About why Silvers Rayleigh is called the Dark King : You said it perfectly, Rayleigh is the Darkness to Roger's light. Just like Zoro is more vicious and isn't afraid to show some bloodlust. I would be 100 times more afraid to anger Zoro than Luffy. I view Rayleigh the same way, except, he's a bit more jovial than Zoro is.
It was Naruto that gave flashbacks a negative reputation. And far as I remember it was mainly because they kept replaying that same Itachi kills the Uchia one over and over. Kept trying to milk it for all it was worth using it as filler basically. One Piece the flashbacks are always different and major plot points occur in them.
That's exactly how I interpreted the dark king title. Reyleigh could have been a legit contender for pirate king but he chose to stand on Rogers shadow. People group WB, Garp and Roger on a complete different level than the rest but imo Reyleigh deserves to be mentioned on the same breath as those three.
@@x.ocaleb302 no one is talking about the Whitebeard that fought in marineford you imbecile what I’m saying is prime WB and Roger were on a whole another level never compare Rayleigh to them
I've always believed "Dark King" meant simply that, where Roger "ruled" in the light, Rayleigh "ruled" from the shadows. Roger and Luffy are extraordinarily similar, so I imagine that in the early days, Roger had a lot of similar problems and emotional hangups as Luffy did/does. So he needed someone more stern and level-headed to balance him out and keep him on track, the same way Luffy needs Zoro to be that person for him. Luffy will always ultimately do what he wants, but he values Zoro's opinion and input *extremely* highly (see Water 7), so in any realm where Luffy is making an important decision, you can bet that Zoro's opinion on that decision has been taken into account. I've heard "Dark King" or "Shadow King" or similar terms used to describe someone who "controls" a political leader from behind the scenes. We can see this in history in a few places where the proper ruler is too young/unfit/or simply weak-willed and so will be "controlled" or coerced into the decisions an outside party wants. For a One Piece example: Our favorite shadowy chair-sitter Im is absolutely a Shadow King. They rule unseen from the shadows over who we, on the face of things, believe to be the real rulers of the world, the 5 Elders. "Dark King" was likely given to Rayleigh because, in the face of the goofy, eccentric, bananas-ass personality of Roger, people looked at his calm, collected first mate and assumed HE must be running the show, just allowing Roger to maintain the *appearance* of the true Captain and true Pirate King, all the while Rayleigh pulling the strings. This mirrors in Luffy and Zoro as well. People often assume Zoro is the Captain because of his calm demeanor and intimidating presence. What people don't realize when they assume Rayleigh or Zoro are the ones in charge is that neither Rayleigh nor Zoro had/have any desire to *actually* be in control of their true Captains. Regardless of their inherent ability to lead, regardless of having all the qualities of kings, they both comfortably and happily choose second in command, both knowing that when their Captain is MOST in need, he will turn to them before all others. Where Luffy and Roger were *destined* to be kings, Rayleigh and Zoro have the one quality neither Luffy nor Roger had: the willingness to yield power completely and bend the knee to someone else, understanding to only step into power when their Captains need it. In the rare circumstances where the King must step down from the light, the Dark King will *always* step forward from the shadows.
I completely an utterly agree. You broke it down perfectly. In my eyes they've been equal in strength but Rayliegh has no desire to lead even though he is more than capable. He is happy being the second mate of the crew that steps up when needed.
For me he's the coolest character at OP. - the name - design - swordsman - powerful - mysterious - serious - badass Etc. Like he is the perfect character for me
I've always just liked swordsmen in general so Raleigh showed up wielding a sword I'm like okay a badass got even more badass and I wasnt sure that was even possible

When people fought Rayleigh they probably asked themselves the same question as people that fight Zoro nowadays. He was surely strong enough to have his own Crew and become the Pirate King, just like Zoro. But I assume it has something to do with his dream why he didn't chase this title himself. He doesn't need the title to fulfill his dream, he probably fulfilled his dream while being Roger's mate. I think Zoro and Rayleigh are both very humble (i.e. Zoro on Thriller Bark vs Kuma and not telling anyone about it and for Rayleigh being so strong and still being fine with standing in someone else's shadow) and that's what you need in a partner if you wanna become Pirate King. Awesome character!
@@Warlords901 wasn’t Whitebeard‘s death awesome? Couldn’t have died in a better way. I think same thing will happen to him. He will die but in an honorable and epic way.
This makes me realise that one piece unlike all other shows never used pronouns like "that" or "them" one piece never hid away from being honest. People will speak normally and refer to things we have no idea of and we just have to go along. They never say "you're using *it* aren't you?"
I do think that sometimes, that, it or them can be useful to make a conversation more natural. Example two people are trying to be sneaky, they won't say he do you have the treasure box of hell? They'll most likely say, do you have that?
But then, what did Luffy and Zoro mean by "them" on Mocktown? I get what you said, but like the other guy said, sometimes saying it "it" or "that" can feel a bit more natural. Also, are you sure you have really really memorized all dialogs in One Piece? 🤷♂️
@8:48 I completely forgot about Rayleigh inviting Luffy to train for 2 years, but put in the context of the 20-year prophecy Roger learned about in Fishman Island, it's as if Rayleigh knew Luffy was 2 years too early to go into the New World and acheive what Roger couldn't, so he made sure he would be ready and on time. I wonder if Oda already thought about that prophecy all those years ago, but the consistancy is amazing!
I love finnish translation, where Rayleighs nickname is straight up translated short as Hades, instead of long King of the underworld or Dark king. Imo it brings a little more flavor to the nickname.
As for Rayleigh bounty, I think maybe we can guess a bit because Roger bounty has been shown, maybe it's slightly below Roger, but for Rocks & Dragon, maybe it can be equal to Roger or maybe Rocks bounty is bigger than Roger, maybe... !!
roger's is probably 8B whitebeard (prime) is 6.5B kaido is 5B big and whitebeard prime was slightly stronger than rayleigh prime so rayleigh bounty must've been 4.9B or 5B
@@thelosttomato4020 Yeah, true. Why did people call Whitebeard the "Man closest to the One Piece" when Rayleigh at the time LITERALLY knew where it is and what it is?
Rayleigh was the first mate and Vice-Captain of the Roger Pirates. He started the journey with Gol D. Roger and ended the journey with Gol D. Roger. His days of piracy may be in the past, but he trusts Luffy and his crew to carry the true vision of what a Pirate should be without the malice that is amongst the current times in One Piece. Hope he stays alive long enough to see the Straw Pirates achive the "impossible." I can't wait. ☺
Hear me out: Maybe he's like Charon or Karon (The Ferryman) in the sense that after Roger was done, he cleaned up (in a sense) and took them across the river styx. (Which might be why he keeps ship wrecking, cuz he isn't supposed to meet any other destinations other than Hades.)
Maybe the last Road Poneglyph or the gates to Laughtale is through Davy Jones locker which requires a guide to ferry the crew through this underworld. Enter Raleigh.
@@blistex4234 prime isn’t a thing in one piece, oda said “what if you don’t lose your strength as you get older” that’s why you see all these 60+ year old men being super strong
There are common connections about a character from the Novel "Treasure Island". Long John Silver has the same name as Silver Rayleigh, both are mentors/father figures to the protagonist, both served under a pirate captain at one point in their lifetime (Captain Flint for Long John and Gol D. Roger for Rayleigh) and both as first mates/second in command. This isn't a coincidence.
Of Long John Silver it is said: "Silver is married to a woman of African descent, whom he trusts to manage his business affairs in his absence and to liquidate his Bristol assets when his actions make it impossible for him to go home"
@@colin_rootz Indeed! Shakuyaku is indeed Rayleighs wife! And having a business together... although she's only to run its place. Another connection between those two characters.
i am a writer and trust me on how much I envy ODA.... he got to make such a long series where he can do justice to so many characters that we love them all from bottom of our hearts. I am not saying even I can do it, but would love if I get that chance. What ODA has is a dream of any writer on face of this planet.
Agreed. Just take a look at the two coolest guys (YMMV) here: Zoro and Law. Both are coolest but they have different cool vibes. Heck, we can add Sanji, Ace and Luffy. All three of them are cool in their own way. Also, good luck to your writing career.
When Roger disbanded the Roger pirates, Rayleigh was still fairly young. I'm certain he didn't immediately retire to the nearest bar. So I'm thinking his epithet may have been earned in later, yet to be revealed activities.
@@rinmartell2678 , Rayleigh was in fact the person that taught Roger how to use Conquers, Observational Haki, and Armament Haki just like how Rayleigh taught Luffy those forms of Haki, and how Dragon taught Sabo how to use those form of Haki.

Always loved Rayleigh. His calm, wise, supportive, and mysterious personality has always been a treat to see in the story. Rayleigh will always be the best.
Bold to assume he didnt let oz slide undrr an excuse, because it was never the goal, and for a later rematch. Rayleight is strong but old, and fun enough to fight for kizaru that he might pay him that respect, and wants a rematch.
Hollywood is our dissilusioned veiw of the world and the united states is having extreme upheaval over our identity. hollywood never knows how to show the bad cause america doesn't like to acknowledge our flaws.
I haven’t watched the video and I just thought of this- Perhaps Rayleigh’s called Dark King because he was the shadow of the king, metaphorically of course
I HAVE A THEORY it has been bugging me for a while and I just have to say it So most of you know how Roger, The Pirate King, said “Someone will be born and this person will surpass us, we came too early.The One Piece huh? I wonder who will find it” WHAT IF ROGER NEVER FOUND THE ONE PIECE? what if The One Piece was never discovered and roger couldn’t fulfill The Will Of The D. (this is me assuming the will is finding the one piece and finding the truth about the ancient kingdom but that’s another theory) What if luffy is THE ONE who will find The One Piece? Roger said “we came too early” what if he meant that this wasn’t the time for us, we couldn’t find it because The One Piece was never in the last island like we thought I know this sounds crazy but bear with me here When Roger said to the Crew “I wonder who will find it” WHAT IF HE MEANT THAT AS IN there will be a time when someone finds The One Piece and this person will carry out The Will. I don’t have much evidence here but I just had to let it out and hope someone will give it attention and try to understand this like I do
Imagine if Rayleigh became the final villain and he gave Roger his sickness is secretly. Like he’s an ally of Emu or the world government, that would be a major plot twist. Although he’s way too likable so I don’t think that will happen but imagine if that really happened
Don’t use God’s name in vain! Repent of your sins and believe on Adonai Jesus Christ, believe in your heart that He has died for sins and rose from the tomb on the third day and let the Holy Spirit within you, and you shall be saved. - Jesus the Christ loves you, praise YHWH our Elohim - Evidence for Jesus Christ’s existence, crucifixion, and disappearance from the tomb (He rose from it): The Lord Jesus Christ did exist, gathered disciples, and was crucified and went missing from the tomb. To argue about wether He was taken from the grave or rose from it, is an argument a skeptic can make. Because well if you disregard the eye witness testimony of the disciples and there willingness to die for Christ, and humans won’t die for something they know is a lie, when Peter is pinned upside down to that cross, he could have said that it was a fake, but He didn’t because it wasn’t, what care would he have about death in this world if he knew for a fact he had assurance of a life in another, Jesus Christ did rise from the tomb and is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now the evidence for the Lord Jesus Christ’s existence really isn’t hard to find a multitude of non-Christian scholars and historians mention Him within 150 years after the time of His life. One such is Tacitus a Roman historian who reported on emperor nero’s decision to blame the Christians for the fire that had destroyed rome in 64 AD. Tacitus wrote: “Nero fastened the guilt ... on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of ... Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome…” In this Tacitus makes reference to not only Christians, but Christ calling Him Christus and confirming the Gospels going on to say that He suffered the extreme penalty (crucifixion) under the reign of Tiberius and by the sentence of Pontius Pilate, which like I said confirms the Gospels narrative. Another important source of evidence about Jesus and early Christianity can be found in the letters of Pliny the Younger to Emperor Trajan. Pliny was the Roman governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor. In one of his letters, dated around A.D. 112, he asks Trajan's advice about the appropriate way to conduct legal proceedings against those accused of being Christians. Pliny says that he needed to consult the emperor about this issue because a great multitude of every age, class, and sex stood accused of Christianity. At one point in his letter, Pliny relates some of the information he has learned about these Christians: “They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food - but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.” This passage provides a number of interesting insights into the beliefs and practices of early Christians. First, we see that Christians regularly met on a certain fixed day for worship. Second, their worship was directed to Christ, demonstrating that they firmly believed in His divinity. Furthermore, one scholar interprets Pliny's statement that hymns were sung to Christ, "as to a god", as a reference to the rather distinctive fact that, "unlike other gods who were worshipped, Christ was a person who had lived on earth." If this interpretation is correct, Pliny understood that Christians were worshipping an actual historical person as God! Of course, this agrees perfectly with the New Testament doctrine that Jesus was both God and man. You may have heard of the scholar Flavius Josephus who mentioned James as being the brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, which matches what Paul said calling James “The Lord’s brother” and there is another document that Josephus may have written which goes: “About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he ... wrought surprising feats.... He was the Christ. When Pilate ...condemned him to be crucified, those who had . . . come to love him did not give up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared ... restored to life.... And the tribe of Christians ... has ... not disappeared.” Now it’s up to debate wether this is the entirely original document of what Josephus wrote, or if a Christian had edited it. But regardless he wrote about the Lord Jesus Christ. Wether it was negative or positive like the possible document is. Anyways there are many other statements, documents, letters, and writings of all sorts from the ancient world talking about the Lord Jesus Christ and there is not one question if He was a real person or if He was crucified and went missing from the grave. That is clear as day, He is a real person, was crucified, and went missing from the grave. And He did rise from the grave. And for more evidence of the Lord Jesus Christ, there’s the Bible and you see there is no evidence the Bible is corrupted, a lie, created by the Roman government, folktale. It is the recount of the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, now wether you want to believe it is up to you. And what profit was there in spreading Christianity, All the early Christian suffered persecution, beatings, and were killed. Another Scholar reported that James the Lord’s Brother was thrown off a building and then stoned to death for spreading the Gospel in Jerusalem. These people went to great lengths even giving their own lives for the Adon Jesus the Christ. Amen!!!!!!!
I will forever wonder how God created Oda's brain to be so brilliant. I mean watching all these analysis video's takes One Piece to another level. e.g. so many people love Shakespeare for his apparently amazing stories, but even after having analysed them, I found that alot of them were simply ambiguous meaning pulled out of very thin air. Comparing this to Oda, I don't know why everyone in the world doesn't watch or read One Piece

Pluto and Hades are both Greek, neither is Latin. The distinction is more about Hades as a place vs Pluto[n] as its governing god and brother of Zeus/Dias (also both Greek). In referencing the god himself, Hades was also sometimes used interchangeably.

Luffys dream is to host the biggest party in the world just like Roger wanted.Thats his dream..When roger said that to Whitebeard then he replied "what are you,a child?"Also when luffy said Sabo and Ace u can see on the background Aces reaction that is kinda strange..At every arc every win,the strawhats have these parties every every single time.To me thats a bit lame to be honest but in each arc luffy says he will handle the trouble and after they will have the biggest banquet that they can have.Eat and drink as much as their hearts can...Thats what luffy said to Shanks and he remembered his captain then decided to give him the hat.And in order to have the biggest party u must unite the whole world which now as it stands is just fractions scattered around.When he will make it whole again maybe he will make it one piece again..
Actually i think his name silver has to with long john silver, from the famous book treasure island. Who was also quarter master to a famous pirate who hid his treasure. One peice makes alot of refrences to treasure island.

@8:48 I completely forgot about Rayleigh inviting Luffy to train for 2 years, but put in the context of the 20-year prophecy Roger learned about in Fishman Island, it's as if Rayleigh knew Luffy was 2 years too early to go into the New World and acheive what Roger couldn't, so he made sure he would be ready and on time.
I wonder if Oda already thought about that prophecy all those years ago, but the consistancy is amazing!
That Thumbnail was so clean. Good job to whoever drew it.
the author of Dr. Stone haha
@@Ohara-the-Fox Really? Can you please tell me who draw the thumbnail on your other characters analysis? Is it also him?
Roger: Here Shanks take my hat
Shanks: Here Luffy take my hat
Rayleigh: WTF is that hat made out of
Buggy: knifes the hat.
His surname is also probably a reference to Long John Silver, a famous pirate from Treasure Island.
agreed
hey, have u watched The series 'Black Sails'?
That's what I always believed
Has too.
@@laxmandass6946 nope, thanks for the tip!
"Rayleigh is a goddamned legendary character."
Ahh yes! The floor is made out of floor.
I love finnish translation, where Rayleighs nickname is straight up translated short as Hades, instead of long King of the underworld or Dark king. Imo it brings a little more flavor to the nickname.
rayleigh is easily one of my favorite mentor characters in anime :) great video ohara!!
the bounty I always curious about after Roger's bounty reveal are:
1. Dragon
2. Rayleigh
3. Rocks
As for Rayleigh bounty, I think maybe we can guess a bit because Roger bounty has been shown, maybe it's slightly below Roger, but for Rocks & Dragon, maybe it can be equal to Roger or maybe Rocks bounty is bigger than Roger, maybe... !!
@@raphaelpenang8109 there wasnt a bigger Bounty than whitebeards and Roger, that was said
roger's is probably 8B whitebeard (prime) is 6.5B kaido is 5B big and whitebeard prime was slightly stronger than rayleigh prime so rayleigh bounty must've been 4.9B or 5B
I demand a jimbe video 🤔
Keep up the good work
I think he has done a Jinbei analysis already, about a year ago!
He was only overshadowed by one man, and he was the freaking King of all pirates goddamn it !
It’s just like how Zoro was this renowned bounty Hunter, Rayleigh had a name big enough to do it hisself but succumbed to a more willing leader.
Me: started installing a game
Phone: gets notification for the next charc analysis vid
Me: *HE HE BOI*
Silver Rayleigh is just Jiraiya in so many ways..
With the exception that he did not die
But Rayleigh actually taught luffy something tho
He ain't a pedo, don't ever disrespect him like that.
I dont see jiraya as a cool character lik rayleigh but more emotional than him
@@shay_3859 didn't say he was a pedo, that's just your dirty mind ''my guy''
I won't ever forget how much of an awesome character he was when he flew out of nowhere to kick kizaru's leg to save zoro.
He could have easily been a Yonko if he wanted to. Actually King of the Pirates.
It would be the easiest thing in the world for Rayleigh to become Pirate king. He literally knows how to get to Laugh Tale.
Just lik marco
@@thelosttomato4020
Yeah, true.
Why did people call Whitebeard the "Man closest to the One Piece" when Rayleigh at the time LITERALLY knew where it is and what it is?
@@Rysussybaka maybe be cause he already had it
Rayleigh was the first mate and Vice-Captain of the Roger Pirates. He started the journey with Gol D. Roger and ended the journey with Gol D. Roger.
His days of piracy may be in the past, but he trusts Luffy and his crew to carry the true vision of what a Pirate should be without the malice that is amongst the current times in One Piece.
Hope he stays alive long enough to see the Straw Pirates achive the "impossible." I can't wait. ☺
Yes I hope he manages to see a new king before he dies
Also his voice actor is one of the coolest in the anime, he always make me shiver
Hear me out: Maybe he's like Charon or Karon (The Ferryman) in the sense that after Roger was done, he cleaned up (in a sense) and took them across the river styx. (Which might be why he keeps ship wrecking, cuz he isn't supposed to meet any other destinations other than Hades.)
Maybe the last Road Poneglyph or the gates to Laughtale is through Davy Jones locker which requires a guide to ferry the crew through this underworld. Enter Raleigh.
This comment needs to be pinned!
@@HungTruongHudson Raleigh, North Carolina USA 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
@@HungTruongHudson oh come on bro that’s too cool, I wanna see that now 😔
@@bockskarr6626 sorry about that haha. spellcheck got me.
Absolute favorite entrance, especially highlighting his outrageously laid back personality
I like to think that the "Silvers" part of his name is also a reference to Long John Silvers from Treasure Island
Yep who is also a pirate legend undercover mentoring the hero.
Rayleigh can probably defeat a yonko if he wanted to.
in his prime, yes, right now i guess no
In his prime yes
Not anymore.
Bonney should use her age fruit and then mayb...also yall talking about prime when wb kicked as* when he was near death
@@blistex4234 prime isn’t a thing in one piece, oda said “what if you don’t lose your strength as you get older” that’s why you see all these 60+ year old men being super strong
There are common connections about a character from the Novel "Treasure Island". Long John Silver has the same name as Silver Rayleigh, both are mentors/father figures to the protagonist, both served under a pirate captain at one point in their lifetime (Captain Flint for Long John and Gol D. Roger for Rayleigh) and both as first mates/second in command. This isn't a coincidence.
Of Long John Silver it is said: "Silver is married to a woman of African descent, whom he trusts to manage his business affairs in his absence and to liquidate his Bristol assets when his actions make it impossible for him to go home"
@@colin_rootz Indeed! Shakuyaku is indeed Rayleighs wife! And having a business together... although she's only to run its place. Another connection between those two characters.
Never really realized that he shared traits with sanji and zoro makes me intrigued about him even more
Sometimes they say Rayleigh is not strong as other yonkos... Because roger wants to fight powerful yonkos so Rayleigh didn't got a chance... 😅
Too bad for rayleigh he couldn't go all out cuz he already had monsters like gaban and roger in their crew
Damn that dark king analogy hits different
Rayleigh is the Dark King just like Sasuke is the Shadow Hokage.
Not Hokage*
Shadow fire shadow
5:49 Reyleighs shorts changes color
Rayleigh is the most bad ass mentor character in any anime. He’s only there at the perfect times and not overused.
Rayleigh: This is the limit of my ability "Demon aura" " Maou"
LOL
i am a writer and trust me on how much I envy ODA.... he got to make such a long series where he can do justice to so many characters that we love them all from bottom of our hearts. I am not saying even I can do it, but would love if I get that chance. What ODA has is a dream of any writer on face of this planet.
As normal reader of one piece idk what other authors feels about ODA legit compared to other this man just out of this world
Agreed.
Just take a look at the two coolest guys (YMMV) here: Zoro and Law. Both are coolest but they have different cool vibes. Heck, we can add Sanji, Ace and Luffy. All three of them are cool in their own way.
Also, good luck to your writing career.
Id say if jump allowed him more pages then itd be even more better
When Roger disbanded the Roger pirates, Rayleigh was still fairly young. I'm certain he didn't immediately retire to the nearest bar. So I'm thinking his epithet may have been earned in later, yet to be revealed activities.
The Darker the Shadow the brighter the light Roger couldn't have shined brightly without a shadow, which was Rayleigh.
2 questions:
Is Mister 2 alive?
Am i the only one that think that he should be a member of the crew?
yes hes alive , chapter 666 cover
Bon-chan is alive, he's currently in Impel Down, he took Ivankov's place in Newkama-Land
Do you think it was rayleigh taught roger haki ,I believe dark king means Roger's shadow,wherever roger is rayleigh is there too
No😂
@@rinmartell2678 , Rayleigh was in fact the person that taught Roger how to use Conquers, Observational Haki, and Armament Haki just like how Rayleigh taught Luffy those forms of Haki, and how Dragon taught Sabo how to use those form of Haki.
That scene after the time skip where Luffy raise his arms and scream Rayleigh's name is one of my favourite scene in One piece :S
When did it happen, I don’t recall.
Can someone please tell me the name of the song that starts playing at 7:25? i have been searching for it on epidemic sound for ages now and cant find it
Always loved Rayleigh. His calm, wise, supportive, and mysterious personality has always been a treat to see in the story. Rayleigh will always be the best.
Is buggy not eccentric and charismatic? I kinda thought that was his one biggest strength
all the dislikes are from rayleigh enemies who lost to him
Im still on the sky island ark. Cant wait to meet the rest of characters 🤩
" I really love young girls" lol what an introduction.
Thats very sus
Kizaru may have superior devil fruit powers but he failed to kill or capture Rayleigh at Sabaody.
Victory is meaningless if:
A.) you ended up severely injured, or
B.) you didn't accomplish your original/exact goal.
Bold to assume he didnt let oz slide undrr an excuse, because it was never the goal, and for a later rematch. Rayleight is strong but old, and fun enough to fight for kizaru that he might pay him that respect, and wants a rematch.
it cut in the end, "thanks for wat"
cliffhanger!
@@Ohara-the-Fox Artur- The library of Ohara made an interesting video about how Luffy's true dream is to make a big party and invite everyone
To top it of he has the friggin best name of this series : SILVERS RAYLEIGH
Anime knows how to make mentors/predecessors badass despite their flaws as human beings unlike Hollywood right now
Hollywood is our dissilusioned veiw of the world and the united states is having extreme upheaval over our identity. hollywood never knows how to show the bad cause america doesn't like to acknowledge our flaws.
I would love for him to have just a gangster moment in the finale to show why he's the Dark King.
I haven’t watched the video and I just thought of this-
Perhaps Rayleigh’s called Dark King because he was the shadow of the king, metaphorically of course
Rayleigh is Im-sama ?????
Need a full video on ODEN and his entire legacy
I HAVE A THEORY
it has been bugging me for a while and I just have to say it
So most of you know how Roger, The Pirate King, said “Someone will be born and this person will surpass us, we came too early.The One Piece huh? I wonder who will find it”
WHAT IF ROGER NEVER FOUND THE ONE PIECE? what if The One Piece was never discovered and roger couldn’t fulfill The Will Of The D. (this is me assuming the will is finding the one piece and finding the truth about the ancient kingdom but that’s another theory)
What if luffy is THE ONE who will find The One Piece?
Roger said “we came too early” what if he meant that this wasn’t the time for us, we couldn’t find it because The One Piece was never in the last island like we thought
I know this sounds crazy but bear with me here
When Roger said to the Crew “I wonder who will find it” WHAT IF HE MEANT THAT AS IN there will be a time when someone finds The One Piece and this person will carry out The Will.
I don’t have much evidence here but I just had to let it out and hope someone will give it attention and try to understand this like I do
Rayleigh is still a beast even in his old years
I like to think of Rayleigh as the moon to Roger's sun
Yeah like Shanks and Ben Beckman or Luffy and Zoro.
Imagine if Rayleigh became the final villain and he gave Roger his sickness is secretly. Like he’s an ally of Emu or the world government, that would be a major plot twist. Although he’s way too likable so I don’t think that will happen but imagine if that really happened
Why would he train luffy then
That is the perfect title
10:45 That music gave me goosebumps. haha.
Don’t use God’s name in vain! Repent of your sins and believe on Adonai Jesus Christ, believe in your heart that He has died for sins and rose from the tomb on the third day and let the Holy Spirit within you, and you shall be saved.
-
Jesus the Christ loves you, praise YHWH our Elohim
-
Evidence for Jesus Christ’s existence, crucifixion, and disappearance from the tomb (He rose from it):
The Lord Jesus Christ did exist, gathered disciples, and was crucified and went missing from the tomb. To argue about wether He was taken from the grave or rose from it, is an argument a skeptic can make. Because well if you disregard the eye witness testimony of the disciples and there willingness to die for Christ, and humans won’t die for something they know is a lie, when Peter is pinned upside down to that cross, he could have said that it was a fake, but He didn’t because it wasn’t, what care would he have about death in this world if he knew for a fact he had assurance of a life in another, Jesus Christ did rise from the tomb and is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now the evidence for the Lord Jesus Christ’s existence really isn’t hard to find a multitude of non-Christian scholars and historians mention Him within 150 years after the time of His life. One such is Tacitus a Roman historian who reported on emperor nero’s decision to blame the Christians for the fire that had destroyed rome in 64 AD. Tacitus wrote:
“Nero fastened the guilt ... on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of ... Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome…”
In this Tacitus makes reference to not only Christians, but Christ calling Him Christus and confirming the Gospels going on to say that He suffered the extreme penalty (crucifixion) under the reign of Tiberius and by the sentence of Pontius Pilate, which like I said confirms the Gospels narrative.
Another important source of evidence about Jesus and early Christianity can be found in the letters of Pliny the Younger to Emperor Trajan. Pliny was the Roman governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor. In one of his letters, dated around A.D. 112, he asks Trajan's advice about the appropriate way to conduct legal proceedings against those accused of being Christians. Pliny says that he needed to consult the emperor about this issue because a great multitude of every age, class, and sex stood accused of Christianity. At one point in his letter, Pliny relates some of the information he has learned about these Christians:
“They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food - but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.”
This passage provides a number of interesting insights into the beliefs and practices of early Christians. First, we see that Christians regularly met on a certain fixed day for worship. Second, their worship was directed to Christ, demonstrating that they firmly believed in His divinity. Furthermore, one scholar interprets Pliny's statement that hymns were sung to Christ, "as to a god", as a reference to the rather distinctive fact that, "unlike other gods who were worshipped, Christ was a person who had lived on earth." If this interpretation is correct, Pliny understood that Christians were worshipping an actual historical person as God! Of course, this agrees perfectly with the New Testament doctrine that Jesus was both God and man.
You may have heard of the scholar Flavius Josephus who mentioned James as being the brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, which matches what Paul said calling James “The Lord’s brother” and there is another document that Josephus may have written which goes:
“About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he ... wrought surprising feats.... He was the Christ. When Pilate ...condemned him to be crucified, those who had . . . come to love him did not give up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared ... restored to life.... And the tribe of Christians ... has ... not disappeared.”
Now it’s up to debate wether this is the entirely original document of what Josephus wrote, or if a Christian had edited it. But regardless he wrote about the Lord Jesus Christ. Wether it was negative or positive like the possible document is. Anyways there are many other statements, documents, letters, and writings of all sorts from the ancient world talking about the Lord Jesus Christ and there is not one question if He was a real person or if He was crucified and went missing from the grave. That is clear as day, He is a real person, was crucified, and went missing from the grave. And He did rise from the grave. And for more evidence of the Lord Jesus Christ, there’s the Bible and you see there is no evidence the Bible is corrupted, a lie, created by the Roman government, folktale. It is the recount of the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, now wether you want to believe it is up to you. And what profit was there in spreading Christianity, All the early Christian suffered persecution, beatings, and were killed. Another Scholar reported that James the Lord’s Brother was thrown off a building and then stoned to death for spreading the Gospel in Jerusalem. These people went to great lengths even giving their own lives for the Adon Jesus the Christ.
Amen!!!!!!!
This video was done so well honestly, the clips you picked and the background music as well really tied it all together.
Rayleigh always follows Roger. He walks through his Captain's shadow and that's why he's called the "The Dark King".
Damn that Ace scene caught me by surprise!!! Breathe! breathe!
I will forever wonder how God created Oda's brain to be so brilliant. I mean watching all these analysis video's takes One Piece to another level.
e.g. so many people love Shakespeare for his apparently amazing stories, but even after having analysed them, I found that alot of them were simply ambiguous meaning pulled out of very thin air.
Comparing this to Oda, I don't know why everyone in the world doesn't watch or read One Piece
Rayleigh.. Uncle of Luffy.. Try to backstory Ace died. buggy said.. RAYLEIGH luffysan uncle..
If Luffy has inherited Roger’s will and devil fruits can also pass on some traits and will of the previous user, could it be that Roger was the last Gomu Gomu no Mi devil fruit user????? 😱😱😱😱😱
Pluto and Hades are both Greek, neither is Latin. The distinction is more about Hades as a place vs Pluto[n] as its governing god and brother of Zeus/Dias (also both Greek). In referencing the god himself, Hades was also sometimes used interchangeably.
KIZARU V/S Goddamn Legendary Character: ⚡⚡
KIZARU V/S A Man just with pistol : 🙌🙌
Rayleigh the last legendary pirate alive!
Question O'Hara does Rodger Oden Ace mihawk GARP possess all types of haki not just two
ofc they do lol
Is it just me or does Mihawk look the son of Rayleigh I mean they got the same beard style,and patern on their clothing,there both swordsman.idk who the mom would be but I would assume it's the bar tender from Sabaody Archipelago (forgot her name)be cause they seem to have a close relationship.plus she has black hair
Luffys dream is to host the biggest party in the world just like Roger wanted.Thats his dream..When roger said that to Whitebeard then he replied "what are you,a child?"Also when luffy said Sabo and Ace u can see on the background Aces reaction that is kinda strange..At every arc every win,the strawhats have these parties every every single time.To me thats a bit lame to be honest but in each arc luffy says he will handle the trouble and after they will have the biggest banquet that they can have.Eat and drink as much as their hearts can...Thats what luffy said to Shanks and he remembered his captain then decided to give him the hat.And in order to have the biggest party u must unite the whole world which now as it stands is just fractions scattered around.When he will make it whole again maybe he will make it one piece again..
10:49 song is Feels like I'm Going Crazy - Tigerblood Jewel
Thank you !!
Actually i think his name silver has to with long john silver, from the famous book treasure island. Who was also quarter master to a famous pirate who hid his treasure. One peice makes alot of refrences to treasure island.
Spoiler
So funny how when he was speaking about luffy being the person gol was waiting for he put the clip of him saying “joyboy” that was so perfect yet not on purpose pure coincidence
Damn I was watching the same ep
What is that song at 10:50 after you say Rayleigh is the dark King then the music increases in volume
The song is dope and fits perfectly with the scenes of Rayleigh. Makes it look so badass.
Amazing video but i can't get over the fact that rayleigh's pant changed from brown to green in an instant at 5:47 , another level of haki i suppose XD .
It means zoro's demonic presence is going to eventually evolve into the dark king.
Rayleigh was the fourth strongest in the world when he was in his prime. Only above him his Captain and his Rivals.
Probably he is THE LEGENDARY JOYBOY!!!! 🧐😱😱🤯
