This is the last arc I watched in the anime. It would have been great it it were a third of its length but the pacing completely killed my willingness to continue. Read the manga for a couple arcs though.
Fun Fact: Akainu, Aokiji and Kizaru translate to Red Dog, Blue Pheasant, Yellow Monkey respectively. Those three animals are the sidekicks of one of the most iconic Japanese fairytales, Momotaro, in which a boy born out of a giant peach recruits a dog, a pheasant and a monkey, by feeding them peach candies, so they can go slay some demons together
In his duel with Aokiji, Luffy went straight for the combo that finished Crocodile: kick upwards, Gum-Gum Balloon into Gum-Gum Storm. That shows how serious he was. It didn't have a prayer of working though.
I hope they stay that way, sometimes it gets a bit frustrating, when some reacters even forget stuff, that happend like 5 episodes ago 😅😂 But so far theyre doing a great job, they remember so much details and like you said even come up with good and interessting theories
Robin’s nature was somewhat revealed during the foxy pirates arc during the scene when she was taken by foxy. She just nonchalantly smiled and said “see ya” to the straw hats, somewhat implying that she’s used to leaving people one day.
Perhaps, but I didn't really think of it that deeply. I saw it more as almost teasing. Rules are rules, can't change that, so Robin will happily go along with it because she knows that her crew will win her back. I mean, if she REALLY thought she was leaving the Strawhats for good, I think she'd be a little more dour about it. She was probably having a lot of fun.
That day is not too far away knowing the stage of the current story. One piece will likely end in next 5-7 years. Getting a glimpse of the "end game" in Zou gave me chills.... And now after entering the final Saga, it has finally sinked in that it DEFINITELY IS GONNA END... And I'm at least happy to be a one piece fan in 2024 experience it's glory, the recent rise in one piece popularity, a very successful and genuinely made Live action, WIT remake, Fan letter, Remastered anime, G5, conclusion of the Yonko saga after almost 10 years, one of the best animations in anime, especially Egg head and Wano, Ishitani's magic, every new arc feels to be one of the best arcs... And even the Future story being even more exciting... And many more.... These past 2 years and here on is one of THE BEST TIMES to be a one piece fan... And we are getting all of it...!! So, even though one piece is coming to an end it feels very much scary just thinking that, this moment, this level of one piece hype and popularity we are getting now a days is like never before and we must enjoy, cherish and take in all of this .... and experience one of the most sought out, important, historical event of the end of one piece in the coming decade... Being a world wide phenomenon, even more than what we all have expected it, due to recent boom in one piece popularity as well as new anime, live action etc... based on one piece IP bringing in new fans into the fandom... To make the end of one piece one of the greatest events of all time... Now every non-anime watcher who never watch anime, know about one piece, and many want to watch it, if not for it's length. Even though WIT is making new anime, realistically, within the timeline before one piece ends... Before all the crucial spoilers flood the internet in next 10 years,I feel WIT will finish pre-timeskip, and Toei has currently started to remaster and condense post-timeskip, and the time line of both of them finishing almost matches with the time line of a decade... Where by the time WIT finishes pre-timeskip, the whole Post timeskip will be remastered into a digestible manner by Toei, so, probably all the new watchers can potentially get caught up to one piece by the time ending is near... I can't imagine how epic it'll be with so many more new influx of fans... When one piece ends... The sheer volume of fan numbers will definitely overshadow the mainstream discourse... And I'm looking forward to it... Even though it's bitter sad that it'll end after so many years of one piece being part of our weekly routine, the hype of getting to uncover the mysteries by Oda Sensei is something very much promising and exciting... And Oda sensei is talented enough and he already knows what the ending is, to make it all satisfying enough when it ends. So, let's just enjoy the ride... And the journey... And gather as many new fans into the fold as possible...
I never get tired of hearing this terrifying dude get introduced around the phrase "Super boi-oing". Also, Luffy pulls the same combo he finished Crocodile with, the kick into the air followed by Storm, which is a cool detail.
@TheRach0812 modern is a relative term depending on context, especially where art is concerned. That's why there is a difference between current trends and modern trends.
@@TheRach0812 By modern media he means its not an epic tale from ancient Greece mate lmao Many of the absolute top best stories of all time to this day were written over two thousand years ago, so its incredibly rare that One Piece, something from our lifetime is up there along with the greats of all time
I'm a fan from Thailand. I love your reactions so much; they're so cute and full of fun. It's great to watch One Piece again with you. Keep up the good work, and I'll be following your One Piece reactions for a long time!
I forgot how much is packed into one episode. And then it’s followed up by some of the most beloved crew moments all jammed packed. My goodness. “He’s so cool’” I see what you did there 🧊
Aokiji served a similar purpose here that Mihawk did when we first met him. They acted as measuring sticks to show that as strong as the Strawhats may seem to be they still have a LONG way to go before they can contend with the top tier that Mihawk and Aokiji exist in.
I'd like to add that G8 also shows that without luck, their tactics and strategy to fight the Navy in terms of ship and sea maneuvers is still way far behind as well. Without the octopus balloon making them fly, they really would've lost the chessplay of Vice Admiral Jonathan who plays them like a hunter(more like fishing). I'd say on that particular point, Nami is the one that needs to improve the most, followed by Ussop. Then again, there's still no shipwright as a crew, which would tremendously add more firepower to the sea maneuvers tactics and strategies.
aokiji and mihawk are veteran, they already see so many people wants to become pirate and grab one piece, but mostly are weaklings. thats why aokiji also so relax, he can kill them anytime but yeah not this time
Imagine reading the manga, and one chapter you're sending Foxy and his crew off with their stupid new flag, and then this man shows up and helps out old man Tonjit, and next chapter he freezes Robin and neutralizes the three strongest members of our crew. The whiplash was incredible. As a side note, Zoro spotting Yokozuna doing the front crawl was our first exposure to a frog doing the front crawl in the manga. No mention of him by Aokiji at all. So many strange choices around this section of the anime.
This section of the One Piece story is one of my favourites, I was so excited to watch you react to this from the very begining. I hope you enjoy the ride! 🌊
In the manga, this entire incident happens while they're still on Long Ring Long Land, but in the anime here there was a short filler arc so they're on a different island instead. It was actually Aokiji that helps Tonjit cross the sea to the next island in the manga, by freezing it like you see here.
This was such a good way to introduce how powerful the admirals are! You see this lazy dude...and the unflappable Robin is terrified of him. The monster trio jumps him (which they usually don't do) and he just brushes them all off. Amazing.
Finally you see my favorite character. Things are going serious from here, finding one piece is not just about finding treasure , you just tap into world government secrets and it can shake the whole world upside down
The just.. insane 180 from the silly, goofy shenanigans of the pirate games with Foxy nd to the just.. absolute disaster that is the fight with Aokiji is... So amazing. And also stressful.
With Aokiji's introduction, Oda finally decides to take the training wheels off! I know people will say that best arc of One Piece was Ennies Lobby or Marineford or even Wano or Egghead, but for me its always been Water 7. Wano and Egghead have too much fat and major pacing issues while Ennies Lobby and Marineford were mostly action, but Water 7 had so much more! Action, character growth, new character introduction, mystery, attempted murder, betrayal, internal strife, great backstory, great setting, huge long term stakes, and so much more!! IMO, the best arc in One Piece has started!!!!
water 7 - enies lobby is always the best arc in one piece. we cannot guess who will be straw hat next crew as shipwright since so many things happen at the same time, readers/viewers will lose their focus, straw hat main actual next goal is go finding shipwright and fix their ship but a lot of unexpected events keep being throwed at them
6:38 this is easily one of my FAVORITE funny moments in the entire series. The way Luffy realizes that him being a marine is good for those people kills me every single time😂😂😂😂😂
He did the exact same combo against Aokiji that he did against the strongest person he had faced so far: Crocodile. Enel gave him some logistical issues but crocodile is who he almost died against twice, so he used the combo against this guy
Among the many virtues Oda has is the ability to convey the context using only Robin's fear. Robin is powerful-not close to the monster trio, but when she shows fear, it creates the intended effect: "if she’s scared, this is dangerous." Great reaction, you get the message correctly.
I love the extra effort added to make each logia user react differently when taking an attack. From Aokiji shattering and Crocodile's sand, to Smoker dispersing and Enel's lightning. It's a small contribution but adds some personality to each Devil Fruit.
About Yokozuna's "loincloth": That's actually called a 'mawashi', which is worn by sumo wrestlers during bouts. It's a play on the frog's name, since 'yokozuna' is the Japanese title of grand champion, the highest rank in professional sumo.
Okay, now I can finally explain the complicated relationship that Long Ring Long has with canon. So, in the manga, there was only one three-coin game between the Straw Hats and the Foxy Pirates, and each participant could only play once. The first game, just like in the anime, was the race. But in the manga, there were only three racers from each side: Nami, Usopp, and Robin vs. Porche, Capote, . The bits with Luffy being in the race, not really contributing to anything, were added for the anime. After the first round, just like in the anime, the Foxy Pirates took Chopper, putting Zoro and Sanji at a numbers disadvantage for the second game, the ball game. That one went exactly the same, pretty much. The third round was the 1v1 fight between Luffy and Foxy, so there was no roller derby, dodgeball, or red light green light. Before the fight even begins, that makes a huge difference for the scene between rounds. See, in the anime, Nami suggested taking Foxy after the Straw Hats won the second round, which would put the Foxy Pirates at a disadvantage for the third round - basically, exactly what the Foxy Pirates had done when they took Chopper. And all of the Foxy Pirates called Nami out on her cheap "peanut tactics". Hypocrites, right? Well remember, in the manga, the next round was a 1v1, so if the Straw Hats took Foxy, it would have been a 0v1 and the Straw Hats would have won by default. So it's actually a much more extreme version of what the Foxy crew had done with Chopper, which justifies their reaction somewhat. Also, Luffy just straight up takes Chopper back after the second game. There was no need to waste the win on Sherry the hoooorse, because it's not like the Foxy crew won her or anything. As you can guess, the whole situation where the Straw Hats were at risk of losing their descendants to the Foxy Pirates was entirely anime-only. Every round only had one crew member on the line. After Luffy won the third round, he took the Foxy Pirates' flag and gave it to Old Tonjit to wrap up Sherry's wound (side note, in the manga, it was not just a net gun). Aaaand lastly, Tonjit's grandson who showed up out of nowhere and likes digging tunnels... was entirely anime material. In the manga, this was when Aokiji showed up, and he made an ice path for Tonjit and Sherry to catch up with the rest of their peeps. The added material was fun, I won't deny that. And in a way, it does kinda contribute to what Aokiji says - in the anime, in addition to what happened to Baroque Works, the Foxy Pirates were almost completely wiped out the same day that they took Robin in. But the original was far more streamlined and handled the stakes better. Plus, the anime material added in a (fairly minor) error that wasn't in the manga; I'll explain that one later). This, combined with coming right in between everyone's favorite filler arc G8 and the universally beloved Water Seven makes Long Ring Long pretty unpopular among anime-onlies for how needlessly padded it feels.
So, I think this is one of the cases in which adding filler in the anime also hurt the original material a bit. See, one of the reasons why some people wrongly think the Long Ring arc isn't important, is because in the manga, Aokiji actually shows up RIGHT as the crew wins the Davy Back fight against Foxy. Just as they're wondering how they can help the old man reach his people, he shows up laying around his house, and immediately shows his powers by creating an ice bridge between the archipelago. In the anime,given they put entire filler arcs between these two events, he just shows up on a random island to save some non-descript people, which also seems redundant given what we've just gone through. We also care way more about Shelly and Tonjit than these nameless guys,so Aokiji's altruistic side comes out stronger in the manga as well. Not only that, but him being introduced right after such a lighthearted, fun arc is SUCH an amazing tone shift. Things sober up so quick once his intentions and abilities are made known, and we were just goofing around two seconds ago! To add to the Toriyama parallels, this kinda feels like what happens right at the end of the 22nd Budokai tournament, so out of the blue! Here it just doesn't hit the same! Still, the actual events that transpire after his introduction are done justice. The crew sleeping around Robin as she's wide awake and serious is one of my favorite little bits. You can tell how much they've come to care already, but something is still not letting her be at ease. Says so much without any dialogue!
Note: Aokiji are inspired from a real japanese actor "Matsuda Yusaku" Note 2: the filler arc before this one its based from a One Piece RPG game released for PS1 in 2003 "One Piece: Ocean's Dream!"
In the manga Aokiji is how Tonjit gets back to his village, the random shipwrecked people came out of nowhere because they were needed to replace that plot point and show off his abilities.
It’s a blessed day, the beginning of one of the greatest sagas in the history of entertainment. Maybe have waited for this since the first reaction to the Live action and we finally made it
This is my all-time favorite arc, and in my opinion it has the best art style, the most suited for One Piece, so even Wano with modern animation couldn't top it for me! 🤗
OMG I can't wait for you to learn the deepest lores and histories of One Piece. You'll keep wanting more. The next arc is gonna be the best storytelling you'll see.
ive pretty much been binging all of your guys’ reactions to one piece (i myself am currently on ep 1002) and ive been sooo excited for you guys to get to this arc!!
And hence begins, one of the greatest if not the greatest Sagas in One Piece.
AGREED
Egghead takes thar spot for me for at least now🫠
i mean, if you're talking about saga, then it started last arc ago which is long ring long land..
This is the last arc I watched in the anime. It would have been great it it were a third of its length but the pacing completely killed my willingness to continue. Read the manga for a couple arcs though.
This one hits hard on all cylinders.

the peak is coming
Reading this without already being invested in one piece is a lot. God we are insane.
Same 😂
More like the next 900 tbh
Same, which sadly means somewhere in the future I feel like drifting away from the story.
The more Shōnen the story , the less I´m invested😔
Finally water 7. This is when one piece lost its status of a great show and became something even bigger
One of the best. This arc has everything that why people love the show.
Yep…this was actually a level change ,sky rocking this anime to greatness 🙌🏼

the water seven saga only stands out because it is followed by the most boring arc in anime history. :/

yes that was his best combo .

That made me smile too :D
Lol, they just finished 251 on their patreon, the exact episode where we discover Robin's motives.
Nah fr they are way tooo smart
Right ? I like reactions like that :)

They guess soo many things correct before happens. Especially Haylo. I watched many different reactions. But these siblings are the best.
His motto most closely translates to “lazy justice”- idk why they subtitled it as solemnly lololol
Slovenly, not solemnly.
Slovenly: (especially of a person or action) careless; excessively casual.
It means the same thing, but I like the way "lazy justice" sounds better
Learn to read, the subtitles didnt say solemnly.
Robin’s nature was somewhat revealed during the foxy pirates arc during the scene when she was taken by foxy. She just nonchalantly smiled and said “see ya” to the straw hats, somewhat implying that she’s used to leaving people one day.

I mean, if she REALLY thought she was leaving the Strawhats for good, I think she'd be a little more dour about it. She was probably having a lot of fun.
24:53 You know what's worse? Someday it will say "The End"
All good things must come to an end.

The first game, just like in the anime, was the race. But in the manga, there were only three racers from each side: Nami, Usopp, and Robin vs. Porche, Capote, . The bits with Luffy being in the race, not really contributing to anything, were added for the anime.
After the first round, just like in the anime, the Foxy Pirates took Chopper, putting Zoro and Sanji at a numbers disadvantage for the second game, the ball game. That one went exactly the same, pretty much.
The third round was the 1v1 fight between Luffy and Foxy, so there was no roller derby, dodgeball, or red light green light. Before the fight even begins, that makes a huge difference for the scene between rounds. See, in the anime, Nami suggested taking Foxy after the Straw Hats won the second round, which would put the Foxy Pirates at a disadvantage for the third round - basically, exactly what the Foxy Pirates had done when they took Chopper. And all of the Foxy Pirates called Nami out on her cheap "peanut tactics". Hypocrites, right? Well remember, in the manga, the next round was a 1v1, so if the Straw Hats took Foxy, it would have been a 0v1 and the Straw Hats would have won by default. So it's actually a much more extreme version of what the Foxy crew had done with Chopper, which justifies their reaction somewhat.
Also, Luffy just straight up takes Chopper back after the second game. There was no need to waste the win on Sherry the hoooorse, because it's not like the Foxy crew won her or anything.
As you can guess, the whole situation where the Straw Hats were at risk of losing their descendants to the Foxy Pirates was entirely anime-only. Every round only had one crew member on the line.
After Luffy won the third round, he took the Foxy Pirates' flag and gave it to Old Tonjit to wrap up Sherry's wound (side note, in the manga, it was not just a net gun).
Aaaand lastly, Tonjit's grandson who showed up out of nowhere and likes digging tunnels... was entirely anime material. In the manga, this was when Aokiji showed up, and he made an ice path for Tonjit and Sherry to catch up with the rest of their peeps.
The added material was fun, I won't deny that. And in a way, it does kinda contribute to what Aokiji says - in the anime, in addition to what happened to Baroque Works, the Foxy Pirates were almost completely wiped out the same day that they took Robin in. But the original was far more streamlined and handled the stakes better. Plus, the anime material added in a (fairly minor) error that wasn't in the manga; I'll explain that one later). This, combined with coming right in between everyone's favorite filler arc G8 and the universally beloved Water Seven makes Long Ring Long pretty unpopular among anime-onlies for how needlessly padded it feels.
This saga is one of the greatest saga in onepiece...
So, I think this is one of the cases in which adding filler in the anime also hurt the original material a bit.
See, one of the reasons why some people wrongly think the Long Ring arc isn't important, is because in the manga, Aokiji actually shows up RIGHT as the crew wins the Davy Back fight against Foxy.
Just as they're wondering how they can help the old man reach his people, he shows up laying around his house, and immediately shows his powers by creating an ice bridge between the archipelago.
In the anime,given they put entire filler arcs between these two events, he just shows up on a random island to save some non-descript people, which also seems redundant given what we've just gone through. We also care way more about Shelly and Tonjit than these nameless guys,so Aokiji's altruistic side comes out stronger in the manga as well.
Not only that, but him being introduced right after such a lighthearted, fun arc is SUCH an amazing tone shift.
Things sober up so quick once his intentions and abilities are made known, and we were just goofing around two seconds ago! To add to the Toriyama parallels, this kinda feels like what happens right at the end of the 22nd Budokai tournament, so out of the blue!
Here it just doesn't hit the same! Still, the actual events that transpire after his introduction are done justice.
The crew sleeping around Robin as she's wide awake and serious is one of my favorite little bits. You can tell how much they've come to care already, but something is still not letting her be at ease. Says so much without any dialogue!
Absolute right
10:20 perfect synchronization 🤣
Finally Arc Water Seven!
My Favorites arc One Piece 😤👍
Yesssssssss, we’re coming real near to one of the peakest arc in one piece
I already miss the foxy pirates. Such a good arc
Note: Aokiji are inspired from a real japanese actor "Matsuda Yusaku"
Note 2: the filler arc before this one its based from a One Piece RPG game released for PS1 in 2003 "One Piece: Ocean's Dream!"
You are about to witness one of the greatest arc in anime/manga history
Get ready for one of the most heartbreaking arcs of the series and my personal favorite! This is gonna get ROUGH.
Ice guy.
Perfect time to ring in the holiday season.
Only happy times ahead...
This episode is where Strawhat crew's enemies become stronger and Luffy gets serious about fighting
I love how she remembered Sengoku right away when he was mentioned ❤
Ussop was definitely impressed with Ice Age
Finally, I’m early to one of your One Piece videos since I’ve been binge watching your reactions, starting with the OPLA! I love your commentary 🥰
20:42 Calling Chopper "the best doctor ever" won't make him happy, you jerks! :)
i have been waiting for you to get to this arc and i'm SO EXCITED for the upcoming reactions!! this is one of three favourite arcs of mine 😍
In the manga Aokiji is how Tonjit gets back to his village, the random shipwrecked people came out of nowhere because they were needed to replace that plot point and show off his abilities.
In the Manga, the Crew came across Aokiji back on Long Ring Long Land and it was his ability that helped Tonjit to get to the next island.
Well, sometimes a frog is just a frog
YEEEEEAAAAASSSSSS!!!!!!! Its The One Peak Arc, Water 7 and Enis Lobby! 🔥🔥💪💪

You tell them Kiss. Let them know. 😂😂😂😂
It’s a blessed day, the beginning of one of the greatest sagas in the history of entertainment. Maybe have waited for this since the first reaction to the Live action and we finally made it
They can't wait to hear about Robin's past
Just gonna say
They better have the tissues nearby
After the next 20 episodes they better have restocked their supplies
I think they hit a milestone episode on Patron.😅
8:11 “he seems cool” 🤣
We're about to reach peak One Piece.
From those episodes on until the present day, One Piece is a nonstop train of epicness until the present episode.🎉🤝💯
Unless you have like 200 episodes covering like 5 hours in their time
@@emkalina give me an example of 200 episode covering like five hours
@Snake19644 that's an exagerration but dressrosa takes one day and 120 episodes. Raid on onigashima alone is almost 100
02:14 oh! This one was seriously quick !
(For a moment my trust on time was uplifted 💀)
This is my all-time favorite arc, and in my opinion it has the best art style, the most suited for One Piece, so even Wano with modern animation couldn't top it for me! 🤗
Water Seven arc is in my top 3 arcs of One pIece. I got chills just remembering it. You'll love it
OMG I can't wait for you to learn the deepest lores and histories of One Piece. You'll keep wanting more. The next arc is gonna be the best storytelling you'll see.
