Noland came too soon, but unlike Roger. He never knew that. For all he knew it was his time, his world, his story. He was the protagonist of his own story. He never knew the antagonist. He died not knowing a thing. That is unbelievably sad. It's also an idea Oda uses elsewhere. What comes to mind now is Rebecca's mother dying not knowing Kyros existed. Ignorance is a sad existence.

Noland had it all, all the skills to brave the sea by himself, and the charisma to make as many allies as he wanted. He had much more than Luffy or Roger ever will. Except for one thing: freedom. In the end, Noland worked under the king, and that literally killed him. If he was on his own, he would eventually find his way up a knock up stream instead of being executed.

You're delusional if you truly believe Noland couldnt defeat you in War Thunder...

nothing in one piece pains me as much as Noland's story. It's such a tragedy

I still don't know how people can call Skypiea "skippable" or "boring". It's one of the most important arcs that set the stage for how the lore, and how the Straw Hats will leave their mark on this world going forward. Seriously an amazing arc that grows more and more important with time. Also, funnily enough, I feel that the Long Ring Long Land will be extremely important down the line. Maybe not the events that happened at that time, but everything it set up and showed us.

Neve considered, but having this take of Usopp being an actual Noland's descendant is quite amazing! Now I thought there's some weird explanation that Noland's descendant were split into those who did believe Noland was a liar came to have unique features, unlike those who didn't: While the ones who thought he was lying came to develop a long nose associated with liars, much like a sort of "mark of sin", while those who thought Noland was truthful kept the "chestnut". Very interesting indeed.

The way i interpret the Joyboy prophecy is that there isn't a chosen one, but a chosen many born every generation. Noland, Caligara, Roger, Ace, Luffy and Usopp are all potential Joyboys. The reason Luffy is able to bring the Dawn is because he was lucky enough to have everything happen all at once. Maybe there were other Joyboys that made it to Laughtale like Rogee but had no way get the message out like Roger or there wasnt a Posideon born at the time. To me, Noland is like Ace in that he was talen out before he could reach his true potential.

OMG Noland and Calgara's backstory is amazing, I'm so happy that you made a video about the Skypiea arc. I still cry when I see their tragic end and then how Robin tells Wyper about Noland's descendant. Bro I hope we get Wyper back in the story for the final war.

Noland is the definition of going out sad😢 He represents Sad Boy

Damn, when I was considering getting into this series for the first time, I had so many people tell me to skip Skypeia. But I decided to watch all of it anyway. Now that I have, I cannot see why people say to skip it, it is one of the most interesting arcs lore wise in the entire series.

Do you think one part of why he didn’t smile was because he saw that he almost lead the government to the island? After getting betrayed, he could’ve reflected on how bad the gov was.

Dak casually dropping the “the ancient kingdom is manipulating fate in their favor far into the future” in the Noland video 😭

Nolan has always been one of my characters from the past era. His and clgara’s story always gets me😢

Skypeia keeps on giving long after its time. What I've really been wondering about though is why Imu specifically hates Blackbeard on the same level she hates Luffy, Vivi and Shirayoshi. We know why she hates the other 3, but we have no clue yet as to why Blackbeard was among the posters and why his was defiled and cut up like Luffy's. Luffy is Joyboy, Shirayoshi is Poseidon, Vivi is the descendant of the D who spread the ponyglyphs around the world. Blackbeard though? What ties him back to the Void century like the other 3? Is it just because of Rocks? Then the question is what ties Rocks back to the Void century? Blackbeard was singled out by Imu to be among these figures that all tie back to the Void century in some way but we haven't got a clue what exactly it is that puts him there.

noland is the definition of PK, finding the OP is nice but bro literally was everywhere like it is his own house. feels like his story wasn't shared with us 100%. can not wait for his story be relevant again.

There's one simple reason that Noland didn't die with a smile on his face the way the others you named did. That is a trait specifically belonging to the D tribe, of which Noland was not a part.

Nerona also sounds a lot like Verona, the city where Rome and Juliet took place. Looking at the official translation imu says “ I desire” could oda be cooking a twisted version of the Shakespeare classic? In the original one they both die but in the OP twist one gets to live forever.. the crazy thing would be if lili had law fruit and she was the one giving the surgery.. also would make sense for her to have a powerful DF that could have helped moving the poneglyps

The skypeians didn't know where the bell was when Roger was visiting, and they still didn't know where it was after Roger found it when Luffy visted. If Roger was friends with the skypeians, then the bell's location being a mystery would be a plot hole. Its more likely that Roger arrived and saw the conflict between the Shandians and the sky people and snuck past to find the tressure himself before getting out of there before anyone noticed.

I see it as almost a phenomenon how you can come to the opposite conclusion as Parvision with the government not being the ones who sabotaged Noland, but you actually came to roughly the same conclusion as hidden in his devil fruits theory about music connection to the soul. Par’s always talking about the likelihood that and idea is true being higher when two people come to the same conclusion through different lenses but it’s actually the opposite in this case where you used the same evidence or “lens” to come to opposing conclusions. In that case does it strengthen the lens/evidence being used. I guess that means we are looking in the right places and Hidden was onto something when he said we should look in the pre-timeskip for answers as Oda had originally planned for the series to last 5 years before it expanded making arcs like Skypeia and Alabasta infinitely more important for the answers yet to come. Awesome video Dak, Nolan D. GOAT!
