The thought of Saturn getting just blown apart by Kuma, healing and calling him silly of all possible words in response is giving me some real Venture Bros. vibes, Tekking. Not sure if that was what you were going for, but the way you describe things can really point some pretty vivid pictures, dude.
I'm fairly certain Tekking has quoted Venture Bros in the past. Can't remember which video, but I distinctly remember him quoting The Monarch's "many sinister stews" quote. I love Tekking even more just with the knowledge that he watches Venture Bros.
@Tekking101 Then Saturn all of a sudden dons a straw hat, red vest and climbs in a barrel thinking he's the hero now!!! After being visted by Kuma Killenger and his magic murder PAW!!!!
You know, Tekking. By regular standards Kuma is quite big, Gigantic even, and the fact that he is going to punch someone is not lost on me either. We could even say that that giant fist is coming to Saturn, or maybe even: *HERE COMES THE GIANT FIST!*
Imagine Kuma slamming down Saturn with one final attack as he uses all his built up pain as a weapon against Saturn. Turning all of his suffering in pain from the darkness he was forced to live through, to one last beacon of hope for his daughter. As the narrator says “Slave. Priest, Savior, Warlord, Tyrant, and machine. Bartholomew Kuma was a man who lived by many titles. But even after his mind was taken and his body broken, only one title truly mattered…father.” “In that moment, the whole island was left speechless. For a father’s love had long surpassed the limits of mere science.” *Tease Luffy getting up in the background as Saturn recovers from Kuma’s attack. BREAK NEXT WEEK
that whould be awesome as f but if it whould have happened i think its whould happen at the end of a chapter, but maybe...but i think kuma is so selfless that he will not have a bubble with his pains because we endure it for bonney wich gave him joy
@@RockmeHellsingI imagined it as an end of chapter thing too. But I do think that theres bittersweet and poetic if Kuma, a man born into and forced to live with despair and tragedy, turning that pain into a ray of hope for his daughter. And since Joyboy has some connection to the Bucaneers, the idea of robo Kuma dying with a smile on his face after seeing Bonnie one last time would be the cherry on top.
The Straw Hats going to Elbaf works really well for after this arc, when you consider that they'd need a safe area to go to after what they pull off here (especially if they get Saturn killed!). It's not just the land of the giants, but also Shanks' territory. It could mean the gang recruits the giants in the war to come.
There's actually been 2 flashbacks in Egghead arc so far. Kuma/Bonney's flashback is not the only one that was shown here, because don't forget there was a Reverie flashback too. It took place before Oda took his eye surgery break. That's a majorly important flashback.
In Chapter 1067 at the end of the chapter Lucci literally says to terminate Bonney cause she has served her purpose right in front of S-bear, the one Lucci said has been a problem child (Chapter 1062). Next panel, Kuma flees Kamabakka Queendom. Lineage Factor/Punk Records. Could Kuma hear the same convo as S-Bear causing the last remaining parts of Kuma to react and force his body to Egghead to protect her from Imminent Danger.
Correct me anyone if im wrong but, isnt Kuma using haki a 100% proof that his will is still alive? i think its not just parental instinct or any tinkering done by vegapunk, he's just alive by sheer willpower even after the operation.
Yeah the last chapter definitely confirmed it wasn’t anything vegapunk did. He was just as shocked as everyone as to why Kuma would suddenly pop up at Egghead. I do definitely think though that Bonney touching the memory bubble played a role in it.
Odas very clever with this stuff. In the beginning of the arc we get the Mecha sea beast and how they "cant override their instincts" and then later we get kuma whos instincts also couldnt be overridden
There is a quote that I think goes really well with the situation with Kuma "the mind may forget but the body remembers". I think that works perfectly for the way Kuma reacts to bonney. he that since's bonney in danger and his body insteadly reacts to save. It could be cool if it worked like that
Finally got a like from Tekknasty OG!!!! Jeez, I peaked a bit earlier than I thought, what do I do now, no where to go but down,🤔🤔🤔 Ah well guess that means pressures off. Now let's see how long until another member is added to the D. Brick extended family. I suggest the next members name be, "Uncle Mortar-mer" Eh eh😃😃😃 U can hav that, just if u use it, i only ask u shout me out by callin urself Tekknasty at some point in the vid, and my internet life will be complete.
I still think it was very deliberate on Oda's part that Kuma activated and started running exactly one page after Lucci said that Bonney has become a nuisance and they should just eliminate her on sight. To be fair, this could just be a thematic parallel to show that Kuma always does whatever he can to protect Bonney rather than a hint at an actual plot point.
I like to think when Bonnie was in the warm Eddie that's when Kuma left. She was in danger with no chance of being saved until the always unexpected strawhats saved the day
Maybe Kuma asked Vegapunk to program a failsafe into him that overrides the command structure if the Gorosei ever broke their arrangement to keep Bonney safe, just as the Gorosei installed the bomb to kill Kuma if he broke their arrangement. And Cipher Pol attempting to assassinate Bonney at the orders of the WG triggered that. Keep in mind, the Marines have gone out of their way not to harm Bonney in prior scenarios (Kizaru never goes after her at Seabody, Akainu personally recovers her from the BB Pirates). I mean, why would Akainu of all people not take the opportunity to kill one of the Worst Generation at that time, unless he was ordered to keep her alive and unharmed.
I don't think Vivi will be the one to eat/get the Paw Paw Fruit. It'll be cool if she did, I like Vivi, but it suit Sentamaru more considering how he fights. That said, I have this sneaky suspicion something will happen to devil fruits for them to stop existing. Since they keep reincarnating and freedom is the central theme of this story, continuous reincarnation should only happen until the goal is reach, which I think is taking down the current government. Like that theory that Imu is the sea (umi), and since the fruits are hated by the sea, I think fruits came to existence thanks to people's desired to be free from their situation, but since the government won, people kept dying and their wills (and fruits) kept coming back. Luffy is a great example: he's not a rubber boy, he's the current Joyboy! After he achieves his dream, he'd want to be Luffy, not Joyboy (also keep in mind he says multiple times he doesn't want to be a hero, and I believe Joyboy and the Sun God were heroes to many people).
I was re reading Egghead, just to see it all from where the story currently is. When Bonny turns Luffy into an old man, it says (in a different future). We assumed that it was "bad future" luffy. could it be because of how Bonny's power works, she aged the goofy kid into a goofy old man like Doctor Vegapunk? She imagined Luffy would look Vegapunkish in his old age, and that's the alternative future?
Yeah I think it was implied that that’s the case when she first obtains the devil fruit powers in Sorbet, cause if I’m not mistaken the same kind of thing happens to Connie.
While the brain is the dominant nerve organ, it isn't the only one. Some animals like the chicken can still run around with it's head cut off. In our world the central nervous system is defined as the brain and the spinal cord. If Vegapunk only modified the brain in his experiments it makes sense that a person's or an animal instincts still persist in the other parts.
Syv has a theory and I really like one part of it, maybe Kuma is somehow connected to s-bear and heard what lucci said about attacking Bonney and someway it doesn’t take from the “paternal instinct” or is it a special feature programmed just to protect her and since the chapters seem to lineup it could be a reason instead of Kuma just out of the blue, from miles away, sensing that Bonney’s in danger
I still think the memory bubble bonney touched has something to do with it, iirc he said that the bubbles always come back unless absorbed, and that the memory bubble was different like making copies. I think bonney touched the bubble and kuma regained his memories,
“Bartholomew Kuma, you sad, desperate fool! Did you *really* believe I wouldn’t survive if you punched my gnarly spider body in half? Well, I’ll have you know this: I can regenerate within mere seconds from any injury!” “AnY iNjuRy?” “Short of being caught in the middle of a very powerful explosion, yes!” “…wELL , HoW AboUt tHAt hUH.” “Indeed. Wait…oh f*ck.”
“Unhand me at once! No!!! Wait, you…! What is this?! Where are we going?! “REtUrN TrIp.” “Oh, I think I’m beginning to make out my house on the horizon.” “yUP. bEsT PLacE tO sEnD OuR mEsSagE.” “Message? Well, whatever reason you have for transporting me back to the Holy Land, you’ve overshot us by a significant margin. We are still far too high and moving far too quic-“ “DeToNaTInG iN 5.”
What if he used the paw fruit at some point ? He could really damage Saturn with all the pain he accumulated and anguish he felt all those years. Or, my own personal theory I made when Kuma reached the Red Line : Saturn gets pawed right into it, leaving a dent in the shape of a weird looking spider and being symbolically the first step to destroying it.
To throw my hat in, with timeframes being fluid and all, kuma has super hearing, he says so in the flashback, maybe he heard bonny scream for help when she was stuck in the water
What if kuma was actually dead and gone completely, but the amount of love and care everyone who knew kuma had for him instantly formed a klabautermann in his body. And that's the thing piloting his body to fulfill kuma's and his loved one's wills just like the merry!!
There are two parts to this mystery. How did Kuma disobey his commands? And how did he know Bonney was here? While clever One Piece theorists have surmised that it was most likely because he's connected to the other Pacifistas that he showed up here, that doesn't explain his autonomy. I don't think it's merely his protective spirit, although there's probably an element of that. I think we already saw the exchange which led to Kuma's release. Shanks, using his authority as a God's Knight, had Kuma's authority chip transferred to the God's Knights in his meeting with the Gorosei. And then Shanks freed Kuma. Shanks has been a God's Knight and an under-cover Revolutionary this entire time, and I'd be willing to bet Garling is in on it as well.
What if they tie it back to the big warm eddy from the start of the arc ,and have kuma repel Saturn to the bottom of the ocean and self destruct causing an even bigger warm eddy
I don’t think it took that long, if Kuma began his journey to Egghead at the same time that Luffy and the group met Vegapunk and he is only just arriving on Egghead now. Then that is about a day of travel, maybe a little less (like 22 hours?) Even in our world you could take an airplane to the opposite side of the planet at about the same time.
Well we do not know if Kuma can hit himself multiple times while he is in flight. It was only stated that he can send things flying for 3 days. Those things he sends flying doesn't have the paw paw fruit while in flight.
I original thought that when Bonney walked through the bubble it happened. But also one lindenburg could have "flicked a switch" in Kuma that Vagapunk left. Or vagapunk could have left something in the Kuma as he can't take humanity
Syv made a prediction and i m very invested in it When kuma first made his move lucci was talking about how bonney was now useless and lets just kill her, while the kuma seraphim was behind him When kuma got to egghead he didnt fight any marines but he did paw paw away the clam vice admiral, the very same one that had attacked bonney
IF there was no specific trigger then my theory on Kuma and his actions is pretty much borrowed from the movie IRobot with Will Smith. In the movie the world’s robot worker force begin undergoing a phenomonon where random segments of code coalesce into what is basically the equivalent of consciousness and the human soul. It’s a subconscious change over time that isn’t really even apparent at the end of the flic. Now, “random segments of code”, that can coalesce; kuma has that in spades since he was already human once, a.k.a. memories, feelings, personality, etc. that could coalesce into the basis of Kuma’s soul that simply functions as new software on a subconscious level. Which I suppose could even lead to the full restoration of Kuma’s soul if you want to take it that far. Basically the same happens in plenty of other anime/manga. Anyways I thought it sounded better than “instincts”, and this could still apply if there was a trigger as well.
What if Kumas behavior is actualy an effect of saturns devil fruit ? He made a deal with Kuma and that involved not harming bonny. Now Saturn attempted to do exactly that and thats why Kuma gets his mind back or something like that ?
@tekking101 I came up with a theory. Currently watching this video but what if IMU is sugar from dressrosa. Peter Pan theory- she’s a child Devil fruit ability- uses berries to turn people into toys/kids. “Berries”= pirate worth/bounty
Sugar never seen luffy but was terrified of usopp after the battle. And usopp is the interested will of Nolan. And that connects to the theory of usopp in the final war after Elva’s becoming a great warrior of the sea.
Here's a theory that popped into my mind just now. What if the only way to kill the gorosei is to kill Imu? Maybe they can be taken out temporarely but they'll keep coming back as long as Imu is alive commanding them and giving them immortality.
Imu is their leader, the most important one. And more a mystery. Why would killing them be required to dispatch the gorosei. It doesn't make sense. They're all likely actual devils or made a pact with the original devils or something and Imu is the top. They're all definitely some weird demonic entity that have lived centuries. Saturn said bonneys fruit was created by him and hers is a lesser version. I'm guessing they have some separate immortality power, could be another person that's a prisoner we have yet to see.
Can't wait for the egghead recap vid. So much stuff happening in this arc that will leave waves for the entire end game of the story Shanks one shotting some snot nosed kid. Blackbeard beating the rules. The warlords moving. Garp capture. The marines in scramble due to normal people who got ruined by the celestial dragon tax return that favor and the entire kuma backstory and so on It's so packed and reverse of wano that was very isolated
I like to believe kuma overheard dragons call with Vegapunk and responded to vegapunk saying that he was going to die soon. He did say he had super human hearing
If Vivi got the Paw-Paw Fruit and rejoined the crew, she could essentially be the quick-travel mechanism. Though I guess she could only warp between one side of the Red Line.
Kuma could have also asked Vega Punk to include a voice recording to trigger in the event of his death. That recording could talk about Bonney or even more.
ngl he mightve heard dragon talking to shaka bc he mentioned having super hearing in the flashback and shaka was on the phone with dragon when the strawhats arrived, saying he might die soon. a couple chapters later, kuma left so it mightve started off as him coming to save vegapunk but as soon as he realised bonney was there, he changed directives..?
He might be connected to all the PXes and the Kuma seraphim since when he was coming to save Bonney he only attacked the 2 Vice Admiral that attacked Bonney directly and maybe Lucci saying to kill Bonney in front of the Seraphim was the trigger
The timeline between all the side stuff in Egghead is confusing. We know the attack at Reverie and Sabo returning Kuma took place over the 3-4 weeks at Wano, but all of the Coby and Garp stuff could've been weeks ago.
There is a lot of parallels to the sun but one I noticed last night was the flag of alabasta red circle with what looks like little flames coming off it you should do a video of all the sun flags and non sun flags
Wouldn't it be such a moment if this entire time Kuma is saving the revolutionaries, Bonnie, the strawhats. And they will be the one who save Kuna in the end. ❤
I'm thinking Kuma was drawn to Egghead as a result of his df abilities. The memory bubble in Egghead was destroyed when Bonney touched it and that could have been the trigger for his return.
I think Kuma snapped to action once Bonny was confirmed to be on the island. He might be connected to Punk Records and once any of the Vegapunks saw her it signaled him.
That's the point even if he can regenerate Kuma can keep going till his battery dies. That's the time everyone needs to get out and for Luffy to eat and get energy back.
What if one of the reasons why Kuma has his free will back, is because the Warlord system was abolished? Because the first condition of the original agreement was that Kuma joined the Warlords . but since there's no more Warlord system, he's completely fulfilled his end of the deal. So he's technically no longer part of the world government. And because Kuma was rescued by the Revolutionary army, same day the kings of the world government voted to abolish warlord system. The world government didn't get chance to tweek Kuma's programing. Who offered a replacement for the seven Warlords ? Dr Vegapunk. I could definitely be about this, it was just a thought.
Hey, everyone (including myself) seemed to be on the "everyone is frozen because of some strange power of Saturn's" train, but I just remembered that on Egghead, anyone wearing the boots can be immobilized, so what if Saturn just has control of that?!
Yeah, all I'm saying is that Tekking is saying that there's nothing technological or magical explaining Kuma's arrival, that it was all instinct from Kuma, but how would that be possible lol ?@@TheRealObi-wanKenobi
maybe its the perfect storm of things that happened. did we see what the revolutionaries did to repair him? could they have removed the control chip. Could it be the necklace and Luffy? There was an example already in the story of a father knowing innately where their child was with dragon and ivonkov, where Ivonkov asked him why he always looks a certain way. Like I dont think its that farfetched that Kuma has something similar with bonnie, maybe love allows for a low level sense of where someone special is in the world. like your will allows you to see their general location no matter the distance.
Wait a minute. Tekking talking about saturns healing and what if kuma just kept punching him reminded me of the ouroboros from fma. Lust literally died from taking too much sustained damage from Mustang. If that's the case, could we see that happen here with kuma, kizaru, luffy, bonney all just nonstop attacking him?
Question... Kuma mentioned that Vegapunk couldn't touch the bubble that was his memories or it would disappear. What if Bonney touching it was what triggered Kuma coming to Egghead?
The thought of Saturn getting just blown apart by Kuma, healing and calling him silly of all possible words in response is giving me some real Venture Bros. vibes, Tekking. Not sure if that was what you were going for, but the way you describe things can really point some pretty vivid pictures, dude.

You know, Tekking. By regular standards Kuma is quite big, Gigantic even, and the fact that he is going to punch someone is not lost on me either. We could even say that that giant fist is coming to Saturn, or maybe even:

13:50 Just like when S-Boa went against a direct order and unpretified everyone
Kuma being a D. does make sense. He smiled at his 'death' when Vegapunk pulled the switch after all.
There is a quote that I think goes really well with the situation with Kuma "the mind may forget but the body remembers". I think that works perfectly for the way Kuma reacts to bonney. he that since's bonney in danger and his body insteadly reacts to save. It could be cool if it worked like that

It means the WG broke their promise. He agreed to all of this on the condition she is unharmed.

2:27
Was this a callback to Dragon Ball Abridged where Cell says that?
I just love how much mileage the Onigashima Muffins have gotten since Tekking made them
Kuma got memory back when bonney burst his memory bubble.
Maybe Kuma asked Vegapunk to program a failsafe into him that overrides the command structure if the Gorosei ever broke their arrangement to keep Bonney safe, just as the Gorosei installed the bomb to kill Kuma if he broke their arrangement. And Cipher Pol attempting to assassinate Bonney at the orders of the WG triggered that.

I like to believe that the memory bubble Bonnie went into got sent back into Kuma and "woke" him up somehow.
Never even wondered how Lili moved the Poneglyphs in the first place... she had to of had the Paw Paw fruit in my eyes.

Just a point; remember that Kuma's power DOES take time to travel. I suspect the stuff with Kuma in Marijois happened several days before.
I don’t think it took that long, if Kuma began his journey to Egghead at the same time that Luffy and the group met Vegapunk and he is only just arriving on Egghead now. Then that is about a day of travel, maybe a little less (like 22 hours?) Even in our world you could take an airplane to the opposite side of the planet at about the same time.
Well we do not know if Kuma can hit himself multiple times while he is in flight. It was only stated that he can send things flying for 3 days. Those things he sends flying doesn't have the paw paw fruit while in flight.
I original thought that when Bonney walked through the bubble it happened. But also one lindenburg could have "flicked a switch" in Kuma that Vagapunk left. Or vagapunk could have left something in the Kuma as he can't take humanity
Thank you for the video! I always enjoy watching your videos! I really enjoyed this video!
Syv made a prediction and i m very invested in it
When kuma first made his move lucci was talking about how bonney was now useless and lets just kill her, while the kuma seraphim was behind him
When kuma got to egghead he didnt fight any marines but he did paw paw away the clam vice admiral, the very same one that had attacked bonney
IF there was no specific trigger then my theory on Kuma and his actions is pretty much borrowed from the movie IRobot with Will Smith. In the movie the world’s robot worker force begin undergoing a phenomonon where random segments of code coalesce into what is basically the equivalent of consciousness and the human soul. It’s a subconscious change over time that isn’t really even apparent at the end of the flic. Now, “random segments of code”, that can coalesce; kuma has that in spades since he was already human once, a.k.a. memories, feelings, personality, etc. that could coalesce into the basis of Kuma’s soul that simply functions as new software on a subconscious level. Which I suppose could even lead to the full restoration of Kuma’s soul if you want to take it that far. Basically the same happens in plenty of other anime/manga. Anyways I thought it sounded better than “instincts”, and this could still apply if there was a trigger as well.
I hope at the very end of the fight right before Kuma's bomb goes off the last fragments of him smiles at bonnie and says happy birthday to her.
Theory: Kuma went to Marijoies to get heavily damaged so he can pass that damage onto Saturn
Thank you for a great video guys
What if Kumas behavior is actualy an effect of saturns devil fruit ? He made a deal with Kuma and that involved not harming bonny. Now Saturn attempted to do exactly that and thats why Kuma gets his mind back or something like that ?
@tekking101 I came up with a theory. Currently watching this video but what if IMU is sugar from dressrosa.
Peter Pan theory- she’s a child
Devil fruit ability- uses berries to turn people into toys/kids.
“Berries”= pirate worth/bounty
Semi based on animeuproar’s new video.
Sugar never seen luffy but was terrified of usopp after the battle. And usopp is the interested will of Nolan. And that connects to the theory of usopp in the final war after Elva’s becoming a great warrior of the sea.
Also the resemblance to vivi
This is very unlikely, because Sugar is only like 20, among other things
How would thst work? Cause unless Imu was judt working under doffy for shits and giggles. I don't think thst works
Common Cyborg 16!! This time it will surely work...
Here's a theory that popped into my mind just now. What if the only way to kill the gorosei is to kill Imu? Maybe they can be taken out temporarely but they'll keep coming back as long as Imu is alive commanding them and giving them immortality.
Imu is their leader, the most important one. And more a mystery. Why would killing them be required to dispatch the gorosei. It doesn't make sense. They're all likely actual devils or made a pact with the original devils or something and Imu is the top.
They're all definitely some weird demonic entity that have lived centuries. Saturn said bonneys fruit was created by him and hers is a lesser version. I'm guessing they have some separate immortality power, could be another person that's a prisoner we have yet to see.
Yessir! Another Tekking video, another great day indeed!!
Wasn’t it said post sabaody, that when Kuma sends you flying, you fly for 3 days and nights?
I have a hunch that vega punk disobeyed Saturn's last order
Let Bonney join the Revolutionary Army. Let Yamato join the Strawhat grand fleet somehow
Can't wait for the egghead recap vid. So much stuff happening in this arc that will leave waves for the entire end game of the story
Shanks one shotting some snot nosed kid. Blackbeard beating the rules. The warlords moving. Garp capture. The marines in scramble due to normal people who got ruined by the celestial dragon tax return that favor and the entire kuma backstory and so on
It's so packed and reverse of wano that was very isolated
You should do a video on the buccaneer race
I'm praying on Saturn's downfall
I feel like the Blackbeard pirates that are at Egghead might be waiting for their opportunity to steal Kuma's fruit .
Lmao u was spot on with ur kuma instinct prediction
Vegapunk put in that if Saturn was to hurt Bonnie or have her hurt as long as Kuma keeps his word and is loyal it reverts him back to his personality
Great video as always.
10:56 the flag of alabasta as well
I like to believe kuma overheard dragons call with Vegapunk and responded to vegapunk saying that he was going to die soon. He did say he had super human hearing
If Vivi got the Paw-Paw Fruit and rejoined the crew, she could essentially be the quick-travel mechanism. Though I guess she could only warp between one side of the Red Line.
Kuma could have also asked Vega Punk to include a voice recording to trigger in the event of his death. That recording could talk about Bonney or even more.
Keep up the awesome work and videos tekking love the video
ngl he mightve heard dragon talking to shaka bc he mentioned having super hearing in the flashback and shaka was on the phone with dragon when the strawhats arrived, saying he might die soon. a couple chapters later, kuma left so it mightve started off as him coming to save vegapunk but as soon as he realised bonney was there, he changed directives..?
He might be connected to all the PXes and the Kuma seraphim since when he was coming to save Bonney he only attacked the 2 Vice Admiral that attacked Bonney directly and maybe Lucci saying to kill Bonney in front of the Seraphim was the trigger
The timeline between all the side stuff in Egghead is confusing. We know the attack at Reverie and Sabo returning Kuma took place over the 3-4 weeks at Wano, but all of the Coby and Garp stuff could've been weeks ago.
in the anime opening egghead is also in the shape of the sun symbol on the necklace which I thought was interesting
kuma pummels saturn to death like Mustang and Lust 😂😂
There is a lot of parallels to the sun but one I noticed last night was the flag of alabasta red circle with what looks like little flames coming off it you should do a video of all the sun flags and non sun flags
The thing that got Kuma moving to egghead was when Bonnie passed out after all the bugs got attracted to vegapunks light saber
Wouldn't it be such a moment if this entire time Kuma is saving the revolutionaries, Bonnie, the strawhats. And they will be the one who save Kuna in the end. ❤
My theory is that Kuma asked Vegapunk to install a virtual VivreCard for Bonnie so he'd always know where she is and if she's alright
I'm thinking Kuma was drawn to Egghead as a result of his df abilities. The memory bubble in Egghead was destroyed when Bonney touched it and that could have been the trigger for his return.
BOOM! Tetris for Kuma!
Kuma, the robot, and Luffy all getting their hands on Saturn. He’s f****d.
I think Kuma snapped to action once Bonny was confirmed to be on the island. He might be connected to Punk Records and once any of the Vegapunks saw her it signaled him.
Shanks was filming the next eye catch.
Holy cow. posted 19 seconds ago. Thanks for all you do Tekking.
That's the point even if he can regenerate Kuma can keep going till his battery dies. That's the time everyone needs to get out and for Luffy to eat and get energy back.
Eff it Kuma gonna survive and be the leader of cyborg army, which was vegapunks intention all along🤞
What if one of the reasons why Kuma has his free will back, is because the Warlord system was abolished?
Because the first condition of the original agreement was that Kuma joined the Warlords .
but since there's no more Warlord system, he's completely fulfilled his end of the deal.
So he's technically no longer part of the world government.
And because Kuma was rescued by the Revolutionary army, same day the kings of the world government voted to abolish warlord system. The world government didn't get chance to tweek Kuma's programing.
Who offered a replacement for the seven Warlords ? Dr Vegapunk.
I could definitely be about this, it was just a thought.
Hey, everyone (including myself) seemed to be on the "everyone is frozen because of some strange power of Saturn's" train, but I just remembered that on Egghead, anyone wearing the boots can be immobilized, so what if Saturn just has control of that?!
But if the necklace does nothing, how did Kuma know where to go in the first place ? It's not like he knew Bonney is on Egghead
Maybe he felt his memory bubble being absorbed by someone
Yeah, all I'm saying is that Tekking is saying that there's nothing technological or magical explaining Kuma's arrival, that it was all instinct from Kuma, but how would that be possible lol ?@@TheRealObi-wanKenobi
The one thing I know about Vegapunk is he's the ultimate perfectionist so I bet that bomb is the ultimate bomb
I think that Kuma is somehow connected to S-Bear and he heard Lucci talking about eliminating Bonny so that is what made him go to egg head.
4:56 DO we know Im's been around since the Void Century, or is it just assumed? I mean, it's VERY believable anyway xD
TIEN to CELL :- KI KO HO
KUMA to SATURN :- BOOM BOOM BOOM
Attack 100%
Damage 0%
Am I the only one who thinks Tekkings hair reminds them of Doc-Ock from the 90s Spiderman Cartoon?
maybe its the perfect storm of things that happened. did we see what the revolutionaries did to repair him? could they have removed the control chip. Could it be the necklace and Luffy? There was an example already in the story of a father knowing innately where their child was with dragon and ivonkov, where Ivonkov asked him why he always looks a certain way. Like I dont think its that farfetched that Kuma has something similar with bonnie, maybe love allows for a low level sense of where someone special is in the world. like your will allows you to see their general location no matter the distance.
With this many recent breaks One Piece is having, I can see we are still in the Egg Head by Christmas next year.
Wait a minute. Tekking talking about saturns healing and what if kuma just kept punching him reminded me of the ouroboros from fma. Lust literally died from taking too much sustained damage from Mustang. If that's the case, could we see that happen here with kuma, kizaru, luffy, bonney all just nonstop attacking him?
Question... Kuma mentioned that Vegapunk couldn't touch the bubble that was his memories or it would disappear. What if Bonney touching it was what triggered Kuma coming to Egghead?
