So basically, the Hito Hito no mie: Model Nika fruit is like a reset button for the world. When one regime becomes too powerful, then it needs to be toppled.
Ayo man you got some dope community tab polls xd, I saw a comment glazing your polls so I checked and oh my was I not disappointed. I'm def sudcribing btw to not miss any of them in the future. Btw can u pls do some naruto ones too i really wanna know abt peoples thoughts on it, like u did the uhh one piece one. btw i am a big fan now, i also see ur comments in many places.
For me, the bigges reveal was that Lokis father has been murdered in his castle. The very castle we saw two chapters ago, when two holy knights teleportet to it. Maybe Lokis story is a parallel to Odens, but what is instead of meeting Rodger and Whitebeard, Loki met the world goverment. People who promised to help him get the throne from his father, if he would just grand them access to Elbaf. Maybe place some cyrcke on the ground of the castle. But then his wish was granted in a way he didn't intended and they killed hin in front of his eyes. Would explain the rage.
I think the first Nika brought destruction because, in the first Nika picture, he has two weapons in his hands. The Nika shown in chapter 1136 has one shield and one weapon, so he both protected and destroyed people or the world. However, Luffy doesn’t have any weapons, so he will only protect the world.
Yo Ohara something that I noticed is that the celestial dragons kill races that worship Nika (Sun God) just like the catholic or English church did to the native Americans and Native Islanders.
44:1445:00 HARLEQUIN The legendary Devilfruit is the mythical Human Human fruit model Harlequin. Based on the "harley" text I think it is pretty save to assume that it is the case. "Hellequin was depicted as a black-faced emissary of the devil, roaming the countryside with a group of demons chasing the damned souls of evil people to Hell" Sounds familiar? Harlequin just like Nika is always laughing but in a malicious way. Harlequin is basically the italian/french version of Loki. A trickster, nobody knows if he is actually doing good or evil things. The Elbaf Giants are mistaking Harlequin for Nika... Basically a "Joker" in a deck of cards (played too much balatro lately)
I saw a reddit comment that said “since there were two times the world was destroyed, the first Nika could have been from 1600 years ago and JoyBoy was 800 years ago and now Luffy is the modern age 800 years later.” I love that theory because it makes so much sense with what we hear in this chapter.
Loki as a kid sounds very similar to naruto as a kid. Everyone hated him because he was a menace, but naruto is actually a good and kind hearted person. Perspective is key.
I think we're overlooking how the sword in the Elder Giant's head is probably hinting at Loki's Devil Fruit power, pair that with Loki's possible transport by Shanks and how Loki will possibly travel with Luffy if he joins the crew and all of this leads me to believe that Loki ate the Space-Space Fruit making Loki a Space Man (lol love the name). Basically this fruit would allow someone to manipulate space as they like whether it be altering how much space someone takes up (aka a giant taking up less space by becoming smaller, possibly with a distortion space like how Bege can use his Castle fruit to make things smaller within a certain range of him) but the fruit could also allow items to move through space regardless whether something is in the way or not, this would all Loki's sword to go through the Elder Giant's head but not kill him and Loki used this ability either on purpose or subconsciously when he stabbed the Elder Giant because in truth he didn't actually want to hurt nor kill the Elder Giant.
I think Luffy is already both Liberator and the Destroyer, he liberated a lot of people already, but every time places around him get destroyed Since the timeskip and sometimes before that every island Luffy visits is completely or partly ravaged by the end of the arc but people are happier and thank him Punk Hazard, lab is in shambles (pun intended) and whole island is unhabitable but children, lackeys and marines were saved Dressrosa, most of the island was sliced, unfixable damage to how the country looks but Doflamingo was exposed and arrested and people were happier Whole Cake Island arc, few islands destroyed in battle, Whole Cake Chateu is in pieces, Forest got a fair share of beating and mirror verse is really destroyed, but people who needed to be liberated were happy (Sanji, at some point Germa, Katakuri liberated at least for a while from his burdens) Wano, Onigashima and Udon got completely destroyed but the civilians REALLY needed a Liberator Egghead, whole island got involved in his battle but Vegapunks are now free from the government and Bonney is a lot happier And some day, Luffy will destroy the Fishman Island, last time Noah got most of the beating But I'm sure Fishman will be thankfull to Luffy in the end
I think that the Harley text are referring to the Eddas that are poems that could be considering a "Bible" of Norse mythology. These poems is where we have the majority of our knowledge of Norse mythology from. Oda just straight up gave it a different name. In the viking age, Runes were used as the written representation of the language. But with the introduction of Christianity and the latin language, this old language was lost in time. Now, the Eddas that were written some 100 years after the end of the Viking age were not exactly written in runes, but in an old form of Norse closely connected to the runes in appearance. This would explain why the giants don't know how to interpret Harley because something got introduced which changed everything. Now tie that together with Ragnarok (also mentioned in the Eddas), then it aligns perfectly with the destruction of the world, as foretold by Sharly.
I think your theory is right, remember when luffy was on fishman island and then there was a girl who predicted the destruction of the island caused by luffy, if we take the fact that nika is a destroyer than it makes a lot of sense.
The devil fruit passed down in the giant royal family has to be the real Gomu Gomu, especially if they know there's a connection between Nika and a fruit that makes someone stretchy. It would be hilarious if Loki announces his attacks with Nika Nika instead of Gomu Gomu.
42:28 Loki gonna get saved by Colin’s dad, holy knights gonna back off because they know Roger’s crew don’t mess around, og 3 gonna pull up after with the keys, Loki and luffy gonna duke it out, then link up 👍
Luffy will probably have to get a power up maybe being taught by some of Joyboy's friends or companions and that is how he will prepare for the final battle in which he fights Imu
I first had this idea many many years ago when I thought Luffy had a special Paramecia or a Logia and his awakening would effect the world around him but with his new Powers I still stand by it. The One Piece is a massive Bouncy Castle and you need someone to awaken the Nika fruit to turn it into Rubber for the ultimate Party
My headcanon right now is this: King Herald was a good king beloved by his people. He changed Elbaf, turning it away from a place that raises its children to be violent and strong in favor of a learned nation valuing peace, trade and prosperity. Loki somehow learned about the World Governments past in Elbaf, before he went out to sea. He feels betrayed by his father being "a coward" and turning tail against the WG, because he lacked guidance from his guardians. At this point he is 1) either tricked by the world government into killing his father, or 2) the holy knights assassinate him, which would explain how they can teleport into the throne room. Either way, Herald is dead, Loki gets the pseudo-Sun God fruit and leads a solo raid on Mary Geoise. The WG needs someone to clean up the mess, and here Shanks comes in. Shanks somehow has ties to the Celestial Dragons, how exactly is irrelevant, because his main goal is to keep peace and balance. He wants change, but waits for Luffy/Nika/Joyboy. If Elbaf went all out to war, the Adam tree would fall into their hands and a big ally against the WG falls off. Shanks stops Loki in his rage, Loki calls him a coward for not joining him even though he has similar values and Shanks packs him up and binds him to Adam with the help of all giants. There are a few gaps, but I'd really love to see even parts of this be right, cuz I love theorycrafting! :> Great video
33:55 This is precisely why Loki killed his father, it was prophesied that he will so that means it was his dads destiny to him too , he probably said the same thing to his dad and just wants to live out his destiny as prophesied. which isn't surprising considering how shunned he is by giants.
I'd say same nika personality, but viewed as destroyer or liberator depending which side of the war the author is on... There is a reason Luffy doesn't want to be viewed as a hero
I wonder if Loki's mom died in some type of honorable combat, but maybe Harold responded poorly to it and that triggered his drive to push for pacifism. Loki could be trying to honor his warrior mom, and that led to a philosophy conflict with Harold.
Elbaph is currently set up to mirror Thriller Bark and i can absolutely see Loki being a direct parallel of Kuma. Having the holy knights be long dead would make so much sense
It can't be both? I'm positive was the world to overthrow capitalism there would be many, many people to consider that destruction of their way of life despite the severe lack of resources the wealthy hoarding everything cause. When the world changes some folks see it as good, some bad, some as destructive and some as liberating.
@@radaro.9682 as much as capitalism is hated , ,the positive side of it is also enjoyed by you ,almost everything we have today's came because of private company competing each other ,communism lack behind so much because there was no reason to go far and beyond
it is both remember the fishman island prediction, luffy is supposed to be the destroyer of fishman island. that will be the case he will destroy the redline which will go down and destroy the fishman island bringing all the fishman to the rest of the world and the discrimination against them ends because the new fishman island will be on top of the sunken red line.
If you search on google about loki of norse mythology it will tell he is a son of a gaint and a goddess(who could probably be a lunarian as they were considered gods) as we have seen oda take references from mythologies before like from hindu mythology (hanuman) and google also says he has a son who is also a wolf and it is also given that he is considered a trickster god, known for being neither fully good nor evil since his main aim was always to create chaos and as we have seen before they can have hybrid of a human and giant it can possibly be that loki is the son of a lunarian and a gaint as mentioned in norse mythology
My theory First theory There were two wars First war Nikka was protagonist and first Sun God he lost to Jormungander and thus red line was formed which is in fact dead body of the snake if you look closely it do resembles a snake eating its own tale Second war Joyboy second sun god and then he lost to Imu third war will be between Luffy and Imu + Jormungander (reawakened) Second theory Loki is Good and King Jarul was evil (my prediction he used to sell Elbaf's children for research of World government) cause Luffy is a guy who can predict who is good or who is bad just sensing them and if luffy says he is good then he is good and I think Elbaff will be of 3 parts first part luffy vs Loki, second part Luffy vs Shanks and third part Luffy vs Holy Knights
No discussion of the new Nika silhouette with a shield with a very familiar design and the strange way they are holding the sword, which is reminiscent of the giant sword of Elbaph? All the clouds in the background plus the sword and shield are clearly hints at something.
King Harald is an interesting parallel to the “last” danish Viking King called Harald Blåtand (Bluetooth) who made all the brutal Vikings become Christian and by that civilizing them. Great content! Cheers from the native Dane 😊
My theory is joy was either Imu’s subordinate or friend or even both, and imu gave joyboy the gomu gomu no mi or gave him the power of nika rather which was meant to be the god of destruction like these other legendary fruits but joyboy betrayed imu and zou knew about joyboys plan and imu used zou to get joyboy hence why zou was punished. And Now the will of joyboy passed in the nika fruit, being the power destined to stop imu that’s why they’ve been chasing it and it’s been evading them
Yooooo! 3:20 Notice how this Nika has a sword and shield and is similar but still quite different from the Nika silhouette we were introduced to in Skypeia with the sword and spear. This Nika definitely has a more sinister aura . This brings me to Loki 10:17 what if there literally are two sun god fruits that each carry the will of the different personas of Nika or something, i know its a stretch but i can't help but feel like there's some relevance in the words of the giants not sure whether Nika is god of laughter or god of liberation or god of destruction etc what if Loki's sun god is a different persona?
Ask the French bourgeois if the Revolution was freeing or destructive. Now pose that question to the same time period labour class. Doesn't have to be different fruits to be both.
@MaZ_and_Beads You assume it was stolen only once. Oda is rarely so straightforward. We only know it ended up in the marine's possession eventually and Shanks took it from them. That doesn't mean it didn't change hands a few times before then. There could be other additional history between Shanks & Loki (or trickery by "Frank" pretending to be Shanks) of course but I think a wild series of seemingly random events getting the fruit to Luffy is exactly Oda's style. Edit: and remember, Shanks wasn't always as strong as he is now.
So Luffy is a destoryer to the outside world. It's possible Loki just knows the prophecies and just expects to need to remake the world through destruction like Luffy will. Those in power all fear an upset to the status quo. And see it as destructive to their way of life.
I think Loki probably learned his philosophy from hajrudin. His older brother but then twisted due to some trauma. Hajrudin was trained as a warrior of elbaph.
So before this chapter I was leaning towards the idea that Loki killed King Harald to liberate Elbaph from the corruption of the World Government which had been slowly starting to take hold. Now I am starting to believe that Loki killed King Harald to liberate Elbaph from his fathers own oppressive decrees. I think that after King Harald heard the prophesy about one of his own sons killing him he decreed that no one in Elbaph was permitted to scold, discipline, or in anyway speak ill of them in the hopes a lack of conflict with his sons could alter the future. Once Loki found out about this, most likely overhearing a bunch of drunken giants during a party, he started acting up to see how far he could take it and over the decades he likely realized how oppressive these decrees were and how none of Elbaphs citizens were permitted to live freely or express themselves as they wanted to. So by killing his father and then setting off to sea Loki actually liberated Elbaph.
hey ohara i got a theory about blackbeard remember when he ate his first fruit which was the yame yame no mi (darkness fruit) his beard started growing and then at marineford when he got whitebeards fruit the tremor tremor fruit his beard split into two and right now his beard split into three. doesnt this mean he ate a third fruit already and i think oda foreshadowed us with blackbeards beards so i highly suggest you make a video about this it actually makes sense because if you replay when we first met him bro barely had a beard and then when he ate the yame yame no mi we first seen him fighting with ace and saw his beard grow and after marineford when he got the tremor tremor fruit his beard split two and now his beard is split to three oda is foreshadowing us at this point crazy.
9:00 but if that's the case why would roger have wanted his son to find one piece and perhaps let him destroy world to save it when he himself didn't do it?
35:00 lokis possible mindset is eerily similar to japanese WWII philosophy... either A) You win(or in lokis case be a strong warrior); B) Die fighting; or C) End your life to maintain honor(loki killing his father) Dont really have anything else just thought it was interesting lol
Theory: What if Pluton ISNT a ship? As we all know Pluton is a “ship” but they are very far back in time, but we know because of Vegapunk, there can be things from recent day that didn’t exist back then. What is Pluton is like a helicopter or something?
The myth of Sun God Nika centers on two original powers: Blue Nika (Punishing): Tears punish those who cause the user pain, turning into blood and bringing death. This Nika is usually kind but rarely cries due to unwavering faith in others. Red Nika (Healing): Tears heal and bring prosperity, crystallizing into blessings. This Nika is often morally ambiguous, rarely crying to avoid being exploited. A synthetic devil fruit was created by Joy Boy and his allies to combine these powers into one, leading to the purple Hito Hito no Mi: Model Nika. Purple symbolizes the unity of red and blue, and its user connects others to Joy Boy’s vision, ending the cycle of duality to create a new era of freedom and unity. Luffy’s fruit embodies this synthesis, showing that Joy Boy’s strength came from collaboration and inspiring others, not just raw power. This new fruit ties the past to the present and redefines what it means to be a Sun God.
I have previously found a lot of different finnish mythos stories being potential inspirations for different parts of the story and here I once again can draw one story: The tale of Perkele. In modern days perkele is basically satan of finnish mythos. How ever, perkele is not evil. He is THE god of destruction, the one to end the world, ruling from the void. However, his goal is never to destroy the world, but to gain freedom from the void. Now, as god of destruction, Perkele is pretty much viewed as the devil but his goals are not what he causes. Destruction is unintentional consequence from his power. While Ukko, the grandfather of skies and god of skies, controls lighting and thunder, Perkele controls wind and storm. Which of the two are the destructive force? Technically both because one can't exist without another. The same is with the very concept of freedom. Anarchy is total freedom yet it is also chaos. Ultimately, it is just duality.
As reference to norse mythology we all had been expecting loki's father to be odin. But now manu bringing up the possibility of mentor to loki, maybe he is odin and killed by harold.
Of course it can be different "Nika" since joyboy was one and Luffy is another. But more importantly I think if he is a god liberation or destruction might just be a matter of perspective. Like how Luffy would bring destruction to the Fish Island.
37:52 what if loki has some sort of wrath or karma power type fruit. He can somehow use negative events and bad karma as power of his own or against specific people. Idk why but kinda reminded me of gryla from red one.
Bombshell: The woman who appears alongside Shanks' "brother" will be connected to Ginny and Saturn. The woman will have purple hair and will be a personal servant/slave of this so-called brother of Shanks. She might also be another one of Saturn's experiments.
they said it took every single worrier giant and shanks to take him down. before we meet Loki they said it took every single worrier giant to subdue him. after meeting Loki we find out shanks helped so it took the entire combination of shanks and all of the Warrior Giants to stop him. But now we find out that it took all of The giants to stop a hurt Loki. That doesn’t make sense
I want to believe that Loki has the second Nika fruit, hence legitimizing his claim of being sun god, and it will definitely explain why Luffy wants to free him.
I'm starting to have hope that Loki actually becomes a strawhat. If his dream is to destroy the world, and it turns out destroying the world is necessary to either save it or to get the One Piece Loki could become the crew's reason to go through with it. I feel like draining the sea is the least direct goal for the crew right now. Plus, having a giant in the main crew would be insane.
I also thought rockz probably had the nika fruit.. but then remembered if that was true then kaido would’ve recognized luffys form from his former captain
Edmund Halley also believed in Hollow Earth Theory, that the earth had multiple revolving rings that caused gravity n magnetic disturbances, its symbol is a series of concentric circles just like imu's eyes?
Oda never said that King Harold was always peaceful. Giants live for a long time, is it not possible that somthing happened between King Harold and Lokis mom and after she died ( most likely violently because their giants ) he decided that the violence wasn't worth it, especially since they couldn't trade due to being at war. TLDR King Harold used to be all about violence but when his country was failing because they couldn't trade and then his wife dies and he switches his philosophies
The giant sword belongs to the version of Nika from Elbaf. I mean, imagine Nikka in the age of heaven having to slaughter or go to war with the ancient giants (Oars' kind).
I think Nika destroying the world in order to save makes sense. At least, it would outright explain why Marijoa is on the grand line. I mean, think about it from the perspective of Imu. You know that Nika always comes back and for him to stop you, he would have to destroy you and your kingdoms by flooding the world, so how do you prevent it? You build your kingdom above everyone else, so in order for Nika to stop you, he has to destroy literally everything else, so there really is no point in doing it. Which might be realisation that Joyboy came upon, hence his failure to bring about a change.
A brief look on Wikipedia led me to the "Harley Lyrics" - a collection of poems from the 14th century. I dont think that these are a DIRECT connection to the "Harley" Oda is using however my brief investigation did bring a few things to my attention. 1) There are 3 distinct authors. This could mirror the "Eras" of the one piece world 2) There is an underlying narrative of "oppositional thematics" Again this probably isnt relevant but its interesting
My theory: the Nika fruit manifest in different forms over the years. When associated with destruction maybe it becomes the yami yami or goru goru. When it’s associated with freedom it’s the gomu gomu. And when it’s associated with laughter it’s whatever Loki the trickster God has. This is why the world government couldn’t track it down.
@@radaro.9682100%. I mean Luffy is predicted to destroy fishmen island. So that can very much be an example. I’m just thinking of curveballs Oda can throw.
I feel like they (strawhats) will meet the holy knights and we are getting a similar scene that we got in dressrosa when luffy met sabo again but this time luffy thinks it's shanks but this "shanks" attacks him when luffy goes in for the hug

I think Luffy is already both Liberator and the Destroyer, he liberated a lot of people already, but every time places around him get destroyed
Since the timeskip and sometimes before that every island Luffy visits is completely or partly ravaged by the end of the arc but people are happier and thank him
Punk Hazard, lab is in shambles (pun intended) and whole island is unhabitable but children, lackeys and marines were saved
Dressrosa, most of the island was sliced, unfixable damage to how the country looks but Doflamingo was exposed and arrested and people were happier
Whole Cake Island arc, few islands destroyed in battle, Whole Cake Chateu is in pieces, Forest got a fair share of beating and mirror verse is really destroyed, but people who needed to be liberated were happy (Sanji, at some point Germa, Katakuri liberated at least for a while from his burdens)
Wano, Onigashima and Udon got completely destroyed but the civilians REALLY needed a Liberator
Egghead, whole island got involved in his battle but Vegapunks are now free from the government and Bonney is a lot happier

There is a reason Luffy doesn't want to be viewed as a hero
Nice video. Trank you very much. Your last words hits hard. Is anyone still listening? Yes! Its me ❤
Bro is not beerus 😭🙏
I wonder if Loki's mom died in some type of honorable combat, but maybe Harold responded poorly to it and that triggered his drive to push for pacifism. Loki could be trying to honor his warrior mom, and that led to a philosophy conflict with Harold.
Elbaph is currently set up to mirror Thriller Bark and i can absolutely see Loki being a direct parallel of Kuma. Having the holy knights be long dead would make so much sense
I believe there is two different versions of nika fruit. Destruction and freedom one luffy have
@@zero1188 same 👋
It can't be both? I'm positive was the world to overthrow capitalism there would be many, many people to consider that destruction of their way of life despite the severe lack of resources the wealthy hoarding everything cause.
When the world changes some folks see it as good, some bad, some as destructive and some as liberating.
@@radaro.9682 as much as capitalism is hated , ,the positive side of it is also enjoyed by you ,almost everything we have today's came because of private company competing each other ,communism lack behind so much because there was no reason to go far and beyond
it is both remember the fishman island prediction, luffy is supposed to be the destroyer of fishman island. that will be the case he will destroy the redline which will go down and destroy the fishman island bringing all the fishman to the rest of the world and the discrimination against them ends because the new fishman island will be on top of the sunken red line.
@abhishekdambal4404 Yeah, cause discrimination ends that simply. Just tell everyone to treat the formerly marginalized equally and they do, right?
If you search on google about loki of norse mythology it will tell he is a son of a gaint and a goddess(who could probably be a lunarian as they were considered gods) as we have seen oda take references from mythologies before like from hindu mythology (hanuman) and google also says he has a son who is also a wolf and it is also given that he is considered a trickster god, known for being neither fully good nor evil since his main aim was always to create chaos and as we have seen before they can have hybrid of a human and giant it can possibly be that loki is the son of a lunarian and a gaint as mentioned in norse mythology
My theory
First theory
There were two wars
First war Nikka was protagonist and first Sun God he lost to Jormungander and thus red line was formed which is in fact dead body of the snake if you look closely it do resembles a snake eating its own tale
Second war Joyboy second sun god and then he lost to Imu
third war will be between Luffy and Imu + Jormungander (reawakened)
Second theory
Loki is Good and King Jarul was evil (my prediction he used to sell Elbaf's children for research of World government) cause Luffy is a guy who can predict who is good or who is bad just sensing them and if luffy says he is good then he is good and I think Elbaff will be of 3 parts first part luffy vs Loki, second part Luffy vs Shanks and third part Luffy vs Holy Knights
No discussion of the new Nika silhouette with a shield with a very familiar design and the strange way they are holding the sword, which is reminiscent of the giant sword of Elbaph? All the clouds in the background plus the sword and shield are clearly hints at something.
King Harald is an interesting parallel to the “last” danish Viking King called Harald Blåtand (Bluetooth) who made all the brutal Vikings become Christian and by that civilizing them. Great content! Cheers from the native Dane 😊
Howndoes bro edit this and upload it in 1 day Ur grinding is crazy u a real one Ohara just don't get a buster call on Ur channel 😂
I'm guessing Loki's dad was being mind controlled by the World Government and begged him for death.
My theory is joy was either Imu’s subordinate or friend or even both, and imu gave joyboy the gomu gomu no mi or gave him the power of nika rather which was meant to be the god of destruction like these other legendary fruits but joyboy betrayed imu and zou knew about joyboys plan and imu used zou to get joyboy hence why zou was punished. And Now the will of joyboy passed in the nika fruit, being the power destined to stop imu that’s why they’ve been chasing it and it’s been evading them
Every time you say “let’s just assume…” I completely check out
Yooooo! 3:20 Notice how this Nika has a sword and shield and is similar but still quite different from the Nika silhouette we were introduced to in Skypeia with the sword and spear. This Nika definitely has a more sinister aura . This brings me to Loki 10:17 what if there literally are two sun god fruits that each carry the will of the different personas of Nika or something, i know its a stretch but i can't help but feel like there's some relevance in the words of the giants not sure whether Nika is god of laughter or god of liberation or god of destruction etc what if Loki's sun god is a different persona?
Ask the French bourgeois if the Revolution was freeing or destructive. Now pose that question to the same time period labour class. Doesn't have to be different fruits to be both.
Oh, another theory of mine. Shanks stole the "Gommu Gommu No Mi" from the Elbaph royal family.
Nope. Shank stole this DF from Marines.
@MaZ_and_Beads You assume it was stolen only once. Oda is rarely so straightforward. We only know it ended up in the marine's possession eventually and Shanks took it from them. That doesn't mean it didn't change hands a few times before then.
There could be other additional history between Shanks & Loki (or trickery by "Frank" pretending to be Shanks) of course but I think a wild series of seemingly random events getting the fruit to Luffy is exactly Oda's style.
Edit: and remember, Shanks wasn't always as strong as he is now.
Podcast you started? What happened to Blue Banana Podcast?
So Luffy is a destoryer to the outside world. It's possible Loki just knows the prophecies and just expects to need to remake the world through destruction like Luffy will.
Those in power all fear an upset to the status quo. And see it as destructive to their way of life.
Shanks twin named Spanks
what about if loki would join the strawhats the same way oden joined whitebeard?
I think Loki probably learned his philosophy from hajrudin. His older brother but then twisted due to some trauma. Hajrudin was trained as a warrior of elbaph.
So before this chapter I was leaning towards the idea that Loki killed King Harald to liberate Elbaph from the corruption of the World Government which had been slowly starting to take hold. Now I am starting to believe that Loki killed King Harald to liberate Elbaph from his fathers own oppressive decrees. I think that after King Harald heard the prophesy about one of his own sons killing him he decreed that no one in Elbaph was permitted to scold, discipline, or in anyway speak ill of them in the hopes a lack of conflict with his sons could alter the future. Once Loki found out about this, most likely overhearing a bunch of drunken giants during a party, he started acting up to see how far he could take it and over the decades he likely realized how oppressive these decrees were and how none of Elbaphs citizens were permitted to live freely or express themselves as they wanted to. So by killing his father and then setting off to sea Loki actually liberated Elbaph.
hey ohara i got a theory about blackbeard remember when he ate his first fruit which was the yame yame no mi (darkness fruit) his beard started growing and then at marineford when he got whitebeards fruit the tremor tremor fruit his beard split into two and right now his beard split into three. doesnt this mean he ate a third fruit already and i think oda foreshadowed us with blackbeards beards so i highly suggest you make a video about this it actually makes sense because if you replay when we first met him bro barely had a beard and then when he ate the yame yame no mi we first seen him fighting with ace and saw his beard grow and after marineford when he got the tremor tremor fruit his beard split two and now his beard is split to three oda is foreshadowing us at this point crazy.
9:00 but if that's the case why would roger have wanted his son to find one piece and perhaps let him destroy world to save it when he himself didn't do it?
11:28 it is like the avatar cycle but it is the nika cycle
35:00 lokis possible mindset is eerily similar to japanese WWII philosophy... either A) You win(or in lokis case be a strong warrior); B) Die fighting; or C) End your life to maintain honor(loki killing his father)
Dont really have anything else just thought it was interesting lol
So great, Manu got the W he deserves!
Ohara I haven't subbed but I've been watching ur vids for a long time and ur theories are amazing so u have earned urself a new sub
Theory: What if Pluton ISNT a ship? As we all know Pluton is a “ship” but they are very far back in time, but we know because of Vegapunk, there can be things from recent day that didn’t exist back then. What is Pluton is like a helicopter or something?
The myth of Sun God Nika centers on two original powers:
Blue Nika (Punishing): Tears punish those who cause the user pain, turning into blood and bringing death. This Nika is usually kind but rarely cries due to unwavering faith in others.
Red Nika (Healing): Tears heal and bring prosperity, crystallizing into blessings. This Nika is often morally ambiguous, rarely crying to avoid being exploited.
A synthetic devil fruit was created by Joy Boy and his allies to combine these powers into one, leading to the purple Hito Hito no Mi: Model Nika. Purple symbolizes the unity of red and blue, and its user connects others to Joy Boy’s vision, ending the cycle of duality to create a new era of freedom and unity.
Luffy’s fruit embodies this synthesis, showing that Joy Boy’s strength came from collaboration and inspiring others, not just raw power. This new fruit ties the past to the present and redefines what it means to be a Sun God.
Have they stopped the subbed episodes of the show? I keep checking on Sundays and it’s recaps from season one fishman saga.
Stranger things and one piece feel like theyre the only things that can have truly satisfying endings
I have previously found a lot of different finnish mythos stories being potential inspirations for different parts of the story and here I once again can draw one story:
The tale of Perkele. In modern days perkele is basically satan of finnish mythos.
How ever, perkele is not evil. He is THE god of destruction, the one to end the world, ruling from the void. However, his goal is never to destroy the world, but to gain freedom from the void. Now, as god of destruction, Perkele is pretty much viewed as the devil but his goals are not what he causes. Destruction is unintentional consequence from his power. While Ukko, the grandfather of skies and god of skies, controls lighting and thunder, Perkele controls wind and storm. Which of the two are the destructive force? Technically both because one can't exist without another.
The same is with the very concept of freedom. Anarchy is total freedom yet it is also chaos.
Ultimately, it is just duality.
As reference to norse mythology we all had been expecting loki's father to be odin. But now manu bringing up the possibility of mentor to loki, maybe he is odin and killed by harold.
0:17 no there wasnt many nikas but many interpretations of nika
He makes a lot of massive conclusions and frequently gets blatant story facts wrong haha
@@Datduuudeee not to be that guy but yeah a lot of his videos now have wrong info in them tbh
@Serovious nah man I agree. It's weird, not sure what happened
@@Serovious not now. It's always been that way
@@danielhanlon8438 yes its more often now specifically, ive watched this guy for years g
Of course it can be different "Nika" since joyboy was one and Luffy is another. But more importantly I think if he is a god liberation or destruction might just be a matter of perspective. Like how Luffy would bring destruction to the Fish Island.
37:52 what if loki has some sort of wrath or karma power type fruit. He can somehow use negative events and bad karma as power of his own or against specific people. Idk why but kinda reminded me of gryla from red one.
Bombshell: The woman who appears alongside Shanks' "brother" will be connected to Ginny and Saturn. The woman will have purple hair and will be a personal servant/slave of this so-called brother of Shanks. She might also be another one of Saturn's experiments.
they said it took every single worrier giant and shanks to take him down.
before we meet Loki they said it took every single worrier giant to subdue him.
after meeting Loki we find out shanks helped so it took the entire combination of shanks and all of the Warrior Giants to stop him.
But now we find out that it took all of The giants to stop a hurt Loki. That doesn’t make sense
30:38 Gildarts Clive had enough of not being given the screentime he deserves and Isekai-ed himself to One Piece world with a magic circle.
U stole thos comment I've seen it before
Has anyone noticed that the bandage looks like the "To be continued" arrow
I want to believe that Loki has the second Nika fruit, hence legitimizing his claim of being sun god, and it will definitely explain why Luffy wants to free him.
There are not a bunch of nikas. There is 1. Fruits are interpretations by different people
Wake'n'bake heaven this morning woke up at 7 to a new GLR video and now Ohara Sic!
I'm starting to have hope that Loki actually becomes a strawhat. If his dream is to destroy the world, and it turns out destroying the world is necessary to either save it or to get the One Piece Loki could become the crew's reason to go through with it. I feel like draining the sea is the least direct goal for the crew right now. Plus, having a giant in the main crew would be insane.
I also thought rockz probably had the nika fruit.. but then remembered if that was true then kaido would’ve recognized luffys form from his former captain
Rocks had the Nika devil fruit!! I need this video please 🙏🏼❤
These chapter reviews are getting out of hand (46 min???) 😂
Nah, I'm gonna watch all this non stop❤
This is the matrix. How neo has to pick at the end
you are the goat ohara
Morevideos on Rox! One of the most fascinating characters that hasnt been fully revealed yet
Edmund Halley also believed in Hollow Earth Theory, that the earth had multiple revolving rings that caused gravity n magnetic disturbances, its symbol is a series of concentric circles just like imu's eyes?
Oda never said that King Harold was always peaceful. Giants live for a long time, is it not possible that somthing happened between King Harold and Lokis mom and after she died ( most likely violently because their giants ) he decided that the violence wasn't worth it, especially since they couldn't trade due to being at war. TLDR King Harold used to be all about violence but when his country was failing because they couldn't trade and then his wife dies and he switches his philosophies
Nice video👍
bandages(weapon?) Gunko uses looks very similar to what Imu used against Cobra, and visually reminds me a little of Moria too
I think the one piece is one big mountain where those who survived the flood took refuge, maybe even named themselves D. I don't know, could be.
The fact that her bandage was shaped like an arrow exactly the same IMU launched when attacking king cobra, maybe she was the one who stabbed him 🧐
I do not personally think two nikas existed, because the five elders might have already memtioned before
The giant sword belongs to the version of Nika from Elbaf. I mean, imagine Nikka in the age of heaven having to slaughter or go to war with the ancient giants (Oars' kind).
I think Nika destroying the world in order to save makes sense. At least, it would outright explain why Marijoa is on the grand line.
I mean, think about it from the perspective of Imu.
You know that Nika always comes back and for him to stop you, he would have to destroy you and your kingdoms by flooding the world, so how do you prevent it?
You build your kingdom above everyone else, so in order for Nika to stop you, he has to destroy literally everything else, so there really is no point in doing it. Which might be realisation that Joyboy came upon, hence his failure to bring about a change.
Before I even watch this i have a strong feeling that this doesn't need to be 46 minutes long..
A brief look on Wikipedia led me to the "Harley Lyrics" - a collection of poems from the 14th century. I dont think that these are a DIRECT connection to the "Harley" Oda is using however my brief investigation did bring a few things to my attention.
1) There are 3 distinct authors. This could mirror the "Eras" of the one piece world
2) There is an underlying narrative of "oppositional thematics"
Again this probably isnt relevant but its interesting
My theory: the Nika fruit manifest in different forms over the years. When associated with destruction maybe it becomes the yami yami or goru goru. When it’s associated with freedom it’s the gomu gomu. And when it’s associated with laughter it’s whatever Loki the trickster God has. This is why the world government couldn’t track it down.
What is destruction to the rich is liberation to the poor. Very easy to have the same fruit and even same manifestation be both.
@@radaro.9682100%. I mean Luffy is predicted to destroy fishmen island. So that can very much be an example. I’m just thinking of curveballs Oda can throw.
Nika and Joyboy and Luffy oh boy One Piece is getting crazy
imagine if one piece world is actually upside down. kinda solves the water level rising problem
Damn the quality of the video is so good. Last time i watched your channel was a while ago .. :D
I feel like they (strawhats) will meet the holy knights and we are getting a similar scene that we got in dressrosa when luffy met sabo again but this time luffy thinks it's shanks but this "shanks" attacks him when luffy goes in for the hug
Loki not lashing out at "shanks" means that he is not shanks
Loki is one of the only characters that Luffy actually mentioned by his real name .
I love ur vids bro has me hooked
