OP Analysis: Blackbeard, his motivations and devil fruit powers

Spoiler alert! This meta post will contain manga panels from the following arcs: Drum Island, Alabasta, Jaya, Post-Enies Lobby, Impel Down, and Marineford.

Blackbeard occasionally appears in the animanga but he is always taking advantage of the chaos behind the scenes. This is equally interesting as much as it is frustrating--but he is a man shrouded in mystery and majority of the information that we, the audiences know, were derived from other characters.

Under this cut will be my observations about Blackbeard.

Blackbeard was first mentioned by Dalton in Drum Island, stating that his group attacked the island a few months ago. I am curious as to why he decided to do this as the relevant information about Drum Island thus far is that they have the greatest doctors, and their medical knowledge is top notch.

My two cents is that Blackbeard wanted to cause an incident that would feature his group in the newspapers. However, the incident isn't news-worthy as what seemed to be the covered story by that time was the rebellion in Alabasta as well as the movements of the Revolutionary Army.

Another theory that I have might sound far-fetched, but I think Blackbeard was looking for the Ope Ope no Mi or at least, if someone in Drum Island ate it considering the reputation that the place holds with Blackbeard expressing interest in the devil fruit's ability to grant eternal life as well as his penchant on hunting down powerful devil fruit users. Starting out in an island full of the greatest doctors is a good place to look, don't you think?

(Another thing I've noticed about Drum Island is its striking similarities with Flevance: both abandoned by their royalty as soon as an issue came up. Wapol abandoned Drum Island as Blackbeard attacked them while the royal family of Flevance escaped with the WG's assistance when they found that Amber Lead Poisoning was incurable. I don't know if it's a similarity brought upon by coincidence but it's an interesting detail.)

Then, we have Ace's introduction/manga appearance. His "little business" was looking for Blackbeard. At this point, we know two things: Blackbeard and his group attacked Drum Island and Ace was looking for him. Their true connection wasn't revealed yet.

Then we have Blackbeard's first appearance in Jaya and revealing his intention of targeting Luffy due to his 100 million berry bounty. Pirates can't even keep the bounty and will be arrested if they drop by any Marine Headquarters, so this course of action is for the sole purpose of gaining an evil reputation. I have to admit that Blackbeard has a good discerning eye for setting his sights to Luffy at the beginning as the Alabasta incident was covered up. If he wanted to gain notoriety, eliminating a rookie captain of a small pirate group responsible for overthrowing a Warlord was a good start.

Speaking of Warlord, Lafitte (who is later on revealed as part of the Blackbeard Pirate crew), invaded the meeting to nominate a "certain man". Interestingly enough, Blackbeard was only acknowledged as part of the Seven Warlords after defeating Ace but he initially targeted Luffy in hope to qualify but failed. At this point, it was revealed that Blackbeard is interested in the Warlord position, hence, his insistence to prove his strength to earn the position. His true intention will be revealed later on in the animanga but knowing initially that the Government gives certain privileges with the Warlords, he is clearly planning to use it to his advantage.

Another mention of Blackbeard was from the conversation between Shanks and Whitebeard. Here, more details about Blackbeard are revealed: (1) he was part of Whitebeard Pirates, (2) he broke an ironclad rule and killed a friend, (3) he was part of the second division, to which Ace is the commander of, and he was looking for Blackbeard to teach him a lesson. Shanks asked Whitebeard to stop Ace from confronting Blackbeard as it's too "soon" for them to face each other. He also warned Whitebeard about Blackbeard hiding from the shadows and patiently waiting for his chance to take action and how he might end up taking over Whitebeard's position (as one of the four emperors). Despite Whitebeard responding that Blackbeard is his (or Ace's, by extension) responsibility, it was shown later on in the Marineford flashback that Whitebeard initially stopped Ace as he had a bad feeling about Blackbeard and his newly gained powers as well as to let this incident go, feeling apprehensive about the entire thing but Ace insisted to get justice as well as to make Blackbeard pay for dishonoring Whitebeard.

The incident that was the catalyst of the Paramount War: Ace and Blackbeard's fight in Banaro Island. Blackbeard invited Ace to join his crew and expressing intent to catch Luffy in Water 7 (this is still in line with wanting to secure the Warlord position as the Strawhats gained notoriety and recognition after the Enies Lobby incident). Ace, naturally, didn't like the idea and refused the invitation.

(Take this part with a grain of salt and I might be overthinking this bit, but I think it was a stroke of luck that Garp decided to visit Luffy in Water 7. Aside from looking out for his grandson's wellbeing, I think it's also partly to prevent pirates from attacking a pirate crew still recovering from their injuries. I'm amused that despite Garp's qualms about Luffy choosing to be a pirate, he's openly laughing and is proud of his grandson's shenanigans, but I digress.)

Here the common ground between Ace and Blackbeard was revealed as he confessed that he killed the Whitebeard Pirates' Fourth Commander Thatch to get the devil fruit that Blackbeard had been looking for (as they have a rule that whoever gets the devil fruit would be the one to eat it). He also mentioned that sailing with Whitebeard for several decades offered the best chance of obtaining the fruit. Here, the Yami Yami no Mi was introduced and based on Blackbeard himself, despite being a logia fruit, it's completely different from the rest--it is the most powerful ability of all the devil fruits.

One of the Yami Yami no Mi ability is "gravitation". Blackbeard himself says that it's a force that sucks everything in and not even light can escape, the attack is appropriately named as Black Hole.

Interestingly enough, whatever that Blackbeard absorbs, it doesn't completely disintegrate into the void but instead reduced a town into ruins. Continuing with the idea that this ability worked like a black hole, I do have a theory that there is a limit on how much Blackbeard can handle in terms of mass. Whatever that he absorbed doesn't disappear, instead, it functions like he would "carry" them around until he decided to liberate or release them. If we continue with this idea, Yami Yami no Mi poses a risk in a way that it's not an infinite pool of "storage" even though it can gravitate and pull everything including light. It's not as bottomless as Caribou's Swamp-Swamp fruit. I think this is also the reason why he can only handle two devil fruit power at the same time, despite the infinite gravitational pull that his ability offered.

Here we are introduced to the most dangerous aspect of Yami Yami no Mi: it can nullify devil fruit's powers through directly touching the opponent.

Despite Blackbeard calling Yami Yami no Mi as the most powerful devil fruit, another thing I've noticed about its property is that it doesn't function like the usual Logia fruit which allows the user to be a physical manifestation of an element of nature. It happened twice with Luffy being able to punch Blackbeard and Whitebeard's naginata wounding him in Marineford.

It was revealed later on that Blackbeard joined the Seven Warlords to infiltrate Impel Down and recruit the Level Six prisoners as crewmates. He definitely took advantage of the Marines focusing their forces for the Paramount War but I think one factor that worked too well for his favor was Luffy sneaking into the underwater prison prior to rescue Ace. Blackbeard's presence was like a fuel added into the fire and he took advantage of that mess.

Ending this long meta post with the iconic panel of Whitebeard straight up telling Teach that he's not the man that Roger is waiting for. With the recent manga chapters and Caribou planning on informing Blackbeard about the Ancient Weapons, I think Blackbeard's dream is eerily close to what Rocks D. Xebec aimed for--world domination. Interestingly enough, he does fear death unlike the other Ds in the animanga and I think that would be highlighted in the final arc. How far would he actually commit to his ambition if his life is threatened?

To this day I think that khr did gave us one of the easiest yet most entertaining sorting systems in animanga. I can spend hours and hours and hours sorting characters on the sky element/attributes system. Easy logic, concise explanation, made for found families and friend groups, all the fun and none of the nuance.

For the ones who doesn't know, it goes like this:

SOME STORY CONTEXT (not really important):

Katekyo Hitman Reborn! is a manga about an Italian mafia family that is in need of a successor, but everyone has been killed except Tsunayoshi Sawada, a japanese kid that is The Loser™. The Vongola, said mafia family, send a hitman that happens to be in a baby form to train him and protect him: Reborn. He trains Tsuna by shooting him on the head with a Vongola special bullet, the Dying Will Bullet; if the person shot has regrets, they will reawaken (only the underwear survives at first) with a flame on their head, the Dying Will Flame. As long as the flame last, the person is on Dying Will Mode and their abilities are enhanced, almost like a super or something, by turning all the internal safety switches off.

THE BASIC TERMS FOR YOU TO KNOW:

What we care about is the Dying Will Flame. It is a form of high-density energy refined from one's own life force. The Dying Will Flame has similar properties to a real flame and it has levels of purity (the greater the resolve of a person, the clearer and most powerful a flame will be), attributes (different flame elements; you can be born with multiple attributes, but it can't be learn without a previous affinity), and types (in the manga there are the Seven Flames of Sky and the Seven Flames of Earth; we'll be talking about the Seven Flames of Sky only, as to not give major spoilers).

In the KHR! World, the users can channel their Dying Will Flames through tradional weapons to attack or they can use them to open up certain special devices with different purposes (including functions as containing more weapons or food or daily life objects). However, the most notorious use is for the mafia bosses and their guardians, their inner circle of subordinates. Using seven rings specially made to channel the Dying Will Flame, they can fight or use them on their pure form to attack, defend and even heal others.

NOW, THE REAL FUN. THE SORTING.

As the name says it, the Sky Flames are divided in seven attributes (also called elements). Those are named after phenomenons that happen on the sky: Storm, Rain, Mist, Lightning, Sun, Cloud and Sky itself.

Traditionally, the Sky was viewed as a leader attribute and their users' mission was mainly to understand, accept and influence their subordinates. Something like the sky, that encompasses all the other phenomenons and allows them to be as their are. However, for the sake of having fun, you could give the "leader" of your group another attribute and play with the role of the sky flame!

THE SEVEN FLAMES OF SKY !

SKY FLAME: as said before, it's the common attribute for the leaders. That's because A) the Sky Flame can achieve the greatest level of purity and B) it can open any special device. It symbolizes the extensive and all encompassing influence of the Sky over the other elements. It's personal attribute is HARMONY and it's role is to balance things out. The Sky Flame color is orange.

STORM FLAME: an attribute common for the relentless, the Storm Flame user should be the unstoppable base of attacks of the family / group. It symbolizes the storm that fiercely spins with no end and for that its attribute is not other than DISINTEGRATION. The Storm Flame can only open special devices made for itself and its color is red.

RAIN FLAME: the role of the Rain Flame user is to prepare the family / group for the fight, cleaning the blood spilled and bringing the calmness factor. It can also only open the special devices made for the same element, but as it is to be expected, its attribute is TRANQUILITY. The Rain Flame is blue and it symbolizes the flood that cleans it all.

CLOUD FLAME: the untouchable users of the Cloud Flame are known for acting as a distant floating cloud that cannot be contained and follows its own path. Its another element that can only open special devices made for itself, but the Cloud Flame color has more a purple tone and its attribute is PROPAGATION. Their role is to protect the family from the outside and never get caught.

MIST FLAME: with a lilac tone, the Mist Flame belongs to those who pretend something exist or not to confuse the enemies and protect the real form of the family / group. As all the other elements, this Dying Will Flame can only open special devices that match its signature type. Its attribute is CONSTRUCTION and, as you cna imagine, it symbolizes the untouchable fraudulent illusion.

LIGHTNING FLAME: more than anything, the Lightning Flames is known for striking with remarkable force. Its attribute is HARDENING and, its color is green and as all the rest except for the Sky Flame, it cannot open special devices that doesn't match its attribute. The role of these users is to absorb the damage to the family / groups like a lightning rod.

SUN FLAME: At last, the Sun Flame has a yellow color and its attribute is known as ACTIVATION. Those users of the Sun Flame must destroy whatever is unfortunate for their families / groups with their own bodies and shine like the sun over all the rest. It is the sixth flame that cannot open any special device not mafe for itself and it symbolizes the sun that brightens up the sky.

TO SORT YOUR CHARACTERS all you have to do is think about what description they match better. You can follow the khr canon and sort characters by groups of seven first, one for each attribute, and if you have more then you can sort them as special characters. Or you can match it the way you better like it, disregarding order and putting (for example) three rain flame users in one family with not sun flame user in sight.

Feel free to link this plot in your owns or reblog it to explain to your users how the Dying Will Flame thing works! And don't forget: this sorting it's for you to enjoy.

BSD 109 spoilers!

This detail of the scale in the new BSD official art with Dazai and Fyodor is more than life and death on a scale and let me explain why

I was inspired to make this even though i don’t use tumblr much (i want to now after twitter died) after reading @soupthatistohot ‘s post on BSD as an absurdist text - I found it rly interesting!!

To summarise it for context, “Absurdism is the belief that the world around us is irrational and inherently absurd and that explicitly seeking meaning is pointless … All of the animanga’s main characters are on a journey of discovering their meaning in life, and their place in the world, and they do this by rebelling against its absurdity — especially Dazai.”

We can think of the scale as an allusion to Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice, where the scale has been famously used to represent the 1 pound of flesh with no extracted blood- essentially no violence or death- that is to be given in exchange for being unable to repay a loan - ultimately, an exact pound of your flesh being extracted would result in death. The scale in the official art depicts that ‘flesh’ in the form of a heart (a vital organ) is of equal weight to an angel wing. Presenting the angel wing which cannot exist in the real world, Asagiri utilises the fantasy elements of BSD to fully drive the possibility for the ability users to thrive within the non-ability world, ‘discovering their meaning … and their place in the world’. This is important because earlier as stated, BSD rebels against absurdity. Dazai’s side with the angel wing suggests his nature to rebel from the original narratives - to subvert our expectations and come out of this through his own means, using his ability for good. To be on the side that saves people.

The sheer fact something like an angel wing-a miracle, basically, from Dazai’s side is possible to resolve conflict and be of equal standing to the pound of flesh that was demanded to repay the loan is crazy. The pound of flesh/flesh on a scale representation has been seen in multiple pieces of media- within animanga, It’s seen in Moriarty the Patriot as a direct reference in one scene too!

Bringing this back to the scale itself, the skull represents mortality - important because multiple character’s mortality are at stake as a result of the present saga’s conflict. Skulls can also represent the opposite however, protection, power, and a gratitude towards life. Further if you wanted to draw upon the ideals of Memento Mori it’s just an overarching symbol that lies perched at the very top of the official art that reminds us that despite these character’s absurdist rebellions, nobody can escape death overall … well, maybe Dazai can here 🤷‍♀️

There’s a lot more I want to say about the official art’s intertextual symbolism… I love how BSD official artworks always have some dichotomy between the setting and the characters that prove something or else.

Let’s hope for a happy ending!!
