With the previous statement by Vegapunk about humans desires manifesting as DF powers, I also felt like Bonney's nika transformation could end up becoming a very accessible feat for others.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. Pappagu's story showed us all that anything is possible in the One Piece world. And the reason why hypnotism is so powerful in the One Piece world is that it allows people to believe things they otherwise wouldn't be predisposed to believe.

    I actually don’t think Usopp would be called “the sun god.” If anything he would be called “Wagomu no Kami.” The Rubber Band God. Iirc they called him a rubber band deity after Skypiea no? That would be perfect.
    Also, I think it would be perfect if someone in the story calls Luffy and his liberated Nika warriors, “Luffy & his Rubber Band.” We know music is a huge part of the series.

  • @cyberdaria
    @cyberdaria Před 5 dny +12

    Oh gosh, I have *a lot* of thoughts on this topic! First of all, I really appreciate your analysis having a sort of 'spritual' perspective on the story because I feel like common discourse can get so lost in the lore and power-scaling that it can be easy neglect sitting and digesting the material in the way Oda is maybe intending us to. Sitting with the way the story makes us feel is so crucial! When Bonney turned into Nika, I'll admit I had to sit with how I felt about it for a few days before telling my friends my thoughts. Now, I definitely love the idea and am rooting for Bonney (and personally, I have finally bought stock into Bonney becoming Luffy's apprentice). What I'm left with are many questions, so I'm just waiting for more information from Oda. I can simmer down my thoughts to these simple questions:
    ❔Is Bonney free because she is Nika? Or is Bonney Nika because she is free?
    Now, you can interchange 'free' with Nika-like, and I don't think Bonney is literally the Sun God Nika. *But*, what you've expressed in this video is exactly what I've been wondering. Is Bonney's ability to mimic Nika demonstrating a divine purpose for Bonney, or is this demonstrating that all who can believe it can achieve 'Nika' through freedom? I know many think the former, but I personally can't shake that the latter may be true. I think that the Bonney / Nika transformation wasn't only signifcant to her family's storyline, but it shows the audience what is possible for people who believe in themselves enough to achieve their own freedom - which in this case, to Bonney, looks like Nika.
    Maybe transforming into Nika is a template for Bonney to practice with until she achieves her own personalized free form, or maybe appearing in likeness to Nika is what all (devil fruit users? haki users?) look like once they've achieved their freedom. I also wonder about devil fruit awakenings. Could we say that Devil Fruit awakenings are the same as achieving freedom and just that freedom looks different for everyone? That doesn't feel right, but I'm still trying to work out that thought process.
    I haven't decided on the finer details on what this is going to look like in the story, but I love the idea that Nika or Joyboy aren't seen as holy because of some birthright divinity, but because they have achieved their freedom and became legends in their own right.
    I apologize if this doesn't make sense, I am trying my best to sort out my thoughts coherently. If we get to see more Nika like imagery from other characters, I would love to see their character designs. Also, love your NIK(A) shirt! Thanks for making this video and holding this space for me to ramble, it is much appreciated ❤

    • @RandyTroy
      @RandyTroy  Před 4 dny +2

      @cyberdaria amazing arguments presented, and many of them are what led me to my own conclusions in this video. If you are free, you become Nka-- my thoughts on it. And Luffy is likely the key to this freedom which is why the gorosei wanted that fruit for 800 years, why the fruit eluded them. And thanks about the shirt! I made it! It's part of our store.

    We keep making this point that because Bonney's journey wasn't AS HARD as Luffy, this is cheapened. I mean, sure, I would agree it wasn't AS HARD, but was it not still HARD? She was trapped in a church most of her life. She effectively lost her father--traveled by sea at the age of 10, likely fighting off other pirates and the marines. She made it to the new world before being taken out by Blackbeard, losing her crew of long-time friends. Then she still to break out of her captivity, stow away on a few ships and make her way to Vegapunk. She wasn't fighting Kaido, sure, but she was out there struggling, too. We just weren't there with her, so I feel like we aren't impacted by it as much.

    Along with the possibility of lots of Nika transformations, there's something else I think may be coming. We've seen both Zunesha and Emet communicate using the "telepathy" speech bubbles that we've assumed meant the voice of all things. However, I'm not sure how many people have caught this, but the Five Elders telepathic communication uses the exact same speech bubbles that both Zunesha and Emet use. It seems like telepathic communication may have just been a normal thing during Joyboy's time, either through technology or a greater understanding of the voice of all things.
    We already know that both Luffy and Momo can use this to some degree, but I could see this coming into play fully during the final war. I had at first thought this might just be a way to communicate with the Grand Fleet and other allies during the final war, but now I'm wondering if Luffy will tap into this to encourage people to go into a Nika form on a large scale just like he encouraged Bonney to do so in chapter 1118.

    This reminds me, Saturn seemed a little relieved when Dorry and Broggy 'only' called Luffy their friend. As though them thinking any higher of him would be a problem for the WG. That's been spinning around in my head for a bit.
    My assumption was that if they believed Luffy was the Sun God, Luffy would somehow get stronger. But flipping that around, it might make them believe in themselves to an extent whereby they get stronger makes much more sense. I don't know if it's gonna be everyone manifesting Nika powers but I'm not opposed to that.

  • @SrMissileMonkey
    @SrMissileMonkey Před 5 dny +3

    Love the vid. The point on Ussop (and by extension Shanks) what would be cooler and more thematic appropriately, would be of Ussop tried utter those words of "give me a future where I'm a brave warrior of the sea"
    *_and nothing happens_*
    THAT i think would be a much better portrayal of Ussop's growth than him sprouting white hair.
    It would also play into the idea of Bonney's age fruit Powers having limits based on knowledge OF the future. In Shank's case he's accepted the future for what it is therefore growing his lost arm wouldn't be possible;
    For Ussop, he's already LIVING his future as a brave warrior of the sea. He himself just hasn't realized or accepted it yet.
    Can even make it a joke where it doesn't work, and he and Bonney have a verbal spat on why that is and shenanigans ensue. The takeaway being Ussop is already a Brave warrior of the sea, he's just lying to himself😂.

    If Usopp & the others are late, then this may lead to a possibility where the Egghead arc will end with the Strawhats being split in 2 groups. Now the question is whether the Elbaf arc will begin with just one of those 2 groups heading there, or they'll find a way to meet each other before the arc starts?
    On the off chance, they do split up, and Usopp's group were the 1st to reach Elbaf, then it may be a good opportunity for Luffy & Hancock to meet again!

    Luffy's techniques expend an abnormal amount of energy and was even likened to doping at enies lobby, 'shortening his lifespan'. And now we've seen his awakening drain him to the point that he resembles hody and his crew after their powerups busted. Will be curious to see if the robo offers insight on overcoming the extreme energy drain of freedom, if that's even possible. Bonney certainly couldn't maintain it for long, maybe she'll bounce back after eating the second banquet the giant chefs up!

    I'm torn on this. On one hand if everybody's Nika than that really tkes away from the unique, fun form that Luffy earned for himself and delighted so many people with.... Buuuut on the other hand, everybody sharing in Luffy's power is so, SO in line with Luffy's consistent statement that he can't become king without his friends and the themes of "you can't do it all alone" throughout the series. Like its a physical manifestation of these themes brought vividly to life!... But also if everyon'es Nika, then no one is! AUGH! MY BRAIN!

    I mean... It's ONE friggin' page. Willie is never, ever mentioned again... And it's essentially the premise and essence of the entire story.

    The idea of the whole crew or many others being able to tap into the nika form can work with the right execution, it would have to be done in a way that would be a one epic combo attack b4 everyone turns back due to the stamina cost to maintain the nika form with everyone have a toon force version of attacks associated with their own freedom and luffy somehow being the most free since if everyone is the most free then no one is the most free. Im open to the idea of it. Even if its executed poorly it would be some fun fanservice at worst but i trust oda seeing how he handled bonney pretty well in 1119
    I think it be dope if belo betty and bonney combo'd their fruits to make it happen, that be the cleanest way to have everyone go into their nika form on their own free will

  • @darrellfjohnson
    @darrellfjohnson Před 5 dny +2

    I let you cook Captain. But I have to disagree with the theory for two big reasons.
    The first one is that Bonney’s Nika form was foreshadowed heavily through the backstory and is the culmination of both her and Kuma’s story. Kuma was a tragic figure who always tried to do good while trying to keep believing in Nika. And Bonney in a quest to find her father kept believing in Nika as a way to keep her hopes up despite everything going against her. It’s a perfect circle for their stories and I don’t think the same is true if someone like Zoro or Brook achieved a similar form.
    The second reason is that it just doesn’t fit the other Strawhats. They all have their own dreams, personalities and ways of fighting. Having them get a Nika form and the ability to manifest anything they want like Luffy just doesn’t fit them. I think Luffy’s G5 influence on them will be similar to what we’ve seen so far. Uncontrollable happiness and dancing and more comedic Tom & Jerry style reactions to things.
    I’m not completely opposed to the idea, but I think Oda has to do a lot to justify it.
    Also Randy, you’re teasing me with the Nika shirt. Is there any chance of that coming back or are we getting “It never existed”?

    You come up with some really good ideas, Randy. It's great, however, that somehow Oda has left the story open enough for many other good ideas to be feasible too, like from other YT One Piece content creators in their analysis and pontifications. I don't really know how, but even when the story comes to a close eventually, I think Oda wants/needs to maintain that so that we all can stay in that place at least a little bit and don't turn into Bonney in Saturn's hands.

    I was ecstatic with Bonney's transformation. One thing I always admired Oda for is how he took the "superhero" trope to a whole new level, almost a subversion of it in the best sense. Though I like stories about people with superpowers and great responsibilities who take on the burden of saving the world and fighting for the common folk, nothing beats the symbolism of people with superpowers fighting alongside everyone else towards a common goal. Oda does this amazingly because it feels natural and carries great care and importance for even the minor characters. I've never seen anything like it.
    The Strawhats are always our protagonists, but they didn't plan and execute single-handedly what happened in Alabasta. They followed Vivi, who represented the people. They joined a revolution in Dressrosa and again another revolution in Wano. They didn't lead, and they didn't take the spotlight single-handedly.
    I feel Oda holds a very deep comprehension about how we fight oppression. It reminds me of a quote from a Brazilian intellectual, Paulo Freire. He wrote a famous book named "Pedagogy of the Oppressed," and its dedication is something like this: "To the wretched of the world and to those who find themselves in them, and in finding themselves, suffer with them but, above all, fight alongside them." One Piece has this as a theme.
    When Luffy reached Nika status, I feared we would lose some of this magic, even with all the people rebelling together against the World Government. Luffy felt too god-like, too unreachable, like a lone superhero ready to fight for the people and save the world up in the clouds, maybe in a giant form. Bonney's transformation once again subverted this notion and showed Oda is indeed a master of his craft. I truly love it.

    Really like this theory. I wonder if any Marines will be able to achieve it since they generally are instilled with boundaries?
    This also makes me look at the Devil Fruit users, Boa is an interesting one, because S-Snake uses cuteness and Oda stated (in a SBS i think) that a male would most likely use fear; so does that mean Boa's fruit is not just a 'Mero Mero' fruit. Seems like it's capable of encompassing the emotional essence of the user to petrify others that have no control over their own emotions. That makes me wonder if the user master's themselves, are they able to take advantage of all emotions? Because if you're fighting the 'Mero Mero' fruit user, if you're tied down by your emotions you will be petrified, but if you have mastery and are not tied down by your emotions, then you are truly free.
    So maybe their are other god fruits out there, hidden under different names?

    like Alabasta's Sea Cat (which when I think about it was almost food, and with the color palette of anime Vivi) and the real life myth egyptian goddess of pregnancy and protection Bast/Bastet (I know, no shipping in the crew but the Nefertem Ra sun god and the blue water lily stuff with the bride training chapter stories are making me notice Vivi's too uptight, like she needs to be liberated by Luffy);
    I imagine the paw fruit to have belonged to a cat's depiction instead of a bear (prob retcon).

    1.Hitonakai/Hitonokai/ hitonikai [tonakai/reindeer] - hito (man) or hi (truly) but kanji means sun + no ('s/ possessive form) or ni (denotes movement/destination) kai (recovery/restoration- can also mean ocean) or nakai (in the house)
    2.Panachopper - Panacea chopper
    3.Panakai - Panacea tonakai reindeer
    4.Enoki- String mushroom + tanuki
    5.Tonacea [panacea(?)] - Tonakai + panacea
    6.Chiyukura [sakura] - Recovery (chiyu) + sakura
    7.Hanaoseya [panacea] - Nose(hana) + Naosu (to heal) + Seiya (to give/bestow/arrow/star)

Enel wanted the Fairy Vearth. Not really a God wannabe but Mr 0 wanted Pluton (plus I distinctly remember him screaming something about protecting someone needs to be done right).

In many places Strawhats visited Usopp is presented as the hero - he has some statue in Skypiea, Dressrosa etc. It's like whenever Luffy refuses to be the hero, Usopp gets the reputation instead haha
    Your idea that Luffy is going different about new gen than Shanks is very interesting, but let's not forget Luffy also refused to take Tama on his ship, because she was too young and he told her to train. So even if he supports youngsters, he still doesn't accept them in crew just yet, just like Shanks doesn't.
    And before I forget: #sungodusopp :D
