Hello everyone,
Today we are going to look at part 2 of my
Warcury is Akainu’s EOS Opponent prediction, and explain why I think the Admirals will switch sides and take down the Gorosei in the EOS War.
Now I know how much you love my 100,000 word threads but I’m going to keep this thread short and to the point.
The Gorosei are foils to the Admirals. While the Admirals are misguided heroes who mistakenly believe their actions defending the World Government will lead to a better world, the Gorosei are evil demons oppressing the world in an authoritarian hellscape.
While the Admirals don’t agree with every single evil decision the WG makes, the Gorosei are whole heartedly in full support of the Government’s actions and are the ones making those decisions much of the time.
While the Admirals are common born men who attained heroic strength through training, blood, sweat, and tears, the Gorosei are born Celestial Dragons who attained demonic strength by contracting with an immortal demon lord.
The Gorosei and the Admirals are narrative foils in almost every single way, and it only gets even thiccer the more we look at the Gorosei and Admiral matchups individually.
Fujitora
-Fujitora blinded himself while Nasujuro wears glasses which improve his vision
-Fujitora is a reckless gambler while Nasujuro is the God of Finance
-Fujitora is like a “poor” Japanese swordsman wearing robes, rags, and a basic sword, while Nasujuro is like conceptually similar to an extravagant noble Samurai general
-Fujitora eats a lot while Nasujuro in his Devil fruit form can be considered like a malnourished skeleton
-Oda had Nasujuro be the one to announce the “Great Cleansing”
While Fujitora’s entire character is about how he hates that the WG thinks of itself as God
Ryokugyu
-Ryokugyu is a Forest Man while Wyrm Sama is the “God of Agriculture”
-Ju Peter is a Worm, which irl can terrorize/invest/eat gardens and plants, while Ryokugyu is a plant human
-Ju Peter has a devil fruit which allows him to eat shit, while Ryokugyu has fasted for 3 years and ALSO has a Devil fruit that allows him to “eat” people
The garden’s greatest enemy (Ju Peter) vs the garden (Ryokugyu)
Kizaru
Admittedly this one is a bit of a stretch, and I don’t see as much foil between Kizaru and Mars as I do for Warcury/Akainu, Fujitora/Nasujuro, and Ryokugyu/Ju Peter. I’m open to ideas on this one.
