Video summary
The video transcript explores a compelling theory regarding the true history of Oars, the "Devil Giant," and his connection to the ancient giant race during the Void Century. The speaker argues that while the World Government labels Oars as an evil terrorist who wreaked havoc on the world, he was actually a freedom fighter attempting to liberate his enslaved people from the government's control. According to this narrative, the ancient giants were once a powerful race that voluntarily surrendered or were defeated by the World Government roughly 800 years ago, leading to their enslavement and eventual extinction as a free people. Oars is theorized to be one of the last survivors who escaped captivity, only to be branded a "devil" by the government for his rebellion and his efforts to unite nations into a single powerful entity capable of challenging the World Government's authority.
A significant portion of the discussion focuses on reconciling the timeline discrepancies regarding Oars' age and actions. The speaker notes that while official sources like Vivre Cards state Oars was 159 years old at death, suggesting he could not have been a child during the Void Century, this information might be incorrect given past errors found in such documents. Alternatively, the theory posits that Oars is not the direct child taken during the Void Century but rather the descendant of those enslaved giants. This would explain his immense age and strength, as ancient giants are known to live for centuries, allowing him to survive into adulthood long after the initial enslavement event. His tragic death in the Land of Ice is reinterpreted not as a random act of destruction, but as a desperate search for the Galilea Company—a group of one hundred warrior giants sent to save their children during the flooding era—who had frozen to death while trying to rescue him and his fellow hostages.
The transcript also delves into the roles of the Albafian and Galilea giant tribes within this historical context. It is suggested that both Albafian and ancient giant children were taken by the World Government, prompting a desperate mission by the Galilea warriors to save them. When this rescue attempt failed and the Galilea group was captured or froze to death, the remaining giants lost hope and were forced to kneel, marking the end of their resistance. The speaker emphasizes the irony that the World Government calls its enemies "devils," yet they themselves are run by individuals with Devil Fruits and act like gods while committing evil deeds. Oars' legacy is thus reframed from that of a mindless monster to that of a tragic hero who fought against oppression until his death, only to be remembered as a villain due to the government's propaganda and the misunderstanding of his motives by the world at large.

Ooh,
okay. Gambell, I do like that idea a lot
as well. So, there was only the Albafian
giant races, giant race, and then the
other giant tribes came from those
stolen childs, those stolen children.
Um, I do like that idea a lot. I guess
my only comment is that we do know that
the ancient giant have also existed. Um
that being said, the ancient giant race
is also uh um or the albafians or a lot
of Albafians
um are descendants of the ancient giant
race, but not all of them. Not all of
them because we've seen that people like
King Harold, for example, is
distinguished as someone with, you know,
ancient giant race. So he's special.
He's specially special. So we do know
that there is something else going on
something further which means that what
is it like it's not what I'm trying to
say is that it's not clearcut that
albafians themselves are naturally the
descendants of the ancient giant race.
So there are already two giant races in
that case. And then do we think that but
perhaps what it actually is is that it's
the ancient giants um who gave
themselves up. Do you think it's the
ancient giants who gave themselves up
and that's who Emu is talking about now?
So it could be the ancient giants and
that's why the ancient giants are pretty
much extinct now. We know that there
aren't any sort of like trueblooded
ancient giants anymore.
That could be because they all became
slave, enslaved, and then died out. How?
Because OS is sort of like the last
remaining one, right? And how old was
OS? Let me see. One piece around 500
years ago. Okay, so 500 years ago
doesn't quite match up with the 800 void
century timeline unless OS was sort of
like one of the last ancient giants that
got away. He he was known as having like
wre havoc on the world. But that
actually could be it could be the case
that the reason why OS did that. The
reason why OS was wreaking havoc created
a nation of villains. He died in the
land of ice. All of this could be
because OS was simply trying to save his
parents or trying to save his fellow
giants. Maybe OS also OS could have
actually actually escaped from the
clutches of the world government and was
um could have actually revolted against
the world government. So if Oz was a
child during the void century,
if O was a child during the void
century, it could be that he was just a
very young almost a baby. um when he was
during the void century and then because
that's that's 800 years ago. We know
that giants live you know to the um to
like hundreds of years which what which
is why he was wreaking havoc 500 years
ago when he would have been around you
know 300 400 years old. And we have to
think that, you know, ancient giants as
a as an ancient giant race could
probably live to be even older than the
Elbarian giants. And the Albafian giants
we know lived to be about like 3 400. So
it makes sense that Os could have been
even older than that and could still
survive, could have still been in his
prime or could have still, you know,
been very much um been very been very
fit um been very very active. Um, and so
500 years ago, what could have happened
is that he escaped from Marijua or he
escaped from wherever the world
government was holding him and was
keeping him captive alongside the other
um the other kids that they enslaved and
that they took away to try and um end or
trying to enslave the giant race.
And so once he did escape, he started
wreaking havoc conquering countries. So
it's said that he's conquering
countries. It said that he was
conquering and trying to haul islands to
create one massive island, right?
Creating it was known as the continent
puller to create one large nation, the
nation of villains.
But who is calling him a villain? Is he
an is he a villain in the eyes of the
world government? Is he a villain? Is he
a um is he wreaking havoc? Is he the
devil? He was also known as the devil.
But who was calling him this? Who was
calling him evil? The evil giants?
Probably the world government. Probably
the world government because they knew
that OS was acting against them. So this
is another case, another case where
someone who revolts, who rebelss, who
stands up against Emu and the ancient
giant and the world government is known
as a devil, is known as evil, a great
evil that must be purged from the world,
similar to rocks, which is exactly what
we saw during this Elbath arc and during
this God Valley flashback or during the
God Valley flashback that we got earlier
in this Elbath arc. You guys know what
I'm saying? Um, I think
Wow.
So, it could be the case that it was
it's the ancient giants that that Emu is
talking about right now.
Exactly. The world government always
calls their enemies devils, evil devils.
It's like like Robin for example. Robin
as being one of the Ohharan scholars, as
the child of O'Hara, O'Hara being
someone, being a country, being a
nation, um being a group of scholars
that dared to find out the truth of the
void century, that dared to stand
against the world government's um
prohibition against researching the
pornoglyphs was known as the demon
child.
Oz was not evil. He was simply he was
simply trying to revolt against the
world government.
And which makes sense that he was
pulling all of these nations together
because he knew that they needed much
more strength. They needed great
strength.
This is
I'm liking this a lot. I am liking this
a lot.
Um, sorry, I missed a lot of chats. I
missed a lot of the chat as I was sort
of going off on my OS tangent.
Your devils. The world government is
literally run by devils. Exactly.
Someone with a devil's fruit. Literally
someone with a devil's fruit. Um yeah,
who knows?
It's him deflecting. Emu is trying to
deflect because he's upset about the
fact that, you know, they think that
they're gods. They want to be gods, but
they're indeed devils. And so they're
deflecting by calling everyone else
devils.
Um it's ironic that although the world
government calls all their enemies
devils while Inu says God devil what's
the difference? You know I think there
is a huge I think in general cognitive
dissonance amongst people is quite real
is very very real. In Imu's case I think
greater than most.
Um Tyrannosaur hello I'm not too sure. I
didn't see you earlier in the stream.
Um, but glad to see that you're here.
Why does your phone think heterocchromia
isn't a word? Yeah, I'm not entirely too
sure what's happened there for you. Um,
I guess it's not a very common word. Um,
but as I was talking about the OS
the OS aspect of it. I really Yeah,
exactly. Um, [music]
is exact. Exactly. OS was a freedom
fighter rebranded as a terrorist. love
that idea and I seriously think
seriously think that that is what's
happening. Um so Chin hello good to see
that we do have a mod in the chat. Um
I'm not too sure whether you were able
to make it for the reading but glad to
see you here. Um
what about the Galilea giants? That's
true. That is another that is another
aspect to all of this. That is another
aspect to all of this.
How do they fit in? How do they fit in?
We know that Galila, they were Elbafian
giants, right? But we don't do we know
how long ago they were frozen? Um
although actually no, we did know that
some of them also included ancient
giants. So maybe
okay so I'm guessing so
so all right
maybe it is the case that it was a case
of both albafian and ancient giant
killed children were taken by the world
government. They were taken and um
enslaved used as hostage by the world
government both ancient and elbafian
giants. The Gala the Gala giants
they were the group of warrior giants
um a hundred warrior giants that perhaps
decided to go to Voyage to try and save
their children.
Maybe it was the Maybe it was the group
sent by the Albafian and ancient giant
kingdoms to go and save the children.
So it was a hund they put together a
hundred of their best men of their best
women of their best men and women of the
best ship rights and warriors. We know
that they're ship rights, but we also
know that, you know, um they could have
they could they also, you know, wielded
these large warhammers, so they were
warriors, too. And maybe they decided,
you know, we'll send ship rights because
um
because they need to voyage by sea and
so the shipes were the only giants who
sort of had knowledge of seafaring back
then. It could have been that um this
was amidst the flooding as the world was
starting to flood. Especially if Zaza
was involved. If Zaza was involved and
was reigning all over the world, they
knew that they needed a group of giants
who were not only warriors, fierce
warriors, but people who understood
navigating the seas, navigating the
rough currents, which is why a group of
100 shipwrites/warriors
were sent to go and to go and save their
children.
But when they failed, when even the
Galilea failed,
were captured and imprisoned,
that's when the ancient and elbafian
giants, that's when they um lost hope
and thought, okay, um the only chance
for us, the only option that we have is
to kneel, is to bend bend the knee. um
and the giant race were thus defeated by
the world government. That's what
happened 800 years ago.
Fast forward 300 years later when Oz is
now an adult, is now an adult giant, a
child who was one of the hostages, who
was one of the enslaved, one of the kids
who were taken by the world government,
by Emu and the world government. OS
grows up and decides, I'm having none of
this. You guys, you guys killed my
parents. You guys defeated the pride and
joy of my homeland.
You put the giant name to shame.
And so OS decides to revolt, starts to
gain strength, becomes the continent
puller to try and create a nation that
will be strong enough to withstand the
world government.
And that's how Os becomes branded as the
devil. That's how he becomes branded as
the leader of the evil giants, a clan of
evil giants.
and then dies. Unfortunately, dies in
the land of ice.
The land of ice. I mean, where is this
land of ice? Is it different? Is it
different from the punk hazard land of
ice?
I think it also makes sense
you guys. Oh my god, you guys.
So, we know that he went we know that so
okay we know that died in the land of
ice and he died supposedly from
frostbite. Um he went not realizing how
ex like extremely cold the land of ice
would be, how um the like just how dire
the situation is. He was illprepared.
But what was O doing in the land of ice?
Why was O in the land of ice? What was
he doing?
He was looking for the Galilea company.
He was looking for the Gala giants.
That's what he was doing 500 years ago
is OS was searching for his parents. OS
was searching for his community, his
family, his kingdom. His he was
searching for the hundred shipwrites and
warriors, the warrior shipites whom he
knew died to save him and the fellow
children of Elbath and the fellow
children of the ancient giants. And
because he knew that they were frozen,
they were frozen,
which is how we know them to be now,
frozen somewhere. Frozen, punk has it.
Um,
O was going around looking for large
lands of ice.
And that is how he ended up dying
tragically
when he went to the land of ice
illprepared, not understanding just how
cold the land of ice truly would be.
And thank you for listening to my TED
talk. [laughter]
What do we think? What do we think?
Thank you, Gamble. I do think that we
are on to something here
or or was the captain of the Galilea
giants. Okay. All right, Chin. All
right. Let me let me let me wrap my head
around this as well. Let me just think
whether the timeline works or not.
OS was the captain of the Galile giants.
So OS was the only one that was able to
able to um
was able to escape, was the only one
that wasn't wasn't captured, and the
only one that survived whilst the rest
of the Galilee giants didn't. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, at the very least, because
we don't know how old OS was.
No, we do know how old OS was. Okay, you
guys, my bad. My bad. I've just come up
onto his wiki page. I've come up onto
his um on the One Piece wiki page. And
apparently OS was 159 years old at
death. This is according to the vivra
card. According to the visual
dictionary, Oz's vivra card is that he
was 159 at death.
So he couldn't
he couldn't have been a child during the
void century. I don't think this
disproves my theory. Okay. So there's
there's multiple options here. Multiple
things that we can say here. One one the
first one is that the Vivra card is
wrong. Viva card is wrong. I don't I
can't remember if there have been other
cases where um Vivard has been incorrect
and where Oda has had to do a retcon of
um
but I think there are
I think there are cases where the Vivard
have been incorrect. Right.
You know, like sometimes we get um
sometimes we get
sometimes we get information where they
try not to spoil anything. Um so like
cards won't tell us the full information
until um until they're corrected. like
I'm reading this is a the AI overview
apparently of um of Vivo cards when I
search it up on Google. But if I
actually go into the Viviver card,
it is seeming that there are cases where
things have been corrected.
Okay. Yes. All right. Viv cards have
printed a number of erroneous facts
stemming from both research oversightes
on pre-existing cannon and assumptions
contradicted by later cannon. Most of
these errors have been publicly noted
and corrected on the official Vivard
website with some incorporated into
later printings. So big example is that
Sanji's Vivard um al first stated that
the German kingdom was in located in the
south blue when they're in fact in the
north blue. Um
Shanks Viviverard stated that he was
part of the four emperors when he met
Luffy but then obviously we found out
that um Shanks joined the emperors at
the the stage of becoming an emperor
only six years ago. Um name spellings.
All right. There is a list. There is a
list. There is a list. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay. This is all coming
together. Um I'm getting very excited.
So, first of all, first of all, Oz's
age, the fact that he was supposedly
only 159 years old at death, which was
only stated in the Viviver card and not
actually um wasn't like an SPS that Oda
has said, wasn't anything else. That one
could be incorrect. That fact could be
incorrect. And so, he could have been a
lot older. Um, which is probably more
Yeah. So, he could have been older.
However, moving against that, moving um
moving or moving forward, um
assuming that the Vivra card is correct,
assuming that the Ira Vivra card is
correct and he really was only 159 years
old at death, then that could mean that
Oz was not
was not necessarily a child that was
taken during the void century that Emu
is talking about now in chapter 1186.
Rather, OS could be the descendant of a
child or OS could be the descendant of
one of the ancient giants who were
enslaved during the um during the void
century.
Do you see what I'm saying? Do you see
do you follow? Um, and so he could be
the child of someone who was enslaved
during the void century. And so he grew
up he grew up listening to the story of
what happened to the giants of why they
are now enslaved of why they are um of
why, you know, they are they are sort of
captured here and doing the world
government's bidding. And he could have
grown up, you know, very resentful of
this fact. Um and then has you know when
he broke out this is when he decided to
conquer lands and create the nation of
villains um or the so-called nation of
villains being dubbed a devil.
So that could also be the case.
And then as you say this all went this
all goes back to what Chin was saying is
Os the captain of the Gala company
because it's true it is true that we
don't know when the Gala company was
active. We don't know exactly when
Galilea
um
we don't know that Galilea is
uh
was you know that's a that's an episode
that happened during the void century.
Sorry I just I'm having a now now my
brain is like trying to think of dates
and trying to think of like the
timeline. So, my it always that always
makes my head hurt. Um, I'm also trying
to like I'm reading some of the
comments, but I'm also seeing that the
comments are like so far removed. The
comments are so far removed um from from
what I'm talking about. But I'm glad
that you guys are having a I'm glad you
guys are going into the politics of the
world and of um of One Piece.
