Oda just pulled off one of the best character introductions in the entire story… 27 years in he’s still able to do this 😭 GODAAAA

[XxHrallundeadrogueXx]

Jarul as a kid could have met Giants that were around during the Void Century, now thats some insane stuff!

[TheWarmachine]

The rejection by Lola hurt Loki so bad he went to a gym and got a glow up.

[Aether_GM]

do you think Oda has seen The Mask? It gives Nika-like abilities and canonically the mask originally belonged to/created by... Loki.

I think it's the Jormungandr (World Serpent) Fruit
Mythical Zoan Snake Snake Fruit Model Jormungandr

• Jormungandr is a son of Loki that holds the world in place by wrapping itself around the world and biting its tail and when Jormungandr is released Ragnarok (the end of the world) begins.

• When Jormungandr is released, it causes mighty waves, flooding the lands during Ragnarok.

• In chapter 129, Dorry and Brogy mentioned the 'Greatest Serpent' as the only thing that can withstand their attack. How would they know unless they had tried?

• The fruit that was passed on for generations in the Royal family is the Mythical Zoan Jormungandr. Loki stole the fruit cause he had ambitions to change the world for good by causing Ragnarok (the end of the world).

• During Nolands flashback, in chapter 287 Kashigami the giant snake was called the 'God of Sun'. This could be the reason why Loki thinks he's the Sun God.

• The Sun will bring forth a new dawn by ending the world of darkness. Maybe Loki wants to end the world of darkness and bring the Dawn, that's why he's calling himself the Sun God.

• Loki and Snakes: In Norse mythology, Loki was punished by being bound in a cave to suffer snake venom dripping onto his face until Ragnarok. In the manga, Loki has his tongue out like a snake.

• Loki the serpent stealing a forbidden fruit on the Adam Tree (Yggdrasil) kind of like the Serpent in the Garden of Eden.

• In Norse Mythology, when Loki writhes in pain it causes earthquakes. In chapter 1130 Luffy hears a 'roar' noise and the bridge shakes. Maybe that was Loki suffering his punishment.

• What we know for sure is;
1. The Devil Fruit is very powerful.
2. It has been in Elbaph for centuries.
3. It can cause the end of the world.
4. There's a Great Serpent in Elbaph that even Dorry and Broggy combined can't damage.

Thatch eating the darkness fruit is news to me, I just thought he had it in his room and BB killed him while stealing it. SO BB literally devil fruit hunted his first fruit, that's wild.

[bjsuits]

Just realized a few things…

Loki could have a prediction fruit and reciting prophecy out loud (Blind seer motif). (Though bound and venom dripping in his eyes would go so hard)

Kaido used the move Ragnarok, killed Luffy, Luffy > Nika > joy boy > sun god. Baldr is god of light.

*BALDR GETTING KILLED WAS THE IMPETUS OF RAGNAROK!!*

Likewise, Luffy dying unlocked Nika! Hoo-boy wow did not see Oda coming

[profiesx]

WOW! The editing is crazy!!!! GREAT VIDEO!!!

Upped the budget clearly, looking good👍

Always the most important chapter review for me

[MasterHenky]

Dude, have you ever thought about putting a yellow colored frame around your thumbnails? The red one makes it impossible to see if a video was watched or not and I sometimes miss a video due to that. And yes, I do not use notifications :)

Positive side-effect. If you use a yellow colored frame, a watched video slightly resembles the color scheme of Luffy's strawhat.

"I am Prince Loki of Elbaf and I'm burdened by a Glorious Purpose." - Loki

[HumbertoAbella-ovcc]

I think the full story of Loki isn’t the full story “Loki killing his father to gain his legendary devil fruit” it’s too straight forward to how Loki would just walk up to his father, kills him, get the power, leave, and gets easily caught. There’s more to the story of what happened and perhaps Loki could possibly be innocent.

If his father has a legendary devil fruit, then could it be possible that someone in elbaph would be after it, Loki would have found his father dead and eat the fruit (before the the culprit gets it). Than the giants would easily mistake Loki for being behind his father’s murder.
I’m just giving a theory.

Appreciate all the hard work you put into creating these videos!

[TRICpitator]

now the most important question, where does Road hide his funkopop collection?

[Aozora]

The quality of the video is so high!! It's a pleasure to watch how each images pop up and move along with your narration. Loving that so much, keep up the great work!!

[Lupinemancer]

The fact that Elbaph looks closer to the actual depiction of the Nine Realms then most media, just proves how amazing of an author Oda is. Man actually does his research unlike 95% of people who claims to like Norse Mythology and makes content or games/movies/tv shows, etc, about it. This might sound like I'm complaining, and to an extend, I guess I am, but that's because I am from Scandinavia, and I love Mythology, so seeing my mythology being so misrepresented hurts alot, especially because you don't see the same amount of misconceptions about other myths.
Oda, good job man, Elbaph looks amazing.

One Piece stock is continuously increasing every chapter.

No one talking about the rainbow on top of Elbaf that likely leads to a sky island, probably Skypia because of the other route that was mentioned
