[@blktom]

Plus Edison was never 'killed'. He was there when York tried to keep Punk Records from floating off. He rebuilt his body using parts from those that actually 'died'. I see the 'dead' satellites like programs in the 'cloud'. Honestly, I don't see a real reason why if they are artificial constructs with parts to make new bodies why Oda didn't have them 're-down loaded' into new bodies. That is the part that doesn't make sense to me... Honestly, the Satellites should be immortal as long as they have bodies to be put back into and Punk Records is never destroyed. Does Oda need a McGuffin from the lab that was left behind to do the transfer? I kind of hope he answers that...

Two things: 1. So this means that the Elders are replaceable. Does that mean that Ju Peter was the latest to get inducted since he had a frighteningly nervous reaction to Saturn’s execution? 2. Speaking of Garling, does it imply that all the newly appointed Elders were former commanders of the God’s Knights?

[@zanenamorph3202]

I would say that no I doubt if they were since they were mostly on the political status instead of being executioners or somthin. Garling was simply replacing Saturns by Imu theoretically cuz ofc he may be the next big threat that luffy will face in the next coming years

Imagine Duvan having a DF that allows her to copy not just the face, but also memories. That would explain why they just left after her touching him.

The fake-out death of the Satellites was a bit underwhelming but as said, logical. Atlas was repaired and "replaced" at the beginning of Egghead after her encounter with Lucci after all

[@kyallon1213]

I think it’s implied that only Edison’s physical form survived, and that the other 3 are basically just the other vegapunks personalities inhabiting Edison’s body. So only Edison is physically alive, and the others are mentally alive

[@blktom]

@@kyallon1213 I am stunned everybody keeps missing this, well Tekking and Grandline at least. Edison was in a panel when York was trying to stop Punk Records from floating off with his eye still wrapped! I mean, come on guys! Three Punks physically survived; Lilith, Edison, and York. This also explains last chapter where Lilith was having things explained to her, so she must have reconnected to Punk Records. It was mentioned that they can't really stop York from connecting to Punk Records either, so that is a thing. Now, it does come across like the 'dead' Punks are like programs in the 'cloud' (boy is that fitting) that is Punk Records. But what doesn't make sense is if they have the bodies and parts, why can they not be 'downloaded' into them and come back physically? The logic seems pretty fuzzy on Oda's part, so I wonder how he will explain it.

[@antokarman2064]

I wonder, how vegapunk divide his mind into individual parts in the first place? What even are they? And do they continuously develop independently? If not, then does that means vegapunk once aspired to be a celestial dragon?

[@Nematoda4ever]

@@blktom i think it just momentarily, since they just escaped bringing the Punk Record. Edison need body to work first since he the only one who are on real world while other are still on 'Punk Records', so he take Shakka body since he want to be tall, and other sattelite body to represent others, after that they surely gonna work uploading their consciousness to spare bodies, and remember they cannot bring the lab since York blocking them to take those too, i think they need the lab and equipments for fully 'revived'. thats why they went to Weatheria to 'ask for money' to build another lab.

Saturn's death was a brutal, but it didn't hit as hard as it should have...because it wasn't surrounded by his atrocities, if his death had happened right after it was revealed that he gave Ginny the sapphire scales or after he ordered Kuma to give up his personality, then that would have felt good, true the Kuma punch wouldn't have felt as good as it did, but his death would have felt so much more deserved, amazing how Oda can make you feel pity for even the second most evil person in the entire universe.

[@Ryuusei_002]

Notice how the other elder planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) rotates around the Sun (implied Joyboy), being completely under its mercy, even while being under the terrifying authority of the Earth (implied Imu) in a forced Geocentrism! However, the new elder planet, supposedly the Moon (🌙), is only meant for the Earth. It doesn't care about the Heliocentric universe, it's only ‘loyal’ to the Earth, and the Moon is the one who casts the shadow during the ‘terror’ of a Solar Eclipse! I might be overthinking things, but I do think St Garling possesses more threat than the five (now four) old farts combined!

[@sandeepsp37]

[@JABRIEL251]

Bro, Saturn getting put into a pack was a shocking moment, I just did not expect that. Not to mention, it being revealed that he is the one who had Emeth preserved. True irony, bro played hmself. Still, it kinda sucks...not him being dead, but his ability being dead. I thought the Gyuki transformation was pretty cool. Sad to see that go....but....Catarina Devon.

about the lucci situation, i'm not sure if it's a translation issue, but the way i read it felt more like he was saying "dead in action" as if she was killed in a fight against an enemy instead of revealing that she was a traitor, because in world, the marines have no idea that she is a traitor, otherwise they wouldn't have cared to ask, ultimately, what i'm trying to say is that i see it as more of lucci trying to say she died valiantly against a strong opponent rather than "i killed her". all that said, i do think that lucci might actually have killed her himself

[@nathanielmcgrew5716]

A small thought occurred to me that Imu possibly has the Devil Devil Fruit… if that turns out to be a thing. The ability to create/spread demonic powers to allies (summoning circles, anti aging, granting Devil/Yokai-esque powers) Edit: also a pentagram has 5 points.. 5 elder STARs?? Maybe someone’s pointed that out before idk

The Five Elder Stars are named after the five planets that are visible from Earth without a telescope. I think historically in China and Japan these five planets were seen as stars (no telescopes back then so no one could tell the difference) and each was associated with a specific one of the five Wuxing elements.

[@Itoyokofan]

I don't think there's a Devil Devil fruit. The whole devil fruit system logic is probably should be thrown away at this point, because devil fruits are probably artificial creations from 800 y. ago as a mechanism to carry will of their creators.

Won’t lie, read this and my jaw was either dropped or I was smiling the entire time. I do find it intriguing and somewhat scary how Garland strolled into the Gorosei’s room and be berated only to show up the other four and make each one of them afraid/creeped out. I’m happy Saturn’s dead but I do feel kind of bad for him if for no other reason than, it was brutal. Love that the Vegapunks had one last trick up their sleeve and a big F you to York. Also happy they’re alive in the capacity they are.

[@NotAGoodUsername360]

I don't get the issue with Vegapunk's alters not being truly dead. They were never truly alive to begin with- that's why the one whose task it was to tend to bodily needs betrayed them. Because she felt too "alive." Regardless, Vegapunk has definitely suffered a kind of death, though more like a strange reverse-coma. His true body is dead, and was killed by his best friend no less. That means the "real" Vegapunk is truly dead and he can never be the man he once was ever again. All that is left of him is a brain in a jar. Kinda like that one DLC quest from Fallout New Vegas. Is that really being alive? The other Vegapunks are essentially puppets weilded by Vegapunk's oversized brain. It's an interesting philosophical question.

I think everybody missing a very important thing this chapter confirms for us.. The five elders are public figures . That means that due to the fact they have been around for over 200 years , people in the one piece world knows that. I am starting to get the feeling that it’s only a secret to us the readers , but not to the in world characters. Same as to their transformations, which was not a shock to the Navy officers and completely expected by kizaru I am almost certain that the people of the world knows a lot of things about the ruling class that are not privy to us the readers. I know this is colliding with the fact everyone was shocked to hear “Imu Narona” you’re still alive(I’m talking about the reaction of the revolutionary army) But the elders are not secret characters , if they been there, they have been there for a long time. I think it’s either a plot hole , or there is something that is hidden from us only (the readers )

[@quanti5]

I guess this chapter confirmed one thing. The aspects of Stella are all essentially robots or androids. Even York, who was responsible for bodily necessities like eating and sleeping has "spare parts", whatever that means. But this raises a very significant question. Does this new Crash Dummy Vegapunk need to eat and sleep because York's not there?

My money is on "Dragon commenting on the news, paper on hand". Seriously though, I don't expect him to make any moves; even less so if he'd seen the Gorosei in action. He's worried about the Holy Knights, but if he came face-to-face with Imu he'd have a stroke right there. 😈
