Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

I've long thought that BB will be the last opponent Luffy will face, both characters have equal journies, are the same yet opposite. Not to mention the history with Ace. But, whenever BB comes, I'll be happy. He's been such an enigma throughout the whole story so far. Very awesome character!

Hes not a human hes purgatory incarnate and literally absorbed whitebeards soul on marineford. Purgatory doesn't sleep!, his 10 commander are the 10 damned captains, the symbology of 3 comes from the original tale of JONAS from the old testament, where he was cursed by god to spend 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of a fish.

The thing about Blackbeard as a 12-year-old having been fed information about his fate and what he's supposed to do reminds me of Orochi and the old Kurozumi crones who guided him to power behind the scenes. If it weren't for her Orochi would never have stood a chance of becoming Shogun. She is also directly responsible for Kaido showing up on Wano and partnering with Orochi.

[@raijin_kami6016]

[@naganut9718]

One thing that I found tragic is that Blackbeard's betrayal is completely unecessary. If he just asks Thatch to give him the Devil Fruit and explain how it's his goal to find it, chances are Thatch would just give it to him no problem. I highly doubt Thatch would just lock a veteran crew member out of his dream

[@kristophesiem5336]

Well, the rules of the Whitebeard pirates stated that the one who finds the fruit gets to eat it. Blackbeard would have left the crew either way, as he was just staying with Whitebeard to lay in the shadows

[@naganut9718]

@@kristophesiem5336 not really. The rule is whoever gets the fruit can do whatever with it, not necessarily eat it. I could see Thatch giving the fruit to Blackbeard, it's a dream from a comrade who's been there for years

[@Patriot009]

It's possible he did ask Thatch, and Thatch refused, hence the murdering. He did offer Ace a spot on his crew before they eventually fought.

[@mrbubbles6468]

Blackbeard says he was chosen by the Fruit. And we know Blackbeard has a method for stealing them. It’s likely he did ask, got told no and the Fruit got eaten and this was all part of the test. Are you willing to kill a friend and defile their body, it’s the only way you’ll get the power.

The sleep thing was first mentioned by Luffy during the Drum Island arc. He called it an illness, and apparently it occurs in people on Winter Islands. And there's proof that Blackbeard came from a winter island, like how his nose is running in that one sketch, or how Blackbeard was first mentioned in an arc based on a Winter Island

[@Pickn4Gold]

Which is funny because didn't Oda say Blackbeard would be from Somalia, definitely not a winter country? Not knocking you, I like what you wrote, just made me think of origins from Oda.

Does blackbeard actually think he's invincible though? How he maneuvers and schemes would point to the opposite. He outright avoids confrontation and dangerous situations unless absolutely necessary and he feels he has the advantage, while Luffy charges into every situation without rarely having a plan of action and with no fear.

[@fjdididiididid1238]

He doesn’t think he’s invincible, he thinks he’s infallible. There’s a difference. He thinks that there’s no way someone could outsmart him or beat him not only because of strength but because of strategy. He knows he can be beaten physically if he messes up, he’s just so arrogant that he thinks his strength and smarts makes him unbeatable, but no invincible.

[@ricardopacheco5892]

The inicial referencee to chapter 222, is a metaphor for the start of a theater play, our heroes are about to start a new adventure (jaya skypea) - (Oda uses this arc to map the entire series themes), 3 seaguls fly over the Merry, Augur shoots them (the 3 seaguls hitting the deck are the start of every theater play (3 strokes on the stage), and therefore Augur talks about fate, with is scripted on act, by the acators of a play. There is alot more culture in Oda than meets the eye.

[@ricardopacheco5892]

Also Teach is not crying under the moon, that is not a moon its an iris, an eye (the eye of the fish that ate Jonas for 3 days and 3 nights), The reason its an eye is that iff the shadow of the moon before reaching the mid point in the circle has the arc in the oposite direction, look at the stages of the moon.....

[@YeprilesteR]

​@@ricardopacheco5892Interesting

[@ricardopacheco5892]

That is because Blackbeard seems to be Davy Jones locker itself. (Jonas - Yonas - Yona = 22(4760)0 bounty - YO(4) NA(7) ROKU (6) REI (0), flip number 6 90º and suddenly Rocks becomes NO, YO NA NO REI (the spirit of jonas (YONA)), hes cursed because of the original sin of jonas was to defy gods command and do the oposite, so god condemn him to be swallowed by a fish for 3 days and 3 nights. (davy jones locker is the purgatory of the sea, because on the bottom of the sea no light reaches, so the souls of drowned sailor get trapped there. All of this is Dusk Dawn Theory witch is on point, and i add, that in God valley Rocks (ROKU) was condemned to davy jones locker by the celestial dragons garp and roger, his haki was so strong he woke up purgatory itself davy jones. Since purgatory is not a human entity, he never experienced feeling, so that is why his taste is so bad, why he doesn't block attacks because its the first time it feels pain, etc.. The 3 spirits that the purgatory is chasing are the divine trinity, the father the sun and the holy spirit.. His awakening is due to rocks haki, so hes tha father, the second soul his the holy spirit he was so holy he let him join his crew (whitebeard) that is what he did in marineford, the Davy jones locker absorbed whitebeards soul, and the third hes after he almost got it, shanks (the sun) (a baby at the time so THE SUN!) who seems to be the holder of the strongest haki, heir to Rocks haki. His 10 commander are the 10 damned captains!!, and by the end of the story i firmly believe our sun god MUST reach inside Davy jones locker and save the souls of Shanks whitebeard and Rocks from an eternity in the purgatory.

[@tyriquesmith8850]

Nah, Buggy has been foreshadowed the whole time to be the next Pirate King.

[@sebp9882]

Might be a bit obscure but there was a manga (and anime) called Basilisk where one of the main antagonists Tenzen had something like a demonic twin that he absorbed in utero, which gave him regeneration powers. I wonder if Blackbeard has something similar where he absorbed (much like a black hole, although obviously he didn't have his fruit at the time) his two twin sisters in the womb, so their souls are still with him and they give him the ability to eat multiple devil fruits, but their physical body is absorbed by Blackbeard.

Those are also true, but fate is the big connecting trait with the whole crew

[@tobiaswedin]

I doubt that Jaya Burgess were strong enough to beat Luffy. Maybe Zoro, just maybe. But not Luffy. Also, I think there might be some level of importance that the moon child Blackbeard sat crying underneath were a crescent moon. Full moons only seem to follow Luffy's highlights. We can also not forget that Roger actually explained the will of D to Whitebeard who made a note of Teach having this initial. So Whitebeard can have shot himself in the foot by making the then young Blackbeard believe he is of great importance through passing this info on to him. No one has said Blackbeard's plan started at 12, it could have been later on. When he asked to join the Whitebeard ship it was out of desperation and loneliness, it didn't seem like he was scheming at that point.

[@saeyal]

In terms of sleep, Blackbeard (and the Macbeth reference) the Sword of Damocles could be a worthwhile legend to note. Having all eyes on you puts a target on you. A common motif (or theme) in one piece. Prehaps Imu stays hidden and the Gorosei keep mostly away from public eye, as to not draw ire... Maybe Morgans is the most dangerous chatacter after all

[@TheWarmachine375]

Blackbeard wants the world as Van Augur told Jaygarcia Saturn, huh? That means he would want to take the Empty Throne and become King of the World, succeeding where Rocks D. Xebec failed to do.

[@Gnidel]

It would be a great way to consolidate World Government and Blackbeard into a single final boss.

[@julesm5892]

yes, for me he doesn't want want to be pirate king, or at least that's not his end goal, what he wants is to replace the world government ( or bring it down and let chaos ensues, depends on how you look at it)

[@Pickn4Gold]

​​@@Gnidel though I get the historical reasons to have Imu as the final villian, it makes more sense to be Blackbeard vs Luffy after Imu falls from power. Also if Blackbeard can eat another fruit I think it's Imus fruit he is after, which sets up even more as Luffy(Joyboy) versus Blackbeard(the new Imu). Not sure we are quite there yet. Last time we saw Leffitte was when they recruited Kuzan, and they asked him about the Man Marked by Flames. Who is one person who could access the location information on that person, if like Shiryu said they do work for the WG? Well Catarina can now become Saturn right?

And they always wished sailors good winds and gods would sometimes help/hurt them w winds.

One of the things that I'm really looking forward to, is the explanation about why teach didn't just ask for the fruit. It's a crew of family and brothers. I would almost love it if he's confronted with that question and just conveys that he never even thought to ask for it because he most likely would have just been given the fruit if he had said how important it was to him.

[@dandog1418]

If those who aren’t born from a woman can defeat Blackbeard then that means it will be the Seraphim that beat him. Change my mind

[@palkinator]

Maybe Imu set young Teach on his path, seeing him as a dark figure that the people would rally against, insuring continued power for the Marines and the WG?

[@mrbubbles6468]

Bet it’s going to be revealed that Imu has been playing his part as the monster to make the fated return of Joy Boy happen.

Imu seems to hate Blackbeard though, as that scene in Reverie where they're looking over wanted posters for important characters, isn't Teech's poster ripped up, unlike the others?

[@nightstar4041]

Also, it seems like Blackbeard also technically "killed" Garp (we don't know if he is dead but based on this theory, I think it would fit to assume). Even though Kuzan technically did it, it's still Blackbeard's crew.

Another theory is that blackbeard will first defeat luffy and steal his fruit but since the fruit has its own will, blackbeard will get defeated by luffy and before luffy defeats him he will find one piece. since we know that DF users near laughtail gets sick or unable to land on it, balckbeard wont be able to claim it. And at laughtail. luffy will realize that the true power of one's will lie in their haki and not in their devil fruit.

Lol one piece 101. You die when Oda says you can die!!!

[@demonsorrows]

My theory for a while: To stay awake in Blackbeard's snowy country of origin, they evolved the trait to let the left and right side of the brain sleep independently while the other stays awake. Like dolphins do so they don't drown. People in snowy countries could be buried alive and die if they sleep. His 3-faced Jolly Roger is a representation of the three states of mind/brain: Left-side awake, Right-side awake, and Fully awake. Personality jumps around because of the different functions either side of the brain does more than the other. And a theory of why he can use more than one devil fruit. His large body is due to a genetic defect or his people/tribe/whatever from their snowy country. A defect or an evolved trait, developing multiple organs as a failsafe for the harsh environment. It allows him to use two DF with two organs that kind of store the genetic alteration data, with devil fruits just being an extremely advanced organic program. (I say the appendix with it being vestigial in real life. It'd be a neat "What if?" by Oda if that was the case.) Just for fun theory thinkingness.

​@@sauravagnihotri8156 true and this is common with one piece. Hody vs luffy is a prime example of this. This is also leads to inconsistencies and potential plot holes in the story.

[@nmr7203]

You'd think the animators would use thier creavity to try to make the power scaling make sense.

[@Tyler-gg6xt]

I don't think the devil fruit actually chose him... it chose the man he killed for it.

[@bryndanfrazier5558]

It's the darkness fruit. I truly believe it chose Blackbeard and just wanted BB to prove he'd do anything for the power.

[@fredericklawton548]

If that's the case then the nika fruit really did pick shanks not luffy

[@anglosaxiphone8246]

Devil Fruits have a minor inspiration from Berserk. The Behelits choose their Masters and often use others to transport them. If you find one it may not be fated to be yours, you might be fated to be a transport. Shanks, Thatch, and anyone who possessed one but never had a chance to eat it are not the ones fated to eat the fruit.

I like the chapter where Blackbeard said "It's Blackbeard'in time!" And Blackbeared all over Whitebeard, in which Whitebeard replied "It's Whitebeard'in time!" And Whitebearded all over the place.

[@ArtemyMusha]

The translation interpreted that chapter a bit differently, it said something about getting much higher.

[@bruhbruh9895]

@@ArtemyMusha Oh? I for sure know that Whitebeard also proclaimed "THE ONE MOOOORB! THE ONE MORB IS REAAALLL!"

[@audiandc2295]

They introduced so much group of characters in the recent chapters like the holy knights and possibly shank's dad that looks like a moon.

[@D00MTR33]

Luffy and Blackbea4d are the 2 luckiest people. Buggy, "oh really? Buggy D. Clown would beg to differ."

[@LaffyTaffy04]

It's been a long standing rumor that Shakespeare was actually multiple writers under a single name, so that fits Blackbeard well. Also, I think that Blackbeard was told that killing a great pirate's inheritor would grant him what he desires. It's why he killed Thatch, Whitebeard's "Son", Ace's, Gol D. Roger's Son, and will kill Shanks, who is kind of a son of The Pirate King Also that line about being beaten by someone not woman born...once again the CrocoMom theory shows its ugly head.

[@MegaDragonmark]

well if there was a prophecy spoken. then chances are it is something vague like involving the sun and maybe him sleeping.

[@MegaEricPham]

Fate believes in poligamy and monogamy at the same time.

[@drizzet11]

As an expert in prophetic word games "Teach my son you can be killed by no man below the sun" is just perfect for that kind of 100% true but very misleading statement since Luffy is not "below the sun" but is instead "the embodiment of the sun" which is JUST enough wordplay to fit.

[@drizzet11]

As a sorta secondary thing that i just thought of watching this what if the "three witches" are his devil fruit, I know it sounds odd but hear me out, the "devil" in One Piece is always symbolized by 3 skulls just look at the "satanic" stuff where brook got sent for the time skip. now what if just like the Nika fruit his darkness fruit is hiding itself and is a Zoan the "Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Umi" the embodiment of the sea devil. his fruit being the power of the deep sea would explain some of its oddities like the fact that it seems to be made to perfectly counter devil fruits, or that when he uses his power the "darkness" seems to act as a liquid and "drips" off of him as well as rises as a mist. how does this tie into Macbeth well for that we need to look at Celtic and Gaelic mythology (which are strongly tied to the themes within Macbeth) the "three crones" in Macbeth are closely tied to Mórrígan, a fae often depicted as 3 sisters that can be young or old, her domains are darkness, war and fate, especially fates involving death and glory or those of individuals doomed to a short but eventful life who she often grants a double sided boon to. for example Macbeths whole thing with "you cant sleep so you have more time to kill your way to the top but if you ever fight a man not born of a woman they will kill you, but that totally wont happen right 😉". now that i have explained that all how does it tie into the sea devil...no idea lol. although i do think that if the 5 elders are real demons and not fruit users then maybe Umi = Imu and Imu gives off some fairly strong evil fae vibes.

[@EliteFiveJon]

I hope this video blows up. I haven't seen another theory like this. The parallels of Macbeth and Blackbeard are amazing. When you eventually get to ranking Blackbeard on your villains series, there will be so much to talk about. (potentially S+)

[@Rubberman202]

0:32 - "In chapter 223, Luffy, Zoro and Nami meet and *old* man named Doc Q" At that point, Doc Q was 26 years old. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether or not that's "old".

[@anthonyukrainskiy2028]

That's an excellent thumbnail! 👏

[@lukejams]

for a person who doesn't sleep, he sure talks about dreams a lot

[@hyperjan]

If Blackbeard can’t sleep, can he be knocked unconscious?

[@Tr1gg3rCodm]

Valid question

[@mikebrown5877]

Yes clearly luffy is going to do it

[@someonefromsomewhere3922]

I can't imagine Blackbeard beating Shanks tbh...

[@roronoauchiha69]

Didn't Blackbeard say it was too soon when luffy being the 5th emperor news came out, which means he already knows what's gonna happen to luffy

[@RandomPerson-se8bn]

Damn that one image of luffy destroying the grandline made me think blackbeard stole whitebeards devil fruit for that very same purpose, a fruit said to be able to destroy the world and complete the prophecy.

[@allmight4554]

I think Blackbeards next fruit will actually be the mythical zoan: Baku, It’s a yokai that’s involved with sleep. once he falls asleep his dreams will come true and everyone will be in a nightmare.

[@Foyay_Red]

the vampire luffy jump cover in the back looks insane! What is that, just the magazine framed? Maybe only the cover? Or is it some sort of special print or poster???

[@Bennyv1995]

With Liam having a theater background I am surprised he was able to say Macbeth so many times without something horrible happening

[@hendrikgreiner8449]

Firstly, as a great lover of Shakespeare i love this tie-in, even if it is jut a theory. Secondly, its like with Link, Ganondorf and Zelda in Ocarina of Time: Link and Zelda thought they could prevent Ganondorf to take power in Hyrule, but all three of them ware fated. Fate does not choose sides, Fate does never choose sides.

[@chadzelda1]

The only time I can think of when Blackbeard was in a state of uncertainty was when he first fought the New Pacifista Units.

[@Ectoplasticy]

It would make sense because honestly we’ve seen the same with Kaido and Big Mom that influential figure and voice-in-their-ear characters. Blakcbeard probably had one too

[@sfulweb]

Blackbeard is asleep. The One Piece world is entirely Blackbeard's dream. The Void Century was just a time that he was awake.

[@karite2]

Totally agree with this. Either BB will get to Laugh Tale first and become king or he could be missing some piece that we have, something simple and overlooked, like a musician or something.

[@just_an_internet_explorer8038]

3:28 I wonder what took his ability to sleep from him. He’s crying a lot in the image, so it’s as though he knows what it’s like to sleep like a normal person, but now he’s just not able to, and misses sleeping

[@omnymisa]

For how dreams are related to sleep it makes Black Beard a very odd dream chaser.

[@dsullivan777]

To add onto the family tragedy portion where you mentioned Ace was killed as a precaution, I've always wondered why Garp seems to show little to no affection for Luffy, but was driven to near-homicide when Sakazuki killed Ace. Is there a world where Ace was actually Garps grandson?

[@ElderNewt]

If BB can't ever dream, then him shouting dreams never end hit different
