Kuzan is a pretty interesting character, a chill dude and like his character development. But for me Shanks is the most ambiguous character so far in One Piece.

[@agguinimissan3979]

a lot of nothing, AOKIJI changed found his real way and he joined blackbeard on will and he is loyal to him its also shown in the 1082 that joined 1 year ago so he contributed to the empire o blackbeard just like shiryu and the others with their power and knowlegde as we saw it moreover we clearly see the place of an admiral in the pirate world as a second strongest commander yc2 as the cover page 1031 got confirmed with bb having 10 titanic captains in dressrosa + aokiji joined 1 year ago YC1 SHIRYU > YC 2 AOKIJI > highly possible YC3 FRUIT BURGESS WHAT IS AN ADMIRAL IN PIRATE WORLD ? not evough strong to be an emperor so maybe a underling if an admiral enter new world as a pirate he ll either get crushed and humilaited like kidd or join an emperor crew its all the truth, MARINE = 1 yonko and his army stop giving too much credit to the marine

[@somerandomguy340]

Really like your analysis, Kuzan's clash between obedience and free thought, his experiment on letting Robin go in order to find who he truly aligns with

[@yamikamisama9166]

I think one aspect people overlook is BB himself. To me, at least, he's never been someone who is almost pure evil like Doflamingo himself. He's someone who can be reasoned with unless there's an interest there that permits him from not doing so. As in, he's not someone to go around, causing havoc, killing people for the hell of it. People like Ace, WB, and Thatch were just unfortunate victims to his line of interests. But if he didn't need the Yami Yami he wouldn't have killed Thatch, if he didn't want the Gura Gura he wouldn't have killed WB, and if he didn't want to a bargaining tool with the Marines he wouldn't have captured Ace. For all 3 of them, BB never had any malice there. They just happened to have something he wanted, and Bb is someone who will go to any depths to get it as that his own freedom even if it's a corrupt one to many people. So when Aokiji joins his crew, it's essentially him signing up to BB's form of freedom, doing what he wants to do, no matter what he has to do, to achieve it, much like BB.

[@adoniscreed4031]

What you are saying is that BB is not sadistic, he just uses anyone as means to an end 👍 good point!

Aokiji is not the only marine who started out as completely loyal. Saul was just as loyal and he thought the archaeologists were tryna bring back an ancient weapon

[@MrMorj]

What I meant was loyal and close-minded. Saul was loyal, but was open to hearing criticism of the world government, and changed his mind based on what he heard. Aokiji really wasn't open-minded, he outright says that he's not going to question the world government's actions if it's for the greater good. It took the destruction of 100's of innocent civilians for him to begin questioning things. From there he decides to try being open-minded, which is where his character arc really begins.

[@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr]

@@MrMorj , Long Land Island and Post-Enies Lobby are more of the times Akoiji argued against the World Government more so than Pre-O’Hara destruction and Pre-Long Land Island because prior to those two events he’s always been either obedient towards the Black Beard Pirates, or he’s been obedient towards the World Government, but if Garp or Luffy doesn’t defeat Akoiji then that means Akoiji will only return to being a Marine whenever the World Government is reformed because as of right now the World Government aren’t any different than the Pirates they’re fighting against and claiming to be better than.

Kuzan's dialogue excerpt from film Z gives some fascinating insights into his potential motivations "Out on the sea, pirates are born and die in search of One Piece and for each one that dies, another is born Are pirates born because One Piece waits on the far side of this sea? Or does One Piece really exist because pirates do? What comes first? The dream or the dreamers? As long as pirates pursue their dreams, there will also be people who have to grieve the loss of loved ones. What can one even do? Is there even an answer Former navy admiral Z gave his own answer "If One piece vanishes, the pirates will vanish with it" " To which he smirkingly says (while addressing the SH's in that scene) "Don't you think he's jumping to conclusions" ?

Whatever reason he may have, we have to remember that he chose to become a Blackbeard pirate. Not a marine, not just some ordinary pirate, and most important of all, he also chose NOT to become a revolutionary.

[@spofet]

I think Kuzan wants to know the truth behind the void century and use BB to get that truth and also keep tabs on him just in case he gets out of control.

[@AnimeDLuffy]

I personally think Aokiji is only with the Blackbeard pirates to protect Robin. I think Aokiji realises that he will want to go after her at some point for her knowledge so is with them until that happens.

[@Kenny-o6i]

Woah

[@yakiynisrael2409]

Outside of the original BB pirates the rest of them also have their own agenda so Aokiji isn’t much different from them in that regard. Remember they discussed amongst themselves if they were going to leave BB if he couldn’t take the second devil fruit. They all have their own agenda as BB said.

[@ethancoonce5991]

I think it’s at least a cool coincidence that Aokiji is such a big part of the Ennies Lobby arc, an arc where luffy and crew do something that portrays them as evil, and Aokiji’s arc is him doing something that makes us really question whether or not he’s evil. Great video! Aokiji is one of my favorite characters, and this made me like him even more.

[@Lil_Wisty]

Jaguar D Saul also gave up his position from being a marine vice admiral and coincidentally it seems like it really resonated with alkiji

[@awolr]

Aokiji's goal will be something like finding others with a sense of justice similar to his to create an organization that will replace the marines. I believe he might eventually join the revolutionary army or work with them as well. He'll have then played with all three side of the justice trichotomy.

[@michaelwalker8870]

Kuzan could be a huge hint toward Dragon's journey thought not the same, Garp is always the imposing figure behind both stories. I could see that.

[@e-roc6472]

Bfore the 'Titanic Captain' reveal I thought Kuzan was secretly with the Revolutionary Army based on his talk with Smoker (as opposed to Sword). I cudnt picture him rejoining the WG in any form after wat happened. That being said if Dragon spent anytime in the marines back in the day, they hav to kno each other.

[@RaulMartinez-gd3pw]

What’s so amazing is that here we have a tertiary character and Oda has given him such rich development in the background of the story.

[@kingjaylen9712]

Kuzan has always been a very compelling character. Oda is putting in some of his best writing into him and I'm very excited to see where he goes from here

[@StardustMonkey]

Great video! My head cannon is that Aokiji wants to know why they had to slaughter the island of Ohara. He wants to find the truth of the void century to settle it once and for all of that was the right thing… so he probably realized while talking with black beard that they are in the running and a leader in the race for the rode poneglyphs … and even if they are not the winners they will at least be around and searching for the answers Aokiji is interested in.

[@turjomazumder]

Your analysis vids are great

[@Zyph8n]

From your point of view, it seems to me that Kuzan is actually running another experiment, to see how far absolute chaos fairs against absolute justice. As the counterweight, Kuzan's role shall be to learn how heave the tips of the scales are to try to understand the right path. As he said, he's living life on his terms now, so it's not like he will simply do as he is told.

[@Pogitoed]

Additionally BB hasnt really done anything to be seen as exceptionally evil in Kuzan's eyes, Kuzan had no attachment to WB or Thatch or Ace, He was evil fighting to kill WB and Ace himself during Marineford. He probably recognizes BB as not being as noble of a pirate as Luffy per say, but to him he hasn't done anything that bad

[@143Oshawott]

I kinda disagree with this to an extent. Being an admiral there’s no way he wouldn’t know what Teach was up to especially in the two years after Marineford. If you’re under the assumption BB didn’t do anything heinous after that sure, but I truly doubt it.

[@sweenigami]

I think Kuzan wants to reveal the true history to the world. It would make sense due to how traumatized he was in Ohara. He just thinks Blackbeard would be his best shot at doing it. If this is the case, I could see him turning on Teach and joining Luffy at some point.

[@shinxw]

this would also answer why he chooses bb over the revolutionary army for example

[@mokaljordan]

Yup 💯

[@monkeyboy275bobo8]

If thats really what he wanted wouldnt the strawhat pirates and especially Nico Robin be a way better option for him to cooperate with. Maybe not straight up joining (if he asked and Robin is fine with it Luffy would probably say yes) but he would at least try to get in contact with them if his main goal was the true history.

[@mokaljordan]

@@monkeyboy275bobo8 the strawhats were missing as far the marines were concerned during the timeskip and kuzan was probaly at his lowest emotionally, had he ran into the strawhats first before blackbeard, kuzan would def be a strawhat imo

[@monkeyboy275bobo8]

@@mokaljordan Yeah im aware that the strawhats were missing when he joined BB but my point stands. He would immediatly want to contact Robin once the strawhats reappeared. Him beeing part of BBs crew at that point wouldnt change the fact that he would want to meet her if his main goal is the true history.

[@misterd.2250]

Hey Morj, I go to college and major in liberal arts. I don’t know if you go down the route of connecting literature to one piece, but you should read New Atlantis by Francis Bacon(1613). It’s only like 20 pages long, and ever since egghead started the connection to this text has been crazy. Before it only used to connect with skypiea, the new world, void century, and the structure of the world government, but now it seems like Oda was truly inspired by this text. More people should know about this, thanks!

[@misterd.2250]

Also Dante’s Inferno is a complete parallel to impel down

W vid thanks for these explanations sometimes my thought process understands that Aokiji isn't bad on the surface level but sometimes it just helps if someone explains it properly to me with context 👌🏼

[@nilayparekh9585]

Aokiji does have a moral compass and he's following that to achieve his own goals but I wonder how he came to the conclusion that the ends justify the means. Joining the BB pirates to achieve his own goals is something that BB himself would do, and has done. I wonder about the path he follows. If Doflamingo says he hasn't heard good things, it makes you wonder what Aokiji has done since joining BB. All in all, Aokiji remains a fascinating character for me and I feel like the conclusion to his character arc will be incredible.

Kuzan Vs Akainu 2 at the final battle would be sick.

[@rowboatcop4451]

I think an important change in Kuzan can be seen in his original form of justice being "burning justice" but in the current time referred to as "lazy justice". The second of which doesnt make a ton of sense fo4 an admiral initially, but i think it embodies his willingness to experiment as Morj said, and ultimatly his time with the BB crew is another experiment. Like he said to Smoker, there are some things you cant learn until you leave the marines

[@Akranejames]

I think that part of Aokiji's point right now in the story is that he is still mistaken in his path, for he has chosen the fall of the World Government as his objective but backed the wrong horse and will most likely flip to the Strawhat Alliance, Revolutionary Army, or whatever SWORD becomes by the end of the story to accomplish this goal along those that will truly bring the dawn.

[@RagnarDracobrother]

I also love the juxtaposition in marine ford not only because it showcases how similar and thinking the "good" Akainu is with the "Evil" Blackbeard, but that it shows how Akainu views every "transgression" as equal when in actually the pirates he is going after will likely be committing no real crimes and at the same time the one Pirate that will be causing the most and greatest problems is behind him doing what he does while akainu is blissfully unaware. Showing that Akainu like a "Mad Dog" isnt thinking about the actual justice and what would bring the most good (which would be solely going after blackbeard rn). Akainu only focuses on and eliminates evil or so called "evil" when he should also be reinforcing the good like actual marines. Which works great symbolism in with his devil fruit. He only "takes away"(most destructive power) but never gives bac. He even could use his ability to create new islands and do other non-destructive thing but he only focus on the destructive/combative ability of it and chases everything he views as wrong and kills it without remorse. I cant wait to see akainu's backstory

Great video Morj! Just wanted to add that Kuzan very likely intentionally lost to Garp. IMO the whole scene is a parallel to Garp “losing” to Luffy during Marineford. A fake fall in battle because their morals don’t allow them to fight. Kuzan pointing out his former status as Garp’s apprentice is a hint towards this.

[@VINSMOKEProductions]

Aokiji is such an interesting character. I can't wait to find out what his true goal is.

[@Purple.mind...Honored.one.]

I wish they made more like him.

[@mokaljordan]

Excellent character analysis morj, perhaps kuzans true goal is that he wants someone to find the one piece to end the great pirate era so that the marines can be a force for justice again and to also know the root of the marines corruption and he wont get that serving under akainus admin, kuzan sees Blackbeard as the man to pull that off and is using him, it would make sense as to why kuzan didnt turn to dragon to try and change the marines, as dragon doesnt care about the one piece and ending this current era of pirates

[@alfianherdifeisal604]

People tends to forgot that Blackbeard is also really interested with world history and even Oda stated that he being archeologist if he is not a pirates, and we all know that Ohara-which Aokiji involve to destroy it-also a land of archeologist. So we can say that they share common interest.

[@LunaEC64]

Kuzan feels like he has taken a path similar to Zephyr's (even if he is a Movie character) A marine who broke away from the Government after a tragic incident which shifted their view on the Marines & World Government to become someone who is free to decide his own justice and will face off against his former allies. In a way Movie Z is a strong tease into Kuzan's way of thinking and potentially foreshadowing something like his own death.

[@firstsonofthesea7938]

I think he really wants to know who the Straw Hats are and he knows they can reach the One Piece he was introduced in Long Ring Long Land and was following them even after he left his Admiral position he wants to know if the One piece is real and why he had to burn down Ohara for it

I believe the only thing aokiji wants in the end is fair justice but he feels like he doesn't have the strength and or power to truly change the Marines (since their controlled by the world government) so he's set out on a mission one that can only end in disaster but it's his only choice, because the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so he joins the most notorious pirate group that will definitely try to over throw the government and or marines because they have a really good chance at doing so, I know black beard pirates haven't been hyped up that much but this is more then likely gonna be the last pirate group the straw hats battle before finding the one piece so they are definitely powerhouses in their own right which would give kuzan a good chance at combating the world government

I think Kuzan may find himself in too deep with BB. Whatever agenda or goal he may have in mind will at some point be dwarfed by what BB is doing and Kuzan’s contributions will be a big part of how he got there. Another reason why I think things won’t go the way he plans is because of Koby. Koby IS the future of the marines. He’s been around pirates and the worst of the marines, but he’s still working from within and didn’t give up like Kuzan kind of did. I feel like the way Koby is going about it is more in line with how Luffy might approach things, which has been shown to be the right way.

[@theone1535]

I think he will become a revolutionary

[@hakonsgaming535]

I think Aokiji's plan is actually fairly simple, he wants to destroy the world government and he doesn't think that Luffy alone is going to do it. He likely learned while in the marines that sometimes you do have to commit minor wrongs to facilitate greater rights, even O'Hara he probably didn't fully disagree with, he likely knows well that sometimes ostensibly peaceful motivations can create the conditions for violence and destruction, and that conversely violence and destruction can preserve wider peace. The blackbeard crew then may be a pretty good tool to weaken the marines and the world government to the point that they can be destroyed, and even if a lot of good people have to die and a lot of violence has to be done on the other side of that is a better freer world that will only come once the current one is destroyed.

[@prabhatdeshmukh9592]

One thing to be said, Aokiji is not getting defeated by Garp that’s for sure and even Garp in his prime would have to put up a big fight against that man. Keep in mind that the new era or current era surpasses the old Aokiji was clearly portrait to be the strongest marine next to Akainu, what type of story telling would make the previous strongest marines (Garp and Sengoku) be stronger in there old version than the current strongest marines? It would literally be a joke this man went 10 days with Akainu and is not to be slept on. Aokiji will either defeat Garp or someone will interfere but he will definitely not be taken out by Garp that’s IMPOSSIBLE and would literally ruin the whole story of the old and new era. Aokiji will be severely stronger than Garp mark my words

[@aliveghost368]

+ Kuzan is almost equal to akainu They fought for 10 days This is the longest time of duration two fighters fought.(we've heard of till now..) The gap between them should be 1/10th of radius of a needle...

@@aliveghost368 and both you guys are missing the fact that Aokiji and Akainu have no CoC / Haki feats , op fruits ain’t nothing compared to a hakiman

@@aliveghost368 I hope you guys knows styles and DF power matters Enel would still be chilling if it wasnt for Luffy perfect counter to his powers and this is fact for both fiction and IRL if A person defeats B person and B person defeat C person that doesnt mean A person will defeat C person lol or am i wrong? also stop with power scaling i promise its not that deep.

2:56 that's not Garp. Silly Billy

[@Orto-jj2di]

Hmm its possible he wants to use symbol of absolute anarchy in blackbeard to defeat the symbol of absolute authority in akainu and world government. Then again he saw that blackbeard wants to tear it all down so maybe im missing something for now...

[@endlessnoodle3056]

Kuzan joining BB is just his an Akainu's 4D chess plan to simultaneously fuck over pirates and celestial dragons by going undercover into each side. Their fight (in which they went all-out to avoid all suspicion) was a misdirection, similar to how Nami bullied the shit out of wounded Zoro in Arlong Park. Sword division was explained in the same chapter when we've been shown Kuzan joining Blackbeard, which is not a coincidence and it's obvious he's a part of it. Sword division is pretty much a rebel faction that puts needs of Marines above World Government. On a cover where Akainu is playing with bonsai tree, we see a tattoo on his right shoulder. It's a sword tattoo. And also it's obvious that he's pretty much boiling any time he has to deal with Gorosei. Akainu's actual loyalty to real bros is also quite on the nose. You know the cup-exchange tradition that's so important in One Piece? Sabo, Ace and Luffy became "brothers" this way, Jimbei and Mugiwara fleet pledged allegiance to Luffy this way, so in One Piece it's obviously a tradition that we associate with good guys. It also exists in real world. You know how it's called? Sakazuki.

I forget that Zoro owes Coby SOMETHING for the attempt to untie him. At the very least I hope Zoro respects him. And for a man of Coby's stature, having respect from Zoro is huge.

[@koldraiynedownskayle5744]

Zoro already gave his respect. At Water 7, he asked Luffy if he made "another great enemy." The narrator called Luffy getting Koby into the marines "A great mistake."

[@tornikelomidze6170]

Interesting fact, i remeber how Kuzan attacked Luffy in Marinford battle ahead Akainu. Not letting him die easy by Akainu's hand, it's looked like buy time for him. even Akainu had doubt about that moment, but can't find it in Manga 566* (werid, it's look like cutted), it's only in Series 475*. Somthing wrong with Kuzan situation.

[@MrHakis]

I think that Aokiji wants to reform the world government. It would be cool if him and Robin teamed up during the final fight.
