Yeah, I mentioned that Oda could have copied POTC too. It does feel inspired by it. The burned-scar guy sails around on an all-black ship, which is basically Jack’s ship, The Pearl. And the Pearl literally came back from Davy Jones’ locker as well. Maybe Xebec sank the same way and crawled out with some kind of curse or power from whatever counts as the locker in One Piece.
Exactly, well said! Oh man you've hyped me up there man. The whirlpools would be a perfect way to symbolise his revenge for drowning with God's Valley sinking and also his sinking into despair and his downward spiral due to imu and domi reversi or something?
Imagine what he could look like now? How raw, demonic and even monstrously aquatic?
I think tot musica the demon king embodied wrath/revenge or just hate or something?
Uta went insane from "betrayal", abandonment/rejection, neglect, loneliness etc and tot musica fed on that. It corrupted her like domi reversi does and how the most evil fruit the yami yami called out to Blackbeard too.
I wouldn't be surprised if tot musica and utas fallen angel from grace characterisation were oda possibly prototyping imu, domi reversi etc at the time. Domi can relate to music at least too.
People believed a conspiracy theory that rock/metal songs/ vinyl records especially would harbour satanic messages when played in reverse too.
I love the domi reversi symbolism as i love the recersi game it's based on, games as abilities/powers and the genius yin vs yang style symbolism of white vs black, light vs dark. But as per Vegapunks speech and what we've seen, the OP world is much more gray than black and white only too ofc.
Maybe we might see the 7 sins symbolised, 1 via imu, 1 via xebec, 1 via Blackbeard etc? I know the warlords have been said by the fandom at least to be based on the 7 sins though. 7 sins, 7 seas (as in pirates irl ofc), heh.
