But par ain't you going to talk about the spirit of the neda katishu connect to luffy, will luffy going to be a sword master like roger, if luffy going to loose his elasticity he could replace gummo no ability with sword art techniques
HERE ARE SOME THINGS I COULDN'T INCLUDE IN THE VIDEO: 1. Ryuma comfortability with Brooks moveset. It would make ALOT of sense if he was good with brooks french fencing style IF he had faced it in the past and possibly learned from his contemporary who could be the man behind shusui. 2. MINK is a WEASEL = Cavendish's Epithet 3. hmm there was like 3 other things, but i forgot at the moment and there will definitely be more support for this theory put into the context of OTHER theories because thats how this channel works!
This actually relates to why by it we’re saying about Laws secret name “Water”: D clan theory: Basically, we have 7 clans of D and 7 days of the week (which became relevant when we got Jaygarcia’s name or title as “Saturn”. I can’t remember the video I was watching but the guy said out of the blue, in a completely different context “Trafalgar Law’s secret name is water” which given how recently I’d heard the thing about Japanese days of the week, immediately clicked as important. Basically I’ve put together this list of potential D clan secret names which makes way too much sense to me. Monkey D. (Sun/light) Marshal D. (Moon/dark) Gol D. (Metal) Jaguar D. (Wood) Portgas D. (Fire) Rocks D. (Earth) Trafalgar D. Water And most of them have the hint in their name. Gold is a metal, port gas can be used to fuel a fire, rocks is well, Earth. Monkey and marshal are thematic to the story and trafalgar is known to be water. Jaguar has no particular link to wood other than the fact robin found him in the woods of Ohara which had the tree of knowledge, a very big wooden thing. Oh right I also think it would be cooler if Luffy was Monkey D. Light Luffy than Monkey D. Sun Luffy since he’s just such a delight Alright I know I'm supposed to be sleeping but this came to me while my mind was adrift And this just adds to my theory The will of D. Is the will of Day or Days The D clans could be the opposite or inversion of wanos moon clans The guardians of day to wanos guardians of night Law being a napoleon reference was also a distraction from the real meaning
Holy shit this is actually brilliant. Im learning japanese and just found out today about the thing with days in the week for japan so this hits harder
I think in 800 years the World Government surely tried to take over Wano at some point, they wouldn't let Wano with all the kairoseki and tresures just be a closed country. So what if the dragon that was defeated by Ryuma was someone from the World Government trying to seize Wano? Maybe an admiral or someone who had the fish fish fruit long before Kaido? Just a tought
i definitely like that idea. in my zoan awakening video, i discussed that potential as to why kaido didnt awaken in wano. i really do like the idea. after the void century, ryuma was the reason they were so afraid. the legends were enough, thats so scary
I like the idea of zoro having mink heritage. He’s heavily tied to animals as you mentioned. His mom’s name meaning “earth” also plays into his beast like nature. Zoro + Mink DNA + Mom’s name “Terra” = Son of the Earth Sanji + Lunarian DNA + Mom’s Name Sora = Son of the Sky Jinbe = Son of the Sea
In the early one shot Monsters that Oda made featuring Ryuma There was a swordsman who challenged Ryuma based on his looks he looks a lot like a European swordman He also resembles Mihawk a lot
I like the theory that maybe Rayleigh held the title of strongest Swordsman before Rayleigh. This is based on the Paisley Pattern that Mihawk has. Rayleigh has the Paisley pattern in the Oden Flashback. It's an interesting idea
Parvision, you told me to look forward to this video, and it's fantastic. I love how specific you got about countries, I think it's important to be precise because Oda would be with his research. And talking about colonialism is *essential* in understanding One Piece so I'm happy to see you touch on it. I'm sad it's the first time I've seen anyone talk about it. Another heavy subject I'd love to see you talk about is Oda's view of Vegapunk through the lens of Japan's view of Albert Einstein, as the inventor of the atomic Bomb. I think these things deeply affect the design of the One Piece world. Great vid and thanks
Those "medicines" are definitely something important. I bet the tamatebako was actually the medicine of a different group, maybe those from Lunarian race, and only works correctly for them. Zoro just happened to get lucky and get the correct medicine for his heritage.
Amazing connections as always🔥. You mentioned zoro's grandfather's name being a pun called "snake eyes" and Mihawk is called "Hawkeye". Snakes are preyed upon by alpha predatory birds like Eagles, hawks etc. This could also indicate his granddad was preyed upon and/or finished off Mihawk👀
You might find interesting that Louis the 14th, one of the most well known et long lasting in reign french king, was called "the sun king". This might strengthen the argument the mokumo's dukedom is supposed to link the minks to "french culture" as they are canonically linked to joyboy.
The thing with Mihawk is that hes supposed to be a reference to Vlad Temptest III who dawned the name "son of the dragon" ie..... Dracula. The man who put stakes up the rectums of the enemies so they can suffer for says if not weeks if the stake was blunted or sharpened. The demon was cruel but a hero in his own country. But this is where his erupean style comes from and the black blade. The blade when in use is the reverse cross that resembles the symbol of the anti-christ. The black blade nature helps establishes this. The most important note that Dracule Mihawk is his full name. Last name is Hawk. Its the type of thing that sounds better off the tongue and just works better. Dragon hawk. So what does this all mean? I have no idea but bearded daddy is someone i want to make a grilled cheese with icecream for. Yes in the grilled cheese.
Oda is playing with words as usual and “Mi” is disguised to actually be “D” The build up is: Monkey D Luffy Monkey D Dragon monkey D Garp Hawk D Dracula or Dracule D Hawk
But you also wrote that Dracule= Son of the (D) Dragon so it would be super awesome if Mihawks family name is Dragon and playing with words even further to call him by this: Dragon D Hawk or Hawk D Dragon 😂🎉
while i think that this video has many interesting points and there might be a lot to this theory, it should be considered that it is quite common for writers to draw inspiration from different cultures and blend them without necessarily implying some secret message. I work as a concept artist and even when it comes to character or weapon designe, we will use references from different cultures in order to create new and interesting designs. Same goes for the choice of names and basically any creative aspect of a story. I am not saying this to debunk this video as it might be true, but I just want to mention that we shouldn't expect all the countless One Piece theories to come true just because we think that there are tons of implications when in some cases, it's probably just Oda enjoying creative freedom
i think my favorite implication that i didnt mention in video was that if cavendish had mink lineage, then his epithet is literally weasel, and thats what a mink is. LOL like minks are just weasels and so it would be a hilarious in your face connection that no one questioned, but i have another idea why minks was chosen for the name hopefully ill get to it
Always love watching your videos because they make you think. It would amazing for Zoro to be part mink. While you were talking about Mihawk, I was thinking about who he reminded me of. He has a Spanish swordsman aesthetic, which reminded of Ramirez from Highlander.
Dude, if Zoros family is named after gambling terms and are mostly from Wano AND his grandfather's name 'Pinzoro" means snake eyes. My mind brain has a feeling that Fugitora mixes In well with all this lol
Par I think this is my favorite video from you so far, It gave me a feel of inspiration, I am greatfull for this experience, keep growing and growing 🌿
I would like to add that the color of Zoro's hair is green ; how do we make green ? By mixing blue (Shimotsuki Ushimaru) and yellow (just like other french inspired character such as Sanji, Cavendish etc).
L'ollonia was probably pronounced L'oyonia like how quesadilla is pronounced. Oyon is probably related to Hebrew Ayin (Eye), at Latin borrows a lot from Phoenician and that's the first "phonetic" writing system. Zoro got the eyes, and you just brought up "snake eyes" so I had to say this. Also the Bible is VERY anti phonecian lol they're the people of Canaan & Tyre who irl were conquered by Alexander the Great & who in the Bible where conquered by Israel. so that sentimate could be symbolized by the "snake" element.
I love Zoro. I'd definitely be for this. And may watch The French Connection, now. Also, I love the Okyot name. Put the t in front, it's Tokyo. But the o in the back, it's Kyoto. Well done, Oda.
(GREAT-GRANDFATHER) WAS (JOYBOY'S)-(RIGHT-HAND-SWORDMEN) WAS THE ONLY (1/ONE/1) WHO WAS THE FIRST (SAMURAI) TO HAVE THE (2/TWO/2)-(LEGENDARY-SUPREME-ULTIMATE-POWERFUL-SWORD)
14:32 literally the coolest whitebeard ally along with the cat brothers and the bohemian, they all squared up with vice admirals. One of my favorite parts of marineford
It makes sense that European references predominate in the One Piece world. That's where the pirate culture the OP world is based on comes from, with the bulk of famous names in the Age of Piracy coming from Britain, France, Spain and the Netherlands (+ their colonies).
I was just saying this… I’ve been watching one piece over with my GF , guys the one piece has been solved since before robin was saved by luffy look at ever arc before the introduction of HAKI !
Apparently European steel was much better than Japanese steel due to the quality of the iron available. Japan isn't a good source and fractures easily, which is why Katanas are folded many times in the forge to get out the impurities and designed for slicing rather than the bashing and varied fencing styles from Europe. It could be a comment that European swords are better in real life.
I'm not sure if I'm convinced. There are some interesting points for sure though. If anything this video did remind me that the two people we know that don't sleep are Blackbeard and Cavendish
hearing you talk about the WG's euro influence is making me think back to your amatsuki / marines theory: It could be that the amatsuki clan + their allied families were installed by these european victors to be the watchdogs of the WG, aka the marines. the people who would keep order down below the realm of the gods. similar in my mind to how the uchiha were treated in konoha's history in naruto. that could tie in to the connections you draw in your other theory and also set up a perfect scenario to fuel the friction between the marines + the WG, both having origins in royal families, and important roles, but with the marines ultimately subjugated by the WG
What if The kozuki clan 800 years ago was a clan of blacksmiths craftsmen and inventors and there inventions were so superior that they were responsible of creating all the supreme grade blades and even black blades. All the Known swordsmiths include Kotetsu and Kozuki Sukiyaki of the Kitetsu school of swordsmiths, as well as Shimotsuki Kozaburo. Except for shimotsuki the rest of the others share a similarity in that they are known for making cursed blades. And are kozuki clan members. The kozuki is also known for being writers and readers of the poneglyphs. What if the ancient weapon pluton is a cursed blade made by the ancient kozuki clan and this resulted in them going into hiding.and that the ors giants pulled the continent of wano from its original place so that it could be hidden all because of this blade. I have only one thread of evidence for this. And that is because when toki jumped into the future she did not arrive at wano but rather at a far away island in the middle of nowhere. What if that island was once apart of the original wano. Another evidence is the sandai kitestu and nidai kitesu. This would mean that the kozuki clan was a very advanced and talented tribe of blacksmiths and craftsmen. Meaning it would be unfitting for them to be the shogunate or even the royal family. Some event may have happened to result in their rise for power. as in the creation of pluton may have made them gain this status boost. The only un established thing is their connection with the minks and the poneglyphs and why are they scattered around the ancient world. Perhaps it’s linked with joyboy or even imu
haha the thumbnail for the new elemental haki video was just made ;) BUT its gonna take a backseat to a shanks video and a gorosei video. i need satellites haha
Black blades are so rare because you likely need to bathe it in the blood of people from a specific background who can manipulate their blood with haki. Ryuma likely defeated this french person that got to wano's shores, but after a long and difficult fight where he respected the hell out of him. Ryuma forged the blade with blood and haki.
LOL not the worlds strongest swordsmen ;) LOL but i left shanks out because his conversation will come another time. bringing shanks into this would have just been another bullet point as a nordic themed dude with a saber, im sure people will connect that dot on their own, BUT you know me if i mentioned shanks i would have really wanted to expand on him. because i think even more than mihawk and zoro, SHANKS back story is going to be EVEN MORE absurdly tied since he is basically the background MC haha
Ngl, Zoro being French gives a bit more meaning to him hating blonde haired, possibly blue eyed, German blooded Sanji lmfao. No wonder he didn’t go to WCI, ain’t no way he would’ve helped rescue “pure blooded, superior” Germa
@Potato98765 nah I don't think we need to worry! I have a shanks video discussing my reaction to the kid fight. And in that I talked about how oda will handle the OG characters like mihawk and zoro. It'll all be similar to luffy and shanks, no doubt in my mind and it was 100% validated when we saw how oda handled garp too. Garp being the most OG since he is a pilot character that at one point replaced shanks even haha
At 14:30 ish I was sold. When you said Scottish my mind immediately went to the film the Highlander, in which Sean Connery gives Christopher Lambert a Katana in feudal Scotland
And I'm kind of just still mindblown, personally in hindsight, cuz the sentiment I had about the west blue and the future swordsman focus aged really well. I'm not sure if you're fully caught up. But I did not think those details would be relevant so soon
The connections are wild and I like the leaps that you made. My only issue is that you can’t tell me my favorite character is a furry man . I just might not be able to keep him in that top spot if it’s the case.
because I got a whole video about shanks coming up maybe even 2 covering alot more but also discussing shanks takes a little more than a bullet point here
this makes a lot of sense also as i’ve been thinking that the Wano side of Zoro’s family all have blue hair so the other side of his family may have had blonde hair (much like many of the french-ish characters like Cavendish) to make his moss head
Or just green hair His grandfather could have pased it to his dad then zzoro (so from Roronoa side) Or from the mother side 🤷 I mean aside from hair color he got most of his look from the shimotsuki clan.
@@gameonln6077 yea that’s just as likely if not more, but to me it just feels very Oda to have someone with blue hair and someone blonde to have a kid with green hair
wait yea, not sure where we disagree, but if one of the VOID century families of wano is brothers with the minks thats massive. but also that split that youre talking about is more significant you take into account the Wano Civil war theory i had with the kozuki clan. plays heavy into this.
haha ik, I was setting that up so ppl would focus on the dragon part sort of for later. but also cuz oda named mihawks family "dragon" which is imo a completely not focused on detail. the d. clans have alot of animal names and then celestial dragons. haha but had I gone on that tangent there the vid would be much longer. I never made the video that would have emphasized that point tho. the plan was to highlight peoples comments and spark the focus on mihawks last name to encourage engagement in future vids XD
Omg all great points. Can you also just go over all the Kingdoms of Levely and which real countries they represent. Which Blues they're from. And how they could connect to the world before Void century.
YES im actually going to do this! im so glad you requested it gave me more motivation to prioritize it. sitting here thinking people wont like that haha itll come in a few weeks tho got some crazy vids on the docket lol
they both have same etymology. dracul is the roman derivative whic got spun to dracula/dracule. but latin is the root of everything in western languages and so draco is the root word which is dragon
@@RmnGnzlz I think the connection would be probably that dragons tho spawned in the cultures around the world in very different ways and oda might want to show how it's all connected to dreams. so i guess the question shud be more how do vampires connect to dragons? why would people use the term dracula to popularize vampires, if it was a word that meant dragon to the people who used it
Dracula (vlad tempes the 3rd) means son of the dragon or son of the devil. His father was apart of group called the house of the dragon. Bram Stoker used this name thinking it meant son of the devil, or I guess in this case the D. Clan, haha.
I've seen you struggle on "L'Ollonois" a few times and I gotta give you a secret Par.... It's pronunced exactly like Roronoa if you replace the Rs with Ls
PIKA in paris. you my friend, save me a bunch in the future. i thought id get memed if i did that. wait thats even crazier lol was i saying francois close tho?
@@Parvision- My pleasure, I know french makes no sense in terms of pronunciation so I always try to help lol . Francois was actually pretty close just you pronunced the first part of the word like "French" (the ppl) when it's more like how you pronunce "France" (the country) PS: I'm gonna join your discord you can hit me up if you ever need some help with french related content ;)
Very impressed by this idea it definitely makes sense. Enjoyed the whole time. I bet this idea is gonna be referenced in so many other prominent channels very soon. Congrats!!!
What were your thoughts on 2 particular impact frames in wano showing potential horns, ep 1059 - 18:20 and 1062 - 8:45. One animator that drew the horns for 1059 I quote '@Vann_Oba Zoro's Horns = king of hell reference Did them just for fun lol' Would Oda and Toei let that slide as part of a theory topic or future setup?
Zunisha might be connected to WG and Wano through the apology to joy boy. If Zunisha is the key to opening Wano, maybe it was also the reason it was closed of and that was the purpose of the apology. If Zunisha turned on Joy Boy by helping the WG confine the samurai/Kozuki, that could also explain Zunisha still punishing itself until it can correct the mistake.
ODA REALLY SAID "YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT IT TOGETHER SOONER" hahahahaha if this theory pans out then oda lead us down a path only to make us miss this entire other path that he set up
Par, I love your content and this an interesting idea but I just don’t see how this could be implemented into the story at all. Like is Oda gonna write a whole ass detour mini-arc to send Zoro to West Blue or whatever to discover his European based roots? Is he gonna carve out a big chunk of one the future arcs like Laugh Tale or the Final War for it? Even though those arcs are already gonna be busy enough. Is it gonna happen before or after he fights Mihawk? And what is the narrative payoff? Zoro learns how to fence? We’ve already seen that Zoro being a Shimotsuki had no actual plot relevance. So what exactly is the story to be told with Zoro’s Roronoa roots? What would him being part Mink matter?
it's because the world government Is gonna represent the western nations. france played a massive role in western development philosophy, politics, and the major revolutions. but on top of that France has really good relations with japan the entire time. so the plot essentially is how did the European nations take over the world and colonize it. that's the world government. if you're asking where it falls in, its basically any arc that will be placed to develop the world government. like a water 7 to an enies lobby. situation. water 7 being venice and giving alot of context to enies lobby which was a fight over poengylph knowledge and pluton. we dont know why they wanted it then but now we will and whichever arc develops the world government prior to void century, wille ither be end of elbaf or right after. it cud even be lodestar.
as for the narrative payoff. itd be the realization that the world separates them but the lineage and blood do not. so how did those labels get placed and why? whatever information we learn in this regard would be great background to better understand void century history. we have wano, which was a primary factor in the void century, we sort of know the world government and we dont know the ancient kingdom. the way its playing out is ancient kingdom is greek, world government is rome. all the nations that shot out are the offshoots or Latin based countries, which Is reflected in the story. and so you if learned of a major player like the French side, that would serve to overlay the void century and give us a better understanding of major players
@@Parvision- Hmm ok that is pretty interesting. I honestly would never expect Oda to use Zoro to explore those themes but it’s definitely not impossible and it would be a welcome change to how Oda writes him. Sorry if I came across as aggressive in my comment. I’m probably just a bit jaded after how Zoro was handled in Wano with it feeling like we were gonna get a seriously meaty storyline and instead it’s just a solid B, ~Skypiea level storyline for him. Also the point you made about Wano basically being in a Dark Age for their swordsmanship is pretty cool. I actually thought it would be a pretty dope storyline if Zoro becomes a leader in Wano swordsmanship and helps lead a cultural revolution to re-establish Wano’s status as a premier Swordsman nation. He would likely need to be recognized by Wano at large as a spiritual successor to Ryuma for that to happen though so who knows.

This actually relates to why by it we’re saying about Laws secret name “Water”:
D clan theory:
Basically, we have 7 clans of D and 7 days of the week (which became relevant when we got Jaygarcia’s name or title as “Saturn”. I can’t remember the video I was watching but the guy said out of the blue, in a completely different context “Trafalgar Law’s secret name is water” which given how recently I’d heard the thing about Japanese days of the week, immediately clicked as important. Basically I’ve put together this list of potential D clan secret names which makes way too much sense to me.
Monkey D. (Sun/light)
Marshal D. (Moon/dark)
Gol D. (Metal)
Jaguar D. (Wood)
Portgas D. (Fire)
Rocks D. (Earth)
Trafalgar D. Water
And most of them have the hint in their name. Gold is a metal, port gas can be used to fuel a fire, rocks is well, Earth. Monkey and marshal are thematic to the story and trafalgar is known to be water. Jaguar has no particular link to wood other than the fact robin found him in the woods of Ohara which had the tree of knowledge, a very big wooden thing.
Oh right I also think it would be cooler if Luffy was Monkey D. Light Luffy than Monkey D. Sun Luffy since he’s just such a delight
Alright I know I'm supposed to be sleeping but this came to me while my mind was adrift
And this just adds to my theory
The will of D. Is the will of Day or Days
The D clans could be the opposite or inversion of wanos moon clans
The guardians of day to wanos guardians of night
Law being a napoleon reference was also a distraction from the real meaning
Holy shit this is actually brilliant.
Im learning japanese and just found out today about the thing with days in the week for japan so this hits harder
I'm sorry, my biggest takeaway here is I'm upset that the reason Carrot will never join the crew is because Zoro is part French.
Zoro full moon sulong form from the minx drug he took? Zoro's getting his version of the raid suit.
exactly, just like if sanji is lunarian, its not like he has perma lunarian flame or wings. zoro probably has some new adjustments coming his way
You're the best at theorycrafting bro. The connections you lay out blow me away.

I’m a simple man, i see a Zoro theory vid, i click, i like.

Zoro + Mink DNA + Mom’s name “Terra” = Son of the Earth
Sanji + Lunarian DNA + Mom’s Name Sora = Son of the Sky
Jinbe = Son of the Sea
In the early one shot Monsters that Oda made featuring Ryuma
There was a swordsman who challenged Ryuma based on his looks he looks a lot like a European swordman
He also resembles Mihawk a lot

LOL lmk what you think by the end of this. hahaha
Since luffy is sun god and there is possibility that imu is moon god. Maybe thats why imu can stay permenant in mink sulong form
L'ollonia was probably pronounced L'oyonia like how quesadilla is pronounced. Oyon is probably related to Hebrew Ayin (Eye), at Latin borrows a lot from Phoenician and that's the first "phonetic" writing system. Zoro got the eyes, and you just brought up "snake eyes" so I had to say this. Also the Bible is VERY anti phonecian lol they're the people of Canaan & Tyre who irl were conquered by Alexander the Great & who in the Bible where conquered by Israel. so that sentimate could be symbolized by the "snake" element.
I love Zoro. I'd definitely be for this. And may watch The French Connection, now.
Also, I love the Okyot name. Put the t in front, it's Tokyo. But the o in the back, it's Kyoto. Well done, Oda.
(GREAT-GRANDFATHER) WAS (JOYBOY'S)-(RIGHT-HAND-SWORDMEN) WAS THE ONLY (1/ONE/1) WHO WAS THE FIRST (SAMURAI) TO HAVE THE (2/TWO/2)-(LEGENDARY-SUPREME-ULTIMATE-POWERFUL-SWORD)
14:32 literally the coolest whitebeard ally along with the cat brothers and the bohemian, they all squared up with vice admirals. One of my favorite parts of marineford
W VIDEO
It makes sense that European references predominate in the One Piece world. That's where the pirate culture the OP world is based on comes from, with the bulk of famous names in the Age of Piracy coming from Britain, France, Spain and the Netherlands (+ their colonies).
I just put it together. Zoro’s father was killed by a pirate. Hawk preys on snakes. Mihawk killed zoro’s father 🤯😮💨
I was just saying this… I’ve been watching one piece over with my GF , guys the one piece has been solved since before robin was saved by luffy look at ever arc before the introduction of HAKI !
Apparently European steel was much better than Japanese steel due to the quality of the iron available. Japan isn't a good source and fractures easily, which is why Katanas are folded many times in the forge to get out the impurities and designed for slicing rather than the bashing and varied fencing styles from Europe.
It could be a comment that European swords are better in real life.
I'm not sure if I'm convinced. There are some interesting points for sure though. If anything this video did remind me that the two people we know that don't sleep are Blackbeard and Cavendish
Plot Twist Mihawk is a Dragon who ate a Hito Hito no Mi or a Mythical Dragon who can transform into Human
this was actually so much fun to watch. it's actually incredible how well you put these together
The greatest sword in the One Piece World is The Great Sogeking because it's already black
Making connections, Rainbow Connections!! The lovers, the dreamers, and me!
Ayeee another Par upload
I love how the sword mihawk carries has a real life counterpart literally called giant knife (grosse messer)
This one.... wow, this one blew my mind
It's kind of ironic that the "Japanese guy" could be French while the French guy could be an "angel"...
Finally a watchful videos on one piece swords and zoro's backstory.
Loved it parvision.....🔥🔥
Oh i never even thought about it but maybe thats why Sanjis got beef with Zoro, he a fake frenchman while Zoro the real deal 😂😂😂
Man, video after video this man makes crazy sounding theories then actually justifies it and has it make sense
Another swordsmen with a European look would be the one and only red haired emperor, the king of haoshokou our boi Shanks 🤔
23:37 I thought my phone was sliding off my table cause the screen moved like that
hearing you talk about the WG's euro influence is making me think back to your amatsuki / marines theory:
It could be that the amatsuki clan + their allied families were installed by these european victors to be the watchdogs of the WG, aka the marines. the people who would keep order down below the realm of the gods. similar in my mind to how the uchiha were treated in konoha's history in naruto. that could tie in to the connections you draw in your other theory and also set up a perfect scenario to fuel the friction between the marines + the WG, both having origins in royal families, and important roles, but with the marines ultimately subjugated by the WG
Zoro wearing MiHawks coat reminds me of the movie Sin City wear Marv is like, "That's a mighty fine coat you're wearing."
Haha You'ra peein' dragin' me hawk
looooooooooioiiiil
Put Parvision, morj, Arthur library of ohara, tekking and the SAVAGE and we have the resume of one piece it self
What if The kozuki clan 800 years ago was a clan of blacksmiths craftsmen and inventors and there inventions were so superior that they were responsible of creating all the supreme grade blades and even black blades. All the Known swordsmiths include Kotetsu and Kozuki Sukiyaki of the Kitetsu school of swordsmiths, as well as Shimotsuki Kozaburo. Except for shimotsuki the rest of the others share a similarity in that they are known for making cursed blades. And are kozuki clan members. The kozuki is also known for being writers and readers of the poneglyphs. What if the ancient weapon pluton is a cursed blade made by the ancient kozuki clan and this resulted in them going into hiding.and that the ors giants pulled the continent of wano from its original place so that it could be hidden all because of this blade. I have only one thread of evidence for this. And that is because when toki jumped into the future she did not arrive at wano but rather at a far away island in the middle of nowhere. What if that island was once apart of the original wano. Another evidence is the sandai kitestu and nidai kitesu. This would mean that the kozuki clan was a very advanced and talented tribe of blacksmiths and craftsmen. Meaning it would be unfitting for them to be the shogunate or even the royal family. Some event may have happened to result in their rise for power. as in the creation of pluton may have made them gain this status boost. The only un established thing is their connection with the minks and the poneglyphs and why are they scattered around the ancient world. Perhaps it’s linked with joyboy or even imu
The fact he uses Katanas makes us forget that Zoro comes from Spanish Origins
Parvision's thoughts give some out of the box and truly interesting perspective regarding the story. Keep up the good work!
If zoro is a semi-mink and Sanji is a semi-lunarian, I will lose my mind. That would be amazing
Fawk bozo Loro no lore skipped in own arc sbs dump like kidd....ELEMENTAL HAKI WHEN...just jokes dope vid but for reals been needed that. SANJI GANG
haha the thumbnail for the new elemental haki video was just made ;)
BUT its gonna take a backseat to a shanks video and a gorosei video. i need satellites haha
the chin you keep talking about is called the Habsburg jaw lol
NO WAYYYY ODA MEMEING INBREEDING! LOL is that what it is? LMAOOOOOOOO GOD DAMNIT
@@Parvision- sure seems that way lol
Draco ment to be dragon🤣 what a funny tale you got there man😂😂lol
Black blades are so rare because you likely need to bathe it in the blood of people from a specific background who can manipulate their blood with haki. Ryuma likely defeated this french person that got to wano's shores, but after a long and difficult fight where he respected the hell out of him. Ryuma forged the blade with blood and haki.
.....
I can't with these shitty theories........
Oh no is Par an adherent to Shanks ≠ swordsman?
LOL not the worlds strongest swordsmen ;) LOL but i left shanks out because his conversation will come another time. bringing shanks into this would have just been another bullet point as a nordic themed dude with a saber, im sure people will connect that dot on their own, BUT you know me if i mentioned shanks i would have really wanted to expand on him. because i think even more than mihawk and zoro, SHANKS back story is going to be EVEN MORE absurdly tied since he is basically the background MC haha
Ngl, Zoro being French gives a bit more meaning to him hating blonde haired, possibly blue eyed, German blooded Sanji lmfao. No wonder he didn’t go to WCI, ain’t no way he would’ve helped rescue “pure blooded, superior” Germa
I won’t die on the hill of sanji having blue eyes it’s just a joke to help my reach stretch farther
I really hope we get a Zoro arc because I fear Wano could have been a half assed Zoro arc and that he won't get any big moments except beating Mihawk.
@Potato98765 nah I don't think we need to worry! I have a shanks video discussing my reaction to the kid fight. And in that I talked about how oda will handle the OG characters like mihawk and zoro. It'll all be similar to luffy and shanks, no doubt in my mind and it was 100% validated when we saw how oda handled garp too. Garp being the most OG since he is a pilot character that at one point replaced shanks even haha
At 14:30 ish I was sold. When you said Scottish my mind immediately went to the film the Highlander, in which Sean Connery gives Christopher Lambert a Katana in feudal Scotland
alright. I gotta watch whatever this is and understand it loool if its that effective of a tie in
so zorros not a plant anymore, hes a furry
a furry plant ;) LOL jk
Also Musketeers Sounds a lot like "muscle-animals" in german... Always thought that Oda's joke was obvious...
This is one of those theories that automatically become headcanon. So well informed and thought-provoking
And I'm kind of just still mindblown, personally in hindsight, cuz the sentiment I had about the west blue and the future swordsman focus aged really well. I'm not sure if you're fully caught up. But I did not think those details would be relevant so soon
Hmm the Ancient Kingdom is wrong translation I just found out its the "Gigantic Kingdom." So all these links make sense.
wait source me I'll check raws immediately when I can
It was a land of swordsmen but they left the land and title there
So much to unpack. Mink hybrids are def out there! And what’s a Fishman if not a Fish Mink??
The connections are wild and I like the leaps that you made. My only issue is that you can’t tell me my favorite character is a furry man . I just might not be able to keep him in that top spot if it’s the case.
EVEN IF HE WERE LIKE A LION OR TIGER MINK?!?!?! that'd be kind of sickkkkkk thoooo LOL
I wonder why you didnt mention Shanks as a swordsman who wields a european sword and being the only known rival of Mihawk? 🤔
because I got a whole video about shanks coming up maybe even 2 covering alot more but also discussing shanks takes a little more than a bullet point here
this makes a lot of sense also as i’ve been thinking that the Wano side of Zoro’s family all have blue hair so the other side of his family may have had blonde hair (much like many of the french-ish characters like Cavendish) to make his moss head
Or just green hair
His grandfather could have pased it to his dad then zzoro (so from Roronoa side)
Or from the mother side 🤷
I mean aside from hair color he got most of his look from the shimotsuki clan.
@@gameonln6077 yea that’s just as likely if not more, but to me it just feels very Oda to have someone with blue hair and someone blonde to have a kid with green hair
The mink relationship is only for the kozuki clan. Not the whole of wano. 😂😂😂
wait yea, not sure where we disagree, but if one of the VOID century families of wano is brothers with the minks thats massive. but also that split that youre talking about is more significant you take into account the Wano Civil war theory i had with the kozuki clan. plays heavy into this.
Dadvision clapping cheeks
Never say "you pulled something out of your bootie " again, I cant😂
THE THINGS people say to me lol i had to keep it pg
Family names come first in Japan. Monkey D Luffy = Luffy D Monkey
Dracule Mihawk = Mihawk Dracule
haha ik, I was setting that up so ppl would focus on the dragon part sort of for later. but also cuz oda named mihawks family "dragon" which is imo a completely not focused on detail. the d. clans have alot of animal names and then celestial dragons. haha but had I gone on that tangent there the vid would be much longer. I never made the video that would have emphasized that point tho. the plan was to highlight peoples comments and spark the focus on mihawks last name to encourage engagement in future vids XD
Replace Mi with D and you get Dracule D Hawk. It’s Odas way of playing with words
well done friend great theory
Omg all great points. Can you also just go over all the Kingdoms of Levely and which real countries they represent. Which Blues they're from. And how they could connect to the world before Void century.
YES im actually going to do this! im so glad you requested it gave me more motivation to prioritize it. sitting here thinking people wont like that haha
itll come in a few weeks tho got some crazy vids on the docket lol
@@Parvision- OH man those are topics I'm most interested in. Thanks.
Dracule comes from Latin for Dragon and not for Dracula? What?
they both have same etymology. dracul is the roman derivative whic got spun to dracula/dracule. but latin is the root of everything in western languages and so draco is the root word which is dragon
@@Parvision- Yeah I see that but in OP I don't really see the connection with dragons and Mihawk, everything is obviously vampire-like.
@@RmnGnzlz I think the connection would be probably that dragons tho spawned in the cultures around the world in very different ways and oda might want to show how it's all connected to dreams. so i guess the question shud be more how do vampires connect to dragons? why would people use the term dracula to popularize vampires, if it was a word that meant dragon to the people who used it
@@RmnGnzlz Dracula is the son of a dragon if I remember correctly
Dracula (vlad tempes the 3rd) means son of the dragon or son of the devil. His father was apart of group called the house of the dragon. Bram Stoker used this name thinking it meant son of the devil, or I guess in this case the D. Clan, haha.
Zoro is a furry confirmed lol
I've seen you struggle on "L'Ollonois" a few times and I gotta give you a secret Par.... It's pronunced exactly like Roronoa if you replace the Rs with Ls
PIKA in paris. you my friend, save me a bunch in the future. i thought id get memed if i did that. wait thats even crazier lol was i saying francois close tho?
@@Parvision- My pleasure, I know french makes no sense in terms of pronunciation so I always try to help lol . Francois was actually pretty close just you pronunced the first part of the word like "French" (the ppl) when it's more like how you pronunce "France" (the country)
PS: I'm gonna join your discord you can hit me up if you ever need some help with french related content ;)
Awesome video par.🎉
It's weird that the Weasel is associated with the Wind in Japanese culture.
weasel is also just basically what a mink is lol like minks are weasels haha
Recently found you and you changed my pov of one piece
When your agenda is so strong and blind that you can't even mention that the real opponent of Mihawk is Shanks before losing an arm...
Sad...
wait what agenda? lol
@@Parvision- look at the beginning of the video, when you are looking for a rival to Mihawk, Mihawk never fought Vista until Marineford.
Very impressed by this idea it definitely makes sense. Enjoyed the whole time. I bet this idea is gonna be referenced in so many other prominent channels very soon. Congrats!!!
What were your thoughts on 2 particular impact frames in wano showing potential horns, ep 1059 - 18:20 and 1062 - 8:45. One animator that drew the horns for 1059 I quote '@Vann_Oba
Zoro's Horns = king of hell reference
Did them just for fun lol'
Would Oda and Toei let that slide as part of a theory topic or future setup?
before i start watching hope this is the infamous zoro is a plant idea
Nah EVEN BETTER
So Zoro is French, no wonder he is only fighting brown guys.
LMAOOOOO GOD DAMNIT i shud have included the minority hunter meme
Zunisha might be connected to WG and Wano through the apology to joy boy. If Zunisha is the key to opening Wano, maybe it was also the reason it was closed of and that was the purpose of the apology. If Zunisha turned on Joy Boy by helping the WG confine the samurai/Kozuki, that could also explain Zunisha still punishing itself until it can correct the mistake.
I'll summarize the video in Italian
"Your princess is in another kingdom"
should have put zoro in a luigi hat and luffy in a mario hat or sanji LOL
Zoro during the time skip is literally Luigis Mansion LMAO and Perona's a ghost so it makes sense!😂
Dragon Micawk
Why you do this bro, u got me questioning everything!😰
ODA REALLY SAID "YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT IT TOGETHER SOONER"
hahahahaha if this theory pans out then oda lead us down a path only to make us miss this entire other path that he set up
Par, I love your content and this an interesting idea but I just don’t see how this could be implemented into the story at all. Like is Oda gonna write a whole ass detour mini-arc to send Zoro to West Blue or whatever to discover his European based roots? Is he gonna carve out a big chunk of one the future arcs like Laugh Tale or the Final War for it? Even though those arcs are already gonna be busy enough. Is it gonna happen before or after he fights Mihawk? And what is the narrative payoff? Zoro learns how to fence? We’ve already seen that Zoro being a Shimotsuki had no actual plot relevance. So what exactly is the story to be told with Zoro’s Roronoa roots? What would him being part Mink matter?
it's because the world government Is gonna represent the western nations. france played a massive role in western development philosophy, politics, and the major revolutions. but on top of that France has really good relations with japan the entire time. so the plot essentially is how did the European nations take over the world and colonize it. that's the world government. if you're asking where it falls in, its basically any arc that will be placed to develop the world government. like a water 7 to an enies lobby. situation. water 7 being venice and giving alot of context to enies lobby which was a fight over poengylph knowledge and pluton. we dont know why they wanted it then but now we will and whichever arc develops the world government prior to void century, wille ither be end of elbaf or right after. it cud even be lodestar.
as for the narrative payoff. itd be the realization that the world separates them but the lineage and blood do not. so how did those labels get placed and why? whatever information we learn in this regard would be great background to better understand void century history. we have wano, which was a primary factor in the void century, we sort of know the world government and we dont know the ancient kingdom. the way its playing out is ancient kingdom is greek, world government is rome. all the nations that shot out are the offshoots or Latin based countries, which Is reflected in the story. and so you if learned of a major player like the French side, that would serve to overlay the void century and give us a better understanding of major players
@@Parvision- Hmm ok that is pretty interesting. I honestly would never expect Oda to use Zoro to explore those themes but it’s definitely not impossible and it would be a welcome change to how Oda writes him. Sorry if I came across as aggressive in my comment. I’m probably just a bit jaded after how Zoro was handled in Wano with it feeling like we were gonna get a seriously meaty storyline and instead it’s just a solid B, ~Skypiea level storyline for him.
Also the point you made about Wano basically being in a Dark Age for their swordsmanship is pretty cool. I actually thought it would be a pretty dope storyline if Zoro becomes a leader in Wano swordsmanship and helps lead a cultural revolution to re-establish Wano’s status as a premier Swordsman nation. He would likely need to be recognized by Wano at large as a spiritual successor to Ryuma for that to happen though so who knows.
