Note: During time skip Nami landed on a skyisland.On it there are scientists that study the weather.They spread water among islands with water shortages.
Well they sure didnt help alabasta
@@yusted1 alabasta has been fine since 4000 years ago.
Its only when crocodile appear that they have shortage
@@elcalabozodelandroide2alabasta wasn't fine they had to use that powder to make it rain
And even if it was fine those people would have to check on all islands regularly because even 1 year without rain is catastrophic not to mention that alabasta had no rain for 3 YEARS!!
@@Kambydayno they didn’t actually use powder 😭
Who said that???
@@yusted1that's because crocodile was preventing rain because he has a weakness against any type of liquid
A thing to note - Grand line doesn't lie at the equator. It crosses it at the 45° angle. The poles are in the middle of North and South Blues, not on the Red line.
I was gonna say this myself, but ya beat me to it, although, given what was said im not sure the outlook is a whole lot better still
well, this is a relatively new info from the manga. even the anime depicted it wrong at first.
@@batcheethebug6197the anime got it wrong but it’s always been consistent in the manga
The accurate depiction of the globe is even in the last couple of minutes of the video!
I don't know how someone could've made such a mistake
@@nace4803 It is a very common mistake.
I’m surprised that Matpat didn’t bring up the fact that the world of One Piece has been calculated to be 2.7 times the size of earth.
There is a quote that's floating around stating it's 10x.
But either way it's a lot larger than earth.
THen you have people that don't understand how math works calculating One Piece is nearly the size of the sun ... which... come on man just traveling oceans that size would take years without jet engines so clearly that's not correct.
10x is at least possible even if that does feel perhaps a tad too large.
@@metazoxan2 the one piece world is definitely not the size of the sun but your point doesn’t prove that. If the planet was bigger we can just assume that everyone and everything on the planet is bigger
@@reubenkaimacuata1795not really no. There are characters heights and weights data available for at least the main cast. Even if not you could at least gauge how they are based on their looks.
So how is it calculated?
theres a lot of inconsistencies when trying to work out the size of the one piece planet. ive seen calculations done that place it at: 2-3x the size; 10x the size, and at the extremes, either 3,000x the size, or 0.0015x the size
0.0015 is the only one i remember the reasoning for, i think the first time the sunny used coup de burst, they flew 1km away, and there wasnt anything in sight from before they used it, indicating that the horizon on the planet is at most 1km away, (a planet with a 1km horizon would have a radius of roughly 10km, unlike earths 6,000km)
i think the general consensus though, is that the one piece world is somewhat bigger than earth, just not know how much bigger
"If the world were real it'd be dangerous, disastrous, and ruin any attempt to better your life" It's pretty much exactly like that in the show too
I mean tbh I think that also describes our world lol
i mean there are people who can end your life without thinking about it
I'm surprised that Matpat never touched on the fact that every Island in the Grand Line has its own individual magnetic field and climate surrounding it. I don't know much about that type on science but I thought for sure that it would have interesting implications if carried over to the real world.
Magnesium and other magnetic rocks buddy
Ignoring the fact that the One Piece world would have to be shrunk 9x over to even be near comparable to our planet. XD
i think that kind of thing is why he was avoiding this series lol
@@greywolf9783 dude, it's not that magnetism is something that we cannot comprehend, the shocking thing would be having such a massive land mass that causes such magnetic fields that they override how Compasses work.
Having such massive magnetic fields would be astronomically different to the real world
@@kirakyuti5946its bigger actually by 2.7x
A couple of things matt didnt mention:
- one piece planet has 6 moons to effect the tide
- the planet is huge, alabasta is the size of australia based on canon measurements, and theres still a vast amount of ocean around it with the calm belt not in sight
It had 6 moon once probably (from the Ohara model). But in the current timeline, there is only one moon (where enel went and HQ of space pirates).
Also, there are quite a few references to the phases of the moon there for different planning (raid,...). Oda also draws different phases of the moon.
So, it is yet to be seen.
Where does it say Alabasta is about the size of Australia? Not negating that fact, just curious.
Their was a measurement in a Wano chapter and if you measure Wano by that measurement it means Wano is the size of Earth itself
@flusel4949 it is from the measurement of the sandora river which which vivi states is 50km wide. Usopp asked her how far to the other side (of where they are currently crossing) indicating she wasnt refering to the river's mouth but the "thinner" sections inside the country. For reference australia is 4,000km wide from east to west, so just 80 sandora rivers side by side would cover the whole continent
This was never confirmed, and it's far more likely that those "moons" are just other planets, its a heliocentric model.
Something he failed to realize is that we literally do have calm belts in real life. They're called doldrums, and the reason you never see them talked about is because ships avoid them due to the absence of wind. They ALSO stretch around the equator.
I didnt know this
Thanks
Please re-do the analysis with consideration that the grandline is not over the equator but actually at an angle as mentioned by Law somewhere around chapter 1000. It would be super interesting to see if the world would be more livable at least climate-wise. Love your videos!!!
Also One PIece's planet is larger than Earth and has deep sea currents to help transport water between quadrants.
I’m sure Matt hasn’t gotten around to all of one piece. I’m also sure that there are still more interesting details about the planet that haven’t been explored yet. So trying to make a one piece atlas isn’t possible yet. Also don’t forget the civilization in the clouds, I’m sure that effects the climate of the planet too.
Yea he clickbaited and he hasnt gotten enough knowledge yet
The four oceans being almost completely separated is even a plot point, Sanji’s dream is to find the All Blue, the one point in the world where they mix
So the middle part of the streams through the red line?
@@choboibigly6565 Something like that, there’s supposed to be an actual part of the ocean where all the seas mix somewhere in the world, idk if that means there’s a break in the red line somewhere or what
and places like Gyiogin island that go under the red line , is possible that there are more places like that but doesnt have a full civilization living there because for Gyiogin island is only posible because of the grove trees in sabaody
@@choboibigly6565There are theories about the Red Line and Grand Line being unnatural forms of landscape, so destroying them will create the All Blue
@@GoldenCHRI don't think that's the case
1. The all blue is rumored to be an already existing place
2. Didn't sanji say the all blue contains fish that can't be found anywhere else? Does that mean destroying the red and grand line would just spawn in these fish?
You're forgetting a crucial detail, there, MatPat! It's true that the mountains in California cast a rain shadow over the regions to the east, but that region is almost entirely dry land. If the world of One Piece is 90% water, then most of the area affected by the 'rain shadow' will be ocean. Almost all rain that falls on land starts in the ocean. While the area won't be receiving moisture from the west, it will have its own ocean to contribute moisture to the air.
Was going to bring this up - every planet is basically its own micro continent
Moreover the dirn of wind assumed by matpat is wrong as he assumed grandline at equator but rather ints in middle of East and West blue so the wind from middle of West blue will hit the middle of East blue changing
Growing up is realizing MatPat is an idiot who has no idea what he's talking about in like 99% of his videos. Dunning-Kreuger effect at its finest.
Honestly, this point is really weak... Does he really believe all the moisture would be trapped on the eastern half of the island. As if the west wouldn't have it's own wind and ocean currents. Like you said only planets in the vicinity of the red line would face this issue. Not even taking into account that areas in the grand line would probably have ways around this do to it's wacky weather system.
also the limited range of this effect regardless. seems like a huge stretch.
The live action version was amazing. Much better than what I initially expected.
IT NASTY BOI
disgusting
I loved it
It's fine
they actually have water purifiers in episode 68 and 69 Nami says to Usopp "can you purify the water im going to take a shower"
"If the world of One Piece were real, it would be dangerous, disastrous, and it would and it would ruin basically any attempt to better your life" That's the One Piece we know and love.
Frfr
Best comment here!!!!😂❤
would it really? i'm sure their scientists will understand the physics of their world and make things better. i mean, look at what vegapunk did.
@@Dave_of_Mordor Tbf Vegapunk is a MASSIVE exeption, being a naturally gifted genius who also happened to get a hold of the Brain-Brain fruit, and it's explicitly pointed out that Egghead Island is 500 years ahead of the rest of the world, so the general tech level we see in OP is still definiately the standard,
I came here for this comment! It's like Matt patt based everything on a quick read of wiki and never watched it. Yeah, one price is a nightmarish world! It's awful! It has not redeeming qualities outside of the few good people The strawhats are lucky enough to survive!
I think something interesting to add to this is that water politics is a very real thing in one piece (Alabasta) where the access to water was as central plot point or the more recent raising of the water levels in both the more recent events in the manga or water 7 sinking
Your probably correct but from where I am up to in the series (Start of Alabasta) doesn’t it mention that only Alabasta or Alabasta was really the only one suffering from drought (only major one).
@@theorytree842 it was mentioned that if Alabasta used dance powder the neighboring countries would also suffer from drought due to clouds raining on Alabasta.
This would mean that rain is there only source of fresh water and that there isn't much (otherwise rivers and lakes would have formed, allowing them to be more independent from rain)
Also, Alabasta is literally thousands of kilometers away from any other island and yet replenishing the country in water would need require to dry up the sky enough to cause droughts to those same neighboring countries that are thousands of kilometers away.
But I don't think it was mentioned other than in this arc.
@@Cipher_Paul The drought was artificially created
@@MoikasTV you missed the point
@@Cipher_Paul I didn't get to that part yet, I only knew that the Old Man didn't want it to be known because it was illegal. But if every country has the powder, then wouldn't it be alright. Supply and Demand would go crazy though.
In Episode 56, a fisherman tells Sanji that the currents from other seas bring fish from all seas to Loguetown in the East Blue, explaining why there are so many of a particularly rare species. So according to the show, all of the seas are connecting more than we think
The revelation of the existence of deep sea currents in fishman island supports the idea.
logue town is the all blue.
"No technology advancement " vegapunk : Am i a joke to you ?
A few corrections: 1. One Piece world's regional weather has a much more significant effect on the climate than global monsoons, for example, Little Garden is a tropical island, the one near it, Drum Island is a tundra, and Alabasta is a desert. 2. There are global deep water current systems explained in the Fish-man Island arc that connect the world's oceans other than the Reverse Mountain.
One of the weirdest natural phenomena in the One Piece world is the fact that there is breathable air as far out as the moon, shown in Enel's (lightning god guy) coverage story.
He said uow it would be in real life I see your reasoning tho
Littlegarden has also had stagnant conditions for so long that dinosaurs still live on it.
Thank you. I watched this felt like i didn’t wanna a watch it but now i do thanks to u. Thx
what if the one peice world was real that means REALISTIC no crazy magic just REALISTIC.
@@imfruitysthen it wouldn’t be world it would be what if the one piece map is realistic since the one piece world already have solutions for most of the problems
I've always wanted mat to make a theory about Zoro's biteforce
More people should like this tbh, this would make a great video
I want to know how zoro flipped his mouth sword backwards in his live action fight against Morgan
Or, honestly, (if I'm getting this right and didn't somehow manage do horribly mix up the characters) how does this dude get so lost? Like bros showed up in different animes
Gotta have something to do with the anger he must feel when he sees minorities lol, IYKYK
@@ryleafdoesgacha3944it's fan stuff he doesn't actually,however he does always get lost tho.
I have a feeling most of the “errors” Mat finds has already been given in world explanations by either the manga or Oda himself.
I know it's unlikely but I really hope Mattpat does more one piece theories I absolutely love both film theory and one piece
A couple things:
1) The OP world is significantly larger than Earth, there's videos you can find where people have done the calcs (shout out Tekking101).
2) The Red Line & Grand Line intersect at a 45 degree angle (forming an "X" on the planet) as opposed to N-S then E-W.
3) There are powerful deep ocean currents in the OP world that are able to move water back and forth between the seas.
I love op world building
not to mention, the population is significantly less dense, so food and water supplies are typically not going to be an issue on pretty much any island.
yearp
also parts of the world are affected by devil fruit users so extreme heats for example isnt a thing when aokiji can casually freeze part of the sea equal to the mediterrean see just to go around with a bike
Id like to ask: how is is possible for the water to get from one sea to another if the calm belt prevents it? It cant be both calm and strong currents.
Ok. I've seen countless videos where they get it wrong - even including a recent Tekking101 video btw. No one in the comments EVER mentions it, and it drives me insane every time lol. Why don't people normally realize that for the North Blue to be in the north and for the South Blue to be in the south the Grand Line can't be the equator, it seems so obvious xD
Also why does this comment section get at it right??
You know it’s a great day when matpat makes a one piece theory
this is litterally the plot of Alabasta
he 100% got sponsored by netflix for this
You know its a cool theory when im-
Or a theory that actually uses science like he used to, before it was all 'lore'.
@@blackauaclearly you Just started watching
Ma man predicted it as always ggs man
The problem with his theory is the scope of the mountains compared to the size of the world in OP. There are mountains near most coasts but obviously inland enough there are rampant winds hence why the bread basket of America is famous for tornados. Similarly, for OP, if the islands in the east blue are similarly far away, they wouldn't be affected by his theory as exemplified by the rain in Logue town
Yeah he's acting like half the planet would jsut NEVER get rain which ... does the think all rain would exclusively come from the west side and get stopped by the mountain?
I would get behind a rainless area around the red line but ... that's a bit much.
P.S. He also missed the fact there are underwater currents connecting the world's oceans. The ecosystems are still relatively independant but the transportation of water temperature does happen. THis was added as a fact much later in the series so it's possible someone told Olda some of the geological problems with his map and he set out to fix them.
The rain shadow affect does not apply to islands. The moisture that is removed in the rain shadow affect comes from the ocean which they are all surrounded by. If it was all land on the other side of the redline it would apply but since it’s immediately more ocean it has no bearing. Also this over abundance of ocean would lead to regular rain storms which may be where most of these lands get their water from.
except it would still create some kind of shadow, like the closest islands wouldn't get that much rain.
@@palmtv3538the funny part is they would actually get more as thunderstorms and hurricanes and such would crash into the red line dumping massive amounts of water on the nearby islands to the wall 😅
@@palmtv3538but the red line is on a 45° angle, it’s not the equator.
doesn’t the first major arc take place in a desert? the world has clouds thick enough to live on and water strong enough to launch continents so i’m sure the weather is equally accommodating and the rest as u said
@enishi4ty5 that desert is most caused by a guy using something(really can't remember honestly) that makes very specific areas rain. While that sounds good it has the negative that everything surrounding that area of rain gets almost zero rain. So it's like a sprinkler, if you disconnect the actual sprinkler part only a small section gets water, but with the sprinkler part a large section gets water, Albeit it's basically the opposite
I truly hope there is more One Piece content coming from Film Theory! I screamed so loud when I got this notification! Been waiting for years for Matpat to talk about this amazing series
ME TO MAN
yes you are right
same here
just wait untill he finds out how much lore one piece realy has
Same
Matpat I love all your theory's but as someone who is a One Piece fan the extremely cold and snowy/the extremely hot and dry lands are exactly what we see in Drum Island and Alabasta! Plus I guess we just aren't going to talk about how big the One Piece world is with Big Mom being 28 ft tall and Oars that big red giant demon thing is about 208 ft tall...which means that the One Piece world is WAY bigger than ours...which means the water percentage is like 70 maybe even 60% water considering how big it is,the lands would also have to be big. I still love your theory's though this is not hate just me explaining some things hope it helps!
Later matpat, you will be missed by all
Most if not all points had been already answered either in the Manga or by Oda. Theres solutions already in place for all of that, the fresh water, the grand line and calm belts. And i dont want it to sound like im bashing the theorist team, i love the fact that you guys decided to do a theory on this. I just hope next time you let the theory cook a bit longer or collab with another channel that studies One Piece because it truly is a whole world of its own that takes a lot of time to fully grasp
I mean, it was just an obvious cash grab, cause the One Piece Netflix show is coming in 2-3 days. When I saw the 10 minute video I just instantly knew they were just doing it to milk the upcoming audience looking for one piece content to watch
@@SarcasticSloth69 Didn't realize the Netflix show is coming so soon.
Honestly In between the quality being noticeably worse, the show coming within a couple days and the way shorter length you're more than likely right. Didn't think of that. I just thought the theorist team dropped the ball a little bit here.
@@SarcasticSloth69I thought it was coming out today?
@@xdrago5602just came out actually
Glad to see to guys tackling One Piece! It's literally a treasure trove of theories. Being a one piece fan myself I can tell you from experience that every week whenever a chapter drops it's always constant discussion on what might happen in the next chapters, what's the next arc is gonna be, literally a gold mine of theories here
One Piece is the best series to follow if you're into theories and analysis.
just read chapter One Piece Chapter 1113. I think this theory might be correct
It’s not at all correct.
5:58 this explains the desert section in gta 5
I actually love this theory’s conclusion because there is an implication of old technology being far more advanced and the world being post apocalyptic in more recent chapters like the world somehow had some sudden shift and everything was forgotten
This was a thing since we found out about Robin's past and Ohara's demise.
@@ssjokg4952There's always been a hint or foreshadowing about it but never been 100% confirmed until we met Vegapunk.
@@ssjokg4952no , what we know from cp9 arc (Robin arc)
Was the existence of a long forgotten history (void century)
Up until ….. (spoiler warning)
.

Up until egghead arc (vegapunk arc)
We now know that the void century had a certain kingdom had a technological advancement until it was lost to the 20 kingdom
And then they made what we now know as the world government
@@bara3526 The kingdom and its advanced(for the world of OP) tech was known before vegapunk's arc.
What we didnt know was that is even surpassed Vegapunk's creations.
@@bara3526nah we knew the old kingdom had advanced tech we just didn’t know the extent of it
ONE PIECE?! What an unexpected episode of Film Theory! Much love to the content!!❤
Probably cuz of one piece Netflix
for that sweet sweet possible sponsors
@DJILMarioBrosOfficialdone.
@DJILMarioBrosOfficial no
@@gwenpicchi5719you just got scammed
7:41 Basically a Horse Latitude named after the fact that Viking Discoverers used to Maroon thier Horses to lose weight to even row and move in those latitudes because there's no wind.
The equator isn’t at the grand line, this video is completely destroyed
2:09 Matpat didnt need to jumpscare me like that
Yes
Cashing in on that live action hype, I respect it.
@@Drybones2015it’s mutual. I’m thankful for matpat also bringing attention to it.
THE ONE PIECE IS REALLLLLLL
Can we get much higher
Surprised that matpat didn't talk about the fact that every island on the grandline has it's own magnetic field.
But that's not true though, is it?
@@graemebarnes3445 yea it is thats why the log ports work as far as i know
@@Coroln magnetic field. not gravity
@@graemebarnes3445 oh yea my brain somtimes xD
Magnetic field not gravitational field.
It could be argued that that was made by design, the world government wants to consolidate power and technology and with all the power/magic systems in One Piece they could have resorted to making it happen so the world would be like that. We also know that a character has a title of "continent puller", we don't know why and this could just be the reason.
i Appreciate your take on this sir.
On a note, you can see the different climates of the blues. The North Blue is known to be always cold, the South Blue is known to be tropical and East and West Blue are pretty diverse in the climate with normal seasons
Ive never been more heartbroken by matt patt he really use real world logic without taking account for the size or the way the world of one piece works😭
I completely agree
Not really the point of the video
Because it makes perfect sense in the world of one piece because that's how it was written
(Also, I'm saying this as someone who is on the Hazzard punk arc)
@@1sthename70 I see your perspective coming from Punk Hazard but I do believe that it doesn't make sense his point about currents is flat-out wrong as explained by Fishman Island the arc before Punk Hazard if he is trying to say that our world suddenly has the geography and ONLY geography of one piece he is correct but one piece has so many factors like the world being possibly artificially made and bringing into account the one piece population being likely significantly smaller because of the confirmed smaller planet/continents the fresh water should be easily sustainable (spoiler ahead) not to mention vegapunks inventions which are hundreds of years advanced would not struggle with draining salt from water to make it fresh.
i havent even hit the time skip im at impel down right before luffy gets to jinbei i already know about what happens i like spoilers its why i cant tolerate long shows and manga@@1sthename70
I don't think Vegapunks Tech is widely available, but yeah the population is a whole lot smaller then it is on our planet. I think there are just some hundert to a few thousand people per Island (give or take the size and all that). @@Dicktator13
Definitely need a video on devil fruits, like... what are the chances you will come across one? And is there a way to figure out what type it is before you eat it?
I’ve been waiting for you to do this for 5 years .
7:00 there's a problem with the Rain Shadow you mentioned. All that ocean water the winds go over will rehydrate the air very rapidly. Only the closest islands will be affected.
Exactly what I was thinking. Also the shadow wouldn't go over half the globe anyway. I mean not all of america after that one mountainrange is a dessert
@@89taklung and even if matpat assumed it would go over half the globe, it makes no sense, since the redline is on both sides of the world. the entire video is full of holes and faulty logic
I was about to point this all out, happy to see others catching it before me.
and funnily enough one of the first islands is Alabasta the desert kingdom xD
His crew isn't looking for the one piece they just helping him pursue his dream to find it. They all have their own dream that they strive to achieve on the journey.
I thought luffys dream isnt even about the one piece cause why else would it be so secretive if its just that one thing
@@fullmetalx644 You're kinda right. We don't know his dream exactly ( I believe that the theory is he wants pure freedom), but all he said was finding/obtaining the one piece was the first part. If I'm wrong feel free to correct me it's been a while since I've watched new episodes because I'm rewatching it with my little brother
@@marcedun1636 Well he wants to be the King of Pirates, his logic is:
The late KoP, Gold Rogers have his biggest treasure which is One Piece hidden somewhere, so everyone searching for it just for value reason.
But for Luffy, he wants to be KoP, and if he can find OP, which is the one that belong to the former KoP, he would become one.
@@marcedun1636 What you have to remember is Luffy wants to be the Pirate King. His goal is to pursue the One Piece, not to find the One Piece. Freedom is not found at the end of a journey. Freedom is the path you take along the way.
in his fight with kaido he says he wants to make a world where his friends can eat as much as they want and i have reason to believe his wish isnt far off from that statement when kaido asked what kind of world he wanted to create
2:04 hello person here from after the LA came out. If was SO GOOD! I was pleasantly surprised to how good it was lol. It was a great adaptation, very happy
Video Suggestion: Make a video about the Animated Series Total Drama!
I loved the points Matpat made in the video, but as a die hard One Piece can ima have to put in my two cents. Something he neglected to mention, the One Piece world is nearly 3 times larger than earth, so the effects mentioned in the video wouldn’t be as nearly as drastic as if they were to happen in the real world. I think Oda did perfect portrayed the actual struggles perfectly, the islands visited could easily be justified with logic.
Wouldn't made the effects much more drastic tho?
It means less of the planet is being directly heated by the sun thus the red and great calm line blocking the currents more important than if the planet were smaller
@@lookatthepicture4107 If the world in One Piece is that large even something the height of the Grand Line would act like a much smaller bump to block the wind. Increase in gravity means the atmosphere is likely to extend much higher than the earth's.
Ocean to cloud coverage is a bit difficult to make hard predictions for, as far as I know. Basically, more ocean to land doesn't mean less rainfall, it likely means *more* rainfall. And while the wind crossing the red line *would* dehydrate the down-wind air, it's still over a great ocean, the drying effect is going to be very temporary. Combine that with the massively larger scale, someone has made the argument that just one area is the size of earth, another one pointed out that a river on one island was 50km wide, putting that island on the scale of Australia. And now here the claim that the world is ~3 times larger.
I don't know which claim is more correct, but even on an Earth scale version of this planet I don't foresee too much drought downwind of the red line. Frankly, unless I'm mistaken it has more to do with the position of the planet within their suns Goldilock Zone than the percentage of ocean to landmass. Granted, I could very well be wrong here. I'm sure an actual meteorologist would have more nuanced opinion about it.
It just seems like you have to specifically replace Earth's land distribution to that of One Piece to get the very specific results being discussed. And I still find that questionable. Just look at Earths history, what did Pangea look like for instance? Being one super continent it put the "salty oceans" further away from the coasts, yet it was arid and hot for large periods of time. The lack of nearby ocean to form clouds would have an effect on the interior.
And all of this doesn't really effect the chance of it being something that could exist. All you need is the right balance of sun to water, and throw in a few evolutions in plants, fungi, and bacteria that take advantage of the salty coast lines and you could have a perfectly working eco system.
The discussion is more along the lines of, what if we terraformed Earth to look like One Piece.
3 times larger in diameter/radius, surface area, or volume?

Note: the rain shadow effect won't happen to every island since all the islands in one piece is almost surrounded by water, which means almost every island is getting moisture air and so all islands in one piece is lush green as shown in the series
I was looking for this comment. That section literally made me lose all respect for any of the other points mentioned on the video. Ridiculous, barely surface level research, and immediately into overblown conjecture that destroys all coherence of the 'theory'.
exactly that rain shadow comment mat pat made makes no sense since there is ocean on the other side of the planet too

Matpat doing a theory about a series that both the fan base and the author have put 25 years of thought into. This can only end so well.
He could have made a prediction on what some of One Piece's future storylines might turn out to be and they would've been way better

I have a feeling 100% of this theory doesn't account for the fact that YOU CAN FIT 4 EARTHS INSIDE OF THE ONE PIECE PLANET! the place is huge and there are islands like Alabasta which, despite being a desert, ARE INSANELY HUGE!
1 earth for every blue
Exactly what I was gonna say
Yeah this video definitely doesn't account for that it seems like he's running on the assumption that the world of One piece is as big as earth, when it's massively bigger than earth there are multiple calculations that vary
That just makes the effects worse not better
@primeyoriichi
Did you forgot about the Red line, Wano Geand Line, New World?
Came back to this video just to say that I think another FMA theory would be amazing (may I suggest a theory about Xerxes, the town that got wiped out)
Finally, I’ve been waiting for this!
I hope there's a follow-up post/video addressing a lot of the holes in this video that so many others have already pointed out. I love Matpat and everyone on the theorist team for what they make, but this one definitely shouldve been left to cook for far longer before trying to theorize in such a well established fandom/theorizing scene 😅.
Hopefully, if they make another One Piece video, they right these wrongs because i love them *and* this story so so much, i just want them to 'get along nicer,' in a sense.
Agreed, and well written. I felt a little sorry that One Piece got so much shade in this one (i.e. "if One Piece was at all realistic" mentioned like 3 times). A little more time in the oven could've included Alabasta, even offhand in the script, the All-Blue, the temperature there when actually seeing it as a diagonal planet, maybe some questions about gravity
this the one 🤞🏽 sorry matpat, love you to death but this one needs work for sure
its because none of the team really watches that much one piece.
He didn't bother to do one for Genshin, so I wouldn't expect one for One Piece.
Ngl. This one made me miss Austin! 😢 Nice that he wanted to jump on the topic but this definitely felt like a hype chase than a theory. Gl Netflix on the new show
I mean, considering that the first few islands that Luffy's group visits after crossing the Red Line are a barren, rocky desert region, a factory on barren rock filled with dangerous and experimental chemicals, and how it specifically states that many islands are ininhabitable directly east of the Red Line, I think the authors and producers actually did a great job portraying that specific struggle.
it's not quiet that simple, the first few islands they come across are: a barren island where nothing grows, pre-historic jungle climate, arctic climate and then desert. In One Piece every island and it's surroundings have a completely distinct climate.
I think people forget that in One Piece people literally can live on clouds or even MOON lol (Enel succeded going into the moon and met space pirates there) so with that in mind, technically there's oxygen on onepiece outer space .

@@NeroPiromanThat’s about 1 kilometer less deep than the Mariana Trench, though since Fishman Island still has sunlight, and because we have actually seen deep sea areas in One Piece like The Underworld of the Sea, this means the One Piece ocean is *FAR* deeper than any real world ocean

i genuinely learned a lot from this video
I feel like MatPat just dived into this because it’s a popular franchise
Matpat you missed a crucial part of the one-piece world that the north, east ,west and south seas are called that way because they are in that direction and the redline doesn't divide the globe in north-south direction rather in a diagonal way from northeast to southwest and vice-versa for the grandline, while it might not make any difference for the theory (maybe) but makes a huge difference in how the weather might work as the heat distribution will change drastically meaning the east n west seas might not be as inhabitable as they seem and this is backed by the characters in the show itself ,for example when the map of the world is shown in the show. Also the size of the planet makes a big impact on everything else it has. I hope you see this and think about it and I hope to see the next videos to be a bit more accurate. And don't feel bad I actually loved the video just thought that I should point out this thing even though it might not be that big or cause an significant impact. Hope you have a great day and keep making videos on one-piece.
It's definitely a very forgivable mistake since a lot of long time fans of One Piece have missed the orientation of the world being as it is, it's just easier to think of the Grandline being on the Equator because of how we tend to compare anime world to the Earth 🤔
I think everything in the video is all wrong. Matpat needs to research meteorology/climatology/whatever and oceanic currents in far more depth. It looks like he didn't at all, no exaggeration.
I think this is the worst of matpat's attempts at a "science" vid. It has been a while since he made something so fallacious.
@@homerman76 Really? The first time I picked up One Piece, it was pretty evident that a full trip through the entirety of the Grand Line would bring you to the backside of Reverse Mountain by design. That's how circles work. And conveniently, the Grand Line and Red Line form the iconic X to mark the spot.
Also, we hear pretty early that East Blue is considered the "easiest" sea, whereas North and South are generally considered the "hardest". It would make sense for the equatorial East and West seas to have it considerably easier than the polar capped North and South seas.
@@Jason75913 in what ways was he wrong? Like not being rude or anything, genuinely curious at the points he made completely wrong science wise.
@@Jason75913 how so? one piece is already wacky on its own and trying to bring any real world subjects to it will more often that not fail to work anyways. I mean, he didn't even mention the sea beasts under the calm belt nor the log poses.
How did he not talk about the fact that each island in the grandLine comes equipped with its own totally isolated climate, complete with their own seasonal pattern that operates completely independent of the islands or even the sea around it?
Cause they put no time or effort into this vid lol, he talked abt their being no currents connecting the 4 seas but failed to tell that the red line has holes under it allowing currents to connect
Cause he doesn't care about One Piece it's just a video to milk the people that just got into One Piece via the Live action
@@indominusblade3exactly. He didn't even mention the warm eddy currents or whitestrom that can u send to you any part of globe if you end up getting caught in it.
I totaly would like to see more one piece theories like this one in this channel
I watched the Live Action show, its amazing btw, and I thought how they have so much food all the time. The no drinkable water is also plausible because there is no one ever that drinks just a glass of water, only alcoholic beverages and tea and stuff. And I think Oda didn't think alot about the planets design so that he can add new places as the show goes on. Except maybe that its an X were in the middle of it is definetly the One Piece, X marks the spot. but there are two X so Idk
I would figure that all of the islands would see rain quite often as they are all surrounded by water. His theory on the rain shadow would only work if there wasn’t a giant body of water on the other side of a mountain range, so I think Matt dropped the ball there.
With pretty consistent rainfall, they would use rain collectors and large storage tanks as a way to get fresh water supplies. Matt is right that you can’t tap underwater springs for water on most islands, but there should be plenty of rain and also plenty of trade ships to transport things like food and water as well.
Lets not forget that the islands on the grand line pretty much have their own climates. Drum Drum island is like the polar ice caps where water 7 is like a very nice vacation town and little garden is like stuck in the prehistoric age with the climate to match.
The researchers for this episode dropped the ball, as noted by everyone else in the comments. And there are entire continent sized islands of desert, Alabaster. But sure there are also floating islands once populated by an alien humanoids, and even with their technology, they’re practically an endangered species. So I guess the theory hold that the world it to hostile for anyone not from there to survive.
As a decades long One Piece fan I was happy to see Team Theorist finally do something on One Piece. Seeing all the comments, I'm wondering if I should just skip this video if the quality of the video seems to be as far off from what is basic understanding of the One Piece world as this comment section implies.
I have to agree. I understand that there are a lot of episodes, but I can't help but feel like the only thing to actually come directly from the show was the map of the world (which you can pretty much just google). No mention of Alabasta even, which is literally the first major arc, would fit well in the context of the desert/rain shadow effect, and would give some credit to the writers. Instead it was just "if One Piece was at all realistic" shade :(
Don't forget IT'S JUST A THEORY A FILM THEORY!
You should remove your massive spoiler from your comment seeing as tons of people are about to get into this series for the first time and this will likely be one of the first videos they watch.
@@jaredrak6003 I don't think he meant it as shade, he never said it being cartoonish was a bad thing. Its obviously a cartoon following cartoon logic- he was simply curious what it'd look like if it had real world science applied to it. But yeah totally agree the researchers missed a bit here.
Super excited for this crossover video
I'm currently watching the introduction to Big Maama's Introduction,
That's strikingly similar to Disney's 1940s and 1950s anime style when i saw the musical 😅
As happy as I am that you guys finally did a One Piece theory, I wish you had more. It would be so interesting in seeing you trying to piece everything together. Maybe doing videos with prominent One Piece theorists if you happen to do more on One Piece
One piece lore is crazy if they did a theory would be awesome might be hard to read all the chapters and watch all the anime in a month though XD
That would overtake the number of FNAF theory videos lol
One hour of one piece theory is not even enough
I agree that the Calm Belts would be devastating for the ecosystems all over the One Piece world, but I think you're forgetting one key factor when discussing the effect of the Red Line. When the sea winds coming in off the Pacific are stopped by the Cascade Mountains, it turns the other side of the Cascades into a massive desert because that area is a vast stretch of land with very little water of its own, therefore it can't sustain a normal cycle of evaporation and precipitation. However, in the case of the Red Line, the area where the rain shadow would be located is yet another vast ocean that covers half the planet, so that water would be able to evaporate normally and return to the surface as rain. (By the way, even if it DID work the way you described, it wouldn't affect EVERYTHING east of the Red Line; the rain shadow wouldn't extend all the way to where the Red Line crosses again so half of the planet would be barren no more than the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains renders everything to their east inhospitable. Of course the area immediately to the east of the Cascades is desert, and its effect extend as far as the western parts of Texas and Oklahoma, but beyond that are very fertile and thriving plains and forests that reach almost all the way to the Atlantic. The rain shadow would only effect at most one-quarter of the area to the east of the Red Line, and this would not be exclusively in the East Blue, South Blue, and the Paradise half of the Grand Line; you're not thinking in three dimensions. at the other end of those three seas, we would find the prevailing east-blowing winds being stopped by the Red Line and unable to reach the North Blue, West Blue, and New World, so that area would also experience a rain shadow the same as the eastern end of the others, but this is all rendered moot, as I said, because there is plenty of water there for its own evaporation/precipitation cycle.) And I won't even go into how a degree of weather control has been figured out in the One Piece world as covered in the Alabasta Arc.
As for the lack of fresh water, just think about this. People develop technologies that solve problems, with the biggest problems being the highest priority. Because the need for fresh water would have been a VERY large problem (probably the biggest problem in the One Piece world), it would have be the focus of many a scientist and inventor, so I have no doubt whatsoever that desalination technology has not only been developed, but is in fact commonplace and has been refined and streamlined far beyond what the real world has since invention is driven by need. Furthermore, because the need is so prevalent, I am sure that many people have developed desalination technology independent of each other and/or have built on the technology invented by others. In short, for such a common need, it wouldn't even be possible for the wealthy to hoard the desalination technology as someone else would just invent it on their own again and again until it is finally created by someone altruistic enough to share it with the whole world freely (and since we know for a fact that the One Piece world has been in its current state and occupied by "civilized" people with the same approximate technological level for AT LEAST the last 800 years, not to mention the Void Century and the higher technology they had then, it is entirely feasible for that to have happened by now).
In other words, the only major climatological issue would be the Calm Belts, and depending on EXACTLY how far they reach, there could still be tropical waters beyond them that would allow for currents to spread warmer waters. I personally agree with the theory that the One Piece world is tilted on an axis that places the poles in the North and South Blue, respectively, meaning the equator, rather than following the Grand Line, would go through the middle of the East and West Blue while allowing the southern tips of the North Blue and the northern tips of the South Blue to extend well into the tropical regions. In essence, the Red line and the Grand Line would for a giant X. How much of the North and South Blue extend into tropical waters is still dependent upon the breadth of the Grand Line and the Calm Belts, but on MOST of the maps Oda has drawn in the series it doesn't seem SUPER wide, so I think it should work out.
Sorry this ended up so long, but I just had to address some important holes in your theory.
Thank you. I think this is definitely what needs to be said. I hope more people see your comment.
Why does this comment get so few likes, I fully agree with you! You probably read the book Sapiens. Since the entire map is tilted and the points you mentioned none of his theory really makes sense
The whole poles 'theory' isn't a theory in the first place - it's been confirmed for more than 25 years. I don't know how matpat missed such basic information while doing research in the first place.
I know very little about the One Piece world, though it fascinates me, and I had many thoughts exactly the same as yours from a world building perspective. I don't think it would necessarily be as harsh with desert vs winter wasteland as said in Mat's video, the tilted axis seems like it would have effects too like you say. Desalination tech would definitely be a super high priority for such a culture, lacking in natural fresh water. Loved the discussion prompted by the video, but glad I wasn't the only one thinking there are other solutions and possibilities. Even in the real world, there are places such as Montana/Alberta that, although on the far side of the Cascades and drier than Oregon/British Columbia, are far from deserts. Though maybe that is another phenomena, or due to their latitude, I am no expert on any of these things...
@@culmination8206 I can tell you EXACTLY why my comment is getting so few likes. It's so long that few people want to read the whole thing. And I actually have not read Sapiens, though I am generally aware of it. But yeah, the Film Theorists' research people really dropped the ball on this one.
The world of One Piece has two different levels of islands, so the atmosphere must have many different humidity levels . I would assume that the sky islands would act like a heat and humidity dam .that means the weather fronts would just back up and eventually monsoons on the way word side . It's a fact happens every summer in Eastern Colorado.
Got a science lesson in this, thank you Matt 😊
Matpat may have just accidentally explained part of why the oceans are the way the are because One Piece's World Government literally aims to limit technological advancements.
and for people caught up with egghead it makes even more sense
yas queen
Too bad every other point he made in the video is factually wrong since the grand line is not the equator, it’s on an axis same with the red line.
The researchers dropped the ball on this ep. While yes the one piece island world would be a problem for earth sized planet, the one piece world is actually much more massive meaning these “small” islands would have enough water
Exactly

FRFR
Never did I expect to see a One Piece film theory. Please more, this opens up so much!
According to Vegapunk's last words in chapter 1,113, the One Piece world is literally sinking into the ocean. The special weapon used by the World Government against Lulusia raised the sea level by 1 meter globally. That's one out of 8 rebelling islands so the minimum rise is 8 meters. This rise in sea level only intensifies if more islands are destroyed. The gradual increase without destruction of islands still gets faster for unknown reasons. Maybe it's the phrase "the darkness will swallow light" due to the sunlight tree, Eve, being sealed in the Red Line. This might be related to the Great Flood that happened 900 years before the story. Or it maybe that the islands are literally sinking into the ocean. At Water 7, the scenario might be different due to the Aqua Laguna floods. Maybe the floods started due too Wano's walls dumping tons of rainwater into the ocean. The World Government's original plan might've been to seal the Sunlight tree, Eve, and to destroy the 5,000 year old tree of knowledge.
Thank you for everything and making my childhood ❤😢
Some notes:
1. Something that breaks this further is that the one piece world has been calculated to be 84% the size of our sun, meaning gravity would be extremely strong
2. All islands would receive moisture from the surrounding bodies of water, unlike the region of the United Sates which is completely blocked by mountains
3. Definitely watch One Piece. In the beginning, the number of episodes is daunting, but at the end you'll wish there were twice as many episodes (it is still going by the way at a rate of an episode every week, sometimes every 2.

Interestingly, the first major arc in the Grand Line (the stuff actually just East of the Red Line) DO take place on extremely arid islands where food and rainwater are scarce. A huge drought is the central conflict of the Alabasta saga, the first main one in the area MatPat talks about here. It may be just a coincidence, but maybe Oda considered some of this as well. 🤔
He definitely did. It's been throughout the entire series.
Course the drought was artificially created, but I get your point
The drought was caused by crocodile.
@@MoikasTV But Crocodile isn't responsible for the region's natural aridness. He's only responsible for stealing the thing that creates magical rain which was staving off the drought.
Matt, please make a film theory of what is the one piece treasure
I mean the rain shadow effect shouldn't matter that much for islands considering they're surrounded by water. Hard for a planetwide mountain range to cut access to moisture when your island is surrounded by water. It would stop moisture from one half of the planet from getting to the other but it's not like the other side doesn't have water of its own.
One thing to point out is that most island are about a few days away from the the redline so they really wouldn't get the rain shadow affected. Plus each ocean has a different air and water current kind of rotating within there own ocean
But the Red Line is immensely tall. Like the Olympus Mons on Mars.
I haven’t watched one piece, but this didn’t contain many spoilers, so the team did a great job, only shows you characters and tells you about locations
I’ve always wanted a film theory about One Piece!
Wealth, fame, power all things can be given to us by game theory
This is the sign for everyone who hasn't to watch One Piece. Watch it. Trust me. I was sceptical when I started, even dropped it twice, but after getting into it, it is EASILY my favorite piece of media (TV-shows, movies, books etc. included)

One Piece is my favorite piece of fiction of all time. I'm so happy that Matpat was able to cover it. If you haven't tried it I would DEFINITELY recommend it. If you feel its too long or anime isn't your thing the live action comes out next week
You can also look into a fan-cut called One Pace that snips out all the filler and unnecessary pacing issues, making it way more bingeable than the full anime imo
The manga is also a lot faster of a read if time is your issue
this is the best two things that have finally collided.
I just realized this is kinda close to what’s gonna happen
Kinda surprised matpat did do more one piece theories. With all the lore and mysteries. He should have a years worth of theories
I would love to see more episodes like this talking about the worldbuilding of One Piece. The Worldbuilding is not only one of the most important and beloved parts about the show, but also it's much less heavy to cover the worldbuilding in small pieces rather than the overloaded lore that would be ipossible to catch up on. And as long as you use these theories to strengthen this sort of love for the show, I also don't think the chance of upsetting any fans would be that high.
