I won't lie I religiously enjoy One Piece and hold Oda on a pillar that no one else could live up to but even Luffy had to realize that no one is perfect and by extension it applies to Oda. So I have one request, I want to see an analysis on the most controversial topic, failure. Even the holy Miyamoto from Nintendo isn't perfect and I want to see a video on something in One Piece that doesn't live up to the rest of the series.
I’m just waiting for Sabo. Also, are you going revisit this after the ace novels are done?
Ace was amazing for me and death was emotional and help the development for Luffy.
Not to doubt you but if no one understands Ace then how do you 🤔
I'm not gonna lie, every time Ace gets criticised I die a little bit inside.
I think I love the character too much.
Ace can be criticised as a character on its own, with the following context: Had he been a main character in a story of his own, with the amount of development he had up to Marineford, he would've been a garbage MC, barely over Boruto (impossible to be worse than Boruto).
But he was not the MC of One Piece. His role on the story was to add to Luffy's background and bounce reactions off him, and in that regard, his character was great. People also claim that having his flashback before Marineford would have made it more impactful, and all-in-all better, but I entirely disagree with that claim. At the moment of Ace's death we are not supposed to be caring about him, but about Luffy and the world changing. Afterwards we get to know who Ace was, and then we can care about him in a more personal level, if we so desire, while we get to know about Sabo, and add a whole new layer of meaning to his demise.
So, what I mean with that little rant is that every time Ace gets criticised I just pity the critic who didn't understand what was happening in front of their eyes
Please do not compare Boruto to Ace. Ace may not have appeared as many times as Jinbei but he is still a better developed character than the entire Boruto cast.
@@tayojones9460 Don't get me wrong, I entirely agree!
The case I was trying to make is that, IF Ace had been the MC, and IF he had only had the development we got up until Marineford (i.e. going after BB, losing and getting executed) he could be criticised as a crappy character (yet even then better than Boruto).
But as he was *not* the MC, and his flashback was correctly place after his death.
I do get you, though. Having any character in a comparative sentence together with Boruto, even if it is to say it's better, is somehow hurtful
the only criticism i have is, for the love of god, swallow your pride for once and not squander the work of your brother and crewmates. i don't even fault him for wanting to go after blackbeard.
Ace was not garbage. He was not even given the bloody chance to be an MC. How do you know he could not because main lead?
There's a lot of tragedy behind Ace
1. He died because of who his father was.
2. He found the answer to his question when he was seconds away from dying.
3. He never knew Sabo was alive.
And that's why he's the first anime character that I have ever cried on.
bro SAMe
Yashua Fradkin the government saw everyone related to his father (Gol D. Roger) or helped him in any sort of way as a threat to the government so when they found out ace was his son they did everything in their power to make sure he was killed.
I didn't necessarily cry for Ace. Every time I would see Luffy start crying it always brought out the emotional side of me. When Ace died, it broke Luffy and seeing that expression on his face, which normally is always happiness, made me ball my eyes out. For a character who is always happy and finds joy in life to now start crying and being brought down, that shit just hits deep.
Yeah, I mean, I felt really sad with every Mugiwara backstory, but Ace was the only character that made me cry. I think I cried my heart out seeing Luffy but then when I read Ace's backstory and how he was trying to find meaning in his life, then remembering his last words just hit so freaking hard, I couldnt stop crying. I remember watching the anime 2 years ago and at some point I just had to skip the opening One Day because it was just too much crying. Every single episode lol.
I cried more when sabo said the same thing to luffys crew. That he can be a handful and to take care of him
"luffy, thank you for loving me" - Ace
That's Ace character finality. And it was glorious.
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Portgas D Ace the wise? No? Well it’s not a story the marines would tell you.
It's a pirate legend.
i dont get the reference :c
I see what you did there
does this have anything to do with doffy's speech?
kwstas moura no, when I first got the notification for the vid it was something like “the tragedy of portgas d ace” & I was like perfect time for a Star Wars reference
Reminder that Garp literally asked Sengoku to not let him move from that area else he’s gonna kill Akainu for killing Ace. I can only imagine how both of them felt in that moment.
Now i give u the 99th
But what if Ace die in execution without luffy come to save ace with the help of key-candle from Mr 3..
Did Grap still mad to executioner? as he mad to Akainu for killing ace?
@@whatshittuya3284 Nope, Garp had made peace with Ace being executed for being a criminal. What made him angry was the way Akainu killed him in a dishonourable way after he had been rescued already. Or at least that's how I see it
@@whatshittuya3284 Garp was pretty conflicted at the Marineford, first he said he isn't gonna do anything about it but then he cries. Later he stops Marco when he trying to save Ace but then he lets Luffy pass. His hatred for Akainu was rather emotional than logical.
Can Giray İçel i dont think he was expecting luffy to hit him though
Honestly, I want to learn more about Rouge and Roger meeting and that little short lived love story.
The Roger flashback is definitely going to happen after the coming arcs.
We know for well that is bound to happen and will shed so many mysteries and plot points that were previously unknown
@@doodledodo849 i mean i think we ve got enough roger flashback with oden to be fair
One Piece Anime Tv Show In Japanese Sub Anime Ok.
I'm Still Mad At Black Beard Him In One Piece Anime Ok .
That Fool Gold D . Roger His He Shouldn't Say His Son Ace His All You're Forth Gold D . Roger He Is The Worse I Still Hate Him To In One Piece Anime Tv Show In Japanese Sub Anime Ok .
I think that the reason why so many people don't like Ace is because they're sour about losing him after having so little time with him.
I think he's an amazing character. He has a burden best described as "sins of the father" and although that weighs down in him, possibly pulling him into a childhood depression at some point, he does everything possible to live life as free and happy as possible. "He has no compelling goal" they say? Well, "I want to live life with no regrets" is compelling enough. His carefree demeanour and positive attitude aren't just a reference to Luffy, Roger, and Shanks, but further support his life philosophy of living a life of no regrets. One cannot regret being happy and carefree but they can regret being depressed and stressed out.
Furthermore, that pride that got him killed isn't just a plot device to get him killed, it is the quality of a King. Roger and Whitebeard were famous for not retreating until their entire crews were safe, Ace refused to turn his back on Bluejam as it would risk Luffy's life. In this case, he was protecting his "father's" legacy and was blind to the power gap between him and Sakazuki.
We have seen enough of him to get a pretty good idea of who he is as a person but not enough to feel the same for him as we do for any of the Strawhats.
That is, in my opinion, why many of the fanbase don't appreciate him as much as they should. It's a tragedy, really, that he hasn't had a chance to reach his full potential both in the world and in the fanbase but I believe it is what actually makes the tragedy factor better.
I think it's important that we don't see much of him anyway because that what makes it all the more tragic. He died young = He didn't get to his full potential yet.
WE all should see that much of him because at the end we are viewing Ace from Luffy's perspective ( except the part where Ace started a fight with blackbeard because it is important to establish this scene from his perspective for better context of the following events) and not as another existing full character...because at the end, Ace lived mostly in Luffy's mind for us...
Thanks😁
I think that he actully did know the power gap but if he left without protecting his fathers legacy . What ever that needs of power he would regret it . 😁
@@fireflames5465 trueeeee
The part about him blindly fighting for WB's legacy with ignoring the power gap between himself and Akainu reminds me of what Blackbeard said to Luffy about some fights not being worth fighting.
I still don’t get how people can not like Ace ESPECIALLY after Marineford
He may not have gotten the slow growing character development that would usually make the audience emotionally invest in a character but he did develop, its peak was literally his death. The fragments of his life that was showcased to us bit by bit contrasts his initial introduction as the cool responsible older brother of Luffy (as seen when he appeared in Alabasta); those snippets of the past, like him talking to people in bars or where he asks Garp whether his life was a good thing makes you reflect on why he had been introduced that way and why he died that way. It makes you think about how all the things he did throughout the story was a means to justify his existence, his life, just to find the answer to the question he voiced out to Garp. And then you add in the memories of ASL, Sabo dying, and Luffy making Ace promise that he wouldn’t die and how that promise may have been considered a small justification of Ace’s life in the sense where he’d live for the sake of his younger brother or what not (but as found, it wasn’t enough for him to stop questioning his life).
Then when Ace was at the execution platform and everyone came in to save him, Ace is faced with the question “why are these people risking their lives for me?” which is aligned to his initial question of why him being born/his life was a good thing (because both questions demand for a justification of his existence and it’s worth for others to lay down their lives). He goes through a short stage of denial, telling the others to turn back, telling Luffy to get out, which was like asking them to abandon the significance of his life, the very question he had sought out to answer. But when Luffy denies and says he’ll save him because Luffy is his brother, it becomes a hint to the answer he seeks which we find out when he dies, is love. The love that other people have for him is what makes him significant to them. So many things within Marineford allowed him to work up to this realisation, Garp saying “I have no sympathy for pirates but for my family I do”, the Whitebeard pirates telling him to shut his trap and let them save him, and heck even when Whitebeard himself asked Ace if he was a good father to him; he mattered to them, he was loved by them, and that was all the justification they needed to believe that his life was a good thing. And only when he dies is when he fully accepts the answer he searched for and is immensely grateful not just for the love others had given him but for allowing him to find that answer.
His character development was not something explicit or served on a silver platter, it was something fragmented, messy, and short, a perfect representation of him and also a nice portrayal of him as a character and individual. The fragmented development was enough to have the audience to mourn and sympathise, not just because he was an extension of the main character, or merely Luffy’s older brother, but because he only had realised his dream, his answer to life, at its end, death. Man didn’t die while achieving his dream, he achieved it through death and that’s probably the most heartbreaking and ironic thing about One Piece because there’s the implicit theme of living out/living for your dreams.
I’m probably overanalysing, and yes Ace is an important plot device but it’s just really sad to find people discount him as a character even after all that happened :((
its really interesting how it is showed to us. Because even if you didnt love Ace until the point he died we still know how important he was to luffy (we have all of impel down showing us this and building this) plus we also are showed how kinda he was (oars story) and the fact that so many people love him already gives us a idea of what kinda of person he is so this makes a impactful death, we see and suffer together with Luffy and when we are at the deep of sadness Oda shows us who Ace was using Luffy flashback. (sorry my english)
I cried while reading this )): I love ace so much and I started this show for him so learning that lots of ppl don’t like him made me so sad )):
That was very well said👏🏻💞
I love you :') thank you for these words. I was feeling very dissapointed reading some silly comparisons of Ace's death and Corazon's (in Corazon's analysis video) and I just felt I had to look for an Ace video or request it to Ohara lol. People just didn't understand. Period. You just have to throw the emotions at their faces for them to realise.
you explained this beautifully, thank you
Wait, people thought Ace didn't get developed enough for the emotional impact? Luffy's reaction was likely meant as the main source of emotional impact. But I loved Ace as a character, I still feel a sad twinge even now since he died so suddenly, esp as we learn more and more about him. I think we were supposed to evaluate him as a character more so by how many people were willing to die for him, over on screen development.
Ace hated living in the shadow of his father, and knew at the end simply how happy he was to be loved, and that was a major enough resolution to his conflict. He was loved for being him, not the son of Roger
I really like what you said but I can't help but feel sad whenever Ace is mentioned in the story because I remember Ace before he died said that he wants to live. I still really appreciate how his death had major impacts in the story. He was happy to die for his brother but he would've been way happier to live longer with his brother. Well since this is a story, his death is better for the story but since I'm too emotionally attached, I can't help but wish for his happiness
I’m saying! Bro that junk had me sobbing for a solid 15 minutes after the episode finished.
"Burning Hatred", "Flaming Admiration", "Burning Will"...someone sure had a lot of fun with his script...
But seriously, this was a really good video. Ace is such a great character in my eyes and I am always a bit sad that he is disliked by so many. Also, people often miss out on the beauty of how Ace turned his back to the enemy, giving up both the face of his father and his pride for his little brother.
👀
@@Ohara-the-Fox 👀
I’m glad that present-day deaths aren’t a casual trend in One Piece. Oda understands how character deaths must hold a significant value to the story in which it shakes the plot and its characters to the core. Character deaths shouldn’t be casually thrown around solely for the sake of shock value
Damn right. People complain of the lack of deaths but if people were to die all the time it would ruin the impact of death in one piece, like it does in dragon ball for example.
One thing that shows that Oda is one of the best writers is that he can create tension without killing someone here and there. Ace’s and WB’s deaths weren’t only for shock value or for Luffy’s development, but set many things in motion especially in the New World.
yes, not every show needs to have a bunch of deaths. but i think for the most part, its things like the pell situation that the fanbase complains about in terms of death.
I completely agree, but there are certain deaths that just had to happen. I can forgive any fake death besides these two: Pell and Bentham. They both had the perfect setup for a death and it was needed for a good guy to sacrifice himself to show the high stakes of the situation
Marco D. Toon I agree, but Pell and Bentham being alive never bothered me that much😛
Ace's trait of not turning back whoever the enemy is was like a double edged sword I guess. He will always be my favorite character. ｡:ﾟ(;´∩`;)ﾟ:｡ On a side note, seeing Luffy's smile hearing Ace's story in Wano makes me proud of him.. just having to see his emotional breakdown over Ace's death was heartbreaking and made me think if he'll manage to be able to deal with it, good thing he did.
Hey scholars! If we manage to get this video to 500 likes till tomorrow, the next video will be out next Monday! 🦊
*Ohara* Hi. This is one of the moments that made me break into tears. I learned so much of who is Ace and how he became the coolest big brother once I saw him the first time briefly in the Snow Kingdom and wholly in Alabasta. I still have major hate towards Blackbeard and Akainu.
As if I wouldn’t like this without the encouragement
Theres alot missing in this video the fact ace didnt had caracther progression is perplexing to me you didnt mention Ace ties with WB Oden and Roger , BB Black vs Light theme , his coverstory , tama .....rly lackluster video
@@osupercesario1940 I mean all these things you mention are not wrong, they just have nothing to do with the argument I'm trying to make in this video imo. But if you see that differently let me know
I remember I hated the wimpy clashes of Marineford, but yeah. I cried.
I do wonder where is his original crew. Did WB killed them?
As for a vid... how about Bon Clay?
At first, I didn't care for Ace. Because of that, I didn't really pay attention to him and more or less concluded that he had been designed to die and "force" Luffy to get stronger.
Silly me
Re-reading one piece in order to remember the whole thing and continue where I had stopped a long time ago, I decided to pay a bit more attention to his character. Not because I was looking for a new favorite character, but because people's (sometimes massive) love for him was intriguing.
I realised that his death didn't only had an impact on Luffy, but also the rest of his crew. Ace's death is the final cement of the crew, of their friendship; their family. It made Luffy want to get stronger in order to protect what he had left : his family. And it drove the Mugiwara - devastated (for a lack of better term? I can't translate my opinion properly) that they weren't there to help their captain - to get stronger as well. (And because of that, I think the crew's composition shouldn't change after that. And if Jinbei joined them, it's just because he was there and lost Ace too. He had his place from the beginning)
And not only Ace's death affected the Straw Hats, it had a strong impact on the world as a whole : pirates, Marines, random people on random islands, emperors, etc. It gave them all new ambitions, vision of the world, opportunities, and many other things. And above all this; it gave Ace a purpose.
It didn't turn me into a fangirl; but I'm glad I took the time to think about the character I didn't care about and learned to appreciate him. They all have something to tell if we let them talk after all ^^
You are absolutely right. And I think specially the part where you say the crew should stay as is (because of Ace), that leads me to believe the only one that can join rn is Yamato.
why you not like ace bro
Ace is written very well and is NOT a plot device
Also literal FLAMES
Harnoor Singh even if he was, a character being used as a device to advance the plot is not inherently a bad thing
I dont think he is well written at all. we see almost nothing from him, learn nothing of his charakter until after his death. I personaly had no real emotions for his death, because he was a stranger for me. yes, luffy loved him, but we didnt know why, besides him being luffys brother and being cool. only after ace´s death we learn about the connection between the 3 brothers, but by than the time for emotions was gone, ace already died. for me, ace still is just a plot device with some emotions and a good backstory attached to him after his story has ended.
I dont get why people love him so much other than for being cool, having fire powers and being the only real death in one piece (+ WB ofc).
how i think Oda could have handled ace way better in my opinion: show the flashback of the brothers BEFORE ace dies. give me the ace novel BEFORE he dies. give me more than 20 panels. that way we have time to develop real emotions for him, to connect with him like luffy did. ace was nothing more than a cool side charakter who happens to have a unimportant relationship with luffy until after marine ford.
@@RayRay-dv9xg yeah show his back story after his dead was stupid
@@RayRay-dv9xg I disagree. I think Oda handled it beautifully instead of showing the flashback before Aces death and ruining the entire momentum of the war arc he waited till after the war and I think that was a good choice.
And the plot thing I don't get. If Oda wanted to use Aces death as a plot device Luffy would probably get a powerboost like Goku when he first achieved ssj. (If you haven't watched dbz then Goku's childhood friend Krillin was killed before Goku and Goku was unable to save Krillin. After Krillins death Goku turned ssj). That is a death I would call a plot device but I don't see how Aces death was plot device. Instead of getting a powerboost his brain malfunctioned lmfao. But feel free to explain :)
@@jasonofunzerburker5477 i think the flashbacks could partly have come after saobody, but maybe just luffy chasing after ace and only slightly teasing Sabo
I teared up watching this video. “Thank you for loving me.” The Marineford war was probably one of the happiest moments of Ace’s. After living his whole life questioning whether he should have been born, he finally realized the answer to that question and saw how much other people loved him and valued his life and how much his life was able to make other people happy. If I was Whitebeard, I think those words from Ace would make the whole war worth it even in hindsight. Marineford is brilliant in so many ways and alone would make One Piece a masterpiece in my eyes. Congrats on 40k!
HE DESERVES ALL THE LOVE BEST CHARACTER IN ONE PIECE
Fire Fist Ace disagree but he deserves more praise, luffy is easily the best character besides zoro
Yassssss I love Ace.
Ace's death messed me up when I saw it the first time... Hits me even more since I've had a sibling pass away a couple years ago.
Rip mann
Ngl I cried during this whole video😭
Since the beginning I loved ace and always payed attention to him, so when he died I felt like luffy, that overwhelming sadness and heartbreak was too much. But in the end, ace himself transfers that Will of Love not only to luffy but me the reader as well. It made me appreciate the straw hats even more and even made me loathe the Marines and akainu deeply. It really made me realize that death is final and the world in one piece needs changing.
Ace did so much to the story and my emotions than I thought he would at first, so I'm really glad I'm not the only one that sees that, or that can word it better, thank you ❤
Me: I'm not gonna cry... I'm not gonna cry.... I'm not gonna cry
Ohara: shows Ace falling into Luffy's arms with a hole in his chest
Me: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaceeeeeeeeeeeeeee! **crying loudly in the middle of the night**
i do this every few years.... it always hits.......
Same
what do people mean Ace didn't have enough character development to make is death impactful. when ace died I cry so much, and when I tried to continue watching I couldn't see through all the tears.
Ace also partially fulfills the role of a mentor figure who perishes so the young hero can come of age (at least until we see what happens with Shanks).
I do worry somewhat that we’ll get a remix of Marineford with Sabo, depending on how his situation turns out, but I’m trusting the Oda buildup for now
I do feel ace's character developed but not during the story, rather ace had gone trough his developed before Luffy started his journey.
We know that when ace set out to sea he was just like Luffy (apart from the heritage) , a unwavering will.
But the encounter with WB made him think that he wasn't strong enough, and made him give up on his dream.
So there are 2 importend differences to why Luffy and ace are different, first one is that ace never had a crew like the straw hats.
We know that the straw hats would rather give up on there own dream than the dream of Luffy.
And second Luffy never had the burden of his heritage influence him, i think this is a very overlooked characteristic of Luffy.
With out it he would never have been able to gather the straw hats and turn so many people to his side.
So ace's inability to let his heritage go made him a unsuitable candidate to be the pirate king.
👏🏽👏🏽 bravo
there is a novel Ace now, i still didnt read but maybe we can see more of he and his crew?
cant watch ace dieing without crying dude, the moment where he said "thank you for loveing me" is way to emotional
Fr gets me every time. This video had me sobbing
Really good video !
I really liked Ace’s character, even before his death because of his fundamental purpose in life ( Did I deserve to live ?) which moved me a lot but also his will to protect his young brother (the “family protection” vibe moved me).
and all his links with other characters (seeing Luffy going through the impossible to save Ace, Garp crying, all his friends within WB’s crew...) made me empathize even more with him...
So even if we didn’t knew him a lot before his death, I really enjoyed “the idea” I made of the character: and thus I was really moved by his death.
I got spoiled by aces death but I still cried. Ace is such a charming character and it hit hard.
How to sum up Marine Ford:
"local personality ruins everything"
Headlines!!
The problem is that I like Ace so much, he was too good to be just a side character. If only he had more screen time and focus, like if he had a full arc with the straw hats were he was very essential and focused on like Law's role in dressrosa.
My favorite character in op but I agree I wish ODA gave him a Lil more to do before his death then it’d be perfect.
I've been fascinated by Ace since he appeared in Drum Island. Can't wait to watch this video! ❤️
His character development from an angry lonely kid wanting to be accepted and needed by others for who he is to the strong, cool, polite pirate who managed to let go of his hatred for his father and himself through his brothers and liked by soo many, even now I have to emotionally prepare myself just to rewatch that arc knowing what will happen and Ace's last words of gratitude to his friends and family, smiling in fulfillment and Luffy breaking down held such an impact first time I watched it. (Never knew a fictional character could hold such impact)
When he died, I cried not because of Ace but because I was emotionally there with Luffy. That connection was only possible because of Ace.
I was holding back from crying throughout this whole video
You have done the Straw Hats, the Admirals, plus Vivi and Ace.
How about the Shichibukai or the Supernovas next? The supernovas are about to get some spotlight.
Hell yeah i want to see a Hawkeye video, a freaking Doflamingo video as well as a Capone, Eustass and Law.
heck yeah, i'd love to see an analysis Of Moria :D
That’s a bad idea. Eustass’s, Hawkins, and Killer’s full story hasn’t been explored yet, and we know jack shit about Urouge and Scratchman apoo, and we just barely know anything about Jewelry Bonney. A much better idea would be to analyze all the major villains of the series.
What about Law? He has gotten more development than the others
Yes! Doflamingo and Law please!
I think best thing about Aces chacter was him being a great cool and kind brother so he fit perfectly as Luffys big brother.
Just like Roger, Ace never backs down or runs away from a challenge whenever someone insults his friends or family. This happened when Ace and Luffy are both running away from Akainu. Akainu trash talked Whitebeard in front of Ace. As a result, Akainu attacked Luffy instead of Ace. And Ace used his body to protect Luffy.
I really miss ace, they really need to have a movie with ASL when they are older
Sabo's "supposedly" death was the first thing that made Ace actually cried... the fact that they never have the chance to meet each other again is quite emotional
First thank you Ohara for this video and the other content you create. Me and my One piece discussion group are big fans of these character analysis. Personally I would love to see a video about Kuma. Former Tyrant, Warlord, Travel agent and current Cyborg and still Revolutionairy??? The man has always been an enigma to me and yet always appealing.
Portgas D. Ace was an incredible (recurring) character in One Piece, where it showed his whole life during Luffy's memories of his childhood with Ace. And his young adulthood was the cobblestone of how a better person he became and had a family.
Sadly...the world (Blackbeard, Akainu, Marines, Impel Down and the ignoramus) took him from us. But Luffy will carry the fire that will never die. The Ds don't fall down without leaving an impact to the world.
*Suggestion:* Is justified to talk about the Chief of Staff from the Revolutionary Army: Sabo. After him, I would love to hear about "Snake Princess" Boa Hancock.
Oda power:
Gold roger die: create the biggest anime ever
Merry die: Everybody cry
Ace die: everybody shocked
Buggy sacrifice himself and eat the devil fruit so shanks can at least be a Yonko: COMPLETELY CRYING
Hey there, hope you are doing okay during those hard times Ohara-sensei ! First of all thank you for such a in-depth analysis this is really great work and it was a really pleasure to watch it ;) As for the people who say Ace doesn't have character development well this always kind of makes me laugh xd because well the guy went from being a grumpy lonely orphan to the best polite sunshine big bro and if this isn't evolution then I don't know what it is. Sabo's "death" and the bear incident were obvious turning points for him as a person.
As for another character analysis what about Sabo? I feel like many people in the fandom misunderstood him, thinking that he is Ace's copy but well bro I can't POSSIBLY agree with this. I mean while his story in Dressorosa provides a satisfaying closure to Ace's death (after all he is the only one who can tell Luffy it wasn't his fault back then) he still is an entirely different character with his own unique relationship with Luffy and his own purpose and personnality.
Anyway can't wait to see more of your videos and until then saty safe! Wishing you the best ;)
this is CAP! ohara lying to you all. ace is still alive. ive seen the EOS spoilers
- nice vid my guy
Get this guy on the Podcast!
I love your vids!
Man, i LOVE your analysis-videos! The amount of work you put in is just astonishing!
This man is doing a public service. I feel like there arent nearly enough youtubers going in depth about One Piece.
Ace is an amazing character.
I am also of that same mind I see on here a lot of him being disliked for little to no reason.
Dude didn't turn back from Blackbeard and even in flashback didn't even turn back so that's why he didn't even turn back from Akainu
I also think he had massive character progression through him accepting Whitebeard as his father
He didn’t give Akainu his face because the last thing he wanted to see before he died was his little brother’s face
I think we all accept Whitebeard as our pops
The fact that I'm watching this while shedding tears just goes to show how big of an emotional impact this scene and Ace's character arc can have.
The extremely fitting music that starts playing at 07:15 underlines and enhances this.
Wonderful summary and explanation. Your videos make me love each and every character as well as the series just a bit more than I already do!
Thank you for making these.
Ace´s death never really affected me directly. Now, Ace´s death effect on Luffy.. that was heartbreaking to read.
Same, I was spoiled, so I didnt feel anything
@@55pm I was spoiled too. I spent the next several hundred episodes in disbelief, so it had nowhere near the impact it likely would've had on me. Luffy's reaction really did hit hard though
@@candiedskull9841 the spoiler I received is probably the worst one. I just wanted to see someone buy One Piece merchandise, wanted posters etc. and one person while holding Aces wanted poster said "Ace deceased"... I just wanted to see someone buy One Piece stuff ffs but op 13 where Luffy caught up to Ace threw me off so it wasn't ruined for me.
Dadan's reaction... oof. Oda's an amazing writer.
7:43 "even if you did not like or care for Ace too much before his execution"
meanwhile me who firstly got spoiled by being forced by my both older brother & sister to watch Luffy's childhood before continuing the episode where I was (at Sabaody Park when the crew scattered): (҂⌣̀_⌣́) freaking I cried too much even while Luffy was still struggling in Impel Down. how am I not able to hold my tears? ಥ⌣ಥ my older brother & sister were just too cruel to my feelings...
The first antagonist luffy resents is Blackbeard as shown in the fight of impel down. My opinion
I'd like to see videos on overlooked characters, like King Ryku, Wiper or Fisher Tiger
@4:32 Woah! I never knew before that this is how Luffy actually inherited Ace's will!
This was an eye opener for me and really catches my whole intrigue in the concept of Inherited Will, more, really.
It actually makes me more grateful that the concept of Inherited Will is made in the story of One Piece, as it added a whole new layer of meaning to the narrative that I did not see just with my own knowledge alone or everything I know about Inherited Will and all its manifestations until this moment.
This beautiful video had me missing Ace so much and crying over him. To think that a fictional character has so much impact in our life, truly speaks volumes of ability that Oda San holds, and your narration just makes it loads better Ohara San.
dude your explanation caught me off guard.... made me emotional a bit
Bro your edits are so good. The illustrations/animations of each character you do, alone...awesome. And the cool filters and making everything wide-screen. Great taste!
Amazing analysis. 👍🏻👍🏻
yo. thank you for making me cry
Ace is such a great character and i'm so glad that he still gets mentioned in the story and wasn't forgotten
Good video Ohara
Golden tears this video brought.. thank youu! Great video!
Great analysis on Ace xD
I would recommend a character analysis on Bellamy. In my opinion one of the most underrated character in the entire series. He is very well written character.
Ace's death was something that hit really close to home. I lost my little brother due to disease a long time ago so I could really feel and understand how Ace and Luffy felt
I think Ace’s death was truly the most emotional moment in the whole series for me! For Luffy to lose his older brother, despite his most desperate efforts, and have the Boa Hancock story, Impel Down, the ENTIRE Marineford War end in that loss is what made the anticipation and ultimate tragic end gut wrenching. Ace’s importance and development in the story, didn’t seem to matter because I knew that he meant a lot to Luffy, therefore he meant a lot to me.
Hey O'hara. great job on the video. Love the cutscenes, naration and music. Please make a video about Mihawk. He is definitely one of the interesting yet mysterious character in one piece world. I would definitely watch that!
This Ohara Guy Make my Day all his videos are very very good
Hey, wonderful video on Ace, can you PLEASE do a video on Bon Clay he is super underrated and he is a badass character! 🦢
Your Videos are a 10/10. Videos that resemble what i look at when watching a series/anime. The very deep Meaning of Characters, their development, scenery and so on, just very good attention and analysis.
I now have a deeper understanding of Ace’s death. He is the most inspiring character ever developed in order Luffy to grow & the true meaning of unconditional love. He sacrificed his life for Luffy and WB pirates in order for them to continue to live on. Most importantly, this impacted Luffy’s warrior heart that losing his brother is equivalent losing a world. But, this brought Luffy to grow in order to save the people he cares about, he has to grow stronger and wiser in every battle. Ace will be never be forgotten in everyone’s heart as he captured respect and loyalty towards others. I will always treasure him into my heart forever.
P/S: Thank you for reading till the end, I couldn’t understood Ace’s death even I’m watching in Waco Arc. But now, I can have a clear understanding why Luffy loves his brother so much. After watching it, we must always love the ones around us and appreciate them whatever the reason is. Once again, thank you and have a great day ahead!
Good job you made me cry at the end! I'm gonna keep following my dreams so I can die with a smile on my face.
Ace was one of my first anime crushes and I was bawling almost as hard as Luffy when I found out that he died, I wasn't even caught up with the series at that point!
Yo, just wanted to say something. This was a great video, but i think you forgot to mention how Ace not only pushed Luffy through these 2 years of training and development but also his whole crew. You could pretty much feel how his whole crew noticed through what Luffy has to go through and this emotional shock they had, not being abel to help him come over it. They realised how strong Luffy had to be at that time, what gave them the ambition to, at least, try to be as strong as Luffy had to be. It even gave Luffy the chance to tell his crew not to meet, but to train for 2 years and then meet.
My favourite character hands down. I love him too much
You see, it's not that I wanted to see more character development out of Ace, I just wanted to see more of him in general before he died, both him acting as Luffy's older brother and just how he came to be where he was when he was introduced. It's nice to see more of him and how he started as a pirate, but the way that all of it came either right before and after his death made him give off the air of just a tool for someone else's character development, which wasn't something I was very happy to see.
I just found your channel today and watched the videos about Nami, Robin and now Ace. I really enjoyed watching them and will keep watching some others.
I'd love to see a video on Sabo too :)
noted! :)
8:59 - 9:20
My favourite part. The music, the lines and The Narration... Everything was perfect!! I have watched that part on repeat.
I'mma spam share this to Ace haters.
I love these videos so much! Keep up the good work man !!
Glad you like them!
I watched one piece anime 5yrs ago and I started dusting it a bit a little while back. Why the f is one piece so deep. All I remember is fights and devil fruits, feels like I watched one piece waaay too casually, saw Ohara's video on chopper and I was like F oda giving new answers for Frankenstein's sorrow, now aces character arc. Guess I'll be spending years uncovering a lot from Ohara's and Mr.Morj's videos and reading manga. Great video 👌
Ace is my favorite character out of all the animes I've seen, something about him is just 👌👌
"Pops... everyone... and Luffy... for loving a good for nothing like me.... THANK YOU!!!"
-- Ace's beautiful final words accompanied by the smile of the Will of D.
Damn! That was beautiful. I always did like Ace as a character despite his lack of development and
SPOILERS! (just in case)
His death was the 2nd time the series made me cry, with the 1st time being Luffy's breakdown at Sabody after losing his crew. The 3rd was the new opening after Ace's death which felt like a tribute to him. The feels were strong.
"He doesn't have enough character development to make his death impactfull enough"
Hes the only death i almost cried on
Even before watching one piece
Great content bro 🙏🏿
Amazing work, subscribed !
I agree. There is no “HOLE” in your logic.🙃🙃🙃
You should do Dalton, King of the Sakura Kingdom, he's a really deep and underrated character, the first zoan user we see, and showed a lot of honor during drum island
This gave me goosebumps, thank you so much.
Could you try to make a video about the going merry (kinda like in the usopp video, but deeper or with all important impacts of the merry storywise).
This would finally break me. I get tears in my eyes far to often from reading one piece, watching scenes (and your videos...lol) or thinking about the last chapter in about 5 years. But the most heartbreaking scene for me personally is the farewell of my beloved merry. It reminds me of my childhood. I can remember the first time watching this episode as a child...maybe 8 to 10 years old in German television. Crying like shit for an imaginary object from a fictional world. And up until the present Im crying each time watching this episode...I know all the dialogs, I see myself watching this scene years ago from the couch of my parents house. And Im very gratefull Oda could make me feel like that.
If somebody would ask me why Im so in love with OP I would tell this story. The story of an 22 year old guy crying like his juvenile self from years ago for this ship with a sheephead...
Please Ohara...would love to break up totally into tears by your merry video
Do a review on Crocodile next. He's quite the complex figure, and has a relation with seemingly every significant figure in the story.
People say that you never realize what you have until it is gone.
This phrase is really suitable in this context.
Dude had like 3 hours of screen time and it hit us like a truck when he died. Ace’s death was impactful for most of us because of how much we care for Luffy. This was Luffys sad arc, we didn’t get flashbacks like the rest of the crew, we lived it.
Great video, could you do the other half of the marineford arc. Whitebeard the first emperor we see go all out and go down and also the changing of eras
Thumbs up before watching as always
Ohara should have waaaay more followers y’all sleep on O’Hara dude is definitely OP when it comes One Piece RUclips
I...honestly do not know too well why I am so in love with the story of One Piece. The strength of how well-written its and every character are, the romantic and adventurous world of One Piece, the very intrigue lore and history of many areas we have seen and encountered and still yet to ponder...I find myself having a goal in mind to know how Oda write such a great and wonderful masterpiece.
I want to learn and gain experience, for a story that I want to one day write, when I know that it is my time to write it.
Thank you so much for pointing out the music
Good job, Im ready for a reserection of portgas d ace ✔🔥🌠💯
Thank you for the video. Do you think Ruffy will face Akainu sometime in the future? How will this act out? Going all out in revange-rage dose not suit Ruffy, but how should he react? Will he fight him, or maybe with him against the world goverment, if the marines revolt after discovering the hidden-truth at the end?
Ruffy is the kind of character that is motivated by hatred or act out of revenge, but this time he may change.
I personally wanna see a situation where akainu somehow fights a greater threat like blackbeard, and its clear that they should team up to have a chance, but luffy faces a huge dilemma, will he put aside his grudge for akainu or go out of his way to fight both?
I love Ace, but when Sabo was reintroduced as someone with amnesia to basically replace Ace, my first impression of him was mehhhh. I grew to love Sabo. I just dislike amnesia stuff like if Ace is so famous, why didn't Sabo read about him in the newspaper or when Luffy did all the crazy stuff at Enies Lobby? I guess this is nitpicking lol.
Anyways, great vid. Maybe you can do a Sabo analysis!
Ace is an incredible character, he shows so much about other characters even when they have little to no interactions with Ace. Recently I've been thinking more about Roger and some controversial aspects of him. Roger is undoubtedly a great pirate, earning himself the "Pirate king" title, but he is not a great father. He is said to be the man with the most freedom on the sea but he took away Ace's freedom, Ace was never free. I'm convinced that Roger wanted Ace to fulfill what he and his crew could not do when discovered Laugh Tale and the truth about the void century. Ace did not inherit Roger's will, Roger's will was forced onto Ace, making Ace question his existence his whole life.
Great video!
I think the next character should be Whitebeard
