@zeltrax225 said in Chapter 1121: The Upheaval of the Era:
I was re-watching parts of Skypiea last night while drunk and I was thinking to myself, isn't the Giant electrical sphere from Enel kind of OP?
Come to think of it, the Goro Goro no mi is pretty broken. I mean, that sphere nuked an entire city in a span of a few minutes.So I thought to myself, what if Uranus is Enel's DF? What if to complete Uranus, you need Enel's DF + A certain machine?
And then I thought to myself, since I think we won't have One Piece: Space Pirates spin off and Enel needs to be relevant again, what if his relevancy was staring at our face the whole time? And the whole reason the WG can't get their hands of Uranus is because its in the sky and is constantly roaming around. Keep in mind that we have no idea about Enel's backstory.Why did Oda showed Vivi(Pluton, Alabasta), Shirahoshi(Poseidon) and then Skypiea? Because he can't show Enel as that'll outright tell you what uranus is.
It also makes sense that Uranus=electricity=infinite energy. Like, that's pretty fucking op.
So here's my theory, either Uranus is Goro goro mi awakened or it is a combination of a device + Goro goro mi. And I think the fact that he can throw a sphere and nuke an entire town/village is similar to the WG's mother flame weapon nuking an entire island. Except that Enel doesn't need the Mother flame to do so.
For those who skip Skypiea because it’s filler: this arc is basically the whole manga’s plot condensed. There is a powerful individual who considers himself the God of this world (Imu, Enel) and has the power to destroy islands. There is a famous figure from the past that didn’t fulfill a promise to a close friend (Norland and Joy Boy), but whose will is inherited and fulfilled by Luffy, even if Luffy himself didn’t do it on purpose or knew about it (ringing the bell). There’s an independent factor trying to destroy God, fighting for justice and freedom, although independently from the Strawhats (revolutionary army, Wiper). And the Strawhats themselves are just having an adventure and looking for a famous treasure.
I like this structure, I hope it works in the big picture scale as well as it did in the arc.
