00:00One Piece Episode 1154. Why did Vegapunk erase his memory in Egghead? During the latest One Piece
00:07episode, it was revealed that Vegapunk Stella had his memories erased a few weeks back.
00:13But why did he do that? The latest One Piece Episode 1154 holds a very significant pivot
00:19in the narrative. On one hand, the Straw Hats are finally on their way to Elbaf Island,
00:25but on the other hand, Dr. Vegapunk died. However, the episode also revealed that before dying,
00:32Vegapunk Stella, along with Shaka and Pythagoras, decided to erase their memories. But why exactly?
00:39Well, as revealed in the anime episode itself, Vegapunk did it to protect his plan of revealing
00:45all the knowledge he obtained to the whole world via a broadcasting message set to trigger upon
00:51his death. He knew the world government would never allow it, so he took the drastic step.
00:57Vegapunk erasing his memory is part of a bigger plan in One Piece in the recent One Piece Episode 1154.
01:04A flashback of Dr. Vegapunk is shown, focusing on Stella, Shaka, and Pythagoras' narrative.
01:11The three of them discovered that someone had stolen a part of the Mother Flame,
01:15which was only possible by a Vegapunk. While the initial suspect was Lilith in Stella's eyes,
01:21it was soon discovered that York was the real culprit, and she was secretly working with the
01:26world government. York supplied information to the world government regarding Stella's forbidden
01:32research on the Void Century. Knowing the world government would get him for it,
01:37Stella drew a contingency plan. Stella, with the help of Shaka and Pythagoras,
01:42recorded a message that will be broadcast to the whole world upon his death,
01:46revealing everything he knew about the Void Century, ancient weapons, and other information.
01:52However, he had to ensure the broadcast would go live and nothing would hinder it. To do so,
01:58he, along with Shaka and Pythagoras, erased their own memories of the recent events.
02:03This essentially ensured that York or the world government would not be suspicious of them.
02:09Additionally, the broadcast will be triggered by Vegapunk's death,
02:12and they could not do anything to stop it. However, Vegapunk did leave himself a written note,
02:18informing of a rough idea of the future events, along with an insinuation of accepting death,
02:24which Vegapunk's are now alive in one piece after Stella's death. The Egghead Island arc was a tragic
02:30turn of events for the Doctor, Vegapunk's in the series. With the latest and probably the most tragic
02:36death of Stella, the knowledge held by the Vegapunk's is now just fragments of what it used to be,
02:42especially since many others have passed away as well. After Stella's death, only three of the
02:47Vegapunk's are known to be alive Lilith, Edison, and York. Lilith and Edison escaped the island
02:54alongside the Straw Hat Pirates, despite Edison being heavily damaged during the event. Lilith is
03:00essentially the last free Vegapunk that carries the legacy, with Edison to assist her. Meanwhile,
03:07York, who was the traitor, is now in world government custody. However, the only
03:12reason the world government is choosing to keep her alive is that she is the only person who can
03:17still produce the Mother Flame, making her extremely valuable. During the turn of events on Egghead
03:23Island, a total of four Vegapunks lost their lives. Stella was the latest one to be deceased,
03:30and the others include Shaka, who was killed by York, Pythagoras, who was destroyed during the chaos,
03:35and atlas, who sacrificed herself to ensure the Straw Hats escape. Stella killed by Kizaru Lilith still
03:42alive and escaped with the Straw Hats, Edison alive and escaped alongside Lilith York alive,
03:48and in the world government custody, Shaka, killed by York Pythagoras, destroyed during the chaos
03:54Atlas sacrificed herself. So that the Straw Hats could escape here are a few pieces of information about
04:00the One Piece anime series. Do you think Stella's plan to erase their memory was necessary? Let us know
