Speculations The Iron Giant looks like Oars descendent, not a robot

[a_fan]

Iron Giant was described as bigger than the giants and has body proportions the same as Oars. Same arm size, protruding belly, horn and has a slow and loud walking style.

What if it’s not a robot but Oars who is wearing an armour and some sort of mechanical device on his head? The continent puller Oars and Jnr was also oddly obessed with hats which could be hinting something important.

Thoughts?

I would like that but wouldnt VP knew about this already ?

I had doubt watching today's episode.

ASSUMING Nika liberation heart beat is the Energy source for The robot means 200 years ago there was someone indeed who Ate Nika fruit for liberation drum. (just a theory)

But Gorosei immediately took care of it before it could reach it's full potential. And executed Nika in a 5v1 , resulting in shutdown of Robot in between his raid.

Didn’t they say he just powered down while fighting in Mariejoa? I don’t think a giant would do that

How can he know when oda himself is going to know about it from this post

I hadn’t thought about that.

Theory’s dead now.

It's more likely someone like Oars was inspiration to create this robot.

Not dead. I mentioned in the spoiler thread that the robot has sentience, which is weird., because why would a robot apologize to Joyboy So my thing was is what if it's actually a giant like Oars who was turned into a cyborg like Franky and Kuma.

Gohdroger already answered this, read the leaks again

wtf

 

[SkySanji]

More likely it's a robot modelled after an Ancient Giant and given a copy of their consciousness or something,

Or they were so advanced they pulled something on the lines of Artificial intelligence

It is a robot but the design could be of the Oars race.

The mystery is the energy that makes it work, but it is just a robot

The mystery is the energy that makes it work, but it is just a robot

Given how late in the story 1. the robot, 2. the source of energy (Morher Flame & Nika heartbeat), and 3. the afterlife (Brook, Reaper, demon Gorosei) have been introduced, I would expect Oda to tie them all together with a twist.
Like:
Nika's heartbeat allows dead people's wills to not be forgotten by conjuring them temporarily back to this world. When his heart beats, a connection is made between the robot and the person whose lineage it was modeled after, and that person's consciousness is able to manouvre the robot for a while.

The energy is probably just intense heat which is why it only rose after the fire surrounded it

He's fraud dude.

It's possible, or it could be something like how Vegapunk was able to feed a DF to an inanimate object. Or hell, even maybe something like it's the soul of one of Joyboy companions, put into the robot via the soul soul fruit. Definitely got a couple options.
