His bounty is about to get so high after being able to read the poneglyphs 💀
bro's the devil child fr
They are going to have to start handing out whole Kingdoms as bounties rather than petty cash.

I heard the world government is looking for this guy. better to keep him safe
Man his intro is just so beautifully done
its really really good i i want to comment that on every video xD
Oda having a kinemon moment after watching this
I think we shouldn't try to translate it using the English translation. The only way to translate it is using the Japanese version. Also we should consider that the ancient text appears in more places than just alabasta, there is a book written in it in ohara. We also know what some of the poneglyphs are about, mainly the ancient weapons. Maybe there is a possibility to find out which symbol relates to which weapon and place It is hidden.
we know that the alabasta poneglyph and wano poneglyph had something to do with pluton so it may actually be possible to find matches across them
Totally agreed. I like the hyeroglyph intuition but I'd assume that each square of the Poneglyph follows similar rules of the Kanji writing system.
@@Dkarm26yep the most recurring square is likely to b pluton ESPECIALLY if there is two and they always follow each others
I wonder if those two symbols mean “sun” and “savior/sovereign” or maybe “poseidon”, because remember the Sea Kings said two sovereigns would be born soon. It makes sense both those people would be incorporated heavily into their text/culture, much like sun gods were in Egypt as you mentioned. Love this video
Hi
I always wondered why Robin never taught anyone else how to read them. Like if I knew a language no one else did I’d be teaching the whole crew how to read it at least
remember that the crew have been together for like 6 months total, maybe the language is super complex. I mean it took a lot of studying at clover island just to learn it and robin was hella smart
@@Mateo-fo5xdnot to mention Robin has hella trauma related to the last people who could read the poneglyphs. I'm not sure she would even want to risk endangering her friends by teaching them
@@antiope-d9780There's also a theory that To read Poneglyphs, you must inherit the ability.
@@antiope-d9780 they are all already heavily dead wanted expect maybe chopper. So it wouldnt matter if he would taught them
@@borsalino177not at all, in wano multiple people including big mom and kaido’s higher ups are specifically trying to capture robin stating that theyll torture her and maim her so she cant escape and force her to read the phoneglyphs for them before they kill her, she wouldnt wish that fate on anyone, let alone her friends
I feel like the circle might represent the sun seeing as Oda likes to draw different representations of the sun across multiple cultures Wano, skypeia, Alabasta, ect.
It could have actual meaning. Maybe the D. Initial could be the backwards D bracket thing.
WAIT . WHAT IF THERE ARE OTHER SYMBOLS THAT ODA HAS USED IN THE STORY THAT ALSO APPEAR IN THE LANGUAGE?
@@prod.5starr Omg yes he would do that
The D is the sun rising if ya turn it sideways
Or, the sun symbol with the two dots over it could mean dawn? that seems plausible enough if the D symbolises the dawn
I agree, the circle symbol can easily mean both D and the rising sun if you just assume that "D" means "Dawn"
Slight addition to the idea of Poneglyphs being based off hieroglyphs, Oda meant the story to be shorter so Alabasta(the Egypt arc...) definitely had a bunch of symbolism packed in there everywhere. Like for example the panel with Robin and Cobra in the tomb had a bunch of symbolism packed in there that people only really started noticing as of recently, as of the increase in relevancy of Alabasta after Queen Lili and Vivi's recent reintroduction into the story.
The easiest way to create a language is to take one you already know and change the letters/symbols that are used in it.
I think It's entirely possible that the Poneglyphs are in Japanese but changing hiragana, katakana and/or kanji with symbols created by Oda
Yeah . I think it has to have Japanese sentence structure . I think it is probably translatable but I don’t think anyone who doesn’t know Japanese will figure it out .
Hopefully Yuderon puts some time into this
The whole quadrat thing sounds like Hangul
That’s not a new language, that’s just a new writing system
Wouldn't make it a new language, although no character pronouncing any of the words could be a hint it's just a writing system
@One that’s not even close to being correct. If that were the case cursive and print would be different languages.
Orthography =/= language.
Edit: also that’s not how you use “no shit Sherlock”
Man it’s been fun watching Hidden, too bad he never existed and the Hidden Island an open stretch of ocean
You literally won me over by having the fastest reader in the world in your video. Amazing! 😂
yo the Rodgers name part and the sun icon being presumably close to where the D should be blew my mind great video!!!
At 15:29, I recognize that symbol on the left side of Nico Robins face as an older version of a chinese symbol. It’s the one with the two U’s and a line in it. Originally, it was an upside down person in the ancient writings, but the newer version of it. The word is nì which means to go against. In the video “Chinese Characters Explained 2: Ones that represent meanings” by the TH-cam channel “Fluent in Mandarin”, you can see a visual representation of it 3:34 into the video.
The gold roger text would be our sample base because we can tie either english or kanji to the words we know oden annd robin read saying I will guide these texts to the ends of earth
Ive been rewatching the series now that my mom is into OP. She just met Boa and is getting introduced to haki. The scene where Luffy uses Conquerors to stop the gorgon sister from smashing the stone girls is immediately superimposed over the SUN. Way back around ep. 400 or so Oda made sure to depict the sun imagery for Luffy
Another wonderful video! Thanks for putting this out, glad to have another real world connection to One Piece, makes me re-evaluate the manga as a whole every single time you, parvision, or anyone really, drops something like this. Much love ❤
I hope you are safe from CP0, and most of all, great video! I love this kind of content and I feel like there is too little videos like this on the series
Once again I’m in amazement with one piece so much lore packed into one story. Hidden island big up yourself bro going thru all that research of ancient language just for a maybe the poneglyph writing isn’t gibberish lol 👏🏾👏🏾
Jokes in this video were not only good but your delivery was great. The Cthulhu line got me pretty good lol
Ive never seen anyone else I watch dive into this particular topic like that, well done!
This is the type of analysis/theory crafting I subscribe for. Thumbs up 👌
the sun symbol is similar (depending a lot on which one you use) to the alchemical symbol for gold, also represents the sun. If it helps for something, maybe there is some alchemical symbology as well in there.
this was a fun and entertaining video, good job man.
These theories are so thorough and well thought out I love these videos
I enjoy ur videos so much bro, keep it up
another banger coming through
I've been binging these videos and this is the one that solidifed THI as a real one piece archaeologist, and exactly what role I would want to be in that world (just dont tell anyone.)
Finally a video i have to put on watch later, cause im down this very same rabbit hole. And want to get my own conclusions first.
All because i refuse to ignore the alabasta random poneglyph. 🤣
Im back today. And i havent figured out anything major yet. But im in the direction that theres many dated events. As the sun symbol and its iterations could be just that measures of time. Cycles around the sun. Maybe representing seasons. I believe the whole meaning of the word D is written there. When oden wrote rogers name, not just "d." .
I can definitely see Oda having key symbols or imagery mean something consistent all throughout the poneglyphs for sure. It's more like a hidden code or phrase among the poneglyphs that we may be able to decipher. Its kinda like taking 2 similar languages like , say Arabic and Urdu as an example and comparing them since they are so similar. The combination thing of symbols is similar to kanji or even some letters in arabic due to the amount of variation that can be given to them....
Good video!
Bro I just finished The Reverie! You killed it! The Mosses Mosses fruit and the Tontata haki had me dying 😭💀
Yessir 🔥 glad to finally see this
Nice catch man. Great Video hidden!!! Thx
late to it but another great video! crazy to have even some insight now on what the symbols might mean. looking forward to next one
Interesting to note that “Gold” is often times associated with the Sun and “Silver” with the moon. So it would make sense if it is a language as to why Gol D Rogers signature would include the symbol of the Sun.
Awesome vid man!
I just subscribed, great video brotha!
before you even mentioned it, seeing the sun disc right around where the "D" in Gol D. Roger should be was a real, "Oh Shit" moment. great vid as always!
well that what actually a wonderful watch, it's been a while since i've seen a one piece theory video developing an idea on logical reasoning and not solely relying on imagination, controversy and click-bait
Thanks a lot for those 25 minutes !! I hope you'll keep on posting interesting content like that :)
I don't think I've ever seen or heard of a video that goes anywhere near as deeply as this one does on this subject. It was very interesting, as most of your OP theory/analysis videos are! Good luck with your Japanese lessons 😅
Loved the video. Made me really think!
quality of videos keep getting better, nice
I would like to add a couple of things
1: We might be able to figure out which direction to read the ponegliphs(columns or rows) based on weather it's a Lode Ponegliph or not. The ones in Alabasta are probably meant to be read from the top left, down, then the next column on the right. The Lode Ponegliphs(other than maybe the one roger wrote on) are likely meant to be read like normal sentences.
2: You said it would make sense if that symbol for the sun was written somewhere around the D. I think it's possible that the whole symbol is the "Gol", considering we could also interpret his name as having connections to the sun.
If it is the D part of the name, then the two horizontal dots could represent a "period", while the single one might be a comma. The symbol for the D clan would then be the circle with the horizontal line below it, and the two dots on top of it. Yet again...I agree that the most likely direct translation would be to Japanese, which I have no knowledge about.
you’re the one piece youtuber with the most established personality and style that i’ve ever seen, and it works so well in your favor
Little thing I noticed that is consistent with this analysis: the "sun symbol" is identical to how luffy's gear 5 pupil/irises in his eyes are drawn
Bro this video is legendary. You are a true fan of one piece
Good work regarding all the research done to build this idea. I like your concept nice video 🥳🥳🙏💪
I think it should be posible to use and combine some artificial intelligence s load all poneglyph images and ask the AI to group them
You killed this video thanks
Look the writers known as James S.A. Corey came up with the base idea for a future language in The Expanse and when the show was being produced they got an actual conlanger to complete and smoothen out Lang Belta even kept a couple words that wouldn't have worked out. If Oda didn't pull a Tolkien, hopefully someone can help make it "real".
I've always wondered when someone would try to learn the ancient language. I just thought they would run it through some pattern recognition code. This is cool
I would think Oda created a fully functional language because if scholars had to pass down a way to decipher it, and only select people with that knowledge can read it… it can’t just be random gibberish or the whole concept of language and translation falls apart. It at least has to have a code or key letters like a cryptogram.
this is probably the first vid i've seen from your channel but bro that intro was sick
I wonder if one day we will actually get info in the manga on how to read the Poneglyphs. It will be crazy to go back through the arcs and see what they said this entire time.
Another great video, this dude just doesn’t miss.
I love how well you sneak in good jokes into your theory videos. When are we getting another Break Week!?
?
Thanks bro! Will make an announcement regarding break week in the next weekly stream. Short version of it is that the next BW stream is up in the air for various reasons, but I wanna find a way to make a similar format work in its place.
i commend the effort keep doing your thing
From comic book to linguistics. I love it
The sun makes sense but the common ones like the snake thing it could be vague like life or animal because poneglyphs are huge and would need alot of characters
I would do unspeakable things for an hour long version of the intro
I didn't expect to learn that the D. initial stands for "day" or "dawn" in this video. Sweet research!
6:15 cthulu's birth certificate 😂😂
That was a nice one
Great vid homie and awesome catch with Stussy literally drinking giraffe 🤯
Love red string one piece theories XD
sold me at the Sun(god) comparison with the D. clan based off Rodgers text.
Good video!
Well-done broski!
Appreciate you bro! Gotta peep your new theory now that I'm done staring at moonrunes lol
Olivier Levasseur, aka La Buse, Roger's inspiration, also wrote a cryptogram meant to tell the location of his treasure. It looks quite a lot like poneglyphs and was never succesfully deciphered.
The final draft of the Tokyo Revengers ending😂🤣🤣🤣
Up there with G(A).O.T and the nonexistent ones for Teen Titans, Spectacular Spider-Man, and Dragon Ball Z!
i had to see the first half of the video 2 times because of this smooth jazz gettingme off track
🤔 Indeed....
Gotta admit, this seems legit, well done 😊👍 for this, you have gained my subscribble, and a thumbs up. Cheers mate ❤️💯
Honestly, I thought I was the only person who wanted to understand the poneglyphs. Bruh you intro is lit...
very well done, congratulations.
Amazing video bro, but one thing i notice. The place were he signs his name is the first row not the last... is the part when robin reads scared the name... and both from the close en from de the distance shot..you can see are the 3 symbols from the first raw, left part
Ok why is this channel so underrated
I think the poneglyph that Zoro and chopper found in alabasta is the one that robin is looking for.
That's an episode filler, Is no Canon.
One of the influences for poneglyph's visual design is Ghibli's movie Castle in the sky, story about Laputa which is from Gullivere's travels. A flying isle that used to rule other kindoms. I wonder if this is going to have any role in One Piece story.
Right the title is enough for me, buster call incoming
Bro's about to get his house buster called by the world government 😭
We're going straight to Lulusia at this point.
Great video!
" Why haven't you subscribed yet ? " LOL I laughed so hard that my nose fell on the subscribe button. I guess I'll be following you then !
Bro went through every detail every reason why it’s possible only to say no in the end
Theorizing should have hit the record with this manga/anime series compared to any other. For this am indebted to Oda san. Mystery with action and adventure - who makes plots like this these days ? Truly there seems to be no hope of any other anime/manga rivaling one piece.
Y'know, incidentally, the circle with the dot in it is also the alchemic symbol for the sun, as well as the element gold. Sun god Nika and Gol D. "Gold" Roger, perhaps? Maybe the Straw Hat lineage was foreseen by the writers of the poneglyphs? Plus Roger is the only person we've ever seen leave his own message in poneglyph writing (I think)
The poneglyph writing looks exactly like Mayan heiroglyphs, they both have squares with a few symbols meaning a phrase or sentence. The Mayans also have a rain god named Itzamna that was known as "god D" prior to being deciphered so maybe oda speaks Mayan heiroglyph
That begining with the record guy just killed me
Noti gang. Also, more Dandadan would be cool; yes I remember
still think the foreshadowing when luffy eats the fruit is crazy, as soon as he scars his eye and proves himself brave the fruit calls out to him and he becomes happier, not a "wow i'm so happy, "I have become" like the happieness was bestowed
I wouldn't be surprised if the Rio poneglyphs could be read left to right, right to left, or up and down. Rayleigh did say that the Straw hats could come to a different conclusion to the true history. Is that why Roger and the crew laughed? Did Oden read it one way not realizing that it can be read another?
so much just engaging content
GoL D ROGeR. The letters are there, quite similar if the letters were written upside down and read from right to left, but letter being caps means it starts and ends the vocalization.
Could be just simplification of the language for some letters to show the name as snake seems to be something like soldier/deity and sun in egyptian with some more abstract meanings... but there's alphabet. :o| is definitely D. if its there and i is o. R in Roger seems to flip like mirror as other starts and other ends vocalization.
This is the best video theory I’ve seen in the last year! Everything in one pice ends up having a tail or a reason and many time this language has been used , i think is only about time that we gonna hear this language spoken! I’m surprised in wano is not happened ! Is possible to write it or read it why no one ever talked it?
very good job
Someone should send a letter to shueisha asking for an SBS question about wether Oda made them readable or not
The translated "D" from Gol D Roger, seems to imply D is short for Dawn. As the sun symbol is above a horizon line, but below what could be stars.
Now if we look at Hindu mythology we pull Hanuman (Luffy inspiration) and the enemies of the Gods, the Asura. The sun symbol below a horizon line with the two dots can represent the Asura, The twilight hours, or even the evening.
I think it would be awesome if someone does figure out how to completely decipher the poneglyphs. But I don't have the time or mental capacity for it to be me
Is pandaman not correlating to the weird panda guy thats like everywhere as a background character throughout one piece who is either seen as different members of different crews or just randomly looks at the camera when no one thinks its watching like the snail waving in adventure time?
At 22:45, if those poneglyphs actually mean "Pirate Gol D Roger" it is also fair to assume that, besides the word "pirate", each symbol actually translates to a sound, rather than meanings, since you won't translate proper names. And if this is true we also might guess that the first poneglyph means "pirate", the I and reverse D the sound "gol", the O the sound "d" and the rest should sound "roger"
I love your videos, greetings from Germany
The poneglyph writing reminds me of the Korean Hangul writing system to a degree.
The navy is about to send a buster call to his house
i hope that oda gives us the translation of the ancient language after one piece finally ends so we can decipher the poneglyphs too
You got me hooked up from XI reverie
the D. in the roger line seems so me like dawn.
the sun, a straight line representing the horizon below it and the points may be a point just like in Gol D. Roger.
forgot to mention the most direct parallel to these gliphs, ancient mesoamerican writing, from which the eldorado reference and the shandian "tribe" comes from
