That technically means one set of desecendants became life long friends like their ancestors(Usopp&Luffy) and another set may never meet or have yet meet(Wiper&Cricket)
I could mention the mess-up but instead I'm going to say that I completely forgot that ringing the bell was akin to sending ancestor's souls on their way which means that the desperation Wiper and the others had was even more understandable since Calgara died after the last ringing of the bell - every Shandorian who had died between the arrival in the sky were considered to be trapped souls to their descendants and could not move on after their deaths. The relevance of ringing that bell meant that Luffy set free all those trapped souls - yet another act of liberation.

I always thought Garp looked like kind of tribal with his darker skin color. It wasnt just a tan either because he retained it after the timeskip and was seen with it even as a young man. Dragon looks like a more buffed version of Wiper from Shandia. He also has a face tattoo similar to Dragon. I believe Oda mentioned Luffy would be brazilian if he was from earth.
We Latinos share much things (ancestrally) Some pre-columbian people often travel to Peru (inca) and also have some kind of connection to the Brazilian tribes (in Brazil we have a trail that goes directly from São Paulo to Cuzco) Oda is God...
Wait wait wait. If Luffy is from "Americas" and this theory says Gaia and Skypea as a whole were his ancestors home. Nolans story resembles Amazon forest situation. EU explorers got to Amazon, saw an amazing culture and cities of gold. Went back to EU to share the story, came back with more people to find a jungle without cities.
HISTORY MAJOR- the tiawanaku civilization which is comprised of the Inca vanished without a trace and one of the only tribes or known civilizations for this to happen too. Many people theorize that they got too big for the area and dispersed into small groups headed more south so it is actually possible for Inca tribe members to be in Brazil. Also the way certain areas are farmed on the west side of the continent suggest that the Inca migrated there since they use the same techniques of agriculture as Incas did hundreds of years ago in Central America.
I thought it was revealed that Enel had committed a terrible crime, and as punishment his wings were removed and he was banished. Then later after eating the Rumble Rumble Fruit he returned to enact his revenge, resulting in the islands complete destruction.
4:58 I do believe I would’ve meant for Luffy to be Mexican and he thought he was from Brazil, but the live action actors, literally Mexican, and as Oda himself said “he is Luffy”
I am a religious studies graduate and every time the concept of Gods is brought up in One Piece I am thinking about Thomas Hobbes and his book “Leviathan”. Leviathan is the name of a sea monster in the bible, usually depicted as a giant serpent, which is slain by the biblical God. According to Hobbes, the Leviathan represents the quasi divine rulers of ancient, pre-Christian and pre-Jewish societies, like the Pharaoh. Hobbes advocated for absolute monarchy and considered these societies to be examples of states, in which the sovereign is a divine, unrestricted ruler and religion and state are completely intertwined, with the religion being directly linked to the sovereign. Hobbes believed that Judaism started a trend which depraved the king of his divinity, making the cosmic, monotheistic God the “true” sovereign. It was now the God of the Israelites establishing all the laws and even the king, while still considered vicegerent of God, had to obey them. In One Piece, divinity and Gods (especially bad gods) are often depicted as despotic sovereigns. And many religions depicted are cults of an aristocracy and a “divine” monarch. Most notable, Imu and the Celestial Dragons, but also Enel. The positive “Gods”, however, are deities of rebellion and liberation and slayers of false Gods, like Kalgara and Nika. Nka is specifically introduced as a deity popular among slaves, and the God of the Bible freed the Israelites from the slavery of the Pharaoh. It could be a coincidence, but it is interesting nonetheless.
@@waltuh2412 Absolutely. Especially in the so-called "Old Testament" modern readers would often perceive said entity as cruel or immoral. But that's pretty much the point. The term sovereign literally means above, which very much means "above the law". That's also how Hobbes defined the term. The sovereign establishes the laws, but is not effected by them. He doesn't have to obey his own laws, and the very fact defines him as the sovereign. The biblical God stands above both the natural and moral laws they have established. That is why God does "miracles" in the Bible or occasionally acts against their own laws. The biblical God is not meant to be perceived as "moral", but as sovereign. Hence, the worldly Israelite King isn't the true sovereign of the state. The laws of the Tanach were set by God and revealed through prophets, even the King had to obey them.
@@ibnkarim7641 I love how one piece is a story that challenges those ideals, including the ones made by the very top the very “gods” that control the world. Despite being responsible for the way the world is they act out of their own self interest instead of the people they rule over. Just because “god” willed it doesn’t make it right, like Imu flooding the world and preparing to do it again because the people down below are getting too difficult to manage so another “cleansing” is in order. To Imu/the gorosei it’s the greater good but to everyone else it’s the end of the road, it’s genocide, with the only thing that can free the world from this cycle of death and oppression is the freedom of those shackled at the bottom who are made to believe their existence is worth nothing compared to those that rule over them
I picked up One Piece at a friend's request around October 2017. Got to Skypiea either that month or around November. Immediately loved everything about it and put it in my top at the time. I could not BELIEVE how much it was hated and even saw people say it was canon filler. I never stopped loving it, never stopped defending it, never once talked shit on it, never considered it leaving my top tier or arcs. Been hilarious watching people backpedal on it like CRAZY the past few years. I can still remember my overwhelming feeling of joy and pure adventure when the crew took the Knock Up Stream up to Skypiea and started exploring. It was and still is the peak feeling in the entire series for pure adventure.
10:30 🤯🎯 12:44 that is beautiful.. Another small detail i noticed re-watching some of Skypiea, after Calgara and friends realize their mistake, and Calgara takes off running to Noland, it is Seto that is told to ring the bell for them. And it shows Seto ringing the bell like it's his job. Then some episodes later, Wyper tells Luffy ring the bell, which he does, with Enel. I never heard of comparisons between Luffy and Seto before, but their affinity for ringing giant golden bells seems another commonality
I think.. we were hallucinating along with Nami... Now I can see the proper video I clicked and wanted to see... Hope nami shakes of her hallucinations and see the reality by the next chapter
There was no video about Hunter x Hunter ........... there was no transmission received today.......... The other video...... it never existed in the first place. ZAAAAPPPPBOOOOOOOMMMMM. ZZZBBRRRMMMMFFFWWOOISHMMMBOOMM
This is great stuff, Randy is definitely onto something! I’m with you guys, definitely subscribe to the idea that oda had the ending/ main story already planned out in the manga’s infancy and now we are just experiencing a man trying to create the most epic story humanly possible. Oda the goat
hey, Brazilian here, we have a lot, and I mean A LOT of races mixed up here and if you think about luffy's ancestors leaving the sky and going somewhere else, and a mexican family moving too, it still works hahaha great videos btw
If Luffy is a descendant of the Shandorians, or potentially even a Chief of Shandia, Water 7 could be an interesting mirror to the end of the Noland flashback (hear me out) A major theory is that Usopp is a descendant of Liar Noland, who cried when he saw Shandia gone, knowing he may never see his friend again. If Luffy is a descendant of a Shandorian Chief (let’s just even say Calgara for funs) - Usopp crying and apologizing before joining the crew on the Thousand Sunny would be Noland’s descendant finally reuniting with Calgara’s in the same way he never got to in the past. Usopp, Noland’s descendant, was able to make it back to Luffy, Calgara’s descendant, in a way their ancestors failed to.
Nice summary! I've been on board with this since I first saw the Randy Troy video but I wasn't on board for the stuff about Luffy's mother's side (interesting though it was).
Something I noticed recently in chapter 304-305, the start of the foxy pirate arc. Luffy thought the old man that fell from the bamboo stilts was a spirit. He implied that nothing else would come from bamboo but spirits. From Nolan and Ussops reaction, spirits inhabiting plants and trees doesn't seem to be a common belief. Yet Luffy immediately jumped to that conclusion unaware of the full details of Nolans story. This also takes place immediately after Skypeia, which might imply some significance to the line in relation to the belief.
the "South American" connection also points at Rocks too. He was named after the pirate known as Roche the Brazilian, who happened to purchase arms and his ship from François l'Olonnais (the guy Zoro is named after).
Something to add is that dragons tatoo can be seen on the tail of the Amaru, said to bring strong winds which mainly derived from andean mythology. This amaru can also be called a serpent or dragon. Also Enels final “buddah” looking attack was named 200 million volt amaru. The amaru can be seen emerging from a central element in the center of a stepped mountain or pyramid motif in the Gateway of the Sun. And alabaster came before the Skypia saga
I just I was rewatching Engels cover story earlier to try and figure out some clues. One of the interesting things I thought of is that the moon people in the glyphs on the walls had bigger wings than that of the sky people, assuming then that they were lunarians and perhaps sky people are descended distantly from lunarians and are mixed with human races. Given some of the sky folks don’t have wings it’s possible to assume that some humans on earth have lunarians blood and are just descendants which would explain alot of Luffy was.
Great video. I even thought that if this theory was true, Luffy could somehow be Oda's version of Ichigo from Bleach since he was also a mix of multiple group of people. But also, I do want to know what your view on Luffy's mother is since she & the Kuja tribe were mentioned in Randy Troy's video.
To American media, that's often exactly the case - 'the Asian countries' often wind up having their cultures and mythology and history blended together and cherrypicked for stories all the time. So I could see Japanese media doing the same thing to a country as distant from them as we are from Japan.
I just broke up with my fiance of five years, and after getting home from a friends and wrapping up my broken hand (I punched the wall), this is the first video I decided to watch. Just wanted to thank you Liam for always providing the quality One Piece content directly into my RUclips feed, I definitely needed it today.
I am new to the story and just finished the Skypiea Arc in the Anime. One thing I noticed after watching your video is the similarity of Garp using the Ball and chain and Luffy using his arm and the Golden ball to fight Enel. Just a detail I was compelled to bring up.
6:40 i like this.. it would be interesting if the strongest amongst sky people are born w out wings or something.. or some strong wingless line was there idk. I do like the idea about Enel's wings and the drums tho too.. like he sticks it in his wing holes to keep them from regrowing 😅 For the Garp dog head, i like that too. But i like the theory that Garp is posing as a government dog a bit better. Especially w other dog names serving WG seemingly. But that's what's cool about OP is they can both be happening. I like the layers and lv's of connections. It's fun!
Even though I would watch GLR no matter what, his sense of humor is what caused me to initially subscribe to the channel, and he's still got it! I-can't-stop-drawing-my-fictional-pirate-comic disease 😂😂
I always thought Grount looked like an “evil” marine Luffy and thought it was funny that he was one of Garps youngins, all that to say Luffy does have more than one look alike FRFR
Hey man on the internet, I know the movies aren't always cannon but there is definitely a mention of how uta has figerland blood since she was shanks daughter.
The most convincing thing in this video is that Noland is Montblanc’s descendant and if Luffy is Calgara’s descendant- then it makes perfect sense, it goes with the overbearing theme and ideology of one piece! It fits the bill perfectly. 👍👏👏
I just realized- Enel's drum kit thing arcs over his shoulders and head just like the white smoke of luffy's gear 5 form does for him, and like the black flames of Rob Lucci, Kaku and the gorosei, which I assume is due to similar awakened zoan stuff. The point is that with the sun god being known by groups like the Shandians and the Giant's maybe that smoky' ribbon thing made it into depictions. So Enel who not only took over the religous role of Skypeia, but also played amateur archeologist when he took apart the city of gold for his flying machine, would have seen depictions of all of their gods. So him deliberately giving himself the One Piece world equivalent of a divine halo makes sense.
I think Dragon’s tattoo is a reference to Song Jiang from Water Margin; he was a revolutionary against the Song Dynasty who led the bandits of the Liangshan Marsh, and he received a tattoo on his face when he was arrested, as was common practice with criminals at the time, before he escaped to lead the bandits.
This theory feels like something that if you asked oda in an sbs his response would be something like "what any resembelance is totally coincidental" or "of course luffy is like gods he is nika after all"
Because the bell in Shandora is called the light of Shandora. I think that there will be something similar on top of the eve tree, perhaps a bronze gong, which when Luffy hits Imu into it will activate the original mother flame.
Another thing that catches my attention and that could give value to this theory is that on several occasions they refer to Zoro and Sanji as Luffy's "wings", the wings of the future king of the pirates. Or in this case the wings of Nika the sun god. So Luffy actually does have "wings", they just aren't physical.
What other video? I have no idea what you're talking about.

After garp tied luffy to balloons and had him fly all over the place, u could argue that he's technically from the sky

The most convincing thing in this video is that Noland is Montblanc’s descendant and if Luffy is Calgara’s descendant- then it makes perfect sense, it goes with the overbearing theme and ideology of one piece! It fits the bill perfectly. 👍👏👏
Thanks for fixing this
quickly
I just realized- Enel's drum kit thing arcs over his shoulders and head just like the white smoke of luffy's gear 5 form does for him, and like the black flames of Rob Lucci, Kaku and the gorosei, which I assume is due to similar awakened zoan stuff. The point is that with the sun god being known by groups like the Shandians and the Giant's maybe that smoky' ribbon thing made it into depictions. So Enel who not only took over the religous role of Skypeia, but also played amateur archeologist when he took apart the city of gold for his flying machine, would have seen depictions of all of their gods. So him deliberately giving himself the One Piece world equivalent of a divine halo makes sense.
Most normal Grand Line Review video during a break week
I think Ohara made a vid about this a year ago about the possibility of the D name and being Kalgara's offspring. Awesome to see it come to life.
Also the bouncing on the fluffy clouds reminds when Luffy bounces on the floor with Gear 5
You just gave us the Green Fairy effect this morning lmao
interesting he didnt mention the connection between Dragon and the god Quetzalcoatl possibly being his devil fruit.
I think Dragon’s tattoo is a reference to Song Jiang from Water Margin; he was a revolutionary against the Song Dynasty who led the bandits of the Liangshan Marsh, and he received a tattoo on his face when he was arrested, as was common practice with criminals at the time, before he escaped to lead the bandits.
Glad I just caught up on both HxH and One Piece
This theory feels like something that if you asked oda in an sbs his response would be something like "what any resembelance is totally coincidental" or "of course luffy is like gods he is nika after all"
Because the bell in Shandora is called the light of Shandora. I think that there will be something similar on top of the eve tree, perhaps a bronze gong, which when Luffy hits Imu into it will activate the original mother flame.
I've never heard this theory before, but I love it so much
Red hawk was my tipping point. We know there is a race that can control fire so when Luffy used Fire attacks i was convinced.
Grandline review at 8am on a Sunday? I watch.
Is it sad this guy has been my Sunday morning routine since he started doing this channel
Now this is the video I was looking for
Lets gooo, the king posted!
Another thing that catches my attention and that could give value to this theory is that on several occasions they refer to Zoro and Sanji as Luffy's "wings", the wings of the future king of the pirates. Or in this case the wings of Nika the sun god. So Luffy actually does have "wings", they just aren't physical.
