[@Sandesh_Gee]

In the episode where BB was introduced, they talked about how a crew of 5 destroyed a whole country and just after that Luffy says " Do you know that people from snowy countries never sleep?" And in the scene where BB says " Pirate's dreams never die " he is sitting there alone while on the opposite side there are NAMI, Zoro and Luffy "3 people" . The frame makes it look like a scale and it's balanced perfectly.

[@CheshireCatNY]

I think it has some connection to the 3 goddesses of the moon. “ These three figures are often described as the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone, each of which symbolizes both a separate stage in the female life cycle and a phase of the Moon, and often rules one of the realms of heavens, earth, and underworld.” He ate a third fruit; a mythic zoan of a Hito Hito no Mi based on a moon god/goddess (just as Luffy ate the zoan Sun god fruit) and now he’s divided into three aspects of heaven (the innocent one ), earth (the mature, intelligent one) and the underworld (the malevolent, cruel one) Earth is connected to white beards Gura-Gura no Mi devil fruit with earthquakes and the underworld is connected to the Yami Yami no Mi darkness fruit meaning there could be room for one more associated with heaven. Also explains why in his child portrait he’s drawn sitting under the moon. You’re one of my favorite KZbin channels Liam, always a pleasure when I see you pop up in my front page!

[@TheUnkow]

This also backs the theories that he will get or already has a mythical heavenly zoan devil fruit.

[@GratiaVOD]

I was thinking the same thing, actually. The concept that no one has really contrasted Blackbeard against Luffy's new sun abilities can only be attributed to anime-only watchers and those reading the manga who are more invested in Wano itself than the story as a whole. I bet that Imu has the Umi-Umi no mi and can control the oceans at this point.

I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but on Drum Island, in Ch 134, Luffy says to Sanji that people who live in Snow Countries don't sleep, and that if they ever do they'll die. Then he says he heard about that in a tavern on his home island from someone. Coincidentally, Blackbeard had just invaded Drum Island not long before the crew arrived. It'd be such a random thing to bring up and never mention again unless it was important. Seems so outta place in that moment tbh

He is able to nulify the effects of devil fruit users by touching them so possibly he negates the curse placed on devil fruits when he touches them so he can eat more then one

[@xpakawakax]

Honestly I think the Yami Yami no mi is a special fruit, perhaps when blackbeard covered whitebeard's body, it wasn't in anyway to hide his special ritual or anything. But let no trace of light get inside, and while I'm unsure about other theories of blackbeard being 3 people or A kraken fruit. But really I think he's still alive because he himself didn't eat the fruit, but his actual fruit ate it. Similar to the whole black hole concept. Consuming everything

[@MediaDukart]

A detail I never caught until my most recent manga reread is Luffy mentioning that people in snow countries never sleep because if they did, they’d die. Obviously not true because Drum Island’s citizens sleep, but it is interesting that that’s mentioned on Drum Island after the Blackbeard pirates recently attacked. And he also mentions he heard it from someone at the pub of his hometown. Maybe a certain sniper’s father told him after hearing about Blackbeard from his captain? It has the whole “Usopp’s lies becoming real” vibe surrounding it.

[@saturos53]

It's easier that Shanks himself told luffy about that story.

[@matthewcardenas9109]

I have the head cannon that Blackbeard secretly ate a devil fruit: a dog dog fruit: Cerberus model, the three headed, three stomached dog that guards hades. That would give three minds for the pirate, the never-ending vigilance, and would allow him the two extra fruit. It also means he has a perfect combo of paramecia, logia, and zoan abilities, which to me has its own poetic pull to it. This also would limit him to 3 devil fruit total, which makes his calculation to take only Whitebeard's fruit as his next one make more sense.

[@nikolasbagas4702]

That is jenius theory

[@sebastianvelez6307]

This is my favorite one also, but them think that orochi didn't have different personalities and had several more heads. How I justify myself is that even if his head was cut, it grows again due to that fruit and the mythological creature the hydra, so maybe that's why they don't have individual personality each, whereas cerberus doesn't have that mythological power. Also in thriller bark each head had their own personality, so I'm like 80% confidence that's the reason

[@Ty-12x]

Feel like he is definitely a Squid, octopus, or kraken. And the 3 hearts allow him 3 personalities. Also the Dark dark fruit is obviously a mistake, and it would be Ink instead of course. Since luffys fruit was misrepresented this whole time, it's not hard to believe Blackbeard has something similar going on

[@hoodiereviews6003]

I love the thought of there being three Blackbeards hinted at through inconsistent teeth patterns, but aside from your idea of Oda drawing BB’s teeth as such to add character, it’s also worth noting that there is actually an in universe explanation for regrowing teeth.

I also think the way BB has been stealing fruits is by cutting out their hearts and making the person who wants the fruit eat it. By that logic, he reached into the hole in WB's chest and pulled out his heart under that black sheet.

We might as well think Oda chose to draw his teeth each time differently solely because pirates, real historical ones, used to lose teeth very often. And they also used to buy or craft them to let someone implant them again, so I wouldn't be surprised if Blackbeard's teeth worked as some sort of silly wound just like Luffy losing his teeth and healing them with milk after fighting with Sanji. Still, Blackbeard's missing teeth aren't portrayed as a gag or a joke, I think it would be extremely helpful if someone in the sbs asked Oda an apparently genuine question like "who's the dentist who always fixes Blackbeard's teeth?" Oda has never pretended or given false answers in the sbs, he might just skip the question or maybe solve our problem

[@davidreeder43]

The three personality thing makes even more sense when you realize the personalities match with the different parts of the Freudian model of the mind. The evil, ambitious side is the id. It's primal and selfish part of the mind. It is motivated solely by ensuring survival and fulfilling it's desires. The smart side is the ego. The logical part of the mind, balances out the desires of the other two for the betterment of the whole. The remaining, "good" side, the one that viewed Whitebeard as a father, is the super-ego. The sense of morality and empathy that is largely determined by one's upbringing.

[@pop-tartdepression393]

While watching this video I made a connection in my head that while I don't think is the key to the whole "What is Blackbeard" theory, it is a funny coincidence. I remembered while watching this video that Oda is a wrestling fan and has tossed a few references to popular wrestlers into the story of one piece. Mainly Whitebeard having some inspiration from Hulk Hogan and Spandam wearing a mask very similar to the wrestler Mankind. This combined with the theory that Blackbeard is 3 personalities within the same body made me think of "The Three Faces of Foley". A beloved wrestler by the name of Mick Foley had 3 prominent characters he played within WWE around the late 90s to early 2000s which went on to become the three faces of Foley. Dude Love, a dancing fun-loving hippy, Mankind, a sadistic unhinged masochist, and Cactus Jack, probably closest to the actual Mick Foley, Cactus Jack was an incredibly resilient hardcore wrestler without much of a gimmick. Like I said I don't think this affects much in the theory but I thought the coincidence was fun and I'd share it for the people who don't have an interest in both One Piece and Wrestling. Edit: I just remembered another fun connection, both Blackbeard and Mick Foley are missing teeth.

[@Zoro-tb3xf]

One piece ❤

[@Mr.Monacle]

Honestly, wouldn't surprise me if Mick Foley was a big part of the design inspiration for Blackbeard either, as he has the same curly hair and overall build as Blackbeard. In fact, if Oda were to draw Mick Foley in his own style, he'd probably resemble Blackbeard a lot, just with lighter hair.

Only a hypothetical theory, but my theory is that he was an experimented child someone who was engineered to be able to hold multiple devil fruits by having multiple people inside of his brain, like a form of multiple personality but at a larger scale, most importantly that his second personality is the devil, that being the devil from his fruit that takes control of him and forces him to act in such bizarre and unpredictable ways, it possibly commanding teach to take the devil fruit power of whitebeard, this transfer of fruits gives him another personality or incentive.

I somewhat agree with the multiple personality theory but on another level. I believe that there are only 2 personalities in black beard(that we have seen). The idiot, carefree Marshal D. Teach that the whitebeard pirates called family and another twisted, evil personality. I believe that other personality is actually the spirit of Rocks D. Xebec possessing Teach's body. That might give an explanation to why he doesn't sleep as well as why he can eat 2 devil fruits, because he has 2 people inside of him essentially. Remember Shanks also noted this during the war, he changed the way he called him from Teach to Blackbeard. Maybe Teach can take back control of his body for short durations or when Xebec lets him. Like When he was about to be killed by whitebeard or whenever he talked to Luffy about dreams. Both Luffy and Zoro noticed back in Mock town that there was something up with him. Maybe they noticed the change in the way Teach spoke both in Mock town and even in Impel Down right before Luffy was going to leave, Teach talked about dreams again. Lets go back to when Blackbeard got whitebeards devil fruit. Why did they cover whitebeard and blackbeard with a black sheet? Somehting to do with the Yami Yami no mi? Or just because they don't want people to find out their method? Im going with the latter. What if, now bare with me on this, Blackbeard ate a piece of whitebeard like his heart or something. This was confirmed to be a possible method to transfer devil fruits because of big mom but the only people that know about this method would have been Streusen and the Giant that saw(maybe the giants of Elbaf as well if he spread what he saw that day). But Big Mom was also apart of Rocks so it might be possible that Xebec somehow found out about it and used the method when he corned whitebeard. Honestly, I find it strange that Oda has put so much emphasis on a character that died years before the story began. We don't even know what Xebec looks like or anything like that so why is a character that is supposed to be dead surrounded in so much mystery yet he feels like a main antagonist? Another thing, why are there all these connections between Blackbeard and Xebec, at least from what im seeing? The evil pirate nature, The crew comprised of very dangerous people that don't really trust each other. Xebecs dream was to rule the world and, correct me if im wrong but i dont remember Blackbeard saying anything about finding the one piece or being the pirate king, he seems to have a goal similar to Xebec. They even went after the revolutionary army, which would be a group who would oppose Xebecs dream. Also, now this may be a little tin foil hat kinda talk, but if you google Xebec you will find that it was a ship. A ship with a main characteristic of having 3 main sails. Maybe that's a little out there and I'm crazy but there seems to be a handful of connections between these characters. Either way, I hope the mystery surrounding Blackbeard will be revealed soon. This character has been built up since early One Piece and it just seems to be getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.

[@Igor-sy9iv]

I dont think Xebec is dead, garp only said that he mysteriously disappeared if im correct. Thats only my take though, i dont think him being alive would be a good idea to the story because that would be another top tier villain to introduce to the final arcs and i dont think it would fit that well.

Hey Liam, great video, as usual. Keep up the good work! I actually have my own theory relating to Blackbeard, that ties in with the Kraken mythical zoan DF theory. - What if the Yami-Yami no mi was not actually the fruit that supresses people's Devil Fruit abilities? There are, of course, reasons to believe that it is indeed the Yami-Yami that gives him that ability, the fact that he explicitely stated such himself not being the least of which, buuuuuut what if it wasn't? The Yami-Yami definitely has the gravity/pull aspect of a black hole, but why would that ability cancel out other Devil Fruit's abilities. Why would this specific Devil Fruit cancel other fruit powers, when there's nothing about the power itself that implies temporary cancellation? My theory is such - the power that he has that cancels other Fruit users' abilities is actually his Zoan, which could be a Kraken (or any other ocean-dwelling monster) mythical zoan. Mythical Zoans seem to demonstrate properties similar to Logias or Paramecias (such as Sengoku's Daibutsu fruit giving him a body made of gold when he transforms, and the ability to create shockwaves, or Marco's Tori-Tori fruit giving him Mera-Mera-like intangibility and flame powers, as well as the ability to heal himself and others, or even Kaido's ability to create clouds and lightning blasts). What if the Kraken fruit gave his body the properties of sea water - which is to cancel Devil fruit powers. This would also explain why he wanted the Yami-Yami no mi so much that he killed his friend and 'brother' to obtain it. If he already had the ability to cancel devil fruits, then all he lacked was a gap closer. He couldn't rely on his speed to catch fast-moving DF users, so the Yami-Yami no mi would help him by bringing them to him.

I definitely subscribe to the idea that BB ate "Hito Hito no Mi Model Yami", aka "THe God of the Forest" and his "weird body" is an added property the same way Luffy is "made of rubber" and that could explain how he can eat two (or more) fruits

Ok, so, let’s assume hypothetically that this theory is correct and Teach’s condition can satisfy a devil fruit’a strict monogamy requirements. And that Blackbeard has one more personality left.

So you think Blackbeard could be a case of having multiple personalities, specifically 3. For example, in the way that Sensui from YuYu Hakusho had 7 to deal with each trauma in his life or Diavolo from JoJo had 2 and so they both would take on physical changes depending on which personality was present? And that’s why each personality or identity can hold a different devil fruit and probably the original personally can use all 3 at the same time like with the sacred energy or emperor crimson and epitaph

You know, this theory makes me think that there was more to Thatch than we knew as well. Because if memory serves, both Teach and Thatch were other names the real life Blackbeard was known by, either because he used them as aliases or because some of the historical records aren't accurate. So that makes me wonder if it was more than just a reference to the real life version that one Blackbeard alias killed another in order to gain his power in this story. Like, maybe Thatch is some kind of body thief who can jump to other bodies using his devil fruit, and take his existing fruit powers with him, which resets the fact that he can't eat another devil fruit, and then he can consume another one once he's in a new body, meaning that he actually has a third unseen devil fruit that we haven't seen yet. Like, imagine this sequence of events: an unknown person eats a Devil Fruit that allows them to steal bodies, they use it to enter Thatch, and once he finds the Yami Yami no Mi, he eats it as Thatch, but knows that he needs three fruits to accomplish his end goal (whatever it is) so he jumps to Teach's body, kills Thatch because he would know what his plans are now that he's free, and then is free to eat another fruit now that he's in Teach's body. I'm not saying that this idea is better, just that it's an idea I came up with from hearing this one.

I think the no sleep thing is just oda alluding that Blackbeard cant dream, so it contradicts his speech about dreams. It's a antithesis of Luffy as much as possible. Also him having a weird body was only said by marco that one time right? after blackbeard ate the darkness fruit, so the fruit probably is a myhtical zoan type (since it doesnt have the traits of a logia despite being one). so the reason why BB wanted it so much was that it's property to steal other fruits. nothing more than that. him having multiple personalities seems like a stretch since it's not that explored on by Oda. BB is just written to be a unpredictable and interesting villain.

[@austinrodriguez1140]

I also see the he cant dream as a he has to steal the dreams of others since he has none of his own really, he perverts others dreams and makes that his own Stole whitebeards fruit and dream Stole luffys dream to be pirate king (didnt really have ambition for it much) Im sure theres more

once there was a kingdom on the moon that had advance science technology and its name was beerka. the people of beerka could make robots and dials (the things that they use in skypia). however, they migrate to the blue planet because they ran out of resources. (the blue planet is earth, and if you see the comic cuts with enel in it when he goes to the moon (check out the manga tab on this website), you can see writings that say people of beerka migrated to the blue planet because of lack of resources.) the ship schematic that the people of beerka used to migrate is probably the one that tom (franky's dad) had. when the people from the moon (beerka) came down to earth, they accepted everyone to join and use their technology in peace and soon developed into a huge kingdom. however, a secret organization wanted to take the power and authority of the beerka for themselves and started a war. So the Beerka developed three ancient weapons to win the war. the weapons are named the ''Pluton'', ''Poseidon'' and ''Uranus''. Pluton runs underneath the ocean floor to change the tides of the sea to make a shied against enemy ships. ''Poseidon'' ''Princess Shirahoshi'' her ability to summon ''Sea Kings''. Like Pluton and Poseidon, Uranus is a dangerous weapon which can be used to rule the world or, in the wrong hands, destroy it. But as of yet, absolutely nothing else is known about it. It was first mentioned during Nico Robin's conversation with King Neptune, when she says there are three ancient weapons that bear the names of 'gods'. the survivors of the people of the moon hide away from the secret organization and take the shape of the half moon D to use as their middle name. (this explains monkey D luffy, portgas D ace, gol D roger and so on) the secret organization that betrayed and destroyed the people of the moon name themselves "world government" and started a project to hide their wrongdoings. 1. they erase the 100 years of history of the war. (the 100 years of history (the void century) that robin wants to find) 2. they send 20 soldiers to the moon to erase any trace or evidence of the people of the moon. (the 20 soldiers that were sent to the moon are later called world nobles and their offspring are treated like kings. this also explains why world nobles always wear space suits.) the survivors of the people of the moon make a small island called raftel so that the secret organization cant find them. one piece is in this island and gol d roger was the only person to find the island. the reason that luffy, ace, roger, and blackbeard are not on the island even when they're all D's is because the people of the moon wanted the world to know the evil deeds done by the government. they wrote on cubic steles made of a currently unidentified, indestructible type of stone (By the Kozuki Clan stone masons) poneglyphs (bits and parts of the 100 years of history) and placed it all around the world and sent out a selected number of their own people (D's) to find it and let the world know the truth. the beerka's (people of the moon) make one final secret weapon while they are on the island of raftel. this weapon's ability is to take the four seperate seas that were divided by pluton, and turn it back in to one huge ocean (AKA ALL BLUE (the ocean sanji always dreams of). because of its ability to turn four sea's in to one, the weapon is called "one piece".

The three skulls represent the 3 people who constitute Marshal D. Teach. The 8 crossbones tips are Oda's foreshadowing for Blackbeard's Next Devil Fruit: Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Yamata no Orochi. Each tip indicates the head of the Orochi. Blackbeard attacked Drum to get the power of the Baku Baku no Mi, he wanted to get the power of Wapol. He attacked the Kingdom of Drum when he was getting used to the powers of the Yami Yami no Mi, he already knew he could “split up”, but he wasn't sure if he would be able to "gather together" again. While he was still inexperienced with using his Devil Fruit no Mi, he wanted to have a guarantee and would give the Wapol's power to one of his own crew so he could " gather " again. The mechanismof of Blackbeard body is similar of mister 3 body changing, but there are 3 people and they swap parts. This give a margin to explain Blackbeard's teeth changing all the time. He can combine the 3 sets of teeth (bottom) with the 3 sets of teeth (top) in different ways. Eating a second Devil Fruit is fatal, regardless of whether the body is considered "strange". If it were a matter of body resistance, for sure, Big Mom, Kaido and Whitebeard could handle eating a second fruit.

Shanks upon hearing Teach doesn't sleep: *"Wow, his life must be twice the fun"* 😂 Just from here, we could see where Luffy got his reasoning ability

[@WinzzWorld]

One theory I really like is that the Yami-Yami is the same case as the Gum-Gum: a Mythical Zoan that was wiped from the history books. Namely, the Nika-Nika: Model Davy Jones. Hear me out here. In the first place, I was always confused by his fruit's very unique attributes. A tangible Logia that actually multiplies the damage he receives, the ability to cancel out DF abilities, its "drag you into the abyss" nature, plus the inconsistency that he knew the power of the fruit yet didn't wipe out anyone else on the WB crew nor the Moby Dick itself when he easily could have done so the moment he took a bite. Davy Jones has already been established as a Canon legendary figure within the world already, via the Davy Back Fights that started on the island he now calls home. In the first place, BB having Davy's will within him implies that he's also constantly exposed to the essence of the sea. This gives explanation to his DF cancelation through direct contact, but what about himself? Logias are obviously prone to Sea Prism Stone, but it oddly forces them into a state of limited use rather than complete nerf (I.e. Caesar being cuffed but still keeping his gas coat). We also see in Udon Prison that DF users can develop resistance to the effects of SPS if exposed for long periods of time. In BB's case, I assume it's the same except from within him. This gives context to why he can emit and manipulate a natural phenomenon as Logias do, but is always tangible and takes more damage than he should - he's always in a state of physical nerf. It would also explain him not being able to cause serious damage aboard the Moby Dick right away, he had to give himself time to adjust to the fruit's self-destructive drawback. Another well-known quality of Davy is that he was a vicious pirate that died and now haunts the deep sea. A dead man has no need for sleep, but this still offers no explanation as to why BB never slept as a child. I won't delve into that, but if Zoans have a will of their own then it's not much of a stretch to say that Davy would favor a malicious freak of nature like BB. So how did he manage to gain two DF powers? I see two plausible explanations. First is the one everybody knows: the Yami-Yami can cancel itself out and allow for multiple fruits to be present. Second is a bit more out there: the Yami-Yami is essential to the process, but it's limited to one of each class of DFs (Logia, Paramythia, Zoan). Granted, this can't be confirmed until he eats a third fruit (both whether the Yami-Yami is actually a Logia and whether the limit exists). In any case, if we change the lens from "darkness can trap everything, even light" to "the sea will reclaim everything, even life itself," I feel like we get a more clear picture with context as to how BB can have all these qualities.

The changing teeth thing I'd presume is to highlight the shifting personalities of Black Beard. Even though there are only 3 BB, the inconsistency might be simply so demonstrate the inconsistency in the nature of the pirate himself. But i do agree that he's 3 distinct personalities as opposed to 3 different people. The reason why 3 different people doesn't make sense is because where would he have hidden them BEFORE he ate the yami yami no mi? Yet, they were there before he ate it.

[@CoastToGhost]

The changing teeth I take to be an indicator of his Devil fruit powers in some way, or at least an indication that there’s more to them than we’ve been let on. In chapter 858 pg 12 Luffy and Brook drink milk and it instantly grows back the teeth they lost in a fight, causing one of Beges men to exclaim “how the heck do your bodies even work?!” My current thinking is that Luffys Devil fruit powers empowered the regenerative effect of the milk drinking because it’s such a cartoonish caricature of the real world (possibly spurious) link to milk with healthy bones and teeth. Further, the gangsters exclamation draws is reminiscent of the comments made about Blackbeards abnormal body functions.

Actually interesting. That would mean he only tears apart when (and if) he stops using his yami yami powers to nullify his own yami yami powers. Veeeery interesting indeed. You can explain how he is a logia but not intangible as well.

U do know h3 couldnt sle3p even before he had yami

[@Arrusoh]

@@douber300 They are saying that he is only able to keep himself together with the combination of the Yami yami no mi and the not sleeping, not that the not sleeping was a result of it

[@benjabby]

@@Arrusoh yeah, the idea was heavily influenced by the fact that conquerers haki (the ability most known for knocking people out) was so important to the story

[@LiquidChamploo]

Man is living his dreams! I love BB bc he’s not scared to look stupid or be wrong, he just needs to have things go HIS WAY, HIS DREAM. Why wake up?

[@shika15]

I remember seeing the idea somewhere out there that Blackbeard has some rare disease where if he sleeps he’ll die. Solid setup for when luffy ultimately knocks him out at the end of the series, he’ll be unintentionally killing him.

I think the yami yami no mi is not actually a logia but a mythical zoan similar to tge gum gum/nika situation. Both fruits share similar characteristics (similar fruit design and don't act like the class they're said to be part of) And the biggest thing I noticed is that both fruits seem to share a theme and a parallel in what there abilities are. The gum gum fruit allows it's user to mimic techniques of others through the power of imagination, where as the yami yami steals the abilities of others
