We just uploaded our reactions to episodes 213-219 over on Patreon for anyone wanting to get over a month of early access! Water 7 starts this week! www.patreon.com/carlie_and_ange Thanks for watching! ❤
yeah, you guys are probably the only reactors i watched that i religously stick around for the discussions. i mean this in the nicest way possible, you guys surprise me with your predicions and theories to the show, you guys are really smart about it but not too smart that you make urselves look like smartasses which i really really enjoy.
25:30 Yeahhhh, love your guys' discussions. Only One Piece reactions where I watch every single discussion. The crew and "MVP" segment go a long way towards making me look forward to each discussion segment.
Skypiea being disliked is misguided imo. I think a lot of people aren’t as attached to the side characters aside from the Noland backstory, and that clouds their evaluation of it. I think it’s a great arc, and had a lasting impression on me on my first watch as it was the first place in One Piece that had a fantastical element to it. That grouped with the great crew moments and emotional punches made it one of the most memorable early on for me.
I always preferred skypea over alabasta because I love the sense of adventure and mistery. When I learnt that people online skip it because "it's bad and useless" I couldnt believe it. At least now those people seem to be much less
I feel like Skypiea have the weakest side characters in the whole story, except for Noland and maybe Viper, all the other characters aren't good. Hell even the antagonist is not that good, well probably because his motives are unclear, which i understand might be intentional to tie it up with something in the future. IT IS one of the funniest arc and the crew interactions are amazing, that I will give to this arc. Also the plot relevancy too.
The skypeia skippers/haters are just some vocal minority and a small one that if there is any left that is because as the story as progressed, skypeia is actually one of if not most important arc retrospectively. And it just makes sense because unlike other arcs and sagas which have their main themes separately ofc still mostly being one of the major themes of op but no other arc encapsulates what one piece is all about at its cores , the adventure, dreams, liberation. (Other than the found family and friendship aspect of themes) Skypeia portrays all the main op themes perfectly.
I think the reason people disliked Skypiea early on was because it “didn’t tie into the rest of the story”, which is nuts to me because One Piece is literally all about adventure and exploring new and exciting places. To me this arc shook me to the core the first time I watched it, and it’s definitely one of the most romantic parts of this story out there. Peak romanticism 🙏 Can’t wait for the finale
The people that say "it didn’t tie into the rest of the story” have no clue how Oda writes. EVERYTHING TIES INTO THE STORY. they are just aren't patient enough to let Oda Cook
The argument that skypiea isn't tie into the rest of the story is easily debunkabke because it will mean that blackbeard will be a filler character as any Jaya's character or that annything related to Usopp, Robin or the Merry in the W7 saga will not happen either.
Luffy is someone who truly believes in the values of the people and how much they are loyal to themselves and their friends. That is the reason why he supports every single person who treats well him and one of his friends. He will bring down everything and anyone for a single person to just return a favor.
i absolutely ADORE your discussions!!! they are so much fun and honestly your videos with the longest discussions are some of my fav videos ever, like the one when you debated over carlie not wanting to have any repeats in her crew and keeping the husbando slot blank was hilarious!! absolutely love watching you both discuss these episodes and the crew segment makes it so fun!
Srsly ppl who dislike skypea just don't understand one piece, these are no fans. It is so important to the overall storyline and world building and even back when we didn't know and watched this for the first time it is a great fun to watch, there is character development, a great backstory and also one of the first fantastic backstories not tied to a straw hat, but tied to the history of the world, it is also robins first great arc, whats not to like??
I think the whole crew will eventually blend together and you won’t be able to rank them soon. Except for luffy who will most likely be the sole favorite.
Hello Carlie and Ange, nice discussion as always (27:23 I think you were talking about Kouina who was more of a rival, in a positive way, to Zoro). Fun fact: For what I have read so far, Luffy does not "think" in the manga (he has no internal dialog, no "bubble" for the reader to have an idea of what he is thinking) which means that he only shines through his words and actions. It is a deliberate choice, in my opinion, as all the other characters, specially the straw hats, have panels with internal dialogs.
I mostly agree, but Luffy does have a few thought bubbles, just not that many since he either tends to voice what he's thinking or act on it. Most of the time he's shown having an emotional reaction to something that he remembers or something that he's being told, so a lot of people overlook what goes on in his mind. It's often not put into dialogue or explanatory text, but manga puts a lot of weight on facial expressions and body language, as well as on actions taken in response to things. And, of course, through dialogue, but it tends to be circumspect rather than direct (though Luffy is more direct than most).
Dont worry, those romances you guys want do exist. A solid amount of strawhats have ships. Both small ships and big ships. They're just far ahead lol. I'm normally not a huge romance guy but man, theres a certain ship i cant wait for yall to react to and discuss. Its so unbelievably good.
I LOVE this arc, from the very 1st time i watched it, one thing one piece is about is adventure and this arc really gives me that, since the moment that we were told of a sky island and how we were going to get up there i was in! And the more i watched the more amazed i was. It truly was the first arc that got me speechless, thinking "oh this is great" i liked it op before but this arc took it to another level for me. I'm caught up and is in my top 5, probably my #3 fav arc. Its so GOOD and funny too and one thing i don't like is when ppl say or just care about the arc bc of some foreshadowing, its good on its own! I loved it since the very first watch anyways skypiea i'll always love you ❤️😅 Always watch the whole videos, i really like to hear both your thoughts and what you do with the crews and reading the sbs is interesting and entertaining 😄👍
the 'skypiea is disliked' story is so outdated. That shit was about 15 years ago and no one ever said anything about it again. OP fans really love to live in the past....
Remember everything in skypiea is extremely important to end game one piece!! Whoever skipped it won’t even know what’s going on that’s how important it is
27:34 In Japanese, it is actually a three 'letter' (character) name; Kuina (Ku-i-na), and Kaya is Ka-ya. 'Kya' in Japanese is actually the onomatopaea for a scream, and is pronounced with the k and y blended, as in 'Kyoto".
I’m always equally excited to watch the reaction as I am to hearing your discussion about it 🥰 it’s what hooked me to the channel in the first place! And I can’t wait for you to see the chemistry secondary characters will have with the some straw hats in the future! I’m looking forward to your shipping 😂
I really enjoyed skypiea when I watched it a few months ago I didn’t realize it was disliked. Like is it super strong no but it’s enjoyable overall and it sets up so much for the future that nobody even realized
The thing with skypiea is that imagine all those episodes of luffy running and having to wait a week for each chapter... 1 month basically luffy trying to get to where eneru is hahahah that's why it bothers me but it's a very good arc
Its crazy to think about Skypeia's importance for the future. It's one of those arcs that grows on you the more episodes you watch when you notice the ties. Obviously i wont spoil anything but my fellow manga readers know what im talking about with that recent chapter. This arc ties in with so many parts of One Piece its genuinely insane. Some of, if not the biggest reveals were foreshadowed in this arc. btw, just incase for those who want to add on what im saying, be careful with your wording please. Try not to spoil or "hint" at these reveals/foreshadowing/ties.
Skypiea problem is mainly just the pacing. I myself loved the arc a lot more on a rewatch when I knew what to expect with the pacing. Also the Noland Calgara backstory came in a little too late, so I was more invested in the Shandians' story the second time around.
One piece back in the day: I hate Skypiea because it’s boring and doesn’t relate to the overall story One piece today: HOLY SHIT SKYPIEA HAS BEEN ALLUDING TO EVERYTHING! THE WAS ONE OF THE BEST ARCS EVER!!!!
@@aqsw57 The "doesn't relate to the overall story" is so hillariously wrong as it is related to blackbeard with the Jaya arc (aka the likely main antagonist of OP) and to Usopp, Merry and Robin in the W7 saga (aka the likely best saga of OP). However, the anime didn't make a favor to skypeia by dragging the pace which was great in the manga.
I think the discussion is the most fun part, honestly! It's so interesting to hear what you think about what's going on and how you interpret things. Skypiea isn't as well loved as other arcs mostly because the anime really does drag it out to an unreasonable extrent. It messes up the narrative tension and energy of the adventure in too many places, and this arc (aside from the more seriouis themes) is very much about adventure in and of itself. (As an example, Luffy didn't try to get to Ener through the same useless means over and over again, that's the anime filler padding the episode out. The fight against Satori also was SO MUCH SHORTER, that part was made extremely tedious in the anime. And so on and so forth, with a lot of little things that add up to a large effect. There's just a lot of repetition that gets annoying. It's not even the worst arc for it, to be honest, but it's the first one where it's this noticeable, I'd say.) As for the romance, I think that it's both that it doesn't really fit with the tone most of the time (and Oda has pretty much stated that that's the reason why he doesn't include it), but I also think that to make it good and not feel tacked on and superficial it would take up too much space in an already packed story, you know? Also, the couple I prefer would have no chance to be made canon at all, so I selfishly prefer to have no confirmation of anything so that I can imagine whatever I want, lol.
I think the problem most people had with Skypeia was the lack of impact it had in the world. None of the crew's exploits make waves in the "normal" world. p.s. - Ange, have you listened to any Polyphia? You might really like them if not (check out G.O.A.T, Playing God, Ego Death, or O.D. for a start).
since you guys were talking about romance, i think you guys should add in a 'ship' category for the next arc. basically 2 characters you guys think would make a good couple, or even the cutest relationship eg, usopp and kaya
Oh robin really admire luffy. Keep watching u will see luffy and robin have special bond. She the only strawhat member who never hit or scold luffy. i really love this arc people who dont like this arc coz there they feel lile this arc have nothing to do with world goverment and marine so it feel like this arc is just filler arc. It is not. And noland n calgara story is really good. Its a perfect storyline I got goosebump when oda first introduce noland in manga coz how contra he is than the image that was written in the book. Oda did say he is against romance especially among strawhat members but keep watching. There is romance for sure for them. Juat not the way u imagine it 🤣🤣🤣😌😌
For me skypeia is still my top 1 arc comedy world building villain power system adventure drama all of this in one arc ..we saw Noland backstory and if one piece fans notice it Noland is a parallel of gol D rogers but the difference people didn't believe to Noland even he's telling the truth and everyone believes to Rogers even there is no proof for one piece it exist
Oda said he will not write romance within the crew but mostly bc he think he cant do it (after he said that he at least showed more romance stuff outside of the crew) and also many ppl see the crew as a family, but there is also a huge bubble of ppl who ship all the straw hats (as in a poly relationship) bc you cant pick the best straw hat they are all so great, loved (and in need of love giving their back stories) and unique and every straw hat has their special connection to every other straw hat that comes with chemistry and behaviour you only get to see between these two, which is wonderful to see. Watching Chopper and Robin is special in one way, Namis relationship with Luffy is special, but also her connection with Sanji or with Usopp, the relationship between Zoro and Sanji is unique as well you will be able to finde something special in every Duo if you think about it. The filler episodes usually tell a bit more about it but it that doesnt mean that the chemistry is not canon. Sometimes Oda uses the background of a panel to indicate stuff that can be easily missed and the anime created a whole scene or episode around this detail which is awesome. Also the one piece shipping community is HUGE Bc the straw hats are giving so many loving vibes in this very positive way its getting more and more every arc And robin and zoro are choppers parents, thats a fact 😂
Been watching you for a while, I don’t know if it’s just me or it is true that ange low key hates luffy. The other characters do a little of good or get good story for an episode they get pushed but luffy Dsnt get that treatment. It’s all good, we love all of them but luffy, zoro and Sanji ❤❤
We just uploaded our reactions to episodes 213-219 over on Patreon for anyone wanting to get over a month of early access! Water 7 starts this week! www.patreon.com/carlie_and_ange
Thanks for watching! ❤
I like how Luffy wants to ring the golden bell not to prove that Bellamy was wrong but to let Cricket know that he was right
yeah, you guys are probably the only reactors i watched that i religously stick around for the discussions. i mean this in the nicest way possible, you guys surprise me with your predicions and theories to the show, you guys are really smart about it but not too smart that you make urselves look like smartasses which i really really enjoy.

Glad you like it! We're going to keep improving those segments as we go

That grouped with the great crew moments and emotional punches made it one of the most memorable early on for me.
The longer the story goes on the more important skypiea was
The early/middle parts drag a bit in the anime, but Skypiea in manga was always solid. To be fair that goes for most One Piece arcs :D
I always preferred skypea over alabasta because I love the sense of adventure and mistery. When I learnt that people online skip it because "it's bad and useless" I couldnt believe it. At least now those people seem to be much less
I feel like Skypiea have the weakest side characters in the whole story, except for Noland and maybe Viper, all the other characters aren't good.

IT IS one of the funniest arc and the crew interactions are amazing, that I will give to this arc. Also the plot relevancy too.
I felt the manga do justice more for skypiea arc than the anime, imo
The skypeia skippers/haters are just some vocal minority and a small one that if there is any left that is because as the story as progressed, skypeia is actually one of if not most important arc retrospectively.

That is the reason why he supports every single person who treats well him and one of his friends. He will bring down everything and anyone for a single person to just return a favor.
You are right .The legends and myth and relics shown in skypiea all contribute to the story. I love this arc very much
This is still one of the best story in one piece. Ignore the haters
i absolutely ADORE your discussions!!! they are so much fun and honestly your videos with the longest discussions are some of my fav videos ever, like the one when you debated over carlie not wanting to have any repeats in her crew and keeping the husbando slot blank was hilarious!! absolutely love watching you both discuss these episodes and the crew segment makes it so fun!

I think the whole crew will eventually blend together and you won’t be able to rank them soon. Except for luffy who will most likely be the sole favorite.
Skypeia is my favorite arc of the whole manga, the comedy, the adventure, the lore dropped being important for the whole series etc
Wyper learning the truth is one of my favorite moments in Skypiea.

Yeah i never really see anyone say 'skip Skypea'. The one i always see is people complaining about those non existent comments.
Can't wait for the 5th opening cover. It's my favorite in the series and the start of one of the best arcs
Remember everything in skypiea is extremely important to end game one piece!! Whoever skipped it won’t even know what’s going on that’s how important it is
27:34 In Japanese, it is actually a three 'letter' (character) name; Kuina (Ku-i-na), and Kaya is Ka-ya. 'Kya' in Japanese is actually the onomatopaea for a scream, and is pronounced with the k and y blended, as in 'Kyoto".
This arc contains so much foreshadowing. That's all I will say.

Love this arc so much next ep I cried like a baby (when I read manga)
Skypiea problem is mainly just the pacing. I myself loved the arc a lot more on a rewatch when I knew what to expect with the pacing. Also the Noland Calgara backstory came in a little too late, so I was more invested in the Shandians' story the second time around.
This arcs antagonist super saiyan rosé Goku really came in hot with that spirit bomb
191 might be my favorite episode
One piece back in the day: I hate Skypiea because it’s boring and doesn’t relate to the overall story
One piece today: HOLY SHIT SKYPIEA HAS BEEN ALLUDING TO EVERYTHING! THE WAS ONE OF THE BEST ARCS EVER!!!!

Oda did say he is against romance especially among strawhat members but keep watching. There is romance for sure for them. Juat not the way u imagine it 🤣🤣🤣😌😌
this arc is important for the one piece story
try to get more info from it because oda always likes to connect everything together
One piece is not disliked, but most of the community agree it's got a bad pacing
For me skypeia is still my top 1 arc comedy world building villain power system adventure drama all of this in one arc ..we saw Noland backstory and if one piece fans notice it Noland is a parallel of gol D rogers but the difference people didn't believe to Noland even he's telling the truth and everyone believes to Rogers even there is no proof for one piece it exist
We want next Anime Series which is IDATEN JUMP
I love

Also the one piece shipping community is HUGE
Bc the straw hats are giving so many loving vibes in this very positive way its getting more and more every arc
And robin and zoro are choppers parents, thats a fact 😂
SPOILERS
imagine people who skipped skypiea and thought it is not important. After final chapter i am almost certain Enel will return
Man don't expect romance from one piece
Long ring long island is by FAR the worst by a MILE....
Been watching you for a while, I don’t know if it’s just me or it is true that ange low key hates luffy. The other characters do a little of good or get good story for an episode they get pushed but luffy Dsnt get that treatment. It’s all good, we love all of them but luffy, zoro and Sanji ❤❤
I think it's too late you uploaded op episode
