After the whole ordeal with Toei, it’s really nice to see Mark making more content on One Piece and Dragon Ball. Glad he can talk about them without any problems
So true
I know that Toei lost the claims, but I thought TNM was advised not to use any more of Toei's footage so that way he couldn't be re-accused of infringing on their rights. Did they reach another agreement after Mark won against the strikes?
@@EntityEntity I think it went in with RUclips blocking Mark’s video on Japan only
@@EntityEntity they made it to where his vids are blocked in japan so he can do whatever he wants without toei ruining anything
@@EntityEntity He said in his videos that he would be boycotting Toei and not make vids on one piece and the new dbs movie... Doesn't even adress why he does it
I still try to minimize wasting food to this day because of Sanji's backstory. This is also further expanded on in Otama's story later in the Wano arc. It is such a powerful message!
I have always liked cooking but after One Piece I wanted to pursue the culinary arts. I seriously considered moving to be closer to a culinary center in the US.
Me too!
I grew up poor with very little and sometimes no food at all at home. Then I got in trouble in my teens and ended up going to jail for a year. Between starving at home and starving in jail Sanjis story has always resonated with me. I've never been hungry to that extreme but appreciating the value of food over cash or anything else is defintely something I've known all my life.
@@brandoncook2371 Damn, that must have been rough to go through. I can definitely see how Sanji's story has touched your heart
@@brandoncook2371 It's because of things like that, that I refuse to let anybody I come across starve. Friends. Family. Complete strangers on the road. People who could be lying about being poor. I don't care. If I am able, I will make sure they have at least a little food.
I swear every time Mark talks about Enies Lobby he omits the fact that that's where we first get really introduced to the concept of the Void Century, Poneglyphs, as well as Robin's whole flashback with Jaguar D. Saul & Kuzan. Robin's flashback is like half the reason people love both her & that arc so much not just the fights.
We see a poneglyph in alabasta
@@conormurphy4328 yes we see it. Thats that
Enies Lobby expands so much on it with Robins flashback
@@ZombieSlayerrrrr your point? We see a poneglyph in alabasta and learn some things about them for the first time. Later surplus information doesn’t change that.
@@conormurphy4328 i know it’s a late response but i think he means that poneglyphs and the government are connected in that arc since it’s revealed that there was an ancient kingdom wiped out and the whole thing
@@Somepointwhocares so? We learn of the concept of the Poneglyphs in Alabasta as the comment said. It doesn’t matter what the interesting part is. The fact that a later arc recontextualizes the importance of the poneglyphs but not the concept changes nothing. They hold important information, we later find out that they have other important information. It doesn’t change the concept that they are stones that hold information.
Jaya is unironically my favorite arc. It is one of the few arcs that is actually about Luffy. Usually Luffy is doing things for the sake of his friends or for stopping injustices. In this arc it was all about Luffy and I think to some extent Oda doing what they wanted to do. I see so much of Oda in these chapters. I truly believe that it was these chapters where the end game of One Piece truly began to come together. Everything that happens after this arc just feels different
A man of culture
Thats when you realize how big this entire thing is. The whole journey and things straw hat will have to do to fulfill his goal.
Not gonna lie, I loved Teach from the moment he was introduced. And the mic drop that he was Blackbeard plus the fact that all of those psychopaths on the island were his crew is still my favorite moment in One Piece.
Based opinion. Jaya's so good
Very solid list. My only disagreement is Enies Lobby. Robin's declaration alone makes it God tier for me. I cry every single time I rewatch that scene, without exception.
go outside bro
@@hyperbrug9328 You have said something similar to this to multiple people in this same comment section.
Are they really the ones who need to get a life?
Also, I think it's funny that you told someone to "go read a book"... do you not realize... that one piece, is, in fact, a book?
@@heck6757 These type of people are always projecting lol
@@hyperbrug9328 go insider
Frankly, Robin and the end of the Going Merry. A ship burning had me in tears!
If Thriller Bark was not a part of One Piece and a one shot series about a group of pirates going to a haunted island, it would be a cult classic and considered a masterpiece.
The Brook backstory and the ridiculous amount of foreshadowing alone is worth an A class imo.
Same. I till today dont get the hate for thriller bark. It has always been in my top 2 and it will stay there forever.
@@GioHimonPro it's not in my top 3 but it's still bloody brilliant. Fishman island is another arc which gets hate despite being one of the most deep and beautifully written thematically.
I think its just pacing.. The main villain dragged out a bit, everything else was great!
I slept on thriller bark….
@@arsimdreshaj9837 bro I slept more on Fishman Island, the fact he put it at A, above thriller bark, makes me shat my pants
I started reading a week ago. The part in the Arlong Park where Luffy says "Let's go!" and it shows how close by they all already were and their faces ready to kick ass absolutely hooked me. I had literal chills from that panel.
Welcome to the family, hope you will enjoy the journey, adventure and mystery
oh dear, you've had everything spoiled for you now. :/
Bro you haven’t even made it to the grand line or the new world yet. Idc if that’s a spoil for you. You chose getting spoiled yourself so now you will pay the consequences
@@ShaquilleOatmeal755 Bro I caught up like 3 months ago XD. All good around here.
@@dillonwhite5790 dude i started watching one piece a year ago and im only on dressrosa
Skypia is legit my favourite because it's just so different and otherworldly, Noland and Kalgara's story is close to my heart too omg
I’m watching one piece rn, I bet it was better in the manga but in the anime I was having a hard time getting through it. I liked the G8 filler more that Skypia, but it’s imo.
I love the Noland and Kalgara part but everything else about Skypiea I just don't really like
Those little multi episode backstories are my favourite parts in arcs, they're such a nice break from the main excitement and I love it
Noland and Kalgara's friendship was amazing, and although we know the ending, it's still hard to watch them fall apart. The other moments similar to those like Robin's and Chopper's backstories are great breaks too.
And yes, the G-8 Filler Arc is amazing too, I saw that comment, but Skypiea was incredible.
I honestly believe that the Luffy vs Eneru fight is one of the funniest things I've ever watched so Sky Island is pretty good, considering its length and the fact it came right after Alabasta which was 30 episodes longer and has more impact on the plot.
@@Subpar1O1 literally 😭 it was such a shock and so memorable and I just love how short and sweet the whole arc was and then it turns out it's one of the most important for the story aahh so good
I think we can all agree that no matter which arc is your favorite, One Piece is one of the greatest stories to ever exist.
Facts 👏🏾
wubba dubba dub is that true?
No cap
@@andresortiz4707 fr fr
@Arab Man69__ no no
It feels so good to hear Mark say "THE BIG CHAIR" again after everything that happened. I love how not a one Arc made it to D-Tier for Mark either. This is a good trip down the One Piece memory hole.
Everyone should go back around and watch the reviews again.
what happened?
@@guysensei3867 Toei tried to erase the poor guy
Toei pointed at Mark’s house and put an X over it.
@@maxspecs 💀💀
@@maxspecs that chapter was so crazy
32:56 I think the reason a lot of people didn't like the Dressrosa arc is because it went on for SO LONG while it was being actively released, where as binging it felt a lot more fun, as opposed to Wano where so many things were happening, that watching it weekly felt more exciting even though it was quite a bit longer lol
yeah i binged it and it’s my favorite post time skip arc so far
Exactly.
Dressrosa felt so painful the first time I read it, 3 full years of publishing was so tiring for that arc. Even made me take a break from one piece.
But when I read it again, the whole arc in 2 days, it felt so action packed and intense. Really shows that the first experience doesn’t really translate to the quality of the arc.
@@ethancollinsworth3927 I love this arc too! Maybe my favorite of all post time skip. The way people believed in the government, Dflamingo is unbelievable, gear 4, god Usopp, flame fruit fighting… GODA tier 100%
ironic, because when reading through all at once I think Dressrosa's 2nd half is paced much better than Wano's. It manages to keep up a constant feeling of forward momentum which just sucks you in, and which the Raid on Onigashima really struggles with once the fighting gets started.
I binged it but it was still absolutely painful, I swear the Bellamy jumping around scene happened 4 or 5 times without any development. So frustrating. It had a lot of peaks but so many pitfalls
Whole cake is so slept on it’s honestly one of the best arcs in the series, top 3
Hey Mark idk if you’ll see this but watching those weekly One Piece arc reviews got me into the show/manga and I cannot thank you enough! Thank you for your content and sharing this work of art with me
Kinda the same, I started it, then watched all the reviews, then began to properly try to get caught up
As a One Piece enjoyer, welcome aboard!!!
@@JefflezZz I’m completely caught up now! Both with the manga and the anime and I don’t regret a second
same
Same here. I literally wouldn't have taken the One Piece dive without Mark's first OP review video. Now it's my second favorite manga lol.
I still can´t believe Mark didn´t get spoiled Ace dying at Marineford. I can´t imagine a more popular anime spoiler than this one and escaping the internet is almost impossible while working on social media as him does.
i never watched a ep or read a chapter of op and I knew of ace death,
@@jacobcrsn and what are you doing here wtf? i also wasnt spoiled
@@classical7370 ? What lol
I played Burning Blood because I was curious about One Piece and technically got spoiled that way.
I got all deaths spoiled because of memes but I don’t care, I’m still watching and loving it
I think your underselling Thriller Bark here, it has alot of strong things going for it. We get the intro to Brook and his horribly tragic backstory. Usopp get's a real cool chance to shine and show how much he's grown since rejoining the crew.The fight with oars is such a thrill ride and Kuma was a great foreshadowing of what's to come for Sabaody,
I think you're just underestimating how much the sanji stuff is affecting his opinion. Personally it wasn't a problem to me, because it's sanji, but mark said in his proper review that he may have misunderstood what sanjis character was up until that point.
@@diccchocolate416 Yeah but here's the thing EVERY anime or japanese game does the pervert is funny joke. Do I like it no but it's one of those things where Japan just thinks it's acceptable and so if your going to consume media from them you've gotta know this joke is like 80% likely to show up. The thing that matters is if a charachter has other things going for them besides that and how bad they get.
Sanji is a very well rounded chrarachter despite the joke and the perviness does'nt get nearly as bad as say Mineta. For the most part Oda is very good about showing restraint with him.
Cough cough egghead foreshadowing
22:08 The One Piece Wiki may count the Post-Enies Lobby Arc as a separate story arc, and that might be based on some kind of fan consensus, but if you look at it in terms of story structure, it is obviously just the epilogue of the 120-chapter long Water 7/Enies Lobby Arc, just like Mark says. The shorter arcs leading up to Alabasta had very obvious beginnings and endings, but the transition from Water 7 to Enies Lobby (The Sea Train) is best viewed as a second act action sequence which keeps its steam (pun partially intened) well into the start of Enies Lobby, culminating in the climax of Act Two, the burning of the flag. I doubt Oda would consider these separate story arcs.
As a sidenote, the only other gripe I have with the Fanon Story Arc division is that I think the Post-War/Grey Terminal Arc is clearly just the long epilogue of Marineford rather than an arc in it's own right. Otherwise I'd say it fairly accurately catches where one story ends and the next begins.
It's all fan made Oda doesn't separate the story by island arcs he separates them by sagas. On this topic I don't see why people separate water seven and enies lobby, they are literally 2 halves of the same story. I will be quite annoyed if these same people insist on separating wano and onigashima as separate arcs.
This is why I always pair Jaya/Skypiea and Water 7/Enies Lobby + Post as if they were one arc, I think they flow and feel better than way, at least for me personally.
@@MugenHeadNinja I can see the argument for Jaya/Skypiea as well, but personally I consider them separate, because the Strawhats leave behind the sidecast of Jaya as they blast off into Skypiea. Likewise, Enel has no impact on Jaya despite being the main villain of Skypiea. (contrast Water 7/Enies Lobby, where you have the same villains and sidecast for the whole 120 chapters).
I guess the only real criteria is whether or not the arc feels like a self-contained story with a beginning and an ending. For me, the answer is yes for Skypiea but no for Enies Lobby. And by that logic, I guess would lump Impel Down together with Marineford/Post-War as well, despite the different setting.
@@n00bowser A small counter-point, the whole climax of the Enel fight had Luffy ringing the Golden Bell which concluded Montblanc Cricket and his monkey buddies story thread, confirming to them that Sky Island was real and that his ancestor Noland wasn't a liar.
@@fleskhjertafan93 well, Onigashima is on Wano, while Enies Lobby is not on Water 7.
For me, Brook's story and character made Thriller Bark amazing. (So about an A Tier.) Also I love Usopp and Kaya's story and it's always fun to watch her reaction to Sogeking's bounty.
I really enjoyed Thriller as well and by god, Brook was an automatic favorite char.
Im a sucker for the Halloween aesthetic.
For me it’s the kuma stuff that puts it over. I have never seen a bigger demonstration of loyalty than zoro willing to give up his life for luffy
Brooks backstory is imo THE most tragic of the strawhats. He had to spend *50 years* alone on a ship with the rotting decaying corpses of his nakama... That would drive anyone mad, and so many people sleep on that fact :')
I will make one argument for Drum Kingdom being befitting of the A tier or higher despite the rough orientation in the manga.
This is the first time we see exactly how far Luffy will go for a friend.
In prior fights he always went all out, of course, even nearly dying three separate times two of which he Smiled through, and he's always been a fearless character. But he refused to even fight back on the Chance his extra motion might hurt or kill Nami in her weakened state, something he's only ever done on one other occasion to date (with a completely different premise granted), climbed a mountain bare-handed, bleeding, frozen, and by the end barely conscious, on death's door facing his only chance of life when chopper investigates, and the only thing he can think to do is ask him to save his friends.
Obvious over explanation is obvious, but I strongly consider this to be a paramount example of Luffy as a character, both for future plots and overall motivations.
This was so satisfying Mark. I felt that you truly are invested in One Piece, I agreed with 98% of the rankings! except for like 2. Great video and I can't wait to see more!
I caught up to One Piece in dressrosa years ago, I remember going through impel down and Marineford in like 2 days and it was all one big gigantic amazing marathon 🤣
Arlong park was an fantastic arc that brought plenty and different emotions to the table..
There where epic moments..but also sad moments..
Also it gave one of the most iconic scenes in the story "Luffy placing his straw hat on nami's head"
I’m really scared about how Netflix’s One Piece will handle that scene in the live action series more than anything else
@@Zistheone2 they gonna make luffy and nami kiss im calling it
@@Mr.Murphy2802 Either that or they might take that moment away from Luffy and so Nami could be Hollywood's portrayal of a "strong female character" like Rei or Captain Marvel. Nami’s a great character, a bad@$$ in & out of battle, and one of my favorites in One Piece, but she needs to be helpless and rely on the guys for this specific moment in order for Arlong Park to work thematically
And then “Overtaken” after that, f’n legendary
@@Zistheone2 ik its been a year but howd you like it
Long ring long long is fine in the Manga. But in the anime the Davy back fight is twice as long.
The anime also moves the Aokiji encounter to a separate island entirely, he was supposed to be the one to help the old stilts man return to his people.
And that means twice the goodness! I know this is unpopular, but I loved the anime Davy Back fight. A funny antagonist with some creative competitions that aren´t straight up fighting. Also just the crew hanging out and being zany for a bit. The more we go towards endgame in One Piece, the more I become an old man telling the youth to slow down and smell the roses, we have less and less time for the crew just being friends.
@@mittelz5976 i think that part is fine but personally i hated foxy and it just felt so slow to me.
@@PandyEX. That´s absolutely fair, I bet the vast majority agrees with you. Foxy just clicked with me for some reason. But I think he also falls into the category of people with cool powers that make terrible use of them, like Mr. 5 for example, so that doesn´t help his case either.
@@mittelz5976 the antagonist doesn't define how good an arc is. The arc is full of plot holes and tries to be full of jokes but ends up becoming the joke. Then falling absolutely flat on its face. F tier. No debate
Mark I just wanted to say during your read of one piece I would wait weekly in anticipation for your review due to my love of the series. You got me through a rough time of my life so thank you. I stared it in 4th grade and I’m not going into my senior year and one piece truly has changed my life and effected how I go about things and view things.
I do want to say about Thriller Bark; like Skypiea, it's themes are becoming much more relevant in the current arc. Thriller Bark reinforces how this is an adventure story first and foremost. This is about exploring the world, building and developing your world view and character, and a theme is "one must have an understanding of the world if they want to influence it." And in ThrillerBark Luffy doesn't have a world view that can compete with Moriahs. Battles in One Piece are battles of philosophy and ideals and much as strengths, and in ThrillerBark Luffy is fundamentally wrong about the world. He isn't ready to lead it, because he doesn't understand it. When he's fighting Croc, he keeps getting up because Croc is wrong. Slavery, bad. But Moriah is just doing his job as a privateer. He provides a fundamental job for the stability of the world, and Luffy wants to destabilize that. Luffy doesn't know what that would do to the world, and it arguably doesn't need done. And that's why Luffy lost. Moriah, however pathetic and defeated, was right.
And what's better, the man who fought Moriah and taught him his understanding of the world, is the same man Luffy is currently fighting. Moriah was trying to teach luffy what Kaido taught him, and Luffy lost because Moriah was right. Luffy didn't understand the world, but now he does. He saw the fall of a Yonko at Marine Ford. He knows exactly what this means for the world. And now he's fighting the man he was metaphysically opposing in ThrillerBark. This is amazing writing. Making Kaido the background development of Moriahs character, and having that be where Luffy loses a battle of philosophy, and then having Luffy fight the person who beat the person who beat him to show how much he's grown?!?! Amazing stuff.
I hope this made sense at 3a.m.
One Piece started its journey in July of 1997. A month later, I was born. Having literally grown up with this series, the chaotic mix of emotions I feel knowing that One Piece is nearing its series climax is... Impossible to describe. All I can say is, thank you Eiichiro Oda for the modern epic you have created!
Around 3 months ago i started reading OP again. I had stopped over a decade ago in Alabasta. Friend convinced me to give it another shot and im now at Whole Cake Island. Great series with only a few low points.
I teared up so many times during this video. You and your editor are amazing story tellers holy moly. Every arc brought me right back
Man watching this whole video and just really seeing how many arcs there are and remembering how much I watched and the feelings I felt during each arc. really takes me back I binged the series like crazy. I wish I savored it and maybe slowed down a little, I truly miss it with all my heart its a feeling I cant explain,I love this series. Thank you GODDAAAA!!!
I’ve been waiting for more One Piece content from Mark and now it’s here… THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER 🙌
Editor-san, putting Sandstorm quietly in the background with shots of Crocodile was funnier than it had any right to be, lmao
I started watching One Piece On June 27th, 2022. As of July 6th, I am finished with Arlong Park and It was all an emotional roller coaster for me but I genuinely enjoyed it. Fillers and drag-on episodes aside, It amazed me how well these episodes hold up today and how such an adventurous and high-spirited anime like this are sort of rare nowadays.
I don't normally read manga, but I will try since I intend to learn everything about One Piece.
Bro said Thriller bark < Foxy 😂
I love that you start using the Okami OST "The Sun Rises" when the video gets to the Wano arc. Thank you for using God tier music in a God tier video, Editor-san!
Such a classic game not many talk about (,: one of my all time favs
One thing I will always appreciate about Syrup Village is realizing that the Pussyfoot Maneuver is just an untrained and uncontrolled Shave.
The realization that the 6 powers were set up this far back floored me.
Kuro could be a CP0 agent probably if he didn't worry about stupid stuff and plans like he had in Syrup Village
@@SamTheGumMan117 kuro is just a lazy bastard at heart
@@SamTheGumMan117 no he couldn’t, he’s weak af.
@@slycooper2bandofthieves116 Yeah he definitely could if he affixed to training and stay focused on the bigger picture instead of coming up with dumb plans even though his IQ is on the high end
In terms of In-universe story, yes it was set up back then, but speaking from real world writers perspective, Oda did not have the idea for the 6 powers or the CP9 back then
To me my two favorite arcs so far are Thriller Bark and Impel Down arcs.
Thriller bark really made me get back into reading the manga and Impel down is madly underrated.
I remember going to a nearby Barnes and noble after school and smelling the coffee and ambient lighting while reading one piece. Ahh good times
love to hear you talking about One Piece again. really enjoy your spin on the content. keep up the great work and look forward to any future videos
Thriller bark being in C is upsetting to see, but completely understandable. It's not for everyone. I will say however, it is the only arc that managed to make me cry and that's PURELY because of Brooke's little exchange at the end there and the flashbacks where we see of him in complete isolation and in misery.
Thriller Bark feels so underrated to me, it’s an absolute delight
I forgave him because he put more than half the arcs in God tier or S
Moria was the worst protagonist in the series
Thriller Bark, and Skypiea, are just so adventurous and fun and they're so underappreciated for that. Though honestly what makes TB low for me is all the Absalom stuff. If not for that, it's such a great arc.
Did you not cry in Marineford
Man, it's good to have you back in tge One Piece fandom! I was so surprised when I've gotten the notification that you've posted a new One Piece video. And I think, most of us agrees that this is your personal preference and nobody should ever argue on your own opinions
I really love your script writing and your reviews and how much better you got at it like how you praised dressrosa and put it in A (something that would trigger some people) and made a seemless transition into the next part. Really nice video
I still find it a little funny that when Wapol was first introduced he just started eating the going merry
For a bit of info. Long ring long land was sort of butchered in the anime. They not only turned one davy back fight into two, but dragged it out with additional (not that great) filler afterwards before meeting Aokiji.
....And despite that i still love the anime adaptation of this arc
Yeah, it is so annoying seeing people who watch the anime hate the arc itself. It is awesome in the manga.
And without the anime, what did the foxy pirates part add positively to one piece? I cannot think of anything and an afro-luffy is not a good answer. I thought foxy pirates were just a bad filler arc. It is a bad arc, because it drags on and has no tension and it is filler because it does not do any worldbuilding, character building or progresses the story in anyway.
@@oguzcanoguz5977 So, there are a few things i can say about your statement.
Firstly. A lack of tensions does not necessarily have to be a bad thing. If everything was tense all the time, it would get stale very fast. Long land is supposed to be the calm before the storm that is water 7 and Enies lobby.
Secondly. The concept of Davy back fights being common knowledge among pirates gives us insight into certain parts of pirate culture. It reinforces the fact that the way the straw hats work as a crew is not at all the standard in the world, and that many other captains beside Luffy (and some other) would not hesitate betting members if it meant a chance at stronger crewmates to give them a greater chance of survival in the grand line.
Thirdly. Character wise, it reinforced the fact that this crew is like family to each other. Choppers cry that he refused to sail the seas with anyone other than the straw hats, or Luffy’s determination to not lose a single crew member. It was all to set up some of the themes that would be played in water 7 with robin.
Finally, it set the standard that luffy is not going to be able to win every fight so cleanly anymore. He was barely able to outlast crocodile and was able to take out Enel efficiently, but he won against foxy thanks to a fluke. as much as I can meme on foxy as a character, he did put up a good fight against luffy in his own shrewd way. And had luffy not gotten lucky with the mirror shard, he might have gotten even closer to losing than ever before. He then proceeded to lose outright to aokiji. Almost every major fight after foxy leaves luffy either unconscious or unable to continue without the aid of his friends. Aokiji, Lucci, Moria, Magelan to name a few. It is what sents in motion the idea that the crew might not be ready for the new world, a message which is set in stone in Sabaody.
@@MegaShingo97 ...and that's completely fine. I'm not going to tell you that you're wrong for liking a piece of media despite its flaws. Everyone has their own tastes.
Orange Town Will Be Remembered As The First Battle Between 2 of The Yonko And I Find That Hilarious.
It was not the first time they battled, though.
@@fabricionunes4697 isn't it? Luffy and Buggy didn't fight before Orange Town did they?
Oh sorry, I mixed up Orange Town with Loguetown, you're totally on the right!
I disagree with Water 7 > Enies Lobby because of story... The action wasn't the best part of Enies Lobby either. I really found the story to be the best part of Enies Lobby BY FAR. Nico Robin's back story is one of the most impactful character backstories I have ever seen, and her own character arc during the story itself is so satisfying. I also cannot get over how great of a moment it is to see all the Straw hats ready to directly defy the entire world government and save their friend, who doesn't even want to be saved. Such a great message.
The Water 7 saga is definitely still my favourite saga in all of One Piece, and mostly because of Enies Lobby.
It is so nice to see you gushing about one piece again ^^ Your reviews about the story were absolutely addicting!
Ps. Plz tell editor-San, that they are amazing!!
One of the best One Piece reviewers is back in action!
I am happy to get onboard again with you in these seas Mark! KAMPAI
Thank you again for getting me back into one piece Mark. I took a break halfway through dressrosa and picked it back up after you started covering the manga.
One piece is very special to me and I’m so grateful to have it back in my life. So thank you. Can’t wait to see your review for Wano.
YES HES GONNA DO THE WANO PT 4 VIDEO! Mark, when I was watching (and eventually now reading) One Piece for the first time a year ago, your videos were the absolute perfect footnote to the end of the arcs, 95% of your takes and opinions were literally mirrored with me. I loved the videos and have rewatched them dozens of times. I'm so glad we're finally getting it 😭
Love you, Mark, so glad you were able to come back
This was thoroughly entertaining. I can't wait to start actually watching One Piece with these narrative things to look out for. Huge thumbs up as usual Mark!
Woah. Wasnt expecting a OP vid. Gonna get all the work done before watching this one comfortably
Arlong park made me a fan of the show for life. "The walk to arlong park" is a legendary scene. When the guy said remember these 4 faces.... ahhhhh the chills. God tier show
I remember a couple years back I was watching one of your videos and you seemed really overworked and on edge. You look so much healthier now, I'm glad to see that!
This video reminded me laboon is the final villain, luffy promised to have a fight with him when they came back, laboon is rooftop level why do you think we haven’t heard about any new pirates coming up in the last two years? No one’s making it past our whale
Good to see that TNM have good taste, the way he actually liked the funny and extremely humorous Long Ring Long Land arc
Very entertaining video, but the hype for the DeathNote Video is on another level for me now! Been waiting for this since you Colossal Review on AOT, and.. man... cant wait :D
People sleep on One Piece for it’s length…when you watch it, you truly feel as if it’s too short. Or hell when you read it y’know? Hearing Mark’s opinions makes me smile because it just feels like pure enjoyment.
Hey Mark, if you ever feel ambitious enough, it would be cool to see a tier list of specifically the iconic moments from both One PIece and Dragon Ball going over their context, impact, quotability, etc.
This is crazy I literally rewatched you OP reviews and thouhg hmm been 2 years but I'm can feel the next video comming
The title from whole cake island at 35:08, shoulve been the title for marineford. Great tier list btw.
Another big shot. This video was so dope keep making vidos mark plz
This really made me want to say a thought I've had regarding wider OP discussion for a while, I really hate the way that people separate arcs of the series. There's so many points where it feels like pieces of arcs are arbitrarily cut apart. The Water Seven saga is the most egregious case of this. Separating them into Water Seven, Enies Lobby and Post-Enies Lobby implies that each of those are complete stories on their own, when they're in actuality all parts of one whole, and it's really frustrating to see that be the common consensus. It's the same way I feel about people separating the Android and Cell arcs of Dragon Ball.
Absolutely agree, it feels really weird and quite frankly wrong for people to separate the arcs just because “oh they left the island” yeah but it’s still the same story arc so???
But arcs and sagas are different. For example, the android arc and cell arc may be seperate but the wider community brings both arcs together and calls it the android saga. Similarly, while water 7, enies lobby and post enies lobby are all seperate arcs, the OP community calls it the water 7 saga
I know I am really late, but this can easily be fixed by separating into sagas. Water 7 saga and Dressrosa saga are both great examples because they have their connected arcs (W7, EB, PEB and Punk Hazard, Dressrosa). Summit War saga is also a good example because it doesn't rely on any of the arc names for the saga name
You have read one piece, naruto and dragonball. You reviewed once the music of dragonball and gave me, someone who has NO IDEA about music aside from just loving tracks, an idea about some theory and why things are working great and some don't.
What I personally would love would be a video where you analyze music from dragonball, one piece and naruto and compare them to each other. Each of them has its own music type, it is totally different, so that might be interesting. Would one piece music work for dragonball? (etc. etc.)
Just wanted to say every TNM review feels so alive with Editor San. I enjoy the dynamic of the 2
Out of all of the things in all of your One Piece videos, nothing will ever get me quite like "THE BIG CHAIR [DUNNNNNNNN]". It sends me every time.
that scene of robin saying "i want to live" gets me even to this day. it's way deeper than it has any right to be and i got through that arc at a rough time in my life. robin is waifu for life-u
Corny in the moment and yamato better
@@KyubiCloaks that's my opinion.
@@jimihatten1958 ok? Thanks captain obvious, and thats mine
@@KyubiCloaks i don't see the problem.
An old comment from me about the Fight between Zoro and Luffy at Whisky Peak: For me the fight between Zoro and Luffy was very important. Luffy thought that Zoro disrespected the locals and didn't appreciate hospitality. Luffy is the captain and has to "punish" his friends when they make mistakes. Of course it wasn't a mistake by Zoro at the end of the day, which Luffy didn't know, but it was about a very important topic: hospitality
Yeah I think we've seen the lengths Luffy goes for people who feed him. I don't know if it was out of character or a way of Oda showcasing this aspect. Also Luffy still had a lot to learn about being Captain as we learned in Water 7/Enies Lobby. Or this is my head canon to explain a plot point, either way.
It was just an excuse to have Zoro and Luffy fight, it was as was said in the video one of Ora’s rare mistakes of characterization. It wasn’t a good luffy scene.
I think I remember in one interview Oda talking about this and saying that he was being pressured to have Luffy and Zoro fight which is what gave cause to that scene
It was because we know that Luffy trusts his crew he didn't believe that Nami killed ussop why he would believe that Zoro attacked them for no reason?? It was dumb and out of Luffy's character, he didn't even believe that Robin betrayed them in water 7 and Robin was an outsider and not really someone you should trust
But the problem arises that quite similarly in Arlong Park, where Johnny AND Yosaku tell that Nami killed Usopp Luffy straight out *refused* to believe them(even though he knew that both of them were good people as he had travelled with them for a short while) because he had faith in his "crewmate" which nami did not consider herself since the begining and even betrayed them by taking away their boat in baratie yet Luffy chose to have faith in Nami and listen to what she has to say.
Now back to the whiskey peak fight, luffy just asked who did it and some random guy he met just that night told him zoro and Luffy instantly went into a rage strong enough where he admittedd he was trying genuinely to kill zoro when asked. Even though he knew zoro longer than nami(sure not by much but my point still stands). I mean he even heard and accepted zoro's vow of not losing ever again(in baratie) solidifying them both as partners in crime till the end of time so yeah I passionately(as evident by how long this paragraph went) agree with mark's point that this fight was heavily uncharacteristic of Luffy.
I started in August and just caught up to the current chapter and now I can finally watch your videos! (I was afraid of the algorithm feeding me spoilers)
I've only finished East Blue today but I really like that Warship Island filler arc before Reverse Mountain. It gave plenty of action for what it was, and that scene of Luffy cutting a warship in half with just his foot was just amazing. I really liked the fights all the other Straw Hats got too, like Usopp's fight against that fishman and Zoro's fight against Mihawk. East Blue's such a great first saga to start this series off with
Warship island snuck up on me because I didn't have a filler list to abide by but I still found it to be fine for a filler arc. In the end it felt like it could've been it's own movie with some pacing adjustments. G-8 was the only one that I enjoyed the others were too much of a clipshow.
Lmao that edit of the Peaky Blinders scene had me full-on belly laughing. Well done, editor-san
Damnit, that cover of Kokoro No Chizu alone has me in tears. God I love One Piece so much. Thank you for doing your review and making me appreciate it even more.
These edits are classssss
Great vid thanks bro
More generous than I was expecting. Hopefully the final part of the story is as good as we hope. Good to see OP content back on the channel
GOD BLESS THE EDITOR FOR THAT ENDING!!! I really damn well hope you conclude the Wano arc. I wanna hear your take on what happened. The reveal, the battle, all of it was beyond anything the series had seen.
God, just seeing the Merry gather everyone up one last time makes me want to cry. SUCH A GOOD SCENE!
Mark that’s perfect timing with the death note review I’m just getting up to black edition 6 and finishing up the story, it’s amazing
I love this. All of it, thank god all of these rankings really came from the heart, I loved the quick yet somewhat detailed summaries of what you liked about them in mere seconds. But then, there’s one of if not my favorite arc, Skypiea, finally getting love on a tierlist. I honestly thought I was the only one who thought Skypiea was an astonishing arc, while I never connected to the discovery of America, I still felt so refreshed and whimsical watching that arc, more than any other arc, and yeah I watched it in anime! I have no idea why so many people call it slow paced other than the one before it being insanely fast paced. Love it, thank you for all this new, interesting, and entertaining content , Mark.
It’s fun to see completely different opinions for some of these arcs where I would put Whisky Peak as one of my favorites and little garden as a b tier
Yeah 😂 I mean I have seen people quit on middle of alabasta everything is possible
I want to add a small critique of what you said, or rather maybe just my own perspective. In Whiskey Peak, Luffy attacking Zoro wasn't as out of character as you think. Throughout the Alabasta Saga, Luffy is constantly learning about the outside world and how to act as a better captain. I think Oda wanted us to see this as Luffy learning to always trust in his crew by making the mistake of being naive and trusting someone else over them. We all make that mistake in our youth so it's fitting Luffy make it too. Overall, I really like Whiskey Peak so perhaps I'm biased lol.
It's just really odd after Arlong Park. We saw how much Luffy's trust went with Nami, despite the latter having betrayed the former. Seeing a much lesser reason cause Luffy to fight his first mate is really weird.
I think the thing most people miss about that fight is that, really, it's a gag fight. It's a gag fight in disguise of a serious fight. I didn't realize this until I started reading it with friends. It's actually really hilarious the way Luffy overreacts and how so focused Luffy and Zoro are to each other that they're not even noticing the "real" villains of the arc.
@@samt3412 Exactly , like if it was before arlong park it may be somewhat believable but after that it just feels so out of character
@@uknownadayeah, I remember Luffy fighting with a piece of meat? and full stomach, while being pissed off. Doesn’t seem like a serious fight to me at all
The zoro and luffy fight had me confused as well when I first read it but then I realized it was really just a gag. I call it the "protag team fighting among themselves while the villains get their asses kicked when they try to take advantage of the situation" gag which you can see in some other shounen or anime
binged 40 episode yesterday, ending Skypiea Arc, it is the no.1 arc in my list. So beautiful and emotional story of Noland.
i skipped the end i just could not finish it, im glad someone enjoyed it
Man, I'm really not a fan of breaking down arcs into "post" arcs or into smaller ones. People often split Water 7 and Enies Lobby, but it's all one story arc. Luffy and Usopp, Robin, Franky, and Merry stay continuously relevant from the beginning of water 7 until the end of Enies Lobby. The city of gold and ringing the bell are relevant from Jaya until the end of Skypeia. Everything "post war" is just more story stuff from the war.
Exactly like there’s 10 chapters after Doffy is defeated but nobody is like that’s the Post-Dressrosa Arc
@@RonquixoteDIII my thought is that both of the “post arcs” take place on a different island than the one before though. Post Ennies Lobby takes place back on water 7 island, and post-marineford takes place on luffy’s time skip island (forgot it’s name forgive me). There’s no need for a “post Dressrosa” because they never even got off the island, so it was obviously thematically relevant to everything else on the island
Why so mad bozo
@@RonquixoteDIII It depends Post EL deserves its own arc
And makes sense dividing EL and W7
@@royalfun1031 officially that is know as water 7 arc, there is not Enies Loby arc
I was a lil afraid Alabasta might have not made Goda tier, but she pulled through. Alabasta is IMO, the best Arc in one piece.
No best saga
Albasta, Water seven, enes Lobby, marineford, impel down and arlong park are my favorite arcs pre timeskip
I know every arc of one piece feels like liberating an island, but god damn when theres an arc that isnt that its incredible
i'm sharing almost every opinions with you (how touched i was by skypiea and water 7, the story, the impact it left on me) and it's a breath of fresh air seeing this video as a long time one piece fan. and ofc we know exactly what arcs are good and what arcs are PEAK FICTION.
The problem with Dressrosa is that it's too long of a runtime, with too little time passing in universe. Dress Rosa, when it was published weekly, took about 2.5ish years to finish, for a total in universe duration of like 3 days. That made many people who read it weekly very much fed up with it. Now, if you read it all in one go, you don't feel that. You're sitting down one day and finish the whole thing by the time you go to bed. But now imagine having to wait week after week for years, sometimes with chapters that have nothing happen within them pretty much.
I watched Dressrosa and the anime somehow makes it worse. it's almost as many episodes as chapters which is a big problem
DUDEEEE, I literally just finished re-reading Deathnote and was thinking "Huh, Mark should review this. Not the typical action based stuff he does but I'd love to see it."
SUPER HYPED for the review!!!
this video reminded me of my favorite episode of one piece: 151. its the episode we see the iconic bellamy punch on jaya, and we are introduced to characters like doffy, kuma, sengoku, tsuru, whitebeard, etc. its also the same episode where the blackboard pirates are shown for the first time as a crew. one of the best world building episodes in the whole show and in all of anime IMO
Welcome back 👑
Totally agree with you! Every arc spot on where I would put them🔥
Bruh da vid only been out for 3 minutes
Syrup Village and Foxy over Punk Hazard? Zou and Baratie over Dressrosa?
@@memeduka derserossa is easily s tier best vilian in the seris with tons of cool charcthers like 5 backstories that are very good easily s tier or even above punk hazard isnt that bad its set up alot of things to derserosa smile and tons of other bullshit
@@memeduka punk hazard is the worst arc in one piece
@@Maxpain350 Orange Town/Syrup Village takes that spot.
I’m currently rewatching one piece as I stopped at punk hazard like 10 years ago lol, and being able to re experience it again is just amazing, it’s such a magical experience.
and I can’t wait to see all the godly arcs again like water seven, ennies lobby, marineford etc, and eventually the much later arcs like wano 🙏.
i also loved amazon lily but it seems no one ive talked to or seen yt videos of agree, good to see we're on the same page!
I swear nothing gets me more excited for a video like makes end of video cliff hangers like luffy’s laugh
I gotta say, I completely agree with you on Drum Island.
The first time i read One Piece, was loving it, but I just bounced straight off Drum Island. Stopped reading and didn't restart for months, something about it just didn't catch me at all. Felt like I was forcing myself to read through it when i returned later.
Get ready for controversy
That Thriller Bark placement is gonna start an immense battle in the comments
One piece feels like a perfect anime for someone like me to watch. I only recently started it but I've absolutely enjoyed it since the start
Im not caught up to wano so im just watching the arcs i have finished. I really appreciate how u don’t spoil foreshadowing and stuff from the arcs i have watched and talk about it like u just watched it aswell.
You mean catch up with the show lol it ain't over yet mate 🤣😂
@@redflagy8 Ye no shit but im talking about being caught up to where it is rn
Oda does character development very weirdly for me. Instead of having gradual development, it feels a lot like the characters shift majorly in one moment rather then subtly over time (see brook after pedro, sanji on wci, robin and usopp in water 7/ eneis lobby… really just the whole crew)
I would absolutely agree with you if it weren’t for Luffy’s existence. Throughout the story, Luffy’s strengths (his sheer empathy and friendliness) and his weaknesses (his idiocy and tendency to choose whatever headstrong, reckless choice at the time) are sprinkled throughout, and Luffy’s character development to me, truly explodes during the Marineford Saga, where he tastes true, utter failure by losing Ace. It is not until then that Luffy becomes fully confident and decisive in his abilities.
Isn’t that how humans work? They don’t gradually change over time, often they change from one specific moment in their life
A lot of human beings go through significant changes at specific big moments in their lives, human growth isn’t as gradual as you would think
In my opinion gradual character development works in some story but if u have a long serialization like one piece, i think putting an already developed character(s) works better than putting a gradual character development. One piece has character development, sure, but oda emphasized more to the scenerio of: "what if this developed character put in this kind of situation?" Kinda thing. Which is in my opinion is an easier(of course still hard though considering that this is a weekly serialization) scenario to write and works well with everything thats going on with one piece either situational comedy, dramas, politics, and scenarios like that in one piece, like the story writes itself if i put it simply.
Sabody Archipelago for me is the best arc. Just Non-stop development. It increased the scope of the story to a a very big extent. Also Luffy lamenting loss is a genuinely one of the best scene of the series.
Bro🔥, you got me in the ending
🔥😁🔥
Glad to see the Arlong Park love!
