[@Vinlan.D]

have had some similar ideas. more focus is needed on the dragon claw of the celestial dragons. but what you said about Imu's dragon origins blew my mind

[@jonathanl9529]

Joyboy theories had the best theories before he stop making them I am happy he is back doing awesome work again like his earlier videos. He is an OG when it comes to one piece content he is finishing strong w the manga.

[@jonathanl9529]

@@notsoberoveranalyzer8264 I feel you… I actually unfollow him because he stop but the truth is he didn’t want to do redundant content.. I am just happy I get to experience the end of one piece w him again n he is back… Vinland is good and O’Hara also … big fan of Tekkin also but I’ve been following one piece since 1999 and the truth is joyboy theories and a few others have made my one piece experience awesome and I am grateful for it… this theory was just awesome regardless if it’s true or not… I appreciate his work and time on it

That and the Dragon Claws of Sabo which he says some very interesting things about when using against Bastille.

[@a_dex7749]

So imma say what everyone elses thinking. Collab when?

[@nanach6276]

@@RandomGuyyyy Yeah Imu looks like a Umibozu like we saw in Thriller Bark. They are usually accompanied by stormy weather. If Imu is a Umibozu he is probably Dragon. Why do they use the Dragon Claw symbol anyway?

[@lute6904]

Great theory so far, just got a crazy idea while watching. So if Imu and Sugar are parallels, what if Imu has a much more physical parallel to Sugar’s toys? Maybe instead of turning people into toys Imu can turn people into fruits, fruits that contain their hopes and dreams; the desires or wills that they had. We know from Dr. Vegapunk that devil fruits came from the desires/dreams of people, and we know from Blackbeard that peoples dreams never end. That could explain why Devil fruits, former people, get reincarnated after their user dies, similar to the concept of inherited will. Furthermore, in the context of dressrosa as a microcosm of one piece, Kyros can be seen as a parallel to joyboy. Sugar’s power also took away any memories relating to those turned into toys. So just as Kyros was turned into a toy and only nameless remnants of the warrior he was remained, so to was Joyboy turned into the mythical human zoan fruit model: Nika. This explains why the only remnants of Joyboy that exist are written down, there are no stories about him that have been passed down, even in remote tribes like the tontatta. I could go on with this theory as it makes countless things make sense but anyone reading this probably gets the picture.

[@toasted_donut2308]

thats cool but zuenesha remembers Joyboy.

[@alexandercarlson919]

Yeah that's 100% the wildest theory i've heard in One Piece and if it's true that would be a crazy reveal, never would have thought that.

[@ZhongliArchonofSwag]

Eh. I think Imu is that times Luffy, but without one or two of his traits. A godlike devil fruit, childlike personality, probably eats a lot, but all of his friends are dead, all his dreams are either fulfilled or forgotten. He is the “freest person”, but with a heart consumed by darkness instead of light. He’s the inversion of Luffy.

[@alexandercarlson919]

Good insight!

[@ericmiddleton1065]

I love how you included Bonnie in this personally I'm on the side the paw paw fruit can not only contain the user's memories but prior users as well (similar to the attack titans abilitiy) and the reason she's been gone so long is cuz she's seeing all past users memories and once she sees lilies memories she will be the key we have been missing in the story

[@un1xify]

That’d be perfect as a form of time capsule the revolutionary army can use to broadcast the actions of the wg.

[@nunobettencourt1429]

That would be a very lame cope out for Oda. No point having the Poneglyphs like that. No point having ancient animals with 1000 years (Zunesha) and so on. Besides R.A doesn't need time Capsules, they need Vegapunk and Punk records, they need Sabo using his own memories on the records for all the world to see. As for Lily, we may or may not have a flashback. I honestly think its Vivi who is going to give us more info about her, be it by discovering something back on Alabasta or her joining the Straw Hats and activating Pluton. Also that idea with the Paw Paw fruit opens a massive plot hole, where it would be possible for DF users to see past users memories...What would be the point than of people training and getting awakening for example?

[@aymanmiri111]

Egghead is an arc where we get focus on Bonney, the same arc we learn from Vegapunk that DF powers are potential Evolutions, Bonney kinda access the possible evolutions of people and herself. I think if she awakens, she can grant people DF powers temporarily , probably just for people who dont already have a DF but it is plausible that she can "de-evolve" someone to before they had the fruit then evolve them to a new fruit. Idk if its very believable but it isnt impossible

[@thewafflepan4538]

crackpot theory here: pluton isn't a ship but instead is a klabautermann which is able to jump from ship to ship, and is trying to create the perfect ship.

[@Yodah97]

Also if Garp took in Rock's son that'd be hilarious. Because it'd explain why Roger was so sure that Garp would look after Ace: he's literally done it for a pirate before. And I just love the idea of Garp constantly being given orphans because he's a cool guy

[@tokenman12]

This video aged so well. You were pretty much spot on with Bonney except for the dragon lineage thing…

[@RayRay-dv9xg]

THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE YEARS OF CONSISTENT AND EPIC CONTENT! Its an awesome theory. I only disagree with the egg part: In my opinion bonney can´t be the one hatching from rogers egg, because in the real world the egg is way older than bonney. Oda said that all the supernova were created last minute as he felt the need for more action post timeskip. Only if Oda changed his mind about the egg after the timeskip.

[@ninjagirl226]

I kind of agree but I also think that the egg was more of a design choice as Roger arrived to Laughtale too early so he laid the groundwork for the next generation to achieve something that he would never see. That idea is shown with the egg as to our knowledge Roger never saw it hatch but he and presumably his crew after he was gone protected it all the same.

[@flusel4949]

I'm not saying this is true, but it could be that Oda always intended for Bonney to play a role, but came up with the Supernova as a group later on and decided to introduce her earlier in the story and make her a part of that group, just like Oda at first inteded for Boa Hancock to appear much later in the story but hen moved her introduction to the Summit War saga

[@RayRay-dv9xg]

@@flusel4949 This is a good point, which could be true.

[@lartnestpasdemain]

With such a Title, I was absolutely convinced you were finally dealing with my ShanksBeard Imu theory. I'm sad now 😢

[@JonRossy]

If Imu is a dragon, then maybe the scene where Imu transforms to attack Sabo is not actually his face... but the two dots are actually his nostrils! And the rest of the dragon head is off-screened, and drawn to look like a face to throw us off, since all of the gorosei you can clearly see their faces. Then the arrow that attacked Kobra could be his tail, he's massive enough that it wraps around the room. Just an intriguing thought!

[@tcbbctagain572]

I'm pretty sure that what imu used to attack Sabo was a tail.

[@amvibes9633]

Ya know I refuse to believe that the Supernovas were created on a whim during Sabaody. I think Oda is a very humble man to the point that he downplays his own efforts, and I also think he would lie if it helps hide some mysteries. Bonney and Kuma, and Law, are setup too well for them to be characters made up on the spot.

[@JoyBoyTheories]

Even if it's true, I'm sure Oda thought long and hard about what they would become after, and how it could fit into the story he wants to tell and things he had already planned

[@Starcore600]

Really liking the new editing. It never bothered me to just listen to your videos like a podcast but these edits admittedly add a new layer of enjoyment 😊

[@MrPastige]

My take on Luffy and Kid was rather that Kid is how Luffy would have ended up if he didn't choose to accept that he was still too weak to enter the New World. While Luffy got defeated at Marineford and decided to take a step back and gain strength, Kid never got the chance to do so. It was only during Wano when both were defeated by Kaido and both responded differently. Kid immediately escaped and planned another attack on Kaido. Luffy decided to spend the time training because he knew that if he attacked Kaido again the outcome would be the same. Kid and Law represent extremes. Kid is the bullheaded, stubborn guy that just goes for the throne without thinking and Law needs everything planned out before making a move. One could even argue whether that it the reason as to why Law lost to Blackbeard. Being caught off guard isn't something Law and his crew is used to. Although Luffy gravitates towards the bullheaded side, his experience at Marineford made him a bit smart in that regard. So you could say he's somewhere between Kid and Law.

[@noctisluciscaelum211]

True and it's why after wano arc. Kidd got too big for his boots that he decided to go after Shanks again. Instead of trying to plan ahead his next step. Instead now his ships destroyed and has no crew. As for poor Law, he's just unlucky cause Black beard a slimes snake bastard. That will just ambush you without even knowing.

[@joelleet554]

Always happy to see a new video from you. This is fascinating and I'd be cool with the story playing out something like this, though Oda seems to have most of his major plot points very well hidden even now. Guess we'll see! Just glad that we have new chapters again tbh 🙂

[@boomerana.]

I'm just hoping that Imu isnt Luffys mom because Luffys mom is got to be an important character as she hasnt been mentioned yet. Unless imu has some awesome backstory, it better not be a character we know or we could know

[@CheatsythePimp2]

I actually think Imu has the Umibozu Fruit considering the Yokai theming of the Gorosei.

[@alexandercarlson919]

I've heard some theorys that shes the amazon lilys leader after Nyan, Luffy=Brazilian... Amazon.... it work perfect but who and where is she is the big question!

[@CurtNapalm]

Really interesting theory. Loved especially the part where you connected Bonney to Rogers crew from her name.

[@perpetualpunster]

"...could set her along a trajectory that would make her as cruel and callous as Imu..." ...the daughter of Tyrant Kuma could become a Tyrant. I had not considered that Oda drawing the futures of different characters was him practicing for Bonny's fruit. That makes a lot of sense. It's also possible that he developed Bonney's power set while doing those sketches. Bonney and the egg... that would be a really fun twist.

[@user-xd1lq2qu9v]

I understand what you mean with Bonny but honestly it just feel like a random idea Oda had to give Bonny last minute purpose. In terms of worst generation it's really only Black beard , Luffy, and Zoro. We still don't know about Urouge yet

[@kaizerhall3138]

One thing that I like about the pirate crews in One Piece is how they don’t all follow the same theme/design of pirates that we’re familiar with. I’m talking about pirates like the ones in Peter Pan who were bandannas, striped shirts, and torn pants. One Piece, however, has given us pirates with an unconventional theme. We’ve got Mafia pirates, musical pirates, and pirates that are based off the works of Lewis Carroll (the author of Alice in Wonderland).

[@Moody.Smiruai]

Sugar has always been....unsettling. I KNOW this doesn't mean much but remember second recent color spread with all the girls in it? A lot of people thought sugar was a weird addition , I mean she's such a minor villain so why?? Tama and Ulti sort of makes sense but sugar was just so out of the blue. Maybe , and I know this is stretching it , but maybe sugar is important and that was Oda trying to clue us in.

[@arpitagrawal7534]

Sugar wears a crown and also talks in thous.

[@rickn6923]

I really like this theory. Well done! But.. I can’t help but think Oda liked the alternate time line drawnings so he made her powers and her so he could squish those things into the story 😂 that would be very Oda to do such a thing. With that said I hope at least some of this plays out because it would be great stuff

[@poisonpotato1]

I always thought the egg was a unique feature of the ship similar to how strawhats have orange trees

[@YokedDrunkard]

Man I am so curious as to what Urouge, the sky island super nova, is going to have to do with the future of the story. I'm hoping it points to one of the last sections of the story being centered on a Sky Island or multiple

[@rofljocke]

This was such a wild theory. Almost of something before the time skip. Speaks on how more we know but at the same time have so many new questions

[@Shundo204]

Your videos have been amazing lately I really like this theory too keep it up JB

[@rixuko2218]

Im just gonna say that i will always entertain any idea that presents my favorite zelda thing. Link's Awakening... has a lot of narrative tones that go with this. And the idea that the reality bending power lies inside the egg. And that its all a Dream he needs to wake up from. In order to carry on with his adventure at sea.

[@mattb6616]

The official manga colors of the egg on Roger's ship DO look exactly like the links awakening DX egg colors.

[@flusel4949]

I LOVE that theory! I've always thought that it's such a weird coincidence that Rouge wanted her child to be called Anne - just like the most famous female pirate there was - if it was a girl and then Bonney is also named after that Pirate. I've also always wanted the egg on Roger's ship to have a significance and be more than a weird design choice and considering the importance of dragons and the heavy lore in One Piece surrounding them I always thought a dragon was the most likely being hatching from that egg.

[@hatterdmad8504]

JB wonderful video. I'm buying stock in tinfoil. I love to see a video that charts the roles connecting the void century characters to their current counterparts. This may be a project for later after more story unfolds, or an evolving series.

[@alexmipego]

If Imu had the Ope Ope no Mi immortality, which could explain how they won the war back then, then Bonnie's power could be to just mess up the time of his body, perhaps reversing it to before the immortality operation. I think this would close many holes in the story.

[@JacobMoore-fd4fd]

I like the idea that in the same way rubber of the gomu gomu no mi was the perfect counter for enerus lightning, the freedom of imagination of the nika fruit is the perfect counter of imus possible power over destiny

[@sabrebaxley3977]

I absolutely love ur work my man ❤👍😁 keep doin u and I'll b here for all of it! 👍😁❤️

[@mrs2873]

I think that the conection you made of sugar and imu is a strong one. Maybe imu has a corrupt corrupt fruit or something like that. I also think that Bonny's fruit is very powerful bc: 1) we know it can turn people including herself into versions of themselves of different ages. 2) we know she is able to pick different versions of what someone can become or could have been. She can thus bring the best version of someone for a particular situation out of a set of potentials.

[@kyleholmes8230]

Now that IS some tinfoil. I can see this happening actually but the way oda writes things i dont think it will be said outright by anyone. Oda loves keeping things a vague mystery more than anything. He occasionally drops some lore bombs but its the gradual build up and and actually having to go back and read it again to pick up on a lot of things. Back in the day you didnt have all these communities to sit around and theorize with thousands of people. You just had like one other kid at school who read the same thing to talk about it with. Sorry Im rambling. Thanks for the new ideas!

[@azeragaming]

Imu might be not immortal, but doing something to keep himself Live in different eras, like the personality swap, or might be strange but what is imu is on par with hito hito no mi model nikka, and it in reverse instead of giving the one who ate it freedom, it control them, therefore imu is a devil fruit that possess who eat it

[@calebsolonas6085]

Yoo let him cook like the theory outside the box

[@alexandercarlson919]

The oldest dragons usually live a bit past 1 thousand years so Imu being a dragon would be a pretty nice fit.

[@LadyNoriko]

I see some of my "Imu is a dragon" theory here. Dragons for sure have to play a role considering their status as extinct powerful creatures.

[@mokaljordan]

Yup and ima keep pushing my Imu has the snake snake model Ouroboros fruit as those that played xenogears and Xenoblade can see similarities in Imu and Ouroboros especially those limbal eyes of his

[@anasmoriya]

Well, appearantly Bonney didn´t hatch from the egg, but was born as daughter of Kuma and Ginny. She´s not the destined ruler of the world, nor a dragon.

[@doronrosstuvia3489]

I think you're onto something here. In every arc there is a character that isnt a strawhat that is a main character. Since weve been on egghead Bonnie has been the main subject of this arc. The missing part that would tell a lot about Bonnie and what proves that she has more to her than we've seen is when Akainu found her tied up after Blackbeard. Where did she go after that? Why wasn't she sent to Impel Down and why was Akainu afraid of her power? And then when she was at the Reverie, why did the guards recognize her and allow her in so easily when she aged herself? If the Sorbet Kingdom was against the WG, why would she have been allowed in so easily? Oda also tends to parallel his movies to the manga as a way to almost practice a certain type of story. Not only did Oda use inspiration from Uta for designs on Egghead, I believe the character of Uta and her connection to Shanks is a parallel to Bonnie and Kuma's relationship. Maybe Kuma had to make a hard choice because of Bonnie's abilities and thats why Vegapunk didn't want Bonnie to see what was in the room. I dont know what the answers are, I just wanted to add on to your thoughts.

[@yousseftheconqueror7842]

amazing theory , bony is a literal dragon ,wow that was crazy

[@dreamweaverelzotz1106]

There is a cultural bound syndrome amongst Ainu and Sakhalin woman of Japan called Imu. Characterized by extreme startle response that linked to automatic movements, imitative behaviour, infantile reactions and obedience to command. The Ainu has similarities to Indigenous North America tribes such as The Haida. The Emishi; Ainu and Ezo are indigenous People of Japan. The Ainu are also found in Serbian and Russia. Which brings up the 1904-1905 war between Russia and Japan; which was nicknamed World War Zero; WWZ. In The Ojibwa language of The Great lakes of North America Mishi means a Stick of Fire Wood. While Miishi means hairy; Miishiingwe is s/he has a hairy face; is bearded. Just a coincidence. Also Mishiginebig is "The Great Serpent" In The Story of The Great Flood. Nanabozho tracked "The Great Serpent." to a gloomy lake; The House of The Great Serpent. It was filled with evil spirits that were his companions and servants their form were monstrous and terrible. This Lake is called Manitou Lake; Spirit Lake and also called Lake of Devils. The Great Serpent's head was red as blood; his fierce eyes glowed like, fire. His body was armoured with hard and glistening scales of every colour and shade. Nanabozho decided that he'd get revenge for his cousin's death. Nanabozho commanded the cloud to disappear and for the Sun to beat down; until the waters boiled and The Great Serpent, the horned serpents and the underwater panther rose from the depths. The Great Serpent coiled around a Great Tree. As Nanabozho disguised himself as a withered tree stub; he got cut but he dared not cry out. There he saw that the horned serpents and underwater panthers had torn his cousin into a thousand piece and his lungs covered the lake with whiteness. Nanabozho took his arrow and shot the Great Serpent in the heart. It reached its mark and the mountains shook with the howls of the frightful beast. The horned serpents followed in their howls. The Great Serpent knew that he'd die from his wound and so he plunged into the water; the heat of his breath caused The Great Flood. Nanabozho run ahead of the raging waters and told everyone to run to the mountain tops. Nanabozho got many woman; children; men and animals to the one tall mountain and their he crafted a raft and they set sail. For many days, and at long last the waters subsided. The Great Serpent was died and the horned serpents and water panthers dared not return from the bottomless lake for fear of Nanabozho. (Nanabozho's cousin is known by some as his beloved twin brother; while other say he was his younger brother, and yet others say that he was his adopted brother, and his name was Chibiabos; which means "Ghost Rabbit." Nanabozho had to accept that his beloved brother couldn't be revived; which hurt him greatly; much like Luffy and Ace. Other say that "Ghost Rabbit" was a wolf. Also "Ghost Rabbit" became the ruler of the underworld. He was a good and kind Lord that took good care of the Land of The Dead.) Which sounds like the twins of changeling woman; twin sons; "One born of Water." and " Monster Slayer (Navaho); which sounds like the water dog god of the underworld and the feathered serpent that killed The Sea Serpent; a giant water demon that had nibbling fish on the water lily flowers and pads and they made her body parts into the New World; the 2nd or 3rd world, as she flooded the world, Aztec. The Mayan has the White Lily flower serpent that is of smoke and clouds; who has a connection to Sak Nik; The White Flower of The tree of Life. Who is also known as The Hidden Sun; The Hero Twin that became The Moon. God of Music; The soul and The wind. Half Brother of B'atz; Also known as Hat; or Headdress Monkey; One Howler Monkey. He too had a twin brother. B'atz; Monkey God; who's city was called "The White City of The Monkey God." God of Music and Art that moves one's soul. This city was known as "El Dorado." Their father was The Mazie God First/ One Blow-gunner. Who was a great ball player that used a hard rubber ball. His head hanged in a Tree of The Underworld like a fruit. His Head was The Rubber ball as his skin never lost it elasticity; its youthfulness. Nanabozho's stories can create magic out of nothing. To build a whole new world with only hard work, creativity and our imagination. Nanabozho is a cultural hero and our greatest teacher of how to be human. Nanabozho was part man and part powerful spirit being; the personification of the life forces. In his role as original man; The creator tasked him to walk through the world that Skywoman had danced into life. "The Sky People" With each step a greeting to mother Earth. Nanabozho was placed in a fully peopled world. There his journey first took him towards The Rising Sun; to a place where the day begins. The Knowledge he needed was present in the land. His role was to not control or change the World, as a human, but to learn from the world. How to be Human. East is the Direction of Knowledge. Nanabozho had to learn peoples names as this is how you build bonds of friendship. He Spoke with them and learnt their gifts they carried in order to learn their true names. So he didn't feel lonely and he felt at home with the people. In The West Nanabozho founded many things that frighten him. The Earth shook beneath his feet. Great fire consume the land. Sage was there to help him wash the fear way. The Firekeepers came to Nanabozho and said. "This is the same fire that warms your lodge. All Power have two sides, the Power to create and the power to destroy. We must recognize them both, but invest our gifts on the side of creation. Nanabozho learned that he had a twin brother; who was committed to making imbalance, as Nanabozho was dedicated to balance. That twin had learned about destruction and rocked creation like, a boat on a choppy sea to keep people out of balance, Nanabozho vowed to walk with humility in order to try to balance his twin's arrogance. who was known as The Evil One. While Nanabozho means The Foolish One, Nanabozho is a trickster; yet a hero to the Sky people of Turtle Island. Ojibwa greeting is Bozho. Nanabozho loved his people. The enemy of The Horned Serpent and The Water Panther; Mishipeshu is The Thunderbird; Animiki was created by Nanabozho.. The Petroglyphs of Ontario Canada are called "The Rocks that Teach" Which has this Nanabozho's stories on them. Skypiea arch is so underrated. Great Theory by the way. Imu has so much history in the real world. The Parallels of Northern Japan to North America; Canada; USA and Mexico. Canada is actually Kanata; a Huron-Iroquois word for "Village." Mexico means "In The Belly Button of The Moon" or " In The Navel of The Lake Of The Moon." The Japanese word Kanata means "Beyond; Across; the other side. The Kanji can mean many thing. Joy; Music; Apple Tree; Sea; Ocean; Sky ; Void; Aim; Harmony; Bold; Rudder; Cloud; Dragon; Hero or Emperor; to face; to love; Fulfillment; Match; peaceful; get along , no conflict, Yamato. Also The Name Nami means Beautiful; Ocean Wave; Red Apple. Luffy means Love.

[@taslimakhanom9172]

So here is my Imu theory. So you know how Vegapunk said that devil fruits are created by one's desire, I will build my theory off of that (by the way, I will refer to Imu as "he" because it is highly possible that Imu was one of the 20 founders of the World Government, and since all 20 of them were king, that must mean that Imu is male). So my theory is that when a person with an incredible sense of justice and willpower dies, their dreams, deepest desires, and wishes leave their bodies and go to the sea. Eventually, these lost desires become tangible objects known as devil fruits. I believe that Imu has some sort of devil fruit relating to the sea. If that's the case, he can control the seas and the rate at which they form devil fruits, or in simpler terms he can create devil fruits from the sea. Every month, Imu secretly comes out from hiding and performs a ritual where he cuts a small area of his blood in front of the ocean, resulting in his blood falling into the ocean. Imu's blood contains his deepest desires and his wishes, and very rarely, devil fruits that are still forming absorb his blood, resulting in PURE FRUITS. These pure fruits are very, VERY powerful and are formed from Imu's dreams. One example of a pure fruit is Big Mom's Soul Fruit. The Soul Fruit reflects Imu's desire to be have friends and be loved (you know, the homies.) The best example of a pure fruit is Luffy's Nika Fruit. This fruit reflects Imu's desire to bring peace and unite the world, but his methods of doing so cause chaos. This also relates to the Void Century where after the death of Joyboy, the world fell into chaos and the rulers of the Ancient Kingdom became corrupted and evil. Imu gathered his five closest friends/allies (the Gorosei) and overthrew the Ancient Kingdom. Imu then became the ruler of the world and tried to bring peace, so he forced everyone to follow his laws, which were fair but strict. Anyone who didn't follow his laws were executed. His method of trying to bring peace resulted in chaos (kind of like Kaguya from Naruto).

[@rixuko2218]

I was considering if i should mention it or not. Since i dont want to be all based on confirmation bias, as a personal theory lines up with this. But i do love that it uses the missing element from momo's story. The boy was not born in a peach. So i still believe the detail has to show up elsewhere. And where else than a giant egg.

[@benreizman467]

Whoa, haha, I'm half Native American and when you said "Manifest Destiny," my mind went to a dark place. lol, woof.

[@boodahoncho4598]

Ain’t nothing like a one piece theory while you fadeeeeeeddddd

[@persun100]

Film red is about shanks's daughter who he found the same way he was found. Was Roger hatched from an egg?

[@mysticflow467]

20:08 thats enough joy boy for one day

[@calliefalls3325]

🤣🤣

[@guysensei3867]

😭😭

[@Zepherlink]

I find it interesting that the 3 powers bonney momo and shirihoshi all seem to share the color pink

[@nicksingleton7545]

I guess my question would be, because I didn’t see it mentioned but would IMU know who Bonnie is? They had her captive which you mentioned but if she’s that important I feel she would be locked up forever lol I can def see it being the last missing race and not just a devil fruit power. I do agree I feel like a dragon was in the egg Ive thought that before. Crazy theory I love it

[@zigzag8392]

You know your theory is out there when it’s less likely than “Mihawk is a Sword”

[@edd2184]

This video went from "uhuh, yeah, could be" to ""WHAT!?!?!?! 😳"

[@rabbithead14]

This theory is super plausible because in chapter 1060, when imu bombed lulusia, Bonney appears in the same chapter, inside a warm eddy! Oda def put those two events in the same chapter. This theory is crazyyy!!

[@soyanchd5439]

Utterly absurd theory? Let's foocking go. could you post the playlist you use one your videos by the way? :)

[@donkalzone6671]

Bonny a dragon? What if BigMom is a faild experiment, where Vegapunk tried to kind of copy Bonneys powers. Could explain why BigMoms looks so similar to Bonny. It would also explain how broke BigMoms powers are

[@notsoberoveranalyzer8264]

I hope one day, you and Vin can work together on an “organic theory”, or not even theory but some sort of project. And by organic, I mean ~ rather than forcing an idea, you both seem to have a great appreciation for writing as an art form, and the series as a whole. So, it’d just be cool to see what you two come up with.

[@notsoberoveranalyzer8264]

Examples of none theories: Japan’s conviction rate & Enies Lobby. ( A hospital staff employee was convicted of murder. Because a detective told her he would have her kids if she confessed. She had something akin to autism. Not severe. Everyone knew she didn’t do it. Took her 8 years to be released. A recently retired judge admitted to sentencing many innocent people to death. He knew they were innocent. But he was not allowed to disagree with his saviors. Japans political structure, and how up until recently you needed to be connected by blood to get anywhere. ( basically if you’re an American, think illumanti / masons, Bush family. But it’s MUCH worse in Japan, and very real) with celestial dragons. Bartolomeo cutting off the characters tongue for bad mouthing Luffy, being a direct representation of the rabid manga fan base, over their favorite series/character. Fishman Island & The Untouchables in Japan. ( The whole, Fishman having “bad blood” & “you can’t mix their blood” is a direct reference to this ongoing problem..) Luffy ideology of “Are you actually alive, if you’re doing what you hate?”, “ Dying is 100% worth it, if it means u can do what I love/want.” being a very real, heartfelt message to an entire nation dying due to loneliness, overwork, and depression. ( This main theme is missed as western culture values individualism so so much. But all humans experience the pressure/guilt of “be normal.” “Do what you should.” “You should like this, not that.” These are just off the cuff. And knowing both of your guys’ content, I’m sure you could come up with some stuff actually interesting, and unique stuff, that’d be hella interesting/fun.

[@tatsusama3192]

I really like this theory, especially having recently been watching a playthrough of Tears of The Kingdom, haha

[@maasl3873]

There is a color spread with the princess Vivi in the castle of the Fishmen with golden dragons as statues.

[@RenDolan]

no one feels weird about bonnie lipstick pattern? pay close attention, in a japanese comic, I find that kind of pattern usually only used by old woman, old literally old, like 70 - 80. old grandma, whose body already shrunk because of old age. i wonder, why though, this young lady who looks like in her 20, wear a lipstick like that? and i think, bonnie actually a grandma who ate devil fruit, because of that, she is not kuma daugther, her memories about kuma as her father comes because kuma took bonnie memories, all of her memories. clean like a baby. i dont know why, maybe because bonnie wanted that.

[@DNQOG]

Perfect video at 2:30am

[@dissect123]

What a week for OP fans! Garp raids Beehive and Joyboy pumps out another grand theory. Two old legends roaming wild!

[@quinnimon]

11:37 had me floored pal, but I couldn't but notice what looked like straight bangs of hair over Imu's face in a few recent panels I almost believe this. Jewelry Bonney French: Jouelrie Bonney Jouelrey Bonney [J] [O] [Y] [B] [O] [Y]

[@benlavis3006]

Loved your video, great to see the egg on Rogers ship get a mention. I love all the stuff in dragons too, I don't know if you're a gamer at all but the recent Elden ring featured dragons which can take human form and had a civilisation that worshipped them and it's really got me thinking a lot about one piece y'know 👍 keep up the amazing content thank you

[@waelbenamar2976]

part 3 needed 4 sure ....ur ideas are the ultimate

[@AkTaSbOy]

This is really out there and I'm here for it. Keep cookin JB!

[@AkTaSbOy]

Man, I was too fast, the Axolotl talk started after my comment, I am even more on board, goddamn.

[@Aether_GM]

Haven't started video yet. It just seems that somehow Dragon would be the Celestial. something poetic about a Dragon rebelling against the rest.

[@mrbushido56]

I have a theory that carrot actually eats bonney df and bonney dies

[@JoyBoyTheories]

Dont kill my theory T.T

[@zingy1914]

the 4 gods of skypiea: sun=luffy, land=imu(dominion over planet), forest=bonney(branching timelines), rain=dragon maybe the egg was growing a new devil fruit, we've seen fruits reincarnate but never new ones. maybe there are always 4 god fruits for each blue to keep the world in balance but imu stopped that with making the world unbalanced.

[@sojiroseta98]

JB im usually with u and i love to let u cook but this has got to be the craziest OP theory i ever heard lol (Jewlery Bonney being a god)

[@labradog05]

Best theories are here in this channel

[@Thriveon]

Nice takes. Got me in my head

[@StardustMonkey]

Man this is a great original theory… my thought process went to the dragon god holding actual significance in balancing all of creation and fate… so roger was too early because they needed a replacement dragon god before they could act on replacing imu… meaning imu really is serving as the role greenbull reminded us of that the celestial dragons create the world! So Bonney being the human form of the egg and being raised by pandaman makes sense

[@mathieuleader8601]

An interesting think to consider is that when empowered Gorosei Topman has two crested horns like an axalotl

[@dmturtle2109]

The biggest twist in one piece. You got axolotled lolololol

[@bartosztomaszewski5854]

I got chills near the end, i sincerly hope it will be true

[@Drakholm]

You make youtube worth it dude.

[@spennshell]

The tin foil is tight on this one but man imma get mine tight too and hear you out

[@robinblack9]

JB initials got me convinced lol

[@yakirchernin6015]

I hope it is true, and not "oops. Didnt I said her fruit? Is the age age fruit" but you evidence for something big for Bonney

[@christianmayonove6914]

"Urogue represents faith, not that we know much about it" Boy, faith got thrown out the window ages ago, maybe that was Oda's commentary LMAO

[@JoyBoyTheories]

The crew's faith in Luffy is a big deal!

[@darthstigater6642]

The Axolotl fruit was the one that Smiley had on Punk Hazard, so I doubt that Imu has had that fruit for any substantial amount of time if at all.

[@oblivioustouch9012]

Whoa JB don’t spoil us. 2 vids in one week! We eating good.

[@jjthealien6886]

I like the water dragon/axolotl theory because it relates to kaido/Momo's fruit as a mythical fish fish fruit instead of a dragon dragon fruit.

[@HueTheo]

Love this Idea
