If you told me 5 years ago Wapol is did more in the story than Dragon, I would call you crazy.
*Wapol
@@MrWhatdafuBOOM Tbh when I was watching the dub, I legitimately thought his name was Waffle
@@guillermoortega-ruggia9111it is
I would five years ago, dragon still hadnât done anything
He did more Dragon already. He had a whole arc lol
I mean, wapol's drive is pretty simple. He's a vain proto-'celestial dragon'.
He didnt go after Hiriluk for any practical reason. Its just that he said "no doctors" and here was a guy saying "I'm a doctor". Thats really all there was to the 'plan'.
Yeah. Liam says Wapol is inconsistent but he is actually consistently short-sighted. That's his major flaw that drives his actions.
Wapol was also running a monopoly.
A Doctor running around doing things (poorly) for free was a threat to him making money off people in need.
The fact that wapol has seen imu before luffy is something I find hilarious
Ya but Sabo saw Imu before him.
@@Pikachu2Ash But that's less funny.
True. lol xD
Wapol hook isn't sadism of greed, it's control. Wapol want to stop Hiluluk because he goes against his view of his kingdom. It's also the reason he had against Dalton
I think that's a good take and that's also shown in his fight where even in his home everything goes wrong like Nami stealing the key to his ultimate form or his BFG getting clogged by birds. It's one of my favourite fights actually.
7:08 it's actually a very good reasoning. It would be a smart idea to leave Hiluluk alone, in any other political system. But Wapol is a king in an absolute monarchy, letting anyone ignore the ban will diminish his power, since rule of the monarch is highly dependent on total obedience. In addition, a lot of monarchs in real world have made similar choices.
Honestly this series has quickly become my favourite out of all the content you put out man, the day you'll cover the last villain will be a sad day for me
Since Wapol had seen Imu and Five Elders of their monstrous forms, he will have to throw his lot in with the Revolutionary Army where he can provide them a base, funding and also telling Monkey D. Dragon and his Captains of what he saw.
Plus Sabo backing him up since he too saw the true nature of so-called leaders of the World Government up close.
I kinda like that and it would bring Vivi to the revolutionary army as well.
Wapol deserve D tier, because his wife laugh is "Gold-dig-dig"
Which means she connected to Gol D Roger, obviously
"goldig" means sweet or cute.
To clarify golden in German is also "golden" (pronounced differently).
â@@Mortarion-xt9wp and his wife is probably a gold digger.
@@ShadeKirby500 She's a triflin' friend indeed.
Me waiting for that Foxy video longer than I've been waiting for Imu to not be just a silhouette.
I think there's a theory that, thanks to Imu's devil fruit, Imu's body is a silhouette.
To think Wapol's survival is important as without Wapometal, Franky wouldn't be able to build his creations like General Franky mecha without that special alloy.
Vivi probably wouldn't have survived either if Wapol didn't barge into the room she was kidnapped in and helped her escape.
I mean sure but thats more of a fun fact than a requirement. Its not like its essential for the fictional robot man has to have the fictional metal to build cool robots it is neat an old villain has inadvertently helped the heroes multiple times now.
There are a lot of connections like that. The story of One Piece is kind of a tapestry.
@@m.a.dmatt6689 I canât wait to see the story of how he stumbled his way into saving Vivi and becoming Morgansâ accomplice in the anime. Seeing as Sabo is about to explain what happened during Reverie, Iâm going to assume that Wapolâs side of it is coming too.
â@@coltonwilliams4153Wapol's side: he was hungry.
I now need a ranking of the top business men and women in the One Piece Universe to see if anyone could top Wapol
the flamingo and big mom are pretty up there I think
Morgan
Iceburg is also a major player. This guy may be a mayor, but Galley-La may be into weird activities as I suppose most of their clients may be Pirates
Umit. His transport business was big enough for the Marines to use his services to deliver building materials to Egghead.
Morgans should make the list as well. He's the king of his own news industry.

Let's get Bellamy the Hyena or Rob Lucci next
We wanna save the likes of Blackbeard, Sakazuki, Imu, and Katakuri for later
Rob Lucci is an easy S tier
Yeah I'd like to see the analysis of Bellamy.
no, we need to see the charming, delicious, handsome, manly, powerful, intelligent, sexxy Foxy boi,
If Franky ate the Munch-Munch Fruit, he'd be able to eat random metals and make his own special metal: the *"Frankalloy!*
To use them in making his creations a lot tougher and cooler.
Surely it would be called SUUUUUUUUPER Metal

Walpol attacking Hirluk makes a lot of sense. Walpol doesnât give a shit that people hate Hirluk. He wants complete power via monopolizing medical care. Oda is showing the self-defeating nature of being power-hungry. He would be better served to let Hirluk go, but he canât give up that control. And his incompetence underscores this. Heâs like a CD w/o admiral protection. An entitled brat whoâs good at being evil, but not super good at being scary.
Good morning op fans!
Good mah boi
Good afternoon for me đ
Good morning to you.
@oleksandrbyelyenko435 good afternoon
good morning
One thing I think might have influenced Wapolâs decision regarding the doctors was Vegapunk. Vegapunk was 500 years ahead of the rest of the world and is enough of a humanitarian to give his research(after itâs been paid for) to the world for free, something that could have threatened the drum islandâs tribute to the celestial dragons which probably consisted of doctors and medical research or the money such things bring. Wapol couldnât oppose the government or the dragons, but he could bleed his people by controlling the doctors. As for hiriluk, he was calling himself a doctor and couldâve destroyed Drumâs reputation through his quack practises.
The thing with Hiriluk is that heâs going against Wapolâs orders. And I struggle to imagine Wapol ever allowing that.
Sitting with my coffee and watching GLR is the weeb dad version of reading the morning paper at the breakfast table
Bro I have my 2 year old daughter next to me watching this as I feed her breakfast and have a morning coffee đ
Weeb dads unite! Lmao
5:07 love how law just apears and disapears
Wapol is just the Wario of One Piece, From greedy villain to greedy business man, just existing in the background
Omg now Iâm wondering if Wario was an inspiration-Wapolâs got the right build and even has a mustache đ
7:24 well yeah wapol ate the bridge
People really forget Oda likes the silly no matter how edgy the "fans" want OP to be it's a silly story at it's heart of friendship.
Itâs literally both. Also âfansâ is really pretentious.
Wapol being so relevant in the final saga was not on my One piece bingo card
Wapol is tight lipped about what he saw at reverie but my theory is Morgans threatening to kick them out of the blimp and wapol very reluctantly spills the beans about Imu to stay on board .
Wapol's backstory makes perfect sense to me. He's a violent narcissist. Dr. Hiriluk's crime wasn't that he was practicing medicine, but rather that he was taking the attention away from Wapol. He was also working outside the system Wapol created, which meant Wapol couldn't take credit for it.
You even see shades of this narcissism when Wapol abandons his doctors to die. In his mind, those doctors aren't even people, just things of which he can get more. Why should he care what happens to them?
Exactly my thoughts! I don't think Liam "gets" Wapol and that's a shame. He's one of my favourite villains exactly for this reason. It's also very interesting to see how this narcissistic sort of evil is made almost harmless in comparison to much more potent villains.
Liamâs almost in a corner where the only villain left for him to cover is Foxy.
Walpole is the new Mjosgard of the series he just doesn't know it yet.
He thinks he's bad.. But he's Mjosgard đ
Luffy climbing the mountain while carrying Nami and Sanji is one of the most brutal moments in the entire show imo. Especially the anime makes it such a bloody scene. I believe it's episode 83, very well worth a rewatch.
I wanna meet Wapol's dietician
he probably ate him
Another contrast betwen Wapol and Vivi/Cobra, which I don't know if was intentional, is the land they are from. One is cold and one is hot.
Wario starts out as an evil, greedy glutton antagonist. After some defeats, he eventally manages to found a very prosperous and profitable videogame company. He also has a canonically translucent mustache twirling evil brother who despite barely being seen anywhere, people seem to recognize him more than Wario himself.
I wonder now if Wario will at some point find out by pure chance that Peach is actually a world-ending threat kind of villain that has been pulling the strings all along.
You missed the point of Drum Island. The main threat is Namiâs Illness, not Wapol. He is greed personified and despite being weak himself, uses the tools of government to exert power, by controlling the doctors, similarly to Stalin. It is one of my favourite arks, and that is helped by there never being a pretence that Luffy would not be able to punch him hard enough. Dictatorships control key things like healthcare, education and Money to keep power and prevent rebellion. He shows how important ruler is, independent of their individual ability to win a fight in a series where that is usually the defining ability.
can you paragrapg your comment a bit
seeing a wall of text makes me not want to read
Even though being able to eat everything sounds cool being constantly hungry all the time would be awful. Walpol is my least favorite villain and hopefully Foxy who is the best villain will be next.
Shame that we will never know the name of Wapol's favor. For a guy who's a good king beloved by the people of Drum Island and well regarded by Dalton, Oda never gave him a name.
I bet his name would be Ivan contrasting bizarre names of Wapol and his non-canon brother Musshuru.
Wampollllllllll, Wammmpolll is goateddddddddddddd
In regards to Wapol's dad and himself; what's that saying?
Strong leaders produce peaceful times, peaceful times produce weak leaders, weak leaders produce turbulent times, and turbulent times produce strong leaders.
I think Wapol is a prototype for Blackbeard. They are both hippo-like people with a devil fruit power to consume anything. Though obviously Blackbeard is a much more competent villain.
Waiting for something to happenâŠ
âLess than a fan favoriteâ D.on Kreig slander
Wapole is basically the US healthcare system personified
Just imagine if Wapol ate all the supreme great blades and combined them into one perfect sword.
time travel breather the timeline: wapol gets own video before kaido
To be fair at the moment there's more backstory for Wapol
i yhink the reason wapol targeted Hiriluk is because hiriluk was disobeying his mandate that all doctors would be under his control. He only cared because it indermined him and that is unacceptable
0:20 i quit
Oda gave us a few of love hate characters.
1. Buggy
2. Foxy
3. Wappol
10. Swamp guy
Great way to start my morning off. Talking about fictional pirate stories focusing on a tonned hippo man.
USSOP WILL BECOME THE GOD OF OBSERVATION!!!!
Isn't he already one??
Watching Drum island for the first time, i had no issues with Wapol as a villian. If anything he was very compelling compared to past villians. It was such a wild devil fruit compared to the others we have seen come before.
low key bringing back One Piece 101
Sadly the Drum Island Arc never was about Wapol. He was just a tool for all the information we got in Drum.
- Luffy's first Wanted Poster of 30,000,000
- Wapol was the first King we came to know
- first mention of Blackbeard and his group
- Luffy says there are people in the world that don't sleep (Blackbeard Characteristic we lerned 800 Episodes later)
- we lerned about Zoan Devil Fruits and they're limitations
- the giant Mountain with the Castle at the top mimicing Mariejois
- a kingless Castle where Kureha took resident, forshadowing Imu
- the 20 Doctor's as a stand in for the 20 King's
- a first look into the World Goverment and the Reverie
- Gold Roger actualy being Gol D Roger
- the first mention of the Will of D
- first mention of Ace and his hunt for Blackbeard
- we got a new Crewmate in Chopper and lerned his backstory
This Arc was all about world building. And Wapol was just a means for that.
If anything his whole character is a 1 to 1 blueprint of what the Celastial Dragons are.
I find it amazing that characters who didnât seem like a big deal or who wouldnât have a impact on the story, make a huge comeback and are still relevant to this day.
Let's hear Liam talking positively about "Saint Charlos" , the celestial dragon
I love this channel. It makes me sad when I open CZcams and I don't have a new episode of GLR. I NEED daily episodes sirrr. Thanks for your time Liam! đ
This video came at a fitting time considering the latest news regarding the Live Action S2
The Live Action S2 is currently mentioned to cover up till Drum Island, meaning Wapol needs to (somehow) serve as a fitting villain for the end of the season
You always surprise us!
5:48 huh sounds familiar *cries in American*
i forgot this guy even existed đ
How the dude' been background lurking for a while... and he did save vivi at the reverieâïž
Thought you meant glr at firstđ
I think Wapol fails most as a villain because he never once comes off as a threat in Drum Island. Heâs bumbling, goofy, idiotic, and generally harmless. He sets a couple houses on fire, but then mostly concerns himself with kicking Kureha out of the castle, which he entirely fails to do. He only has two crew members, who were utterly weak and soloed by freaking Chopper. The only reason there was any tension at all is because the entire crew except Luffy were either sick or lost for the entire arc.
There was another comment in the thread that said, âthe main antagonist of Drum Island wasnât Wapol, it was Namiâs illnessâ and that sounds about right
Wapol is among my favorites because of his design and that his devil fruit is very cool.
I hope Wapol with his toy empire are working on toys that float and can go underwater
I genuinely get so excited whenever these videos come out
Youre one of the funniest reviewers Ive heard manđđ Sweet hint of protein lmao.
The way you describe Wapol reminds me of our country's policy on the matter of healthcare. Wapol. A blue Trump.
My headcanon as to why Wapol went after Hiriluk had everything to do with Wapol's arrogance in not allowing anyone to go against his decree about the expulsion of doctors. The idea of using Hiriluk didn't even enter the picture. His yes men would never offer suggestions while Wapol thought himself right.
One thing I'd noticed with Wapol compared to practically every other One Piece villain is that he never has the upper hand in his arc. He and his crew just get their asses kicked everytime they get into conflict, with the only real damage they deal is getting tribbles stuck to Sanji for a bit.
And island called drum, with what looks like huge tree trunks, used to be a highly advanced medical facility and known to have a mushroom that heals anything and joyboy creates drum music. Thereâs something there
Ngl live action Walpol saying "I like my houses well done" as his minions set fire to a village would be sick af.
Heâs like a gag antagonist placed in a serious arc and I appreciate that heâs underwhelming because he highlights other antagonists by comparison such as black beard. 7:44 I see it as the law is the law and defying wapol at all is punishable.
Regarding your two options stated in the video, well there is some logic to them. The true reason he wanted Chopper's mentor was because he wasn't happy knowing that even the smallest of medical help was available to his subjects. He had to control them all Even if it was a bad doctor.
I loved Wapol for how it showed what power does to people. Wapolâs crazy actions make complete sense to me as they serve to increase his own power over others and punish those who donât recognize his power
Yay! I love love LOVE king Wapol, his introduction being him out-weirding the strawhats by eating their ship and other things. Coming back to his kingdom finally and just wrecking everything and everyone, at times i was captived by his elegant way of speaking (tho i guess that depends on the translation huh) as im reminded "oh this is really a king". I do find his relation to Dalton quite interesting, he's very trigger happy with those who oppose him, yet he locked Dalton in a cell for a while demanding an apology in an mocking tone. Maybe its because as a vassal he hadent lost his value yet or the people of drum island adored him so much but any sense of "mercy" from a character whos so sadistically cruel toward everyone always catches my eye. And his fights were he just threatens to eat people alive is just so unhinged hes just so crazy i love him, even ate himself alive good lawdy
Incredible timing. Wapol was just confirmed to be the final villain for s2 live action of One Piece
When I was watching one piece for the first time a couple years ago, my friend and I would joke about him being the best OP villain, and he jokingly threw in âoh yeah, when he comes back shit gets realâ
âŠI was very upset that he wasnât joking
I like to imagine that wapol was already a big glutton before he ate his devil fruit and that he actually ate his devil fruit on accident during one of his eating sprees.
Walpol was the prototype for all of those arcs we got after that where the Strawhats had to over throw some kind of evil dictator. He was fine for that time, because the formula wasnât already over used by that time. Walpol was easily hateable and he had a freaky power and that was all he needed to be for the simpler arcs of that time. He wasnât too boring because of his design and power but he also didnât distract us from the epic background story of chopper and Luffy trying to find a doctor for Nami.
In my opinion he was perfect for that arc and making him a gag character after that is honestly the best you could do with him.
Bro works with Netflix. Last time when Mr. 3 casting was announced he gave us the vid about him and now we know Wapol is the main villain of live action season 2 he uploads this one
A theory I had back during MHA's run that was "the quirk influences the behaviour/habits of the person." Mainly looking at Toga's and Stain's quirks. I wonder if it's true in One Piece as well. We know some devil fruits have a will. I wonder if Wapol was a fine person at one point, then ate the fruit that is pretty much the embodiment of gluttony. This could have either altered his brain chemistry to always want to eat and thus made him impulsively greedy.
I love that Wapol represents the concept of private property described on Marx's works
Hey Liam are you going to continue One Piece 101 or Devil fruit encyclopaedia? Or One Piece explained
The munch munch fruit is the most underrated fruit, imagine it in the hands of someone with competence. He could have a full form based around being a bladed human because of what he ate, fingers as muskets to add extra variety
I never had a problem with Wapol as a villain because to me Drum was about a lot more that just the standard formula of âbeating the villain to save the kingdomâ. I think he served his purpose well enough and he did it in a way that didnât make the story feel repetitive
Wapol devil fruit powers is so common nowadays. Incidentally, just yesterday we had Dazai vs Gluttony in Isekai Shikkaku
I know this sounds crazy but since one piece arcs mirror themselves to future arcs, Walpol is going to be a near copy of Joyboy. A king/prince then pirate and wanting to be king again? That could be a close facsimile to Joyboy, we know Joyboy was from the ancient kingdom, donât know whose itâs king was or royal family (maybe his lineage),become the first pirate and had a dream to become kingâŠ.again? There are more parallels like knowing the truth on who runs the world/seeing the empty throne filled
this is great timing, cause I'm wondering how they are going to make wapol compelling enough as the final antagonist for opla season 2
Speaking of eating, what about Katakuri; someone who sort of just rose up from nowhere to be this important rival.
nothing better than a video about the big bad villain of the one piece live action season 2
Where does it state that Wapol's fruit actually forces him to continually eat?
Iâd really like to see a Caesar Clown video!
Wapol is actually a pretty good trial run at the immortal dragons and showing the true problems of giving malignant narcissists power before they start appearing.
So after the last couple of chapters I think itâs safe to say Joyboys haki is so strong heâs basically immune to devil fruits including Imu which I think is why he was so scared when he felt it. He thought the only person to nullify his powers had returned. Also I donât know who that hat belongs to but maybe the giant straw hat is another item imbued with joyboys haki. Which is why Iâd bring locked away in cold storage. This is my crazy part of the theory, I donât think he does have a peg leg but if he does what if traded his leg for knowledge or power similar to odens eye. That could be why heâs leagues above anyone weâve seen in the series to date.
Why aren't you viral yet?!
Bro has 1.2 Mill subs what you talking about ?
@@EyedMite dude delete this its a bot and commenting on them is just gonna give them unwarrented attention instead just report them
@@daniyarahmed2527 thank you!
It was still cool to see him having two devil fruits in movie 9, even before blackbeard
Interesting because I always took Wapols thematic opposition bearing more to authority vs freedom which framed this ways fills out more of the hollow points pointed out in this analysis. Thus is the first dictator like villain we have encountered in the series and kind serves as a soft side celestial in my eyes.
Ngl there is one thing he has going for him. His ship was pretty nice. Similar to laws because submersible but large enough to be used reliably in marine combat.
Walpol made the right choice running, BB was wanting that Fruit power.
Oooo boy you picked the day to upload this, since it seems that Wapol will be the main villain for season 2 of the live action.
Rewatching Wapol I somehow thought about his merging house ability and had a random revelation;
What if Buggy's awakening is allowing him to attach his body parts to other people and let them controll his body parts - thereby giving Shanks the possibility to fight with two arms in the final fight?
Thinking about Wapol and his place in the story, he's kinds like the at home version of Moria. His crew is way dangerous than him and he relies entirely on his devil fruit to carry him.
Wapol also demonstrates the fact that authority alone will not have Luffy bend his or stop. It is kinda like a break villain before the intensity that Crocodile brings in the next arc.
That's also why I think Wapol would be a great villain for the next season of One Piece. Just so long as they use the marines to set up Crocodile. Treat him kinda like a boogey man and maybe not have Vivi know who he is but just some very vague facts and something damning that makes them chase after the crew.
Crazy timing with recent news that wapol will be the live action season 2 finale villain
