I love how this panel is legit just Shaka telling Stella the upcoming plot of the Egghead Arc. It's like Manga readers telling anime only what to expect lol
The panel right before that is also golden, all the good aspects of vegapunk have eyes popping out (yes including Shaka, the one satellite without visible eyes), all after reading the note to basically off themselves LMAO
@@TheGreatPewpyOne "Only a fool lets his greed run amok, and I personified mine!" Is the quote. As in, he split himself into different parts, one part being his greed, and that was dumb
When the flashback was revealing the scope of Vegapunk's plan, I couldn't help but think back to Whole Cake Island when Brook was facing off against Big Mom and he dropped probably his hardest line in the series: "What kind of fool... would ever *plan* to die?!"
Honestly this turned out to be robins arc more than anything. But I think it was intentionally supposed to be surrounding the main 5 characters going into the east blue. Sanji got his arc in wci and zoro in wano so I’m guessing Ussop will get his development in Elbalf in a similar manner. Afterwards it’ll be nami then luffy but that’s just my guess.
My favorite part of the chapter was the line where Shaka says “what constitutes death for someone like us?” and the way that it’s worded makes me feel like it was kind of a collective Vegapunk hivemind thought “Someone like us, Us 7 who collectively are Dr. Vegapunk.”
I think Sanji's role as the calm head of the Straw Hats is heavily underappreciated. When women aren't involved, and while Jinbe is the more wise advisor on the crew now, Sanji's quick wit and tendency to listen and calm non-crew members has come in clutch so much. Edit: I think “calm head” was probably the wrong words for it. I think the right word for what I mean is ”diplomat”.
@@darkdraconisI think he is more emotional / empathetic with other characters and that is why he was the one to hear vegapunks final words / wishes. Sanji is the only one of his cyborg family with emotions, so I feel like (from a literary view) it makes sense for vegapunk to confide in him in his final moments. But I agree that calm may not be the right descriptor for sanji, he is the most emotionally aware while keeping his head on straight. If it were zoro he wouldn’t second guess vegapunks intentions and just respect his wishes to pass on in that moment knowing he probably has a bigger reason as to why.
In certain situations (usually when Zoro is busy sword-battling), like him impersonating Crocodile via transponder snail, catching the Sea Train to save Robin and opening the Gates of Justice to escape Enies Lobby.

I see Lilith and Shaka as Chaotic and Lawful respectively, in D&D terms. I'd say Lilith is called evil because he doesn't care about the rules, completely opposite of Shaka.
I don't think Lilith is the literal personification of "evil" but of the evil in Vegapunk's personality. And as a man with a good heart his "evil" just isn't that evil.
@@jtthomas7349 In my opinion Lilith represents aggression, which can be violent but not evil. Vegapunk could mistakenly believe that violence in itself is evil which its not. It's the intent that makes something evil.
I really hope the Giants will use the time on the sea to explain to Luffy who Sungod Nika is and why they call him that because Luffy has been super confused for most of the final stretch and just vibing with whatever danger was most imminent. EDIT: YES I KNOW HE ISN'T GOING TO CARE AND IT WON'T CHANGE WHAT HE DOES! To me at least, this is more about him talking with the giants and his crew and especially Bonney so everyone is on the same page what Nika means to them and that he can stop asking "Who is this Nika fellow?" in the future because he asked that several times throughout the arc and never got an answer
@@tobiaswedin I'm not really up to date with this season's anime but very much agree with you! And yes to Luffy himself it wouldn't make much difference in how he approaches things but I feel like we had enough scenarios where he asks for the tenth time "Who is this Nika?" and then nobody answers him. Like please we are overdue for a catch-up!
@@JB-1313 You're not missing out on anything, this must be the worst season of anime in years tbh, where at least two shows are about a 30-something guy op as freaking hell but have a maximum of 1 braincell never questioning his strength believing he is ordinary or weak. Not a single person on the internet is amused, it's pretty much a collective rage fest atm. So Oda should be careful not to tread into "mc not knowing what his powers are" territory. I'm fine with Luffy not caring about Nika or Joy Boy, but he should at least know and be aware of it without the info and its implications going over his head.
I have a feeling we're gonna get an David and Goliath situation with Ussop and another giant in elbaf (perhaps loki??) We know giants settle disputes through battle and Ussop standing up to a giant would be a great way to move him one step closer to his dream
The last time I was this sure we were heading to an exciting island was back in chapter 435, when the next stop was supposed to be Fish-Man Island. But it wasn't until chapter 607 that we actually laid eyes on it-172 chapters later. I'm a bit wary of what kind of twist Oda might throw our way this time! ^^
The fact that Mother flames is now fully controlled by the WG's, and i remember Saturn basically threatened Dorry and Brogy reacting about their sided to luffy, I have a bad feeling that some tragedy gonna happen between Elbaf and WG when we're there.
By having egg head, a very world centric arc before Elbaf allows for the contrast of a vast and global arc before going to the island that is quite isolated allowing for a change of pace.
Im thinking dragon or someone else is about to pull up now. I know everyone is gonna laugh at me for saying this. But this is perfect time for Saturn to be killed by dragon or someone else. I don't hate Saturn but this is a perfect moment for oda to either introduce a new character...or reveal a power level of an old character. Make Saturn the catalyst of showing that power level.
@@ZafoolTV Saturn is unkillable but we also don't know what dragon can do. Dragon most likely would know that the gorosei are immortal, so he wouldn't stupidly start a war against them without having a card up his sleeve.
I can see that last panel being the next bounty picture for Usopp, with a withered Luffy in the background. Almost the perfect parallel to Luffy's first bounty picture where Usopp was in the background, now God Usopp is in the foreground, standing in the palm of Giant warrior pirates escaping from his second Buster call with his life. I can't imagine a Bounty picture that yells "Brave warrior of the sea" any more.
Get ready for dozens of chapters that would world build and expand lore about Elbaf, kingdom of the Giants and why they worship the Sun God that Gear 5 Luffy appear as.
Reminds me of Sanji’s moment with Zoro in Thriller Bark. The fans are always at each other’s necks but Sanji and Zoro always seem to have each others back the end of the day.
I mean....he didn't carry out any request. Lol. He refused up until the last second (seriously, Vegapunk tried to get Sanji to abandon him at LEAST 3 times.), and even after he got his body back after Kizaru lasered Vegapunk, he was still trying to keep him alive. Sanhi failed in what he set out to do, he just understands that Vegapunk wanted it that way.
Man, as much as I want to hope that Elbaf is going to be to Ussop what Whole Cake was to Sanji, the Post-Time Skip Era has consistently sent every Straw Hat that isn't the Monster Trio or Robin to the sidelines. The most we can expect nowadays from characters like Brook, Nami, Chooper, Franky or Ussop is 1 or 2 chapters where they have some cool moment or fight scene only to then spend the rest of the arc in the background.
Being an old fan and enjoying the Bingo sections, I really appreciate the fact that you haven't swept Egghead's Bingo table under the rug, even though it has gone terribly wrong. It really shows your appreciation and honesty to your audience. Kudos!
12:05 Wow. "Trusting in the Power of Death" was such a great way of phrasing that. Roger, Whitebeard, Vegapunk, Oden, Ace, Dr. Hiriluk, so many characters that pertain to that concept. Awesome.
You know, thinking back about Little Garden in relation to Elbaf, I wonder if it's where we gonna reunite with Vivi after all. Also I wonder what CrossGuild gonna do as well, considering Crocodillé (and Mr. 3 especially) was the antagonist of that saga
Maybe it was like Snape and Dumbledore in Harry Potter. Vegapunk knew he was going to get killed, so he secretly contacted Kizaru to make sure he was the one to do it.
this chapter felt long and i give it a 10, hot take but this chapter gave me a roller coaster of emotion, starting with glee as the straw hats escape with astonishment on joyboys haki defeating 100% of the enemy, then we switch to a touching short panels of joyboy thanking the robot , and oda even made it look like there's a tear in its eye, makingus reader feel that emotional feeling as he hears joyboy almost saying that his effort was not in vain, then after that sad panel,sudden silence for the mystery, which we already knew, but oda filled us with the void and the timeline was really on point, and as we are on the thrilling detective mode we came into that cliffhanger of what was sanji was referring to, and as sanji was always protrayed, always in cahoots with reconnaissance and secret missions, thus he carried this secret mission well.then drama continues until vegapunk pulled off the lightyagami "RELEASE" card.Then that floor rolling comedy when vp woke up on this million "WHAAATS!?!?" DAMN ODA! Peak fiction! ending the chapter with only lufft chopper and ussop. and no break. this chapter is unbelivable.
most interesting that VP confessed his death wish to Sanji specifically. The character (pre whole cake) known for not valueing his own life enough, always playing with the thought of sacrificing himself for the group. No wonder it doesn't sit right with him.
I look forward for the full debut of Prince Loki who wanted to marry Lola but she ran away instead, and his royal family ruling Elbaf. Most likely King Odin, Queen Frigga and Prince Thor.
I think you mean Prince Odin, Loki and Odin are sworn brothers. (Marvel Comics has confused everyone on their relationship) But I also doubt we'll have another character named "Oden"
In my rather optimistic point of view, Dragon seemingly looks passive maybe because he's right now charging his Conqueror Haki close to Joyboy as the typical Father figure of shonen MC which often has sick moves
I've really come around to Vegapunk. I just couldn't see how he could be so easily fooled by York, but he actually had all the measurements taken before we even got to egghead
Vegapink confiding in Sanji and letting the readers know but not the characters in media res only pushes his Mr. Prince act as canonically important. Sanji will be crucial in the final arc, where he will do something important that will help the Strawhats in the backend. Calling it now.
So you want Luffy and the gang go fight the Old monsters who are somehow immortal? Afterall there's a definite possibility that Saturn could summon them again.
The start of this video is very interesting 'The Single biggest island in the entire world' and made me think how did the Giants of the void century escaped the first 'Great Flood'. It is now clear that fishman island constructed Noah to transport the merfolk & fishman off there island and either there island was sunken anyway so they didn't get a chance to use it or they evacuated on Noah and brought it down to depths with them? but how did the Giants achieve this? Did they also build a massive fleet? Or is did they retreat to the highest point of their original land or is there original land is so massive that the rising tide didn't have the same affect it did have on the world I.e. they never lost there history? As Elbaf is Fable backwards and of course Fable is a word famously coined from Aaesop's Fables (sidenote like Ussop, Aaesopp is often depicted as being of African descent) I believe Elbaf may have a rendition of a fictional story likely in relation to the Sun god Nika that will explain civilisation prior to the void century and then somewhat vaguely explain what happened during the void century through the eyes of the Giants a story that story that made the giants want to keep themselves isolated from the world. We will still need Imu or Joy's boys memories to actually showcase the details that explain the fables of Elbaf. But that's just my theory 😅 great video
Haki is weaponized willpower. As it is made of a person’s will, it shouldn’t be farfetched for Joyboy to command his haki to “only attack enemies of Emeth” once unleashed. Also, it’s actually 5head of Oda to show that no matter how strong Shank’s haki is, he still doesn’t have full control over it since his crewmates are still affected by it, thus making Joyboy the better user.
11:00 Funny you saying this because, though I don't have any bias in either direction for Kizaru, I've been expecting Oda to turn him into a Professor Snape type villain. Kills the lovable old man because he was asked to
I sometimes wonder if Luffy hatched from the egg on Gol D Rogers' ship, and the thing Roger's found on Laugh Tale was a note that said, "If you're here because of the egg, you're too early. It needs to hatch and grow first, so come back in twenty years." Something like that.
I like the idea that if the one piece is some powerfull object to change the world that all of the big powers are trying to get. That Luffy will find it not like it and break because it tells him what to do. Luffy just wants to find it and didn't care if it was fake or not.
Hey Liam, thanks for appreciating Sanji . He has done so much in this arc but people don’t seem to notice that, you however did, I really like how you get into the emotions of one piece. Thank you for being one of those who genuinely understand one piece for what it is :)
theory: Man marked by flames is Jaguar D Saul. He probably got burn scars from the fire on ohara or aokiji's ice. Plus when we see his silhouette on elbaf we know he' got lots of bandages on him. Also he probably learnt to much from the scholar's information and in the books they found.
While York's fate remains unknown at the moment, I do wonder if she'll figure out how her father was able to do all of that setup without letting her know. If so, then this could make the Elders view her as a liability instead of an asset worth keeping, while also making the Mother Flame a little less reliable than they thought.
Id like the little detail that whenever the sea around egghead to be illustrated there's this Seadramon just chilling in the background, sick thumbnail tho!
Let me put it this way, with how hyped up it is I'd be super shocked for Oda NOT to have a conflict here. Whether it's some rogue giant or Big Mom shows up something's going to down there.
That shocking Egghead incident is still yet to happen, and I feel like it could be the death of Saturn, possibly at the hands of Kizaru as kind of a resignation letter. Luffy and co would get blamed for it, amping up their notoriety, and Kizaru would complete the trifecta of Admirals aligning with the three major factions of the story--Kuzan siding with pirates, Sakazuki obviously being the side of the Marines, and Kizaru siding with Vegapunk and, by that extension, with the Revolutionary Army.
Egghead does have that classic "Man of Science, Man of Faith" storyline that was made famous by Lost. Kuma started as the Man of Faith and ultimately left his life up to science, Vegapunk started as the Man of Science and ultimately left his death to faith. Their paths crossed, their ideas clashed, and ultimately they changed each other more than they realized
I'm just gonna throw this out there: I don't think Elbaf will be "Usopp's arc" in the way people hope, in fact I don't think anyone on the crew will grow in a significant way anymore. We've done this time and time again right before every single arc post timeskip and at this point it's kinda clear that other than Luffy the crew wont have anything really meaningful going for them going forth, the focus will lie on the "locals" of each destination and *their* change in the presence of our crew and not the other way around.
yeah cause Zoro didnt even find his family in Wano, Franky didnt get an upgrade in Egg head, I doubt Usopp will get anything major in Elbaf. He hasn't done anything major since G4 was 1st shown so maybe his time is coming.
I love the page of Stella hearing all the arrivals on Egghead from the other 2 and just repeatedly yelling "WHAAT?!" over and over, had me laughing the rest of the chapter.
I caught up with OP back in 2020 while the raid was just picking up, so 4 years later I've now been around long enough to see an arc start to finish weekly. It truly was peak and I'm excited for me reread. I'm sure we got a few more chapters that'll be considered apart of the arc, but now we're basically done :)
0:05 The single biggest island is a tough ask, considering that Alabasta had a vast desert and that Wa No Kuni was vast enough to destroy the Grand Line seasons paradigm and have 4 seasons at once.
Thinking about how Vegapunk initially believed Lilith to be the traitor, purely based on her being the embodiment of his evil, makes me seriously question what specific metric he used to determine that these particular traits of his were evil and needed excising from his personality. Is it a lack of discipline, or respect for authority? Thoughts of sedition? Things that, at face value, appear to be evil but given the right context are not actually evil at all?
Im rewatching the series and im currently at Dressrosa and no doubt doflamingo knew that the world government had Uranus. It only makes me wonder what he wouldve really been able to do or how much did he really know?
@kennoybrown3946 that's what I'm thinking, he most likely knew of the 5 elders. Idk about Imu and he most likely knew very little if anything about the void century. But he knew a lot about the world lol
It's arc transition time! Really excited to see what Elbaf holds! Also, maybe it was just me, but I kind of assumed that Dr. Vegapunk "Stella", Saka, and Pythagoras recorded Vegapunk's final message earlier than just 2 days before the "Egghead Incident". Not sure why, though. I also though Vegapunk messing around with Emet when Luffy meets him was Vegapunk placing the Transponder Snail that broadcast his final message within him, but apparently he did that earlier. Here I thought Luffy finding Vegapunk partially within the Iron Giant was clever foreshadowing, but I guess it was just coincidence. I'm also kind of intrigued as to why Shaka and Pythagoras specifically had alibis for not being the one who betrayed everyone, but I guess that's not important now.
Grandlinereview, watching this video gave me an idea as to what the ancient kingdom may have been. Joyboy was a boy that lived in a town with normal folk (they could have been scientists or perhaps a different race) but bored he travelled the world on a ship and met a lot of other creatures. See, before Joyboy other people didn’t know about the existence of other races. Uniting all races and all people strengthens you because you ultimately gain knowledge and skills from different races and cultures. The kingdoms did not like the fact someone was coming to their island like Luffy does and back then it was Joyboy and they would break their slavery and injustice . All these kingdoms were being defeated by Joyboy one by one because he would add people to his crew as he went and he kept fighting for justice. The ancient kingdom was the kingdom for ‘pirates’ or really warriors of liberation that had been freed by Joyboy. Here you could live with other races with no discrimination or slavery. Everyone had the same rights, but this is why the ancient kingdom was scary. They had fishman, they had all the races there, and they started creating advanced technology. Once the stronger kingdoms started noticing they were under threat of being defeated and having their people who were slaves or very poor being freed then they created the world government with all these other countries that Joyboy had defeated and the ones he hadn’t . Whether the promise that Joyboy made was to take the whole of the fishman to his kingdom I don’t know, but seems likely. Could it be the ancient kingdom is so big that everyone and I mean everyone in the one piece verse could live there.. I mean imagine a country where everyone is together, United, but also dangerous. Joyboy probably planned on taking fishman and other species to ancient kingdom. GAP/EVIDENCE - What races are still alive in big numbers? Fishman who never managed to get to the ancient kingdom. Zou folk who probably got rescued by Zunisha last minute before they annihilated all of the other races in the island. That’s why Zunisha is sorry because he couldn’t have saved more people as to why he has to keep walking it’s simply because he won’t stop until the Zou folk don’t have to be hunted by Imu anymore. I mean most if not all buccaneers that are known to public are dead, and most of the other races like lunarians etc are on their last legs. They all died either by being hunted and persecuted and fighting for Joyboy. See before their power alone was not scary enough to warrant them being slaughtered but all their powers together? Jesus that’s scary. Obviously I know I didn’t mention the giants but realistically can they be defeated? Not without great cost, and personally shanks is there to fight for elbaf as well. Perhaps elbaf has always had a guardian as well to keep the giants save ? I know they are strong but not shanks level that we know of, but who knows maybe there was another shanks before shanks that kept elbaf safe from the government. The dream is to take everyone to one piece
2:50 This may have just been for the scan I read, but Dory said “that (haki) was greater than red hairs, but it didn’t seem hostile, did it?”. Maybe he just meant that because it didn’t reach them it wasn’t hostile, but when I read it and saw all the marines down, I took it as, the haki was somehow able to seek out ill intentions, and all the marines and their associate, who were specifically there to kill Vegapunk and the strawhats had bad intentions, where as the strawhats and the giants and everyone only had intentions to save people and escape, so the haki didn’t target them.

The fact that Mother flames is now fully controlled by the WG's, and i remember Saturn basically threatened Dorry and Brogy reacting about their sided to luffy, I have a bad feeling that some tragedy gonna happen between Elbaf and WG when we're there.
Wasn’t egghead the twist island? I don’t think you can have a twist island to a twist island
@@ZeeshanAli-di2qp end of chapter says "thinking two steps ahead" so idk man. Seems like there is two things before going to elbaf
Egghead was the twist lol.
By having egg head, a very world centric arc before Elbaf allows for the contrast of a vast and global arc before going to the island that is quite isolated allowing for a change of pace.
So egghead is ending, but that asks the question: What happened to our incredibly beloved spider/ old man hybrid?
Im thinking dragon or someone else is about to pull up now. I know everyone is gonna laugh at me for saying this. But this is perfect time for Saturn to be killed by dragon or someone else.
I don't hate Saturn but this is a perfect moment for oda to either introduce a new character...or reveal a power level of an old character. Make Saturn the catalyst of showing that power level.
@@307nishchay8that would also make sense with Devon taking his appearance
@@307nishchay8 Saturn is unkillable except if BB uses Yami Yami no mi
@@ZafoolTV Saturn is unkillable but we also don't know what dragon can do.
Dragon most likely would know that the gorosei are immortal, so he wouldn't stupidly start a war against them without having a card up his sleeve.
@@307nishchay8Dragon will appear in the same way he appeared first time, saving rufy life from someone
I can see that last panel being the next bounty picture for Usopp, with a withered Luffy in the background. Almost the perfect parallel to Luffy's first bounty picture where Usopp was in the background, now God Usopp is in the foreground, standing in the palm of Giant warrior pirates escaping from his second Buster call with his life. I can't imagine a Bounty picture that yells "Brave warrior of the sea" any more.
Get ready for dozens of chapters that would world build and expand lore about Elbaf, kingdom of the Giants and why they worship the Sun God that Gear 5 Luffy appear as.
0:09 he haseth blessed us
Franky's ass will never not be a blessing.
He haseth
Shakespeare when he sees Shakesass
You mean hath?
Lord forgive me for what I'm about to do 😩🥵💦
Favorite panel from this chapter was on page 2. In the bottom left panel it looks like a Yamcha tribute with the marine laying on the ground KO’d
Everyone: *celebrating that they got off egghead* 😁😁😁
Sanji: *living with the pain of carrying out Vegapunks final request* ☻
Reminds me of Sanji’s moment with Zoro in Thriller Bark. The fans are always at each other’s necks but Sanji and Zoro always seem to have each others back the end of the day.
I mean....he didn't carry out any request. Lol. He refused up until the last second (seriously, Vegapunk tried to get Sanji to abandon him at LEAST 3 times.), and even after he got his body back after Kizaru lasered Vegapunk, he was still trying to keep him alive.
Sanhi failed in what he set out to do, he just understands that Vegapunk wanted it that way.
Ussop's arc is here!
That noted the Robin/Saul reunion is gonna be great.
This was suppose to be Frankys arc yet he did nothing so....
Wano was meant to be Zoro's arc...
@@NoName......Yeah and he got a fuck ton of powerups
Man, as much as I want to hope that Elbaf is going to be to Ussop what Whole Cake was to Sanji, the Post-Time Skip Era has consistently sent every Straw Hat that isn't the Monster Trio or Robin to the sidelines.
The most we can expect nowadays from characters like Brook, Nami, Chooper, Franky or Ussop is 1 or 2 chapters where they have some cool moment or fight scene only to then spend the rest of the arc in the background.
Just like Franky's arc just ended.. Oh wait..
Being an old fan and enjoying the Bingo sections, I really appreciate the fact that you haven't swept Egghead's Bingo table under the rug, even though it has gone terribly wrong. It really shows your appreciation and honesty to your audience. Kudos!
12:05 Wow. "Trusting in the Power of Death" was such a great way of phrasing that. Roger, Whitebeard, Vegapunk, Oden, Ace, Dr. Hiriluk, so many characters that pertain to that concept. Awesome.
You know, thinking back about Little Garden in relation to Elbaf, I wonder if it's where we gonna reunite with Vivi after all. Also I wonder what CrossGuild gonna do as well, considering Crocodillé (and Mr. 3 especially) was the antagonist of that saga
Maybe it was like Snape and Dumbledore in Harry Potter. Vegapunk knew he was going to get killed, so he secretly contacted Kizaru to make sure he was the one to do it.
12:06 whitebeard too, with his dyeing breath, he kept it going
this chapter felt long and i give it a 10, hot take but this chapter gave me a roller coaster of emotion, starting with glee as the straw hats escape with astonishment on joyboys haki defeating 100% of the enemy, then we switch to a touching short panels of joyboy thanking the robot , and oda even made it look like there's a tear in its eye, makingus reader feel that emotional feeling as he hears joyboy almost saying that his effort was not in vain, then after that sad panel,sudden silence for the mystery, which we already knew, but oda filled us with the void and the timeline was really on point, and as we are on the thrilling detective mode we came into that cliffhanger of what was sanji was referring to, and as sanji was always protrayed, always in cahoots with reconnaissance and secret missions, thus he carried this secret mission well.then drama continues until vegapunk pulled off the lightyagami "RELEASE" card.Then that floor rolling comedy when vp woke up on this million "WHAAATS!?!?" DAMN ODA! Peak fiction! ending the chapter with only lufft chopper and ussop. and no break. this chapter is unbelivable.
most interesting that VP confessed his death wish to Sanji specifically. The character (pre whole cake) known for not valueing his own life enough, always playing with the thought of sacrificing himself for the group. No wonder it doesn't sit right with him.
Could that be a foreshadowing that Sanji will die for the crew sometime in the future
Are we not gonna mention how S-Snake and probably the rest of the seraphim stayed on the island and were not affected by the Haki?
they are robots my guy
They were also in those sea stone bubbles.
@@DR9Y they aren't really robots dude...they may have metal parts parts but they arent fully metal robots.
The Monster Trio have faced Elders and an Admiral AND Frankie out here fighting VICE ADMIRALS…..I smell new BOUNTIES💰💰💰💰💰
I look forward for the full debut of Prince Loki who wanted to marry Lola but she ran away instead, and his royal family ruling Elbaf.
Most likely King Odin, Queen Frigga and Prince Thor.
I fully believe we need to be looking to Utgard Loki, not the other Loki
I think you mean Prince Odin, Loki and Odin are sworn brothers. (Marvel Comics has confused everyone on their relationship) But I also doubt we'll have another character named "Oden"
@@SpeedwagonZaidan maybe Oda is going with Wotan, the germanic Version of Odin
Him suspecting Lilith was funny as hell. It's also funny that she is the only survivor besides York (who I doubt is going to stay alive)
Egghead has been 10 times better than Wano.
This arc will go down as one of the best in the series.
Wano got boring. it feels like strawhat crew just invaded a different anime and save their own town.
The end of Egghead means we need to do the final Egghead Bingo check, too.
It's not hugely different from when we started >_>
In my rather optimistic point of view, Dragon seemingly looks passive maybe because he's right now charging his Conqueror Haki close to Joyboy as the typical Father figure of shonen MC which often has sick moves
It’s not an iPhone
3:20 oh Liam i see what you did there before the AD and you put it in an awesome way few will get it!
The moment he started talking about dragon I knew there is an add coming 😂
I've really come around to Vegapunk. I just couldn't see how he could be so easily fooled by York, but he actually had all the measurements taken before we even got to egghead
I wonder if anything else was told to Sanji by Stella... And what else Stella wrote to himself..
9:10 "All luffy is is one big vibe check"
Vegapink confiding in Sanji and letting the readers know but not the characters in media res only pushes his Mr. Prince act as canonically important. Sanji will be crucial in the final arc, where he will do something important that will help the Strawhats in the backend. Calling it now.
So we are leaving egghead with mother flame and punk records in WG's hands. Cant say this is the end of this arc. Too many things are unattended.
They'll explode or sm shie
So you want Luffy and the gang go fight the Old monsters who are somehow immortal? Afterall there's a definite possibility that Saturn could summon them again.
or it could just be set-up for a 'darkest day' type of moment.
And black beard is also going to know about the ancient weapons
The strawhats lost, shit happens
The start of this video is very interesting 'The Single biggest island in the entire world' and made me think how did the Giants of the void century escaped the first 'Great Flood'. It is now clear that fishman island constructed Noah to transport the merfolk & fishman off there island and either there island was sunken anyway so they didn't get a chance to use it or they evacuated on Noah and brought it down to depths with them? but how did the Giants achieve this? Did they also build a massive fleet? Or is did they retreat to the highest point of their original land or is there original land is so massive that the rising tide didn't have the same affect it did have on the world I.e. they never lost there history?
As Elbaf is Fable backwards and of course Fable is a word famously coined from Aaesop's Fables (sidenote like Ussop, Aaesopp is often depicted as being of African descent) I believe Elbaf may have a rendition of a fictional story likely in relation to the Sun god Nika that will explain civilisation prior to the void century and then somewhat vaguely explain what happened during the void century through the eyes of the Giants a story that story that made the giants want to keep themselves isolated from the world. We will still need Imu or Joy's boys memories to actually showcase the details that explain the fables of Elbaf.
But that's just my theory 😅 great video
Haki is weaponized willpower. As it is made of a person’s will, it shouldn’t be farfetched for Joyboy to command his haki to “only attack enemies of Emeth” once unleashed.
Also, it’s actually 5head of Oda to show that no matter how strong Shank’s haki is, he still doesn’t have full control over it since his crewmates are still affected by it, thus making Joyboy the better user.
Can’t wait for the joyboy haki to be animated. That sound design is going to be wild
I feel like vegapunk felt so comfortable with sanji bcuz he's judge's son, so it's like he's talking to his former friend.
If Shanks and Luffy don't have a "Conqueror’s Greeting" like Roger and Whitebeard did, I'm finna be mad.
That plug in was smooth af. and i also wonder when vp decided that straw hats were good enough to find the op
Probably because of Luffy, he is a D., Joyboy reincarnation/Nika fruit user which Vegapunk is also aware of.
I'd argue that he didn't only confide in Sanji, but also Franky since Franky was directly behind Vegapunk during that conversation.
The cloud technology he was talking about will really be a game changer in the end maybe for fishman
6:23 why did York eat a mudkip😭
😢 RIP little mudkip
Lol. I just saw that
At least ik i wasnt trippin when i thought i saw mudkip😭🤣
We heard he liek'd Mudkip, now we know.
Going back and seeing Sanji give the same smile he gave before Zou makes sense... He was lying to Bonnie.
11:00 Funny you saying this because, though I don't have any bias in either direction for Kizaru, I've been expecting Oda to turn him into a Professor Snape type villain. Kills the lovable old man because he was asked to
I sometimes wonder if Luffy hatched from the egg on Gol D Rogers' ship, and the thing Roger's found on Laugh Tale was a note that said, "If you're here because of the egg, you're too early. It needs to hatch and grow first, so come back in twenty years." Something like that.
So whats dragon supposed to be then?
@@Acoustic_Screechersomeone who discovered the egg?
@@Acoustic_Screecher How about a literal dragon?
@@AnonymousEnigma19 ig thats a good guess
@@Soitisisit idk, are there any mythological dragons known for their ability to control the weather?
Dude I loved playing Dragon City like 12 years ago. It amazes me that it's sponsoring YT videos now
Enel better come back in elbaf
I cant wait for the whole arc to be animated, glad it was finished im bout to re read it again
Also, I always just figured his full name was Dr. Stella Vegapunk.
That would make sense.
That transition into the dragon city promo was smooth AF. Well played man on the internet well played.
I like the idea that if the one piece is some powerfull object to change the world that all of the big powers are trying to get. That Luffy will find it not like it and break because it tells him what to do. Luffy just wants to find it and didn't care if it was fake or not.
Hey Liam, thanks for appreciating Sanji . He has done so much in this arc but people don’t seem to notice that, you however did, I really like how you get into the emotions of one piece. Thank you for being one of those who genuinely understand one piece for what it is :)
theory: Man marked by flames is Jaguar D Saul. He probably got burn scars from the fire on ohara or aokiji's ice. Plus when we see his silhouette on elbaf we know he' got lots of bandages on him. Also he probably learnt to much from the scholar's information and in the books they found.
how is he supposed to take the road poneglyph from fmi?
@@Justin-oq3ngcould take copy like strawhats have
@@StremesJ did you not read fmi? the whole road poneglyph is gone. the burnscar man took the whole cube.
@Justin-oq3ng I mean tbf they're giants so they could lift them onto their huge ships
@@StremesJ yea but are giants actually able to go to fmi? thats the big question :)
While York's fate remains unknown at the moment, I do wonder if she'll figure out how her father was able to do all of that setup without letting her know. If so, then this could make the Elders view her as a liability instead of an asset worth keeping, while also making the Mother Flame a little less reliable than they thought.
Id like the little detail that whenever the sea around egghead to be illustrated there's this Seadramon just chilling in the background, sick thumbnail tho!
It will be a great training arc .. but I feel something isn't right in the land of giants.
Let me put it this way, with how hyped up it is I'd be super shocked for Oda NOT to have a conflict here. Whether it's some rogue giant or Big Mom shows up something's going to down there.
I'm just excited for how Morgans is going to frame this and the world reactions coming
The way you tell stories is amazing!
I loved seeing Vegapunk and the satellites insight, plus finally, at long last 20+ years of waiting, Elbaf awaits!!!
We all know that Usopp will get very little in Elbaf, at most a new hammer if anything at all, and then be overshadowed by more Robin focused stuff.
How do we know?
The same nico Lobin that has done nothing for 30 years? The same shit character that has the least pannel screen ?yeah u are dumb Usopp Is and OG 5
Just trying to show appreciation to whoever draws the characters for your videos cause they’re just so good
My second channel for 30 seconds
Naya naya
I actually didn't stop to think about it, but yeah this has also been my favorite weekly reading experience arc since I caught up in Thriller Bark
That shocking Egghead incident is still yet to happen, and I feel like it could be the death of Saturn, possibly at the hands of Kizaru as kind of a resignation letter. Luffy and co would get blamed for it, amping up their notoriety, and Kizaru would complete the trifecta of Admirals aligning with the three major factions of the story--Kuzan siding with pirates, Sakazuki obviously being the side of the Marines, and Kizaru siding with Vegapunk and, by that extension, with the Revolutionary Army.
Ahmmm... escaping from the gorosei is most likely the 'incident'... not sure though
Or SHC would be framed as the killer of the genius vgp..
I cannot believe we’re finally going! But I can imagine there might be a small sub arc to set up Elbaf.
A whole chapter to confirm that vegapunk is not an idiot seems a bit much.
I really don’t understand why anybody thought Vegapunk was an idiot when the person who betrayed him was basically himself
This chapter shower he was far stupider than we could've imagined.
No rush. Just been counting down the days for 21 years to see them finally arrive on this island. 🐸🍵
Stopping kids from saying first part two
Egghead does have that classic "Man of Science, Man of Faith" storyline that was made famous by Lost. Kuma started as the Man of Faith and ultimately left his life up to science, Vegapunk started as the Man of Science and ultimately left his death to faith. Their paths crossed, their ideas clashed, and ultimately they changed each other more than they realized
The fact that they have lilith with them still gives me hope for Franky getting some Vegapunk upgrades.
I'm just gonna throw this out there: I don't think Elbaf will be "Usopp's arc" in the way people hope, in fact I don't think anyone on the crew will grow in a significant way anymore. We've done this time and time again right before every single arc post timeskip and at this point it's kinda clear that other than Luffy the crew wont have anything really meaningful going for them going forth, the focus will lie on the "locals" of each destination and *their* change in the presence of our crew and not the other way around.
yeah cause Zoro didnt even find his family in Wano, Franky didnt get an upgrade in Egg head, I doubt Usopp will get anything major in Elbaf. He hasn't done anything major since G4 was 1st shown so maybe his time is coming.
I love the page of Stella hearing all the arrivals on Egghead from the other 2 and just repeatedly yelling "WHAAT?!" over and over, had me laughing the rest of the chapter.
I caught up with OP back in 2020 while the raid was just picking up, so 4 years later I've now been around long enough to see an arc start to finish weekly. It truly was peak and I'm excited for me reread. I'm sure we got a few more chapters that'll be considered apart of the arc, but now we're basically done :)
The way you kick with the add was brilliant, really getting better, that was a good one
Just read the scans and was wondering how soon you’d end up posting. Very glad to be this early!
I legit never noticed Elbaf spelled backwards is Fable. Lol.
0:05
The single biggest island is a tough ask, considering that Alabasta had a vast desert and that Wa No Kuni was vast enough to destroy the Grand Line seasons paradigm and have 4 seasons at once.
I still dont think its completely over.
Something big is about to happen in next 3 chapters. And by big, i mean BIG BIG world shaking event.
Those skywhales from Tera in the fish tank bring way too much nostalgia to me
Loved the Pudding and Sanji popsicle stick shipping.
0:09 either GLR or his artist had the idea of making this
Thinking about how Vegapunk initially believed Lilith to be the traitor, purely based on her being the embodiment of his evil, makes me seriously question what specific metric he used to determine that these particular traits of his were evil and needed excising from his personality. Is it a lack of discipline, or respect for authority? Thoughts of sedition? Things that, at face value, appear to be evil but given the right context are not actually evil at all?
Im rewatching the series and im currently at Dressrosa and no doubt doflamingo knew that the world government had Uranus. It only makes me wonder what he wouldve really been able to do or how much did he really know?
I feel like he knew alot
@kennoybrown3946 that's what I'm thinking, he most likely knew of the 5 elders. Idk about Imu and he most likely knew very little if anything about the void century. But he knew a lot about the world lol
These video animations u make are awesome!
It's arc transition time! Really excited to see what Elbaf holds! Also, maybe it was just me, but I kind of assumed that Dr. Vegapunk "Stella", Saka, and Pythagoras recorded Vegapunk's final message earlier than just 2 days before the "Egghead Incident". Not sure why, though. I also though Vegapunk messing around with Emet when Luffy meets him was Vegapunk placing the Transponder Snail that broadcast his final message within him, but apparently he did that earlier. Here I thought Luffy finding Vegapunk partially within the Iron Giant was clever foreshadowing, but I guess it was just coincidence. I'm also kind of intrigued as to why Shaka and Pythagoras specifically had alibis for not being the one who betrayed everyone, but I guess that's not important now.
I wonder if memory erased vegapunk had figured out he may have hidden something there
LMFAO people already said Egghead was a transition arc 😂
Don't make tha same mistake again
@@Cipher_Paul I'm not saying Elbaf will be a transition arc, I'm excited for the transition chapters between arcs.
Grandlinereview, watching this video gave me an idea as to what the ancient kingdom may have been. Joyboy was a boy that lived in a town with normal folk (they could have been scientists or perhaps a different race) but bored he travelled the world on a ship and met a lot of other creatures. See, before Joyboy other people didn’t know about the existence of other races. Uniting all races and all people strengthens you because you ultimately gain knowledge and skills from different races and cultures. The kingdoms did not like the fact someone was coming to their island like Luffy does and back then it was Joyboy and they would break their slavery and injustice . All these kingdoms were being defeated by Joyboy one by one because he would add people to his crew as he went and he kept fighting for justice. The ancient kingdom was the kingdom for ‘pirates’ or really warriors of liberation that had been freed by Joyboy. Here you could live with other races with no discrimination or slavery. Everyone had the same rights, but this is why the ancient kingdom was scary. They had fishman, they had all the races there, and they started creating advanced technology. Once the stronger kingdoms started noticing they were under threat of being defeated and having their people who were slaves or very poor being freed then they created the world government with all these other countries that Joyboy had defeated and the ones he hadn’t . Whether the promise that Joyboy made was to take the whole of the fishman to his kingdom I don’t know, but seems likely. Could it be the ancient kingdom is so big that everyone and I mean everyone in the one piece verse could live there.. I mean imagine a country where everyone is together, United, but also dangerous. Joyboy probably planned on taking fishman and other species to ancient kingdom. GAP/EVIDENCE - What races are still alive in big numbers? Fishman who never managed to get to the ancient kingdom. Zou folk who probably got rescued by Zunisha last minute before they annihilated all of the other races in the island. That’s why Zunisha is sorry because he couldn’t have saved more people as to why he has to keep walking it’s simply because he won’t stop until the Zou folk don’t have to be hunted by Imu anymore. I mean most if not all buccaneers that are known to public are dead, and most of the other races like lunarians etc are on their last legs. They all died either by being hunted and persecuted and fighting for Joyboy. See before their power alone was not scary enough to warrant them being slaughtered but all their powers together? Jesus that’s scary. Obviously I know I didn’t mention the giants but realistically can they be defeated? Not without great cost, and personally shanks is there to fight for elbaf as well. Perhaps elbaf has always had a guardian as well to keep the giants save ? I know they are strong but not shanks level that we know of, but who knows maybe there was another shanks before shanks that kept elbaf safe from the government. The dream is to take everyone to one piece
2:50 This may have just been for the scan I read, but Dory said “that (haki) was greater than red hairs, but it didn’t seem hostile, did it?”.
Maybe he just meant that because it didn’t reach them it wasn’t hostile, but when I read it and saw all the marines down, I took it as, the haki was somehow able to seek out ill intentions, and all the marines and their associate, who were specifically there to kill Vegapunk and the strawhats had bad intentions, where as the strawhats and the giants and everyone only had intentions to save people and escape, so the haki didn’t target them.
The thing that I kind of liked is when they were sailing away from egghead Emmett had a giant x on his back reminding me of alabaster and vivi
No ones talked about how this makes the scene with dragon and vegapunk on the phone so much better and more clear.
