Why Didn’t Vegapunk Talk About Emeth? | Emeth as Definitive Proof
Emeth as Definitive Proof
When Shaka talked to the Straw Hat crew about the Void Century, he showed them the Iron Giant Emeth, created 900 years ago, as proof… Vegapunk couldn’t determine the power source of Emeth, which suggests that the advanced civilization possessed scientific power beyond Vegapunk. It seems it would have been better for Vegapunk to show Emeth as supplementary material to his message video.
At the time of the video, Emeth was completely inactive, but Vegapunk scientifically quantified its creation to be 900 years ago using age measurements, making his figures the most reliable… After all, they accurately predicted earthquakes and rising sea levels…
If Emeth were presented as evidence to the people, it would be much easier for them to believe in the existence of an advanced civilization. Yet, Vegapunk never mentioned Emeth in his message videos… While the videos likely contained more pressing content than proving the existence of advanced civilization, to convey that the World Government had committed some sin against the world, it was necessary to prove that an advanced civilization existed and that the World Government buried it in history’s darkness.
Perhaps Vegapunk deliberately avoided mentioning Emeth to prevent the people from forming a fixed idea that the World Government is evil. Vegapunk likely desires world peace and human progress, but believes that to achieve it, one must not judge matters based on the concepts and values of good and evil.
Vegapunk also said there was too little information to judge Joy Boy as good or evil. Humanity might be too obsessed with good and evil to achieve world peace… Vegapunk likely believes that the world cannot change without human progress.
