Speculations The Gorosei Numbering Is Not What You Think

[EmperorKinyagi]

From what we can parse from the images of the summoning circles, the Gorosei numbering goes:

Ju Peter - 1
V. Nasujuro - 2
Warcury - 3
Mars - 4
Saturn - 5

A lot of people think this numbering is strength related, and while it could be, I think it represents something else:

The order in which each member were given the immortality surgery/became immortal/were inducted into the gorosei.

Thats why Ju Peter looks the youngest: he had the operation done first.

And that’s why Saturn looks the oldest: he had the operation done last.

 

[DarkWitch]

I could possibly see that, Oda could make a twist where Ju Peter who looks the youngest is actually the oldest.

 

[SkySanji]

Nah, Ju Peter > Nusjuro

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

Exactly.

 

[Apollo]

While that is possible, many people got the impression that Ju Peter was the youngest/least knowledgable.

 

[Lee Ba Shou]

Thats why Ju Peter looks the youngest: he had the operation done first.

He seems to be the least experienced among them though. Which would make no sense if he were actually the oldest.

 

[HA001]

Ju Peter didn't know about the gomu

 

[TheKnightOfTheSea]

Ju Peter is the newest Gorosei.

Saturn is the oldest and also seems to be the closest to a typical celestial dragon personality wise

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Ju Peter is the newest Gorosei.

Saturn is so extreme, he'd make the other Celestial Dragons uncomfortable.

 

[Cruxroux]

They would enjoy his show 💀

 

[TheKnightOfTheSea]

Saturn is so extreme, he'd make the other Celestial Dragons uncomfortable.

I think it's pretty telling that he was the only Gorosei at the God Valley hunt

Topman: There are many civilians at Luluasia
Saturn: Human beings are just insects

 

[Soyz]

After this chapter yes numbers aren't indication of strength, it's clear that topman is the strongest he is the only one who didn't do anything yet

 

[Cruxroux]

He is the strongest because he didn't do anything?

It seems like the opposite though, Ju peter is the one asking questions and not knowing stuff other elders seem to know

Hes definitely the newest. The issue is, I don't think ghandi is new at all if that's the joining order

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Hes definitely the newest. The issue is, I don't think ghandi is new at all if that's the joining order

It could mean there was a long gap between Ju Peter & Venus' joining the Gorosei.

Cause the rest of them look all around the same age, maybe Saturn a little worse than the others.

Besides Ju Peter

I think this is misdirection. Imu is potentially much older than all of the gorosei who we can’t be sure were even there at the founding of the government.

You also cannot use the visual age of the gorosei since they have all likely undergone the immortality surgery.

 

[TheKnightOfTheSea]

Nusujuro did seem knowledgeable about Wano and Zou so who knows

 

[SkySanji]

Ju Peter didn't know about the gomu

Yes he did, he's literally the Gorosei that tells us the reader what it really is lmfao

 

[Alarica]

Agreeeee
