10 One Piece SECRETS Hidden in Plain Sight! 

The pure Odacity of that man.

I love the thought of "keep a secret by telling a outrageous truth". People will dismiss it entirely, so it remains hidden in plain sight

One of the most blatant hints with Kanjuro in hindsight is on Dressrosa. when he, Usopp, and Kin’emon are running from Dressrosa’s citizens during Doffy’s bounty game, the three of them get to safety on a tall tower. Kanjuro then draws a net, claiming it will help protect them, only for the angry mob chasing them to immediately start using the net as a ladder to reach them.

My theory: We understand Blackbeard does come from a race of people who don't sleep, because if they sleep in the snowy country they could be buried alive and die. His people evolved to be like dolphins and other species that regulate sleep by turning off one half of their brain independently to rest while the other stays active. His Jolly Roger represents his three states of awake: left side, right side, and fully awake. Each state of awakeness has certain personality traits and mental processing that show in his behavior.

The truth about the Gum Gum fruit was actually revealed all the way back in Skypiea. At one point Luffy gets eaten by the giant snake Nola and wants to see whats happening outside. He walks up to Nolas eye but she's sleeping, Luffy grabs her eyelid and opens it so he can see outside. Later, in SBS 34 (c.2004), this exchange happens: D: Odacchi, greetings! I’ve been harboring some doubts lately. In Chapter 277 of Volume 30, when Luffy is trying to escape from the giant anaconda, he opens up the snake’s eyelids, but how can he do that when he’s inside the eye? Please ask Luffy how he did that!! O: Yeah I know, that didn’t make any sense. Luffy! Come here!! Luffy: What? What’s the problem? There’s nothing wrong about this. O: Yes there is! How do you raise the eyelid from inside the eyeball? And while we’re on that subject, how can you be INSIDE the eyeball in the first place?! Luffy: It’s all right, don’t worry about it. Wasn’t it funny? O: Yeah, I guess it was! That’s the key. Luffy: Yep yep, ahahaha. O: Ahahahahaha…

It should be noted that there is MORE evidence in skypea as luffy is literally thematically portrayed as a sun god in a very on the nose way, in the climax when the inhabitants pray to God that enel is stopped, luffy yells something about clearing the sky and letting it shine and bombards it with the giant gold ball, sky is cleared and the sun shines again along with the bell being ringed all the way down to nolands descendant. He literally fulfills their prayer and makes the sun shine

In chapter 77, Nami’s mom Belemere gives Nami a shirt with a lion on it. Nami says “that lion used to be a sunflower”. The design on the shirt is the Thousand Sunny’s face.

Lately I looked at the connection between "Binks Brew" and the "drums of liberation", and I found some interesting things. Binks Brew has no drums, even though part of the Song is about them. I tried synching both up and it kinda worked. And I found out something interesting about the Rumbar Pirates. Their name is a reference to rumba style music, which focuses on drums and has the same rythm as the "drums of liberation". Also "rumba" can refer to a party with music and dancing in general, which is quite fitting.

I think Luffy’s Dream is clear as day. Him and Roger want to throw a worldwide party. The bar where Luffy and Shanks spent their time together is called Party’s Bar. Every country Luffy has liberated has ended with some kind of festivity. It’s very fitting and it’s a running theme of the show and just childish enough to be a boys dream.

You also forget that when Sanji adopted the alias of Mr. Prince he was using Mr. 3’s den den mushi and Sanji ended up being the 3rd son of germa

The idea of a Sun God was also reinforced much later, but still before Wano, in Big Mom's flashback, where we learn the Giants also worship a Sun God

The falling asleep and dying part is most likely because if you fall asleep out in a blizzard or snow filled region without shelter, you'd die from the elements. The not sleeping part alone though, could be something Oda used later for the reference. You know, since Oda did admit there were many parts where he created stories/context as we went on with the series. At the end of the day I just want the man to get some rest for a bit. We can wait...

Biggest foreshadowing isn’t even mentioned in this video, some might not pick up on it but if you look closely in chapter 1 Luffy claims he will one day be “king of the pirates” it hasn’t happened yet but I’m willing to bet that oda has something planned for that little nugget

It'll be a bitter sweet moment if Blackbeard's final moments are him slumping up against a wall saying "You know what? I think it's about time I took a nap...I'm feeling tired..." and just closing his eyes and fading away. Something about Blackbeard, after everything, leaving the world so gently seems...wrong...

There's another Sanji hint even earlier than Mr. Prince. When they're crossing Reverse Mountain, Sanji makes mention about hearing of Ships that are able to climb over the Red Line. (The Germa Ships)

If the "Blackbeard dies if he falls asleep" theory is correct, then he better make sure Luffy keeps his skeleton in the closet cause Brook might go Jigglypuff on him.

There is one thing I want to say that supports black beards multiple personality theory. When he meets fluffy he says the pie is good and the booze is bad, but when luffy leaves the tavern and black beard talks to him about dreams. Well, he walked in the other direction saying the booze is good. Which to me IS proof someone else habitates his body. Because unless he was lying before, his taste in beer completely change over the span of a few minutes.

Pay attention to this: Chapter 97. Nami dressed as Robin and Hancock, way before either are introduced. Her Hancock-like dress even has a scarf with a dog head that resembles a snake wraping around her. Chapter 516. Titled "Pirate Empress Boa Hancock". Color spread showing the introductions of all then-crewmates, with a suspicious message: "A casual encounter..." Episode 1000 opening: Hancock is suspiciously present in a blink-and-you-miss moment near the end of the opening, despite her not being in the then-current Wano arc (like Kid, Law and Yamato, also featured) nor being on the same level of characters directly linked to Luffy (like Rayleigh, Dragon, Ace and Sabo, also featured). T100 Colorspread with 50+ characters from the popularity poll. Hancock is suspiciously the only character placed in the foreground next to the Straw Hats. She's the only non-Straw Hat standing on the treasure with Luffy and the others, and the closest other non-Straw Hats have a gap between them and the crew. Almost as if, in the future, we are supposed to see her as part of the group when we look back to this very special colorspread.

You know you spend too much time in the One piece analysis community when you know everything already lmao thanks for reminding us how great Oda is

I would like to add one thing. There are clearly two types of "foreshadowing", the ones Oda clearly planned, like Sanji's eye brows in the den den mushi, or the third sake cup AND The ones he made it in retrospect like the Yonko cover and Chouchou to name two.

the amount of convenience oda sets up, (which i would like to think of most as accidents, because that feels to me as the most one piece thing ever) is amazing, and makes it such an incredible read, and makes me want to reread it again. Greetings from Australia!

Honestly I don't believe in most of the "foreshadowing", I just think Oda is very good at leaving things open and then playing around it in the future.

I re-read the Alabasta Arc and this may sound like a stretch but.. Croc was tossing Vivi from the Palace walls and as Vivi is falling, she sees a silhouette from the sun. This was when Vivi was losing all hope as she felt powerless to stop the civil war ravaging her country. Yet, she regains her hope after seeing Luffy coming to get her - a strong tie in with Sun God Nika - bringing hope and liberation to Alabasta.

The section of Zorro crying over a sword is hilarious😂😂😂

5:49 “we see a goat and a miner next to shanks”

That "time travel fuckery" at about 10 mins was pretty solid got a good giggle 😂

In the early filler arc “warship island” Luffy was able to hear and speak with one of the centennial dragons through the voice of all things . Funnily enough, the character Apis had the whisper-whisper fruit which allowed her to understand and speak to animals, something Luffy can do without it

0:49 - Luffy says there are people in this world who don't sleep in the context of being in snowy countries, not in general. Then again, Drum Island WAS attacked by Blackbeard so... a tenuous connection at best, but still a connection. Those bits about Sabo, though, that's kind of mind-blowing, though I still find it hard to believe it was intentional even all the way back then. I think the best thing about the Kanjuro traitor twist is that I was taken off-guard, not because I genuinely didn't expect him to be the traitor, but because up to that point Kanjuro left such little impression on me that he legitimately wasn't on my mind in terms of who it could have been who betrayed everyone. Kanjuro is definitely a more interesting character as a bad guy than he ever was as one of the good guys.

I don't think Kanjuro was suspicious at all because the Strawhat Gang, even after the timeskip, has way too many "I don't know what I'm doing here goes nothing" characters like Luffy and Ussop. It made him look like an ordinary character. There are so many non-protagonist characters who are large-scale incompetent that you just don't think much of it, like the Marines who shoot Logia users, then say "Oh wAiT iTs a LogIA lEtS uSe tHe rIghT aMmO!" before they get murdered.

There was one more thing that we missed. Luffy's dream. I don't remember the chapter, but when sunny was travelling under the sea (to or from the fishman island, don't remember) when they see the current that carries the whales, nami says that these currents carry fish to unknown places or something. Then Luffy says maybe it will take me to where I want to go. And then there was a focus on luffy's grin. I think it is talking about luffy's dream.

I still don't buy that Ace's misspelled tattoo was always intended as a tribute to Sabo. I think it originally was a joke, a simple visual gag meant to tell us that Ace is a bit of an idiot, or at least that he's capable of a significant enough lapse of judgement that he would entrust someone who couldn't spell with tattooing his name on him. But Oda's so good at tying things together that he used the misspelled tattoo to give the visual gag significant meaning in retrospect.

To be honest about Kanjuro he was made too obvious to be a traitor that we just ignored it because usually it's never someone who's that obvious.

Didn’t know Sanji mother name was Sora ….now Germa being the enemy of Sora makes sense lol

Videos like this one got me hooked into GLR some time ago. Nice to see 👍

I find it so cool how deep the one piece lore and backstory is I love it

6:53 Sanji also carried his secret for a long time represented by the cover page in which he’s carrying a suitcase on which there’s a sticker written « the secret »

The biggest in-text spoiler not many have noticed, is that both Whitebeard and Gold Roger say ‘the world will be turned upside down’, which is actually literal. When the One Piece is found, the planet will shift on its axis and physically rotate Also the One Piece is in Loguetown, Roger was probably looking right at it when he said ‘my treasure is right there for you to take’

At the time where Blackbeard said that we weren’t introduced to white beards devil fruit so that one technically wasn’t wasn’t something we’d pick up on

Thanks I’m going to be late for my test tomorrow and my gpa might.. might go down by a lot but this seems interesting

In One Piece movie 3 Sanji says: "But i'm more the prince type." and Zoro: "shut up and and Mr. Prince" too, one year after chapter 174

Let's not forget where Oda introduced Kanjuro, they found him in a trash bin on dressrosa lol.

It seems that some of the series most important plot points are just introduced very casually without the reader even noticing.

Thanks for putting out such well researched content. I thoroughly enjoyed this video

Luffy is going to use his imagination to conjure a very comfy bed and Blackbeard won't be able to resist the urge to take a little nap

So when roger said "i left it all there" he was pointing at some corner in rogue town (he wouldve pointed but he was handcuffed) but people thought too much outside the box

2 videos in on your channel I've liked and subbed within those eps, you are an awesome One Piece content maker! wish I found yuou earlier haha

Awesome vid as always. I wonder how long Oda had planned everything w Buggy. Did he envision Buggy as a Yonko from Buggy's 1st appearance?

Oda is so fun with his coin flipping. Blackbeard defends dreamers on Jaya, but also doesn’t sleep and therefore wouldn’t dream.

Anyone else watch glr’s vids the minute they come out. Also I just wanted to say I love your vids and watch them every single day as much as possible.

4:32 im really loving this walk backwards thru the clues.

12:00 yoooo there was also a filler arc, Warship Island, in East Blue where Luffy was able to understand what a dragon was saying, and it was VERY pointed out

Keep up the awesome work and videos Liam love the video

I watched different channel that dissect and explain anime. Something about your voice is just so comforting to listen to. I could fall asleep with your video's

Loguetown as in epiLOGUE and proLOGUE. The obvious place for the whole thing to start and end

Why are these videos so good? I love them

Not just all the new yonko were at marineford but all of cross guild too which kinda makes me happy. And all of the warlords were there

I like when luffy and co are on their way to arlong with sanji, and luffy mentions that zeff said some people call the grand line "paradise". That is an amazing foreshadow dropped right there.

2:09 I actually had a discussion with someone who kept arguing about Sabo being a last minute Addition to replace Ace after he died. I actually knew about the third sake sake cup in that panel but i couldn't remember the exact chapter which the guy took as proof im lying. Glad to see i didn't misremember😂😂😂

4:53 After starting the manga after watching all the anime up to current (current is episode 1100), I noticed this silhouette first drawn at the end of chapter 2 on the very last page when discussing information about pirate flags. Don't know if it was intentional way back then, but even if it wasn't, it's nice to see things that may have inspired it down the road.

I recently re-watched up to the time skip via reactions, and I noticed something. Franky said what he wants the end for his dream ship to be. And I was like "Oh no... that's going to hit like a truck."

A simple one I think everyone knows at this point: the slave auction list (chapter 501) has a list of various races and different prices. One of the races are Minks, who don't show up again until Zou (chapter 795). So (I wasnt reading at the time), I guess people thought Bepo was a fruit user?

Great vid as alwasy but something i noticd, with kanjaro, was he was the only one not to cry when he was reunited with the other samurai

12:18, when i revisted that Scene, i actually made the Assumption, that it could be the voice of all things, since thats the only thing that would really make sense, aside from it just being Anime Logic

wow, that blackbeard theory makes so much sense, he talks so vividly about dreams because he can't really have them himself, if he can't sleep, so his only option is to go all out and do whatever it takes to achieve his dream.

This is why we know Big Mom is alive. Oda wouldn’t have had her say “don’t think this will kill me” as her last words if that was the end of her.

conquero's haki was also foreshadowed during the Zoro vs Luffy arc, when they clash lightning could be seen above them

It's soo insane that I watched this video the week day after getting to know that kanjuro is a traitor. Considering I have been watching this channel for 6 months and one piece for a year.

another example of when luffy is shown with the voice of all things is when he talked to the dragon thing pre time skip on the way to the grand line i think

the whole luffy mentioning people that dont sleep in drum island thing is one of the most interesting pieces of foreshadowing ever, it is clearly about Black beard, but i got the feeling the reason is about to be something crazy like kuma's bucaneer reveal and all

What would be cool is if Black Beard had three personalities and every time one fell asleep a different one awakened.

"Mind blowing brain bending narative sack wack" The words and the delivery of the line. I had a good laugh on that one 😂😂😂😂😂

Another hint of Kanjuro being the traitor: in Zou, he drew a dragon (the iconic and lovable Ryunosuke). At the time it seemed that he was trolling Kin'emon, who was established to hate dragons in Punk Hazard. But when we discover Kaido's fruit....

On Fishman Island, the steroids' they were using came from/were based on Joyboy - giving you massive power then aging you ridiculously - as it is with Noah (the ship of promise) that we first see interactions with relics from Joyboy and the void century. Then, we see the original with Luffy hitting G5 and then turning into a geezer.

7:57 Peak GrandLineReview 😂

the sabo outfit reminds me that in the anime there is a random character on a horse (in alabasta arc) that is almost wearing Law's entire outfit

Bro I was shocked when momo said he met Roger I was like wtf was is no one addressing this 😂

I just had the most instant goosebumps in the end.

Well if Laugh Tale is indeed somehow linked to Loguetown, literally called "town of beginning and end", then it makes perfect sense for Rojer to laugh so hard when he reached it, just cause it means that answer was there even before journey started.

Ironic that I had a conversation yesterday with my nephew about how he shouldn't skip around when watching One Piece so as not to miss certain details no matter how small. And then I see this video notification as I was thinking about that conversation.

Damn That Bulldog Whitebeard 😂

Makes me curious if Blackbeard is a Buccaneer like Kuma, would explain the size and "strange" body just as well as any other theory

This is why I’m rewatching the anime, potentially the manga as well, because when I seen luffy speak to chouchou I was like hold up now😭😭

im so glad someone else has brought up luffy talking to chuchu at the beginning of the story. i started rereading a few months ago and all i could say was "holy sh*t" when i noticed it.

Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. Greetings from Czech Republic. Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu. Zdraví Nogy.

Love this was very fun, iffy on chouchou but I’ll take it never noticed the sabo in lotus town nice catch but I mean odd has the shown the habit of putting weird or often shading whatever since the very beginning it not hard to miss it, it’s not like he spent over a couple hundred chapters insulting pandaman into almost every island arc

good video

What if Rocks, Whitebeard and Roger are all sworn brothers like Luffy Sabo and Ace?

I find it interesting that while Luffy was giving doflamingo the final blow, the anime shows clips of all of Luffys allies saying Luffys name. However, Kanjuro didn’t say Luffys name, all he said was, “Please!”

maybe the snow one is foreshadowing bb death maybe its referring to kuzan betraying him and freezing him don’t they say you get sleepy when you’re freezing to death and you have to try to fight it 😮 or maybe I’m just reading into nothing also I love these videos thank you for the constant uploads !!

Your thumbnail looks like a Diego Rivera mural, amazing stuff

Here are a few more clues for Kanjuro like he is designed after a kabuki actor which Wano itself was designed on a Kabuki play & Orochi stated that his spy was the child of actors, Kanjuro was “captured” by Doflamingo’s men so then how did he end up being safe underground where he sleeping & eating instead of just climbing out using his power like how he used after Kin’emon found him, in Oden’s flashback when they first met Kanjuro was stated to be persecuted just like the Kurozumi clan, & his Epithet “Evening Shower” could be foreshadowing for the stormy night before the Raid

Oh boy.. majority of revelations here are new to me. Looking forward to have part 2 up to part 10 of this! 😊

There is also Haki mentioned way back at episode 151 by Blackbeard. At the time, Blackbeard could not believe that Luffy has a bounty of 30 million with that weak Haki of Luffy, let alone 100 million. I guess Luffy, Zoro and Sanji's bloodline that got them far. Haki is already a thing and ODA kept it hidden until the time skip.

Has no one seen the shadows of the other crew mates of blackbeards during that Jaya chapter? They definitely got followed in either the anime or the manga and if you see the background characters while the straw hats walk the town you see burgess and van agur and doc and laffitte

When they first showed the two sake cups and the shadow I recall thinking hm that must be the sake bottle

there was also that anime filler where Luffy had a conversation with that dragon

Just when I thought I couldn't be more impressed by Oda's storytelling you drop this banger.

Kanjuro's antics are absolutely hilarious the second time around

I’m here for my daily dose of One Piece content in my RU-vid feed!

Is Sanji the only cook that has a bounty above billion?
