 People are gonna laugh if I keep saying Uranus. Alright, I'll go with Uranus instead. Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun, is the name of a Greek mythological deity, and linguists have traced the etymology of the word Uranus to other words in the English dictionary, such as rain, moisture, and dew, but also to urinate. Hello, Manakamatachi, this is Joygirl. And in this video, I'm going to present you with some ideas as well as some potential hints which all seem to point to why Uranus is actually a bird and why this bird is currently located in Elbaf. So first things first, I'm sure you guys all know what I mean by Uranus, because no, I'm not talking about your butt. I'm obviously not talking about the planet in our solar system. I'm certainly not talking about a world that has some sort of historical connection to urination. And I'm not even talking about the Greek god Uranus, supposedly the husband of Gaia, the mother of all creation, making him the father of the first generation of Titans and many other gods in Greek mythology, except, wait, I sort of am. But we'll get to him later, because obviously what I'm really talking about is the ancient weapon Uranus in the world of One Piece. One of the three very important weapons of mass destruction, which we know to have existed from centuries ago, having played some very significant role during the Void Century. But I've heard that Uranus doesn't hold a candle to the weapon of mass destruction that is otherwise known as the subscribe button. I hear that the power of the subscribe button is that it can blow you away with its ability to provide you with regular One Piece discussions from yours truly. So unless you want to feel the full wrath of this angry weapon, I suggest that you press its button now. Okay, crisis averted, Uranus and ancient weapons. So by now we have quite a substantial amount of knowledge about the two other ancient weapons in the One Piece world. We know Pluton to be some sort of ancient battleship even if we haven't seen it for ourselves yet, and Poseidon is a weapon that has actually been introduced to us already, taking the form of an actual character, the mermaid princess Shirahoshi. And while the nature of these two ancient weapons have been common knowledge for us for quite a while now, we still have extremely little knowledge when it comes to Uranus. In fact, that's all we know that the third ancient weapon is called Uranus, which is something that was divulged to us all the way back in chapter 650 when we saw Robin talking with King Neptune, discussing these ancient weapons about how these ancient powers were deadly to destroy the world and that each weapon is named after a god. But it's also quite curious that since this chapter, we still haven't found out anything about Uranus. So then, using this one piece of information that we do have, see what I did there? But seriously, by using this one piece of information, we do have something to go by. And people certainly have used this tiny morsel of information to speculate about what this ancient weapon could be. So remember when I said earlier that we will be actually discussing the Greek god Uranus? That's because he actually may very well be relevant or at least illuminating for our speculation. In Greek mythology, Uranus was the personification for the sky and the heavens. In fact, Uranus, which can also be spelled as Uranus, when translated from Greek to English can literally mean sky or heavens. And so then when we consider the attributes of the three Greek deities, it does seem like we can gauge or make connections to the characteristics of the three ancient weapons. For example, the Greek god Poseidon, who is primarily known for being the god of the seas, is aptly embodied through Shirahoshi or Poseidon, who is a mermaid living underwater with the ability to command sea kings. Pluton in Greek mythology is the god of the underworld, which admittedly we don't quite yet know how Pluton in one piece is supposed to represent the earth or the underground, but you could make connections that a battleship runs along the water or runs along the surface of the earth. So then when you consider Uranus, the Greek god of the sky, this has resulted in a lot of speculations that connect the ancient weapon to something somewhat sky related. You know, I've heard theories that Uranus is a rocket ship or that it's actually the Ark Maxime. I've even heard theories about Uranus being somewhat related to the Lunarians. And you know, all of these speculations concerns the element of the sky. But the reason why you and I will be exploring the idea of Uranus being a bird is because of another potential clue that was actually given to us in the series. Before the release of the one piece film Strong World, we were gifted with a canonical special chapter, chapter zero also titled Strong World. And while the primary point of this chapter was essentially to see the character Shiki, the golden lion, who would later go on to become the primary villain, the primary antagonist of the non-canonical film Strong World, this chapter is actually very interesting, providing almost a sort of prologue to the series of one piece, and in particular, as relevant for today's discussion, one of the interactions which took place in this chapter could be very illuminating for us in terms of figuring out what Uranus is. In chapter zero, we see the Roger pirates at war with Shiki. But at first, Shiki is imploring Roger to team up because Roger knows the location of the weapon that can destroy the world. And judging by these words, a weapon that can destroy the world, it's safe to assume that Shiki is referring to one of the ancient weapons. And now we know that Shiki couldn't possibly have been talking about Poseidon because we know that Roger only found out about Poseidon during his last voyage, which occurred one year before his death, whereas the events of chapter zero took place three years before the great pirate era. So this leaves Pluton and Uranus, and between these two, it seems much more likely that he was talking about the latter. And the reason why I say that is because we've seen a very mysterious object aboard the Oro Jackson, that being that very large polka-dotted egg. And so going on from that, unless battleships hatch from eggs, I'm going to say that that egg cannot be Pluton, which then obviously leaves us with Uranus. Also, another thought that I had during editing that points to Roger already having Uranus in his possession. During Odin's flashback, we see the Roger pirates go toward a seven and Fishman island, locations linked to the two other ancient weapons, but we don't see anything about them looking for Uranus. Possibly because they already knew where it is, possibly because they had it on their ship the entire time. And I do want to clarify at this point that eggs aren't only unique to birds. I mean, other animals, other species, like reptiles, also hatch from eggs, fish do too, actually, although they're slightly different sort of eggs. But the reason why if this egg does actually contain Uranus, the reason why it's more likely to be a bird or a bird-related creature is because of the sky theme surrounding Uranus. Also, because of another in-series clue or potential clue that points to the relevance of birds, which is seen through the Kazuki crest. The Kazuki clan's emblem quite obviously includes a bird. And given that we know that the Kazuki clan were quite instrumental during the Void Century, it's not out of the question that they have some sort of connection to the third ancient weapon. And also an idea that I've personally held for a while is that it would make sense thematically at least if Uranus was a bird or at least some other animal, some sort of organic creature. When we look at all three ancient weapons and when we consider their characteristics, their attributes, we have Poseidon, which is a humanoid. We have Pluton, which is a battleship and man-made object. Then I've always thought that Uranus could be some organic creature like an animal. In which case a bird or some sort of bird-based creature would make quite a lot of sense, given everything else that we've discussed so far as well. Also, Scythebar, just on the note of themes, I found out that people have actually been making connections between the different types of Harkies to the ancient weapons. For example, Poseidon embodies Conchra's Harkie because of her power to command and rule the Seekings and then Pluton with its unparalleled, overwhelming, destructive force representing Armament Harkie. In which case, that just leaves Uranus an observation Harkie, which actually makes a lot of sense because it turns out that the Greek god was also known for having premonitions. So not unlike advanced observation Harkie. But anyways, that's unrelated to birds. I just thought that that was cool. But then from there and as to which bird, what type of bird it could be, we have a lot of possibilities. In the earlier days, even before I started thinking about its possible connection to Uranus or to ancient weapons, when I first saw that egg with the Roger Pirates, I always thought that it could be possibly a dragon egg, primarily because of its large size. And so then based on that idea of that egg actually housing some sort of dragon creature, one interesting possibility could be a dragon bird inspired by the Minokawa of Filipino mythology. And according to Filipino legends, the Minokawa is believed to be so large that it can actually swallow the sun and the moon. Another idea of an extremely large bird would be the rock. And the rock is a gigantic bird of Arabian mythology known to be a bird of prey so large that it can even pick up huge animals like elephants in its talons. And so then thinking about that fact, we could even make great connections as to how Uranus could be this massive great weapon with the ability to even pick up animals like Zunisha, you know, an elephant of gigantic epic proportions. And not to mention that we've also obviously been introduced to the idea of the rock in the series. Another plausible idea backed by some real world inspirations and mythology could be the unnamed eagle that sits atop the world tree in Nordic mythology. And even though we don't know what it was called, this eagle is a very important element of Nordic mythology given the fact that it sat above Yggdrasil, a very important tree and the eagle was known to be the enemy of a snake or a serpent like creature which sat at the roots of the world tree and this serpent or dragon like creature would gnaw at the roots of the world tree. And now given that dragons is also another very important element within one piece. Maybe this could be a metaphorical representation of the parasitic relationship between that serpent, that dragon and the world tree, the tree of you know, all life in that celestial dragons are a nuisance, a parasite to all life in the world of one piece. Or you know, maybe I'm stretching it too far. But regardless of which type of bird Uranus is inspired from or you know, even if it be odour's own original creation unlinked to any of the real world inspirations, this last idea of the bird of the eagle sitting atop the world tree really sticks with me. Mainly because this could be the answer of where Uranus is currently located in the one piece world. I've already discussed with you guys in the past both about the importance of trees as well as the importance of Nordic mythology in the series. And by now the speculations that an Yggdrasil tree exists in the world of one piece and that this world tree is located in Elbaf, the speculation is quite widespread. I mean, we may have already been introduced to it before and it may even be the sunlight tree. And so then if that is the case, odour could decide to take this one step further by introducing a great bird that sits atop the world tree and this great bird could then be Uranus. I mean, apart from the speculations concerning Nordic mythology there are plenty of logical reasons and explanations as to why this world tree would be located in Elbaf. I mean, for one, if Uranus is the great gigantic bird like the giant egg suggests, then it makes sense that this bird would similarly be located in an island that also houses giants, therefore being an island of gigantic proportions. Also, if Uranus was previously with the Roger pirates, then it makes sense that it would currently be located at Elbaf, an island which many believe to now come under the protection of none other than Shanks or at least an island that is somehow connected to Shanks. And finally, personally the way I look at it, we are really nearing the end of the series and therefore also the climax of the series. And as much as we joke and sometimes seriously believe that odour will never finish writing his story or at least for a very long time, it is getting clearer that we are really heading towards that endgame, which then also means that we really don't have many arcs left. In which case, if Elbaf is one of the arcs that we will get in the series as it is so popularly believed, then it also makes sense that Uranus, the last remaining ancient weapon, is also introduced in this arc. But anyways, those were my thoughts and speculations into the mysterious ancient weapon Uranus, why it is a bird and why that bird is currently located at Elbaf.
