Luffy didn't take a nap for plot reasons. It's because Luffy doesn't need a complicated excuse to help Nami. He doesn't need to hear a tragic backstory. He was just waiting for her to ask for help.
Luffy understood Nami on a deep level from the start. He knew that she was lying to herself and just waited for her to be honest.
@@Ascalon90-0 facts. Luffy is the most empathetic of them all.
Very important comment. He has 0 patience to bullshit.
That and Luffy doesn’t care about people’s pasts. He only cares about who they are in the moment.
…so for plot reasons.
On luffy, he's not smart, but he is insanely emotionally intelligent. And lucky.
"Lucky" 😅
His battle prowess and ability to read between the lines when it comes to others is fucking GODLY.
Yea
@@tikikeram850after watching film gold I think bro is hella lucky😂
@@pete-treedish4363 agree, but film Gold is non Canon. I love OnePiece Baron Omatsuri tho.
No Sanji actually smoke in the Anime too, but 4kids owned the copyright to One Piece's Anime for awhile. So they censor it to a lollipop. They censor a lot of things, not realizing how violence the show could be.
Also giving marines water guns😂😂😂
The crown achievement was turning a gun into a hammer on a spring thing
Yes indeed. That censoring was dumb
Whale to iceburg
@@wryguy5060 guess you never heard of the yu gi oh FINGER POINTING
We got him, boys! Baratie and Arlong Park are the moments someone goes from casually being like “Oh. One Piece is good” to “I think I get it now”. And it’s more emotional gut punches from here, Benny. Glad to have you aboard the crew!
He is on the crew, people! We have a new crew mate!
New Nakamaaaaa!
Facts, seeing Nami cry and Luffy putting his straw hat on her head was the moment I knew I was hooked
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!!!
Baratie was the arc that got me into one piece
Luffy choosing to take a nap is a narrative device to keep him out of the story but it's also showing his character. He's great a judging ppl for who they really are. So he didn't care to learn about her backstory because he already knew she needed his help but wasn't asking for it until she actually did. He was always set on helping her and wasn't gonna take no as an answer. That's why when she says "I thought I told u to leave" he just says "Yup". It's bkuz he knew all along she was worth fighting for and a great person whom he wanted as a crewmate. He's kind of dumb but he's extremely well adept w combat awareness. You'll see it more as u keep reading but it's very subtle for the most part
Someone from his friend circle has to explain it to him or he needs to read top comments because he completely missed the point of that plot line & completely misunderstanding luffy's character in my opinion.
This happens when we read very fast & just try to complete the story rather than understanding the nuances in the story. This happened to me in some Mangas which I read just to complete it.
But I agree that in East blue luffy was kept away from battles because he was just too strong.
It's nothing to do with a device to keep him out of the story. It was purely because he didn't need to hear namis backstory. It was showing his character
@sharpy122 it's both haha
it happens basically every arc under other circumstances
@@HeavenlyDemon. it does happen in a lot of arcs to take luffy out of the story, however not in arlong park. For starters hardly anything happens while luffy has that nap. No other major fights take place and the story doesn't advance at all while he's napping
The Sanji eating a lollipop was the 4 kids version they also have with a Brooklyn accent l…in the actual anime he does smoke
Indeed
I kinda like the Brooklyn accent " yo Nami"
"Around every 50 chapters when an arc wraps up"
Oh, you sweet summer child.
At that point we can forgive him he didn't know
The weight of the swords was meant to be symbolic. "Weight" is just a metaphor. Zoro is saying that his sword carries the "weight" of his dreams and aspirations. It represents his desire to fulfill the will of his deceased friend. While Hachi's swords carry no such weight and are just hunks of metal. That kind of thing matters ALOT in One Piece. Pay attention to stuff like that. Symbolism is key to understanding the narrative.
Which is ironic what you see later in series no spoilers
The U in Usopp is is pronounced with an oo. Kind of like saying the word spoon or oops. It's not the biggest deal though. Just remember to pay attention to the cover pages.
I'd love to know who told him it was "O"-sopp
@@ANIMEJESUS8 I want to know who told him that we don't call Mihawk Mihawk lmao
It's ew-sop
Best example of it would be.
The Witch Doctor.
The Sound is somewhat similar to what Ussop name is.
Its not that they say Ussop
Oo is similar
@@ViPxRampageXx i mean.. Tbh most ppl call him Hawkeye
I loved Luffy from the first chapter, but I can understand some might not. To give you a bit of insight without going into spoilers, Luffy is very perceptive and emotionally intelligent individual. On top of that, he's someone that doesn't care about your past, just who you are and what you are trying to be. So when Nojiko wanted to talk about Nami's past, he straight up said he didn't wanna hear it because that wouldn't have affected his opinion about her. He ain't thinking but he is listening and observing.
Luffy was also super overpowered for East Blue so his fights had to be drawn out with gimmicks or he would have 100% one punch kill everyone, it wasnt until Alabasta for me that i started to really like Luffy and i understood him more.
We might have to wait till the Drum Island Arc for him to start liking Luffy. Logue Town, Whiskey Peak, and Little Garden do not do Luffy any favors!
@R3cov3ry not true he still had his initial weakness to knives. He was just smart in using his powers.
People don't like luffy from start are reading one piece like any other battle manga but one piece is more about emotions especially in East blue. East blue build the interpersonal relations between the strawhats.
Ive been reading one piece since 2008 and I've never heard anybody refer to mihawk as anything except Mihawk lol
Same LOL, when he said his friends don't call him that I was like what do they call him then? Dracule?
Everyone I know just calls him Hawkeye
maybe hawk eye (Taka no Me)
FACTS
@@H4licarnassus yeah, what else would Perona call him /j
“ I’m not the kind of guy who hunts a rabbit with a cannon I’m sorry but this knife is the smallest blade I own”
To this day this is the most disrespectful line I have ever heard an antagonist say to a main cast member
Same here
and to think zoro has a inspired line in a future arc, just peak. "Have you ever met a animal..." line if anyone wondering.
@@TyRendition
I remember that. God, that is awesome…
Correct translation is 'I am no beast that goes all out whilst hunting a rabbit, alas this is the smallest blade in my possession' Mihawk speaks pretty fancy, guess it makes sense with his Dracula inspiration.
U could say Midara but he was just spittin
The only reason luffy did not help NAMI at the start is simply because she didn't ask for help . The moment she did. He acted and destroyed arlong . And at that moment . I've become a one piece fan
Yeah that scene put me into tears. If what I'm watching or reading can affect me that much emotionally, it gets a permanent spot in my top list. Since MHA came out, One Piece has taken second place, but it's still damn near close to first.
21:35 besides the “Help Me” scene, my favorite scene in this arc is when the villagers are like “why would theses strangers risk their lives for us?” Only for the bounty Hunter boys to be like “Big Sis Nami was crying, what more of a reason do men need to put their lives on the line?”
such a chad moment in One Piece.
I'm so excited for him to get to..
" Nothing happened "
"I want to Live"
Saboady!!
"I still have my friends "
" I can't be afraid of a mere YONKO if I'm gonna be in the crew of the future PIRATE KING!! "
*Luffy n Bon-chan meetup in impel down*
Okay so yes, during the fight with Arlong, Luffy is taken out for plot convenience, however the other cases you mentioned are not that way.
Luffy is very good at reading people. He tends to know what he needs to do for a person, and at that moment there was nothing he could for Nami, not until she asked for his help. Then, and only then, could he fight for her. That is why he took a nap because he couldn't help her yet, but he also refused to leave her.
Then later, he took a walk because he doesn't care about her past. He only cares about who she is right now. It was irrelevant in his eyes.
Luffy getting a wanted poster is important because it represents the start of his Pirate career. It's a sign that he's finally "made it" in that he's officially seen and recognized as a Pirate by the world at large.
That Zoro injury from Mihawk was legit. I was happy he wasn't healed by the time they got to the next place Love watching you on your journey
Luffy is an extremely skilled idiot to put it simply. But he's amazing at reading people. It's rare to see someone not warming up to him but it's fine you'll understand the point of the early tropes soon enough.
Indeed
He is actually insane when it comes to reading others. It's kind of jarring because they make him silly for early tropes but then he snaps right into serious roles and reading people. Knowing exactly how to help them sometimes subtly and other times harshly. It's what made me enjoy him as a character.
@@LuxuFoo
Same here
@@LuxuFoo it's just that the monster trio was too OP for early One Piece villains so Oda kept on giving them handicaps of some kind. He'll understand it when we face serious guys
@@Ghost.Nappa56
Yes indeed
The weight in the sword moment between hachi and Zoro was a reference to their resolve, which is why Zoro said his was heavier. Keep in mind this was right after the battle with the true best swordsman in the world; that timing is no coincidence.
Usopp is the biggest coward in the world unless he's fighting for others. Watching his character develop has been such a privilege
I know, right? Seeing Usopp’s character development has been great!😊
He shows up on the roof when the villagers were threatened. He was scared and did it anyway
@@Nastyn1nja808
Indeed. Usopp proves to us all that courage is not the absence of fear. It’s standing up in spite of it.
to this day he remains my least favorite Straw Hat, he has his moments, but they really are sparce, that being said that's not why i am not a fan of his, that can not be divulged here.
Luffy whole deal is that he believes that he is going to be the king of the pirates so thoroughly no matter the situation or who he's up against he has absolute confidence that he will become king of the Pirates no matter if he loses or not. I believe you will start to like him more the further you get into it
Same here
Prob around drum when he starts to mature
It's not really that he believes it so much that he has absolute confidence, it's more that he will do it or die trying because that's his dream and it's worth risking his life. Yes he believes he'll be able to do it but I wouldn't say he has absolute confidence in every single situation. At least not later on.
@@francolepetic7332
That’s fair
You hit the nail on Zoro! He’s often described as a classic shonen badass character stuck in a looney toons comic.
A VERY recent moment has him commenting on this with Luffy, actually. 😅
@@adamcarlson2192 do you mean this week’s chapter?
Luffy is a great guy, he does not need to hear the backstory to judge a person. He knows nami is a good person and he respects her decision to not get the straw hats involved and only acts when nami acts for help
Sanji does smoke in the anime too. It is just the 4kid dub that changed the fact that Sanji has lollipops instead of cigarettes. You should look at some of the 4kids changes they did in the anime. It is crazy with some of the stuff they censored for 4kids.
It's not O-sopp. It's not Yu- sopp. It's just U-sopp. (ooo-sopp)
Don't worry all new readers make a couple of pronunciations mistakes. But you're close, I believe in you!
Indeed
No it's oo sop like oops
@@shayed_6668
Yup
The Baratie arc was also about dreams and the spirit necessary to chase them. Which is why Mihawk vs Zoro is one of the most important fights for establishing this idea. It's also defining moment for Zoro's character. The man literally had not only his dream but his confidence and everything he believed about himself completely shattered but in stead of giving up this man finds the spirit to commit even harder to fighting for his dream. It's because of this spirit that Mihawk officially recognizes him as strong when he had previously dismissed him. Because the point was that even if you fail you need to spirit to put yourself back together when you are crushed. And no amount of equipment or special weapons is going to help you with that. Spirit and willpower are incredibly important in One Piece. Take note of that.
Zoro didn't claim to be the greatest swordsman, he stated it was his ambition.
re-living One Piece through this series has been fantastic so far. I cannot wait for more episodes.
As far as disliking Luffy. I 100% understand. Thats how i felt in the beginning. But now? I would follow him even to Hell. Luffy is one of the best MCs put to paper.
He is so simple that he ends up being kinda complex, after 1070 chapters i can predict a lot of thing he will do or say in a chapter, but from time to time he still surprises me. I almost cried during a chapter a few months ago at a panel where Luffy is smiling, not gonna say anything else to not spoil anyone
I liked Luffy from the beginning. I couldn't imagine reading the manga and disliking Luffy lol.
I also couldn't imagine continuing to read if I didn't enjoy One Piece from chapter 1 (some people apparently don't like it till Arlong).
the reason luffy just took a nap in the arlong park arc isnt because his the goku
its supposed to show that without knowing nami backstory at all he knows shes in pain and so no matter how many times she tells him to go away hill wait until she asks for help because he knows she needs it
One moment that goes over a lot of people's heads in arlong park is when arlong has Zoro by the neck and sees his wounds from mihawk. Arlong recognizes immediately that Zoro was able to mess up one of his strongest crew members while nearly torn in half.
Arlong realizes in that instant that differences between fishmen and han aren't so clear cut as he stares down a man who, even if he were a fishman should basically be dead, and recognizes Zoro as a threat not only to his success but also his worldview because of it.
"I need to kill this man, right here. Right now."
15:10 Ok, this is the thing with Nami, Nojiko and Bellemere. Bellemere was not a mercenary, she was a Navy officer. She was fighting on some war and the Navy, or at least her squad, was utterly defeated. She was about to die when she spots a toddler Nojiko carrying around a baby Nami among the corpses. That's a flashback you get within the flashback, that why the ages are inconsistent. Bellemere asks Nojiko about their parents, but hers died during the war, and she doesn't even know who Nami is, she just found a baby on its own in the aftermath of a battle. Bellemere decides it's not her time to die, pushes through her injuries, and returns to her town, Cocoyashi Village, where the present action takes place, with Nojiko and Nami, factually (but not legally) adopting them and defecting the Navy. This is when the thing with the pinwheel happens as well.
Then, when Nami and Nojiko are around 8-10, you see they are fucking poor, every single one of Nami's clothes is a hand-me-down from Nojiko, Bellemere only eats tangerines from their field, because she cannot afford food for all 3 of them, and Nami steals books on cartography because she wants to draw a world map. Little Nami gets angry because she wants money and throws a tantrum, which ends in "You are not my real mom" that leads to Bellemere to losing it and slamming Nami, who runs away. Nojiko goes after her, and this is the moment where the Arlong Pirates make their appearance. They arrive, take over the island, and demand 100,000 berries from every adult and 50,000 for every children monthly. Those who can't pay will die, or as they said in the 4Kids dub "If you can't pay the cash, you are out with the trash." Everyone in town knows Bellemere is poor and won't be able to produce 200,000 berries, so first they hope the fishmen will not notice her house, as it is removed from the village, but they see the smoke of Bellemere's cooking (making Nami's favourite meal as an apology).
They have Genzo lead them to the house. In the meantime, the village doctor manages to find Nami and Nojiko, and keeps them hidden in the woods, the plan is that, since Bellemere didn't legally adopt her, there are no documents of Nami and Nojiko even existing, they are going to put the girls on a boat and send them away, and no matter what happens to Bellemere, they'll live on. When Genzo and Arlong arrive to Bellemere's house, Genzo lies that the 3 plates are because him and the doctor were invited for lunch. Bellemere can produce 100,000 berries, which makes everything tie up perfectly in Genzo's head: She can pay for herself, and the girls are being sent away, nobody dies. But Bellemere says "fuck you fish-boy, the money is not for me, it's for my daughters, who I won't ever deny, even if it costs me my life" and gets shot in the face as a result.
At that point the girls have already revealed themselves, and the pirates found a map of the island drawn by Nami, so they take Nami away, and offer her a deal: "You will draw maps for us, detailing sea currents, and shit, and you will be provided with everything you need and pay you." Nami replied that she wanted the village to be set free, and Arlong agreed to sell it to her. They tattooed the mark on her, and she went back, pretending she was doing it only for the cash and things they were giving to her, which pissed everyone off. Soon they got to know about the deal she had made (probably the first time Nojiko saw her burying money in the tangerine field), but pretended they didn't, so that, if Nami ever decided she was sick of it, she could run away not knowing everyone had their hopes put on her.
That's basically what you need to get out of the flashback
Luffy taking a nap was him realizing Nami has something she needs to do and him understanding he needs to stay out of it until she asks for his help. It’s insane how emotionally aware luffy is written throughout this series. Trust me luffy will be one of your favorite characters in all of media. He’s amazing.
Luffy is very simple minded, but he’s perceptive and emotionally intelligent. He doesn’t worry about the past and worries more about who people are in the present. He’s not just some goofy guy 100% of the time, when he’s serious he is serious.
Another thing that might help you understand Luffy: Oda said that Luffy is meant to be a Man of Action. Meaning that you largely interpret him through his actions. Thats why Luffy doesn't have any thought bubbles. Because if Luffy wanted to do something he wouldn't think it. He would have already done it. Or said it. So remember to watch his actions. Thats how you understand his character.
Oh I cant wait to follow this readthrough. The best moments are always those where people realize One Piece isnt just superficial adventure comedy but can also be incredibly emotional, deep and dark at times.
Luffy's character arc is so long and beautiful he seems like a weirdo until he slowly shows who he is and what he's about. Luffy is both and idiot/lucky. Everyone else is very transparent and easy to love Luffy will break your heart when you realize who he is and who he's not, by the time you reach marineford you'll be broken. He's not Goku or Naruto it's so amazing.
Also he learns how to be a capitan and a leader thanks to certain girl who we all love but more we love her duck.
So in the Orange Town arc with Buggy, when Luffy first meets Nami she tells him the only things she likes are Tangerines and money. Which we come to find here are because of Bellemere’s Tangerine farm and the debt she’s trying to pay Arlong. 12:22
Man, I love hearing people that are just getting into one piece talk about it.
Keep it going, as the meme says “We will be waiting for you at Wano”
It is exceptionally rare to see Zoro fight at full tilt with no injuries, he's usually either half dead or mopping the floor with his opponent
I cannot express the immense joy I'm getting from seeing him cover One Piece. I hope he reaches Land of Wano eventually
Not sure if you noticed this, but the whole thing with Mihawk is that Zoro's dream is to be the greatest swordsman in the world, but Mihawk actually IS the greatest swordsman. So the reason Zoro was so adamant on fighting him alone is because Mihawk is now the end goal for Zoro. If Zoro is ever able to beat Mihawk, he will have accomplished his dream. Hope this helps clear things up!
Dude, I been subscribed to Comicstorian for some years and I have to say.... I'm so excited for you. You are in for a hell of a ride. I use to imagine you and Comics Explained talking about One Piece and I feel like I'm 1 step closer to get that.
One Piece is gonna hit you HARD I’ve been watching your channel for yearsssssss now and from what you cover and like this series is going to BLOW YOU AWAY.. this is going to grab you and never let you go
Boom, the small details are the WHOLE game. There's a lot of One Piece that's just plain text and a LOT of fan stuff that's meta - both very good. But for me personally, what blows my mind is how much care and thought is put in ( in a weekly series!! ) from the very beginning that all wraps up. I said it last vid but those are the moments for me when it all becomes bigger than the whole of its parts.
Keep up the great content - excited to see all the new manga content and one piece drops, personally excited to see you reach some of my favorite arcs and to see what you think.
P.S. I find your character journey so spot on to so many of my friends and I - we all read a ton of manga & comics + consume a lot of media, what I think One Piece does so well is subvert even subtly the " language " of expectations you build up as a nerd and long time reader. Usopp here is a good example but Luffy helping Nami despite her initial pushback but not giving in until she's ready to add and receive help, add to that the detail that he doesn't know her backstory because he was napping but is here for it full force anyway because that's his friend and crewmate. We might likely expect a protag or hero to " convince " someone they need the help, to argue or talk it out to come around to their friends but no - same as Luffy did with Koby in the very beginning, he will not help unless you ask for it. Unlike Deku ( and I love MHA ) who has classic hero code of " step in when not asked ", Luffy does not interfere unless asked. Think what you will of that choice from a moral or character perspective but even ~90 chapters in we have a through thread, each crew member has things like that and over time even without thinking you just learn who they are as people. I have a Zoro comment but I'll save it until the first BIG arc because it's too meta for now but I love this so far, looking forward to more!
I’m so glad u picked up this series! I also love ur mispronunciations of things. It gives it more character
Freedom, Family, and Dreams are among the most important themes in One Piece. Remember that.
You gotta learn to like Luffy sooner or later because Luffy IS One Piece. He represents everything the story is about and is basically what makes One Piece great. Without Luffy One Piece doesn't work.
That's the great thing about one peice to me theres so many great characters to like but it gets to the point we get this like loyalty to luffy so that when he moves we feel moved lol
It’s a shame that Oda went against the whole point of One Piece with the use of Tama’s powers.
@@shad3115 There are so many things wrong with Wano. Please dont get me started.
My wife and I got excited that you got another one piece video 😂😂😂 nice man. Commenting before watching.
You're right about Zoro. Idk if someone has said this, already, but "Usopp" is "oo" as in "toon."
Barati(e) has one more syllable like "aye."
Nami was my favorite character at the beginning. I loved her and still do. She's a bad bitch, fr.
The walk to Arlong Park is still, after all these years, one of my favourite scenes from One Piece. EVER.
Personally, I'm partial to the rooftop walk at Enies Lobby, but the Arlong Park walk is fantastic as well.
That specific Ronin Warriors experience? By 27:57 -- I'm twirling hair, batting eyelashes, wondering if you're married, then actively realizing this humor can come across flat & unhinged. So... entertaining video!
The power's in the armor.
Also, Sutaadasuto Aizu (Stardust Eyes) is an amazing theme. One of the first instances I had, trying the subtitled version of something I already saw the English dub for -- it reinforced the idea that I ought to at least try to view things in their original form.
About Luffy being like Goku: In case you didn't know, Dragon Ball is pretty much the grandfather of all classic modern shonen
(shonen = manga for teenage boys). You'll find tons of "Goku-like" main-character in this genre simply because the authors of these mangas grew up reading or watching DB and took inspiration from it. Oda is no exception.
In fact many consider what we called "The Big Three" of manga (One Piece, Naruto and Bleach) the direct successors of DB.
True but I think when mangastorian goes deeper into the story I think he'll find luffy being a way more complex goku.
you never watched bleach I am assuming
because while naruto and one piece are directly stated and very obviously take inspiration from dragon ball
bleach clearly doesnt
outside of kubo saying he liked dragon ball
there is no connection between bleach and dragon ball
@@adam-dn3hi I would disagree. It's not obvious of course and I'm not saying all modern shonen are straight up copycat of DB.
However, DB established and popularized tropes we can find in most modern shonen and that includes Bleach: the power up through transformation, the inner demon (Oozaru for DB, Ichigo's Hollow for Bleach), the eternal rival (Uryu, Renji or Grimjow depending on who you ask), the training phase, the mystical aura and power-level (the Ki for DB, the spiritual pressure for Bleach), the super-strong old man, and of course the annoying love-interest (I'm kidding, I'm kidding 😁)
All of this to say: yes, Bleach's tone is definitely more mature than most shonen, but saying it has absolutely no connection with DB is denying the facts in my opinion. I don't think Kubo consciously took inspiration from DB to create Bleach, but DB definitely had an impact on him and consequently his work.
@@colibri224 the problom with that is that all of this can be found in literaly other shounens around the time of dragon ball or before it
which we know bleach DID take inspiration from(except for the second thing you mentioned which is just unrelated to dragon ball)
"power up through transformation" like in saint seiya
something bleach is stated to be inspired by
"inner demon" the oozaru isnt an inner demon its a state of rampage
it posses no inner struggle because its just goku going big monkey
while going rampage through anger is very much a thing in shounen anime
it has nothing to do with the inner demon in bleach
"the eternal rival" goku never had an eternal rival(he had some occasional rivals tho)
vegeta was a villain for the saiyan and frieza sagas(being barely an ally in the frieza saga)
in the android and cell saga goku had a rivalry with CELL instead of vegeta
and in the buu saga vegeta wanted to fight goku it got delayed and than he returns into being a villain again
he wasnt a rival of goku until dragon ball super
having an eternal rival character(if we even consider that a troupe) at best came from naruto(atleast as far as i know)
and in bleach ichigo doesnt have any rivals its just friends and former enemies who are now friends
"the training phase"
you mean a training arc or just training in general?
either way dragon ball didnt really have any training arcs they kinda just nonstop training
"the super-strong old man"
thats more of a culture thing
the super strong old mentor is the troupe one but it doesnt appear in bleach
" but saying it has absolutely no connection with DB is denying the facts in my opinion."
there are no facts to be denying
it simply doesnt have a line of connection to it that can be drawn without it being cut by another fact
ya luffy does go mia a lot when they need him. but the thing with him sleeping after seeing nami is cus he doesnt want to stick his nose in something unless asked to
Benny is not ready for One Piece. This series is such a trip, sometimes I have to remind myself that its written by one dude WEEKLY.
100% need a weekly update of your journey with one piece!!!
The thing about Luffy is that he's someone who would let his actions speak for itself. He doesn't care about a person's past and only care about how he personally gets to know someone and is the type of person that only helps when someone asks.
- It is U-ssop not Yu-ssop nor Ow-ssop, you've got it right the first time, i dunno who told you Ow-ssop
- we got you dude, we call him Mihawk too. Dracule "Hawk-eye" Mihawk, mihawk is first name.
- Mihawk is currently the world's strongest swordsman it said so in his introduction that is why zoro wants to challenge him. This is not a spoilers btw.
Love the vid! Glad to meet another nakama!
Having the correct music while reading certain scenes makes it so much more intense, and Instinct is perfect for the Arlong fight. It was meant to randomly happen 😁
There is a very specific scene during the Arlong arc, it's the 'Walk on Arlong Park' and the song 'Overtaken' they use, when it hits in the anime which it's used spargingly....shit is fucking going down. There's a ton of songs they reuse where you just go "HIT THE _____ OST!" and it really takes it to another level.
I think you missed the point of the Luffy going to sleep bit
He was there to help Nami. He didn't care about her story, to him, once you're his friend he's your ride or die. So once Nami asked him for help, he was like yup. I don't care why, but you're my friend, imma help you out.
The hat thing is one of my fav moments in the story
It's really funny because I was thinking when you said it Zero doesn't get hurt all the time and then I started thinking back to almost every ark and I'm like maybe does.
Sanji only eats lollipops in the 4KIDS version of the anime, but in the original anime he actually smokes.
Luffy is a true fighter for freedom and dreams.
He is simple minded and a doofus, but he is creative and understands people sometimes better than they do themselves.
This show is not just fighting, it's a very dramatic and sad story sometimes. Just aswell as the comedy.
With every new arc you will surprised with how many emotional and romantic beats this story hits, while having so many themes that you shouldn't think it works.
There is a reason why this is the most popular manga of all time. It's not just comedy and fights. This story has things for everyone and the whole crew is just a really stupid and lovable family that you watch deal with all these difficult themes.
While still being a goofy pirate story from time to time!
Luffy doesnt fight "for" freedom. Luffy IS freedom.
Bellemere found them in a postwar Marine battle, as the only survivors amongst the wreckage. She then took them with her back home to get treated and then adopted them.
Once again I can't believe we getting Booktubers and Comicstorian talking bout One Piece.
I'm excited to learn more about Nami's backstory. She and Nojiko are survivors of a war and Bellemere, a marine, adopted them and retired to Cocoyashi Village.
Arlong Park was when I knew this series was special. And it just keeps getting better
Belle Mere is French for beautiful mother. Bellemere was one hell of a beautiful mother.
The one moment from all of this that I remember best when watching the anime was Sanji's smile when he first tells Luffy about all blue. I have never, not ever, seen a smile so bright and warm as that.
I also loved how Luffy didn't kick Arlong's arse for any reason other than he made Nami cry. Didn't care about the backstory, it doesn't matter to him. His nakama was made to cry and asked for help, so that guy got his arse kicked. Luffy is the best.
It’s awesome that you’re starting One Piece, it’s my favorite fictional series of all time. But I gotta say, is actually astonishing how much of the context and subtext things that just went completely over your head, or how many plot beats you got entirely wrong.
So excited to hear your thoughts on this section!
Man all your friends are gaslighting you.
It is Me-hawk. Just like you thought.
Usopp is pronounced “oo” like food.
Not trying to be a jerk just trying to help out. Love the vids. Arlong Park is where I fell in love with the show.
Zoro gets hurt a lot in the east blue because he’s so strong that he just wrecks everyone.
I'm glad to hear you don't read comments to avoid spoilers!
My impression of conmenters is that many of them don't stop themselves from hinting at least a little at things. For example, they will try to explain to you how Luffy is likable, even though you would discover that later yourself
Thank you Benny for giving me the One Piece experience I've been too intimidated to consume.
My favorite part of the arlong arc is that luffy ignores Nami's tragic backstory and just willing to go that far for her because he sees her as a member of his crew
love these videos! Glag you're enjoying it :)
Benny kinda like our Nami he don't get it just yet but you wait damn it Benny you'll love our captain!
Luffy is simple-minded. To him, what's good is good, and vice versa. He don't need to think much.
23:20 Well, you have a clue there. Yes, he is just flailing the swords around, but as soon as Arlong bites them, he smashes his face breaking his teeth (and we get the reveal that as a shark he has lots of spare teeth), so there was intention behind him flailing the swords around
It's nice to see you once again!
Please, keep going :D
"We learn Sanji's backstoy". Oh my sweet summer child.
Okay: Usopp's name starts with the same sound as the "u" in "sue".
Something to keep in mind about pronouncing Japanese names and words written in English characters: every letter only has one sound. The vowel sounds are pronounced as follows: "A" as in "ah", "I" as in "eek", "U" as in "sue", "E" as in "hey", and "O" as in "oh". That order of vowels may seem weird to English speakers, but it's how Japanese is ordered. When you see two vowels next to each other, start by saying each one individually, then run them together. For example: "ai" becomes "ah-ee", becomes "eye". Another thing to keep in mind is that "U" sounds that are sandwiched directly between two consonants are often shortened so much as to effectively be silent ("Asuka" is closer to "Ahs'-kah" than "Ah-sue-kah"). If you keep all this in mind, the only thing that will really cause you to mispronounce words is stressing the wrong syllables.
The Lolipop thing happened on 4Kids and they changed ALOT. Only adapted 130 episodes and the last episodes implies the Strawhats are dead. There is an actual dub now that changes nothing and the sub is easily accessible aswell
Luffy can be goofy af... but he is the fucking goat for a reason. He will grow on you, trust us
I’ve never read or seen one piece. I’m truly enjoying this. Rock on!!
what Luffy is to me is basically what he said to Arlong this arc. He said he can't use swords, navigate, cook, or lie. and Arlong asked him what use is he, and he said I can kick your ass. Never looked back from him being my favorite character in OP.
I'm glad that I'm watching The crunchyroll version of One Piece because they still have sanji smoking instead of lollipops.
Luffy walks away when Nojiko tells the backstory. He didn't need any reasons other then Nami asking him.
Love the reviews so for, but 50 chapters and weekly might become I bit too much at some point with how dense some of the chapters get, so don’t feel bad it you have to take more time or put out videos covering fewer chapters. We just want you to have the best experience with One Piece as possible!
Just glad more enjoying the ride that is One Piece. Take your time and enjoy the story.
People have already pointed out that the lollipop thing was due to the 4Kids dub, but I wanted to also mention that Funimation has been dubbing the show for the last 15+ years, and they explicitly do NOT censor things and have overall treated the series well.
The wanted poster is significant because it puts him one step closer to becoming the Pirate King and to achieve his dream he needs to be the Pirate King
I love a new reader of one piece, I will watch every single video of these!! And something to keep in mind, Luffy follows his instincts and has incredible emotional intelligence. He knows what people need and wants and let’s them strive for it, but no he is not a smart man lol he’s just veeeerrrryyyy lucky and knows what he HAS to do
Welcome to the fandom I missed mangastorian
I love the 3 minute bleed out zoro thing and Luffy Goku parallels lol
Luffy vs Don Krieg is about answering the question: "What does it take to enter the Grand line?" each character has their own answer. It's Don Krieg's Metal vs Luffy's Mettle. The thematic conflict shows how sheer strength of spirit and grit will take you much farther than all the weapons in the world ever could. Which is why Krieg fails having his "unbreakable" armor shattered by Luffy's "spear of grit".
Ladies and gentlemen.... We got him.
"Every 50 chapters when an arc ends" oh you poor man 😂
One thing about the fights in One Piece, there's always an order to them, Luffy being the captain will ALWAYS be the last one to fight, while the rest of the crew get their fight done.
Zoro will always fight the 2nd in command of the enemy crew and Sanji the 3rd, while the rest end their fight randomly.
Best part of the video is the cat walking in the background
