[@vicentrostepher5313]

@@classical7370 dude Idk, I believe it was some sort of Q&A where it was first brought up, but I don't remember. I do know that more or less since then, there have been multiple people either confirming or denying this, by using facts from the show to calculate the mass of the planet and/or its size. I don't know which one happened first, the math or the question, I don't know how to find it, just search for yourself. I saw it like 3-7 years ago if that helps, I do not care anywhere near enough to go look it up for you. That's the best answer I can give you, just search it man.

[@xYottabyte]

I also saw a source that says the One piece world's size is about 2.7 times bigger than Earth, like a super earth, though saying 100x sounded so exaggerated to me since that would mean 100 earths (to me anyway)

[@incription]

@@vicentrostepher5313 oda has never explicitly stated the size of anything, apart from some islands. He probably doesnt care about the size of the world and in general most stuff he draws is out of proportion and scale constantly (sunny is meant to be 50 meters tall but he regularly draws it smaller or bigger depending on context)

[@hels7]

Great video! As a climatologist, I just want to point out that maybe the world of one piece spins differently around the sun and that may be causing the formation of such strong and one directional current (the Grand line) and also having more effects. I say this on the base that the direction of the ocean and wind currents is actually influenced by the Coriolis force, so the rotation of the Earth. Maybe it's an idea worth exploring! Thanks for the great video!

[@AlexT7916]

Also the One Piece world has 6 moons ( as we saw on the globe inside the library of Ohara ) . How would having that many moons affect the weather ?

[@superzeno9087]

@@AlexT7916 lol yeaj

[@abel3557]

Also the one piece world is many times larger than earth

[@Zurenza]

@@AlexT7916 Depends, small and far away moons wouldn't effect it much. But, one piece's world seems to be much larger than ours as all of it's moons are Sphere's(Moons like Mars are too small to become sphere's through gravity.), so i'd assume that the moons in One Piece are somewhere between 1/4th to 1.5x's the size of our own. Our moon is capable of causing tide's with a difference of up to 10-20 feet. It's safe to assume that the One Piece moon we see the most is similar to our own, so that one has a lot of pull, the other's though probably don't have any pull because we can't see them in the night sky and most inhabitants of the world seem to think there's only 1 moon as well(Including the Mink's who are linked to the moon.). I'd say the other 5 moons have no real influence on the oceans of one piece, and that the primary one is most likely similar to our own(Albiet with an ancient civilization on it.)

[@probablynotdad6553]

@@Zurenza there's one fairly small moon that's almost right on top of the planet based off the models in Ohara, and itt seems like it might never move from that spot

[@antrondon3654]

In the Amazon river we have a thing called pororoca, where the river reverses and the ocean flows inland into the continent for 800km with waves that can reach 6 meters in hight. I think that's a more similar analog to reverse mountain then those waterfalls.

[@pascuagon]

Interesting! I'll definitely keep a note of this for future videos.

[@heynhamnham]

To me one of the most amazing things geographically is the Fishman Island. It's literally an island inside a bubble, and you still get sunlight there even though it's super super deep in the ocean. The fact that the tree's roots go down there is just amazing to see. Other thing I love the most is how the societies adapted into their crazy geographies, you see Water 7 is now floating somewhere at the see because they couldn't handle more tsunamis (and it seems there is the only place with tsunamis ¿). The fact that the world itself is a mystery in One Piece, even the people there don't know how things came to be like this, they don't even know how many islands are out there!!! Imagine if Nami publishes her world map, it would change everything

[@lucifer0405]

The aqua laguna in water 7 wasn’t a Tsunami though, it was a storm surge. It’s a bit different

[@pascuagon]

Yeah Fishman Island brings up lots of things to talk about. It's not too different from the real world in that different societies have adapted in different ways to similar issues.

[@MultiMurge]

As a geography major and a major one piece fan, this video is absolutely perfect for me. Keep up the great work!

[@pascuagon]

Thanks!

[@SoraToshiAki]

When i first realised one piece had 6 or so moons, i immediately began to think how it would be affecting tides and overall climate.. but using the example of fronts clashing is much better i suppose to explain sudden changes in the climates.

[@Evens27]

Maybe, they're not moons. Even though technology in OP world is pretty advanced in some way, the world itself is still extremely basic. Remember that, One Piece story is around 1400/1500 year (Maybe less). They're learning to discover they own world right now, it's not expected accurate knowledge about things out of the planet. I always asked myself, if the OP world has 6 or 7 moons, what's the reason for Oda only draw 1 moon in nocturne panels of the story. And the answer is actually pretty simple: The geocentric theory. That model in Ohara isn't just the planet itself but how they view the solar system, with the earth in the center of everything. This explains why we never saw more than 1 moon from the planet perspective.

[@michaelliebow735]

If there are multiple moons working on a planet there is a lot of variables to consider. This is part of the reason Newton was stuck at a system of two masses and no more than that. Nowadays I am sure if you look hard enough there is a simulation to show multiple variable mass bodies acting on eachother. The real crazy thing would be if there moons are in a state of tidal lock, the same side always faces the planet, and if it there were if it were all moons or only some of them.

[@nathanlevesque7812]

@@michaelliebow735 maybe they only see one moon at a time bc of tidal locking but they are still there

[@kidluffy4469]

Wait one piece has 6 moons dam

[@pascuagon]

The moons could absolutely also be a factor! Here's hoping Oda explains their existence sometime soon.

[@TheSnoopKat]

The most interesting part of the One Piece world for me is the Sky Islands! Specifically the types of clouds (always wanted to be a cloud). The idea that there are Sea Clouds that can float in the air and hold your ship at the same time is awesome. I also liked how Oda fleshed out the other clouds for them to use architecturally. Dials, all that. You should definitely do more videos. You did a great job with this one!

[@TheSnoopKat]

Oh I forgot to mention the Knock-up stream, that's cool stuff too.

[@FarronMoon]

I believe that the four blues are essentially "pushing" against the red line at all times due to both pressure and the irregular presence of such a super continent. It's been implied that the red line is not a natural occurrence so the displacement may have a significant impact on sea currents near the landmass. Nami even notes that as soon as you reach a certain distance from the line, a ship will start to be basically tugged into the currents with no escape.

[@Mikeyuubi]

Wow, what a fantastic video! Felt like I was back in school, but I was enjoying myself this time! xD It's honestly crazy how carefully crafted Oda made his world when having it broken down like this. Incredible video bro, editing was superb too!

[@pascuagon]

Yeah man OP is just one of those stories where you can get lost in the details. It's great! Now I'm not saying that Oda thought of all these things when creating his world, but they're close enough to our own world that we can apply a geographic lens to learn some cool things!

[@HubiKoshi]

Something to consider about the climates on various islands are the effects of Devil Fruits. We've seen that on one particular island, Punk Hazard where the fight between Akainu and Aokiji took place. Even two years after that fact the island is Still divided into a hot and cold side. You'd think that after all this time the climate on it would average out and return to normal but it didn't. That's why I have a strong suspicion that Awakened Logias have the capacity to permanently alter the climate of an island where they are utilized.

[@3Rayfire]

I think the craziest thing about One Piece geography is Enies Lobby. Not just that it's an island suspended over a void or the nature of the Gates of Justice (though that's crazy too), but the fact that it's an All Day Island/Never night Island. It's an island on the equator effectively that is perpetually in the Afternoon. No matter how much I chew it over I can't figure out how that works.

[@jamesond.ferguson1037]

I was a geography anthropology major in college before I had to join the military because I couldn’t afford college anymore. I really love cartography and archeology and am still passionate about these subjects. One of the reasons I love one piece other than growing up with it is it makes both of these subjects a vital part of the world building. Cool video and would be cool to see more geography related content

[@jasser2453]

[@Comuniity_]

Small correction, this is before this was revealed so its not your fault, but the grand line is not the equator and the redline is not the prime meridian or a meridian in general. In a chapter from a few months ago we see a map of the OP world with a compass rose and the compass is tilted at about 45 degrees iirc, so the redline and grandline create a massive X

[@a_mets1506]

For the magnetic islands of the grand line, they might have unusual metal deposits in them. In Australia we have Magnetic Island, which does that.

[@Firechief2471]

[@painfish208]

Along with the sky islands and fishman islands, something worth addressing is the geographic nightmare that is Enie’s Lobby. It’s not at either of the poles, on the equator (Grand Line) and yet it’s somehow daytime 24/7.

[@Shinobi_Dude420]

"Warm air rises, Cold Air falls(uses dead Ace as an eg." 07:45... You're sick man 😂

[@ColMcWillis]

I imagine the function of the Reverse Mountain to be closer to a Tidal Bore. In this case, underwater currents move with such speed and force that when they hit the grand line and/or calm belt they are directed to the carved channels of land where they ascend and maintain speed with wind assistance till they reach the top.

Based on the naming of the 4 Blues, I'd always assumed that the magnetic "axis" is way tilted in comparison to the Red Line, like 45°. Otherwise North and East Blue would share the pole, but it's said to be only in the North Blue.

As far as I know there is one example of a magnetic Island. There is a small island off the east coast of Australia called Iron Island. It's basically all iron ore there and the areas around that sea affect the compasses to some degree.

lmao, using ace to describe warm and cold air was hilarious

[@mitchellmillimaki01]

This was a great video, I felt like I learned a lot. My favorite geographic/island thing is One Piece is really the Sky Islands. Those obviously most likely could never exist in the world we live in, but looking at the sky islands it gives me a real sense of adventure. When first seeing Skypiea I was honestly amazed at how different it was and how the culture there is different from any other One Piece island or country. That is definitely one of the things I enjoy about One Piece the most is that every island and every country feels as though it's unique in it's own way, in not only culture but just how it looks geographically as well.
