The only thing that'd make this video better is if the dates/chapter numbers/years between would be stuck on the screen as long as they are relevant to one another. I find it hard to memorise every "number" you say, and it would make it way easier to see this connection. I feel they would hit harder. Thanks for the upload.
Similar to East Blue, I think that’s why Wano Act 3’s ending was such a letdown with a ton of setups that weren’t paid off because he rushed to the end to hit 100 chapters

You def can tell Oda was influence by "something" during wano arc. hence the mix review by fans. my guess is the pressure to promote Film Red and having to oversee Netflix live action. You can tell even with the manga panel inconsistent dialog bubble cramp into a single page 😵💫
Since Wano ended I've thought that the Elbaf arc would have to be a four way conflict between Cross Guild, The Red Haired Pirates, The Blackbeard Pirates and The Straw Hat Pirates. It made sense to me as Elbaf is important and couldn't possibly be short but it still lacked a major conflict which this idea would fill, as well as the fact that it's also called Warland it'd just make sense to tie up heaps of loose threads there all at once.
I think its amazing that Oda can make such an amazing series, and then on top of that somehow manages to sprinkle in all of these easter eggs, without compromising the quality of the story at all
Absolutely incredible. It just fits so well with the parallels and pacing of the story, even if some may be coincidence there is clearly a conscious effort to keep chronological significance constant
The 1114 chapter was Super Close, we are starting a small starting section of the void centenary! I love some of the predictions but a lot of them are in the middle of Kuma's flashback maybe some reveals might land on birthdays/ dates.
It would be really poetic if Luffy prevented BlackBeard from meeting/capturing/killing Crocodile. He did it in Arabasta, also in Impel Down ... maybe BlackBeard keeps this a secret even from his own crew. There are many theories that Croc has relations to Xebec, he already was hunting for the ancient weapons. It may be that BlackBeard and Croc were students or children of Xebec. Maybe WhiteBeard did not allow Croc on board because he was originally a girl, would explain the grudge from Croc ... and even why Sanji never met him. Oh and one huge hint about BlackBeard hunting Wapol was BlackBeard saying "I will devour everything.", he probably wanted the fruit.
The point about Smoker and Saul's anniversary blew my mind because it would also parallel a marine leaving the navy and potentially joining the revolutionary group. Crazy how cleanly this seems to fir
fun fact, gear 5 has been foreshadowed in every chapter ending in 44, luffys laugh is shi shi which is 44 in japanese, 1044 is the g5 nika reveal, chapter 44 is when patty slams gin through a table with a giant fist, gin has a blue dragon on the back of his shirt, 744 is when sabo eats the mera mera the power of the sun and the same chapter usopp is dubbed god usopp, 844 is when sanji fights luffy in whole and one of the panels make it look like luffy has a head of fire. and on top of all of this the first time the first time we see the yami yami, blackbeards fruit is chapter 440 the opposite of luffys XX44 number scheme
I agree that Oda uses dates to plan who gets screen time when, but the dates still seem too arbitrary to predict things. Sometimes it’s ten years, or it’s eleven years, or sixteen years, etc. it also doesn’t help predict what will happen, only that we should expect one of the dozen characters who appeared that week in a previous year. At best you can make educated guesses every “anniversary.” It’s neat but semi-useful. Still more user a predictor than Oda’s powerscaling is 😂.
Just to add a lil bit. The battle of Kips bay in 1776 during the american revolution had 30,000 men in the harbor, guns pointed at new YORK. The result of the battle was the revolutionaries essentially pulled out of NY. Not a lot to go off of, but interesting number of marines 🤔
Randy I think you were on point in the Vivi and Smoker theories!!!! What would be an amazing scene for us involving Smoker and Vivi is Smoker refusing to follow orders from Saturn to capture Vivi because He knows that Vivi would be better off with the Strawhats than with him and Smoker calling out not only his Superiors but also the Goroseis orders to kill Dr Vegnapunk!! Smoker might get a Red Dead Redemption 2 kind of scenario where like Arthur Morgan where Smoker is really questioning the motives of the WG and Marines, especially with him questioning why Dr Vegnapunk had to die and looking for the truth of King Cobras death especially if Vivi tells him what the world doesn’t know
I think this is your best video to date! I knew about the chapter anniversaries and even a little bit about the birthdays, but never knew about lining up the issues (which covers a lot of the breaks that throw off some of these number theories). Love the subtitles too, hope you keep doing them for these longer theory videos. Theory time: Personally I've never thought Vegapunk makes it out of this arc alive, I think he knows too much. So my guess would be that the first issue of next year (lining up with Chapter 395 where Clover talks about the Ancient Kingdom) is when Vegapunk finishes the sentence that Clover started and actually tells us the name of the Ancient Kingdom. Then he gets taken out by Saturn, which is who Clover was having the conversation with on the Den Den Mushi and gave the official word that Ohara had learned too much and needed to be taken out. All of this lines up if Dragon shows up in 1100, if Smoker shows up right before, and if Vivi and Morgans are pulling up with the Uber in 1103. Vegapunk dying also gives a way for the Straw Hats to "lose" this arc like Sabaody without getting beaten up as badly, which has been my guess of how this all ends.
I do like the idea of some sort of loss. VP being that is certainly devastating, but something tells me he dies elsewhere. Or is hurt badly and dies from his injuries in Elbaf or on the way there. But either way, I'm ready for that Uber to pull up!
I really wish we got Daddy Masterson in the manga. An old west gunslinger would be very cool. Izo is cool too, but he came so much later, and Benn Beckman is still a mystery.
Wano's editor needed your video notes. "Love that subplot, but you just added 2 subplots last chapter and got 1640 pages left max to tie everything up. "Where am I getting that number from? You're gonna tell me with a straight face there's gonna be a 101st chapter of act 3?"
Randy this goes way deeper than you might think, let me blow your mind, The same week that the queen of England Elizabeth II died which made big news in the world, it was September 8, 2022 its date numerology being " 9+8+20+22 = 59 " One Piece chapter "1059" came out 4 days later and in that very chapter in the last page you had a Panel with three of the last Empresses of Amazon Lily all together in one panel for the first time showcasing different generations of queens next to the Dark King right hand man of the Pirate King. The chapter has 17 pages which has a direct connection with the number 59 because 59 is the 17th prime number which is why the Chapter is named after Koby because his name in gematria sums to 17. Oda is a heavy practitioner of Gematria and symbolism, another easy argument for this is Luffy's connection with the number 56 which you see throughout the story but its not a Japanese pun the real reason is that "Pirate King" equals 56 in English gematria.
That was a such good video, Randy, thank you!! It was also a great reminder that every coming chapter is going to be a banger. Also, I am sorry you are unable to talk about OPLA atm. As a writer/director myself, I understand very deeply how important the strike is - I stand in solidarity, albeit from afar. Looking forward to discussing the show with you once the evil corporation takedown is dealt with
Wow my mind is just blown now. GODA!! And if half of these predictions come true Randy is the One Piece Prophecy teller, he'll be like the Oracle from the Matrix but for OP. Lol.
I still think the granddaddy of all one piece theories involving numbers is the 1-10 devil fruit theory and the idea that there will be 13 straw hats because Sunny's name mean 13 or something, I dont remember the exact details. I also love the use of puns in the bounty posters, though they get lost in translations.
As someone that shares a birthday with Dragon and Marco, October 5th, this vid makes me look forward to possibly seeing them next month. You already talked a good bit about the revolutionaries, but maybe it’s time we get an update on what Marco has been doing with Buckin and Weevil. 🤔
One thing that I really enjoy about this video is we won't have to wait long to see how the theory plays out. Often times theories are vague and wouldn't be proven true or false till the end of the story. But this theory is so interesting that it could be proven at least partially true very soon and will impact how we look at the larger story till it's end. Good shit
I'm currently at the 10 minute mark rn and I'm losing my shit this video is amazing. I've had this uncanny feeling like everything in the manga in the last 6 months has just been deja vu but now I'm fully confident that oda had kid and law lose like that so in chapter 1091-1092 luffy is MANHANDLING Kizaru
@RandyTroy REALLY! bro, oda knows too much about the world. It's so odd, like Vegapunk is clearly inspired by Albert Einstein, BUT his Will and demeanor are exactly that of Nikola Tesla's. He even has the same exact dream as Nikola Tesla and the same reasoning for the dream, plus everything about his life relates exactly to Tesla's life, a lot of his research came from futuristic technology that is hidden from the public and is from the PAST. He even received funding from the elites that are above the United States government for his research because what good is a genius if they can not thrive. Tesla's morals never aligned with his sponsors, only for them to KILL HIM and take all of his research for their own. The list of parallels continues for a while, but I doubt anyone is reading this comment anymore😅 Vegapunk=Nikola Tesla
The insane thing about your black beard theory on taking out Wapol in order to get to crocodile is how that would parallel luffy taking out Doflamingo to get to Kaidou. Wild!
Blackbeard targeting Crocodile will also play into the theory that Crocodile is the offspring of Rocks, as Crocoboy has a lot of parallels with Ace, Roger's kid.
This was great, when you do those birthday piece videos you should go over predictions you made here and whether or not they were right or not (or if any math piece moments you noticed in hindsight). Would be fun to keep up with!
This further confirms my belief that 1103 is the chapter where Vivi rejoins officially (although i wouldn't mind if the reunion happened earlier than that)
Chapter 1101 will be exactly 1100 chapters from when Lord of the coast ate Higuma, so we could see him show up in chapter 1100 with Higuma still alive in his belly 😂
just thinking about the amount of work you put into this video, recognizing all those parrallels and mirrors and so on, just wow! if you had to estimate, how many hours of prep did this take you? also, that is the 1 type of theory crafting that works for me. probably hinges on how you phrase a lot of it...
This video consumed an entire two weeks of my life for sure. I barely saw my wife and son other than to eat because I was just constantly having brain blasts and making connections and adding more to it or, in some cases, debunking myself and finding a better answer to something
@@RandyTroy amazing, well, not necessarily for your fam, but still, for the community. Hope you guys can enjoy some time together now before the next project ;)
I knew Oda loved numbers, but this video really puts it into perspective of how much Oda must think about this stuff. The chances of even a handful of these being pure coincidences seems less likely than me winning the lottery and getting struck by lightning twice at the same time.
My favorite math related theory was the one surrounding ch1043. How it can be read in Japanese as 'jyuu shi san' which confirmed Luffy was 'jushi san', a resin-man instead of a rubber-man. Good times
Oda is in synch piece now. 1000 on and everything is culminating, and this man is doing a numerological victory lap to constellate world events One aspect that gets mentioned sometimes is the chapter numbers in Japanese, their kanji, correlaiting to the chapter contents beyond their numerical meanings
I believe this to be true. Oda knows the ending to his story hence, he has a laid out schedule he is sticking to no matter what. And he loves those parallels and numbers. The issue line up is too clean too, he definitely have some ocd going on in there😂
It hurts my brain imaging how much thought has gone into one simple silly pirate adventure. One piece really is one of the greatest pieces of literature and art ever created.
in chapter 155 we found out how baroque work agents were ranked (the page that vivi explained thar the boss of the organisation is mr.0 and after that mr.1 and ...)so maybe about 1000 chapters later we see Caribou making contact with Crocodile and telling him about Pluton in Wano
Something I don't see brought up too often is Buggy bluffing that he's letting luffy "fatten up" his reputation before finally getting his revenge back around jaya when ace shows up. Would be funny if crossguild were to actually defeat the SHs in some way maybe thru a DB fight. This will give buggy the road pongliphs, bringing him closer to the one piece
in a way, after wano, and during egg head, I was a bit confused about how Oda would randomly jump to one scene to another that is on random, like at time we don't even know what to expect to come out of the chapters cause it could be during egg head or outside of egg head events. this video is starting to make sense why time was timed this way, with their anniversary and birthdays.
i'm still trying to figure out the 100 representations, I mean he uses the 100 too many times, like 100 bounty hunters at whiskey peak, 100 crew members at norland's ship, 100 years a man didn't got into amazon lilly, and severel other times, even on ace's novel he used 100 duels between ace and whitebeard, so that ace became whitebeard son, 100 pirates that law stoled their hearts, and so on, it's so many times, but since is just a number information i dunno if ppl realizes it, I hope I find some kind of answer in this video
Blackbeard beefing with Crocodile behind the scenes would be MAJOR if Daks’s theory is true - about Crocodile being the child of Rocks D Xebec. The captain of the saber of Xebec, posted up on Xebec’s former territory, targeting Xebec’s child.
Here's a math I kinda came up with (not really math, more of Goroawase.) It was noted before that Luffy's ability is Gomu-Gomu no Mi...5 and 6 in Goroawase...so the SBS commenter came up with the Goroawase thing for all devil fruit users of the crew, which if you add up is 325 = Sa Ni Go (Sunny Go)...the missing numbers are 2 and 9 in which people theorized for a long time is "Niku Niku no Mi or Nikyu Nikyu no Mi (Paw Paw Fruit) and led to theories that one of the Strawhats will eat Kuma's ability or Kuma himself will join the crew. BUT Not only is Kuma clearly not gonna join and none of the Strawhats seem to be getting a Devil Fruit anytime soon, I discarded that theory.... and since Luffy's ability had been renamed, its not Gomu Gomu really, but "Nika", so I played with this and this is what I got: Chopper got the Hi To (Hito Hito no Mi) = 1, 10 Robin got the Ha Na (Hana Hana no Mi) = 8, 7 Brook got the Yo Mi (Yomi Yomi no Mi) = 4, 3 and Luffy got the Ni Ka (Model Nika) = 2, 5 The only remaining numbers after this are: 6 and 9 = 6 is Roku, Ro, Mu, or Mo and 9 is Kyuu, or Ku. I played with this and I got = Moku. Moku Moku no Mi = SMOKER'S ABILITY. Now, there's a problem to this: if you add up these combinations this time, it results to 334 = which would be nothing but gibberish now...instead of SaNiGo. BUT That's when until you notice that, Number 0 (Zero) is counted in Goroawase and 1 in Goroawase is already a standalone for HITO = Chopper's Devil Fruit. So now you got, 1 = Hito Hito no Mi 8, 7 = Hana Hana no Mi 4, 3 = Yomi Yomi No Mi 6, 9 = Moku Moku no Mi 2, 5 = Nika So now, you're left with 0 and 10. I played with all the combinations possible for this, that also results in SaNiGo (325)...and there is someone in the story right now, that is WITH THE STRAWHATS, that somehow got an unnamed ability, that perfectly fits into the goroawase. 10 and 0: JUREI JUREI NO MI = AGE AGE FRUIT. So my prediction for the final members of the Strawhat Pirates: JEWELREY BONNEY AND VICE ADMIRAL SMOKER
the thing is i think what oda was going for is that luffys power is the power to turn the world on its head/upside down so the gomu gomu 56 being the nika would turn the 56 to 29
Great video! Sorry about the strike continuing... I'm sure it's got to be a big let down not being able to make content on the live action. Hopefully we'll get to hear all your thoughts on it soon!!
There's also the "goroawase" to complement Oda and his numbers but you truly need to be a MASTER at Japanese and I'm still lacking at that. This is incredible though and in my head it's as good as confirmed until proven otherwise
Damn, props to you for the whole video in general. Saying so many dates and numbers has got to be a pain in the ass even if you're reading them off a prompt behind the camera. Great job as always, hope you're right about 1103 being a Vivi chapter.
I like how the BB Croc connection would reinforce the idea of Luffy and BB as different sides of the same coin. They essentially want the same results but for very different reasons and go about getting there differently.
The last point about wapol funding project utopia what if it's also revealed that he is now funding cross guild because we know the money they have isn't from buggy or mihawk so it must be from crocodile because wapol is a king and successful businessman because of wapolmetal.
Mad props @RandyTroy for the research and for putting the jigsaw puzzle together. Now it makes too much sense for me to think anything else is possible hahaha
I like the idea that Robin and Luffy are siblings, and i think she figured it out at some point. She resembles Dragon, and i'm wondering if her mom is Garp's daughter.... Has Robin ever met Garp?
@@RandyTroy it makes alot of sense right? I always found it worth noting how much warmth she has for Luffy, especially considering how "cool" she is otherwise. It's really like an older sister being bemusedly exasperated by her cute little brother's shenanigans.
September 1st 2008, chapter 512, we see Kizaru clash with Rayleigh. September 4th 2023, chapter 1091, he clashes with Luffy. Maybe this time the inverse will happen and Kizaru goes down.
I actually liked the Robin possibly being Luffys half-sister theory, thought it kinda made sense regarding what you mentioned about Dragon. I was surprised that Skypiea was not mentioned in the video, was there any correlation for our first hinting at Nika and the reveal of luffys fruit in the numbers? Additionally, Skypiea/Jaya was in hindsight such an important arc in terms of lore and world building that i assumed you would have some future predictions coinciding with it. Do you have any? Thanks for a great video!
Imagine if Robin broadcasts to the world the name of the ancient kingdom and Saturn is trying to kill her before he does but instead demon form Robin takes out saturn instead! The demon Saturn created comes back to take his head! If this all coincides with the reveal (that is head cannon for me) that Robin is luffy’s half sister and Luffy finally has a conversation with his dad and smoker saves them both instead of dragon saving Luffy from smoker that would be awesome. I think this method of using birthdays and anniversaries is odas way of keeping such a comped story unpredictable and also reminding him to continue to use key players, he challenges himself to fit them all into the story using these milestones so that he does not lose track of their roles and development? Or is the one piece itself deeply tied to numerology and fate prediction!!!!
@@RandyTroy also… it actually creates a lot of surprise and brings people back into memory that have not been central to the story. We think we should be going with one storyline but suddenly seeming out of the blue it’s a shanks chapter or vivi appears again and it’s a surprise to most who do not have math piece tinfoil hats on but that way he keeps interjecting all of the storylines and world events from time to time. Then he challenges himself to make it fit into the story. Sometime for better sometimes for worse like the end of Wano

One thing that I really enjoy about this video is we won't have to wait long to see how the theory plays out. Often times theories are vague and wouldn't be proven true or false till the end of the story. But this theory is so interesting that it could be proven at least partially true very soon and will impact how we look at the larger story till it's end. Good shit
U got a subscriber in 1 minute with the intro lol
This is literally the pepe silvia meme and I'm all for it
I'm currently at the 10 minute mark rn and I'm losing my shit this video is amazing. I've had this uncanny feeling like everything in the manga in the last 6 months has just been deja vu but now I'm fully confident that oda had kid and law lose like that so in chapter 1091-1092 luffy is MANHANDLING Kizaru
Fun fact, 1091 and 1092 will be the anniversary of Kizaru vs Straw Hats at Sabaody, so it's VERY likely
@RandyTroy REALLY! bro, oda knows too much about the world. It's so odd, like Vegapunk is clearly inspired by Albert Einstein, BUT his Will and demeanor are exactly that of Nikola Tesla's. He even has the same exact dream as Nikola Tesla and the same reasoning for the dream, plus everything about his life relates exactly to Tesla's life, a lot of his research came from futuristic technology that is hidden from the public and is from the PAST. He even received funding from the elites that are above the United States government for his research because what good is a genius if they can not thrive. Tesla's morals never aligned with his sponsors, only for them to KILL HIM and take all of his research for their own. The list of parallels continues for a while, but I doubt anyone is reading this comment anymore😅
Vegapunk=Nikola Tesla
Idk if you were the first one to think of this or not but this is an amazing find, got here from the morj collab gideo
Randy: Oda likes doing stuff with important number
Oda: What do you mean i have to change my plans to make Chapter 1000 special?
My pants weren’t ready for a half hour randy troy video
People have been onto Oda and his numbers for a long time. That being said however, you bring up some interesting points and might be onto something.
As a math guy. Intro hooked me … I am so ready
“Nefetari D. Vivi sounds soooo nice
The insane thing about your black beard theory on taking out Wapol in order to get to crocodile is how that would parallel luffy taking out Doflamingo to get to Kaidou. Wild!
Randy, your apophenia would make Bruce Wayne nod his head in approval. Bravo for such a fascinating analysis.
Definitely put my world's greatest detective cowl on for this one, Mike!
Blackbeard targeting Crocodile will also play into the theory that Crocodile is the offspring of Rocks, as Crocoboy has a lot of parallels with Ace, Roger's kid.
I failed geometry but I’m pretty alright at algebra, let’s go
This video was on a whole nother level of quality, absolutely great stuff
This was great, when you do those birthday piece videos you should go over predictions you made here and whether or not they were right or not (or if any math piece moments you noticed in hindsight). Would be fun to keep up with!
Excellent as always!! So much hidden in plain sight…this is why I love this story 🫶
This further confirms my belief that 1103 is the chapter where Vivi rejoins officially (although i wouldn't mind if the reunion happened earlier than that)
been my belief for a long time, good to see others with the same thinking!
Wonderful content as always. Can't wait for next chapter review!
Chapter 1101 will be exactly 1100 chapters from when Lord of the coast ate Higuma, so we could see him show up in chapter 1100 with Higuma still alive in his belly 😂
just thinking about the amount of work you put into this video, recognizing all those parrallels and mirrors and so on, just wow! if you had to estimate, how many hours of prep did this take you?
also, that is the 1 type of theory crafting that works for me. probably hinges on how you phrase a lot of it...
This video consumed an entire two weeks of my life for sure. I barely saw my wife and son other than to eat because I was just constantly having brain blasts and making connections and adding more to it or, in some cases, debunking myself and finding a better answer to something
@@RandyTroy amazing, well, not necessarily for your fam, but still, for the community.
Hope you guys can enjoy some time together now before the next project ;)
I knew Oda loved numbers, but this video really puts it into perspective of how much Oda must think about this stuff. The chances of even a handful of these being pure coincidences seems less likely than me winning the lottery and getting struck by lightning twice at the same time.
Luffy and Robin being siblings actually makes way too much sense as she is the only one that it on Luffy’s wavelength
My favorite math related theory was the one surrounding ch1043. How it can be read in Japanese as 'jyuu shi san' which confirmed Luffy was 'jushi san', a resin-man instead of a rubber-man. Good times
I never even thought about robin being Luffy’s sister but I’m onboard for that
Oda is in synch piece now. 1000 on and everything is culminating, and this man is doing a numerological victory lap to constellate world events
One aspect that gets mentioned sometimes is the chapter numbers in Japanese, their kanji, correlaiting to the chapter contents beyond their numerical meanings
And the bounty’s too
I believe this to be true. Oda knows the ending to his story hence, he has a laid out schedule he is sticking to no matter what. And he loves those parallels and numbers. The issue line up is too clean too, he definitely have some ocd going on in there😂
It hurts my brain imaging how much thought has gone into one simple silly pirate adventure. One piece really is one of the greatest pieces of literature and art ever created.
in chapter 155 we found out how baroque work agents were ranked (the page that vivi explained thar the boss of the organisation is mr.0 and after that mr.1 and ...)so maybe about 1000 chapters later we see Caribou making contact with Crocodile and telling him about Pluton in Wano
Something I don't see brought up too often is Buggy bluffing that he's letting luffy "fatten up" his reputation before finally getting his revenge back around jaya when ace shows up. Would be funny if crossguild were to actually defeat the SHs in some way maybe thru a DB fight. This will give buggy the road pongliphs, bringing him closer to the one piece
in a way, after wano, and during egg head, I was a bit confused about how Oda would randomly jump to one scene to another that is on random, like at time we don't even know what to expect to come out of the chapters cause it could be during egg head or outside of egg head events. this video is starting to make sense why time was timed this way, with their anniversary and birthdays.
i'm still trying to figure out the 100 representations, I mean he uses the 100 too many times, like 100 bounty hunters at whiskey peak, 100 crew members at norland's ship, 100 years a man didn't got into amazon lilly, and severel other times, even on ace's novel he used 100 duels between ace and whitebeard, so that ace became whitebeard son, 100 pirates that law stoled their hearts, and so on, it's so many times, but since is just a number information i dunno if ppl realizes it, I hope I find some kind of answer in this video
I wouldn’t be surprised if J Cole put this on his next album. Bro was spitting
Blackbeard beefing with Crocodile behind the scenes would be MAJOR if Daks’s theory is true - about Crocodile being the child of Rocks D Xebec. The captain of the saber of Xebec, posted up on Xebec’s former territory, targeting Xebec’s child.
Randy thanks for all the research
Here's a math I kinda came up with (not really math, more of Goroawase.)
It was noted before that Luffy's ability is Gomu-Gomu no Mi...5 and 6 in Goroawase...so the SBS commenter came up with the Goroawase thing for all devil fruit users of the crew, which if you add up is 325 = Sa Ni Go (Sunny Go)...the missing numbers are 2 and 9 in which people theorized for a long time is "Niku Niku no Mi or Nikyu Nikyu no Mi (Paw Paw Fruit) and led to theories that one of the Strawhats will eat Kuma's ability or Kuma himself will join the crew.
BUT
Not only is Kuma clearly not gonna join and none of the Strawhats seem to be getting a Devil Fruit anytime soon, I discarded that theory....
and since Luffy's ability had been renamed, its not Gomu Gomu really, but "Nika", so I played with this and this is what I got:
Chopper got the Hi To (Hito Hito no Mi) = 1, 10
Robin got the Ha Na (Hana Hana no Mi) = 8, 7
Brook got the Yo Mi (Yomi Yomi no Mi) = 4, 3
and
Luffy got the Ni Ka (Model Nika) = 2, 5
The only remaining numbers after this are: 6 and 9 = 6 is Roku, Ro, Mu, or Mo and 9 is Kyuu, or Ku.
I played with this and I got = Moku.
Moku Moku no Mi = SMOKER'S ABILITY.
Now, there's a problem to this: if you add up these combinations this time, it results to 334 = which would be nothing but gibberish now...instead of SaNiGo.
BUT
That's when until you notice that, Number 0 (Zero) is counted in Goroawase and 1 in Goroawase is already a standalone for HITO = Chopper's Devil Fruit.
So now you got,
1 = Hito Hito no Mi
8, 7 = Hana Hana no Mi
4, 3 = Yomi Yomi No Mi
6, 9 = Moku Moku no Mi
2, 5 = Nika
So now, you're left with 0 and 10.
I played with all the combinations possible for this, that also results in SaNiGo (325)...and there is someone in the story right now, that is WITH THE STRAWHATS, that somehow got an unnamed ability, that perfectly fits into the goroawase.
10 and 0: JUREI JUREI NO MI = AGE AGE FRUIT.
So my prediction for the final members of the Strawhat Pirates: JEWELREY BONNEY AND VICE ADMIRAL SMOKER
the thing is i think what oda was going for is that luffys power is the power to turn the world on its head/upside down so the gomu gomu 56 being the nika would turn the 56 to 29
Great video! Sorry about the strike continuing... I'm sure it's got to be a big let down not being able to make content on the live action. Hopefully we'll get to hear all your thoughts on it soon!!
There's also the "goroawase" to complement Oda and his numbers but you truly need to be a MASTER at Japanese and I'm still lacking at that.
This is incredible though and in my head it's as good as confirmed until proven otherwise
Some people cook, this man straight up barbecues.
Great video, the math piece is real!
Damn, props to you for the whole video in general. Saying so many dates and numbers has got to be a pain in the ass even if you're reading them off a prompt behind the camera. Great job as always, hope you're right about 1103 being a Vivi chapter.
I like how the BB Croc connection would reinforce the idea of Luffy and BB as different sides of the same coin. They essentially want the same results but for very different reasons and go about getting there differently.
The last point about wapol funding project utopia what if it's also revealed that he is now funding cross guild because we know the money they have isn't from buggy or mihawk so it must be from crocodile because wapol is a king and successful businessman because of wapolmetal.
love that
Randy is the only OP youtuber I could wait for a theory from for years and still be excited about #HeatOnFeet !!
Mad props @RandyTroy for the research and for putting the jigsaw puzzle together. Now it makes too much sense for me to think anything else is possible hahaha
I like the idea that Robin and Luffy are siblings, and i think she figured it out at some point. She resembles Dragon, and i'm wondering if her mom is Garp's daughter.... Has Robin ever met Garp?
Robin was there when Garp showed up to Enies Lobby. All of her lines were suspiciously about Dragon!
@@RandyTroy it makes alot of sense right? I always found it worth noting how much warmth she has for Luffy, especially considering how "cool" she is otherwise. It's really like an older sister being bemusedly exasperated by her cute little brother's shenanigans.
“One”piece 🤯😂
Imagine it’s all one big coincidence and Oda is just like “oh. I never noticed”
he can play it off however he wants
So daddy the father is cannon that's epic
September 1st 2008, chapter 512, we see Kizaru clash with Rayleigh. September 4th 2023, chapter 1091, he clashes with Luffy. Maybe this time the inverse will happen and Kizaru goes down.
Ayo how did I miss this? Captain is cooking 👨🏼🍳
That’s it luffy gets to find out what the one piece is in the anniversary of usop asking Rayleigh
My very first video of this channel .
Liked and subscribed 👌
this lowkey feels like spoilers lmaoo
Got me ready for September RANDY DELIVERED!!!!❤😊🎉
I actually liked the Robin possibly being Luffys half-sister theory, thought it kinda made sense regarding what you mentioned about Dragon.
I was surprised that Skypiea was not mentioned in the video, was there any correlation for our first hinting at Nika and the reveal of luffys fruit in the numbers? Additionally, Skypiea/Jaya was in hindsight such an important arc in terms of lore and world building that i assumed you would have some future predictions coinciding with it. Do you have any?
Thanks for a great video!
Imagine if Robin broadcasts to the world the name of the ancient kingdom and Saturn is trying to kill her before he does but instead demon form Robin takes out saturn instead! The demon Saturn created comes back to take his head! If this all coincides with the reveal (that is head cannon for me) that Robin is luffy’s half sister and Luffy finally has a conversation with his dad and smoker saves them both instead of dragon saving Luffy from smoker that would be awesome. I think this method of using birthdays and anniversaries is odas way of keeping such a comped story unpredictable and also reminding him to continue to use key players, he challenges himself to fit them all into the story using these milestones so that he does not lose track of their roles and development? Or is the one piece itself deeply tied to numerology and fate prediction!!!!
Love it. I think it's a coping method for writers block, honestly. If he's stuck, he's got 26 years of his own content available to invert.
@@RandyTroy also… it actually creates a lot of surprise and brings people back into memory that have not been central to the story. We think we should be going with one storyline but suddenly seeming out of the blue it’s a shanks chapter or vivi appears again and it’s a surprise to most who do not have math piece tinfoil hats on but that way he keeps interjecting all of the storylines and world events from time to time. Then he challenges himself to make it fit into the story. Sometime for better sometimes for worse like the end of Wano
Oda Loves Numerology, been realizing this he is a Genius.
