Jay's emotional gears grinding as he simultaneously loves and hates the fact that he absolutely adores One Piece is the best thing to happen all week 😂
A thing alot of people miss about the "You're on your own now" line, the fact that Garp has been relentlessly chasing Luffy is the only thing preventing the rest of the Marines from going after him.
@J.Crime123 true! How he looks is important. Also, I really hope they put in the scene with the little girl with the ice cream. That scene honestly turned my opinion about him around and gave him a chance since then.
Same, I thought it was too long and not worth it then my favorite streamer started watching it and I gave it a chance, it was the best decision ever. I'm now a one piece fan
Love the emotional roller-coaster Jay went through. As a long time OP fan, there's something so beautiful and satisfying watching new people fall in love with One Piece, no matter the medium
I don’t think I have ever seen Jay look as childlike with glee as he did during this series and especially this episode. Meanwhile Adam looking like the proud papa or big brother 😂 I loved this ending song so much it was the top play in my Spotify Rewind with over 3000 plays 😂 think I fell asleep to it a few time so it played on repeat overnight
"I don't want to like One Piece but I do" is the usual statement someone makes as they lean over the edge of the One Piece abyss knowing they have no choice but to take the leap.
When Adam said, "gotta work on that brave part" and Jay said, "we'll get there...." I don't know why, but that absolutely wrecked me. I was a total stranger to One Piece, but, this live action series may be one of my all time favorite series. Thank you for your reactions!
I wish they could've squeezed in some Ussop greatness right before he shoots the alcohol, in the source material, he pretends to be dead and then rubs dirt on himself but he thinks about his new friends and about Setting out to be a Real Pirate so he bets his life and calls out to the Fishman. "They are able to smile from the Bottom of their Hearts! I want to be like That TOO!"
@@Nastyn1nja808 the best part is, how tells the lies to himself as if he is trying to convince himself but reminds himself how everyone gives their best and he just runs away. A great Moment where he stands up to his fears.
@@Phanthief95i mean he could be. The same way they shoehorned the Garp story into this i could imagine someone behind the scenes trying to force his way the same time. I highly doubt that there will be any Croc in season 2 except for maybe a teaser to season 3.
No mercy Percy shirt! Edit: It suddenly strikes me how the One Piece live action and the animated The Legend of Vox Machina are very similar in that they are great pieces of media that capture the core of their source material in a delightful way and are fantastic for getting people into a beloved series that a lot of people avoid because of the time commitment.
For decades, we One Piece fans have been trying to convince people to give the anime/manga a shot. Now that the live action has been done and a lot of people loved it feels good. But to set a perspective of what love you have and what you could have for the franchise. Is like biting a small piece of cake from a huge grand wedding cake.
One of the things about Taz Skyler as Sanji is that Adam is correct, this is the extremely toned down version of his womanizing lol. In the anime and manga he's absolutely constantly running around with heart eyes and a nosebleed, and subsequently gets ignored or bonked on the head. So the fact that he's genuinely suave and handsome here makes the strike outs way funnier IMO 😂
That last attack at Arlong Park never gets old, it's so damn good. And while I was confused at first about bringing Garp in so early in this version, I ultimately understand the reasoning and how they did it. Also, do not doubt the tattoo voodoo, it just is.
@MetalPharoah that fact could come very handy in the next season now that I think of it, with a Certain Someone who we meet but don't learn much about in-depth until later on.
@rebeckymo That just makes me think about how I really hope Tony looks good, I'm very very frightened and worried. I'd honestly love the English VA to voice him since it's an established character actor, unless they're getting a real person to make him what used to be called a 'face character' which was someone actually playing him with added FX.
It bears mentioning that the one guy that Usopp took out was one of Arlong’s top generals, stronger than most of the fodder Sanji and Zoro were taking out, with the possible exception of the Fishman Karate guy.
I was begging all season for the gum gum gattling.....mone of my all time favorite moves and moments in the anime. I can't remember when the battle axe happened exactly in the show but WHAT A FINISHER!!!! Can't wait for Smoker and the Starw Hats to clash!!!!
Every major villain in this season was taken down with the same finisher Luffy used to take them down in the manga/anime, so he used Battle Axe on Arlong at the climax of Arlong Park
With Jay already being so invested in Arlong needing to get beat up in the live action, he should really see the classic walk to Arlong Park and entrance from the anime, it's a timeless classic for the first big villain in the series that really needs to get taken out.
Congratulations! You just watched the prologue of One Piece! Trust me, it gets bigger from here, especially with what Season 2 will cover. Season 2 (if done right) will be when the series really hits its stride. For me, I’m hoping they announce castings around when filming starts in June. I need to know who will play the Demon Child!
Especially when they’re probably crazier than the East Blue 5. The Cotton Candy Lover, the Demon Child, the Cyborg, the Soul King, & the First Son of the Sea.
My favorite character is Usopp, the guy he defeated was one of the strongest Fishmen there and after pretending to die he seriously consider leaving the fight, but he comes back because he wouldn't be able to face his friends if he did. Fishmen are monsters with an incredible force, and so are Sanji, Zoro and Luffy. Everytime Usopp decides to fight those kind of monsters he is putting his life on the line. He is the more relatable character.
Some other reaction channels have watched just the anime episodes this live-action season covered. Which is an idea, about 45 episodes, but they are only 20ish minutes or so each. It's really not that much, and you'll really enjoy it. The major things that happen will still happen, but you will see differences which can be fun, and some of the things the show didn't have time to cover. Like Usopp's crew. Anyways, good luck fellas.
So, I had a friend tell me that One Piece was the greatest adventure story ever told, and I didn't believe him. The live action came out, I loved it and made the plunge to start the anime, and I've discovered that he wasn't exaggerating. One Piece is the greatest adventure story ever written, and it's got maybe one or two more years before it's done. Take the plunge! It's absolutely worth it!
The plot of what's coming in season 2 is gonna blow a lot of people's minds. They made a good job in this season to weave together a narrative and threat throughout the show leading to Arlong, when the original was a little more of a series of self-contained arcs (one per island). However they've already planted seeds for the next big saga in this season, and the main villain of the next arc is far more despicable than Arlong. And is till many people's favorites from the anime/manga
The stuff I'm expecting to see in Season 2 (and probably some of season 3? IDK depends how they work it) is some of my favorite stuff in the series, even after all these years. I'm eager to see how it gets adapted. We're gonna get some serious Dad Tears from Jay during a certain arc though, and I'm ready for them lol
As soon as Oda announced that Season 2 was confirmed, I was so happy. The biggest reason for it is because it means we will getting the Demon Child in live action, & I love her. I will be praying for whoever is cast as her.
You guys saying Usopp taking out Chu is one just point is like Gimli saying Legolas taking out an oliphant only counts as one. 😂 Chu was a lieutenant of Arlong's, meaning he's stronger than the rest of the fishmen. The other one is "Fishman Karate" Kurobi.
Coby being played by a trans man is so perfect imo, its now genuinely possible we get the coby glowup in the live action through the POWER OF TESTOSTEROOOOONE
This has been such a fun reaction series to follow. Always great to see someone fall for the series as hard as I did. If you do end up watching the anime on your own time, please periodically report back to us on how that journey goes?
What it would take to get you guys to watch the anime? 1000 episodes? Yeah, whatever. That's called reliable content. Reacting sounds like it's an easy gig, but you have to rely on quality content being produced that is currently relevant enough to ensure views, or already aired content that has an enduring fanbase to bring in views One piece has both; it's going strong at almost 30 years old and almost 1110 chapters, and it's fanbase is only growing. If you watch 2 a week you still have more than 5 years worth of content you generally just don't have to worry about. Commit to watching up to where the live action leaves off (about 45 episodes I think) and if you're into it then you keep watching
No recognition for Smoker? v_v I can't wait to see him in live action. One of my favorite characters in the whole manga/show. It was a great first season, I was really surprised, but they nailed it.
you gotta love it - when you hesitantly get into something and some ways down the line you have the realization... "oh no... I like this! I like it a lot, shit!"
When this dropped, there was a chapter or two that dropped in the manga that literally paralleled Garps story. I was in shock that the live action wrote it into the show without even knowing from Oda himself that it was going to be brought up in the manga.
they cut a lot of the context around ussop's arlong park fight (understandably for time) but I do feel like the context is a bit lost that though he just takes out the one guy, that guy was one of arlong's lieutenants - similar to Kuroobi, the fishman karate martial artist guy that sanji and zoro team up on in this - so he's meant to be tougher than the regular fodder getting knocked out left and right
Shoutout to Adam.. when Jay's like "It's a bunch of people following their dreams.. and their dreams happen to be pirate related.." and Adam, quietly just goes "Yarrrr" THOUGHT WE WOULDN'T NOTICE!!.. But, we did 👏
I hope you'll wait until the reanimated Version of One Piece comes out and maybe cover that on your Channel... (The Show is called "the One Piece" and is currently in production by studio Witt, and will also be released in Netflix!)
2:30 I think they made Nezumi stupid looking on purpose. In the anime sure he's a scumbag but despite the whiskers and the nobs on his jacket hood he doesn't look stupid he looks like scum. Well played costume crew. They hated him that much that they made him look dumber than his anime/manga counterparts. 👏👏👏👏👏
14:00 This series came out RIGHT when Oda addressed this idea, and I love that. When it's the younger generation to take over the old. 7:04 JOKER LAUGH??? I'm honestly confused. Have you guys started watching the anime or not? Cause if you haven't, then I'll shut up. Please tell? 16:53 I know 😉 and you guys saw him in episode 1 of this live-action show 18:10 ONE OF US JAY ONE OF US 😂😁🍈👒
Aw, ya'll cut "Gum Gum Gatling"! Ah, well. Glad you guys liked this! Can't wait to see how you like Season 2 whenever it drops! Oh, and for clarfication, they were partying at Coco Village for 3 days before they left, so I'd say they had time for some cosmetic changes!

One of my favourite little things is the contrast between Luffy and the other pirates reactions to their bounty posters. Everyone apart from Luffy and Gol D Roger are dismissive of their posters and always destroy them. Roger can't interact with his cause he is cuffed but his expression is indifferent like the bounty is nothing special. Which is amazing. The other pirates don't care either but they all destroy their posters. Luffy treats his almost like its his hat. He's so happy he has it and thats amazing. I can't wait to see when the other crew get bounties and how they react x
Usopp took down a powerful foe. If he hadn't lured that guy off I don't see how Zoro or Sanji were going to pull off any victory with a living maxim gun constantly firing at them.
Im sure its already been asked but even if you dont react to the anime, (at least watch it in your own time, at your own pace, and tbh, thats the best way to take it in) maybe consider reacting to all the openings. The sheer girth of the series is so immense you'll mostly forget all the visuals by the time you get to said parts in the anime. Also, a bunch of the earlier openings dont give away much of the plot, probably up to opening 8-ish. They start to play with adding in plot snippets in the openings around there, but definitely 12/13 is when they start the typical anime opening that spoils a bit sorta scenario. Also it'd be such a joy to see Jay react to all the wacky shit the crew gets up to.
On the tat. Being that this isn't Earth and they have so many different types of fruits maybe her tat was done in a fruit based dye and there are other chemicals to use to go in with a needle full to disolve it.
So you don't get overwhelmed I'd suggest maybe taking in some of the movies. They're usually stand alone so you don't need to have watched the whole series to understand them.
I was lowkey pissed off that they posted 20 episodes of other random stuff before posting the finale of One Piece. LMAO I'm just happy this is here now. Love you guys again!❤🔥 My boyfriend also says hi, he's obsessed with your content.
They going start filming at the end June for season 2 there is a picture at the studio with 2 Merry ships I seen in the last few days I thing might be on Instagram or x I can't remember. I also will love One Piece when it out sold Spiderman and Batman.
Excellent shirt choice Adam. Cause this episode delivered some Vengeance. Oh! on a Vengeance related note, the Oscar winning film Godzilla: Minus One is coming to Blu-Ray/4K this May in Japan. So the US release won't be that far behind. If niether of you have seen it, I cannot recommend 2023's best movie enough.
I love how much Jay hates Arlong, cause oh boy... god willing this show reaches Sabaody. Jay is gonna hate every villain per arc... he'd honestly probably hate Absalom more than Moria, but still, every BBEG is just gonnna grind his gears
There are so many characters that I can’t wait to see in live action. One, in particular, I think will be Jay’s favorite. Other OP Peaches will know who I’m talking about. 😋
Even if you aren't going to do the One Piece anime on the channel, maybe give a fan video called 'The Breathtaking World of One Piece' a watch. It doesn't have any notable story spoilers; it is just all sorts of vistas of the One Piece world as the story progresses. You'll have your mind blown.
Don't blame Jay for being scared of watching the one piece anime but trust me when I say that if this live action was able to get you in the feels you aren't ready for the anime or at the very least the Manga as it gets even more better that'll get you hard and unexpected in both humor and sadness. I highly recommend watching the anime or reading the Manga as they both have pros and cons . If you can skip most of the fillers (I think there's like maybe 100 last time I checked but can be wrong out of around 1100 eps) but being able to witness the way the voice actors brings the characters to life in the anime along with the way the music comes in at key moments like in back stories and as a nice bonus watching the way the animation has changed throughout these last 25 years as it gets better the more you watch the anime than give the anime a try and I'm sure there are people that if you ask the community can give you an idea on what eps you can skip called "one pace" . If you don't wanna watch the anime but just wanna focus on a more streamline story and witness the creativity of Oda's art style then the Manga would be great for that option. Either way hope Jay or you both do give it a chance even if you don't do a reaction that's perfectly fine with me cause it's that worth it . Also don't feel like you have to do either and you rather stay on the live action only that's completely good too , the important thing is you guys are having fun with the characters and story............... one piece at a time XD sorry not sorry teehee.
Yeah, before watching this I had minimal knowledge about one piece. Now I have watched a bunch of the anime, have merch from it, and am following along with the current manga. So I think this series did its job well. 😂
I find it interesting that they said “every creature has a weakness”….when they didn’t find a weakness. This line would’ve worked better when they get to Alabasta.
@@second1387 But those aren’t *combat* weaknesses. Tactical weaknesses, sure, but not combat. Unlike Crocodile, who has the combat weakness of being vulnerable to water attacks.
@@Hawkcam1996 well that's still a weakness though. Luffy mentioned that he won't hesitate when he finds his weakness. That's why when he found out that he can destroy the maps that contained Arlong's ambition knowing Arlong won't have it back without Nami, he did not hesitate to do it.
@@second1387 But again, that’s not a combat weakness. That doesn’t help him win the fight. That’s why there was never any mention of a weakness in the original version. Because destroying the maps had nothing to do with a weakness, it was for *Nami’s* emotional benefit, not for the sake of defeating Arlong. Defeating Arlong is just something that ended up happening as a result of destroying the entire building in the process of destroying the maps. That’s why I think the creators of the live action version misunderstood the significance of Luffy destroying the maps. Just like they didn’t understand the significance of the villagers knowing about Nami’s deal with Arlong all along. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the live action version is bad in any way whatsoever. I absolutely loved it. I’m just saying that some of the writing could’ve been better. That weakness line just feels so out of place because it doesn’t belong in dialogue that refers to defeating Arlong. Luffy never needed a weakness to defeat Arlong, he just needed the proper motivation. Just like in the Water 7 Saga, he lost his first fight against Rob Lucci because he didn’t yet have the right motivation until he learned the truth about why Robin betrayed them. It should be the same here. They did take heavy inspiration from the Water 7 Saga in this after all, so why not use that motivation factor here as well?
@@Hawkcam1996 well I do kinda agree with you because I prefer the original version rather than the LA (Because the reason Luffy wanted to destroy the maps is more focused to free Nami rather than defeating Arlong which I think the opposite happened in the LA). But I think the LA just wanted to show that the weakness of Arlong allowed Luffy to defeat him not physically but rather mentally because Arlong always thought that his species were perfect. That's why from the realization of, "You'd be nothing without her.", Arlong's pride was shattered and even got more shattered when Luffy started destroying the maps. So it's like seeing all his hardwork, thoughts and ambition be gone before the moment he himself got destroyed. So for instance, Luffy defeated Arlong mentally before physically and that's a satisfying factor for the audience especially newcomers because that's a karma for what Arlong did the same thing with Nami (Arlong also defeated her mentally). Also considering the fact that this version of Luffy is kinda weaker than his original counterpart, this is a blast for the audience especially the newcomers seeing Arlong enraged. Although the Gum Gum Gatling and Battle Axe came from nowhere, that just added the hype when seeing Arlong got destroyed along with all of his works. So in conclusion, I think Luffy can really beat Arlong with that Gum Gum Gatling and Battle Axe all along but that 'weakness' of Arlong allowed him to have a meltdown and be defeated mentally or even emotionally as well
Jay's emotional gears grinding as he simultaneously loves and hates the fact that he absolutely adores One Piece is the best thing to happen all week 😂

You guys saying Usopp taking out Chu is one just point is like Gimli saying Legolas taking out an oliphant only counts as one. 😂 Chu was a lieutenant of Arlong's, meaning he's stronger than the rest of the fishmen. The other one is "Fishman Karate" Kurobi.
It's incredible how this weird ass show worked and was a huge success I still not believe it hahaha and I love it too
Thanks Guys!!!
Great reaction as always pReview'd!
The guy burning Luffy's wanted poster at the end was Smoker. :D
That final shot, was of someone who just so happens to be one of my favorite antagonists of the entire anime.
I love Jay's emotional reactions, especially to this show. All the Peaches need to hug him! ❤️🍑
god dang finally you aholes. been waiting just a few months for this. Love you guys!
coby's actor is a trans guy, thats amazing btw. Also it go by so easy, but they implied that shanks is at mihawk's power level
Coby being played by a trans man is so perfect imo, its now genuinely possible we get the coby glowup in the live action through the POWER OF TESTOSTEROOOOONE
Final episode reaction, HYPE! Hope they do the anime, tbh. (or maybe the new version that's coming soon, "The One Piece"? 👀)
It was easy to forget that Luffy is actually physically ridiculously strong. Then he took down an entire building.
This has been such a fun reaction series to follow. Always great to see someone fall for the series as hard as I did.
If you do end up watching the anime on your own time, please periodically report back to us on how that journey goes?
What it would take to get you guys to watch the anime?
1000 episodes? Yeah, whatever. That's called reliable content. Reacting sounds like it's an easy gig, but you have to rely on quality content being produced that is currently relevant enough to ensure views, or already aired content that has an enduring fanbase to bring in views
One piece has both; it's going strong at almost 30 years old and almost 1110 chapters, and it's fanbase is only growing. If you watch 2 a week you still have more than 5 years worth of content you generally just don't have to worry about. Commit to watching up to where the live action leaves off (about 45 episodes I think) and if you're into it then you keep watching
No recognition for Smoker? v_v I can't wait to see him in live action. One of my favorite characters in the whole manga/show. It was a great first season, I was really surprised, but they nailed it.
you gotta love it - when you hesitantly get into something and some ways down the line you have the realization... "oh no... I like this! I like it a lot, shit!"
When this dropped, there was a chapter or two that dropped in the manga that literally paralleled Garps story. I was in shock that the live action wrote it into the show without even knowing from Oda himself that it was going to be brought up in the manga.
they cut a lot of the context around ussop's arlong park fight (understandably for time) but I do feel like the context is a bit lost that though he just takes out the one guy, that guy was one of arlong's lieutenants - similar to Kuroobi, the fishman karate martial artist guy that sanji and zoro team up on in this - so he's meant to be tougher than the regular fodder getting knocked out left and right
19:45 goddamm right, that's the core theme of one piece, watching people realizing that and resonate with it never gets old
For the tease at the end, all you need to know, he's the coolest.
That is all.
Should celebrate and go to Red Lobster and order the Arlong special.... lol
Luffy fell jumping down those stairs at the end.
Thank you, guys!!!!!
Shoutout to Adam.. when Jay's like "It's a bunch of people following their dreams.. and their dreams happen to be pirate related.." and Adam, quietly just goes "Yarrrr"
THOUGHT WE WOULDN'T NOTICE!!.. But, we did 👏
I hope you'll wait until the reanimated Version of One Piece comes out and maybe cover that on your Channel...
(The Show is called "the One Piece" and is currently in production by studio Witt, and will also be released in Netflix!)
2:30 I think they made Nezumi stupid looking on purpose. In the anime sure he's a scumbag but despite the whiskers and the nobs on his jacket hood he doesn't look stupid he looks like scum.
Well played costume crew. They hated him that much that they made him look dumber than his anime/manga counterparts. 👏👏👏👏👏
Whoever that was, they were smoking TWO cigars. You know things are serious when we're doubling up on the cancer.
14:00 This series came out RIGHT when Oda addressed this idea, and I love that. When it's the younger generation to take over the old.
7:04 JOKER LAUGH???
I'm honestly confused. Have you guys started watching the anime or not? Cause if you haven't, then I'll shut up. Please tell?
16:53 I know 😉 and you guys saw him in episode 1 of this live-action show
18:10 ONE OF US JAY ONE OF US 😂😁🍈👒
Aw, ya'll cut "Gum Gum Gatling"! Ah, well.
Glad you guys liked this! Can't wait to see how you like Season 2 whenever it drops!
Oh, and for clarfication, they were partying at Coco Village for 3 days before they left, so I'd say they had time for some cosmetic changes!

everything that we're looking for
There's always room for you
if you want to be my friend

One of my favourite little things is the contrast between Luffy and the other pirates reactions to their bounty posters. Everyone apart from Luffy and Gol D Roger are dismissive of their posters and always destroy them. Roger can't interact with his cause he is cuffed but his expression is indifferent like the bounty is nothing special. Which is amazing. The other pirates don't care either but they all destroy their posters. Luffy treats his almost like its his hat. He's so happy he has it and thats amazing. I can't wait to see when the other crew get bounties and how they react x
Anime would be a grind but it’d expand your fanbase so wide it’s crazy
Usopp took down a powerful foe. If he hadn't lured that guy off I don't see how Zoro or Sanji were going to pull off any victory with a living maxim gun constantly firing at them.
Im sure its already been asked but even if you dont react to the anime, (at least watch it in your own time, at your own pace, and tbh, thats the best way to take it in) maybe consider reacting to all the openings. The sheer girth of the series is so immense you'll mostly forget all the visuals by the time you get to said parts in the anime. Also, a bunch of the earlier openings dont give away much of the plot, probably up to opening 8-ish. They start to play with adding in plot snippets in the openings around there, but definitely 12/13 is when they start the typical anime opening that spoils a bit sorta scenario.
Also it'd be such a joy to see Jay react to all the wacky shit the crew gets up to.
But we all would love to see you react to the Anime 🥺❤️
Please guys, Blue Eye Samurai. For the vengeance.
On the tat. Being that this isn't Earth and they have so many different types of fruits maybe her tat was done in a fruit based dye and there are other chemicals to use to go in with a needle full to disolve it.
Welcome onboard Nakamas❤
So you don't get overwhelmed I'd suggest maybe taking in some of the movies. They're usually stand alone so you don't need to have watched the whole series to understand them.
We are with you Jay. We get it because we've being through that 😭🤣
I was lowkey pissed off that they posted 20 episodes of other random stuff before posting the finale of One Piece. LMAO I'm just happy this is here now. Love you guys again!❤🔥 My boyfriend also says hi, he's obsessed with your content.
About that intro - now that Wonka’s out and streaming, I kinda need at least Jay’s review on it.
I need something. PLEASE 🙏
A few more positions to fill? They are around episode 1100 or more and there is still one more crew member yet to join
They going start filming at the end June for season 2 there is a picture at the studio with 2 Merry ships I seen in the last few days I thing might be on Instagram or x I can't remember. I also will love One Piece when it out sold Spiderman and Batman.
Jay your lighting needs to come down, love you guys great one piece series
Welcome aboard our pirate cruise! 🏴☠️
Excellent shirt choice Adam. Cause this episode delivered some Vengeance.
Oh! on a Vengeance related note, the Oscar winning film Godzilla: Minus One is coming to Blu-Ray/4K this May in Japan. So the US release won't be that far behind. If niether of you have seen it, I cannot recommend 2023's best movie enough.
I love how much Jay hates Arlong, cause oh boy... god willing this show reaches Sabaody. Jay is gonna hate every villain per arc... he'd honestly probably hate Absalom more than Moria, but still, every BBEG is just gonnna grind his gears
16:56 Not the main villain but definitely an antagonist.
You’ll meet the White Hunter in Season 2.
There are so many characters that I can’t wait to see in live action. One, in particular, I think will be Jay’s favorite. Other OP Peaches will know who I’m talking about. 😋
A thousand episodes are waiting for you. this is just the trial version XD
This was Garp using approximately 1% of his power. Luffy is in for it.
And this isn’t even Garp in his prime!
Even if you aren't going to do the One Piece anime on the channel, maybe give a fan video called 'The Breathtaking World of One Piece' a watch. It doesn't have any notable story spoilers; it is just all sorts of vistas of the One Piece world as the story progresses. You'll have your mind blown.
Luffy is a fictionnal character, and yet he has been bringing joy into my life for almost 25 years now...
Don't blame Jay for being scared of watching the one piece anime but trust me when I say that if this live action was able to get you in the feels you aren't ready for the anime or at the very least the Manga as it gets even more better that'll get you hard and unexpected in both humor and sadness.
I highly recommend watching the anime or reading the Manga as they both have pros and cons .
If you can skip most of the fillers (I think there's like maybe 100 last time I checked but can be wrong out of around 1100 eps) but being able to witness the way the voice actors brings the characters to life in the anime along with the way the music comes in at key moments like in back stories and as a nice bonus watching the way the animation has changed throughout these last 25 years as it gets better the more you watch the anime than give the anime a try and I'm sure there are people that if you ask the community can give you an idea on what eps you can skip called "one pace" .
If you don't wanna watch the anime but just wanna focus on a more streamline story and witness the creativity of Oda's art style then the Manga would be great for that option. Either way hope Jay or you both do give it a chance even if you don't do a reaction that's perfectly fine with me cause it's that worth it . Also don't feel like you have to do either and you rather stay on the live action only that's completely good too , the important thing is you guys are having fun with the characters and story............... one piece at a time XD sorry not sorry teehee.
Yeah, before watching this I had minimal knowledge about one piece. Now I have watched a bunch of the anime, have merch from it, and am following along with the current manga. So I think this series did its job well. 😂
I find it interesting that they said “every creature has a weakness”….when they didn’t find a weakness. This line would’ve worked better when they get to Alabasta.
Arlong's weaknesses here were his ambition and mindset
@@second1387 But those aren’t *combat* weaknesses. Tactical weaknesses, sure, but not combat. Unlike Crocodile, who has the combat weakness of being vulnerable to water attacks.
@@Hawkcam1996 well that's still a weakness though. Luffy mentioned that he won't hesitate when he finds his weakness. That's why when he found out that he can destroy the maps that contained Arlong's ambition knowing Arlong won't have it back without Nami, he did not hesitate to do it.
@@second1387 But again, that’s not a combat weakness. That doesn’t help him win the fight. That’s why there was never any mention of a weakness in the original version. Because destroying the maps had nothing to do with a weakness, it was for *Nami’s* emotional benefit, not for the sake of defeating Arlong. Defeating Arlong is just something that ended up happening as a result of destroying the entire building in the process of destroying the maps. That’s why I think the creators of the live action version misunderstood the significance of Luffy destroying the maps. Just like they didn’t understand the significance of the villagers knowing about Nami’s deal with Arlong all along. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the live action version is bad in any way whatsoever. I absolutely loved it. I’m just saying that some of the writing could’ve been better. That weakness line just feels so out of place because it doesn’t belong in dialogue that refers to defeating Arlong. Luffy never needed a weakness to defeat Arlong, he just needed the proper motivation. Just like in the Water 7 Saga, he lost his first fight against Rob Lucci because he didn’t yet have the right motivation until he learned the truth about why Robin betrayed them. It should be the same here. They did take heavy inspiration from the Water 7 Saga in this after all, so why not use that motivation factor here as well?
@@Hawkcam1996 well I do kinda agree with you because I prefer the original version rather than the LA (Because the reason Luffy wanted to destroy the maps is more focused to free Nami rather than defeating Arlong which I think the opposite happened in the LA). But I think the LA just wanted to show that the weakness of Arlong allowed Luffy to defeat him not physically but rather mentally because Arlong always thought that his species were perfect. That's why from the realization of, "You'd be nothing without her.", Arlong's pride was shattered and even got more shattered when Luffy started destroying the maps. So it's like seeing all his hardwork, thoughts and ambition be gone before the moment he himself got destroyed. So for instance, Luffy defeated Arlong mentally before physically and that's a satisfying factor for the audience especially newcomers because that's a karma for what Arlong did the same thing with Nami (Arlong also defeated her mentally). Also considering the fact that this version of Luffy is kinda weaker than his original counterpart, this is a blast for the audience especially the newcomers seeing Arlong enraged. Although the Gum Gum Gatling and Battle Axe came from nowhere, that just added the hype when seeing Arlong got destroyed along with all of his works. So in conclusion, I think Luffy can really beat Arlong with that Gum Gum Gatling and Battle Axe all along but that 'weakness' of Arlong allowed him to have a meltdown and be defeated mentally or even emotionally as well
Finally!! Thank you
You can always start a book club and read the source material.
Not really a teaser for a villain, but definitely an antagonist. That character is very much the Javert of One Piece.
I mean... I would LOVE videos about the anime, but could we at least get Arc Reviews or something? That'd be dope!
Teaser scene at the end is Smokers, the Captain of the Marine. Can’t wait for Season 2.
Smoker’s not an Admiral. His rank at this point of the story is that of Captain.
