Had a fun thought that Joy Boy's funny story is about him freeing the world from "rulers" so he could then use the ancient weapons to ferry people of the world to his party. Uranus for the skypieans and lunarians, Poseidon moves the Noah for the fishman, and Pluton moves the "humans". And since he failed he also wrote down his favorite song to share with everyone that finds the one piece so it can be played at the party when it finally happens. Of course he didn't expect it to be as popular as it became and that world already knows it.
Watch the One Piece be Rogers journal detailing his crews journey. He did say "all that I've gathered" after all. Rogers treasure could be the memories he made with his closest friends.
I really like this idea that it will only make sense if you watch/read all 1000+ chapters/episodes. Makes me really hope the One Piece wiki puts a huge spoiler warning over the actual wiki page that tells what the actual One Piece is so that some kid can't just look up what it is as a replacement for reading/watching the series
That Rayleigh quote is what I will say to any young person I meet who is getting into One Piece for the first time to keep them from just jumping to the end whenever the whole series is over.
I really hope that the entire community just silently agrees to doing this. Something similar developed in the Wheel of Time fandom, where "Read and Find Out" became a sort of tag line for those asking questions without finishing the series.
This entire video made me question if Roger laughed because he didn’t understand the whole thing again. Oden was surprised because he’s seeing their reaction from an outside perspective but seeing Roger and His Crew, who all possibly grew up in the outside world (ie Wano), it would seem strange. Almost like saying a Dark Joke with friends vs Saying it to a stranger. Maybe the Straw Hats won’t laugh at the One Piece but feel shocked and nervous
When Tekking's spaghetti thoughts transcend all of our deep contemplation... I hope this is the case, and if anyone could pull off a 30-year secret that is truly made by the journey, it would be Oda. I'm sure others have suggested this before, but I actually think Matt has nailed this one, it would make a great deal of sense for part of the One Piece to BE the story of One Piece
You bring up a good point about how googling the phrase *"what is the one piece?"* might not bring a satisfactory answer to a new fan, as you may need to have watched and comprehended most of the story first-hand to appreciate it. The one case that comes to mind of this is in Citizen Kane, with the big mystery that's at the center of the plot: Kane's last words *"Rosebud."* I've seen the phrase "rosebud is a sled" stated as a deadpan meme a few times - which is factually correct, and to people who don't know the story or haven't seen the movie, it sounds ridiculous. But to those who have seen it, the reveal of what rosebud really is - mind you, it actually *is* a sled - has more meaning to it, because we as viewers know what this sled represented *to Kane.* Apologies to anybody reading this comment who just got spoiled on this, but to be fair: The movie has been out for 80+ years.
I would love it if Oda makes this a interactive experience where you HAVE to read and watch it to understand it. Because even if he did tell us it wouldn't make sense until he got to that point in the story.
It feels almost like Oda, through Raleigh, is telling people who haven't read the story all the way through to not try and rush to the end so quickly. To enjoy the journey cause once you know then you know. The phrasing he used when Raleigh was talking to Robin was interesting "Even if I told you, as you are now, you wouldn't be able to do anything about it" It's wild that Raleigh was sitting there and he knows EVERYTHING you want to know. I understand Usopp's trigger happy nature to want to find out and Robin's curiosity but regardless it's better to find out for themselves what it all means. Raleigh even said that him and the Roger pirates came to a certain conclusion once they found out but the straw hats may come to a different one. So it's apparently something that is up for interpretation. He wouldn't have said that otherwise. It's not some straight answer sort of thing
It's like when back in the days you would jokingly look up super sayian 6 or something but this time you get actual manga panels and articles titled " Luffy has actually eaten a mythical zoan !!?? "
This is a really good point that I'm surprised nobody has ever talked about... but I do wonder how future generations of manga/anime fans will perceive the story of One Piece years after it has ended... Not to discredit or disparage Oda's ability to tell a nuanced complex story with extremely well liked and complicated characters but you would have to be kidding yourself if you don't think a lot of the love, passion, and over all appeal of the story relies on the mystery of what the one piece, void century, will of D and other unanswered questions.
based on nothing, I believe the Ancient Kingdom is called Bink (the Bink Kingdom, something like that) the music will still make sense and is a name that has meaning to the readers and the characters, making sense to keep the name hidden from the readers ( e.g. when Clover dies before saying the name )
Imagine starting on the season ash wins though lol. Like i was rooting hard as a 9 year old for gen 4 ash then that dude with like all legendaries appears and whoops him lmao
Not to mention most fans won’t even know about the Poneglyphs and the void century until Alabasta. So even a surface level explanation wouldn’t make sense unless you already knew
I feel like one piece is already like that with how you said you could just see things in the background. I started rewatching and when sanji first meets luffy he saves him from the water, he cant find him at first but then something like haki happens and he finds him immediately. The sound that plays when he does is similar to haki and everything
Tbh it felt like at the time of sanjis introduction oda may have thought about him being the 2nd strongest or the 2nd in command. For example In the baratie sanji fights both gin and the pearl guy who were kreigs direct underlings and in arlong park sanji fought karrubi while zoro fought hachi. Tho i may be over thinking things
@@weirdperson9406 Zoro for all intents and purposes should've been dead after his encounter with Mihawk though. Even Arlong was like "This guy shouldn't be alive with these wounds. He's dangerous. I need to kill him" (or something along those lines). Early Sanji definitely seemed more impressive than Zoro though, I will agree on that.
MAKE IT AN UNSPOKEN RULE! We as the og one piece community have to introduce new members like this. Don’t tell them anything, just tell them to keep going and to enjoy the journey, that way when they get to end like we will eventually then will understand the teachings of the old guard and they will carry on the Will Of D!
You see it with some games on Twitch. Games that revolve around some sort of mystery or gotcha moment tend to have communities who enjoy watching people go through the same journey they did on their first playthroughs. I hope the One Piece community will be kind to the new comers in years to come and protect the secrets for them
Its exactly correlations its us, the caught up fans. If you tell me 5 years ago that the will of D means the will of dreams, i would think thats so vague and doesnt make sense. But now that we know what dreams and desires truly mean, it makes sense.
And even if nothing you said is true, knowing what the one piece is early on in the story will make the Reyleigh scene more impactful and you will continue watching/reading One Piece as a mini Reyleigh, just to see the Strawhats reaction to it. Also, it is not like knowing what one piece is tells you the story, you still have to watch/read the story to know what happened and how it leads to that conclusion you already know.
The best thing would be if we consider that yes, for the big mysterious One Piece and will of D you would need to know a lot of references, even if someone tried to read up on all of those it would just be walls of text and explanation. I mean, even the name Joy Boy doesnt appear for a long time in the story and it feels like that would be the center piece. How much time and effort would it take to try and understand One Piece by spoiling on the important story events? And even then it still might not be enough of information. THAT would be brilliant.
The first chapter to release after I caught up was the Gear Fifth reveal, my brother started a few months ago and just finished Thriller Bark... Seeing how both of us know about it from different points in the story is really interesting and I feel like it would feel similar for the end of the story It's also really cool because a lot of the stuff happening on Egghead seem to be built off of the things that happened during Water 7... 👀
I bet the reason Rayleigh warned Robin not to be too hasty is because Im/ The Marines came to the conclusion to do what they do without the full context of the situation, and if Rayleigh told them without it they’d do the same.
I had spaghetti last night as well!!! After you cook your pasta FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS WORLD put a lot of butter and a little bit of salt on the pasta before you mix in the sauce, but after you have boiled the pasta. The pasta should taste good on it's own. Then you mix in the sauce. Sometime you may need to add a little bit of sugar in the tomato sauce (but not to much). Try this next time and you will be pleasantly surprised at the large improvement in taste.
You have a very good point Tekking. Literally people probably will never watch the series once they just know what the one piece is from the very beginning
Tekking I just really wanna say thank you. I was let go from my job and it sucked and for about 2 days. then I was lucky enough to get a new one. But for them 2 days this week I binged so much of your stuff man. As a 29 year old man I just wanna say thanks for being so fun to watch. And even after OP ends I'll still be here man.
"This discussion involves the One Piece" Me: Obviously, this is a One Piece discussion....oh wait, THE One Piece. I think One Piece is not an object but a sequence of events and information accumulating to one single moment, one single piece that connects everything. In the end, there is a tangible and metaphorical reward. Your theory is also very good. I feel like you just predicted what it really is. Roger crew laughed because it did not make any sense and they were too late because the events needing to occur to make it make sense did not happen when they arrived.
I had the similar thought about what you had tekking about people just looking it up when ever a certain character died in the MarineFord Arc. Cause I was there for the anime airing weekly and not knowing about it thru the manga during the old school Hulu days. Cause after that event, everyone knew he died and all the new readers knew about it back when they first picked it up bc it was revealed in an auto complete Google search.
All I can say is that one peice is such a detailed and foreshadowed manga that I am absolutely certain that we know what it is right now, we just need to be shown that we did.
First off....homemade or bagged meatballs? Second....the quailman theme got me . Doug was one of Nickelodeons first cartoons. I'm an old head. It was one of my jams
What if Pandaman was the One Piece treasure? And he is traveling all around the world to find a worthy sucessor to hear Joyboy's Tale until he stumbles onto Luffy and from Fuusha onwards he follows Luffy on his journey to become Pirate King by appearing on his adventures wherever he goes
"the true treasure was the SUFFERING we had waiting 30 years" (but yeah, seriously, the whole waiting for all this time, learning a bit at the time, definitely contributes. We're traveling, not fast-forwarding through)
This is an amazing observation. Tekking I actually think you’re 100% correct here and I think this theory is the closest thing to seriously figuring out what the One Piece is. Or I guess what the “nature” of the One Piece is
It’s so crazy how this TH-cam Anime guy is one of the longest friendships that I’ve ever had… mans never ask for a sub or like. Aye Matt you the kizo ko 0 won knee or whatever.. more life mane inshallah
Tekking definitely got the secret to the one piece. He released a theory a while back and obviously since Oda fact checks every video he told tekking he can’t release it and made him swear an oath. Mad respect Tekking
What if we get to the One Piece and it's guarded by a mysterious figure, someone who has not only been charged with keeping the One Piece safe but making sure the correct group of pirates finds it? What if that person, who's been along for the journey as a silent watchman this whole time...was Panda Man?!?
i really like this reveal idea. i think it could involve something like an extended version of binks sake or the explanation of it. from outside it would look like a funny tale but if you know the lore you would get it.
Ray says that they might draw different conclusions about the one piece and it’s history than the roger pirates. And doesn’t want to influence them which leads me to believe that the one piece is up to interpretation like to each their own type of situation
are you ever gonna do a house tour? or a tour of all your manga collections? I'd love to see what manga you have and everything. I want to know how the amazing tekking lives.
Wow nostalgia feels wit the doug music it’s actually great cartoon once you give a chance. Tekking should do some vids on early or late 90s cartoons 👌🏾
I love this idea. However I am of two minds here. I can't wait to see the end. To have all the mysteries solved. That is one mind. I am hyped and excited. But on the other hand, I am so insanely selfish. I don't want it to ever end. The journey, the world being explored and seen is so fascinating and amazing, the mystery, the wonder it is so magical. Oda truly captured the true meaning of romanticism, to such a degree, that if he was capable I would love to have him go forever, and only after decades truly finish and tell us everything. The journey and the adventure is the most fun part. I agree with Luffy. In his shoes I would have done the same thing with Rayleigh. Had he told me anything, I would turn around and go home.
With how massive and far Oda's imagination can reach, I believe that he can make it possible, make one piece as something that only makes sense if you understand the heart and soul of the story.
That’s the hope, to that people will wait to tell it so people can find out for themselves. But some stupid websites are gonna blare it all over the internet because they are jerks like that.
There it is you said it? The second season of making making spaghetti... First three episodes regular spaghetti spaghetti meatballs chicken spaghetti 🍝
I've had this mindset about one piece since I really got into it. Because I had tried to get into it many times and couldn't. And it wasn't until I saw stuff about wano that I was just like "ok how the heck does this goofy stretchy boy get to this". And it's almost the exact thing as the Nika fruit. Someone who doesn't know one piece would hear luffys fruit is the Nika fruit and be like "ok and?" But after catching up its like "OHHH OK AND NOW WHAT?!" So I even have a theory that the fans have essentially predicted EVERYTHING but nothing at the same time. Because we are trying to make it match up to knowledge we know, and we don't know as much as a lot of characters most of the time. I once looked up what the answers to these questions were. And I found the journey that is being a fan of one piece. A while ago I made my mind up that no matter what the one piece is. It's been worth it to me.
Wow, weird Tekking is doing this today. Just a couple of hours ago I watched another video about this. It was first uploaded 2 weeks ago, though. But still! What are the odds?
I never thought about it like that. The people who get into one piece after it’s over are definitely going to have a harder time reading it with all the anticipation they are going to experience. Like tekking said, us reading it right now weekly, we don’t have the option to Google the answer of what the one piece is. Which I think is better, cause if you do that it might ruin your experience with the story. To the people who start one piece in 5-6 years when it’s over, try to have as much discipline and patience as possible and enjoy the story as people of the past have lol.
I kind of agree with you tekking that it will not make sense to new readers. But I do think that if I know someone that is starting it and they ask me what the one piece is I could tell them and maybe just maybe we can see all the foreshadowing that Oda has put in the story and to some it could mak the story better
One Piece could be the Map/Compass of Dreams, the Will of D. might be the Will of Dawn or Will of Dreams when you wake up in the morning and realize your dream "smiling." By which people dreaming of the Sun God Nika, wishing for the sunrise in the morning after your dream. Like Devil Fruits being realized as they came from people's desires or dreams.
Its the smiles we make along the way. You must always keep on dreaming ladies and gents. One Piece is living your life free and not letting the world bring you down
that first point really hurts to think about, and I dont trust the internet to not spoil it beyond that point obviously. Im glad im in now and not after, for sure
In my opinion what makes the most sense, coming and going, is that the One Piece is is fact one piece of information, like a globe. So it’s easy to imagine something like that not making any sense within the context of the full story.
I agree with the idea that the One Piece is something weird and esoteric that you won't properly understand unless you read the whole story ahead of time, and it lines up with my theory about what it is: I think the One Piece is a giant barrel of sake that needed to age exactly 800 years. It was brewed by Joy Boy, which was a pseudonym using the initials JB, his real name being Jaguar Binks. He was the ancestor of Saul (thus the giant straw hat in Marijoa) and the Binks from Binks' Sake. The point of the One Piece being a barrel of sake is that it represents a party, it represents all of the D families reuniting after 800 years and having a party together. I think the D stands for the name of Joy Boy's crew, and each crewmember took "D" into their name as a symbol of their camaraderie and a promise to come back together again in the future, similar to the Straw Hats writing the X on their arms at Alabasta. That's the kind of weird obtuse storytelling that I hope the One Piece is, something that makes no sense to hear about it without reading the story ahead of time.
Will we ever see any Toriko videos. I picked up and read the whole series cause of hearing you talk about jiro in one of your videos, I absolutely loved it
Oddly enough it was this channel back in the spring of 2020 that got me to bight the bullet and finally watch One piece. I had been putting it off because my first look at one piece was when back when kidsdub was running the show and I thought one piece was just another dud but bleach was the shit but man I relies that I had been missing so much.
As someone who also does the "reading the last page of a book before starting from page 1" relatively consistently, and then there's the amount of anime and movies where I saw their conclusion before I got to watch it proper, like, ffs, the first episodes of Dragonball I saw as a kid on tv were GT before I got to start with the original... I don't think it'd be that difficult to write the One Piece so that you'd still be moved to read the entire story (or close to) even knowing the conclusion. Like, Naruto is a good example with this, even if you know that Naruto becomes the Hokage, you kinda want to know how he got there, what kinda struggles he had to surpass, stuff like that. I don't think it's that different when the goal is a material treasure, you'd want to know the significance of it. What WOULD be more difficult would be, as you mentioned Rayleigh implied, that its meaning changes depending on where you are in the story. Generally, I feel that'd require some "so is it a good or a bad thing?" kinda dynamic, basically like how the perception of what titans are in Attack on Titan switched multiple times throughout that series, where just knowing what they are wouldn't give you a good idea of it and would change how you perceive the leading actors. That... I feel is somewhat lacking in One Piece, our perspective is relatively consistent with "freedom good, pirates want freedom, but not all pirates are good, WG restricts freedom, but not all facettes of the WG are bad", so I don't think Oda could actually go for something like this, so I don't feel that's what Rayleigh meant. At best, there could be one big twist towards the end, but if that was the case, all you'd need to know is that one twist. So since he can't change the meaning of the One Piece, what he could do instead might be to change its *significance* and that's again where I'd bring up Attack on Titan since I'd say that was actually quite important towards its conclusion, a question like "is the existence of Titans necessary in the world?", we can see something similar in One Piece with the One Piece at first only being this treasure, that, while impressive as "the worlds greatest treasure", doesn't seem to be much more, but as we go on, we kinda learn the significance of it being the sign of the "king of the pirates" and the importance of that title, we learn about its relation to the Void Century, Joyboy and the World Government, we have theories about it being a plan to literally terraform the entire world of One Piece as we know it, in that sense, skipping directly to what the One Piece is without reading the story could maybe end up being something similar to just learning what Erens goal towards the end of Attack on Titan is. In general, I think a story that can easily be skipped by reading its final page is a badly written story... or the reader has no sense for literature/fantasy, that's also an option. A story is after all not a scientific experiment where only the conclusion is generally important, as cliche as it is, in a story, to a certain degree, the journey should always be part of the goal.
Tekking, what’s if the One Piece is an ever changing thing, like for Roger it was Luffy’s story told through Joy Boy’s perspective, and when Luffy get’s there it tells the story of Joy Boy when he was initially around in the void century, but everyone who reads the story is told something completely different.
it's like seeking mr. eaten's name, except instead of Oda asking that nobody discuss ANYTHING past a certain point and only reveal cryptic hints, it only MAKES SENSE if you've gone through the whole adventure.
Well a summary for One Piece once it has ended could be: Condom boy turns out to be a happy accident goes on to use a phallic shaped object to Uranus to free willy. (Hopefully something funnier) but i think it's going to be relativly hard for new readers because it's going to be so meme worthy. And yes there are already hints that i expect will blow our minds. Like the depiction of whales on the Alabasta temple.
If I ever have kids and they wanna read One Piece … if they ask me what it is imma just show them this video and tell them “don’t rush it kid, I waiting and the wait … it was definitely worth it.”
It reminds me how Darth Vader being Luke's father went from a groundbreaking twist to a well-known meme.
And a twist that was turned into 3 movies and at least 2 TV shows at that
Well as a guy who didn't even watch anything from this franchise and wanted to start it I can confirm I have been spoiled
Didn't think about that.
Wait what!?!
Even having grown up knowing ahead of time, the twist still holds a lot of weight considering how visceral Luke's shock is.
Scary that we will all become like Rayleigh once One Piece is over

Oden was surprised because he’s seeing their reaction from an outside perspective but seeing Roger and His Crew, who all possibly grew up in the outside world (ie Wano), it would seem strange. Almost like saying a Dark Joke with friends vs Saying it to a stranger. Maybe the Straw Hats won’t laugh at the One Piece but feel shocked and nervous
When Tekking's spaghetti thoughts transcend all of our deep contemplation...
I hope this is the case, and if anyone could pull off a 30-year secret that is truly made by the journey, it would be Oda.
I'm sure others have suggested this before, but I actually think Matt has nailed this one, it would make a great deal of sense for part of the One Piece to BE the story of One Piece
You bring up a good point about how googling the phrase *"what is the one piece?"* might not bring a satisfactory answer to a new fan, as you may need to have watched and comprehended most of the story first-hand to appreciate it. The one case that comes to mind of this is in Citizen Kane, with the big mystery that's at the center of the plot: Kane's last words *"Rosebud."* I've seen the phrase "rosebud is a sled" stated as a deadpan meme a few times - which is factually correct, and to people who don't know the story or haven't seen the movie, it sounds ridiculous. But to those who have seen it, the reveal of what rosebud really is - mind you, it actually *is* a sled - has more meaning to it, because we as viewers know what this sled represented *to Kane.*
Apologies to anybody reading this comment who just got spoiled on this, but to be fair: The movie has been out for 80+ years.
I would love it if Oda makes this a interactive experience where you HAVE to read and watch it to understand it. Because even if he did tell us it wouldn't make sense until he got to that point in the story.
So…Oda would pull a Scott Cawthon?

Raleigh even said that him and the Roger pirates came to a certain conclusion once they found out but the straw hats may come to a different one. So it's apparently something that is up for interpretation. He wouldn't have said that otherwise. It's not some straight answer sort of thing
Honestly one of my favorite type of tekking vids. Just his pure thoughts. It's really interesting
I always saw the scene in Sabaody as Oda directly talking to us. Great video as always
You making this video will also help minimize the risk of people searching for it and people answering on forums etc. Great as always Tekking!
The whole googling thing kinda applies now in regards to Luffy's fruit now that I think about it
Yeah, it’s sad bc everyone who’s been spoiled miss the hype🥲
It's like when back in the days you would jokingly look up super sayian 6 or something but this time you get actual manga panels and articles titled " Luffy has actually eaten a mythical zoan !!?? "
This is a really good point that I'm surprised nobody has ever talked about... but I do wonder how future generations of manga/anime fans will perceive the story of One Piece years after it has ended... Not to discredit or disparage Oda's ability to tell a nuanced complex story with extremely well liked and complicated characters but you would have to be kidding yourself if you don't think a lot of the love, passion, and over all appeal of the story relies on the mystery of what the one piece, void century, will of D and other unanswered questions.
based on nothing, I believe the Ancient Kingdom is called Bink (the Bink Kingdom, something like that) the music will still make sense and is a name that has meaning to the readers and the characters, making sense to keep the name hidden from the readers ( e.g. when Clover dies before saying the name )
One piece is a picture of luffy's crew, law's crew, kid's crew..., shanks' crew, buggy, marines,revolutionary all smiling and partying
no
Regarding the first part, now Tekking gets how every Pokemon Ash fan feels. He did the thing.
Imagine starting on the season ash wins though lol. Like i was rooting hard as a 9 year old for gen 4 ash then that dude with like all legendaries appears and whoops him lmao
You are one of the strangest TH-camrs I watch, Tekking. I love you.
Once we figure out what the One Piece is it will be like Pandora's Box unable to put it back in
This is the most sense orientated video in a while. Kudos to @Tekking101.
Not to mention most fans won’t even know about the Poneglyphs and the void century until Alabasta. So even a surface level explanation wouldn’t make sense unless you already knew
I feel like one piece is already like that with how you said you could just see things in the background.
I started rewatching and when sanji first meets luffy he saves him from the water, he cant find him at first but then something like haki happens and he finds him immediately. The sound that plays when he does is similar to haki and everything
Tbh it felt like at the time of sanjis introduction oda may have thought about him being the 2nd strongest or the 2nd in command. For example In the baratie sanji fights both gin and the pearl guy who were kreigs direct underlings and in arlong park sanji fought karrubi while zoro fought hachi. Tho i may be over thinking things
@@weirdperson9406 Zoro for all intents and purposes should've been dead after his encounter with Mihawk though. Even Arlong was like "This guy shouldn't be alive with these wounds. He's dangerous. I need to kill him" (or something along those lines). Early Sanji definitely seemed more impressive than Zoro though, I will agree on that.
@@wisewolfds yeah. And around whiskey peak oda decided zoro is the stronger one
MAKE IT AN UNSPOKEN RULE! We as the og one piece community have to introduce new members like this. Don’t tell them anything, just tell them to keep going and to enjoy the journey, that way when they get to end like we will eventually then will understand the teachings of the old guard and they will carry on the Will Of D!
You see it with some games on Twitch. Games that revolve around some sort of mystery or gotcha moment tend to have communities who enjoy watching people go through the same journey they did on their first playthroughs.
I hope the One Piece community will be kind to the new comers in years to come and protect the secrets for them
Ahhhh man I remember when I first watch my first string of Tekking video. It's exactly what tekking said at 1:11. So much nostalgia
Its exactly correlations its us, the caught up fans. If you tell me 5 years ago that the will of D means the will of dreams, i would think thats so vague and doesnt make sense. But now that we know what dreams and desires truly mean, it makes sense.
And even if nothing you said is true, knowing what the one piece is early on in the story will make the Reyleigh scene more impactful and you will continue watching/reading One Piece as a mini Reyleigh, just to see the Strawhats reaction to it. Also, it is not like knowing what one piece is tells you the story, you still have to watch/read the story to know what happened and how it leads to that conclusion you already know.
Imagine knowing what the one piece is and still not knowing the crazy arcs that lead up to that
@@3dsmaster537 they could know what it is, but how could they appreciate it without loving the series and the characters in it
The best thing would be if we consider that yes, for the big mysterious One Piece and will of D you would need to know a lot of references, even if someone tried to read up on all of those it would just be walls of text and explanation. I mean, even the name Joy Boy doesnt appear for a long time in the story and it feels like that would be the center piece. How much time and effort would it take to try and understand One Piece by spoiling on the important story events? And even then it still might not be enough of information. THAT would be brilliant.
The first chapter to release after I caught up was the Gear Fifth reveal, my brother started a few months ago and just finished Thriller Bark... Seeing how both of us know about it from different points in the story is really interesting and I feel like it would feel similar for the end of the story
It's also really cool because a lot of the stuff happening on Egghead seem to be built off of the things that happened during Water 7... 👀
Love the video and keep up the great work tekking
I bet the reason Rayleigh warned Robin not to be too hasty is because Im/ The Marines came to the conclusion to do what they do without the full context of the situation, and if Rayleigh told them without it they’d do the same.
I had spaghetti last night as well!!!
After you cook your pasta FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS WORLD put a lot of butter and a little bit of salt on the pasta before you mix in the sauce, but after you have boiled the pasta.
The pasta should taste good on it's own. Then you mix in the sauce.
Sometime you may need to add a little bit of sugar in the tomato sauce (but not to much).
Try this next time and you will be pleasantly surprised at the large improvement in taste.
You have a very good point Tekking. Literally people probably will never watch the series once they just know what the one piece is from the very beginning
Tekking I just really wanna say thank you. I was let go from my job and it sucked and for about 2 days. then I was lucky enough to get a new one. But for them 2 days this week I binged so much of your stuff man. As a 29 year old man I just wanna say thanks for being so fun to watch. And even after OP ends I'll still be here man.
"This discussion involves the One Piece"
Me: Obviously, this is a One Piece discussion....oh wait, THE One Piece.
I think One Piece is not an object but a sequence of events and information accumulating to one single moment, one single piece that connects everything. In the end, there is a tangible and metaphorical reward. Your theory is also very good. I feel like you just predicted what it really is.
Roger crew laughed because it did not make any sense and they were too late because the events needing to occur to make it make sense did not happen when they arrived.
I had the similar thought about what you had tekking about people just looking it up when ever a certain character died in the MarineFord Arc. Cause I was there for the anime airing weekly and not knowing about it thru the manga during the old school Hulu days. Cause after that event, everyone knew he died and all the new readers knew about it back when they first picked it up bc it was revealed in an auto complete Google search.
Thank you for adding all your new videos to ur playlist
All I can say is that one peice is such a detailed and foreshadowed manga that I am absolutely certain that we know what it is right now, we just need to be shown that we did.
Dude, I hope your theory comes true! Having the one piece be some obscure thing that requires knowledge of the series to comprehend would be epic!
Please add this to your playlist I love having you playlist on shuffle and watching your videos
Tekking Vs NuxTaku Cringe Haki Vs Meme Jutsu
First off....homemade or bagged meatballs?
Second....the quailman theme got me . Doug was one of Nickelodeons first cartoons. I'm an old head. It was one of my jams
What if Pandaman was the One Piece treasure? And he is traveling all around the world to find a worthy sucessor to hear Joyboy's Tale until he stumbles onto Luffy and from Fuusha onwards he follows Luffy on his journey to become Pirate King by appearing on his adventures wherever he goes
"the true treasure was the SUFFERING we had waiting 30 years" (but yeah, seriously, the whole waiting for all this time, learning a bit at the time, definitely contributes. We're traveling, not fast-forwarding through)
This is an amazing observation. Tekking I actually think you’re 100% correct here and I think this theory is the closest thing to seriously figuring out what the One Piece is. Or I guess what the “nature” of the One Piece is
Late Night. Reading your comments with tekking101.
Best animated fact intro ever lol I was literally hoping you would use the Quail Man theme for the intro lol
It’s so crazy how this TH-cam Anime guy is one of the longest friendships that I’ve ever had… mans never ask for a sub or like. Aye Matt you the kizo ko 0 won knee or whatever.. more life mane inshallah
Tekking definitely got the secret to the one piece. He released a theory a while back and obviously since Oda fact checks every video he told tekking he can’t release it and made him swear an oath. Mad respect Tekking
What if we get to the One Piece and it's guarded by a mysterious figure, someone who has not only been charged with keeping the One Piece safe but making sure the correct group of pirates finds it? What if that person, who's been along for the journey as a silent watchman this whole time...was Panda Man?!?
Glad you mentioned Doug, my first thought when you announced quails was Quail Man.
This man was so proud of his quail facts intro
i really like this reveal idea. i think it could involve something like an extended version of binks sake or the explanation of it. from outside it would look like a funny tale but if you know the lore you would get it.
Ray says that they might draw different conclusions about the one piece and it’s history than the roger pirates. And doesn’t want to influence them which leads me to believe that the one piece is up to interpretation like to each their own type of situation
You always bring such good points I’m very happy to have picked up one piece when I did
are you ever gonna do a house tour? or a tour of all your manga collections? I'd love to see what manga you have and everything. I want to know how the amazing tekking lives.
I'm still back at Marineford, but thanks to your videos I'll have a better grasp of things when the one piece is revealed
That got me even more hyped haha, i really like your idea, thanks a lot!
Thank you for mentioning quail man my faith remains in you
Wow nostalgia feels wit the doug music it’s actually great cartoon once you give a chance. Tekking should do some vids on early or late 90s cartoons 👌🏾
Theory: One Piece = Rio Poneglyphs + Treasure + Something that can destroy Reverse Mountain.
I love this idea.
However I am of two minds here.
I can't wait to see the end. To have all the mysteries solved. That is one mind. I am hyped and excited.
But on the other hand, I am so insanely selfish. I don't want it to ever end. The journey, the world being explored and seen is so fascinating and amazing, the mystery, the wonder it is so magical. Oda truly captured the true meaning of romanticism, to such a degree, that if he was capable I would love to have him go forever, and only after decades truly finish and tell us everything.
The journey and the adventure is the most fun part. I agree with Luffy. In his shoes I would have done the same thing with Rayleigh. Had he told me anything, I would turn around and go home.
With how massive and far Oda's imagination can reach, I believe that he can make it possible, make one piece as something that only makes sense if you understand the heart and soul of the story.
"One Piece made me cry for a boat" = "One Piece made me excited over a bottle of sake"
Wow, I love this take on the one piece. Oda definitely has the brains to do this!
That’s the hope, to that people will wait to tell it so people can find out for themselves. But some stupid websites are gonna blare it all over the internet because they are jerks like that.
There it is you said it? The second season of making making spaghetti... First three episodes regular spaghetti spaghetti meatballs chicken spaghetti 🍝
I meant to say second season of making toast my spell checkers messed up!
I've had this mindset about one piece since I really got into it. Because I had tried to get into it many times and couldn't. And it wasn't until I saw stuff about wano that I was just like "ok how the heck does this goofy stretchy boy get to this". And it's almost the exact thing as the Nika fruit. Someone who doesn't know one piece would hear luffys fruit is the Nika fruit and be like "ok and?" But after catching up its like "OHHH OK AND NOW WHAT?!"
So I even have a theory that the fans have essentially predicted EVERYTHING but nothing at the same time. Because we are trying to make it match up to knowledge we know, and we don't know as much as a lot of characters most of the time. I once looked up what the answers to these questions were. And I found the journey that is being a fan of one piece. A while ago I made my mind up that no matter what the one piece is. It's been worth it to me.
Quail man theme music! I knew the music immediately but it wasn't until you mentioned Doug that it dawned on me!
Wow, weird Tekking is doing this today. Just a couple of hours ago I watched another video about this. It was first uploaded 2 weeks ago, though. But still! What are the odds?
I never thought about it like that. The people who get into one piece after it’s over are definitely going to have a harder time reading it with all the anticipation they are going to experience. Like tekking said, us reading it right now weekly, we don’t have the option to Google the answer of what the one piece is. Which I think is better, cause if you do that it might ruin your experience with the story. To the people who start one piece in 5-6 years when it’s over, try to have as much discipline and patience as possible and enjoy the story as people of the past have lol.
EXACTLY
I kind of agree with you tekking that it will not make sense to new readers. But I do think that if I know someone that is starting it and they ask me what the one piece is I could tell them and maybe just maybe we can see all the foreshadowing that Oda has put in the story and to some it could mak the story better
Thank you for making this video. I Share your sentiments.
What a coincidence of a random chapter Tekkijg choose that is kinda relevant to one part of the recent spoilers.
One Piece could be the Map/Compass of Dreams, the Will of D. might be the Will of Dawn or Will of Dreams when you wake up in the morning and realize your dream "smiling." By which people dreaming of the Sun God Nika, wishing for the sunrise in the morning after your dream. Like Devil Fruits being realized as they came from people's desires or dreams.
The One Piece is NOT a map. Or a compass. That'd be stupid, as you have to travel the whole world to find it anyway.
yeah stupid
Imagine having the middle name dream
Its the smiles we make along the way. You must always keep on dreaming ladies and gents. One Piece is living your life free and not letting the world bring you down
I love your videos, thanks Tekking!
that first point really hurts to think about, and I dont trust the internet to not spoil it beyond that point obviously. Im glad im in now and not after, for sure
I loved Doug. It started on Nickelodeon in in the early 90s. I'm surprised they didn't use that quail fact, Quail Man's powers of the quail.
In my opinion what makes the most sense, coming and going, is that the One Piece is is fact one piece of information, like a globe. So it’s easy to imagine something like that not making any sense within the context of the full story.
I agree with the idea that the One Piece is something weird and esoteric that you won't properly understand unless you read the whole story ahead of time, and it lines up with my theory about what it is:
I think the One Piece is a giant barrel of sake that needed to age exactly 800 years. It was brewed by Joy Boy, which was a pseudonym using the initials JB, his real name being Jaguar Binks. He was the ancestor of Saul (thus the giant straw hat in Marijoa) and the Binks from Binks' Sake. The point of the One Piece being a barrel of sake is that it represents a party, it represents all of the D families reuniting after 800 years and having a party together. I think the D stands for the name of Joy Boy's crew, and each crewmember took "D" into their name as a symbol of their camaraderie and a promise to come back together again in the future, similar to the Straw Hats writing the X on their arms at Alabasta.
That's the kind of weird obtuse storytelling that I hope the One Piece is, something that makes no sense to hear about it without reading the story ahead of time.
Will we ever see any Toriko videos. I picked up and read the whole series cause of hearing you talk about jiro in one of your videos, I absolutely loved it
Oddly enough it was this channel back in the spring of 2020 that got me to bight the bullet and finally watch One piece. I had been putting it off because my first look at one piece was when back when kidsdub was running the show and I thought one piece was just another dud but bleach was the shit but man I relies that I had been missing so much.
As someone who also does the "reading the last page of a book before starting from page 1" relatively consistently, and then there's the amount of anime and movies where I saw their conclusion before I got to watch it proper, like, ffs, the first episodes of Dragonball I saw as a kid on tv were GT before I got to start with the original... I don't think it'd be that difficult to write the One Piece so that you'd still be moved to read the entire story (or close to) even knowing the conclusion. Like, Naruto is a good example with this, even if you know that Naruto becomes the Hokage, you kinda want to know how he got there, what kinda struggles he had to surpass, stuff like that. I don't think it's that different when the goal is a material treasure, you'd want to know the significance of it. What WOULD be more difficult would be, as you mentioned Rayleigh implied, that its meaning changes depending on where you are in the story. Generally, I feel that'd require some "so is it a good or a bad thing?" kinda dynamic, basically like how the perception of what titans are in Attack on Titan switched multiple times throughout that series, where just knowing what they are wouldn't give you a good idea of it and would change how you perceive the leading actors. That... I feel is somewhat lacking in One Piece, our perspective is relatively consistent with "freedom good, pirates want freedom, but not all pirates are good, WG restricts freedom, but not all facettes of the WG are bad", so I don't think Oda could actually go for something like this, so I don't feel that's what Rayleigh meant. At best, there could be one big twist towards the end, but if that was the case, all you'd need to know is that one twist. So since he can't change the meaning of the One Piece, what he could do instead might be to change its *significance* and that's again where I'd bring up Attack on Titan since I'd say that was actually quite important towards its conclusion, a question like "is the existence of Titans necessary in the world?", we can see something similar in One Piece with the One Piece at first only being this treasure, that, while impressive as "the worlds greatest treasure", doesn't seem to be much more, but as we go on, we kinda learn the significance of it being the sign of the "king of the pirates" and the importance of that title, we learn about its relation to the Void Century, Joyboy and the World Government, we have theories about it being a plan to literally terraform the entire world of One Piece as we know it, in that sense, skipping directly to what the One Piece is without reading the story could maybe end up being something similar to just learning what Erens goal towards the end of Attack on Titan is.
In general, I think a story that can easily be skipped by reading its final page is a badly written story... or the reader has no sense for literature/fantasy, that's also an option. A story is after all not a scientific experiment where only the conclusion is generally important, as cliche as it is, in a story, to a certain degree, the journey should always be part of the goal.
Tekking, what’s if the One Piece is an ever changing thing, like for Roger it was Luffy’s story told through Joy Boy’s perspective, and when Luffy get’s there it tells the story of Joy Boy when he was initially around in the void century, but everyone who reads the story is told something completely different.
it's like seeking mr. eaten's name, except instead of Oda asking that nobody discuss ANYTHING past a certain point and only reveal cryptic hints, it only MAKES SENSE if you've gone through the whole adventure.
Well a summary for One Piece once it has ended could be: Condom boy turns out to be a happy accident goes on to use a phallic shaped object to Uranus to free willy. (Hopefully something funnier) but i think it's going to be relativly hard for new readers because it's going to be so meme worthy.
And yes there are already hints that i expect will blow our minds. Like the depiction of whales on the Alabasta temple.
The One Piece will be Oda saying he has access to the 4th dimension
I WAS curious about what you made for dinner .
Thank you Tekking 😂
Tekking spiting facts and blowing my mind like always ❤️
I have a feeling this video is going to age really really well.
If I ever have kids and they wanna read One Piece … if they ask me what it is imma just show them this video and tell them “don’t rush it kid, I waiting and the wait … it was definitely worth it.”
