Facts You Should Know About JOY BOY - One Piece 

I love the theory that when roger said he wished he lived during joyboys time he was talking about the current luffy. Since there was obviously a prophecy on laughtale since oden new about joyboys return. And the funniest one piece theory ive heard is that there is a big bronze luffy statue lol since luffy wished for it back in skypiea, would be hoilarious.

him being a giant would totally make sense why zunesha is his friend

I have a feeling that Roger heard about joyboy's tale and that's the reason he want to go to the last island and wearing a straw hat. In the process he felt that joyboy wasn't in his time and he decided to inherit his straw hat to shanks, saying some kind of "there is no joyboy in my time, now you must find him" Until shanks met luffy and gave him the straw hat, not only luffy said the same thing as his beloved captain, but he felt that luffy will carry joyboy's legacy.

One word: Elbaf. If Joyboys'a Giant, I am nearly certain a piece of his Legacy lies there.

Theory: joyboy is the one who created devil fruits, he didn’t eat the nika fruit, he created the power using his haki, his wills and dreams were so strong he got the power, after he lost the war, he used his haki to grant the dreams of everyone, the only drawback is that they couldn’t swim, because after joyboy couldn’t keep his promise, the fish man banned and cursed him by taking his ability to swim, and since devil fruits were created by him, the curse carried on Edit: this could also explain why the void century was erased from history, because if something like this was known, everyone would be looking for this fruit to cause chaos Edit#2: joyboy was not a giant and the reason he lived to a hundred was that the rubber property of his power that stretched out his life making him live longer than normal

im interested in his relationships with Zunesha the most tbh, like what kind of a crazy crime they did that Zunesha should always walk through the sea, cant wait to find out

Imagine 10 years from now, we can say for a certain that almost all of the mysteries are going to be revealed ( or is it ) 😉

Fun fact Toki's final words could also be interpreted as Joyboy's return not just the return of Kozuki clan to take back Wano.

The most fascinating thing I find about the story of joy boy and the devils fruits attraction is that history is repeating itself. Luffy is no doubt joyboy reincarnate. All the devil fruits such Mr 2s fruit has helped him even thought this fruit belonged to that hag who helped orochi get into power. Momos mums devil fruit may have belonged to someone who knew joy boy and he/she may have told him of someone to come who will be able to bring peace to the world. Posideon and joy boy knew each other and again history repeats itself. So just a few instances of some devil fruits who have been intertwined with fate will definitely happen

I agree with every single one of these except the last one a bit. For one thing while it could be possible he was a giant, it could also be possible that because Joy Boy is "potentially" the God Nika, he could change his size ideally. Given that God's are powerful beings and such. And considering that if Joy Boy wasn't the god Nika (theoretically), humans can live about a century, there's no telling that this guy wasn't fighting in his old age if he was human. But I do see your point on it

I have a theory that Nika IS the Model: Nika fruit. Just the naming scheme makes it seem like fruits of this type were manufactured. "Model: etc..." Perhaps the Ancient Kingdom were the sole manufacturers of devil fruits and that's what caused the other kingdoms to rebell. Before I say the next part of my theory, I have to preface with another theory (oops lol, makes it a bit less believable basing a theory on another theory but it holds weight!), Nika is the SUN god, the gorrosei are named after planets. Many believe it to be referencing the Roman Pantheon, the mythological gods named after planetary bodies. But something to think about is our Solar System's planets revolve around the sun. I think it was an incredibly clever sleight of hand by Oda to misdirect our thinking. We know that Devil Fruits reincarnate themselves. Is it a stretch to say the Gorrosei's fruits were the "royal guard" of sorts and Nika was the "leader" of the ancient kingdom. The previous owners, or very plausibly, the CURRENT owners sought to take power and conspired against Nika to seize power. The way the Gorrosei talk about the Nika fruit makes it seem truly God-like in power. A very Oda thing to do would be to symbolize the downfall of humanity at our own hands. We kill our gods for power only to realize the true power of a God. The power of Joy. The power to spread infectious joy and unite humanity under one flag. THATS what scares the World Government. Unity.

I think all ancient weapons are kind of tools joy boy had And maybe zuniesha is the ship of joy boy

With his awakened devil fruit power, Sun God Nika, Joy Boy was the one who "closed" Wano in order to hide Pluton, as can be seen when Luffy fight Kaido in his gear 5 form, he can pull up the ground

What if Im-sama was the one who made mythical-zoan devil-fruits or all devil-fruits. Maybe he turned Nika to the devil fruit? Maybe all the other mythical-zoan were actual people and Im was one of them but then he wanted alot of power and rule the world. They may have been immortal too until he betrayed them or something?

Another possible acquaintance of Joyboy could have been the massive individual known as Oars. Oars was known as the island puller who stole entire islands, we know that Wano is actually a composite island. Onigashima the skull island off that floated inside the lake between the Wanokuni peak and the walls looks like the Oars from Thriller Bark, and Moria might have been mistaken about the body he found being the real Oars.

100 years is relatively young for a giant. This was confirmed on Elbaf.

We didn't know if Joy Boy was the true owner of the One Piece. In fact, the most probable thinking is that One Piece is something Roger leave there just to motivate the people (and the chosen one aka Luffy (he knows that because of the Sea Kings prophecy)) to try to reach there and discover everything. Devil fruit: Gorosei said they could'nt ACQUIRED the Fruit even after 800 years, not that hasn't been seen. Also it's said by Zunesha that it's the first time it awakes since "JoyBoy", so it's easy to assume they were another Gomu Gomu users that didn't know how to awake the fruit. Luffy was the chosen one for that. I'm guessing Joy Boy is the name for G5, to put it simple. Is because of the laugh. So, we yet need to know who really was JoyBoy from 800 years ago. And no, if JoyBoy had the fruit, then he wasn't Nika. Nika was something else, or maybe just a "desire/idea" to become.

Joyboy’s history better be the best knock knock joke in history or i aint laughing

That last giant theory may be something because while we are heading to Egghead currently, we still have yet to go to Elbaph, and Nami can’t make a world map if she doesn’t go to every island. So after Egghead, there me be some correlations to the old joyboy found in Elbaph, plus Big Mom was exiled, so after being part of the team that defeated her and Ussop saving the two giants in Enies Lobby, they may be welcomed into Elbaph

The fruit itself carries the will of NIKA and only someone who like LUFFY can bring it out...

what if the ark of promise will be used by fishmans when they go to the surface and lived there?

It’s all adding up now I started to understand what is happening now 😮 Most interesting anime ever

I think people are taking the "Luffy is Joy Boy" a bit too litterally. He indeed has the same devil fruit as Joy Boy, but most importantly he shares the same behavior and worldview as Joy Boy. They are both absolutely free and kind (unlike Black beard, who is similarly free but utterly ruthless). And concerning the devil fruit model nika (egghead spoilers) : Vegapunk basically said that devil fruit are incarnation of the desire of humans. So the religion of the sun god Nika probably existed before the devil fruit, and because many people probably wished for him to be real, the fruit materialized. I don't think it means that Nika somehow incarnates through Luffy when he uses gear 5.

If joyboy is a giant with his abilities and powers he will be invincible

Another thing I thought about is world Government seeking of gomu-gomu fruit. Shanks found it and was eaten by luffy. Shanks probably realised luffy was joyboy at that moment.

Imagine a 10-storey giant flinging his rubber arms.

Shanks had to know luffy was joyboy from the start because, shanks saved luffy from a sea king before his power awakened also shanks told luffy to hold on to the hat and not give it back till he's a great pirate saying complete the history before putting up the straw hat

Now this series would take a long long time to see what actually happened. It’s sad and also exiting at the same moment that only one episode per week. Oh boy oh boy it’s gonna take a long to find One Piece

I think Laughtale is a wacky cartoon land that Joyboy created using his devil fruit power. That explains why everyone was laughing. Hence the word Joyboy and Luffy's gear 5 have in common.

That was nice of work pal, keep going

What a jolly video to pop on me news feed ! XP

The last one is quite wrong. Someone has made a scale chart comparing the huge straw hat to giants, and it can easily be said that it'd cover the tip of their pinky. At best, Joy Boy was a large human like Big Mom. Also, some humans have been shown to live very long (like Dr Kurera), so he wouldn't have needed to be a giant to live up to 100 years old

Joyboy was possibly not a giant because Luffy was able to become really big and even his strawhat and clothes became big, that indicates that maybe joyboy became big like that 800 years ago while fighting the kings and lost the battle in that form.

When i watched skypia arc. In old story they mentioned sacrificing a girl to the sun god,forest god,and snakegod, for curing their illness in skypia.

Makes sense for a ancient giant which were huge to be able to make something like Noah and be friends with such a massive elephant lime Zunesha

What i like to think is that joyboy’s body was born naturally with the properties of rubber, and that he was born a sun god. Since we know now that devil fruits are the embodiment of humans wanting to evolve in certain ways, maybe upon joyboy’s death people really wanted him to come back because of all the good that he had done, thus the formation of the hito hito model nika. The government however did not want joyboy’s return and hid the fruit, and shanks had wanted to go and give the fruit to his captain’s son, ace. But instead, the fruit found it’s way to luffy because luffy was born as the one to be sun god nika.

Joy boy is just a nickname for the awakened sun god nika form. The real name of the form is the Sun God Nika, however I’m assuming people started calling him “Joy Boy” because the form causes the DF user to laugh and smile uncontrollably

WELL AS WE HAVE LUFFY'S GAINT FORM , IT PROBABLY MEANS THAT THE STRAW HAT IN MARIE JOIS IS JOYBOY'S HAT BUT IT'S SZE INCREASED DUE TO ABILITIES OF FREEDOM (AKA A DF POWER OF HITO HITO NO MI , MYTHICAL TYPE, MODEL:NIKA )

probably the skull at onigashima was his skull, which would be that big if for instance he was an giant oni like kaido possibly being the same size as him, then gigantified himself, and as a giant giant, died in a fight while in gear 5. As a result his body didn't shrink back down but stayed as large as it was, and he was then later buried at onigashima. This would then make sense that the place where Luffy awoke gear 5 was the same place joy boy was buried.

Great video!

I think Joyboy was a buccaneer like Kuma

or maybe he wasnt a Giant but his mastry of devil fruit allows him to change into any size just like luffy

I'm not gonna die until this mystery is revealed!

what if roger laughed because the was no tresure think about it

It would be really cool if JoyBoy was a giant. It would make some sense why giants have such an idolized place in the world's lore

He was not previous user of Hito Hito no Mi, no one just couldn’t unlock its full potential, and everybody suggested that this was Gomu Gomu no Mi

Eat healthy folks. Stay alive until op is done

last but not least luffy is the joy boy of this era😊

One piece is something so grand yet ridiculous enough to made entire Roger's crew laughing (or dumfounded). Maybe the feelings is like when we discovered Luffy's Gear 5. I mean, a power to transformed into a cartoon character ? Who the hell would expected that ! Now i really wonder what kind of treasures that so grand, precious yet really ridiculous..😆

WHAT IF!! the luffy that would destroy the fishman island is a seraphim of luffy that the world government created with destructive power unimaginable

According to the one piece end game spoiler which came out 1 year ago joyboy is imus brother and there will be some luffy going into the past arc so he can watch the whole joyboy story.

He could have been a gaint but if you think about it gear 3rd makes you big also the fruit it self is the power of imagination so what if it was a normal hat and he enlarged it with the properties of rubber as well as himself

about the successor of Joyboy that would be Luffy cause 1. he wears the strawhat given by Shanks 2. Luffy went to the same fishmen island like Joyboy did 3. Luffy can't talk to Zunesha but can hear him 4. Luffy ate the same fruit aka gomu gomu no mi like Joyboy has 5. Luffy is the only one that can fight Kaido cause Luffy has a bounty of 1.5 billion aka an emperor 6. when people think Luffy 'died' against Kaido is wrong cause his body is changing & the fruit is showing it's true name & power that's why in the episode & chapter there's smoke coming out of Luffy's body & mouth & his heart is beating which is the drums of liberation (aka that only Zunesha can hear) 7. reason Zunesha came to Wano so he could see his former comrade again & of course talk to Momo that Joyboy returned but as a spirit inside Luffy's fruit 8. after defeating Kaido the gorisei and Imu has decided to stop Luffy cause we saw Imu in the chapters holding a poster of Luffy after he pronounced as a yonko when he got 3 billion berries

Love one piece such a detailed world

I wonder how joyboy lost the battle after he himself being so powerful and having 3 ancient weapons and powerful comrades . How strong is imu 🤔

That starwhat is too small for a giant, which likely means that Joyboy was a Buccaneer.

We will find out, in about 2 decades. Steady yer sails BOOOOIIIIS

What I want to understand is what made all of these prophecies. I think the voice of all things is supposedly the reason why Nika hasn’t vanished despite the world government’s best efforts, including in Impel Down which absolutely shouldn’t have any knowledge of it by reasonable means. Is that the same reason why these prophecies could be made about Joy Boy’s return?

Luffy being Joy Boy's reincarnation, and everything happening by destiny and fate instead of Luffy's own hard work, would be a huge disappointment for me 😒

im saving this for later when he gets animated

Fun fact: the song playing in this video is binks’s brew (Bink’s no sake)

Okay, for èèèèèèveryone that didn't get it; Gomu gomu no mi is still: gomu gomu no mi. It's name did not change. Hito hito no mi: mythical zoan type model: Nika, is not a new name. It is it's awakened name. The conversation regarding this has now released in the anime as well. I don't understand how so many people still not understand that ... what happened to this community, man... we used to be so smart, collectively.... now look at us. 90% of us don't even understand a simple line because they're bussier following the crazy theories of youtubers fishing for hit videos by making them wilder and crazier every single time. My veteran One Piece fan heart bleeds.

The Orange Hokage Naruto Uzumaki is the reincarnation of Asura Otsusuki, the youngest son of the legendary Sage of the Six Paths Hagoromo Otsusuki. The 5th Grand Line/New World Emperor & future Pirate King Straw Hat Luffy is the current 800 year reincarnation of the legendary adventurer Joyboy. Imagine if these 2 met and fought a villain that threatened BOTH the Hidden Sand Village and Dressrosa. THAT'LL please both Naruto & One Piece fans GREATLY!!👒🌞👊🏴‍☠️👍

Fun fact: the song playing is an rework on Binks no saké

Considering that early humans were of great heights... That Giant Factor might be interesting but... Ponegliphs aren't... Hmmm so I wonder

Theory: What if joyboy wasn't a giant instead he turned that straw hat that imu has into a ridiculous size with his ridiculous sun god nika abilities. Just like how Luffy turned himself into a giant when he was fighting kaido.

whos here after joyboy silhoutte reveal....actually hes not a giant

Elbaph is going to be so cool

I will lose it if at the end, the One Piece is a literally a joke, not even a good one, but a bad one that you laugh at it because how bad it is. 😂

I think Luffy travelled back to the void century where he became 'Joyboy', maybe his Huge Straw Hat grew over time?

I think Joy boy was a giant. Oars could have been joy boy.

Some of these aren't absolute facts. Just very reasonable and plausible assumptions Excpet maybe for some the latest "facts", especially the ones about his age. All we know about that is still extremely vague

There must be something very funny writen on that poniglyph on laughtale. Onepiece is not a huge treasure i think, it must be something simple but funny

2:05 what the gorosei said is misinterpreted. they said the hito hito no mi model: nika wasnt awakend for 800 years. the government tried to get the fruit but never succeded.

I just realized.......straw hat in EIM room is that big......

GEAR 5 IS HEREEE

What happen if giant eat devil fruit??...giant size king kong gun

900 years ago a world controlled by people who have a determination of D. Then a coup done by the ancestors of sky dragon.

Bruh literally FUTURE ONE PIECE watchers after 10 yrs or after the the show gets end 🗿.. I swear they won't get hyped and making theory theory no mi : As we do this 🗿times

Maybe we will see Kid’s adventure on Elbaph and find more about JOYBOY as a giant

Lmaooo yet people saying awakened kaido can defeat joyboy 🤣🤣🤣the man is history itself, can only imagine how powerful he is.

Imagine a big giant rubber haki infused man f***in shit up 900 years ago 😳

Whoever joy boy was I can tell you one thing His will was passed up from roger Shanks to loofy

bro i swear,the reason why luffy would destroy fishman island was so they could go up to the surface,if thats not it i dont know what is

I wonder if the person inspiring Joy Boy is Jesus? Luffy is like the second coming of JoyBoy, just like how Jesus will return.

he wasnt a giant, he is same race as kuma (kuma isnt human he has his own race, and he is the last)

Joyboy is NOT nika, nika is an ancient times God which has a devil fruit associated with him. Through ages, people with great will were chosen by the nika's fruit and supposedly saved the people of their time, appearing in white like gear 5 Luffy so that's why there is a legend about the warrior of liberation. Joyboy was the precedent warrior of liberation which failed against world gov.

The hito hito no mi model nika hasn't been AWAKENED in 800 years, nothing about if its power hasn't been used in 800 years...there could have been 6 maybe 10 previous users between Luffy ans Joyboy

1st one is a little wrong as oda had already given the hint about the joyboy and his kingdom in the robin's past

You need to update this video to included the recent chapters.

Make a bet guys ....joyboy will be detailed in enbalf arc ...

hes not a giant, on the new mangá... Ah go see yourself

Liffy will travel back in time 900 years that's why he himself is joyboy because he was there and knows he will make things right in his time after he changed the timeline by going back in time and failing most likely getting killed my Imu

He’s the first pirate

100% Shanks found the fruit and intentionally placed it close to Luffy so he would eat it. Shanks knows a lot more than everyone on One Piece, hell im willing to bet that he wants Luffy to defeat Imu and bring down the World Gov. corruption

If he was a giant then maybe we will learn more about joyboy and maybe find the location of the last road ponegliff in elbaf

Lmao and people act like the creator planned this forced in character after a time skip 😂

I think this guy skipped skypea arc... Joyboy was teased before 2 year timeskip...😂😂😂

I think there will be some time traveling and luffy is joyboy from 900 years ago
