  • Elbaf, the fabled land of giants, is hiding some big secrets about the world of One Piece. What can we expect to learn about the Red Line, the ancient weapons, and the void century from the upcoming arc?
    Today I'll be using Norse mythology to help answer some of those questions and mysteries.
    This video contains spoilers for the One Piece manga up to chapter 1111

      I got a theory bout joyboy. He was oars 1, the orginal continent puller and in his battle with the new world gov. His crew got captured. He probably could have kept fighting but valued his crew more so made a deal with the world government to spare their lives. The deal was to split pangea and make the grand line and the one piece world we see today. When he was doing this lily helped him leave poneglyphs around and thats why the gorosei despise her so much. After his journey of leaving the poneglyphs he went to wano, the country that isnt governed by the world government and lived the rest of his life. The giant skull in onigashima is his and i feel like thats only fitting thats why kaido lived there, someone who wanted to be joyboy and luffy unlocked gear 5 there. Thats also why the robot apologized for being captured or defeated and why zuenesha wasnt killed and now instead is walking for 800 years because of a crime zuenesha committed

    Oda said that he always wanted to draw a character with an eyepatch. He said when we see a character with an eyepatch, one piece will be near its end. Eyepatches are mainly attributed to pirates, but do you know who else wore an eyepatch? The Allfather, Odin.

    The comparison of Shanks and Odin got me thinking maybe the parellel exists somewhere else. We know he got that scar on his eye from Blackbeard, so to me it doesn't seem like it was a sacrifice he made. So what if him losing his arm while saving Luffy was that sacrifice? If you want to go even further, you could even say it wasn't an accident, he could've easily dealt with the Sea Beast, but chose to give away his arm for some other gain, just like how Odin gave up his eye for wisdom.

    Congrats on another banger, Hidden!
    You should check out the myth of Kvasir and the Mead of Poetry. I think that Kvasir is analogous to the technology that Vegapunk was working on with Punk Records and global connection to knowledge. This tech likely was present during the Void Century and could have been Binks Sake... I believe that drinking Binks Sake (Mead of Poetry) granted your dreams/wishes in the form of devil fruits... Eventually it gets stolen and hidden under a huge mountain... I could go on but I'll leave you to fill in the rest

    I think he is super important in the story but people are pushing him to the side like Koby. The fact that he is the first person to see the Gorosei forms shows how vital of a character he is in the final saga!

  • @Mooglatan
    @Mooglatan หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I have this general rule when using real world mythology to theorise about One Piece, which is that Oda has to have directly referenced that mythology in the story of One Piece itself. That way, not only can you be sure Oda knows about it, but it also means that Oda potentially wants you to know that he knows about it, because it's a hint.
    So it's significant to me that nearly every major part of Norse mythology gets a reference in some point in the story. Kaido's "Ragnarok" attack. Moria's "Shadow's Asgard" attack. The "serpent soaked in blood" being a clear reference to Jormungandr and more generally the fact that we have Elbaf, an island themed entirely around Norse mythology, which Oda has been building up for nearly the entire span of the series. At this point, Norse mythology is definitely a major, major hint for how the rest of the overarching story of One Piece is gonna pan out.

    I never made the leap to read the ridiculous back-catalog of OP, but I've been following the story from a certain point. Your theories are some of the best, for sure (and your channel's theme is perfect "chill"). I'm really looking forward to the answers that seem only just around the corner now. I'm sure the traditions of the Giants include a LOT of good lore. After all, Elbaf | fablE - what fable? Oh, only the very tale that the world government has wanted to keep very quiet for generations.
    Vegapunk, Ohara, etc knew the truth of the past, but only the Giants might know both the past AND what is fated to happen in the future (assuming it's not just a Norse naming scheme.. but it's Oda, so there will be some actual overlap, and it won't be just surface-deep).

  • @killuazoldyck7705
    @killuazoldyck7705 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I like the theory. Regarding "Urdabrunnr", I think Oda initially might have wanted to make Skypiea One Piece's "Urdabrunnr". As we know, Oda himself has said that he initially didnt think One Piece would go as long as it does, so I think when he got to Skypiea he had already made some parallels to Urdabrunnr but then decided to keep the show going and changed the skript a little.
    Some parallels:
    -highest layer = in the sky
    -3 maidens live at the well = the three Skypiean races: Birkans, Shandians and Skypieans
    -maidens that peer into the future = the Mantora that the priests of Skypiea as well as the little girl from the Shandians possessed, which we know would call just an advanced form of observation haki. Maybe the little girl could have played an even more important role in a parallel universe?
    -runes = well there was one porneglyph there I suppose but probably that was already partly changed.
    My guess is in a more shortened version One Piece would have still visited Elbaf as one of the last islands, since that was mentioned before Skypiea but maybe there wouldnt have been a Wano Kuni or even maybe even no Zou (if the need of road porneglyphs hadnt been a thing and since Zou was heavily intertwined with Wano). So like, after Skypiea where they had acquired knowledge of the first ancient weapon Uranus, they would continue to learn about Pluton on Water 7 and about Poseidon on Fishman Island but after Fishman they could have more or less already set sails to Elbaf to collect all 3 ancient weapons and destroy the red line. But either way, since One Piece was such a success and there was no need to finish it fast we got to see far more of the One Piece world and a potentially altered in which the strawhats learned about the ancient weapons. Thats just my theory... to your theory LOL.
    Also fun fact: In the German intro of the Skypiea arc ("Übers Meer) they also said that there is a "valuable treasure above the skies and only the one who acquires it can become king of the pirates", although in the original Japanese version (Bon Voyage) there is no mention of that so they took some translation liberty in it (in the original they just say "a treasure at the end of the sea and the one that claims it will be king of the pirates" which could just as well mean laugh tale).
    Also thats why I dont think we will get to see any return of Urouge, as some had theorized since he is so far pretty much the only supernova that didnt have any friendly or hostile relation to Luffy and his crew. (or maybe they eventually acquire Uranus and place it on Skypiea with the help of Urouge to place it "in the sky"??? similarly to how you said, that the redline will be destroyed from above, below and at sea level idk)

    Alright this might be a crazy stretch but Kaido used a move called Conquer of Three Worlds: Ragnaraku, so what if once Luffy conquers the three “worlds” as in the locations that the weapons are in Ragnarok begins, Poseidon is in Fishman Island which became Luffy’s territory, and u can argue he conquered Wano too by beating Kaido and Orochi, so next Luffy will go to Elbaf, Shanks’ territory and either win it in a Davy Back fight or just helping them like he always does thereby conquering it, this kinda hinges on Kaido’s knowledge of the Joyboy prophecy so it’s possible it inspired the name of his move

    Actually, just a thought... Luffy's generals all relate to the same thing as the ancient weapons.
    Sanji's mom is Sora - sky - Uranus
    Zoro's mom is Tera - earth - Pluton
    Jinbe is the first son of the sea - Poseidon
    And it makes sense for Zoro and Jinbe to commandeer Pluton and Poseidon. Zoro is from the land of Wano, and Wano is where Pluton hides. Jinbe knows Shirahoshi personally and would be the best to work with her undersea.
    That leaves Sanji to commander Uranus. But from that thread, would Uranus be in the North Blue? Or with Germa? (after listening, eta: so Elbaf, how does that connect to Sanji though?)

    8:32 I don't know if you mention it, but while Luffy could be the one to destroy the Red Line, I feel it'd be more of a set up for Usopp. This is based off the the Usopp Mjnoir theory, it'd make sense for him to be the one to destroy/fight the red line. If I remember correctly in Norse Mythos, Thor dies after destroying Jörmungandr, so it'd also tie into the Usopp dying as a brave warrior theory.

    Great theory. I think the Red Line theory is 100% right. I’m curious as to how exactly it was created though. So much potential there. Also excited to see how much of this lines up with whatever we get in the void century reveal. Nice job and high quality though!

    So I have an interesting idea regarding Elbaf. We know the Giants see Joyboy/Nika as a god (the sun god), but the giants have more than one god, one of which is Elbaf, who is said to honourably judge their battles. My theory is that the "god" Elbaf was a member of Joyboy's crew, specifically his version of Usopp, who was one the "bravest warrior of the sea"

    I like how you laid out your theory man, good video. Especially the Imu tie in to Ymir.
    What do we think happened to the Egg Roger had? Because there is a myth in Slavic mythology about the Buyan Bird protecting a giant tree, maybe the Adam tree on Elbaf?
    The 3 Fates that you said sit at the top of Yggdrasil at a well also appear in Greek Mythology, and lately I've been really thinking about the 3 times the Iron Oars seems to have awoken 800/200/now. Could we describe the challenge of Luffy(really the Nika Fruit) reaching Laugh Tale at the end of the Grand Line like a climbing a mountain? Because for some reason the myth of Sisyphys pushing a boulder up the mountain day after day only to start again at the bottom has become very intriging to me. Especailly after we found out the fruit hadn't been captured in 800 years by the WG until about 13 years ago right? So what if it kept getting eaten by different users who all tried to make it to Laugh Tale toeither finish what was started or avenge the original Joyboy, because Zoan fruits can carry some will of their own too right?
    Also makes me wonder if Blackbeard has a "3 fates" Devil Fruit, or combine it with Ceberus Zoan fruit for 3 heads and voila. Thats how he can consume multiple fruits too, and his faces/teeth look different and he never sleeps becase he swaps between heads in human form but we haven't seen his true DF form yet.

      I would say Shanks is Baldur. Their descriptions match. Shanks last name is close to Baldurs mother’s name.
      Baldur was pretty cool with the giants it seem as even they wept when he died
      And he died due to Loki , whose name is used in one piece as the giants king or prince.
      Shanks equal (in my opinion) would be a mix of Tyr and Baldur

    GREAT VIDEO!
    I have a couple of facts and thoughts that build on this
    First of all, coincidentally (not) both FMI and Marigeoise (Asgard) and located 10.000 meters below and above the sea level, which makes the island and human (Midgard) at EXCATLY the middle between those 2 points.
    Also you said that once the redline is broken there will come fire and then floods. I think it is obvious Noa will be used to save the humans, why else would a giant ship be located in FMI where most everyone can swim? The real role of Poseidon is to control the seabeast to move the Noa and save the other races, not to destroy the redline!

    Dang, this is a really compelling theory. I still can’t believe we’ll probably end up on elbaf this arc. Something else that goes with this theory that’s interesting is that ragnarok is a cycle. Given that we know that the lunarians were the red lines previous inhabitants, I wouldn’t be suprised if ragnorok has played out before and the difference this time will be breaking the cycle of history.
    This theory makes me wonder if joyboy was attempting to do the same with the ancient weapons, and was either betrayed my Imu or they were never fighting together but imu ended up taking over the redline after joyboy drove out the lunarians. If either is the case, I’m sure Blackbeard will attempt to do the same and then luffy will succeed where joyboy failed especially given him trying to get in good with the world government. But maybe that’s just my hope that Blackbeard will be the final antagonist lol. Anyway, great vid as always!

    • @Pickn4Gold
      @Pickn4Gold หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I've been intrigued by Sisyphys the last couple weeks, the man cursed to forever roll a boulder up a mountain only to restart at the bottom each day.
      Makes me kind of wonder if other Nika Fruit users made it far on the Grand Line and if maybe one did awaken near wherever the Iron Oas was being stored 200 years ago. It didn't awaken when Luffy got Gear 5 on Wano a week or two sail away, so maybe Zunesha couldn't hear the time it awakened 200 years ago before that Joyboy was killed and the fruit went to a new user. Also how the WG got it +/- 13 years ago, they finally got the user to Impel Down or something and had the only fruit for a long distance upstairs in the guard house until it flipped into a new fruit.
      I also gotta say I still think Blackbeard is the final antagonist, seems like Luffy and Blackbeard will fight for the power vacuum that is about to appear in the world. Plus there is a part of me that thinks Blackbeard needs to WG to tell him where the Man Marked by Flames is for the Final Poneglyph which is why Catarina touching Saturn matters, and it also matters that the last time we saw Leffitte was when they asked a recently recruited Kuzan who the Man Marked by Flames is.(who I think is the Warlord Ace beat before Luffy took off, Ace would have burnt that Warlord correct?)

    I really love this video, recently started rewatching one piece from the beginning and have been seeing awesome parallels aswell, didn't see the connection between Arlong park and the red line tho!
    I wanna share a theory I've thought of:
    - I think Imu might not actually be a just a villain, but also the princess that has been captured from the blue sea to do some work for the world government. Luffy saving Nami would in a sense be a paralell to the end of the story. I'd guess Imu is pressured to comply at the promise of buying freedom for the blue sea she had been living in before she was taken up to her high castle tower. Probably something about history, rewriting history, keeping track of history, something like that. We have not a single time in the series seen a historian, and the archeologists on Ohara were the only scholars close to that.
    - I believe the ancient weapons to have been sisters who wanted to go explore the forest together. Shirahoshi wanted to go visit the sea forest, locked inside to be safe. Imu might also want to go see a forest again, which was down at the blue sea, but is locked on the red line where no tree grows .The third sister, now called Pluton, was of the sky and a lunarian or burkan or other type of sky race that came down from the sky for the fairy vearth to grow plants. All of the princesses wanted to be free to explore the forest their farmer friend they called Joyboy always went to to adventure and told them stories about, but they were locked inside and couldn't enjoy nature.
    - Devil fruits were called Dream Fruits, the D. apethet means Dreams and the person that betrayed Joyboy is of the same people as Blackbeard and Cavendish are that can't sleep/can't DREAM, which is why they betrayed Joyboy, greedily taking away the Dream Fruits. In hopes to shroud the history, the name was changed.
    I have some more, let me know what you think!

    Those things hanging out in the Floridian triangle that looks like a large Imu...maybe Imu is the leader of the Giants that are cleverly hidden in the place nobody can get to. Wonder what else is hidden in that triangle? Also, was it Oden who gave an eye to drink from the well (mythology...not from One Piece)....I'm wondering if Oda is going to tackle this one with the pirate wearing an eye patch, if it's Joyboy of the past or if Luffy ends up losing an eye and has to wear a patch...???

    I love this theory, but I have one more thing to add: I think it should be noted that Topman Warcury told the giants that "[they] have unfinished business with [their] kind", if the theory is true that Imu possesses Uranus, it's possible that during the void century, they managed to steal Uranus from Elbaf but didn't wipe out the race of the giants. As such, we might visit the island where Uranus is *supposed* to be, but we won't find it there.
