"One may stray from the path of a man. One may stray from the path of a woman. But one cannot stray from the path of a human! Okaaaamaaaa waaaay! by Bon Clay!
It's a sharp reply too. Magellan's priority is restoring order. "If you are done rioting... there's no need to kill you. Let's put you back in prison."
Completely agree in fact he’s one of the reasons growing up in a black community in the early 2000’s y I was so tolereant and didn’t care about sexuality only if your a good person
All whatever gendered people in ALL of Western media can't compare to Bon Clays epicness. He is the truest human, the greatest believer in friendship. He lives by his own beliefs and ideals.
And here is the exemple of people still on the cope. Yamato wants to be Oden, because Oden really inspired her not sufering from gender dysphoria. You want a trans character look at Kiku, she is cool and deserve more credit.
Everyone is capable of Good & Evil. Everyone is scared of something. But Bon Chan/San shows human capacity to stand up for our beliefs & the ones we treasure. Bon Clay isn’t just one of best written characters we’ve ever seen. He encapsulates what it means to be human, both the best & worst qualities… every time I see Bon Chan/San’s Sacrifice, I always cry.
For some reason I loved his charecter from the moment he was on screen,even before he switched sides. What really sold me was when he called Hina and the Marines the "Non-Fun" people. 😂
@entityoferrors There are no romances on the crew at all so far, so we don't know for sure what everyone's sexuality is. Sanji is def straight, and Usopp and Brook are most likely just straight. Other than that, we have no idea. Luffy is probably ase, no idea for Zoro, Jinbei, Robin, Franky, Nami or Chopper.
@@MysticTech I think Zoro is Straight, there was time that he's blushing around Woman like Kuina, Tashigi, and Hiyori but he's just too focused on his goal. Oh and Chopper too when he sees female mink that looks like a deer
I never thought i would like bonclay after what he did in alabasta , but at that time i was still not aware of One piece Greatness , i was shocked of how much i liked his character in impel down , being a person who values friends to the limits , i was moved by how Bonclay sacrificed himself to allow luffy a not guaranteed chance to save his brother , Trully an amazing hero and an outstanding Friend , i wouldnt have minded if he became a strawhat , the way you narrate and analyse these characters is trully remarkable , super happy i found this channel
Bon Clay can be your best friend, your boyfriend AND your girlfriend at the same time. If that doesn't make him the greatest, then I don't know what you need brah!
I love how Oda made him legendary when I was a child and just appreciate him for his heart and not his looks. When I grew older I started to appreciate his looks and when he was in Impel Down that was just so hype
I'd love for that to happen, but isn't Bon Clay dead as far as Luffy knows? I know that we _readers_ know of GOAT Clay's survival, but I'm pretty sure Luffy and the other escaped criminals think BC died helping them get through the Gates of Justice. If BC's gonna come back, i don't think the Straw Hats are gonna be the ones to rescue.
@@soap9277idk if this was anime only but while luffy was crying over bon Chans sacrifice buggy says he’s dead anyway so let’s celebrate that we escaped and luffy punches him in the nose and says we don’t know that for sure
@Endbringer-u3x what the hell are you talking about? Luffy would literally die for complete strangers let alone his friends... it's clear you haven't watched a lick of one piece.
Bon-chan-san might well be single most perfect representation of the moral relativism/gray world view of the story, and our heroes, particularly early on in the story: By all accounts, he was a career assassin and seemingly completely remorseless criminal, as shown by his rise to the top ranks of Baroque Works (also something to consider when looking at Vivi and Igaram and thinking about how they reached their quite high-ranking positions...)... but also an unwaveringly loyal friend, to an almost absurd degree. Honestly, it's more difficult to comprehend how the same guy who didn't hesitate to kill people or turn all of Arabasta against Cobra (SERIOUSLY; he successfully turned the people against their King, yet none of us hate him, whereas Doflamingo failed to get the majority of the people to believe King Riku had betrayed them and was slaughtering them, and all of us think he's the absolute worst. ...Make sense of that, why don't ya...) also didn't hesitate to sacrifice himself for the Straw Hats despite just recently standing up to them as an enemy and fighting Sanji... Capricious; as whimsically impulsive in his choices as he is fluid in his self-identity... Ultimately, Bon Clay is one of the most brilliant displays of the series' ideal of individual freedom; no matter how flawed our choices, sticking to your principles, even if met with negative consequences, is something to be admired.
Why is Bon Clay a GOAT? Simple, he got his own story where his character was thrown into conflict and he became a better person. He had a turbulent journey and he came out of it a better man. But most importantly, his morals are outstanding. He became a beacon of humanity.
I appreciate a lot how you don’t forgive or excuse or ignore his bad deeds. You address them with sadness and reflection, acknowledging them 100%. I think Oda would be happy with that choice, as he’s not one to sweep his nations history under the rug.
omg i cant belive myself that 15:04 when bon clay stayed by luffy cheering him up tears started running down my face this is brobably 4th or 5th time i cried at a tv show ever. THIS scene is powerful
Bon Clay is quite possibly my favorite character in one piece because of how devoted he is to his friends, he struggles with his convictions and even fails in what he believed in, only to rise again. Bon Clay is not the best character ever written, but he is absolutely a perfect representation of how humans belief and fear works. We all struggle to live up to what we would teach others, and it's nice when we get a lovable character who goes through the same internal hardship.
It's probably an attempt to either make it easier to understand for those who aren't familiar with what an okama is or an attempt to omit the line entirely. In the Crunchyroll subs at least, any time he says Okama it is almost always changed to "oh come my way" unless there is literally no other way to skirt it, in which case it's changed to "queer" or "queers"
Even back in Alabasta Bon Clay was one of my fav. characters and def. the best side antagonist. And after Impel Down he became my fav. character of all time. I am currently at the beginning of Wano and nothing has changed🫡
Bon-chan is one of my favorite characters in the entire show. The depth to his character is phenomenal. He's hilarious, he's cool, he's just genuinely fun to have on the screen at all times, and he has some of the most memorable moments of the arcs he shows up in. He will always be an honorary Straw Hat in my view. He's done every bit as much to risk his life for Luffy's as any of them have. I will never forget him desperately screaming for Luffy's recovery for half a day straight. Fucking chills. I'll never forget Bon-chan.
Honestly, the thing that has me the most worried about the second Netflix season of One Piece is just how they'll depict Bon Clay. Getting Chopper right is mostly a technical issue, but Bon-chan is bound to rub Netflix the wrong way for ideological reasons. Oda better keep a firm hand on the wheel for as long as the show is allowed to continue.
Bon clay is truly a brother he is absolutely without a doubt one of the greatest people you could have at your side no matter how dark or tough or insufferable things get you know that Bon Clay will have your back through thick and thin because he is that one friend that cannot be disrespected Take off your hats and a moment of silence for a true all blue legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bonclay is loved because even at his worst, he has a specific set of principles, and those principles, when put on the right path, make him very lovable. He will go to unbelievable lengths for his friends, and even when he wavers, he will make it up to you 10 fold.
I think that Bon Clay had possibly the best development of all villains in the anime. A man with a botched sense of morality but a big heart of gold becoming the leader of Impel Down's secret, hidden society of prisoners is perfect. His entire flaw as a character is treating strangers with disdain - now he's leading a society with constant new arrivals of prisoners. If Luffy ever returns to Impel Down, I bet Bon Clay won't accept his offer to leave - because Bon knows that Impel Down will forever get more and more additions to the prison, more people who are doomed and tossed aside like trash by the Marines; people that Bon can try to help.
I hope that one day in the future, Bon Clay gets his X mark. He posed as an allie but lacked the mark of friendship. Now as a true friend (Luffy acknowledged him by name, which he only does to friends) it would be fitting he gets his mark of friendship. Preferably by protecting Luffy or another strawhat and taking damage. Similar to Luffy X on his chest.
You get an automatic like just for the title. Bon Clay is the best character and his last episode was the best and most heartbreaking one I ever saw. I'm so happy to learn that he found his paradise!
Another English dub VA that knocks it out of the park. The "Oh come my way!" is not even close to the original line but the delivery is just freaking great who cares.
Bon Clay is beloved regardless of anything............an absolute amazing character. I knew nothing about One Piece a year ago. Nothing! In my opinion, now, Oda is the greatest story teller EVER. I don't even think it's close.
I’m not gonna lie idk why some reason ivankov are my favorite characters fr even with me growing up in a more intolerant environment i have my prejudices at times
i'm actually a big fan of how "weird" and not dumbed down bon clay's identity is. i *never* see bigender characters, even in praised queer media, so to find one in one piece of all things, and for that character to be so beloved, was a breath of fresh air for me. op's queer rep can be pretty hit or miss for me, but bon clay really hits the mark. that's the reason i also love iva and inazuma by extension. they're weird and exaggerated but not in a stereotypical or derogatory way, and all of them, bon clay included, have luffy's full respect. that's just awesome to me.
Definitely, some people don't agree with the exaggeration, but Oda writes EVERY character to be exaggerated and quirky, so he just treated writing bon clay, iva, etc the same way
Why isn't he on any anime self-sacrifice list he did it like four times and if you want famous last words how about swans never die and never say goodbye
There wasn’t a character i respected so much in One Piece till Bon Clay He’s such a homie helping Luffy in a pinch even if it meant certain death and his final stand against Megellan still lives in my memory rent free. What a legend “Okamas never die!”
Impel is genuinely so goated, I’m really happy I found him before he blows up. He makes really quality videos so it’s only a matter of time before one of his videos hits the algorithm and everyone realizes how good these videos are.
Damn years later and watching this video actually made my tear ducts go wild, i cant' stop crying about thinking of my loyal dear friend bon clay. i love ride or die characters.
I love the detail that, the outfits he chose to lie low in were outfits that Sanji would wear. Suits or brightly coloured outfits with closed in shoes and the number 3. Seems like the respect carried with him.
As much as I’d love Bon Clay to join the main Straw Hat crew, I can totally see Oda adding him to the Straw Hat Fleet for whatever battle we’ll have for the fleet later, probably leading a ship of Okamas either alongside Ivankov or from escapees from Impel Down 5.5
Bro I recently started watching One PIece and all throughout Alabasta I was like damn Bon Clay is such a great character i really love his design and all his apperances and he's propably my favorite character of the arc and there were many great ones in this arc. Glad to see I'm not the only one
A few things I personally like about Bon Clay: *He was a fairly fun and unique villain (though One Piece has a lot of these) during his introduction *He wasn't introduced upfront as a bad guy; he was just one of the boys during his first interaction with the crew before we learned he was a Baroque Works agent *His redemption arc in Impel Down was impeccable
"One may stray from the path of a man. One may stray from the path of a woman. But one cannot stray from the path of a human! Okaaaamaaaa waaaay! by Bon Clay!

What does stray mean and okama mean
@@chandanpatil9936 stray like wayward like a stray dog... okama is a japanese term for a gay person or crossdresser.

Bon Clay was probably the first queer character I saw on TV as a kid that was treated like a person instead of a caricature or throw away plot device.
Completely agree in fact he’s one of the reasons growing up in a black community in the early 2000’s y I was so tolereant and didn’t care about sexuality only if your a good person

Realistically for as much twitter hates oda for confirming that yes yamato is a woman, his actually queer characters are always awesome.
@@MrRobot-0 Oda has never confirmed that btw, the vivre cards arent written by him, and it just says that yamato was born female

They gonna meet again someday. cant wait to see that moment!
A few things I personally like about Bon Clay:
*He was a fairly fun and unique villain (though One Piece has a lot of these) during his introduction
*He wasn't introduced upfront as a bad guy; he was just one of the boys during his first interaction with the crew before we learned he was a Baroque Works agent
*His redemption arc in Impel Down was impeccable
MY GOAT
Absolutely GOATed.
