Upon its awakening, zunesha heard the drums, and recognised those drums from a familiar person he knew before he was set on his wandering punishment: Joyboy. Its not cause zunesha recognised joyboy, that luffy awakened.
Or maybe he nicknamed himself nika because it sounded like niku which translates in English to meat, his favorite food. Anytime luffy talks about meat throughout the anime, he calls it niku. Going with your nickname theory, wouldn’t that explanation be more natural than the whole ichika thing? Besides that, this is a great and interesting theory and the most dedicated one I’ve seen in a while
YO THATS A GREAT IDEA!! Fits right into all the themes I laid out just as well as Ichika, if not better. I’ll def be mentioning this in a future video/stream. And thanks for the compliment - more vids on the way :)
Languages change over time... given 800 years... maybe Nika was how they pronounced Niku... which also slots right into your theory of people having alternate names based on how they are perceived by outsiders.
This goes back to the"when you eat it yk the name" thing,he never ever referred to it as Hito,he STILL doesn't go HITO HITO NO BAJRAN GUN,good DF theory
FACTS! Everything luffy did was rubber based except *maybe* the appearance, but even that all white appearance with red eyes was seen before in Sulong and Hody with the steroids, so nothing about is truly “godly” IMO, just a rubber boy
This doesn’t make sense… Kaido literally pointed out Luffy’s G5 transformation resembles that of a zoan fruit rather than a paramecia. Doesn’t that basically confirm that it is indeed the mythical Nika fruit?
i'll be honest that when you said you were gonna deduce nika's real name i thought you were gonna go on a giant leap and guess the name but that ichika/nika deduction kinda blew my mind by how fitting it is for Oda to do just by his personality lmao
theory: sanji is based on Nikas appearance with curly eyebrows and white hair, his father know of this power with vegapunk so he wanted his children based off of powerful fruits with sanji being assigned to it
Dak you never miss. I’d love to discuss this further sometime. Btw Seto from Skypiea… also love the sky islands as an origin because they don’t know what rubber is
Let’s discuss this soon bro!! While some of this is a shot in the dark I do feel like there’s a lot here to build off of for maybe something more concrete
I've always believed that joyboy was nothing more then a title, but if you think about it a zoans awakening shouldn't effect the outside world like a n awakened paramecia fruit, so sticking with this theors the gumo gumo no mi's awakening could be the ability to stretch reality, which could explain Luffys wacky abilities in gear 5th and the sun god is just a title that people liked and thought fitting for their savior since nika is known as a liberator
In the road to Laugh Tale, there where a list of Devil Fruits, it had both The Hito-Hito no Mi; Model: Nika and the Gomu-Gomu no Mi. So 2 different fruits!
Thanks for taking a chance on me!! And yeah it is a bit of a shot in the dark, I’m sure at least some elements of this theory will end up being wrong but I think some parts are also on the money, so we will see. Thanks again for subbing!
I think you’re onto something for sure - it would be very Oda-esque to have all these places worship “different gods” but it’s really just luffy who isn’t a god at all
Looking back at this now with the latest chapter of Vegapunk and desire. Maybe the fruit luffy ate was the hito hito nika which was just a fruit conjured by the desire to be that original god like guy who ate the actual gomu gomu like you said. It would be even cooler and meta that ancient civilizations drew stories/manga of nika thus luffy becomes white. And it’s basically a meta joke on the real life luffy for us which is just black and white doing all these crazy things. The kids that read one piece desired to be luffy. Just like the kids in the ancient civilization desired to be nika a cartoon tale.
I also like this theory bc I always loved the idea that the one piece is just literally the one piece like the actual manga so it’s concept generating itself through desire is cool
I love the concept and you properly backed up your statements and ideas but my only critique is how Luffy's gears can't be explained legitimately without some strange reality warping capabilities. Since his body has the traits of rubber, he shouldn't realistically be able to blow air into his bones and move it around his skeleton; this is explained with the eccentric abilities of Nika's fruit. Otherwise I love the speculation on Nika not being the actual person, that's great!
Thank you again for watching and commenting!! And yeah some of it is definitely hard to pin down, but I think some of those abilities (blowing air into bones) may be like “an early stage of awakening”. Awakening let him inflate at will with his imagination, so maybe when he blew air in his bones it made it “easier to imagine” the bones expanding, if that makes sense. So he didn’t fully awaken but the motion of blowing air in maybe made the imagination part easier? Little tin foily
@@DaksSake I like your theory, even if the end is a bit tinfoily. If I add my tinfoil hat to that, I would say that Ni- is the start of his Name, and his sibling startet with an I- or Ich-, maybe who we now know as Im-sama/Imu, is the first sibling, cause I like the theory of Imu and Joyboy being related, Imu being the immortal one. Man I am so excited for all the mysteries being discovered and Oda wanting to show us everything. The last Saga will be so hype.
@@gehtdichnichtsan2418 that is also a good take!! The end is def tin foily, I just figured I’d take a stab - but I’m 100% sure there is *something* up with the names for sure even if it’s not what I theorized! I can’t wait to find it out either 🙏🏼
Well this re-vigorates my old though of Nika meaning being oil oil fruit rather than it being human model. You see, oil has gravity, thickness determines it's gravity, and lightest crude oil is white/transparent. What is rubber made out of? Oil. Sap is oil too. What did luffy's awakening actually allow him to do? Rubberise things? Or change the gravity of those things to make them, drum roll, oily and thus rubber. Ultimately there are four components of oil: Asphaltene Aromatics Resin Saturates This are: Hard rocks or extremely viscous non-newtonian fluids. Burning gasses. Non-newtonian fluids of not so extreme level The liquid body. Basically oil oil fruit awakening would allow you to go and turn your solid red line into a liquid. So far we have seen going from solid to non-newtonian fluid and there is red hawk.
Agreed. I can almost see Rocks as like a Luffy/Buggy hybrid in a sense - a fun loving guy who also had some brains to build an org that brought in top tier pirates like cross guild
What if he is directly like buggy. Like he wasn’t powerful to begin with, just happen to be at the right place and time. If he was really powerful, his ex crew members might be proud of their connections to him, thus once a while mentioning their exploits. It seems that there were no impacts to when the rocks pirates disbanded
maybe joyboy and nika are from the same era but joyboy was seen as the pirate king and nika was seen as a god same as luffy and buggy, with luffy being seen as the pirate king and buggy being seen as a god
The only issue with that would be the fruit - it seems like each of the 3 used it? But I do like the idea of tbere being parallels between Luffy/Buggy… like Roger/Rocks too
This is just *EPIC !!!* You just made one of the greatest Anime - * a true epic Hero Series* with this video 👏👏👏🙏 Awesome. Loved it and above all it is extremely logical. Nicely done.
That is a very interesting idea, Jb and nika not being the same person. That does make me wonder about zunisha tho. And also if nika was the sun god what about the other gods. Maybe there were just a set of siblings that all ate DF's and became known as gods.
I was thinking that as well. The gomu user became the “sun god” and so did the fruit, maybe Buggy’s “bari bari” became the “rain god fruit”, etc. and history is sort of repeating itself. Where the fruits are normal fruits, but certain people use them with god like potential and people fear them as gods bc of the powers
Well in my old theory I brought up the trinity, basing it up on 4 different languages where Nika has a solid meaning. In greek two meanings: chosen and Jesus Christ in greek code language. Grandfather, father and youngest son in Persian, Pashto and Saraiki. The last meaning is referring to oil. It has coptic religious origins and is replaceable with annointed one on english. So gomu gomu no mi turned to Nika Nika no mi is oil oil fruit that has been passed down trough three generations.
I think you might be onto something with this one, the comment from benny feig also makes sense though but all of this would indeed be very oda like. Glad i found your channel, been awhile since i found someone with convincing theories
Paramecia only transform the environment around them to match the nature of their fruit , right? But strangely , Luffy somehow made Kaidos body rubbery
Yeah that’s what we have been made to believe and kinda odd, but since many other paramecia naturally affect their opponent even without awakening (Bonneys for example) I think for now we can just chalk it up to “affecting the environment” includes opponents too until we learn more
This is one of the first thoughts I also had after the reveal especially because making the main character a literal god would not fit into the way that kind of thing has been portrayed throughout the story
Myth doesn’t only mean a fake story, that is a modern use term, the original meaning of myth is a story that explains the creation or origins of something. By this definition, many things that are true can be considered myths.
@@hiss9989 The reason I said it is because both definitions are still being used today. So that could also happen to the mythical zoans, they could be the origin of something or their creation or use caused the creation of phenomena in the world.
Liked the take n subbed even tho uf over 1k, let's see what else u have mate, I watch alot of theories n some I won't watch all the way thru, but urs was intriguing, good job
Great work once again! You think G5 could just be a "hybrid form"? As in Luffy has both paramecia and zoan abilities in his fruit...but we only got his paramecia awakening, Par mentioned this awhile back and wanted to see if you think it's possible!
If I had to give an answer right now I personally think it’s more likely that Gear 5 is basically a way to dope himself to an extreme degree, like Gear 2 on steroids. Why would the heart beating oddly cause a hybrid form? He looks too similar to Hody and Sulong (which weren’t DF related, more like doping related) for me to think otherwise *yet*
I really like this so far. Luffy always copies other peoples attcks and abilities so him copying sulong form is so smart. It’s like super gear 2 plus awakening abilities.
Yuppp, Sulong is about the “primal instincts” coming out or whatever for minks. Probably through some bodily change in heart rate or what have you. Well what are primal instincts for the freest person ever??? Stretching at will apparently haha
Great vid, but I’m still thinking he’s mythical Zoan, based on a god. Gear 5 is unmistakable as a Zoan mythical transformation when you look at coulds it creates like Kaido and Momo’s Flame Clouds and Yamato’s Snow Clouds. Also the fruit display more than one form of power like all Mythical Zoans have. It’s rubber like Qualities even it effecting his surroundings, and resurrection(Healing like awakened zoans), being able to transform into a giant getting physical boost on all his stats( like awakened zoans) Maybe your right on the history of Joyboy but it’s clear that Luffys fruit is not the rubber fruit.
Hmmm you have some good points there, I feel like there’s a million ways Oda could twist this (since we didn’t even hear about Nika till 1018) with all the lore he’s built up so I’m pumped to find out
‘There really is no answer to what the true name of the fruit is’ The Elders litterally say they gave it the Alternate name of the Gum Gum Fruit to try and hide ot. The True name is the Nikka Fruit which allows the user to become Joy Boy Hiding Nike (meaning smile) as the Gum Gum Fruit is also a clever yet obvious giveaway. They named it after the gums of the mouth.
Canonically, the gorosei said “alternate” or “other” name. It’s not certain either way what the real name is. As I said in the video, it’s likely that people called it the Sun God Nika fruit because they just figured “well those are the same powers as who we called god so it’s Nika’s fruit!”, and that’s why the gorosei gave it the “gomu gomu” name. But that doesn’t mean the fruit wasn’t gomu gomu originally. The only thing we have confirmed for sure is that it was called the Nika fruit at some point and the gov wanted to hide it. But we don’t know what the actual real original name is - and since all the powers are strictly paramecia-esque rubber abilities other than appearance, I feel like it being just a rubber power makes sense. It’s def not for sure either way so we will have to see!
@@DaksSake The real name is the Nikka Fruit. If it wasn’t they wouldn’t have changed it to the Gum Gum Fruit to hide it. And the obvious Gum is in teeth as in smiling would not work
Here's one for you. Luffy's zoan awakening is still in line with a mythical zone. The unique trait of mythical zoans is that they grant supernatural abiilities. The nika fruit grants supernatural freedom by making it's user rubbery and able to manipulate their own body. The awakening increases this freedom to include freedom to manipulate the environment.
love this! this explains why luffy doesnt know about the rubber fruit's other name model: nika (by the govt) when he ate it, its purely rubber and it depends on the person wielding the power to use other properties of it
But Luffy did show all the traits of an awakened zoan fruit though. The jailers in an impel down were able to rely solely on instinct to fight, and that would explain why Luffy didn’t need any prior training with the new form to use all of the new abilities.
I was trying to deny it but when you mentioned hody's steroid, 8t started making sense cuz luffy also becomes old after certain time... Solid point I'd say
I think ichika is sabo the flame emperor who can truly liberate anyone to rebel against gods. His influence is even greater than most wanted man monkey d dragon. Maybe we need more discussion about this when oda gives more hints on upcoming manga
I don’t know because we would have to explain oden wife she knew she had a devil fruit and she was casually using it to time travel so some people knew
And her and Zunicha knowing about Joyboy, another thing that give wrench to the theory, is that Lucy was an alias, but the people that called him that is still saw who he is Luffy, in Wano, Joyboy is a title that is passed down, but doesn’t mean he, the person referred has Joyboy, didn’t exist. And the theorist also fails to realize that the gods may exist, but the way they worship them was wrong. Seeing as Noland didn’t get to the new world at that point, he may have not realized, at the time, he maybe wrong, by reading part of the true history some where.
@DAK'SSAKE. Your theories are amazing and this really got me thinking. So what if the mermaid quintuplets are actually the entire story of one piece crazy condensed. Stick with me here. So if Ichika is the original name of Nika then Sonka could symbolize Rogers Era( Rocks Roger and SHIKI) and Yonka is obviously the Yonkou and Yonkou 2 would be the new set of 4. Each of these Eras had a potential Joyboy (Roger, Shanks, and Luffy) but only Luffy can fulfill his will because he was right on time. I also looked into the first cover page showing the quintuplets and all the straw hats and all of the straw hats are swimming down well some in coated bubbles of course and there is Shirahoshi and a Turtle. So what if this is the final story of the journey to laughtale (underwater, Pluton is a giant turtle needed to get there) and it only makes sense that Rayleigh became a ship coater to be able to help the Real JoyBoy reach Laughtale and He has to be coated because he needs the Gomu Gomu No Mi to fulfill Joyboys will and he can't swim. Maybe that was why JoyBoy couldn't fulfill his promise to the mermaid princess he couldnt get back underwater because he accidentally ate the fruit not knowing what it would mean and coating didn't exist. This would coincide with your Long Ring Long Land theory because Water 7 is slowly sinking into the ocean and that is what happened to Laughtale. I might just be insane but this video really made me think. What does everybody think?
I definitely like where you’re going with the quintuplets parallel - that could even be why the last one was “Yonko Two” - because it’s like the “2nd part of the Yonko saga” (with the new yonko) when everything finally goes down! I’m not so sure about the coating and the turtle part though because Roger got to laughtale without that help - so I don’t think Rayleigh would need to be involved - and obviously pluton has been tied up for 800 years so I think the turtle is something else, BUT I do think there will be a turtle at some point - there are soooo many important creatures already and turtles have a lot of folklore
Also, thanks for tagging me on the other comment lol!! I try to respond to every comment but RUclips doesn’t organize them that well so I miss some so thank you
ya the turtle was kind of a stretch lol I also loved the Davy Jones and Laughfro video can you imagine if some of these are True. ODA is crazy to even make us think of these theories! One Piece is the best
@@mrkami1225 the fact it’s been almost 26 years and we still aren’t sure what the OP is shows how great Oda is 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I hope it’s an Afro, but if it’s not it’ll probably be something even better
If Ichika went around masquerading Nika and did the whole sun God liberation deal. Then what about the rest of ichika/nikas family? Being the 5 God Titans of thriller bark, being the 5 quintuplets, 5 vinsmokes? What about the rest of them? And the other 4 gods in line with "false Nika" Devil fruit tree obv has an x behind, who imu could've been warring against. Joyboy was who reigned as KOTW, who eventually got corrupted and thrown off with imus iron rule. Joyboy failure is marked by his apology letter to poseidon who's yet to be born.
Luffy regularly does things outside the bounds of rubber tho. All his gears for instance dont follow the abilities of rubber, gear second increases his speed for some reason, even if you could blow air into your arms they would lose power not gain it, gear 4th has luffy be able to change the direction and inertia of his attacks and gear 5th lets him make goggles, become a giant, and many other things that are way outside the concept of rubber. I would accept like an imagination fruit or a toon toon fruit or something.
any thought to the idea that Oda's favorite scene in one piece (dancing around the fire in Skypea) which shows the "D" smile on Usopp's face paralleling the idea that Nika was the fake "god" just like Usopp is a fake "god"???
I could be remembering wrong but in enies lobby it is said that when you eat a devil fruit you automatically know its name sometime after eating it so I think its pretty reasonable to assume its still the gomu gomu no mi, assuming Luffy even listened to the fruit in the first place. To add to that the awakening could be similar to Katakuri's special paramecia fruit considering that he also is able to manipulate his body into mochi which could explain Luffys change in aperance, Luffy could just be changing his looks to how he best sees fit. The only person to identify Luffy as joyboy was Zou who didn't see him, only heard his heart beat. Also in his fight with Kaido Luffy still starts his attacks with gomu gomu at the front so even if that isn't the real name of the fruit he wasn't told of the name change after awakening.
This makes sense, its just the gomo gomo nomi with the will of “Nika” in it. Because Nika was a other perfect match with the devil fruit so it awakend. Maybe he could store his will inside the Gomo Gomo no mi
I always had a theory of paramecia fruits being stronger than they are, look at wb fruit which was said to be able to destory the world, then u had buggy he can dodge any sword attacks, but i also think those fruits take more use of haki than the other fruits, i feel that buggy splits based on his observation haki as well as his fruit, same with whitebeards use of his fruit et.
It's a good theory but it kinda falls apart for me. Mythical Zoans also have a secondary abilities. Marco's fruit being able to transform himself into flame (logia) or sengoku emitting shockwaves (paramecia). The name convention you mentioned holds weight tho
So... Nika could be some sort of honorary name... and everything else is already kinda debunked. Oda said it's imagination, not rubber. That's the reason it never fits a definition, because the power is based on it's user's creativity. That creativity is stifled by the lie that it's simply a rubber fruit. Luffy was given the power of imagination as proven when he ate the fruit. Shanks grabs him by the ankles before he can finish eating and he panics and wants down... so his legs extend to the floor letting him down (giving him what he imagined). He smacks his face on the ground, and thinks that hurt, I want off the ground, then his legs retract up (giving him what he imagined). He looks puzzled at what just happened, wondering how he did that. This is where his power is shackled. He is told by Shanks that it was the Gum-Gum fruit, and from then onward Luffy has the idea that he is only a rubber person. He stretched, inflated, and took the shape of everything he wanted until Gear 5th, and now he can imagine things happening to objects or other people... but he still thinks it's a rubber power, so he's only stretching, inflating or changing their shapes. Ask Luffy what he thinks rubber is. I bet he'd answer "It doesn't break, it can stretch super far, and if you stretch and let go it flies really far away." because he's an idiot. Those answers are his imagination, and become his powers. He can't break if he thinks rubber can't. The dumber Luffy is, the stronger he is.
I love all of this! We know it’s chemically rubber since eneru couldn’t affect him, but everything else about it is simply Luffy’s imagination at this point.
@@DaksSake I'm not sure that clue is enough to infer even that. He also resisted heat from fire fruit users when rubber will dry out or boil, catch fire, and burn with an intense black smoke, chemically speaking. He doesn't follow the rules of rubber unless he knows them, and Luffy isn't a science wiz. "Ah! So it's a mystery gum!" ..would be his retort to any attempt to educate him on it. So he's a mystery man.
@@tekashi2783 I think 2nd Gear was his imagined solution to fighting the 6 powers. He needed an artificial and fast way to powerup, and used his most recent memory of a powerful thing; the sea train. His 2nd gear pumps his blood so fast he builds up heat and pressure inside himself that he can release for explosive energy. That's not unlike the pneumatics of a steam engine. Anything Luffy thinks is cool he tries to immitate.
aren't myths just really really really old legends? maybe mythical devil fruits are just mythical not because they never existed but because their story and tales that came along with them are so incredibly old that most truths about them are simply forgotten
There is also the fact that even when luffy was unaware he ate a devil fruit the default abilities he received was stretching like rubber meaning his power is not connected to his imagination it’s just his default ability, also except for the white look most of his abilities are in the realm of rubber except maybe red hawk but then again explaining it with rubber wouldn’t be impossible either , if anything luffy just fought at the fullest of his abilities in gear 5, he can stretch every part of his body at once(enhance gear 3, he affects the environment like a paramecia should, can walk in air by turning it into rubber , red hawk could be the good old friction explanation or vulcanisation of rubber or some lunarian blood who knows but the sun god nika abilities are just the peak of wat luffy already showed us
I love this theory. When I first saw that the Gomu fruit had been changed I was feeling pretty meh about it… but your points make so much sense to me. It clears up the issue I had with the name change. It appears that the fruit is really “ Nika “ in name only. Or how others such as the Gorosei perceive it. Luffy really doesn’t act like a Zoan type at all. He affects his environment in his awakened state, and he’s still rubber. The Sun God, Nika, and the warrior of Liberation are all names that others have dubbed the user. In reality the fruits true awakening is the embodiment of freedom. And what better way to compliment and embody that state of freedom than with a striking white form that sparks joy and hope?
What if the sun god part came from the will of D and the dawn, and is something making the void history, joy boy, and nika into full circle as foreshadow the meaning behind the will of D
I like your theory for the most part but I think you forgot something. Luffy can inflate his bones like popeye. Other characters in the manga said that should be impossible since his body would only be rubber. Same with the red hawk
Fun video. Ngl, was kinda turned off by the gum gum not being the gum gum anymore. But if the Gorosei had false information, that would be fine for me. The binge continues
I think people are thinking too deep… joyboy is not a name but a title luffy is definitely “joyboy”… because he is a boy that brings joy with a smiles through anything whether it’s fighting, protecting, or death. At the end the day luffy character bring joy through every situation. That case lucy is a title as well for both luffy and sabo. Nikka sun god is just a tilte but luffy will never let a tilte or name change his nature is why he won’t take the tilte of hero whether in wano, water 7, alabasta, or ever. He’s jus luffy a boy that brings joy to all kingdoms thrus the world.
Eh idk … this doesn’t explain the 3 other Gods that the Skypians worship and just name changing Nika to Ichika is the biggest stretch cause of the Mermaid Quintuplets… Nolan proved the sun god wouldn’t intervene, so inhuman sacrifices were pointless not that he didn’t exist technically. also Mystical Zoans all share a dual quailty where they also show either paramecia or logia traits…Also Luffy doesn’t just showcase rubber qualities … Red Hawk is a literal fire punch, Gear 2 heats up his body and doesn’t melt, nor follow any other rubber qualities or quirks… Gear 3 allows him to warp his body a partial transformation, Gear 4 are all Transformations even Hygoro mentioned Luffy was like the Sun God. Gear 5 is Another Transformation in which being a Mythical Zoan again comes with either Logia or Paramecia effect .. (Kaido, Yamato, Marco, Catarina Devon, Sengoku, even Oorchi and having 8 lives is kinda similar to Brooks Yomi Yomi which I’d consider a Paramecia trait as vaguely defined as the class of fruit is.. also why would Gear 5 have Flame like Hair.. and why would Oda make the Goresei reveal the Other Name of the Fruit which they Changed to the Gumo Gumo to hide its true nature in the first Place … And most importantly I believe this a stretch because why would a zoan devil fruit’s transformation be that of another human character from the past when Devil fruits go back to the Adam trees not just up to the void Century or whatever century this “Ichika” you claim lived .. and if you well say hmm chopper… his fruit is based on humans as a species not a particular character 🤷🏻♂️
Your ignoring the fact the gorosei said the fruit has "a will of its own" and that it wasn't until awakening that Zunesha recognized him as joy boy
Upon its awakening, zunesha heard the drums, and recognised those drums from a familiar person he knew before he was set on his wandering punishment: Joyboy. Its not cause zunesha recognised joyboy, that luffy awakened.
this also ties in with doffy's quote, that the winners wright history and as luffy always won, there are now legends of lucy, joyboy and etc.
Or maybe he nicknamed himself nika because it sounded like niku which translates in English to meat, his favorite food. Anytime luffy talks about meat throughout the anime, he calls it niku. Going with your nickname theory, wouldn’t that explanation be more natural than the whole ichika thing? Besides that, this is a great and interesting theory and the most dedicated one I’ve seen in a while
YO THATS A GREAT IDEA!! Fits right into all the themes I laid out just as well as Ichika, if not better. I’ll def be mentioning this in a future video/stream. And thanks for the compliment - more vids on the way :)
shandians: whats your name
nika: give me nikAHAHAHAHA
this is why they sacrifice meat for the sun god
Languages change over time... given 800 years... maybe Nika was how they pronounced Niku... which also slots right into your theory of people having alternate names based on how they are perceived by outsiders.
toki came from void century with a devil fruit no reason to believe people didnt know about them back then
The Strawhats are like vigilante pirates or outlaws you can say
This goes back to the"when you eat it yk the name" thing,he never ever referred to it as Hito,he STILL doesn't go HITO HITO NO BAJRAN GUN,good DF theory
FACTS! Everything luffy did was rubber based except *maybe* the appearance, but even that all white appearance with red eyes was seen before in Sulong and Hody with the steroids, so nothing about is truly “godly” IMO, just a rubber boy
Also Luffy's fist going through kaido's head goes well beyond simply having the properties of rubber.
This doesn’t make sense… Kaido literally pointed out Luffy’s G5 transformation resembles that of a zoan fruit rather than a paramecia. Doesn’t that basically confirm that it is indeed the mythical Nika fruit?
i'll be honest that when you said you were gonna deduce nika's real name i thought you were gonna go on a giant leap and guess the name but that ichika/nika deduction kinda blew my mind by how fitting it is for Oda to do just by his personality lmao
theory: sanji is based on Nikas appearance with curly eyebrows and white hair, his father know of this power with vegapunk so he wanted his children based off of powerful fruits with sanji being assigned to it
Dak you never miss. I’d love to discuss this further sometime. Btw Seto from Skypiea… also love the sky islands as an origin because they don’t know what rubber is
Let’s discuss this soon bro!! While some of this is a shot in the dark I do feel like there’s a lot here to build off of for maybe something more concrete
"Straw hat symbolizes the sun[set]..." yo this got me thinking! XD
It’s the sunset if someone is wearing it, but you can also flip it 90 degrees so it’s like the full sun and the sun rays. It’s kind of absurd
I've always believed that joyboy was nothing more then a title, but if you think about it a zoans awakening shouldn't effect the outside world like a n awakened paramecia fruit, so sticking with this theors the gumo gumo no mi's awakening could be the ability to stretch reality, which could explain Luffys wacky abilities in gear 5th and the sun god is just a title that people liked and thought fitting for their savior since nika is known as a liberator
THIS PERSON GETS IT
Isn't mythical zoans kinda resembling inherited Will?
In the road to Laugh Tale, there where a list of Devil Fruits, it had both The Hito-Hito no Mi; Model: Nika and the Gomu-Gomu no Mi. So 2 different fruits!
Dak at it again with another theory I love! Did not realize how often the double names appeared throughout. Holy MOLEy you don’t miss.
Mole
Got recommended this out of nowhere, I'm subbing. It's a bit of a shot in the dark but some of it makes sense.
Thanks for taking a chance on me!! And yeah it is a bit of a shot in the dark, I’m sure at least some elements of this theory will end up being wrong but I think some parts are also on the money, so we will see. Thanks again for subbing!
What if all of Luffys different names get worshiped as gods in the future
I think you’re onto something for sure - it would be very Oda-esque to have all these places worship “different gods” but it’s really just luffy who isn’t a god at all
Looking back at this now with the latest chapter of Vegapunk and desire. Maybe the fruit luffy ate was the hito hito nika which was just a fruit conjured by the desire to be that original god like guy who ate the actual gomu gomu like you said. It would be even cooler and meta that ancient civilizations drew stories/manga of nika thus luffy becomes white. And it’s basically a meta joke on the real life luffy for us which is just black and white doing all these crazy things. The kids that read one piece desired to be luffy. Just like the kids in the ancient civilization desired to be nika a cartoon tale.
I also like this theory bc I always loved the idea that the one piece is just literally the one piece like the actual manga so it’s concept generating itself through desire is cool
Too loud trying to sleep
9:34 got me sweating, i was thinking you were going to propose a whole different name
I love the concept and you properly backed up your statements and ideas but my only critique is how Luffy's gears can't be explained legitimately without some strange reality warping capabilities. Since his body has the traits of rubber, he shouldn't realistically be able to blow air into his bones and move it around his skeleton; this is explained with the eccentric abilities of Nika's fruit. Otherwise I love the speculation on Nika not being the actual person, that's great!
Thank you again for watching and commenting!! And yeah some of it is definitely hard to pin down, but I think some of those abilities (blowing air into bones) may be like “an early stage of awakening”. Awakening let him inflate at will with his imagination, so maybe when he blew air in his bones it made it “easier to imagine” the bones expanding, if that makes sense. So he didn’t fully awaken but the motion of blowing air in maybe made the imagination part easier? Little tin foily
@@DaksSake do you have a messenger...i'll show you something..
@@edanflavier97 discord?
@@DaksSake I like your theory, even if the end is a bit tinfoily. If I add my tinfoil hat to that, I would say that Ni- is the start of his Name, and his sibling startet with an I- or Ich-, maybe who we now know as Im-sama/Imu, is the first sibling, cause I like the theory of Imu and Joyboy being related, Imu being the immortal one. Man I am so excited for all the mysteries being discovered and Oda wanting to show us everything. The last Saga will be so hype.
@@gehtdichnichtsan2418 that is also a good take!! The end is def tin foily, I just figured I’d take a stab - but I’m 100% sure there is *something* up with the names for sure even if it’s not what I theorized! I can’t wait to find it out either 🙏🏼
this is legitimately my favourite theory ever. I kind disliked how luffy was given the chosen one treatment.
Perhaps he will gain the ability to create things out of rubber/resin similar to a logia giving the fruit properties of each fruit category
As always, a banger theory. Man, you always create your own path different from the majority of the community.
These are the comments I love to see😭 more fresh content coming next week!
Banger theory Dak, I think this would be a cool double twist.
Well this re-vigorates my old though of Nika meaning being oil oil fruit rather than it being human model.
You see, oil has gravity, thickness determines it's gravity, and lightest crude oil is white/transparent.
What is rubber made out of? Oil. Sap is oil too. What did luffy's awakening actually allow him to do? Rubberise things? Or change the gravity of those things to make them, drum roll, oily and thus rubber.
Ultimately there are four components of oil:
Asphaltene
Aromatics
Resin
Saturates
This are:
Hard rocks or extremely viscous non-newtonian fluids.
Burning gasses.
Non-newtonian fluids of not so extreme level
The liquid body.
Basically oil oil fruit awakening would allow you to go and turn your solid red line into a liquid. So far we have seen going from solid to non-newtonian fluid and there is red hawk.
Ichika Nito is the real hero? Damn, he's guitar god already
I love this concept. I think this is exactly the same with Rocks D Xebec. I dont believe he was evil. I believe he was portrayed that way.
Agreed. I can almost see Rocks as like a Luffy/Buggy hybrid in a sense - a fun loving guy who also had some brains to build an org that brought in top tier pirates like cross guild
What if he is directly like buggy. Like he wasn’t powerful to begin with, just happen to be at the right place and time. If he was really powerful, his ex crew members might be proud of their connections to him, thus once a while mentioning their exploits. It seems that there were no impacts to when the rocks pirates disbanded
@@DaksSake Check my comment from today 10/11/22. I didn't know how to tag you. I'm curious to know what you think.
Great theory! Though the only thing that's left unexplained is the change of personality in Gear 5
My guess is that he dopes his body so much he’s just filled with adrenaline/whatever, but I’m interested to find out either way
@@DaksSake how aye became red?
Wasnt it explained that the zoan fruits have their own demonic souls in them
‘Luffy is benevolent’
Only if you do what he wants. If not he’ll crush you.
lol, no
maybe joyboy and nika are from the same era but joyboy was seen as the pirate king and nika was seen as a god same as luffy and buggy, with luffy being seen as the pirate king and buggy being seen as a god
The only issue with that would be the fruit - it seems like each of the 3 used it? But I do like the idea of tbere being parallels between Luffy/Buggy… like Roger/Rocks too
Daaaang 3 months from 400 to 10k! Stoked for your come up, man!

What an interesting idea, and a great video. You deserves way more subs!
I really appreciate that! The subs are coming slowly but surely. New video our in a couple hours!
That is a very interesting idea, Jb and nika not being the same person. That does make me wonder about zunisha tho. And also if nika was the sun god what about the other gods. Maybe there were just a set of siblings that all ate DF's and became known as gods.
I was thinking that as well. The gomu user became the “sun god” and so did the fruit, maybe Buggy’s “bari bari” became the “rain god fruit”, etc. and history is sort of repeating itself. Where the fruits are normal fruits, but certain people use them with god like potential and people fear them as gods bc of the powers
@@DaksSake Bara Bara not Bari Bari
Well in my old theory I brought up the trinity, basing it up on 4 different languages where Nika has a solid meaning.
In greek two meanings: chosen and Jesus Christ in greek code language.
Grandfather, father and youngest son in Persian, Pashto and Saraiki.
The last meaning is referring to oil. It has coptic religious origins and is replaceable with annointed one on english.
So gomu gomu no mi turned to Nika Nika no mi is oil oil fruit that has been passed down trough three generations.
@@enetonic remove a and i from each word last letter
Thats my fruit
@@DaksSake o
I think you might be onto something with this one, the comment from benny feig also makes sense though but all of this would indeed be very oda like. Glad i found your channel, been awhile since i found someone with convincing theories
What if the gomu gomu no mi and the hito hito no mi are two different devil fruits and luffy has somehow consumed both
Perhaps via the zoan fruit being "fed" into the paramecia?
Really great video!! loved the music
Paramecia only transform the environment around them to match the nature of their fruit , right?
But strangely , Luffy somehow made Kaidos body rubbery
Yeah that’s what we have been made to believe and kinda odd, but since many other paramecia naturally affect their opponent even without awakening (Bonneys for example) I think for now we can just chalk it up to “affecting the environment” includes opponents too until we learn more
This is one of the first thoughts I also had after the reveal especially because making the main character a literal god would not fit into the way that kind of thing has been portrayed throughout the story
They're called mythical zoans because they are based on myths, aka fake stories.
Myth doesn’t only mean a fake story, that is a modern use term, the original meaning of myth is a story that explains the creation or origins of something. By this definition, many things that are true can be considered myths.
@@shulkash8799 One piece is being written today though, not back then, so the usage of language is modern.
@@hiss9989 The reason I said it is because both definitions are still being used today. So that could also happen to the mythical zoans, they could be the origin of something or their creation or use caused the creation of phenomena in the world.

Great work once again! You think G5 could just be a "hybrid form"? As in Luffy has both paramecia and zoan abilities in his fruit...but we only got his paramecia awakening, Par mentioned this awhile back and wanted to see if you think it's possible!
If I had to give an answer right now I personally think it’s more likely that Gear 5 is basically a way to dope himself to an extreme degree, like Gear 2 on steroids. Why would the heart beating oddly cause a hybrid form? He looks too similar to Hody and Sulong (which weren’t DF related, more like doping related) for me to think otherwise *yet*
@@DaksSake I like this reasoning too...not very speculative, even tho that is all we can do is be speculative haha
I really like this so far. Luffy always copies other peoples attcks and abilities so him copying sulong form is so smart. It’s like super gear 2 plus awakening abilities.
Yuppp, Sulong is about the “primal instincts” coming out or whatever for minks. Probably through some bodily change in heart rate or what have you. Well what are primal instincts for the freest person ever??? Stretching at will apparently haha
Actually making so much sense and that makes me so God damn happy 😅

Great content man keep it up :)
🔥🔥🔥Your Haki is strong! Did you read my mind? Well done😇
Thank you!! Our wifi haki is strong af 😤
Great vid, but I’m still thinking he’s mythical Zoan, based on a god. Gear 5 is unmistakable as a Zoan mythical transformation when you look at coulds it creates like Kaido and Momo’s Flame Clouds and Yamato’s Snow Clouds. Also the fruit display more than one form of power like all Mythical Zoans have. It’s rubber like Qualities even it effecting his surroundings, and resurrection(Healing like awakened zoans), being able to transform into a giant getting physical boost on all his stats( like awakened zoans)
Maybe your right on the history of Joyboy but it’s clear that Luffys fruit is not the rubber fruit.
Hmmm you have some good points there, I feel like there’s a million ways Oda could twist this (since we didn’t even hear about Nika till 1018) with all the lore he’s built up so I’m pumped to find out
‘There really is no answer to what the true name of the fruit is’
The Elders litterally say they gave it the Alternate name of the Gum Gum Fruit to try and hide ot. The True name is the Nikka Fruit which allows the user to become Joy Boy
Hiding Nike (meaning smile) as the Gum Gum Fruit is also a clever yet obvious giveaway. They named it after the gums of the mouth.
Canonically, the gorosei said “alternate” or “other” name. It’s not certain either way what the real name is. As I said in the video, it’s likely that people called it the Sun God Nika fruit because they just figured “well those are the same powers as who we called god so it’s Nika’s fruit!”, and that’s why the gorosei gave it the “gomu gomu” name. But that doesn’t mean the fruit wasn’t gomu gomu originally. The only thing we have confirmed for sure is that it was called the Nika fruit at some point and the gov wanted to hide it. But we don’t know what the actual real original name is - and since all the powers are strictly paramecia-esque rubber abilities other than appearance, I feel like it being just a rubber power makes sense. It’s def not for sure either way so we will have to see!
@@DaksSake The real name is the Nikka Fruit. If it wasn’t they wouldn’t have changed it to the Gum Gum Fruit to hide it. And the obvious Gum is in teeth as in smiling would not work
Awesome video! I like this idea
This theory is sick! Subbed 👍😎
Appreciate that! Another video is coming this week! 😈
@@DaksSake looking forward to it!
Here's one for you. Luffy's zoan awakening is still in line with a mythical zone. The unique trait of mythical zoans is that they grant supernatural abiilities. The nika fruit grants supernatural freedom by making it's user rubbery and able to manipulate their own body. The awakening increases this freedom to include freedom to manipulate the environment.
love this! this explains why luffy doesnt know about the rubber fruit's other name model: nika (by the govt) when he ate it, its purely rubber and it depends on the person wielding the power to use other properties of it
But Luffy did show all the traits of an awakened zoan fruit though. The jailers in an impel down were able to rely solely on instinct to fight, and that would explain why Luffy didn’t need any prior training with the new form to use all of the new abilities.
I was trying to deny it but when you mentioned hody's steroid, 8t started making sense cuz luffy also becomes old after certain time... Solid point I'd say
I think ichika is sabo the flame emperor who can truly liberate anyone to rebel against gods. His influence is even greater than most wanted man monkey d dragon. Maybe we need more discussion about this when oda gives more hints on upcoming manga
I don’t know because we would have to explain oden wife she knew she had a devil fruit and she was casually using it to time travel so some people knew
And her and Zunicha knowing about Joyboy, another thing that give wrench to the theory, is that Lucy was an alias, but the people that called him that is still saw who he is Luffy, in Wano, Joyboy is a title that is passed down, but doesn’t mean he, the person referred has Joyboy, didn’t exist.
And the theorist also fails to realize that the gods may exist, but the way they worship them was wrong. Seeing as Noland didn’t get to the new world at that point, he may have not realized, at the time, he maybe wrong, by reading part of the true history some where.
U got a sub, keep up the content 🔥
Appreciate that very much🙏🏼🙏🏼 glad you enjoy!
@DAK'SSAKE. Your theories are amazing and this really got me thinking. So what if the mermaid quintuplets are actually the entire story of one piece crazy condensed. Stick with me here. So if Ichika is the original name of Nika then Sonka could symbolize Rogers Era( Rocks Roger and SHIKI) and Yonka is obviously the Yonkou and Yonkou 2 would be the new set of 4. Each of these Eras had a potential Joyboy (Roger, Shanks, and Luffy) but only Luffy can fulfill his will because he was right on time. I also looked into the first cover page showing the quintuplets and all the straw hats and all of the straw hats are swimming down well some in coated bubbles of course and there is Shirahoshi and a Turtle. So what if this is the final story of the journey to laughtale (underwater, Pluton is a giant turtle needed to get there) and it only makes sense that Rayleigh became a ship coater to be able to help the Real JoyBoy reach Laughtale and He has to be coated because he needs the Gomu Gomu No Mi to fulfill Joyboys will and he can't swim. Maybe that was why JoyBoy couldn't fulfill his promise to the mermaid princess he couldnt get back underwater because he accidentally ate the fruit not knowing what it would mean and coating didn't exist. This would coincide with your Long Ring Long Land theory because Water 7 is slowly sinking into the ocean and that is what happened to Laughtale. I might just be insane but this video really made me think. What does everybody think?
I definitely like where you’re going with the quintuplets parallel - that could even be why the last one was “Yonko Two” - because it’s like the “2nd part of the Yonko saga” (with the new yonko) when everything finally goes down!
I’m not so sure about the coating and the turtle part though because Roger got to laughtale without that help - so I don’t think Rayleigh would need to be involved - and obviously pluton has been tied up for 800 years so I think the turtle is something else, BUT I do think there will be a turtle at some point - there are soooo many important creatures already and turtles have a lot of folklore
Also, thanks for tagging me on the other comment lol!! I try to respond to every comment but RUclips doesn’t organize them that well so I miss some so thank you
ya the turtle was kind of a stretch lol I also loved the Davy Jones and Laughfro video can you imagine if some of these are True. ODA is crazy to even make us think of these theories! One Piece is the best

@@DaksSake one things for sure it's going to be a Laugh tale for the entire world to enjoy
Another banger 🙌🏻🙌🏻💯💯
If Ichika went around masquerading Nika and did the whole sun God liberation deal. Then what about the rest of ichika/nikas family? Being the 5 God Titans of thriller bark, being the 5 quintuplets, 5 vinsmokes?
What about the rest of them? And the other 4 gods in line with "false Nika"
Devil fruit tree obv has an x behind, who imu could've been warring against. Joyboy was who reigned as KOTW, who eventually got corrupted and thrown off with imus iron rule. Joyboy failure is marked by his apology letter to poseidon who's yet to be born.
Luffy regularly does things outside the bounds of rubber tho. All his gears for instance dont follow the abilities of rubber, gear second increases his speed for some reason, even if you could blow air into your arms they would lose power not gain it, gear 4th has luffy be able to change the direction and inertia of his attacks and gear 5th lets him make goggles, become a giant, and many other things that are way outside the concept of rubber. I would accept like an imagination fruit or a toon toon fruit or something.
any thought to the idea that Oda's favorite scene in one piece (dancing around the fire in Skypea) which shows the "D" smile on Usopp's face paralleling the idea that Nika was the fake "god" just like Usopp is a fake "god"???
Great video! Let's get you monetized! Just sent it to four friends.
Omg that’s amazing!!! THANK YOU!! New video coming this week!!
If ichika is an actual monkey or a monkey mink I would die of laughter
I could be remembering wrong but in enies lobby it is said that when you eat a devil fruit you automatically know its name sometime after eating it so I think its pretty reasonable to assume its still the gomu gomu no mi, assuming Luffy even listened to the fruit in the first place. To add to that the awakening could be similar to Katakuri's special paramecia fruit considering that he also is able to manipulate his body into mochi which could explain Luffys change in aperance, Luffy could just be changing his looks to how he best sees fit. The only person to identify Luffy as joyboy was Zou who didn't see him, only heard his heart beat. Also in his fight with Kaido Luffy still starts his attacks with gomu gomu at the front so even if that isn't the real name of the fruit he wasn't told of the name change after awakening.
Still doesn't explain why it affects the environment when it's started they zoan awakenings don't do that
@@fable2830 The whole point is that it isn't actually a zoan.
This makes sense, its just the gomo gomo nomi with the will of “Nika” in it. Because Nika was a other perfect match with the devil fruit so it awakend. Maybe he could store his will inside the Gomo Gomo no mi
I always had a theory of paramecia fruits being stronger than they are, look at wb fruit which was said to be able to destory the world, then u had buggy he can dodge any sword attacks, but i also think those fruits take more use of haki than the other fruits, i feel that buggy splits based on his observation haki as well as his fruit, same with whitebeards use of his fruit et.
The name idea is very cool
It's a good theory but it kinda falls apart for me. Mythical Zoans also have a secondary abilities. Marco's fruit being able to transform himself into flame (logia) or sengoku emitting shockwaves (paramecia). The name convention you mentioned holds weight tho
yup
So... Nika could be some sort of honorary name... and everything else is already kinda debunked. Oda said it's imagination, not rubber. That's the reason it never fits a definition, because the power is based on it's user's creativity. That creativity is stifled by the lie that it's simply a rubber fruit.
Luffy was given the power of imagination as proven when he ate the fruit. Shanks grabs him by the ankles before he can finish eating and he panics and wants down... so his legs extend to the floor letting him down (giving him what he imagined). He smacks his face on the ground, and thinks that hurt, I want off the ground, then his legs retract up (giving him what he imagined). He looks puzzled at what just happened, wondering how he did that. This is where his power is shackled. He is told by Shanks that it was the Gum-Gum fruit, and from then onward Luffy has the idea that he is only a rubber person. He stretched, inflated, and took the shape of everything he wanted until Gear 5th, and now he can imagine things happening to objects or other people... but he still thinks it's a rubber power, so he's only stretching, inflating or changing their shapes.
Ask Luffy what he thinks rubber is. I bet he'd answer "It doesn't break, it can stretch super far, and if you stretch and let go it flies really far away." because he's an idiot. Those answers are his imagination, and become his powers. He can't break if he thinks rubber can't. The dumber Luffy is, the stronger he is.
I love all of this! We know it’s chemically rubber since eneru couldn’t affect him, but everything else about it is simply Luffy’s imagination at this point.
Yeah without mentioning the red hawk how in the world can rubber generate fire by stretching so fast xD anyway u re right
@@DaksSake I'm not sure that clue is enough to infer even that. He also resisted heat from fire fruit users when rubber will dry out or boil, catch fire, and burn with an intense black smoke, chemically speaking. He doesn't follow the rules of rubber unless he knows them, and Luffy isn't a science wiz. "Ah! So it's a mystery gum!" ..would be his retort to any attempt to educate him on it. So he's a mystery man.
@@wmbtech So wait how would he be able to go gear 1? Or was it second gear?
It always defied rubber physics. Maybe it's not normal
@@tekashi2783 I think 2nd Gear was his imagined solution to fighting the 6 powers. He needed an artificial and fast way to powerup, and used his most recent memory of a powerful thing; the sea train. His 2nd gear pumps his blood so fast he builds up heat and pressure inside himself that he can release for explosive energy. That's not unlike the pneumatics of a steam engine. Anything Luffy thinks is cool he tries to immitate.
aren't myths just really really really old legends? maybe mythical devil fruits are just mythical not because they never existed but because their story and tales that came along with them are so incredibly old that most truths about them are simply forgotten
When you stretch rubber to far it does turn white
Great point!!
I still don’t understand how you got the name ichika from some murmaid quintuplets
There is also the fact that even when luffy was unaware he ate a devil fruit the default abilities he received was stretching like rubber meaning his power is not connected to his imagination it’s just his default ability, also except for the white look most of his abilities are in the realm of rubber except maybe red hawk but then again explaining it with rubber wouldn’t be impossible either , if anything luffy just fought at the fullest of his abilities in gear 5, he can stretch every part of his body at once(enhance gear 3, he affects the environment like a paramecia should, can walk in air by turning it into rubber , red hawk could be the good old friction explanation or vulcanisation of rubber or some lunarian blood who knows but the sun god nika abilities are just the peak of wat luffy already showed us
I love this theory. When I first saw that the Gomu fruit had been changed I was feeling pretty meh about it… but your points make so much sense to me. It clears up the issue I had with the name change. It appears that the fruit is really “ Nika “ in name only. Or how others such as the Gorosei perceive it. Luffy really doesn’t act like a Zoan type at all. He affects his environment in his awakened state, and he’s still rubber. The Sun God, Nika, and the warrior of Liberation are all names that others have dubbed the user. In reality the fruits true awakening is the embodiment of freedom. And what better way to compliment and embody that state of freedom than with a striking white form that sparks joy and hope?
Mythic zoans also dont really follow regular zoan rules. The phoenix fruit for example in being to embody the blue flames. It likely is a zoan
I love the idea that the nika fruit really allows him to alter reality through will power i can’t remember where i heard it but I’m convinced
good video. what do you use for editing?
Premiere Pro 2022!
What if the sun god part came from the will of D and the dawn, and is something making the void history, joy boy, and nika into full circle as foreshadow the meaning behind the will of D
lmao imagine nika being ichika is the reason roger laugh LMAO
I like your theory for the most part but I think you forgot something. Luffy can inflate his bones like popeye. Other characters in the manga said that should be impossible since his body would only be rubber. Same with the red hawk
Fun video. Ngl, was kinda turned off by the gum gum not being the gum gum anymore. But if the Gorosei had false information, that would be fine for me. The binge continues
I think people are thinking too deep… joyboy is not a name but a title luffy is definitely “joyboy”… because he is a boy that brings joy with a smiles through anything whether it’s fighting, protecting, or death. At the end the day luffy character bring joy through every situation. That case lucy is a title as well for both luffy and sabo. Nikka sun god is just a tilte but luffy will never let a tilte or name change his nature is why he won’t take the tilte of hero whether in wano, water 7, alabasta, or ever. He’s jus luffy a boy that brings joy to all kingdoms thrus the world.
Dragon’s tattoos remind me of wypers. I can see the Monkey family as shandian
GREAT POINT and wish I had included that!
You think the same why I do, so immediate sub 🤝 love your contend, go on bro
Vegapung though said that there is no Gum Gum fruit in the old devil fruit encyclopedia!!!
"A lot of this is a stretch"
Ha I get it
1 recomendation, the music is distractingly loud xD nice theory tho
The first Nika is Kuina
Could be wrong but didn’t oda tell us the powers of luffy fruit and that it’s more than just rubber
The sun God was probably just a human
Luffy watches my videos?!? 🥹
Eh idk … this doesn’t explain the 3 other Gods that the Skypians worship and just name changing Nika to Ichika is the biggest stretch cause of the Mermaid Quintuplets… Nolan proved the sun god wouldn’t intervene, so inhuman sacrifices were pointless not that he didn’t exist technically. also Mystical Zoans all share a dual quailty where they also show either paramecia or logia traits…Also Luffy doesn’t just showcase rubber qualities … Red Hawk is a literal fire punch, Gear 2 heats up his body and doesn’t melt, nor follow any other rubber qualities or quirks… Gear 3 allows him to warp his body a partial transformation, Gear 4 are all Transformations even Hygoro mentioned Luffy was like the Sun God. Gear 5 is Another Transformation in which being a Mythical Zoan again comes with either Logia or Paramecia effect .. (Kaido, Yamato, Marco, Catarina Devon, Sengoku, even Oorchi and having 8 lives is kinda similar to Brooks Yomi Yomi which I’d consider a Paramecia trait as vaguely defined as the class of fruit is.. also why would Gear 5 have Flame like Hair.. and why would Oda make the Goresei reveal the Other Name of the Fruit which they Changed to the Gumo Gumo to hide its true nature in the first Place … And most importantly I believe this a stretch because why would a zoan devil fruit’s transformation be that of another human character from the past when Devil fruits go back to the Adam trees not just up to the void Century or whatever century this “Ichika” you claim lived .. and if you well say hmm chopper… his fruit is based on humans as a species not a particular character 🤷🏻♂️
Cool concepts
Brilliant observation
