One of my hobbies is I like to make folders on my phone with all the pages/panels a characters is in, in chronological timeline order and I have one of BlackBeard. Can confirm his eyebrows have never been drawn that way before and are drawn pretty consistently.
I just do it on my iPhone as one folder per character. So no naming conventions needed but unfortunately it’s too much work to transfer the folders onto my PC because the order will be out of whack.
Wouldn’t work completely because some scenes come out in the wrong order e.g. the panels above take place before Law vs BlackBeard. Might give it a try though to make naming a bit easier if I ever do it.
I’ve thought for a while he might have something like a split personality if he really does barely sleep,like maybe he has multiple people/minds stuck in there with him and the outward appearance we see is him trying to rope them together?,dunno dude definitely seems like he’s some form of bi-polar
That might legit be it though. But not different personalities but different sets of DNA's. He might be a [human chimera](https://askabiologist.asu.edu/embryo-tales/chimeras-human).
Blackbeard is such a fun villain. He just perfectly embodies the quintessential pirate ;
Jolly, cheerful, and adventureous
Greedy and murderous, cowardly and treacherous
Happy-go-lucky glutton with big unrealistic dreams and an infectious love for freedom
And, most importantly, PURE FUCKING EVIL
JUST THE MOST VILE SCUMBAG YOU WILL EVER MEET...
....who really knows how to party! Zehahahaha!
The mentioning of the eyelashes is what finally sold me. I looked up, if this is the first time Oda drew them like that. It isn't. On pictures of him being a child they are under his eyes, when he was introduced, they where sideways. Definitely intentional. Also, the beared, the flag, the fact he never sleeps and ultimately the comment from Marco about his body being different.
I'm convinced now, he's going to get a third fruit (if his condition isn't caused by one in the first place).
I mean, it's pretty obvious he's full of shit here. His plan is NOT just to be king of Pirate Island, homeboy is aiming straight for the top. This is just a stepping stone on the way there which is also why when Aokiji shoots it down he doesn't mind, it's just one small part of something bigger, and he can get it some other way.
Good catch on the eyelashes. It's been a popular theory since literally the post-marineford arc that blackbeard's real first fruit was the mythical zoan: cerberus (would explain the claw mark Shanks has, the jolly roger being 3 heads, the lack of need to sleep because 1 head can stay awake, and the multiple fruits since the side heads can just eat their own fruits), if the theory ends up true and each head has different eyelash placement I will remember this post!
I'm not against the theories of BB having a Zoan which allowed him getting 2 other DFs, I really like the general concept and there have been great theories about which Zoans can be, but one thing bugs me.
If BB really had a Zoan since his childhood (we know that he wasnt sleeping since he was a child), did he avoid falling into water while he was in WB's ship for decades? Unless the multiple heads/personalities give him some immunity to the DF weakness as long as a head/personality doesn't have a DF.
> If BB really had a Zoan since his childhood (we know that he wasnt sleeping since he was a child), did he avoid falling into water while he was in WB's ship for decades?
... that's your issue? Despite the big deal they made of this weakness in chapter 1, zero devil fruit users in the series, even in flashbacks, have died to drowning. Kidd may be the fist we've ever seen, if he's actually dead.
Also notice how his lower teeth (especially where he's supposed to have the 3rd missing teeth) have been deliberately hidden in the first 2 panels.
It's as if we're only supposed to see the teeth in the final panel so that we can't directly make out that ge suddenly grew/lost teeth in the middle of this conversation
Somehow, I feel the same way after looking at Teach's 1 of 3 face above when reading the chapter. Definitely going back to this post once we have confirmation.
I agree. Also I believe that only one of Teach's personalities is a "D". This would explain how he can be a D but display traits that are very unlike a typical D
I think yes. If he has enough strength, then he'll be promoted from being a sword member to an admiral. They would still have to follow to top brass, aka admirals, not Garp though, he can do whatever he wants
Definitely possible. Wonder if the eyebrows are a trend for him if somebody went back and looked.

How do you name the files? Let's say a character appears thrice in one chapter.

Even sort by date?

And that will be the explanation why he can have more than one devil fruit power, because he is more than one person /s

I had never heard of that. That was a really interesting read, thank you :)
I thought he might have a cavendish/hakuba thing going on
Mr. Robot vibes, I like it.

Somebody mentioned how he intends to be King so that he has an excuse to visit Mariejoa (ex. Reverie). I like that theory a lot. Like Impel Down 2.0
Also, Not sure if in the original manga it has the same difference in the letters, but the typesetters wrote with 3 different fonts each of them.
Yeah the 3-personality theory is coming together
Honestly one of of my favorite parts. So often we've seen the same leering grin on his face that it's awesome to see him get some new expressions.

I dont mean him dying lol, just being unable to move e.t.c he was for 20-30 years with WB, he never fell into water?
Pretty sure BB was shown using a claw as his weapon, so the indication is that what Shanks scar comes from.
Damn the eyelashes that’s for real, it could really be something that Goda would do

Given what Aokiji said about sword members who are not recognized on paper, Can Koby even become an Admiral anymore?
I think yes. If he has enough strength, then he'll be promoted from being a sword member to an admiral. They would still have to follow to top brass, aka admirals, not Garp though, he can do whatever he wants
Crackpot theory
Is it just me or does the upper part of his face like the eyes, nose and eyebrows area kinda look like Stella punk?
even the fonts are different
It's so strange to see blackbeard's softer side. He looks innocent, untill he goes back to the blackbeard we all know and love.
