Just curious... Any thoughts?
In this manga/anime, we have a bunch of Pirates. Obviously when I was young I though well, how come pirates are depicted as good in here, while IRL pirates are bad. There must be something wrong with this anime.
A few years passed, shit has happened to me, to the world, I see things in a different way now... Plus I have seen more One Piece episodes and well, what do I watch? That there are lots of analogies between what we IRL call conspiracies, and the world of OP.
The consp. that there are reptilian/celestial elites behind the scenes in OP. is a truth. They are called celestial dragons.
Well, the world government isn't good. Earth has some particular/magical regions which only a few ppl know about.
Obviously, the general population is depicted as innocent, but also as imbeciles and weak. Aka blind to the truths...
Any thoughts? Are these things put in there intentionally, accidentally? Does the creator know stuff?
Another question arises, what is the perception of japanese or chinese ppl to the Western conspiracies?
It's a part of Shintoism? Kami. Spirits, perhaps even known as aliens inhabit everything. Wood, stone, water, metal, air, and any objects created. Until they mostly bring luck, or misfortune. The belief goes back further to the Old gods, such as the elements, or elementals. Aliens come in where there are such erratic claims that the former PM Abe's wife claims to have been to Venus. But okay when the Emperor resat on the throne empowering the Japanese Empire the quickest expanding in history and one of the largest, prior to WW2, they believed he was directly descended from the gods, unearthly, hence their assumed invincibility, and fervour.
Drakes/dragonkin are elementals. Rooted into Eastern culture.
There has been research by Japan into it. But it is largely pusedo. Not without merit. Play your household plants classical they grow better than under death metal. Or another study into water and its shapes, which may have been debunked, but if you coddle it, it creates the perfect snowflake, and if you swear, well it's a failed comparison. Although sound, oscillation does indeed shape, and perhaps even heal. That rabbit hole goes much deeper into matter. It goes back to ancient lore, like transportation/levitation, encantation, and curses etc etc.
In regards to that anime unseen, it sounds a bit like a prior Manga, seen, the Legend of the Four Dragon Kings?
