yeah I also kinda got a reverse universe strawhat vibe, like the BB pirates really being the other side of the same coin to the strawhats. I also loved the way they interacted, makes me actually wanna root for and join Teach. He's also got one of the best if not the best song out of all the 48 OP characters. If you didn't know, One Piece released a CD with 48 songs performed by the characters' voice actors and Blackbeard's is the only one which is a typical pirate song. Other songs include Luffy (obviously), the other SHs, Kizaru, Kuzan, Sakazuki, Ace, Doffy and a couple more.

I think Kuzan wasn't added later as the tenth titanic captain, but he's just a "hidden" one, not as known to the public as Burgess or the others. So there were rumors (Smoker asking him if it's true he's got connections to "darkness" - aka Blackbeard) but it's not public knowledge.

They are negotiating right now with their fist, actually they already finished the negotiation, now they are just making it look good. Garp trades himself for the rest of them.

[@ComicCrossing]

Yeah that makes too much sense. I do still think Aokiji is in deep cover and itd be terrible for his cover if Koby escapes. So the only way to get Koby out of this situation while maintaining his cover will be to obtain an even better captive. Which would be Garp. Though I do admit I went from being absolutely sure Kuzan was undercover and with Sword to only being about 70% sure. If he did join Blackbeard because their interests aligned he may still be working for Justice in his own way but completely separated from the Marines. Even Sword. So he is on Blackbeards Crew even if he doesnt agree with him on everything. Because like Blackbeard said, that doesnt matter.

Scopper being the Burn Scar makes the most sense to me. It was first revealed in the Roger / Oden flashback that the “last” red ponegliff was on Fish-Man island, so I always thought one of them would’ve went back and gotten it. Initially I thought it would’ve been Shanks but it’s looking like that’s not the case. Everything else you mentioned about him I completely agree with.

So to suddenly have Dragon be like “Hey, I have a ponegliff. Oh yeah I just didn’t tell Robin about it until my Son (who’ve I’ve shown barely any interest in) was ready to get it.” Just seems completely off. He already knows something, that’s why he created the revolutionary army to begin with so why care who becomes the Pirate King. Also make no sense in the story as well. Countries are already revolting, Sabo is “dead” but Dragon is going to put that all aside to watch Shank vs Blackbeard vs Luffy fight for his ponegliff?

[@jaistar4695]

I think you’re right on the last minute change with no one else joining the Straw Hats making Aokiji bump up to becoming a Tenth Titanic Captain. It seems very clear with some of the writing that Yamato or Carrot were supposed to become crew members.

[@goldmemberpb]

It does feel a bit odd that SH does not have a Logia member at all. Carrot would have been perfect had the whole yuki yuki no mi theory panned out. A novice logia would not be OP.

[@Profitglutton90]

Yamato was already accepted into the crew. It’s just a matter of time before she officially joins which she most likely will before the final war.

[@genep9302]

from the moment yamato was introduced it didnt seem like she would join, oda planted the seed of doubt early on , whenever she would ask to join luffy didnt give her a straight answer right away, luffy always called her by a nickname, something he doesnt do for other would-be strawhats. to ME, i think it was clear she would never join, same as carrot. if you look at interviews with oda's editor, he really liked carrot a lot i think he influenced oda to include her more in the manga than she was ever intended to be

[@batcheethebug6197]

Did Sawyer really forget about Vivi? Of course, she will be the 11th straw hat in the end. Why else would Oda reintroduce her in the New World? Also, in the beginning of the series Luffy said he wanted at least 10 crewmates (aside from himself). So there was never room for Yamato or Carrot to begin with.

I think it was a waiting game for 2023. Seeing that it’s the year of the rabbit, and carrots birthday is in May, coincidence? I think not.

“Bepo Transforming now serves a story purpose. I recall thinking 4 years ago that Chopper would go Sulong as a final Power Up. Now I think that Chopper’s little flashback conversation with Bepo kind of hints at the idea that...” Going Sulong without the need of a Full Moon will be a Power Up for Carrot? “...That if he would get a 1v1 at Onigashima, then Chopper would have gone Sulong.” ...I fail to see how Bepo turning Sulong Without the Moon is a hint towards Chopper Going Sulong. Like, what? I personally can’t fathom how that is the conclusion that you are drawing from this situation. Oh well, I guess it is hard to let go of one’s old ideas. Although, you have to admit that Chopper going Sulong would arguably be the biggest middle finger possible against Carrot. That being said, if Chopper creating a drug that allow Minks to go Sulong Without a Full Moon present is Not a Major Hint that Carrot will make a return, then I have no idea what Oda is thinking. Taking such a hype idea as a Mink going Sulong at will and turn it into nothing but a Get Out of Jail Free Card for Law would be one of the absolute lamest decisions ever made in all of storytelling. It would be like developing a cure for Cancer and then use the container containing the formula as a paper weight. “But the Moonless Sulong Drug is useful for the Final War” The story don’t need a special drug for that. Just put in an uninterrupted Full Moon for the final battle if you want the Minks to take part in it. There has to be a better explanation for Oda’s need to put this drug in the story other than a Polar Taxi Service and a Oda Oopsie Hand Wave. Besides, if this was all the Drug is meant to be used as, why use Bepo as a showcase instead of Carrot? “But Oda made changes to the story, which means Oda wrote Carrot out of the story.” If that was the case, then he has had almost a year’s worth of chapters to put in a “Good Bye, Carrot” scene of any kind, instead of going with a scene that shows Carrot being dissatisfied with a decision for her to become the next ruler of Zou, that was Forced upon her by Inu and Neko. He put in a few quick ‘ripped off band-aid’ scenes for Yamato not joining, but decided to keep Carrot’s situation ambiguous, whilst also continuously hinting at her relevance ever since we last saw her. Finally, for anyone wondering, Yamato’s Good Bye Chapters as well as Carrot’s being forced to become Zou’s Ruler Chapters all happened After the 1 Month Story Altering Break.

If its with Scopper that'd be so awesome!

I really like the theory that Gabban is the burned man, and that the black ship is the Oro Jackson and the egg creature is causing the whirlpools.

Probably everybody knows him from his wanted poster, since his bounty might be the highest in the world, so it wouldn't make sense for his existance to be a rumor that only a few people know about.

[@brendanyuki3784]

Good theories though few things I wanna point out: 1. Looking similar to a previous character doesn't mean they came from the same background (Grus and Rosinante) 2. Oda doesn't need to match 1v1 strawhats and bb pirates. He can do whatever he wants at the end, which doesn't necessarily mean he did a last minute change at the end of Wano 3. Scopper being the Man Marked w/ Flames is surely an interesting theory, however, the part where the egg houses a creature that can create whirlpools is a bit of a stretch, but not saying its outside the realm of possibility. We don't even have a clue on what's inside the egg. Just sayin that it takes a lot of effort to do it that way than sticking with, lets say Dragon.

[@HasanShah-wv2yw]

Actually oda does have to match 1v1 with bbs crew. If bb is going to be the final pirate threat and is the foil to Luffy. It's reason to believe that they would have similar structures which they clearly do. Your third point just sounds like you want it to be dragon. We only ever see him on an island in current time never on his boat that we already saw in the asl arc. Meaning that he most likely is stationed primarily at head quarters. It's not much of a reach being scopper because we haven't seen or heard about him in current time. And it's not to far out there thinking the egg became a pet/friend like how laboon is to brook. Like at some point we have to find out what it is. Also wouldn't black beard have noticed dragons ship when he attack him?

[@brendanyuki3784]

@@HasanShah-wv2yw its not actually required to be a 1v1 believe it or not. Oda can spin it so many ways. Ppl are just fixated that it has to be 1v1. Not saying it wont happen, but theres also a possibility that it might not. Open mindedness. 3rd theory: Not vouching the Monkey D. Dragon theory, just stating it as an example because he already almost checks the reqs to be that "Fire Marked Man." compared to the Scopper theory, where him making a comeback is still a theory yet a theory's made atop of it. And yes, I agree it is possible that the egg can be a pet, but you also have to consider the idea that it might not. What are the chances that it is a pet + the chances of it knowing how to create whirlpools + the chances of it even being tamed OR is it even an egg in the first place and not just a decoration? We don't really know. Heck, Oda might not even reveal what that egg is for.

[@blur8163]

Wow I love your Gaban theory with the egg and all. Stuff like that is why I’ve been watching for so long. Cheers

[@Profitglutton90]

I don’t know why people haven’t though Yamato and Aokiji would be a final BB pirate matchup. Ice type vs ice type combatant would be a pretty interesting matchup.

Robin vs Kuzan makes the most sense to me

[@psykos233]

@@ReiseLukas Robin stands no chance vs Kuzan and he isn't friends of her, he just follows his own justice and wants to achieve something and that doesn't mean he needs Strawhats.

@@psykos233 I'm tired of people saying "This character is no match for this character " This is a Shonen for crying out loud. If she fights Kuzan she'll get a powerup. We don't even know the limits to Demonio Fleur yet

[@psykos233]

@@ReiseLukas In this shounen, someone like Nami even with a Power up was no match to Ulti and needed plot help to not die and win vs Ulti. Robin to this day have no haki unlocked, she have no business fighting Aokiji who is a ex Admiral with haki unlocked a fruit completely leaves her useless.

You finally fixed your audio! Nice. It was always too low. Apart from the ridiculously loud outro music.

The scooper cope is insane ( nice video )

[@afromarco005]

I love Blackbeard I hope we follow him for a dozen chapter. His point of view is so refreshing

[@kathab8826]

My theory is that both Kuzan and BB are playing each other and that there is an actual 10th titanic captain, namely Urouge. I don’t think Oda changed anything due to Carrot or Yamato not joining, and Yamato could join later on to fight Kuzan.

[@1thepeacefulwarrior1]

I think Urouge is a nice dude though he wouldn't align himself with BB.

[@yukijadenfilms3425]

I’ve been saying that thing about John’s treasure but nobody I tell even remember the armband making me look crazy.

[@charlesnnuji2801]

Always a pleasure watching your reviews of one piece I haven't been getting notifications about your vids🤔

[@TentomushiHH]

Oda is wasting no time, moving pieces off the board.

[@seekouttruth]

Chopper giving bepo a rumble ball saved law and his crew from blackbeard. Yet he has a hundred berry bounty. 😂

[@GDSprodify]

Honestly, The Strawhats had such Handicaps in their favor that their journey was Easier than Heart Pirates or Kidd Pirates.

[@vaiyt]

Luck is a big factor in getting to the top, look at blackbeard and buggy. Its strongly hinted roger needed plenty of luck too with the edd war flashback

So Nostalgic to watch Sawyer 7 from back in my days in Naruto.

[@reyimundo]

I always look forward to your content! Nobody does it like you man honestly thank you! 🙏🏽

[@CrossOutBryce]

Still to this day it's odd to me that Carrot didn't become a member of the crew. My only theory now is that Oda decided he DOES want to circle back to Vivi and add her to the crew.

[@zom8680]

Vivi was the first cut Carrot the deepest Yamato was the dumbest So much stupidity in not having them join but we can only hope they show up as Grand Fleet members at least

[@UrbanBeatz9]

Always love your analysis of the story. Great work dude

[@lJADU]

Hope you’re OK, Sawyer! Weird to not see your review this week!

[@Gabrielzinho7891235]

I dont think thats what happened though it is a possibility. Oda set up Luffy wanting a crew of 10 since chapter 1, and it doenst really makes sense for Oda to plan for a mysterious 10th captain only to completely scrap him a couple of months before BB started to get focused on, I think Oda simply wanted to make Aokiji reveal a surprise, even if it was obvious by now. Though I'm kind of biased on this since I still think Yamato will return and be the 10th SH

[@gemodemplay415]

Been waiting for your video.

[@spartanvinc]

I think there is a 0% chance that we will get a 10 strawhat vs 10 blackbeard pirates.

[@kernalbert4939]

Why do you think that?

[@CrossOutBryce]

Why?

[@randomperson1997]

I agree with the other lads. What could possibly make you think that?

[@kernalbert4939]

@@randomperson1997 Maybe he's being semantically cute and thinks there will be 11 or 12 on either side? (And honestly with Oda's penchant for story expansion, I can see this as a real possibility)

[@jesusgabrielcarmonamedina1597]

Thank you so much Sawyer, no OP chapter is complete without your review.

[@eloquitodelaesquina]

I have been saying Prince Gruss probably is the real prince of some Kingdom allied to the world government and thats why everyone calls him prince, like its done with everyone from a royal family (they allways say their name with their title)

Starting my day with a Sawyer review before my 7am shift is great

[@IamTheSenate3]

I feel like Aokiji is gonna be a revolutionary

[@NinebalancedGuy]

I think he's dragon secret right-hand man, I think dragon is the Man Mark flames, his tattoos is actually burn marks when he fought Akainu back in the days, just like kizaru is Akainu right hand man.

[@KMFlivin]

Best reviews on KZbin and overall one piece creator easily 😊

[@vestysteiner9480]

Very good point about the egg on the Oro Jackson hatched a creature that could possibly create whirls but personally I would prefer the "man marked by flames" to be either Xebec or a new character because if it was Scopper he'd probably just give Luffy the last Poneglyph and I'd really prefer a fight over it, another badass character for Luffy and the Strawhats to overcome. Same goes to Dragon most likely but in my opinion Dragon is most probably not the one because he doesn't really care for the One Piece or piracy and since even a mere Captain/Commodore Smoker at the beginning of the series ( in the "weakest" sea, the East Blue) instantly knew who Dragon was so if Dragon really was the man marked by flames people would not refer to him as such because damn near everybody in the world knows who Monkey D. Dragon is. Very good Video and content as always! Much love and appreciation from Berlin, Germany!

[@FtdsECh0]

A 50 page one piece chapter would be awesome

[@f.carasind4188]

We know that observation haki works best if you're calm so Koby's usage of it could have been limited in this chapter. And I was never convinced that Yamato would join the crew because something felt lacking here. The same is true for Carrot - because a perfect straw hat candidate would be both combined. Not that I haven't my own pet theory candidate which would surprise most of the community.

[@searchforhaqq]

Excellent analysis as usual. Sawyer putting in this work!!!!.And i do mean analysis as opposed to most of the others that just state facts and popular trending obvious theories.
