This is the BEST ELBALF theory ever made! You really did your research. Easy to understand and follow! I dig this! I hope everything you mentioned happens in this long arc we have ahead!
My guess for something that happens in the arc is that the Adam tree gets poison/destroyed in some way and Usopp utilizes his plant knowledge to help restore the tree or grow a new one... one thing that has always bothered me is that Usopp was sent to learn about plants during the timeskip instead of learning sniping/shooting techniques and it seems that Oda was setting up for a potential event for the Adam tree and Usopp coming to the rescue and becoming revered by the Giants for saving the tree.
That could also have some fun parallels with the Nolan flashback, where all of the trees have been poisoned and it's harming the people, so Nolan chops all the trees since they were already dead. Now, Usopp saves a tree from dying and harming anyone reliant on that tree
Yea, it's kinda hilarious how everyone learns haki or gets a huge upgrade in their area of expertize and usopp just learns how to gain and lose weight and new ammo
I need Warland to have a snowy region so I can get an origin for the Yeti Cool Brothers. The unexplained existence of those hairy giants has bothered me for years.
I feel that the Ancient Giants might be the ideal stand-ins for a ''Troll'' Race. Since Trolls are giant creatures and Ancient Giants are gigantic even to Giants. On that note, Lunarian are a good equivalent to the Valkyrie and the Three-Eye Tribe could effectively be Elves. The Tontatta are obviously Dwarfs.
I really hope Enel and Urouge make a comeback here. In fact they might be great antagonistic characters to the Fantastic Four Straw Hats that remain at the Great Erik.
Not to put others down but Randy, your theory videos are the only ones I watch. I think it's because of your level-headed, deep understanding of One Piece, your background as a writer and your appreciation for the mythologies and inspirations of One Piece and how they would realistically influence the story. All of which really resonate with me and keep me coming back to your channel despite my personal decline in watching One Piece content due to how far we are into the story and how close we are to the big answers which has increased my lack of interest in most theory content. All of which to say that I really appreciate your videos despite it all, because of what you bring to the table which has elevated my appreciation for One Piece.
I had forgotten about Odin spiking himself to the tree. This is now my personal head canon for Luffy alongside him sacrificing his eye which has been there since the beginning. There are just way, way too many parallels between Odin and Luffy for this to not happen. As an aside, Wheel of Time folks will know that just like Matrim Cuathon, Odin loves to wear a cape and a straw hat. There's just no way this doesn't happen. Loved this video.
Loved this video. Norse lore is such a rich and really varied well of stories to draw from. I am so excited for Elbaf and most of all I am excited for Oda to surprise us as he ALWAYS does. Not even the Allfather himself could have seen Lego Land being the start of this arc after all. Great work Randy! Small personal prediction: I think it would be fun if Usopp invents a pair of gloves that allow him to lift a giant hammer. Thor was said to have a pair of iron gloves that he could not properly wield Mjolnir without.
Just love that i can type the letter "r" in my search, and it autofills Randy "The man marked by Drip" Troy. Cant wait to loop this tonight. Thanks for the upload.
Randy's cooking like Christ for the 5,000! Your speculation about how Luffy might be the eyepatch pirate AND how he might prove himself to Shanks gave me genuine shivers... It's crazy to think about what we *may* see some day in OP as foreshadowing, sooner than we might think.
Great video Captain. I’m loving the theorizing and relating it back to actual Norse mythology. We can only hope for some of it to come true. Especially the Enel theories. We’ve all wanted him to come back for over a decade now. Here’s hoping it happens.
It's really time for the crew to finally discover a fruit in nature after 1100 chapters. But even after all this time I still doubt Oda would give it without a fight, maybe the Ratatoskr character serve as an arbiter/announcer whenever a fruit appears. I secretly hope Usopp would be forced into a duel with a giant because Kanjuro's fruit chose him. Kanjuro's fruit chose him. On another note, it's curious how Kaido also had a squirrel smile user as a messenger, especially as Kaido was designed as a failed joyboy. Maybe Ratatoskr will be another cursed characters with ancient ties? There is so much to speculate about...
I'm officially over 3 hours into this one hour video. This has been a great backdrop to a full day of hauling junk round town. You put an impressive amount of research into this. Learning about Norse myths make this vid entertaining all on its own
Remember Ace was offered a golden apple in Alabaster which was said to make him live a thousand years and he rejected it but Usopp and Chopper almost bought it until they found it was a scam 😂😂😂
Randy your videos are always a real treat. There are some fantastic theory crafters out there, and there are some channels I dig whose takes are very reasonable and well-made. That being said, you are SO consistently close or bang on with a lot of your predictions and callouts where a lot of other reasonable folks miss. You really do such a great job, and you’re entertaining while you do it. Content like yours just adds enjoyment to the series we all love for so many people. Thanks man!
Another good one Randy! On the lore that some alcohols, beers or meads have powers, what if drinking Absinthe is what allows you to cross through into the Nordic realms? Perhaps different “fairies” allow you to go to different realms. Second idea, the different realms could focus on 1 straw hat’s growth each.
Good video. I look forward to see: - Usopp getting his time to shine - a touching reunion Robin & Saul - Luffy learning more about Nika - some Amazon Lily references with or without Vivi's ancestor involved As for the Kid part, I strongly believe that he'll have a major comeback & character development, just like what Luffy got after Sabody & Marineford!
W Randy, I'm sorry I haven't watched/commented on the last couple of videos. I continue to look forward to your upcoming content even if I haven't been as active as I once was.
Funny thing is, as big as Elbaf is...Kidd rolled up at the absolute worst place possible. And the worst time, Shanks and crew were getting ready to leave. If he was a day later or landed anywhere else on this massive land he would have been ok. I'm a Kidd fan, I love his powers, his attacks, his overall theme...and maybe we'll see him again and he can meet Lillith and we can see if Oda really has a VP theme with Kidd???
One Norse mythology thing that could be cool if it’s integrated is the fact that there are actually TWO different characters named Loki, who have extremely different characterizations. There’s Aesir Loki, and then Utgard Loki, who is a frost giant that ends up providing a bunch of tests to Thor and company. It would be really cool if we’ve heard all this stuff about one Loki, then one group of strawhats meets Loki and he’s totally different from what we’ve heard, only for us to find out that they’re two distinct characters who share the same name. #elbafhype
Some kind of giant magic, be it runes or whatever, would help explain Shanks' crew a little. If the ship is covered in it that could be how they get around so fast. It may also have something to do with Lucky Roo(spelling?). He's the fasted man alive but hasn't eaten a fruit. That's always seemed incredibly strange. Usopp getting Mjollnir would be sweet and has been pretty heavily set-up so it doesn't even seem farfetched. I really like how Elbaf has so many possibilities for less utilized members of the crew. Franky could be doing shipwright stuff, Robin get's to do major history stuffs, Usopps has his whole thing. Would be nice to see them doing their niche things again.
Been a fan for a few years now. You’ve easily become one of the core people I watch consistently. Easily one of the best people to root for on this platform
1. Everyone is going to Elbaf. My theory is that we are going to get a second timeskip after Elbaf since the Straw Hats having people to train each member. Brook having possibly Yorki. Franky and Lilith upgrade his body. Robin training with haki and rokushiki with Saul. Chopper finding the cherry blossom formula that hiruluk was looking for and learns Sulong form. 5. Sanji and Ivankov. 4. Usopp with Dory and Broggy 3. Nami and Mimir. 2. Zoro and Shanks. 1. Luffy, Kidd, Law, and Bonney at Urouge's finishing school in Valhalla.
56:30 The Shanks teleport method could be linked with the Mugis recent separation, conecting all to a devil fruit "bifrost" or literally "the rainbow". Shanks could have used it sometime before as a favor. And the user maybe being Loki who can use this fruit to cast mirror, magic and illusions even teleportation.
Man I hope Usopp doesn't become a "brave warrior of the sea" this arc because the most he's ever verbally described this dream is this: "Even if some day I lose everything and face death alone in a deserted isle, I'll die proud of the way I lived and I'll say 'I am Usopp, a Brave Warrior of the Sea!!'" I do expect Usopp to die at some point because of this quote and the fact that it could potentially be this arc is terrifying.
As soon as Master Chef Troy started dropping the WWF/NWA/World Class lore I ascended, brother! I could feel the fire Strawhat Jacket-Jacket fruit take hold and Gear 4th Jörmungandr put me in that Anaconda Vice, Mean Oda! Another banger video from Captain Cook, Randy "Macho Man Savage Crew Chieftain" Inverted W. Troy! Feel that vibe, WOOOOOOO~~~ 🤼♀🔥🏴☠ Edit: 35:19 had to include the Arrested Development reference.
Gotta love the Terminator theme playing in the background while Randy reads out the Surfshark VPN ad. This man pays attention to the details. 👏🏽 I’m ready for this beefy Theory video. Thanks for your hard work.
Your theory and explanation of the Norae mythology are great. I personally think it depends on Oda sensei that if he didn't want to stretch the arc into many realms as mythology, he might mix everything up or the past islands represent each realm, and end up with Ragnarok. I'm thrilled to read the rest. I wish to see elf and i also hope Vivi will show up soon.
Thank you Randy! I know making youtube videos is a lot, along with having a job and family, so we really appreciate all the work you put into these big long videos!!
awesome video randy. appreciate all the time you put into this. this was awesome. so many different ways oda could go with this and i guarantee he’s still gonna subvert all our expectations!!!
Still not halfway through the video, but I never saw the connection of Vivi having her moniker be Ms. Wednesday. Maybe she's the one who will have to sacrifice an eye to gain hidden knowledge and become the eyepatch pirate. Vivi would look pretty cool with an eyepatch.
We might need another video like this, but with a focus on the ''Fables'' part of Elbaf since that is also the other big inspiration for the arc. The Big Bad Wolf, The Boy who Cried Wolf, Hansel and Gretel, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Pied Piper, etc.
I loved this video a lot: You have a great way of speaking! The way you weaved bits of theorizing/thought exercises into Norse Mythology Lore Dumping is amazing. Lots of food for thought. Thank you chef! 🔥🧑🍳
my favourite one piece theoriser and channel, good research as always. but as you said, i hope oda surprises both you and us and we didn't get spoiled by your predictions literally lol
I don't even care what really happens in the arc, but I swear to God, Usopp better have a good moment throughout the arc. We have been waiting for this for so long.
I live in Denmark and grew up with tales of the Nordic gods and read the Valhalla comics by Peter Madsen, so I'm excited to see what sort of inspiration Oda is going to draw from the mythology :)
For me I think Usopp’s going to have a moment with Loki with him telling Usopp that he can’t be a brave ‘warrior’ because he’s a trickster. I also saw a Dak Saki video where he said that Loki hates Elbaf culture and wants it to be more civilised and join the Reveri, which could give him and audio an interesting dynamic. As for Kidd I think he’s probably going to be like Luffy after Marineford except he’s at the depression stage and Luffy’s going to be his Jimbie and help him, ending with Kidd giving them a vivra card, or the like, for the Man Marked by Flame.
I can’t believe the algorithm has never shown me this channel! All I watch on RUclips is One Piece stuff since 2007. I’d have been here years ago! I learned of you today when Joyboy_theories mentioned you in his video. I’m ringing the bell! Great video, friend!
Having the head of Mimir God-of-war-style would be such a nice companion for brook. OR WAIT A MINUTE. BROOK COULD GO HEAD ONLY COLLECTING INFO LIKE IN WANO BEING CALLED MIMIR IN THE PROCESS!!!
@43:16 if I’m not mistaken (and i can be) mimir becomes a talking head….. much like vegapunks floating brain. I think you are spot on with the mimir reference.
This video should have a 1000000 views! So well presented, humble and non presumptuous. Gosh, expert work I'm subbing. I knew you were interesting since the reverie on jay d legend!
Truly speaking into alot of my personal thoughts on this up coming arc. Personally I think the Winter Solstice is going to play a role but it will help catapult Luffy into gaining a way to fix his one weakness, which is endurance and the fasting is the only way he can fully awaken his fruits full potential.
This is the BEST ELBALF theory ever made! You really did your research. Easy to understand and follow! I dig this! I hope everything you mentioned happens in this long arc we have ahead!

I think you are spot on with the mimir reference.
I think the wedding that Shanks attended in the Decks of the World Cover Story will play a big role in the Elbaf arc.
Ooooh nice call out. Imagine loki is already married? I'd love that
This video should have a 1000000 views! So well presented, humble and non presumptuous. Gosh, expert work I'm subbing. I knew you were interesting since the reverie on jay d legend!
Truly speaking into alot of my personal thoughts on this up coming arc. Personally I think the Winter Solstice is going to play a role but it will help catapult Luffy into gaining a way to fix his one weakness, which is endurance and the fasting is the only way he can fully awaken his fruits full potential.
This is gonna be such a great arc! SAVAGE
6:20 youre right. this is a will be a test of how powerful his will really is.
It's crazy that even this far into the story we still have no idea what is coming up next in each arc
