  1. They are associated with the five colors
  2. The five phases of the continuous creation = If they that old they might have created the world government
  3. The five key planets of the Solar System = likely all their names are based on them
  4. The five constellations rotating around the celestial pole = the admiral also are connected to it through the zodiac ones
  5. Five directions of space (their terrestrial form) = north, east, south, west, and center aka grandline. Their terrestrial forms also similar to the marines being a color and animal
    1. Azure dragon, vermilion bird, black tortoise, white tiger
  6. The five Dragon Gods (龙神 Lóngshén) who represent their mounts = they are canonically called celestial dragons
  7. They have also been defined simply as five special forms of the worship of the God of Heaven, different "accesses" or perspectives, suitable for different situations, to serve Heaven = they are literally seen as gods

I'm replying to this old thread because it's the only one about the Wufang Shangdi.

But the more time passes, the more I think that the Gorosei and Imu are heavily based on the Wufang Shangdi and Taiyi.









Like, everything about Wufang Shangdi and Taiyi fits with the currently revealed facts about the Gorosei, there's no contradiction at all.

If Saturn is Yellow Emperor, then there could be another connection with him and Blackbeard.

Previously I mentioned how and why Oda probably chose Saturn to be copied by BB pirates:
  • Saturn has more moons than any other planet in the Solar System.
  • Saturn has a moon bigger than Mercury.
  • Saturn has 146 moons.

There are also theories about Blackbeard being the BaiZe, as his laugh might be coming from eating Mythical Zoan BaiZe, ''Zehaha'':

Not only that, BaiZe can eat bad dreams:
''. It was anciently believed that the creature ate our bad dreams and evil experiences, and for this reason, people, wishing it to eat up all the ills which we are likely to suffer, used to hang its picture on the entrance gate or inside the house."

Now another interesting thing is, Yellow Emperor and BaiZe encountered each other:

''Bai Ze, the divine creature, knows all matters concerning ghosts and gods in the world. Entrusted by the Yellow Emperor, Bai Ze drew all the ghosts and spirits he knew into pictures and added annotations, which is the origin of the Bái Zé Tú.''

This ''annotations'' could it be the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia? So perhaps Teach's ancestor and Saturn wrote it.
