One Piece 1082, Akagami no Shanks’s father’s full name was finally revealed after a long time. This is because, in One Piece 1082, Eiichiro Oda hinted that Shanks’s father, who died in God Valley, was once a Gorosei. But what signs show that Shanks’ father is a Gorosei? Here’s what I thought about One Piece 1082.
Gorosei says in Film Red that Uta is from Figarland because he is related to Shanks. This means that Shanks is also a member of the Tenryuubito family of Figarland. If we look at Spanish society, we can see that the name Figaro is a joint family name. On the other hand, Figarland is called Figarando in Japanese, with such a good chance that this inspired Oda to make the last name Shanks. This makes sense since all of the Tenryuubito family names come from Spanish.
Turning to Shanks and his father, there is an exciting hint about what Akagami’s father’s full name is. Before, everyone knew that Shanks’ character was based on the Norse god Tyr. Mars is often linked to Tyr in Norse folklore, which is interesting. Surprisingly, we already knew that the five members of the Gorosei are named after planets in the solar system. So, people think Gorosei, the father of Shanks, is called Saint Figarland Mars. This is true because Sengoku didn’t mind that Shanks was at Marineford. During the Reverie, even the Gorosei took their time to do what Shanks asked.
Gorosei told Shanks at that time, “Because it’s you.” This shows that Shanks has a history with the Gorosei, which Oda has been hiding until now. Also, it is thought that Shanks’ father, Mars, died during the God Valley event. Rocks D. Xebec killed him along with the other Tenryuubito. This fact will explain why Oda made Shanks and Blackbeard enemies in the future: Blackbeard has taken on Rocks’ drive to kill Shanks’s father.
After Shanks’s father died, everyone in the Figarland family had to take on the name Mars. Many people think that the bald Gorosei, who always had a sword with him, got the name Mars from his father. That’s because the bald Gorosei looks like Shanks, who always talks about how to keep the world in balance. So, it’s safe to say that Shanks’ father was named Saint Figarland Mars, a Gorosei who died in God Valley.
That was the review from One Piece 1082 about who Shanks’ father figure is. It is interesting to wait for Oda to solve more secrets about Shanks in One Piece 1082.
