In the plot of the recent One Piece manga, the tragic fate of Big Bear is gradually revealed. It must be admitted that his life was indeed full of suffering. From an early age, he was forced to become a slave to the Draconians along with his parents. However, after he managed to escape, his beloved Ginny was forcibly taken by the Draconians. After Ginny's death, in order to save Bonnie, Big Bear agreed to make a deal with Saturn, transforming himself into a technological weapon, and even as a mount for the Draconians. Such an experience undoubtedly made his fate more bumpy and deeply sympathetic.
Although Big Bear has been transformed into a technological weapon, he has not completely lost the possibility of returning to normal. In the future, it is possible for him to achieve "reincarnation in the dirty soil". In chapter 1100 of the manga, when Saturn makes a deal with the Great Bear, he mentions that he wants to transform the Great Bear into a weapon that gives up all self and thinking and the unconscious, that is, only the body of the Great Bear is kept.
Consciousness is an umbrella term for many things, including thinking, imagining, etc. Since the bear's meat ball can concretize memory, thinking, etc., does it mean that he can also concretize all of a person's consciousness?If Big Bear is able to convert consciousness into a ball of meat, then it is possible that he will return to his normal state in the future. By simply placing the ball of consciousness into the new body or the original body, the bear will be reborn in the dirt.
In the plot, Big Bear does behave like this, and Vegapunk's laboratory preserves Big Bear's "memory meat ball". Although this "memory meat ball" was ostensibly intended for experimentation with Vegapunk, it has been retained and must have had other functions. If Vegapunk not only preserves the bear's "memory", but also his "thinking", "imagination" and other things, then he must be preparing for the restoration of the bear.
However, this is only my personal speculation and analysis, and there is no clear statement in the work that the big bear can be restored. However, there must be a follow-up to Oda's handling of the big bear. In the current plot, Big Bear came from the base camp of the Revolutionary Army to the Holy Land of Mary Joy, and then left. He was most likely on his way to Future Island. If Big Bear's destination is really Future Island, then Vegapunk must have programmed something on him so that the future could restore him.
Personally, I very much hope that Big Bear will return to normal.
After all, he has already suffered too much, and it would be really cruel if Oda didn't give him a better ending. I'm sure the vast majority of people would like Oda to be nice to Okumus. I also hope that Oda can be a person, meet the readers' requests, and give Okuma a happy ending.
Finally, as for Vegapunk to preserve the memory of the Great Bear, I think it is likely that this is the back hand left by Vegapunk to restore the Great Bear. Welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
