One more hint that dragon will fight Topman is that last chapter all the gorosei did stuff but Topman stood there doing nothing, which is dragons signature move

His name is literally TOP MAN, no way he isn't the strongest of the lot.

no way i sat down for lunch thinking “morj prob didnt upload” then seeing he uploaded 1 sec ago 😂

I remember seeing a theory relating to Ju Peter. In Japanese (シェパード・十・ピーター聖) his name features what looks like a cross. Historically Saint Peter was crucified in Rome by Emperor Nero (known for his cruelty and sadism) on an upside down cross, as blame for starting a fire in Rome. It could tie into the belief that Ju Peter will betray (Nero)na Imu in some way in the story.

I really hope that Kuma will reject his pain and Spirit Bomb the Gorosei.

As a sandworm, an animal who kinda moves unnoticed under the ground, makes sense if Ju Peter is the traitor/undercover. It’s also the only one whose form doesn’t really fit the demon theme.

12:08 KID MENTIONED! LETS FUCKING GOOOOO!!!!

That Brachiosauruses and worms are comparable in One Piece is really something.

I actually watched the ad this time out of respect for how you introduced it lmao

The video transponder snail in the Gorosei’s room in the latest chapter was modeled after Warcury. That’s another example of Oda giving him a bit more emphasis than the rest

1:18: “Now you might be saying, Morj your looking really good” Me: that’s not the only thing I’m saying.

If there is going to be a traitor Gorosei, it's definitely Ju Peter. Based on the positioning of the Doflamingo / Imu panels, Ju Peter occupies the same position as Corazon would, if he were to have been in the picture (based on the positions of the swords in both panels). Additionally, Ju Peter is the only Gorosei that have questioned the World Government at any point. During Wano he questioned why the WG felt the need to hide the real name of the Gum-Gum Fruit. He was also the one who questioned Imu as to why they selected Lulusia. Finally the most important part that I believe to be the key to the puzzle lies in real life Christian theology. Saint Shepherd Ju Peter is named after Saint Peter. Assuming that Ivankov was right when speculating about Imu's identity, they would be Saint Nerona Imu. This namessake most likely is a reference to the real life Emperor Nero. And it just so happened that it's said that Emperor Nero killed Saint Peter by method of cruxification. The precedent for cruxification as a method of punishing Celestial Dragons has already been set with Figarland Garling killing Mjosgard in this way.

Summoning circles were numbered from 1-5 in the last chapter

Idk if you saw but, the Summoning Circles have numbers on them. We already know that Saturns in No.5. In chapter 1110 on the first double spread we can see that Mars Circle is No.4 and we can kinda make out a No.3 on the circle next to his which is Warcury's. Following that pattern, V. Nusjuro would be No.2 (which you can also make out the pattern 2 for the circle next to Warcury), and Ju Peter would be No.1 following that logic. Was just a cool tidbit, I thought I'd mention because I didn't see you mention it in the vid. I also think Artur mention what I was talking about in one of his latest videos.

Warcury is self proclaimed god who transforms into a fire boar known in mythology for destorying towns. Kozuki Oden defeated a large boar that was considered a god who was destroying a town. There is a straw hat who wants to follow directly in Oden's footsteps too, though one who hasn't joined just yet; Yamato. I get that Dragon should have a win, but I think they've established the God's Knights as the threat the Revolutionary Army are working around so they'll probably be the army on army fight with Dragon taking out Garling. As for Ju Peter, he is such an obvious matchup for Jimbei it hurts. It's Earth vs Sea, it's the character most likely to push a Strawhat off the red line vs the one who can survive it and then climb back up it again like Fisher Tiger.

Mars vs sanji will be interesting a bird vs a sky Walker.

the ad 😭😂

In the bird goroseis yokai storyline they're in a story of a bowman who shoots it down and becomes a famous warrior...like ussop 👀👀👀

7:50 you know fact that garp referred to dragon as a "revolutionary" instead of "terrorist" like the world government frames him Is very interesting

I also really want sanji to have a big 1v1 battle, preferably sky battle

9:57 i think its mars based soley on the fact that he looks like he'd be nice 😭

Ussop defeats the worm guy, he always fights the enemies that can go underground.

Maaaaan I’d love to see a team up attack of Luffy, Bonny, Kuma, Kizaru, and maybe Sentamaru all team up to finish Saturn this arc. I think you’re 100% right where Saturn is the main bad of Egghead, all of his themes as well as the characters he’s connected to are all in this arc. The truth of the world being revealed, one of the elders dying, and an admiral defecting would make one hell of an “egghead incident”.

The tension I felt was between Warcury and Akainu. Akainu will most likely fight him. I do not think Dragon will fight one of the Gorosei. Either he will help against Imu or he will take care of the God's Knights with the Revolutionary Army.

If anybody is going to be a traitor its going to be mars Saturns yokai, the ushi oni, is cruel & savage, bringing disease, which correlates with saturns character of being cruel to Kuma & bringing the sapphire scales to Ginny & Bonney If their yokai's all corrolate to their character then Mars is the odd one out The itsumade, Mars' yokai, isnt cruel like the gorosei are portrayed, The itsumade will appear in places that many people have died, asking in a terrible voice "itsumade?" Translating to "until when?" Which is said to be asking how long the suffering will go unnoticed. Also a interesting fight for Sanji could also be JuPeter, as seen Jupeter is a worm, tunneling underground, Sanji has observation haki but weve only seen that once so an observation haki boost for Sanji could be earned from that fight

Given how Onigashima went I would also speculate that the rest of the straw hats require some matchup as well in that conflict. My major guesses would be for the Seraphim, but this conflict could be a 3 fold. Imu/Gorosei/Seraphim vs. Blackbeard Pirates vs. Straw Hats/Revolutionaries If the final conflict is a 3-way battle, the surprise fighter makes a lot more sense as BB. In general, the end of one piece is going to be insane and I love it

Great video Morj, I wanted tto note this since this is the second video you've released stating that Doflamingo had/wanted 5 seats. Having recently just refinished Dressrosa (what a ride that was) I wanted to remind you, as it may have been some time since you've touched on the arc... Doflamingo had 4 seats. Vergo was the 1st "Corazon" up until he infiltrated the Marines for his covert mission. Rosinante became the 2nd "Corazon" 14 years after Doflamingo had taken on piracy as his method to bring down the world. (Doflamingo wanted Law to replace Rosinante as the 3rd "Corazon".) Vergo maintained his status as an "elite/chief officer" and a key member to their operation, but he did not continue to hold a seat, as there were only 4 seats leading the hierarchy. I bring this up, because if the main idea that Imu will be betrayed by a subordinate is prompted by the parallels with Doflamingo, that may be a discrepancy that makes it less likely to occur. This was in no way a "call-out" or "I know One Piece better than you", just something I noticed with the arc fresh in my mind. Thanks for another fascinating upload!

It’s Morjin time another classic Mr.Morj banger 😍😍

If a Gorosei were to rebel, I’d assume Ju Peter. He always seems to be the most skeptical or silent on WG plans and one time during the Lelusha incident I believe he directly questioned the others slightly. Also when Imu sat on the empty throne, Ju Peter and Nesjuro were the only ones not to speak to imu and ask what island to destroy next. Ju is also seemingly the youngest of the group so maybe he isn’t as vicious on order or filled the spot in the gorosei from another who died or left previous.

You are spot on with the dragon thing! When we analyse the structure of previous arcs with a rebellion story line which probably is intended foreshadowing (Skypiea, Dress Rosa) normally the rebellion leader or leader of the “good guys” gets a fight with one of the commander (Viper, the Soldier dad of the princess) as does Luffy with the number 4 or 5 of the crew (Blueno, Cracker, maybe even the sea cow hahaha). Of course this is a structural argument and Oda can break it as he wishes but yeah it sounds solid for me

Think you hit the nail on the head with the Mercury vs Dragon matchup. Thematically, the Godhead of Justice facing off against the leader of the revolutionary group that directly opposes that brand of justice makes sense. Akainu is a dark horse contender for Mercury as well because as Fleet Admiral, Akainu is basically the public face for Justice in One Piece. With the truth being exposed to the world, it would be interesting to see Akainu and Mercury fight as well, although I think I prefer Mercury vs Dragon more. I predict: Mercury vs Dragon V.Nusjuro vs Zoro + a potential clash with Brook Mars vs Sanji Jupiter vs Kuzan Saturn vs Luffy The reason why I say Jupiter vs Kuzan is because Jupiter is the one who gave the order to kill Clover to prevent him from saying the name of the ancient kingdom which eventually lead to the buster call. Given Kuzan's ties with Robin and Saul, I think it would be interesting to have Kuzan and Jupiter fight against eachother.

I feel like there could be a potential case where Luffy is the one fighting warcury and Dragon is fighting Imu. I think it would be cool to see a case where Luffy beats Warcury and the first interaction between him and Dragon is luffy teaming up with him to fight Imu

If Zoro is to fight Venusjoro, I think it will be AFTER he’s defeated Mihawk and has become the World’s Strongest Swordsman. With him taking down Ethan Baron being the first thing he does with his newly claimed title.

If you look closely we see the numbers one the circles, Mars was number 4, mercury was number 3, Venus number 2, Jupiter number 1, mercury is also not always in the middle , in the Throne room with Sabo he wasn’t, and the reason he’s in the middle so much is cause he’s number 3

A Courtney Ryan and Morj Collab was not on my 2024 bingo card. What is going on.

I always love the videos! Akainu vs Jupiter would be so HYPE!!!

6:39 - "It does seem to be *lining up* so far" I appreciate the attempt, Morj

Survive for 10 minutes? Not so fast. In ten minutes Vegapunk will start a whole conference talk with power point, illustrations, mathematical proofs and a second coffee break like on every science conference. So they need to survive for one hour :P

3:15 "Some degree of conflict between Saturn and Luffy" -> Luffy: "👀👀👀👀 😤" And people say Gear 5 didn't ruin Luffy's ability to bring tension to important high-stakes fights. In the past Luffy would definitely goof off early on in the fight, like the teeth gags with Arlong, or Water Luffy vs Crocodile, but he ALWAYS got serious when it mattered as the fight built up. Everyone said serious Luffy was back after the single panel where Luffy finally frowned for a microsecond before smiling again on the same page, but now they're backpedaling as fast as they can.

Mars and Venus are the earths(Imus) right and left hand. Thats why I believe that Sanji will fight Mars

I've thought about the same ordering before and some matchups makes sense based on fighting themes after last chapter for 2-4. V. Nusjuro and Zoro - swordsmen Mars and Sanji - battle of the sky Ju Peter and Jinbe - battle of the land vs sea It maintains the ordering of the crew and makes sense. Warcury is the hardest one for me to think about but Dragon makes sense due to the theme of war. Dragon was noted to hate war and I think it makes sense for the man named Warcury to go against. However, Sabo seems to be the better option imo. It makes sense for the flame emperor who could be seen as another weaker symbol of the sun, as well as a person who is brothers with the sun god to go up against the closest planet in Warcury. The theme could be a conflict of the sun(Not sure how to word this better). The gorosei are planets gravitating around imu but sabo and luffys crew gravitate towards luffy. A fight to see who is following the right sun.

Marcus Mars may be the defector if theres a gorosei traitor at all based on the itsumade lore dealing with lamentations or regret of the dead waiting for vengence or justice. Mars is always standing with his hands in his pockets(sus) and gets the least amount of dialouge out of the 5. The end game gorosei matchups may be Jimbei vs Warcury(the knight of the sea vs the rain diety) Sanji vs Mars/Saturn(depends on if saturn dies or if Mars defects, whichever happens first sanji will fight the other) Zoro vs Nasujuro(self explanatory) Dragon vs Ju Peter, (its a dragon vs dragon fight, would be cool to see a sandstorm fight too)

"giant beard"

Based on recent spoiler, 1. Saturn Vs Nami and Usoff. - Saturn Climbed up at the top of egg head island, where nami and usoff waiting for other strawhat to come. I think the final fight of saturn is not from luffy it is nami and usoff vs Saturn, 2. Mercury Vs Luffy And at the bottom, Mercury is there to fight luffy and the two giants. 3. Jupiter Vs 2 Giant or 1 strawhat. Jupiter is with mercury also but his opponent is the two giant. 4. Venus Vs Sanji and Brook , sanji is near to Bonney, Not sure if Sanji is the Final opponent of Venus 5. Mars Vs Unknown Character, or Vs Zoro and Jimbei, cause both of them still in control room of vega punk.

9:59 Something I find worth to mention: When Sabo infiltrated the throne room in chapter 1085, when the Gorosei and Imu transformed, we only got teased the DF forms of Imu themselves and only 4 of the Gorosei, being Warcury, Mars, Nusjuro, Saturn. It may have only been a perspective thing, but we never got to see Ju Peter doing anything when Sabo was carrying Cobra out of the throne room. That whole sequence was 4 pages long yet none of the panels on any of those pages had Ju Peter. Not really sure how much this adds onto that whole traitor theory, but I still think it should be brought up.

As always great video... regarding your theory of one of the gorosei rebelling, if that happens to be the case, i'd say its Mars. As evil as they are, when he gave the order to destroy Ohara you could clearly see Mars havin some kind of guilt when he said Ohara knew too much. So that might be hint of him not being okay with following Imu's reign

I think Law will fight imu with luffy dying saving luffy with the eternal youth surgery and Luffy will defeat imu. This would be epic and a callback of the onigashima raid when Law said that he won't let anyone die

I really like your narrative

Hmm the panel where the other 4 Gorosei was arriving on Egghead and materializing on the circle, from right to left direction, the circle with number 1 in it wasn't visible to us alongside Ju Peter's body, so it might mean that he is the #1 in the order. Maybe it also tells us why he was the one who had the authority or hierarcy to speak, asked to cut the communication and tell the officers to forget about Lulusia.

Im still intrigued on the idea of Mars being related to the Gan Fall in some way, During Skypiea there were some moments where he kinda mentioned how awful humans can be, and having a ¨young¨ Gorosei makes me think Gan Fall was banished for betraying Imu making Mars the next Traitor

People keep saying 10 minutes but after 10min is when Vegapunk's message STARTS so, if we wanna hear the whole thing they have to keep it protected for until he's finished

If there is betrayal amongst the Gorosei, I think it would be Ju Peter. He transforms into a sandworm that may play a role in destroying the Red Line. Mars might just be a Sanji opponent being a giant bird, and Sanji is the only one of the crew that can fly. That's assuming the gorosei fights aren't paired fights (i.e. Zoro and Brook vs V. nusjuro due to the heavy theme of death and both being swordsmen). The other oddity I've come across is if Ju Peter is a sandworm and not a traitor, would the proper place for him to battle be Alabasta being the sand island and heavy links to Imu/Void Century?

My man really went and invented planetscaling

you're going for that tanned Shank's look lmaoo

Imagine if Ju Peter actually just freakin died last chapter 😭

It makes sense that Sanji the 3rd strongest SH would fight the 3rd strongest Gorosei (Mars)

I think it would be interesting to see the Revolutionary Commanders to fight Ju Peter. Morley moving the ground big worm is digging through, Ju Peter also probably has some sand-based abilities which Karasu's Soot could probably counter, Lindbergh whipping out some funky new invention with Bello Betty giving everyone buffs.

They are clearly numbered and not in planetary order tho. Each summonning circle is numbered, and they have always appeared in the same position from left to right, wich is the same order represented by their summoning circles.

The summoning circles of the Gorosei have numbers on them. Saturn had a very clear to see 5, but the others have numbers too, just hard to see. Mars has 4, Warcury has 3, Nusjuro has 2, and Peter's is not shown, likely making it 1 (unless it's 6 and say Imu would be 1). This is, notably, different from the planet order.

If Zorros fighting a gorosei then Sanji most definitely will. He wouldn’t allow “shitty swordsman” to one up him

If you look closely at the panel where the gorosei are in shadow form in chapter 1110 Marcus has a 4 around him

Yo Morj, the Gorosei have a number system that has been associated with their summoning circles, the reason Saturn had the number 5 in his summoning circle doesn't appear to be because he's just one of the 5 elders, and their numbers are represented by the order that they were shown in the panels: 1 Ju Peter 2 Nasjuro 3 Warcury 4 Mars 5 Saturn. I think Ju Peter as the sandworm makes sense as a match up for Dragon. With the emphasis in the last arc on zoans (or mythical transformations), Dragon is probably going to have some dragon like zoan. Even if he doesn't, we know there's some association with the wind, and I think the worm/ground vs dragon/wind fight would be compelling.

I thought the most interesting opponents, story-wise, would be the One Piece "veterans": *Garp* , *Sengoku* , *Rayleigh* , *Shiki* and maybe *Kong* (or maybe Scopper Gaban if he is revealed to be alive). After all, both the Gorosei and these veterans were the most knowledgeable when it comes to what actually happened in history. Them fighting and having dialogues would each other would reveal some interesting insights. Just imagine these badass old people brawling with each other. The amount of Conqueror's Haki clashes could obliterate islands! Garp finally choosing Luffy's side. Sengoku also finally choosing to follow his own justice. Shiki finally getting the chance to act out his anger towards the people that executed Roger, whom he respected so much. Rayleigh making sure that the Gorosei would not be able to interfere with Luffy's revolution(fulfilling what Roger could not do). Not enough info about Kong but maybe he shares a bond with Sengoku.

I agree with your matchups for Mercury, Venus, and Saturn. As much as I’d want Sanji to fight Mars, I believe he will end up fighting Jupiter as he is the God of agriculture and that thematically fits Sanji more. I see either Law or Kid fighting Mars, and Sabo will fight Akainu.

Before that. I predict with the upcoming long break, Oda will in usual fashion give us a huge lore/cliff to dwell and theorize about in the mean time. I think this is going to be almost certainly the Vegapunk Announcement

Kid defeats a Gorosei is the next Raid Fails

I think there will be 7 goresei. Yes i know it means 5 but i think the female servant with imu will be someone strong n garling will become a goresei. Earth n moon. Brook also fights venus

I used to have Sanji fighting Ju peter but now looking at the gorosei zoans forms I definitely got Sanji fighting Mars because it will be a cool aerial flame battle.

Morj: gorosei will not lose here Oda: your theory will fail again

I had always wondered how something could have planted the white lead in Flevance. With Ju Peter's worm ability, the white lead could've been put there. Especially if he can split into multiple sized worms with a hydra-effect, ore veins could've been convincing. Talk about destabilizing...

morj you looking fucking fire my dude

I think throwing Koby in the mix for a gorosei matchup would be possible. He could use a “hero of the marines” moment and I think he could have a fight against akainu but Sabo seems more likely to defeat akainu. If Koby does fight an admiral then I think it would be kuzan.

Morj, I need compilation of the theories, U were on mark...

Morj is gonna have to carry the next few weeks with the month break we have after 1111.

Mars betrayal of imu i think make more sense because he is the one who probably pass throw the barrier and let the message play

with law being able to enlarge his sword i could kinda see him being a good match for the sandworm, like a scene where the worm tries to attack law in a straight line and law just makes his sword as long as possible, rams it into the worm and slices upwards or something. could also lead to a fight where law can't really rely on his room power, because what's he gonna do to a worm with it, move his head somewhere else? worm doesn't care. on the other hand law feels a little weaker than all the other mentioned characters to me, so i'm not entirely sure if he has what it takes to beat a gorosei.

I think Mars is more likely due to him being the one who showed guilt for Ohara. Peter seems more villainous and a Sanji opponent

@morj did you notice that all the gorosei left the holy land, and they will have to travel back by boat to get back, and Blackbeard crew literally have a way to get to the holy land with katerina and there will be no gorosei there to spot the fack. Kinda like what they did with going to the prison when no one was there

According to Artur, library of O'Hara...Juu Peter is the strongest... Apparently the summoning circles are numbered and he's number 1. I haven't checked this myself but he had a screenshot up showing it😊 Went back to check... It is indeed on page 4 you can see numbers in the summoning circles

Gorosei vid already? Speed!

None of the gorosei are defecting, and none of the strawhats are fighting any gorosei as their final matchup

Great video i just wanna ad Oda already number them when Saturn appear his circle is number 5. When rest was summoned you can see 4,3 and two and its follow their pattern how are they pressented every time from top to bottom or right to left. Number 1 is Shepherd Ju Peter.

@MrMorj, it would be interesting to hear your take on what Shanks is going to do in the final arc. I think that he's going to be defeated by Blackbeard and it would be cool to see a Whitebeard vs. Roger ACoC moment between him and Luffy, but beyond that I have no clue what else he is going to do. It has to be something significant.

Sanji vs mars is more likely I heard theory about mars having fire type abilities

Morj, youre looking really good ❤

I could also see Ju Peter being Sanji's opponent because of his job - he's the Warrior God of Agriculture. And given the World Government's habit of taking food from the poor to give to the Celestial Dragons, I could see Sanji being triggered enough to fight him. Similarly, Jinbe is another possibility for Mars, the Warrior God of the Environment. We don't know the degree to which the Gorosei influence Celestial Dragon policies, but keep in mind that Fishmen were once categorized as "fish" by the World Government. If that decision came from the top, it's possible Mars spearheaded this idea. Also, while Jinbe can strike opponents from afar with Fishman Karate, I do feel like a flying opponent would provide the most challenge for an experienced fighter like him.

I think I’ve heard theories that people believe Ju Peter will be the traitor, as he is the youngest of the 5. I think him being a worm (which can mean a dishonorable person) further proves this because it is very similar to a snake body wise. And a snake is someone who is a traitor.

Also find it funny that the planet Saturn is the one that most resembles the Straw Hat with it's ring

Law vs Ju Peter makes sense because the gem associated with Jupiter is amber and law previously contracted amber lead syndrome as a kid

What about Ju Peter vs Ivankov? I can see Mars and Ju Peter going to Kid and Law, but I hope not since we already got our Kid/Law team up fight in Wano. I don’t see Ju Peter going to Sabo or Akainu since they’ll probably be fighting each other (but Luffy probably gets to fight Akainu at some point too so idk). I don’t see BB sticking his neck out to fight an elder, but he could totally swoop in and deal the killing blow or something. I don’t really have any GOOD reason for thinking Ju Peter may fight Iva, but if Dragon is fighting an elder then maybe it could be a tag team?

Wargod of Justice being the strongest makes sense, 'Justice' is everything for the Marines. Also I don't think the numbers are their power rankings, that sounds stupid. Order of creation maybe, but just numbering their power in the summoning circle sounds so awkward

4:31 I don't know man, they are always positioned the same & it fits their title card order (also their individual numbers would match, Itsumade clearly being 4th)

The magic circles upon closer look seem to have different number for different gorosei with ju peter being 1, I think Artur pointed it out as well. But could this mean he's a first or that he's the strongest?

Based on the numbers on the summoning circles and the order their 'forms' are introduced this chapter, it appears that from 5-1 its: Saturn Mars Warcury V. Nusjuro Ju Peter I'm a believing in the theory that they all have had the eternal youth surgery done in the order of most importance to Imu. Ju Peter is #1 and looks the youngest and the difference in their ages is the time it took for the fruit to reincarnate and be used.

the numbers for the Elders we given last chapter. Peter is 1 Ethan 2 and so on

I could see Jinbe fighting a Gorosei member, possibly Walcury since they are both strong on Justice.

Just seems like based on this arc alone. Kuma finishing off himself and Saturn is poetic and needed

You should look at the Divine Comedy's Celestial Spheres for hierarchy as that is what the Gorosei are based on, not on the planets.

I think it's possible Jupiter might be a traitor because of the fact that his Zoan doesn't match the theme of the rest, as well as the fact that he very literally embodies a Zoan that is an insect, which the gorosei sort of constantly use as an insult.
