Sometimes I Can't Help But Think That One Piece Is What The Owl House Would Have Been If They Could Have

Sometimes I can't help but think that One Piece is what The Owl House would have been if they could have had more episodes. Both series have an extensive lore that you have to explore and venture to discover more of it, they are about finding a place to belong and call home, they are about a corrupt government that has ruined the lives of all citizens and some characters try to change it for the better for everyone and how the protagonists (Luffy and Luz) have changed the lives of everyone they have met for the better.

Me after see The Owl House Season 3 Chapter 1 and Tokyo Revengers Chapter 275:

When Belos said: “YOU did do something good. I thought this one (referring to Hunter) was another lost cause. Because of you (referring to Luz), WE can finish OUR work as witch hunters, starting with them! (referring to Amity, Gus and Willow)” clearly the WE is referring to himself and Caleb but I can't help but think that Belos was also referring to Luz because even though he tried to kill her, at the same time he wants her to be on his side and support him (something we have seen quite a few times and that he has also done to Caleb) because Belos already believed that she was a witch hunter like him because of the fact that she was human and believed that he could help her free herself from the "mental corruption" of the Boiling Islands and the fact that she wants to be useful, help others and always ends up helping him (even though she clearly never knew she was helping him, nor did she want to) only reinforces that belief because Belos understands her since, like Luz, he also wants to help, protect and save others, especially Luz, in his twisted way. He thanks her for always help him and even wants and tries to force her to help her to accept "her destiny" as a witch hunter as a twisted way of thanks and support. And the fact that before he goes to the Boiling Islands tells Luz that whatever he's planning is for the sake of her soul (and probably Camila's soul too) shows how reinforced Belos has this belief.

Now that we saw that in this new timeline Baji, Hanma and Smiley are in Tokyo Manji, can you imagine these three getting along and teaming up because they like to cause chaos for fun and love to hit others?

Something I realized about Belos is how his appearance reflects his personality. His human appearance symbolizes how he sees himself and how he wants others to see him (as someone good, heroic and well-intentioned) and he has tricked everyone into seeing him that way (he even fooled us the audience in season 1 making us believe that he was just a well-intentioned extremist who suffered from "wild magic" and just wanted to return to the Human Realm because he missed his home) while his true appearance symbolizes who he really is (someone evil, manipulative, selfish and sadistic) and how he possesses living beings to later discard when they're no longer useful (representing how he manipulates others to later discard them when they are no longer needed or useful).

So much so that Belos believes that his human appearance is his true appearance when actually his monstrous appearance is his true appearance. He basically transformed himself into a magical monster that simply assumes the appearance of a human because he carved glyphs on his skin and consumed so many palismen, turning him into the kind of monstrous and evil creature that he believes the rest of the inhabitants of the Boiling Islands are.

This shows how even though Belos believed that witches were monsters, actually he was always the monster.

Going back to the comparisons between The Owl House and Bloodborne, the way Belos turns into a monster by basically consumes palismen's blood is quite similar to how the inhabitants of Yharnam become beasts by consuming old blood.

In Bloodborne the more old blood a person consumes, the more powerful their beast form becomes becoming cleric beasts, beasts stronger than common beasts and Belos consumed palismen blood besides carving glyphs on his body and the magic that the Collector taught him, making him quite powerful.

The difference is that while the beasts in Bloodborne cannot return to their human form, Belos can, but he needs to have enough magic to maintain that form.
