“Blackbeard’s dream is to be able to experience dreams…endlessly. Which makes sense for a man that never sleeps, and therefore, cannot dream on his own” 🔥🔥🔥
Blackbeard never said that lol the man told Ace “Do you want to join me? Let’s take over the world together. I’ve made my plans to rise to the top. Whitebeard era is over, I will become king of the pirates.” Then in 1080 he said “I’ll make pirate island a full-fledged nation.” Koby said that won’t work and then BB said “don’t piss on someone’s dreams.” His dream is to make pirate island a nation and be king of the pirates as stated by BB lol. This may not be the end of his dream but from what he said that’s his dream for now.
@John Smith yea he never said that but guess what, thats why its a theory. We dont know the full extent of luffy or blackbeards dreams but its fun to speculate what they might be.
@@JohnSmith-yn9ju remember what he said peoples dreams dont end haha are you sure you know the full scope of the dream? think about this. if he wanted to make pirate island a full fledged nation why personally threaten to sink marineford? seems contradictory. it seems like you didnt watch the video cuz I addressed that in how a king that's a part of the world government csnt also be dabbling in taboos like the poneglyphs. he has to be going one or the other OR something greater and that would explain the blackbeard pirates debut isand 😈
@@JohnSmith-yn9ju Pre timeskip BB joined the warlords because they got privelages that he could use to help him become pirate king. Perhaps being a nation recognised by the WG makes doing certain things much easier. An actual King is unlikely to be chased around the world by the WG, he can move around the Grand Line without having to worry about Seraphim or Admirals plus he'd have leverage to use the WGs resources to help him in his ends, whatever they are. His vision of the new era is unique. He is willing to try and cooperate with anyone, even if their ultimate goals are ultimately incompatible, so long as their roads align temporarily.
Never thought about how the devil fruits Blackbeard gave his crew just developed on what the world told them they already were, such a cool observation
@@Parvision-what do you think on the theory of BB being 3 people which simply explain he has 3 faces flag, 3 beards, 3 guns, and everything he has is 3 things, which explains he doesn't sleep, and will eat 3 devil fruits?
I want the identification manual to be a real thing, like merch or something that shows us what all the devil fruits we haven't seen yet look like, maybe some that haven't appeared in the story even etc.
blackbeard being a dream eater when he's the guy who doesn't sleep is narratively fitting and poetic. taking in so many devil fruits would be the perfect way for him to lose, and an inverse to nightmare luffy (luffy took in the shadows, bb's shadow takes in everyone's light) and what fits so perfectly with this is that i've always thought that BB's end would be in drowning, dying in the deep darkness of the sea. having multiple devil fruit powers would mean he'd become so powerless in the sea, and his darkness fruit would amplify the pain, which i think would be a perfect and fitting end for BB
I have a relatively weak, but still somewhat plausible, explanation for how BB could expect his crew to awaken so quickly after getting their fruits. If we look at them, the big one gets the giant fruit, the strong one gets the strength fruit, and the sick one gets the sick fruit. They got fruits that already line up well with what they are. If we go based off the notion that fruits awaken when their user's body and mind catch up to their fruit, then these three don't have far to go to catch up since they already are so specialized in what their fruit is about. Unfortunately, this doesn't hold up so well for many of the other crew members from what we know about them so far. An argument can be made, but idk how strong of one
I feel like all that matched up with all of blackbeards knowledge of devil fruits makes it even easier then. Since most people seem to just eat them without knowing wtf they do or are, a specific understanding of the fruits nature would help you align with it even quicker.
When you sit back and think you do realize how monstrous that is that you can still live and never sleep. Becuase normal humans literally need sleep to recover to full health. Which means blackbeard has some kind of energy sources that keeps him strong and healthy at all times to the point he doesn't have to ever sleep
26:01 page 4 chapter 894 Luffy says his observation haki is so good because he understands people. Maybe letting people get the first hit is how BB understands people, though experiencing pain, kinda like Nothing Happened.
This is a great theory. You made a point at the end about Blackbeard wanted to protect everyones dream by taking it onto himself. That would make perfect sense as to why he is seen as a "they" as well.
Par, your analysis never fails to impress me. You have such a unique and beautiful way of interpreting this grand story, and I especially love the way you contrasted the blackbeard pirates with the strawhats’ own views on negativity.
People like to point at Hody Jones as being a bad villain, but thematically, I think he is so so important not just for his arc but for foreshadowing and understanding the three big bads of the series: Blackbeard, Akainu, and Imu. Blackbeard is an empty man, a VOID man, a man unable to dream for himself. This is literally Hody - a Fishman whose entire existence is dedicated to the dream of destroying humans, not out of a personal grudge, but the cultural grudge he's adopted/stolen from others. Fukuboshi even climactically reveals that "Hody is entirely empty... There is so substance within him". Akainu on the other hand, likely has a very good reason for despising pirates so much. His zealotism and hatred is probably earned, yet it is the same unreasonable, blind hatred that Hody demonstrates in Fishman Island. Hody killing any Fishman who sides with humans perfectly mirrors Akainu's brutal willingness to kill any Marine or innocent life that even remotely aides Pirates. Finally, we have Imu, and while the least is known about Imu, I'd wager that the struggle between races we see take place in Fishman Island, the strange all-white transformation Hody becomes resembling Gear-5, and the "betrayal of his own kind" that Hody commits by killing Otohime, will all factor heavily into Imu's plotline.
A minor detail but at 3.55 since we sleep for 1/3 of the day , or at least we should be , then blackbeard would have the experience of roughly an 52 year old , or less because most people dont sleep 8 hours or more , not a 78 old . Great video and very interesting ideas thrown though
Dude Blackbeard being the one who eats dreams cause he could never dream is so so good. Oda is a genius I hope his story gets it's rightful conclusion so it can sit atop fiction as the best ever.
Wasn’t Blackbeard character model supposed to have sisters ? Maybe he gave them up in the past and got them killed, in which is why it was easy for him to play the role on white beards ship to gain what he wants?
My favorite "nothing happened" theory is that since Luffy woke up after the fight fully refreshed with his friends telling him 'literally nothing happened' Luffy's imagination then led him to believe that's how his body recovers damage after a small 30 min nap.
The Dark Dark fruit could actually be a God fruit just like Luffy's, Zoan fruits are the ones that search for their users. You can make a pretty good argument about Buggy also having a God fruit, since he never intended to eat it but the fruit had other plans
yuppp I have a video saying buggy has a god fruit: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ybxtqc2CweE.html and what god fruit blackbeards might have if he has one. itd be forest god imo which kind of even fits in this context as we get forest of the ancestors and devil fruits wud come from trees and hed house them all
Blackbeard is the opposite side of the same coin of Luffy, one can almoat take it as a certainty that his fruit is also the opposite to Luffy's. Noe about Buggy, he is a gag character. Irrelevant to the story and the main battles, his fruit is not a Zoan type and him unintentionally eating it doesn't make it one. Stop with the dickriding.
@@osmanhadzalic9060 wtf are you talking about, have you not read chapter 1082? Buggy is as relevant as the other Emperors, especially with the possibility the end game Cross Guild will have recruited all of the Warlords some way or another. Buggy is in no way shape or form a joke anymore, he's a legit Emperor
@@skndr3067 some Emperor hey? He'd lose to any post time skip character in existence. He is a gag just like mr Satan in DBZ. However he won't have the same impact in the end like mr Satan had.
@@osmanhadzalic9060 i don't know I didn't watch DBZ. But, Buggy doesn't need strength, he has an ability similar to Luffy to attract people. All the Haki an Emperor has, Buggy compensates with luck. The fact that Mihawk and Croc joined his crew is nothing short of a miracle, and he will use their strength and IQ to the most potential. Considering that Shanks is death flagged by Blackbeard means there will be only 5 key players in the end: Luffy, Blackbeard, the revolutionaries, the Gov, and Buggy But I can say anything and you glue eating power scalers that only watch/read One Piece for the fights will never understand
Blackbeards teeth supports your theory of him taking attacks. We know milk restores bones and fixed teeth in OP. He’s constantly in fights getting them knocked out, and repairing with milk.
I've always said that whenevr we find out what Luffy's dream is, the Jaya quote will definitely come back around and hit us like a truck, or rather a Gura fist to the face, and just like how blackbeard took it to understand the power before stealing it, we will have to taoe the whiplash of forshadowing before truly understanding what Oda is cooking. Whether it be though Dream Eating or though some Punk Records Joyboy Memory madness, that line has a more literal element to it which is why I sense a "I am the future flash" esque moment on the way soon.
Really good video i only missed Fukuro when talking about Blackbeard absorbing the pain to powerscale/ understand his crew and opponents. Fukuro could powerscale all of CP9 by getting kicked. It's also logical why Blackbeard did not let himself get kicked by Boa he was afraid to take the gamble. Boa's power effectivly blocks all electrical signals in the bodypart she turns to stone.
I like the idea that Blackbeard cancels memories to take devil fruit powers away from its user. This notion also aligns with Vegapunk experimenting on Kuma and being able to produce artificial devil fruits. Perhaps he learned how Kuma physically manifest memories to extract users' memories about devil fruits they have eaten. We know Vegapunk can replicate devil fruits (i.e., memories) without the user being dead (similar to what Kuma did with Luffy in Thriller Bark). If this is true, when Blackbeard says his devil fruit can absorb pain, he actually means his devil fruits can absorb memories (which contain [mostly] pain as most flash-back we have seen so far are sad and filled with pain).
screenshotted. gonna post as a short thats actually perfect haha also bb so goofy for saying he can absorb it when we saw him eat literal ass when wb slashed him. lmfao that's like me saying I'm immune to lightning and ending up like sanji after he took the blast lol
Par you are CRACKED I love this theory. 33:49 this whole length talking about how black beard is able to use black vortex because of memories and connecting it to Enel just blew my gourd to smithereens
Bro the video just started and you’re already speaking major facts, that’s an inspiration for someone looking to write scripts for their own RU-vid videos
Personally black beaded absorbing his crew would be pretty bad I like when the whole crew gets there own individual fights with all unique personalities and powers
they'll get those moments, blackbeard needs them all to awaken doesnt he? muahaha you dont pick fruits until they're ripe right? blackbeard gonna go apple picking when it's in season
Luffy is always the last to win...If Blackbeard does decide to go that route, I think he'd do it during the final battle after his crew has already been defeated by the straw hats..
I have this feeling that blackbeard will be able transfer DF powers from a DF user to a regular fruit, turning it to a DF and without killin the user. He will have this ability after awakening his powers. With this, he can shuffle the DF powers of his crew and/or use it as a business to gain wealth.
I think the perfect final battle would be Luffy vs Blackbeard on Laugh Tale. Luffy using the imagination aspect of his power to emulate the abilities and techniques of all the allies and foes he's fought against/alongside, symbolizing his entire journey and the ambitions and dreams of everyone he's met on the way. While Teach absorbs his crew into his darkness physically absorbing their ambitions and powers into himself, the product of his hard work and scheming finally coming into throughition. One who nurtures ambition and the other who cultivates it.
That was the whole reason blackbeard waited so long and killed his fellow crew member for that specific devil fruit because the awakened ability of negating the soul binding of the fruit there by allowing multiple devils into one body
is it likely blackbeard had awakened his fruit before the timeskip though? blackbeard did eat his fruit during the beginning of the story so he could not have had it that long since we know not much time passes in one piece
This video made me realize a power of the darkness fruit. 1. It lets you do the impossible, and know what is in the hearts of others, particularly the darkness that resides in them. 2. It lets you understand how darkness shapes their minds, creating their "fate". 3. Like with celestial bodies, it helps you plot out their courses in the future, even in a complex world. 4. This is why Blackbeard has difficulty predicting Luffy, because he has so much light to conquer his own darkness with.
it was! but I've been trying to work out a fun new style and this video had so many really cool moments where the scenes matched the script in such a cool way. I'm so glad I went through the hassle of this style haha thank you for taking the moment to appreciate it for me haha definitely gonna keep trying to improve on it and make it better
It makes so much sense that even in the opposite parallel between luffy and teech that his fruit didn’t end up in his hand. Luffys is a fruit of kindness and liberation, of course the fruit would go to no one but him. Teech however, his is a fruit of darkness, inherently evil, he wants to rule over and oppress the world. I feel that fruit would test whoever it deems worthy. It was put in the hands of a close comrade, and teech passed the test by killing his brother for what he’s desired this whole time. No qualms whatsoever of murdering thatch, this was his goal the whole time.
🤔💭 the parallels u made w/ thriller bark between light, dark, respect 🫡, and luffy’s 😊 smile that eats away peoples sadness & trades it for freedom. But it comes at the cost of putting himself in tremendous pain. Your análisis & breakdown was spot on 👍👌
burning light, consuming darkness… the future and past… i wonder what lies in the place in between? True nothingness… true presence… Dude your analysis blew my mind… from it‘s linguistic form to it’s content.. the pictures you paint with your words are beautiful and just shows how overwhelmingly amazing One Piece is…. ❤
"Learning is set to be an enlightening experience which is why we learn the most in our darkest moments. The question you need to answer for yourself is whether you're shaped by the light around you or the shadow left behind you. Perspective is important as you walk through life because often times the people who make it to the top are the ones who either have an understanding of themselves or the world around them. Either way leads you to shape yourself for the journey that allows you to see a vision that only the greatest can see and grab the dream that's made available through a combination of factors that include fate and luck. The kind of people that have this kind of understanding one way or another won't let the world distract them with false promises, beat them down with petty insults, or stop them from reaching their utmost potential." That's grown man talk right there! 🤝🔥
You literally became one of my favourite One Piece youtubers in such a small time frame. I love this video, so much so that I can't really put it into words. Love the way you think and the way you see things most ppl wouldn't connect. Keep up the incredible work man, bravo
I’m not sure if this has anything to do with anything but vegapunks head being an apple drawing information for the devil fruit maybe has a connection to smile fruits which are apples
This is like Infinite Tsukoyumi in Naruto except the plan was to create a peaceful world where everyone becomes a robot whereas here it's to allow everyone to dream endlessly, who knows how so that he can remain at the top.
I think its extremely likely that Blackbeard, like Kuma, is part Buccaneer which would partly explain why his body functions differently from normal humans
The reason why Blackbeard is a better end villain than Imu is because, as you said, he can potentially absorb all powers. If Imu has some power, then Blackbeard can steal it.
If you consider the fact that Rocks D Xebec's also gathered a crew of very strong individuals which didn't really work together or had a bond with each other, with the sole purpose to also consume them in the long run. That would also draw a parallel to Garp + Roger vs Rock's and Ruffy (+ Coby?) vs Blackbear. That would make Ruffy the reincarnation of Roger who was too early, and Blackbeard as Xebecs, who also didn't quite manage to consume his crew, so maybe the second god valley accident will be the true god valley accident with Ruffy being just in time and not too early and blackbeard managing to consume his crew. Although it would be quite weird that Garp etc. didn't recognize Blackbeards dark fruit as Xebec's fruit at Marineford.
Black beard is speed running dreams, from joining the strongest crew to getting 2 of the strongest devil fruit, becoming a pirate captain, a warlord, an emperor, a king. After that he's got pirate king and world noble. Next thing you know he drops it all and joins the marines grinding his way to the rank of admiral lolol
According to this theory, there's no limit to how many devil fruits blackbeard can take. And he would have his crew developp devil fruits and their awakening just so that he can take them all in the end. In that case, Imu won't be the final villain. I could even see Imu get 1-hit by Blackbeard. That would make an amazing climax with Blackbeard being the final vilain of One Piece, which would require an entire war with all characters making an alliance together with Luffy to fight him, and the only possible way to get rid of him would be to send him to the depths of the ocean.
wow Parvision. That was not only well written, it was straight up inspirational. i saw this being a video about Teach and was like " Yoo treat lightly.." as he's ony of my favourite OP chars (lol) But you outdid yourself! Man, how many pages of text was that tho? You're talking for 57 minutes!! Did you write a book? ^^; I wonder if Blackbeard really had 2 sisters, whom he couldn't save because of a wrong decision...
20 pages single spaced LMAO i really appreciate you taking the time to write this to me! I'm glad you enjoyed this, i think Oda is going to end up creating one of the most eye-opening antagonists in a while with blackbeard. Its no wonder blackbeard is alot of peoples favorite characters, but honestly when King Recon came onto my stream and told me how much of an impact Blackbeard made on him in Jaya, I more heavily realized what this character was capable of. and I agree, i need to know what blackbeards foundation was. How parralleled was it to luffy because all you have to do to luffys backstory is tweak 1 thing and all of a sudden, you get a whole new character. really says alot about how impactful people can be in your life especially for children.
@@Parvision- 20 pages!!! that's wild. ( you could add some cool fanart here and there to get to 28-30 pages - and sell that as booklets on anime conventions as Parvision collectibles haha ) keep up the great work!
This is the best BB video I ever seen, the first 40min is heritage in theory, that whole taking the first hit to analyze how strong the opponent is, such a great idea I can't imagine another route.. SWhy he never allowed Boa. Dude nice video🔥
You know memories playing an important part makes a lot of sense given the first ending song of one piece is literally named memories, a loose connection ik but still
Wait but unironically it actually does... if he is meant to be a black hole that absorbs light and he is supposed to have a different type of gravity than the sun(luffy) then technically he has a sort of 4th dimensional gravity due to the 4th dimension being time, which is why he not only never sleeps but seems to have fate on his side in every encounter, cause in some twisted sense of the word, blackbeard IS fate, or at least the idea of it, like the freedom personification that is Luffy! Bro this is another layer on their eventual clash if blackbeard actually does have some sort of fate/time related power. Fitting that Luffy has Conquerors and Future Sight cause he might really need it!
But wait, he's also a dream eater so if he is SOMEHOW an awakened CLOCK CLOCK MAN then not only does he never sleep but he perpetually keeps people "asleep" or in a state of constant dreaming with both chance of actually reaching a conclusion or achieving a goal because the alarm never goes up and the sun never rises. Luffy is always the ALARM that uncovers all the evil deeds of the villain bringing the dawn and waking people up from the nightmare(or infinite tsukyomi in dressrosa's case) that they are trapped in unknowingly. "Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the the same"
It's funny u say the whole "how come Blackbeards fruit didn't just go STRAIGHT to Blackbeard??" You could even think about " why did Luffys fruit not just go STRAIGHT to Luffy?!?" Thanks for pointing out that small, but important detail !!! Never even thought of that point. Cus if it went straight to Blackbeard he prolly would've killed whiteboard at one point and take over his whole crew type shit or something.
The fact that bleackbeard when he was fighting ace said " the sun or the darkness there is only 1 winner" this was the forshadowing that luffy (the sun god) is going fight the darkness (blackbeard)
Overall I liked the vibe of this video. I definitely think Blackbeard's focus on devil fruits and his greed will feed into his defeat somehow- falling into the sea and having no one who can save him would be great. I also like the idea of Blackbeard turning on his crew. I'd never considered it but the theme of the bonds between straw hats is something I just know Teech lacks- plus Belo Betty said as much in her introduction to Momobeard
But what if he wants to understand the darkness so he can awaken so he's getting as close to his crew as possible then breaking them in the worst possible ways for each?
absolutely amazing video! I'm listening to this as I'm working, very inspiring! Black beard has always been one of my favourite characters conceptually, I really hope we'll get the payoff with his character!
It would also make sense why Kaido's crew wasn't full with awakened users. If Oda is planning on BB being a crew full of awakened users, and has a reveal moment in mind. Even though Kaido's crew is zoan users, having a bunch of awakened users in previous arcs before the fight with BB might make it a little more underwhelming than Oda wants. Also all this dream talk makes me think of that reddit post that claimed the final battle will be Luffy and Blackbeard in a "dream world" which if there is any credit to it, maybe that is tied in with BB's dream and in such a state or world he can access everyone's dreams and use them how he pleases.
