Shanks Twin Theory Confirmed: A Deep Dive into One Piece Revelation

In the world of One Piece, mysteries are abundant, and each new chapter brings more depth to the ever-expanding narrative. Among the most tantalizing mysteries in One Piece has been the theory surrounding Shanks, one of the most iconic characters in the series.

Could Shanks have a twin? This question has sparked countless fan theories over the years, and with the release of One Piece Manga Chapter 1134, the theory seems to have been confirmed.

In this blog, we will delve into the long history of clues, hints, and shocking revelations that have led us to this point. From cryptic statements by Whitebeard to mysterious figures seen in front of the Gorosei,

Let’s break down how the shanks twin theory has finally come to light.

Shanks and Whitebeard: A Cryptic Conversation

Our journey begins with a conversation between Shanks and Whitebeard, which took place in One Piece Manga Chapter 434 and Episode 316.

In this key moment, Whitebeard, the mighty leader of the Whitebeard Pirates, makes a remark that raises significant questions about his past. Whitebeard tells him,

“The Wound I Got From ‘That Guy’ Aches Whenever I Look At Your Face.”

This cryptic line immediately drew attention because Whitebeard’s comment seems to refer to someone who closely resembles Shanks, but who is he referring to? Whitebeard’s statement implies that he has encountered someone who bears a strong resemblance to him but is a separate individual altogether.

The mystery surrounding “that guy” has lingered for years. While some fans initially believed Whitebeard was simply referring to Shanks himself or another past rival, the possibility that Whitebeard is talking about Shanks’ twin has always been a strong contender.
Shanks’ reaction to the statement—changing the subject and avoiding the topic—only fueled further speculation. If he has a twin, it would explain why Whitebeard might feel a deep connection to someone who looks like him and why he would avoid the conversation. It seems like a subtle hint at a deeper mystery that would be revealed later.

The Hands Mystery: The Curious Case of the Double-Handed Shanks

As the story progressed, further evidence supporting the his twin theory came in One Piece Manga Chapter 552 and Episode 461. In this scene, Ace visits Shanks to thank him for saving Luffy’s life. During their conversation, Ace mentions that Luffy frequently talks about him, which highlights their strong bond.

However, there’s something else in this scene that stands out:
Shanks is depicted with both of his hands fully intact.

For fans of One Piece, this is a significant moment because he is known to be missing his left arm after a tragic event earlier in the series. The fact that he’s shown with both hands intact was initially thought to be an animation error.
However, given the meticulous attention to detail in One Piece, many believe this wasn’t a mistake. In fact, the reanimation of the scene in later episodes corrected the mistake and showed him with only one hand.

This leads to the possibility that he is seen with two hands might not be the real Shanks at all, but rather his twin. The animators might have been deliberately hinting at a twin who still has both hands.
This raises the question: What if Shanks’ twin is someone who looks identical to him, but with both hands intact? And if this is the case, why he never fully acknowledged this fact?

The Mysterious Figure and the Gorosei – 

Another pivotal moment in the Shanks twin theory comes in One Piece Manga Chapter 907 and Episode 887.
In this arc, a mysterious figure—who looks almost identical to him—appears in front of the Gorosei, the Five Elders who hold immense power within the World Government. This mysterious figure, however, lacks Shanks’ iconic scar, raising questions about who this person is.

The figure says, “I wish to talk with you about a certain pirate.” The immediate reaction of fans was one of confusion: Who is this pirate? And why is this person, who looks so much like him, speaking to the Gorosei?

The absence of Shanks’ scar on this mysterious person’s face strongly suggests that he may be Shanks’ twin. The fact that he shares Shanks’ appearance but has no scar adds another layer of intrigue. Could this figure be Shanks’ twin, operating under a different agenda?

Given the context, it seems highly likely that this person is indeed Shanks’ twin, and his interaction with the Gorosei hints at a much larger role he may play in the ongoing story.
The fact that this figure wants to speak to the Gorosei about a “certain pirate” also suggests that he has a stake in the larger events unfolding in the world, possibly linked to him or his mysterious past.

The Rumor About Shanks Being the Son of Saint Figarland Garling

Adding even more complexity to the his twin theory is the growing rumor that he could be the son of Saint Figarland Garling, a high-ranking member of the Celestial Dragons. He is now the Supreme Commander of the Holy Knights as well as one of the Five Elders. 

If this rumor is true, it would explain some of Shanks’ connections to powerful factions in the world, and it could be a key piece of the puzzle in understanding why he has remained relatively neutral in global affairs.

If Shanks is indeed the son of a Celestial Dragon, it would make sense that his twin might be closely involved in the political intrigue surrounding the World Government. The idea of him being a Celestial Dragon’s son also ties into his mysterious background and suggests that his twin could have a much more sinister role to play in the world’s events.

Latest Revelation in Chapter 1134: A Mysterious Figure Appears

In One Piece Manga Chapter 1134, we finally get a major clue that seems to confirm the Shanks twin theory. In a scene set in the “Realm of the Dead,” Loki is talking to someone named “Mosa” through a ‘Snow Transponder’s Snail(Voice recognition and cold resistant type)‘.

During their conversation, Loki makes a chilling remark: “If I was there in your stead, I’d have turned that place into a ruin and slaughtered the lot of them!!” Mosa responds, “I… I don’t want that…”

Loki continues, “For a noble soul. You’re toooooo naive, Mosa! You gotta stamp them out without mercy! Only a fool gives their enemy a chance to get payback!” To which Mosa replies, “Thank you for your counsel. You use harsh words, but there’s a streak of kindness beneath the surface. I’ve noticed that more and more recently.”

Despite Loki’s harsh demeanor, Mosa recognizes a softer side to him. Loki then shouts at Mosa, telling him not to speak of kindness and warns him not to repeat his actions. Loki’s outburst, coupled with his statements, makes it clear that he’s a complex character—ruthless yet with a streak of kindness beneath the surface.

The Mysterious Figure: A Twin or a Shadow?

In Chapter 1134, two mysterious figures, both cloaked in robes, are summoned. Among them is a character who bears an uncanny resemblance to Shanks, the renowned captain of the Red-Haired Pirates. The most striking detail about this figure is the absence of Shanks’ signature scar, a key feature that has become a defining aspect of his character.

This could be the long-awaited confirmation of Shanks’ twin. The figure’s appearance and lack of the scar make it clear that this might be Shanks’ twin—the mysterious person who has been operating in the shadows. The fact that this twin is summoned in such a pivotal moment further suggests that he will play a key role in the upcoming war or in some other significant event.
 This development in the manga gives this theory a new level of plausibility, as the figure’s appearance and lack of scar seems like a deliberate choice by Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece.

Conclusion: The Shanks Twin Theory Is Now Confirmed

With the release of One Piece Manga Chapter 1134, the Shanks twin theory has finally been confirmed. While fans have speculated about Shanks’ mysterious past for years, this latest revelation provides the clarity that has been long sought after. The clues scattered throughout the series—Whitebeard’s cryptic remark, Shanks with two hands, the mysterious figure in front of the Gorosei, and the figures in Chapter 1134—have all pointed toward the existence of a twin who shares Shanks’ appearance but has his own distinct identity and agenda.

As we look ahead, the twin’s involvement in the upcoming war, the mysteries of Shanks’ parentage, and the role he will play in the larger story promise to be key elements of the narrative moving forward. With the stakes higher than ever, fans can expect even more twists and revelations as the story unfolds.

The confirmation of Shanks’ twin is just the beginning. The story of this mysterious figure will undoubtedly become one of the most intriguing aspects of One Piece in the coming chapters.

As always, Eiichiro Oda continues to surprise and captivate us, and this new development has only added to the excitement of the journey ahead.

However, all of the theories mentioned above are just hypothetical or fanmade and none of these theories are confirmed by the author Eiichiro Oda Sensei or his team. We are still in the dark and know nothing about what will happen in the upcoming chapters of the One Piece manga. May be there’s no any twin of Shanks and he himself is playing both of the roles. 

It might be possible that our dear Shanks is the Lord Aizen of the One Piece Universe. We can only say that Oda Sensei is cooking something big and no one knows what will be served on our plates in the upcoming chapters.
