One Piece fans have finally witnessed Joy Boy's debut in the latest One Piece chapter 1122. This moment created lots of excitement for fans who have been curious about him for some time now.
Joy Boy was only briefly mentioned, so readers were unsure of his identity and importance for a long time. In chapter 628 of the manga, Nico Robin discovered ancient writings that talked about Joy Boy's name for the very first time.
After this event, the Joy Boy started to show up many more times in subsequent chapters. However, there hasn't been much explanation about who he is yet, leaving fans more excited for Joy Boy's debut.
Trending
The most recent chapter of One Piece has shown Joy Boy's debut at last. This appearance not only clarifies Joy Boy's part in the story but also highlights why there is a big straw hat that has been confusing viewers for quite some time, which points to the fact that Joy Boy is a giant.
Many readers think this revelation is among the most significant one in the series till now because it contradicts many theories that fans have created over the years.

Joy Boy's debut in One Piece chapter 1122 thrills fans
In One Piece chapter 1122, fans have finally seen Joy Boy's debut in Emet's memory sequence for the first time. However, this desired character is only depicted as a silhouette figure. It looks like he is wearing a straw hat and has artificial wooden limbs - a leg and an arm. This special note caused some readers to question if Joy Boy could be the character with an eyepatch mentioned by Eiichiro Oda many years back.
The chapter discloses an unexpected fact about Joy Boy: his size. In contrast to Emet, Joy Boy seems quite tall - almost as big as the face of the giant robot. This could possibly clarify the presence of an extremely big straw hat that's concealed in Mariejois. Given Joy Boy's apparent size, this giant hat could very well belong to him.
Joy Boy's debut disproves a famous One Piece theory
In One Piece chapter 1115, fans get a hint of Joy Boy's appearance. A silhouette is shown and many readers believe that it's him. However, this shadow could just be an illustration made by Dr. Vegapunk and not the real image of Joyboy himself. The latest chapter, 1122, gives fans their first confirmed JoyBoy's debut at what he looks like. It also marks the first time we hear Joyboy speak in the series.
While Joy Boy only appears for a short moment in Emet's recollection, this brief interaction has given responses to several queries from fans concerning this enigmatic individual. At the same time, it has also invalidated some well-known theories about him. The most crucial disclosure is that Joyboy is not a Buccaneer. His body shape is similar to the main character Luffy, not the stocky build often found in Buccaneers.
Joy Boy's debut uncovers that he, as some individuals think, is not a Giant. He appears to be too short for Giants in the story. However, he does seem taller than what fans typically see in characters coming from One Piece.
Certainly, there may be some altered depictions of Joy Boy because of the drawing style. Yet, when we see Emet and Joy Boy in one image from far away, it provides a more accurate understanding of his genuine size next to Emet.
Final thoughts
Joy Boy's debut in One Piece chapter 1122 has put an end to some fan theories, disproving that Joy Boy is a Giant or a Buccaneer. The way he looks matches Luffy's body type more closely than the stocky form, which is usually linked with Buccaneers. Moreover, his height doesn't match up with how big Giants are in the story series.
This disclosure does not solely correct mistakes, it also changes the direction of some fan theories towards fresh ideas regarding Joy Boy's actual personality and part in this tale.
