    Theory The Romance of Fantasy - The Grand Monet Theory

    I'd like to point out that this was my theory, not DKI's. I understand the confusion, as we both have Monet icons, I just wanted to clear that up so that the vitriol is pointed at the right person. I'm sorry to hear you didn't care for the theory, though I think your assessment that I'm...

    Theory The Romance of Fantasy - The Grand Monet Theory

    No worries, there are summaries for each chapter and an overall summary in chapter 4 if the previous three summaries are still too long. Just ctrl+F for "summary" and you should find them no problem. Hope that helps!

    Theory How thriller bark came in paradise.

    It's possible that being so big is somehow helpful for crossing the Calm Belts, or it has a seastone lining courtesy of the World Government after Moria achieved Shichibukai status. That would explain how it moved from West Blue into the New World. As for crossing from the New World into...

    Theory The Romance of Fantasy - The Grand Monet Theory

    That scene most definitely conveys Crocodile's character, and the meaning behind Pell's death or survival can most definitely be tied to the conversations being had in this scene. The only points I wanted to make were: A) Crocodile did not willingly allow himself to be arrested after being...

    Theory The Romance of Fantasy - The Grand Monet Theory

    Even considering that Monet stabbed Robin through the shoulder (which somehow was "just a scratch"), it's definitely easy to see Luffy forgiving basically everything Monet did when you consider that he's...well, Luffy. Hancock turned Marguerite to stone then ordered her smashed, Bellamy stole...

    Theory The Romance of Fantasy - The Grand Monet Theory

    I think if that were the case, Oda would have leveraged that during Dressrosa. Nothing about Sugar's story in Dressrosa that I can find implies that there's currently any intention to bring her back later; the only reason I think she will come back is to serve Monet's arc, so I can't see her...

    Theory The Romance of Fantasy - The Grand Monet Theory

    I agree, their relationship had absolutely no focus in the story, and I maintain that I think Oda should have found a way to work in Sugar learning about Monet's supposed death. It would have given a bit more weight to Sugar's character to have her either explicitly seek revenge on those who...

    Theory The Romance of Fantasy - The Grand Monet Theory

    I think I see what you're saying, my prediction of Sugar's role in the story ends with her and Monet parting and makes no effort to predict what she'll do when on her own. I was trying to frame the separation as a symbol of growing up since Sugar's been a perpetual child and likely still has a...

    Theory The Romance of Fantasy - The Grand Monet Theory

    You, you get it. The Straw Hat Crew is the crew that is, in Oda's words, best described as "Unprecedented in History." Like you said, Chopper is a reindeerman (and also has a blue nose AND is the only Zoan to have extra transformations), Franky's a cyborg, Zoro is implied to be a descendent...

    Theory The Romance of Fantasy - The Grand Monet Theory

    Interestingly, most of those responses were directed at me when I posted this theory to Reddit. And yeah, there are a lot of people who are really vocally negative about Monet, but I have a hard time believing that they're the majority. I don't imagine they're a minority either, but I think it's...

    Theory The Romance of Fantasy - The Grand Monet Theory

    I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but it sounds like you're asking why there's never been an SBS directly asking about Monet's situation. I think you were on the right track: "he prefers not to answer those types of questions." Oda has answered questions that have hinted at future...

    Theory The Romance of Fantasy - The Grand Monet Theory

    I'm assuming you're referring to the idea that Wano is Monet's last chance to come back, which seems to have been a fairly popular idea lately. The thing about storytelling is that, as I've said many times, anything is possible. Oda can do whatever he wants, including bringing back a character...

    Fanclub Monet FC

    I noticed that little bit hidden underneath the bottom-most object too, but I wasn't sure if it should be counted. I double-checked the full-color version, and sure enough, it wasn't removed and was given the same color as the object it's next to, so perhaps it was indeed intended to be a...

    Fanclub Monet FC

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there only seven celestial objects surrounding the Earth there? I do like the idea that the set of circles on the Kozuki insignia represents those objects, especially since it doesn't seem to incorporate any moon imagery despite being effectively named...

    Theory The Romance of Fantasy - The Grand Monet Theory

    I believe I talked fairly extensively about Sugar in Chapter 3.04, with her explicitly seeking out Monet to either try to free Doflamingo or just to live as sisters again like they used to. I won't summarize the whole thing here since it's a lot to cover, but that's the bulk of where I discussed...

    Questions & Mysteries Why did Oda draw Monet's heart intact?

    I think this is the first time I've heard someone use the possibility of Monet being caught by Shinokuni as a positive argument. I've considered it from the perspective that it would result in her being found by Brownbeard, but never that it would preserve her wounded body long enough to get...

    Questions & Mysteries Why did Oda draw Monet's heart intact?

    Ah, I think I see what you're saying here. When we see Caesar unconscious next to the heart, the heart isn't making the ba-dum/dokun sound effect, so it gives the impression that it's not beating. I will say though that while there are panels where disembodied hearts are shown beating, there are...

    Questions & Mysteries Why did Oda draw Monet's heart intact?

    Interesting, could you please expand on that? I'm not very well versed in Japanese onomatopoeia, so I'm not exactly sure how to tell that's what it's conveying.

    Questions & Mysteries Why did Oda draw Monet's heart intact?

    I think that's the best response I could possibly ask for. You acknowledge that she could come back based on my logic, but in your opinion, the circumstances are ambiguous enough that the alternative could be justified without making wild leaps in logic. Along the same vein, I acknowledge that...

    Questions & Mysteries Why did Oda draw Monet's heart intact?

    That's an interesting take. So you're not necessarily arguing that Monet is definitively dead or alive, but that Oda has written the scenario in such a way that he can decide later and justify that decision with a canon explanation retroactively?
