This theory examines the striking similarities between Loki and Kozuki Oden. These parallels could shed light on the events unfolding in Elbaf, particularly the mystery of Loki and his father King Harald’s death.
Key Similarities Between Loki and Oden
1. Monstrous Strength, Rebellious Nature, and Chaos in Their Homelands
2. Tragic Fates of Their Fathers
3. Misunderstood by Their People
Theory: What This Could Mean for Elbaf
A Hidden Manipulator?
What if King Harald, like Sukiyaki, was influenced by someone working in the shadows? This unseen figure could have tricked Harald into making decisions that threatened Elbaph, forcing Loki to kill him to avert disaster. This mirrors how Orochi’s schemes undermined Sukiyaki and Wano.
Loki’s Justification
The hint in Chapter 1143—that Loki’s killing of Harald wasn’t cold-blooded—supports the idea that he acted out of necessity. Perhaps Harald, swayed by this hypothetical puppetmaster, was about to enact a policy or decision that would harm Elbaph or its people, leaving Loki no choice but to intervene.
A Misunderstood Hero?
Like Oden, who sacrificed his reputation for Wano’s sake, Loki might be a misunderstood figure whose true intentions are hidden from his people. His actions could ultimately be for Elbaph’s benefit, even if they’ve branded him a villain in the eyes of its citizens.
Conclusion
The parallels between Loki and Oden suggest that Loki’s story in Elbaph could echo Oden’s journey in Wano—a tale of a powerful, rebellious figure caught in a web of deception, forced to make a tough call, and misunderstood by those he aimed to protect. If a shadowy manipulator is indeed at play, it could unravel a larger mystery about who’s pulling the strings in Elbaph, making Loki’s role far more complex than it first appears.
Key Similarities Between Loki and Oden
1. Monstrous Strength, Rebellious Nature, and Chaos in Their Homelands
- Both Loki and Oden are portrayed as exceptionally powerful individuals with a mischievous, defiant streak that defined their youth. Oden’s reckless antics caused chaos, misfortune, and conflict in Wano, while Loki’s unruly behavior likely contributed to incidents and tragedies in Elbaf, earning him a notorious reputation.
2. Tragic Fates of Their Fathers
- Oden’s father, Sukiyaki, ruled Wano but was deceived by Orochi, imprisoned and made to appear dead. Similarly, Loki’s father, King Harald, was the king of Elbaf but met a grim end—killed by Loki himself. This suggests a pattern of paternal downfall possibly tied to external influence.
3. Misunderstood by Their People
- When Oden returned to Wano, Orochi had seized control and manipulated him into acting like a fool to save his nation, causing the citizens to despise and misunderstand him. Likewise, Loki might be misjudged for killing Harald—Chapter 1143 suggests it wasn’t a cold-blooded act, implying a deeper, perhaps justifiable reason.
