if the ancient shandorans WERE skypieans it puts a really nice bow on my theory that it’s not just a colonialism allegory, but specifically a muddied up israel/palestine allegory. skypiea is the levant, upper yard is jerusalem, enel is the west

Shandians (and presumably Shandorians) have similar but slightly different wings to Skypieans. Birkans have different wings again. All three are depicted working together (or at least alongside each other) in the moon murals.

I assume they were separate tribes who banded together to migrate to the planet below, but their cultural differences led to them settling in different areas.

Still unsure how Lunarians fit into things, but I suspect it has to do with fallen angel symbolism. It feels likely they were sent to the planet before the main migration, since they aren't in the murals. My favourite wild theory is they were cast out of 'heaven' after consorting with demons (the Five Elders), and were tasked with keeping the demons from escaping confinement.

no sea in space. safest place in the universe for them really

Yeah, I reckon all the winged tribes have a fear of the ocean. That's why most of them live(d) on sky islands or the red line. Heck, it's probably the reason the red line was built... to be a little slice of 'endless varse'.

Fell completely in love with this series and have spent the last few months going through it using One Pace, then the official anime for Wano, and now I’m finally up to date on the manga.

-Until the moment he shows up in the main story again I consider the Enel cover stories non-canon, as far as I’m concerned he just suffocated and died up there.
-Some of the animation in Wano was absolutely insane and way beyond anything I’d ever expect from a weekly anime
-I’m kinda bummed Yamato didn’t join the crew, hopefully he pulls a Jinbe and comes back to join later
-Buggy is the GOAT
-The biggest flaw in this series is that it needs 400% more Nico Robin
-Gear 5 is an S-tier shounen power-up
-Poor Kuma :smith:

I’m still holding out hope that Vivi, Carue, and Yamato all formally join the crew before the end of the series (the former’s got a grudge against the WG for killing her dad after all and Imu seems interested in her personally)

Strong agree, I think the reason she doesn't get as much screen time is because she probably knows a lot more than the rest of the crew because she's the only one that can read. And her powers are too strong for fights against a lot of conventional opponents because she can basically just one-hit anyone with a human sized neck.

You have very good One Piece opinions.

Except for the thing about Enel. Enel's moon adventures own and they are real. Enel is the key to everything. Any day now he will crash into the middle of an unrelated arc with an army of robots and it will be beautiful.

But you're especially right about Robin so I'll let it go this time.

He'll crash on Long Ring, Long Land once they find the One Piece, thus beginning the last arc.

i think of enel going to the moon as a riff on “whitey’s on the moon” insofar as its a stupid, pointless goal, attained by a vain, pretentious colonizer…..if it turns out that him going to the moon was really important and changes the outcome of the story i will be kind of annoyed

Luffy can definitely read. He probably even went out of his way to be real good at it. After all, not reading because you can't is a simple inability. Not reading because you don't want to? That's FREEDOM, baby.

The rest of the crew, Yamato and Vivi, can read too but don’t have any books on the Sunny. I wonder who ripped the page out of Oden’s journal, he found it after they ripped it out and threw the rest away I guess
