Fujitora: Let me call a metor strike real quick Celestial Dragons: But that's gonna kill us. Fujitora: Exactly. I see nothing wrong with that.

Really does show that we are in the endgame, when Oda doesn't leave us in the dark and actually shows us what Sabo has to say!

destroying food supplies is lowkey goated when besieging a city is the vibe

Vivi going full girl boss on Lucci and telling him to get bent was something I never knew I needed to see.

I was really happy at the Sabo line, because it was finally showing a bit of teeth to the Revolutionaries. That faction's needed something to differentiate themselves from the nicer pirate crews for ages and the steps taken in this chapter, being willing to starve people out and seeing Cobra's death as a net gain, imply a ruthlessness and a big picture viewpoint that are potentially at odds with the Strawhat philosophy and One Piece's core thesis. I don't know if there's room for a debate or disagreement at this late date but I'd love to see something come of the strained ambivalence Luffy and his father have had towards each other all series.

The whole interaction between the admirals feels very 'let me loudly explain why things are going down like this for the benefit no one in particular, turns to camera and winks' 😂

It’s crazy to me that Big News Morgans is the one “person” who has driven the biggest events in One Piece. If it weren’t for him this story would look very very different.

I might be misremembering, but I swear they already stated that the admirals couldn't go all out because they were protecting the Celestial dragons. A vague memory tells me it was Garp on Fishman Island who said it, but I am not sure.

If Shanks really does end up coming from Celestial Dragon heritage, I could see him having an unknown brother that grew up with the World Nobles and became a soldier

Oda can't keep blue balling us like this 😭😭 We need MORE info immediately, I'm so glad we're not on break next week

The Doflamingo cover page is a nice reference to his status. He sees himself on the fallen bird. Once up high up the tree/red line living as a god and now down on the earth unable to return back to its nest.

I didn't think the ending was bland at all, in fact it almost made me cry. Because it felt like Cobra was truly saying "I know I will die, there's no use staying to save me. Just go protect my daughter".

I have no objections to a new enemy faction being introduced for the last major fight in the story. Can’t just have loyal admirals and CP.

I feel like it's so impressive that Odas world building was so good that basically no one questioned an entire new faction being introduced this late into the game with basically no foreshadowing.

The whole siege tactic on Mary Goose makes me wonder about Luffy's reaction to it. While the nobles are in fact terrible people, they are still bystanders in a greater battle. Luffy wants everyone to eat and party, so I can't help but feel that he's going to have some kind of problem with this choice of warfare.

Greenbull: Summoning a meteor could kill the celestials, Fugitora! How could be so blind to the situation here!? Fugitora: *silence*

Also surprised when it continued from 1082 ngl. But I guess since we're getting closer to the end there would be no point in living such cliffhangers anymore imo.

I got massive „The Truth of the Reverie, Part 1“ vibes from this chapter. Which isn‘t a Bad thing, sometimes what you want to tell just exceeds your limited amount page space.

It would be funny if Luffy actually defends the world nobles against his father's tactics. I think he wouldn't want anyone to starve no matter who they were.

I love how Fujitora was like screw it all I'm dropping bombs right here right now and Aramaki like nah broh then Oda blue balling us again giving us more questions than answers lol plus awesome to see the rest of CP9 again as CP0 also Sabo with a few good men did that thang

I think one piece will become a piece of art that will be studied for generations to come in the literary world, and oda definitely deserves every bit of that praise and title 🙌

Favorite revelation of this chapter, and there were a lot of them, was Karasu's Devil Fruit. Soot is definitely a substance that can be generated, manipulated, and can become useful in the right hands, much more substantial than actual birds for transport too. Speaking of fruit, that tactical move to destroy food supply channels to Marie Joie was genius, utilizing the tactics they use to deprive the world of resources against them, among other things to subvert and subdue the current governmental system. Poor Cobra, lying dead on the ground, but hurrah for Morgans publishing the story that created another emperor for our final battle roster, "Flame Emperor" Sabo. P.S. I wonder if we will ever return to the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia series. Trebol's Betta Betta no Mi is by no means where the entries end. We have seen at least 11 impressive fruits in Whole Cake Island alone that have not been covered yet; Pekoms and Baron Tamago's fruits are already there, but we only know as much as we do about them because of their use in the Whole Cake Island arc.

I love the fact that they showed dragons strategy wasn’t to just attack with brute force and just win by being stronger then them I love that they showed that he’s actually a strategic and smart leader that actually understands war. Unfortunately most movies or shows just depict armies winning by being better fighters or they only show the battles and nothing else that happens during a war but many battles and wars were won without even fighting,they were won with tactics like the ones dragon is employing such as harassing their supply lines and using propaganda to turn allies against them so he’s cutting off tony only their food supplies but also their finances. I really like that oda showed this because these issues r a huge part of war and most shows and movies don’t show u this. This is a huge reason y I loved game of thrones as well because instead of just showing the cool battles and the hero winning wars they showed the tedious side of being a king like dealing with financial troubles and the bickering of the lords under your control. Also during the war between the steaks and Lannister’s they showed how even though Robb never lost a battle he was losing the war because his men were disgruntled and demoralized. Again not only does this show the realities of war but it also shows that dragon isn’t a great leader just because he’s the most powerful and he isn’t gonna win just because he can physically win in a fight but because he understands how to wage war and strategize and he understands the psychology of people.

Oh I do love the Deep Space 9 reference. One of the absolute best Star Trek episodes in the franchise. The ending, with Sisko deadpanning into the camera, still gives me chills.

Fujitora was like “I’ve about mcfucking had it” ☄️

I don't want Shanks becoming a villain but I can see him becoming one and it scares me

That Imu grin at the end while holding the planet… 🔥🔥

as good as the chapter is for the revolutionary army my favourite part was seeing all the other members of cp9, such an emotional reference for me. I love all those characters and their unique designs, powers and personalities

It’s honestly pretty bad situation for Fuji and Greenbull. I think Aokiji or Kizaru if dispatched to the holy land has a better time simply because their powers can be isolated. Fuji and greenbull would struggle as they are more AOE attacks. Still Greenbull shouldn’t have struggled cause of his roots but somehow he did 😭😂

One Piece Fans: "So uh Oda what you got for us this week?" Oda: I've been holding 9 new characters for the final war : "One Piece is ending in 3 years!"

Am I the only one who thought Cobra was secretly Imu and was just really good at hiding it from Vivi and everyone else. I mean his family was originally world nobles and "turned it down", what if instead he became Imu.

"...The ever terrifyingly present Emu." Famous last words

Don't let the Shanks Shadow figure distract you from the fact that Oda is trying to make a new character similar to him to put off Shanks isn't Evil. When really he is!!!

Karasu seems to be all about Power scaling. He deserves Jack's bounty if he gets an updated one because of this chapter.

I actually like that Oda is jumping from one location to another. This might be the first time we see what's happening outisde of the Strawhat's journey.

In that picture in the newspaper, it looks like sabo is defending cobra. The gorosei must have attacked him and sabo stepped in to save his life

That CPT Sisko episode “The Pale Moonlight” is still one of my favorite episodes. F morality, we need to win this war.

My favorite part was seeing Fujitora charge his CO Power Second favorite part was imagining the celestial dragons suffering. Which is an awful thing to think! But it just shows how well they're written as heels!

I think this chapter could be Oda taking the opportunity to get some annoying fan discourse of his chest. The dialogue between the admirals can be seen as a middle finger to people arguing it's bad writing that the admirals couldn't handle the revolutionary force, and if subsequently the silhouette turns out not to be Shanks or a clone it could be Oda poking fun at the Evil Shanks theory

I am so glad that Robin's brother got a promotion. He really deserved it. The whole family is doing great.

Idk what to make of the Holy Knights. It looks like it could be Shanks, but the end scabbard for his sword has an extra piece on it and the handle seems to have an extra piece too above it. It does kinda look like the Red Haired Pirates, except the very tall one has an antenna or hair sticking out so maybe its Lucky Roux with his bandana sticking out of the knot. Go look at the pictures and the tall Knight on the far left looks like Bonk Punch with Monster on his shoulders minus the tail, and the one below that looks like Yasopps hair. It should be noted Oda does alter his original silhouettes a little from their first appearances, and this could be a redirection to clones of all of the emperors of the sea plus Rocks and Rogers or 2 others that Shanks had to possibly overtake like Luffy has done to Big Mom and Kaido. Could also be spies from around the world on top pirate crews/some of the top knights in the world for individual kingdoms. I have a feeling we know who some of them are though. Then again at this point I've been wondering if Oda is using this time to really mess with readers a couple last times, I think one of his favorite things is to make the online community wild with conspiracies just for him to smack us upside the faces with a dose of Oda reality.

It would make so much sense if Shanks was part of the holy knights and it would make sense as to why Shanks can just walk in and talk to the 5 elders

Man I'm giving you 1000000000% respect for knowing that captain sisko reference. That speech was epic👌

What if Nefertari Cobra, Committed Suicide? Because the five elders wanted to gain access to the poneglyph, special hieroglyphs, that lead to the location of Pluton?

Good times. GOOD times! Can’t wait for next week. Digging the mystery vibes from the story recently. And as always! Dig the videos

Remember when we used to wait for "MONDAY" to hear GLR review the Latest chapter? Thats how good Egghead is!

Lucci seemed troubled by something, is it that Vivi is telling him off, or that he was pissed he was forced to be the Nobles puppet during the Shirahoshi incident?

In chap 434 WB says that his wound starts itching as soon as he sees Shanks face cause he reminds him of "that guy". Could he refer to the holy knight we saw as a Shanks looking silouette? Who knows, Oda ofc :))

Karasu being a soot logia was a nice revelation. I wonder if his fruit is the logia that is above Crocodile's sand logia in the hierarchy of powers like magma being stronger than fire, ice stronger than snow, etc... My initial reaction was to think of the soot fruit being more along the lines of Smoker's power, but I think that the smoke power is probably going to be treated more like the inferior version of Caesar's gas fruit. And the soot particles in this chapter did look a bit sand-ish when Karasu reformed his body. But I could have this completely wrong or backwards. Regardless, very cool devil fruit and the way Karasu uses the power is incredibly unique!

What if this Holy Knight is Cavandish, Hakuba version of Cavendish is a Holy Knight, thatswhy he was so strong.

I'm currently taking a poop, never a better time for a one piece video

I’d imagine all Logia can speak in their element forms, Karasu is just shaping the soot like a crow. Still waiting for an Ash Logia

7:46 That murcrow in the back is out to get all the competitive pokemon players in op verse Damn!!

I was shocked by the ending because it might mean the Five Elders or even IM are the most likely candidates to assassinate Cobra! I always thought it would be an assassin, some character we never met, but the idea it was on of them was surprising to me

braaahther idk if you edited it or maybe your annunciation/articulating is just really good but the CC/Subtitles are on point! literally they were done perfecto without-o uno momento of confusion

Fun zoology fact, corvids are very capable of human speech in fact they have very good memory for sounds and voice recognition as well of being capable of recognizing people that have helped them in the past making them friendly to humans. This also apply the other way so, yes crows can very much hate someone in specific and they will tell other crows about it, never get in a crows bad side.

The holy knights could be the red haired pirates cause the front character looks like shanks and the "swirls" are similar than rhe ones in beckmans coat

I really hope the official translation of "God's Knight" isn't "Holy Knights" because that's giving me Seven Deadly Sins flashbacks. I just hear Elizabeth screaming "Meliodas-sama" louder than Orihime screams "Kurosaki-kun."

One of my favorite things about one piece is how deep we the community take theories and connections. And I'm almost positive half of them are just coincidence on odas part or he only made the 2 things connect so it would make sense like he didn't plan on said connection being as mind blowing as we end up making it. Like with the silhouettes we're all freaking out and oda just wants to draw probably a couple serious looking guys and a couple funny looking guys. Classic one piece energy

There’s actually a 10th Holy Knight silhouette. His head is visible in the crease of the double speech bubble.

I just liked how in the translation that i read Morley straight up looks at Greenbull and just goes, "ew, why is this boy so angry all the time?" lol

Soot (or volcanic ash) can generate static electricity when rubbing together. This is probably the explanation for the soot telephone.

To be fair, Kingdom deals with the resource management of war all the time. Then again, Kingdom is considered seinen and not shonen.

My only concern is that after facing TWO admirals, dragon says "The REAL fight starts now" which clearly indicates the admirals are clearly losing their credibility in the story.

The Holy Knights sillouttes really look like the Red Hair Pirates, tbh it thematically makes sence with the roger shanks in a chest post godvalley in which we were told was full of world nobels, and also the big round silloutte in the top right-hand corner is a dead giveaway to me as it looks a lot like Lucky Roux.

I’m excited to see how Wapol ends up with Vivi at Morgan’s hideout. Gotta see how that bunglenut gets munchin’

The Silouette is Shanks' twin brother, calling it now. Setting up a mirror match with Shanks would be one of the most series defining battles possible. Especially because I see Shanks joining the race to warn everyone ABOUT the Holy Knights.

Have you guys ever heard of the "Nine Worthies" Here's what wikipedia says about them: The Nine Worthies are nine historical, scriptural, and legendary men of distinction who personify the ideals of chivalry established in the Middle Ages, whose lives were deemed a valuable study for aspirants to chivalric status. All were commonly referred to as 'Princes', regardless of their historical titles. In French they are called "Les Neuf Preux" or "Nine Valiants" The Nine Worthies include three pagans (Hector, Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar), three Jews (Joshua, David and Judas Maccabeus) and three Christians (King Arthur, Charlemagne and Godfrey of Bouillon). I think it suits quite well the thematic of knight, and Godhood, and I wonder if Oda will take inspiration from this.

Your Shank-shaped silhouette rendition had a left arm. Which gave it a definite evil clone vibe.

I gotta say that I love how you review One Piece. It is really entertaining!

Age of Empires 1 at min 2:48 amazing u showed the original. Got me super nostalgic seeing it after so many years man ur amazing

The reverie to me is similar to pre timeskips build up of ace vs blackbeard a secondary story in the background of the main story that eventually comes back to effect the main story

One piece is literally just a graphic novel playground for oda. Such a big fan base and longevity. He can create whatever, whenever he wants and bring it back up. So many sub plots. Gets intimidating but hard bot to get invested in.

That's actually awesome that Karisu is a logia user, that explains things easier. I can sleep well tonight knowing the answer to that mystery finally

I can't believe that it's been five years since reverie and now we finally got the answer. At that time I just started my university and now I am looking for job.

anybody else notice that most logia's have some animal theme to them? - Magu Magu no Mi - Dogs & Hounds, specifically Dogs - Hie Hie no Mi - Pheasants, Birds, etc - Susu Susu no Mi (Soot-Soot Fruit) - Crows - Goro Goro no Mi - Dragons huh...not that much, but still surprising

A proper ending at last. Usually every videos are cut mid sentence or even mid word. I always found that funny.

That's a great point, that is a very similar feeling to Captain Sisko's I can live with it speech!

I found it suprising how green bull talked to a celestial dragon angry. And not as a human toilet

Black Leg Vinsmoke's channel brought up the Shanks Clone/Twin angle as well and even went to say that the person who we thought was speaking to the 5 Elders wasn't Shanks at all stating that the way he's shown in panel we couldn't see his scar.

With Shanks having family ties to the world nobles the silhouette could be a family relation like a cousin or something of the likes.

Love the video and keep up the good work liam

They promoted every member of CP9 to CP0. Which is a little odd since it implies CP9 as a government unit no longer exists.

I think Shanks has a twin/clone, because when "Shanks" visited the Gorosei, Oda chose to hide his most recognizable feature, his scar.

"in stories when handling wars authors usually focus on the fight battling" Meanwhile me, as having read Kingdom, where a literal arc at its core revolves around a starvation speedrun: pffff

Vivi being super savage in this chapter. Vivi Rocks Lucci Shocks😂😂

I agree about CP0. I get the feeling they're more or less like agents or spies, that have power to be sure, but more emphasis on infiltration and stealth. I expect the Holy Knights to be powerhouses. With more emphasis on fight-battling, more like the Admirals

Next chapter… I’m so ready to see IMU. Ever since IMU has been introduced I’ve literally been like that’s the finally villain. There is something haunting about him/her and I can’t wait to get some major truth bombs next chapter in relation to poneglyphs/void century. (That’s clearly what Cobra is asking about as he stated on their ship headed to the Reverie before Whole Cake). Ever since the conversation with Nico Robin at the end of Alabasta, it seems it’s been really bugging Cobra. And considering that the Nefertiti Family is the only one of the 20 founding families of the the World Government that didn’t stay in Marie Jois they clearly aren’t fond of them to begin with.

So, Karasu has a soot logia that he can finely control to the point of making animals that can talk. I’m guessing that means that Prince Grus’ clay fruit is also a logia, thought not sure

In the pale moonlight - one of the best Star Trek episodes ever

Nice shout out to DS9, and nice to see the other former agents of CP9.

Yessir new chapter

Crows in real live can mimic human speech by pushing air through their beak like an instrument. It’s the same why most birds make noise so that’s likely how the soot crows speak too. That and with kin’Amons fart talking ability being a thing I think it works lol

9:55 Kuma in timbs was something I never thought I needed to see, haha!

When I saw the silhouettes, i was in shock. Many people, that i follow, are talking about how one of the said silhouettes looks like Shanks, but all i could think of was shanks reunion with the five elders. Like i know that's probably Shanks (but what if it was a twin or something)

0:00 bro holy crap has it really been 5yrs since the battle on Mariejois debuted?!

With this many big players in this saga, the final war gonna take years to write, still so much more one piece to go

Dragon: What do you say about this newspaper? Sabo: IT'S A FAAAAAAAAKEEEEE~

I can't believe that dude survived our first encounter with chopper monster point. I mean he launched that dude halfway across ennis lobby lol

Best way to describe this chapter is organized chaos.
