Unknown foreshadowing! Top 5 surprising foreshadowings in "One Piece"

Welcome to Osamu Manga! This time, we're bringing you a ranking that focuses on foreshadowing, an essential element when talking about One Piece. Eiichiro Oda is a storytelling genius who lays out epic foreshadowing from the beginning of the story, only to have it resolved later. The moment when fans are surprised and realize, "So that's how it all came together!" is one of the greatest joys for fans. So, this time, let's look back on the surprising "unknown foreshadowing" in the story of One Piece, ranked!


5th place: ** "The presence of Doctor Vegapunk" ~His presence from the beginning~

As the story of One Piece progresses, the name of the scientist Doctor Vegapunk is gradually revealed. His existence was first hinted at when Franky mentioned the Navy's technology in the Enies Lobby arc . Vegapunk's name has come up many times since then, but he finally made his appearance in the Egghead arc . A spectacular plot twist was resolved, as the technology he developed led to cyborg soldiers, Navy weapons, and even Devil Fruit cloning. It will be exciting to see how this scientist, who has had such an influential role since the beginning, will develop in the future.


Osamu's manga hints: Vegapunk's presence plays an important role in bringing the themes of technological advancement and "science" into the story. There are still many hints to be revealed about how his technology will affect the story as a whole.


4th place: ** "Robin's past and the secret of the poneglyphs" ~ Foreshadowing from the Alabasta arc ~

Robin first appeared in the Alabasta arc, where she was portrayed as a mysterious woman with the ability to decipher the poneglyphs. However, little was revealed about her origins or the true meaning of the "poneglyphs" at this point. However, later in the Ohara arc, where Robin's past is depicted, it is revealed that she is the "only researcher of history" being pursued by the World Government. Then, the existence of the "Road Poneglyphs" that lead to Laugh Tale is mentioned, and the mystery surrounding the ancient weapons and world history deepens.


Osamu's manga hints: The hint that Robin's role is not just to be one of the crew, but to be a central character in the story, was shocking. I can't wait to see how her knowledge will ultimately lead to the path to becoming the "King of the Pirates"!


3rd place: ** "Sabo's survival and joining the Revolutionary Army" ~ A big hint from Ace's flashback! ~

In Ace's flashback, we see Luffy, Ace, and his other brother Sabo as children. It is revealed later in the story that Sabo, who had a deep bond with Luffy and the others, was saved by Dragon, but this plot twist is largely resolved after the Summit War . The moment Sabo regained his memories after Ace's death and appeared as a member of the revolutionary army was a touching and surprising resolution for fans.


Osamu Manga Foreshadowing Points: Sabo's survival was hidden as a foreshadowing for a long time, but the timing of how he appeared after Ace's death was exquisite. Expectations are also high for future developments in which Sabo plays an active role as a member of the revolutionary army!


2nd place: **"The Mystery of the D Clan" ~What Luffy and his friends have in common~

In the world of One Piece, many characters bear the name "D." Important characters in the story, such as Luffy, Ace, Roger, and Dragon, all have this "D," but its true meaning has long remained a mystery. However, in the Ohara and Laugh Tale arcs, it was gradually suggested that the "D Clan" is deeply involved in the secrets of the world, and finally their role as "God's natural enemy" was revealed. This has made it clear just how much of an impact "those with the name D" have on the entire story.


Osamu's manga hints: The mystery of "The D Clan" has been a big question mark for readers from the beginning. I can't wait to see how the truth will be revealed in the final chapter of the story, and when all the hints that have been hanging over the years will be resolved in one fell swoop!


1st place: **"The Secret of Wano Country and Joy Boy" ~ The final chapter of the plot that continues from the Sky Island arc! ~

Taking the top spot is the legend of Joy Boy , which has been told for many years, and the grand hint regarding the opening of Wano Country . The name Joy Boy first appeared in the Fishman Island arc long ago. It had been hinted that this mysterious person was connected to ancient weapons and the "main text of history", but his true identity was finally revealed in the Wano arc , linked to Luffy. The plot twist where Luffy awakens and takes on Joy Boy's "will" was a shocking resolution for readers.


Osamu's manga foreshadowing points: Joy Boy's existence is related to the most important part of the story, and the decisive battle in Wano Country is close to the core of the story. There are still many parts of this foreshadowing that have not been fully solved, such as how Luffy will be connected to Joy Boy, and I am very excited to see how it will develop in the future.


summary

One of the charms of "One Piece" is that the hints laid out in the beginning are later resolved in a surprising way. The ranking introduced this time is filled with hints that surprised and impressed many fans, but there are surely many hints that Eiichiro Oda has still hidden. As the final chapter of the story progresses, I can't help but look forward to new hints that I hadn't noticed before being revealed!

While we look forward to future developments, let's have fun looking back at past episodes and guessing which plot twists will be resolved next! That was Osamu's manga!


How about the color version, which is recommended for those who are rereading or reading it for the first time?
