3 One Piece Conspiracy Theories About Joy Boy

Currently the One Piece Anime series is set on an island called Egghead Island. In this arc there is one character that is very interesting to discuss, Joy Boy, a figure that makes fanatics of the One Piece series speculate. Especially when the writer of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda started discussing information about the true identity of Joy Boy and the void century. Conspiracy theories emerged about who Joy Boy really is and what his importance is in the One Piece story.

In some One Piece communities and fandoms, there are some interesting conspiracy theories about Joy Boy. Here are some of the theories:

• Joy Boy Identity Conspiracy Theory

A famous scientist named VegaPunk once made a broadcast that was quite shocking. VegaPunk revealed that the world was approaching the end of the world. But on that broadcast VegaPunk also explained about the history of Joy Boy. VegaPunk said that Joy Boy was a young man from a century ago who had powers similar to Monkey D. Luffy, which is very elastic flexibility. Joy Boy disappeared in the void century and left a big mystery about what his role in history was that made him such a legendary figure.

There are some fans who speculate that JouBou comes from the most famous island in the Grand Line, Laugh Tale, where the Ancient Kingdom stands. Another interesting conspiracy theory is that Joy Boy is the first pirate in the world of One Piece. But the question is, what was his purpose in becoming a pirate a century ago? Was Joy Boy looking for treasure, or was he just looking for a title? And could Joy Boy actually just be a nickname for someone?

• Reincarnation Conspiracy Theory

As time goes by, Oda Sensei reveals more and more about the century of emptiness. This further confirms that Joy Boy is most likely not a person's name, but a hereditary title that can be passed on to his successor. This is reinforced by the prophecy that there will be a new Joy Boy in the future.

From here, conspiracy theories about Joy Boy's reincarnation began to emerge. Will Joy Boy be reborn into the world with a new figure, or maybe someone else will take the title? Kaido in one of the episodes of the Wano arc once claimed to be the reincarnation of Joy Boy. But after Kaido met Luffy, Kaido's confession became weak.
Zunesha once said to Luffy when Luffy was using Gear 5 about the return of Joy Boy. From Zunesha's statement, it is possible that Joy Boy is not a matter of reincarnation but a title held by someone with powers similar to Joy Boy, considering that Joy Boy and Luffy have similar elastic powers. As we know, Luffy got his powers from Akuma no mi, Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika.

• Bink's Sake Conspiracy Theory

As we discussed, Joy Boy is not a person's name but a title. The next question arises, then who is the real name of the first Joy Boy? The first theory is that Luffy got elastic strength similar to Joy Boy because he ate Akuma no mi, Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, so the first conspiracy theory is that Joy Boy's original name was Nika.
Another community also came up with an even crazier conspiracy theory. This theory comes from one of the most famous songs in the One Piece series, Bink's Sake. The lyrics of this song talk about how pirate joy, passion, and freedom are all characteristics of Joy Boy. This has led to speculation that Joy Boy's real name is Bink.
The supporting theory is that Bink's Sake is an old song sung by pirates in ancient times. Yes, one of them is Straw Hat member Brook. A skeletal figure who has lived for hundreds of years because he ate Akuma No Mi which caused him to live forever and could not die.
