Theory Radar is a weekly pass over Japanese-language ONE PIECE discussion. We summarise the argument, link where it started, and say plainly how strong we think it is. Nothing here is confirmed.
Rising
A reading about a background detail from a recent chapter that went from a single post to the dominant topic in about four days. The panel is real; the conclusion drawn from it is a stretch.
Holding
The long-running structural theory that refuses to die. No new evidence this week, but no counter-evidence either.
Collapsing
Last week's leading candidate ran directly into a line of dialogue that contradicts it. Worth noting because the English-language version of this theory is still spreading.
Quietly interesting
The one nobody is talking about: a small consistency in how a minor character is drawn across three arcs. Probably nothing. Probably.
Next week
We will follow up on whether the rising theory survives contact with the next chapter.
