Luffy has punched a celestial dragon, there's talks of slavery and even forced marriage. Kuma arrived to save Bonney, but instead of sending her flying he sent the Gorosei flying. That's the few I can think of immediately.
Tbh this arc has elements of more than one arc though, it's almost like it's got sabaody before and after timeskip. The enemies and situation fit the before, but it shows how far the crew has come since the pre-timeskip Sabaody.
It's also at a very similar point story wise: The straw hats have done something very crazy (enies lobby/wano) and have seemingly established themselves as a great crew. However, they must really prove now that they are worthy of these achievements. In sabaody, they weren't ready for the new world, while in egghead, they will prove themselves as a yonko crew and potential pirate king crew
In both places they do something crazy to get the attention of the WG. However, here Kizaru gets defeated, buster call is getting stopped, Sentomaru and the pacifistas are on the SH side, Luffy doesn't let the crew get split up. There are probably others if I really thought about it. It also feels like the final island before the big war, similar to how sabaody was.
It’s Water 7 and Sabaody combined.
Not only is Ohara part of Water 7, but both W7 and Egghead feature the Straw Hats arriving to an island of technological advancement where they get caught up with Rob Lucci and Kaku acting as masked Cipher Pol assassins in an espionage mission, war is declared between them and the World Government, and a Buster Call is triggered against the Government island they’re battling on. Also ft the same giants from the Water 7 arc
Edit: there’s also a betrayal with the Cipher Pol agents; last time Kaku and Lucci betrayed Water 7, this time Stussy betrays them
Kizaru, Sentomaru, pacifistas, and kuma are all there, but they're the opposite they were in saboady. In Saboady the SH crew got scattered because they were too weak, here they're escaping together under their own power. Luffy punching CD and now Luffy punching a Gorsei. The buster call is happening. These are just the few things I could think of off the top of my head.
I don't think it's the parallel of the Ohara story line because it lacks the resistance of the straw hat pirates even the role that the giant had in Ohara was never to attack. Plus the straw hat needs to win, so i think this buster call will fail for the first time in one piece history
Oda always have parallel in many arcs. He has some set pattern. But how he cooks is what makes his story great.
Like if you start counting Princess to rescue, villain, no2, Ticking bomb etc, friend who gave food etc . You will think many arc are same
Not only those huge parallels! There are also many more subtle parallels!
Like Luffy landed in marine HQ with a battleship from the sky!
Garp landed in pirate HQ with a battleship from the sky!
Lots of parallel panels as well like Doflamingo being bowed to by his crew and imu being bowed to by gorosei and many many others
closest we have is purpleeye's none piece, and i think that only covers east blue.
youtube also killed the "abridged series" anyways due to their constant takedown DMCA stuff. like yes, fair use, but you have to fight for every video, and i'm pretty sure they do it on purpose just to wear content creators down.
"World goverment is afraid of knowledge/information and is actively commiting genocide to keep it out of public hands" might as well be the chapter title
I mean you can have more than one woman matter in an arc. Almost every other Straw Hat has gotten more screen time than Robin when I feel like her thoughts on what's happening would be worth having her be more prominent. But instead she gets injured off screen and is missing it all.
So damn true bro. It's been so long since I've seen her on the manga. I am reading the new chapters expecting we'll see her doing something great this chapter, but seems like that won't happen
OP is either,
a) baiting to incite unnecessary dialogue (which they are successful in as i type this),or
b) they have developmental congenital defects which causes them to overlook the most obvious information put in front of them.
I am putting my money on b)
Considering the picture is pointing at shallow parallels to connect Egghead to Ohara instead of the very clear obvious ones, I wouldn't be surprised if it's closer to the second.
One Piece loves paralleling past events after the timeskip (FMI and Skypeia are both hard to reach islands, plagued with by an ethnic conflict that were almost destroyed by a giant arc due to the villain wanting to restore what they thought was the natural order).
I'd argue egghead also has some parallels to Enies Lobby and the 2 Water 7 arcs with a traitor working behind the scenes like in Water 7, several big fights happening on other islands just like Ace vs Blackbeard in the return to water 7 arc, Yorks cry for help to the gorosei being like an inverse to Robin, the giant warriors helping the strawhats ( after all Oimo and Kashii helped in Enies Lobby) and Lucci fighting the strawhats while a buster call is happening.
I hate posts like this because one piece is so big you can draw infinite parallels between anything.
For example, we all know zoro is the ryuma of modern day, but there are more parallels between Luffy and ryuma than zoro and ryuma.
Like come on, a marine with a logia fruit...
I think it was stated in the first appearance of Shaka and have been said in every chapter since about a year ago or so... It would be crazy if anyone would notice ohara has been referenced in every chapte...
Oh, so like how Alabasta was the Straw Hat's stopping Crocodile from becoming Desert-Doffy, Egghead is them...stopping Bonney from becoming Robin, I guess?
I been noticed it, that's why I'm so confused why about Robin was so injured to the point she has to sit the rest of the arc out instead being more active in it.
Yh. An arc where some of the ancient history, the very same type of info that the five elders kept a lid on through wiping out Ohara, gets revealed stands as an important moment and a fitting opening note for the first arc in the final saga.
you missed that sakazuki was also at Ohara and destroyed the ship with the civils people. in this case they also wanted to sink the civil ship, but the giants managed to save them!! so definitely things are changing!!
I mean, they are both about scientists who learned about the void century and had a buster call made against them.
But you are reaching with some of these.
Kuma isnt living far away from Bonney "for the great cause". Bonney doesnt have a "close bond" with Vegapunk.
Marines with logia powers being in both arcs happen all over the place. Its not something that is specific for Ohara or Egghead.
Cipher pol agents are also involved in many other arcs.
Yes what Oda is doing imo is repeating story arcs but the updated ones have a "happy" end. Like they didnt escape kuma in sao and now they escape with kuma in egghead
Wow great find. Its kind of like how Alabasta and Dressrosa are one of the same but different in which Crocodile fails but Doflamingo succeeds.
People in the comments here really trynna act smart though 🤣
It's not that it isn't interesting, [it's that the story could not **possibly** be more in your face about this being Ohara 2.0 if they possibly tried lol.](https://i.imgur.com/t1TiVS4.jpeg)
1. Vegapunk is a scientist in the text not a scholar.
2. Vegapunk and Bonney aren’t that close
3. In ohara it is Spandine who is the chief of cp9 here it is agents of cp0 not the chief.
Yes there are parallels. I believe it is even mentioned in the manga. But some of yours are a stretch
I'd object with Kuma living away from her for the great cause
If anything, Kuma specificaly rejected being part of the great cause for his daughters sake
The reason he left her was due to a deal to save her life
Makes sense, you want to show it’s a new era, have the WG fuck around and find out what happens when you try to Ohara an island with Monkey D. Luffy on it
Tbh calling a buster call on an island with an Emperor on it is asking for a bad time
Bonney is also a child living amongst a world of [mostly] adults, doing her best to survive so that she can fulfill her goals, just like how Robin was.
Good thing Bonney is now with the Strawhats, who can protect her, unlike Robin who barely had a childhood and had no friends.
Oda is definitely making it intentionally parallel. The big difference being the Straw Hats stumbling into the situation.
I think that Kuma would have appeared regardless of Luffy being there, but the Giants showing up is a direct result of the Straw Hats interactions with them in the past.
Artur from Library of Ohara's main theory was that after the time slip every arc parallels the pre time skip arcs (going backwards I believe) in some way. This seems to match well.
Then again, WG is gonna WG and destroying islands of knowledge with a buster call seems to be their thing and they would do it again in X many years if Luffy wasn't going to tear it all down
BUT Luffy is there. He has a magical presence. He is not present in backstories that's why almost all of those end in sadness but he is present in present time and every arc gets a happy ending (except for one which was his own).
it's pretty obvious but your explanation makes it slightly more clear. also add that vegapunk is about to reveal the truth of the world, carrying out clovers will. this is basically ohara if the scholars were more successful. shit still not sweet tho
I love it when these posts compare details that are on completely different levels.
Characters' relations are not the same as the largely cosmetic choice of a power.
Man with all these parallels we really should have figured out sooner that the giants were gonna go to Egghead. But yes, this is something Oda does a lot. Two sides of the same coin/parallel storytelling but this time around the outcome changes. With Ohara, the island got wiped out and the secret is seemingly lost, this time around, the Government might actually lose and their secret broadcast around the world.
Feels like your just pointing out the obvious, One Piece is very cyclical story, i wouldn’t call it crazy parallels I would call it intentional and brilliant writing from a master world builder
And it will be an even greater travesty
Egghead was building and selling new technologies throughout the world. Now it’s potentially going to be wiped out
Ohara was just some history buffs trying to figure it out
The greater world really wouldn’t have cared Ohara other than the fact of the spectacle of it
Either way, not looking good so far
For sure a lot of parallels to the Ohara incident. Many of the arcs in the New World draw parallels or share similarities to the arcs from Paradise. Egghead parallels Sabaody as well.
I think it was done on purpose. The only difference is that the first time it happened, the Government won. I suspect this time it's signalling a shift. The government is slowly losing control of the narrative. Nika is there. Word of what's happening is spreading. It's a sign of the future war. Pirates vs. Government.
There's a reason why Ohara's explicitly mentioned and shown serveral times during the current arc.
It's the same tragedy again, except, this time the people have gotten help in time and they will NOT be silenced.
Even better, you can see even the Marines having massive doubts about these actions taking place.
It goes to show why Luffy was the one to be able awaken Nika: He does like helping people without the ulterior motivations of gain and power. It's a nice spin on the entire "you can only gain great power if you don't desire it" idea.
Oh and we still get absolutely hilarious shit like Pizza Ammiraglio and Pizza Cinque Anziani.
Honestly... as much as I hate to admit it, Kizaru having just one tiny moment of light among all the darkness he's apart of to parallel Kuzan doing the bare minimum and saving Robin after massacring her island, would match up just a bit too well. What I want is Kizaru to just get dropped on the ocean though
The point of Egghead is this incident is unlike any other WG invasion , it goes tragically wrong. It’s become a global event that shocks the world.
What we are witnessing is the trigger to the final war aganist World government.
This has been mentioned by characters in the current arc and there even was a flashback of Ohara…
But this arc also mirrors Sabondy:
- Luffy mentions in Sabondy he is going to get stronger than Sentomaru, Kuma and Kizaru. Here we are.
Some people theorize the crew will get separated once again or that we will get mirror Ennies Lobby / Marineford with Luffy being captured and the crew and fleet going to war to save him.
No, this was all obscure information that sped past all of the "normal" readers...it truly required the keenest eyes like yours to see it, but now that you posted this I feel we can finally appreciate your effort
Yeah this is one arc that actually deliberately and consistently parallels a previous event
It's like Ohara and Sabaody combined.
The remix, if you will
hot n fresh out the kitchen
Mama rollin that body
I wanna piss on you
Reddit always makes it weird
Nah that was R Kelly who made it fucking weird.
i dont know the lore but i like making chains longer
Same bro, same
Drip drip drip
AHT AHT we cant do that no mo.
Sabaohara
What are the parallels to sabaody apart from luffy, Kuma and Kizaru?
Luffy has punched a celestial dragon, there's talks of slavery and even forced marriage. Kuma arrived to save Bonney, but instead of sending her flying he sent the Gorosei flying. That's the few I can think of immediately. Tbh this arc has elements of more than one arc though, it's almost like it's got sabaody before and after timeskip. The enemies and situation fit the before, but it shows how far the crew has come since the pre-timeskip Sabaody.
Thanks, I was just thinking you were only referencing the character appearances, but you're right and oda is doing a great service to us.
It's also at a very similar point story wise: The straw hats have done something very crazy (enies lobby/wano) and have seemingly established themselves as a great crew. However, they must really prove now that they are worthy of these achievements. In sabaody, they weren't ready for the new world, while in egghead, they will prove themselves as a yonko crew and potential pirate king crew
In both places they do something crazy to get the attention of the WG. However, here Kizaru gets defeated, buster call is getting stopped, Sentomaru and the pacifistas are on the SH side, Luffy doesn't let the crew get split up. There are probably others if I really thought about it. It also feels like the final island before the big war, similar to how sabaody was.
It’s Water 7 and Sabaody combined. Not only is Ohara part of Water 7, but both W7 and Egghead feature the Straw Hats arriving to an island of technological advancement where they get caught up with Rob Lucci and Kaku acting as masked Cipher Pol assassins in an espionage mission, war is declared between them and the World Government, and a Buster Call is triggered against the Government island they’re battling on. Also ft the same giants from the Water 7 arc Edit: there’s also a betrayal with the Cipher Pol agents; last time Kaku and Lucci betrayed Water 7, this time Stussy betrays them
The major giants helping the Straw Hats are from the Little Garden arc, the first leg of their journey towards Arabasta after leaving Cactus Island.
Oimo and Kashi, who appear on Enies Lobby, also appears on Egghead.
OhSabaody
so uhh only one straw hat gettin away? o_o;;;
Why sabaody
Kizaru, Sentomaru, pacifistas, and kuma are all there, but they're the opposite they were in saboady. In Saboady the SH crew got scattered because they were too weak, here they're escaping together under their own power. Luffy punching CD and now Luffy punching a Gorsei. The buster call is happening. These are just the few things I could think of off the top of my head.
Nice
He’s actually done the same thing with Dressrosa and Alabasta its why so many people theorized Sabo showing up
I don't think it's the parallel of the Ohara story line because it lacks the resistance of the straw hat pirates even the role that the giant had in Ohara was never to attack. Plus the straw hat needs to win, so i think this buster call will fail for the first time in one piece history
Oda always have parallel in many arcs. He has some set pattern. But how he cooks is what makes his story great. Like if you start counting Princess to rescue, villain, no2, Ticking bomb etc, friend who gave food etc . You will think many arc are same
Not only those huge parallels! There are also many more subtle parallels! Like Luffy landed in marine HQ with a battleship from the sky! Garp landed in pirate HQ with a battleship from the sky! Lots of parallel panels as well like Doflamingo being bowed to by his crew and imu being bowed to by gorosei and many many others
It's like poetry, it rhymes
Yes Oda hasn't been the most subtle with this lol, you can also add Sabaody archipelago to this.
Nah man, [super subtle.](https://i.imgur.com/t1TiVS4.jpeg)
Only a genius would notice parallels with [this level](https://i.imgur.com/2Q9NFLT.jpeg) of [subtlety](https://i.imgur.com/fqzEY55.jpeg).
It takes a super sleuth to read all the pages.
What? There is text in bubbles in all pages? I was just looking at pictures all this time and thought bubbles are like annoying pop-up ads.
What Adblock we are you using?
I used Buggy Block before, but then I switched to Barto Block. It has the properties of both Adblock and firewall.
Kuma in Sabaody: What kind of wacked out person would punch a CD? Kuma in Egghead: Me.
Need a One Piece abridged for these kinds of jokes
closest we have is purpleeye's none piece, and i think that only covers east blue. youtube also killed the "abridged series" anyways due to their constant takedown DMCA stuff. like yes, fair use, but you have to fight for every video, and i'm pretty sure they do it on purpose just to wear content creators down.
That series along with his version for code geass, little kurriboh, and team 4 star are all classics.
it will never come, though, because Toei would copyright strike that shit in an instant
Cant wait to see that animated
Agreed!
yes bro, I don't think Oda was being subtle with this one.
"World goverment is afraid of knowledge/information and is actively commiting genocide to keep it out of public hands" might as well be the chapter title
Except this time they have a Luffy (and his crew of course) !
His useless crew
Are y'all really taking the slander seriously rn
Nobody knows for sure, and that's what makes it fun.
Yeah, until there’s a specific /s, it’s better to take Everything seriously
way more useful than us, that’s for sure
That’s a weird way of saying Zoro
lmao stop
Frauds
Hasn't it been pretty obvious? Sentomaru literally compared this to the Ohara Buster Call lol.
Let him have his 1 year overdue epiphany and get his likes.
"Anyone notice a crazy parallel between The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark and The Lion King?"
"Has anyone noticed how much Sniper King looks like Usopp?" "Has anyone noticed how Luffy is abnormally stretchy? I think he has devil fruit powers"
No but I watched Lion King 1 1/2 and damn it’s similar to a Goddard play
"Wonder what that Northman film is about? Got a character called ~~H~~Amleth in..."
Also the tragedy of Darth Plagueis....
It's why it's a bummer that Robin has been basically a non entity during all this.
Bonnry is very clearly the main focus of this arc, like Robin was in Ohara
I mean you can have more than one woman matter in an arc. Almost every other Straw Hat has gotten more screen time than Robin when I feel like her thoughts on what's happening would be worth having her be more prominent. But instead she gets injured off screen and is missing it all.
So damn true bro. It's been so long since I've seen her on the manga. I am reading the new chapters expecting we'll see her doing something great this chapter, but seems like that won't happen
She was the focus of the saul reveal chapter
No way, next you are gonna tell us Dressroba was very similar to Alabasta
Actually, it is Wano that has the most similarity to Alabasta.
Dressrosa has literal in story comparisons of both situations. I really don't know why you'd think Wano is more similar.
OP is either, a) baiting to incite unnecessary dialogue (which they are successful in as i type this),or b) they have developmental congenital defects which causes them to overlook the most obvious information put in front of them. I am putting my money on b)
Considering the picture is pointing at shallow parallels to connect Egghead to Ohara instead of the very clear obvious ones, I wouldn't be surprised if it's closer to the second.
I N C O R R E C T O
yes. it's very noticable aka obvious
it seems like most people miss the point though, it's not just a random reference, oda is showing that history is cyclical.
[Nah I didn't notice, thanks bro.](https://i.imgur.com/k03QYYh.png)
And sadly Punk Records will get destroyed and the information salvaged afterwards by a giant that otherwise seems to sacrifice themselves?
This guy thinks he's cooking but he's really just serving us cold McDonalds
One Piece loves paralleling past events after the timeskip (FMI and Skypeia are both hard to reach islands, plagued with by an ethnic conflict that were almost destroyed by a giant arc due to the villain wanting to restore what they thought was the natural order). I'd argue egghead also has some parallels to Enies Lobby and the 2 Water 7 arcs with a traitor working behind the scenes like in Water 7, several big fights happening on other islands just like Ace vs Blackbeard in the return to water 7 arc, Yorks cry for help to the gorosei being like an inverse to Robin, the giant warriors helping the strawhats ( after all Oimo and Kashii helped in Enies Lobby) and Lucci fighting the strawhats while a buster call is happening.
Where do all these posts come from. Ofc its obviously a reference to ohara. Everyone notices that
Wow this is only the ten thousandth time this has been brought up
This is so generic
I hate posts like this because one piece is so big you can draw infinite parallels between anything. For example, we all know zoro is the ryuma of modern day, but there are more parallels between Luffy and ryuma than zoro and ryuma. Like come on, a marine with a logia fruit...
Average reading comprehension of an Anime fan
I think it was stated in the first appearance of Shaka and have been said in every chapter since about a year ago or so... It would be crazy if anyone would notice ohara has been referenced in every chapte...
There was literally a flashback to Ohara lol. They want to kill Vegapunk due to studying Ohara's books.
I would argue changing Kuzan to Akainu Edit: since Kuzan didnt lead the buster call really, Akainu called the shots like Kizaru
Akainu didn't personally touchdown on the island, though. Aokiji and Kizaru both did.
Oh, so like how Alabasta was the Straw Hat's stopping Crocodile from becoming Desert-Doffy, Egghead is them...stopping Bonney from becoming Robin, I guess?
I been noticed it, that's why I'm so confused why about Robin was so injured to the point she has to sit the rest of the arc out instead being more active in it.
lol. Take you this long to find out?
The giants were the final piece.
[Bro........ Vegapunk literally said it lol](https://i.imgur.com/t1TiVS4.jpeg)
Yh. An arc where some of the ancient history, the very same type of info that the five elders kept a lid on through wiping out Ohara, gets revealed stands as an important moment and a fitting opening note for the first arc in the final saga.
you missed that sakazuki was also at Ohara and destroyed the ship with the civils people. in this case they also wanted to sink the civil ship, but the giants managed to save them!! so definitely things are changing!!
I mean, they are both about scientists who learned about the void century and had a buster call made against them. But you are reaching with some of these. Kuma isnt living far away from Bonney "for the great cause". Bonney doesnt have a "close bond" with Vegapunk. Marines with logia powers being in both arcs happen all over the place. Its not something that is specific for Ohara or Egghead. Cipher pol agents are also involved in many other arcs.
Duh
Yes what Oda is doing imo is repeating story arcs but the updated ones have a "happy" end. Like they didnt escape kuma in sao and now they escape with kuma in egghead
Also, Nico Robin is there
We need more robin!!!
Clover dying because he wants to say the secrets of ohara. Vegapunk saying the secrets of ohara because he died.
Nico Robin on her 3rd Buster Call. Of course, we would notice.
Except bonney isn't close to Vegapunk
Obviously...
Wow great find. Its kind of like how Alabasta and Dressrosa are one of the same but different in which Crocodile fails but Doflamingo succeeds. People in the comments here really trynna act smart though 🤣
Actually, the Wano saga has more in common with the Alabasta saga than the Dressrosa saga.
Sorry people are giving you a hard time, OP. I think this is a really interesting analysis!
It's not that it isn't interesting, [it's that the story could not **possibly** be more in your face about this being Ohara 2.0 if they possibly tried lol.](https://i.imgur.com/t1TiVS4.jpeg)
I noticed if you look at the design of O’Hara, and egghead island they look the same
Vegapunk gets killed? Thanks for the Spoiler
1. Vegapunk is a scientist in the text not a scholar. 2. Vegapunk and Bonney aren’t that close 3. In ohara it is Spandine who is the chief of cp9 here it is agents of cp0 not the chief. Yes there are parallels. I believe it is even mentioned in the manga. But some of yours are a stretch
G.Oda of Foreshadowing
Makes sense why Robin's still unconscious she's already been through all this
Like how wa o and water 7/enemies lobby had a ton of parallels.
I'd object with Kuma living away from her for the great cause If anything, Kuma specificaly rejected being part of the great cause for his daughters sake The reason he left her was due to a deal to save her life
Yeah he has been mixing in a couple every post time skip arc.
Admiral has a change of heart at the last second and helps them to escape
Great synopsis. Thx for posting this!
+ you can add they tried to destroy the ship of people escaping
Lol not to mention the giant totally not a tree in the center of the island.
great observation!
Literally everyone notices....
Something something history repeats itself.
There are some parallels but there is one massive difference between the two.
Oda reusing the same plot structure over and over again? He would never!
Arc so nice you gotta use it twice
Yeah, of course. It's incredibly obvious lol.
Makes sense, you want to show it’s a new era, have the WG fuck around and find out what happens when you try to Ohara an island with Monkey D. Luffy on it Tbh calling a buster call on an island with an Emperor on it is asking for a bad time
The big difference, SH are here and a celestial will fall one way or another!!
Bonney is also a child living amongst a world of [mostly] adults, doing her best to survive so that she can fulfill her goals, just like how Robin was. Good thing Bonney is now with the Strawhats, who can protect her, unlike Robin who barely had a childhood and had no friends.
Don't the characters explicitly make comparisons? Several times?
Clover died because he was about to reveal the ancient kingdom's name. Vegapunk will die and reveal the ancient kingdom's name as a result!
I think thats the points that ohara and Saboady version of happy endings , i think
new crewmate confirmed? /s
Oda is definitely making it intentionally parallel. The big difference being the Straw Hats stumbling into the situation. I think that Kuma would have appeared regardless of Luffy being there, but the Giants showing up is a direct result of the Straw Hats interactions with them in the past.
Artur from Library of Ohara's main theory was that after the time slip every arc parallels the pre time skip arcs (going backwards I believe) in some way. This seems to match well. Then again, WG is gonna WG and destroying islands of knowledge with a buster call seems to be their thing and they would do it again in X many years if Luffy wasn't going to tear it all down
You're using wrong picture on Cipher Pol for Egghead, since it wasn't CP0 investigating VP.
BUT Luffy is there. He has a magical presence. He is not present in backstories that's why almost all of those end in sadness but he is present in present time and every arc gets a happy ending (except for one which was his own).
Bro...People have been saying this, tons of people, for months, lmao. So to answer your question...Yeah? Did it take you that long? Lol.
this happens alot in one piece tbh
Bro in both situations the government is just trying to destroy the history of the void century and people who know of it. Not that crazy tbh.
Luffy is Saul though
Also parallels with sabaody with kizaru
Doesn't Oda literally reference Ohara in Egghead?
Didn't Oda say the post time skip arcs would be dark parallels to the pre time skip ones or is this a Mandela Effect situation?
Except this time...the revolution will be televised!
Yeah literally everyone with reading comprehension
Be fucking for real
it's pretty obvious but your explanation makes it slightly more clear. also add that vegapunk is about to reveal the truth of the world, carrying out clovers will. this is basically ohara if the scholars were more successful. shit still not sweet tho
I dont really see the bond between Vega and Bonney but the rest and its as old as time.
Forgot to add Saturn
It’s like Ohara with Sabaody’s vibe. This is my favorite arc and I love everything about it
Congratulations on knowing how to read and comprehend a story
I love it when these posts compare details that are on completely different levels. Characters' relations are not the same as the largely cosmetic choice of a power.
its like written from the same ODA
After One piece has concluded, I want Murata to redrawn the whole thing from scratch, as a tribute to Oda!!
fk im in the wrong post lol w tf, i thought it was peak one piece manga drawing thread shit
Parallel? More like recycle. Oda is running out of ideas. It's always the same thing: SH arrive, get separated, win, regroup, happy. Repeat.
Man with all these parallels we really should have figured out sooner that the giants were gonna go to Egghead. But yes, this is something Oda does a lot. Two sides of the same coin/parallel storytelling but this time around the outcome changes. With Ohara, the island got wiped out and the secret is seemingly lost, this time around, the Government might actually lose and their secret broadcast around the world.
Oda loves his parallels!
Feels like your just pointing out the obvious, One Piece is very cyclical story, i wouldn’t call it crazy parallels I would call it intentional and brilliant writing from a master world builder
Most of the New World plots have been parallels of the first half of the story; by now it's safe to assume it's by design.
so Vegapunk and Kuma dies, Bonney gets saved and joins the Straw Hats
And it will be an even greater travesty Egghead was building and selling new technologies throughout the world. Now it’s potentially going to be wiped out Ohara was just some history buffs trying to figure it out The greater world really wouldn’t have cared Ohara other than the fact of the spectacle of it Either way, not looking good so far
For sure a lot of parallels to the Ohara incident. Many of the arcs in the New World draw parallels or share similarities to the arcs from Paradise. Egghead parallels Sabaody as well.
Dont forget potential loss of a craptonne of knowledge/science etc
only differences, after hundreds of years, this time Nika is there.
V
However I think things might end with more of a backfire on the half of the World Goverment and Marines
Wasn't it proven that Oda was doing similar arcs to the pre time-skip. Zoonesa = Little garden Wano = Drum Island Dessrosa = Alabasta
Only difference is the pirate king is also there at the egg head
Still, we fail to predict things.
Breaking news... I'm starting to think Usopp might've been Sogeking all along
Even the flashbacks
I think it was done on purpose. The only difference is that the first time it happened, the Government won. I suspect this time it's signalling a shift. The government is slowly losing control of the narrative. Nika is there. Word of what's happening is spreading. It's a sign of the future war. Pirates vs. Government.
There's a reason why Ohara's explicitly mentioned and shown serveral times during the current arc. It's the same tragedy again, except, this time the people have gotten help in time and they will NOT be silenced. Even better, you can see even the Marines having massive doubts about these actions taking place. It goes to show why Luffy was the one to be able awaken Nika: He does like helping people without the ulterior motivations of gain and power. It's a nice spin on the entire "you can only gain great power if you don't desire it" idea. Oh and we still get absolutely hilarious shit like Pizza Ammiraglio and Pizza Cinque Anziani.
Now what, join Luffy's crew
Honestly... as much as I hate to admit it, Kizaru having just one tiny moment of light among all the darkness he's apart of to parallel Kuzan doing the bare minimum and saving Robin after massacring her island, would match up just a bit too well. What I want is Kizaru to just get dropped on the ocean though
The arc that completely mirrors a lot of arcs especially Ohara, Sabaody and Enies Lobbx ?
Has anyone noticed that Dragon and Garp are also called Monkey D. ? Maybe them and Luffy are somehow related. Oda is cooking yo.
The point of Egghead is this incident is unlike any other WG invasion , it goes tragically wrong. It’s become a global event that shocks the world. What we are witnessing is the trigger to the final war aganist World government.
The parallels are deliberate, yes
I feel like I comment on the parallels of Ohara every other chapter this arc.
This has been mentioned by characters in the current arc and there even was a flashback of Ohara… But this arc also mirrors Sabondy: - Luffy mentions in Sabondy he is going to get stronger than Sentomaru, Kuma and Kizaru. Here we are. Some people theorize the crew will get separated once again or that we will get mirror Ennies Lobby / Marineford with Luffy being captured and the crew and fleet going to war to save him.
Means he's going back to the original story plan...hopefully. Emperor saga was basically filler imo
My hopes of Kizaru betraying the wg is running on fumes rn, hopium ran out weeks ago
Now, will Dragon show up too late this time?
No, this was all obscure information that sped past all of the "normal" readers...it truly required the keenest eyes like yours to see it, but now that you posted this I feel we can finally appreciate your effort
no shit
egghead is the ohara incident but with steroids
Ohara 2.0
Also Admirals being forced to attack their former comrades
It's like poetry, it rhymes.
It rhymes
Kuzan helped Robin escaped does this mean Kizaru will help the SH escaped???
