It's pretty hard to guess. Initially (before the Gorosei were named), I thought that each family represented an important country/historical place, but there are actually inspirations from the same country: Bavette: probably french; Donquixote: Spain (clearly inspired from Don Quijote de la...

But Kuina and Koushirou ARE Zoro's family. Third, fourth cousins, something like that. Zoro was orphaned at age 8 (and we don't know exactly when his mother died), so I doubt Arashi could teach anything to him. If he inherited the Shimotsuki's traditions, then he's related to Wano, even if he...

My mistake, only his grandmother fled from Wano indeed. But Zoro's (and Arashi's) lineage IS related to Wano. As Furiko is Ushimaru's sister, both Zoro and his father have Ryuma's blood (Ryuma's zombie inadvertently even gave Zoro the "quest" of returning Shusui to Wano). Koushirou, Zoro's...

Yes, but it would be a completely different manga. It would be a samurai manga, maybe something like Vagabond or Rurouni Kenshin (Oda was one of Watsuki's assistants btw), just not historical. However, I can't see Oda doing something like this... his MC needs to be goofy. 😂

This gag probably ended on this chapter. Now we'll hopefully get a more serious tone in God Valley.

The thing is, Arashi (Zoro's father, Pinzoro is his grandfather) is a direct descendant of Ryuma and even his face wasn't revealed yet. Zoro is an important character plot-wise (Oda likes to cut the details of his backstory, but he always wanted to set Zoro as the hard-boiled strawhat, and that...

I find it unlikely (Oda doesn't like parents in his manga icymi), but it's quite possible, especially now that, as of late, Oda has been slowly revealing the past of the strawhats who didn't have them fully fleshed out yet (e.g.: Zoro, Sanji, Franky, et al.). It might even appear in the manga...

The Gates of Justice are huge, but they seem to be just 2 huge steel plates. If someone is strong enough, it's possible to inflict enough damage to rip each other apart, drop them and sink them onto the sea (with either a punch/blunt force attack or by gripping them)... an earthquake isn't...

Maybe the crime was more specific? Like carrying an Ancient Weapon or something like that? Btw, it's actually hinted in the Harley that Zunesha wasn't part of Joy Boy's faction, it seems to be helping an Imu-like figure in the Second World/Void Century (it's even possible that it was Joy Boy's...

I'm fine with the results of Egghead, but I think that it was a wasted opportunity to show Sanji's CoC (as a Gaban's parallel, he'll obviously get it eventually). I guess that Oda will blueball the fans some more... 😅

WB's performance in Marineford is, still to this day, the greatest ever shown in the manga. He wasn't "only" an old man with cancer, he was also stabbed in the chest before even starting to fight. Even then, he still folded Akainu and AFTER THAT he beat Blackbeard, who only finished him with the...

I think that this chapter has made clear that WB (36 years old) isn't in his prime yet. Just look at his clash with Roger: Now compare with this (~49 years old WB vs. ~52 years old Roger): Besides Garp and Xebec, it's very likely that none of them were in their primes. There's a hint to...

Yeah, this is it.

That pirate getting whacked, with his face hidden by the lower left onomatopoeia, looks like a young Zeff. He would be about 29 years old during the God Valley Incident. The youngest Zeff we ever see is him when he was 45 years old (chapter #0), and the panel doesn't make clear if he never...

Zunesha was born 1000+ years ago, but the crime was commited at the end of the Void Century (or during the Void Century, then Zunesha was condemned on its last year). Momonosuke especifically said in chapter #1040 that Zunesha commited a crime 800 years ago. It was probably sentenced to walk...

Tbh, we don't really know how the Gorosei's/HK's teleport works. Can they really teleport anywhere or just to "marked" places? Their actions during the pre-timeskip were laughable though. Had Sengoku sent any other admiral to check on Water 7's situation or even a vice-admiral other than Garp...

Vegapunk probably tried it, since he created Momonosuke's DF way back when he was in Punk Hazard. However, he deemed it a failure due to its pink color... 😂 It's the same about WB's DNA... it's heavily hinted that Weevil is a WB's clone in some form, so he probably tried it, for some reason...

The thing is, the Seraphims were made to replace the Shichibukai, so the WG didn't really care about what they would think. They were disposable since the beginning (not that the admirals aren't in the grand scheme of things, but it wouldn't be wise to get rid of them so early).

I'd guess that the control the WG has over the admirals is not really that firm. That's why the Gorosei don't blow Akainu's head after his audacious remarks or the CDs don't execute Fujitora for letting slaves escape Mary Geoise, they know they'd be in trouble if they turned the Marines against...

Yeah, certainly. Buccaneers, Wotans, there are even half-giants like Colon (although he seems to be as tall as a normal giant kid), we have some options out there.
