Oda’s Statement About Kaido’s Defeat Explained!
I’ve read so many comments about this “big punch” that Luffy’s using to clash with Kaido, saying that it cannot be the one to end the fight, or that it would be disappointing if it did because Oda said it shouldn’t. I kinda disagree, and for me to explain why, we need to go back […] More

One Piece Manga Covers suggest the importance of the connection between Shanks and Blackbeard!
Shanks and Teach have, as of volume 96, appeared on five volume covers each. They also happen to be the same five volumes: 25, 45, 59, 95, and 96. So Shanks and Teach have always appeared together on the five volume covers they’re each featured in. One has never appeared on a cover without the other, and I doubt that’s […] More

A Small Detail Missed in Chapter 1048!
Luffy’s fist looked much smaller compared to Kaido in Chapter 1048 than it did in Chapter 1047. I thought Oda might’ve nerfed the size of it a bit, but nope. If you look closely, the real Kaido is inside his new form Kaen Daiko. Kaido breathes a large amount of flames from his mouth, forming […] More

Kaido’s Motivations, Secrets and Unparalleled Ramifications with other Characters!
First and foremost we’ve got to remind ourselves that the point of this arc (and saga) is to establish Luffy and co. as formidable pirates with Luffy perhaps even surpassing the Yonko title to become a “Great Pirate”. But more or equally as important, it’s meant to be the beginning of the end. In the […] More

Oda’s amazing attention to details in Chapter 1048!
Chapter 1048 is very thematic, it revolves around fire and freedom. From the start, Kaido sets himself on fire and announces that Wano’s hero burned to death. We proceed to a flashback that takes us to the burning castle, the beginning of the slavery, we are shown everything Kaido and Orochi have done to this […] More

Oda’s Symbolism in Chapter 1048
I understand why people think this chapter filler-like if you are not enthusiastic about culture. However, I believe Chapter 1048 is much more meaningful to Japanese readers, because it actually elaborates the cultural & historical importance of Japan Fire Festival by using the perspective of Wano background. People pray for bumper harvest, peace and health […] More

Why it will be Zoro vs Kizaru and Sanji vs Ryokugyu
When discussing potential Straw Hats vs Marines matchups, the most common matchups people make are: Luffy vs Akainu Zoro vs Fujitora Sanji vs Kizaru Someone else vs Green Bull While Luffy vs Akainu makes complete sense, the other 3 does not make much sense in my head. Reasons Oda always places the Monster Trio on […] More

Proof Kaido hasn’t shown his Devil Fruit Awakening yet!
One of the prevailing and more confusing aspects concerning this arc and the story are the concept of Zoan awakenings. During the rooftop battle between Kaido and Luffy, many think that Kaido’s already utilized this asset of his Devil Fruit. However, the evidence is on the contrary. First introduced during Impel Down by Crocodile, awakenings […] More

Blackbeard, the Son of Rocks D. Xebec
According to chapter 957, Rocks D. Xebec was one of the first people whom had a name featuring the “D.” Initial. Blackbeard is known as the one and only Marshall D. Teach. My theory is that Blackbeard is Rocks D. Xebec’s son. Blackbeard has a strong belief in fate and the dreams of men, truly […] More
