And I like the connection with Enel since he is one of the only major enemies that hasn’t returned to the main story in some way. It would also make the Skypiea arc even more viable to the overall story than it already is since so many people say it’s irrelevant to the overall story.

[@acetofresh1]

Zoan’s can be neutralized by what they are originally. Humans wouldn’t get hybrids getting Human type fruits -- but the whole point of the Gomu Gomu is it just makes you a rubber man until awakening. That’s the whole reason it works as a plot twist / classified as Paramecia, because it functions largely like one until awakening

I’d also like to point out something. Luffy in gear 4th is probably a hybrid form if anything. He has the smoke stuff around his torso and his hair seems to be floating around a bit. Hyogoro also says he looks like a guardian diety he knows of. That has to be something related to sun god nika. I think there’s a translation where hyo says he looks like a fire god. Also I’d like to see Zoro and Sanji have another competition on Elbaf where they see who hunts the bigger creature.

[@the_chestnut_tanuki]

This one is interesting for sure- though I do think Enel comes back as a sort of antagonist 👀 so I don’t see him saving people since he took out the Birkans 😂 but I love the idea! Expecially my boy urouge coming back

[@solacee4327]

I'm hoping when he comes back he'll be on his own side. Kinda like a stronger version of Crocodile in Marineford, just helping and hurting everyone else based on his own whims (and in Enel's case based on his goal which will probably be derived from whatever he found out about on the moon, I think he will probably want the world government gone, or even be after the One Piece - or some other big thing like the ancient weapons to help him converge on everyone else) I also think it'd be hilarious if he came down on Elbaf to take it over only to see Luffy and be like "Oh you're here... ok I'm obviously not gonna fight you so I'll leave" and go after something else XD

[@sonofcronos7831]

Movies are not canon, Enel appearing in a movie is just like he appearing in a game or as a toy. His moon cover story became even more important with Egghead, because we came to learn that the Great Kingdom was a tech paradise in the past, just like the ancient city of Birka on the Moon. So clearly the Great Kingdom originated from the Moon civilization, so it makes complete sense for Enel to appear in Elbaf (where there could be a sky island in the top of the tree and also all of its norse connections).

The "bandit" form is the fox's full transformation, it's a "big monk". Luffy and Sengoku are humans that have eaten human fruits, so their transformations don't work quite the same.

[@FCTOKYOARG]

Great video! About the issue of the gomu gomu being a zoan. I think we can draw a paralelism between the gomu gomu and the yami yami. The yami yami is a logia fruit, but this fruit does not have the abilities of a common logia: his user cannot become the element and it also vulnerable to physical attacks, unlike other logias. Having this is mind, the gomu gomu, now hito hito no mi model Nika, could be an special zoan, just like the yami yami is an special logia. It could be that, since the fruit is a human fruit, the user who consumes it, does not gain the abilitie of transformation, but instead, it gave the perpetual ability of rubber and a final transformation into Nika, after the user achieved certain level of use of the same fruit

[@OnePieceOfEt]

I have to say I love your theories , I feel like every theory video I watch is very similar and theories in this channel are just so unique. My first video was lafro tale so, yes, unıque is the right word😂 And ı want to ask what do you think about amazon lily and queen lily connection? I have a mini theory if you are interested 😅 Chapter 1084 - they said lili went "Missing" and celestial dragons tried to capture a princess to be someones "pet" . The princess was Saved by the pirates working for joyboy . Chapter 1085- They tell vivi that she will end up "Missing" and end up someones "pet". Connecting the two things that happened chapter before. And the Rev army freed the slaves. I think what they are saying to vivi is what actually happened to lily . And she Was enslaved(maybe imus slave?and Thats why he drsires vivi) and eventually she and her fellow female slaves were freed by joyboy and found the Amazon lily And the placement of amazon lily is very suspicious to me too, amazon lily and impel down are just too similarly placed in the calm belt. So I think amazon lily was a place they held female prisoners/slaves 800 years ago , before joyboy freed the island

has anybody else noticed that vegapunk’s face is actually two faces - one upside down & one right side up? the weird shading above his “normal” eyes (its shading like it’s showing his eye sockets are recessed) show a completely separate eye in that space above the “normal eye.” the eyebrows are actually an upward-turned mustache. the weird long nose actually connects to the upside down nostrils that connect to the eyebrows/mustache. it’s easier to see the upside down face in the one manga panel that only shows one half of his face bc the shading is lighter & shows the actual eyes in the shading.

Interesting. Like Ace or Crocodile, I feel Enel was severely wasted due to how soon he was introduced. Urouge, Birka-Elbaf relation and the deity stuff with Elbaf are the ticket for him appearing again. His mind-reading skills and long range attacks were insane, without a doubt one of the strongest fruits introduced too soon. Enel can still get benefit of all that stuff, imagine Enel reading a Gorosei mind? Getting extremely mad when he realize Luffy's deity status, or if he realize that exists Imu? Crazy.

[@simonmoore3571]

enel’s devil fruit awakening would be seriously overpowered.

[@BS-gk2cb]

And if you look at urouge’s hands, you can see that he has the same amount of fingers as kuma. This is an often missed connection between the two.

[@Rouricht]

I am very certain that enel is also a zoan god fruit user. He has that awakened zoan cloak thing. Yes you could argue that he is just trying to mimic the real god thing but then you are left with the question how he would be able to know how a true awakened zoan form looks like. Also how he would know that this kind of awakened zoan users can be gods. Its very unlikely that he had that information so the chance of it just being a god fruit is higher. Lets also not forget his Raijin/Thor theme and the skypia altar which pretty much foreshadowed that there must be more than just one god fruit. Then there is that vegapunk call of which we dont know who he called at that time and maybe the connection why enel had the understanding of how to build the flying ship. Also luffy could not be the person who wakes up the giant robot on egghead since that robot was active 200 years ago while the gorosei stated that nika wasnt awakened for 800 years. So its very likely that the old user of the "Thunder God" fruit was a giant (Which explains attack names like "el thor") and it would make sense that now as enel arrives at egghead, the robot regains its energy. :D

[@_The_Traveler_]

I'm sure someone else has already said this, but I honestly wonder if certain devil fruit users themselves _are_ the ancient weapons. I mean, Luffy's ability is so incredibly broken, his will can rewrite the natural order of the universe, and completely warps universal laws in pursuit of whatever his goal is. So it would only be natural that there are other incredibly rare fruits that can bend the natural order to their will. Imu seems to be one of those, Enel might be another.

A point in that i think is important is that wyper recognized luffy having a paramecia type but we never see any paramecia fruits in skypiea, zoans and logias sure but no paramecias. So that begs the question of which paramecia was the one that wyper had seen prior, which i believe is uroges currently unknown fruit

[@Satou.Kazuma0000.]

1:03 I think that guy is the man with the burn scar.. 😮

[@tcbbctagain572]

Nah probably not. I the man marked by flames is actually Dragon

[@GucciRooster]

Thank you for gracing my feed with your art again

[@Typher_]

Oda has to do Urouge justice, having a black OP character would be dope

[@blacksox2004]

Just wanted to add the old lady that met Orouge in the gave off some very sinister vibes. I feel like she is a lot more than an old lady selling umbrellas

[@Whytho-dude]

this is one of those theories i wished i didnt listen to because now i think this is exactly how some of it is going to go

[@thephilosophersstoned3796]

Am I the only one who remembers Sabo speaking to "Ace" after he ate the Fruit? The Logias have already been shown to have a "Memory" that they pass on, it's not even a stretch to suggest they too have Will.

[@JRMagro]

I think urouge said blackbeard will be the storm as in he's going to the trigger for some sort of crazy event. Which I can totally see.

[@Grogthewhale]

I hope Enel comes back. He's one of my favorite characters in one piece

[@metal87power]

Oda writing: throwing random facts and allusions, connect dots later .

[@Gamesux421]

6:21, well didnt enel say that he needed the other islands? His ship started construction when his reign began and was finished about when the straw hats show up, he was likely setting an example to not go against him with Burka since it couldve been useless to his end goal of building the ship anyways.

[@Krimson_24]

It may be an unpopular opinion but I think uroge has a dope design and interesting devil fruit. I’d love it if he got stronger in the time skip.

[@iou2buckz]

I know Enel really prides himself being a "god" but deep inside, he knows he's not a real one. So I wonder what his disposition will be towards Luffy, who is an actual god, and a god that bested him badly. I think deep respect and admiration fitting for a real god.

[@ronflypotato4242]

That video was fire Good analysis,interesting and makes sense

[@pirate546]

damn this is actually crazy. didn't realize enel had a eletric powered ship so that oda could set up for this city in the moon. i always thought that the electrical ship seemed out of place and too sci fi for one piece at the time. i'm hyped to see the boy urouge!!

[@KimonoKenny]

I cannot wait for the Elbaf arc. CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER???

[@DEADRED33]

I've been wondering that maybe Luffy's fruit could be a very special fruit that has all 3 Devil Fruit Abilitys ?? Firstly his abilitys kind of worked like Logia powers since the beginning, because anytime he's hit or takes a hit it doesn't affect him cause he's rubber, unless he's hit by another Logia power user (eg). But also his fruit acts like a Zoan ability because he can transform his body in many different ways kinda like Chopper... And lastly it's also a Paramethia Fruit because Gear Fifth Luffy can interact and turn his surroundings in the rubber !!

[@pewbangbang]

22:15 what if sun god nika is the base transformation of the mythical zoan fruit? that could mean that there are even more transformations left for luffy to unlock resulting in even bigger lore
