While One Piece is known for its lengthy and clever foreshadowing, this time there was one detail that really shocked readers and others.
Last November, scientists said that Saturn's rings would 'disappear' by 2025. That means humans will only have about 18 months left to clearly see Saturn's rings before they become “invisible”.
Although this news is from late 2023, it has only now really attracted special attention from netizens, after the One Piece chapter 1125 spoilers were revealed.
In this upcoming new chapter, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn – one of the Five Elders has died, after his role was taken over by Figarland Garling.
Now that Saturn in One Piece is dead and the Saturn rings in space are about to become invisible for a while, fans are finding a connection between the two events and calling it another masterful move of prophecy by Eiichiro Oda.
One Piece fan commented: “Oda intentionally makes things so crazy that they're unimaginable.”
“Whether you agree or not, Oda is still one of the (or the best) prophets on Earth.”another added.
But while fans are excited about this strange coincidence, there are also a lot of misconceptions surrounding it. First, Saturn's rings won't disappear completely, they'll just be invisible to Earth for a short while before they reappear.
“This phenomenon occurs due to the peculiar tilt of Saturn's axis, which causes the rings to lie side by side in our line of sight. Fortunately, this is not a permanent change. It is a fleeting cosmic event that occurs every 29.5 years, which is about the time it takes Saturn to orbit the Sun. After March 2025, Saturn's axial tilt will bring the rings back into view, then disappear again in November 2025.”earth.com explains.
Even though this is a natural phenomenon, its timing is still eerily close to the death of Saturn in One Piece. While there is no real connection between the two, it is still enough to keep fans excited about the manga's foreshadowing for years to come.
