Gladius' Pop-Pop Fruit Explained!!

[@ivanbluecool]

Fan theory: tekkin was going to talk about the paw paw fruit as we know more about it's powers but an auto correct turned paw to pop and that's how we got this video.

[@burtismydogsname]

He’d definitely do something like that

[@russellcartledge2248]

That's the most Tekking thing I've ever heard. This is canon now.

[@TOPA808]

Tekking: "Okay, time to sit down and make a video on Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit and exactly how it can POP people all over the world... I NEVER MADE A VIDEO ON GLADIUS' POP-POP FRUIT!... Welcome everyone to this video about the Pop-Pop Fruit!

[@nermunarsaw2935]

My thoughts exactly 😂

[@lordbendtner6404]

Gladius looks cool though

[@blktom]

I liked Gladius when he was introduced, and I do have the feeling Oda was really inspired to draw him at first. Then after drawing him for awhile was like, 'this guy is a pain in my ass to draw constantly' and was done with him.

[@sinancothebest]

Gladius legit was my favorite member of the Dofflamingo family before they fleshed out Señor Pink

[@snowwhite1494]

He actually had a pretty versatile and underrated fruit. An awakened version in a competent user would be pretty scary

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

Gura Gura No Mi has now found a solid competitor for most destructive devil fruit in the world lol. Could easily anihilate entire towns, cities, islands on a whim if user trained awakening enough. Heck, they could probably terraform the grand/redline with enough time!

[@alkhemia23]

​@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero true awakened would just be able to turn a whole island into a bomb or whole sections of the redline.

[@harlster3373]

I’ll have you know Tekking Gladius is one of my favourite characters Design wise Though on a more serious if this fruit’s awakening makes it so others swell up explode but it hurts them or makes so he can make stuff like the air swell up and explode I think this fruit would be really terrifying

[@Akari-br7ci]

Agreed.

[@AnyMEmdq]

He tried to kill both Robin and Bartolomeo. He needs to rot in hell But yeah, he looks amazing!

[@sexmachine77]

GIadius is so cool man

[@insertpunhere2872]

The whole gathering of bricks reminds me of an old Reddit story. The Redditor's Grandfather worked as a brick layerer. The grandfather would steal a few bricks a day for the entire time he worked there, and he worked his entire life there. After his death, his boss found out that the Grandfather made a few houses on his property with all the bricks he stole. He was more impressed than pissed, and also really couldn't have gotten him arrested, nor could he have gotten the houses teared down. So, he just let them be.

[@HeraclesN-fp1bw]

Gladius maybe not a character that’s my favorite in the series but out of the Doflamingo Family he is one of my favorites with his Steampunk design & the Pop-Pop Fruit is definitely up there as a Paramecia Fruit I would eat plus I find it funny that he was fooled by Kin’emon with his Doflamingo disguise

[@therealjaviboy2]

For years that moment with Kin'emon had me believe that somehow his garb garb fruit also had the ability to perfectly camouflage someone no matter how bad the actual outfit was. But in reality Gladius was just kinda dumb in that respect lol

[@StrawhatRye]

Actual Gladius was my favorite character Tekking! I really liked him. I hope he comes back some day.

[@lucasaraujo4920]

The only valid comment in this video

[@javongreen734]

We salute you for your loyalty 😂

[@johnlauer4858]

While he’s not my favorite character by a long shot, I do love his design. I remember a theory at the beginning of the Dressrosa arc where people thought he was a toy and/or the leader of the toys? It’s been a while lol

[@AbramSF]

I didn’t know who Gladius was before this video. But now this character is in my top 50 One Piece characters.

[@ivanbluecool]

Oda is how ideas should be recycled. While the doffy group and crocodile groups have similar ideas and powers they don't step over each other

[@Tuskbumper]

I mean some do though. Like some are genuinely better than the others that they can be compared to.

[@Blaze.Wrld.]

​@@TuskbumperI love how you named 0

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

An awakened version of this would give even the Gura Gura No Mi competition for raw destructive power. Could pop away entire islands or sections out of the global lines lol

[@Hat_shaped]

Gladius was not my favourite character... But his design is SO sick and he was one of my favourite minor antagonists in Dresrossa

[@BarriusTheGreatius]

Oh my God! It feels like it's been years since we've had a video like this

[@deanbruckner1444]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@jarosawerdanowski4295]

Gladius isn't my favorite but i like when he become very big and funny looking so i hope we see him again.

[@TheWarmachine375]

Mr. 5: "Who are you?" Gladius: "I'm you but better at blowing things up."

[@mathieuleader8601]

when we first got introduced to Gladius I thought he was Sabo having survived his killing by St. Jalmac

[@psychronia]

There are some devil fruits out there that seem capable of messsing up inanimate objects and I worry about how it can basically instantly kill the Sunny.

[@andrewdiedrich3097]

They can't because the Sunny has plot armor.

[@lokan_kuru8721]

​@@andrewdiedrich3097it's literally made out of plot armor wood

[@ankinset]

Ily tekking. This year, 2023 has been rough. You and your vids they've been there with me while ive dealt with shit and expanded my mind in one-piece! thanks man, till next year

[@JD-yn8ce]

gladius definitely isnt my favorite character story wise, but tbh his design makes him my favorite member of the doflamingo pirates by far.

[@Jmcbabygoat23]

one day i want a video of tekking showing us all his anime props, anime hats , anime swords, manga collection etc that would be a cool IRL video idea

[@therealchristian1]

Gladius is in my top 5-10 favorite characters. He's cool as hell.

[@jessicahendricks2979]

Takking when you talked about Doflamingo and his family getting released from Impel Down this thought came to me. All the need is someone to get the seaprime stone cuff off them and Pica dose the rest he would change the inside of the prison to let them out

[@martinzemanek2257]

Common just say "End it up with a bang". It feels like a perfect pun for this fruit :D

[@ActualHumanMigz]

5:10 it's actually hilarious to me that you stacked your hats like this on this particular day. There was a NYE party I went to years ago where I just went around grabbing plastic top hats no one wanted and started stacking on my head 😂

[@azeragaming]

Gladiua was my favourite, before we knew him and senior pink was my least, and that flipped around when we got to know about them senior pink became my rav on the dofy family ❤

[@CMDNEYO416]

His power was really cool, and his fight was fun, so yea, I do like that character

[@neon_vendingmachine]

This is one fight i always go back to because of the chilling chad energy that Bartolomeo exudes when he uses the Homage Fist 👊 😩😭😭😭

[@ObiClon]

A very interesting yet underrated character from the Donquixote Pirates given he got overshadowed by the likes of Baby 5, Sugar or Senor Pink.

[@MrMIKI3m]

The forearm has two bones, the radius and the ulna/cubital bone

[@maxspecs]

Gladius introduced me to a whole wide world of fanart, much like many of the other weird devil fruits in this series.

[@AnyMEmdq]

Happy Ace's Birthday, everyone!

[@lucasvandecasteele9904]

2:20 my favorite from the DF (but not at all in top 50 of all OP character)

[@thefuzz457]

Speaking of lesser known characters, one of my favorites is The Fighting King Elizabello. I like his style and his ability King Punch is pretty strong and he doesn't even have a devil fruit.

[@iFkNxLegend]

Do you think Bonney could read poneglyphs using her distorted future technique?

[@patrickzalatoris3206]

Hmmm, a distorted future where binney learns to translate poneglyphs

[@codydoxey2497]

Gladius was my favorite of the regular officers he has an amazing design and I enjoy his use of his powers.and he was apart of picas army being my favorite of the elite officers and doffy was one of my favorite warlords. So yea im unironically a Gladius fan and I would use his name when I was playing zelda and what not games till now cause I always put in capone bege as my name lol. Plus Gladius fought bartolomeo and was targeting nico robin some of my fav characters so there is alot to love about gladius.

[@Romero_m8]

His design is really sick, it's like steampunk sonic

[@HurricaneDDragon]

I also thought Gladius would be Doflamingo’s right-hand man after that first time we see him. I was hoping he was gonna be the Darth Vader of the Donquixote Family with Doflamingo himself being the Emperor, of course. His initial design with the top hat was perfect, I don’t know why Oda messed it up. And just like with Mr. 5, his ability had so much unreached potential.

[@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149]

"Yes, and it is terrifying." dear god

[@RayanMADAO]

didnt expect a video on gladius today

[@josemarisanoria884]

gladius is actually, seriously my favorite character tekking.

[@korraidav1049]

I’m about to finish this entire video and I cannot remember a single point you brought up except for the fact that Mr 2 is still alive O.O

[@TheWarmachine375]

Happy New Year Tekking101!

[@Sheesh-man42069]

You already knows it’s about to be a good day when tekkin uploads a devil fruit explained video

[@BloodyAbsol]

Gladius is in know what my favorite character, HOWEVER he does have one of my favorite character designs in the series

[@briandkwik9837]

Have you ever thought about kumas shadow? Is his shadow still kumas shadow or is it something else. Also if you remember back in thriller bark Dr hogbacks plate throwing zombies corpse gained sentience during the battle with chopper do you think that may have been foreshadowing what will happen with Kuma at some point or if it will be another character

[@pmbo8]

5:01 TEKKING READY TO GO TOPHATS??? 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@naxmaxJK]

Ya know what since no one said anything thank you for the random key and peele steampunk reference tekking i absolutely love when they do it too 😂

[@obara7366]

Happy New Year, Matt!

[@Die4Gesichter]

Gladius was always my favourite designed non-main villain. Sadly he didn't get much development But the fight against Barto was awesome

[@AccelSternritter]

His design was sick man, at least he went out in a great fight

[@stormstrider1990]

Gladius was a pretty cool villain, with a pretty decent devil fruit.

[@SamTheGumMan117]

Hope Barry with his Dad enjoyed the holiday season with Gladius he's got one of my favourite designs and his power has always been popping to me

[@alkatron768]

Oh yeah, Gladius is totally my favorite sword

[@peko-kiara]

This how much I like gladius I've been avoiding onepiece videos until I catch up with the manga but I saw that thumbnail and had to click

[@musicf3b]

Year is going out with a BANG!

[@Empress-Angel]

All I remember about Gladius is how people saw the top hat and immediately starting guessing he was Sabo.

[@eliezeracostagonzalez7741]

Gladius is my favorite character in all of one piece, can’t wait for him to make his comeback

[@ryanpiotr1929]

I do actually think about this fruit sometimes. It's one of those powers that just seems so fun to use for no reason.

[@RyanMarc-nk6of]

Man besides Doflamingo Gladius was the cool looking guy. I dug his aesthetics and whatnot

[@fang238]

HAPPY NEW YEARS

[@Smooby_Dooperson]

1:26AM EST HAPPY NEW YEAR TEKKING !

[@guadalupevieyra9372]

Great video! Im in the middle of rewatching one piece and I just watched the episode when Gladius was defeated by rooster 🐓

[@Jyiber]

One of these days he's going to have a stack of bricks next him and he's going to reveal it to be Barry's whole extended family before PLOT TWIST: they're all dead. This is a pile of corpses. _stares at screen_ "Moving on..."

[@here5137]

you ever think about uploading your audio to the podcast app or spotify? it’d be helpful, i can’t leave my phone open while i listen since it’ll kill my battery but imagine if i was able to turn the phone off and put it in my pocket and still hear your beautiful voice for 8hours a day 5 days a week without my phone dying. it would be incredible, and i look forward to it :) hopefully lol reeeeeegardless happy new year thankyou for all the videos man, you’re very appreciated and loved! 💜

[@AnyMEmdq]

3:20 He tried to kill Robin and Bartolomeo. If he is your favourite character, you are a monster! That being said, not favourite, but he is a cool character, interesting enough to learn his name at first read back in Dressrosa, at least

[@joshinthesauce4636]

Well some people’s favorite characters are villains that have done worse things than Galdius ( e.g., Akainu, Rob Lucci, Crocodile, Doflamingo). Unless they’re someone who is absolutely despicable/not strong at all/ no tragic backstory to explain their actions like Charloss or Spandam, then I don’t see a problem with people liking evil characters.

[@4milxz]

Last vid of the year and you uploaded on my birthday 🎉 w vid tekking and more to come ❤

[@Nightshroud8]

HAPPY NEW YEARS MATT FROM THE UK I hope you have a great one dude

[@KumaTorey]

The design of Gladius reminds me of that steampunk dude from the 1st HellBoy movie

[@ethereal5322]

Actually, gladius was my favorite character Tekking. I really liked him, i hope he comes back some day.

[@afeathereddinosaur]

What of Gladius ruptured the Red Line? What would happen then? Like the whole Red Line, kaboom!

[@coreyharvey8953]

I enjoyed his design so much!

[@gavinbrown216]

I was expecting a “going out with a bang” joke

[@TheBigE9999]

You forgot to mention the direct superior of this fruit, the soda-soda no mi

[@shwoompLoomps]

Happy new year Matt! Thanks for all the great content :)

[@meiyo9460]

He was most certainly my favourite character, tekking! (Among the doflamingo family after Doffy, Viola, Baby 5, Senor Pink and Lao G)

[@thehonoredone2361]

This video is gonna pop off that's for sure.

[@BoofYT11]

The fact that Tekking just happened to have the sword that Gladius is named over

[@NightmareGER]

Gladius was my favorite character from the Doflamingo family

[@zaczane]

Great entertainment for while I was making jello shots for the new year!

[@Nautlocke_Vt]

ngl i didnt know he existed as a character but his design is top tier

[@rickw4371]

Happy new year tekking!!!

[@TechnoHailss]

HAPPY NEW YEAR ITS 12:01 here HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

[@kudvin101]

Have a happy new year everyone

[@comedyking343]

Barry’s dad is just visiting for the holidays. He wouldn’t want to impose

[@in-craig-ible6160]

Another random video. Thanks Tekking!

[@elcalabozodelandroide2]

Gladius was my 2nd fav dressrosa character , my absolute favorite is barto for taking him out

[@tatsumidavis3257]

He was terrific as rooster-kun bashed his skull in

[@joedvb2]

Happy new year tekking

[@nermunarsaw2935]

IMHO the most memorable characters from the Doflamigo pirates, aside from Doffy, are: 1) Senor Pink (due to his hardboiled fight with Franky) 2) Pica (because Zoro laughed at his voice) 3) Sugar (very interesting devil fruit; also God Usopp scaring the living shit out of her twice) 4) Trebol (mainly cuz of his boogers combined with him not having any concept of personal space; I know people like that) 5) Dellinger (cuz Zoro kicked him in the ass without even drawing his swords) 6) Lao G (I really like the old man needs his glasses schtick that he did) The remaining members are a bit of a blur for me.

[@jesusmunoz6161]

Oddly I did like gladius but only his design but I skipped his entire section in the story so I just kept watching the openings and this guy showing up like man I bet this guy is cool and super important when he appears and never appeared for me till years later rewatching dressrosa

[@emeraldhoarder2298]

I wonder if lufyy is resistant or just straight up immune to the awakened pop pop fruit

[@javongreen734]

No cap when I seen the thumbnail I was like who tf is that I literally didn't remember him I was thinking is he in the RA lol

[@johnnypollack3243]

Keep up the awesome work and videos tekking love the video

[@radiantburrito]

THE DAD STAYS

[@DogeTheTruth]

There actually is an account on Twitter that is dedicated to Gladius which is pretty cool.

[@Karma-vu9qe]

Happy new years!!!

[@Gappys5thTesticle]

As a Mechanic I rly love his steampunk design, and his devil fruit would be a blast ;) to have

[@Jmcbabygoat23]

HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@seventempest5189]

Great video to end the year on tekking. See you in 2024🎉
