We Finally Know The Names & Powers Of The Gorosei

This one was seriously great! My chat was telling me to react to it as soon as we finished the chapter today and your kanji insights were super helpful! Great stuff!!! 👏

A Gorosei outside of Mariejois. We really are in the endgame of One piece. We are seeing two decades of buildup, world building, and plot developments, slowly come together. Egghead is goated 🔥

Oda: Dropping name of the elder Theory community: Alright boi, get to work, we get 10 years worth of information just dropped

Oda mentioned so many myths of the world and connected them in his story, it feels like he's not only explaining what the One Piece is, but how the whole world works

I feel very bad for those who will watch One Piece after it is finished because they will know the ending and they will not know the fun of making theories.

I believe the name Gorosei is also a reference to the spartan Gerousia, a group of noble elders that oversaw all political decisions and advised the TWO kings of sparta. I think this may imply that gorosei once served someone in addition to Imu

7:03 no way Ohara almost guessed the names of the gorosei correctly. You got 3/5 names right

Fun fact: Oda sensei used to have another penname called "Tsuki-Hi-Mizu-Ki-Kon-Dou(月火水木金土)" which means "moon-fire-water-wood-metal-earth" also as "Monday ~ Saturday". And obviously there was no "Sun/Sunday" in it. Interesting isn't it?

Just adding a footnote, one of Jerry Garcia's guitar was called Saturn. It had an inlay of the planet saturn on the cover

The Gorosei turning out to be good all along would be a REAL plot twist.

Possible inspiration for ONE PIECE, "Esteban, Child of the Sun". Hi all, Recently, I discovered an interesting correlation between ONE PIECE and an old japanese anime called "The Mysterious Cities of Gold" or " Esteban, Child of the Sun" that was uncannily similar to ONE PIECE. This series aired in Japan when Oda-sensei was around 7-8 years old for reference. The gist of the story is: The protagonist is a young boy called Esteban, who was saved in his childhood by a respected sailor that promised him to took him in his adventures (Shanks). This "Shanks" gave Esteban an amulet of great importance, much like how Shank's hat was given to Luffy Esteban sailed to the sea in order to find a city of gold considered a fantasy by people. The place he goes is called "The New World", and his ship had a lamb head in the front. During the voyage, he encounters a young girl called Zia: she's the only survivor of an old tribe capable of reading a forgotten language that's key to reveal the history of the world (poneglyph) and the location of the "City of gold". Her tribe was murdered by some mysterious brutal force, and her island was burned down to ashes. She ends up joining his adventure. The way to find this city of gold is exactly the same as Laugh Tale: finding four secret locations and connecting them on a map. In their adventure Zia got captured a few times, and was forced to read the ancient signs by malicious pirates. She then lied, in the same way Robin did. Over time, more people joined the crew. We meet people of all size and races, and experience unnatural sea phenomena (like sea currents capable of lifting ships through the air). In a point, Esteban got captured by a 100% woman Amazonian tribe that fight with bows and live with snakes. There it is revealed he has the capability of controlling the weather, something he does unintentionally. The Amazonians end up helping our protagonists, recognizing that strange phenomena as a prophecy of some kind. Zia's abilities eventually lead the crew to one of the "Ancient Weapons", a highly technologized ship with a tremendous power capable of navigating at amazing speeds. The ship has a lion head in the front. After all this events, we discover the culprits behind Zia's childhood tragedy: a powerful civilization of aliens established in the earth (They were called "OLMECS" literally "Rubber People"). They tortured and slaved people from all races, and exerted what's basically a global control over hundreds of years. Their interest: the city of gold and its treasure (an object, like ONE PIECE). We eventually end up arriving at this "Laugh Tale". In the entrance, we see a blocked door and a man with the mask of the sun god (we then discover this man is the father of our protagonist, and a member of an important cult dedicated to preserve the Ancient Kingdom). He then proceed to tell us the story of the ancient kingdom. The Ancient Kingdom was a highly technologized civilization of the past reduced to nothing by a war and the power of "ancestral weapons". Their civilization was built around the solar energy, so they were identified as the "sun people". They were the ones who built cities of gold around the world (each one being exactly like Shandora), but most of those cities were hided after the events that took place. We discover that this amulet "Shanks" gave to Esteban was the key to access the city of gold and its treasure (Laugh Tale & ONE PIECE). Meaning Roger and his crew were most likely locked out from the One Piece because Shanks had the key. Perhaps this is why they all laughed, after all the time and effort spent trying to find this treasure they weren’t even able to see it because the key was unknowingly entrusted to someone who wasn’t there. Roger said they arrived at the wrong time because he realized that the One Piece is only meant to be revealed to the world when someone with the Strawhat makes it to Laughtale. Once Esteban and his friends reached the city of gold (Laugh Tale), and this is pretty insane, we see nothing but a familiar background. This background is almost the same as the first ONE PIECE ending background, "MEMORIES", that being the same song we hear the moment Roger arrived at Laugh Tale. The “great treasure” found in the city of gold is a nuclear fusion reactor, which was greatly desired by the surviving Olmec elders from the ancient war (5 elders). A "great war" of all races against the world government eventually began (foreshadowed by the Grand Fleet) and "Dragon" sacrificing himself to protect what remained of the Ancient Kingdom and our protagonists being free to explore the sea. So what do you guys think? I definitely believe that Oda took inspiration as the similarities are too...similar. With recent theories such as the 5 elders being from the void century, many things are starting to line up. I believe this can be used in future theories, and can most likely be used to predict the end of One Piece.

the new spoilers are here and i immediately had to think of this video.... speechless

The Gorosei being neutral in the story and keeping balance while JoyBoy returns would be the BIGGEST plot twist in the History of plot twists

Okay I just clicked the video but i have a theory,what if one of the Gorosei is a traitor? If all the Gorosei have planets names,then what if one of them is named "Mercury" and that one will be the traitor cause Mercury as a planet is the closest to the "Sun"(Nika,Luffy),this is just my theory

Venus God of Finances… spot on…

Whether your theories are right or not, they are really well thought out. Props to you. Theories really add extra enjoyment to one piece

This makes the scene of imu looking at the frozen strawhat make so much sense. and makes me excited to see the origin of rogers/shanks/luffys hat

The first pirate book I read was treasure island. And the latest is one piece. I realise in every treasure hunting pirate story, it's not the treasure that matters but the story nearing it. The mystery behind charismatic characters such as long John silver and shanks fjorland. Honestly we know mysteries are one of the reasons one piece is so popular but from pirate fiction perspective, mysteries are essential for it.

It really makes sooo much sense👏 Thank you for making this video!!

Your videos rock, man. Keep 'em coming! 😃
