I never agreed with the theory but honestly I kinda agree about the stakes not being enough. And just to be clear, stakes is not just "What could be lost" but also the perceived sensation of the possibility of it going that direction. Like, maybe the idea of the raid failing was funny to me, but the dude had a point when saying the protagonist forces literally never behaved as if they could actually lose, as if they knew they were in a story.

[@Mirekluk]

The fixation on family is precisely because the focus is on found family. Because to many people, the idea of blood family not mattering is just plain out weird. So although they are fine with those not being big part of the story, they at least want to know!

[@7thlittleleopard7]

Nah, I think a large part of it is both the desire to know what went wrong to push them into finding their own families and also a genuine curiosity about the parents we DO know and who would even date them, let along have a kid with 'em. Like, can you IMAGINE what the woman who hooked up with Dragon would be like? I can't. That's why I want to know about her - because she must be some kind of badass and hey, I wanna know about another badass lady!

[@Coolio_Ash]

People thought wano would be a 5 act structure rather than a 3 act structure, in which tragedy is in the 3rd act, success in the 4th act, and a swift conclusion. I think it was called "Jou Ha Kyuu"? Something like that. That was basically the only thing even suggesting the raid would fail.

[@Yal_Rathol]

the 5-act-structure is a kabuki thing. kabuki plays historically would have 5 acts instead of 3 like a western play would. wano is heavily based on a kabuki play, with a bunch of kabuki references like ninja squads or the island of ogres, onigashima. so, if you're looking at it from that angle, wano having 5 acts makes sense. functionally, we could split wano into 5 acts. act 1, act 2, oden flashback, raid, joyboy's awakening, because the thing that "the raid will fail" theorists failed to account for is that the 5 act structure and the 3 act structure are identical, they just have lines drawn in different spots to make a different number of acts.

[@bigbangpegasusmaster]

tbh it's weird how we had 3 acts and the 3rd act was like twice as long as the first 2 combined. I still wish we could've had act breaks after Luffy got to the rooftop and after Kaido went down

[@pakimonsas]

Yeah, Act 3 could be divided in 3, and the raid did fail when Luffy "died", but that was necessary for Joyboy's Awakening and then he could beat Kaido.

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

If you'll notice, kabuki's 5 act structure can be pretty easily plastered over with a 3 act structure without any of the content or pacing changing at all. It's a way to describe things.

The theme of Found Family is SO prevalent, the reveals of biological parentage is usually met with either outright rejection by the child or otherwise completely irrelevant. Ace refuses to acknowledge Roger, Sanji justifiably LOATHS Judge, Luffy may or may not have ever had a single conversation with Dragon, Ussop kinda sorta looks up to his dad's accomplishments (?) but the guy himself is secondary to his own dream, Nami's are (probably) dead, Chopper's are deer, and Franky, Brooks, Jimbei's aren't even brought up in even a passing mention of any sort. There are precisely 3 times (that I can think of at the moment **EDIT** Thanks commenters! A couple that I forgot: Rebecca/Kyros along with Neptune+Otohime and their children, so that brings us up to 5 examples) a POSITIVE biological parent/child relationship is relevant to the story: Robin, Vivi, and Momonosuke/Hiyori. Robin's love for her mother, egged on by her mother's inability to keep a poker face, leads to Robin's damning admission that she can read poneglyphs resulting in her life-long manhunt. Meanwhile, King Cobra's influence develops Vivi into a respectable monarch and results in her directly taking on the task to uncover Crocodile's plot by entering the Baroque Works organization as a double agent. And in Momo+Hiyori's case, BOTH parents were massively influential in their upbringing, though short lived, and could be an entire essay on it's own but ultimately lead both to do everything in their power to bring about Oden's dream (eventually) and helping the Strawhats bring about the end of Orochi and Kaido's reign in Wano. Also, the less said about the Parent-Child relations of the villains in the series the better. Big Mom and Kaido are obviously awful parents.

Through some means we aren't aware of yet, my assumption would be Zoro's yet untouched on Curse, he manages to claw back control of his body, essentially becoming a living corpse. There's examples of other characters being able to reclaim their bodies through various means, namely Brook and Lao G and it would retroactively reinforce "Death on Wano" as well as Zoro's King of Hell title being one of the few people to climb out of Hell.

It’ll be interesting to see if the live action keeps igaram alive, they don’t seem to have the same issue as oda when it comes to killing characters off, example being Merry actually being killed by Kuro. They may have robin actually kill Igaram and Pell will definitely not survive

[@flameemperor7047]

I dont think she even attempted to kill him. If anything I believe she moved him away first then blew up the ship.

[@Spika94]

@@flameemperor7047 I choose to believe this, because it makes the most sense.

[@jonathanfrancesco3305]

I agree. Igaram being alive actually made some degree of plot sense.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

@@finnkedinn1573 Igaram will likely not be killed by Robin if only to make her sympathetic when she comes aboard, but Pell? Pell's days are numbered. Man be sweating and hoping they don't reach Alabasta. XD

9:41 This is one of the most essential oddnesses of Oda's storytelling (deliberately, pointlessly withholding info, which often is very trivial, in favour of non-stop teasing and cliffhangers), and it barely ever gets criticized. With the sole exception of "silhouettes".

Zoro fans were really getting ahead of themselves thinking he could take on a yonko by himself at his current level. When people constantly favour one character that goes against the storyline pattern it makes it more difficult to discuss the anime with them.

[@alexandercharizard3617]

To be fair it would probably have been Luffy and zoro Vs kaido (which sort of happened with the 5v2) with zoro landing the final blow. That technically has happened before with captain Morgan in chapter 6 or so, so it's still a long shot based on little to no evidence but at least feasible

[@TWGRENADE7]

Excellent video. Got me smiling in 7-11.

[@GoldenOwl_Game]

I was actually a huge fan of the Kaido-Poneglyph idea back in the day because it was just SO bizarre. Sure it had zero evidence but the idea was so weird that it would’ve fit right into One Piece

[@LagunaX1]

I'd never heard of the Zoro theory and parallel, but I did think the fact he'd got a sword, and a huge emphasis was put on the fact it was the only weapon that ever cut Kaido, might have been foreshadowing it. If they only thing they used as evidence was a parallel though, that's stupid lol

[@ELMolliez]

The most saddening theory was the new nakama after wano, we were expecting either carrot or yamato to join the crew, but neither did.

[@bencruz9888]

This is completely off topic to the latest chapters but I have a theory for the will of D, instead of it standing for one word it stands for 4 words because the moon has 8 different stages ,and since D is half of a circle it stands for half of the moon, and every character that has the will of D has been showed to die for the people they love such as Luffy, Roger, and Law and the four words are “would die for others” (if you see this please put this in a video and keep up the great work!)

[@rodrigossgardelis7384]

I remember during the early days of one piece a lot of people were sold into the idea that Logia fruits were vastly superior than the other 2 types. I mean that was the information we had at the time but there were some very strong characters without a fruit let alone a logia fruit and some people actually believed that these guys would run away from someone like Smoker because they can’t get a solid hit on him.

[@BobThePenguin.]

Raid failing made Wano more fun at the time. Gave it an uncertainty the story itself didn’t have

[@badatit576]

Ok but seastone sandles would have actually been sick

[@ThatsMildlyAdequate]

I feel like the attachment to the idea of the raid failing even as the beast pirates kept being defeated was desperately wanting some sort of tension in the final battle. Luffy not returning so suddenly before gear 5 would've worked fine imo if Kaido had gone on to cause some havoc before Joyboy showed up. Then everyone would've been happy, there was the tension the raid failing people wanted, and we wouldn't have to wait another year for an entire second raid. It's just that people associated tension with=the raid failing, so they kept saying the raid will fail even up to the last minute

[@B_Machine]

The raid didn't have to fail, but I wanted Kaido and Big Mom to show clear awakenings. Perhaps some of the beast pirates too. The K/BM alliance felt nerfed. Not to mention nearly the whole BM fleet got blocked at the door (albeit in a funny fashion).

Sentomaru proved to us you don't need sea stone to hurt devil fruit users. He hurt luffy even though he is rubber with a physical attack. This showed us that he did something special outside of sea stone. So we know have a small hint during that scene. So we can assume with the hint drop scenes before. That when reyleigh did that it was not sea stone.

[@shayoko6]

one of the worst theories for me was that sabo was dead. even though we know dragon was there we saw dragon save him and we got a cover page with luffy ace and sabo as adults and even without all that, there was still 0% chance sabo actually died because the timing for his introduction. not only was it after aces death. but it was in a flashback. that happened 10 years? prior to the war. which means i am suppose to believe when luffys already in despair...i'm learning about another character for the first time who has been dead for a decade? that would be incredibly poor writng....an embarrassment to anyone who takes story telling seriously. there was never any chance sabo was dead, and so many people believed it. truly was baffling.
