also it should be noted that before getting almost defeated by Sulong Inu and Neko he almost single handeldy defeated the entire rest of the Sulong Army (with the help of a Number and some fodder who I suspect weren't much help)...imo that's one of the most impressive and underrated off-screen feats we've ever seen (well we didn't see it, but it happened) Also the Sulong form itself did Jack dirty, because in my headcanon that was by far the strongest we've seen any of the Wano Samurai get...none of the others had such an all around power hack ability, and without it they actually stood no chance. It would've been interesting to see how a prolongued fight between Jack and Ashura Doji or Denjiro would've turned out (as they were potrayed as the strongest Samurai, but without Sulong)...but without any confirmation I can only guess that the fight we did get was the necessary choice as Jack would've deafeated anyone else (who wasn't preoccupied with an even stronger foe at the time).

Like knowing about the Sun God belief but not adhering to it, not joining the Sun Pirates, eating a Devil Fruit. He could have been a "bad timeline" version of Jinbei.

A younger sibling being bullied by everyone in the family. Well, they will not negotiate, they will not be reasonable, they act eradically and with pure anger and rage. There is no reason or negotiating. He is literally portrayed as a younger sibling start to finish. He comes from an abusive family where he is bullied and abused mercilessly from his siblings. So he is letting out his pent up rage and anger. 100% accurate younger abused sibling behaviour start to finish.

The only thing they messed up about Jack is they made his Devil Fruit a stupid fucking 4 legged mammoth. He looks so dumb in that form. He'd be super cool in the fight if he was more humanoid with his mammoth form more edge suiting his personality. That way we could have had an edgelord battle between him dogstorm, cat viper. So you just had CatViper and DogStorm looking like hella badasses, while Jack is looking dumb asf it nerfs the fight and tension so bad. Also it's clear as day his performance was better outside of his Zoan elephant form, he's a better humanoid fighter.

[@PlanetZoidstar]

Carrot should have been the one to defeat Jack. It would justify her ascension to Duchess showing she can step up and defeat the one who brutalised her people. Put aside her personal vendetta against Perospero and protect her people from the one who most likely would come back for round 2 with Zou in a timeline where the raid fails.

[@RedXlV]

I suppose that would've been a bit questionable in terms of power scaling for Carrot to surpass Inuarashi and Nekomamushi so quickly, but hey, this is One Piece. Characters get stronger really fast all the time. Just think about how in a few days Luffy went from getting oneshot by Kaido (after Kaido effortlessly tanked all of his best attacks) to being able to beat him. But yes, having Carrot do what Inuarashi and Nekomamushi couldn't and take down Jack in a one-on-one fight would've made it far less of a "where did that come from?" moment to have her be named the new leader of the Minks.

[@PlanetZoidstar]

@@RedXlV Exactly. Characters will get a strength boost as Oda sees fit. Look at Law. He went from weaker than Dolfamingo to being able to take hits from Yonko in a matter of weeks, with no suggestion he fought at all in the interim. He also awoke his DF offscreen as well without explanation. And if we're talking about insane gains look no further than Zoro and Luffy, the former learning and mastering Conq. Haki in a single arc, and the latter mastering all 3 forms of Haki & awakening his DF in that time. Carrot is heavily implied to be a Prodigy among Minks since she mastered Sulong at 15. Even Pekoms of the Big Mom Pirates can't claim that. When he went Sulong he lost control, and the vast majority of Sulong Minks on the roof got no diffed by Jack, only the Dukes could take him. She very nearly beat Perospero (who no diffed Chopper and Brook on WCI, and is comparable to Jack given how Oda mirrored them losing to the Dukes, and admitted if not for the moon being covered he'd have lost - so this puts Carrot well above the average Musketeer Mink) and One Piece is all about the new generation taking over from the old. Having Carrot lose to Perospero and get promoted anyway feels unearned. It feels more like a narrative cheat so Oda can write her out of the story than it being the logical progression for her character. Carrot choosing to forgo personal revenge to protect her people would show growth for her character and make her promotion to Duchess feel earned.

[@Deathmare235]

She could’ve at least defeated peresporo at least, she needed to defeat at least one of them

[@PlanetZoidstar]

@@Deathmare235 Yeah. There's no good thematic or narrative reason I can think of for why Oda had Carrot lose to Perospero. It's not a powerscaling issue because Oda will Zenkai Boost his protagonists if he wants them to win (and she would have won if the moon didn't get covered), so having Carrot lose was a deliberate choice. At first I thought it was to show how her motivation of revenge was misguided and wrong...But then much of the reason the Scabbards want to kill Kaido and Orochi is to avenge Oden - and they are never shown as being wrong for this. Plus Cat Viper defeats Perospero anyway (to avenge Pedro) so the "revenge is bad" message does not hold up for why Oda had Carrot lose. Having her get promoted anyway is dumb because she did not earn it.

5:58 The quote about them being an unstopable zombie army is quite funny, knowing that Geko Moria created a zombie army after Kaido killed his original crew.

[@thebonfireofgains]

Jack committed cultural genocide and ends up a joke People think Big Mom turned into a joke but thats not true. She has humor but she was always frightening and held a real power not just in her ridiculous devil fruit but in her empire of children and countries. Jack killed many Minks and traumatized a generation but somehow he returns to Wano a joke. I still don't get it. Its not like how Gear 5 is intentionally created to bring Kaido down to the level of mockery. This one was downright not very good writing from an otherwise peak author in a peak arc

[@Dronk.D.Scales]

That’s the point to show how dangerous his superiors are Jack was a disaster a mad man that would destroy an island if the people annoyed him and the it turns out that same scary monster is the runt of his trio It sets up how much scarier King and Queen are

[@Higsby100]

Jack was a good reminder that the crew you're on, and what they do, has a greater effect on bounty than actual danger.

[@cramusayshi]

Honestly, when Jack was first shown he was an absolute menace! A monster of monsters even compared to some like doffy. I was really sad when they turned a natural disaster into a joke in wano😓 I am not one to really criticize Oda for writing the one piece as it is in my opinion one of the best stories written, but he really did Jack dirty.

[@Batrstad]

Im pushing the idea that Jack is actually Kaidos nephew. He had a hard upringing and Kaidos just trying to give him some direction. Kaido may be a bad Dad, but hes a surprisingly good Uncle! Kaido literally "You did good kid ya tried, now go get a snack and take a break"

[@thutaaung2708]

Jack is such an L that even if he takes W his name becomes Wack.

[@SkuntCabbage]

Love how eloquently you explain fictional pirates 🦜

[@willbrashear]

I think when they realized they needed to shorten Wano they brought in Big Mom to kill two emperors with one lava pit. That left Jack to be placed behind King, Queen, and Charlotte Perospero. Charlotte Perospero wasn't even a Sweet Commander so not sure why it was him and not one of the others besides justice for Pedro.

[@Alexej09]

His haircut is the real crime.

[@spinningpig2347]

Hell nah the viking/barbarian look suits him very well

[@thymerhemann3230]

GLR: Jack had a bounty of 1 BILLION berries, which at the time was the highest bounty we had ever seen. Whitebeard: am I a joke to you? (5.046 billion)

[@Truck-kun11]

Jack is the Sanji from the Beast Pirates. He is strong, but he is constantly made to look bad to hype up other characters and unlike Sanji he doesn't have the luxury of being one of the protagonists so he never has the moments of redemption that Sanji has from time to time.

[@yami122]

Honestly I found it kind of strange how both the big mom pirates and the beast pirates Have three elite generals But each one of those three has one member that just doesn't amount to anything like why not just make it too elite generals. because smoothie and Jack were completely irrelevant Really do a disservice to the strength of the emperor they serve

[@Dontdoit_]

Didn’t Jack have to fight Fujitora, Tsuru and Sengoku

[@KoKhaing-dk2ff]

It an off screen fight

[@Amino2121333]

I think the Jack matchup in wano arc should have gone to Usopp, Brook or even Chopper. Mainly because they had no enemy to take on and strictly in support positions, but also because this arc showed that the Crew needed more firepower/finishing blow type attacks to take out such durable enemies. And these 3 are severely lacking when it comes to this level of opponent. Luffy, Zoro and Sanji naturally grew as they do every arc, jinbei got his first power showing and Franky had the shogun any way. But even Robin and Nami found ways to increase their power in the form of demon forms and Zeus-directed lightning. I get oda was done with Jack, but all the more reason to have him as a brick wall at this level, forcing the crew to level up during battle. Especially seeing how they all care so much about the minks. Hell i'd argue even Page One was under utilized, but he was just a device to hype Big mom in the end.

[@thunderwearcloud]

13:20 From Zou Jack to Wojak

[@yeremiaputra7213]

or Wojack Elephantman

[@_G.C]

I think the 2 biggest things is that he's shown to be stopped by the two mink leaders individually, along with one of his only devastating moves being a gas bomb that someone else created (which was mostly prevented)

[@architectpiperr4918]

Jack is the closest thing to kaido's son

[@michaelhampton1724]

I would disagree that Jack's interactions with the other beast pirates ruined his character, if anything I'd say it gives his character motivation, he's a natural disaster due to the constant ridicule of king and queen and babying by kaido. Could give him an overwhelming desire to prove himself. Though I will agree oda feel short on delivering on that. Though he had like 100 characters to introduce in wano and there was just no way to really give that attention to him. Also using him as a tool to show how strong other characters are probably because oda didn't wanna use queen or any of the topi for that. Why? Idk

[@TheWarmachine375]

Kaido - The Frieza King and Queen - The Zarbon and The Dodoria Flying Six - The Ginyu Force Jack - The Vegeta Doflamingo - The Raditz

[@deletedTestimony]

Swap the last two.

[@Pokeredi.]

Jack is the Cui Yamato is the vegeta (since she betrayed kaidou just like vegeta betrayed frieza)

[@HatredSonneillon]

Jack getting bullied by his older brother figures makes me think he wrecks other places to unload that anger. The whole violence begets violence thing.

[@darkron288]

I honestly blame alot of wano's villian problems on the dumb decision to bring big mom to wano instead of defeating her back on whole cake, every scene with big mom in wano SHOULD have been used to give the villians of wano more screen time and depth instead of wasting time on the villian of the previous arc. Big mom's presence in wano really hurt the arc overall more than it helped

[@Skycastle]

More than*

[@michaelhuber7204]

Problem is that in order to defeat BM on WCI the entire story would've had to be changed. In the scenario we got (half the SHs infiltrating WCI and Luffy not even knowing about advanced haki) there was absolutely no way Oda could've written a believable BM downfall that wouldn't have looked completely unrealistic.

[@NoName......]

Yeah but if we did defeat her on wc we probably wouldn't have gotten the fight with katakuri.

[@giantenemycrab1192]

honestly i agree that big mom shouldnt have been on wano but not her losing on wci, she should've been saved for a future elbaf arc where we get to see Luffy vs Big Mom as a showing of how far Luffy has come where he beats a character on a level relative to kaido much easier.

[@Raigekon]

@@giantenemycrab1192 The problem is that Kaido was hyped up too much, so beating Big Mom after would be unimpressive, unless the strawhat crew without Luffy would actually beat her.

[@ParadoxxGrey]

Jack was one of those villians who just seemed so threatening by himself, but I feel like his entire purpose in wano was to make us more scared of Kaido, King, and Queen. Because we all saw how scary Jack was in Zou, and those 3 just treat him like a pest. I think he got severely downplayed to make them more of a threat. I love this series, you should do Lucci soon. Water 7/Ennies Lobbey was fantastic, and I feel like he and the rest of CP9 were a big part of it. (Alo it'd be kinda fitting to cover him after seeing him get his butt kicked on Egghead)

[@freakydeaky1435]

sanji the drought, he's so thirsty that everywhere he goes people think there's a drought.

[@roronoauchiha69]

He was introduced as the right hand man of kaido, I wonder what changed for oda to make up a new right hand man in king

[@ByteDWolf]

Since you mentioned him in this video, please do donut lord Katakuri next.

[@DBArtsCreators]

Theory: Jack represents how Kaido was perceived and treated when he was a Rocks member (as well as representative of how strong he was at the time), with King & Queen being analogous to Whitebeard & Big Mom (and perhaps Kaido to Xebec) or something to that effect.

[@MrZero_19]

I was very disappointed when he lost to Ashura Doji🤦🤦🤦🤦

[@Johnywang1]

Y? Doji (the pink samuria) is a sword master. One of the best samurais in the country .

[@KatakuriGlazer]

​@@Johnywang1yes.... But he is one of red scabbards... Just like Kinemon. Jack isnt even close to Queen and King, or even Cracker

[@rjoptc2444]

Really fun idea to think about what if he was defeated in Zou. That definitely would have made Wano less bloated and interesting to see who would have taken his spot as one of the All-Stars. Cool video Liam!!

[@armormartin4267]

Even if Jack was brutally disrespected in Wano, he is still one of my favorite characters. Seeing this arc in the anime legitimately made me wonder how Luffy was going to defeat kaido if he is the boss of this bloodthirsty monster. Plus without Jack, we wouldn’t have the “Raizo is safe” moment, which is arguably one of the best one piece moments

[@solidkwon]

Never considered Jack’s defeat by Zou as the land enduring a natural disaster as it always does. Wow that is really good analysis

[@OzzinaArcane]

Seeing Jack get pushed around in Wano makes his rampage in Zou look like he was doing it to vent steam.

[@34Nor]

I am eagerly await Foxy's S+ tier golden spot. But I understand why you're saving him Mr. GrandLineReview. Always the best for last.

[@andyt.6143]

I really heard Jack's introduction and thought: ''Damn, we're supposed to beat that monster??'' I worried for real. But then nothing happened And i forgot.
