A couple of fun facts: 1) In Marineford Ace made a hat for Little Oars Jr and said that he had learned how to make it in Wano and we see him learn here 2) In Punk Hazard Kinemon says he hates dragons (in Wano we learn why: Kaido)
Welcome to Wano my friend!! Enjoy this journey to the fullest because it truly is incredible but it is also very easy to miss some of the character nuance that is written, just gets looked over sometimes
You are getting closer to being caught up. Let's go. Wano arc was a bit up and down for me, but it still had some fantastic highs. Waiting for the review of the rest of the arc.
I feel like dividing Wano into the Acts was a much more sane way to review these things, lol Gavin! (Well, I did listen to all 7 hours) I don't know if I could ever do that, lol
i don't read the manga but i watch the anime, and i really like the wano arc. it's my favorite arc in the new world. i was having problems for years with one piece after the time skip but this is the 1st arc that i've really enjoyed in a long time. luffy being sent to prison was wild. seeing how he looked at people angrily while he was walking in and chained up was so cold to me.
You comment made me realize that I forgot to mention that I was obsessed with the part where Kaido said that Luffy, despite him being seemingly knocked out after Kaido hit him, was STILL glaring at him! Luffy is the best!
i’ve been re-reading one piece (well technically i watched it the first time) and i don’t know why, but these reviews are so comforting. i’ve watched them all in the past 3-4 days.
If you like these and haven’t yet I recommend watching both Merphy Napier and HowtotrainyourGavin! Watching them all fall in love with the story is wonderful
@@garretbell9915 youtube has been suggesting Merphy to me and I’ll definitely check theirs out soon! rn i’m watching Books and Tropes’ reviews. Thanks for the suggestions!
I’ve loved your reviews, came here from Merph’s videos and also watch Gavin’s stuff (loved finding out y’all know each other, heading to you and Gav’s video after this). On that note have you ever considered using Gavin’s chapter by chapter approach? I really enjoyed it because it’s like reliving reading weekly and the climax of this arc is perfect for it! I’ll be back no matter what but I would absolutely love if you covered the next part(s) of Wano chapter by chapter! Much love and can’t wait for you to join us on Egghead ❤
So glad you're here! Almost caught up and with a absolutely insane arc ahead of you! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Act 2 and 3. I loved Kiku right away, though admittedly for superficial reasons. She's gorgeous, demure, and ladylike while still being an honorable and powerful samurai. Though I think it's fair to say she and a lot of the other important characters in Wano are a bit underdeveloped because there are so many of them. Otama giving her birthday rice to Luffy and then filling her belly with contaminated water to assuage her hunger was just unfair in terms of making me want to protect her. Her dynamic with Speed is so cute... in particular if you can overlook that Speed caring for her is at least initially a result of Tama's dango based mind control working on gifters in addition to animals. I think pacing is actually one of the weaker aspects of this arc, some parts drag and some really important things get resolved in a fraction of a panel. Though it's a lot less noticeable binge reading. Still I think it's a pretty incredible arc and even more ambitious than Dressrosa. 100% Agree that Big Mom is scarier than Kaido. Kaido is strong, malevolent, and self destructive but his personality is way less scary to me. Big Mom is less malicious but she's basically as strong as Kaido and has a way more insidious devil fruit power. Not to mention she's a serial rapist and child abuser who stole the lifespan of her own son during a tantrum and is insanely unpredictable because she doesn't consider consequences at all when she is pursuing something she wants... and what she wants can change in an instant since in some ways she still has the mind of a spoiled child.
Hey, Amber!! Welcome to Wano! 🥳 Great content as always ❤ You should try checking out this arc in the anime. It's really good! At the point you are now, I recommend: the first couple of episodes (middle of episode 891 (at 10:30) until the end of episode 892), and when Luffy saves Otama from Holdem (end of episode 905).
Considering Drake had destroyed the weaver village at the behest of Kaido/Orochi, we can safely assume Drake ended up losing the fight he started with Kaido.
Hey Amber, how has it been. I hope your day is going great. Wano Act 1 is great. The animation looks great as well the story. To see Luffy and Zoro reunited was an awesome moment. As the fight that Zoro had with Hawkins. To find out that Kinemon, Momo, and the others are from the past was a shocking moment. To see Tama has a connection to Ace was a cool moment. A very sad moment when Luffy had to tell her that Ace is dead. Luffy vs Kaido fight was great. A perfect moment despite Luffy losing to Kaido and put in prison. In which suck But to see him in the same prison as Eustess Kid was a cool moment. That makes you think how these two are gonna get out. As they end Act 1. But anyway I you have a lovely day. Stay safe, stay positive, stay blessed, take care and stay amazing Queen of the Pirates.
Thank you! I am trying to figure out where Act 2 and 3 start and end. From what I have read, Act 2 is from chapter 925 to chapter 955, but I am still trying to figure out where Act 3 ends.
A couple of fun facts:
1) In Marineford Ace made a hat for Little Oars Jr and said that he had learned how to make it in Wano and we see him learn here

I always love when you all tell me fun facts like this!
And by the way....ENJOY THIS ARC.😃😃😃😃
6 years. We waited over 6 actual years in real life to see Zoro and Sanji reunite.
ABSOLUTELY NOT! I would NOT have been able to do that - you all are strong! 😭
Ace - Never gone until you are forgotten. Unforgettable characters will live forever.
😭❤Love this!
Great Review as always! I also love whenever Luffy acts as an older or younger brother
Thank you Xina! Same here!! It melts my heart!
You're almost caught up. This is so bittersweet

Thank you! I loved reading your thoughts and analysis on the different characters and plot lines!
You are getting closer to being caught up. Let's go. Wano arc was abi
Finally
Hey, Amber!! Welcome to Wano! 🥳

Welcome to wano!
Welcome to Wano! Hope you have a fun time! This arc is wild
Welcome to the land of wano
This is gonna be gooooood
Considering Drake had destroyed the weaver village at the behest of Kaido/Orochi, we can safely assume Drake ended up losing the fight he started with Kaido.
lets get it!
Yesssss!!
Hey Amber, how has it been. I hope your day is going great. Wano Act 1 is great. The animation looks great as well the story. To see Luffy and Zoro reunited was an awesome moment. As the fight that Zoro had with Hawkins.
To find out that Kinemon, Momo, and the others are from the past was a shocking moment.

Hi and thank you Rob! Yes to all of this! I LOVED the part with Kid! It helped me feel a little less stressed about the prison situation!
Enjoy the ride 😁
That sumo fight was like a full five minutes in the anime, it was real bad
There's some things that you won't like in the manga that you'll love if you watch the anime
According to Luffy, he is not a hero because to him, heroes share their meat, he wants all the meat to himself👌🤣😂👍
😂Great point! 😂
Just fyi if you were planning on doing it by the acts- act 2 is gonna be pretty long
Thank you! I am trying to figure out where Act 2 and 3 start and end. From what I have read, Act 2 is from chapter 925 to chapter 955, but I am still trying to figure out where Act 3 ends.
Ball de boo!!!! 😂
Do I wanna give it to him? No, but listen, he turned into a dragon. Lmao 😂 you right you right
Would you consider watching the anime at some point?
Oh yes!!
