One Piece: Oda Reveals A Legendary God From Elbaf

As a devoted fan of One Piece, I find myself utterly captivated by the recent developments in chapter 1128. The revelation that the character we thought was the Sun God is not, in fact, the divine entity we’ve been waiting for, but merely an imposter who loves playing God, has left me intrigued.


This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

Key Takeaways

  • Elbaf worships the Sun God Nika, setting up important plot points in One Piece.
  • The identity of the new Sun God in Elbaf may be tied to Norse mythology, possibly Hel.
  • More deities from Norse mythology, like Loki and Odin, may be introduced in the Elbaf arc.

The Elbaf Arc of One Piece has kicked off with great promise, leaving fans eager to follow where Eiichiro Oda takes this tale. For many viewers, the Elbaf arc is long-awaited, having been alluded to in the story even before Wano was hinted at. In some ways, this arc could turn out to be even more significant than previously thought, potentially being the largest in the entire One Piece series. This may very well be the most crucial Arc in One Piece yet, implying that Oda will unveil key characters here and bring prominent figures like Shanks into a pivotal role.

Absolutely, it seems reasonable that the fresh characters from Elbaf are influenced by Norse mythology. It’s well-known among fans that Elbaf is deeply connected to Norse mythos, and characters like Loki are expected to show up in this storyline at some stage. Notably, Oda has already introduced one such deity to the audience, suggesting more exciting developments for the future of One Piece.

In the realm of Elbaf, there are numerous beings often thought to be divine entities, one of them being Loki. However, it’s important to note that Loki’s status as a deity hasn’t been officially confirmed. Instead, Loki is recognized as a giant and a prince within the kingdom. Readers are left wondering if Loki truly wields divine power or if he’s simply a powerful giant. The answer lies in the hands of the storyteller, Oda, who will ultimately shape the religious beliefs and cultural norms of Elbaf. It could be that in Elbaf, individuals with significant roles are addressed as gods, much like Skypiea. On the other hand, Loki might not hold a divine position at all, but rather be a powerful giant among many others who are inspired by deities. At this point, fans can only speculate about the details of Loki’s status and the nature of Elbaf’s religious system.

We must report this incident to the Sun God immediately!

In contrast to other places, however, the land of Elbaf has a unique deity that is universally revered – the Sun God, also recognized as Nika. As revealed during the Egghead Island Arc by Vegapunk, it’s widely accepted among fans that the story of Nika originates from Elbaf. Interestingly, tales about Nika predate even Joy Boy, a figure who lived 800 years ago in the One Piece universe. While the existence of Nika as a divine entity remains debatable, what is certain is that the people of Elbaf consider Nika to be a true God. So far, Nika is the only deity that fans are aware of in Elbaf.

Currently, the moniker of Sun God has been recognized by fans as belonging exclusively to Luffy, following his consumption of the Gomu Gomu no Mi and acquisition of Nika’s powers. However, a fresh character emerged claiming the title of Sun God in One Piece chapter 1128, within the fabricated Elbaf that the Straw Hat Pirates encountered. This newcomer will undoubtedly play a thrilling part in shaping the future of One Piece. Yet, it remains uncertain whether this new character truly deserves the title of Sun God, considering Luffy’s claim to the title. It is highly possible that this individual might be posing as the Sun God and ruling over a self-created world, much like their inclination towards power suggests.

What Is The Real Identity Of The Sun God?

The Real Identity Of The Sun God Could Be Hel

In chapter 1128 of One Piece, the portrayed character as the Sun God seems to be a misconception. There can only be one Sun God, and that individual is Nika. The powers associated with the Nika Fruit were once held by Joy Boy, but currently, they belong to Luffy. If anyone embodies the Sun God, it’s Luffy; however, this other character appears to relish the role of a deity. Yet, the question remains: who is this person genuinely? As things stand, fans are unaware of their true identity.

It’s quite evident that these characters may have origins rooted in Norse mythology deities, as suggested by their distinctive design. Compared to typical Giants, they possess an extraordinary charm and are not overly bulky. This specific character is adorned with a fur coat and a skull of a deer with grand antlers. In one hand, they wield a shield displaying a sun emblem, while the other carries a staff bearing the same symbol.

I will not let you escape! – the Sun God

It’s evident that this character firmly considers themselves a deity equivalent to the Sun God or simply enjoys acting as such. This implies they hold the Sun God in high regard, potentially leading to them becoming a future ally for the Straw Hat Pirates.

Regarding the likeness of the depicted Sun God, fans can only speculate due to the character’s appearance. Interestingly, there exists a deity in Norse mythology named Hel, who bears a striking resemblance to this figure. This goddess is often portrayed with a deer-like skull and a feathered jacket, much like our character. Additionally, they both wield a staff. Consequently, the design for the Sun God by Oda in the previous chapter seems to align quite well with Hel. For those unfamiliar with Hel, she is the daughter of Loki and a formidable figure in Norse mythology.

In mythology, Hel is believed to be both the goddess of death and the ruler of the underworld. The presence of the Hyllmungandr snake being under her control strongly suggests that this figure could indeed be Hel. Additionally, some fans have noted a similarity in physical stature between this character and the women depicted by Oda, the creator of One Piece, leading to speculation that Hel may be female. It remains to be seen if Oda will confirm this theory in future chapters of the story.

It’s widely expected among fans that Oda will introduce several deities in the Elbaf storyline, with Loki already confirmed and his father, speculated to be Odin, also likely to appear. The fans eagerly anticipate the possible introduction of Thor as well. As the Elbaf Arc unfolds, it promises to get even more thrilling!
