      Brook probably wont ever have epic backstory - cause skeletons doesnt hav... wait, no. Cause he doesnt need one. His age, combined with his flashback is all we need. It helps to get him into even field with other young strawhats, cause being old and having a lot of events in past would separate him and diffirentiate him from the rest, who are still young to the reader.

    Nami is canonically the o ly character that can literally feel the weather changing and tell whats going to happen and the general area it'll pop up too. She was also the only one to get a sickness from little garden, which was a sickness that was around hundreds of years ago, and people dont really catch it anymore due to antibodies. Pre-timeskip one piece hinted at nami being a person from the past and that some how popped up that day when she was found and taken in by her found family.

    I feel the reason I don't think a Nami origin would work is because she was a _baby_ when Nojiko & Bellemere found her. The idea that Nami's parents killed Nojiko's does have potential, but it's one of those "don't stir the pot" plots.
    I agree, it's probably better left unstated. If Oda wants to release the script after One Piece is done, I'll check it out, but I don't need it.

  • @ponchopponcho
    @ponchopponcho 3 месяца назад +2

    What's neat to me is the way Nami detects and predicts the weather by feeling it with her senses. It's very similar to those who have hyper sensitivity in their sensory organs, I myself can feel pressure changes in the air with my skin, I can smell rain a day before it happens. That kinda stuff.
    If a really big storm is coming, it makes my major joints ache, like I was an old person with a bad knee or whatnot.

    Huh, Nami's parents being the people who burnt down the kingdom and killed Nojiko's parents and everyone else would've been the exact type of gut punch revelation that I think Oda tries to avoid. I could sort of see that kind of 'in hindsight' twist burying the characters like he said it would because it wouldn't really be addressable in Oda style.
    They're all on the Grandline, Nojiko's all the way back in East Blue... Unless they took a trip back over there then it would just be something that Nami would have festering inside her likely without any firm conclusion by the end of the movie.
    And since Shiki didn't initially have the Float-Float Fruit in the first place I don't think 'return to east blue' was in the script there either.

      " I think Oda tries to avoid" What? Odas second name could be "Ugh... Right in the feelings" for all i care, dude uses hard drama from the start of the series and become incredibly sadistic with it after timeskip.
      This is why i think this theory is bs. If Oda really wanted Namis backstory to be even more tragic - there is no way he wouldnt do it. This theory makes sense only if Oda plans to reveal it further, to change Nami in some way. But theory itself says Oda wont reveal it, so it counters itself.

    Nami's backstory beyond what we already know is not something I need, but I also wouldn't be opposed to seeing her full backstory AFTER the main story is completed (along with any other important characters whose backstories have been left partially, or completely, blank). We have enough of her backstory to understand and connect to her as a character already, so anything else is more like expanded lore, and not really completely necessary to the story itself reaching a satisfying conclusion.

    Also, Nami doesn’t have a family name even though she was adopted by Bellemere. To me that has always indicated that we will find out more about her biological parents.

    I do kind of feel robbed of not knowing Nami's full story but oh well. I'm a little shocked to hear Strong World isn't well loved as it was my favorite One Piece film by far until Red came out and blew everything else away. Z, Gold and Stampede are all fine but Strong World just felt like a proper One Piece story because Oda wrote it. I struggle to see anything topping Red at this point though; holy shit was Uta's story so good.

    It is still possible that we'll see that backstory someday. After all we assumed Sanji didn't care about his family either until it was written into the story. But it is also possible that her story was simply given to another character instead. I doubt we'll ever know for sure but one thing we can count on is that there will be more tears down the line whether her full story is explained or not.

But I think it's unlikely we'll get a real backstory for her this late in the story.

We don’t want a Star Wars situation where everyone is somehow connected to each other or to some crazy legendary pirate crew. It would make the world of One Piece seem smaller. He might someday give her backstory in an SBS like he did for Zoro and that would be good enough for me.

  • @tommcburney301

    GLR. I have a theory about Nami's homeland, Oykot. Being a island of Witches 🧹🧙‍♀️ who specialize in weather phenomenon. Plus, Nami being a part of it's royalty.
    Evidence:
    • Cocoyashi Village labelled Nami as a Witch. Even by Nojiko.
    • Manga covers have hinted Nami's supposed royalty. Like with the 'Queen is Franky's Father.' theory.
    • Nami could have British connections. As she was used a lot during the Wholecake Island arc. Because I think that the Big Mom pirates are based off the British Royal Victorian family pre WW1. Plus, the Island itself was based around fairy tales. And the witch hunts are from Britain. I know this because I'm both British, and a history lover.
    • Pre time skip, while Nami was on Weatheria. There was no women among it's population. Plus, there is no known history about the sky island's origin. Maybe it came from the East Blue. And possibly, if the women from their were enslaved or killed. Just like in the witch hunts.

It gives us an opportunity to explore the red haired pirates and the post credit scene could've been showing luffy fighting kaido on the rooftop showing that this is what shanks was doing and showed up to wano to tell luffy about Uta.

    We got 2 levels of Sanji backstory, one for the time he joined Zeff and another for his time with his family. But by the time Sanji joined Zeff he was a bigger boy, while Nami was adopted as a baby. There is not much she could do before that.
    We do have some room to dive deeper into Brook and Jimbei's backstories, which I would like to see more of. Maybe even Franky.

  • @MoostachedSaiyanPrince
    @MoostachedSaiyanPrince 3 месяца назад

    If I had to speculate, I'd say that maybe Oda planned to make Shiki Nami's father, and her mother left Shiki while she was pregnant with Nami because of some scheme she discovered that Shiki had cooked up using her and/or Nami due to some connection they (or their bloodline) had to this crystal ship. She tried to hide from Shiki in the East Blue, but Shiki pursued her, killed her when he found her in the Oykot Kingdom, but caused a lot of collateral damage in the process. Maybe since this was arlund the time of Roger's execution, you can maybe have Shanks there at the time, and have the two clash in addition having a lot marines being massacred in the crossfire. Which cpuld explain Bellamare's losing her will to live as a marine and pursue justice, as she would have just seen two of the strongest pirates in the world wipe our a town just from fighting one another. Like, imagine how an average marine would feel if they'd personally witnessed the fight betwen Luffy and Kaido. Maybe Nojiko would be dragged back into the story and this knowledge that Nami's birth family were the reason Nojiko's birth family died would have created a rift between them in the story (as Nojiko is actually old enough that she might remember her original parents and actually still love them and mourn their loss), and this would lead to Nami being put in an even more hopeless and depressing position than she was in Strong World, as she would now believe her sister hates her, or if Nojiko isn't there, Nami would at least believe that Nojiko has reason to hate her. She would know that the blood of one of the world's worst pirates runs through her, which would also mess with her head because of her initial hatred of pirates. And she would believe that the only way she can protect her friends is to abandon them and go along with whatever Shiki wants.

    I think we should at least know who her parents were. Lineage is important in stories because it plays an important role in the character, whether they care or not. Ex. Zorro's swordskills, Chopper being a reindeer, Sanji's personality and fighting skills, Robin's knowledge, Luffy being Luffy, etc. Nami had to have been predisposed to the ability to know the weather other than Bellimare, somehow teaching her about it along with marine navigation and map drawing. So, unless Oda says she learned it all from her adopted mother, we won't know who Nami really is until he at least gives us the reason for the destruction of her birthplace like he did Robin's or gives her parents names and classes.

    However, I still hold the position that forced death, or any forced drama does not make a good storytelling, it's just creates false pathos, and I get the impression that Oda feels the same. One Piece is known for how few deaths occur, but all of them are earned and meaningful.
