The Future Admirals: 12 Zodiacs Of The Marines!

[@earthisadonut7213]

Fun Fact: The Dragon who obviously could've won the race easily, decided to help solve some problems along the way. The Dragon stopped and made it rain for all the thirsty people and animals. The Dragon then blew a gust of wind to help a rabbit floating on a log cross a river. Does all of that sound familiar?

When the pheasant, monkey, and dog were first brought up, I honestly thought of the legend of Momotaro first.

[@rfreixo815]

That's also a reference. In fact, that's likely the reason why Kuzan was a pheasant instead of rooster.

[@DesiertoDigital]

Because they definitely are based off Momotaro, that's why Kuzan was Aokiji (Blue Pheasant) and not a Rooster. The newest members like Fujitora and Ryokugyu may be based off Chinese zodiac animals, but the original three admirals introduced to the story were definitely Momotaro references

I wonder if Akainu will almost get a partial redemption but then will be killed by Green Bull impaling him in the back (reminiscent of Ace in a way) for "betraying" the WG (or protecting Hibari when and if Sword defects from the WG.) I could see Green Bull being devastated by Akainu's "betrayal" and even telling him that "those who turn their back on the world government bring shame to their families" or the "gods" or some such line reminiscent of Akainu during Marine Ford. I doubt it but it would be interesting.

18:15 the idea works especially well for Aramaki, considering that when we first met him in silhouette-form after the timeskip, he specifically mentioned that he hadn’t eaten in 2 years… it would make sense if he simply stopped needing to eat as soon as he ate his DF and became a plant-man, living off of sunlight alone. It’s also perfectly possible that Aramaki got his DF when he joined up, while Fujitora had his for far longer. EDIT: I’m told he hadn’t eaten in 3 years, not 2.

Sengoku has white frills on his coat and since we've seen that Akainu keeps his red frills as the fleet admiral it could be surmised that Sengoku was the White sheep/goat.

[@oddcupcakegaming8924]

Technically, the color parts of the titles can vary from just the generic red, blue, green, etc colors because Fujitora doesn’t translate directly to ‘Purple Tiger’ but rather ‘Wisteria Tiger’ because Oda thought it sounded better. So even though Oda chose to only indirectly reference the color purple for the epithet of Fujitora, he still established that the naming convention for admiral epithets only need to symbolize a color with an animal rather than directly state a generic color. So there very well could be epithets that can vary from exclusively using orange or white so long as they somewhat vary from colors Oda has already used.

[@joegamergaming]

This probably extends to Pheasant being an acceptable substitution for Rooster in the Chinese zodiac, as long as it's similar (or sounds cooler) it counts!

[@nermunarsaw2935]

This video, combined with your previous video on Hibari's father possibly being Akainu, causes me to think a bit about Koby's storyline. As you say, I think it is pretty reasonable to expect Koby to become Admiral or even Fleet Admiral eos. In addition, I would like to predict that Koby will get Kuzan's fruit (yes my favourite admiral and the coolest dude in the world will have to die at some point). With Aokiji having been Garp's protege at one time and Koby being the current protege as well as the poster boy for the next generation of marines (sorry Prince Grus) the Garp/Kuzan/Koby storyline will come full-circle. Koby, having the chill chill fruit and being equal colleagues with Akainu will counterbalance Akainu's style of justice and also bring the Akainu/Aokiji storyline full-circle. Koby potentially being with Hibari in the future will just be icing on the cake to the story and reinforce the idea that personal relationships make everything more complicated (for marines and for pirates). How will Kuzan die? I don't want to think about it :(.

One experience of that which just happened to me was in Skyrim.

[@WitsarutSenachai]

Before Momonosuke, I thought the previous admirals (dog, monkey, pheasant) would remain and be surpassed by Koby because of this pink hair that could link him to the Momotarou story. Now however, I think Koby could be the rat that won the race of the twelve zodiac. His era might not come immediately at the end of One Piece like you said but in 20 or 30 years, he could be. Tying back to Momotarou story, alongside the new fleet admiral Koby there could be a new generation of dog monkey pheasant trio. One of them could be Kujaku, the peacock. She might not be the strongest but she could be the great teacher(mommy) for young new marines like Z was an admiral and a great teacher. Just my two cents tho. What do you guys think?
