Lonely Boy

Weevil's identity is still a mystery.

I have a theory that he is the original Kamazo.

I think he inherited the title similar to how Onimaru became Gyukimaru after Kawamatsu was captured.

I think there are hints. Weevil and Killer have the same long and wild blonde hair.

His neck scar looks like it could have been caused by Queen's collar.

His mustache looks like a crescent moon which could be connected to the moon symbol from Wano.

Weevil was recently captured by Greenbull.

Which has led to a popular theory that he was desiccated and now really looks like Whitebeard.

Which would be a call back to Weevil thinking he looks identical to Whitebeard.

I think it will be a similar to how Shinobu transformed back to her old self.

I think he will end up looking identical to Killer not Whitebeard.

I think Weevil is a genius on Vegapunk level. Franky brought up the idea of there being such a person in Dressrosa.

I think Luffy hinted at it when he said Vegapunk was a ninja for cloning himself.

Interestingly enough Raizo was called The Genius Ninja.

Ace told Tama to become a Bewitching Kunoichi.

Which ended up foreshadowing Shinobu.

And Tama becoming her student. So maybe a literal genius ninja will appear.

Vegapunk's technology to transfer Devil Fruit powers to inanimate objects appeared in Wano. Which is odd since Wano is an isolationists country.

Weevil has been connected to Vegapunk. Miss Buckin claims he can prove that Weevil is Whitebeard's son.

Killer seems like he also has a connection to Vegapunk. Shaka wears a similar helmet to him. And his partner Killer is associated with the word Punk.

I think there is precedent for Killer with Duval.

He ended up looking like Sanji's wanted poster.

And his epithet "Iron Mask" was foreshadowing that Sanji was a twin and unwanted twin. Coincidentally Sanji was also forced to wear an iron mask after Judge had him imprisoned.

Another hint I think could be when Sanji asked Duval why he didn't change his appearance like growing a beard.

This might connect to Weevil. If my theory is correct, he could have seen Whitebeard when he shipwrecked on Wano.

It looks like Weevil's arm was reattached which shows medical knowledge especially if he did it himself.

Vegapunk himself is skilled in medicine.

I think Weevil being a ninja could be symbolic. York Vegapunk's greed end up betraying him.

Which had clever foreshadowing. Bonney stated that Vegapunk's endless quest for scientific knowledge would spare no one it's greed.

And Lilith questioned if it was possible to limit the greed of living creatures.

Samurai famously do not feel hunger.

And Ginrummy did make it clear that ninja are samurai.

Also, weevils are infamous for eating crops which can cause famine. That might be an extra layer to it.

I think Weevil's connection to Whitebeard is that he enhanced himself with his blood.

Miss Buckin said he had the blood of Whitebeard I think this will turn out to be literal.

Kizaru did state Weevil has the strength of Whitbeard in his youth.

Caesar Clown was determined to outshine Vegapunk.

He even joined with Judge to create NEO MADS to do this. This is how I think Weevil will show his brilliance, succeeding at experiments Vegapunk failed at.

I think Weevil will crack gigantification.

And figure out how to copy Logias.

I think he will accomplish this at the copy of the Punk Hazard lab on Whole Cake Island.

I think Luffy also hinted on why Weevil is dumb. He asked Vegapunk if he was dumb from cutting down his head. I think Weevil hacked Punk Records and it damaged his mind.

Punk Records has the ability to connect to other people brains.

I think Weevil created the Marys and used their technology to hack Punk Records.

They can share their eyesight with cyborg animals which to me suggests their brains are linked.

Stussy's epithet was the "Science Robber" I think she teamed up with Weevil to hack Punk Records to steal Vegapunk's technology. in particular the way to enhance yourself with donor blood. Think Punk Records damaged his mind. I think maybe that is the reason she claimed Vegapunk can prove his heritage because Punk Records has Weevil's memory of performing the experiment.

If my theory is correct, it might add another layer of meaning to Weevil. In Kamazo kama means for sickle in it and I think zo is play on word for elephant since Killer would have turned into an Elephant SMILE.

Weevil's head looks like it was cut off, Ganesha is the god of intelligence and in some of his lore his head was cut off and replaced with an elephant's head. Zunesha's name seems inspire by Ganesha.

Interestingly enough in the first visual of the Gifters we see an Elephant SMILE with the head of an elephant.

I also feel like Orochi giving Killer a SMILE fruit was meant to torment him.

I think he was punishing him for looking like Weevil similar to Big Mom with Chiffon.

I think another hint that there was a genius ninaj in Wano is Black Maria. I think Weevil gave her drug to alter her Zoan form.

She has the ability to create illusions.

With something called Illusion Mist. I think this in genjutsu, a ninja technique, she learned from Weevil.

Mary Geoise is currently being attacked, and I think it's the work Weevil.

I think the man with the straw hat Shyarly saw was Weevil. I think the hat she saw was the giant one from Mary Geoise. I think Weevil will end up stealing it, he is big enough to wear it.

I think he will destroy Fish-Man Island capturing Shirahoshi because of her being Poseidon.

It seems like Loki's friend Mosa is in trouble and I think that is the reason why.

It has been all but confirmed that Mosa is Shirahoshi.

Weevil's lineage is a mystery.

Although he claims to be Whitebeard's son no one believes him. Not even the Navy who is employing him

I have a theory he is Captain John's son.

It is because he and Miss Buckin are after Whitebeard's massive inheritance.

And Captain John has a legendary treasure hidden somewhere.

I think his connection to Whitebeard is that he augmented himself with Newgate's blood.

But I think similar to Numbers although he got stronger and lost his intelligence.

I think there are hints. Miss Buckin states he has blood of Whitebeard which I think will turn out to be literal.

Kizaru does make it clear that he has the strength of a young Whitebeard.

Miss Buckin also stated that Vegapunk could prove Weevil is Whitebeard's son. This seems related to the Lineage Factor. In the same page it was revealed that Weevil was captured by Greenbull which I think will lead to the biggest clue.

There is a theory that Weevil was desiccated by Greenbull and will end up really looking like Whitebeard.

There is even a fan made picture of it.

A call back to this scene. I think he will indeed look identical his father but it will be Captain John.

If Weevil did indeed augment himself I think he is a genius on Vegapunk's level.

I think John being a previous user of the Jiki Jiki no Mi and constructing a metal arm shows he had mechanical and engineering skills like Kidd. And passed down his scientific abilities to Weevil.

Caesar's goal was to prove he was smarter than Vegapunk.

He reiterated it when Vegapunk was killed. So the idea of a scientist equaling Vegapunk is still out there.

Franky was abandoned by his parents who were pirates. Oda revealed in a SBS that Queen is his father.

I think it will be revealed his mom is Miss Buckin. We know she was in MADS with Queen.

Miss Buckin epithet was "Science Robber" so her being around Weevil I think hints he is a scientist.

I think Weevil's scars hints at him being in the Beasts Pirates and also more clues to Weevil's science prowess. His neck scar seems like it was the work of Queen's collar.

We know that the Red Hair Pirates clashed with the Beasts Pirates. I think during the scuffle Weevil lost his arm.

Kidd also lost his left arm to the Red Hair Pirates which I don't think is a coincidence.

His arm looks reattached which I think hints to medical knowledge and skill.

I think think while in the Beasts Pirates that Weevil created the Marys.

And gave Black Maria the drugs to alter her Zoan transformation.

I think being desiccated will somehow bring back his intelligence and he will return to the Beasts Pirates.

I think he will show his brilliance by cracking gigantification and copying Logias which Vegapunk hasn't figured out yet.

I think he will do it in Big Mom's replica of the Punk Hazard lab.

The ability of Benjamin's Guardian Spirit Beast is still a mystery.

We do know that spirit beasts take after their vessel.

Benjamin has been noted for being impulsive and preferring shortcuts.

I think Halkenburg will be a big clue in what the ability is.

It was revealed that Halkenburg and Benjamin are full brothers.

In hindsight there were hints, they do look very similar. I think they are supposed to juxtapose each other.

Both of their Nen beasts stay perched on their shoulders. While Halkenburg's beast is top heavy Benjamin's beast is bottom heavy.

Their relationship with Tserriednich. Benjamin absolutely hates him.

While Tserriednich is the only prince that Halkenburg accepts.

There abilities juxtapose each other as well. While their abilities rely on a unified group and sacrifice. Halkenburg shares in on the risks while Benjamin only reaps benefits.

Both abilities work with marking with them with symbols. Stars for Benjamin and feathers for Halkenburg. On the palm for Benjamin and on back of the hand for Halkenburg.

Which relate to their accomplishments. Feathers on an arrow. Halkenburg won a silver medal in archery.

And stars for Benjamin who received military stars in the military.

When using his ability Halkenburg's followers' aura become an unparallel armor to portect him and an arrow to pierce his enemies.

As juxtaposition I think Benjamin will have a shield and pike. Images used to symbolize the princes advantages. I think it symbolizes the monarchy which Halkenburg is so against but Benjamin is pro.

I think it will a damage transference ability. It will be able to displace all damage even his sickness.

The pike is ornate with a lion which I think is a nod to Benjamin. When we first meet him he is wrestling a lion.

I think it's a nod to his sin of pride (lion's sin of pride).

Nasubi told Halkenburg that being king is bearing a cross and we are shown an image of Cronus eating his children.

I think this hints that Benjamin will have to sacrifice his illegimate child to activate his spirit beasts ability. He wants to make them king.

But illegitimate children have no succession rights.

It was brought up by Balsamilco that there might be a condition that will let a prince see the Nen beasts. I think Benjamin will fulfill that condition.

It was revealed Allen's hair was not bleached by despair.

But was divine protection place on him by Lavi.

A blessing in contrast to the curse he received from Mana.

But it does bring into question who Allen summoned into the Akuma.

Especially with the reveal of the Earl and Mana being one and the same.

The Earl remembers that night and is confuse why he did not kill Allen. It seems likely his feelings for Allen stopped him.

I think Cross Marian gave him his cursed eye. Similar to Lavi having silver hair I think it will be revealed that Cross masks hides a mark identical to Allen's.

Cross was their that night watching.

It is still a mystery why the Buccaneers are special.

They were hunted by the World Government due to some grave crime they committed.

Ivankov stated they had giant's blood.

If true it doesn't seem like it's the reason there special. Vegapunk alluded to being another reason why they are so special.

Scopper Gaban confirmed that Buccaneers are mixed-race but he wasn't specific about which two races make them up.

Colon is a human-giant, half-human. So far he has not been connected to the Buccaneers. What has been notable about having giant's blood is an extended lifespan which Kuma and Clapp lack.

Large humans have been compared to Buccaneers. Kuma was compared in size by Whitebeard.

A Tenryubito accused the Davy Clan of being Buccaneers. Which makes me think that there are hidden Buccaneers in the story.

I think Pound is a Buccaneer. I think it explains why Big Mom kidnapped to procreate.

I think there are small hints. Luffy and Nami at first believed Pound was a giant which ties in with the rumor of Buccaneers having giant blood.

And Judge did bring up giants and large humans which to me signaled at their being some connection between the two races.

It seems like Pound's family has a sixth sense. Pez could tell Pound was his grandfather.

It seems like Lola sensed when Pound was attacked.

After getting her memory back Lola retained memories from the zombie Lola.

I think it is connected to how Kuma knew Bonney was in trouble and where to find her.

I think Who's-Who Sword ate a Zoan fruit.

I think that is why the guard changed shape and stayed the same in the anime hinting it is not a mistake.

Him drawing the dagger while saying he would take the fight serious reminded me when Mihawk when drew Kogatana to fight Zoro.

But it was the opposite because Mihawk drew his smallest blade to fight weak opponents and Yoru for worthy ones. Maybe Who's-Who does the same or maybe his sword is defiant.

There are precedents with Spandam's sword Funkfreed.

And Shamrock's sword Ceberus.

I was inspired by the recent reveal of Ragnir being a Squirrel Zoan.

I wonder if it's related to the classified intelligence he ran off with. Maybe his sword that has the intelligence.

Maybe it belonged to the guard who told him about Nika.

I think there is a deeper reason why Yhwach recruited the Arrancar.

And captured Harribel.

It was stated that the Arrancar had been recruited because they were valuable assets he needed no training.

But we never saw them again and funny enough the Shinigami side ended up using Arrancar soldiers. I was hoping that the anime would expand that plot point.

But I think the true reason Yhwach recruited them were as a backup to Ichigo to break the Soul King's seal. In the anime Yhwach revealed he needed someone who was a Shinigami, Quincy, Human, Hollow and Fullbringer to break the seal. I think he used the Arrancar as a base to create the being he needed. Arrancar already have Shinigami and Hollow powers and Yhwach was able to grant Ebern Quincy powers.

I think BG9 is a result of this. There is a theory that BG9 is Shawlong Koufang because of their similarities. And in the anime they have the same voice actors. I think he was experimented on but ended up becoming a full Quincy. Him having a 9 in his name suggests he is the ninth version.

Although she is a minor character I think Roka might appear in the Hell Arc.

She treated Yamma's arm before he unceremoniously smashed her head in.

She was revealed o be alive and her story expanded in the Bleach novels Spirits Are Forever You and Can't Fear Your Own World. She was originally in Szayelaporro Granz' Fracción and he experimented on her.

I think this Arrancar also was a former member of Szayelaporro Granz' Fracción due to them having the same uniform as Roka.

He appears a couple of times.

Another reason I think he was formerly in Szayelaporro's fraccion is because he was terrified about telling Aizen that Szayelaporro sent the Exequias. I think this hints at a deeper relationship and that the fear was because of Szayelaporro experimenting on him in the past.

Gin was trying to restore to Rangiku what Aizen stole from her.

Aizen shaved her soul like he did to other inhabitants of Rukongai with Shinigami potential and he fed to the Hogyoku.

In the Bleach novel Can't Fear Your Own World it was revealed that this part of her was really a fragment from the Soul King.

The concept of characters carrying pieces of Reio was hinted by Gerard Valkyrie who is rumored to be Reio's heart and Pernida his left arm.

In the anime it was shown that Rangiku reacted to Gerard Valkyrie.

I think this is a clue that Gerard's power "The Miracle" will be used to restore Rangiku's Reio fragment.

I think Inbi from the Numbers will play an important role in the future of the story.

I think he is the Ace of the Beasts Pirates since the Ace card can be counted as one and Inbi represents the One card.

We know Ace himself is card themed and I feel like there will be a connection.

Rocks revealed that he needed two Devil Fruits with one being on Elbaph which only Harald could unlock it's true power.

Loki end up eating it. A commonality between Loki and Harald is their ancient giant blood. Inbi is a failed artificial ancient giant.

I think Inbi will end up eating a copy of Loki's Devil Fruit which I believe is a mythical zoan. I feel like the artificial devil fruits and science in general will make the One Piece more up for grabs since it seems like you need certain items and people to get it. Like Poseidon, the Nika fruit and Loki's fruit.

This is probably a coincidence but when I looked up Inbi I found out it was the initializing of the Greek translation of Jesus, King of the Jews.

One Piece has a lot of Christian symbolism and I feel think Nika has some aspects of Jesus to him, since he the savior of the One Piece verse.

I mentioned that Inbi might have a connection to Ace. Roger thought Ace would find the One Piece and the World Government hunting him down is reminiscent of how King Herod tried to hunt down Jesus when he learned he would be born.

It seems like Imu will be partially inspired by Emperor Nero since their family name is Nerona. Imu's archenemy seems to be Nika. I think there could be more allusions to Jesus since he was executed by Rome and Nero was believed to be the Antichrist.

I have a gut feeling that that Shaka looks identical to Killer.

It's because they wear really similar masks. And I think it is a possibility Killer will run into Lilith.

Killer was headed for Elbaph with his crew.

The same place Lilith is right now.

Killer's mask was partly destroyed by Shank's attack which I think means he will be without it.

I think it's a real possibility that the Kid Pirates were imprisoned in the Underworld. Loki did reveal that humans who chose battle with Elpaph were sent their as punishment.

I think Lilith might find a way to cure Killer. Vegapunk did know about Caesar's SMILES which he called aberrations.

Elbaph is home to an ancient lab.

Which Lilith decided to settle down and live in.

The Satellites can alter their appearance and body how the see fit. I think Shaka decided to look like Killer for some reason.

Maybe he is a fan of like Bartolomeo with Luffy.

When the Quincy first appeared Urahara explained that they were a clan, with spiritual powers like Ichigo, dedicated to fighting Hollows.

Later on it was revealed that they were "fathered" by Yhwach. All Quincy have his blood flowing in them.

This was the belief a thousand years ago as shown through Bazz-B's flashback. That begs the question of where Yhwach came from.

According to Yhwach he is the son of the Soul King.

And the anime did reveal that Yhwhach has a mother and was born from her.

Yhwach is a power sharing Quincy who are rare.

Quincy who can use The Almighty are deemed True Quincy by Yhwach.

The only other person who can use it is Haschwalth, a power sharing Quincy, so it seems like power sharing Quincy are True Quincy.

I think the folklore surrounding the power sharing Quincy hints at the Quincy origins. I believe that originally only one Quincy could exist in the world. Similar to how only one power sharing Quincy was born every few decades

Quincy and Shinigami are opposites. While Shinigami can multiply their numbers I think originally there could be only Quincy at a time, meaning their power would reincarnate after a Quincy dies.

I know in Japanese the Quincy were called magic hunters I think similar to the Shinigami that was their original name. Until Yhwach came along turning them into a race with a new name.

I think the Quincy transformed by gaining Shinigami powers through the same method used to create Substitute Shinigami.

I think they got their Shinigami powers from the Ise Clan. I think there are clues to this with the similarity between power sharing quincy and Shinigami.

Power sharing Quincy have the opposite power of a Quincy.

Shinigami and Quincy have opposite opposite powers.

In ancient times Shinigami were known as Balancers.

Jugram's power is the The Balance which he shares with Yhwach.

The Quincy practice blood purity.

Something the Shinigami also do.

Also it seems like pure blooded Shinigami are called True Blood which to me sounds similar to the True Quincy.

Shinken Hakkyoken the Ise Clans family zanpakuto has the ability to fight gods.

Quincy blood forces them to cut down Soul King who is a Bleach universes god.

Byakuya speculated if constant release type zanpakutos exist.

I think this is a clue that Shinken Hakkyoken is one and it can be sealed, allowing it to share Shinigami powers.

Isuzu believed that Shinken Hakkyoken was the source of the Ise Clan. But I think it will be revealed they were cursed because of its ability to kill the Soul King.

I seems sinister that a Shinigami would develop that ability but I think it was for a noble reason since the Soul King was in torment.

The manga hinted and it was later revealed that the Soul King had his organs removed.

I think the Quincy gained the Soul King's hakusui. Which is why power sharing Quincy can use The Almighty which is the Soul King's signature ability.

It was revealed that Cross Marian's true name is Cryus Van Campbell. Meaning he is the brother of Caterina and uncle of Mana and Nea.

He was first mentioned in chapter 214 in Nea's flashback.

Cross has a memory of Nea and Mana as children which in hindsight seems like a subtle hint.

His dialogue about the Noah using and pretending to be Mana's family seems like there is a hidden meaning. Maybe deep down this is what he thinks his family did to the Earl.

Now that we know his true identity another big mystery about him is his age. It seems like he is ageless which was brought up in a Komui's Discussion Room.

Interestingly enough when Nea was questioning why Allen got younger he mentioned immortality and not aging. I have a theory that Nea made him ageless.

Allen revealed he became the host in exchange for his wish being granted. Nea called this a contract.

Allen says it is a promise he must fulfill.

Cross told Allen he made a promise to Nea to watch over Mana and he got a promise in return that he would come back. This sounds like it could be a contract.

I think it maybe it's his special ability similar to the deals the Earl makes to bring back people as Akuma.

There could be a deeper reason but I think one reason that Cross became ageless was practicality. I did take decades for Nea to awaken. It took 30 years for Cross to find Allen and 5 more years for him to start to awaken.

Big Mom stated that Kaido owed her a lifelong debt.

We discovered it was because she gave him his Devil Fruit.

Recently we saw this happen in the Loki flashback.

But funny enough Big Mom didn't give it to him he stole it.

Oda made sure to include Big Mom telling Kaid

I think Kaido will give Big Mom his soul to heal herself.

They both landed in lava and are right next to each other. Big Mom was submerged in it longer.

It was revealed that Big Mom can use her powers to heal herself.

Awakened Zoans are tougher and recover faster so I think that is how Kaido will survive.

I think it will play into his theme of having a good death. But I think Big Mom will restore his lifespan.

It was heavily hinted through Moscato that Soul Pocus can be reversed.

And Big Mom can remove the souls from Homies.

I have a theory that Ju Peter will be replaced by York.

I think it has been foreshadowed. When it was revealed that Saturn had been replaced by Garling Oda zoomed in on Ju Peter looking worried.

Due to the food shortage caused by the Revolution Army's blockade the Tenryubito did say that whoever was in charge of the food should be put to death.

The person in charge of food is Ju Peter.

The Gorosei are based on the Wuxing and the Five Classical Planets.

Although Garling is not named for a planet the Sun and Moon do play role in Wuxing and appears in the Ptolemaic model.

I think York will represent the Sun. She wants to become a tenryubito.

She is the direct subordinate of Garling who I think represents the Moon and did created the Mother Flame which is a miniature Sun.

York did hand over the Mother Flame to Imu.

Being replaced means death.

But I think Ju Peter will survive because of his Devil Fruit.

Besides Brook's power we have seen other Devil Fruits circumvent death, we had Basil with his straw powers.

And Orochi because of his mythical zoan powers.

There is a strong theory that the Gorosei are based on real world leaders. But Ju Peter has always stood out from the rest of the Gorosei for looking the youngest and not really resembling a historical leader.

I think after surviving being replaced that his face will be altered to look like a historical leader.

I think he will come to look like Fidel Castro due to Oda's admiration of him and naming Dragon's boat the Wind Granma after Castro's boat.

Longhi thinks that one of the princes is Beyond's child.

Oito does state that technically a prince has to be born from Nasubi's legal wife with no mention of paternal lineage which might be a loop hole.

A popular theory is that it is Woble. But I think it will be revealed to be Oito herself. Meaning the prince is really his grandchild.

I think it was visually foreshadowed in this panel. We see Oito standing behind Beyond and it could be interpreted as her coming from his loins.

According to Longhi Beyond's goal is to unify the world.

So he fathered illegimate children in Kakin to enter the military and get assigned to entourage of a prince.

Beyond placed a curse on his children that allowed them to use Nen from birth that is intended to activate after their death and target someone who Longhi believes is a prince.

Longhi believes that Beyond would put in on this effort to help a prince not related to him which is why she thinks one of the princes is his child. But is she is right?

Beyond himself stated he didn't care about any ceremonies and did not know know who the spy was in the Zodiacs.

Beyond states he only cares about going to the Dark Continent and would behave until they got there.

Also Longhi does admit that she is only speculating she doesn't know what Beyond's plans are.

Or what ability the curses have or who they're targets are.

I think Mizaistom may have hinted their true target Beyond himself. He stated that Neterro hoped Beyond would come for his life one day because of the restriction he placed on him. I think the son will be like the father.

I think it is related to post-mortem Nen, it is characterized as being powerful. I think Beyond wants to utilize it for his expedition to the Dark Continent.

I think Nasubi intentionally married one of Beyond's daughters. He wants his strongest prince to become king and the Netero bloodline is strong.

It might explain why he married Oito. She did reveal that she came from poverty, why not just make her mistress. Why turn a commoner into a royal?

Woble's Nen beast has yet to make an appearance but I think her potential lineage might provide a clue.

I think her Nen beast will be modeled after Jizo, a Bodhisattva. He is the protector of children, women, and unborn souls. Woble is an infant and probably wants to protect her mother.
