Wow you made a comment 5hr before upload
Zamn
Did you call Raid a Triple A game? ;) Thats funny =D
Fliggle flam 😮🙌
Tell me something that isn't sponsored by that spam.
Also, I like the parallel between Roger's death, WB's death, and Ohara ‘’death’’. Both were intended to be a warning for the world by the WG but both end up having the opposite effect. Roger's death created the grand pirate era and Ohara's death created the grand revolutionary era.
Could even parallel that to Newton's 3rd law of motion or v for vendettas "what was done to me was monstrous!" "And it created a monster"
This makes O’Hara one of the big World Government f ups behind Rogers Execution, The Paramount war, and the attempted assassination of Luffy which lead to joy boy.
@@aadhikannan1481 Now to wonder how Lulusia's destruction is going to backfire on them.
I like this
And now the use of Uranus on that island sabo was on has started a fourth era. (Since I consider luffy being the 5th yonko as apart of the worst generation era)
One where the citizens of the world no longer trust the world goverment but fear it. And because of it they will have a reason to rebel once pushed to far. And the with the launching of the seraphin I fear this time is close at hand
for those of us who have been following the story for so many years (I have for about 10 years!) this chapter was HUGE. Finally seeing Vegapunk after years of wondering what he looks like (and oh my that was out of everyone's imagination), crying with Robin (i mean, she hasn't shown this much emotion since impel down! our baby!), young dragon????? clover?????? and the revelations about the great civilization... 1066 was... wow.
Enies lobby not impel down
same! I've been reading the story since mid 2000, and reading weekly since 2009. This recent chapter is just massive payback for years filled with speculations and theories. Vegapunk, Saul, Ohara, Bonney, Kuma, Blackbeard, Dragon?! Oda really pulling all stops for this ending saga.
Exactly!
I completely agree. I remember having to watch RUclips video of articles because I didn't know about manga websites. I can remember reading the marineford arc weekly and constantly blew my mind broke my heart and shit my pants. I love how everything is finally coming together.
I thought vegapunk would be a pervert muten roshi
I loved how the Strawhats jumped to defend Robin the moment Vegapunk made her tear up. When they said they'd do anything for her back in Zou, they meant it.
And they're about to do it for real here very soon. Now that Lucci (that stupid pigeon guy), Kaku (Square Usopp a.k.a. the Pasta Machine), and Stussy (uh, booba!) are on the island, things just went from zero to shit hundred and fuck in only a few panels.
Saul is apperantly the only fakeout death that I am ok with in One Piece. This was hinted by Aokiji using Ice Time Capsule to preserve his friend. It also shows how Kuzan never went against his justice ideology.
Not to mention, remember what Kid said about his crew needing to find the "man covered in flames", or something similar to that? And the chapter showed Saul completely covered up in bandages. This may be a big stretch, but...what if Saul is this "man covered in flames" that Kid is trying to find? Maybe he knows much about the poneglyphs and is the man Kid needs to find so he can learn more about them himself, which in turn will put him one step closer to finding the One Piece.
@@vgmaster02 this is an extremely solid theory. This also 999% confirms we are going to go to elbaf, and we’re gonna get a Robin and Saul reunion
@@aben1466 ...as if the Elbaf setup wasn't obvious from the five million other arcs before this XD but yes, almost certain Elbaf has to be the next arc following Egghead. Everything is in place now, there's nowhere else to go besides Elbaf, and Egghead is just setting up the info which will lead into the arc.
@@vgmaster02 Elbaf setup wasn't obvious in the slightest. People who think it was took the smallest shreds of evidence towards that as solid confirmation, but if you look at the "evidence" before this chapter, there was nothing that even remotely proved it. It was hinted at, and it was an option, but it was never clear-cut at all.
@@Peksisarvinen you serious? Usopp stated (paraphrasing) "he would sure like to visit them one day, if there was an entire island of brave warriors" referring to Brogy and Dorry. That is proof enough
All this info is making the inevitable Elbaf arc so much more hype. I can't wait to hopefully see Saul.
3 decades in and Oda is still in his prime, unmatched greatness 🐐
OMG a character we thought died didn’t? Oda has NEVER done that before. Not in baroque works, not in big mama arc, not with a flashback character. You can count how many characters Oda fake deathed then returned with more than characters he actually killed
@@goodguyshuckle9270 someone didnt watch and or pay attention to the video
@@dtg9k355 just cause it makes an impact to Robin doesn’t mean it’s not an asspull. Why didn’t the navy go check the island after bombing the hell out of it? This wasn’t a small group, this was the group that ERADICATES, wipes things clean entirely, almost from history. And the navy went to the island solely to destroy the history and knowledge, so why wouldn’t they go and check to see if damage happens. So why wouldn’t they see a giant pit full of books undamage and not go “hey let’s get a match”. It’s an asspull move altogether
@@goodguyshuckle9270 that part was not what was good, simpleton.
@@Elidan1012 it’s not what’s good but it’s what makes the good point work. It’s saying that Robin has reason to move forward, so she could meet up with Saul again. It shows us the actual vegapunk in this chapter. And it lets us know the knowledge is not lost. But the entire logic for it to work makes no sense from what we have seen the navy done.
I'm so happy for Robin to have someone from her past being alive and potentially meeting again.
The reunions at or near the end will be so wholesome! 🥰
Also I can understand Vegapunk splitting into 7 seperate bodies.
Can't even imagine what a headache would have felt for him....
What about her dad? Is he dead?
@@sogekingfromsniperisland7033 oh he's with the other strawhat dads that are either dead or still looking for the golden milk
@@sogekingfromsniperisland7033 Yeah he died either before Robin's birth or early in her life. I'm on the Ohara flashback in the anime.
I love that panel of Robin happy crying. Luffy did far more for Robin when he said “Say you want to live!” Because now, her life has so much more meaning.
Seeing Nico cry with joy that Saul is alive made me smile so hard I almost cut my face. This chapter was HUGE.
Calm down joker
Gay
@@MB-gl3cj Not sure why you decided to come out on a random comment in a random video, but congratulations!
I completely forgor Nico was her first name, I thought you were talking about someone else.
@@lilporky8565 Pretty sure it's her last name, because of the way Japanese names are presented. Last name first, like Monkey D Luffy, or Roronoa Zoro
During the separation of the strawhats, everyone was sent to islands that fits them well excluding Brook. Unlike Nami on weatheria, or Franky on Katakuri, his location is not that connected to him because he spent his 2 years going on tour.
It maybe because Brook was new to the crew at that time and Kuma wasn't able to gain information about him. (Let's add the fact that he was drifting alone in the Florian Triangle for 50 years.) He was isolated from the world.
Personally, it make sense to me now. At first, I never understand why Kuma sent Robin to a place where she'll be enslaved. He maybe sent Robin to the Tequila wolf where he knew that the place will be liberated by the Revolutionaries and will make her join them.
Robin is connected to the revolutionaries because Ohara serves as the trigger point to Dragon that results in the creation of the revolutionary army. She's basically part of the foundation of it.
That leaves the question of "What did Robin do in those 2 years?" Aside from training.
Robin knew about Sabo, but she was quiet about it. Since her time with the revolutionaries are not seen, maybe she still has some information to uncover.
Imagine being Dragon and knowing Saul is alive but keeping it from Robin :P. He likely didn't know they were connected, but if he did. . .
@@DarkflameEmperor there's probably a reason. Like dragon only trusted that information with Ivankov Sabo and Kuma. I mean finding out that ex-vice admiral Saul is alive and took the O'Hara books to Elbaf is just begging Imu to cross out Elbaf.
@Enomis V That stuff would make sense but like he said, Dragon more than likely just didn't know there was a connection.
@@DarkflameEmperor lol Robin does that all the time to the strawhats she always keep secrets from them, she didn't even tell Luffy about Sabo, she got a taste of her own medicine lol even this chapter when she got exposed by Vegapunk for knowing things about the ancient kingdom Nami was shocked she was like " what Robin you knew about it ?!! " Luffy doesn't care about the secrets she hides but the other crew members probably do as seen by Nami's reaction this chapter ! and it's not like Dragon owes her any explanation it's not like she's his daughter......or is she 🧐 ??????!
@@dvdjsvd tbf why would she tell the crew everything she knows. most of it is extremely dangerous knowledge. It really doesn't matter how much you trust someone if not telling them is just the better/safer option. Sabo probably told her not to mention anything as he knows luffy that isn't the kind of thing you could just tell him. I do quite like the theory that Luffy and robin could be half-siblings though.
The words "Ohara won" hit me kinda hard, that backstory is one of my top three favorites and those words recontextualize that story from despair to a tragic victory, heroes sacrificing themselves for the world in the name of truth.
Young Vegapunk has a widow’s peak that puts even Vegeta to shame
I'm an OG One Piece fan and I cannot express how happy I am to be finally introduced to Vega Punk after all these years. His design is by far the wackiest I love the Newton and Einstein inspiration, hopefully he doesn't get killed off at least not in this arc I want to see Vega Punk on The 1000 Sunny.
Yes just yes or atleast him take a part in the Great War on the straw hats side
He 100% is going to get killed
Not only has he said it himself in the previous chapter, but he read the ohara books.
He has to die so the mugiwaras need to go to elbaf to get that juicy info
@@Baddaby might possibly maybe. A big stretch. But vega punk could disconnect himself from the one that luffy mets og vegapunk and the other six. In blowing up the island with the cp0 so straw hats can escape with something that vegapunk will intrust to the straw hats (maybe some kinda back up AI/hologram of vegapunk to continue on for him in the future) and yea thats how vega punk could go out in theory. Seems like vega punk is plotting some and is anticipating the world government on the move to wipe him out.
And him meeting luffy directly makes me feel like oda is gonna have luffy have that bond he tends to do when meeting big figure’s in the op world. And vega punk is gonna break it down with why he should be attentive of the world government movements. But also luffy might reveal his dream to vegapunk just let him know more about himself.
same. the criticism on his design comes from one piece fans who want one piece to be more edgy, serious and badass. but this never was one piece. yes, we have serious moments and characters. but for every serious character or moment, there are two funny characters and moments.
You can always criticize, but if your criticism stops you from having fun with a fictional world … idk there are more serious shonen. naruto e.g., most characters are edgy and badass with cool designs.
@@suumcuique4530 well put! 100% agree.
After years of seeing Robin in the background, it’s so refreshing to see her character being relevant again
I think part of the reason we were duped with Saul was because he was frozen during a flashback. And if someone is said to have been killed in a flashback, usually it's pretty solid. We never considered that he got thawed out of the ice like Robin and Luffy did in present day... when it was a possibility considering we never saw Aokiji smash Saul's body.
But yeah, this was an excellent 'he was alive all along' reveal. Because it's believable and it gives us great emotional payoff with Robin.
Yeah and it's not a Pell situation where he took a nuke to the dome and somehow lived. Saul was just frozen and she left. Makes perfect sense that he'd be alive and the bandages are from his skin getting messed up cause of the ice
ESPECIALLY when you consider the name of the attack aokiji used
@@christiancasaverdepertica1802 More importantly, it sheds light on Aokiji's motivations, and it really feels even more like he's undercover in Blackbeard's crew.
@@CapObv Agreed. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Oda has planned
1:32 "that head, that head is amazing" - Liam 2022
Vegapunk's design didn't even surprise me that much, Oda's been known to give important characters weird designs.
I like how he called out dragon for being closed-minded for thinking everyone allied or working for the WG was evil, shows how mature and perceptive he is
I think its pretty spot on for one piece. To me at least. Always a nice surprise to see if one goofy can out goofy another. And oda always delivers. And unique at that.
A character can have a complete badass look like king and others. But if every character looks muscular and cool guy like shanks. It would seem stale to me.
Is it just me or this is oda's version of Neo Cortex?
@@AnonymousEnigma19 legit.
My favorite panel of this chapter was seeing Robin's smile upon realizing that Saul and the will of Ohara are both alive.
Robin getting the most out of this chapter was phenomenal and seeing Saul is still alive I was so happy obviously more for Robin then anyone since that reunion showing off her friends will be so good and Vegapunk could 1 hit KO anyone with a headbutt GODDANG man
I caught up to One Piece 8 years ago (November 2014) and finally getting all these huge revelations back to back really feels like OP is entering the endgame, such an amazing feeling finally getting answers to questions I’ve had since my early teen years
My favourite part of this chapter was when Robin said "I better call Saul." Brought a tear to my eye balls.
Peak fiction and when chopper said it’s choppin time
I've been reading since 2002, and this chapter was the most emotional the series has made me.
3rd most for me ("I want to live" and the end of the Going Merry), but I totally agree with the sentiment.
Zou: are we a joke to you?
Damn you’ve been reading this series for 20 years. Thats respect dude
Bro watched merry die with a straight face
@@justbandile5625 correct
Maybe there is a possibility that Saul is the man "marked by flames" that Kid was talking about. A giant from the D clan with burn scars after he survived the Ohara incident. Kid may be already in Elbaf looking for him.
Oda foreshadowed that Saul was alive in Robins flashback but it was very subtle so barely anyone noticed it.
Aokiji used an Attack called ‘Ice Time Capsule’, Time capsules are things used to help preserve objects for future use, in other words Aokiji didn’t Kill Saul he preserved him.
About Dragon not telling Robin: Perhaps he didn't know that the one behind the giants is Saul, since unlike Vegapunk, he did not visit Elbaf to read the books. Also, just because he knew Robin was a survivor from Ohara, that does not necessarily mean he knew about her connection to Saul. After all, by the time he visited Ohara, Saul was already gone from the place. Perhaps he could have told her that he was on the island and saw giants take the books away, but that's about it. But who knows what that man is thinking, Dragon has not been particularly shown as a loose-lipped person in the story so far.
If Dragon knew about Saul then i do not think he would have told Robin because of the risk. Robin is similar to Luffy in the way that if she makes up her mind about a path she wil follow that path to the end. So imagine if Dragon told Saul was alive and Robin would take off on her own to go see him. The journey would be too dangerous and think about all the enemies who would like to capture her: Big Mom, Kaido and Blackbeard to name a couple.
its also possible robin never told dragon about her interaction with saul
Robin never even told the straw hats about saul. Dragon would have no idea that robin even knew him
It makes sense Dragon doesn't know or has all the details to make the connection about Saul, at the end that was mostly being told from Vegapunk's perspective.
But it still makes you think about why on Chapter 593 Revolutionaries are insisting on taking Robin with Dragon, calling her the "Light of the Revolution" and stating they've been looking for her for over 10 years as she was the sole survivor of the Ohara Incident. Then 2 years later Robin is acting shocked when finding that Dragons motivation for forming the Revolutionary Army was the Ohara Incident and Clover's death. So pretty much Dragon never told her about it lol.
At the end we don't know anything really about what Robin did on the timeskip, guess we'll have to find out if that eventually gets revealed.
I was sure Saul is alive, I even posted it on AP forums a few years back. The clue that gives away Saul being alive is the name of the attack Aokiji used back then: "Ice time capsule''.
Also, Saul can be the man with burn marks but the marks are made by ice and not by fire because ice can create ice burns.
Or he was thawed out and burned by Ohara being set on fire during the buster call...
goodman
Hey what's AP?
how do kid and law knew about him tho? its not like hes casually walking around somewhere he is frozen. i dont think he is the man with burned scar
Dragon not telling Robin anything was probably a mix of not knowing that she didn't know and not wanting her to be distracted. After all if you have Robin on your side and she is angry at the people you are fighting then you have a powerful ally. But if she is distracted with the knowledge that Saul is alive then she won't be doing anything for you until she meets him.
This chapter hit me so hard in the feelings that I was in tears for about half of it
I knew Ohara was too strong to go down from the World Government. Seeing Robin being emotional caused me to be so happy for our favorite archeologist. Also loved your Frieza shirt Liam.
I've been reading since around 05 too. So yeah, this has been a long time coming. This chapter put me on an emotional rollercoaster along with Robin ngl.
I've been hoping Dr Vegapunk would be on our side, and getting some more Dragon backstory is always appreciated.
Also Saul is the goat rn
I'm so glad you brought the wiki stuff back up, when I first read the chapter it was one of the first things I thought of lol
I am not ready for that emotional "dereshesheshe" reunion.
The fact that the Ohara incident motivated Dragon to create The Revolutionary Army is so amazing,I love that someone other than Robin remembers that horrible thing and is actively doing something about it
That panel with Robin crying and smiling hit me harder than a Buster Call, I love her and she has been through so much, she more than anyone deserves someone from her past to still be alive
I did wonder how Clover was able to tank those gun shots as an old man and still be able to talk and move, but knowing he was an adventurer (not really a pirate I'm pretty sure) explains a lot about him.
I mean in a way luffy is a pirate seeking adventure. And clover was an adventurer sailing like a pirate with a crew and traveling around the world. And also treated like criminal similar to a pirate being arrested.
Theory on why his head went from high to low : Ceasar .
Remember, he blew up the entire punk hazard when vegapunk was there. So it's no wonder he is like that. Which ties this chapter with germa incursion cover
Given that during short coversation from Kid about man marked by flames we got the Robin panel coupled with Killer saying they have no clues about him then Saul, who is now hiding and saved some of Ohara's knowladge, knowing about last Poneglyph is starting to look as best bet.
I started reading One Piece since Yamato joined the story. This is the first time I’ve almost cried from the story
I’d highly suggest reading the whole story from the beginning.
@@bucoizpecigrada I am pretty sure they are caught up. They started from the beginning when Yamato was introduced.
@@TheKushOfAfghan I doubt that, if this was the first thing that made em cry?
@@Toasted000 tcbscans is where I read them. They come out pretty early
Wano arc is the worst arc of one piece! I am glad you stuck around haha
I feel like Oda’s going, “Didn’t I show you the frozen people can be saved?”
Kaido: I was captured 7 times
Clover: Those are rookie numbers
This chapter was so good and felt like since Enies Lobby I’ve shed a tear reading a chapter 😭
I’m so exited to hear what kind of laugh he has, no way THE Dr.Vegapunk has a normal laugh…
I think it's safe to say that Robin was one of the stars of 1066. Seeing her happiness and shock after learning that the research of her fellow Ohara archeologists wasn't in vain, and learning that Saul is still alive, was simply amazing. And seeing the younger versions of the most unexpected characters was great as well. Now there are 3 reunions I want to see. Koala and Jinbei, Brook and Laboon, and Robin and Saul.
Dragon dangerously reminded me of the silhouette of Rocks D. Xebec
I started crying when I thought about Saul getting to meet Robin's friends and laughing with joy!
Ohhh man, seeing Robin cry was the highlight of the chapter for me. And the idea of her meeting Saul again just breaks me💔man, this was just an amazing and emotional chapter for me❤️
Saul meeting nico robin with her friends is very very heartwarming for me and also not to mention ohara's knowledge getting restored to elbaf is a huge reveal i believe that elbaf is higly likely to be next arc after this.
Wow I have never been this early before, this chapter was crazy! So much Robin love this chapter! Also not to mention that we got Dragon lore! 10/10 chapter for me! Keep up the great work Liam!
This chapter made me sad because seeing the 7th and original Vegapunk disproves my theory that the 6 Vegapunks would get in the Thriller Bark mech formation and become 1 again.
The contrast between Vega punk and dragon design juxtaposed by the context of the meeting is peak one piece
I don’t think any chapter in any story made me feel happier for a character, than this chapter made me feel for Robin! Her crying smile hit so hard in the feels I started sobbing.
I am personally much more okay with Saul's fake out death than any other in the series. I don't know why, it just feels like an actual twist of fate rather than an ass-pull (looking at you Pell!)
Saul likely lived because of how he “died”; Aokiji defeated him by turning him to ice, but he never actually wanted to kill him. The flames of burning ohara down counterintuitively saved Saul, but he still suffered major burns
the biggest revelation of this chapter shouldn be that jaguar D saul is possibly the leader of SWORD
I didn't even consider that, would be cool but I still think hes hiding on Elbaf personally
Seriously, in a world of tiresome fake out deaths, Saul brought a tear to my eye, and you're right, it was because it was for Robin. She deserves every shred of happiness she can get.
This has been one of the single most mind kowing chapters yet.
The Egghead Arc is crazy, and I can't wait to see what's next.
I also think that Saul is the “the man with the burn scars” that Kidd described needing to find. His body is totally wrapped in bandages, possibly burning on Ohara when the ice surrounding him melted.
I found it interesting that in the flashback Dragon didn't have his tattoo. Wonder where he got it from and what it means. Also Aokiji used Ice Time Capsule on Saul so it actually makes sense he wasn't dead
Robin reuniting with Saul is gonna wreck me!
Trying to figure out how past Vegapunk puts his shirts on 🤔
My assumption for why Dragon didn't tell Robin that Saul is alive is simply that Dragon could be extremely paranoid about people spying on him. If he felt that there was even a .1% chance of someone finding out that someone else from Ohara not only lived, but managed to secure the researchers texts, he would stay quiet. So yeah, I think it is simply paranoia why he kept quiet.
Me: "Its big brain time"
Vegapunk: "it's always"
Why is everybody so surprised about Dragon not explaining everything to Robin? Ivankov was in the revolutionary army from the beginning, closer than anyone to Dragon... And he never knew Dragon had a son or confirmation that he was from the East blue.
Elbaf is shaping up to be more than just an arc for usopp
This guy has been reading one piece for longer than I have been alive
I love vegapunks Albert Einstein design
Plus Isaac Netwon (apple on the head)
Me too Brother🥸. I saw that coming and it makes a lot of sense both are Genius and one of a Kind.
I think my favourite part of his present design is the strong implication that he literally cut of a part of his head to make each of the satellite bodies.
Lyrics:It starts with one
All I know
It's so unreal
Watch you go
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself of a time when I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mockin' me
Actin' like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when I
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
You didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, they didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory
Of a time when I tried so hard
Ok
When you think about it, Saul's death was always ambiguous. For every flashback death beside Sabo, you could basically pinpoint the instant a character died. But not for Saul, the guy was just frozen. And do you know who else we saw freeze completely? Robin, Luffy, Buggy, Jozu, Doflamingo and Cracker. We even saw random prisoners and innocent Chocolat Town citizens freeze. If they all survived, but a Giant Vice Admiral died frozen on a burning island, it would have made no sense.
I’ve had that same thought. But like with deaths. The way oda shows a confirmed death and an ambiguous will he live being on the verge of death. And i mean fake outs are a form of story telling. To create suspense.
@@thiccbaby2967 Yeah, it's not like Oda has much of a choice. If he dropped people left and right, we'd question the survival of the Straw-Hats a lot of times. But if in the opposite, no one runs close to dying, then there is no tension.
@@jinkun2629 yea. And i mean the emotional roller coaster of it are probably what off put some people.
I literally screamed out loud crying when Saul was revealed
I think the Vegapunk we saw at the end is dumber than the one in the flashback based on how much smaller his head and brain appears to be. I think this happened because he split himself into many pieces
I cried when I saw Saul was alive. Then I saw people were on reddit that everyone was dissing it, because "Oda didn't kill another person", but then I was reading Seraph of the end and someone was like, "You'd cry too if you found out a family member was alive that you thought had died" (referring to mika) so I think it's okay to be happy about Saul.
I love this chapter because it looks like Egghead will become Enies Lobby 2.0. And Enies Lobby is by far my most loved arc in the series.
Considering how far we are into 2022, I'm wondering what will be the big bang to end the year.
We ended 2020 on Luffy bringing Kaido to his knees and declaring his goal of becoming Pirate King in face of two emperors.
We ended 2021 on Zoro beating King, only leaving Big Mom and Kaido as the last big threats on Onigashima.
Will Kuma's backstory wait until the end of the year? Or maybe we will finaly learn what Devil Fruits are exactly.
For me it looks like Egghead will be Water Seven and Elbaf Enies Lobby.
I’ve got hope that Tom is still kicking and building ships somewhere out there in the OP world.
I find it hilarious that robin is getting all of these life changing news while she's basically in her underwear
The one time Nami and Robin walk around in an outfit thats pretty much just panties, Brook stays to guard the Sunny 😭
A tiny detail about vegapunk is that in his younger form we only see his full profile at a distance. When he’s talking with dragon his head is cut off by the panel. Which is a fun drawing detail.
Y'all failed to notice that the destruction of Ohara and the founding of the revolutionary army happened as the same year as Roger's execution.
I really hope that Dragon was on Ohara bringing flowers to Robin's mother's grave because he is her daddy. It would make so much sense seeing that Robin always seems to get Luffy more than anyone. Because she's his sister or atleast half sister.
Actually, Dragon isn’t Robin’s dad, because it was told that her real biological father died before Robin was born.
Still conflicted with Saul being alive but to be fair it is in character for what we've seen with Aokiji and his tendancy to be far more lenient than Akainu of Kizaru that he didn't go all out and slaughter him
Also, while I don't think it was something completely planned out all the way back then, if memory serves Aokiji used the attack Ice Time/Freeze Time on Saul, which considering he's still alive makes it make sense
This chapter made me openly sob for Robin. I have never felt or experienced such realistic emotions emitting from a character in such quick session to where my brain understood and felt compassion, heartache, all the works. My god I loved this chapter.
If you think Saul's only purpose in Robin's flashback was for him to survive and preserve the knowledge of Ohara. The friendship Robin had with him was important for Robin but in those scenes, he can be replaced with Clover or any other archeologist (which she knew for a long time and not just a few days like Saul) in Ohara. So why would O da need Saul who is also a giant if not for him to survive and ‘’move’’ Ohara to Elbaf?
Giants aren't really the sciency and scholary type and since Saul was quite special and has the will of D, he might serve as a bridge between the meathead warriors of Elbaf and science and reason and that might be used to recruit giants into the revolutionary army which will then be joined by Straw Hat fleet in a battle of such scale, battle for pellenor fields and endgame will pale in comparison.
Honestly might be the most impactful chapter in years. I couldn't believe what I was reading and as a bonus Oda still found a way to make this chapter still have a healthy dose of the fun/goofy side of One Piece.
I ugly cried while reading this chapter. Sauls words to robin are my favorite in the entire story. Finding out he should be alive....broke me.
Truly one of the most jaw dropping moments for me reading one piece. Having the scene of the scientist throwing their books out of the tree FINALY being payed off has been the most mind expanding, jaw dropping, outstanding moments in one piece for me.
This is probably the most shocking news I was Torn back a few years back when I saw what happened at Ohara but I always felt like maybe they didn't all die.
I actually didnt notice how well Oda was able to keep the tone whilst droppingbsuch a ridiculous design. Great point
One Piece chapter 1066 begins its story with the Straw Hat crew questioning what Vegapunk Shaka has just told them, calling it just a theory. Shaka explained that an archeologist in the past staked his life on it, and almost revealed the Ancient Kingdom’s name. He also said that, at the same location, the machines seen on Egghead were discovered, and their manufacture agreed upon.
This led Robin to question if he’s referring to the machine being built during the Void Century, asking Shaka how much is truly known to him. Nami asks Robin if she knows anything about this, as Shaka begins discussing Ohara’s fate with Robin. He shares his theory that Ohara learning the Ancient Kingdom’s name was the cause of Ohara’s destruction, elaborating that the Void Century they studied is actually a history of the Ancient Kingdom.
More specifically, it’s a recount of the war they waged against the 20 kingdoms that would eventually form the World Government. To prevent the name from being passed down, the World Government erased all traces of that Kingdom. The Straw Hats eventually surmise that the “he” Vegapunk had referenced earlier was the man who discovered this Kingdom’s name, and was eventually eliminated for it.
)
The Straw Hats question why they had to be given the information, but Vegapunk counters that it’s just a theory like they said. However, he turns to Robin and asks her if she feels that the World Government’s attacking Ohara is the same as confirming the theory. She asks him why he’s sharing this and if he’s told the World Government, but he responds that even he would be killed for speaking of it.
Robin begins asking Shaka how he knows of this since Ohara’s books were the only records of Void Century study. However, Vegapunk soliloquizes that the Will of Ohara lives on, and just how Robin survived Ohara, so did the knowledge of Professor Clover, Vegapunk’s old friend. He elaborates that he returned to Ohara several months later to find it a burnt field, where he offered a tribute of flowers to Clover.
He explains that Clover was once an adventurer obsessed with learning about the Void Century, being undeterred by his 10 imprisonments. He eventually settled in Ohara, and as the world’s most famous archeologist, drew others thirsting for knowledge to the island. Vegapunk speculates that this gathering of knowledge is what caused the island to be burned down.
Vagapunk proceeds to explain that upon arriving at Ohara several months later, he saw a giant lake in the center of the island with various literature sunken at its bottom. One Piece chapter 1066 offers a flashback here, where the younger Vegapunk is seen theorizing that scholars threw books into the lake to protect them from the Buster Call’s flames and destruction.
Shaka, in the present, explains that even if foot soldiers saw them, their value wouldn’t be known, with the victory being Ohara’s and Vegapunk shedding tears of joy at their win. Meanwhile, another flashback shows Robin talking to her mother, Nico Olvia, who tells her she still has something left to do while instructing her daughter to get off the island.
Olvia seems to have been part of the Ohara scholars who threw the books into the lake, internally telling Robin that history is humanity’s treasure. She also says that for the sake of all of their futures (referring to Robin and other children like her in the world), they won’t give up.
The flashback then cuts back to Robin and Jaguar D. Saul, and the latter is seen telling the former to be proud of her mother and explaining that Ohara fought against the world. One Piece chapter 1066 then returns to the present, where Robin is seen crying before she confirms Vegapunk’s theory on Ohara and what they learned.
She asks where the books in the lake are now, as Vegapunk explains that he wanted to bring them to Punk Hazard, but it wasn’t worth the risk of higher-ups in the Government learning of it. Returning to Vegapunk’s flashback several months after the Buster Call, One Piece chapter 1066 sees the younger Vegapunk witnessing various Giants going into the lake.
He realizes that the Giants are pulling the books out of the lake, wondering what he should do and whether the Giants know of their value. Suddenly, Monkey D. Dragon arrives, greeting Vegapunk like an old friend while saying it’s been a while. He even mocks his massively huge head here, suggesting the two were close, old friends.
Realizing who it is, Vegapunk asks what he’s doing here, to which Dragon responds by asking Vegapunk the same question while saying he was friends with Professor Clover. A shocked Vegapunk seeks confirmation, before once more monologuing about Clover’s past while also sharing his disbelief in the intel regarding Clover’s “plotting the world’s destruction.”
Dragon asks Vegapunk if he’s worried about the Giants, reassuring him that they’re not thieves and have come from Elbaf with knowledge of the literature’s value. He shares that their captain is “a strange man with bandages covering his whole body,” which leakers have since confirmed to be Jaguar D. Saul, marking his first appearance in over 650 chapters in One Piece chapter 1066.
Dragon continues, sharing that Saul essentially swore that he would protect the treasures that Oharans died to save, before sharing the concern that Vegapunk came to discard the literature. Vegapunk rejects this explanation, prompting Dragon to share his disappointment with his friend’s joining the World Government, saying he was going to invite him to join his Revolutionary Army.
However, Vegapunk says that he can’t use his intellect and technology with the penniless Revolutionary Army, prompting Dragon to yield to him. Vegapunk then says that there are those within the World Government and Marines who share Dragon’s sentiment, telling his friend not to lose sight of his goal.
However, Dragon confesses that the Ohara incident is simply too much, questioning how scholars who were merely researching the past could be eradicated so mercilessly.
He resolves to create an army that can fight for the people, as Vegapunk questions how someone who can hate war like him could do such a thing. Dragon then swears to change the world and not let Clover’s death and Ohara’s will be in vain.
One Piece chapter 1066 then sees Nami praising Dragon’s passion, while Usopp questions if Shaka said Elbaf's name. Robin says she had no idea of Dragon and Clover’s connection, as Franky questions why Kuma saved them and why Vegapunk modified Kuma. Sanji, meanwhile, calls Ivankov a bastard after realizing he’s a founding member of the Revolutionary Army.
Shaka claims that Ohara’s literature can’t be found by the World Government, saying he instead secretly went to Elbaf and read all the literature there. This then formed the basis of his knowledge, as well as everything he’s been able to invent throughout his career. It’s once again confirmed here that the Giants’ leader was Saul, with Vegapunk sharing he’s still alive and laying low.
Robin smiles, and thanks Shaka for not letting the battles that the Oharans fought go to waste with the destruction of their knowledge. Suddenly, One Piece chapter 1066 sees the shoes the Straw Hats are wearing begin to move on their own, as Shaka apologizes for not letting them go yet but beckons them all to come see something.
One Piece chapter 1066 then shifts perspective to Luffy’s group, where Luffy tells Chopper that he sees no “riding spot” on the giant robot. Chopper guesses that it’s the kind of robot that moves on its own, attempting to activate it with his voice. Luffy thinks that the robot must have a name, and the name needs to be said to get it to move, prompting he and Chopper to tell “Robonosuke” to move.
Bonney questions if they’re kids, saying there’s no way the robot will move when it suddenly explodes. The real Vegapunk is then heard asking someone to save him, calling it another failure and saying that space-time must have contorted during teleportation. Luffy questions who it is, before turning to save him, as Bonney begins to realize who they’ve just met.
Vegapunk then asks Luffy if he’s Dragon’s son, saying he knew Luffy would one day come here. He also recognizes Bonney, telling her she’s grown a lot and that he’s glad to see her doing well. Luffy asks Vegapunk why he’s floating, explaining that Luffy’s shoes also have the capability to do so with a button and lever.
Luffy, Vegapunk, and Chopper all blast into the sky, as One Piece chapter 1066 formally introduces Vegapunk. Calling him the “man with the best brain in the world” and reaffirming him as the leader of the Special Science Group, the issue ends with no announcement of a break next week.
One Piece chapter 1066: Final thoughts
Overall, One Piece chapter 1066 is a very deep and informative issue, arguably one of the most of its kind in recent publication history. The long-awaited and highly-anticipated reveal of the real Dr. Vegapunk is also very exciting, and has created a massive stir amongst the series’ faithful fans.
One Piece chapter 1066 is also fantastic in its unexpected character development of Nico Robin, thanks to the expansion on Ohara’s destruction. Jaguar D. Saul’s still being alive also gives fans of Robin something to look forward to when the Straw Hats head to Elbaf, which is certain to happen given these recent events.
Finally, the reveal of Vegapunk and Dragon’s apparently storied history with one another in One Piece chapter 1066 is also incredibly interesting. Should Vegapunk be confirmed as the leader of SWORD, fans will most likely see these two team up their respective organizations at some point prior to the end of the series.
Damn so that theory about Aokiji faking Saul's death was legit
Even though I LOVE seeing Saul alive, I feel like this cuts back on the effect of Robins backstory of her loosing everyone and everything
Yeah, she just saw everything she knew and loved brutally taken from her, was left by herself on the run for 20 years, and didn't see or know about her only surviving friend being alive for all that time she was being hunted down. No impact, of course.
I CANNOT think of a good reasoning for bringing him back. It simply devalues Robin's backstory and doesn't seem to bring anything of value
Of all the characters Oda has brought back this is my favorite. It even makes sense he was frozen and slowly defrosted and the island burned. It’s more poetic then anything.
@@mansfaye1084 it does, it gives robin a chance to see the second only person robin knew
I disagree, it cuts back on nothing because Robin still lost absolutely everything, it’s only now at the age of 30 she gets one of those people back, that’s all
I hadn’t yet gotten misty eyes reading the Manga since i caught up late last year (Watched anime to end of oden flashback/ very start of raid then switched to reading Manga) but Robins happy face crying (the one next to the thankyou Vegapunk panel) made me break my streak.
Now I'm just picturing Robin meeting Saul again and both doing Saul's laugh while crying
DERESHISHISHISHISHI
Great to have finally found One Piece RUclips! Crazy to think it's taken this long, but I'm so glad I found your content! Top notch, and can't wait to explore more! 🤙
I caught myself laughing unprompted for several minutes three times yesterday just by thinking about young Vegapunk’s fucking head!😂
I certainly didn't see any of this coming. The truth behind the Void Century, Professor Clover's past, Jaguar D. Saul is still alive, and for the first time since he was mentioned by Koby all the way back in chapter 433, we finally see what the original Dr. Vegapunk looks like, both in the past and in the present! This might be my new favorite chapter of the series and there's just too much to go over with it! I'll try to break down a few points of interest for me:
-We don't get a full reveal of what happened during the Void Century, but I feel like we got more information about it here than we have throughout the entire series (still need to leave some secrets for later, I suppose)
-You'd think at this point, after being wanted by the World Government, you'd think stuff like knowing about the Void Century wouldn't phase them, but I guess being a pirate and being specifically targeted for elimination because they "know too much" are two different things.
-Minor point, and I really does make sense if you actually think about it, but I was initially surprised that Robin assumed all the books were destroyed along with the Tree of Knowledge on Ohara. I suppose a lot was happening at the time, and Robin didn't go back after Ohara was destroyed, so she didn't know the scholars used the last of their remaining time to save as much of their knowledge as they could.
-Being reminded of Ohara in general has me a bit nostalgic, it was all revealed long ago, but as it turns out, Robin's past on Ohara is critically important to the ongoing plot going forward. Also, it seems that Professor Clover was much more important than he initially seemed (and more rebellious at that)
-I suppose Jaguar D. Saul has now been added to the list of One Piece characters thought to have been dead but in reality still lives, though honestly I don't mind it in this case; Robin's backstory was already tragic enough as it was, with her mentor Clover and her mother Nico Olivia still dying from the Buster Call attack, plus there are some plausible explanations for how Saul could have survived the encounter. At the very least, I'm just happy for Robin that one of the people she was close to still lives.
-I can't help but get a kick out of Saul, who had previously disregarded the giants of Elbaf as "barbaric", going to the giants of Elbaf to collect and preserve the books the scholars of Ohara saved. Not to mention, I feel like this, more than anything, solidifies that the Straw Hat Pirates are going to Elbaf at some point, there are just too many important points of interest not to.
-Getting a bit more insight on Dragon's past was also a treat; before the Revolutionary Army, he was part of a group called the "Freedom Fighters", and that he founded the Revolutionary Army with Ivankov and Kuma specifically is all fascinating stuff. It also makes me interested in when, exactly, he conceived Luffy with Luffy's mother, since this was 22 years ago, 3 years before Luffy would be born. Also, Dragon hates war? Maybe that ties into why Vegapunk called those killer robots he made "Pacifistas".
-Another minor point, I love each Straw Hat crewmember having a different reaction to Shaka's story; Nami has admiration for Dragon, Usopp takes note of Elbaf's involvement, Robin is surprised Clover and Dragon new each other, Franky wants to know what Kuma helped them specifically, Sanji is surprised Ivankov was a founding member of the Revolutionary army. What they decide to make note of ties into their personal experiences and what interests them specifically, and I think that's neat.
-I'm just gonna say it... I love the original Vegapunk's design, both in the past and in the present. It's just so ridiculous and goofy, but also SO One Piece, it's the perfect kind of reveal for someone who was mentioned so frequently for years but we never actually saw! In particular, I love how he constantly sticks out his tongue, and with his present look in particular, looks just like that one photograph of Albert Eistein with his tongue sticking out (you know the one).
-It wasn't specified in the chapter, but I'm willing to bet Vegapunk used pieces of his massive brain to create his six "satellite" Vegapunks, and that apple-thing on his head is what he uses to stay connected to all of them. On that note, I also get the feeling that the removal of parts of his brain turned him into something of a literal "absent-minded professor"; we already see hints of that being the case, given how he overshoots the hover feature on his Dom shoes.
Great chapter, love everything in it!
5:32 just imagine the animation in this moment with the music of the emotional score of one piece it will be amazing. I will cry in the anime.
Maybe Saul is the man with the scars that Kid mentions at the end of Wano.
What spakred the debate of Saul in the community was Aokiji's skill name: Ice Time Capsule.
Time capsule was popular for storing someone so that they can be released in the future
I feel like vagapunk's design may also be a tribute to Desty Nova from Alita battle Angel. Those who have finished it will understand
Saul is definitely the "man marked by flames" that Kid was off to see post wano.
I surprised Liam didnt mention how saul is most likely the "burned one" kidd was talking about. Meaning that saul knows about how to find the final road poneyglif.
Maybe vegapunk has actually divided his brain into six parts and put them into the different vegaclones, also all the way back in the cover storys for enel on the moon, the bots had a skull as their "jolly roger" and the skulld were very much shaped like vegapunks head
Great call about Saul and Robin meeting. I hope he's like, "See. Told ya you'd find nakama. Derishishishi!"
