As sad as this scene is you really have to respect kuma for looking out for the straw hats if he didn't separate them they would've surly died in the new world
hahahha thats what i was thinking..they got 2 years to train and on same lvl as law and kid..+ they have plot armor cause its anime about them..@@emperortime2356
Died at the new world??? If Kuma would't have showed up here, the strawhats would all have died in this scene. Rayleigh only hold back Kizaru. There was still Sentomaru and 2 Pacifista around.
@@emperortime2356not all of them. I mean like 3 of them got enslaved by Kaido, one had to become a warlord (better then the other 3 ig) and i forgot his name but the mafia guy had to work under big mom. Luffy isnt the type to work under an emperor and to survive the new world most of them were forced to that, so them doing ‘just fine’ kinda seems like an understatement😭
2:06 This moment hits harder after 1102. This was undoubtedly Kuma's greatest middle finger to the World Government after God Valley. When you think of all the good the Straw Hats have done after the timeskip, even losing his free will, he was indirectly responsible for the liberation of Dressrosa, Wano, Punk Hazard, and Fishman Island. Kuma will always be the Straw Hat's greatest ally
Greatest act of heroism? Over liberating a country twice, saving his daughter’s life in place of his own, being one of the founding members of the revolutionary army, and taking the pains of the elderly week after week?
@@sepehragah3225 Yeah because saving the Strawhats would inadvertently lead to an end to the whole regime of the Celestials which will happen at the end of the story. The Strawhats saved more kingdoms after this too because Kuma saved them. Fishmen island, Wano, Zou, Dressrosa which would never have happened if Kuma hadn't saved them here. Saving the Strawhats is ironically Kumas most impactful middle finger to the world government.
Also this Kuma backstory confirms that Dragon was indirectly in some way helping the strawhats, i mean, we can say that he "save" luffy more than only one time
Luffy absolutely breaking not only broke our hearts, but also Kuma's. But Kuma had to do it. He was the Tutorial Boss to show the player wasn't ready yet.
I love Kuma's face at 2:06 knowing what we know now, you can see his shock and discomfort seeing Luffy openly weeping at the sudden vanishing of all his closest comrades in the blink of an eye, he's almost remorseful for what he did, but finding out he did it to save them, to help them train themselves to be stronger and face the new world, his fatherly heart must have ached seeing a young man crying for the loss his friends. What a scene man, what a scene.
It feels like the sadness I had for the Strawhats was crushed underneath the sadness I now have for Kuma. Rewatching this will be so hard, especially if I get family to watch it. They're going to be so confused why I'm bawling my eyes out
Ong he did. He went from barely beating Gecko Moria to being able to overwhelm Doflamingo. If Luffy and everyone went to Fishman Island, the Hody Jones group would defeat the Straw Hats. I like to think that if the timeskip didn’t happen, Hody and his boys would be OP. What’s insane is that despite the pills, Luffy and Zoro could mid diff him.
I used to think Luffy was so arrogant and annoying but after this episode I realized he was always just confident and knew that he could back it up. He never once told his crew to run but watching him do that this episode and how much he suffered at losing them showed me how truly humble he always was. I was so wrong about him and he completely won me over this episode he is a true king 🤴
I mean to be fair look what the Five Elder Stars did to Bonny to get Kuma to fork up his humanity and free will. Dragon may very well be a dead beat but it was probably the best thing he could've done for Luffy. Plus his goal of overthrowing the world nobles is a pretty admirable goal and will free the world from their tyranny.
Maybe right at this scene happened it was frustrating, but it became clear when each of the crew members ended up at places that would enhance their talents, what was being done. Kuma himself guarding the ship until they got back to it was also a good indicator. Having Kuma's thoughts during this scene from the most recent chapters help expand on it. Hopefully he'll be able to realize the fruits of his actions in the Egghead arc depending on what comes next.
What Oda did with Kuma is probably one of the best things he’s ever done in the whole series. No one expected the trajectory this character would go on after this moment
It always get me that Robin is the last to vanish, the one who the whole crew fighted for her security, yet she couldn't be protected at all. Thankfully Kuma did it for they good ❤
This was one heck of an emotional roller coaster episode. Before, we thought he literally nuked each straw hat. They were losing no matter what. They had nowhere to run, and luffy was beginning his losing journey.
The cries from luffy get me every time, man loses everything in such a short timespan. Props to Kuma tho in the long run, but in the moment I hated his guts
the hardest part about the seperation was Luffy's greatest fear since childhood was being left alone in the world. Watching his crew, his family, disappear had to be the biggest tragedy of his life and then comes Marineford....
Everyone thought Kuma was a villain and hated him for doing this when it happened. Now everyone understand he's a hero and thanks him for separating the SH's here.
Why did everyones opinion changed for Kuma ? I mean we knew since Thiller Bark, that he has a connection to Dragon. And he send every crewmember to an specific island to train their powers. It was obvious, that he was helping the Straw Hats. He even protected their ship for 2 years. We just know his whole backstory now. But he always supported and protected the Straw hats.
Sadly, many people just tend to look past the evidence that goes contrary to their opinion until definitively proven wrong (and even then some people are stubborn.) For me it's more heartbreaking to know Kuma was tearing himself up inside during this moment, knowing he was helping but not being able to convey this fact, just having to accept their pain and anguish.
I think it’s mostly because Kama came off as a threat so even in this scene he’s helping them we also see Luffy literally at his lowest . Also with Kama a lot of that stuff was revealed post timeskip
He sent them to the locations that he visited in the past, when he was trying to find a cure for Bonney, and Kuma said that Luffy will “save the world one day”
Even if they somehow made it to the new world, they would not have survived past fishman island. The fact that they made it to Sabaody is a miracle in and of itself.
Man, Kuma went from being a terror to being the Strawhats greatest ally. He held them down 💯 here. Saved their lives - because they just weren’t ready for the new world. Then protected the Sunny till they came back. Kuma is an OG.
Looking back on this now. Especially in the recent chapters. I think Kuma sold out the navy when they had the Nika fruit. Remember what Whos Who said. He was part of CP9 before he joined kaido. And his task that ended uo costing him his job was to protect the Nika fruit they had obtained. The same fruit that Shanks stole and then luffy ate. The Navy prides itself on being able to keep information hidden. Only a select few people knew where the fruit was. And all of them were either Gorosei or CP9. But i think Kuma leaked the location of the fruit right before his free will was erased. It wasnt in the flashback. But its the only logical way shanks could've found that fruit.
It's pretty crazy how Kuma can repel things that are 3x his size like Monster Point Chopper. I wonder what the size limit is to him repelling something.

Always respected kuma

What a scene man, what a scene.
Really good catch
This scene hits differently once you know Kuma's perspective. Masterful writing by Oda.
Watching this after the backstory has a different feel to it man
❤❤❤
Alternative title: "Kuma makes sure the Strawhats doesn't get killed on Dressrosa"
If Kuma wasn’t there they wouldn’t even have made it to Dressrosa. They would have gotten killed or arrested in this scene.
if somehow they would've got to fishman Island, I don't think Luffy could've beat doped hody jones. In his normal form maybe, with the drugs? No way.
Kuma’s a real one after knowing the context.
A goat among goats
How y’all feel watching this after we heard about Kuma’s backstory.
Sad but I understand why he did it
plus if he didn't do it luffy wouldn't know about ace in marineford
It feels like the sadness I had for the Strawhats was crushed underneath the sadness I now have for Kuma. Rewatching this will be so hard, especially if I get family to watch it. They're going to be so confused why I'm bawling my eyes out
@@terrenceharris-hughes4436they’d prob be sieged n captured by the marines if it weren’t for him♥️

This moment hits so hard watching Luffy’s reaction to his crew being taken away from him 🥲
Hits harder later onward to
What's worse is the reason why Kuma did it.
Backshots intensifies
Dawg why the pfp💀

You ain't sly Crunchroll. Releasing this scene knowing damn well what just got revealed in the recent chapter.
Kuma then: 😡🤬
Kuma now: 😭😔
Us before: Poor Luffy, he doesn't understand what is going on
Us now: Poor Kuma, we didn't understand what was going on
Looking back now, Kuma did the straw hats a favor
🥰❤️

He never once told his crew to run but watching him do that this episode and how much he suffered at losing them showed me how truly humble he always was.

Kuma saved the "Warrior of Liberation" with the "hands of freedom"...
The timing on this. They definitely know what they are doing.
Kuma doing more for luffy than dragon ever did 🙏😭
"A child is a parents greatest weakness" Dragon may not be around for Luffy but he is fighting for the whole world.
I mean to be fair look what the Five Elder Stars did to Bonny to get Kuma to fork up his humanity and free will. Dragon may very well be a dead beat but it was probably the best thing he could've done for Luffy.

Kuma is Luffy’s Piccalo
Luffy was boutta hit the dust to smoker if dragon ain’t step in
Didnt Dragon send Kuma to rescue the crew

You'll love Egghead for sure. Can't hype it enough for you without spoiling, you guys are in for a real treat.

One of the best arcs in the series. The implications really were felt later on.
This scene hits even harder after seeing Kuma’s backstory 😢
Pre-Timeskip: Kuma you B****rd.
After Timeskip: Kuma you our Savior.
The extra depth given to this scene from recent chapters makes this one of the saddest moments in all of One Piece on multiple angles.
Luffy powerlessness made this scene so epic
Kumas last act of free will 😭
he also guarded the ship afterwards
It’s not tho. Well it was for a while
@@novasoul99 that wasn't free will, it was programmed in by vegapunk
It always get me that Robin is the last to vanish, the one who the whole crew fighted for her security, yet she couldn't be protected at all. Thankfully Kuma did it for they good ❤
This hits way different after the latest chapter, Kuma did them a solid here
They knew what they were doing posting this scene
Knowing Kuma's backstory now, He really helped out Luffy and his crew
Now I know the truth, my respect to Kuma has increased.
It one of saddest things I’ve seen in One piece and not knowing if they were ever gonna see each other again.
Gonna hit so hard when they remake this scene with Kuma's narration on it
Sometimes you have to be portrayed as a villain to be accepted as the hero. Thank you Kumachi ❤️
There’s a whole new POV to this now. I don’t see Luffy in this, I only see Kuma
When did happened we all hated kuma. But now we were all wrong. He’s the goat
They weren't ready yet. 🥲🥲
After reading Kuma’s flashback, this scene hits harder now. :(
This was one heck of an emotional roller coaster episode. Before, we thought he literally nuked each straw hat. They were losing no matter what. They had nowhere to run, and luffy was beginning his losing journey.
Kuma didn't separate the Straw Hats ... he set them up for the New World!
This really started a chain reaction of sad moments for the series 😢
All hail the savior of the straw hat whether you see it that way or not. This is literally some parental TOUGH LOVE from a man carrying so much PAIN😢
Its heart breaking knowing that Kuma was thinking during this.
Hmm,I wonder why crunchyroll recently added this clip? No matter, it's time to get caught up on the Egghead arc!
The cries from luffy get me every time, man loses everything in such a short timespan. Props to Kuma tho in the long run, but in the moment I hated his guts
Crunchyroll is pulling this one out of the archives to get us pumped for Egghead Island where we'll see this again but from Kuma's perspective.
the hardest part about the seperation was Luffy's greatest fear since childhood was being left alone in the world. Watching his crew, his family, disappear had to be the biggest tragedy of his life and then comes Marineford....
I just finishing this arc and I get chills every time I see robin yelling out to luffy in this scene
Kuma always held back 💀
Please Kuma, after what you've done with the Straw Hats, don't die 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
This hits harder not only because the recent chapters, but Kuma's death and him saying arigato reflects exactly like Ace's death. 😢
My sweet misunderstood bear man, you were doing your best.
This is just the level of the New Word…
I love that long pause of Kuma watching a crying Luffy lash out against himself under the assumption that he’s failed to save his friends
The First Time i saw this episode i felt the utter impotence of Luffy as my own but After a long time i realize It was a blessing in disguise
Everyone thought Kuma was a villain and hated him for doing this when it happened.
Now everyone understand he's a hero and thanks him for separating the SH's here.
Can't wait for Toei to use this scene again 20 Episodes from now
Learning more about kuma makes this scene 10x more impactful than it already was😢
This hits so different now it hurts :'(
Of course they drop that after Kumas flashback 😢
"You're wrong. I'm only showing you the level you need to be in the new world"
We didn't know he was the hero we needed at the time.
Luffy: I couldnt save everyone!!
Kuma: I'm just giving you some buffs, its dangerous out there.
Why did everyones opinion changed for Kuma ? I mean we knew since Thiller Bark, that he has a connection to Dragon. And he send every crewmember to an specific island to train their powers. It was obvious, that he was helping the Straw Hats. He even protected their ship for 2 years. We just know his whole backstory now. But he always supported and protected the Straw hats.
I imagine that his relationship with Dragon was still suspicious and his actions made almost no sense at the time
Sadly, many people just tend to look past the evidence that goes contrary to their opinion until definitively proven wrong (and even then some people are stubborn.) For me it's more heartbreaking to know Kuma was tearing himself up inside during this moment, knowing he was helping but not being able to convey this fact, just having to accept their pain and anguish.

After Kuma's backstory, this scene hits so much differently.
If you know, you know. Crunchyroll knows.
Kuma: “I’m sorry, Dragon. But I have to do this. Your boy and his crew will save the world but they are not ready yet.”
After finding out the reason why Kuma did this years later to the latest chapter, it just made me respect this character so much more.
And now we know exactly why Kuma did this and even why he chose the places he did to send them all to
This hits different finally know the truth about kuma😢
My heart man this was so painful back then 😭
Hey Crunchyroll I have a few questions. Number one: How dare you? 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Even if they somehow made it to the new world, they would not have survived past fishman island. The fact that they made it to Sabaody is a miracle in and of itself.
the fit Luffy has at the end... heartbreaking
One of the most heartbreaking scenes in media.
After reading the backstory this hits hella different
Ikr 😢

Kuma was saving them from Kizaru
Kuma is probably the only reason straw hats are alive. This mad-lad only made luffy a menace stronger than ever.
What a nice timing of this video after his flashback 💔
I have never been a fan of the I'm doing this for your own good, but is so spot on Kuma has to do it, he was saving their future and dreams
Me when I found out Wendy’s got rid of the 4for4 meal 2:00
Kuma is truly Luffy guardian!
You will… save the world
This scene hurts in many different ways
Crunchyroll knows exactly what they're doing here
This single act became a blessing in disguise.
Is more like "Kuma saves Staw Hats"
Crunchyroll knows what's up
The bubbles popping... This anime is amazing
It's pretty crazy how Kuma can repel things that are 3x his size like Monster Point Chopper. I wonder what the size limit is to him repelling something.
Hits different now.
