The Astonishing Plot Holes of One Piece | Grand Line Review

Summary by Krater

This video examines prominent narrative inconsistencies in One Piece related to devil fruit mechanics, specifically focusing on characters like Sanji, Charlotte Katakuri, Pell, and Haki. The presenter concludes that these discrepancies stem from long-running story evolution, changes in author intent, and worldbuilding adjustments over time rather than storytelling mistakes.

From the video

Answers: What are the biggest narrative inconsistencies in One Piece regarding devil fruits and Haki?

• One Piece devil fruit inconsistencies
• Sanji devil fruit knowledge
• Charlotte Katakuri Logia vs Paramecia classification
• Pell and flying devil fruit users
• Haki introduction timeline

What it concludes

• Sanji claiming complete encyclopedic knowledge of devil fruits contradicts his lack of prior awareness that devil fruit users cannot swim.
• Charlotte Katakuri's classification changed from Logia in weekly magazine chapters to Special Paramecia in volume releases to resolve inconsistency with standard Paramecia rules.
• Pell's claim that only five flying devil fruits exist in the world contradicts the introduction of numerous subsequent flying devil fruit users in the story.
• Haki's late-game introduction after nearly 600 chapters creates retrospective inconsistencies with earlier characters like Crocodile and CP9 members who did not use it.
