"Shirohebi" or White Snake with smoker really remind me of a fun WW2 story with Brazil's troops and the whole "A cobra vai fumar" phrase origin (it means "The snake will/shall smoke"), which is something you say when something is hard to do and will be a pain in the ass even after it is done. During WW2, Brazil was a very neutral country for quite a while, it used its neutrality to make deals with both sides of the war that were trying to rope Brazil into their side, so it wasn't a surprise that the sentiment about Brazil going to war with anyone was very pessimistic, "it's easier for a snake to smoke than for Brazil to enter the war" was a phrase commonly said at the time, and although Brazil had an expeditionary force, no one put much faith in it going out nevermind actually completing a mission there. Brazil eventually sent said force to Italy to contribute he Allies war efforts and somehow completed the mission given to them(important to mention that they didn't have good training, equipment or environment. Not even the other nation's soldiers put faith in them). From 25000 recruited men, around 24550 returned alive, from then on, the smoking snake became the symbol of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, they to this day call themselves the "Smoking Snakes". Which is very on point with Smoker having a snake as the animal representing him as an admiral.
Has oda ever said where smoker would be from in the real world? (Like the straw hats). After reading this it wouldnt surprise me if he said brazil considering how he does everything for a reason. Although the fact that his epithet isnt white snake puts a bit of a bumper in that idea.
@@diablejambe3460 sadly we haven't had any confirmations for the nationalities of the Marines yet. I hope Oda will tell us the nationalities for them and other side characters from different arcs, like Skypeia and Impel Down, as well as the nationalities for the Warlords
@@Vaul. Its assumed he climbed through the ranks normally, so he was an admiral at one point in the past. I guess the "rule" applies mostly to present day admirals, with Fujitora being the sole exception in that case.
@@worthyedge9307 I was thinking about the post timeskip, I kinda forgot the pre timeskip fights. The thing is that, to most people, Smoker is still at the level of a normal pre timeskip fighter but we know that that isn't true because he leads the toughest marine branch in the New World. Smoker needs a moment of triumph to really get his level on the post timeskip level of strength, we know he can't win against Luffy anymore but I'm pretty sure that Nami can beat Smoker if she tries, which is absurd for a character that is built around being a tough strong guy.
@@afeathereddinosaur idk I still say its jumping the shark to say that smoker is just going to stay how we saw him last time lol And nah he definitely wasn't normal fighter level in pre timeskip. He wasn't the absolute strongest for sure, but we even see him handling pretty fairly easily handling pirates from the new world. And it is fairly well established that even kinda background characters in the new world are pretty strong, as they are able to do things like damage a pacifista
we do tho he is one of my favorite characters and he really needs a moment to he can beat some main villians as a matter of fact i think that if smoker stayed in alabasta he could have beaten crocodile because his smoke does not really have a weakness while crocodile's sand does which is water
I think that since Smoker can control the smoke that he creates, he would be able to make it dense enough to manipulate objects or capture people with it without using Haki.
I think he was shown doing that. He grabbed a glass of wine or something. He can also use it to hit others or push them as far as I remember, although you could say that was his actual hand when he uses smoke abilities to "stretch" like Luffy (or better yet, get detached like Buggy).
@@robcarlton2341 I think I remember him with a glass in a room full of smoke, while building a house of cards. Then a marine stepped in and the cards fell over. Smoker seemed angry but it was an emergency or something. Been years since I watched it so I don't remember.
8:24 Smoker was one of the coolest smoking characters/portrayal of smoking I had seen in a "modern" show. With Smoker's design, fruit and character I do think it would be a bit of a waster if he didn't get a power-up/return to the story.
I could see Smoker fighting Luffy or fighting along side Luffy to rescue Koby against Black Beard. I think it would be great to see his and Tashigi's growth in the story tbh.
Smoker got bodied by Luffy in PANK HAZARD, many many chapters ago in BASE, there is no universe in which Smoker does anything to Gear 5 Luffy, or even the base one. Unless Smoker has awakened his fruit, he'd still lose badly though.
Except it’s be like probably 2-3 months and after that, law, and Doffy destroying him I think he would have had a training arc trying to get his awakening even
@@Billy_Herrington1969 To be fair, Smoker uses the same techniques every fight. He spreads his body around his opponent to confuse them but it's a major weakness against haki. Most of the arc in Punk Hazard, Smoker is protecting his crew and Tashigi. Hopefully, we'll actually see new techniques other than just smoke punch.
I believe people like Smoker, Lucci, Crocodile have gotten stronger greatly but the Strawhats have gone to a whole new lvl. The Strawhats literally faced the Yonko crews.
This really makes me think. Luffy has the first Zoan fruit, Buggy has the first Paramecia fruit and Smoker has the first Logia fruit. Luffy is a good guy who brings smiles to the down trodden, Buggy makes the villains in his crew smile (barring Mihawk and Crocodile) and Smoker is one of the few good Marines who fights for the general public and makes THEM smile. Additional: they're almost like the 'comedy trio'. Luffy: toon physics Buggy: cartoon reattaching from severe attacks Smoker: leaving a 'cloud of Smoke' behind him for escapes.
An important thing to remember is that smoke is a suspension of particles in a gas released when something combusts. While we aren't sure yet what a logia awakening would look like, I think a possibility for Smoker's fruit would be that he can make his smoke particles and/or whatever he touches to be combustible and then control the smoke released from the reaction. That would make his fruit stupidly powerful offensively since he can just make anything explode but also he'd make an absurd amount of smoke that he can then control.
Imagine if there was a Cloud Logia. You can do rain, storms, and lightning etc. Also, they could make the "water" clouds in addition to the ideal clouds from skypiea: String, Iron, Milky, and island cloud!
I think smoke could be used to make rain or lightning. If clouds are just vapor beading up onto airborne particles, smoke provides the particles. Send warm smoke to a high altitude it will cool and form clouds. Or you can make two smoke plumes, one be positively charged and one negative and viola! Cloud to cloud lightning. Smokers best attack is probably asphyxiation. Just fill a space with smoke instead of air like Caesar clown did.
@@Xodreev nah clouds are more or less the polar opposite of smoke since they come from water while smoke comes from fire (burning something). his awakening could maybe be black smoke or something, like a more harmful way of smoke
@@falcosugott6866 Yeah, it just feels like Smoker has been underwhelming since Punk Hazard. Idk, just hoping Oda gives him something more by end of the series. 🤷♂️
Smoker's smoke really seems more like fog to me. Unless if there's instances where people that breathe in smokers smoke actually have trouble breathing since smoke is particles that inhibit breathing whereas fog is basically wet air
You know why I like Tekking101. He's authentic. He doesn't have really any Call to Actions. He doesn't have sponsors. And he just, keeps things interesting in the beginning the Failure to Cut, Tekking Tumble, Barrie the indomitable brick. Just random stuff, that makes no real sense, stuff that should send new viewer's away. Just nice change of pace from most other tubers.
Smoker and Tashigi said they were taking the giant kids to see Dr Vegapunk so that means they might run into the Straw Hat pirates on Egghead Island and that means rematches with Luffy VS Smoker and Zoro VS Tashigi.
I always imagine that logia awakening allows you to control your respective element as it exists naturally. Smoker could then surround himself and even fuse with that smoke. Even if you use haki there would be no way of telling apart the smoke that makes up Smokers body and the natural smoke from a random fire that he is manipulating. You could punch him with haki but the part you punch could just be natural smoke. This would explain punk hazard, as Akainu could control Magma at the Earth's core, he could bring it up to the surface causing volcanic eruptions and creating volcanic activity. Aokiji could control ice in the clouds and air and could cause giant hail clouds to linger above the battlefield creating aemi-petmanent blizzards. Kizaru could control all light around him, he could block all light from an area creating ares of blackness were no light exist making it impossible to see or areas of extreme blinding light, he could generate light beams from any source of light he sees allowing him to attack an opponent's blind spot. Logia awakenings are something I am and have been waiting for, for a long time and coyld be a huge game changer when it come to power scaling. If Akainu could manipulate magma at the Earth's core then it really makes sense why his would have the greatest offensive potential as has been stated. The guy could literally just cause the ground below you to erupt with magma, he could create whole new islands, heck he could destroy the world by erupting it's core. The possibilities are endless and logia awakening could help Smoker finally get some W's.
Just gonna throw out that Kizaru (or a previous user of the pika pika no mi) could have awakened it and caused the everlasting daytime at Enies Lobby. Also Kizaru's fruit is already busted so he doesn't even need even more hax lol
@@Malcolm-xz3ef that's a tough one. Most lightning actually comes from the ground, so I assume he could summon lightning bolts from the ground. If we use him powering his ship then his fruit seems more like electricity than lightning. Perhaps he could absorb electricity in the surrounding area. If we go really out there than it could be some form of electro magnetism. He could potentially charge magnetic materials, cause things to float, he could use iron rich substances as Tesla coils and create a massive web of interconnected electricity, allowing him to redirect lightning bolts. All that magnetic charge would likely attract atmospheric lightning creating lightning clouds as well. The terrain would eventually resemble parts of the land of lightning from Naruto. Unfortunately, in a world less reliant on electricity his fruit wouldn't be too much more powerful, in our world he would be god. Creating emp's destroying electrical systems, absorbing electricity and powering machines etc. Hope he returns, he was my favourite antagonist.
@@ColourizeTheStreets aye I appreciate the well thought out reply brodie,you should make a channel cuz you’ve got some interesting view points/ theories and Enel is one of my favorite antagonist as well can’t wait to see him come back
As good a time as any to ask this. Why do some people say Aokiji's fruit is not actually ice itself, just because the name of his fruit (Hie-Hie) means chilly or cold? Enel's fruit is called the "rumble-rumble" fruit for the sound that thunder makes, even though his power is electricity, not just its sound. Robin's power is called "flower-flower" even though it has nothing to do with plants, and its just because of the way her limbs "sprout" out of surfaces, like flowers. And as we're seeing here, Smoker's power is called the "billow" or "plume" fruit, which doesn't necesarily reffer to smoke itself. The point is Oda sometimes takes liberties with the way he names the fruits, the name isn't always a literal description of the power, yet through the years I've seen many people claim that Aokiji's fruit is not "ice", just "cold", because of the fruit's name.
Because he doesnt JUST make ice. He can also freeze preexisting liquids and make snow on things which reinforces the idea that it is the concept of cold not the concept of just ice. He froze a giant stretch of ocean into a solid block of ice. That could not be done by just spreading created ice throughout the water, he froze the water itself. like you proved in your comment some fruits are based of concept, like the "Flower-Flower" fruit being about seeds sprouting and blooming anywhere (carried by the wind, water, animals, etc.) but with yourself being the flower.
You know when we meet Rodger in the Oden flash back and you see him say something like. "If you want to catch me send Garp or Sengoku" I bet near the end we will have a similar situation with Luffy saying "if you want to catch me send Coby or Smokey"
I appreciate you keeping us on our toes by not going straight for the obvious penguin facts and instead blindsiding us with porygon facts and digimon history
Correction. The reveal of Kurroseki, seasprism, wasn't until Alabasta, when they were caged in the Croco-Cage. That's when Smoker reveals the existence of Seaprism and reveals that the tip of his weapon is made of it.
Was dreaming of having the moku moku power, wielding tridents made from seastone, and nets laced with seastone weights to snare foes. Had to come straight here, love you Tekking!
I wonder if smoker had a sensing ability, it would be like Narancias ability in jojo where he can sense carbon dioxide, since that's what Smoke is made of.
When I open youtube after leaving work and wait for the videos to refresh I think "It'll prob be another new tekking video that's recommended first on my feed" and I was right!
Since Whitesnake was popular back in the 80's over here in Japan, it would make sense to be used as a code mame of Smoker. We still haven't seen Rainbow and Black Sabbath though
Actually in One piece pirate warriors 4 I remember Smoker having a move called "white snake". You activate it by pressing light melee button once then strong melee button. He creates a snake of smoke with one arm and sins it around traping enemies in it.
Always really liked smoker from the very beginning. Yeah hes not quite up there anymore in terms of strength but thats fine since strength isnt everything. And ive also always really liked tashigi as well so im happy whenever they make an appearance. Hope to see them again soon.
He is stronger than he was when we first met him, it is simply that we are now in the part of the world where the strongest pirates are now being shown.
Another reason the name White Snake works as an admiral title as it fits with the Chinese zodiac theme the other admirals and higher up in the marines have. Side note, kinda sad you’re not doing platypus facts for the letter P. You could have used the Perry the Platypus theme for the intro.
Which is why Tensei, the new marine guy that appeared a few chapters ago, fits as well. His codename is Kurouma (Black Horse). Although we don't know if he has a vice-admiral rank aside from his internal affairs job. I wonder what his devil fruit is with that color.
The Smoker vs. Ace fight ending in a draw is another result of Haki not being properly established until around the timeskip. If the ideas for Haki were cemented in stone back then, and Oda knew that he wanted Ace to use it, there's no reason their fight would've gone in any direction other than Ace's victory. However, at the same time, I could easily see the exchange as Ace playing with Smoker, he wasn't going to take him out when he can be used to teach Luffy a valuable lesson about logia's.
Smoker is just such an awesome character. One of my favorite marines for sure. In one piece tcg set two paramount war. Black leader Smoker is pretty good.
Honestly it comes down to Smoker is just not strong enough to maximize the fruits potential yet. He could be an even more effective logia if he had bet Observation to deploy the maneuvering ability that Katakuri and the Admirals use to avoid haki attacks. As a gas his versatility is great than more solid logias, similar to Ceasar's pitfalls with the Gas fruit.
I'm assuming there's a cloud fruit somewhere out there. Would it be basically the same as the smoke fruit or maybe even a superior version due to having more variety in this world?
I can imagine Smoker's Awakening being similar to the Fog of London Noble Phantasm of Jack the Ripper from Fate/Apocrypha, which covers the landscape in a paralytic poison cloud that slowly renders you immobile until you're just a sitting duck for Jack's onslaught of attacks (Jack having one of the highest Agility scores of any Servant) making it REAL scary in extended fights.
im a cigar and pipe smoker, i smoked my first cigar when i was 14, during a doctors check he said i could become 7´2 tall and i didnt wanted that, and while i knew that smoking will influence my grow i got myself a cheap gas stations cigar and smoked it, also i liked it, after i had my first cigar i looked out for smoking in tv and movies, being facinated by it,
Hey, what are your thoughts about the relationship between DF are as the result of people's desire and klabauterman(merry) as a result of sailors love for a ship.
I think Smoker will be like Garp, never becoming an Admiral because he doesn't want the responsibility. He already was known for staying Captain on purpose.
Should have gone with Pangolins for the animal, given they are both extremely weird, extremely cool, and actually exist. Porygon is a total cop out. Interesting to hear about, but it being a fake animal makes it feel very odd. Otherwise a great video. I've always wondered if Smoker can choose what kind of smoke he is, because that could have a lot of applications based on the types of burnt stuff he could be.
I actually wonder if there are other logia fruits like the Smoke Smoke fruit. Like one for fog or steam, (basically cold and hot water vapor), or maybe even air. Ok, the Gas Gas fruit basically covers air as well, but one specifically that turns you into thin invisible air. There are quiet a few elements Oda hasn't tapped into. Probably won't see any of them thought, since we are so close to the end. Except, maybe Monkey D. Dragon, but his powers are more Wind or Storm related, and I think it will be a logia power. So that might actually be a power based around air.
I think when it comes to the entire Smoker if he can ignore the effects of smoke, you also have to wonder if that’s a constant with every other logia. Can Ace and Akainu be immune to heat and any burns? How about Aokiji and Monet? I would say it can since Monet with how she dressed and seemed just fine. But then there is Ace and Akainu who are shirtless or in Hawaiian shirts. Since if that was the case, everything would feel cold to them. So your mileage with them will be dependent on what you eat.
id say it would not make you just feel colder because you ate a logia fruit based on heat just that you ignore the ill effects of heat so you can go to a desert in a Hawaii shirt or even a winter jacket and it feel the same to you as being in a room temperature room with that outfit (or something along those lines) not that everything feels cold to you though sunbunes might still be a issue maybe idk i could not really see someone like Aokiji dealing with frostbite cause he did not wear a warm enough jacket though ya i assume mileage still varies depending on power of base fruit
We know certain Logia abilities allow you to ignore weather conditions related to it, precisely because the elements themselves are immune to them. Fire and magma aren't affected by high temperatures around them, so the user's won't either. Sakazuki and Sabo would probably be able to walk around in the heat of a desert or a volcanic area without even sweating. But snow and ice would quicklly melt, so their users are weak to it instead. And it works the other way around too. Monet was comfortable walking around in the cold part of Punk Hazard, wearing very little clothing, even though everyone else had to wear winter clothes. And it would likely be the same for Aokiji.
answering the question in the video, No ti didnt affected me in any way, the reason i started smoking was because of how many door it opens to a young guy trying to escale in this wolrd, i ONLY smoke when i see a group of people i work with. and trust me it work to a certain digree
Tekking I’ve been smoking since I’m very young, nowadays I don’t smoke that much but everytime sanji gets a scene smoking I swear to god I light up a cig.
I love the fact that he has cigars all over his body, also maybe he smokes alot to maintain all his smoke powers or to boost it even if it is just a little bit
Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei came out in 1987 (Granddaddy of the SMT and Persona games) and that's as far as I know, the first game with "digital" monsters/demons summoned through a computer program.
I would love to see an alternate version of One Piece where Luffy steals smokers weapon back then and uses it as a staff like wukong. As like a mobility tool to maneuver with, along with using the seaprism to hit. Imagine him getting a weapon upgrade from ussop that expands like the Kabuto.
In my fan one piece, there is an admiral who has eaten the Joki Joki no mi the Steam Fruit it's a Logia and has Conquerors Haki I called him Admiral Abraham
31:57 Based on pokemon Legends of Arceus Electrode is actually probably a naturally occurring. This is hinted at by the fact that past versions of these Pokémon existed and they were electric grass type Pokémon with seeds and stuff in them along with some interesting pokedex entries. This would imply that Electrode originally started as some sort of Pokémon plant that began to resemble pokeballs. Which makes a lot of sense in a way when you consider pokeballs are made from Apricorns.
I mean if you want to get super technical, the light novel Digital Devil Story, which later spawned the Megami Tensei, Shin Megami Tensei, and Persona games, came out in 1987 and was all about a high schooler that attempted to summon demons through a computer, a digital devil (that eventually killed all his classmates). Which technically would make Loki the first Digimon. Even though I'm sure if we look even further, we could probably find even older examples of digital monsters. Was there monsters in Tron??
Tekking101 can u make a separate vid on hina she’s like my top 3 fav woman characters in OP agl also def one of my fav marines and talking bout her character personality design df powers etc would be coo.
when you burn something clean it has white smoke, the more unclean something is the darker the smoke think plastic or rubber but something like wood burns white smoke
Alternative/additional uses for some devil fruits..the smoke smoke fruit..create smoke clones, suffocating enemies, hidden stealth attacks,damage avoidance,infiltration/misdirection tactics..rumble rumble fruit liquify and manipulate certain metals like a kazekage manipulates sand..can augment with haki when using as weapons..magma magma fruit..form razor sharp super heated obsidian shuriken/spikes or other weapons..coat with haki for extra effectiveness
