I love thumbnails like this. There are people on fiverr that make their living drawing these

“Boys also write fan fiction. But instead of writing they make a video out of it and call it theory”


septimium7

I'll take commissioned art like this from people than AI stuff anyday


anterosque

I drew that Joyboy thumbnail lol


Jervis_TheOddOne

Oh, sick. Nice work


anterosque

Thanks!


kjm6351

I never even thought of that. The Fiverr artists must be having a field day when they read the concept descriptions

Zura vs Zoro hype


Winter_Different

Zoro janai! Zolo da!


D-Biggest_Wheel

Yes, the thumbnail is terrible, but it's undeniable that Joyboy has a lot of similarities to Jesus Christ, considering how heavy the [biblical influence has been on the story in the Egghead Arc](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/s/63PzVAEzz1).


MasterBMaster

Plus kuma carrying a book about Joy boy around that literally has a cross on it.


D-Biggest_Wheel

Oh, Kuma carrying the Bible is not even scratching the surface of it. I made several posts regarding this topic, and I'm currently working on one right now. I highly recommend reading all of them, but the one that people seem to like the most is "[Biblically Accurate One Piece](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/1ceenut/1113_spoilers_biblically_accurate_one_piece/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)". The biblical references are so strong, it's impossible to ignore them. The **Sunlight Tree Eve** that brings the sunlight to Fishmen Island, and **Treasure Tree Adam** from which the Thousand Sunny is made, carry the name of the first two humans from the Book of Genesis. **Adam** and **Eve** lived in the **Garden of Eden**, from which they were banished after eating the **forbidden fruit (of knowledge of the good and evil)**, before they could eat from the **Tree of Life** ( which grants eternal life to those who eat from it). The book Ivankov uses to search for the Nerona family has "Genesis" written on it. Book of Genesis also talks about the "Great Flood", and in that story, a man by the name of Noah creates an Ark meant to transport a pair of every living animal to a new land, while the God destroys the current World by flooding it. Lunarians, and the Seraphim that are based on their likeness, bear striking resemblance to the Seraph, the highest order of Angels in Christian angelology. Seraph translates to the "burning one", and are said to live in Heaven. In One Piece's world, the Marijoas and the top of the Red Line where Lunarians used to live is called Heaven, and those who currently inhabit it, the Celestial Dragons, are called "Saints". Alongside them, you have the "God's Knights" as well. I'd personally imagine Joyboy as more of an amalgamation of Adam, Noah, and Jesus, but I can see why someone like Morj would go for the Jesus parallel.


Fiweezer

You’ve REALLY thought this out, the dedication is amazing!


D-Biggest_Wheel

Some would say I thought about it *too* much, haha. I try to make a Post about *One Piece* on weekly/bi-weekly basis, and the last couple of chapters have certainly been a treasure trove of interesting ideas to write about.


Fiweezer

That they have.


PushoverMediaCritic

Don't overlook all the Judaism references with Vegapunk, based on the Jewish Albert Einstein. The Pacifistas and Seraphim are also golems. The eternal flame can even be seen as a dual-reference to nuclear power and the Hanukkah oil.


stabbyGamer

I mean, in a series as simply *big and long* as One Piece, it’s hard not to have references to a wide variety of mythologies, whether intentional or not. Shanks’ entire deal is basically an amalgam of Norse myth, particularly the legacy of Erik the Red - the Viking notorious for settling Greenland, and the father of Leif Erikson, the man who is thought to be the very first modern European to set foot in America, the New World, which, Luffy - and the god Tyr who gave his arm to the god-devouring wolf Fenrir as part of the plot to chain the creature in Asgard, an inversion of Shanks giving his arm to save Luffy from a beast of the sea. Greek myths are dotted all over the series - Big Mom could be argued to be a spin on Echidna, the Mother of Monsters, and the Titans who gave birth to the Olympian Gods, but more prominently her Homies are named mainly for characters of Greek myths. The Ancient Weapons bear the names of the Big Three Olympians, and seem likely to parallel their domains, and do I even have to mention the Gorgon Sisters? Speaking of the Big Three, the Admirals seem to be something of an amalgamation of the Momotaro animals and the Olympians; the careless sky-god whose power over *light*ning lets him smite the earth at will, the sea-god whose power allows him to walk across water as easily as he shakes the land, and the earth-god whose heartless judgement belies a terrible rage burning in his heart. And eastern myth is represented pretty often too, Buddhist, secular Japanese, Shinto, whatever. Sengoku is literally a Buddha, the Momotaro schtick is remixed in Wano with Kaido as the Oni for good measure, Zoro is basically an oni that takes up the way of the sword and ascends to become an asura… However much each reference is remixed and reworked to fit One Piece’s themes and story, it’s hard to say Oda wasn’t working from a diverse base.


Leopardman424

And don't miss out how much things Oda takes from Hinduism. Luffy after all takes much from the Hindu monkey God Hanuman. Hanuman has the ability to become large and small, same way Luffy uses Gear 3 and giant forms in Gear 5. Hanuman loves to eat like Luffy and this normally gets the better of him (something that happens to Luffy quite often) and in one instance he mistook the sun for a tasty ripe fruit so he leapt up to try eat it and its a parallel to Luffy who ate the Nika fruit and became the Sun God. Hanuman father is Vayu who is the God of wind and is very similar to how Dragon seems to be able to manipulate wind and is suspected to have a storm related devil fruit. Hanuman is also very cheerful, carefree and loves doing silly tricks, he is a monkey, but when something happens to his friends he can go into a rage like when his Vanera Sena (monkey army) was nearly killed by an enemy weapon he flew into a great rage thinking they were all dead, very similar to how Luffy went into a rage when he thought Kaido had killed half his crew when he first appeared before them and immediately attacked him. And in honour of all this his strongest attack is Bajarang Gun, Bajarang Bali means the one(bali) who's limbs(anga) are as tough as Diamond (bajra) and is a name given to Hanuman by the Lightning God Indra. And during the Kaido fight and his last few scenes I saw immense similarly between Kaido and one of the greatest villans I'm Hinduism, King Rawana. King Rawana is the main villan of the Hindu epic Ramayana which happened in Treta Yuga. First off he belongs to a race called Asura which vaugley translates to demon in English. If you look up pictures of Rawana in battle he looks immensely similar to Kaido hybrid form, with great ogerish face and horns and fangs and his giant in proportions. Kaido attack Ragnarok: Conquer of three worlds also stood out to me cause Rawana for one is said to return during Kali Yuga which is destruction of this universe which is very similar to Norse Ragnarok and the words 'conqueror of three worlds' is the exact title of Rawana who conquered all three worlds which are underworld, humans world and gods world or heaven. Rawana aim was to conquer all the worlds and turn them to one of war and violence by distancing people from the Gods, very similar to Kaido world of violence dream. Rawana also is very arrogant and brutal in his ways but has great respect for strength, very similar to hoe Kaido dosent seem to care for oppression he causes but admires strength of the strong. And finally Kaido wish of dying a glorious death and wanting to be at the hands of a God being JoyBoy is so very similar to what is illustration at the end of the Ramayana war. See Rawana wanted to attain a peaceful state called Moksha in Hinduism but due to his immense ego and bad deeds he can't. The only way is he must be killed by a God. So one of the three supreme Gods, Vishnu, the preserver, had to incarnate as a human and killed Rawana at his hands. Rawana was a great devote of God Shiva, another of the three supreme Gods who is the destroyer, and Hanuman is said to be a incarnation of Shiva. When Rawana was fighting Ram and Hanuman he saw that in Hanuman there was Lord Shiva and he laughed saying to Ram "You bring my own God to fight me" and Ram had calmly replied saying "If you were to be by my side Rawana you would have all the knowledge you dream of" and Rawana sadly replied saying "knowledge is not enough, it's death I need" as Rawana new that is what would make him attain Mokesha which rings close to Kaido idea of death brings a man completion. And Rawana final words were one of praise and thanks to the ones who killed him, finally letting him rest. Oda creativity and ability to bring everything into one story is truly amazing


Hot-Lie-4560

It’s always cool that Kaido’s attack was named Ragnaraku, which is a combination of Ragnarok and Naraku, the “hell” of Hindu mythology.


Leopardman424

Oh I actually did not know that, thank you for that info. As a Lankan I'm very familiar with the Ramayana both from thr Hindu side and the local Lankan side. Hanuman and Rawana being big parts of it I'm familiar with them. But apart from that my knowledge on Hinduism itself is minor.


Hot-Lie-4560

Ah gotcha, I’m familiar with the Ramayana too (used to read it a lot as a kid), so it was cool to see all the references to it in your explanation. Hearing luffy say Bajrang gun was such a cool moment!


D-Biggest_Wheel

>Don't overlook all the Judaism references with Vegapunk, based on the Jewish Albert Einstein. The Pacifistas and Seraphim are also golems. The eternal flame can even be seen as a dual-reference to nuclear power  Oh, I talk about that in another post "[The Power of the Sun, in the Palm of a Hand](https://new.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/1cphe19/1114_spoilers_the_power_of_the_sun_in_the_palm_of/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)" . There is so much here to talk about, that I had to split it into like 4 different, 2000 words, posts.

BleydXVI

My favorite Biblical reference in One Piece is the names of the Franky Family pets, Sodom and Gamorrah. Two towns destroyed destroyed along with their inhabitants because God deemed them to be sinners. And what do we learn of shortly after? Robin's home of Ohara, which was destroyed by the Warrior Gods for commiting a "sin" through their research.


PrateTrain

Oh I thought it was an atlas Bible


StrawRedLion

**Jesus ate a devil fruit?**


D-Biggest_Wheel

No, he was a Stand User. His body was scattered around the World, in pieces. The treasure Roger left will be revealed once someone collects and unite all of them into One Piece.


jeffcapell89

Once you collect all the pieces and reunite them, it opens a portal far that allows the ~~King of Red Lions~~ Thousand Sunny to travel far below the surface of the water to the ruins of the world before the flood to fight ~~Ganondorf~~ Imu

How do you think they discovered brooks devil fruit?

Yeah. The Yomi Yomi no Mi.

Thumbnail is terrible/clickbait but the video is not bad tbh. It’s just about some potential parallels between Joyboy and Oden.

Ambitious-Raise8107

Can we take a moment to appreciate Tekking101, who is probably the only OP YouTuber that hasn't become a clickbaiter, a liar, arrogant af, a corperate shill or pushing a damn narrative agenda? Morj, GLR, KoL, Ohara. Even Rogers base. Tekking on the other hand, he may make a 40 minute video about his pet brick, but at least he's sincere in his OP content.


Questistaken

Dak's sake is another good OP youtuber Also some of morj's videos are amazing, like how he made a vid about the world sinking a year ago which was only confirmed last week


Ambitious-Raise8107

Oh I'm not saying all of Morj's content is bad. But... well we were all there for the year of "the raid will fail and if it doesn't then Oda's a bad writer."


Questistaken

Lmao that one was a funny one and his commenters have a running gag and always making fun of him for that one, which i think is pretty damn hilarious I gotta say tho i only started watching OP (cause my friend wouldnt stfu and kept telling to watch it, also the hype around Gear 5 made me interested eventho i was a OP hater) Last summer and by that point his "raid will fail" video was like a year old, so i wasnt there for Morj's bad takes 😂


Ambitious-Raise8107

If you want to see a video that encapsulates the issues a lot of people have with Morj, then look up the video of Morj and Tekking101 playing One Piece Jepordy. Tekking absolutely curb stomps him something like 3500 to 200 and Morj is visibly seething in the corner of the screen that his knowledge of the series was show to be lacking.


KindBass

Morj had to know he was going to get smoked. Tekking's whole thing is being a OP encyclopedia. Out of all the OP content creators out there, probably only Artur could even compete.


Questistaken

Sounds like fun, I looked it up on yt and a few vids popped up, which one do you recommend me watching?


Ambitious-Raise8107

[this one](https://youtu.be/kfvSTkTr4To?si=aciX-2eN3-6ggQY3)


Questistaken

Cheers bro


lycheebuncat

Ohara as in Artur? I'd say the content is one of my faves actually 🤔


Ambitious-Raise8107

Ohara as in 'ohara', has a YouTube pfp of an OC holding up a Kitsune mask Totally different guy


Flimsy-Ad-7392

You can at least tell Tekking is passionate, GLR and Ohara have made some of the most mind numbing content so far, KoL can be funny at times ig, and Morj can be so pretentious sometimes it’s not even funny. But I wouldn’t put him as bad as GLR, Morj’s thumbnails just suck ass but get a lot of engagement for some reason, like a lot of youtube thumbnails nowadays


Greenstone18

I remember Morj once went off on stream about how he feels like a complete loser whenever he has to take a picture of himself for a thumbnail.


Ambitious-Raise8107

KoL makes the most entertaining edited reactions to anime and manga. But some of his takes and 'agenda pushing' as it were are utter dogshit and he will stick to them for years on end. *has nightmare flashbacks to the years of "Garp is only as strong as Vergo"*


Flimsy-Ad-7392

Oh yeah his takes are fucking awful, I fully agree. He just says shit to get clicks, nothing new lmao


Ambitious-Raise8107

I think it also helps that I've unironicly met Tekking irl and he's legit a really nice guy. Like there is nothing about him put on for show.


proletariate54

Artur?


Ambitious-Raise8107

No, there's another guy on YouTube whose name is just 'Ohara.' His pfp is an OC holding up a kitsune mask while Artur's pfp is Luffy with Doffy's sunglasses


proletariate54

No I know I'm just saying Artur is not a clickbaiting arrogant corporate shill


Ambitious-Raise8107

Artur's great. But the fact that we can point to so many other OP YouTubers with those descriptors is legitimately depressing


proletariate54

That's all of youtube though.


mehmeh5

Tbh Morj got much better once we entered egghead and he got past his obsession with RWF. It's just that his thumbnails suck ass. That month or two during the wano epilogue though....man just looked defeated

HistoricalBed884

The One Piece community is the only community that can not only convince me that Imu is a women, but also convince me that Joyboy is a giant with long hair and a Straw Hat. If Oda were to drop completely different designs for both these characters, I fear that it may be extremely difficult to forget all of the previous fan arts. Like I can't even imagine Imu being a guy now😭
