The most iconic scene in Amazon lily is the sudden twist of knowing that boa Hancock is in love with luffy. That hit very hard as boa is one of the seven Warlords and upto this point all of them were villains, so this came out of nowhere and the elder lady saying that boa is having love sickness and love is a hurricane is an iconic moment for sure
Hey Morj, I bought the 1000 piece puzzle for Christmas and was disappointed to see the final result. The top of the puzzle (Big Mom to Kaido) is cropped in, leaving only the chins of the characters. The bottom seems to be cropped compared to the box art, I was just curious if this was intended or not. Thank you.
before reverse mountain, I think there is also one unforgettable scene. When every straw hats put their leg on a barrel and said their wishes. I love that Iconic moment
@@user-ym1tt7bp6g I always considered it to be part of Reverse Mountain, since that’s the threshold they’re crossing to begin the dreams they spoke about around the barrel, but that’s just my personal take on it
@@reddalex4Say if the raid did fail, what then? You expect Kaido to politely escort the SH out of a floating island so that they can recoup? Do you expect the Beast Pirates to not kill all of the Samurais after what they did? When you think about it, the raid failing is the one thing that cant happen without the story ending.
For Skypiea, I think you're mistaken, sure that Enel reaction is memorable but I would categorize it as most meme'd moment. To me, and I'm sure many others, the most iconic moment from Skypiea is Luffy ringing the bell and proclaiming to Cricket that the city of gold is in the sky. The bell's ringing carrying so far so that even Cricket can hear it way up there in all its majesty and thus fulfilling a promise 400 years in the making to bring the Nolan flashback full circle proving he was no liar. This single moment is the reason Skypiea is in my top 3 favorite One Piece arcs. I always tear up thinking of this moment. It's simply one of the best.
Skypiea was so important because its one of the few „adventure first, main story second“ knowing that the following arc of W7/EL will be the more emotional. Also Ringing the Bell is a nice finish to wrap up the arc starting with Cricket.
I think that the Crocus introduction should be the iconic moment for reverse moutain. It's not a dramatic moment but a iconic comedy moment that everybody remembers.
Best intro ever! If them stating their dreams while breaking the barrel counts in reverse mountain, I would give it to that, but if not, its Crocus easily
omg yes this was peak One Piece comedy and the anime retranscribed it so well with the timing and the false gravity, I happen to rewatch it from time to time and it always get me
I'd say the Strawhats putting their foot on the barrel, announcing their dreams, was pretty iconic. Not sure if that moment is part of reverse mountain or loguetown.
How about the reveal that zeff had eaten his own leg in sanjis backstory? (I only read the manga, but I heard that he doesn't eat his own leg in the anime?)
To me, in marineford, the panel of whitebear died while standing, especially with the narratives of how many wounds he got during the fight was the one that got me into One Piece ever since
yep one of the best send offs for an iconic character. WB made us fall in love with im in one arc and oda found the perfect way to end it on a high note for him also the whole One Piece is real + telling Teach he's not the one roger was looking for
I would say Ace's one is more iconic, but the whole whitebeard death thing is the best (top 3 easily for me). Maybe because Ace's death was a dumb decision by him, and many people also got spoiled of it.
@@troillandford7679I don't remember about the Tarzan shout but the cool pose was definitely in the manga, that's the first time a manga made me burst tears by laughing
A moment that often gets somewhat overlooked is Vivi desperately screaming for everyone to stop fighting in Alabasta. That was said to be one of the few moments that brought Oda to tears as he was making that page.
Knowing Sanjis story, The Farewell to Zeff is definitely The Fatherhood everyone needs. The world could Be much a better place if everyone had a father like Zeff.
@@rajasaraf6602 you say that but that is literally the most iconic part of that arc. Only Sanji moment that got robbed was in Skypeia where Sanji said "I needed a light".
The question is, do you consider that part of Loguetown or Reverse Mountain since it's right between them? It should've been one or the other on the vid though, yeah
@@koopakapeIt's chapter 100 which is the last chapter of loguetown according to my established knowledge and every source I can find on google. Double checked.
I think Luffy using Conquerors is the most Iconic at Amazon Lily, and I think people remember Luffy knocking out 50000 Fishman way more than Luffy and Jinbei transferring blood.
when i was reading weekly for fishman island (I was 12), the 10 vs 10000 fishman chapter was hype more so than the blood transfusion. Upon reread, I appreciate the blood transfusion more than the coc haki flex
it's hard to say, the blood transfusion obviously holds a lot more meaning and as a closure to the whole conflict on Fishman Island (with Fisher Tiger dying because of a blood transfusion refusal) it's probably more fitting to describe the "most iconic" moment of the arc. But we can't easily discard how big the Conqueror's Haki moment was, everyone was dying to see how far Luffy had come, and defeating 50000 enemies in one go is *still* the moment where the most enemies were defeated in the story.
WOAH MORJ reverse mountain Arc has one of THE MOST iconic moments in the entire series. The straw hat crew Proclaiming their Dreams with everyone’s foot on the barrel. It even made the live action that moment is imperative to the story
I would consider Hancock’s explanation of how she was a slave to be the most iconic part of Amazon Lily. It comes at a time where we had just learned about all the dark culture of Sabaody and that was our first glance at how it affects the broader world and story besides one archipelago. Don’t know if it’s talked about that much though.
To be far, my favorite Naruto moments are also the emotional ones. Itach and Sasuke and Pain's backstory. BUT, I do agree that OP focuses on it far more and its emotional scenes hit way more for me! BTW. wish you mentioned Sanji's backstory and goodbye to Zeff from Baratie. Those moments hit the most in that arc. Also in Skypiea, you HAVE to mention Luffy ringing the bell as another iconic moment... And Going Merry's funeral for EL. Luffy vs Usopp for W7?! One Piece is real from WB?!
Doesn’t the barrel scene with all the strawhats saying their dreams count as part of reverse mountain? That’s certainly an iconic scene. I also think Fisher Tiger on his deathbed refusing blood, Luffy putting the hat over Katakuri’s mouth, Sanji trying to light his cigarette in the rain, and the bell on Skypiea being rung all deserve some mention personally even if they aren’t necessarily the most iconic from their arcs.
In Whole Cake Island, Sanji in the rain learning of Puddings acting is my most memorable moment. Him trying to light the cigarette and it keeps being put out before the camera pans to him in tears was the most emotional I’ve been in the story
I was once at a rehab center for 30 days. One of the guys I became friends with battled alcoholism due to the death of his wife and newborn daughter. It was a tough struggle for him One day I pulled him to the side and talked to him about it and told him "One never truly dies until they are forgotten. Don't let their memories haunt you, but cherish them" It hit him so hard that he gave me a shout out at an AA meeting a week or two later Hope he's been doing okay
Hannyabal's speech was the most iconic to me in Impel Down. No one expected that from him and it really insinuates what Luffy's doing is questionable in the grand scheme of things
I disagree personally. I thought it was just the justification he used to make himself feel better about how much of a sadist he was. Even directly after that scene black beard comes in and mocks him for trying to label morality as black and white, and while BB is a villain, the points he made were somewhat valid.
@@oxedward4738 sure, there are holes in Hannyabal's worldview no doubt, but mirulrs is still right that Hannyabal's speak is what first got a lot of readers questioning the correctness of Luffy's actions. The vast majority of pirates in the OP world are not at all like the Straw Hats, and whilst many probably didn't deserve the torture they were subjected to there's a good argument to be made that Luffy's actions did more harm than good here, especially considering the futility of it all in the end. Ofc, Blackbeard would've broken into impel down anyway, so I wouldn't necessarily blame Luffy for the level 6 escapees, but Luffy definitely indirectly assisted Blackbeard there as well
It took Shanks another pirate himself to drop Kid out of the Pirate King race for good hence why Ace wasn't executed for his crimes themselves, but the fact that he was born with the wrong genetics in the eyes of the World Government hence why Luffy wouldn't have breaken in and out of Impel Down if World Government officials done their jobs correctly@@invalidopinion5384.
the walk to arlong park is also very iconic. Sanji kicking usopp out of the way and getting hit by enel's lightning in skypiea and The one piece is real also are super iconic.
Skypiea Note: The snake having a dream of his friends (Noland and Kalgara) fading away as he chases them, and then having it revealed that him slithering forward in his sleep ultimately contributed toward achieving his old friends' dream of ringing the bell (by ramming into the tree accidentally) is seriously good stuff, and people gloss over that moment quite often. It actually brought a tear to my eye when reading it, and I'm a grown-ass man. Seriously, go re-read that arc and pay attention to that moment. It combines the sincere sadness of an animal (similar to a dog) grieving the death of his masters, while somehow (in very One Piece fashion) *actually* contributes to their long-lost dream becoming a reality. Also, Luffy and the Straw Hats dancing around the fire is certainly better than Enel's reaction. I thought this back then, and I maintain it now. It's a simply beautiful scene that highlights where Robin's heart belongs quite some time before the events of Water 7, which elevates that scene at the fire even further. Strikingly stylized, too.
As much as I love Zoro's "Nothing happened" moment, I'd actually argue that Brook playing the piano is even more iconic, especially when it flashs back to his backstory and their all singing in their last moments.
One underrated but iconic moment for me in Impel Down is during Luffy's treatment by Ivankov. I'll never forget Bon Clay passing on his positivity and strength supporting his friend. I still get goosebumps thinking of that moment
Engel’s face is probably the most remembered in Skypiea. But when he got up after taking the reject dial and said ‘people do not fear God, God itself is fear’ that was the coldest scene
Most iconic moment of Amazon Lily for me was Boa's sister telling her other sister that she can't attack Luffy because at that moment he was protecting them. It 180˚ed the tone and direction everything was going in. Before this moment I thought Luffy was going to defeat the sisters and then make Hancock the 3rd notch on his Warlord belt. I had no idea he was going to win his fight by winning them over.
I was an anime only, and the first time I picked up the manga, was when I heard Gear 4 was dropping next week on the manga. Even Gear 4 beeing the whole reason I went to manga, i still think that Corazon's "I love you" to Law is WAAAAY more iconic. Is such a powerfull moment, and definitely one of the best emotional moments on the series.
Corazon's speech about the D clan is also more iconic than Gear 4th transformation too since the Gear 4th transformation is only iconic whenever it comes to the defeat of Cracker, Doflamingo, and Katakuri.
Corazon was a father towards Law as much as Whitebeard was a father towards all his crewmates; Dragon being a father for Sabo; Garp being a father towards Koby, and Jimbei was a father towards Luffy@@kayquevianna9204.
For me, It was luffy putting bonclay before himself for imu to heal in impel down, I actually barely remember the magellan fight. Infact even the BB encounter or magellan one-shotting BB crew was more memorable. The scene with the whole impel down allies landing on raft/board is also a memorable scenery in mind.
my personal favorite Amazon Lily moment is Luffy covering Sandersonia's back. I think its one of the most underrated Luffy character moments overall. It's a perfect demonstration of who he is and it's really the turning point of that arc as well.
Naruto had some iconic emotional scenes. the happy bday scene from minato to naruto still lives in my head rent free, Narujesus turning 17 during the war is crazy to me.
You know a story is well-written, when you go through a rollercoaster of emotions just by remembering these scenes, not even fully watching/reading them.
Gear 5th and Roger laughed are probably better than my personal moment but all of the worst generation arriving to the roof and Luffy knocking down an Emperor, genuinely shocking Big Mom having her say “HOW COULD YOU LET HIM KNOCK YOU DOWN?!?” And then Luffy declaring that he will be the king of the pirates while both Emperors look at him for the first time as a genuine threat takes the cake for me as the most iconic moment of Wano.
Blackbeards introduction is great, but I think my favorite part/scene from Jaya is a one much smaller: The face off of Cricket and Bellamy. Just the image of bloody, bruised up Cricket that takes half the page. He takes a breath of his cigarette and his eyes filled with rage without pupils. I don't know why it makes me feel the way it does. Just this image of a broken man, ready to defend till the end all he has to show for his life's work. And he knows he's going to loose. I grow up with the finnish translation of the manga, and the dialogue IMO gives so much more punch to the scene than the official english translation. "Älä sinä märkäkorva esitä oikeaa merirosvoa kun et edes uskalla haastaa haavekuvia tappeluun" Roughly and straightly translated it goes "Don't you wet-behind-ears try to pretend be a real pirate when you don't even have the guts to challenge fantasies into a fight" And Bellamy turns to him "What was that?" It has always striked with me. To the point I always think of this scene when I see people who talk big shit about doing something big but they never have the courage to even start. Jaya is so underappreciated arc.
Enjoyed this style of video Morj! On a slightly selfish level, this is the type of video that will get you much more views in years to come and worth doing more of to boost those figures up (compared to regular theory vids or review vids). Always enjoy all your content regardless
I would think the most iconic moment of Amazon Lily is either Boa Hancock's lovesickness, Luffy being immune to Boa Hancock's Love Beam, or Luffy learning of Ace's impending execution. Edit: Also, if I were to separate Water 7 and Ennies Lobby, I would nominate Luffy versus Ussop as the most iconic moment of the former.
My changes: Romance Dawn - Shanks losing his arm Syrup Village - Getting the Going Merry Reverse Mountain - Luffy painting the straw hats logo on Laboon Little Garden - A bit of a meme but Zoro trying to cut his legs off Alabasta - I agree with the arm raising but I just want to give props to Luffy using his own blood to fight Crocodile Jaya - Luffy one shots Bellamy Skypiea - Sanji's "I needed a light" moment Long Ring Long Land - Afro Luffy Amazon Lily - Boa gives Luffy her backstory Impel Down - Bon Clay cheering on Luffy's recovery to the point of exhaustion Marineford - Ace's sacrifice is definitely the more iconic moment but Whitebeard dying standing with no wounds to the back was also very iconic. Fishman Island - Luffy knocks out 50000 enemies in an instant Dressrosa - Gear 4 is more iconic but Usopp's observation snipe and God Usopp moments were up there Wano - This is Gear 5 for sure, the Oden flashback about Roger doesn't come close for me
For me the highlight of LogueTown was them all declaring their dreams with the barrel. The highlight of skypiea is the shadow of Luffy holding his has hat in the sky after he defeats Eneru
Maybe because of its anime clip being so popular on RUclips, but I was under the impression that Luffy's Jet Bazooka on Blackbeard after he found out from him that he replaced Ace was Impel Down's most iconic moment. I guess it's just for me? But again, that was my impression.
I feel for Fishman Island, the 10 vs 100,000 scene is very iconic, can't choose what is the most iconic panel of this moment though, whether it's the panel of the Straw Hats lining up, or Zoro and Sanji blocking attacks at the same time as Luffy marches forward, or it is the incredible Luffy's Conqueror's Haki knocking down 50,000 fishmen feat, it's one hype moment after the other. it's this moment where the Straw Hats started to truly feel like a legendary crew in-universe, they felt like a big deal, they are now one of the strongest parties in the world, competing with the likes of Whitebeard's crew or Shanks' crew is not a far-off dream. granted in terms of power scaling and fame they are still far away from that, but it felt like a signal to the reader it is only a matter of time before that happens
Thanks to memes and other reasons, Whitebeard saying "THE ONE PIECE IS REAL" might actually be just as iconic as the Ace death scene as crazy as that is to say.
The Merry sinking in Water 7 is the first time in years that I've cried over something in media and it genuinely has a special place in my heart for how well done it is. It's one of my favourite moments when trying to explain the emotional depth of One Piece
I think Syrup Village the moment that stood out to me and let me know as a first time viewer how emotional and hardboiled the show could be was a battered Usopp, on the ground, still trying to stand up to Kuro and save Kaya.
Not that I disagree on Gear 4 being the most iconic moment in Dressrose, but for me personal, my stand-out moment will always be Corazon's death. Telling Law he loves him with the smile that became his Jolly Roger, telling Doflamingo that Law is free now, and staying alive as long as he can so that Law has sufficient time to escape without being heard.
Idk mann this op youtuber should get the most views or suscribers than others because how deep he can get on one piece , others just usually focus on reviews or fight scenes or anything else, this one is true gem in one piece community
a couple of dark horse contenders for ya: baratie: sanji saying goodbye reverse mountain: luffy painting his flag on laboon whiskey peak: vivi's slip-up about crocodile or perhaps robin's introduction taking down igaram alabasta: I don't think there's anything more iconic than the ending but a close second is Vivi screaming her lungs out and then the rain finally letting her voice be heard water 7: luffy vs usopp post-enies lobby: usopp's apology thriller bark: tbh I forget everyone goes crazy over Nothing Happened so much because the scene I always go back the performance of Binks's Sake both in the present moment and in Brook's flashback impel down: an injured bon clay trying to support luffy while ivankov heals him idk that one stuck with me a lot more than the fight scene fishman island: you chose a great one but I think fisher tiger dying through tears because he just can't bring himself to have human blood inside him is just as iconic, as is the first time the name "joy boy" was dropped in the apology on the poneglyph punk hazard: the pirates and marines coming together to save the kids and just reveling in that moment together while separated only by a thin line I think hits pretty hard dressrosa: luffy discovering sabo was alive or maybe usopp's attack on sugar
Gear 5th is probably the most iconic thing to come out of one piece but in my opinion the most iconic thing to me in wano was chapter 1000, I love it when oda takes forever to make one piece, one piece again by reminding us who luffy is as a person
Roger and his crew laughing takes it for me for Wano… the theme song playing… the crew’s elation…everything…we still don’t even know what it is for sure, but I think every true ONE PIECE fan felt the same joy after watching them celebrate
I would say "Help Me" is in the top tier even just among the iconic moments, because it was the first high water mark for such scenes. When it first came out, the power of the emotions were simply unprecedented. Things like Robin's declaration at Enies Lobby, punching the Celestial Dragon, and Ace's and Kuma's sacrifices have surpassed it in sheer impact, but "Help Me" primed the pumps - so to speak - preparing us for those future moments. I also agree with OmegaSpartan08 that the ringing of the bell is the most iconic moment in Skypeia, and with syd7903 that Brook's flashback during the party is the most iconic moment on Thriller Bark.
I see why you brought Water 7 and Enies Lobby together but I think they're different enough to be considered separately. So it's clear that they are different islands, but Enies Lobby is also about Robin and Water 7 is more about the ship, Usopp and Iceburg. It wouldn't have been necessary for the video either, as Water 7 itself also has some iconic moments. Especially the fight and separation between Luffy and Usopp. I also wanted to mention the walk and the destruction of Franky's house, Tom's speech and how Franky throws himself in front of the train. Enie's lobby is full of iconic moments anyway. The Robin moment fits as the iconic but The death of Merry and Gear 2 should have been mentioned too. In Impel Down we have to mention the second encounter between Luffy and Blackbeard and the punch. Marine Ford “one piece is real” also needs to be mentioned. Whole cake you can still mention the moment where Jibei leaves the Big Mom crew and puts the sake bowl down. Wano still has the moment where Luffy arrives on the roof and ignores the two emperors and runs past them and shortly afterwards one punches kaido to the ground.

Bonclay’s sacrifice is without a doubt the most iconic moment in Impel Down
agreed
Bon Clay was an absolute trooper, I'm glad Oda decided to keep him around and make him the new ruler of Impel Down's Kamabakka Kingdom

Amazing moment
I think Sanji’s farewell and bow of gratitude to Zeff is soooo underrated. Same thing for Ace and Whitebeard farewell at Marineford.
I will cry the day Zeff and Sanji meet again.
How about the reveal that zeff had eaten his own leg in sanjis backstory? (I only read the manga, but I heard that he doesn't eat his own leg in the anime?)
Most iconic moment in Skypiea is definitely the ending with the bell ringing and Luffys silhouette….EPIC.
Thats the first thing that came to my mind. The unadulterated joy i felt seeing that panel is unmatched
To me, in marineford, the panel of whitebear died while standing, especially with the narratives of how many wounds he got during the fight was the one that got me into One Piece ever since
It's one of the most iconic panels of the series and made Whitebeard one of my fav characters. Oda knows how to give his heroes a good death.

are those manga canon though?

For me, most impactful in wano was "Oden isn't Oden unless it's boiled"
Ace saying: "Thank you... for loving me." is way more iconic than Akainu dealing him a mortal wound.
Sanji light moment with Enel is the moment that sticks out for me in that arc. I was surprised it wasn’t even mentioned
Morj is a zoro fanboy

That panel of the strawhats crying while going merry is burning is one of the best tear jerker in the series.
Finaly someone who talks about this ! No one seems to remember this scene but damn it's the only scene in One Piece that had me shed a tear.
I think Luffy using Conquerors is the most Iconic at Amazon Lily, and I think people remember Luffy knocking out 50000 Fishman way more than Luffy and Jinbei transferring blood.
I guess its everyones taste. I prefer Luffy and Jinbe blood transfer more iconic
I’ll definitely say it’s luffy and jinbei transferring blood as most iconic in fishmen island

To be far, my favorite Naruto moments are also the emotional ones. Itach and Sasuke and Pain's backstory. BUT, I do agree that OP focuses on it far more and its emotional scenes hit way more for me! BTW. wish you mentioned Sanji's backstory and goodbye to Zeff from Baratie. Those moments hit the most in that arc. Also in Skypiea, you HAVE to mention Luffy ringing the bell as another iconic moment... And Going Merry's funeral for EL. Luffy vs Usopp for W7?! One Piece is real from WB?!
Thanks, I needed a light.
The fact there’s so much iconic scenes that Morj forgot to mention some
Doesn’t the barrel scene with all the strawhats saying their dreams count as part of reverse mountain? That’s certainly an iconic scene. I also think Fisher Tiger on his deathbed refusing blood, Luffy putting the hat over Katakuri’s mouth, Sanji trying to light his cigarette in the rain, and the bell on Skypiea being rung all deserve some mention personally even if they aren’t necessarily the most iconic from their arcs.
ya , where is the barrel scene , i was thinking the same
In Whole Cake Island, Sanji in the rain learning of Puddings acting is my most memorable moment. Him trying to light the cigarette and it keeps being put out before the camera pans to him in tears was the most emotional I’ve been in the story
I was once at a rehab center for 30 days. One of the guys I became friends with battled alcoholism due to the death of his wife and newborn daughter. It was a tough struggle for him
One day I pulled him to the side and talked to him about it and told him "One never truly dies until they are forgotten. Don't let their memories haunt you, but cherish them"
It hit him so hard that he gave me a shout out at an AA meeting a week or two later
Hope he's been doing okay
"I still have my nakama" was te FIRST moment that made me CRY in ANY anime
Hannyabal's speech was the most iconic to me in Impel Down. No one expected that from him and it really insinuates what Luffy's doing is questionable in the grand scheme of things
I disagree personally. I thought it was just the justification he used to make himself feel better about how much of a sadist he was. Even directly after that scene black beard comes in and mocks him for trying to label morality as black and white, and while BB is a villain, the points he made were somewhat valid.
@@oxedward4738 sure, there are holes in Hannyabal's worldview no doubt, but mirulrs is still right that Hannyabal's speak is what first got a lot of readers questioning the correctness of Luffy's actions. The vast majority of pirates in the OP world are not at all like the Straw Hats, and whilst many probably didn't deserve the torture they were subjected to there's a good argument to be made that Luffy's actions did more harm than good here, especially considering the futility of it all in the end. Ofc, Blackbeard would've broken into impel down anyway, so I wouldn't necessarily blame Luffy for the level 6 escapees, but Luffy definitely indirectly assisted Blackbeard there as well
It took Shanks another pirate himself to drop Kid out of the Pirate King race for good hence why Ace wasn't executed for his crimes themselves, but the fact that he was born with the wrong genetics in the eyes of the World Government hence why Luffy wouldn't have breaken in and out of Impel Down if World Government officials done their jobs correctly@@invalidopinion5384.
the walk to arlong park is also very iconic. Sanji kicking usopp out of the way and getting hit by enel's lightning in skypiea and The one piece is real also are super iconic.
most iconic moment in skypiea at least for me is viper proclaiming that hes still standing for the sake of his ancestors
One of the most underrated scenes in the series
Skypiea Note: The snake having a dream of his friends (Noland and Kalgara) fading away as he chases them, and then having it revealed that him slithering forward in his sleep ultimately contributed toward achieving his old friends' dream of ringing the bell (by ramming into the tree accidentally) is seriously good stuff, and people gloss over that moment quite often. It actually brought a tear to my eye when reading it, and I'm a grown-ass man. Seriously, go re-read that arc and pay attention to that moment. It combines the sincere sadness of an animal (similar to a dog) grieving the death of his masters, while somehow (in very One Piece fashion) *actually* contributes to their long-lost dream becoming a reality.
Also, Luffy and the Straw Hats dancing around the fire is certainly better than Enel's reaction. I thought this back then, and I maintain it now. It's a simply beautiful scene that highlights where Robin's heart belongs quite some time before the events of Water 7, which elevates that scene at the fire even further. Strikingly stylized, too.
As much as I love Zoro's "Nothing happened" moment, I'd actually argue that Brook playing the piano is even more iconic, especially when it flashs back to his backstory and their all singing in their last moments.
Yes! I go back and watch that scene sometimes
Yessssss
It's arguably better but it's definitely not more iconic than Nothing Happened.
sorry but i cant agree.. it was a good moment tho
I think is more emotionally charged but isn't as iconic.
One underrated but iconic moment for me in Impel Down is during Luffy's treatment by Ivankov. I'll never forget Bon Clay passing on his positivity and strength supporting his friend. I still get goosebumps thinking of that moment
Engel’s face is probably the most remembered in Skypiea. But when he got up after taking the reject dial and said ‘people do not fear God, God itself is fear’ that was the coldest scene
12:45 the most talked about moment from Amazon Lily might be the “family jewels“ scene lol
Most iconic moment of Amazon Lily for me was Boa's sister telling her other sister that she can't attack Luffy because at that moment he was protecting them. It 180˚ed the tone and direction everything was going in. Before this moment I thought Luffy was going to defeat the sisters and then make Hancock the 3rd notch on his Warlord belt. I had no idea he was going to win his fight by winning them over.
I think everyone arguing in the comments shows just how iconic this show really is
I was an anime only, and the first time I picked up the manga, was when I heard Gear 4 was dropping next week on the manga. Even Gear 4 beeing the whole reason I went to manga, i still think that Corazon's "I love you" to Law is WAAAAY more iconic. Is such a powerfull moment, and definitely one of the best emotional moments on the series.
Corazon's speech about the D clan is also more iconic than Gear 4th transformation too since the Gear 4th transformation is only iconic whenever it comes to the defeat of Cracker, Doflamingo, and Katakuri.
to me the most iconic moment in dressrosa is when luffy stops doflamingo's stomp
@@zemiguel8261 thats really good too
Corazon was a father towards Law as much as Whitebeard was a father towards all his crewmates; Dragon being a father for Sabo; Garp being a father towards Koby, and Jimbei was a father towards Luffy@@kayquevianna9204.
Drum Kingdom: Luffy telling Chopper, "Shut up! Let's go!" is my favorite moment of the arc.
Don't believe that you skipped Afro Luffy the Greatest iconic moment in the whole of fiction and maybe the totality human History
For me, It was luffy putting bonclay before himself for imu to heal in impel down, I actually barely remember the magellan fight. Infact even the BB encounter or magellan one-shotting BB crew was more memorable. The scene with the whole impel down allies landing on raft/board is also a memorable scenery in mind.
my personal favorite Amazon Lily moment is Luffy covering Sandersonia's back. I think its one of the most underrated Luffy character moments overall. It's a perfect demonstration of who he is and it's really the turning point of that arc as well.
Naruto had some iconic emotional scenes. the happy bday scene from minato to naruto still lives in my head rent free, Narujesus turning 17 during the war is crazy to me.
the kakashi worse than trash quote is one as well.
You know a story is well-written, when you go through a rollercoaster of emotions just by remembering these scenes, not even fully watching/reading them.
Gear 5th and Roger laughed are probably better than my personal moment but all of the worst generation arriving to the roof and Luffy knocking down an Emperor, genuinely shocking Big Mom having her say “HOW COULD YOU LET HIM KNOCK YOU DOWN?!?” And then Luffy declaring that he will be the king of the pirates while both Emperors look at him for the first time as a genuine threat takes the cake for me as the most iconic moment of Wano.
Wano just had so many good moments
Blackbeards introduction is great, but I think my favorite part/scene from Jaya is a one much smaller: The face off of Cricket and Bellamy.
Just the image of bloody, bruised up Cricket that takes half the page. He takes a breath of his cigarette and his eyes filled with rage without pupils.
I don't know why it makes me feel the way it does. Just this image of a broken man, ready to defend till the end all he has to show for his life's work. And he knows he's going to loose.
I grow up with the finnish translation of the manga, and the dialogue IMO gives so much more punch to the scene than the official english translation.
"Älä sinä märkäkorva esitä oikeaa merirosvoa kun et edes uskalla haastaa haavekuvia tappeluun"
Roughly and straightly translated it goes "Don't you wet-behind-ears try to pretend be a real pirate when you don't even have the guts to challenge fantasies into a fight"
And Bellamy turns to him "What was that?"
It has always striked with me. To the point I always think of this scene when I see people who talk big shit about doing something big but they never have the courage to even start. Jaya is so underappreciated arc.
Someone who appreciates Jaya!! Finally!!
Enjoyed this style of video Morj! On a slightly selfish level, this is the type of video that will get you much more views in years to come and worth doing more of to boost those figures up (compared to regular theory vids or review vids). Always enjoy all your content regardless
For me Loguetown has to be the strawhats declaring their dreams and Skypiea is Luffy ringing the bell, that moment gave me chills
My Favorite Moments is in Enies Lobby arc where Luffy asked Nico Robin if she wanted to live and she responded by saying that she wanna live
Top 5 tbh
Loguetown's most iconic moment is the barrel scene where the strawhats each declare their dreams
I would think the most iconic moment of Amazon Lily is either Boa Hancock's lovesickness, Luffy being immune to Boa Hancock's Love Beam, or Luffy learning of Ace's impending execution.
Edit: Also, if I were to separate Water 7 and Ennies Lobby, I would nominate Luffy versus Ussop as the most iconic moment of the former.
Luffy V Usopp was the closest One piece got me to misty eyes up till Kuma's flashback
For Amazon Lily, the "That's not food" moment. Totally sums up Luffy's comedic aspect
The image of all the straw hats talking about their dreams and putting their feet on the barrel is easily the most iconic part of reverse mountain
You forgot Dragon saving Luffy at Louguetown
For me "I cant forgive humans" is the most iconic moment of fishman island
My favourite moment of all fiction works is Fujitora"s speech to Akainu.
My changes:
Romance Dawn - Shanks losing his arm
Syrup Village - Getting the Going Merry
Reverse Mountain - Luffy painting the straw hats logo on Laboon
Little Garden - A bit of a meme but Zoro trying to cut his legs off
Alabasta - I agree with the arm raising but I just want to give props to Luffy using his own blood to fight Crocodile
Jaya - Luffy one shots Bellamy
Skypiea - Sanji's "I needed a light" moment
Long Ring Long Land - Afro Luffy
Amazon Lily - Boa gives Luffy her backstory
Impel Down - Bon Clay cheering on Luffy's recovery to the point of exhaustion
Marineford - Ace's sacrifice is definitely the more iconic moment but Whitebeard dying standing with no wounds to the back was also very iconic.
Fishman Island - Luffy knocks out 50000 enemies in an instant
Dressrosa - Gear 4 is more iconic but Usopp's observation snipe and God Usopp moments were up there
Wano - This is Gear 5 for sure, the Oden flashback about Roger doesn't come close for me
Luffy walking past 2 yonkos each 5x his height just to check if his friends were ok was goated
For me the highlight of LogueTown was them all declaring their dreams with the barrel. The highlight of skypiea is the shadow of Luffy holding his has hat in the sky after he defeats Eneru
In my opinion “THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!!” is as iconic as Ace’s death in Marineford.
I absolutely agree with this and I want to add Shanks saving Kobe and ending the war, even if it's a bit less impactful than the two others.
The raid failing was the most iconic part of wano
"Nothing happened" saved thriller bark
For me the most iconic moment from Amazon Lilly was Luffy using Conquerors Haki for the first time. That was a really underrated moment tbh
OP's greatest punch was WhiteBeard bending space on Akainu's face
Maybe because of its anime clip being so popular on RUclips, but I was under the impression that Luffy's Jet Bazooka on Blackbeard after he found out from him that he replaced Ace was Impel Down's most iconic moment.
I guess it's just for me? But again, that was my impression.
Imo the most iconic part of Amazon lily is when Luffy finds out about Aces execution
amazon lily's icon moment is when you realize hancock is in love with luffy. We take it for granted now but that was impossibly hilarious at the time
Sabaody: the straw hats getting teleported by Kuma litterlay impacted 110 episodes
I feel for Fishman Island, the 10 vs 100,000 scene is very iconic, can't choose what is the most iconic panel of this moment though, whether it's the panel of the Straw Hats lining up, or Zoro and Sanji blocking attacks at the same time as Luffy marches forward, or it is the incredible Luffy's Conqueror's Haki knocking down 50,000 fishmen feat, it's one hype moment after the other. it's this moment where the Straw Hats started to truly feel like a legendary crew in-universe, they felt like a big deal, they are now one of the strongest parties in the world, competing with the likes of Whitebeard's crew or Shanks' crew is not a far-off dream. granted in terms of power scaling and fame they are still far away from that, but it felt like a signal to the reader it is only a matter of time before that happens
The most iconic moment of impel down is hands down crocodile saying mugiwara
Skypea had such an iconic sanji against enel moment even before zoro’s “nothing happened”
Thanks to memes and other reasons, Whitebeard saying "THE ONE PIECE IS REAL" might actually be just as iconic as the Ace death scene as crazy as that is to say.
i think a lot more non-one piece fans have seen the whitebeard scene for sure.
Ngl that kuma punch might have taken the tittle of the most satisfying punch
The Merry sinking in Water 7 is the first time in years that I've cried over something in media and it genuinely has a special place in my heart for how well done it is. It's one of my favourite moments when trying to explain the emotional depth of One Piece
I think Syrup Village the moment that stood out to me and let me know as a first time viewer how emotional and hardboiled the show could be was a battered Usopp, on the ground, still trying to stand up to Kuro and save Kaya.
Zoro's 4Kids dub voice actor being the same as Gut's 'Berserk 97' dub makes the 100 man fight really dope in retrospect
The ship falling from the sky and Oda quoting somebody about imagination can become reality was iconic to me.
Usopp telling Luffy to get up when he’s fighting Lucci is probably my favorite moment from enies lobby
The fact that you passed up the barrel scene is a crime. Everyone reaffirming their dreams before going to the grand line, is literal perfection
My favorite in WholeCake was the “I wanna go back to Sunny”
Not that I disagree on Gear 4 being the most iconic moment in Dressrose, but for me personal, my stand-out moment will always be Corazon's death. Telling Law he loves him with the smile that became his Jolly Roger, telling Doflamingo that Law is free now, and staying alive as long as he can so that Law has sufficient time to escape without being heard.
Idk mann this op youtuber should get the most views or suscribers than others because how deep he can get on one piece , others just usually focus on reviews or fight scenes or anything else, this one is true gem in one piece community
most iconic moment of this video is Morj finally fixing his pronunciation of Magellan
a couple of dark horse contenders for ya:
baratie: sanji saying goodbye
reverse mountain: luffy painting his flag on laboon
whiskey peak: vivi's slip-up about crocodile or perhaps robin's introduction taking down igaram
alabasta: I don't think there's anything more iconic than the ending but a close second is Vivi screaming her lungs out and then the rain finally letting her voice be heard
water 7: luffy vs usopp
post-enies lobby: usopp's apology
thriller bark: tbh I forget everyone goes crazy over Nothing Happened so much because the scene I always go back the performance of Binks's Sake both in the present moment and in Brook's flashback
impel down: an injured bon clay trying to support luffy while ivankov heals him idk that one stuck with me a lot more than the fight scene
fishman island: you chose a great one but I think fisher tiger dying through tears because he just can't bring himself to have human blood inside him is just as iconic, as is the first time the name "joy boy" was dropped in the apology on the poneglyph
punk hazard: the pirates and marines coming together to save the kids and just reveling in that moment together while separated only by a thin line I think hits pretty hard
dressrosa: luffy discovering sabo was alive or maybe usopp's attack on sugar
"Raizo-dono is safe" is such an insanely perfect moment... My favorite One Piece moment
Crocodile saying “Mugiwara” was more iconic than the jet pistol in Impel Down
Gear 5th is probably the most iconic thing to come out of one piece but in my opinion the most iconic thing to me in wano was chapter 1000, I love it when oda takes forever to make one piece, one piece again by reminding us who luffy is as a person
I feel like Sanji’s “thanks I needed a light” was one of skypiea’s most iconic moments that or “this is an ordeal of love”
to me, the most iconic fishmen island moment is when koala was cleaning the deck not crying afraid of getting hurt
Dragon saving Luffy from Smoker is the most iconic moment from Loguetown.
Roger and his crew laughing takes it for me for Wano… the theme song playing… the crew’s elation…everything…we still don’t even know what it is for sure, but I think every true ONE PIECE fan felt the same joy after watching them celebrate
Egghead's most iconic moment is Kidd vs shanks 💀
@9:20 when you say: "self proclaimed God realized he is f*cked" LOL!
I would say "Help Me" is in the top tier even just among the iconic moments, because it was the first high water mark for such scenes. When it first came out, the power of the emotions were simply unprecedented. Things like Robin's declaration at Enies Lobby, punching the Celestial Dragon, and Ace's and Kuma's sacrifices have surpassed it in sheer impact, but "Help Me" primed the pumps - so to speak - preparing us for those future moments.
I also agree with OmegaSpartan08 that the ringing of the bell is the most iconic moment in Skypeia, and with syd7903 that Brook's flashback during the party is the most iconic moment on Thriller Bark.
Luffy dancing around the fire in Skypeia is such an obvious retcon
I can argue that water 7 has ussop vs Luffy as the most iconic moment, but there is also cp9 reveal.
I see why you brought Water 7 and Enies Lobby together but I think they're different enough to be considered separately.
So it's clear that they are different islands, but Enies Lobby is also about Robin and Water 7 is more about the ship, Usopp and Iceburg.
It wouldn't have been necessary for the video either, as Water 7 itself also has some iconic moments. Especially the fight and separation between Luffy and Usopp.
I also wanted to mention the walk and the destruction of Franky's house, Tom's speech and how Franky throws himself in front of the train. Enie's lobby is full of iconic moments anyway.
The Robin moment fits as the iconic but The death of Merry and Gear 2 should have been mentioned too. In Impel Down we have to mention the second encounter between Luffy and Blackbeard and the punch. Marine Ford “one piece is real” also needs to be mentioned. Whole cake you can still mention the moment where Jibei leaves the Big Mom crew and puts the sake bowl down. Wano still has the moment where Luffy arrives on the roof and ignores the two emperors and runs past them and shortly afterwards one punches kaido to the ground.
Afro luffy is the most iconic moment of long ring
A lot of people still don't know about the donut scene, so that thumbnail is insane Morj.
Don't catch a cold is also a memorable scene from baratie
