I do in fact believe that Brook has the most tragic back story. While sure you can't really quantify despair, this dude had to see how all of his friends died in a bittersweet moment, only to come back to life and sail the florian triangle for 50 years alone and lonely with the rotting corpses of his friends, always being remembered that they are gone forever, with the additional burden that he won't be able to fulfill the promise to the single friend that is still alive
The tattoo on Dragon's face, has the same pattern as the band he was wearing on his thigh in the flashback. I'm guessing it was a symbol of the Freedom fighters, which eventually evolved into his own symbol of Revolution. He may have gotten it tattooed when he officially formed the Revolutionary Army, as a declaration of open Rebellion.
Saddest backstory for me is chopper, I don't cry much but I do every time I watch the anime version of those scenes. The moments where hiruluk and kureha call him their son always gets me.
Brook's back story is still the only piece of any media that has made me cry. The idea of watching everyone you know and love drop dead one by one, knowing that you are going to be the only one left.. it's just heartbreaking
I would argue that with the straw hats, we are comparing sadness apples to oranges. Each one is unique and meaningful in its own way and shows a type of tragedy that blends so well and meaningfully together with the others. We can compare their sadness levels, DBZ style, and that discussion has value, but I prefer the romantic viewpoint of admiring the incredible drama mosaic that Oda has meticulously created for us. It is a masterpiece that continues to give, which one could argue is what makes masterpieces timeless.
Oh yeah that would be awesome, and maybe everyone believes Loki's tricks and doesn't believe Usopp? Would really be a bit of karma for all the lying usopp has done.
Bro the way oda is dropping crucial info so often is blowing my mind every week. I don’t know how much longer I’ll last. and I love how important elbaph/elbaf is gonna be
Kaido was an antagonist whose main thing was brute strength, that can't be topped without invalidating kaido as he is dubbed the world's strongest creature but there's a ton of tricky and challenging ways antagonists can be a threat
I mean they can always pull the 'cell'-card now they introduced the Seraphim. He was captured 7 times so it is not impossible they got a DNA-sample back then. After the Straw hats dealt with the Shijibukai-seraphim, maybe the emperor-seraphim are next in line, or like cell a seraph who starts to absorb other seraph to grow his powers. I hope not, even though I trust Oda to make this plot his own and make something truely awesome to experience.
To me Nami's back story is really being underrated these days. No one ever mentions how she spent her whole life gathering money and drawing maps for the man who killed her mother and having the money to free her people stolen from her at the last second.
@@Onizukaash yes, but we don't spend as much time with every slave and we don't see them so desperate that they stab the spot where their opresser marked them while shouting their name over and over. Shit was really heart breaking.
@@Onizukaash I mean.. Having many victims doesn't make it any less sad. The holocaust had millions of victims but obviously.. They also didn't have her specific reason to gather money and the build up of why she voluntarily joined their crew
Brook's backstory is definitely the saddest. He lost his whole crew in front of his eyes, and got stuck living as a skeleton alone on a ship in foggy waters for fifty years. Just think about how long FIFTY YEARS is, and he still has to live as a skeleton til this day.
Well I mean Robin lost everyone and ended up stuck with either shitty people or pirates to the point she didn't want to live. Didn't even know that Saul had lived until now. I can't see her scream "I wanna live!" without crying Brook was looking forward to finding laboon and with his shadow would've found him and Crocus. Don't get me wrong though both are sad, It isn't right leaving just the accompanyment.
I wouldn’t be shocked if the Kuma story completely changed. I mean we know he wasn’t originally Bonnie’s dad, Bonnie didn’t exist yet, and the idea of Oda adapting this story to better fit his new world view as a father fits really well with One Piece’s views on family and parenthood
I'm actually hoping we get a flashback to Robin's time with the Revolutionary Army. It would make sense to see her interactions with Dragon since he knew Clover.
I've been expecting a Davy back fight vs Shanks for ages. There had to be some reason for it to be introduced. Seeing them go all out in a competition could be just as interesting as a fight.
I think we will get the full story this arc... the big flash back sequence for the egg head island arc will hopefully be Dragon's 5-10 chapter flashback sequence for Dragon and the revolutionaries
The Tattoo in his face can actually be seen has a leg band in the full panel of him. Gonna guess that the symbol is something about his heritage (maybe somewhat Lunarian), and when he decided to form the army, he tattoo'ed it in his face to show the goverment the people/history they are fighting
After the pandemic, I have to say Brook. He saw half of his crew mates get sick with an unknown, presumable incurable deadly disease and watched the other half die. Then he was forced to spend decades isolated from the rest of the world. And this was before his shadow was stolen and he became unable to go out into the sunlight. After being on lockdown for just a few months, I was going insane with loneliness and I wasn't even living alone at the time. I rewatched One Piece shortly after most restrictions had been lifted and I cried my eyes out at his backstory. It's just so hard not to feel devasted at what Brook went through, especially since we can all relate in someway to what he experienced after living through 2020.
Saddest backstory is Brooke hands-down. The others went through a good amount sure but the thought of losing his crew effectively twice is heartbreaking and the second time he had to sit amongst their corpses for 50 years I think it was. I don’t know how he could smile but I’m glad he does because I love him
Definitely the most terrible backstory ad the one I would least want to live through, just 50 years of nearly complete isolation by itself trumps pretty much every other backstory in one piece in how horrible that would be, but I still found Robins backstory to be sadder to me as a reader
When Kuzan freezes Saul with an ability called “Ice Time Capsule”. So I think he knew he’s alive. Also the cover story of chapter 631, shows Crocus and a mystery man sitting with Laboon. It’s a theory/was in the fandom that it’s Yorki. I can’t say one way or another, but Laboon looks happy.
Can we get a video on corozon??? I feel like people overlook him. He was a navy spy, but not only that was in direct contact with sengoku. He had to have known some sensitive info on why his brother wanted the op op fruit and must know something about the celestial dragons and world government.
So Dragon went from being so dedicated to his cause that he got tattooed the symbol of the freedom fighters on his face, to having Luffy only 2 or 3 years after the movement has been founded… Luffy's mother must have been one hell of a special woman to have such a committed man be distracted by love and family and stuff. I can't wait for Oda to give us details about her and her story.
A lot of assumptions there..... I mean it was pretty clear dragon wasn't about family and stuff since he literally gave luffy away at the first opportunity..... And we don't even know if love was involved at all, luffys mom could have been just some women he met on the side (his main wife being revolution) and he just happened to get her pregnant.
As someone who caught up to One Piece during Wano, I must say it has been an absolute pleasure getting to experience this new arc along with everyone in this community. Seeing all the speculation and theorizing has gotten me even more excited to see where Oda is taking this amazing series next.
The saddest backstory is Brook's. The dude spent more than double most of the people in this comment sections life times sitting on a ship with the corpses of his best friends reliving the moments he spent with them just to be forced back into reality again. He was forced to find the humour in the most mundane tasks in order to laugh so he could ease the pain and only went on living so that he could play a song for Laboon one more time. Even though Robin and Chopper had quick heartbreaking moments, it does not compare to picking up the skeletons of your best friends for 50 years.
Wanted Loki to have a Logia Devil Fruit since: 1. Hajruden at the Dressrosa Colosseum mentioned that the Mera Mera no mi would give him the power he needs to become the Giant Prince. 2.Giant Logia would be a great story addition
Idk about saddest, but Brook's backstory moved me to tears the most whrn he said that he's so glad helped if only because he got to meet the SH. All that suffering and heartache in endless night for decades with no light at the tunnel, was worth it as he got a second family. I cry every time.
The saddest backstory is handsdown Chopper's. Imagine being shunned away by your family, being treated like a monster, finally finding a ray of hope and ending up becoming the reason for the death of that hope. When someone tries to do something good from the bottom of their heart and it becomes a tragedy, that's what makes me cry. Someone being punished by nature and destiny for just existing and being a loving person is just wrong.
"Gave his life" could be many interpretations other than death to be fair, perhaps he was captured and punished just so Aokiji looked like he was doing his job in capturing Saul. Aokiji just didn't say any of this to Robin maybe out of respect for Saul?
I had a long standing belief that Oda was a Cuban Revolution sympathizer. Considering he had pictures of Che and replicas of his gun in his workplace. Plus how Luffy's and Marx's birthday coincide on the same date. Truly a hero.
Luckily for us Oda was born in a capitalist country that could allow him the freedom to create his art in trade for his worldly needs and wants. Lucky indeed
@@erichale7896 you have no understanding of how censorious Capitalist nations are. Everything that you are blaming non-capitalist countries of doing, capitalist "free" countries do to, albeit worse.
@@jandrashriker5861 I didn't blame anyone of anything. I'm just happy Oda was born someplace with abundant food, lifestyle choice to be able to create to create art for a living, and in the modern Era so he is able to share it with all of us.
mmm, el Che was an evil piece of shit dictator who executed thousands of divergents and homosexuals, and it grew on him he enjoyed it. ironically nowadays, ppl who would've been incarcerated or shot down, supportive modern leftists and homosexuals usually admire him... idk, maybe being venezuelan makes me biased against socialist/comunist regimes, but that's just common sense. i know for a fact that the Cuban revolution turned out to later become a near 60 year dictatorship rather than a "hero" thing, not el Che and Not Fidel
I've read about Nami's and Robin's backstories, but the saddest one is that of Kyros. The dude is the literal meaning of "being careful what you wish for". He wanted people to forget him for being a murderer, while in reality he paid his debt and had long been forgotten. Then, he would turn into a toy and his wife would die in his hands; Scarlet had forgotten him, he wasn't feeling her due to his hands being made of plastic and she suffered a tragic death, feeling alone and only praying for her daughter. And afterwards, he would proceed to raise his daughter without him knowing who he truly is, without her having a single memory of his time when he was a human. And that happened for quite a while, with him being one of the few people who believed in the rebellion against Doflamingo
Nami had the saddest backstory. Robin was an inverted version of the same story. Nami worked for her oppressors, Robin ran from her’s. Nami needed to reclaim her home, Robin has to avenge her’s. Nami fought tooth and nail to backstab and leave the crew whereas Robin went above and beyond for loyalty.
Dragon isn't actually the biological son of Marine Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp. Drawing an eerie parallel to his relationship with the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, the theory claims that Garp actually adopted Dragon after the God Valley Incident, which took place on the island of God Valley 38 years ago.
Elbaf is set to be an Usopp arc, being Loki "the trickster god" the ruler of Elbaf, I can see Usopp being the one or at least the key to take down Loki, which would earn him the respect and admiration of all giants and making him believe himself to be a brave warrior
I find Nami’s backstory to be the saddest… watching someone kill her mother, then becoming that person’s slave, having too see them every day and put on a fake personality just so that he won’t kill the rest of her friends and family. It’s really screwed up the more you think about it. She was forced to become the thing she hated most, “Pirates” just to have a chance to save her town. She wasn’t even free to be her true self, and thought everyone in the town that she was trying to save hated her for it. I also adore Nami, so it could be a lot of bias that makes me feel this way lol.
Robin has the saddest imo, because she dealt with the destruction of her hometown as a child. Added later by her almost continuous betrayal by other people which messed her up so badly that she doubted the strawhats loyalty. Brooks is close second as isolation of 50 years must’ve be traumatic as fuck, but I don’t recall them having like lasting damage of his mental state or something, which is mainly due to brooks age when dealing with the trauma and as a more comic relief character without a direct solo arc
I think kuma might either regain his humanity or a more heart wrenching conclusion would be to have him do it without vegapunk restoring him, only to sacrifice himself so that bonney can live
The ending threw me off so hard lol. Im thinking damn I got a lot of laundry to do and in that exact moment he says “heres another video because I know you have more cleaning to do” perfect timing lmao
8:28 An additional point; Brook travelled the world as an artist named "Soul King" and looked like a skeleton. Nobody who knew him would recognise him as their Brook. Additionally, only after the time-skip does Brook have his Soul King-wanted poster. So the only time anyone of his former crew would know he'd be alive would be *after* the time-skip. When everything is done, I would not be surprised if his former captain was waiting for him with Laboon - there also was a cover with Laboon, Crocus and someone with their back turned to us who we haven't been able to identify: It's likely him.
1:24 i don't know i think sonic the hedgehog would probably want a word with dragon about that,(even if they likely aren't coming back any time soon but still.)with egghead possibly being franky's arc does make me think of art i saw of him stealing eggman's egg mobile(also him sharing the same birthday as his game actor mike pollok.). really interested in alongside likely being usopp's arc it'll possibly give a reunion with saul for nico robin(that'd be a hilariously awesome way for him to survive just having kuzan's ice being melted by the tons of fire around it.) and him being alive doesn't ruin the story compared to pell as yorky's likely still alive(nami,robin,brook,chopper & sanji are the saddest in order to me.) with the islands in the calm belt he could've ended on like amazon lily(be funny if nyon casually revealed him.). ,with loki think with the trickster god it could go the dragonball route of magic users like towa/dabura/babidi(who could've been a legit threat if instead of having the z villain idiotic arrogance he used his magic on the z fighters loved ones like he did to the tournament staff's head to get them to back off.) that challenged the z fighters without being "trying to be frieza again" and think kuma will show up with the revolutionaries(the father/daughter experience reminds me of oda making nami sexier from his wife cosplaying as her in a jump festa when they met/that image of luffy & nami celebrating oda's child.) .
This arc could very well end up being focused on both Robin AND Franky, after all the arc where we met Franky is the same as when we learned about Robin's past to begin with. It also intrigues me that Dragon had the idea to form the revolutionary army so far ahead of Luffy being born. Makes me wonder if he even planned to have children, or if his inception somehow ties in with Dragon's plans.
Something that I'd like to be answered in this arc would he the relationship between Vegapunk, Judge and Queen. It's something that has been alluded a few times but we don't exactly know much about it or what their research were
Brook has the saddest back story. My man had to watch every member of his crew die, come back to life, surrounded by his dead friends. Which he then has to bury, and sail the fog alone for years.
Great vid. Super excited to see more Dragon. I saw someone point out that the design on the bandana on his leg is pretty similar to his face tattoo. So I think there is a good indication that his face tat has to do w O'Hara. Maybe that bandana has some significance? Idk. Maybe it was Clover's or something like that? Or maybe he found it on a charred O'haran corpse? Or maybe he just had it on at the time and swore an oath on his special head/leg apparel.. Gorosei def messed up when they massacred O'Hara. That got them on Dragon's shit list. Which is no bueno
I assume the tall Vegapunk was probably Vegapunk 1 with a different, less badass outfit. It seems like the bodies Vegapunk placed his mind into are made to look like, and act like people he wanted to be like and/or fictional characters he wanted to become, Sanji family was made inspiration to a manga in the verse, so why not Vegapunk doing the same thing, but with his mind. (Well maybe not the Vegapunk for eating, sleeping, and pooping, that was probably made so he could always be working on his projects, and experiments.)
The giants, and their prince are definitely insanely powerful. Big mom wanted to have them in her army, she even tried to fool them by marrying off the wrong daughter. Had they not been so strong, she'd simply enslave them. They were strong enough to keep her at bay.
I could see usopp being the one to fight Loki, in some sort of lie battle, where he would come out victorious, and be declared the greatest warrior on the sea by the giants.
It seems like every single time I watch a Grand Line Review video, I am literally always in the middle of working on something, organizing, cleaning or doing something else routine focused..
Here's my defence of the Vivre Cards being "inaccurate". Assuming Oda already knows he wants to do certain changes in the future, if he tells the publishers such secrets, it'll eventually get leaked like the week early spoilers which is a shame. If only there was a Disney ironclad rule of "spill the beans and we'll be sueing you until your next life".... Oda wants to surprise us so he obviously won't reveal some things.
I've always liked the idea of The Straw Hat pirates and Red Hair pirates having a Davy-Back fight over a poneglyph. It's such a goofy idea that was presented by such a non serious character, I'd love to see how the One Piece world reacts to two emperors having a Davy-Back fight
I think the older design of vegapunk is actually shaka , shaka looks like vegapunk in he’s younger years before the fruit destroyed his body due to information overload
Brook for sure. Even worse than loosing your nakama is to leave alone on a wondering ship for all these years. Makes you wonder how he is possible to keep his sanity in place
Robin and Franky's stories played perfectly side by side in Water 7/Enies Lobby back in the day, what with the whole morale conundrum of if existing is a crime. Who's to say that couldn't be happening again in the current arc? Doesn't necessarily have to focus on either one of them
I love the parallels with Dr. Vegapunk and Star Trek’s Noonien Soong, creator of Data. Genius scientist who is only seen at the end of his life, with fingers in plot pie and juicy plot fruit drops before his exit.
“Basically anyone is in this competition except zero and usopp” I don’t think that’s entirely true because zero still had the whole friend falling down the stairs thing
I was thinking more like Utgard Loki. An entirely different Loki who is a giant that plays some tricks on Thor and Loki that would perfectly fit into a Davyback style fight.
Brook's back story is most depressing by far, imagine watching your whole crew die in front of your eyes but have to live with their rotting corpses all around him, not truly be able to let go, wishing and imagining times with them when they are lying beside him for whole 50 years. Imagine Staying alone in darkness with no one to talk to, nothing to do, drifting aimlessly, unable to die for 50 whole years only in hopes of meeting laboon one day.
The cover imagine of chapter 836 is kinda interesting. Aokiji and his penguin are reading the newspaper, and in the background we see large mountains, fir trees and a log cabin. The terrain and architecture looks similar to what we've previously seen, so it could indicate that Aokiji has visited Saul on Elbaf
The saddest backstory will always be brook. He watched his whole crew die and had to be alone for so so long.
But law
Oh wait if it’s the straw hats then yeah brook has the saddest backstory
Don't forget how he used have hallucinations too
i still think robin bc she had to see her people die
I somewhat agree but something about Robin persecuted and the way its animated makes it feel sadder. That was before the release of 1066 at least
I do in fact believe that Brook has the most tragic back story. While sure you can't really quantify despair, this dude had to see how all of his friends died in a bittersweet moment, only to come back to life and sail the florian triangle for 50 years alone and lonely with the rotting corpses of his friends, always being remembered that they are gone forever, with the additional burden that he won't be able to fulfill the promise to the single friend that is still alive
Ah great u got a bot
Also dont forger his shadow was stolen and for iirc, atleast a decade he had to hide during the sun, and avoid being hunted by morias zombozos
Robin witnessed the genocide of her country at 8 y.o., which she had a complicated relationship to begin with. That's brutal.
The tattoo on Dragon's face, has the same pattern as the band he was wearing on his thigh in the flashback. I'm guessing it was a symbol of the Freedom fighters, which eventually evolved into his own symbol of Revolution. He may have gotten it tattooed when he officially formed the Revolutionary Army, as a declaration of open Rebellion.
It's also the pattern on the band of that zombie samurai with brooks shadow

1. Hajruden at the Dressrosa Colosseum mentioned that the Mera Mera no mi would give him the power he needs to become the Giant Prince.
2.Giant Logia would be a great story addition
Good content!
Dragon is getting more time in the manga and the theories are getting better
saddest backstory is senor pink. Best strawhat member in my heart
Epicly made mate this is gonna have alot of views lata
I cannot describe the feeling of the bluest of balls finally being relieved.
I’d really like to hear your thoughts about the “dragon is robin’s father” theory
Idk about saddest, but Brook's backstory moved me to tears the most whrn he said that he's so glad helped if only because he got to meet the SH. All that suffering and heartache in endless night for decades with no light at the tunnel, was worth it as he got a second family.
I cry every time.
I still think Robin has the saddest backstory out of the Straw Hats, but Kaw's is the saddest out of the entire series
The saddest backstory is handsdown Chopper's. Imagine being shunned away by your family, being treated like a monster, finally finding a ray of hope and ending up becoming the reason for the death of that hope. When someone tries to do something good from the bottom of their heart and it becomes a tragedy, that's what makes me cry. Someone being punished by nature and destiny for just existing and being a loving person is just wrong.
this is a very informative video for a person who gave up on the anime in the middle of the wano-kuni arc.
my replies are all getting deleted. russian scammers. the guile.
Title immediately made me think of the dark crystal where chamberlain is like, “it’s time to make my move”
Brook has my favourite backstory, but the saddest I would say is Robin
"Gave his life" could be many interpretations other than death to be fair, perhaps he was captured and punished just so Aokiji looked like he was doing his job in capturing Saul. Aokiji just didn't say any of this to Robin maybe out of respect for Saul?
I had a long standing belief that Oda was a Cuban Revolution sympathizer. Considering he had pictures of Che and replicas of his gun in his workplace. Plus how Luffy's and Marx's birthday coincide on the same date. Truly a hero.
Luckily for us Oda was born in a capitalist country that could allow him the freedom to create his art in trade for his worldly needs and wants. Lucky indeed
@@erichale7896 you have no understanding of how censorious Capitalist nations are. Everything that you are blaming non-capitalist countries of doing, capitalist "free" countries do to, albeit worse.
@@jandrashriker5861 I didn't blame anyone of anything. I'm just happy Oda was born someplace with abundant food, lifestyle choice to be able to create to create art for a living, and in the modern Era so he is able to share it with all of us.
mmm, el Che was an evil piece of shit dictator who executed thousands of divergents and homosexuals, and it grew on him he enjoyed it. ironically nowadays, ppl who would've been incarcerated or shot down, supportive modern leftists and homosexuals usually admire him... idk, maybe being venezuelan makes me biased against socialist/comunist regimes, but that's just common sense. i know for a fact that the Cuban revolution turned out to later become a near 60 year dictatorship rather than a "hero" thing, not el Che and Not Fidel
@@sinkerdas You don't understand the history of either Cuba or Venezuela.
i love that you make videos about comments like this. makes one piece more exiting
I've read about Nami's and Robin's backstories, but the saddest one is that of Kyros. The dude is the literal meaning of "being careful what you wish for".
He wanted people to forget him for being a murderer, while in reality he paid his debt and had long been forgotten. Then, he would turn into a toy and his wife would die in his hands; Scarlet had forgotten him, he wasn't feeling her due to his hands being made of plastic and she suffered a tragic death, feeling alone and only praying for her daughter.
And afterwards, he would proceed to raise his daughter without him knowing who he truly is, without her having a single memory of his time when he was a human. And that happened for quite a while, with him being one of the few people who believed in the rebellion against Doflamingo
I don't even watch the video, I just look out for the wild, kooky adventures of Donquixote Dogflamingo
The saddest back story is definitely Robin😪
Glad to live right now. Amazing One Piece time
Nami had the saddest backstory. Robin was an inverted version of the same story. Nami worked for her oppressors, Robin ran from her’s. Nami needed to reclaim her home, Robin has to avenge her’s. Nami fought tooth and nail to backstab and leave the crew whereas Robin went above and beyond for loyalty.
Nami has a home to go back to, her island wasn't burned to the ground
The "now it's back to you...me", will NEVER get old for me lol
Dragon isn't actually the biological son of Marine Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp. Drawing an eerie parallel to his relationship with the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, the theory claims that Garp actually adopted Dragon after the God Valley Incident, which took place on the island of God Valley 38 years ago.
Elbaf is set to be an Usopp arc, being Loki "the trickster god" the ruler of Elbaf, I can see Usopp being the one or at least the key to take down Loki, which would earn him the respect and admiration of all giants and making him believe himself to be a brave warrior
I find Nami’s backstory to be the saddest… watching someone kill her mother, then becoming that person’s slave, having too see them every day and put on a fake personality just so that he won’t kill the rest of her friends and family. It’s really screwed up the more you think about it.
She was forced to become the thing she hated most, “Pirates” just to have a chance to save her town. She wasn’t even free to be her true self, and thought everyone in the town that she was trying to save hated her for it.
I also adore Nami, so it could be a lot of bias that makes me feel this way lol.
It is really sad
Don't forget being physically abused by Arlong.
Robin has the saddest imo, because she dealt with the destruction of her hometown as a child. Added later by her almost continuous betrayal by other people which messed her up so badly that she doubted the strawhats loyalty.
Brooks is close second as isolation of 50 years must’ve be traumatic as fuck, but I don’t recall them having like lasting damage of his mental state or something, which is mainly due to brooks age when dealing with the trauma and as a more comic relief character without a direct solo arc
I think kuma might either regain his humanity or a more heart wrenching conclusion would be to have him do it without vegapunk restoring him, only to sacrifice himself so that bonney can live
The ending threw me off so hard lol. Im thinking damn I got a lot of laundry to do and in that exact moment he says “heres another video because I know you have more cleaning to do” perfect timing lmao
8:28 An additional point; Brook travelled the world as an artist named "Soul King" and looked like a skeleton. Nobody who knew him would recognise him as their Brook. Additionally, only after the time-skip does Brook have his Soul King-wanted poster. So the only time anyone of his former crew would know he'd be alive would be *after* the time-skip. When everything is done, I would not be surprised if his former captain was waiting for him with Laboon - there also was a cover with Laboon, Crocus and someone with their back turned to us who we haven't been able to identify: It's likely him.
That ending would normally call me out so much 😂😂😂
BRO I never thought of the idea of a Davy Back fight between Red Hair and Strawhats, that would be AWESOME
Brook already had his ray of hope moment when they told him that Laboon was waiting for him at Reverse Mountain.
1:24 i don't know i think sonic the hedgehog would probably want a word with dragon about that,(even if they likely aren't coming back any time soon but still.)with egghead possibly being franky's arc does make me think of art i saw of him stealing eggman's egg mobile(also him sharing the same birthday as his game actor mike pollok.).
really interested in alongside likely being usopp's arc it'll possibly give a reunion with saul for nico robin(that'd be a hilariously awesome way for him to survive just having kuzan's ice being melted by the tons of fire around it.) and him being alive doesn't ruin the story compared to pell as yorky's likely still alive(nami,robin,brook,chopper & sanji are the saddest in order to me.) with the islands in the calm belt he could've ended on like amazon lily(be funny if nyon casually revealed him.).
,with loki think with the trickster god it could go the dragonball route of magic users like towa/dabura/babidi(who could've been a legit threat if instead of having the z villain idiotic arrogance he used his magic on the z fighters loved ones like he did to the tournament staff's head to get them to back off.) that challenged the z fighters without being "trying to be frieza again" and think kuma will show up with the revolutionaries(the father/daughter experience reminds me of oda making nami sexier from his wife cosplaying as her in a jump festa when they met/that image of luffy & nami celebrating oda's child.) .
This arc could very well end up being focused on both Robin AND Franky, after all the arc where we met Franky is the same as when we learned about Robin's past to begin with. It also intrigues me that Dragon had the idea to form the revolutionary army so far ahead of Luffy being born. Makes me wonder if he even planned to have children, or if his inception somehow ties in with Dragon's plans.
Something that I'd like to be answered in this arc would he the relationship between Vegapunk, Judge and Queen. It's something that has been alluded a few times but we don't exactly know much about it or what their research were
Brook has the saddest back story. My man had to watch every member of his crew die, come back to life, surrounded by his dead friends. Which he then has to bury, and sail the fog alone for years.
Bonnie is a discount Law... a "Paw" you would say.
This joke is more layered than it seems.
"You haven't finished cleaning yet" caught me off guard because I really hadn't finished cleaning
Great vid. Super excited to see more Dragon. I saw someone point out that the design on the bandana on his leg is pretty similar to his face tattoo. So I think there is a good indication that his face tat has to do w O'Hara. Maybe that bandana has some significance? Idk. Maybe it was Clover's or something like that? Or maybe he found it on a charred O'haran corpse? Or maybe he just had it on at the time and swore an oath on his special head/leg apparel.. Gorosei def messed up when they massacred O'Hara. That got them on Dragon's shit list. Which is no bueno
Kuzan is definitely undercover revolutionary
I love your endings! Last time I was doing dishes and this time I was cleaning but not done!
I assume the tall Vegapunk was probably Vegapunk 1 with a different, less badass outfit. It seems like the bodies Vegapunk placed his mind into are made to look like, and act like people he wanted to be like and/or fictional characters he wanted to become, Sanji family was made inspiration to a manga in the verse, so why not Vegapunk doing the same thing, but with his mind. (Well maybe not the Vegapunk for eating, sleeping, and pooping, that was probably made so he could always be working on his projects, and experiments.)
He looks a lot like his son in this chapter it made me smile
The giants, and their prince are definitely insanely powerful.
Big mom wanted to have them in her army, she even tried to fool them by marrying off the wrong daughter.
Had they not been so strong, she'd simply enslave them. They were strong enough to keep her at bay.
I could see usopp being the one to fight Loki, in some sort of lie battle,
where he would come out victorious, and be declared the greatest warrior on the sea by the giants.
It seems like every single time I watch a Grand Line Review video, I am literally always in the middle of working on something, organizing, cleaning or doing something else routine focused..
Here's my defence of the Vivre Cards being "inaccurate".
Assuming Oda already knows he wants to do certain changes in the future, if he tells the publishers such secrets, it'll eventually get leaked like the week early spoilers which is a shame. If only there was a Disney ironclad rule of "spill the beans and we'll be sueing you until your next life"....
Oda wants to surprise us so he obviously won't reveal some things.
Love how Dogflamingo is getting his own cover story
Brook as the most saddest back sailing with your dead crew for 50 years man
1:06 lol dragon just the throw his buddy in jail what a guy
I've always liked the idea of The Straw Hat pirates and Red Hair pirates having a Davy-Back fight over a poneglyph. It's such a goofy idea that was presented by such a non serious character, I'd love to see how the One Piece world reacts to two emperors having a Davy-Back fight
I think the older design of vegapunk is actually shaka , shaka looks like vegapunk in he’s younger years before the fruit destroyed his body due to information overload
i am generally enjoying dogflamingos journey to Scotland even if it is an ad for your sponsorship lol i love it
Brook for sure. Even worse than loosing your nakama is to leave alone on a wondering ship for all these years. Makes you wonder how he is possible to keep his sanity in place
I feel so called out everytime you mention that this is my cleaning-time listen and yet…it’s just so good for it😅
Robin and Franky's stories played perfectly side by side in Water 7/Enies Lobby back in the day, what with the whole morale conundrum of if existing is a crime. Who's to say that couldn't be happening again in the current arc? Doesn't necessarily have to focus on either one of them
I love the parallels with Dr. Vegapunk and Star Trek’s Noonien Soong, creator of Data. Genius scientist who is only seen at the end of his life, with fingers in plot pie and juicy plot fruit drops before his exit.
“Basically anyone is in this competition except zero and usopp” I don’t think that’s entirely true because zero still had the whole friend falling down the stairs thing
I was thinking more like Utgard Loki. An entirely different Loki who is a giant that plays some tricks on Thor and Loki that would perfectly fit into a Davyback style fight.
I like a bit of OnePiece content along with Donquixoce Dogflamingo’s adventures
Ha!! Jokes on you Liam. I haven't even start cleaning!!
Brook's back story is most depressing by far, imagine watching your whole crew die in front of your eyes but have to live with their rotting corpses all around him, not truly be able to let go, wishing and imagining times with them when they are lying beside him for whole 50 years. Imagine Staying alone in darkness with no one to talk to, nothing to do, drifting aimlessly, unable to die for 50 whole years only in hopes of meeting laboon one day.
The cover imagine of chapter 836 is kinda interesting. Aokiji and his penguin are reading the newspaper, and in the background we see large mountains, fir trees and a log cabin. The terrain and architecture looks similar to what we've previously seen, so it could indicate that Aokiji has visited Saul on Elbaf
Saddest backstory for me is brooks. All his friends/family died while he was doomed to be alone for decades.
the tattoo came from Garp's stomp (shoes have the same pattern)
