1121 prediction: Atlas pops up in broadcast
I love Vegapunk, man is layered and not a hypocrite. I remember when we barely knew anything about him, there was a real fear that he'd be another Ceaser Clown or Hogbeck, but he wasn't. He's just a man passionate about science and inventions who more of a gray character due to the unintended side effects of some of what he's done. He's done so much good and bad in his life. I'm going to miss him after this arc honestly.
Emeth is going to open his 8th gate.
More like explosion
😂😂😂😂 KamiKaze
Ah, my super secret arm shedding technique that I haven't used since Hien era.
I took the atlas sacrafice as vegapunk truly inheriting the will of clover since weve seen throughout the series that people with the will of d die laughing. I also find it interesting that the violent vegapunk is able to be redeemed through death but not greed
So I really feel ppl are looking at the deaths of the satellites wrong; we aren't suppose to feel for them as humans, rather than the aspects of him that he sacrificed to arrive to this conclusion imo.
To reserve himself to this means:
he has to go against his logic that told him to do this means they'll obviously come for him (shaka)
to give up his capacity to be funded and do whatever (his genius gluttony)(York)
I think its suppose to be looked at in this fashion as a greater dialog of man and a genius. I truly believe there's also a reason that york will be the last to go and that Lilith, the aspect of him that has been consistent in their passion to challenge the gods and is the "evil" (aka the good cuz one piece) is the one who will last as the final Vegapunk. She was the first to say they are Vegapunk and she will be the last to represent his ultimate conclusion and transformation as a person; battling against the "gods" of this world.
- BAM
I like the analysis of aspects to be sacrificed, but i think that could be true AND that we are suppose to feel for them as humans. Specially since all what happened surrounding Stussy.
I think ppl tend to base their analysis just on literary development and forget that OP is embedded in our real world, Oda has been making bridges since his fantasy world and real world since forever. At the beginnings of this arc it was stated, subtly but clearly, a very prescient philosophical problem: what is the substrate of consciousness? Is it just brains?
This arc should be taken in parallel with all the real world developments we are seeing right now, AI, AGI, the miracles and dangers of technology and science, etc. Specially, it should be taken with the philosophical discourse around this very nowdays events.
Greetings
I love ur point BAM can u pls elaborate on how vegapunk went against his other emotions represented by atlas pythagoras and edison as well?
@@aritrasaha441 imo Altlas represents violence. I think her passing by protecting ppl ties into Vegapunks own decision to depart from his own anger regarding the gorosei and his participation in the violence that had been spread by the world government.
Edison, is constantly consumed with ideas and less about the ramifications of, it was about just having them there and that speaks to Stella's disregard oh his participation in these things. I also think the ending of Edison going from pure ideas, and his end coming about with him thinking of people like Stussy and being grounded is beautiful.
then Pythagoras is the most important one imo. Pythagoras was about wisdom and observing the world. The end of Vegapunk is finally happening because he knew he can observe no more. He now has responsibility to act.
but yeah that's how I saw alot of this because they are meant to be aspects of the man imo.
Very great interpretation of the deaths of the punks. Strip all of a mans qualities and ability and the one thing that keeps them going is their romance and passion(in the case of lilith "evil")
@@bam762 thanks a lot for replying and i agree to all of what you said. I was thinking about the role of the satellites in this arc and i have a more profound image of that now thanks to you. Also i love how pythagoras is vegapunk's wisdom and was the first to fall prey to york's scheme of elminating the vegapunks . The wise sees things from a broader perspective or can predict stuff..in this case the stuff leading to his demise.
You are right about the Kuma Effect the anime is at the point with Kuma climbing the Redline. Just him standing there and looking up, or him putting so much into climbing up has brought a tear to my eye. Beautiful!
Vegapunk didn't clarify about the specifics on how the World Goverment is evil, leading to mass rebelions, but the further we go into his story, the more sense it makes this wasn't his intent at all honestly.
Why was kuma climbing redline again ?
@@Neo_4398 to get to Bonney/Egghead right?
@@Neo_4398relevance? 😭
@@MrJarrydLee it just popped in my head lol
Agreed, also I think maybe that role goes to the Revs
I felt Atlas' death.......because she fed Luffy.
Also her being injured early in the arc is why Luffy fought Lucci. I liked her, probably more than Lilith. Lilith shined a bit when they first came to Egghead but she kinda got overshadowed by Stella. With her as the surviving Vegapunk I hope she gets more development
@ReiseLukas hopefully im wrong but i feel like luffys reaction will be. Oh well. Back to dancing and laughing
@@Leonkennedy19992 Luffy has NEVER acted uncaring towards people that fed him.
Lol
@@Leonkennedy19992hes not at the same place, he dont know atlas dead. And if he still laugh its the fruit side effect. And thats foreshadowed (smile fruit, okobore folks at yasuie execution)
@ReiseLukas vegapunk became a donut and he was just bouncing and laughing around his corpse.
I feel like a a big point of the satellites was to characterize vegapunk with greed, evil, good, wisdom etc. and to mirror the gorosei and Imu to some extent because I feel like it is also something similiar where Imu split his soul or something because if you read the gorosei conversations they rarely disagree with each other. But in every other villain group Oda build in conflict to some extent
I personally felt Atlas's death. I think rereading this arc straight through will give it more weight since we are probably forgetting her contributions, but that's just an opinion.
I’ll be honest I didn’t really care much about Atlas. . . until this chapter. I found her willingness to sacrifice her entire being to make sure the Strawhats made it away safely with Lilith quite potent. And she even did the classic “D” final hallmark: smiling in the face of her death, knowing she did what she needed to do and dying at peace. That will never not resonate, and I appreciate Oda creating a meaningful send off for her.
Yeah i also didnt care a lot about the satellites, but i have to say that they begin to conquere my heart. I respect edison a lot for sacrifice himself and atlas of course too. Also really nice to see how much she cared about lillith.
nahh the switchup on the traitor mystery plotline is crazy
Void century flashback will be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The way Oda draws Luffy in gear 5 just being oblivious to emeth calling him joy boy is so funny to me 😭
Took so many years to meet Vegapunk & learn Kuma’s backstory, yet to me it was all worth it.
It'll be interesting to find out why all Joyboy's allies, Emet, Zunesha, The Sea Kings and others all communicate via the Voice of All Things.
I still believe its the souls of the people of the Ancient Kingdom inside them, but could be wrong.
It's something thats being brought up once again, and feel like its going to be extremely important soon.
Redshirt Vegapunks
This chapter was amazing. Clover flashback that revealed his family is part of the D clan, which has me thinking Robin might have a D in her name but doesn’t know yet. Atlas was smart af for ko Lilith so York could see her loose connection with punk records, and sacrificed herself so the ship doesn’t lose trajectory to the sea that was a mvp move to save the crew from Nusjuro. I thought the whole world knew Rodger had a D in his name, after Ace was revealed to be his son during marineford?
I could be wrong, but I feel they may have omitted the D from his name. The greater significance of Ace's execution, after all, was him being the son of the Pirate King.
@@CrabRangothey barely realized this chapter that Gol. D Roger was his name, not Gold Roger, look at the last panels
Sengoku said, "Your father is Gold Roger."
The fact that lilith is the first VP who appears and then the last VP who survives. While york prolly going to be killed by Gorosei once they manage to get hands of all components of motherflame
The moment Luffy says he doesn’t care about saving the world he Juss wants to save his friends en route to saving the world will be magnificent 🤭🤭
I’m calling it now Big Bird Morgan will show up next chapter.
For the most part the satellites where meh, but I appreciate quite literally having a part of Vegapunk siding with the world government. Even if most of Vegapunk wouldn't follow that path, he wasn't just naively taking any opportunity to do research or being strung along, a part of him wanted and enjoyed being high in the world government ladder.
It subtly informs his feeling of guilt for his actions and creations, the tech may not be evil by just existing, but he had complex and not totally selfless reason for doing his research.
One piece fans are crazy, they complain that there is no stakes when nobody dies. Now we’re complaining that there’s no stakes when people are dying??? I understand if the moment wasn’t emotional for him but at least keep it consistent.
If you don't get it, you don't get it
@@Aether_GM people seem to not get a gist on the real deeps of Egghead arc, but is understandable, since is the most prescient of them all and asks of oneself to be very up to date with real world current events
It’s like u can’t hear. People aren’t complaining that there r no stakes when people r dying. People r complaining because it seems like these characters r treated as less than real characters, on top of them being literal robots, which makes their “deaths” seem cheap and meaningless. Even the main vrgapunks death feels somewhat meaningless because the main head is still alive. Meaning theoretically ANY of their consciousnesses could be put back in new robots/cyborgs. Considering every satellite uploads all their memory’s back to punk records.
@@Aether_GMnaw your one of them cancerous fans who wanna gate keep and act like creating inconsistencies in the story in your own head makes you sound like your more intelligent than others.. y’all are miserable and don’t want people to enjoy the story more than you, to y’all there’s a point we must’ve missed if we are satisfied with a plot point that you didn’t approve of… he’s talking about y’all, y’all are crazy
Should I care about all the randoms that died in Marineford? Obviously not because Oda didn't put in the work to give me a reason to care about them. its the same with the Vegapunk clones. There were way too many of them and they had way too little screen time. I'm not gonna expect my brain to magically start caring about someone just because the story treats their death as if it carries a lot of emotional weight.
Oda basically knew he fcked up with the scabbards and now gave us deaths. I like it. RIP Shaka, Edison, Pythagoras, Atlas, Stella and FCK YOU YORK!
I think Oda did the multiple Vegapunk thing to be able to send a young Vegapunk with the Straw Hats. He didn't want old Vegapunk going on their journey with them.
Thank you so much for your hard work! I think next week will be absolutely mind-blowing!😮
Morj has clearly never seen The Iron Giant
Clovers brother is Xebec
I agree the Vegapunk deaths didn’t hit that hard because we didn’t spend enough time with them but I did like Atlas death even though I knew it was coming. She had more interaction with Luffy than any of the others and Luffy fought against Lucci because of her
Atlas dying got me, ngl. Not super emotional but even back when she got heavily injured i waa afraid for her, so when she was lending a hand i was sad.
Emeth will use a Tamatebako pill or Restoration dial to get back to his prime condition and then will utilize a honing signal to summon the 3 creatures from the Florian Triangle to fight alongside him against the Gorosei allowing the SH to escape
I love the speech despite its length. The way Oda is punctuating it with the reactions around the world, and the ongoing action on Egghead itself, is fantastic. I think this is a stretch of chapters which will work much better for most readers when they read it all at once, rather than week-by-week.
Im actually glad the vegapunks have been dying because there was too many of them 😂
I liked the chapter. It had some good moments, but the coolest one for me was Luffy only being the one to hear Emet speaking! Immediately I was like “Holy sh*t! You can only hear his voice with the Voice of All Things! That’s so freaking cool!”
To me it was just such a badass moment! So freaking awesome! 🤩
I think Lillith is the best pairing for Franky with respect to their similar tastes for flashy weapons and destruction. Hopefully her survival is set up to assist with Franky’s final power ups, finally paying off the speculations of Franky advancing his technology via Vegapunk science.
Vegapunk is doing similar thing to what Roger did in motivating people to find the One Piece, except not just pirates but anyone that wants to learn the truth, increasing the chance of the knowledge at Laughtale from being "freed"
Glasses. With kizaru and vegapunk oda did similar things. As for Kizaru earlier his glasses used to be clear, butbas time passes the cloudier and darker in shade it becomes. He himself stated he probably should have wore a darker shade of glasses. As for Vegapunk earlier his glasses used to be of darker shade, but now its clear signalling his clarity and moral standing. I really like this.. wish kizaru comes to light soon. Its sad to see Light being suppressed and used like this.
"The Kuma Effect" is the equivalent of an emotional grenade as opposed to a bomb. When it's thrown, it seems innocuous until it explodes later on.
I believe that the Vegapunk’s satellites aren’t separate characters. I see it as one character making these actions/sacrifices and parts of himself dying one at a time while the speech is going on in the background. It’s even a little bit poetic. In that way you care more about what’s happening. And that way, you can also see it as not being actual deaths. It’s just the one: Vegapunk
Great analysis. 👍
Lilith is probably gonna be the sole Vegapunk
The strawhats and Lilith are living through what is usually a strawhats traumatic backstory. That’s why he’s killing all vegapunks they are Lilith’s family the importance of them dying is to pass on their will to her.
I think its important that he doesn't know or care that he's JoyBoy to emphasize free will over fate.
Luffy x Nami at the end GGWP :)
I think all the Satalites side story may be a good one depending on how Oda develop Lilith from here on. If she is another Carrot, well that sucks. But if you think about it we have one Vegapunk in our side and one in their side. It could lead to a very interesting battle of wits in the end, where Lilith is the one closer to a real Vegapunk than York. All those sacrifices maybe aren't meant to be tragic to us, they are meant to be fuel for Lilith's revenge arc. They are her tragic backstory, her motivation, just like Clover and Vegapunk got one. She may not become a Straw Hat member, but she might become a major character in the earlier moments of the war, at the planning phase.
Cesar clowen actually did help the straw hats with his science: he helped Chopper extend his rumble ball effect from 3 min to 30 min
The only story luffy actually cared for was kozuki oden's
sanji has been carrying stella this entire time and lilith is still alive. i think vegapunk might come back by using liliths consciousness
Me absolutely glazing myself over getting a prediction right!
ayyy glizzy globbler level glaze
Shaka was the most interesting satellite… ☹️
You're heartless! I felt for atlas
I genuinely think Dragon will intercept them and Bonney, Kuma and Lilith hop off. I really think their roles are with the Revs
To be honest I don't feel that way for Atlas, her death may be expendable but it is something that will hit a lot hard once Lilith awakes, never felt her death expendable but I felt just sad
Look at Little Albert Einstein jr , gonna cry ?
- O D A
I actually disagree with the rant about the unimportance of the satellites quite a bit. As morj has pointed out frequently, a major theme of this arc has been the perseverance of free will and the idea that you can’t ever take that completely away from someone or something. This theme could still happen without the satellites but it would’ve probably felt a lot less impactful and not as strong of a theme. I do completely get where he’s coming from with the lack of impact from their deaths though
Atlas died in a blaze of glory
damn morj... hair lookin good
Personally, the way I want the Joyboy/Luffy thing to go is for Luffy not to care, but then get increasingly frustrated as time goes on that everyone keeps calling him Joyboy and placing this title on him that he didn't earn/has nothing to do with him in his eyes. It makes sense for Luffy to not care about the connection, but still gives some reasoning to it being brought up later on.
I like the satellites, personally. 😅
I really like this chapter and I'm really looking for to the next chapter. I feel like robin is going to tell luffy that emet was calling luffy joyboy before the next island because I feel like robin would pick up on that kind of thing
Luffy is definitely going to just pull a 俺は俺だ and treat the whole being joyboy thing as not affecting who he is.
Prediction: As Vegapunk finishes his message, and the Strawhats escape Egghead Island, Emeth is gonna steal the Mother Flame and nuke the entire island, taking York and Punk Records along with it.
The "I'm Joyboy" stuff is less relevant to Luffy in comparison to what it would mean to Robin who actually has some knowledge of his existence
Luffy still doesn’t know what his devil fruit is yet tho so by him finding out that he is joyboy is probably what’s gonna let him know what his devil fruit is and then he’ll be able to use the full potential of his powers
Regarding the Kuma effect, there is that manga and anime called Heavenly Dellusion or someting like that that gives the Kuma effect once the twist is revealed.

Oda brought One Piece to the world 🌎 in the Summer of 1997
Luffy should just both be aware he is joyboy and just don't care
My bet is Sphinx Island before Elbaph.
It makes too much sens.
- crew will reset and think about what happened.
- Drop Lillith and Stussy.
- Ace and Whitebeard grave.
- Confirming Weevil is really Whitebeard's son or a “failed” clone.
And much more…
Nah I don't see the point in dropping them over there, especially Stussy, if so why not drop Bonney and Kuma aswell?? I'm just theorizing personally that either of Lilith, Stussy and Bonney will join the crew or even all three of them, the development is there already we never know.
@@MakoyoyoThe only one that makes any sense joining is Bonney. The other two haven’t even had half of the focus that Carrot had in WCI, when people were so sure she would be joining.
- crew will reset and think about what happened.
They can do that on the Sunny and the Giants Pirates ship.
- Drop Lillith and Stussy.
Why drop them there when they have friends in Elbaf? The Library of Ohara is in Elbaf too.
- Ace and Whitebeard grave.
Their graves are on another island, not Sphinx.
- Confirming Weevil is really Whitebeard's son or a “failed” clone.
Weevil is not there and Lilith may not know that, Weevil is way older than her.
Can't wait for Elbaf😊
Same
I dont think luffy cares about his transformation because he still thinks its gear 5 right?
This was one of my all time faves (maybe recency bias but for now that's how I feel).
Not only what you mentioned about the drama and character writing but also amazing panelling.
It's Emet, Morj. Not Emeth. Hard T.
I'd call it the
Kuma Rebound Effect.
A little longer but it encompasses that retroactive nature of the pre-requisite being the emotional aspect initially missing.
I’m not sure why I still watch Morj’s bad takes on this story
Next Destination is Elbaf
My bet is Sphinx Island before Elbaph.

Morji considers Vegapunk a Side character? The guy that became the catalyst for everything leading up to the final war is a Side character?
The 😂 world of one piece will forever be change due to his actions alone he literally the sparks 🔥 for the future
The straw hats are main characters, anyone else is a side character. It’s that simple
Is emeth and kuma two sides of the same coin? 🤔 Both of them kinda cyborg and climbed the marijoa.
I think the real stakes with the Vegapunks revolved around if any of the good Punks were going to get away. Less specifically which one would get away.
Theory: what if the voice of all things is the way the ancient civilization used to communicate with each other.
Vegapunk has stated at the beginning of this arc that he wants to create a future where everyone shares his brain. In a similar way the vegapunks can communicate with each other telepathically. Same with the gorosei. What if this technology existed in the past and the voice of all things is passed down as certain lineages are still connected in this way by some unknown reason
Can't wait the next chapter
Luffy is going to beat the game without knowing the lore lmao
9:27 I don't know, I'd also consider Franky a scientist, considering he not turned himself into a cyborg and has built the General Franky, but also studied Vegapunk's work for two years.
The anime does a lot to get you to care about the characters more
Lilith and York are my favorite Vegapunks, so I'm glad they are both alive.
I want to see how each of them grows and surpasses the original Vegapunk.
Oda just needs to stop with new characters. We have an established roster already. These deaths aren’t even CLOSE to deaths like Pedro’s. Pedro was actually fleshed out and his sacrifice was emotional for everyone around him.
But no one’s really emotional about the satellites. We can appreciate them, but you’re not gonna catch Luffy crying about it.
4:03 perfect name! Strong agree
The vegapunks were neat as a sci-fi concept, even if they weren't the most engaging of characters.
Never felt much for the Vegapunks either. When Shaka got shot I honestly thought that he would just have to be repaired later like it happened to Atlas previously. Was surprised when he was reported dead afterwards.
Since Punk Records is still active I do wonder if they could be remade. Even Stella Vegapunk dying doesn't feel too impactful when you have his literal brain still working.
I really thought you could never have another bad take as bad as the "The straw-hats will lose the raid" but here you are again saying the absolute most outlandish thing anyone could say about these recent chapters, it's as if you are more of a robot than the stela's or the giant Robot.
Saying that the death of Atlas has no emotional weight to it at all is insane and dumb simply because of how hard Luffy fought for her when he saw Lucci destroy her head and that is just one reason out of so many.
Or How Miserable The Giant Robot is written down to be, from him finally seeing an old friend that died 800 years ago and could finally talk to him just for JoyBoy to not recognize him at all, but still just the fact that it's Joyboy is enough for Emeth to throw his life away that he held on to for the past 800 years waiting for JoyBoy to come back like he promised he would.
You Out of all people should understand these Themes very easily, But you keep proving yourself as a one piece "hater" or someone who wants to have a special opinion that no one else has, Wow You are so different from other people truly special..
My thoughts & opinions of the chapter:
1. Judging from the conversation that Vegapunk & Clover had, as well as the scientist's reason for not helping him before, I began to think that this moment could have been what made York the person we know now. Which may explain why she turned on her family in the 1st place.
2. After learning that Clover was also a D carrier, I now wonder if any parent/sibling figure of the SH also had that initial?! Specifically Bellamere, Usopp's parents, Kuina, Sora, Zeff, Dr. Hiluluk, Yorki, Tom, Fisher Tiger, and/or Otohime! If so, then this could make each member's respective roles even more important than ever before!
3. As soon as I read the part about how Luffy was the only one who could talk to Emeth, I wonder if this could lead to an event where Luffy will somehow gain full control & understanding with the Voice of all Things!
4. When Vegapunk mentioned Roger again, I wonder if he would explain to everyone about why he & his crew did what they did. To be more specific, he would bring up the "We were too early" excuse in his message.
Kuina is a confirmed Shimotsuki,aka the same family as Zoro,as well as the direct descendant ( grand daughter) of Shimotsuki Kozoboro, the founder of the Shimotsuki village,back in East Blue.
Kozoboro - Koshiro- Kuina.😅
explain point 1?
@@MrJarrydLee All I can say is that maybe York isn't just the embodiment of Vegapunk's greed, but rather his own doubts that the Celestial Dragons can be defeated.
6.Joyboy predicted the entire sequence of events based on emeth last words. The ponolgyph were joyboy message he relayed to his friends .Zunisha not giving up for the past 9 centuries is probably because of the message.Morj egg theory will likely come through In the future. Probably used future sight.
4.Luffy wasn't born again ,hence to early or Roger was waiting for joyboy after reading joyboy diary. The book he had in his hands in laugh tale .
"I'm just lending a hand" after getting her arm cut off. Atlas's last words were a wholesome joke, she went out smiling like a champ.
Vegapunk expresses in the flashback with Dragon that he believes that there’s good and evil in the World Government, particularly in the Navy. This is something the series has constantly portrayed.
He doesn’t immediately announce blame on the WG because 1) he doesn’t know if the WG is responsible for Lulusia 2) it would be irresponsible to levy blame on them when he doesn’t know they’re at fault and the WG also contains forces of good
I kinda got the impression that the broadcast ended at the end of this chapter. With Vegapunk saying that he's got nothing more to say and heavily implying to the world that the really important stuff will be uncovered at Laugh Tale by the next Pirate King.
When is luffy gonna learn about nika and joy boy. Getting tired of side characters zipping their mouth despite knowing this important piece of information.
I found the deaths of Atlas and Edison pretty sad also the realization that Lilith will awaken to the news that all her siblings are gone (especially considering Edison is her bestie) is gonna be rough. I feel like people are making light of these characters because they’re robots but what happened to the moment of Edison validating Stussy’s right to exist? They have consciousness and have forged bonds and they’re selflessly giving themselves up for the sake of others. This all started with Kuma and it’s cool seeing all these versions of Vegapunk do the same as him especially considering Vegapunks initial hesitant behavior to do what is right. You don’t have to be heavily attached to them to feel moved by really noble actions or saying profound things, and Stella himself is really enjoyable to me because he’s actually grey and the idea of him shedding different aspects of himself is very fascinating.
Vegapunk is giving a Filibuster Call
I watched the scene where Bonney begs Luffy not to hurt her Daddy in the anime and it hit me way harder there than the same scene in the manga because I knew the backstory. "Kuma effect" is real.
The story always had contradicting aspects to vegapunk, one island he is a good science provider , the other he creates weapons of mass destruction by turning a good man into a slave,
His character is very underrated for me, the conflicting information about him is kept consistent with his satellites, he will pillage and dehumanize pirates for the sake of his research like Lilith would,
he would pursue any experiment at almost any moment no matter how good or bad that’s (Pythagoras and Edison), he will show some kindness and regret for his mistakes (the good in Shaka)
his constant creation of weapons show some violence ( a bit of a stretch but atlas)
and finally the most cool aspect of his character is he does have a greed one so big he partially wanted to be a celestial dragon(he told dragon he joined the world gov cuz they had funds while he was a broke boy),
the more you go into the vegapunk rabbit hole the more you see how interesting he gets
That was cool to see that Denjiro is the Daimyo of Kibi. I really resonated with the History and Emotions associated with Clover. Another D. Clan Member. There might've been 20 vs. 20 @ this point. It was cool to see Zeff and them. Idk if that was Tequila Wolf, but the Slavery scene hit. I really felt Robin crying. Shout out to Atlas for going out like a Real one. I got slight Astro Boy Vibes. Even Sanji and Franky were stoked to see the Robot. Someone needs to start explaining some of this History to Luffy. I know he doesn't care about much of it, but this actually relates to him. Vegapunk is as sus as I knew from early in the Arc. Lilith is gonna accompany the Straw Hats. Shout out to the Straw Hats for just moving like a well oiled machine as a Yonko Crew should. Nami gives commands on the ship. Zoro acts as the Vice Captain as Rayleigh would. Jinbei and Brook were on point. The Emotions from Usopp and Chopper hit. Oda is putting emphasis on the Iron Giant. Vegapunk is only speculating. I figured that he didn't know much.
I definitely agree it felt likely at least some of the satellites were gonna get taken out from the beginning so was bit anticlimactic. But i still like having them bc I liked their designs and they were interesting at times.. I just wish he chose to keep Shaka and/or Stella alive but just imo. I liked Shaka, og vp, and Lilith and Atlas the most in that order.. The robots were least interesting to me 😅 And i'm probably biased against York bc of the story so i will claim to have not liked her from the start even if i know it's not true
saturn will be taken out to the sea by kuma with Kuma will leave bonnie with 'Nika"
Toki was the person who sent emeth , 200yrs ago where he was charged/battery used or something, there's no way he's just useful if nika fruit or joyboy is around , doesn't make sense ! But he was injured and couldn't start himself alone , so he needed luffy RN to gain consciousness! And toki was not fool , she already did that with scabbard so most likely she did this with joyboys crew aswell ! She was not certain which time to move onto! That's why she was confused in odens flashback at first
