Talk:Poneglyph

Poneglyph Category
This is a minor thing I suppose, but shouldn't the category for Poneglyphs be deleted since they are all on this page now? I'll go ahead and remove it from this page. --Markman81 09:40, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Dials Again
Better to have a strong page... Then several weak ones. Again like with Dials Joekido, and Blank History stuff, better to have it all together. There isn't enough on each to fill a page and they kinda support each other here together, which they don't on their own. One-Winged Hawk 00:24, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

In which episode Luffy and Zoro find the poneglyph half-buried at Alabasta desert?

I got a big question
Maybe I mess with my question so here are some points to understand it better:

The Rio Poneglyph is at Raftel, this phoneglyph reveals the real history of the world All other phoneglypsh reveal where are the weapons One Piece is at Raftel too Raftel is nearly impossible to reach Gol D. Roger make every pirate to go afte the treasure Gol D. Roger understood the Poneglyph symbols He made it to Raftel

So here is my question, If all above is true Roger knew the real history(maybe Raleigh too), but he couldnt tell it to the world(because of his illnes, because he is a pirate...) and he left the One Piece on purpose.

To make all pirates go not for the treasure but for the true itself, maybe he hope someone could undertand it too...and he didnt move the Poneglyph(like the Shandians) because the WG could find it easier and destroy it... I hope you could help me.Jd0064 01:43, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

It's all speculation for now, and to tell the truth, I've been thinking the same thing as you. Maybe the One Piece's origins are closely related to the truth, but to have them both be the same thing might disappoint some people. One Piece might even just be an intangible ideal.

If One Piece was really comprised of the Rio Poneglyph's truths, one would wonder why he didn't tell the world before he turned himself in - why would he let himself be executed and wait over twenty years for the truth to come out again? He may have been sick, but a lot of people did hear his speech before his death. He could have yelled out the truth before he died, instead of telling people to find the One Piece.

However, as a counter-argument, one could say that he had no choice but to keep the truth secret until another group of people strong enough to defend its ideals came along, since he knew he didn't have long to live. Then, along comes the Strawhats `-` So far, I think it's safe to believe that Luffy and his gang will indeed reach Raftel and, being strong enough to do so, find the One Piece (possibly as the Rio Poneglyph itself, in the sense of this argument...) and expose the forgotten truths.

However, knowing Oda, it could still be something completely different. Of course, all this only further proves how adept Oda really is at creating such an engrossing storyline ;) But I think I've written too much ._.

 * First off, everyone has the wrong impression of the Rio, it is the poneglyph you form when you combine all the others together. Hence why they say "The route to the rio poneglyph".  We shouldn't really be discussing forum-like topics on the wikia.  My guess though on why he choose not to tell is that he possibly knew his life wouldn't be long enough to act on the truths revealed because he was about to die.  In other words, he left it up to another to do what he could not. --One-Winged Hawk 07:43, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Anyways thank you very much,Jd0064 14:24, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

In that sense, couldn't the "One" in One Piece stand for the unification of all the truths? @_@ But yeah, this seems more like a forum topic... :< Ah well. Sephirona 19:20, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * That is a common fan theory, yes. --One-Winged Hawk 17:30, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Other Poneglyph
During Robin's flashback to her past, there is one point where we see her reading an unidentified poneglyph. It's not mentioned on this page, and I wasn't sure if it was in the manga, but it should be mentioned.--24.255.171.220 18:39, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

defenitly should be,i'm adding some info about it,but i got no idea how to find make a suitable picture,so if somebody knows,be my guest The Humaniod Typhoon 14:23, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Man...its the OHARA PONEGLYPH http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Poneglyph#Ohara_Poneglyph 14:27, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

were not talking of that one....i forgot the name,but it was 2 or 3 chapter after the chapter "Saul" --The Humaniod Typhoon 14:40, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

I found it.... Now I don't really know if it really has to be put into this article, but you should make it, add to it a reference http://www.mangareader.net/103-2505-7/one-piece/chapter-398.html and we'll see what will happen, if it is completely approved of. 14:52, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

OMG making a reference is sooooo hard,i tried like 7 times in a row to make it! that code is even more complicated then quantumfysica! --The Humaniod Typhoon 15:05, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Gol D. Roger
It's mentioned in the article that Roger read the Belfry poneglyph and the Raftel poneglyph. I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure Rayleigh made it clear Roger couldn't decipher the poneglyphs. Should this be reworded to make that a little less confusing?


 * Yeah, if you can write it better be our guest. He could hear "the voice of all things", though I also note he wrote that message on the beflry poneglyph.  Yeah saying he could read it, as in STUDY it, is incorrect... And yes, the whole thing is very confusing, I wish we'd been given more info on it. One-Winged Hawk 23:16, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Better Image
Can someone get a better image of the unknown poneglyph? You can't see any of the text. It just looks like a blank piece of slate. If the anime image is no good we should go back to the one from the manga. 04:31, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Done, but the text can't be seen to begin with (aside from a close up on a sentence in the scene before).

Skypiea poneglyph
There's only the one at the bell. The text Robin found in the ruins were never referred to as poneglyph. She only says "It's the same ancient 'poneglyph' script." in the chapter. My little brother posted an image of the raw on mangahelpers: -- [ defchris ] · [ Diskussion ] · 23:42, December 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think so too. Also, Robin just said "some poneglyphs contain information, and the others contain indications to find the latter". She never said that the wall in Shandora was a poneglyph indicating the position of the belfry one. That would be stupid anyway, since the belfry was right in the center of the town... So the IP's edit totally made sense.

The rock that the text was on was not part of the original wall. Also, the fact that there is ancient text on it almost automatically make it a poneglyph. It's an all or nothing deal with ancient text in this case. Otherwise, why would the government outlaw research only on things refered to as poneglyphs? That's like saying it's illegal to read any of the even numbered Harry Potter books but the odd numbered ones are ok. 03:34, December 31, 2011 (UTC)

The government forbids research about decyphering poneglyphs, so that includes any text similar to that of poneglyphs. I fail to see the problem. Thing is, Robin never said it was a poneglyph, so that's kinda speculating to state so. Plus, it's actually more likely that it not be a poneglyph, given Robin's attitude (she clearly does not care as much as when she finds the belfry or the Ryugu ones) and the fact that it's useless (the real poneglyph was originally right next to it). So the speculation gets really problematic. This should be clearer about what we know and what we don't know.

I agree that it is not a Poneglyph, just ruins with Ancient Text, if you think about it, those ruins are about as old as the poneglyph themselves, so that might be the same language. It isn't weird to thin that that is the language used during the void century or something like that.

The type of stone is different from the rest of the wall. Besides, she does say it's a poneglyph. http://www.mangareader.net/103-2379-2/one-piece/chapter-272.html on that page and the next two pages she refers to multiple poneglyphs in the city. At this point it would just be ignorant to think that that rock isn't a poneglyph because she called it a rock one time 31 chapters later. 17:22, December 31, 2011 (UTC)

Klobis doesn't seem to think both of the stones are poneglyphs, judging by his edit.
