Hey Morj, what happened to your stream from yesterday? It's not on your channel anymore...
Morj always got the food sponsorships
Kizaru has the complexity deep with in him.
Kizaru sold his soul for unlimited zaza definitely a dub
Nah for real, he stay light and lifted
Just like me fr
Kizaru saw the camaro and the zaza and said where do I sign
Literally me
Lmao
Power of Ice, warm heart.
Power of Lava, cold heart.
Power of Light, a heart shrouded in darkness.
Poetry man.
That is honestly beautiful.
damn
Power of growth seeks destruction
Power of gravity seeks balance
Power of lightspeed, slow asf
The admirals seem to be the "peak" of why somebody joins up in the marines. Kuzan joined up because he wanted to help people, Sakazuki wanted to kill as many pirates as possible, Issho accepted to change the marines from within, Aramaki is racist, and Kizaru joined for a career.
yeah kizaru joined for admiral's perks 😂
How is racism aramaki's biggest characteristic?
@@sweetcrepebecause he’s shown his entire worldview is racism based, he’s natural justice, and the way he sees that is based in outdated racist outlooks if it were to be transitioned to irl.
Kizaru joined because they promised him a bag of weed every week. Luffy needs to start growing some plants and maybe he can get Kizaru to switch sides 😅
@@JT-gi8rxbro they literally have a planters as an admiral that’s a losing battle man
I've been loving all the characterization the Admirals have been getting lately. Egghead has been phenomenal.
This video has age well because it is a tragic story at the end of the arc. Kizaru is a broken man after killing his best friend and following through with his mission.
Kizaru’s reminding me a lot of the main antagonist of Fahrenheit 451 (Captain Beatty). He’s acutely aware what he’s doing is morally incorrect and against his own desires, but is simply unwilling to act against his superiors and the establishment at large
Mabe he’ll be able to follow his own will at some point after all Luffy does have the power to attract people and make them Allies.
Marvelous insight. And you're right. Reminds me of the quote of the only way evil wins is if good men do nothing. Light has always been a archetypal symbol of good. Not just a physical phenomenon but a representation of positivity. I hope Kizaru finds his light.
@@sourcesymbiosismetamorphis2228maybe too much light blinded his eyes 😅
if Kizaru is captain beatty, would that make kuzan his montag since much like montag, kuzan started questioning his role and the government, and both were influenced by a girl the government had their eyes on and was after (nico robin paralleling clarisse)
I didn't expect to see a parallel between Fahrenheit 451 and One Piece. Mostly because I'm a freshman who just finished reading the book.
Chapter 1124...he just underwent DEPRESSION after terminating Vegapunk... his best friend
This is always the best kind of Morj video, character and writing analysis. Great stuff!
Oda has nailed Kizaru "unclear justice", i literaly have no idea if he will continue to be loyal to the goverment or not, both could happen (altrough he appears to be more on the goverment side).
Egghead also deals with work enviroment, especially of Japan where it is to harsh. Sentomaru was called in his day off. Egghead has a "fabrio-phrase". The admirals are servants of the Tenryuubito that they deslike. Kuma was literaly programed to obey but he apperantly is revolting. Vegapunk was the most valuable worker for the goverment, helping people across the world, but will get k1lled because he disagree with one topic. Workers and their relation with their Bosses is the main thing of this arc.
I guess this just means that Kizaru follows the formal justice of laws and institutions. It is not a moral, ethical or corrupted justice, but the justice of what the institutions (World Government and Navy) say what justice is. A justice that abstains from personal values.
And also for the WG The Shichibukai turned out to be unnecessary staff members whose whose work now gets done by artificially (scientifically?) created replicas Seraphims are.
Oda making use of the spirit in the Che Guevara flag he has in his office fr
As a lazy person myself, how Oda sensei will develop Kizaru is the most interesting event in this arc for me.
Get your lazy ass out bed and follow your dreams… in the words of Luffy
He is not lazy at all, he wants to do everything.
It’s not cool to be lazy homie
@@Five_Elders But what can I do when I can't see a proper path to achieve my goals. Even my college education didn't show me a path or way to work towards my goals. College only taught me to be "just another cog in the machine" from the words of Admiral Kizaru.
@@adityakumartoppo1391make a path
His character has been a pleasant surprise, Monkey D Luffy vs the Yellow Monkey of course is not lost on us. The idea of Kizaru deeply envying pirates, particularly Luffy and his allies, really paints the story in a new light. He’s easygoing because he really doesn’t find joy in taking down pirates. As in, on some level he kinda would rather let them play out their fate because somewhere in him he thinks “man…must be nice”. And it’s been manageable because at least most pirates are scum. and at least the good ones (shanks, Whitebeard / ace) are less concerned with freedom and more concerned with family, protecting their loved ones, and keeping the peace. If you’re cool they’re cool.
But when you deal with someone who says screw peace, I’m running up in your backyard and freeing _everyone_ then it’s a new problem. You can no longer dodge this confrontation with freedom anymore, because this new pirate wants smoke and he’s bringing the theme of freedom right to your face. You’re not fighting evil pirates or handling some political situation, you’re being ordered to fight those who represent a deep desire you may have not appreciated. Obviously if Kizaru _really_ wanted Luffy dead, and hated him the way Akainu does, Luffy would not have seen the end of marineford. But Luffy’s alive and on some level Kizaru kinda wants to see what this liberator can actually do. If these people really can find freedom on the seas. Same way he doesn’t _want_ to kill vegapunk or sentomaru, he doesn’t actually _want_ to stop this liberator. He’ll give it a decent try if he’s ordered to. But now things are getting real, Vegapunk has gone too far, Luffy is too strong, and a decent try won’t cut it for his bosses anymore. It’s time to kill that buried desire for freedom, along with some of his loved ones. And with that we see indifference revealed to be depression.
There are some analyses comparing the Marine structure in One Piece to the rigid corporative hierarchy in Japan. This is a common theme in art and obviously in manga there. From this perspective, the admiral's would portray different points of view, or behaviours, in this system. Akainu is the person that fully accepts and complies with the rules, therefore climbing up to higher positions. Aokiji learned the problems in the system during his career and decided to rebel against it. Fujitora joined the system aware of its problems and planning to change it from inside. Aramaki seems to admire his bosses and wants to work for them. In the case of Kizaru, I used to think of him being the aceptive person that is only there because he needs a job and does what is asked without much commitment to any cause. However, what you said seems like a deeper interpretation. Now I think Kizaru is the person who dislikes how things work but bends to it, restricting his will with a superficial indiference and becoming depressed.
Always been my favourite marine character even when i didn’t expect any depth to him. If Oda does this arc right, he might become my favorite character period
My thoughts exactly.
I didnt much like him prior, hes cool but I’m a huge sucker for fantastic writing so I obviously think very highly of Aokiji, but Oda could make Kizaru a VERY well written character if he wants to and it’s actually so exciting to be watching it in full time. Makes me glad to enjoy reading and have a love for writing!
wonder if kizaru ever be on that zaza or if it'd make a change 🤔
It has just in the manga. Theirs a thing for kizaru in their. Idk what he’s doing maybe going to fight gear 5th luffy?
Dont ask
I hope Kizaru gets a Redemption and he breaks the chains he placed on himself. The Sun God must free the Light
Damn right! Freedom is contagious.
The Sun God must free the light. Brilliant..
I like this. I think it's a lot less corny of an idea since Kizaru also seems to be the most obedient of the original admirals. Akainu will disobey orders to punish, while Aokiji has simply allowed things to happen and taken a step back, Kizaru may screw around by knocking out every pirate in sight but he ultimately doesn't have any goals besides what he's been given. It makes me really want to see what he could become had he chose his own path
@@arunabhalahiri4931 Brilliant indeed
Bs he doesnt need some bs
I wonder if Kizaru will have a Aokiji moment like in Ohara, Kizaru doesn't actively turn traitor against the WG ( he gets the lab, He rescues York, maybe even kill the main Vegapunk). But he allows Lilith to leave, since she is also Vegapunk and have his will continue on
I doubt he'll outright join Luffy or anything, but he'll probably disobey orders at least. He talks about himself in the manner of a depressed salaryman and sarcastically remarks "oh WOW, I sure do LOVE being a government slave!", or something to that effect. He clearly doesn't want to be doing this.
@CantusTropus It makes me wonder if for the most part, Kizaru's whole motivation to be an admiral was just for the job perks, just like you said as a salary man.
@@mylesjude233, if it clearly was only job perks then he should’ve joined the ranks of the Bounty Hunters and worked himself up to a Yonko Level Bounty Hunter like Buggy the Clown otherwise as we’ve already seen him, Green Bull, and Akainu are the World Government’s bitches hence why Fujitora didn’t stop the Revolutionaries in the Reverie, him not saving Garp, and him not killing/capturing the Strawhat Pirates in Egghead so besides Smoker’s Marines and SWORD the only true Marine officers are those that are like Fujitora and X-Drake hence why even if I were offered a job in the Marines I’d never willingly join the ranks of the Marines.
@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr Unlike anyone listed here, so far Kizaru has not had any stated ambitions for wanting to be an admiral ( Akainu wants to enforce absolute justice, Aokiji wanted to take a more moderate approach to fighting pirates, Greenbull is a celestial dragon sycophant, and Fujitora wanted to abolish the warlord system. Kizaru has no real reason to want to climb/work towards the rank of admiral other than it just being the top rung for a marine on the corporate ladder. He's the 9/5 working man admiral saying it's a living.
He already had that.Kizaru is the reason the Sun Pirates , thus Jinbei are still alive to this day , otherwise the wrath of the Celestials for the Koala incident would have lead to them getting executed.This was shown in Tiger's backstory in the Fishman Island arc.
3:51 I've always found Akainu and Kizaru's ankle flexibility to be insane. Seriously, sitting with your ankle on top of your knee with your toes pointed down!?
Well they have to be very strong to be an admiral, I wouldn't be surprised if they do their stretches as well lol
That's normal mobility bro , get yourself checked if you can't even sit like that
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodghost. I realized that I couldn’t put my toe down
Given how Kizaru's been reacting to Gear 5 Luffy, my hypothesis is that he wonders whether or not Luffy's become strong enough to atually make a difference, and that while he'll fight the Straw Hats because that's what he's been ordered to do, he'll use this battle as a test to determinate if he can rely on them.
Y'all need to share Morj more. This kind of analysis is too rare in the community
True
Faxs
People just loves those slidey shit that is beautiful to their eyes.
And the raid failing as well.
I could find dozens of channels that take 4 minutes of detail and stretch it over 10 minutes for view time.
Kizaru is the middle child.
Still trying to please and still being ignored.
Loved when you said “ The Freest Man versus A Man Who Doesn’t Know How To Be Free”, fantastic analysis right there 👌👌
Everyone just talks about how strong kizaru is but morj asking how kizaru feels ? That’s why this channel is goated
I personally think Kizaru is written to fall here. The man who took everything away from the Straw Hats, will now watch as he himself loses everything. The finale will be the bookend as he, beaten and likely discarded, will admit that Luffy is the correct one here, and to live free.
I agree
He doesn't like with what the marines have become but has essentially given up on fighting against it
It's his job to follow orders yet with vegapunk and sentomaru, arguably his best friend and son like figure you can see him visibly torn on the order.
He's stuck between a rock and a hard place with luffy possibly being the one to liberate him.
@@Bergamont45 so in a sense, he wants luffy to win but he also cannot hold back so he's basically hoping that luffy is actually stronger than him
i dont think he will fall in your sense. i think he'll let luffy slide paving the way for the egghead incident
@@T33K4YT4NK_ if he does what you say, he will be punished and will die.

I do think there will be a obituary in this arc for at least some person. This arc is announcing itself to be quite tragic.
@@Arzan_Noah7952a few people already did. Heck compaired to the other arcs this already has the most current time deaths. (Not flashbacks)
This age well, if kizaru save straw hat and eggman before Marines beat kizaru
Kizaru controlled by marine 💔
This aged well
Something that is interesting and funny to me, is while Kizaru keeps saying he's reluctant, there are times where I wonder if he is secretly enjoying himself a bit.. like if Kizaru has a secret sadistic side or something
It’s pretty hard to say that anyone in the verse dislikes fighting. I assume he loves a good challenge/chance to show off just as much as the next guy or girl
A sadist wouldn't protect the Sun Pirates from false accusations and thus save another member of Luffy's crew in their flashback.
Imagine if Kizaru chooses to save Vagepunk in the end and defy the WG and helps Luffy escape only to then have Saturn kill him. Would be tragic.
Kizaro would probably say something like: "Well, here goes my pension"
Please don't jinx it 🥺
Phenomenal video Morj, I really like how Oda is showcasing the Aokiji, Akainu, & Kizaru. You’re totally right, Luffy is the perfect opponent for Kizaru
I never thought about how the Seraphim really play into the themes of the arc. Good stuff Worj
For me personally, at this point in the story, Kizaru's Justice represents following the letter of the law exactly as it is given out, which means accepting all the contradictions that come with that.
In this world, the marines enforce the law to maintain the World Government's rule over the land. They do this under the guise of "maintaining order." This need to appear like you're just doing what's right while actually serving your own goals will eventually lead to some contradictory orders. Such as slavery being abolished, but the Celestial Dragons can still own slaves.
Akainu understands the spirit of the law in this way, because he agrees with it completely. He believes that the hierarchy needs to exist to keep people in line. He wasn't ordered to kill innocents on Ohara, but understood it was in the spirit of the law to do so. It didn't matter if Ace was already dead, it was in the spirit of the law to kill all pirates there. His understanding is all-encompassing, absolute.
Aokiji struggled with the contradictions, and only did enough to keep the world in order, until the contradictions became too much and he had to quit. When he did work, it was just enough to keep the peace, what would look lazy from the outside.
Kizaru accepts the contradictions as they are. He may struggle with them, but that doesn't deter him. He just follows orders as they're given, and so that makes his justice Unclear - it's filled with every contradiction that the law brings.
He's essentially an Admiral continuously on a Work-to-Rule protest.
this is it! most likely fr
Kizaru came off as a troll at first, mainly because of his funny face. But when you mentioned in the revenge video that he kicked luffy three times I actually had to realize that he never really went for the kill on anyone, almost like aokiji. Bro even shot the key off of luffy instead of shooting at him. Although now that I think about he did kill zehir like a cold bastard.
This could be explained prior to he's a troll or he doesn't actually wanna do any work or even with him knowing dragon (which might be more realistic than ever now). But with the newest development it seems that it really changed into he doesn't wanna unnecessarily hurt people. Now I could even imagine a backstory of him trying to make the system better from the inside and realizing that even as admiral he can't do much.
I hope this fight is gonna turn out like the luffy and katakuri fight where they are gonna start liking each other as the fight progresses.
I honestly believe that Saturn's presence in the Egghead op is to put a tight leash onto Kizaru to keep him from becoming like Aokiji. Both Kizaru and Aokiji lack the sadistic glee of eliminating pirates or more specifically the WG's problems like CP0 and Akainu have.
@@J-manliTrue,even Saturn caught on to this after mentioning Kizaru taking longer than usual with completing his tasks
I'm gonna guess Kizaru is someone who has already attained his "dream": becoming an admiral, and this'll be an exploration on how dreams aren't the "end of the road" in life (what'll Luffy do after he finds the One Piece?)
Go to the moon?
The journey never ends.
Interesting point but we do know that Luffy has a dream beyond becoming the Pirate King so there's that.
“Everybody I've met...was all the same...Everyone had to be drunk on somethin' to keep pushing on. Everyone...was a slave to somethin”
Shush dont make it pointless
There was one other antagonist who was went through an inner conflict about his mission and that was Katakuri.
Kizaru is like a much goofier version of Michael Myers. He's practically unstoppable, incredibly violent, and has no reason. That's scarier than Akainu.
One piece 1124
Kizaru might refuse to follow through and get killed by Saturn. I feel like having indecision is what would get you killed in the One Piece world
Yup its the same thing i believe too, kizaru is getting killed by a gorosei or imu EoS as hes not going to outright attack them or help luffy but let his true justice or desires be known and not act out orders, soldiers with principles usually dont last long unless they change teams
Nah I hate the idea of these old bums being stronger than admirals they can’t kill then they’re not that strong
@@Mohamad-m7md the gorosei can be as strong as the plot needs them to be, they can be stronger than admirals and yonkous but might be genrally nerfed for plot, might be that their hubris wont let them do the dirty work or imu may need the yonkous around as a deterrent and thus hasnt sent the gorosei to take em out
@@mokaljordan
They’re not stronger than admirals that’s why Kizaru spat on Saturn’s mouth and told him call me daddy
@@Mohamad-m7md i dont remember when kizaru did that lmao. Individually the gorosei may not be stronger than an admiral but its possible, i wont die on the hill that they are stronger but i see that plot precedes powerscaling thats why oda is inconsistent with haki usage and why luffy wont one shot anyone(unless its bellamy) no matter how strong he gets
I think kizaru will be failed justice and we will learn that kizaru tried his own justice but made decisions that got a bunch of his friends killed and to relieve the burden of responsibility has chosen to follow orders so the responsibility of choice no longer falls on him.
Akainu situation with Kuma is almost like he's talking about himself. When he refers to Kuma as a dog. I say this because usually how you perceive/think of others is how you think of yourself. Kuma still has a cause that is inherently worth fighting for. Akainu calls him a dog but thats essentially how he sees himself. Most of the greatest pirates in one piece have free will. While the marines follow strict protocol. Their service is understood but just because a pirate's motive isn't always transparent doesnt mean that they're malicious. Luffy is the perfect example. My boy is just misunderstood. Hes going after one thing. Pirates & marines are simply getting in the way lol.
You cooked and I ate good 💯🙏🏾🍽
As I already said in some other videos, Kizaru gives me strong Gin Ichimaru vibes. I might be wrong, but I feel like Oda has great plans for him!
I’m calling it now, ol bison Saturn is going to kill him
@@jayxav3159 I'd not like that at all, as Kizaru is my fav, but it's certainly possible. Maybe he decides to go against his orders after all, and we don't know how strong Saturn is yet, but we know he doesn't care about human life at all
@@CanalKizaru you have to also look at the original 3 admirals as well. One walked away, one is still with them and now one will die. What can be bigger incident on egghead than an admiral dying?
@@jayxav3159 You got a point. All we can do is wait to see how it unfolds
This is starting seem like the greatest display of collective character writing that Oda has done thus far. Egghead will likely end up a top 5 arc ever by its conclusion.
Oda has been holding out on us. He's been saving the best for last. I hope One Piece has the greatest ending in Shonen manga history
Stop the downplay egghead is easily a top 3 arc already
Definitely
Water 7, Alabasta, War Saga and East Blue are top but the final Saga is starting really great!
Much better than the massive four emperor saga at least
All this time luffy fought the villain with whom he himself had nothing to do he had no history with them but from now on kizaru, akainu, and Blackbeard he has history with them specially against akainu and Blackbeard
Kizaru is what Larry from Pokemon SV will be if he keeps climbing.
Also there is a reason why Kuma is heading to Egghead. Your description of Kizaru on a semantic level is the same we think of Kuma as explained to us on a computered level. If a programmed slave as Kuma still struggles, there is no reason Kizaru can't switch.
He’s joining the straw hat pirates
We need Adam Sandler for live action Kizaru
I never considered what Kizarus justice meant before. Very interesting
I'm still not sure Kizaru will flip. Unless his personality does a total 180, which would be jarring. He might regret what he's doing to Sentomaru and Vegapunk, but he's made his choices and is comfortable enough with it. Akainu honestly seems more likely to bite back at the World Government.
What are these ads man... I have never seen anything like this, somehow they blend perfectly.
Ohh man. One of the best kizaru video on TH-cam
Luffy can sense conflict in Kizaru, maybe that's why he is just trying him out...
I hope so
Thats a cope 😂
dumbest thing I've read so far
Probably no, Luffy can sense emotions...@@tygrenvoltaris4782
stop @@tygrenvoltaris4782
I believe the reason Kizaru and certain other people might have moral dilemmas is because Luffy is a living prophecy. When some of these people chose their evil path they believed they had no other choice with how the world is. But Luffy is literally disputing the status quo by physically fighting the world superpows with a chance at beating them. Do they want to be on the wrong side of history?
And to add to that Kizaru might realize if the side he chose means killing people he cares about then Luffy's prophecy is even more preferred.
A) The denizens of the OP universe believed that Ace would succeed Roger.
B) WG had no qualms putting down Ace.
C) AFAIK, nobody in the WG knows about Joyboy except the Gorosei.
Oda is starting to peel back the layers of Kizaru and Sakazuki and I'm very excited. Kuzan already got a lot of that pretty early on, but even "absolute Justice man" and "funny troll man" have more going on inside them.
Kizaru is on zaza just like me 😮😅😊
I believe Kizaru will go down as the cog that he sees himself as. With Akainu you already have someone who's vehemently obedient to the government, Aokiji has already defected to pirates, so Kizaru who's always been in the middle will remain there, holding his feelings close to chest and both feet planted on both sides of the fence as a tragic representation of the lack of free will.
Kizaru is just a 9-5 worker who suddenly became OP and searched for a (legal) job. The marines offered exactly that:
Do what you are told, satisfy your employers, climb the ladder, and try to have a good attitude while on it. Just another cog on the machine.
Wow I did even notice the Underlining theme, good Job Morj 👍🏾
@aamirecan he’s a morjing member
@aamirecan I'm a Morjin Time Member.
What are the odds Kizaru becomes an Ally? A mirror for Kuzan and Blackbeard?
That would definetly shake the world. It's one thing for a former Admiral to join a pirate crew, but a current one? It would once again show Luffy's true power, to bring people together, even former enemies
ive been thinking, that kizaru still has his soul. The need for kizaru to "accelerate" implies that as a light man he still has mass but not from physical mass but the mass of his soul which is 21g which was referenced. Maybe as his fight goes on and he reminisces more and more, he gets slower and slower
First Oda showed us Yonkos (BB vs Law, Shanks vs Kidd, etc), Then Gorosei & Imu-sama (Mother Flame) Nd Now it's Admirals time.
Aokiji : Had to fight Garp against his will.
Kizaru : Has to fight his own found family.
Akainu : Has a past with Bonney and now interacted with Kuma.
I guess next it'll be Yonko vs Gorosei / Admirals.
Seeing how Bonney, Kuma, sentomaru, Vegapunk and kizaru having a pizza party, enjoying eating and dancing together makes my heart hurts so much, especially having kizaru kill his friends..
Always good content Morj but this video was especially awesome. Had a different feel from your usual stuff, almost like you said about kizaru himself, I noticed a little extra passion and character hearing you talk about this
Kizaru seems to have cloudy justice. He seems to be a bit cloud headed, have internal struggle at times and what’s above the clouds? The sun which beams light.
interesting the other major villain in this arc luffy has fought, lucci, is someone who has also resigned himself to the command of the world government, but rather than it being a restriction on his freedom, the world government gives him the freedom to carry out his own desire, that being an unending bloodthirst
I believe Luffy will be the catalyst here. He can get a read on Kizaru like he did Katakuri. "It depends on what kind of person they are."
If he sense Kizaru's hesitation, our MC can decide then and there to help him, or tell Kizaru to do differently. From here is when Kizaru will make his choice, will the cog fly out of the machine from the pressure, will it stop working long enough for his loved ones to get away, or will it turn even faster. Egghead = 🔥🔥🔥
If light is actually light in One Piece, I’m pretty sure Kizaru could have speed blitz Luffy
the guy seems incredibly calm (or bro is just high in that weed)
Like when he hears about Kaido’s alliance with Big Mom, he like “want me to go sort it out”
He meets Rayleigh and he’s like “didn’t expect to see such a big face here”
I'm gonna get factor, afterall who am I to disagree with Uncle Morj
For years, ive just wanted to see why akainu hates pirates so much. I want to understand that kid with a cap that says justice, holding a bloody knife.
Just to clarify, im referencing a drawing oda made of akainu as a child.
My guess is his archetype is based on Javert from les miserables. Maybe his parents were parents were pirates.
I like to think that pirates raided his village and killed his parents or someone close to him.
That is such a deep thumbnail
maybe that shark is how york got those prisoners
The world government is going to be a completely different type of opponents. Until we get to Imu, everyone else is just following their will. Their ranks are made up of people with their own goals, similar to black beards crew. This is going to be the factor that makes this last saga truly something to seen.
In a way, Kizaru is oppressing his own freedom.
The title and the thumbnail go crazy 🔥
chapter 1100 really show why Kizaru doesnt want to hurt Vegapunk, Sentomaru and Bonney. even tho the backstory about Kuma it still have hint about Kizaru and the others
I waited until the most recent chapter (at this time 1103) to watch this and in said chapter you can see his level of uncertainty on his face as the events unfold albeit briefly. So I can see whatever he ends up doing either before or after Egghead ends being VERY big.
At first I thought kisaru would go easy on vegapank a little but more focus on luffy .
Now I think its the opposite kisaru is fighting with all he has and trying to end every thing as quickly as possible to feel less pain for what he has been ordered to do .
Of all the characters who may have theorised that there's some kind of secret leader behind the WG, Vegapunk is definitely the most likely.
I wonder how much Kizaru actually knows? He could be playing a much longer game of chess than we think.
That sponsor insert was craaaazy haha
Ironic that man who can turn into light and should be the most free man of all, choose to be someone else’s tool.
Brett Cooper level ad transitions lol
Kizaru can't lose rest of his free will after fighting with God of the Free.
I find it extremely interesting to look at what justice means to the marines. It's so important to every one of them yet they have such vastly different ideas of what justice means and entails, and it's interesting to examine how their perceptions of righteousness came to be and how their personal experiences shaped their view of justice.
Fr
Kizaru and Kuma are both men who abandoned their free will by choice. Self imposed slaves. Kuma was turned into a machine in body, Kizaru is a machine in spirit.
don’t care he was always my fav admiral so nice to get more of him…….. 8:50 yesssssssssss
I think that Kizaru will turn to the straw hats side. Akainu seems to be aware of his dogmatic role, so I can see him being that tragic character in the future, especially because we have seen drawings of him as a child, where he clearly has it rough. Great video!
I really hope we get more of Kizaru
I believe Kizaru will express its own will by letting Luffy defeat him out of the dome.
It's not unlike his character to avoid or withdraw from a fight, as seen against Ben Beckmann or Rayleigh (off-screen).
Facing a yonko is a pretty good excuse to be forbidden but this would be by itself an incident
You could say, Akainu and Aokiji represented two sides of the same coin. And Borsalino Kizaru...was the coin itself.
That was genuinely the smoothest sponsor transition I've ever seen in TH-cam.
Man I now that you mention it i didnt realize how much free will plays into this arc
2:02 Shots fired lol
Kizaru , an Admiral, rebelling against the gorosei? This Would definitely be a freaking incident worth writing about in the papers!
i believe luffy will somehow understand how kizaru feels/act and he'll eventually stop fighting him and run away with his friends and vegapunks similar to how luffy was telling about his moves while fighting with fujitora coz he's blind *and maybe kizaru even smirks seeing luffy do this*
Suddenly it feels as if Lucci being in Egghead is meant to draw comparaisons with Kizaru
Would be great if Luffy could get through to Kizaru, and get him to embrace freedom and end up joining the Strawhats. Considering he’s being ordered to kill his oldest friends, I don’t think it’s a stretch for him to at least rebel. But I’d just enjoy seeing him join the Strawhats, unlikely as it is 😅
i mean... a current admiral joining the straw hats could definitely be an event that shakes the world 👀👀👀👀
Love your OP commentary bruv. Great work
I feel like high-ranking Marine leaders have realized they're being used by a bad force connected to the World Government but believe they uphold a standard better than anarchy/pirates.
Kizaru is like the typical japanese salaryman. A slave to the corporations they serve
What if he joins the revolutionaries with vegapunk. Not much merit to the idea i know, but if he decides to stick by vegapunk in the end and they end up joining the revolutionaries. Could be interesting to see the "cog in the machine" be taken out and put in another machine...
Great take, couldn't have put in into words so nicely but I believe the same.
Would be fun if Kizaru finds his own way - altho that might be a huge problem with one like Saturn around... haha ^^;
6:40 your Baltimore accent comes out when you say buried 😂
I think this is the reason Saturn came along - to have a real final antagonist for when Kizaru refuses to go through with it.
This couldnt be more meta right now... Any law enforcement officer in this unstable world is a Kizaru or Akainu. Funny how they are mentioned in the same chapter, like 2 sides of a coin.
Oda knows what reality is and he is trying to convey it to us through One Piece...
Yeah, he sold it for that good stuff🌿
