 Hairstrands or earlobes a character already known to be on Onigashima or one We didn't even know was connected to Wano who is the mystery figure teased at the end of chapter 1004. Hello, my Nakamitachi, this is Joygirl and today we're going to discuss the mystery of the last panel in the last chapter Yes I know this is something that we've discussed in the last chapter review But because I'm always quite wary of the length of the reviews and there was already a lot which happened in the last Chapter, I don't always get to voice all of my speculations in full detail and considering the amount of varying candidates We have I think it's worth a closer look So I asked you all who you thought was this mystery character and some of your answers alongside other popular candidates I've come across in the wider one-piece community is Well, I gotta say some sound quite mind-boggling and some I myself would never have thought of Mainly because in my opinion, they just wouldn't make sense story wise Which is why we're here today to examine such candidates and perhaps discuss and provide Reasoning as to how even the most unlikely of candidates could make sense being this mystery figure or at least attempt to So some of this may sound ridiculous and wild, but hey, that's always fun But before we begin I do want to celebrate the fact that we have now reached the magic number After very recently matching the number of Luffy's Grandfleet We have now arrived at his special number Gomu Gomu and now past that too So welcome to all of you who are new here and thank you to everyone in helping our channel reach this milestone There is a particular video I wanted to release when we reached this occasion and so now that we have you will all see Said video soon and so for all of you who are still not yet subscribed to this channel Make sure you do so now and click that notification bell so that you will be notified when this video is out And whilst all one-piece fans can watch that special video today's video is only for manga fans as it concerns chapter 1004 specifically so for anime only fans not wishing to be spoiled Please watch some of my other videos and come back to this one at a later date now that that's been said Let's get on to discussing the various candidates for the hooded figure who has come to assist the scabbards starting off with Gin just kidding get out of here the first real candidate to me seems like an equally joke Candidate, but I've seen his name pop up multiple times and so here we are Anel some people claiming the mystery figure is an L seem to be obviously joking at least That's what I initially thought but this may not apply to everyone So if you were to take this seriously Then we'd have to say that the greatest factor in his favor would be the part of the silhouette Which I immediately considered to be strands of hair But if looked at differently could be considered to be part of in L's elongated elobes And maybe it's more a credit to the talented artists in the one-piece community who have produced these drawings of an L Matching the silhouette, but when you look at drawings like this well It's hard to dispute that an L's elobes certainly does fit this panel And if we were to further consider the likelihood of an L showing up Another piece of potential evidence could be Nami's comments in the same chapter Nami's words that she needs stronger lightning could be foreshadowing that an L a character who was heavily influenced by Raijin who in Japanese mythology is known as literally the god of lightning may be showing up Though there is one major issue to this series, which is why would an L be here at Wano? He has no relevant connection that we know of and in fact the last time we saw him It was in the cover story where he has settled and established a new empire on the moon But when put that way, maybe there is a connection after all Time to put on our tinfoil hat guys because we're gonna stretch further than an L's elobes There is a heavy moon motif present in Wano Such as the mark of the crescent moon which was used as a symbol of the resistance against the Rochi and Kaido The word Zuki which means moon in Japanese and is in the names of all the major great families of Wano country Or the fact that it is currently a full moon on Onigashima Allowing the minks to transform into their so long forms Considering this theme of the moon perhaps Oda had been hinting at an L's arrival all along And if we want to stretch his elope, sorry this theory even further We should also consider the Mitsudomoe symbol that is drawn on his drums This symbol in Japanese culture has been associated with the God of War and Samurai's War and Samurai which aptly connects with the current situation at Wano But there is even a further connection This Mitsudomoe symbol has actually been seen in the Wano arc such as on the kimono worn by Cho The Yakuza boss of Ringo So there does seem to be a lot to connect Anel to Wano But as to why he would show up as we know Anel learned something about the history of how some races Originated from the moon, maybe this is linked to the secrets contained at Wano about the void century He could be a figure who not only assists the scabbards But also sheds light on some of the remaining mysteries left in this arc But like I said, this is a bit of a stretch and moving on from one stretchy elope to another We have Fukuro Kujou. The reason for the captain of the former Orochi Oniobanchu being listed as a possible candidate It's likely based on the same reason as Anel. His long elopes Though Fukuro Kujou's elopes are shorter than Anel's and I would argue also thicker Thereby making it even less likely that these strands shown in the last panel are Fukuro Kujou's ears On the other hand if we were to stick with this candidate for a little longer We could mention the fact that the last time we saw the ninja captain He was acting very shady and mysteriously slipped off thus leaving his current locations unknown and therefore Making it possible that it is Fukuro Kujou who is there in the treasure repository along with the scabbards Considering his abilities as a ninja It's not implausible that even though he wasn't with the scabbards the last time we saw him that he has since been able To attain their whereabouts, but this does leave the question of what is he doing there? Has he decided to switch sides and help the scabbards? Has he been a secret ally all along? Or is he even a more despicable man than we realized and Plans to take out the scabbards whilst they're down whilst I'm on board with Fukuro Kujou turning against Kaito I don't see him being the candidate in this scenario Especially because whilst his elopes may fit the panel we haven't seen a long protruding head Which I imagine would be hard to conceal in this scene which brings us to another possible foe rather than an ally Kanjiro so the biggest argument against Kanjiro being the candidate is the fact that Bao Huang said that the person is Attempting to save the samurai and not a fellow enemy as well as the fact that Kanjiro is dead or as we know so far But I don't think that this necessarily rules him out as a candidate as we have now become accustomed to by this point We can't always be so sure of a character's death and if Kanjiro is revealed to be alive It would hardly be the most shocking twist in fact I made a video discussing the concept of death in one piece including Oda's use of the fakeouts Which you may also like to watch following our current discussion But going back to our current topic Especially if we consider Kanjiro's devil fruit ability We could suppose that the Kanjiro whom Kiku killed was actually a super realistic drawing of Kanjiro's Now whilst I suspect Kanjiro being alive would spur quite a bit of discontent amongst the community If Oda was to use this plot device again, I wouldn't be completely against it I was actually hoping to see Kanjiro's redemption in this arc And so if he was alive rather than him being an enemy or even if he first plans on killing the scabbards I would like to see him being converted into an ally I can just imagine a scene where one of the scabbards would say something like Master Odin would still accept you as one of his own even knowing what you did And Kanjiro having never felt like he really belonged or had his own identity Would realize that Odin had always accepted him And that he belonged to Odin and the group of Samurais Resulting in him joining their cause for real But enough of my headcanon because whilst I still would like to see that scene play out I do have my doubts about Kanjiro resurfacing at this moment His designs just don't match the panel Apart from his long hair which maybe could fit the strands shown in the last chapter The rest of what we have been shown and admittedly it isn't much But I just can't see how Kanjiro would fit So let's discuss another scabbard, Iso This one confuses me a lot Because Iso was shown to be with the rest of the scabbards When they were on the rooftop facing off Kaido In fact as recent as chapter 1000 We literally saw him injured along with the rest of his fellow scabbards And although it is true that we can't actually see Iso as one of the wounded scabbards in chapter 1004 Bao Hong does mention that she sees 10 figures So if Iso is the mystery figure This leaves us with yet another mystery figure to make up the 10 people So if you have a way to resolve this web of complications Please do let us know in a comment below on how Iso being the mystery figure would make sense But in the meantime Moving on to another candidate whom I think based on the recent chapters Doesn't make him a likely candidate But considering the name did pop up Let's discuss Yamato Considering my initial thoughts that these strands in the silhouette were strands of hair I can't see how Yamato with his design could fit this description But personally I never considered him a viable candidate Because we did see him in chapter 1003 Where he was still with Momonosuke and Shinobu Whilst the last time we saw this group before chapter 1003 They were in relative safety In chapter 1003 It seemed like Yamato had his hands full potentially fending off some enemies So unless this was a very deliberate misdirect by Oda I don't think it's very likely that the cloaked figure is Yamato And another character with luscious hair Thus making him a possible candidate Basil Hawkins It's true Hawkins long hair does make it plausible that it is his hair strands shown in the last panel We haven't seen him since the interrogation of DS Drake back in chapter 990 And although he was still acting on the Kaito's beast pirates the last time we saw him I have mentioned before Such as in the part 2 of my Wano series video Of the possibility of Hawkins switching sides However, this doesn't explain how he knew where the scabbards were And why he has decided to switch sides at this moment Unless he's still acting as a beast pirate In which case we would have to ask why he has found it necessary to cloak himself so mysteriously And there is also another reason why I don't think it is likely that Hawkins is the mystery figure In fact This reason actually rules out all of the aforementioned characters Size In the panel The mystery figure is tiny compared to Kinamon Considering that Kinamon is 298 centimeters tall or 9 foot 8 in US metrics I would place the figure to be no taller than 2 meters or 6 foot 5 And that's being generous But all the candidates that we have discussed so far are taller than 2 meters And I don't think any of them would look so comparatively small When standing next to a sitting Kinamon Which leads us to the discussion of far more regular sized humans But before that, here are some other names mentioned And although I'm sure most of these aren't serious Some are And even if they're not I appreciated all of your responses all the same Starting with the Gorose Too tall Clone Barry 002 Canon figures only please Ivankov Dadan Ogaban Intriguing But I understand why even you have little faith in this possibility Giving them only a 1% chance Kawina This would be the most mind boggling reveal And I'm not sure how I feel about it Kokoro Obviously Crocodile Outrageous Buggy Okay Katakuri Also too tall Vivi Well, I sure would resolve two mysteries at once But I'm not sure I see the connection Bonnie Again, I don't see her relevance to Wano Or how she escaped Akainu Yamato's mother Momato Again, this would solve two mysteries we currently have at Wano And this would certainly be a big twist But I just don't know if we have much to support this case And now, for my personal favorite Joy Girl Yup, you got me It's been me all along I have actually created this entire video as a red herring So that my reveal in the manga will be all the more surprising Okay, let's get serious Back to our real discussion Now onto the regular human sized candidates Starting with Tenguyama Tenguyama's height is currently unknown But without his stilts He does seem to be of average human height Also, he has stated before that he is waiting for someone So perhaps he has come to meet this person at Onigashima And it is somehow connected to the scabbards Another intriguing detail is that it was recently revealed That the voice actor for Tenguyama is the same actor for Kazuki Tsukiyaki So is it possible that Tenguyama is the former Wano Shogun in disguise Who didn't die at all? It would explain the mystery of the Tengu mask And would be one of the biggest plot twists in the Wano arc But as wild and fun this theory may be I am almost certain that this figure is not Tenguyama Aside from the mystery figure's seeming female There is also the fact that though Tenguyama may fit the height component of the figure's size He doesn't fit the width component This figure seems to be on the leaner and slimmer side Which aren't quite the words that come to mind when I think of Tenguyama So moving onto a slim average height human, Suru Suru showing up at Onigashima could be plausible Whilst her exact height is unknown In her depictions she seemed to be close in height to Zoro Who is less than two meters tall Also Suru being revealed here Could serve the purpose in revealing the fate of the inhabitants of the Okuboro town And would fit with what seems to be tears Shown in that last panel when we remember that Suru is Kinemon's wife However, I do think that this would be a rather anticlimactic reveal Though her bravery in misleading Holden was impressive and heartfelt I don't think Suru being the mystery figure carries enough impact To have warranted the suspense created in the last chapter Also whilst it is very possible that in the ordeal of having to escape her burning town That Suru's hair has come loose As we know her currently Suru doesn't have loose strands of hair And being the respectable lady that she is Always has her hair nicely tied up in a traditional Shimada hairstyle There would also be the question of how she arrived at Onigashima And how she found the scabbards in that vast castle Although perhaps one could peg it down to lovers instinct Anyways, moving on to the next candidate, Robin So this is an intriguing character who didn't even pop into my mind Because as you will know from my chapter review I was too busy thinking that Robin was a different mystery character But Robin being the cloaked mystery figure Could make sense when we factor in her hair Which also has two strands out on either side of her face The fact that she was last seen running into the castle And is also one of the only very few straw hats We haven't received an update on recently Also the fact that Black Maria was seeking Robin in the last chapter Could be foreshadowing that when Black Maria arrives at the treasure repository She will come face to face with Robin herself And look, if I get to see a Robin versus Black Maria fight One way or another, I am more than satisfied But if it was Robin, I would have to ask Why all the big secrecy and suspense of the cloak and the silhouette Though the Robin versus Black Maria face-off would be epic The dramatic intensity in which Oda designed this cliffhanger Would feel a little odd Not to mention the fact that I also don't see That Robin would be crying in response to seeing the scabbards that way Although I suppose that there's no confirmation That those droplets were actually tears But let's move on to the next candidate, Hiyori Hiyori seems to be the most sensible answer To this question of the mystery figure Her design fits that of the panel when it comes to the strands It would make sense that she is crying at seeing the scabbards Considering her relationship with them Particularly Denjiro and Kawamatsu Furthermore, the fact that she was pretending to be Komarasaki Who is now known to be dead The need for such secrecy and her cloak makes sense Whilst on one hand, an argument could be made against Hiyori Due to the fact that she herself Said that she would refrain from seeing the scabbards And her brother before the war But technically, the war has already begun And considering the current state of the scabbards She could hardly be a distraction In fact, she may actually be the driving force needed For the scabbards to remaster their strength To protect her and Wano Furthermore, another comment that Hiyori has made in the past Is that she expressed her desire to kill Orochi herself And if we take her word seriously Then it's possible that she sneaked her way onto Onigashima To perform this act Having Hiyori present at Onigashima Would bring all the main characters involved in the story together Her re-entry into the storyline By bringing her back here would be the best place to do it Unless of course the raid at Onigashima fails And the war moves onto Wano where she will be relevant there But if the raid doesn't fail As Hiyori was introduced to us as a major player early in the Wano arc To have her sideline for the entirety of the battle Does raise some questions And considering the likeness between her design and that of the mystery figure She does seem like a very likely candidate But this does still beg the questions of how she made her way onto Onigashima And how she even found the scabbards I wouldn't be surprised if the mystery figure is indeed Hiyori Like I said, she seems to be the most logical candidate But in saying that There is still another character who I am leaning towards most And one who may provide answers to questions Of how this mystery figure arrived at Onigashima And found the room that the scabbards are in TOKI Most of you will know that I strongly believe that TOKI is still alive And hopefully by now you have all watched my video Detailing why and how she may have survived And what TOKI's role will be in the future of Wano This video goes through potential hints such as the mystery figure who was tailing Jinbe and Robin As well as the figure who was seen speaking to Marco on the ship Before they arrived at Onigashima So, Eldomonio 009 actually used this figure on the ship as a case to support Hiyori That in a similar way as Iso being shown on the ship prior to his reveal at Wano Hiyori is being hinted in this chapter But in a way to mislead us and create suspense But as per my TOKI theory video The figure shown on the ship has a different kimono design Than the one worn by Iso whom we have seen since Which makes me think that this person on the ship was definitely not Iso And may have actually been TOKI The striped design is one we have actually seen TOKI where before And the fact that TOKI may have been present on the ship Is of even greater significance Because if this was TOKI on board Then it would actually answer the questions we have had for all of our other candidates How did this mystery figure know where to find the scabbards? If we quickly recap some of the events at Onigashima Marco, Neko, and Iso arrived at Onigashima And joined with the rest of the scabbards at the entrance to the castle If it was indeed TOKI on board the ship with this group Then she would have also joined up with the rest of the scabbards And do you remember who was also there along with the scabbards back then? Trafalgar D. Water Law Law was the one who transported the scabbards away from the rooftop Why did he move them to the treasure repository? And how did he know to move them there? What if it's because Law knew TOKI would be there If TOKI and Law met previously before they all entered the castle They could have devised a plan together It seems way too coincidental that this mystery figure If they were anyone other than TOKI Would have simply been able to find the scabbards in this particular room And also with the suspense that Oda has created through this cliffhanger TOKI's reveal would be the most fitting in terms of payoff It would also make a lot of sense story-wise I mentioned in my TOKI theory video about all of the unresolved plotlines Such as the contents of Oda's letter or the scar on her leg Which I still think are going to become relevant somewhere in this arc Maybe the scar itself will become relevant here to help identify this figure Or maybe this is just me trying to manifest my dreams But until I'm proved otherwise, I gotta say, I am convinced Which brings us to the end of today's video Please leave a comment below with your thoughts on the mystery figure And whether this video changed your mind at all Don't forget to like and share the video if you enjoyed today's discussion And please also subscribe because we have plenty of more one-piece discussions heading your way This is Joygirl and I'll see you again soon
