You'll never convert me to "Elbaph." I don't care if Oda himself decides to spell it that way. It's "Elbaf" forever in my heart. The fable will live on. ✊

Hey Morj, fan of the channel. Just some constructive feedback here from what I've noticed in a lot of your discussion videos- it appears that your talking points, while interesting, only hold weight for maybe 5-10 minutes. A lot of your details you tend to repeat to fill out a video's length. Like the first ten minutes is just you on loop about how Elbaph is big. Seems like a video that could've been cut in half and still retain all the important information. And this is a similar trait I've been seeing in your videos. Take this criticism for what you will- cheers!

Morj is the king of stretching a 10 min video to double that

[Xenit]

Morj said in his last stream that Wano lacks a clear main theme, so the Wano analysis is never going to be released. However, it's obvious that the main theme is identity or "the name." (The true Wano lies beneath the sea; Oden's most important moment is when he declares his name; the raid begins with the phrase sunnachi, meaning "forsake your name"; there’s the reveal of the true identity of the Gomu Gomu fruit and of Luffy as the one who brings the dawn of the world; Kaido repeatedly asks Momonosuke for his name, and Momo's character arc concludes with him declaring it to the rest of the country; the final panel contrasts Kurozumi and Oden. etc, etc.

This is a very well crafter theory, and you’ve somewhat convinced me. The one hole i see in this theory is that - for how well thought out you’re painting this setup to be - 800 years seems like a short time for giants to have developed a whole culture about what happened during the war. Giants live for hundreds of years, their chiefs are over 400 yo, therefore the war must have occurred 2/3 generations ago for them. Considering how Elbaf is being framed in the story and in this video I don’t think enough time has passed for this to be ancient fabled lore for the giants, it’s their recent past. They mights have been on Elbaf for a lot longer

Aktually, The ultimate safe ground are the sky islands🤓☝️

[sammyttheg]

Sufficiently well reasoned but I don't think this is correct. The fauna of Elbaph is equally large from cats to crickets. It seems much more likely to me that the tree itself is the reason for the gigantification of all the species on elbaph rather than the giants being invaders who conquered it

[logydogy]

I think it’s even more interesting when you recall what Vegapunk said about the mother flame, how it could bring an end to all wars. The ancient kingdom may have achieved this and perhaps imu used the ancient weapons/flooding to bring about circumstances that would lead to war in order to take advantage of the chaos and conquer the world.

[TheEvilRohanite]

Elbaph isn't just "known as" a warland, Warland is the actual name of the giant's country, while Elbaph is the island as a whole. It's written in English (ウォーランド Wōrando) the way loanwords tend to be used for names, rather than just as a word to describe the place.

[RaffDGoat]

I absolutely love the island design of Elbaph btw. 0:20 I mean just look at this, it’s beautiful. Can’t wait to get more shots of it in coming chapters.

[muflon]

I think it's also important to note that the capital of alabasta is elevated as well

[alexanderforrest]

Celestial Dragons: secure safety through treachery
Elbaph: secure safety through strength
Wano: secure safety through hard work (building the walls)

Pirate King: just float lol

[tenseihei]

You cooked Morj! Phenomenal breakdown!

[ΓιωργοςΦραγκιαδακης-μζ]

I always felt that since Egghead mirrored Sabaoby, Elbaf should be Impel Down: Yggrasil Realm=Hell Circles=9 . So if 2-3 are missing due to them being submerged it makes perfect sense so that the Arc doesn't get unnecessary big similar to The Prison.

The Wano Analysis is where Mr. Morj’s YouTube career began

[tysongoudie]

This vid aged insanely well with the new 1131 spoilers that just dropped

[mesan]

I’m still not used to the spelling being Elbaph and not Elbaf

[nilescho]

If this is true. And Elbaph is based off the Yggdrasil tree, it makes total sense why there would be different races on the tree as well. The Yggdrasil Tree housed Giants, Humans, Elves etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the Elbaph tree at a point in time housed Giants to humans to Tontattas to 3 eyed or even Longarm tribe members

[ghstdog]

I love the idea of a "free for all" at Wano. It parallels one of Oda's comments from a few years ago, about what was coming up in the story

[mckasseyparker]

You still got sky islands, Zou, Fishman island. Maybe another thriller bark?
