One Pieces Creator is Teasing an Answer to a Big Series Mystery

Over its 24 years of publishing, One Piece has delighted its readers with grand adventures, epic fights, emotional moments, and also a list of mysteries that still have to be resolved, after more than 1,000 chapters. One of such mysteries, the identity of the legendary figure known as “Sun God Nika”, will probably be revealed soon, according to the creator of the hit manga series, Eiichiro Oda.

Very little is known about Nika. He was featured prominently in chapter 1018, during the battle between the Straw Hat Crew and Kaidou’s Beast Pirates, when the newest member of Luffy’s crew, Jinbe, fought against Who’s Who, one of Kaidou’s top executives. A former member of the World’s Government top-secret organization known as CP9, Who’s Who was sent to prison as a punishment for failing to protect the Gomu Gomu no Mi, the same Devil Fruit that ended up giving series’ protagonist Luffy his powers. While jailed, Who’s Who heard from a guard about “Sun God Nika”, a legendary warrior from the past that slaves used to pray to for deliverance from their suffering. Since then, fans of the manga have started theorizing about Nika, even pointing out previous references to him that had flown under the radar. Now, Oda himself declared that Nika’s identity could be revealed soon.

In a Japanese radio program that aired on December 11, comedian Sanma Akashiya, who is a close friend of Oda’s, was being asked questions about One Piece. He said, jokingly, that Nika could be based on himself. This is not the first time that one of the manga’s characters is based on a famous Japanese comedian: all the Marine admirals shown so far are based upon famous Japanese actors and are drawn to resemble them. What makes the Sanma episode really interesting, however, is that Oda himself happened to be listening to the show. He immediately sent a text to his friend, saying that Nika is not based on him and, more importantly, that the next time the character appears, his face will be revealed.

Despite having been referenced only once, Nika appears to be a key character for the development of the series, starting with his name. The word nika, in fact, is also used in the Japanese language to represent the sound of laughter, and many similar “sound effects” have been employed by Oda during the course of the manga. The island where the legendary treasure “One Piece” is hidden, the final destination to become the Pirate King, is also called Laugh Tale. Furthermore, the “Sun God” moniker has appeared several times over the course of the manga. During the “Sky Island” arc, the young woman Mousse was about to be sacrificed to a “Sun God”. Also, in a chapter showing the past of the Emperor Big Mom, Mother Carmel mentions the Sun God on the island of Erbaf, where the Winter Solstice Festival is about to be celebrated, representing the death and rebirth of the sun. Finally, at the end of the Sky Island arc, the Straw Hat crew is shown celebrating dancing around a big fire. Luffy’s silhouette shown in that panel is really similar to the stylized figure of the Sun God shown in Who’s Who memories. All these theories will be tested the next time that Nika appears in One Piece.

This does not necessarily mean that Nika will appear soon, however, If he is really connected to Laugh Tale and, as a theory speculates, to another mysterious character, Joy Boy, these revelations could be still a long time to come. Fans of One Piece will have to wait at least until the end of the Wano Arc and the clash between the Straw Hats and the Kaidou-Big Mom alliance to see what Oda sensei has in store for them.
