it is not very often when a one piece
chapter leaves me absolutely speechless
I think a lot of the time when I do my
live reactions to the new chapters I'm
excited and I can't wait to see a
character come back or a fight and I get
super hyped and I'm screaming but the
revelation at the end of one piece manga
chapter 977 just left me slap John if
you haven't already seen my live
reaction go watch it I was fun I had to
reread when I was reading multiple times
to even comprehend that this is
something that Oda would throw in during
act 3 of Water Country this is something
I had no expectation of whatsoever I
truly thought this was not the direction
the story was going but I'm grateful for
it I think this is an amazing exciting
revelation I cannot wait to see where it
is going to take this but I'm also very
sad and upset right now
because one piece is going on break next
week obviously you guys know with the
whole global situation going on right
now shounen jump as a whole is being
delayed and so we're not gonna get the
next chapter until the very end of April
but I need to know what's going on I
gotta know who is kaido's son
[Music]
now there were a multitude of different
theories on the identity of kaitos kid
that were being passed around in the
live chat of my live reaction and some
of those theories I'm not gonna give any
way to there were some people saying
that it's gonna be shanks or me Hawk no
not gonna bother discussing that but
there are a couple that did catch my
attention and there were some that we
brought up specifically during that live
reaction I want to bring up during this
video but as you can see with the title
of this video I do specifically want to
bring up one or two chapters that
happened during the punk hazard story
arc that may shed little light on kaito
son's identity now the first character
that kept coming up my live chat that
people have been theorizing could be
kaido's kid for a long time now is cata
Kearney I'm gonna say right now I do not
think that cata curry is the Sun that
Kaito was referring to for a couple of
reasons first off I am pretty sure you
guys can correct me if I'm wrong that
oda did an interview with a YouTube
group fissures in which they asked him
that question
after the Kaito and big mob reunion
chapter that it's may be possible that
kata curry is Kaito son and it explains
how caught a curry is so strong now
correct me if I'm wrong people but I'm
pretty sure that oda debunked that
theory and specifically said that kata
curry is not Kaito son so I'm gonna
write that idea off right now now
another name that kept coming up in my
live chat as the potential son of Kaito
is something that I actually threw out
there myself during my live reaction and
I noted the similarities between Kaito
and a certain mammoth boy if you look at
Kaito and you look at Jack they both
have the horns Jack has the cool like
robe looking thing Jack is acted like a
brat and the past in fact Queen and King
at both called him that so I'm wondering
especially because we don't see Jack at
the end of this chapter if maybe jack is
Kaito son now there were some people in
my chat saying no no no Jack has been
confirmed to be a full fisherman and
while I looked at the beaver card that
people were talking about it says
nothing about being a full fisherman it
says that Jack is actually a giant
Gruber Fishman but doesn't say that he's
a full giant Gruber Fishman so I'm
actually not writing off the idea that
Jack could be Taito's kid because also
think back to the suicide chapter with
Kaito we're kind of kept thinking of
ways to die if you remember there were a
lot of
people who said well if Kaito really
wants to die wisely just jump in the
water
maybe Kaito is part Fishman and that's
the reason that he can't die when he
jumps in the water because yeah he's got
a devil fruit so he can't move but he
just sinks at the bottom of the ocean
just like we saw with Jack afters oh so
maybe I'm gonna say maybe Jack could be
kaido's kid but I don't think that's the
case after looking over the rest of the
evidence and that leaves two other
characters that we've actually already
met in the story that I want to bring up
as potentially being kaitos son people
were tweeting me this idea as well then
potentially Bartolomeo could be Tytos
kid with a couple key pieces of evidence
one if you look at the crew mates of
Bartolomeo ship you'll notice that they
have these tattoos going down their arm
if you look at some of the animal
kingdom pirate members the beast pirates
you'll notice that some of them also
have the exact same tattoo running down
their arm now that could be a design
coincidence but if you think back to the
Odin flashback you'll remember that
there were two characters for the kuruma
clan that were introduced to us one that
ended up having bon clays double fruit
and the other one having Bartolomeo
devil fruit it is not out of the realm
of possibility in my opinion that maybe
Kaito got his hands on that devil fruit
and fed it to his own child and when
entertaining his idea there's a couple
other things that I want to bring up
first off do we currently know
Bartolomeo s location no the last time
we saw him was his cover story in which
he was selling bootleg straw hat
merchandise but we don't know where he
was going from there now a lot of us
presume that Bartolomeo and Cavendish
and the rest of the grand fleet are
probably on their way to onegai shima to
help luffy and the crew fight Kaito
however we have to wonder how are they
going to get there it would be a really
interesting story twist if Bart
lamanna's crew were actually already in
Watteau country and that he ended up
being Kaito son and we have this reunion
where actually Kaito son is a fanboy of
Luffy's and that adds a whole nother
twist on the fight between luffy and
Kaito I would like that I don't think
it's a strong possibility I'm gonna give
it like a 20% chance but I do think it
would be a really cool twist and the
last person I want to discuss is
potentially being Kaito son is something
that was actually thrown out there
during my live chat that was disregarded
by a lot
but they're people in the chat there
were some people saying oh there's
actually nothing there in that chapter
don't even bother to go look at it but
people were telling me to go back and
reread punk hazards specifically manga
chapter I want to say this is 675 let me
open up my page right now this is 675
page 12 and the other chapter I want to
draw your attention to is 692 on page 5
now if you remember this is smack-dab in
the middle of punk hazard when Caesar
clown was showing off smiley and the
different techniques to the underworld
brokers now they're specifically a
character during the panel where they're
talking about the criminal brokers
observing caesar clown where you see a
guy who seems to have natural horns who
has what looks like kaitos cake sitting
and looking at Caesar clowns experiment
and you see that exact same guy later on
where he's talking to another one a kind
of subordinate saying tell Jack about
this are you sure you know things will
get hairy now the first thing to note
here is that this person doesn't call
him Jack sama or Commander Jack he just
calls him Jack as if he's an equal or
someone lower than him so right there
that means that this character is
probably going to be someone who is
going to be important
moving into the later portion of the WHA
know country story arc now this doesn't
necessarily mean that this person is
going to be Kaito son but considering
the other thing that was revealed at the
end of this chapter that we're closing
in on the reveal of the Tobii rope oh
maybe this guy even if he doesn't end up
being Kaito son is going to be a member
of the Toby Robo however there is
another big thing that I want to discuss
and that is the idea of an ace among
kaido's crew now as you know we've
already had Joker being doflamingo we
have Jack we have Queen and we have King
the only one left to be revealed is ace
if there is one now I've always believed
that Kaito was the ace I had assumed
that he was the top of everything I mean
he's the strongest creature alive land
see her in the air always bet I'm tied
however if Kaito has a child I could see
that child being ranked above king queen
and Jack
but that throws a whole nother wrench
the story possibilities because again
we've got the Tobin rope oh we had the
numbers introduced at the end of that -
we haven't seen them since we don't know
what's going on with the numbers we
still don't know half of the table you
drop oh and we haven't really seen the
true potential of King or Queen yet so
what in the world is aces power going to
be and thinking about the idea that Cato
has a kid and the connections to pump
hazard this also makes me wonder maybe
this kid may be the ace of kaido's crew
or Kaido son whoever if it's not
Bartolomeo or jack or somebody we've
already seen with the devil fruit maybe
this is the reason why Cato was
specifically manufacturing artificial
smile devil fruit powers for dragons
because if he's immortal and he thinks
he's going on forever and he has the
true dragon fruit but he wants to create
the strongest beast pirate crew possible
he probably wants other dragons on his
crew and who would be the person the
right person to give the dragon double
fruit to of course his son if he had one
and this makes the idea that moment no
escape being the one who actually ate
the artificial dragon fruit even more
interesting because then it makes me
think back to what happened during the
Odin's flashback in which during the
heat of battle
Cato wanna kind of subordinates the old
lady with the body clay power turned
into mama no skate through Odin off and
then Kaito attacked Odin now Kaito
specifically brought up when Odin was
dying that he was sorry about that he
didn't want to play dirty like that
however maybe this is setting up for
something eventually happening in which
Kaito son is actually put in that
situation in which it comes down to
taking down Luffy law and kid or saving
his child and instead of trying to save
his child Kaito goes directly at law
luffy and kid and that ends up being his
downfall maybe all of this is a setup
for that I really have no idea but
moving on from the discussion about
Kaito son and his potential identity I
do want to talk briefly about the Tobey
rowboat somebody brought up something
that I thought was really interesting to
note during my live reaction I didn't
see it until they went back and reread
the live chat before I started recording
this video but it has to do with the
shoes of the tobe Robo characters now
obviously characters can change their
shoes willy-nilly and
necessarily think a shoe that looks
similar to some other character confirms
that character being one of the members
of the Toby Robo however I do wonder if
maybe that's a little bit of a tease and
a little Easter Egg that Otis thrown in
there no pun intended with it being
Easter when I'm recording this maybe
tease the identity of one of the members
of the Toby Robo now a character that a
lot of people have been wondering when
we are going to see them again is
crocodile and if you look at crocodile
shoes
he always has those little golden
buckles on the top and it looks like one
of the members of the Toby Robo has very
similar shoes is this potentially a
tease that maybe that's how crocodile
has been surviving in the new world but
the one big thing we're gonna get this
of course is that crocodile has a sand
devil fruit and not really an ancient
zone is similar to page one or empty
drink I do feel like all the other
members of the Toby Robo will probably
have ancient zone double fruits but of
course we're just gonna have to wait and
see the one I'm most interested in
finding out more about though is the
girl because I am assuming since we have
one girl here and five other people to
fight and when the panel that happened
earlier during this chapter in which you
saw luffy fighting alongside some of his
crew you'll notice his crewmates during
this chapter number one two three four
five and six meaning there's a fight
there among all the toby rofo for Jim
Bay for Zorro for Brooke for Robin for
Frankie and for Sanjay now we already
saw Santi fight page one but I would be
really interested to see the toe bureau
foe being the main opponents for the
characters that are not part of the weak
link trio that we actually saw during
this chapter putting in work against the
guards at the torii gates and speaking
of the weaklings trio I got to say I
love that panel during this chapter
we're stop Nami in shop or overlooking
the fight at the torii gates going yeah
hang in there you guys did great not
doing anything I love the three of them
they're great and you know if they're
just on the sidelines making cute
comments during the raid Nonie gosh I
might I'd be totally cool with that well
please after seeing Robin doing the stop
and attacked her in this chapter please
just give Robin a good fight please it's
been so long it's been since Yama
during sky Pia please just one good
fight for Robin please Oda please and
what we're talking about the straw hats
I gotta say I really do appreciate the
way that their big reunion with Jim Bay
led directly to their first fight
together amongst the Torrey guards and
the whole thing was just to get some
booze so they could drink some sake
and celebrate with Jim Bay I thought
that was great when I was first reading
the chapter I thought when they were
talking about smelling alcohol or they
had an idea I thought they were talking
about maybe some alcohol and laws
Submarine because they kept shifting
over to lost submarine with the samurai
so when the story evolved in the way
that it did I was really really happy
about it and speaking of the stuff on
lost submarine we find out the original
plan for the raid on onegai shima where
law is saying that the two idiots are
gonna charge right down the middle being
the distraction so the rest of them can
still go around the sides and attack
from behind so we know those two idiots
of course being goofy and Kidd they want
nothing but revenge against Kaito and we
even see a panel during this chapter in
which kid and his crew are laughing
alongside killer saying they're going to
take their revenge against Kaito and I
actually thought it was really sweet
because kids crew is known for being
kind of rough and tumble and mean and I
thought it was really nice that they
were actually encouraging killer and
being supportive little na kama to him
by laughing alongside him and saying
they're all laughing because Kaito is
gonna go down I thought that was really
nice but amongst all these revelations
we also find out the shishi lien for the
time being is going to be in charge of
them makes meanwhile old man Keough is
going to be overseeing the other samurai
that are there so the Aqua cyanine can
focus on the primary objective taking
down Kaito and Orochi overall I just
feel like this chapter gave me
everything that I could have possibly
wanted out of a one piece chapter it
gave me fodder for theorycrafting great
action sequences with the straw hats a
couple funny moments like with the
weakling trio and they were taking down
the torii gates and overall I just
cannot wait to see the rest of the tobio
towboat revealed I can't wait to see
their powers and I can't wait to find
out exactly who Kaito son is going to be
what do you guys think who do you think
Kaito son is going to be is it gonna be
a new character is going to be the ace
of Tytos crew it may it may be a
character we've already met let me know
all your theories down
