How Skypiea Foreshadows How One Piece Will End

[@TheLibraryofOhara]

*Watch episode 3 earlier on Patreon!* www.patreon.com/thelibraryofohara This is episode 2/8 of my Mega-Theory, the True History! Much like Ep 1, this episode is about setting up the base concepts for the rest of the theory. It may feel like some of these may be redundant within the context of this video, but trust me, they are going to be very important down the line, so I hope you can keep watching!

[@theifzelnite1087]

Thank you for your hard work!

[@Edalontzia]

There's is gonna be 8 videos?! :O

[@PauloViniciuspacheco]

This is incredibly well made! Jesus!!!

[@harshgarg7542]

can anyone tell me where oda said that skypieans were hominids , I think whole thesis is based on this argument, but I didn't find it anywhere.Becoz any argument that evolution of one piece world follows as that o our world might not be always right becoz our world diverges significantly .Ex mink

[@christackerMD]

You are legendary. Thank you so much!

[@thelightseeker94]

In n Interview Oda said his favorite page he drew in the manga was the campfire dance on skypiea and now it makes sense.

[@MugiwaranoTonyDStark]

3rd favorite** And yes.

[@logui113]

He said that in general he loved drawing parties right? love the pfp btw

[@itsblitz4437]

Yeah thats going to be very important down the line.

[@mistersharpe4375]

I believe he also said that he's always had the last panel in the series planned and he can't wait to draw it. Wonder what that could be...

[@KaleEb449]

​@@mistersharpe4375 The final chapter of an arc in my mind was always something dedicated to a massive party. I really hope after the final arc finishes and we learn everything about the story, we get one final chapter with the biggest party we've ever seen. We get one page for every Straw Hat, sort of like Oda does, their title "Pirate King," "Strongest Swordsman,"...etc, their journey, and how funny and stupid they look while partying. Then at the end of that chapter, we get one last page sort of like a massive version of Volume 1 or Volume 61 where Luffy is jumping and the Straw Hats are around him and he's yelling "Let's set sail!"

[@tom594]

This is probably the biggest One Piece theory ever. Even if this doesn't become true, this mega theory will go down as the biggest OP theory in history. That makes Arthur the Whitebeard of theories

[@luism.6766]

Artur is so clean with his work that i dont even care if his theory is right or wrong, really looking forward to this entire masterpiece

Wow, every video of this series is beautifully made. I feel like crying everytime. Also, as an Indian, I never noticed that Shandora sounded like Chandra. You learn something new everyday. Even if it turns out to be wrong, still seeing this theory is an experience that I will cherish. Things like these make me happy that I caught upto One Piece before it ended.

[@kelliecanscan3364]

Watching episode 1 made me feel like I was watching spoilers bc it made so much sense. Idk if I wanna watch anymore bc I feel like luffy, I just want it to be a mystery till it's revealed but I also am so interested

[@Rirawl1]

The thing is... we probably know what the One piece is... but is concealed within the story. In the end, that could have a scene "Oh, of course, that is One Piece".

[@MrEtronic]

You could admire the execution of oda ... But arthur spent 5 years i think the care which he uses each and every word also demands respect.

[@TheHothead101]

Honestly when I started the series I thought the same thing. "I'm practically spoiling the series for myself now. Luffy said he would give up on searching for the One Piece if he heard what it was, and yet I'm letting someone tell me about it."

[@wacom8199]

I felt the same way!

[@japler8242]

Same thing here. I might stop watching this, I feel I'm spoiling myself hahaha this is wayyyyy well done and worked out!

[@unknownvariable9239]

F to all the people who skipped Skypiea. Any One Piece fans who read the manga will tell you it’s one of the most important arcs in the series

[@KPD_KPD]

The english community has this weird hobby of not reading the manga and judge something based on the animation quality. This is why nobody talks about One Piece few years ago and then suddenly it's everywhere because the animation got better.

[@mostacho8251]

such a cliche comment lmao, the lesson is already learned. I think is not about how important it was, that is not a nice justification of why skypea its fkinh amazing; instead, if you love one piece you just cant no love skypea, otherwise you are searching certain stuff in the wrong manga. in my opinion

[@jeremiahbennett3004]

It's actually crazy how much lore oda put in the cover stories that it's kinda sad the anime didn't adapt them all, meaning the anime watchers miss out some great world building

[@Crybaby-Media]

Even the numbers of chapters have relevance to the story and play a role in the grand puzzle. Oda is truly a genius

[@kafukwamekemeh]

Which parts were not adapted?

[@hinorichan172]

​@@kafukwamekemeheach manga chapter starts with a 1-page cover art that shows what is happening to other parts of the world i.e. lets say in one of the cover arts in the punk hazard volume, they show Bon Clay being the new queen of Impel Down 5.5. other cover arts show also that there's a theme park in Skypiea because of Usopp's introduction of rubber, something like that.

[@Max300029]

I LOVE how Lose Yourself by Eminem starts playing in the background when Eneru is mentioned hahahahaha

[@vidokou]

22:46 I know It's the meme, but the music just fits Enel so well, and you mixed it in so perfectly that it made me laugh while still feeling ominous.

[@AndElite]

That part of the video got me excited lol

[@shrilekhkapse203]

This theory's take on Luffy' dream is the most interesting perspective by far and fits surprisingly perfectly with luffy's character .

[@Sebster85]

The end of Arlong Park is also a microcom of the world Laughing after the dawn. Symbolically, Luffy placing his hat on Nami's head looked like the sun rising. And Nami's bright smile at the end was like the sun finally shining. It's no coincidence that during those flashbacks we saw Nami working at her desk with the moon in the background. Her losing her smile symbolized the long night. In Skypea Enel's final attack literally blocked the sun before Luffy cleared the sky, bringing the sunlight back. And then there's the interesting juxtaposition between Enel, God who wished to rule the endless earth, and Luffy, King of the majestic oceans below. Skypiea is so jam packed with symbolism.

[@dwightalexander2648]

This theory video dethrowned all the other theory videos i've seen. Keep up with the great contents man

This was an experience So well crafted from start to end No unnecessary tangents and no weird points that made 0 sense that took away from the main points like some other mega theory videos Waiting for next week will be hard

[@malliuk2745]

This is a theory the thing you referring to is an inference. People often confuse em together. Theories are ideas supported by proofs, inferences are ideas supported by immagination. ( Also I appreciate when the guy on video doesn't look high on cocaine)

Nope Will ohara pretend its mindblowing information and use it to prove some other points but actually make those other points seem less convincing? Yes

[@Bhinks98]

Skypeia was my introduction to One Piece and what made me fall in love with it. I can never comprehend why people always pooped on it and like you said even suggest skipping it. Also, loving this mega theory so far!

[@PauloACSilva]

Even If the theories dont hold up this is an wholesome and much needed exploration on the themes of the series. People often forgot how heavily politic op is, and is amazing how oda manages to do in such a nuanced and clever way

[@logui113]

I like a lot the fact that the theory itself is very coherent with the main "hidden" themes of One Piece

[@RoccoGuyBoiThing]

Another thing about the sky folks wings, if they were larger, then the low gravity of the moon would make them atrophy and shrink over generations.

[@seaset_]

That's not how evolution works ^^'

[@diefty94]

There is a heart warming short video that really captures this theme. It shows fans of the Senegal and Japan national teams singing "We Are" together after a FIFA World Cup game. Two groups of people from different races who don't even speak the same language come together in song to celebrate something that brings them joy.

Great video. I love, that your theory doesn't really on big twists or changing the tune of the series. Instead just using the themes, imagery and ideas, which were already displayed in the story. Oda has been a consistent writer so far, so we should trust in him keeping his maximum opus on track.

[@joshuadworschak8914]

I always thought that skypiea was one of the most important arcs even in my first read and watch of the series. so many of my friends skipped it and I always told them that we needed to watch it together but they only started believing me when zouneisha and the minks came around. I always loved the idea of luffy bringing down a selfproclaimed god (Imu-Sama) to unite the world and all it's inhabitants with a massive party where all could laugh together

[@Lykon]

can't wait for LUNArians to be explained in the manga.

[@mohammadnasrun1178]

Honestly its one of my favourite arc in the series. It check lots of boxes on what i love in an anime. From the epic entrance to the sky island via knock up stream to the epic fight boss fight in the end that ends with the iconic bell ringing. Thinking back, that bell ringing may be the first scene in one piece that make me cry a manly tear. Dont know why, the tear just kinda flow. And i might be wrong but skypiea might be the first truly adventure arc in one piece. Before it just they going somewhere to save someone, or to find someone.

[@GallaArnau]

Holy shit the ending made me cry so much

[@Ryokaiboi]

Why

[@davidfm298]

I like the this theory alot. Luffy is basically on a journey to invite people to the biggest cookout and the onepiece is probably just plastic plates and cutlery so everyone can break bread without having to worry about doing the dishes.

[@warren-gump]

Also, people who say you should skip Skypiea need to have their head checked. Because I think it's the same group of people who think right is left and up is down.

[@GuysCupank]

I could already guess what you want to explain in the video, and what the key at the end. But my mind is blowing yet once again after realizing that Marine only consisted by human, that the 3 sky races already drawn on the cover story, that Lunarians don't want to leave their birth place, and that Grand Line is made to protect some of islands the other races hide themself (4 blue seas only consisted of human).

I was getting emotional at the section that talked about how if the skyfolk had just shared the vearth, no war would have ever had to happen. Is that how it is in the real world, too? If we could all just dance and laugh together… we’d never feel like we were in danger. This world needs a Luffy.

[@rashmiranjansahu8271]

When you pointed out that all the marines across the entirety of one piece are all humans (except giants of course which is a special case due to Mother Carmel), i was baffled. It's such a dire aspect of racism hiding in plain sight.

About different species of humanoids in one piece, it is like Darwin finding Galapagos Islands. Same species, which are living on different islands, come with different attributes like bird's beaks.

[@Joshua-nm8we]

I had a theory just after the chapter released where Roger found the one piece and roger laughed, it might get lost in these comments but so far its fitting with your theories very well. The One Piece is, a bottle of sake... written on the label is "Bink's Sake". a classic song that everyone knows but where did it start? what if Joyboys treasure is a bottle of Bink's Sake that was all he had left after sharing sake with loads of people. If anyone reads this let me know what you think :).

[@KingMinish]

I think it's a Sake cup big enough for a giant, it's a set up for a sakazuki exchange of sake cups. It's a Sake cup so big that metaphorically the whole world can drink from it and become brothers, like Luffy and Ace and Sabo coming together from their different backgrounds. Sake cups also come in sets, like a three piece, or a four piece sake cup set- so the biggest sake cup ever, that every one would drink from to become brothers- would be a One Piece set.

[@tercial]

I think Joy boy's name is Bink

[@juannunez4436]

Omg i legit feel spoiled with this, most theories i watched even good ones are just connecting dots in an smart way but for not strong reasons, you here are clearly saying what happened and what not, you definitely went an step forward to most content.
