Original Title: EVERYTHING We Know About Joy Boy In One Piece Explained!

[jubriel]

Also can we talk about the Thousand Sunny being the ship for Luffy, definitely some ties to the Sun God Nika. As well as the Going Merry being the first ship for the crew, "merry" being a synonym for "joy".

😍 It is so adorable that Joyboy might be connected to music and would explain why Luffy was so obsessed with finding a "musician" even before getting a cook.

[shadhinov]

Oda is truly one of the greatest worldbuilder, and mystery writer.

Roger, Xebec, shanks, joyboy... One can make entire spin off shows based on these guys alone and we would eat it up.

Now I understand why there is a big straw hat frozen in the basement. The original straw hat owner/Nika user, Joyboy, wasn't a giant but he enlarges himself to become as big as how luffy did, at the same time his straw hat also gigantified due to his awakened devil fruit abilities affecting other things besides himself. They managed to get his straw hat when it is still under Nika's affect and decided to freeze it in order to study the ability, most probably intended to replicate the devil fruit into a smile fruit or to find a way to defeat the Nika user.

After 24 years, I don't know how Oda is able to keep all this to himself for so long. I couldn't keep my mouth shut this long and with this many secrets like Oda is doing.

[misterfuzzyflippers]

Thriller Bark also had some subtle hints! Lola's crew referred to Luffy as their warrior of hope and thanked him for bringing the sun back to them. It's a long shot, but in hindsight you can see the parallels.

[CarrionMorris]

My theory is that Joyboy was the Sun God Nika, not that he ate the Nika Nika fruit, but that he actually was Nika. After he died people wished for him and that is how the Nika Nika fruit came about, and the reason why Luffy is special is that not only did he eat the fruit is that he has the will of Nika

[findseeker]

I still like the theory that Joy Boy will turn out to be Luffy who time traveled into the past 😂

[beatsbymonny]

I like the theory that Joy Boy wanted to be young forever so he could keep making people smile but it came at a cost of losing his memories every time he comes back

I wanna know if Shanks knew about Joyboy or any of what would happen.
He was the one who stole the fruit to begin with and he could’ve known the true origins behind it as to why he put himself in such a dangerous position as to steal it.
Joyboy and shanks are the 2 greatest mysteries in this series and it would be insane if they both connected somehow when reaching laughtale

[graychicken]

Honestly a lot of times in Shows, the author comes up with these crazy plot twists and gives the characters insane powers ridiculously to keep the show going. But it seems like in the case of One Piece, Oda actually took the time to develop the story over a crazy period of time. If so he really is amazing and One Piece is like the best show ever.

[rafaelzamot]

Oars possibly being the original Joy Boy kinda blew my mind. We all know that Oda loves to hint stuff in the most random ways possible, most of you remember that scene were Oars Jr was having a flashback to were Ace made him a giant STRAW HAT to protect him from the elements.

[MonkeyD.Moritz]

Roger couldn’t read the poneglyphs Oden translated them for him. Which also means Odens dad can read them and might teach Momo how

[RevelationsPrimo]

I think the Straw Hat (given it's color and shape) is an abstract symbol for the Sun as well. And given that one wears a straw hat when the sun is out, it's safe to assume that's by default a crown -- going with the Ancient Kingdom + Joyboy ruler bit.

Overall, I am still excited by OP lore bc the story keeps me excited.

[gabrielgoes]

I've been in LOVE with One Piece for, I dunno, 18 years? And when the story is coming to a close and these themes of freedom and liberation, which are so dear to me, become so much more apparent, I can only like it more and more. Thanks, Oda.

[davidvargas]

It’s funny how most ships represent something crucial about the identity of the pirate captain and his crew, and the straw hat pirates have literally been going around the sea in a ship with a sun motif “The Golden Sunny” for about 15 years now. Perfect boat for a sun god.

[antalex_II]

I always thought of Zunesha’s “crime” as being straight cap 🧢. I believe he did not actually do anything wrong. But the bad guys 800/900 years ago forced him to walk the ocean forever to persecute him for being friends with Joy Boy. Or, they manipulated the situation somehow to where it would justify him being sentenced to this punishment. Something like those things.

I love this theory, and I hate to be THAT person, but technically, Robin isn't the only person in the world who can read poneglyphs. I wasn't sure if you were trying not to spoil anyone or not, so I held my tongue, but Oden's father can not only read them, he can write them as (if my memory serves me right) it was a tradition passed down through the Kozuki family for generations. Sorry, it was just a minor thing I picked up on, still loved the video and the theory though! I look forward to when we get to the point where Oda explains everything surrounding the void century and who Joyboy was and what he meant (I was eating up the lore-packed chapters on egghead). It's so exciting!

I think Garp knows more than we think. In episode 887 he says " He's not done yet" implies that.
