@@vapidcity I think he wants to blaze his own trail and knows it’ll be controversial. It’s not for everyone and that’s ok. But the traditional shonen approach is not what he wanted to go for and that is also ok. In the end this is a goofy comic/cartoon where the author wants to be as weird as he so pleases.
I really love that Bonny is not saying "Give me a Nika-ish future!" but "Give me a complete free future!" Because Luffy also never cares about Nika. Probably Nika does not care about Nika. They just want to be free.
IIRC ironically, she did get Luffy's stretchy powers to punch that CP8 lady (I forgot the number) when she wished for a Nika-ish future, but her imagination wasn't enough to make it true, or perhaps the "truth" is being free
@@lazylonewolfyeah because it’s all based on what she believes. Luna told her that nika was a stretchy warrior so when she wished for that future she became stretchy
Killua is actually the most dangerous character in hunter hunter because nanika has the power to grant any wish. Think about it ANY wish like the power for Killuas enemies to die when they commit to harming him. Or he could wish for a new nen ability with specific conditions like when killua is breathing his enemies cannot. If there was any person in hunter hunter who was equipped to survive the dark continent it would be gon killua and nanika as a team.
I mean, that’s the point of Gear 5 right? That Luffy finally has the strength to protect the freedom of those he cares about? To bring a smile to their faces in times of despair? Unlike powerscalers, Luffy doesn’t give a shit about strength for strength’s sake. He cares about strength because it allows him to be free and to help his friends be free. I mean, the whole REASON he did the whole timeskip training was to make sure that what happened to Ace never happened again. So of COURSE Luffy would invite Bonney to do this. That’s what he’s been working so hard all this time for. Not so that he can be the strongest guy in the room, but so that he can share freedom and joy with his friends.
"If I had a nickle for every person who transformed into Nika, I'd have two nickles; which is not a lot of nickles, but it is weird that it happened twice."
You know what's ironic about all of this? Saturn was the reason why Bonney has those powers (he gave her a transfusion of it when she was younger). One of the Five Elders is indirectly responsible for another Nika showing up lol
He's also the only one responsible for her being the high commander of every pacifista with Kuma's face. If he was such a science type observer and smart, how come he never realized the true nature of Kuma and his influence over others (as well as Vega Punk's soft side). St Saturn really incarnates the downside of overwhelming power, which is total indifference for the 'weak' and never thinking of different forms of strength that can potentially undermine your sole objective which is ironically maintaining your position in power.
No one is talking about the fact that once Luffy popped Gear 5th the OCEAN began to bounce. If his reality bending power extends to the very sea itself and rubberizes that could be a huge gamechanger.
Lol I really hope Oda wouldn't just let us sit through 5 chapters waiting for people to set up video snail just not to use it because that Iron Giant failed its duty 😂
@@kristiansantosa2997 Honestly, at this point, I don't trust Oda to not do that. One Piece, the manga, is his laugh tale, that is, him laughing at his fans.
I'm imagining a future where TOEI will draw Bonney making the famous Nika jump on front of the moon, but actually being on front of the sun. That would be extremely poetic.
Bonney is Kuma's personal Nika. He raised her to be the child she is today, to be full of hope and joy, to have a love of life and adventure and to look for a brighter future. He loved her and she loves him back. People keep saying Saturn created a second Nika through his hubris. No. Saturn didn't create a second Nika. Kuma did. That panel where we see a flashback of him talking to Ginny's grave, where he says he'll raise Bonney well - he's seeing the culminations of him doing that. He's seeing Nika made real through his efforts to raise his child well. She's his joygirl, his sun.
This reminds me of one of my favourite fantasy quotes : "Ten spears go to battle, and nine shatter. Did the war forge the one that remained? No, Amaran. All the war did was identify the spear that would not break."
Love your content when I started one piece a year ago I found your channel and can't get enough. Keep up the great work and I 100% agree with your bonney take. She deserves it due to all the sacrifices kuma made for her.
I also feel the same. Just think about it zunesha commited a crime and iron Giant said sorry to joy boy and void ended with joy boy's defeat something very sad must have happened to him 😭😭
i mean bro fought 20 kingdoms and by the hints given by present series his crewmates couldnt help him so they are sorry. there's high chance that he fought alone
Luffy literally shows her how to punch an elder while in G5, she literally asks for a Nika-ish future in her flashback chapter, she was raised by Kuma who told her everything about the warrior of liberation and she has been seeking him for all of her pirate journey. Her fruit was stated to work on imagination. That people still call this an asspull completely baffles me.
That is some top tier BS. Her fruit was stated to work on imagination? No. We've always known it to be the Age-Age Fruit. She changes her age. This whole Distorted Future garbage is something Bonney logically shouldn't be able to do with her power. But all Oda does now is retcon fruits. That's all he knows how to do. I'm done with this show. Luffy is dead. Forget about the One Piece, this is Nika Piece we're watching now. It's all about Nika and Nika will continue to spread like a disease. You get a Nika! And you get a Nika! Everyone gets a Nika!!
@dannickfausse3312 It's not so easy to drop a show you've watched 1100 episodes of. I love this show but it's my duty as a fan to call out bad writing when I see it, criticism leads to change for the better. So you telling me to just drop the show for pointing out bad writing is just being dishonest as a fan. I know I went on a rant, but I still love and want to continue loving this series, and it is dishonest not to point out inconsistencies when you spot them. Instead, focus on the points I made (aside from the rant) and try to argue with me. Won't you realize I'm making sense?
@@diamond-heart21 Nah I definitely don’t think your argument makes sense, sure Bonney’s fruit is the Age Age fruit or whatever but the distorted future shit is like 99% surely her awakening, I can see where ur coming from somewhat but other than Bonney literally no one else will get Nika’s powers. Not only that but this isn’t the first time we’ve seen something far fetched in One Piece like cmon bro Kaido has a fish fish fruit but is literally a fire breathing dragon. Not only that but doesn’t Bonney’s backstory heavily involve Nika? One Piece thematically is about dreams and will and we’ve quite literally seen how characters’ dreams can heavily affect others, themselves and sometimes even the environment around them, Vegapunk has stated that devil fruit powers come from dreams and desires, so in reality there’s pretty much no limit to what a devil fruit can achieve
but the iron giant only ever moves when the beats of joy are to be heard and now it is even doubled. Iron giant will bring himself up to see joy boy. how do u imagine him being relevant without being even able to move by himself?
I neam narratively and literally the iron giants purpose in egghead is to stall. For vegapunks message to continue and for everyone to get off the island
what you said about bonney’s transformation was so beautifully put. kuma’s backstory was the first time in a while the manga made me weep. and now to see his entire life’s worth of sacrifice (and ginny’s as well) pay off in the most thematically satisfying way is nothing short of incredible. i don’t care about power scaling for something like this, i think it’s just a very good example of a character arc coming full circle
The last spread is one of the most genuinely hopeful and beautifully uplifting scenes in the entire series. Was smiling ear to ear the whole time I read it. 😁
I’m impressed at how “the Iron Giant awakens” manages to (somehow)get used as a chapter cliffhanger AGAIN, despite the Giant having already been up and moving a few panels before Like.. that is some real dedication to the art of stalling
I can't blame him tho Imagine waking from a long Long sleep then being woken up By your friends heartbeat Then you try to find him but you get jumped by the 5 elders
So two things about this arc that I feel kind of iffy about are the fact that a lot of the history of the world was just revealed freely without the historian Nico robin discovering because I feel like that was her main mission since her introduction…and they don’t even give her reaction to what vegapunk revealed and that Bonny becoming nika takes away a little of what was special about Luffy getting this transformation
We just learned that there was massive ass flood and absolutely nothing else that would be that important. There is enough history still left to be uncovered. And considering there are only probably two-three major arcs left, that's fine.
okay so in all honesty yeah, you,Morj, and joyboy are literally the only one piece theoriests that i can actually bare watching for 20 minutes. Thumbs up to u
I feel like the Elders are part of that one SpongeBob meme where SpongeBob asks what's worse than 1 giant paint bubble and Patrick makes a second as he answers 2 giant bubbles. The WG is so screwed over with Bonney pulling this off. 😂
I was so happy for Kuma when Bonney became Nika. So glad he got to see it even if it’s just his shell! I just love Bonney & Luffy’s relationship too, they’re adorable and fun together.
@@bofeeesh6470 don’t let Boa hear you! 😂 I like them together too, in a completely platonic way as she is but 12, but maybe in 10 or so yrs in story I’ll be more open to shipping them as a couple lol. Not like the age gap is too bad and Luffy’s just a big kid anyway, he’s definitely gonna keep it platonic too. 🤔 I’ve given this too much thought, better go to bed!
@@mmem4264or she could just lower luffy’s age so that it’s appropriate while also negating his life span loss from gear 2nd, 4th and the hormone therapy
I completely agree with your take on Bonney. All the people that are malding about it on twitter are the same people that can't view any given Panel without trying to extrapolate Power Scaling Data from that. For Bonny to achieve this state, through the inspiration and encouragment of Luffy, doesnt only achieve Kumas Desire for his Daughters freedom, but it also shows that Luffys ability to inspire people has grown exponentially since Mihawk identified this as Luffys strongest Power in Marineford. And isn't that exactly what the Warrior of Liberation is supposed to do?
Kuma spent Bonney’s entire childhood instilling her with hope via the tales of Nika. Bonney was on the brink of losing that hope as the result of all Saturn put her and Kuma through. She almost lost her ability to become Nika - her ability to imagine a world where she is free, because of Saturn. Luffy inspired her. Brought hope back into her world. And so she manages to become Nika by imagining a world where she is free. It is SUCH an amazing story.
This is perfect, the warrior of liberation would want to not only be totally free but spread the dream of total freedom, propagating it through the world. Now he’s got a protege to help pave that future of ultimate freedom
I don't think any arguments can top the emotion I felt seeing that final page spread and being reminded of everything character-wise that led up until that moment. So, regardless of how broken she ends up becoming, I just remind myself that this is what Kuma fought for.
@yoman338 but if you really think about it; with the Crew that he had, did he reaaally need to lift a finger I'm sure they could do the main battling while he did the scheming
What... Xebeq cannot be weak wtf... He literally had kaido abd and all these names under him. If roger equals Luffy right,i don't think luffy needs zoro or sanji to win buggy in a 2 vs 1 battle... 🤔 Definitely prime Xebeq has to be stronger than Roger 💯💯💯
Thanks for the content. Love the videos you do. I apologize if this question was already answered and I missed it but I've been wondering...if the gum gum fruit never existed according to Vega punk, does that mean the will of the fruit lied to luffy? My understanding is upon consumption, the user then learns what the fruit ability is..I understand he did in fact gain rubber powers but the name of the fruit is also identified to the consumer as well, correct? Or am I seriously misunderstanding and/or seriously overthinking this whole thing lol. Thanks!
gotta agree with you on Bonney. it's so awesome to see that she can become her own Nika. both for potential comedy with both using their toon powers but also thematically as she becomes free from everything and finally gets to enjoy life without worry or regret
I was thinking that too. It sounds so ridiculous that it might actually happen. The One Piece is not destroying the Red Line (which will still happen and destroy fishman island), but it involves draining most of the sea to return the world to the original one continent, one piece. Roger might have even found the plug created by the previous Joy Boy but only Joy Boy can lift it because it is that huge. It was so stupid it made him laugh.
I can actually see bonney and luffy punshing the bird guy into the sea and the iron giant pulling him down and keeping him there. otherwise escape is pretty difficult, as the giants said.
I am so glad you addressed the controversy!! Bonney replicating Luffy's G5 is amazing as an emotional moment!! power scalers will not be satisfied by this chapter..
I really love this outcome because it feels consistent for Luffy. He just wants to support and liberate people. He's been doing that since the very start of the series with Koby and kept doing it up until the new world with Momonosuke. So of course he wants Bonney to become as free as possible too. It's in-character for him.
At first with how they were talking about gear 5 luffy before he transformed it sounded like to me he had the actual creative mode of devil fruits but I was wrong seems like Bonney could use distorted future for any devil fruit now like she could take the gura gura no mi if she wanted to so she’s actually got creative mode on
There are no 2 joy boy only luffy is joy boy. Bonnie is just a copy. Also the fact that iron Giant was simply ignoring elders and elder hit it while it was just moving towards luffy. I think that robo is very powerful
The way yamato was leaving mainland wano and everyone was departing her is giving me a sense of impending doom that's gonna come as soon as yamato goes far from the mainland
I actually didn’t think of that. I just thought that it was funny because unlike the other countries and people who are panicking, Yamato is just having a snack
@@NoName...... considering that Caribou is presumably on his way to Hachinosu along with Van Augre, and Shanks suspects that Blackbeard is going to invade Wano, I 100% agree with you
Isn't it rather bigoted to act like powers and fighting is not a core narrative thread in every arc of One Piece, and to dismiss someone's care for narrative consistency as "silly". Luffy does not win every fight with the power of friendship. That's what makes the story better than the other shonen imo. But this obviously necessitates a difference in power. The whole reason for 3D2Y is because Luffy needed an entire saga and losing his brother to realize he was not strong enough. If powerscaling "never matter" in One Piece then the time skip would have no reason to exist. Now, if you don't care about that. That's up to you. But why does that mean nobody else can?
literally, especially embracing the theme of freedom, it'd be counterintuitive to constrain it as such (it's still fun for Death Battles and stuff tho)
Funny when you think about it, people are trying to control their devil fruit, whereas all you need to do is not to control it, but just feel freedom because of it.
@@regiman222I Don't think even Nika is an exception like if your will isn't strong enough the zoan will take over during the awakening. This is partially happening with luffy as he is clearly out of tune with his regular character in gear 5.
@@sujithsudhakaran745 i hate to bring in naruto in here but metaphorically, like naruto, in the end he didnt control kurama and kurama didnt control naruto. they got their own thoughs, hence, freedom but they symbiotically live well together. but f naruto, one piece is better
@@ilmulhaqnordin1388 narutos case is very different actually beacuse kurama is is separate living entity that can even exist without Naruto if needed. The Nika fruit is not a living entity more like a persona it's more psychological than physical in a sense. The user and the fruits will are both fighting for dominace over the users body and neither is hostile in any way but each influence in their own way
I’m glad Bonney got this power up cuz now she can finally strike back at the people who made her life and her family’s a living hell. When Kuma punched Saturn it was satisfying but compared to the lifetime of pain he and the other Gorosei have inflicted on the Kumas it wasn’t enough for me. Now Bonney can deliver her revenge with her own hands and I’m excited to see what combo attacks two Sun Gods can come up with.
Twitter was one chapter away from quoting "super sayan bargain sale" unironically. But i had my own "He Laughed" moment with bonney. She's an adorable, overpowered toon now. What's not to love??
When they get to this part in the Anime, I want the "Drum's of Liberation" music for Bonney to be a synchronized metal guitar that matches luffy's drums.
Thats a goated take as it lines up more than vp talking bout luffy or his family or blackbeard or his family. "Within you there is also/already a power source, the name of it is called mother flame/ flames of liberation"
However the text was different,dude... He said AMONG you there s ... MO... Not inside you. Unless he was like among you there s mother flame s avatar etc etc...
Hopefully she dies so they can stop with this Disney/fairy tale ass writing “go Bonney ik you can do it!” That shi mad corny and copying the mc unique power Itd be like kakashi copying Naruto’s baryon mode
In reality it was confirmed long ago and Oda hid those confirmations. There are 3 strong pieces of evidence Oda left in plain sight. 1.) Bonney would be the 11th straw hat and Oda drew her setting out on her journey eleven hundred chaptrers after Luffy. 2.) The final panel of the chapter "Luffy's Dream" is Bonney popping out of the warm water eddy. 3.) When Bonney, Luffy, Jinbe, and Chopper arrive on Egghead it's an overt reference to Star Wars. Chopper is Chewbacca, Jinbe is han, the pilot, and Luffy who was made into an old man, who then lectures Bonney as she uses the lightsaber, is Obi Wan. This makes Bonney Luke. Obi Wan adopted Luke when he was 13 years old after his parental guardians were killed. Bonney is right around that age.
14:51 a time ago i read that oda didnt give franky more power ups bc he didnt know how to make franky's shoulders even bigger( as a joke) but now with this new chapter, making every strawhat a joyboy might just be the way to it
So many people have been theorizing this and it makes so much sense for her, it's amazing storytelling. It's been really rough on Egghead even though it's been fun, a lot of really harsh realities hit us and more importantly Bonney herself, so her seeing and beginning to believe in this freedom is a really strong moment.
14:53 This is the most measured take that I’m so relieved to hear. I feel like anime/manga fandoms can be very authoritative about how stories *should* progress or end, how characters *should* develop or power up, etc. And often times trying to create a logical rulebook of sorts to then beat the mangaka over the head with. This isn’t to negate constructive criticism or to say OP is perfect, I don’t consider dictating outcomes of a story so it meets your head-canon as constructive lol. Anyway, I just appreciate your approach here. Let’s understand the art Oda is sharing with the world, not force it into a box so it is digestible or follows specific rules that other anime might.
Oda (2022): I really want to joke around more in the final saga. Even if it becomes a manga that people say, "Your idea is boring," it can still be an entertainment for me. It'd be interesting if the topic of conversation was "One Piece is in big trouble." I'm going to enjoy it. Your pain and suffering So SUFFER Fack this fan base
A double edged sword of long running series. It reach the era where people just can't enjoy it simply with emotion and instead have to overthinking everything with logic in a fictional story.
11:18 - This could be the very start of the "darkest before dawn" scenario, with Bonney being brutally killed, stirring an Ace-style drama. Quite the opposite of the "ray of hope" scenario.
One possibility regarding Vegapunk's message I haven't seen people talking about: He could be talking about Law. Everyone's thinking it's about a traitor or an imposter within the D clan, but the last scrambled part of the message is talking about a name. What if it's about another, even more secretive clan with the D's, as in Trafalgar D. *Water* Law?
Nika Bonney makes so much sense. She tried to tap into an alternate future where she was nika but even though that should be impossible, we have luffy there who can warp reality thus allowing Bonney to realise her imagination.
well actually I saw a cool comment that actually gave both a cool explanation and adds to the narrative of the arc. "her fruit actually works based on what she knows and vs reality. Bonneys fruit is broken becasue shes a kid who doesnt know anything, as she becomes more and more informed as she becomes and adult her possibilities of her future become smaller and smaller as they converge towards reality. She can only do this rn bc she believes that she can become Nika if she is free but when she learns the nature of Luffy devil fruit and the truth of Nika her ability will diminish."
@@thetruewisegamer i disagree, the gorosei said that "she couldn't turn into Nika before because she couldn't imagine them existing", now that she understands Nika is freedom she can fully unlock the form
@@codebrackerit's more like she can only access a future of what she believe to exist and possible. If she can't imagine her being able to reach that future she can't access it. My opinion is that she isn't accessing alternate realities but she is creating ones through her imagination and belief.
Joy boy is anyone that can be completely free, some devil fruits and maybe even haki can achieve being completely free. Bony's fruit is a basic example of this as her fruit allows her to achieve anything (complete freedom) using her imagination.
I am excited for this power-up, cause it is exactly as Oda has made most of his other devil fruits and how I feel he was trying to explain devil fruits through Vegapunk. Power users are in their own realities, sort of like watching gods play in a sandbox with their own set of rules, and we just watched Bonney remove those proverbial rules and start playing around with her power freely.
Also I want to talk about the cover story. It said something like time to take off which makes me think Yamamoto is leaving want to find the straw hats now.
i can "understand" the blowup reaction to Bonnie's nika, but to those who do, I think you are missing the point. This isn't focused on Luffy giving Bonnie nika powers to have a strong ally, this is Luffy sharing the joy and liberation of freedom that Bonnie so desperately needs, reaching out his hand to her in the darkness as a ray of light saying "what are you waiting for? Let's live and be free". She's like an honorary Joy Boy and all things considered, given how Gear 5 can alter and effect basically anything and anyone around Luffy, it might be possible that Luffy himself being gear 5 is what allows this to happen, that Bonnie couldn't do it without him, and maybe even that Luffy can give others the ability to share in the joy of liberation and enable them to be a part of gear 5 too. tldr, be happy for Bonnie instead of being afraid of possible powerscaling
just feels rushed to me, the story progression for bonney goes too fast to give her a power with that status. Also some people dont like luffy's uniqueness being taken away...
I think it's less about luffy giving her the power, but more that Luffy finally explained her what Nika is. Now that she understands Nika is the power of freedom and believes in herself, she can finally use her power to become like Nika.
@@herobrineapril8451her whole df power is based on borrowed strength. Her power may be one of the rare fruits that loses it's power as the user ages more as far as we know. She becoming more powerfull doesn't mess with the story or powerscaling as her df power is just build like that as it doesn't depend on the users strength.
Still why the duck does it need to look exactly like luffy gear 5 form tho. You can get the point across without turning this shit into a kale situation from db.
@@imsentinelprime9279 it just makes sense that they look alike if they're using the same power, i don't see how that's hard to understand. Nika being so significant as a historical figure it also makes sense why they would make a consistent design for the power user.

Killua is actually the most dangerous character in hunter hunter because nanika has the power to grant any wish.

Or he could wish for a new nen ability with specific conditions like when killua is breathing his enemies cannot. If there was any person in hunter hunter who was equipped to survive the dark continent it would be gon killua and nanika as a team.
The fact that Luffy invited Boney made me okay with it.
It felt out of character for me tbh. I still didn't like it.
I mean, that’s the point of Gear 5 right? That Luffy finally has the strength to protect the freedom of those he cares about? To bring a smile to their faces in times of despair?
Unlike powerscalers, Luffy doesn’t give a shit about strength for strength’s sake. He cares about strength because it allows him to be free and to help his friends be free. I mean, the whole REASON he did the whole timeskip training was to make sure that what happened to Ace never happened again.
So of COURSE Luffy would invite Bonney to do this. That’s what he’s been working so hard all this time for. Not so that he can be the strongest guy in the room, but so that he can share freedom and joy with his friends.

You know what's ironic about all of this? Saturn was the reason why Bonney has those powers (he gave her a transfusion of it when she was younger). One of the Five Elders is indirectly responsible for another Nika showing up lol
Arrogance is always a villain's undoing.
Their hubris is steadily building up over this arc.
One often meets his destiny on the path to avoid it. Sounds like a familiar idea or theme in stories. Right?
That IS hilariously ironic. XD
He's also the only one responsible for her being the high commander of every pacifista with Kuma's face. If he was such a science type observer and smart, how come he never realized the true nature of Kuma and his influence over others (as well as Vega Punk's soft side). St Saturn really incarnates the downside of overwhelming power, which is total indifference for the 'weak' and never thinking of different forms of strength that can potentially undermine your sole objective which is ironically maintaining your position in power.

No one is talking about the fact that once Luffy popped Gear 5th the OCEAN began to bounce. If his reality bending power extends to the very sea itself and rubberizes that could be a huge gamechanger.
I thought this was huge and was something I'd wondered about being possible for quite a while now
Very interesting 👀👀👀

I did lol
Bungee gum has the properties of both rubber and gum.

what is interesting with that giant is that 200 years ago, when he attacked, someone probably activated the joyboy drums

I'm imagining a future where TOEI will draw Bonney making the famous Nika jump on front of the moon, but actually being on front of the sun. That would be extremely poetic.
That's interesting and I want to see it happening
Bonney is Kuma's personal Nika. He raised her to be the child she is today, to be full of hope and joy, to have a love of life and adventure and to look for a brighter future. He loved her and she loves him back.
People keep saying Saturn created a second Nika through his hubris. No. Saturn didn't create a second Nika.
Kuma did.
That panel where we see a flashback of him talking to Ginny's grave, where he says he'll raise Bonney well - he's seeing the culminations of him doing that. He's seeing Nika made real through his efforts to raise his child well. She's his joygirl, his sun.

Oda trusts his artistic process like all real artists should :D
All the Supernovas were.
Imagine bonnie awakening the fruit, being able to distort future for other people and seing a joy army
Luffy literally shows her how to punch an elder while in G5, she literally asks for a Nika-ish future in her flashback chapter, she was raised by Kuma who told her everything about the warrior of liberation and she has been seeking him for all of her pirate journey. Her fruit was stated to work on imagination. That people still call this an asspull completely baffles me.
That is some top tier BS. Her fruit was stated to work on imagination? No. We've always known it to be the Age-Age Fruit. She changes her age. This whole Distorted Future garbage is something Bonney logically shouldn't be able to do with her power. But all Oda does now is retcon fruits. That's all he knows how to do. I'm done with this show.
Luffy is dead. Forget about the One Piece, this is Nika Piece we're watching now. It's all about Nika and Nika will continue to spread like a disease. You get a Nika! And you get a Nika! Everyone gets a Nika!!

@dannickfausse3312 It's not so easy to drop a show you've watched 1100 episodes of. I love this show but it's my duty as a fan to call out bad writing when I see it, criticism leads to change for the better. So you telling me to just drop the show for pointing out bad writing is just being dishonest as a fan. I know I went on a rant, but I still love and want to continue loving this series, and it is dishonest not to point out inconsistencies when you spot them. Instead, focus on the points I made (aside from the rant) and try to argue with me. Won't you realize I'm making sense?
@@diamond-heart21 Nah I definitely don’t think your argument makes sense, sure Bonney’s fruit is the Age Age fruit or whatever but the distorted future shit is like 99% surely her awakening, I can see where ur coming from somewhat but other than Bonney literally no one else will get Nika’s powers. Not only that but this isn’t the first time we’ve seen something far fetched in One Piece like cmon bro Kaido has a fish fish fruit but is literally a fire breathing dragon. Not only that but doesn’t Bonney’s backstory heavily involve Nika? One Piece thematically is about dreams and will and we’ve quite literally seen how characters’ dreams can heavily affect others, themselves and sometimes even the environment around them, Vegapunk has stated that devil fruit powers come from dreams and desires, so in reality there’s pretty much no limit to what a devil fruit can achieve

I neam narratively and literally the iron giants purpose in egghead is to stall. For vegapunks message to continue and for everyone to get off the island
More than one Nika? Nanny Ogg of the Discworld said it best.
"...Only one of anything's no bloody use."
what you said about bonney’s transformation was so beautifully put. kuma’s backstory was the first time in a while the manga made me weep. and now to see his entire life’s worth of sacrifice (and ginny’s as well) pay off in the most thematically satisfying way is nothing short of incredible. i don’t care about power scaling for something like this, i think it’s just a very good example of a character arc coming full circle
The last spread is one of the most genuinely hopeful and beautifully uplifting scenes in the entire series. Was smiling ear to ear the whole time I read it. 😁
14:32 I love that oda made kuma smile with the cover page. Makes me feel weird. Like sadness but also, idk how to describe it
I like how Oda did the whole nika shenanigans with bonney because the girl who couldn't see the sun became the sun.
That's interesting. She literally made her dream a reality.
I’m impressed at how “the Iron Giant awakens” manages to (somehow)get used as a chapter cliffhanger AGAIN, despite the Giant having already been up and moving a few panels before
Like.. that is some real dedication to the art of stalling
The reveal will be even more satisfying!!
if ever...
I can't blame him tho
Imagine waking from a long

Just stop.
Is this some piratefolk cooperative event lol every one of them making the same 2 comments
JoyGirl is now canon
So two things about this arc that I feel kind of iffy about are the fact that a lot of the history of the world was just revealed freely without the historian Nico robin discovering because I feel like that was her main mission since her introduction…and they don’t even give her reaction to what vegapunk revealed and that Bonny becoming nika takes away a little of what was special about Luffy getting this transformation
We just learned that there was massive ass flood and absolutely nothing else that would be that important. There is enough history still left to be uncovered. And considering there are only probably two-three major arcs left, that's fine.
okay so in all honesty yeah, you,Morj, and joyboy are literally the only one piece theoriests that i can actually bare watching for 20 minutes. Thumbs up to u

I completely agree with your take on Bonney. All the people that are malding about it on twitter are the same people that can't view any given Panel without trying to extrapolate Power Scaling Data from that.
For Bonny to achieve this state, through the inspiration and encouragment of Luffy, doesnt only achieve Kumas Desire for his Daughters freedom, but it also shows that Luffys ability to inspire people has grown exponentially since Mihawk identified this as Luffys strongest Power in Marineford. And isn't that exactly what the Warrior of Liberation is supposed to do?
Kuma spent Bonney’s entire childhood instilling her with hope via the tales of Nika. Bonney was on the brink of losing that hope as the result of all Saturn put her and Kuma through.
She almost lost her ability to become Nika - her ability to imagine a world where she is free, because of Saturn.
Luffy inspired her. Brought hope back into her world. And so she manages to become Nika by imagining a world where she is free.
It is SUCH an amazing story.
This is perfect, the warrior of liberation would want to not only be totally free but spread the dream of total freedom, propagating it through the world. Now he’s got a protege to help pave that future of ultimate freedom
I don't think any arguments can top the emotion I felt seeing that final page spread and being reminded of everything character-wise that led up until that moment. So, regardless of how broken she ends up becoming, I just remind myself that this is what Kuma fought for.
Man the idea of Rocks being a buggy type character, though unlikely, is just so amusing to me that I desperately hope it turns out to be true.

Or am I seriously misunderstanding and/or seriously overthinking this whole thing lol. Thanks!
gotta agree with you on Bonney. it's so awesome to see that she can become her own Nika. both for potential comedy with both using their toon powers but also thematically as she becomes free from everything and finally gets to enjoy life without worry or regret
I don’t know how I could have possibly not considered the fact that Bonney can actually give the rest of the straw hats gear 5th
Luffy's gonna pull the the plug at the bottom of the sea and drain it
I bet that's what the actual One Piece is.
@@Dtoons a giant bath plug
That's the time limit of the final arc
The D stands for drain.
I was thinking that too. It sounds so ridiculous that it might actually happen. The One Piece is not destroying the Red Line (which will still happen and destroy fishman island), but it involves draining most of the sea to return the world to the original one continent, one piece. Roger might have even found the plug created by the previous Joy Boy but only Joy Boy can lift it because it is that huge. It was so stupid it made him laugh.
“Prepare for trouble”
“and make it double “

I am so glad you addressed the controversy!! Bonney replicating Luffy's G5 is amazing as an emotional moment!! power scalers will not be satisfied by this chapter..
I really love this outcome because it feels consistent for Luffy. He just wants to support and liberate people. He's been doing that since the very start of the series with Koby and kept doing it up until the new world with Momonosuke. So of course he wants Bonney to become as free as possible too. It's in-character for him.
That Volume 109 cover is fantastic, Oda deciding to change Kuma's expression is so touching.
Gorosei: He is Nika, he is Nika, you are Nika, I'm Nika! Are there any other Nikas I should know about!?
What if vegapunk'a message gets turned back on but we only here the last little bit and not the part where he got cut off
At first with how they were talking about gear 5 luffy before he transformed it sounded like to me he had the actual creative mode of devil fruits but I was wrong seems like Bonney could use distorted future for any devil fruit now like she could take the gura gura no mi if she wanted to so she’s actually got creative mode on
12:46 This is absolutely spot on. Beautifully explained 👏🏾
I saw this coming, but Bruh I laughed and cried tears of joy when Kuma saw his daughter completely free.

I love that one piece doesn't care about the internet's really silly power scaling debate
Considering how inconsistent the powers were for a while you think they would be used to it by now 😂
Isn't it rather bigoted to act like powers and fighting is not a core narrative thread in every arc of One Piece, and to dismiss someone's care for narrative consistency as "silly".
Luffy does not win every fight with the power of friendship. That's what makes the story better than the other shonen imo. But this obviously necessitates a difference in power. The whole reason for 3D2Y is because Luffy needed an entire saga and losing his brother to realize he was not strong enough.
If powerscaling "never matter" in One Piece then the time skip would have no reason to exist.
Now, if you don't care about that. That's up to you. But why does that mean nobody else can?

Bonney as Luffy's 10th crewmember would be cool
That might depend on what happens with Kuma.
“One piece just did a thing” I assume it did cause it’s one piece
The end of the chapter pretty much confirms that Bonney is joining the crew as a cabin girl
In reality it was confirmed long ago and Oda hid those confirmations.
There are 3 strong pieces of evidence Oda left in plain sight.
1.) Bonney would be the 11th straw hat and Oda drew her setting out on her journey eleven hundred chaptrers after Luffy.
2.) The final panel of the chapter "Luffy's Dream" is Bonney popping out of the warm water eddy.
3.) When Bonney, Luffy, Jinbe, and Chopper arrive on Egghead it's an overt reference to Star Wars. Chopper is Chewbacca, Jinbe is han, the pilot, and Luffy who was made into an old man, who then lectures Bonney as she uses the lightsaber, is Obi Wan. This makes Bonney Luke. Obi Wan adopted Luke when he was 13 years old after his parental guardians were killed. Bonney is right around that age.
14:51 a time ago i read that oda didnt give franky more power ups bc he didnt know how to make franky's shoulders even bigger( as a joke) but now with this new chapter, making every strawhat a joyboy might just be the way to it
So many people have been theorizing this and it makes so much sense for her, it's amazing storytelling. It's been really rough on Egghead even though it's been fun, a lot of really harsh realities hit us and more importantly Bonney herself, so her seeing and beginning to believe in this freedom is a really strong moment.
We got second Nika before Gta 6
Awesome star wars reference and that double page spread when it's animated will be so glorious
It's already glorious
@ethan8649 I didn't say it wasn't and I agree it is double Nika LFG
That Star Wars reference is exactly what the Gorosei are saying 🤣🤣🤣
14:53 This is the most measured take that I’m so relieved to hear. I feel like anime/manga fandoms can be very authoritative about how stories *should* progress or end, how characters *should* develop or power up, etc. And often times trying to create a logical rulebook of sorts to then beat the mangaka over the head with. This isn’t to negate constructive criticism or to say OP is perfect, I don’t consider dictating outcomes of a story so it meets your head-canon as constructive lol. Anyway, I just appreciate your approach here. Let’s understand the art Oda is sharing with the world, not force it into a box so it is digestible or follows specific rules that other anime might.
Oda (2022): I really want to joke around more in the final saga. Even if it becomes a manga that people say, "Your idea is boring," it can still be an entertainment for me. It'd be interesting if the topic of conversation was "One Piece is in big trouble." I'm going to enjoy it. Your pain and suffering So SUFFER
Fack this fan base
i really loved the panel where the itsumade elder guy was looking at the two nikas like "chat is this real"
Next on the menu for Luffy and Bonney?
Giant Chicken wings
A double edged sword of long running series. It reach the era where people just can't enjoy it simply with emotion and instead have to overthinking everything with logic in a fictional story.
The irony of people needing to overcomplicate and create their rules in a story about freedom 😂
And by it, enjoying less a character that brings joy 😂
I hope that Enel's moon robots freak out every time Gear 5 show up like the Iron Giant does.
11:18 - This could be the very start of the "darkest before dawn" scenario, with Bonney being brutally killed, stirring an Ace-style drama. Quite the opposite of the "ray of hope" scenario.
One possibility regarding Vegapunk's message I haven't seen people talking about: He could be talking about Law. Everyone's thinking it's about a traitor or an imposter within the D clan, but the last scrambled part of the message is talking about a name. What if it's about another, even more secretive clan with the D's, as in Trafalgar D. *Water* Law?
Pretty sure Water is just a middle name so it wouldn’t be passed down. Now *Trafalgar* on the other hand.
Unless I’m forgetting something.
Nika Bonney makes so much sense. She tried to tap into an alternate future where she was nika but even though that should be impossible, we have luffy there who can warp reality thus allowing Bonney to realise her imagination.
well actually I saw a cool comment that actually gave both a cool explanation and adds to the narrative of the arc. "her fruit actually works based on what she knows and vs reality. Bonneys fruit is broken becasue shes a kid who doesnt know anything, as she becomes more and more informed as she becomes and adult her possibilities of her future become smaller and smaller as they converge towards reality. She can only do this rn bc she believes that she can become Nika if she is free but when she learns the nature of Luffy devil fruit and the truth of Nika her ability will diminish."
Yeah, I am also wondering if Luffy's powers are making her transformation possible
@@thetruewisegamerthis is what saturn said.
@@thetruewisegamer i disagree, the gorosei said that "she couldn't turn into Nika before because she couldn't imagine them existing", now that she understands Nika is freedom she can fully unlock the form
@@codebrackerit's more like she can only access a future of what she believe to exist and possible. If she can't imagine her being able to reach that future she can't access it. My opinion is that she isn't accessing alternate realities but she is creating ones through her imagination and belief.
I see Liam has dropped Better Health for Raid. Good for him.
Joy boy is anyone that can be completely free, some devil fruits and maybe even haki can achieve being completely free. Bony's fruit is a basic example of this as her fruit allows her to achieve anything (complete freedom) using her imagination.
I am excited for this power-up, cause it is exactly as Oda has made most of his other devil fruits and how I feel he was trying to explain devil fruits through Vegapunk. Power users are in their own realities, sort of like watching gods play in a sandbox with their own set of rules, and we just watched Bonney remove those proverbial rules and start playing around with her power freely.
Also I want to talk about the cover story. It said something like time to take off which makes me think Yamamoto is leaving want to find the straw hats now.
i can "understand" the blowup reaction to Bonnie's nika, but to those who do, I think you are missing the point.
This isn't focused on Luffy giving Bonnie nika powers to have a strong ally, this is Luffy sharing the joy and liberation of freedom that Bonnie so desperately needs, reaching out his hand to her in the darkness as a ray of light saying "what are you waiting for? Let's live and be free".
She's like an honorary Joy Boy and all things considered, given how Gear 5 can alter and effect basically anything and anyone around Luffy, it might be possible that Luffy himself being gear 5 is what allows this to happen, that Bonnie couldn't do it without him, and maybe even that Luffy can give others the ability to share in the joy of liberation and enable them to be a part of gear 5 too.
tldr, be happy for Bonnie instead of being afraid of possible powerscaling
just feels rushed to me, the story progression for bonney goes too fast to give her a power with that status. Also some people dont like luffy's uniqueness being taken away...
I think it's less about luffy giving her the power, but more that Luffy finally explained her what Nika is. Now that she understands Nika is the power of freedom and believes in herself, she can finally use her power to become like Nika.
@@herobrineapril8451her whole df power is based on borrowed strength. Her power may be one of the rare fruits that loses it's power as the user ages more as far as we know. She becoming more powerfull doesn't mess with the story or powerscaling as her df power is just build like that as it doesn't depend on the users strength.
Still why the duck does it need to look exactly like luffy gear 5 form tho. You can get the point across without turning this shit into a kale situation from db.
@@imsentinelprime9279 it just makes sense that they look alike if they're using the same power, i don't see how that's hard to understand. Nika being so significant as a historical figure it also makes sense why they would make a consistent design for the power user.
