Yoooooooo Oda's foreshadowing is genius!

Take a look at Luffy's hat in chapter 1.

Spoiler

It is the same exact hat in chapter 1043!

Also, pay attention to Luffy's smile in 1043 here below:

Now if you turn it upside down, what do you get? The same smile from when Buggy almost killed him.

Holy shit

So it turns out the straw hat was always a raid suit in disguise :yasu:

WTH ... every generation has miracle claimers, even in today's world.... prophet Oda and his followers... SMH

The funniest is when Oda decides to do a callback and people call it foreshadowing

 

[Inzziuma]

Oh no, Lee has learned sarcasm.

It's still not very effective.

I really wonder if this is a serious thread or not. Being on WG I have hope that this is a joke, if I was on Reddit... I'm already banned there.

JoyBoy made the smaller strawhat for his son SoyBoy

 

[Definitivo]

Jokes aside, there are people who believe that the liberation drums thing was thought of 20 years ago just because Oda used the same sound at the Skypeia party

 

[Croci]

Goda

 

[ZenZu]

I wouldn't call it the exact same, it seems to fit differently on Luffy's head. Also Nami had to sew it after Buggy.

 

[lee33]

Lol yes, this post was sarcasm. I was trying to highlight the absurdity of the One Piece community posts trying to tie events and saying it was foreshadowing even though it has nothing to do with foreshadowing, for example like the liberation drums having the same sound at the Skypeia party.

Luffy's great voyage of destiny has began. Funny how all this Destiny and Fate stuff was always in our faces but no one bothered to see it.

 

[Inzziuma]

Jokes from my previous post aside, while things like this can hardly be called foreshadowing, it's still something impressive.

Remembering something from this far back and using it in a meaningful way decades later, it's really rare to see that. Like reintroducing Bellamy in Dressrosa and tying in the golden pillar from Skypiea, and also having the rematch with Luffy LOOK the same as the first fight, but making it FEEL completely different, is still great writing to me.
