Tekking is a staple in the one piece community. Dude is so goofy but is like a damn encyclopedia when it comes to one piece. Also Randy Troy is disgustingly underrated. They actually shouted out his Law in sword theory during the last Reverie and that got him some looks from people which is how i started watching him
I can't watch that guy because he sounds so stuck up. (Edit: Like, even his profile picture, now that I looked for his channel, is presumptuous...). Tekking seems more approachable.
Welcome to the world of One Piece theories, where we all pull out our (and each others') hair trying to guess what comes next! It's been a blast following your journey to this point!
Merphy talked a lot about Big Mom mirroring the idea of sake, but so does Kaido. Rather than using it to unite people like Joyboy, he uses sake to drown his sorrows after his failed attempt to become Joyboy.
Exactly. And if the one piece really is Sake to bring together all the races, Kaido and Big Mom just becomes way more significant as both carry a "key" to the one piece. Its crazy to think that they might've actually found the one piece if they successfully worked together. Imagine Kaido and Big Mom sharing sake that just gives chills.
I think Merphy hit on something quite interesting there, I think the four Emperors are supposed to represent different aspects of Luffy's character. kaido is a failed joyboy (inherited will), big mum is a failed version of Luffy's end goal, Blackbeard is a failed version of the path to the goal and I think whitebeard was a failed Pirate King ( by which I mean he was Pirate King in all but name) and I'm not sure for shanks yet. I will also admit I think the white beard part is a little shaky but I think it's interesting to think about it.
In the most genuine way possible I haven’t seen someone with tekkings level of enthusiasm and gusto since like 6th grade yugioh duels at lunch and that one kid who isn’t afraid to larp as Kaiba
Man... two things about Ohara's point about Enies' Lobby: 1. Merry said "I only wish I could have taken you *a little farther*. 2. Luffy, during the funeral, said: "They say it's cold and lonely *at the bottom of the sea*. So we will stay here with you the whole time." I, for one, look forward to crying in the shower when the gang arrives at Laughtale, and they find Luffy's "Special Seat" there.
Imagine luffy dying at laugh tale and one of his final words is "Zoro, nami, usopp, sanji, chopper, robin, franky, brook, jimbei, sunny....thank you.....Oi oi oi the crew of the king of the pirates don't cry haha.......ah merry, they say a king has a chair to sit on above everybody else. To the king of the pirates, no seat is better than our special seat right? :)........ " As he slowly falls deep into the sea right on the special seat......the Tale of the "King of the Pirates" Monkey D Luffy - LAUGH TALE
3 and a half hrs of One Piece videos in one sitting?! Sounds like an average day on TH-cam for me 🤣🤣 AMAZING job going through them all as first time reader they all have a LOT of info to go through! I think I may know more One Piece history than normal world history at this point😋 Don't worry about missing/forgetting things! In a story such as One Piece, we always feel like we're constantly discover things we didn't know before! That's what makes theorizing so fun and such a constant possible activity. Even the comment sections of these videos have takes that are fun and intriguing to read even if you wouldn't think that would happen! I also agree about not caring what the One Piece is overall which is exactly what makes the theory videos fun to watch. We all have our preferences for an ending but the journey TO the ending matters much more than the end. All in all I agree that Bink's sake is a HUGE connection to our answer and that some type "party" or unification of the races is in order for the goal of Joyboy, Roger, and Luffy to be achieved! Glad you're slowing starting to dip your toes into the HUGE pool that is the One Piece TH-cam community!☺
I really like the idea of the four emperors being here as exemples of "almost-joyboys". Kaido seemingly had expectations to fulfill that role but couldn't for some reason, Big Mom with her dreams of bringing everyone together, Whitebeard actually bringing people together but without any ambition towards the entire world. Shanks and Blackbeard are more mysterious for now, but it seems like Shanks set out to find the next Joyboy, while Blackbeard is the complete opposite of what Joyboy should be.
I really like this idea. Maybe Luffy is going to wind up fulfilling the dreams of all of the emperors (maybe even Blackbeard), if not exactly in the way they thought to achieve it.
@@Snoop_Dugg I’d say Blackbeard has a dream, it’s just that at the moment we might not know what it is, don’t forget his infamous speech about people’s dreams.
I have a micro-theory in my head about this! I think the Emperors saw some sort of prophecy about what it takes to be Joyboy and they followed it in their own way. Big Mom collecting people of all races for instance, but because they saw this prophecy they made assumptions about it. Luffy on the other hand refuses to acknowledge any advanced information like Zeffs log book and wants to experience the whole thing for himself which ultimately doesn't spoil the concept of Joyboy for him which allows him to truly become Joyboy. It's a vague theory but it's swirling around my head with all the other stuff and maybe someday it'll bump in to another idea that explains it better...

I like the bonus theory that Blackbeard’s devil fruit is an octopus zoan fruit. Octopi don’t sleep much, and they have three hearts. So theoretically BB could get 3 powers. Also BB’s jolly roger has 3 heads.
Considering Merphy's interest in books, themes, writing styles, etc, Mr. Morj's videos seems like a perfect recommendation for her. It's almost as if he talks in her language!
@@hhhfdsfs He didn't call her fake. He was saying every One Piece content creator including himself has to sugarcoat some stuff, because a lot of One Piece fans can't accept criticism on One Piece. If you really can't realise this, you're too naive. And this doesn't only apply in the One Piece community, it is like this in most communities. Stop trying to jumble up other people's words without context.
Crocodile was a women turned to a men by Ivankov. And there is one theorie from Mr. Morj some kind on why the next arc will be Elbaf and that is headcannon for me now for almost 3 years.
"Crocodile was a female who converted into a male by Ivankov" is possible. "Crocodile is Luffy's mom" is f__king dumb. Sorry, I don't usually say foul language. To anyone who says that dumb nonsense (yes, it's not even a theory, it's nonsense), please stop. You're not funny.
Artur's theory is made of multiple parts and in previous ones he argues that the reason why the Three Ancient weapons are so important is because one of them will bring the destruction of the Grand Line and the Calm Belts, uniting the world in One Piece and creating the All Blue. That's also why Shirley in Fishman Island predicted that Luffy will destroy the island, because destroying the Red Line would destroy it as well (since is right beneath it) but Luffy will use Noah and Shirahoshi's powers to take every Fishman to land, finally making us all live under the same sun, which was JoyBoy's promise to the first Mermaid Princess long ago. Ps:. Since Shirahoshi wasn't born the time Roger lived, he couldn't do this, this one of the reasons he arrived too early. Great video as always
@@MikeeYowee Apparently yeah, he's been working on it for a while and it has original parts and some are inspired by other theories, but as a whole, it's original as far as I know
@@manoel4078 The part about the destruction of the Red Line isn't; that's a famous theory that has existed for a good amount of time, originally posted on the Arlong Park forum
One Piece theories is what got me into the series. A weird pathway l, but can't say i regret it. Also a Tekking crossover ( in a way ), you love to see it. His One Piece Videos are always a joy to listen too.
Merphy you should check out Mr.Morj's The End Of One Piece (Solved) video. I haven't watched Tekking's video in full, but from the look of it that video will complement it well. It's definitely one of the most sound theories imo.
Out of all the theories about what the One Piece is, this by far is my favorite one and the one I buy the most. It makes the most sense thematically imo and it's a theory that has stood the test of time.
I don't know who does the subtitles for these videos, but they deserve a raise. I've laughed through the whole video reading the little comments they make about what Merphy is saying.
One Piece brings people together. Oda was able to realize the deepest themes of his story in a way that truly transcends what's simply written on a page. One Piece *will* go down in history as one of the greatest stories ever told.
"One of the wings." Viz said they made a mistake with the translation and its actually supposed to be "One of the wings," implying zoro to be the other wing.
Thing with Japanese being, if I remember the phrasing of that moment correctly, is that the same statement could also be "one of the wings of the pirate king" - as in, Sanji just being one of them. Which just opens up even more possibilities for what she meant with that.
@@IceAokiji303 I agree it opens up possibilities. After all, Robin is the one saying this. Two wings is merely a starter pack. Yeh, I know she only has two wings when they do "bloom" - nevertheless, each wing consists of fifty arms.
I love Luffy’s philosophy of not wanting to know until we get there, it’s awesome that you share the view and Randy Troy actually doesn’t care to know either that’s why his theory’s on Sword.
After remembering you caught up last week I was sad to think one piece Fridays wouldn’t happen today. What a surprise to see this video on my feed! Welcome to the theorising side of the fandom!
No matter how one disagree about Mr. Morj's recent opinions about the raid. I think's its criminal not to include him here. He makes the best theory videos. No one compares to how he weaves themes in his theories. Even tho I don't have extra money, I might just be a patreon member just to make Merph watch it.
Exactly. She would have enjoyed the way Morj deconstructs the story structure and analyzes the characters. It's sad her patreons went with info-dump theories instead.
@@puneetjeph556 yep. No idea why her Patreons didn't recommend Morj at the top. There's no info dumping in Morj's video. Its like a chill conversation where a friend tells you why One Piece is awesome while backing up every claim with stuff that you actually already seen/read on One Piece. He just focuses your perspective using the knowledge that you already know.
That and Cromom not being included. 4/5 theories were arguing the samething. I wish they were mixed a little bit. 1. About One Piece 2. Crocomom 3. Raid will fail 4. Law is sword 5. story analysis
I believe One Piece is Bink's Sake specifically as well. I've played a lot of JRPGs and other video games heavily influenced by Japanese culture and mythos, and Sake, often aged sake is frequently a recurring concept, even if they only use it in minor ways. Considering that as the series has progressed, Oda has dived more and more in to Japanese mythos specifically, it wouldn't surprise me. It would also explain why Roger was too early in a funny way. The sake hadn't aged enough yet! Considering the themes of ending sagas with a party, the idea that we would end the series with a party, with the one piece, with bink's sake is great to me. The first time Blackbeard and Luffy met, they disagreed over foods and drinks. :)
Hearing that the series brings the fans themselves together and Merphy has felt welcomed to our little part of the internet is probably our very own One Piece :)
One of my personal favourite One Piece theories is the Wano-Oars theory The idea is that the country of Wano was actually built by Oars or his ancestors and the evidence is that back in Thriller Bark Oars was called “The Continent Puller”, his race clearly come from Wano, based on the giant skull that is Onigashima and it probably being where Moriah got his corpse, and the actual layout of Wano and it’s regions makes it look more like a bunch of islands clustered together than just one island It’s one of those theories that will probably never be relevant or answered one or the other but just the fact that the story has enough breadcrumbs to suggest a history like that is really cool
I recommend you watch the theme analyses of Mr Morj - about the Dawn, why Luffy needs Blackbeard, the politics of One Piece world, the philosophy of One Piece world, etc. All of these are old ones, and are gems.
It is just sad to see that not a single one of Morj's theories (including the most infamous one) is listed here. From the way I saw from watching Murphy's videos, she appreciates seeing the themes of a story more than anything else and explaining the themes of One Piece is Morj's strong suit (whatever your opinion is on the raid failing). I still look forward to the day when I can hear her thoughts about the raid failing.
Yeah I figured he'd be an obvious recommendation her but I guess her patrons choosing process just landed elsewhere. Always happy to see Tekking mentioned at least lol
I came to post this exact thing. While everyone will try to dunk on Morj about the raid failing theory he has still called a bunch of other stuff correctly. But when I think about it, I actually would more so like to have her see one of Morj's arc analysis videos rather than a theory one. The Enis Lobby and Marineford Analysis are some of the best. None of the Op tubers I've watched really discuss One Piece like Morj.
eh, I don't really like Morj's videos, because I feel like his arguments are rarely solid and way too often he argues for things he wants to happen, not what the text suggests, will happen.
@@Krustenkaese92 nah fam, Morj gets very well the themes and how the narrative goes, even if i disagree in some points. His theories are good and have been correct cause he understands the narrative Oda writes.
One of my favorite theories has always been that the One Piece will somehow cause the redline to fall, destroying fishmen island, causing all of the seas to combine into "One Piece" and creating the "All Blue"
My favorite theory is that Blackbeard already has eaten a third devil fruit, but it was his first one which let him eat the other two. He ate an Octopus fruit or the kraken fruit which would also be complimented by the fact that the kraken is considered to be the biggest enemy of pirates in general and Blackbeard is Luffy's biggest rival. Also it would be a Zoan-devil fruit so completes the trio. Octopuses have three hearts...so if devil fruits have something to do with people's hearts then it allows him to eat 3 while others can only have 1. The fact that his jolly roger has 8 bones and 3 heads(8 tentacles and 3 hearts) and the darkness power can be seen as ink are some other things i like about this idea. Don't know who to credit for this theory cause i found it on floating about on reddit.
also octopuses can need little sleep + when they do they go into a zen like state where they react and sleep is achieve in short burst (30-40 mins) very easy for black beard to fit into his life and nobody be the wiser.
Laboon being able to bring us isn't a stretch. I mean technically, the All Blue is where all 4 seas are connected, Laugh Tale. All the fishes, mammals will probably be there. Also, all Strawhats are integral for them to get to Laugh Tale. As mentioned by Luffy repeatedly, every crew plays an essential role. The most essential member definitely is Robin. That's a steal and shorten their journey by a decade or so. Laugh Tale = Pirate King = All Blue = Strongest Swordsman = Bravest warrior of the sea = Best navigator and charting the islands = Best doctor in the world. Upon reaching Laugh Tale, all their dreams would have been fulfilled.
The Laboon theory is nice, what if there are bigger whales and that the biggest whale ate the one piece island then got stuck somewhere but the inside is painted to act in the same way that Krokus’s little spot was inside Laboon
I recommend Mr Morj's video "The End Of One Piece" Morj goes into his theories from a literary analysis view point he brings a lot of great ideas together. I hope you do more One Piece theory reactions
41:39 curiously there is an SBS I think where Oda says that when he writes One Piece he wants to leave pieces of info to appeal to the hardcore fans, while at the same time not alienating the more casual ones who just wanna enjoy the adventure without being overly critical
One piece is connected to All blue. The red line is devil fruit made. One piece is the planet when all 4 seas are connected and luffy united the world for a peaceful world.
Awesome to see you finally dip your toes into the theorycrafting community. I hope the following theories are on your list for the next episodes: 1.) *"The Inherited Will"* from Arlong Park Forums (reuploaded on TH-cam by GibaroAndSabana) - one of the greatest and oldest theories in the fandom, this was written all the way back in 2013 and is still completely plausible to this day. Tekking's theory and several others within the community have been based on the ideas that this theory laid out, that's how influential it is. 2.) *"Kaido's Road Poneglyph and The Real Headquarters"* by Marco One Piece Theorist - from the guy who proved with facts and logic that Kanjuro was the traitor like 6 months before the manga reveal, he made a very interesting prediction about a certain island that's completely flown over our heads this entire Wano saga. 3.) *"Blackbeard is an OCTOPUS, This Explains EVERYTHING"* by 333VIL - this guy's TH-cam channel is relatively new but he's started to get some attention in the community because of this theory and a couple of other good ones. 4.) *"Why the Fire Festival Will End in Failure"* by Mr. Morj - this theory has made Morj the most talked-about OPtuber in the community. He's already made 5 videos about this in the 3-year span that Wano Arc has been running, and the theory itself has ascended to meme status. Even now that we're reaching the finale of Luffy vs Kaido, people are still waiting on whether Morj will take a big L or a surprise W in the end.
Nice video Merphy. To add something about Sanji's flop in hairstyle: Sanji's eyebrows curve both to the right side of his face. After the timeskip we got the confirmation that his eyebrows weren't symmetrical (both spiraling outwards) but rather going towards the same side. His Germa siblings have exactly the opposite, their eyebrows go towards the left. What's the difference between them and Sanji? Sanji isn't augmented and he has his emotions. Now, in 1031 and 1034, when Sanji went through the transformation and his body changed we saw something: his eyebrow was now going to the left, just like his siblings! That made a lot of people notice some neat details: * Sanji's brothers (that means, not Reiju) have shown both eyes, with left-handed eyebrows. All of them have augmentations and no feelings. * Reiju has only show his left eye, just like Sanji post-timeskip, and she has the same left-handed eyebrow. But the sneaaaaky cover pages and panels seem to tease that her right eye isn't left-handed, but right handed. What's the difference between Reiju and his three brothers? She has augmentations, but she also has feelings. * Since Sanji body changed, we only saw his left eye now just like all the other Germa. But we didn't see his right eye to check if the eyebrow changed too. In a summary: If the eyebrow in the left side has the "augmentation" side, and the right eyebrow has the "feelings" side, it could literally be a visual confirmation about Sanji's and all his siblings potential changes and personalities. If Reiju does have his right eyebrow going outwards, and Oda went out of his way to invert Sanji's eyebrow after the Germa awakening, it's quite possible that Oda used a gag seeded on Little Garden (the first time that we knew that both his eyebrows went to the right), to represent personality and powers of Sanji and his Germa siblings.
Antoher thing I noticed upon re-watching whole cake is the scientist that calls Sanji an utter failure also says that whatever Sora took made the augmentations recede. I was blown away when I read this because it left the gap for what happened once he put on the raid suit and the augmentations were bolstered. Fucking Goda man.
I have watched loads of One Piece Theories, of all of them, I think Mr Morj and Joyboy Theories have the most convincing ideas. I agree with almost all of Morj's top Theories except the raid fail.
Mr morj is really good analyzing the underlying theme of one piece. I always found something new watching his video even though i watched one piece several times
I love that he seems to understand Oda's thought process and doesn't treat him like a super genius who would come up with crazy things being confirmed by chapter numbers. It's all about themes, Oda's writting style has always been like that
@@brunoxd151 exactly like merphy they are people who view themes and re occuring connections so it a real shame that mr morj is not in this video at all.
I adore that you said Sanji's dream could be critical to finding the One Piece, because there's a theory that the One Piece is the creation of the All Blue. I don't recall who originally came up with it, but it's been around for years and I personally subscribe to it. Seeing as the world is divided in four and destroying the Red Line would connect the oceans and make the world "One Piece" was just too good to me.
I've come to approaching theories as thought experiments more than anything. The Ohara video comes at you strong but it's easy to find where it cherry picks evidence and there are lots of holes you can poke in it when it comes to the way Oda actually writes on a structural and thematic level. But at the same time it's super impressive and there are a lot of good ideas in it. When it comes to crafting those ideas, though, in order to make something so audacious you have to accept that it's just one way to put together the pieces, and you can just as well rearrange the pieces into something completely different but equally impressive. That's the beauty of theory crafting. Rarely are they a good declaration of what *will* happen, but more usefully a love letter to what Oda has done and the possibilities that exist within this world. If you go back in time there are plenty of theories that piece together the pieces in very compelling ways but they end up completely wrong because it's just not what Oda was setting up in reality. But they're still fun, and usually theory crafters aren't trying to make an absolute prediction. Their own videos will contradict themselves because it's less about being consistent and more about the joy of thinking about One Piece and appreciating what Oda gives us (see CrocoMom). Library of Ohara is sort of the standout here. I think he's much more dedicated to determining how it will end definitively and you can tell because he's much less discriminate about the evidence used and he takes Oda's style and sensibilities into account more while making fewer leaps of faith. In my opinion his theory is the safest extrapolation of what Oda has provided to us whereas Ohara is more thought experiment and Tekking is more hypothetical. But all are fun and coexist fine as long as you don't get too sure about what Oda is going to do next.
I’m not a huge fan of Artur’s (LoO) theory crafting because he is so convinced he’s cracked the code that he doesn’t leave open the possibility that he could be wrong. And that idea that Luffy’s grand goal is to just throw the biggest, most bitchen party the world has ever seen will magically lead to world peace. It just doesn’t work for me 😬
@@unstoppableExodia that’s fair but I feel his approach is the most sensible regardless. I’m not 100% on board with everything, but I do like the party idea in general. Luffy didn’t set out to bring world peace. He set out to have fun and his motivation comes from who he is and the influences he had as a child. I don’t think it’s any coincidence that Oda ends major arcs with party scenes repeating ad nauseam. Whether or not having a massive party is his specific goal, we can be confident that the last conflict WILL end with the biggest party. Take into account that the world government currently segregates people both through a monopoly on violence and through the red line (which, whether man made or not seems likely to come down to open up travel and freedom. It also fits nicely with the potential role of pluton and the all blue and the island whales) and that One Piece has largely been a story about found family and friendship consistently exemplified through party and sharing of drink. It feels almost guaranteed that at the end of the series we’ll have a massive gathering of people brought together as one as the world opens up for the first time in 800 years. The party and Luffy’s dream is incidental. It complements the ending thematically and shows the impact of his will, but the party itself isn’t going to cause world peace. Rather, the dawn of the world which will happen inevitably during Luffy’s adventure and search to become the freest man will open up the possibility. The search for and discovery of the One Piece will lead to the dawn of the world. This has been essentially confirmed numerous times. Luffy’s just the one who’s going to do it because he has the necessary spirit, seemingly sharing the sensibilities of Joy Boy and Roger. We can even see Luffy’s sensibilities acting as a self fulfilling prophecy. To be the King of the Pirates is to be the man who is most free (how Luffy defined it). To be the King you must be able to travel around the world freely and attain that which nobody but the King has been able to- the One Piece. To throw a big ass party (if truly his goal) you need to be the most free and so the above requirements must be met. Meanwhile, Luffy’s desire for friendship, family, and camaraderie (nakama, if you will) has given him the tools necessary to do this while the approaches of other pirates fail. He has made friends with Robin, who can read the poneglyphs. Coby, who’s ambition is likely to take him to the top of the Marines and is a man who may play a pivotal role in transferring this force into the dawn. Shirahoshi and Momo, who we now know are required pieces to bring the dawn. Everybody in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet who will enable him to fight on a large scale. Fishman Island, Alabasta, Dressrosa, Wano, Whitebeard’s crew, several warlords. He’s building up this group of allies with key members who will ultimately be capable of bringing the dawn, and it’s all simply because of who Luffy is. There’s no strategy. He’s not researching what he needs. There’s no information network or coercion backing him up. It’s because of who Luffy is and that spirit which makes people want to follow him as Mihawk said. Luffy brings people together and he will ultimately reunite the world because of that. Does he need to have a secret goal which is to throw a party for all this to be true? No. But it fits.
@@ninuvids yeah I agree with much of what you said there. My disagreement with Artur’s belief that Luffy’s true goal to throw the biggest party the world has ever seen stems from the established pattern being that parties happen organically at the end of each arc once the tyrant has been defeated and that nobody on Luffy’s side has died. It would seem kinda redundant to me for Oda to make that Luffy’s goal when it would likely have happened anyway. It just seems like a one plus one equals eleven kinda logic. It seemed like his thought process was what’s something Luffy and roger could be mocked for saying when finishing the sentence “I’m gonna be .....”? What’s something Luffy loves to do? Party !! Hey that kinda fits both those things so that absolutely must be it. Couldn’t possibly be anything else such as “I’m gonna be king of the pirates” or “I’m gonna be the freest person in the world “ or “I’m gonna be the one to stop the tyrants” I always just assumed Luffy said he’ll be pirate king because that’s his catchphrase and it fits as something ace could tell Yamato not to laugh at given that he was at that time an unknown kid and for some upstart to claim that they’ll claim that huge prize that has eluded even the mightiest of pirates since Roger could definitely get a laugh from someone who doesn’t know Luffy and his potential. I get that theories aren’t really meant to be taken too seriously. They’re mainly just meant to be a bit of fun trying to guess what will happen based on what’s already known. I just wish someone could tell Artur that because he takes it and himself a little too seriously me thinks and regrettably that bugs me more than it probably should.
Now you gotta react to the absurd, off the wall, iconic One Piece theories: Zoro Kills Kaido, The Raid Will Fail, Crocodile is Luffy’s Mom, The One Piece is on the moon, Shanks is Evil, Gin is Greenbull, etc.
I was waiting for this deep dive into tinfoilhat territory for quite some time now, you surely didn't disappoint! Glad to see you keeping the long format, it's always the perfect treat for the weekend, thanks a lot!
Anyone willing to put themselves through 1000 chapters of anything deserves to be wholeheartedly welcomed into the fandom. I've said it before and I'll say it again, but welcome to the crew, nakama!
@@SlashWest same, but 4 out of 5 theories here were related to what the one piece is, and joyboy has great theories for ancient weapons, the grand line, dragon celestial dragons, imu etc, but he hasn't put in the effort to go all out in one theory to try to predict what the one piece is and to be honest, it is kind of overkill at this point. Hope he'd do more theories though, because his theories are more like food for though. His theories are a nice meal where you sit back and think about the meal and see, that everything worked together well and leaves you satisfied.
Just want to mention one really important point, to whoever subtitled this video, you are too damn funny and you have done a great job there 😂 I noticed them in Merphy's last one piece video and now I have to read your inline comments also for extra entertainment 😂 well done 👍🏻✌🏻
I'm really glad that you decided to do talk about Mark's theory. If stuck with me ever since I watched it when it first came out, especially the Bink's Sake part. It's great that you also added theories from Randy Troy and Tekking 101. They're among my favorite weekly One Piece content creators; and their love for the series is easily apparent.
What you said at the end about not caring to know what the One Piece is before reaching the end, that's me completely. That's why I don't really care so much for theories (that and the fact that for the 14ish years I've been reading OP week to week, I've seen soooooooooo many theories just be wrong. In a fun way, mind you, because the story surprises you!). I always love hearing your thoughts, so this was really interesting! But that bit at the end really resonated with me. OP has so much going on that is a story for all kinds of readers, and that's part of what makes it such a great manga.
I'm so glad you enjoyed these videos. If I were looking for more videos on not just theories but discussions on characters, places, devil fruits, ect., Tekking 101 posts multiple videos a week on all those and more. I'm glad you've enjoyed catching up with One Piece.
By far the most infamous theory is the raid failing by MrMorj. You shouldve watched that. Its really good and explains a lot of doubts people have right now. Also we will find out if its true any week now.
There's also this one other really interesting theory about the One Piece being (instructions towards) the destruction of the Red Line using the ancient weapons - a treasure of freedom for all, of connecting the people of the world. This would tie together some loose plot threads - it would bring the ancient weapons into an active relevant role (the necessity of which would explain Roger being too early as Shirahoshi wasn't born yet), it would be the creation of the All Blue, it would allow Brook and Laboon (who is facing Reverse Mountain) to meet each other specifically _face to face_ as they promised when parting (which isn't possible otherwise, there's no reverse waterfall from the New World up Reverse Mountain), it would also cause the destruction of Fishman Island (as Luffy was predicted to do) and could coincide very nicely with the fight against the World Government. Can't remember who presented this theory, would point you that way otherwise. Arthur does touch on this as well, but the version I've seen before had a different focus, - like a mention of how Sanji specifically is the only one Luffy bonded with over their specific dreams upon recruiting him, and that being fitting as they effectively have the same dream, One Piece would be the route to All Blue as well - and didn't mention the treasure being sake.
@@zackm681 Possible. I tried checking his theory playlist since I had a feeling it might be Morj, but didn't notice it. May have just missed it in there.
@@zackm681 Morj's "End of One Piece" theory is simply his expansion to one of the OG theories in the community: "The Inherited Will" from Arlong Park Forums. He even acknowledges it himself in his video.
The reason I love one-piece so much is this whole reason...you can literally theorize hundreds of stories from this one story....and every theory is convincingly its own story...
Many people didn't notice this but the correct reading for X Drake is "Diez" Drake (spanish word for 10). It is shown in the original japanese version of the manga. Also, people who watch the anime can notice this when characters say his name when he was first introduced. And his father's name was Diez Barrels. Love your videos! I have been following them since the first one. And thank you for making me love reading books again.
The theory mr Morj summarizes in his "The End Of One Piece" is an absolutely must watch for any one piece fan interested in theories and a great entrypoint for some pretty new to the theory landscape. It's not really his own theory but more of a well organized explenation of one of the best known and popular theories about the end of One Piece. In my opinion i cant think of a more epic and satisfying way for this story to go down and Highly suggest to check it out for anyone interested:)!
Honestly, the theory that Morj presented is far better than most of this (excluding Randy's one, maybe), it doesn't have many of the reaches that these have. Still, they all did a good job imo
You should definitely watch Mr Morj's video "the end of One piece (solved)". It is great theory, and actually opposes Ohara video, but I like them both anyways
I hope that the end of one piece will have the straw hats disband one by one, preferably in reverse order. A final moment between zoro and luffy would be crazy emotional
I like the Laboon theory and Sanji stuff. Part of my theory puts Blackbeard as the one who "steals the light" with his darkness power, and the reason the ancient kingdom fell could've been because of a split amongst the D. We see Roger and Garp (two D's on opposite sides) fighting Xebec another D. A little crackpot theory I have regarding Usopp and Elbaf, is that he'll get or make himself a powerful hammer. Another thing, Luffy doesn't drink. He refused when forming the fleet, he only did it once and that was during his childhood with Ace and Sabo to be united as brothers. (I've only watched the first theory just now)
These aren't theory videos but Mr Morj's essay-style video analysis of Water 7/Ennies Lobby and Marineford are the best 2 one piece community videos i've ever seen
Probably because she hasn't come across him yet. He doesn't seem as discoverable as the others. I just found him after watching TH-cam theories for like the last year and a half.
Yeah because the raid has totally failed…. I know he has made more theories than that, but dude has said it every 10 seconds and it’s just not happening
I really love seeing you slowly go insane throughout this video from all the theories. One Piece theories truly are a crazy rabbit hole to dive down. I also feel super vindicated that multiple youtubers arrived at the same conclusion I did about Sake.
So glad you're caught up and can discuss theories now! Oda's attention to detail, planning, and world building, are some of my favorite aspects of One Piece and really let people theorize wildly as his consistency with information and plot breadcrumbs make it possible to see some things ahead of time. My favorite theories that the fanbase had based on evidence Oda provided that turned out to be true were the "Sanji is a Prince" theory (based on stuff like him being from North Blue and having a rare blood type, etc) and the "Kanjuro is the traitor" theory (based on him eating with his right hand but painting with left in Dressrosa, plus more). Hilariously, the fanbase has been way off with theories sometimes too, either because Oda has something else cool planned, or sometimes just for it to be a red herring and joke. (So many people thought Duval was going to be a huge important plot callback only for him to be a gag on Sanji's wanted poster). I personally also like the ideas of All Blue being created from destroying the Red Line, Binks' Sake's "funny story" being Laugh Tale, and Luffy's dream to unite the world in a party. I am not sold on specific details of each theory and am totally open to being surprised, but they are all ideas I like. As for Sanji's eyebrows, another recent attention to detail thing Oda planted! When the time skip happened and Sanji's part changed sides, fans noticed that his eyebrow was still facing the same direction and were surprised because it meant Sanji's eyebrows both went same direction on each side (which was weird). But then in Whole Cake Island, we met his modified family and THEIR eyebrows went the opposite direction, which we thought was cool character design contrast and maybe had to do with him not being modified like them and matching their mom. BUT THEN, after Sanji started feeling like the Raid Suit had modified his body like his family, fans noticed that somepoint during the chapters where Sanji's body felt weird HIS EYEBROWS CHANGED DIRECTION TO MATCH HIS BROTHERS, signifying that his body was not modified like theirs. Oda's level of detail is insane and that's not even getting into the crazy background details and consistency he puts into each panel. It just gives people so much to discuss and theorize about.
I think she should watch Morj's analysis videos. Surprised none of morj's theories are on here for one piece analysis videos, i HIGHLY RECOMMEND Morj His videos "why Oda is underrated", "secret of one piece", and "the 2 real main characters of one piece" are good intros to Morj's videos imo Some of his best and longer vids are: "the DAWN of the world explained- one piece analysis", "why there is no fictional character like zoro", "why enies lobby is the peak of one piece", and "the philosophy of one piece".
Agree with you bro 💯 Joyboy & MrMorj theories got me into OP youtube theory I don't understand why Ohara's video got massive views......it was already dismantle & semi debunked by GL Review
Speaking of One Piece theories, your videos ended up leading to TH-cam recommending a channel called Grand Line Review to me, and on his secondary channel he did a video about what TH-camrs can learn from YOU! It was so cool to see and the comments were all people gushing over your content!
I recently found Dawn of the World and she has a few great ideas and videos, like the "Monkey Family" one a little while ago. Grand Line Review also has a great lense of the story and some awesome insights into how Oda draws his panels and story parallels.
I think what you said in the end is one of the reasons why i have loved seeing your journey with one piece so much. Most of the contect creators surrounding this series are theory-lenient, which is good, i really enjoy them, but that's made your own content such a breeze of fresh air for me as a fan of many years now (both of one piece and your channel hahaha).
I'm also one of those "ride the waves wherever Oda takes us" kind of readers but because I don't deeply analyzing or pick up subtle hints oda drops in his chapters I really enjoy watching theories, I recommend Mr Morj, Yude-ron, Randy Troy, Ohara the fox, and Vinland D Ragnar.
6:23 "I really love the idea, that the Merry-" You didn't even finish this phrase and I had to pause this while gasping VERY loudly and started crying!! I'll keep watching now but that... that just hit me!!
I'm so glad you reacted to Randy Troy's theory, he is my favorite One Piece TH-camr! He also has mentioned you on stream Merphy and wanted to collaborate with you once you caught up to the series by the way! He doesn't know how to reach you though 😅 But he is an amazing guy and is exceedingly knowledgeable about One Piece having been weekly for like 20+ years lol, so I think you two could have a great discussion! #SavagePirates Also it was definitely interesting and fun to head you talk about these theories (Also the other 4 TH-camrs theories you watched are amazing too and make great vidoes I don't mean to undermine them lol)
I cannot thank you enough for starting to read one piece and doing these videos. In all honesty I’ve tried and dropped one piece multiple times in the past but hearing your perspective and genuine analysis of the story as a work of literature.
I can’t imagine how it felt to watch all of these theories in one day! This video was really fun, so I’d love to see another similar video where you react to more theories.
She really should watch more or Mr. Morj and Randy Troy. They are good with thematic and narrative aspects of the story which I think plays well with her book analysis skills.
@@sfguzmani that’s too bad. I like Morj but he definitely comes across as elitist at times. I think she actually looks at things thematically which very few Onepiece people do since it’s just not common in shonen manga to have strong themes running through the story. Not saying there’s none in most shonen but the themes are so deep and fleshed out in Onepiece
One of the most important reason that your one-piece videos are so welcoming among the one piece fandom in my opinion is that you remind us of ourselves when we started to read or watch it. It reminds the fresh excitement when we began this great adventure. Glad you enjoy it as well
Great work on the entire one piece coverage Merphy it was a blast to watch you experience it all. Also watching this video with subtitles on made it so much funnier. Nice touch.
It would be great to see a follow up to this video but about some of the more small-scale theories. Things like CrocoMom, Makino's baby, Blackbeard's multiple devil fruits. Longrunning theories that most One Piece fans have heard about but are not necessarily such large scale, 1 hour video topics on their own. A whole plethora could be included in one of these reaction videos.
If you want what I believe is the best One Piece theory overall, check out Mr Morj’s “The End of One Piece (Solved)” It makes so much sense it almost feels like a spoiler.
@@neuldjaan2655 I agree, it's one of the most OG theories that I can remember. I feel like it was so prevalent on youtube many years ago, although that might be the Mandela effect.
This was a great video. Love seeing you get more in tune with the One Piece community. Also, Randy Troy has talked about possibly doing a collab with you. He has a series where he's talks with other OP youtubers
the all blue part is really intriguing to me. if you made the rough sketch of the one piece planet (yes, planet), you'll see that all blue is impossible to already exist. the only time the waters of all the blues met were at the peak of Reverse Mountain and waters of Fishman Island (if they count). So, the only way to make All Blue possible is to create it. This is where "The Destruction of The Red Line" theory comes in and I actually prefer this theory. The destruction of the whole Red Line is kind of too much so there are alternatives like destroying only Reverse Mountain and Mary Jois. Destroying those spots specifically made more sense since the two had pretty much affects people negatively. Reverse Mountain with Brook and Laboon and Mary Jois as the holy land of the celestial dragons and the center of the world government. Mr Morj actually have an in depth theory about this (maybe need to watch some of his other theories too) about why Destroying the red line (specifically those 2 spots) is required and why it is the one piece.
Plus, destroying the Red Line at Marejois would almost certainly cause the destruction of Fishman Island, which is sitting right beneath that spot, explaining both what the Noah had been created for (Evacuating the Fishmen when Joyboy triggered whatever was supposed to do this) and also fulfill the prophecy that Luffy would destroy Fishman Island.
I absolutely lose my mind over the "X Marks the Spot" aspect of this theory. Every One Piece map we've seen looks kind of like an XY axis, with the Grand Line going left to right - but isn't it strange how the North Blue isn't really depicted as northern, and the South Blue isn't really depicted as southern? It's almost like the axis of the map is wrong. If we rotate the map 45 degrees, putting the North Blue in the North and the South Blue in the South: two X's span the entire planet, with Fishman Island/Mariejois and Reverse Mountain at the centers. I LOVE IT.
@@kristinberthiaume7634 You are right about the rotation, the few times we've seen a globe of the world it's made clear that yes, the Red Line/Grand Line are shifted from what they look like on a flat map. Don't think it's quite 45 degrees, but it is enough to be very clear. As to X marks the spot, we already have the made explicit it's going to happen. The Road Poneglyphs. Each one lays out a specific location, once you have all four you draw two lines connecting the two points across from each other, and where they cross is Laughtale. X will mark the spot.
In tekking's theory that the one piece is a philosophical dilemma, my mind always assumed that Blackbeard would be the one to swoop in and make the decision of the Ends justify the means.
Great video! I suggest reading and then reacting to the "Return to the Reverie" fanmade chapters. It's not only a very elaborate theory but it's also applied for real and even though it felt like fan service at times it was really interesting to read.
You should watch Ohara's characters analysis!!! Matt Owens, the screenwriter of the One Piece live action series has shared with his team to help them understand the characters better
Can’t wait for Merphy to discuss the depth of the CrocMom theory.
The Greatest Theory up there with THE RAID WILL FAIL
I had to look up what that is and I kind of regret it now.
I would die laughing seeing her reaction to that theory
oh god thats going be great
@@nevergonnagiveupuntilibeco5690 thats just a BS theory.
Tekking is a staple in the one piece community. Dude is so goofy but is like a damn encyclopedia when it comes to one piece. Also Randy Troy is disgustingly underrated. They actually shouted out his Law in sword theory during the last Reverie and that got him some looks from people which is how i started watching him
I got to know Randy Troy on the last Reverie and man he was putting out good stuff, he was definitely one of the best ones
Randy is crazy good
I can't watch that guy because he sounds so stuck up. (Edit: Like, even his profile picture, now that I looked for his channel, is presumptuous...). Tekking seems more approachable.
@@TheHermesLP nahh you really have to give Randy a try, it's really fun over there, especially the community
Randy Troy is certified drippin' when it comes to theories
Randy is one of the best in the one piece community, so glad I found him when I did
Welcome to the world of One Piece theories, where we all pull out our (and each others') hair trying to guess what comes next! It's been a blast following your journey to this point!
And nobody's theories become true. But who cares, its fun after all.
@@haleyalitz9976 I guess the Sabo is not dead theory became true
@@sauloAndrioli not really a theory right? It was kinda clear
@@haleyalitz9976 That's why people call the author as GOda, because we keep trying to know what he'll do next only to end up wrong.
@@sauloAndrioli I already knew Sabo isn't dead. The only question was when he'll gonna come back.
Merphy talked a lot about Big Mom mirroring the idea of sake, but so does Kaido. Rather than using it to unite people like Joyboy, he uses sake to drown his sorrows after his failed attempt to become Joyboy.
Exactly. And if the one piece really is Sake to bring together all the races, Kaido and Big Mom just becomes way more significant as both carry a "key" to the one piece. Its crazy to think that they might've actually found the one piece if they successfully worked together. Imagine Kaido and Big Mom sharing sake that just gives chills.
@@velvet5749
teh one piece isn't sake...this is bs theory with all my respect..
Meanwhile Blackbeard hated the Sake and stuck to the Cherry Pies.
I think Merphy hit on something quite interesting there, I think the four Emperors are supposed to represent different aspects of Luffy's character. kaido is a failed joyboy (inherited will), big mum is a failed version of Luffy's end goal, Blackbeard is a failed version of the path to the goal and I think whitebeard was a failed Pirate King ( by which I mean he was Pirate King in all but name) and I'm not sure for shanks yet. I will also admit I think the white beard part is a little shaky but I think it's interesting to think about it.
When kaido tries to become joyboy?
i aspire to be as unapologetically energetic as tekking I adore that man.
He's also very nice aside from his TH-cam "personality"
I love Tekking
It’s the power of the Cringe Cringe Fruit man
@@jonasquinn7977 hes cringe but man he has heart
In the most genuine way possible I haven’t seen someone with tekkings level of enthusiasm and gusto since like 6th grade yugioh duels at lunch and that one kid who isn’t afraid to larp as Kaiba
Man... two things about Ohara's point about Enies' Lobby:
1. Merry said "I only wish I could have taken you *a little farther*.
2. Luffy, during the funeral, said: "They say it's cold and lonely *at the bottom of the sea*. So we will stay here with you the whole time."
I, for one, look forward to crying in the shower when the gang arrives at Laughtale, and they find Luffy's "Special Seat" there.
This just makes me think Laboon is their final ship, with Luffy's "special seat" inside.
Isn't the "special seat" ripped off by Franky and put on his mini boat?

3 and a half hrs of One Piece videos in one sitting?! Sounds like an average day on TH-cam for me 🤣🤣
AMAZING job going through them all as first time reader they all have a LOT of info to go through! I think I may know more One Piece history than normal world history at this point😋
Don't worry about missing/forgetting things! In a story such as One Piece, we always feel like we're constantly discover things we didn't know before! That's what makes theorizing so fun and such a constant possible activity. Even the comment sections of these videos have takes that are fun and intriguing to read even if you wouldn't think that would happen!
I also agree about not caring what the One Piece is overall which is exactly what makes the theory videos fun to watch. We all have our preferences for an ending but the journey TO the ending matters much more than the end. All in all I agree that Bink's sake is a HUGE connection to our answer and that some type "party" or unification of the races is in order for the goal of Joyboy, Roger, and Luffy to be achieved!
Glad you're slowing starting to dip your toes into the HUGE pool that is the One Piece TH-cam community!☺
Lol right! I've watched all of these multiple times lol
She should react to mr morj. One of the best one piece reviewers and themes analyzers
@@backoff8062 Yes, too bad she didn't watch the best of them
Sawyer7mage is one of the best OP youtubers out there. He's like Shanks of the One Piece community
@@backoff8062 true, morj is goated
I really like the idea of the four emperors being here as exemples of "almost-joyboys". Kaido seemingly had expectations to fulfill that role but couldn't for some reason, Big Mom with her dreams of bringing everyone together, Whitebeard actually bringing people together but without any ambition towards the entire world. Shanks and Blackbeard are more mysterious for now, but it seems like Shanks set out to find the next Joyboy, while Blackbeard is the complete opposite of what Joyboy should be.
I really like this idea. Maybe Luffy is going to wind up fulfilling the dreams of all of the emperors (maybe even Blackbeard), if not exactly in the way they thought to achieve it.
Shanks is like a peacemaker but doesn't bring everyone together. Blackbeard is ambition and power but no dreams of peace and unity.
@@Snoop_Dugg I’d say Blackbeard has a dream, it’s just that at the moment we might not know what it is, don’t forget his infamous speech about people’s dreams.
after the chapter of god valley/the epic bounty reveal of yonkos and gol d roger, blackbeard really walk the Rocks D Xebec path
I have a micro-theory in my head about this! I think the Emperors saw some sort of prophecy about what it takes to be Joyboy and they followed it in their own way. Big Mom collecting people of all races for instance, but because they saw this prophecy they made assumptions about it. Luffy on the other hand refuses to acknowledge any advanced information like Zeffs log book and wants to experience the whole thing for himself which ultimately doesn't spoil the concept of Joyboy for him which allows him to truly become Joyboy. It's a vague theory but it's swirling around my head with all the other stuff and maybe someday it'll bump in to another idea that explains it better...

I like the bonus theory that Blackbeard’s devil fruit is an octopus zoan fruit. Octopi don’t sleep much, and they have three hearts. So theoretically BB could get 3 powers. Also BB’s jolly roger has 3 heads.
Considering Merphy's interest in books, themes, writing styles, etc, Mr. Morj's videos seems like a perfect recommendation for her. It's almost as if he talks in her language!
He called merphy fake in his 1040 discussion live stream.
@@hhhfdsfs wut? Any link?
@@hhhfdsfs He didn't call her fake. He was saying every One Piece content creator including himself has to sugarcoat some stuff, because a lot of One Piece fans can't accept criticism on One Piece. If you really can't realise this, you're too naive. And this doesn't only apply in the One Piece community, it is like this in most communities. Stop trying to jumble up other people's words without context.
bump
@@hhhfdsfs Why are you spreading lies? Stop trying to drum up conflict.
Crocodile was a women turned to a men by Ivankov.
And there is one theorie from Mr. Morj some kind on why the next arc will be Elbaf and that is headcannon for me now for almost 3 years.
"Crocodile was a female who converted into a male by Ivankov" is possible.
"Crocodile is Luffy's mom" is f__king dumb.
Sorry, I don't usually say foul language.
To anyone who says that dumb nonsense (yes, it's not even a theory, it's nonsense), please stop. You're not funny.
@@tresnonugroho6397 fuck man, I don't whole heartedly refute the thoery cause imagine it's true. Oh man oh man
Artur's theory is made of multiple parts and in previous ones he argues that the reason why the Three Ancient weapons are so important is because one of them will bring the destruction of the Grand Line and the Calm Belts, uniting the world in One Piece and creating the All Blue.
That's also why Shirley in Fishman Island predicted that Luffy will destroy the island, because destroying the Red Line would destroy it as well (since is right beneath it) but Luffy will use Noah and Shirahoshi's powers to take every Fishman to land, finally making us all live under the same sun, which was JoyBoy's promise to the first Mermaid Princess long ago.
Ps:. Since Shirahoshi wasn't born the time Roger lived, he couldn't do this, this one of the reasons he arrived too early.
Great video as always
Yes but I guess watching the entire 8 hours of the theory playlist might have been a little too much for her😭
Is that really his theory though?
@@MikeeYowee Apparently yeah, he's been working on it for a while and it has original parts and some are inspired by other theories, but as a whole, it's original as far as I know
@@asap4bri Fr it would be a chore to do, that's why I thought it would help if I told her at least about the All Blue that she mentioned
@@manoel4078 The part about the destruction of the Red Line isn't; that's a famous theory that has existed for a good amount of time, originally posted on the Arlong Park forum
Mr Morj makes some amazing One Piece theories
Man has been a meme since the wano 5 act theory, and that the raid would fail.
One Piece theories is what got me into the series. A weird pathway l, but can't say i regret it.
Also a Tekking crossover ( in a way ), you love to see it. His One Piece Videos are always a joy to listen too.
Merphy you should check out Mr.Morj's The End Of One Piece (Solved) video. I haven't watched Tekking's video in full, but from the look of it that video will complement it well. It's definitely one of the most sound theories imo.
Out of all the theories about what the One Piece is, this by far is my favorite one and the one I buy the most. It makes the most sense thematically imo and it's a theory that has stood the test of time.
Completely agree, hope she reacts to it
If she checks it out do you think she’s gonna make a video about it
Seems like her patreon is biased against Morj.
@@puneetjeph556 what makes you say that?
I don't know who does the subtitles for these videos, but they deserve a raise. I've laughed through the whole video reading the little comments they make about what Merphy is saying.
seeing one piece theories made me appreciate Oda even more. Like, his writing is GENIUS
A lot of these theories are massive stretches though.
@@YourBlackLocal most theories are I find. Especially one piece or like dragon ball z
One Piece brings people together. Oda was able to realize the deepest themes of his story in a way that truly transcends what's simply written on a page. One Piece *will* go down in history as one of the greatest stories ever told.
Also on Sanji's importance: When Robin saved him from Black Maria she mentions that Sanji will be "The wings of the pirate king". Pretty interesting.
"One of the wings." Viz said they made a mistake with the translation and its actually supposed to be "One of the wings," implying zoro to be the other wing.
One of the wings. Zoro and Sanji complete the role of a leader in a sense. They also both big stronk bois.
Thing with Japanese being, if I remember the phrasing of that moment correctly, is that the same statement could also be "one of the wings of the pirate king" - as in, Sanji just being one of them. Which just opens up even more possibilities for what she meant with that.
@@IceAokiji303 I agree it opens up possibilities. After all, Robin is the one saying this. Two wings is merely a starter pack. Yeh, I know she only has two wings when they do "bloom" - nevertheless, each wing consists of fifty arms.
I love Luffy’s philosophy of not wanting to know until we get there, it’s awesome that you share the view and Randy Troy actually doesn’t care to know either that’s why his theory’s on Sword.
After remembering you caught up last week I was sad to think one piece Fridays wouldn’t happen today. What a surprise to see this video on my feed! Welcome to the theorising side of the fandom!
There's a video where Murphy said she'll be doing one piece content like this on Fridays and reviewing chapters on oda off week
No matter how one disagree about Mr. Morj's recent opinions about the raid. I think's its criminal not to include him here.
He makes the best theory videos. No one compares to how he weaves themes in his theories.
Even tho I don't have extra money, I might just be a patreon member just to make Merph watch it.
Exactly. She would have enjoyed the way Morj deconstructs the story structure and analyzes the characters. It's sad her patreons went with info-dump theories instead.
@@puneetjeph556 yep. No idea why her Patreons didn't recommend Morj at the top. There's no info dumping in Morj's video. Its like a chill conversation where a friend tells you why One Piece is awesome while backing up every claim with stuff that you actually already seen/read on One Piece.
He just focuses your perspective using the knowledge that you already know.
That and Cromom not being included. 4/5 theories were arguing the samething. I wish they were mixed a little bit.
1. About One Piece
2. Crocomom
3. Raid will fail
4. Law is sword
5. story analysis
I believe One Piece is Bink's Sake specifically as well. I've played a lot of JRPGs and other video games heavily influenced by Japanese culture and mythos, and Sake, often aged sake is frequently a recurring concept, even if they only use it in minor ways. Considering that as the series has progressed, Oda has dived more and more in to Japanese mythos specifically, it wouldn't surprise me.
It would also explain why Roger was too early in a funny way. The sake hadn't aged enough yet! Considering the themes of ending sagas with a party, the idea that we would end the series with a party, with the one piece, with bink's sake is great to me.
The first time Blackbeard and Luffy met, they disagreed over foods and drinks. :)
That fits with the whole “Laugh Tale” idea where they laugh at the end.
Hearing that the series brings the fans themselves together and Merphy has felt welcomed to our little part of the internet is probably our very own One Piece :)
One of my personal favourite One Piece theories is the Wano-Oars theory
The idea is that the country of Wano was actually built by Oars or his ancestors and the evidence is that back in Thriller Bark Oars was called “The Continent Puller”, his race clearly come from Wano, based on the giant skull that is Onigashima and it probably being where Moriah got his corpse, and the actual layout of Wano and it’s regions makes it look more like a bunch of islands clustered together than just one island
It’s one of those theories that will probably never be relevant or answered one or the other but just the fact that the story has enough breadcrumbs to suggest a history like that is really cool
Also the Numbers are all giants with horns and fangs, so they are probably ancient giants like Oars.
@@mc_ace8075 It's been said that the numbers are "failed" experiments from Punk Hazard.
The Numbers are, "artificially produced ancient giants. Originally created on Punk Hazard."
wano is up there with skypiea in terms of worldbuilding
Didn’t moria say he got oars corpse from the Ice continent
I recommend you watch the theme analyses of Mr Morj - about the Dawn, why Luffy needs Blackbeard, the politics of One Piece world, the philosophy of One Piece world, etc.
All of these are old ones, and are gems.
It is just sad to see that not a single one of Morj's theories (including the most infamous one) is listed here. From the way I saw from watching Murphy's videos, she appreciates seeing the themes of a story more than anything else and explaining the themes of One Piece is Morj's strong suit (whatever your opinion is on the raid failing). I still look forward to the day when I can hear her thoughts about the raid failing.
those Morj's videos are more like analysis than theories, so it's no surprising that they weren't included here
Yeah I figured he'd be an obvious recommendation her but I guess her patrons choosing process just landed elsewhere. Always happy to see Tekking mentioned at least lol
I came to post this exact thing. While everyone will try to dunk on Morj about the raid failing theory he has still called a bunch of other stuff correctly. But when I think about it, I actually would more so like to have her see one of Morj's arc analysis videos rather than a theory one. The Enis Lobby and Marineford Analysis are some of the best. None of the Op tubers I've watched really discuss One Piece like Morj.
eh, I don't really like Morj's videos, because I feel like his arguments are rarely solid and way too often he argues for things he wants to happen, not what the text suggests, will happen.
@@Krustenkaese92 nah fam, Morj gets very well the themes and how the narrative goes, even if i disagree in some points. His theories are good and have been correct cause he understands the narrative Oda writes.
Frankly in my opinion, best one is Mr. Morj theory. It connects each strawhats dream. You should check it out.
One of my favorite theories has always been that the One Piece will somehow cause the redline to fall, destroying fishmen island, causing all of the seas to combine into "One Piece" and creating the "All Blue"
I want a panel of Sanji on the moon, looking at the united planet, lighting a cig and realizing the planet is 'all blue'
My favorite theory is that Blackbeard already has eaten a third devil fruit, but it was his first one which let him eat the other two. He ate an Octopus fruit or the kraken fruit which would also be complimented by the fact that the kraken is considered to be the biggest enemy of pirates in general and Blackbeard is Luffy's biggest rival. Also it would be a Zoan-devil fruit so completes the trio. Octopuses have three hearts...so if devil fruits have something to do with people's hearts then it allows him to eat 3 while others can only have 1. The fact that his jolly roger has 8 bones and 3 heads(8 tentacles and 3 hearts) and the darkness power can be seen as ink are some other things i like about this idea.
Don't know who to credit for this theory cause i found it on floating about on reddit.
Ayyy, great that you didn’t take credit to it for yourself
Also it’s a great theory
Neat theory.
also octopuses can need little sleep + when they do they go into a zen like state where they react and sleep is achieve in short burst (30-40 mins) very easy for black beard to fit into his life and nobody be the wiser.
It's 333vil's theory
Laboon being able to bring us isn't a stretch. I mean technically, the All Blue is where all 4 seas are connected, Laugh Tale. All the fishes, mammals will probably be there. Also, all Strawhats are integral for them to get to Laugh Tale. As mentioned by Luffy repeatedly, every crew plays an essential role. The most essential member definitely is Robin. That's a steal and shorten their journey by a decade or so.
Laugh Tale = Pirate King = All Blue = Strongest Swordsman = Bravest warrior of the sea = Best navigator and charting the islands = Best doctor in the world. Upon reaching Laugh Tale, all their dreams would have been fulfilled.
Not to mention all the whale imagery that's connected to the One Piece! i.e. Zou's Whale Tree
90% of those videos are a constant stretch😆
The Laboon theory is nice, what if there are bigger whales and that the biggest whale ate the one piece island then got stuck somewhere but the inside is painted to act in the same way that Krokus’s little spot was inside Laboon
I recommend Mr Morj's video "The End Of One Piece"
Morj goes into his theories from a literary analysis view point he brings a lot of great ideas together.
I hope you do more One Piece theory reactions
41:39 curiously there is an SBS I think where Oda says that when he writes One Piece he wants to leave pieces of info to appeal to the hardcore fans, while at the same time not alienating the more casual ones who just wanna enjoy the adventure without being overly critical
Can't wait for Merphy to get to the Croc Mom theory and the oil fruit theory. They're so absurd, it would be fun.
One piece is connected to All blue. The red line is devil fruit made. One piece is the planet when all 4 seas are connected and luffy united the world for a peaceful world.
Awesome to see you finally dip your toes into the theorycrafting community. I hope the following theories are on your list for the next episodes:
1.) *"The Inherited Will"* from Arlong Park Forums (reuploaded on TH-cam by GibaroAndSabana) - one of the greatest and oldest theories in the fandom, this was written all the way back in 2013 and is still completely plausible to this day. Tekking's theory and several others within the community have been based on the ideas that this theory laid out, that's how influential it is.
2.) *"Kaido's Road Poneglyph and The Real Headquarters"* by Marco One Piece Theorist - from the guy who proved with facts and logic that Kanjuro was the traitor like 6 months before the manga reveal, he made a very interesting prediction about a certain island that's completely flown over our heads this entire Wano saga.
3.) *"Blackbeard is an OCTOPUS, This Explains EVERYTHING"* by 333VIL - this guy's TH-cam channel is relatively new but he's started to get some attention in the community because of this theory and a couple of other good ones.
4.) *"Why the Fire Festival Will End in Failure"* by Mr. Morj - this theory has made Morj the most talked-about OPtuber in the community. He's already made 5 videos about this in the 3-year span that Wano Arc has been running, and the theory itself has ascended to meme status. Even now that we're reaching the finale of Luffy vs Kaido, people are still waiting on whether Morj will take a big L or a surprise W in the end.
good list
Agree with all of these. The first one is ICONIC and the raid fail theory has been the biggest talking point in the OP fandom over the last 2 years
So disappointed nobody recommended her the inherited will theory. It’s the most popular and respected theory in the One Piece community.
Inherited will theory is basically the general head canon of most fans who are into theories. A bit disappointed that it wasn’t in this video.
Nice video Merphy. To add something about Sanji's flop in hairstyle:
Sanji's eyebrows curve both to the right side of his face. After the timeskip we got the confirmation that his eyebrows weren't symmetrical (both spiraling outwards) but rather going towards the same side. His Germa siblings have exactly the opposite, their eyebrows go towards the left. What's the difference between them and Sanji? Sanji isn't augmented and he has his emotions. Now, in 1031 and 1034, when Sanji went through the transformation and his body changed we saw something: his eyebrow was now going to the left, just like his siblings!
That made a lot of people notice some neat details:
* Sanji's brothers (that means, not Reiju) have shown both eyes, with left-handed eyebrows. All of them have augmentations and no feelings.
* Reiju has only show his left eye, just like Sanji post-timeskip, and she has the same left-handed eyebrow. But the sneaaaaky cover pages and panels seem to tease that her right eye isn't left-handed, but right handed. What's the difference between Reiju and his three brothers? She has augmentations, but she also has feelings.
* Since Sanji body changed, we only saw his left eye now just like all the other Germa. But we didn't see his right eye to check if the eyebrow changed too.
In a summary: If the eyebrow in the left side has the "augmentation" side, and the right eyebrow has the "feelings" side, it could literally be a visual confirmation about Sanji's and all his siblings potential changes and personalities. If Reiju does have his right eyebrow going outwards, and Oda went out of his way to invert Sanji's eyebrow after the Germa awakening, it's quite possible that Oda used a gag seeded on Little Garden (the first time that we knew that both his eyebrows went to the right), to represent personality and powers of Sanji and his Germa siblings.
Antoher thing I noticed upon re-watching whole cake is the scientist that calls Sanji an utter failure also says that whatever Sora took made the augmentations recede. I was blown away when I read this because it left the gap for what happened once he put on the raid suit and the augmentations were bolstered. Fucking Goda man.
I have watched loads of One Piece Theories, of all of them, I think Mr Morj and Joyboy Theories have the most convincing ideas.
I agree with almost all of Morj's top Theories except the raid fail.
Mr morj is really good analyzing the underlying theme of one piece. I always found something new watching his video even though i watched one piece several times
I love that he seems to understand Oda's thought process and doesn't treat him like a super genius who would come up with crazy things being confirmed by chapter numbers. It's all about themes, Oda's writting style has always been like that
@@brunoxd151 exactly like merphy they are people who view themes and re occuring connections so it a real shame that mr morj is not in this video at all.
I adore that you said Sanji's dream could be critical to finding the One Piece, because there's a theory that the One Piece is the creation of the All Blue. I don't recall who originally came up with it, but it's been around for years and I personally subscribe to it. Seeing as the world is divided in four and destroying the Red Line would connect the oceans and make the world "One Piece" was just too good to me.
I've come to approaching theories as thought experiments more than anything. The Ohara video comes at you strong but it's easy to find where it cherry picks evidence and there are lots of holes you can poke in it when it comes to the way Oda actually writes on a structural and thematic level. But at the same time it's super impressive and there are a lot of good ideas in it. When it comes to crafting those ideas, though, in order to make something so audacious you have to accept that it's just one way to put together the pieces, and you can just as well rearrange the pieces into something completely different but equally impressive. That's the beauty of theory crafting. Rarely are they a good declaration of what *will* happen, but more usefully a love letter to what Oda has done and the possibilities that exist within this world. If you go back in time there are plenty of theories that piece together the pieces in very compelling ways but they end up completely wrong because it's just not what Oda was setting up in reality. But they're still fun, and usually theory crafters aren't trying to make an absolute prediction. Their own videos will contradict themselves because it's less about being consistent and more about the joy of thinking about One Piece and appreciating what Oda gives us (see CrocoMom). Library of Ohara is sort of the standout here. I think he's much more dedicated to determining how it will end definitively and you can tell because he's much less discriminate about the evidence used and he takes Oda's style and sensibilities into account more while making fewer leaps of faith. In my opinion his theory is the safest extrapolation of what Oda has provided to us whereas Ohara is more thought experiment and Tekking is more hypothetical. But all are fun and coexist fine as long as you don't get too sure about what Oda is going to do next.
Ohara's theories are fascinating because you can analyze how conspiracy theories are made.
I’m not a huge fan of Artur’s (LoO) theory crafting because he is so convinced he’s cracked the code that he doesn’t leave open the possibility that he could be wrong. And that idea that Luffy’s grand goal is to just throw the biggest, most bitchen party the world has ever seen will magically lead to world peace. It just doesn’t work for me 😬
@@dav87x pretty much
@@unstoppableExodia that’s fair but I feel his approach is the most sensible regardless. I’m not 100% on board with everything, but I do like the party idea in general. Luffy didn’t set out to bring world peace. He set out to have fun and his motivation comes from who he is and the influences he had as a child. I don’t think it’s any coincidence that Oda ends major arcs with party scenes repeating ad nauseam. Whether or not having a massive party is his specific goal, we can be confident that the last conflict WILL end with the biggest party. Take into account that the world government currently segregates people both through a monopoly on violence and through the red line (which, whether man made or not seems likely to come down to open up travel and freedom. It also fits nicely with the potential role of pluton and the all blue and the island whales) and that One Piece has largely been a story about found family and friendship consistently exemplified through party and sharing of drink. It feels almost guaranteed that at the end of the series we’ll have a massive gathering of people brought together as one as the world opens up for the first time in 800 years. The party and Luffy’s dream is incidental. It complements the ending thematically and shows the impact of his will, but the party itself isn’t going to cause world peace. Rather, the dawn of the world which will happen inevitably during Luffy’s adventure and search to become the freest man will open up the possibility. The search for and discovery of the One Piece will lead to the dawn of the world. This has been essentially confirmed numerous times. Luffy’s just the one who’s going to do it because he has the necessary spirit, seemingly sharing the sensibilities of Joy Boy and Roger.
We can even see Luffy’s sensibilities acting as a self fulfilling prophecy. To be the King of the Pirates is to be the man who is most free (how Luffy defined it). To be the King you must be able to travel around the world freely and attain that which nobody but the King has been able to- the One Piece. To throw a big ass party (if truly his goal) you need to be the most free and so the above requirements must be met. Meanwhile, Luffy’s desire for friendship, family, and camaraderie (nakama, if you will) has given him the tools necessary to do this while the approaches of other pirates fail. He has made friends with Robin, who can read the poneglyphs. Coby, who’s ambition is likely to take him to the top of the Marines and is a man who may play a pivotal role in transferring this force into the dawn. Shirahoshi and Momo, who we now know are required pieces to bring the dawn. Everybody in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet who will enable him to fight on a large scale. Fishman Island, Alabasta, Dressrosa, Wano, Whitebeard’s crew, several warlords. He’s building up this group of allies with key members who will ultimately be capable of bringing the dawn, and it’s all simply because of who Luffy is. There’s no strategy. He’s not researching what he needs. There’s no information network or coercion backing him up. It’s because of who Luffy is and that spirit which makes people want to follow him as Mihawk said. Luffy brings people together and he will ultimately reunite the world because of that.
Does he need to have a secret goal which is to throw a party for all this to be true? No. But it fits.
@@ninuvids yeah I agree with much of what you said there. My disagreement with Artur’s belief that Luffy’s true goal to throw the biggest party the world has ever seen stems from the established pattern being that parties happen organically at the end of each arc once the tyrant has been defeated and that nobody on Luffy’s side has died. It would seem kinda redundant to me for Oda to make that Luffy’s goal when it would likely have happened anyway. It just seems like a one plus one equals eleven kinda logic. It seemed like his thought process was what’s something Luffy and roger could be mocked for saying when finishing the sentence “I’m gonna be .....”? What’s something Luffy loves to do? Party !! Hey that kinda fits both those things so that absolutely must be it. Couldn’t possibly be anything else such as “I’m gonna be king of the pirates” or “I’m gonna be the freest person in the world “ or “I’m gonna be the one to stop the tyrants” I always just assumed Luffy said he’ll be pirate king because that’s his catchphrase and it fits as something ace could tell Yamato not to laugh at given that he was at that time an unknown kid and for some upstart to claim that they’ll claim that huge prize that has eluded even the mightiest of pirates since Roger could definitely get a laugh from someone who doesn’t know Luffy and his potential.
I get that theories aren’t really meant to be taken too seriously. They’re mainly just meant to be a bit of fun trying to guess what will happen based on what’s already known. I just wish someone could tell Artur that because he takes it and himself a little too seriously me thinks and regrettably that bugs me more than it probably should.
Now you gotta react to the absurd, off the wall, iconic One Piece theories: Zoro Kills Kaido, The Raid Will Fail, Crocodile is Luffy’s Mom, The One Piece is on the moon, Shanks is Evil, Gin is Greenbull, etc.
I was waiting for this deep dive into tinfoilhat territory for quite some time now, you surely didn't disappoint! Glad to see you keeping the long format, it's always the perfect treat for the weekend, thanks a lot!
Anyone willing to put themselves through 1000 chapters of anything deserves to be wholeheartedly welcomed into the fandom. I've said it before and I'll say it again, but welcome to the crew, nakama!
I really loved JoyBoy theories' "Moon Kings" theory video, it was a blast to watch.
have you seen his video on the secret of the grand line? really awesome stuff
@@paperstars9078 ive seen most of his theories! Was kinda sad Murphy didnt get to see any of his
@@SlashWest same, but 4 out of 5 theories here were related to what the one piece is, and joyboy has great theories for ancient weapons, the grand line, dragon celestial dragons, imu etc, but he hasn't put in the effort to go all out in one theory to try to predict what the one piece is and to be honest, it is kind of overkill at this point. Hope he'd do more theories though, because his theories are more like food for though. His theories are a nice meal where you sit back and think about the meal and see, that everything worked together well and leaves you satisfied.
I gotta give props to the person who did the subtitles. You did an awesome job! Especially the "okay"- counter was great
Just want to mention one really important point, to whoever subtitled this video, you are too damn funny and you have done a great job there 😂 I noticed them in Merphy's last one piece video and now I have to read your inline comments also for extra entertainment 😂 well done 👍🏻✌🏻
I'm really glad that you decided to do talk about Mark's theory.
If stuck with me ever since I watched it when it first came out, especially the Bink's Sake part.
It's great that you also added theories from Randy Troy and Tekking 101. They're among my favorite weekly One Piece content creators; and their love for the series is easily apparent.
8:00 honestly, I haven’t thought THAT much about Laboon since the end of Thriller Bark, but I REALLY like the Laboon as a cyborg submarine idea!
What you said at the end about not caring to know what the One Piece is before reaching the end, that's me completely. That's why I don't really care so much for theories (that and the fact that for the 14ish years I've been reading OP week to week, I've seen soooooooooo many theories just be wrong. In a fun way, mind you, because the story surprises you!). I always love hearing your thoughts, so this was really interesting! But that bit at the end really resonated with me. OP has so much going on that is a story for all kinds of readers, and that's part of what makes it such a great manga.
Merphy's subtitling is way too epic!
Eggzactly
I'm so glad you enjoyed these videos. If I were looking for more videos on not just theories but discussions on characters, places, devil fruits, ect., Tekking 101 posts multiple videos a week on all those and more. I'm glad you've enjoyed catching up with One Piece.
By far the most infamous theory is the raid failing by MrMorj. You shouldve watched that. Its really good and explains a lot of doubts people have right now. Also we will find out if its true any week now.
To add, a lot is him standing by that even if its wrong, because it became a meme. Not too serious but well, as meme.
@@marocat4749 Have you read the latest chapter?
I know it has become a meme but I will stand with Mr.Morj theory
@@marocat4749 its really not a meme to him. He has been making videos on this for 3 years, he would die on that hill if OP ended right now.
@@FrenulemEnjoyer at some point people call him Lorj. Lol
There's also this one other really interesting theory about the One Piece being (instructions towards) the destruction of the Red Line using the ancient weapons - a treasure of freedom for all, of connecting the people of the world. This would tie together some loose plot threads - it would bring the ancient weapons into an active relevant role (the necessity of which would explain Roger being too early as Shirahoshi wasn't born yet), it would be the creation of the All Blue, it would allow Brook and Laboon (who is facing Reverse Mountain) to meet each other specifically _face to face_ as they promised when parting (which isn't possible otherwise, there's no reverse waterfall from the New World up Reverse Mountain), it would also cause the destruction of Fishman Island (as Luffy was predicted to do) and could coincide very nicely with the fight against the World Government.
Can't remember who presented this theory, would point you that way otherwise.
Arthur does touch on this as well, but the version I've seen before had a different focus, - like a mention of how Sanji specifically is the only one Luffy bonded with over their specific dreams upon recruiting him, and that being fitting as they effectively have the same dream, One Piece would be the route to All Blue as well - and didn't mention the treasure being sake.
I think you’re mentioning Mr morjs video “End of one piece (solved)”
@@zackm681 Possible. I tried checking his theory playlist since I had a feeling it might be Morj, but didn't notice it. May have just missed it in there.
@@zackm681 Morj's "End of One Piece" theory is simply his expansion to one of the OG theories in the community: "The Inherited Will" from Arlong Park Forums. He even acknowledges it himself in his video.
The reason I love one-piece so much is this whole reason...you can literally theorize hundreds of stories from this one story....and every theory is convincingly its own story...
Many people didn't notice this but the correct reading for X Drake is "Diez" Drake (spanish word for 10). It is shown in the original japanese version of the manga. Also, people who watch the anime can notice this when characters say his name when he was first introduced.
And his father's name was Diez Barrels.
Love your videos! I have been following them since the first one. And thank you for making me love reading books again.

@@shahrif4687 Hunter hunter*
The theory mr Morj summarizes in his "The End Of One Piece" is an absolutely must watch for any one piece fan interested in theories and a great entrypoint for some pretty new to the theory landscape.
It's not really his own theory but more of a well organized explenation of one of the best known and popular theories about the end of One Piece.
In my opinion i cant think of a more epic and satisfying way for this story to go down and Highly suggest to check it out for anyone interested:)!
I agree
Honestly, the theory that Morj presented is far better than most of this (excluding Randy's one, maybe), it doesn't have many of the reaches that these have. Still, they all did a good job imo
Raid failling is the best theory
@@123Z-q4i Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well
@@123Z-q4i new chapter says hi ;)
XD that was the best, the "i am gonna watch this and then review it no problem" to "i can't breath, that was so intense"
You should definitely watch Mr Morj's video "the end of One piece (solved)".
It is great theory, and actually opposes Ohara video, but I like them both anyways
I hope that the end of one piece will have the straw hats disband one by one, preferably in reverse order. A final moment between zoro and luffy would be crazy emotional
If you like one piece videos that emphasizes analysis of themes and story, then i recommend Morj!
Biggest sympathies to the subtitle maker. You are utterly entertaining.
I like the Laboon theory and Sanji stuff. Part of my theory puts Blackbeard as the one who "steals the light" with his darkness power, and the reason the ancient kingdom fell could've been because of a split amongst the D. We see Roger and Garp (two D's on opposite sides) fighting Xebec another D. A little crackpot theory I have regarding Usopp and Elbaf, is that he'll get or make himself a powerful hammer. Another thing, Luffy doesn't drink. He refused when forming the fleet, he only did it once and that was during his childhood with Ace and Sabo to be united as brothers. (I've only watched the first theory just now)
Ohara has a recent video explaining how the whale fits in!
no untrue luffy drinks when adding a new crew member
@@nanunutsunl5345 ah, I must've missed that. Thanks :)
@@ibg_music7525 your welcome thank you for being respectful
my theory is that Kaido makes a alliance with the straw hats and become the king of the pirates. Kaido and Luffy shares cups on Laugh Tale. the end
These aren't theory videos but Mr Morj's essay-style video analysis of Water 7/Ennies Lobby and Marineford are the best 2 one piece community videos i've ever seen
How is Morj not on here, he has the only theories that are pretty consistently on the money
His videos are on her list she just hasn’t gotten to them yet since these were voted to be done first. She will soon I believe tho!
Probably because she hasn't come across him yet. He doesn't seem as discoverable as the others. I just found him after watching TH-cam theories for like the last year and a half.
I guess his RAID on the submission spreadsheet has FAILED!
Yeah, the all blue theory is still easily one of the best i've heard to date.
Yeah because the raid has totally failed….
I know he has made more theories than that, but dude has said it every 10 seconds and it’s just not happening
I really love seeing you slowly go insane throughout this video from all the theories. One Piece theories truly are a crazy rabbit hole to dive down.
I also feel super vindicated that multiple youtubers arrived at the same conclusion I did about Sake.
It's not just Big Mom. Whitebeard also assembled a huge family. and while Kaido hasnt assembled a huge family he did spread SMILEs around.
So glad you're caught up and can discuss theories now! Oda's attention to detail, planning, and world building, are some of my favorite aspects of One Piece and really let people theorize wildly as his consistency with information and plot breadcrumbs make it possible to see some things ahead of time.
My favorite theories that the fanbase had based on evidence Oda provided that turned out to be true were the "Sanji is a Prince" theory (based on stuff like him being from North Blue and having a rare blood type, etc) and the "Kanjuro is the traitor" theory (based on him eating with his right hand but painting with left in Dressrosa, plus more).
Hilariously, the fanbase has been way off with theories sometimes too, either because Oda has something else cool planned, or sometimes just for it to be a red herring and joke. (So many people thought Duval was going to be a huge important plot callback only for him to be a gag on Sanji's wanted poster).
I personally also like the ideas of All Blue being created from destroying the Red Line, Binks' Sake's "funny story" being Laugh Tale, and Luffy's dream to unite the world in a party. I am not sold on specific details of each theory and am totally open to being surprised, but they are all ideas I like.
As for Sanji's eyebrows, another recent attention to detail thing Oda planted! When the time skip happened and Sanji's part changed sides, fans noticed that his eyebrow was still facing the same direction and were surprised because it meant Sanji's eyebrows both went same direction on each side (which was weird). But then in Whole Cake Island, we met his modified family and THEIR eyebrows went the opposite direction, which we thought was cool character design contrast and maybe had to do with him not being modified like them and matching their mom. BUT THEN, after Sanji started feeling like the Raid Suit had modified his body like his family, fans noticed that somepoint during the chapters where Sanji's body felt weird HIS EYEBROWS CHANGED DIRECTION TO MATCH HIS BROTHERS, signifying that his body was not modified like theirs. Oda's level of detail is insane and that's not even getting into the crazy background details and consistency he puts into each panel. It just gives people so much to discuss and theorize about.
I think she should watch Morj's analysis videos.
Surprised none of morj's theories are on here
for one piece analysis videos, i HIGHLY RECOMMEND Morj
His videos "why Oda is underrated", "secret of one piece", and "the 2 real main characters of one piece" are good intros to Morj's videos imo
Some of his best and longer vids are: "the DAWN of the world explained- one piece analysis", "why there is no fictional character like zoro", "why enies lobby is the peak of one piece", and "the philosophy of one piece".
Agree with you bro 💯 Joyboy & MrMorj theories got me into OP youtube theory
I don't understand why Ohara's video got massive views......it was already dismantle & semi debunked by GL Review
Watching your vids with the subtitles on is HILARIOUS.
Law in sword and Artur's massive theory are my favorites and I think very plausible especially Artur's.
Speaking of One Piece theories, your videos ended up leading to TH-cam recommending a channel called Grand Line Review to me, and on his secondary channel he did a video about what TH-camrs can learn from YOU! It was so cool to see and the comments were all people gushing over your content!
I recently found Dawn of the World and she has a few great ideas and videos, like the "Monkey Family" one a little while ago.
Grand Line Review also has a great lense of the story and some awesome insights into how Oda draws his panels and story parallels.
I think what you said in the end is one of the reasons why i have loved seeing your journey with one piece so much. Most of the contect creators surrounding this series are theory-lenient, which is good, i really enjoy them, but that's made your own content such a breeze of fresh air for me as a fan of many years now (both of one piece and your channel hahaha).
I'm also one of those "ride the waves wherever Oda takes us" kind of readers but because I don't deeply analyzing or pick up subtle hints oda drops in his chapters I really enjoy watching theories, I recommend Mr Morj, Yude-ron, Randy Troy, Ohara the fox, and Vinland D Ragnar.
my most favorite part of these videos is the captions, well done to whoever does them. the snark is a blessing :D
The "I'm gonna die" part had me dying with laughter
6:23 "I really love the idea, that the Merry-"
You didn't even finish this phrase and I had to pause this while gasping VERY loudly and started crying!!
I'll keep watching now but that... that just hit me!!
I'm so glad you reacted to Randy Troy's theory, he is my favorite One Piece TH-camr! He also has mentioned you on stream Merphy and wanted to collaborate with you once you caught up to the series by the way! He doesn't know how to reach you though 😅 But he is an amazing guy and is exceedingly knowledgeable about One Piece having been weekly for like 20+ years lol, so I think you two could have a great discussion!
#SavagePirates
Also it was definitely interesting and fun to head you talk about these theories
(Also the other 4 TH-camrs theories you watched are amazing too and make great vidoes I don't mean to undermine them lol)
I cannot thank you enough for starting to read one piece and doing these videos. In all honesty I’ve tried and dropped one piece multiple times in the past but hearing your perspective and genuine analysis of the story as a work of literature.
I can’t imagine how it felt to watch all of these theories in one day! This video was really fun, so I’d love to see another similar video where you react to more theories.
The best One PIECE theory by O'Hara has to be one of the biggest reaches I've ever seen.
She really should watch more or Mr. Morj and Randy Troy. They are good with thematic and narrative aspects of the story which I think plays well with her book analysis skills.
Both my favourites :)
Morj called her one piece reviews as fake and too much sugarcoating. I think that's not gonna happen.
@@sfguzmani that’s too bad. I like Morj but he definitely comes across as elitist at times. I think she actually looks at things thematically which very few Onepiece people do since it’s just not common in shonen manga to have strong themes running through the story.
Not saying there’s none in most shonen but the themes are so deep and fleshed out in Onepiece
@@sfguzmani What? that's such a bad take from morj, she claearly states when she doesn't like something about Oda's writting
One of the most important reason that your one-piece videos are so welcoming among the one piece fandom in my opinion is that you remind us of ourselves when we started to read or watch it. It reminds the fresh excitement when we began this great adventure. Glad you enjoy it as well
Merphy has to watch Mr.Morj since he is the closest to her style of viewing and reviewing this series. So give him a shot!
Great work on the entire one piece coverage Merphy it was a blast to watch you experience it all. Also watching this video with subtitles on made it so much funnier. Nice touch.
Randy Troy is one of the most correct theorists. So I believe in his SWORD theory too.
One of my favorite things about being caught up is weekly discussion and theorizing! Excited to continue following your journey!
It would be great to see a follow up to this video but about some of the more small-scale theories. Things like CrocoMom, Makino's baby, Blackbeard's multiple devil fruits. Longrunning theories that most One Piece fans have heard about but are not necessarily such large scale, 1 hour video topics on their own. A whole plethora could be included in one of these reaction videos.
There are some great theories out there that focus around themes
Arthur's theory us in my opinion the best out there, it really fits One piece themes
What I like most about this video is how Merphy is how respectful she is about the other youtuber's videos. She did not want to take away their shine
If you want what I believe is the best One Piece theory overall, check out Mr Morj’s “The End of One Piece (Solved)”
It makes so much sense it almost feels like a spoiler.
Im so confused. Why has the patreon not recommended this? Im so disappointed.
@@neuldjaan2655 I agree, it's one of the most OG theories that I can remember. I feel like it was so prevalent on youtube many years ago, although that might be the Mandela effect.
This was a great video. Love seeing you get more in tune with the One Piece community. Also, Randy Troy has talked about possibly doing a collab with you. He has a series where he's talks with other OP youtubers
the all blue part is really intriguing to me. if you made the rough sketch of the one piece planet (yes, planet), you'll see that all blue is impossible to already exist. the only time the waters of all the blues met were at the peak of Reverse Mountain and waters of Fishman Island (if they count). So, the only way to make All Blue possible is to create it. This is where "The Destruction of The Red Line" theory comes in and I actually prefer this theory. The destruction of the whole Red Line is kind of too much so there are alternatives like destroying only Reverse Mountain and Mary Jois. Destroying those spots specifically made more sense since the two had pretty much affects people negatively. Reverse Mountain with Brook and Laboon and Mary Jois as the holy land of the celestial dragons and the center of the world government. Mr Morj actually have an in depth theory about this (maybe need to watch some of his other theories too) about why Destroying the red line (specifically those 2 spots) is required and why it is the one piece.
Plus, destroying the Red Line at Marejois would almost certainly cause the destruction of Fishman Island, which is sitting right beneath that spot, explaining both what the Noah had been created for (Evacuating the Fishmen when Joyboy triggered whatever was supposed to do this) and also fulfill the prophecy that Luffy would destroy Fishman Island.
I absolutely lose my mind over the "X Marks the Spot" aspect of this theory. Every One Piece map we've seen looks kind of like an XY axis, with the Grand Line going left to right - but isn't it strange how the North Blue isn't really depicted as northern, and the South Blue isn't really depicted as southern? It's almost like the axis of the map is wrong. If we rotate the map 45 degrees, putting the North Blue in the North and the South Blue in the South: two X's span the entire planet, with Fishman Island/Mariejois and Reverse Mountain at the centers. I LOVE IT.
@@kristinberthiaume7634 You are right about the rotation, the few times we've seen a globe of the world it's made clear that yes, the Red Line/Grand Line are shifted from what they look like on a flat map. Don't think it's quite 45 degrees, but it is enough to be very clear.
As to X marks the spot, we already have the made explicit it's going to happen. The Road Poneglyphs. Each one lays out a specific location, once you have all four you draw two lines connecting the two points across from each other, and where they cross is Laughtale. X will mark the spot.
@@7Seraphem7 That's a great point, I hadn't thought of that!
the sub-titles are great. So much funny humor just hidden away
In tekking's theory that the one piece is a philosophical dilemma, my mind always assumed that Blackbeard would be the one to swoop in and make the decision of the Ends justify the means.
best story in manga!!!! so happy your on board hehehe been watching you for years now lol and happy my interests are colliding!
The way you say Ohara is oh-ha-rah
Great video! I suggest reading and then reacting to the "Return to the Reverie" fanmade chapters. It's not only a very elaborate theory but it's also applied for real and even though it felt like fan service at times it was really interesting to read.
You should watch Ohara's characters analysis!!! Matt Owens, the screenwriter of the One Piece live action series has shared with his team to help them understand the characters better
Merphy talking about a Randy Troy theory! The crossover we've been waiting for.
