Seven Possible Devil Fruits The Five Elders Are Referring To

Everyone’s got a ton of theories as to what devil fruit the five elders were referring to and what zunesha’s significance to it is. I figured I’d gather the evidence and some common theories in one place to create a few jumping off points for discussion/theorizing. The five elders are concerned about a certain devil fruit that has not “awakened” in ages. The fruit was also renamed by the world government. This conversation is displayed alongside the shot of zunesha arriving near wano.

Here are the theories I’m seeing:

1. The Elders are referring to the devil fruit eaten by Zunesha

• Zunesha’s appearance this chapter suggests the fruit is connected to him somehow.
• We know awakened zoan fruits provide monstrous new forms, per Impel Down.
• We know Zunesha is also very old, explaining the fruit’s disappearance for so long.
• Zunesha is tied to the world’s history and has unaddressed lore, which this could explore.
• We don’t know this hypothetical fruit’s name, but various mythical elephants have been suggested (since the default Elephant Elephant Fruit was already eaten by a sword).

2.The Elders are referring to the Gum Gum Fruit/Gomu Gomu no Mi

• We recently learned that the Gum Gum Fruit was guarded carefully by the World Government, suggesting that it’s of interest to them and of greater significance than we know.
• Luffy has notably not awakened his devil fruit despite many of his peers and enemies having done so, harkening to the Elder Stars’ comment about awakening.
• The Gum Gum Fruit/Gomu Gomu no Mi’s name could be the false name if Luffy is made of something other than rubber.
• The significance this would have to Zunesha is unclear, but some have suggested that Zunesha is a red herring or that the fruit’s significance to him is yet to be seen.

3.The Elders are referring to the Millet Millet Fruit/Kibi Kibi no Mi

• This fruit has the power to control animals, so it is possible that Zunesha is one of those such animals.
• We know Zunesha was sentenced to march the ocean as punishment for a crime; the Millet Millet Fruit would have the power to do this.
• Tama’s powers have been on full display in the raid with CP0 taking note, so it would be reasonable for the Elders to be discussing this now.
• The cryptic/creepy nature of Zunesha suggests an additional effect of the Millet Millet Fruit, one that could be explained through an “awakening” that the Elders mentioned.
• Kibi/Millet is an obtuse enough description of the fruit for it to be a false name.

4.The Elders are referring to the Flower Flower Fruit/Hana Hana no Mi

• The Elders were discussing Robin immediately before mentioning the fruit.
• Robin’s powers are not clearly defined and could have a deeper meaning, especially if it’s “awakening” is siginficant.
• The Hana Hana no Mi’s name, bloom and/or flower, is a rather poetic way of describing the fruit’s power and could easily be a false name.
• Like the Gum Gum Fruit, it’s significance to Zunesha is unclear but could theoretically be explained.

5.The Elders are referring to the Time Time Fruit/Toki Toki no Mi

• We already know this fruit disappeared for centuries when Toki jumped forward in time, explaining why “that” fruit has been missing for so long.
• The fruit is directly tied to the world’s history, having existed around the time of the Void Century and indirectly tying it to Zunesha (himself having similar significance).
• The fruit and its user share a name, which give credence to the idea that the fruit’s name was changed at some point.

6.The Elders are referring to the Ope Ope Fruit/Ope Ope no Mi

• This fruit has already been foreshadowed to be of greater significance, specifically being known as the “Ultimate Devil Fruit” and its ability to grant eternal youth/immortality at the cost of the user’s life.
• Zunesha’s age and appearance suggests that he himself could have been granted that immortality a long time ago.
• The fruit’s name has little to do with it’s literal abilities, meaning it could be a false name.
• Law recently used the fruit’s awakened power in Wano, meaning that CP0 may have seen it and explaining the Elders’ comments on the fruit “awakening”.

7.The Elders are referring to Kaido’s Fish Fish Fruit/Uo Uo no Mi

• Momonosuke’s attempts to stop Onigashima from crashing could be the shadow the agents are referring to instead of Zunesha, with Zunesha being a red herring.
• The fruit is known to be of interest to the World Government; they even attempted to recreate it.
• We have not seen the fruit’s awakening, which could account for it not having “awakened” in so long.
• The fruit’s name could be seen as misleading or silly, which would be explained if it had indeed be renamed by the government.

Maserati Returns to Motorsports

After more than a decade, Maserati ends its racing hiatus, announcing that it will join Season 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in 2023. The Trident will be the first Italian brand to compete in Formula E joining other automakers such as Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Jaguar, Nissan, and Porsche on the grid. ABB FIA Formula E is the world’s first all-electric road-racing series, and Season 9 will debut a new Gen3 racing car, the lightest and most powerful Formula E vehicle yet. Similar to Formula 1, Formula E competes in landmark cities across the world including Monaco, New York, London, Hong Kong, Paris, and Buenos Aires.

The entrance into Formula E marks Maserati’s commitment to electric mobility and spotlights its new electric range dubbed Folgore. All of its new sports car models going forward will be available in all-electric variants including the Grecale, GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and MC20 supercar. Prior to the Formula E announcement, Maserati’s last motorsports venture was in FIA GT between 2004 and 2010, in which it won 14 Championship titles with its MC12 racecar. “We are very proud to be back where we belong as protagonists in the world of racing.” Maserati CEO David Grasso commented in a press release. “In the race for more performance, luxury, and innovation, Folgore is irresistible and it is the purest expression of Maserati. That’s why we decided to go back to racing in the FIA Formula E World Championship, meeting our customers in the city centers of the world, taking the Trident forward into the future.”

Kanye West Set to Headline Coachella

Kanye West is now reportedly set to headline the 2022 Coachella festival. Billboard and more have reported that sources have noted that Ye will be headling alongside Billie Eilish on Saturday and Sunday night. While additional rumors are pointing towards Swedish House Mafia serving as the festival’s third headliner, filing the third “throwback” slot.

Back in January 2020, Coachella organizers Goldenvoice announced Travis Scott, Frank Ocean and Rage Against the Machine as the headliners of the 21st installment of the festival. Following several postponements, Frank Ocean pushed his headlining performance to 2023 and Travis Scott was removed from the bill due to the tragedy that occurred at Astroworld last year. TMZ has also reported that Rage Against the Machine are no longer on the bill for the 2022 Coachella festival. Set to take place over the weekends of April 15-17 and April 22-24 at the usual Empire Polo Ground in Indio, California, an official announcement of expected performers is expected to arrive in the coming weeks. Though it is unclear if the surge of the omicron variant of COVID-19 will force yet another postponement.

Amazon’s Fallout TV Series Updates

Amazon’s TV series based on the Fallout video games is moving into production this year. Deadline and Variety report that Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Captain Marvel) and Graham Wagner (Silicon Valley) will be showrunners on the project; the official Fallout Twitter account retweeted Deadline’s story by way of confirmation. The Prime Video show will be executive-produced by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, creators of Westworld.

Bethesda Game Studios’ Todd Howard and Bethesda Softworks’ James Altman are also on board as executive producers. Nolan will direct the first episode, according to Deadline and Variety. The show was first announced in July. “Fallout is one of the greatest game series of all time,” Joy and Nolan said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter back then. “Each chapter of this insanely imaginative story has cost us countless hours we could have spent with family and friends. So we’re incredibly excited to partner with Todd Howard and the rest of the brilliant lunatics at Bethesda to bring this massive, subversive, and darkly funny universe to life with Amazon Studios.” The Fallout video games are post-apocalyptic RPGs set in a alternate future inspired by ‘50s-era US post-war imagery. Bethesda acquired the rights to the series in 2004 and released Fallout 3 in 2008. The most recent mainline game, Fallout 4, came out in 2015, while multiplayer spinoff Fallout 76 was released in 2018. No upcoming Fallout titles have been announced, but future games in the series will likely be exclusive to Xbox and PC platforms due to Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda.
