The silhouette'd man is obviously Down D Stairs.

[axedrel]

Kizaru is like: "Hurry tf up, they'll get suspicious if I sandbag any longer"

[rexlumontad]

Therapist: "Female Shanks isn't real. She can't hurt you."

Female Shanks: 0:06

[brananagrans]

It's panda man. He's been lurking in the shadows and background this whole time and he's finally going to introduce himself

[TheBigE]

I'm henceforth calling not-Shanks Shivs

[bruhbruh]

Marines be finally after the One Piece, Law turned into a canon waifu, and the Elders finally revealed, yet here we are, Dragon, still no movement. He's like that one chess piece that doesn't move the entire game.

[Jimmy-fulq]

the silhouette guy is 1000% the man marked by flames
They’re the only missing piece that in some way ties in the final road ponoglyph(or being able to read ponoglyphs) which is relevant to Vegapunk’s speech about finding the One Piece

Shanks being a twin could be why he was in the box at god valley. the world nobles might have some kind of thing about twins where the younger twin is "unneeded" and gets turned into a slave or maybe it was just garland and he had no need for a 2nd heir.

4:23 Next time I shall provide more context.😂 Thanks for the shout out.

[cassiusfelix]

I feel The God Knights are Imu's personal bodyguards because who is meant to protect them it's not The 5 Elders they have their work that they have to take care of.

[pokerus]

“Shanks’s assumed relative-“

Oh cmon; St. Garling in his younger days is just shanks with a yee-yee ass haircut. They’re DEFINITELY Related.

Mental barriers are extremely hard to overcome. I'm unable to walk due to an accident and I had to have surgery. I have 10 screws and 2 plates in my left knee now. The pain I can handle but the mental battle to not see a dark future that's limited is so much more painful.
I've yet to cry from my pain but I cry constantly when I look at a future where I'm not able to stand for my boys who are still very young

[skinfluithero]

Plot twist, Marco is Butters from South Park

I will say every time I think of IMU and the Five Elders I just think of the island Brook was sent to during the timeskip.

In that arc there were people who tried to summon the Devil with a circle that was very close in appearance to the Goroseii’s summon circles.

Everything in One Piece gets reflected and sometimes Oda will randomly make the most random things the most important foreshadowing.

I believe that with Vegapunk saying he can’t determine good and evil for the void century then it would make sense that the war started with a slight misunderstanding and continued due to it all (like how wars in real life can start over something small then spiral further into lots of tragedies).

This goes back to Brook because he was summoned as the village wanted to stop the LongArms but when they summoned Brook they asked him to punish the LongArm tribe, not just the ones that were attacking them. This is a misunderstanding and generalizing a group as it wasn’t all the LongArms wanting to cause violence but due to it being all the village saw they just wanted to attack all the LongArms and have them punished. This could have been a case for the void century as well with the kingdoms and the ancient kingdom, a misunderstanding that lead to war on both sides. One believing the entire kingdom was purposefully causing them disarray and then that following kingdom seeing these kingdoms attack them and then attack back not understanding what caused it and believing it was pure hatred/racism.

This goes back to Brook too in the timeskip because he was summoned to help them out. Now I say that this was the case for the void century. I believe IMU summoned the Elders from Hell to help them in the battle then afterwards assigned them roles to help develop his world conquering nation. Like war generals being given normal jobs after the war, but most demons disappear after their job is fulfilled but since the war isn’t over then they cannot leave just yet until it is all completed.

Not only that but I believe that IMU is silhouetted because of what he had to give up to summon the elders. He didn’t give up panties like the village with Brooke but instead had to give up specific body parts. Kind of like Dororo in concept that his body parts were taken by the Elders but it was by his decision to have this occur and they are loyal to him since the offering was made.

In my brain I believe that everything in One Piece is reflected but can be slightly different with outcomes that the person originally sought after.

Doflamingo was a successful Crocodile with the kingdom situation although different so maybe IMU was successful in summing the demons to help him

[danang]

well make sense that Kuzan is separated from Blackbeard on that last panel, its obvious that from his re-introduction post timeskip on Punk Hazard that he only join Blackbeard for some sort of infiltration or soul searching

he's still fighting for his justice, albeit not his old "Lazy Justice" anymore

If you look at the very small image of Gin a few chapters back, he too is using the same sword as the mysterious silhouetted man. Clearly he is the final member going after the one piece

[fufufuaru]

that silhouette confused tf out of me. i thought it was shanks and then I realized his big mug was in the upper part already lol

[AditOverHere]

I say the silhouette is Higuma, the mountain bandit from Chapter 1. His sword is a perfect match.

[Teddy_Gautier]

Ao Kiji damn near killed all of the Blackbeard pirates. What would make anyone think that he was trying to join them? Remember, it took quite a bit of convincing for him to do so

[tinfoilslacks]

Based on their location in the final spread (the two pages are arranged symmetrically with each character on the left having a counterpart on the right) the man in the silhouette is set up as a counterpart to Garling.

Narratively, it doesn't make sense for the Man Marked by flames to be a totally new character, nor a very well established character we've already met. The former means there's no emotional resonance to the reveal (a character who we haven't met's *real* identity is...also a character we haven't met). The latter means a character we already know is retroactively revealed to be an entirely different character in terms of plot relevance and story necessity. For this reason, it makes the most sense for the Man Marked by Flames to be a character we know *of* but don't know well or personally.

I firmly believe that the silhouetted figure is both Rocks and the Man Marked by Flames. Marked by flames during the God Valley incident and Garling's final remaining enemy from the GV incident, since both Roger and the majority of the Rocks' crew is dead, and Garp is a marine (and also potentially dead). We've never confirmed Rocks is dead, and all the other characters connected to Garling (shanks, Imu, the Gorosei, Roger, the celestial dragons) are either dead, allies of Garling, or positioned opposite a totally different character on the final spread.

Loki is still unaccounted for too I guess, but he doesn't feel like a good fit for the man marked by flames since he's been described as sailing on a ship and Loki is probably firmly *in* Elbaf.
