huge, alabasta is the size of australia based on canon measurements, and theres still a vast amount of ocean around it with the calm belt not in sight

[@bonchitogovindodas3333]

It had 6 moon once probably (from the Ohara model). But in the current timeline, there is only one moon (where enel went and HQ of space pirates). Also, there are quite a few references to the phases of the moon there for different planning (raid,...). Oda also draws different phases of the moon. So, it is yet to be seen.

[@flusel4949]

Where does it say Alabasta is about the size of Australia? Not negating that fact, just curious.

[@acduels]

Their was a measurement in a Wano chapter and if you measure Wano by that measurement it means Wano is the size of Earth itself

[@mlmf2012]

@flusel4949 it is from the measurement of the sandora river which which vivi states is 50km wide. Usopp asked her how far to the other side (of where they are currently crossing) indicating she wasnt refering to the river's mouth but the "thinner" sections inside the country. For reference australia is 4,000km wide from east to west, so just 80 sandora rivers side by side would cover the whole continent

[@SmokeyKoosh]

This was never confirmed, and it's far more likely that those "moons" are just other planets, its a heliocentric model.

[@anthonysturt8406]

You're forgetting a crucial detail, there, MatPat! It's true that the mountains in California cast a rain shadow over the regions to the east, but that region is almost entirely dry land. If the world of One Piece is 90% water, then most of the area affected by the 'rain shadow' will be ocean. Almost all rain that falls on land starts in the ocean. While the area won't be receiving moisture from the west, it will have its own ocean to contribute moisture to the air.

[@EVER_PRINCE]

Was going to bring this up - every planet is basically its own micro continent

[@soumyadiptadandapat2395]

Moreover the dirn of wind assumed by matpat is wrong as he assumed grandline at equator but rather ints in middle of East and West blue so the wind from middle of West blue will hit the middle of East blue changing

[@Lenwulf]

Growing up is realizing MatPat is an idiot who has no idea what he's talking about in like 99% of his videos. Dunning-Kreuger effect at its finest.

[@million5666]

Honestly, this point is really weak... Does he really believe all the moisture would be trapped on the eastern half of the island. As if the west wouldn't have it's own wind and ocean currents. Like you said only planets in the vicinity of the red line would face this issue. Not even taking into account that areas in the grand line would probably have ways around this do to it's wacky weather system.

I think something interesting to add to this is that water politics is a very real thing in one piece (Alabasta) where the access to water was as central plot point or the more recent raising of the water levels in both the more recent events in the manga or water 7 sinking

[@theorytree842]

Your probably correct but from where I am up to in the series (Start of Alabasta) doesn’t it mention that only Alabasta or Alabasta was really the only one suffering from drought (only major one).

[@Cipher_Paul]

​@@theorytree842 it was mentioned that if Alabasta used dance powder the neighboring countries would also suffer from drought due to clouds raining on Alabasta. This would mean that rain is there only source of fresh water and that there isn't much (otherwise rivers and lakes would have formed, allowing them to be more independent from rain) Also, Alabasta is literally thousands of kilometers away from any other island and yet replenishing the country in water would need require to dry up the sky enough to cause droughts to those same neighboring countries that are thousands of kilometers away. But I don't think it was mentioned other than in this arc.

Please re-do the analysis with consideration that the grandline is not over the equator but actually at an angle as mentioned by Law somewhere around chapter 1000. It would be super interesting to see if the world would be more livable at least climate-wise. Love your videos!!!

Also One PIece's planet is larger than Earth and has deep sea currents to help transport water between quadrants.

[@orlandodiaz2463]

I’m sure Matt hasn’t gotten around to all of one piece. I’m also sure that there are still more interesting details about the planet that haven’t been explored yet. So trying to make a one piece atlas isn’t possible yet. Also don’t forget the civilization in the clouds, I’m sure that effects the climate of the planet too.

[@TheElitesnake1]

Yea he clickbaited and he hasnt gotten enough knowledge yet

[@YetiCoolBrother]

A couple things: 1) The OP world is significantly larger than Earth, there's videos you can find where people have done the calcs (shout out Tekking101). 2) The Red Line & Grand Line intersect at a 45 degree angle (forming an "X" on the planet) as opposed to N-S then E-W. 3) There are powerful deep ocean currents in the OP world that are able to move water back and forth between the seas.

[@TempestOfficialAudio]

[@DarthZ01]

not to mention, the population is significantly less dense, so food and water supplies are typically not going to be an issue on pretty much any island.

[@delerios3877]

Id like to ask: how is is possible for the water to get from one sea to another if the calm belt prevents it? It cant be both calm and strong currents.

[@aaaaaa-gq3dv]

Ok. I've seen countless videos where they get it wrong - even including a recent Tekking101 video btw. No one in the comments EVER mentions it, and it drives me insane every time lol. Why don't people normally realize that for the North Blue to be in the north and for the South Blue to be in the south the Grand Line can't be the equator, it seems so obvious xD Also why does this comment section get at it right??

[@henrybones9314]

A few corrections: 1. One Piece world's regional weather has a much more significant effect on the climate than global monsoons, for example, Little Garden is a tropical island, the one near it, Drum Island is a tundra, and Alabasta is a desert. 2. There are global deep water current systems explained in the Fish-man Island arc that connect the world's oceans other than the Reverse Mountain. One of the weirdest natural phenomena in the One Piece world is the fact that there is breathable air as far out as the moon, shown in Enel's (lightning god guy) coverage story.

I loved the points Matpat made in the video, but as a die hard One Piece can ima have to put in my two cents. Something he neglected to mention, the One Piece world is nearly 3 times larger than earth, so the effects mentioned in the video wouldn’t be as nearly as drastic as if they were to happen in the real world. I think Oda did perfect portrayed the actual struggles perfectly, the islands visited could easily be justified with logic.

[@lookatthepicture4107]

Wouldn't made the effects much more drastic tho? It means less of the planet is being directly heated by the sun thus the red and great calm line blocking the currents more important than if the planet were smaller

[@niello5944]

@@lookatthepicture4107 If the world in One Piece is that large even something the height of the Grand Line would act like a much smaller bump to block the wind. Increase in gravity means the atmosphere is likely to extend much higher than the earth's.

[@Sylfa]

Ocean to cloud coverage is a bit difficult to make hard predictions for, as far as I know. Basically, more ocean to land doesn't mean less rainfall, it likely means *more* rainfall. And while the wind crossing the red line *would* dehydrate the down-wind air, it's still over a great ocean, the drying effect is going to be very temporary. Combine that with the massively larger scale, someone has made the argument that just one area is the size of earth, another one pointed out that a river on one island was 50km wide, putting that island on the scale of Australia. And now here the claim that the world is ~3 times larger. I don't know which claim is more correct, but even on an Earth scale version of this planet I don't foresee too much drought downwind of the red line. Frankly, unless I'm mistaken it has more to do with the position of the planet within their suns Goldilock Zone than the percentage of ocean to landmass. Granted, I could very well be wrong here. I'm sure an actual meteorologist would have more nuanced opinion about it. It just seems like you have to specifically replace Earth's land distribution to that of One Piece to get the very specific results being discussed. And I still find that questionable. Just look at Earths history, what did Pangea look like for instance? Being one super continent it put the "salty oceans" further away from the coasts, yet it was arid and hot for large periods of time. The lack of nearby ocean to form clouds would have an effect on the interior. And all of this doesn't really effect the chance of it being something that could exist. All you need is the right balance of sun to water, and throw in a few evolutions in plants, fungi, and bacteria that take advantage of the salty coast lines and you could have a perfectly working eco system. The discussion is more along the lines of, what if we terraformed Earth to look like One Piece.

I mean, considering that the first few islands that Luffy's group visits after crossing the Red Line are a barren, rocky desert region, a factory on barren rock filled with dangerous and experimental chemicals, and how it specifically states that many islands are ininhabitable directly east of the Red Line, I think the authors and producers actually did a great job portraying that specific struggle.

And as long as you use these theories to strengthen this sort of love for the show, I also don't think the chance of upsetting any fans would be that high.

[@Theguyse]

I haven’t watched one piece, but this didn’t contain many spoilers, so the team did a great job, only shows you characters and tells you about locations

[@ChaiJung]

The problem with his theory is the scope of the mountains compared to the size of the world in OP. There are mountains near most coasts but obviously inland enough there are rampant winds hence why the bread basket of America is famous for tornados. Similarly, for OP, if the islands in the east blue are similarly far away, they wouldn't be affected by his theory as exemplified by the rain in Logue town

[@metazoxan2]

Yeah he's acting like half the planet would jsut NEVER get rain which ... does the think all rain would exclusively come from the west side and get stopped by the mountain? I would get behind a rainless area around the red line but ... that's a bit much. P.S. He also missed the fact there are underwater currents connecting the world's oceans. The ecosystems are still relatively independant but the transportation of water temperature does happen. THis was added as a fact much later in the series so it's possible someone told Olda some of the geological problems with his map and he set out to fix them.

[@strobymilk7496]

One Piece: Has tons of expansive lore and countless unsolved mysteries Matpat: "Water"

[@AnimeOtakuDrew]

I agree that the Calm Belts would be devastating for the ecosystems all over the One Piece world, but I think you're forgetting one key factor when discussing the effect of the Red Line. When the sea winds coming in off the Pacific are stopped by the Cascade Mountains, it turns the other side of the Cascades into a massive desert because that area is a vast stretch of land with very little water of its own, therefore it can't sustain a normal cycle of evaporation and precipitation. However, in the case of the Red Line, the area where the rain shadow would be located is yet another vast ocean that covers half the planet, so that water would be able to evaporate normally and return to the surface as rain. (By the way, even if it DID work the way you described, it wouldn't affect EVERYTHING east of the Red Line; the rain shadow wouldn't extend all the way to where the Red Line crosses again so half of the planet would be barren no more than the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains renders everything to their east inhospitable. Of course the area immediately to the east of the Cascades is desert, and its effect extend as far as the western parts of Texas and Oklahoma, but beyond that are very fertile and thriving plains and forests that reach almost all the way to the Atlantic. The rain shadow would only effect at most one-quarter of the area to the east of the Red Line, and this would not be exclusively in the East Blue, South Blue, and the Paradise half of the Grand Line; you're not thinking in three dimensions. at the other end of those three seas, we would find the prevailing east-blowing winds being stopped by the Red Line and unable to reach the North Blue, West Blue, and New World, so that area would also experience a rain shadow the same as the eastern end of the others, but this is all rendered moot, as I said, because there is plenty of water there for its own evaporation/precipitation cycle.) And I won't even go into how a degree of weather control has been figured out in the One Piece world as covered in the Alabasta Arc. As for the lack of fresh water, just think about this. People develop technologies that solve problems, with the biggest problems being the highest priority. Because the need for fresh water would have been a VERY large problem (probably the biggest problem in the One Piece world), it would have be the focus of many a scientist and inventor, so I have no doubt whatsoever that desalination technology has not only been developed, but is in fact commonplace and has been refined and streamlined far beyond what the real world has since invention is driven by need. Furthermore, because the need is so prevalent, I am sure that many people have developed desalination technology independent of each other and/or have built on the technology invented by others. In short, for such a common need, it wouldn't even be possible for the wealthy to hoard the desalination technology as someone else would just invent it on their own again and again until it is finally created by someone altruistic enough to share it with the whole world freely (and since we know for a fact that the One Piece world has been in its current state and occupied by "civilized" people with the same approximate technological level for AT LEAST the last 800 years, not to mention the Void Century and the higher technology they had then, it is entirely feasible for that to have happened by now). In other words, the only major climatological issue would be the Calm Belts, and depending on EXACTLY how far they reach, there could still be tropical waters beyond them that would allow for currents to spread warmer waters. I personally agree with the theory that the One Piece world is tilted on an axis that places the poles in the North and South Blue, respectively, meaning the equator, rather than following the Grand Line, would go through the middle of the East and West Blue while allowing the southern tips of the North Blue and the northern tips of the South Blue to extend well into the tropical regions. In essence, the Red line and the Grand Line would for a giant X. How much of the North and South Blue extend into tropical waters is still dependent upon the breadth of the Grand Line and the Calm Belts, but on MOST of the maps Oda has drawn in the series it doesn't seem SUPER wide, so I think it should work out. Sorry this ended up so long, but I just had to address some important holes in your theory.

[@greydrafting]

I know very little about the One Piece world, though it fascinates me, and I had many thoughts exactly the same as yours from a world building perspective. I don't think it would necessarily be as harsh with desert vs winter wasteland as said in Mat's video, the tilted axis seems like it would have effects too like you say. Desalination tech would definitely be a super high priority for such a culture, lacking in natural fresh water. Loved the discussion prompted by the video, but glad I wasn't the only one thinking there are other solutions and possibilities. Even in the real world, there are places such as Montana/Alberta that, although on the far side of the Cascades and drier than Oregon/British Columbia, are far from deserts. Though maybe that is another phenomena, or due to their latitude, I am no expert on any of these things...

Matpat you missed a crucial part of the one-piece world that the north, east ,west and south seas are called that way because they are in that direction and the redline doesn't divide the globe in north-south direction rather in a diagonal way from northeast to southwest and vice-versa for the grandline, while it might not make any difference for the theory (maybe) but makes a huge difference in how the weather might work as the heat distribution will change drastically meaning the east n west seas might not be as inhabitable as they seem and this is backed by the characters in the show itself ,for example when the map of the world is shown in the show. Also the size of the planet makes a big impact on everything else it has. I hope you see this and think about it and I hope to see the next videos to be a bit more accurate. And don't feel bad I actually loved the video just thought that I should point out this thing even though it might not be that big or cause an significant impact.

I think they only did their research on the east blue arc since that's what Netflix is adapting.

[@ZzColdzDeathzZ]

​@@sadmanh0yeah they definitely didn't watch far into it or the robot guy would've contradicted the technology thing. Human upgrades and a train that's as fast as a bullet train but able to cross oceans is pretty advanced technology. And if he made it to flamingos story the concept of technology only gets more advanced.

[@EndoftheBeginning17]

The machine that crushed the one island and caused the sea to rise is indicative of terra forming. Also, let's not forget the moon civilization. Despite it only being robots and Enel it's obviously a space faring society

Wow, the Theorist Team must have spend a lot of time on this (simply because 1000+ episodes). Good on them! And interesting question to ask!

[@nace4803]

Yea a fair lot of the information the Theorist Team had is... inaccurate.

[@Mana_Crow]

Once you start it you get trough the story pretty fast if you are reading it.(6 months of a serie you know is great is fast for me when taking your time reading it). The information shown in this video is a pretty good view to the first 100 chapters though. The part about the red line mostly is explained in the first parts and is only a small snippet of a world so rich as this one.

[@dylan1333]

@@nace4803shut up

[@TheDragonClaws]

Reading the manga is faster and the anime has a lot of non-canon events. It's 1000+ episodes in theory, but cut out the fillers and strecth time added to 10 minutes episodes and the episode count will be shorter.

[@asadyousafzai937]

[@Gambler_Airsoft]

When MatPat called the Calico Jack the Jolly Rodger made me a bit sad. The Calico Jack has crossed swords, and the Jolly Rodger has crossed bones so I'm not surprised they get mixed up all the time.

[@soarimg9428]

isn't Jolly Roger just the classic word used for a pirates flag? The flag with the crossed blades is just a different jolly roger design, which was erroneously associated with Calico Jack (at least according to wikipedia)

[@filmfangirls9163]

I think Jolly Rodger is what all pirate flags are called....

[@rmhartman]

The live action version actually worked pretty well.

[@crunchevo8974]

If one show could pull off a crazy cheesy campy live action remake it's one piece. Though the budget it had and the fact a lot of people working on it also adore the show/manga and definitely helped make it good.

It was awful, cut out a ton of scenes and changed plot point for no real reason.

@@clarence3238 The reason is to make it more concise and functional with in the length and frame work of a single season. An adaptation should not attempt to be a one-to-one recreation of the source material as there are certain things that work well in one medium that don't in another.

[@crazyrocket2900]

Water shadows like you described only create drought over land masses. The whole point is that you get moist air from the ocean and then it gets dropped off. Basically it would just mean the red line is half desert half jungle. That drought wouldn't extend to any islands.

[@lokmister]

“No signs they’re gonna stop soon.” Well Oda has apparently said the manga is at about the ‘85% done’ range so the MAIN story will probably end in a few years (maybe) but yeah I don’t doubt the franchise as a whole won’t get more and more stories and lore and adaptations. I really hope this show is successful and Netflix doesn’t pull a Netflix cancelling it after a season or two. It’d be cool to see it go further as a show.

The food can be solved by fishing, the fresh water can be solved by using those simple survival ways/tools or something similar in a largeer scale, it would be easy especially in the islands that only has like one village (i think nami's and usop's islands can be like that), the largest of islands would be like a city, and I think every large island we saw has a complex ecosystem that can help the people survive, like animals, lakes, deap water(i imagine alabasta has those considering it's a desert), plus with a lot of people the islands can more easily thrive to make, invent, and help make their lives easier and have more comfortable live and a bigger possibility to live a survivable easy life, moreover there are talented people in one piece like vegapank and franky and all the water seven people, the water seven itself is a huge artificial island, sanji's dad, the doctor that was in gecko morya's island the adopted father of chopper and his adopted mother,(I don't remember the names), and (spoiler for those who doesn't read the manga) vegapank island is also a technological advancement.

There were some spoilers long before the spoiler warning, imho 😅 Anyways: I get your point, but "less regulation, because every island is pretty much self governed" is a whole other topic to discuss in general. How would you like another theory that's focussing on the political parts of one piece? The world government is extremely broken, so I'm sure there's lots of room for speculation about how it was created and why it worked for hundreds of years 😁

Hey Matpat, in the manga of One Piece, a few panels show that the World of One Piece's North and South poles are actually within the North and South Blue seas, not along the Redline. Also mean that the Grandline and Redline form an X instead of a cross.

Great Theory, I just was expecting Mat to discuss stuff like what he believes happened in the Void Century, what's the true meaning of the Will of D., maybe even a "This Person's Devil Fruit isn't what they think it is!", or what faction had the last Ponoglyph. but also I think I should've expected that from here.
