Are we just ignoring the fact Lilith seemed to be listening to someone when she woke up then mentions that she was told what all happened before saying all the vegapunks are technically still alive? I think she is on stealth mode so York doesn't know she's alive but punk records can still one way communicate with her

[@DANCERcow]

Exactly this, all their bodies are dead and or destroyed this cut off from the brain but vegapunk is still alive because both York and Lilith likely have beating hearts and the main brain is still intact! Once the brain is destroyed, both Lilith and York will die and vegapunk officially will be dead entirely. The brain brain fruit allows the person to operate without being attached to the body as we've seen since vegapunk was smart enough to figure out this from the fruits abilities. At some point during elbaf, I foresee Lilith speaking about other important lore then suddenly she drops dead in front of everyone! York with the elders and Imu also suddenly dies after the mother flame is acquired. Imu erases egghead during this time which destroys the brain killing vegapunk completely!

Honestly this chapter gave me confidence as a reader. When I read something I try to look deeply into the characters and their inner struggles and not bank too much on external fights. The direction Kuzaru went this arc, while not completely what I predicted stayed very close to what I was expecting. Readers get so caught up with things like power scaling, theories and personal agendas that they don't settle down and open their eyes to see what the author is really trying to show us. Since I caught up 6 years ago I have been consistently satisfied with the direction Oda is taking the story. This is not MY story, so I know things will not always go the way I personally want, in fact Oda doese things I never thought of before and it makes me excited. I'm still reading One Piece because I fell in love with a story Oda made and I want to see HIS story to the end, and not what I would prefer.

GrandLine Reviews made a great point on Zoro's comment and how he doesn't grasp that it wasn't necessarily the bond with Vegapunk, it was the fact that Luffy made a promise. That's why it hit Luffy so hard, because he feels like he failed in that promise and how much that concept means to him. If he can't fulfill that promise, how can he be able to fulfill any promise, up to and including his declaration to become the King of the Pirates. Whether or not Luffy actually built an extreme bond with Vegapunk is irrelevant, Luffy gave him his word to safely get him off the island and until Luffy heard from Lilith, he felt he broke his word.

people hating on zoro for what he said is crazy. yes, what he said was insensitive to a degree, but you must remeber that compared to the other straw hats zoro never even had a conversation with vegapunk and unlike luffy and everyone else, he never made any promises to get vegaunk off the island (because he wasn't there). zoro spent the least amount of time with the vegapunks thats why he doesn't view them of that much importance so to him vegapunk dying is nothing more than an old man passing away, but to everyone else especially luffy, this is failure. luffy failed to saved vegapunk after he made a promise and he's beating himself up about it.we have to wait for the official tanslation but this is just my take on it.

Just want to say I really appreciate whenever you make a point of going into character motivations and development. Most of the weekly reaction channels don't. (I can think of 2 others right now, but both of them tend to do really long videos that aren't based on one chapter at a time.)

[@bcool9272]

At the end of the day, Kizaru is like Akainu and Garp. Just another marine dog. He may feel conflicted but at the end of the day, people are what they do and Kizaru is following orders over friendship. That's why Luffy is a pirate instead of being a Marine Dog .

[@kingkelz215]

Kizaru to Sakazuki: "I remember you was conflicted, Misusing your influence Sometimes I did the same Abusing my power, full of resentment Resentment that turned into a deep depression Found myself screaming on Egghead I didn't wanna self-destruct The evils of Marineford was all around me So I went running for answers Until I came home But that didn't stop survivor's guilt Going back and forth, trying to convince myself the light I earned Or maybe how G-8 my foundation was..."

[@GreenBro11]

I do think the powerscaling debate takes away from the moments of genuinely great storytelling One Piece offers. Kizaru has a highlight character moment arguably a character defining arc and every action he made in the Egghead is recontextualized, but the conversation is always around how well we think these characters should be doing in these fights instead of reacting and analyzing their motivations as characters and the actions they take.

He was basically trying to speedrun the mission as fast as possible but Luffy kept getting in his way.

Also the new drip that Kizaru had in the anime (yellow and black), the black signifies potential/future mourning, because he knows that either way Vegapunk was gonna die and he had to accept that.

Even when he tried to kinda hurt Bonney, I can feel he was not doing it to his maximum ability. It almost felt like he wanted Luffy to hurt him so badly that he had to stay down and then not get involved but his sense of duty and threats by an Elder is too heavy and big so he had to take actions.

One interesting thing is comparing Kizaru's and Clover's moments. Clover's pivotal moment was the unjustified murder of his brother, and him having to fake his own name and mask his feelings to live. That's what got Vegapunk intrigued in the mystery of D. as well. Now, Navy Admiral Kizaru killed Vegapunk, his best friend, because he delved into the mysteries of the past like Clover. There is a bit of irony, and a number of parallels to be drawn. You could even compare Kuzan's pivotal moment in Ohara with these as well. Regardless, it seems that the decisions they have to make are ultimately burning up many powerful people from the inside. All of this from the same thread of the Void Century research.

[@vidovidovid6811]

The reason why people are surprised by Zoro is simple. It's simply Oda's failure. Oda has failed to deepen our knowledge about Zoro's character. He definitely has a whole lots of details about zoro's background, but he has failed to share the needed information with us, so we could understand zoro's motivations and behaviour better. We know just vaguely why he wants to be the best sword man and that's it. We know almost nothing more about him from the story. Compare him with Sanji as an example. Sanji was an insufferable character for many, before we got his background in details and then we had an Aha moment and could understand why he is the way he is. That's exactly what zoro's character needed. Oda had the best opportunity in Wano for that but he just decided to leave it. Most probably because he wants to tell his story in a short manga after one piece. From what i remember Zoro has always been emotionally extremely closed and very defensive. Even when we see him as a child, he's so obviously emotionally distant, as if he's learnt to be that way to protect himself. At least i think so. So yeah i think Oda has done a poor job with Zoro after time skip. That's also true about some of other characters honestly saying. He has this bad habit, that he goes in lengthy details, where it's not necessary and then where he should go into details, he realises that "Oh shiiiit, i have to wrap up the arc" 😬 And don't get me wrong. I've been a one piece fan almost from the start and still enjoy it. But nobody is perfect and even Oda's Work has lots of flaws.

Love your take on Kizaru! Of course he was anguished, and some of us saw it before the flashback reveal. The Zoro thing also threw me initially. But I do sort of understand what he was saying. He is the balance to Luffy (his best friend). I’m sure things will clarify for us in time.

[@Safosstylee]

It’s not an overwhelming win for the straw hats…… or possibly the world. One thing that I think is widely overlooked in this chapter is that the straw hats had to run. The marines are still on egghead. Like you mentioned, punk records is still on the island and now the marines can walk up and utilize it. Joker or whoever can most likely access it. On top of that and something more important…. The mother flame is still on the island. Now instead of taking “a piece” of the mother flame like York did, now they have the actual mother flame. If all this gets overlooked in the future story context (which I doubt) and everyone just leaves egghead as an island in ruins, I’d be hiiiggghhlyy surprised.

[@antoniocalcano777]

You mention Lucci’s purpose in this arc being narrative glue for certain conversations to be held for the audience. But the discussion you held regarding Kizaru’s mental struggles is actually even paralleled (please provide a better word to say here) with Lucci’s request of the Gorosei to attempt to spare Kaku. Lucci is the most WG indoctrinated character we’ve met at this point in the story, a killer by nature, and even he wanted his best friend to survive. If lucci can feel this, why would fans doubt kizaru could?

@@Trequilly dang. I feel so bad for you, I'd misread the bounty fest rates to be really high (idk where i got 0.998% from), so I pulled for those and somehow got him second pull. . . I'm gonna be fr he's way cooler in opbr than in the actual show. He isn't relatable in the slightest and barely even appears. Also, why did he need a THIRD EX!? honestly I wonder if we'll ever get one of the 5 elder EX's.

[@Money.D.Sensei-Boy]

Honestly, I could already tell from the moment Kizaru arrived, he was acting a bit off. It was obvious he didn’t want to kill Vegapunk. But had to otherwise, Saturn might potentially kill him. Similarly, I always said, Kuzan did not freeze Garp completely. They trained together he respects him. Blackbeard needs Garp Alive since they lost Koby as a bargaining chip. To make his island a nation. In Fact after all this I’ve noticed some similarity. Some were more obvious. Wano for me was the Alabasta Arc of the new world. Crocodile bet Luffy I think twice. Kaido Bet Luffy twice. Regardless In both cases. Luffy needed more than 1 attempt to win. Egghead reflects Sabaody archipelago. Elbaf might reflect Amazon Lily. It will be an interesting Arc that’s longer than egg head but way shorter than wano. And Garp being captured by Blackbeard, possibly sets up a Marineford 2.0 scenario. The Marines are replaced by Blackbeard and his Allies. WhiteBeard and his allies are replaced by Luffy and his. And Ace is replaced by Garp for execution. Cause if the elders are that strong. Luffy Vs Blackbeard I think is a joke in comparison. Think of it like playing Elden Ring. To keep the explanation brief. Luffy played Elden ring legitimately. While Blackbeard Cheesed the bosses. That’s how I think BB while be set up. A threat for sure. But not this big bad we’re expecting. Especially with the elders being that Powerful. And the god knights maybe reflect a fraction of that power.

It’s always crazy to me how people want to deny characters are strong when everything about the story says they are strong. For some of these characters you don’t even need to have a deep understanding of the story to know they’re strong, the story itself flat out says these people are some of the strongest.

[@mokaljordan]

The fact that kizaru fully committed to the mission of "killing" vegapunk inspite of being conflicted and not sandbag when luffy gave him the opportunity to shows that hes not leaving the marines anytime soon, it be interesting if hes mad at the strawhats for not letting him rip the bandaid off and have to struggle longer to kill vp/have to go thru the pain again if the WG discovers lilith is alive

[@notapro6430]

Shiki is gatekeeping the One Piece for people he believe are worthy to succeed Roger. The most important clue for the man with the burn scar is what Shiryu said. I believe the WG comment specifically is a red herring (could be completely wrong on that, call it a gut thing), and that the important takeaway here is that someone is stopping random pirates from being able to reach the One Piece, which I believe fits as a motive for Shiki being the mystery man due to how highly he regards Roger. He wouldn't want just anyone to become the next King of the Pirates until he personally gives them the stamp of approval. Besides the reasoning, just visually speaking the silhouette's pose lines up really well with the 631 cover page guy. You can see it's tilted a slight amount but it's not hard to make out the large round thing for 631 guy's hat, and the only thing we see 631 guy doing is drinking which is what the silhouette is clearly doing. If Oda was ever to silhouette 631 guy, this is how he would do it. And then going to the official coloring for 631, the guy is just straight up given Shiki's colors. Only possible explanation for if it's not Shiki is that the colors are wrong. Furthermore, I don't see why Oda would bring Shiki back into canon as a Rocks pirate member if he did not have something planned for him. Prior to the Rocks pirate reveal, Shiki was simply a character made for the movie Strong World, who Oda decided to make a "canon" (canon in air quotes as before the Rocks thing he's nowhere to be seen or mentioned) chapter for as a way to build hype for the movie. If Oda never planned to use Shiki again for something important, it would make sense to just ignore the character for the rest of the story and leave their canonicity as a question mark as a way to excuse their absence throughout One Piece in mention or appearance. Instead, recently might I add, Oda decided to include Shiki in the Rocks pirates and even highlighted him alongside other former yonko in the mini God Valley flashback. Oda isn't just ignoring the character anymore, he's a completely canon (not up for debate) character who was very prominent in the past, being grouped with Big Mom, Kaido, and Whitebeard no less. It's not like he was just off to the side like the other random Rocks pirates, he's with the greats. What this does is make Shiki's complete absence in the present even more odd. As a result, I believe Oda is going to go the full mile and actually make Shiki an important character in the present (as the man with the burn scar) and we'll have it explained why he's been missing and how he's remained anonymous as the man with the burn scar.

[@GamingClipse]

Let’s not forget Akainu apologizing to Kizaru and calling him brother. This part just further proved that Akainu saved Aokiji not only because he’s a big asset for the Marines, but because he probably thought of him as a brother and actually has some weak spot for certain people.

[@dainregis]

The brain is actually vegapunk and not just the brain in the jar. The rest of his body is hidden underneath. Stella is part of the other vegapunks and he controls them remotely to do everything so he doesn't have to carry the head around. He will enter final battle floating in like a big headed brainiac

Why does kid still have his “captain” status

[@davgg9621]

Because that's his name, not his title. Like "Strawhat" Luffy.

[@DANCERcow]

Because he's still a captain, Luffy was still a captain after the strawhats total defeat and separation! This is literally Kidd and Laws Sabaody Kuma moment! They'll be back and better than ever! The fact that people can't even see the parallels and consider this option is the likely one. Kidd isn't dead nor is he done! Zoro got wiped by Mihawk, by everyones logic he should have been done being a pirate! Kidd is clearly as stubborn as the rest and the more stubborn one is, the harder it is to break their will to discontinue piracy! Are we forgetting Kidd endured Kaido and prison for months? He never broke and never gave up his dream. So if he can take that kind of abuse from another emperor, why would it make any sense that he'd give up being a pirate after being defeated by shanks? If anything that will just fuel him more!
