The Greatest Franky Theory Ever Made 

It's been forever since the cola power source was mentioned in that series, this is actually a great way to bring it back up, hopefully it will give Franky a more human look.

The thing that ultimately sold me on this theory was the fact that the first time we got a full reveal of Franky included Nami and Luffy mistakenly thinking he had a DF. How Oda chooses to introduce characters is wildly important.

Frankys growth has always been pacifista-like(he's even been called that literally) Him gaining advanced pacifista abilities seems so organic

A note of Franky's fighting style, Oda is a pro wrestling fan and pays homage to it in the manga and that includes in Franky's fights; not only is his moveset full of pro wrestling moves but the fights follow the tropes you'd see in a classic japanese pro wrestling match to a tee, so it's a showcase of fighting spirit where you prove you can take your opponent's best shot and keep standing.

This might have been said somewhere else, but you forgot to mention that Oda showed us how different types of beverages affected Franky in different ways.... Franky could have bottles of green blood from different fruit users and have different fruit abilities....and maybe gain their personality traits?

🔥Theory! After seeing how much Franky's personality changed when he used tea instead of Cola, I suspect we'll be in for some wild rides if he uses the green blood. Will we be seeing him with a baby bonnet, bib and pacifier if he uses the swim powers??? He's such a unpredictable super pervert.

I always love that one panel where Vegapunk just casually said "yeah i cut my own brain out because it's too big lol"

I agree with this beautiful theory, Franky is due for a remodel and I'll add this: Frankie's new wanted poster (The sunny) could be Oda's way of foreshadowing a scene where the marines are "Funnily" angry because its a ship and not a person, in which they go out of their way to get his picture. When they do get their hands on a picture, it would be Franky in his newest form/model after Egghead. What do you guys think?

If the green blood does carry the memories of the original user, there’s no one better to use it then the empathetic and weepy cyborg barmate. Imagine Franky trying to use Baby 5s blood and learning her backstory mid-combat, and Franky having to fight and learn the devil fruit powers through a storm of tears

This is such an awesome video! When I first read we were going to Egghead I was so excited cause I thought this was going to be Frankys arc. Sadly, so far, we haven't seen him do anything of note, at least not yet. Green blood is such an awesome idea. And now, with the introduction of the Mark 3 pacifista and the bubble sheild that they can make thats another potential upgrade. Oda is missing a SUPPER opportunity if he doesn't implement any of these ideas. Keep up the great work!

I feel like the reason we don't see Franky repairing the ship is cause it would make the Adam wood feel less special if common attacks can destroy it plus if he did have to repair the sunny where would he get the spare Adam would, you could argue he didn't use all of it when he built the sunny but he never said that before or after he joined the crew but you could argue he doesn't have too say that

I think Usopp is gonna get some well deserved upgrades as well with things like the light interacting gloves, the bubble gun and some other stuff he can use to give him a major boost.

One mystery needs to be solved as well; can artificial fruits produce an awakening? It would be neat if Franky was able to awaken the Swim-Swim fruit because of his swim-suit, love of swimming, and relationship with Senor Pink.

Oh yeah, you're cookin with straight GAS on this one man. I love the thoughts behind it and I'm also a big fan of the MADS ship being the one Franky found himself on all those years ago when he rebuilt himself better, faster, and stronger. Can't wait to see if this, or something very similar, comes true. Thanks for another amazing video!

I love Franky's post-timeskip design (with his pompadour) because it makes sense, just like you said. It's jarring at first, but narratively, it has great significance, showing his evolution from human, to cyborg, to even MORE cybernetic, continuing even further with General Franky. Franky isn't boring in his abilities, it's just that he hasn't NEEDED any new abilities yet.... but he will soon. Seeing Franky on screen, the wackiness and wild nature he brings is amazing, and his demeanor has only been just as good. Franky has maintained his same wacky, likeable demeanor post-timeskip. Sure, we don't get as many moments focusing individually on him, but he's till the same old lovable macho-soft hearted pervert. Any time he's on screen, it's something good. Everytime he's on screen, he's either really cool or really funny; he's just always a delight to see, not matter the circumstance.

Loving the new direction for the channel. The theories are still as interesting, but you're also making me laugh a lot. Hope your channel soars!

I initially had no doubt about Franky getting a lot of attention in Egghead but considering what is currently occuring in this arc and the attention being pushed towards Bonney and Kumas long awaited flashback, I'm starting to doubt. But Oda is definitely cooking something for him somewhere down the line. Sanji hinted at Franky getting some of Queens tech. And his new bounty poster is potentially setting up something. Also, just an idea I had when watching this. Would be cool if he gives Sunny that bubble defensive technology. Could really help in a battle at sea.

But hear me out, what if cola is the ancient power source that vegapunk couldn’t figure out?

One of the few theories that I actually whole heartedly agree with, there are so many relevant connections and theories that you present so I'm stoked to see if Oda will give a major boost of some sort in Franky's character, you're one of the few underrated creators that I happen to stumble upon. Keep doing what you doing man.

By far one of the best One Piece content creators. The quality of your videos are just beautiful. Very enjoyable to watch !!!

i'm worried "Egghead will be Franky's arc" will end up as the new "Wano will be Zoro's arc"

Franky deserves this much love from Oda.

Who thinks pants would be an upgrade for franky?!?! If he gets any clothing based upgrade, it’s gonna be upgrading from speedo to G-string

Franky with the Baku Baku no Mi has always made sense to me. In addition to making Wapol metal on command (which I believe is only the surface level and can be improved with the right user) he can also transform any part of his body into a weapon he’s eaten and match the qualities of what he’s eaten in a 24 hour period. And if anyone can make use of that is Franky! Edit: Also while it’s not shown if that applies to seastone or not, if it’s greenblood wouldn’t that bypass the seastone weakness??

Lol I actually really like Franky's post time skip design. I was kinda surprised back in the day when I kept hearing people saying they didn't like it or care for it or whatever

Yes I love this theory, franky getting swim swim powers would be a great moment

i’m so happy to see a franky theory, if you can’t tell from the pfp he’s my fav character in the series/ever. i love just seeing videos like this

I heard you briefly bring up the green blood in a stream but all the reasons as to why it's perfect for Franky make it even more likely and fun

I think an interesting angle that they could go with is for Franky to become a toolbox style character swapping out different devil fruit abilities.

Love this idea , especially following volume 59 sbs when a fan pointed out the number sequence of all devil fruit users in the crew and the numbers missing would equate to Kuma joining Oda seemed surprised and just ignored the question flat out I thought Kuma would die soon and frankly would inherit the fruit, for the same reasons you listed: • the ties with Vegapunk • frankys body resembling kumas big pacifista body But it’s too much of a power up, so your theory makes more sense I reckon he gets Kumas green blood for sure, but as part of a few temporary green blood power ups Also, I have a theory that Kumas paw paw fruit allows him to extract memory from the special Items For example say on Laugh Tale, Franky would be able to extract Joyboys memory from the last poneglyph and the crew would all witness what happened not just read Awesome vid dude

Amazing that this is still a viable theory half a year later. Also I've been thinking about it and I could see Franky and Chopper being able to make more green blood with Vegapunks notes/help. Related to this it wouldn't be hard for Franky to get some of Baby 5's blood to convert into green blood as she's now part of Chinjao's fleet.

I'm imagining franky being able to switch which blood he's using to access different powers. Please let this be the era of Devil Frank

Him running over Big Mom in a motorcycle while singing brings back the goofyness of his character big time though lets be honest.

If you've watched the show called "The Boys" before you'll probably know of Compound V which gave superheroes/villians their powers permanently (similar to that of DFs). In the show, they also introduced a temporary Compound V which, ironically, was green as well. These temporary Compound V vials gave any normal human the ability to use superpowers for 24 hours before going back to normal. However, there were drawbacks to using too much "Temp V" which included things like nausea, brain damage, and even the possibility of death. I could definitely see Franky being the one to replicate this entire process with DFs but I feel like there would have to be some drawbacks included if he were able to switch between different low-tier paramecia powers at will. This entire route also opens up the possibility to Franky creating vials for the crew even if some don't use them, like Zoro or Jinbe, who I imagine would say no instantly. I'd like to think that the vials he creates for the crew are much better than the low-tier paramecia powers Franky would have as well, considering it's only one DF power they could gain from drinking the green blood compared to Franky switching between multiple at will since he runs on green blood, so potentially Franky learns to replicate Logia and Zoan fruits at that point in the story. If this did happen as well, my guess is that the characters that have the vials would only take it when they are about to lose a battle and their power up gives them enough to end the battle against overpowered opponents or at least fight on par with them (e.g. Ussop is going to need a massive power-up besides Observation Haki if he plans on beating Van Augur who has the Warp-Warp fruit)

Incredible, I love the theory and presentation I had my own feeling Frankie was going to get some beastly upgrades this arc, but I had totally overlooked the greenblood. Another possible redesign would be dope too and not something I had seen in the cards for him until now.

Franky just starts taking blood samples from luffy and becomes a rubber cyborg man

Im glad someone else thought of this. It’s been on my mind since we learned about green blood, it would be so amazing. Plus making it the Nikyu Nikyu would make that devil fruit numbers thing come true, the last two numbers missing are 2&9. Also it would be great if he could have a few of them and be interchangeable, but that might be too OP 😂 I’d love the paw paw fruit for him, he’s the ultimate pacifista 😁

Slow beam Franky would be a nightmare to fight.

You really outdid yourself with the audio design in this one, great work!!!

gotta say, this might be a hot take but this is one of my favorite theories made by anyone ever, I kinda doubt it will come true but I still think about how fun this theory is and how cool it would be in the story.

This totally makes sense to me. I really hope this is gonna happen.

9:23 Important correction for the correction - He wasn't even part of the team that built the nukes at all, the project was just largely based on his research (E=mc2 and all that) which created the connection. Einstein was a staunch pacifist and just this loose connection already made him feel incredibly guilty, he wouldn't work on the project directly

As a franky fan this video is like chicken noodle soup for my soul. I just hope oda actually does have plans for him, i'm pretty sure he's on record saying franky is his least favourite straw hat so i'm a lil worried we just won't get a whole lot from him overall.

To be honest when my friend first showed me Franky post time skip, I was disappointed, but to be honest, it’s really grown on me and I appreciate that his timeskip reflects all the work he did, largely unlike the other characters except maybe Usopp and chopper who just got wardrobe changes, missing eyes and bigger tits. But also I heard somewhere that he kinda went from a Ace Ventura pop eye to more of a Dwayne the rock Johnson and I liked the switch cuz he references bodybuilder poses but wasn’t never that big. Also it’s worth mention the pun there that he is indeed a body builder, as he builds on his body. Secondly I appreciate the implication, since his head is so small, that he sort of stitched new body parks to his sides, hence the large scars, to make his core big enough to hold the arms, which really gives more credence to his name, Franky, referring to Frankensteins monster, cuz he only adopted it after becoming a cyborg. Lastly, and if your still reading I think you might be as big a Franky fan as I am, I think his goofy arms actually do serve a purpose for piloting General Franky, as well as being a bigger space for gunz. I liked the small cameo of his toolbox being in his arm, it’s very clever and I’ve even wanted something like that once

So Franky may become Megaman? Get's the fighting-skills of defeted enemys, but it costs ammo? - I like! 👍😂

I love Franky, and I don't say that lightly. There is nothing about this man that fails to come to together in unison to make him as wonderful as he is. I love (I'm using that word a lot) that he's focused on adapting, and that he brings tools with him to see to it he can answer most any issue that arises. He's basically more capable a fictional character than Batman with his utility belt, and that is an insane claim to make and have be accurate... though of course that's because one series is about realism and the other is about idealism, but I digress. Franky's attitude is charming as heck, too. It's quite something that he blew me away so thoroughly in Water 7 that his relatively low amount of progression compared to the other Straw Hats does not bother me. I think Oda would like to focus on him more, but this late into the game it's crazy difficult for him to "make time" in the story for an aspect of a character to receive a spotlight beyond the East Blue 5, but it will happen in the endgame... and sooner than we think. I can't wait! :) Excellent video, by the way.

I think it'll be kuma's paw paw fruit. 1. In the recent wanted poster of franky, there was no image of him, only Sunny's lion face was there. 2. In sbs, there's a question about frankys possible futures, oda drawn franky becoming literally a warship. And franky's entire dream is building a ship of dreams, so he will get a devil fruit ability to combine with thousand sunny and be a warship. May be this could be in the future as a opposing warship to fight against pluton if maybe Blackbeard got to pluton first.

I'm so interested to kno how and why Kuma knew where to send each straw hat (to improve..?..).. cuz a lot of the places the Straw Hats were sent to seemed a bit too convenient lol. Unless his ability that time like "read their feelings or soul or whatever" or something like that lol. You never know with Oda lol

What a extremely good video! That were 22min well spend. I now realy hope Oda implements your ideas because Franky truly has been neglected. Keep up the good work you earned yourself a subscribe and like

Bro your vid’s are so well put together. I’m laughing my ass off and binging your videos and theories

I love seeing a video about a less talked about character! Franky is in much need of more love both in story and by fans.

uh.... greenblood was 5 months ago? this year flew by...

Franky is my favourite anime character and I love this theory. But his post timeskip design is amazing and I will not hear such slander.

Let’s not forget Robin is on the crew and was a significant figure in frankys timeline; multiple hands making multiple punches and weapons left?? Maybe even lazer beams???

"Switch from Coca cola to Mountain Dew" was genius im crying 😭

Spoilers! . . . . . . . . . . . This arc has reached a point where we might have only one surviving satellite (excluding York). The final countdown for the arc has begun and Franky has accomplished practically nothing of importance. Throughout the Egghead arc so far he barely gets a passing glance or brief comment from any of the Vegapunks. Now Stella, Shaka, and Pythagoras are gone, and we don't have time left for anything. I believe we can still salvage Franky's character arc though. The question is, what will happen to punk records, now that Stella is dead (probably)? Will the rest of the satellites' die as well? What will happen to punk records, it's his brain in a jar powered by his devil fruit power, so it stands to reason that his brain will wither away. I'm going to assume that punk records has an emergency backup system that will keep punk records functional for a varying amount of time. A time limit on Punk records will keep the Straw hats from being too OP and most importantly will lead to a heart warming passing of the scientific torch from the last remaining satellite to Franky. Maybe Franky will inherit Vegapunks will of creating a global knowledge database. The Gorosei have two outcomes, they stop the broadcast in time and proceed with the buster call on egghead, or 2. they fail to stop the broadcast in time and now they must switch gears, stop the buster call on egghead, retrieve York and generate more mother flame ammo. What I believe could happen is the Straw hats and giant pirates escape and head for Elbaf. Lilith, Atlas, or Edison manage to escape with them and they leave behind Egghead taking a long range antenna with them. Punk records is intact, York is alive and the World Government turns what's left of Egghead into the mother flame factory, because they are definitely gonna need it after the entire world turns against the Holy Land after hearing the broadcast's shocking message. The Straw hats arrive at Elbaf, then Franky and Lilith/Atlas/Edison get to work. With their combined abilities plus the few supplies smuggled from Eggheads lab, they will begin upgrading Franky and the Sunny. That's pretty much the only option left, to escape with one satellite who still has access to punk records. There has to be a big payoff for Franky, because it would be a MAJOR disappointment otherwise. Perhaps S-Bear will sacrifice himself and yeet the Straw hats, the Sunny, the citizens of Egghead, and the giant pirates all the way to Elbaf. I believe the Ancient Robot will be mostly responsible for stalling the Five Elders long enough for the broadcast to be successful in it's mission of saying juuusst as much as the plot will allow lol. Hopefully the Straw hats will be able to unwind on the shores of Elbaf, considering they had all of about 5 minutes to unwind on Egghead. Finally they will have enough time for Franky to speak more than 5 passing words at a time to Vegapunk.

Great video… fun to think about. I originally had hoped franky would freak out vegapunk by being able to create laser power from cola instead of devil fruit ability copying

1:07 your theory is Vegapunk level genius. I hope it happens.

Mountain dew? More like solient green, it's made from people, or it's alien communion. Vega punk could show Franky how to make and mold sea stone apart of his body, nullifying logias and devil fruits. Basic haki could be another upgrade, or all past tech in the story.

A year has passed and it seems Franky will never get an upgrade...

I like the idea Oda has that Zoro’s SWORD gets the dragon fruit and not him. I just imagine Zoro like “um…TWO SWORD AND…D-DRAGON…STYLE!”

This dude's thumbnails though. Jesus you could sell these as sticker prints!

Vegapunk: Franky, I can teach you anything you need to know, I can give you robots to study and fix up. Franky: suuuper! Vegapunk: you just need to put on pants. Franky: pass.

His bounty poster is the sunny, so if he does get an upgrade like this before the final war, the government and the celestial dragons would be hella surprised by how strong he is. He could be more than on par with any of the seraphim and I would love that. It's so true that he hasn't had an upgrade in a very long time and I would absolutely love to see it. He's the funniest strawhat imo (besides luffy) and I would love to see him play a big role in the final war.

Either Sasaki was SUPER weak or Senior Pink was a much stronger man than we give him credit for because unlike half of the straw hats Franky has not shown to have anything hidden away that he is saving (like Robin knowing Fishman Karate and the giant devil form) and hasn't received any upgrades throughout the New World (like Enma, the raid suit and subsequent cyborg body, gears 4 and 5, learning new Haki and advanced Haki, getting a literal spirit cloud living in your weapon, etc) so has had been AS POWERFUL as he is now since they left for Fishman Island and has either been holding back and really nonchalant about his fights or Pink is a Tobi Roppo level fighter. Either way Franky has been a powerhouse throughout the series and if ANY of the 7 warlord's fruit powers are up for him to possibly use, I think having him whip out the Chop Chop fruit and have his lasers literally floating in the air while he rockets his massive fists around would be amazing!

Watching this a year later after I’ve finally caught up but, welcome back Yuta Okkotsu and your domain expansion

The best part of this theory is that it's not farfetched at all for Oda to buff a character this close to the finish line. Sanji had to wait 20 Years for his backstory, so perhaps he can still add tools to Franky's arsenal.

Dude the creativity in the presentation of this theory is unparalleled.

Honestly I like the new Franky new body, it made him feel more like a cyborg then iron man

As much as I would love for Franky to get a power-up like Green Blood or Usopp to get a Devil Fruit / improve his Observation Haki / get a new weapon / get a Devil Fruit for Kabuto slingshot, I'm afraid that they are going to remain the way that they are, as a gag side-characters, since all of his attention is centered on the monster trio of the Straw-Hats. I thought that Egghead island arc would be Franky story arc, but it simply isn't, and seeing that my hype for Elbaf arc for Usopp is dying down, and that bums me out...

Franky can still eat a devil fruit and swim using the technological parts of his body.

Okay, finally a good theory. None of the "shanks is imu" or "law/kidd are also secretly gods" nonsense. Honestly, I would love to see Franky upgraded with more Vegapunk tech, as well as both him and Chopper learning how Devil Fruits trully work thanks to Vegapunk and thus inventing ways to cure the botched Smile Fruits side effects.

I really liked your point about Franky being the weapon, hence the weapon can't be misused. Very cool theming wrt freedom and free will wrt seraphim and cyborgs. If he learns how to make it, to extract lineage factors himself, that would be cool too. I was hoping for a sea stone upgrade in wano and never got it, but this would make that up many times over.

i do think it’s of note though that in the wano, franky was able to stand his own against his enemy without a dramatic upgrade like the other straw hat’s fights (aside from jimbei) and i think that’s WILD. franky is just that guy. bro made sure during the timeskip that his body would handle EVERYTHING. bro isn’t even afraid of running over a yonko.

This is so hype! People keep yalking about giving Usopp, Nami, and Chopper upgrades when Franky hasn't gotten a single new thing since the timeskip. I NEED Franky to get this!

"What will he learn from Vegapunk next?" Learned nothing. What if Franky were to replace his cola bottles with bottles of green blood?" Not happened. But Lilith still can help him.

I actually love this, Franky has been one of my favorite characters for a long time just based off his personality and gimmick in the strawhat crew, but I feel like he needs a major upgrade and some development! Given how he spent his time during the timeskip, it'd be a missed opportunity not to develop his character and abilities.

I still stand my point where i say that if Oda made his classic hair the base one instead of a 0 point short far less people would had problems with the new design

I usually don't like speculative theories but this one just makes sense

Love this theory! You briefly touched on it, but this also makes sense with how emotional Franky’s character is! I can imagine him using a former opponent’s green blood and learning about their past through blood line elements (like you mentioned with sr. Pink) then crying about how he sympathizes with that chatacter even more now. All while beating up a confused opponent with said powers!

In my mind, the best combo they could give Franky would be Jozu's Diamond-fruit, and Kuma's Paw-fruit. Ultimate Defense, plus an insane power-up to his 'Coup De Vent'. I could also see him using the Diamond-fruit to enhance his "Kizaru laser" into a disco-ball-Death-star for a massive area of effect. Something that could counter a buster call even with the Sunny being surrounded by it.

Green Blood is either Mountain Dew or Monster Energy. An energy drink as opposed to cola as his equivalent to "green blood" would be such a Franky thing to do

It would be cool if he could store different types of green blood. He could have a similar switching method as Sunny, where they’re each their own number. It does make the most sense if he gets at least the swim power, but there could also be the possibility that he can’t get those, because they’re already being used. So he’ll get the upgrade, but it’ll be something new or one we haven’t hear much about

Franky using the gum gum moves in the shogun would be sick

it'd be super cool if franky is able to make green blood and then makes green blood out of his teammates devil fruits. could you image franky limbs appearing out of absolutely nowhere and firing missiles at you.

God if Oda been plannin this out imma be mind blown

Dang only 1 min 45 into it and I already need more Diet Carbonated GreenBlood... BRB innit?

Lineage factor in one piece MUST contain memories. I say it since the first seraphim appeared. Normally clones cant do shit without the experience and knowledge of the original person.

Franky and vegapunk are gonna synthesize crystal Pepsi. Will use it to give the ship a DF

Can't wait to see the green blood give him Senor Pink's hardboiled attitude. Franky x Pink's hardboiledness condensed into one cyborg will be waaaay past 9000...

you totally overlooked how impressive it is that, with all those mods, he can still float

Clearly the One Piece is a pair of pants that perfectly fits Franky, and that's his next upgrade

I think post timeskip franky is way more aesthetically pleasing and cooler as well

I theorized that after Egghead he would upgrade his body to BF-39, General Franky to BF-40, get a new sword maybe given a Zoan (I thought it would have been cool if he had Funkfreed) or made of Liquor Iron Ore, so I love this theory giving Franky Devil Fruit powers (maybe even the Clone-Clone since both Franky & Bon-Chan are both voiced by the some VA Kazuki Yao)

21:26 “in conclusion I think Franky is going to do the dew”

I feel the same way. I loved Franky pre-time skip. He’s felt neglected, and been underwhelming. I would love for him to get this upgrade. It’s also genius to go from coke to Mountain Dew. That’s a great catch.

Man I must have the unpopular opinion. I like Franky's new design. Buddy looks like a menace with boulders for shoulders who could take on a giant. Bro is genuinely terrifying I love it

I love that u did a franky vid underrated character in the community my favorite personally

I always thought the reason why Franky powers everything with cola is because a cola engine is a stand in for a coke oven.

y'know this plays into that gohdroger "leak" perfectly, indtead of gaining a new devil fruit franky gets mountain dew paw paw blood
