The most frustrating thing about ZKK and the insistence that "Zoro has to kill a dragon because Ryuuma did it" is that Zoro already DID kill a dragon, exactly the way Ryuuma did, all the way back in Punk Hazard. It already happened, years ago. It didn't need to happen again. The "parallel" was already fulfilled.

The good ol' days of mr morj trying to make everyone believe that the raid is gonna fail fs

The ZKK theory was actually insufferable. I remember people saying that Kaido would get back up after the bajrang gun and Zoro would somehow get up to finish off kaido, despite the fact that bro was out cold and on death’s door after his fight with king. The ZKK believers refused to let it go until Wano entered post arc territory.

I've got a theory! The entire One Piece fandom secretly ate the Speculate-Speculate Fruit.

6:38 honestly, sea prism stone sandals wouldn’t even have been close to the dumbest thing in one piece. If Reighley had been a kick based fighter like Sanji, it would have made some sense.

Lliams channel artists do such amazing work. I don't think a single would feel the same without them

I swear, "Kaido is a ponelgylyph" is what's in Laugh Tale. That shit's hilarious 🤣

You always throwing shade at Morj LMAO

I remember when Morj first thought up the whole raid failing thing and thought to myself this, "The island is in the sky heading toward the capital, why should it fail?"

Mr. Morj is probably loving the thumbnail in this video. He held on the longest that the Raid would fail! 😂

The fact that fans believed the raid would actually fail is a compliment to oda's writing i think

A year later and Morj still getting flexed on. If you're going to fail, make it legendary.

Man, back when everyone was putting out theories about Sabo.. Those were the times. I started reading around the time Punk Hazard was near it's conclusion, so the theories were flying left and right.

Honestly, I feel the Found Family themes is why the Biological Family theories are so popular. If you find a family, you can tell a good story with what the Biological Family is like, whether good or bad. Especially with things like Ace's family line, and Garp.

The fixation on family is precisely because the focus is on found family. Because to many people, the idea of blood family not mattering is just plain out weird. So although they are fine with those not being big part of the story, they at least want to know!

Thank goodness the raid didn't fail, another 2+ years of Wano would've been a nightmare 😭

I never believed in the "Meadows is Kaido" theory, but the way the fans believed it legit made me Robin face at the time.

I think the worst idea inflicted on us is the Sanji is a devil fruit theory. Durrrr Sanji eyebrows are swirly. Devil fruits have swirls therefore Sanji is a devil fruit. Like what?! There were legit people mad at the live action Sanji not having swirls because it got in the way of the world’s dumbest theory.

The theme of Found Family is SO prevalent, the reveals of biological parentage is usually met with either outright rejection by the child or otherwise completely irrelevant. Ace refuses to acknowledge Roger, Sanji justifiably LOATHS Judge, Luffy may or may not have ever had a single conversation with Dragon, Ussop kinda sorta looks up to his dad's accomplishments (?) but the guy himself is secondary to his own dream, Nami's are (probably) dead, Chopper's are deer, and Franky, Brooks, Jimbei's aren't even brought up in even a passing mention of any sort. There are precisely 3 times (that I can think of at the moment **EDIT** Thanks commenters! A couple that I forgot: Rebecca/Kyros along with Neptune+Otohime and their children, so that brings us up to 5 examples) a POSITIVE biological parent/child relationship is relevant to the story: Robin, Vivi, and Momonosuke/Hiyori. Robin's love for her mother, egged on by her mother's inability to keep a poker face, leads to Robin's damning admission that she can read poneglyphs resulting in her life-long manhunt. Meanwhile, King Cobra's influence develops Vivi into a respectable monarch and results in her directly taking on the task to uncover Crocodile's plot by entering the Baroque Works organization as a double agent. And in Momo+Hiyori's case, BOTH parents were massively influential in their upbringing, though short lived, and could be an entire essay on it's own but ultimately lead both to do everything in their power to bring about Oden's dream (eventually) and helping the Strawhats bring about the end of Orochi and Kaido's reign in Wano. Also, the less said about the Parent-Child relations of the villains in the series the better. Big Mom and Kaido are obviously awful parents.

Give Morj his flowers. He planted his cross on the Raid Will Fail hill and sat on it right till the end.

People thought wano would be a 5 act structure rather than a 3 act structure, in which tragedy is in the 3rd act, success in the 4th act, and a swift conclusion. I think it was called "Jou Ha Kyuu"? Something like that. That was basically the only thing even suggesting the raid would fail.

The failed theory that brings me joy is Morj's raid failing theory 😂 he convinced so many fools by his sheer confidence and he was completely wrong

my favorite theory/joke/meme that was going around 4chan around the time Dressrosa happened, was that Kaido had a "Duck Logia" devilfruit. That became extra funny when karasu was introduced and it appeard as if he had eaten a "crow logia" devilfruit, which, of course, was later reveald to be the "soot-soot fruit"

Here's one. The final stone inscription is actually on the strawhat. It's the red band around his hat.

Return to Reverie: *exist* Oda: "Imma do what's called a pro-gamer move."

The Raid failing theory wasn't just bad, it evolved into something truly toxic and shows why you should never invest to.much in your own dumb little theory.

Looking for a second part in a few years when we can finally laugh at all the "robin is lffy's sister" and "crocomom" guys

I love your videos Liam, I will always go to you for my fictional pirate theories and lore. Such as, what if those large shadows from Thriller Bark Arc at the end were those ominous shadows the elder stars or somethings related to them?

My favorite theory is that of time travel, where the strawhats will go back to the void century to do stuff, then come back to current time to finish things off.

Oda will only do the unexpected if it makes sense storywise. He also avoids lazy writing like kaido being a poneglyph. Oda has established himself as a great writer, lets not trust random youtubers who claim to have found what the one piece is.

Theories is one of my favorite parts of One Piece. Only downside is the part of the fandom that say bad story if their prediction doesn’t come through😂

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I cant forget when Joy Boy was convinced that Zoro would leave the crew after Whole Cake Island Arc, because Sanji disrespected Luffy and kept on pushing that theory even after it was beyond clear that it wasnt going to happen

To this day the mere mention of ZKK makes me laugh to no end, it and the mental gymnastics that explained it were ridiculous.

I remember ZKK and when people were convinced Kaido was getting back up. And I'm like, "That seemed pretty definitive to me.." 😂 I just am never prepared for how emotional and angry people get when defending their clearly messed up theories, after they've been disproven even lol! If what they said was gonna happen does not happen, it is then bc of bad writing and so on 😂 It's kind of funny ngl

Raid Failing is the funniest one to me still but there's tons and glad you put this out there

Your editors/artists are great.

Blood logia honestly has a lot of potential. The regular form of it might just be similar to water (which still isn't an awful ability), but an awakened version could very well confer abilities similar to blood bending which even at this point in the story would be an incredibly deadly power.

Probably the most insufferable theory I heard was the “Raid will fail”, because it’s fun to throw theories around but indeed, it just got weird… like KZfaqrs would go on half hour tangents when discussing new chapters about it, and since they’re new videos you have to sit through the whole darn thing, waiting for them to talk about the chapter again… THEN IT ENDS! I mean it wasn’t a bad idea, in fact afore Gear 5th was teased I was in emotions cuz all that effort the straw hats went through would be going down…the Samurai perhaps mass-boiled, Flower Capital Destroyed, Momonosuke executed as well… it looked to me for a moment things were gonna take an incredibly dark turn! But Oda shifted as always! 😁 but, they kept going and going, even during the part chapters! It was ridiculous and almost embarrassing!

Mr Morj and his fanbase of nonbelievers

my favorite (probably bogus theory) is that Zoro died off screen on Wano. him suddenly encounter the grim reaper before the cutaway, I see as a split second representation of Zoro being caught off guard by something he perceived as lethal, it might not even really be a reaper it could be an assassin or even an explosion, the reaper was just a framing device to spark intrigue without giving it away or making it seem to jarring to cut away from. Through some means we aren't aware of yet, my assumption would be Zoro's yet untouched on Curse, he manages to claw back control of his body, essentially becoming a living corpse. There's examples of other characters being able to reclaim their bodies through various means, namely Brook and Lao G and it would retroactively reinforce "Death on Wano" as well as Zoro's King of Hell title being one of the few people to climb out of Hell. It's not thoroughly thought out, but I like it.

I really wanted Paulie as a strawhat

I remember being on Arlong Park when Water 7 was being read weekly. Pauline was the obvious choice for the shipwright thanks to his quirky personality and the fact he would prove to be another foil to Sanji. It literally took Franky’s backstory to kill that theory, especially since Pauline was in that flashback.

Only a few theories I know about because you've covered them before but some of these damn near made my eyes roll out of my head lol

You missed one more theory from the previous arc. “Yamato joining the crew” I was against him/her joining, not because I dislike the character, it’s just how they was introduced(late) and presented(overpowered) and carried themselves(the oden thing). It didn’t seem like a strawhat material

Robin may have never harmed he Strawhats directly, but she did attempt to kill Vivi's friend and guardian, Igaram. Had Igaram not survived, I wouldn't have been cool with Robin joining, so Igaram is the one character that doesn't belong in the 'should've died' category.

Begging for people to realize that art and sketches doesn't always mean they're related or canon to the main material.

2:49 should've zoomed in on nami in the colorspread when you said "but(t)" LUL

Mr. Morj (one year later after Wano ended): "Here's how the raid will still fail."

So many theories and head canons debunked by Oda himself.

100% this is why MR. Morj is practically unwatchable now.

GrandLineReview da real CHAD!!

Keep up the awesome work and videos Liam

Mr Morj raid failure theory

I have this thing that is called “The 4 Great Wano Theory Fails”. 4 theories from different OP-Tubers that I follow (some what) who had strong theories from the Wano arc that didn’t end up happening. The theories are: 1. “Kaido is a Dragon” by Takking101, who states that Kaido was an ancient dragon who ate the Oni-Oni Fruit 2. “Toki was Komurasaki” by Grand Line Review, who, dissatisfied with the sudden personality shift that Hyori took, thought that Komurasaki was actually Toki to explain the inconsistency 3. “The Raid Will Fail” from Mr Morj, who spearheaded the theory. 4. “Yamato for Straw Hat” from RogerBase, who, confident about his prediction, made a bet with fans in the instance that he was wrong

Awesome video! Do this but only the ones you’ve speculated on. Been watching forever, you’ve had a few out there theories ha

Excellent video. Got me smiling in 7-11.

Zoro fans were really getting ahead of themselves thinking he could take on a yonko by himself at his current level. When people constantly favour one character that goes against the storyline pattern it makes it more difficult to discuss the anime with them.

We need a video about all the parent theories of One Piece. With a single family tree, if every theory was right.

another point people used for the "kaido is a poneglyph" argument is that big mom said kaido owed her, and many theorized that the reason he owed her is because she gave him (the poneglyph) a soul with the use of her devil fruit

I was surprised you didn't talk about the gear 5 resin theories at all, though I guess they aren't the most ridiculous and got disproven quickly. great video

I miss MrMorj running with his wild theory😂

8:30 Other theories that I remember being correct were Blackbeard not sleeping and Momonosuke's fruit being considered a failure because of wrong color. The Blackbeard one, in particular, was quite a long shot. Luffy made a random comment to Sanji during Drum Island saying that people from cold countries do not sleep, and that he heard that from a guy in a bar. The "guy in a bar" should be shanks, and Blackbeard as a kid is drawn on a cold place and awaken at night. This was very far fetched but turned out to be exactly the case.

Love your videos

Your videos are unique and a lot of thought is put upon it. This video is quite unexpected but highly enjoyable, good stuff

A lot of the good theories really kept me on my toes reading every chapter every week. I’m not gonna lie we need a lot more ballsy theories to keep Oda s creativity flowing

Morj convinced me of the raid failing through sheer volume of mentions in his videos lol that was a fun era

Oh my God, I'd forgotten about picnic with zombies 🤣🤣🤣 those forums were wild hahaha

Mr. Morj is shaking in a closet somewhere whispering, “it can still fail. It can still fail.”

thank you GrandLineReview for showing us: "The Video We Deserve."

I was actually a huge fan of the Kaido-Poneglyph idea back in the day because it was just SO bizarre. Sure it had zero evidence but the idea was so weird that it would’ve fit right into One Piece

Great episode.

Never heard of the poneglyph eating a devil fruit theory before 😂 that would have been amazing

I need a new dude in a room video!!!!!

I remember during the early days of one piece a lot of people were sold into the idea that Logia fruits were vastly superior than the other 2 types. I mean that was the information we had at the time but there were some very strong characters without a fruit let alone a logia fruit and some people actually believed that these guys would run away from someone like Smoker because they can’t get a solid hit on him.

I’ve never heard of any of these theories. I’m grateful for reading OP & never engaging in the community discussions 😂

Nice vid

The most saddening theory was the new nakama after wano, we were expecting either carrot or yamato to join the crew, but neither did.

Fun fact, "Monsters" is getting a one shot episode next year! really excited to see it

6:00 I literally spat out my food. Im crying laughing

Morj stays catching Ls for this one

The one piece is REAL!!!!!!!!!

Raid failing made Wano more fun at the time. Gave it an uncertainty the story itself didn’t have

Give us more of this please

Hello there!!! Let's go for the video

I feel like the attachment to the idea of the raid failing even as the beast pirates kept being defeated was desperately wanting some sort of tension in the final battle. Luffy not returning so suddenly before gear 5 would've worked fine imo if Kaido had gone on to cause some havoc before Joyboy showed up. Then everyone would've been happy, there was the tension the raid failing people wanted, and we wouldn't have to wait another year for an entire second raid. It's just that people associated tension with=the raid failing, so they kept saying the raid will fail even up to the last minute

We just need Crocomom to be real

Kaidows best Theory ever.

7:13 "Quick Shakky, get the mirror sandles!!"

The funniest part of morj and the raid failing to me is how morj copes with it now when it’s brought up during his streams where he claims “well, I-I guess oda just wanted to write a different kind of arc when it came to Wano” and then goes into a 15 minute schpeel about “what tension actually is” As if Wano wasn’t just your typical kingdom arc in one piece, just at a larger scale or if the tension of the potential future of the SHs actually dying or being enslaved by Kaido to do slave labor in udon prison for him to continue his weapons manufacturing and trade with the WG, was laid on so goddamn thick you could taste it.

I still remembered all the steam punk Sabo designs.

9:41 This is one of the most essential oddnesses of Oda's storytelling (deliberately, pointlessly withholding info, which often is very trivial, in favour of non-stop teasing and cliffhangers), and it barely ever gets criticized. With the sole exception of "silhouettes".

That thumbnail😂

5:48 tbf shepherd is called sanjis uncle 💀

@grandlinereview The Kaido one was funny! On that note, don't you think the idea that a person could be related to the last poneglyph is worth thinking about? Something like a tattoo on someone's back. Food for thoughts

I saw the title and thought Mr Morj killed your and took over the channel 😂

lol, you using that fusing effect all the time in this felt like a recurring joke

I really want a Kaido-glyph shirt now

11:45 Yesss! This! Just. Yes.. 😂

There's an interesting fact about the Picnic With Zombies color spread, though. With what's visible, you can make out that the shirt Zoro's wearing says "El que rie último, rie mejor" which is "he who laughs last, laughs best" in spanish. And considering what's going on in 944 with the smiles, and Killer being a pleasure, I'd say it's either crazy foreshadowing or a crazy coincidence.

Vinsmoke Killer and Bellamy was from Rogersbase, I remember the video :D
