Saint Marcus Mars and the Abilities of Itsumade | The Star that Rejects Life
The Star that Rejects Life
Given that Mars is named after the planet, it’s clear that he represents the role of Mars among the Five Elders. This raises the possibility that Itsumade’s abilities might also involve fire. However, looking at it from the perspective of his title as the “Environmental Warrior God,” Mars is known as a planet currently uninhabitable for humans.
While there are plans for terraforming and future human colonization, Mars is presently a place where life, including plant life, cannot survive—a star that rejects life itself. Although we can’t say for sure what Mars represents in the world of ONE PIECE, the combination of “Environmental Warrior God” and “Mars” seems incredibly ironic.
In our current world, there’s a strong push for environmental conservation and sustainability, yet Imu-sama has recently committed acts of enormous environmental destruction. It’s terrifying to think that the “Environmental Warrior God” would so easily accept this as the will of the Creator. However, this aligns with the belief that those who create the world have the right to destroy it—a chilling logic that reinforces the idea that under the Five Elders’ rule, there’s no hope for a happy future.
This concludes the article. Thank you very much for reading it to the end!
