10:25 I can see it now. Meehawk and mini mehawk sitting at opposite ends of a really long table in an old castle reading newspapers not talking to each other
Clever how the three Seraphim that aren’t on Egghead were the ones Luffy beat with punch fighting while the four on Egghead are the ones that have a connection with Luffy that had minimal punch fighting and more of interaction.
i doubt Katarina would forget the tattoo because Nami's poster has it front and center Unless Katarina has some weird quirk or fault, something like "she hates tattoos and scars because they damage her beauty, so she will never replicate them"
@@vatsalsrivastav5195 yeah, i know but her fruit doesn't seem to have downsides of that sort so, either it's an error on Oda's part (like Liam suggested) or it's something dumb tied to Katarina (like Cindry's hate for plates) I'm on the "drawing error" side, personally
I think the theory is more that they'll blow up reverse mountain instead of the whole red line, thus creating the all blue for sanji and fixing the weather conditions across the globe (no calm belt, extreem weather conditions, no grand line) everyone can go across the world at any time, freeing the whole worlfs restriction of traveling to the other seas, making it easier for nami making her dream come true faster aswell of making a world. map
Idk the red line looks to artificial and removes huge chunks of water. It looks placed intentionally to devide therfore it should probably removed and thus unveal many sunken Kingdoms and freeing the world from this encaging red line. I think at the reverse mountain the red line was pulled up, therfore the water flows up too
Therefroe destroying the grand line, therefore making Luffy the eternal pirate king, as no one else can conquer the grand line! LUFFYS ACTUALLY A GENIUS
Here's a thought I'm sure others likely have had too, but since Saturn is largely Kuma's adversary, why not just take the advice of a certain pink sea star and just...Push him somewhere else? Kuma's DF doesn't seem to have a maximum range, so couldn't he just yeet Saturn off-planet?
Nico Robin better get that ice cream sundae after surviving a third Buster Call on the Straw Hats who would fight them off as an Emperor-level crew they are or escape from them with the Vegapunks successfully.
Another interesting example of someone surviving the same tragedy several times would be Violet Jessop, who survived three shipwrecks between 1911 and 1916, including the famous Titanic one, though in one of them the ship didn't actually sink and there were no fatalities, just a whole lot of damage to the ship. She is sometimes referred to as "the unsinkable woman" for this.
I wonder if the big robot will be drawn towards Saturn. He is one of the few things that are probably left from the void century/ last time the robot was active. What if it recognises his energy or something goes after him? I think that could be really fun to see!
I feel like we are getting ready to rewind a few hours (egghead time) and cover what everyone else has been doing because we have been so heavily focused on the interactions with Kizaru and St. Saturn before wrapping it up with the final fight.
I think Blackbeard send Laffite and Catarina Devon to egghead as a lookout for the other island that the alliance could land on, he didnt go to elbaf as shanks was there and A: he didnt want to fight him and B: whoever lands there would get their ass kicked anyways so i think bb pirates are on egghead purely for exposition in the future
In contrast to Black Maria who took some drugs to turn her normal spider Zoan form to be beautiful but left her human half being vulnerable to injury, Saturn shrugged off an Armament Haki-enhanced punch of Kuma to the face and regenerated his lost arm and horn like nothing happened.
What if, the reason The Five Elder Stars are afraid of Luffy aka Nika is because that's the only one who can truly damage them and stop or slow down their regeneration.
Current Luffy can't beat single one of them. He couldn’t even able to defeat those new Seraphim. And he couldn’t able to defeat Kizaru even after using Awakening form. It was draw. He needs more training to master the awakening form.
They have devil fruit abilities. Same weakness as the rest, they can be killed. Sure it is tougher to pull of but it is still possible, you mericans freak out when someone is tougher to kill than the average man and call him immortal.
Bonney is very lucky to have a great father like Kuma who is willing to sacrifice everything for her. The other dads in One Piece could learn a thing or two from him especially Yasopp
About Punk Records and your suggestions on how to deal with it. Vegapunk told us to not worry about it because he has done the stuff that needs to be done to run away with it. Also, Caribou DOES have a limit to his pocket dimension, it was reached in a cover story and it is pretty much an army's weapon stash.
I wonder why there is no fight where the weak point of devil fruits are a deciding factor, the whole time fighting kaido i was thinking "just send him in the water" and same here with saturn, i think it would be a lot easier to drown him than to disintegrate him, i guess it is because it would make fights less interesting
God, PLEASE Oda I BEG of you let my boy shine in this arc AT LEAST any way he can. Already so proud of him going for the kill on a gorosei without a second thought even if it didn't do much haha
Not on topic: But is it possible that the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi overtook Kuma´s body? Vegapunk hypothesis was that devil fruits where there to make wishes true. Like hugging his daughter one last time or something like that.The gorosei stated that the Nika-Nika no Mi had its own will. Edit: Will Kuma just paw away Punk Records?
Good theory! I had been thinking maybe Caribou would somehow swamp up PR for later, if he’s not picked up by Blackbeards crew, leading to Shirahoshi’s Identity reveal. But Kuma Pawing it to…I guess Vegapunk would want it to go to Elbaf… makes sense. Nice one!
@@hoppiethefool6372 i assume you want to say the nikyu nikyu no mi is also an ancient zoan? i would totally buy it if vegapunk just stayed quiet and didn`t mention it as a rumored trait of the buccaneer race.. this single handedly devalued this theory from "yeah, possible" to "very unlikely"
I think this buster call is it for Lucci. He and his team are sort of their own found family same as the straw hats and in my opinion only came back to the world government fold because they got a pretty sweet deal in negotiations to do so. Promoted instead of hunted forever makes for a pretty obvious choice, this new betrayal though I think is a bridge too far for them.
I feel that Saturn would be beaten or temporarily unable to fight for a while all due to the buster call, the straw hats somehow distracting long enough to escape by either the holograms or a weird abilty from gear 5 that Saturn would take the full hit of the buster call.
I'd love if saturn was defeated in the way depicted in the thumbnail. Finishing him the same way we finish spiders... There's got to be something poetic in that! (I think)
i cant lie i started laughing uncontrollably too when you reminded us that the blackbeard pirates are there. they're just there to watch the buster call. they have popcorn
I love the subtle (because it's never acknowledged in-world) yet not-so-subtle (if you're paying attention) detail of the 3 absent Seraphim being the 3 warlords that Luffy has defeated.
I'm hoping for a massive brawl so that every character on the island gets to fight. Let them use the gadgets too, like items in Super Smash Bros. The brawl should last for at least as many issues as the flashback.
I think if punk records is destroyed the robot vegapunks die, but the main vegapunk lives just as a regular genius (not a super-ultra genius). He probably just loses a ton of memories/research
And the talk of Kuma being the last Buccaneer, and how Big Mom wanted babies with all the races to make her table of unity, and the note that Bonnie saw all of Kuma's memories including if he had, uhm, "Panda Problems" or not, does make me wonder if she ever approached him or not and, if so, why she took "No" for an answer. She's the type that'd show up later with hostages or the threat of eradicating an island or the like unless he does as she commands and gives her that ring. Awkward. (Bonus points for S-Croc's design having the long shirt so we can't actually see their gender, for a future "The theory was right?!" reveal.)
I think the same reason why vegapunk can't remove primal instincts from living things is connected to the same kind of reason why Kuma still has will despite his current condition. Could the energy that vega punk discovered that surrounds them be the voice of all things? Imu said the D.s are husks that know no significance of their name. A husk usually house a soul/spirit/ energy/ mana. Could the D clan have the ability to absorb/ manipulate this limitless all over place power source? Seems like a really big threat against the world government if they could use it.
5:15 id like to think that whats left of Stella's actual brain is in his backpack(as seen as early in 1071 and jinbe presumably put it on the thousand sunny in 1093) and that Punk Records is a library type of brain so vegapunk can and is willing to abandon it and should survive
We've literally seen a Blackbeard ship swimming towards egghead, it was in a panel. We've also seen a weird shape going around destroying security cameras
I’m wondering since Kuma has been turned into a cyborg, being put through slavery and among other things. Has he compiled a large pain paw bubble, if he has I feel that this might be the way he turns this on Saturn. Destroying him from within and the buster call clearing up the remnants.
The new anime chapter with the introduction of Atlas made me think... Atlas spoke about the reality of things philosophically, and that little tidbit that just happened quickly put me thinking about Bonney's power and Gear 5 too! . Guess who was there on the side munching down while that was spoken?! Bonney and Luffy! But here's the kick, Chopper was also there, which made me think about how that phrase could relate to Chopper in any way. And I figured it out! Chopper's awakening will all hinge on how he sees his devil fruit and himself! He has this strong bias that he and his forms are like monsters, aberrations due to his trauma, and he had to lose his fear of becoming a monster to train and master Monster Point. The fruit he ate however is the Human-Hunan Fruit, which by nature is Human which is generically the opposite of monstrous. So maybe Chopper's changing the perception of his own devil fruit will lead to him truly and fully awakening his fruit, and maybe becoming a real boy Pinocchio style when awakened.
Atlas bit also reminded me about what oda said the theme of film red is which are question in regards to what is virtual reality? What is reality and is escaping reality evil? and ironically atlas's design is similar to Uta
What if the reason that Blackbeard can use two devil fruits is because he is part buccaneer and his body is acting on in his place despite him technically being dead? He’s only half as tall as kuma, but if he’s a quarter buccaneer instead of half, that could explain the height difference
If what the person cloned love is key to giving the seraphim free will crocodile could potentially help his break free from the government’s control and recruit it to cross guild
i feel like kaku would be someone that would take more issues with the bustercall and been seeing as desposable than luchi. luchi dont feel like a character that realy care if he survives or not like in his real introduction not his undercover one.
If getting caught in their own island eradicator attack is how the elder stars go out you know im gonna have the "LAUCH THE MISSLE NOW" clip from the iron giant as a meme template ready to go immediately
don't get this twisted, saturn's regeneration seems to be an active ability (he has to activate it for it to take effect) so... that's already a weakness but i think it takes stamina out of him, if regeneration takes stamina out of him as it should then we can just fight him normally until he runs out of stamina and then he can no longer regenerate and kill him, nothing too deep about it... hopefully the problem is... i don't see luffy killing someone... so is luffy really going to kill saturn? or someone else will do the job?
The image of that thumbnail might actually end up happening in the manga! Wouldn’t surprise me. Luffy crushes Saturn like a bug after all that time he spent calling everyone insects.
Maybe the buccaneers special trait is unstoppable unexstiguishable willpower, maybe its so unstobbale that the progenitor of the D clqn was a buccaneer and his will was so unstoppable that even tho he was killed his will continues to be passed down to all his varied many and scattered unique descendants, and those descendents try to fufill that will through the lense of their own cultures and personal life experiences
I've been thinking a lot about the last chapter, and how we now suddenly have to deal with major enemies who can heal and regenerate at will. You mentioned how regenerative abilities are annoying to deal with for both the characters and the readers (since it is kind of an over-used trope in manga). If the elders' abilities are in fact related to devil fruits or THE devil, we have one character who can negate these abilities: Blackbeard. Whether or not Blackbeard knew about the elders' ability to regenerate, it seems like this may lead to the Luffy/Blackbeard team up that some people have been speculating. If Blackbeard's goal is to sit at the top of the world, maybe he pursued his fruit because he knew he could harm the ones currently at the top.
Violet Jessop was a maritime stewardess and nurse who survived the sinking of both the Titanic and Britannic. Thought id add my though on who comes to mind when Nico Robin survives buster calls
Good narrative, I like that you fall back on VegaPunk's prime objective of spreading all knowledge and power to the rest of the world. Nothing else matters if this becomes reality, relatively to the story it would change everything. You also mention that the luffy stuff could be all holographic. Mugiwara has taken over the wired confirmed. Literally anything can happen here and its likely that Luffy has saint Saturn spun up already.
Remembering there's so much stuff happening in the background of any One Piece arc is one of my favorite things. It make the story feel so alive that even when we're following the story from any character's POV, stuff still happens everywhere.
Something you said made me think Luffy has turned almost all his enemies into either actual friends or respects luffy to the point the wont fk with him and even help sometimes. What's the chances one of the 5 elders end up being a secret nika worshiper or something and thus turns sides. Its soooo possible with the way oda writes
if something happens to luffy , Shanks kll All the 4 elders claims the one piece , Plot Amour Shanks dn't know about Imu sama. If oda writes another way Shanks ,Giants warrior, CP, CD, dragon and the luffy alliances all the family become the 13 Holy God knights .
I never really understood the whole idea of using those light gloves, because the only people who even stands a chance at fighting Kizaru already knows Haki, so I can't really see the use of those gloves.
Its one of those things oda creates for fun and never does anything meaningful with it afterwards, he used those light gloves to explain how atlas can beat up holograms but never has atlas fight in this arc(and shes the violence vegapunk too) or give the gloves to anyone without haki, tis a shame
I remember when the hologram punching gloves were revealed people were saying they were so big they could only fit Franky, and who's Kizaru fighting now?
It’s bigger than usual, but with Luffy being pretty immortal, it’s not death we need to be concerned about. It’s how it shows in the newspapers in the morning, and how that will inspire other Yonkou and Imu to respond.
Just a random thought: The will of the D is the will of the dance 😂 Another random thought: Conerning Buccaneers: The IRL buccaeers almost eradicated the people of Hispanola (and that was written down by the theologian -> Bartolomé de Las Casas
I just noticed something... The Gorosei, a group of men, and Imu, someone who's depicted and believed to be a woman. Oh God... I can see the Empty Throne with Imu on it, surrounded by the Gorosei I CAN SEE _THAT_ *IMAGE*
It only makes sense that the sentence vegapunk didn’t finish is the “heart” or feelings. That would explain why Hancocks clone would have more will than other seraphims.
I can see them not using the Mother Flame due to Vegapunk and Egghead being too well known by the general public so they couldn't erase it from history
they can't use Uranus (the weapon) because the Mother Flame (the power source) was using up by destroying Lulusia, and York hasn't provided them with a replacement yet
@@McBehrer And she never will now because Saturn just said to NUKE THE POWER PLANT via initiating the Buster Call. AKA, his own action just completely NULL AND VOIDED the entire deal made with York, something that I'm sure even IF he makes it out alive and back to Imu and the other Gorosei, they will NOT take kindly to his actions and may possibly end him themselves, like a sort of "You are too problematic now, Saturn. We have to take you out of this life."
What if the Gorosei are powered by the grudges of the world? Sort of like Tot Musica from Film Red. They NEED to keep people miserable and cursing fate to stay alive, because that’s the source of their power. If everyone in the world is happy, their “curse” is lifted, and they’ll just disappear.
The new chapter is arguably my favourite of egghead so far seeing kuma punch saturn was a punch nearly as satisfying as when luffy punched saint charlos
7:13 we already KNOW it does. Im can't use Uranus without the Mother Flame to power it, and he needs Vegapunk to provide another one, as explained earlier. Pay attention!
Which that deal is now null and void since the power plant is ON Egghead, which is now set to be DESTROYED. So Saturn just completely ended the bargain made to York given the very thing she needs to produce said Mother Flame for them is now about to be completely obliterated and no longer exist unless they SOMEHOW prevent the Buster Call from happening (which maybe they can, maybe if Luffy uses his powers to affect the entire island, or maybe Devonn is disguised as a vice admiral and she starts shooting at all the other marine ships because Blackbeard also wants Egghead to remain intact for reasons, or the ancient robot arrives and destroys all the marine ships, etc)
Its getting slowly unpopular that Im has Uranus and more popular that Uranus is on Elbaf, its hard to know what exactly was used to destroy lulusia since the mother flame being its energy source is the popular headcannon atm and since oda hasnt made it clear what was above lulusia
I honestly think Blackbeard’s a Buccaneer. He and Kuma have a similar body type, he’s amazingly durable, considering the Dark-Dark Fruit’s double damage drawback, and Marco even mentioned an “abnormality” in his body, which may as well be the special Buccaneer trait Vegapunk was talking about. Also, their hairstyles are amazingly similar, but that’s neither here nor there.
The other option for the GOROSEI would be that whatever regeneration powers they have are magic and not a devil fruit. Then dispelling them would force them to age to death rapidly, like dispelling Black Adam in DC comics
