So that's a panel of a world noble who is asking about what the void century is?

So even the celestial dragons are possibly in the dark about the history? Is it literally JUST the Elder Planets and Imu to really know?

Yeah that's a weird disconnect. The other World Nobles were mainly demanding that he be shut up, either because they know something, know it's bad for them, or are just being their usual asshole selves.

But again, like with Mjosgard, we see that the Nobles aren't a single monolithic group, there's enough brain cells for a shard of curiosity and humanity in some of them.

Imagine you lived on an isolated island that teaches it's own, twisted, version of history but leaves out anything that doesn't interest them.

You'd step out into the world and be incredibly confused hearing about World War 2 and that was 78 years ago, not 800.

So it really isn't a stretch for the world nobles to not know that the void century even exists.

You don't even need to use that scenario. There are people TODAY who don't know much of anything about World War II.

I mean you don't need to be isolated.

Japan is a good example, they don't know about the atrocities of WW2 because they don't teach their people they were the bad guys.

Sounds also a bit like how many US Southern states leave out crucial elements of the Civil War such as being the aggressor or slavery.

u/potat_infinity May 09 '24

live in a southern state, those elements are very much not left out

My fiance is from Alabama, they teach about the history of slavery but they paint it much more about how important it was for America's growth than as the pain the slaves suffered.

u/potat_infinity May 11 '24

I mean what would really be the point in talking so much about how slaves suffered? it should be pretty obvious to everyone that they suffered a lot. and slavery has been going on since literally forever, so the growth of america is much more notable than slaves suffering

not just Japan - in Canada, very few schools teach that we also had slaves up here for a time eve though eventually many abolitionists helped slaves escape to here, and many (although fewer every year) have a sanitised version of what European colonials did to First Nations people.

I would assume that every country on the planet sanitises and rugsweeps brutal parts of their history.

Ask anyone in mainland China what happened in 1989... And that was only 35 years ago.

u/kicut49 May 09 '24

Tbh most official history lesson are like that throughout the world. West, east, north and south. And one of the more notorious one is Japanese and their colonial history. Maybe Oda's critisim at that as well.

That completely ignores the fact that the CDs need to have some sort of knowledge to explain their influence.

u/TheNorseCrow May 09 '24

"You are noble. They are not. You are above them. They are beneath you. It is in your blood."

That's probably not to far from the reasoning used and because everyone around them bows to their every little whim and they can do literally anything they want the Celestial Dragons truly believes it is just their god given right to be superior.

So, no. The Celestial Dragons don't need any real knowledge to explain their influence beyond "We exist"

Sounds accurate to IRL monarchies, oop
