Garp and Zeff having those scenes together was a fantastic addition, imo. We really don't get to see Garp interacting with his contemporaries besides Sengoku and Tsuru in the manga, so this was a nice touch.
Who do you think they'll get for Sngoku and Tsuru? They can't write them out - definitely not Sengoku. And I'm hoping they won't write out Tsuru, I like her. As far as the tough white haired ladies in this show goes, we've all but confirmed we'll get Jamie Lee Curtis to play Doctorine. Who can we get for Tsuru?
I love how they kept buggy important to the story also having the final part of the episode being the Nami asking for help and the squad getting ready to battle arlong is so freaking cool
They did Nami sooooo well in this. A character who has had to be on her own for so long, who has been carrying not only the burden of her town's survival, but hatred from those same people, finally, FINALLY being able to ask for help. Luffy trusted her goodness even more than her own sister, and earned her trust through that. Nothing breaks me more than a character who has had to be strong finally being allowed to show weakness............I was in pieces
Damn... no matter the medium this story just hits HARD 😢😭 And I cannot praise Emily Rudd enough, she is FANTASTIC as Nami and she did *justice* to the iconic "Luffy... help me" scene. Just perfect and heartbreaking 💔 I think what makes One Piece, One Piece is the CHARACTERS and this live action *nails* that aspect! Perfection.
Arlong Park is based off Sabaody park because Fishman weren’t really allowed there. If they went it was risky as all the slave markets/celestial dragons were there. They used to gaze at the lights from the sea and wish they could go, Fishman like Hody Jones and his crew, even Arlong and his crew etc. So Arlong recreated a park like it for Fishman only.
I love the Help Me scene so much! The "Help Me" scene is treated with the reverence it deserves, serving as the emotional centerpiece of the season. After Nami finds out Arlong betrayed her, she runs, but collapses. Emily Rudd acts the _hell_ out of the scene, first repeating Arlong's name quietly before shouting at full volume, stabbing the tattoo on her arm before Luffy stops her. When she asks Luffy for help, tears are running. Not to be outdone, Inaki Godoy also puts in a great performance, quietly telling her he would help until he screams it to the heavens. To top it off, Zoro, Sanji and Usopp are positioned in ways that evoke the manga and anime.
Something else I love about this series are the practical effects, especially for Arlong and the Fishmen. They may have had to alter their appearance a bit, but they still look amazing. Also, I think the fishman with the multi-colored hair is supposed to be Hachi, but he's never name dropped, so I that's just my theory atm. And for those curious of what the music playing when Nami's money is being taken, it's an instrumental version of My Sails are Set, which is basically the theme song for this season.
nah, the multicolored hair fishman that nami played cards against with was an unnamed fishman, not hacchan. someone found him in the anime (idk if he appears in the manga) in the opla discord. however, the name he was credited with in the netflix series was hachi/random fishman, which kind of raises eyebrows imo lol
My Sails are Set is such a great song - it's specifically written about Nami and fits so well into her character, but you can hear it interwoven throughout the whole season. Fucking catchy, too. Got that song stuck in my head. XD
@@7thlittleleopard7 It is, especially with how everyone suffers from tragedy in some way, except for maybe Luffy. Zorro lost his best friend, Usopp lost his mom, Sanji nearly starved to death on an island (and even worse as it's revealed later on), and Nami not only lost her mother, but also her home and freedom.
This adaptation has far and beyond my expectations. Normally I stray away from these, but OP has been so instrumental in my life, I had to. I can't wait for season 2!
They Did a Great Job Reenacting that Famous Scene - Young Nami is played by Lily Fisher (who also is Georgie in “General Hospitol”, young Ann in “Life & Beth”, Sarah in “Station 9”, & many more) while her being a toddler is played by Sophie Ellenbogen - Nojiko is played by Chioma Umeala (who also is Ayo in “Isono” & Tara in “The Woman King”) while her younger self is played by Elihle Modise - Belle-Mere is played by Genna Galloway who also is Enya (Resident Evil), Nadine (Alchemist), Jules (Our Girl), Misty (American Monster), & Reporter (Ice) - Genzo is played by Grant Ross who also is Jannie (Catch Me A Killer), Horse Trader (Black Beauty), Henry (Grant), Bailiff (Warrior), & many more - Capetian Nezumi is played by Rory Acton Burnbell who also is Colin (Black Sails), Hogg (Bluestone 42), Ferguson (Outcasts), & many more - Easter Eggs in this Episode: - While half of the crew are wearing their Arlong Part outfits Usopp is now wearing a new outfit that is based off the one he wears on Volume 11 cover - Notice the back of the playing cards that Nami are playing have different designs with the ones in the flashback having a tangerine while the other has a Arlong & Sun Pirates design while on the front of that one the queen is a mermaid - The money used in this series is actually designed just like the Berries used in the series - Arlong Park is designed after a water park with one of its signs “Shark Attack” being a reference to one of Arlong’s attacks, “Shooting Galley” maybe a reference to Usopp / Chew, & Ghost Train a reference to the Sea Train but on the sign we can see a cameo of the zombie tree MocDonald - If you look in the map room above every pillar there is a shark head statue - When looking inside of the Historical Atlas of the East Blue book Nami is reading a page referencing the Oykot Kingdom which is Nami & Nojiko’s birthplace while underneath it you can see a Sea Cow & a Sea Boar, & you can also see it drawn on the map of the End credits - Bogard mentions a curry house because Garp's favorite foods are senbei & curry - If you notice at the bar you can see tiki heads which are based off 2 characters that being Ace & Spector (Mock Town Hotel owner) - While a few of the fishmen are inspired by ones from the anime one is seen wearing the fashion brand Criminal which comes from Fishman Island - That the Ending credits when they show the map of the Conomi Island you can see a drawing of Momoo the sea cow on the right
Probably my favorite episode. Emily Rudd as Nami really nailed it, everytime it gets me. That "Help Me" scene was too perfect That's why Oda said it was perfect, he was impress by the Help me scene

I knew that Emily Rudd needs to really really nail this scene because it's among my favorite moments in One Piece, I've watched it dozens of time already. If she didn't do great I was afraid I would be too desensitized to get the feels. Yet she pulled it off. Awesome performance indeed.
Once done with the live adaptation, I highly recommend everyone check out the OST, especially Nami's theme (My Sails are Set). It's just so beautiful and sums up Nami's character so well.
Oda said Emily nailed the scene and it was fantastic. That made me bawl, she's such a good actress😭 all casts are so dang good, they all played their role so well. It doesn't matter to me if the actors doesn't look like the characters itself, or they look old for the character, or young, if they're too tall for the character they're playing, or it they're shorter. What matters is how would they act and deliver their lines, how would they give justice (in acting) their given roles. And so far? All actors did so great. I don't care what anyone says but this live action??? The best so far. I don't give a sh*t to those wannabe one piece fans who are too demanding, entitled, and perfectionist, to the point they're sh*tting Oda for this. They don't even know the hard work that all people involved in this live action gives. Straight invalidating their hard work. If you don't want to watch it, if it's not your liking, then go away. Sh*tting on something that many people has worked hard for is not cool.
The actors really loved their roles. You could tell they loved playing the role because of the passion that was portrayed, those vibes cant be imitated. Love all of them
Buggy obviously one of the people's favorite characters. But Arlong really did a great job as the villain. From weird looking in the trailer to menacing performance in the series.
The reason people feel it doesn't hit the same emotional notes is because Nami is tougher than she appears here. Lose 100 million? She'll be upset but she'll deal with it and regather the 100 million beri, having learned her lesson and no doubt having a backup plan for the next go around. What truly broke Nami in the original was the knowledge that the villagers had always known and kept this knowledge from her (so that Nami could walk away with a lighter conscience if she decided to give up on gathering the money), and that her losing the treasure leads them to march on Arlong Park regardless of the death they might face because they believe Nami should no longer carry the weight. She was unable to stop her fellow villagers -her most precious treasure that she spent a lifetime trying to protect and save- and this is what breaks the tough Nami and makes her desperate enough to beg Luffy for help. Treasure is a very important theme in early One Piece. For Luffy, it is his hat, and for Nami, it is the villagers who helped raise her. That is why Luffy placing his hat on her hat is so meaningful: you trust me to look after your treasure, and I'll trust you to look after mine. The scene in the live action is still emotional and well-acted and without a doubt will be received well by audiences, but I really wish they hadn't adjusted that plot point and given it just a few more minutes to build out that part of the plot. (Then again, if they did, Netflix might become liable for psychiatry bills worldwide because that shit hits hard.)
Yeah, the twist is what gets me. Nami is 100% willing to suffer more under an abuser like Arlong if it means her village is safe. But the village returns her love and can't let nami suffer from square 1 again under someone who isn't gonna keep the deal. Emily Rudd and Inaki do the scene perfect. It's just the circumstances around it is lessen. Probably due to time constricts. That's my real gripe. If the series had 10 eps than 8, then all the minor problems I have would probably be gone.
@@ruga-ventoj I think what they were going for is her letting the villagers hate her because she doesn't want anyone risking their lives by helping her which they may have been tempted to do if they knew, and because she hates herself for working for her mothers killer and feels that she deserves to be hated. If that makes sense.
Bro!!! How anyone can watch this and call it "trash" is devoid of good taste. My mom and I were absolutely crying messes for Nami's "Help me.". I've heard people call live action a "not like other girl" "strong women TM" and I genuinely think they came here from another dimension. Is such a rich and beautiful prefomance. Like WOW this show is amazing. Also happy to report my mother is now so fully on board the crews she's watched it 3 times and is heartbroken to have to wait till 2025 for season 2. And I'm living in the delightful twilight zone where my mom is excitedly telling ME why Luffy taking the chains of the orange town prisoners in Buggy nightmare tent is the backbone of her loyalty and love for Luffy. This is the best timeline!
I can't believe I feel this way abt fucking ONE PIECE of all things... the original art style is way too wacky for me, but in this format the humor and heart really shines. Your excitement is contagious! And holy shit I think I... love One Piece now??
About Hachi, the director said that they wished to have put him in but the cost to get an 8 armed swordsman would have been too much and even then it might not have looked great, so they had to cut him. If you look in the credits they did name one of the fishmen after him
You just know that they ARE true fans because they saw the 'essence' of One Piece that the live action was trying to and was able to convey. True fanboys.
15:10 In French, her name means "step-mother", but that'd have no effect on the English (or Japanese) versions of the show. Like, we don't call Chi-Chi from Dragon Ball "milk" in English just because that's what her name means in Spanish.
From the view of a series producer a long Arlong walk would take away lots of episode time so I think they way they did this was great. Walk to arlong park would have been great for every Fan of course but for every decision we have to seperate Anime, Manga and the live action. Its so nice to see your reactions as you are also all passionate viewers and even readers of One Piece. Now I saw last episode is also uploaded already so I'm excited to hear your final thoughts.
In one piece this scene between a nami and Luffy made me cry man this was the most saddest thing I have ever seen including the anime and corn this show this actually made me cry
I am enjoying your reactions of One Pice live action a lot and yesterday I finished the series, the stories of the characters made me have all the emotions and Nami "Help Me" scene made me cry again hope for season 2 I really loved it.
Some of the background fishmen don’t look great but Arlong, Kuroobi and Chew look awesome. Arlong especially, he doesn’t look like a guy wearing prosthetics he looks like an actual sawshark man.
@@KruseControl Yes you're right however the anime censors some dark moments or exaggerates to the point where it loses impact. This feels more like Odas vibe even if it's different.
I loved this LA series and I recon everything will hinge on how good chopper is done in season 2 My OP background (anime /ovas/movies watched multiple times through &read manga too) The only change I wasn’t ok with was changing the cocoyashi townsfolk’s knowledge of nami’s deal It diminishes the resolve of the town from what it was, something like “silently hopeful but resigned” I didn’t care about the village (besides genzo &nojiko) as much because of that It also removes all meaning behind nojiko’s tattoos 😢
Our first “Marimo”! They called out Jimbei, my favorite character! I love the detail that they turn the tangerine peels into pinwheels. God, the “Help me” scene gets me every time! My only complaint about it is that I wish it was daytime. Also, Nojiko and the village not knowing about it and skipping the scene where Nami is trying to put on a brave face doesn't make Nami feel as desperate as in the source material. And while it's hard to watch Nami stab herself, it didnt feel like the mutilation it does in the original.
I think it's fine they changed some stuff so it hits new viewers just as hard the second time around (whether it be by anime or manga) as it does in the Live Action. I don't see why people hate the changes made so much when it just means that new fans to the series are going to get all the hype of "What, this is different?! But still... awesome?!" that we got in watching this.
most people have had the same experience. most reactors - on both sides of the experience, have too. those who haven't liked it are few and far between. they exist, sure, but there's a reason it's gotten such great scores on rotten tomatoes and other sites - because universally it's fucking great. just a handful of people have bitched.@@Biostar96
I believe not including Hachi comes from not knowing if they are going to get to the point of the story where his part in plot becomes more relevant, since that is very, very, very far from this. So trying to make Hachi work visually just wasn't worth it. Plus, even if they got there, they could play it out as Hachi leaving before arlong park, showing his relationship with nami in flashbacks
Someone made a comment that I agree with; it would’ve been more impactful if Mr. Genzo told the story of how Nami and Nojiko were found like in the anime rather than Bellemere
My only complaint was that they changed that the villagers didn’t know about Nami’s sacrifice. The gut punch was even harder when you found out that they all knew all along and weren’t trying to pressure Nami and didn’t want her to feel guilty if she ever gave up on them. I have seen a good reason for all the other changes they’ve made so far, but I haven’t seen a good reason for that change. It’s my only gripe with the series so far.
There might be a day where I won't cry watching Bellemere's death, but today was not it But im also so glad they changed stuff. Helmeppo and Koby drinking together was so funny and such a nice add to their characters
About Jimbei. I've rewatched the anime a few times, mainly through watching reactions. And the thing about Jimbei is that he was talked about in Arlong Park, around the time when they were introducing the warlord system they name dropped Jimbei. So the name reveal isn't something new, but it was very nicely repackaged.
Adding all the marine stuff works for me because it helps establish the scale and size of the world and it’s corruption faster than the anime does and if this season made the world feel small I think it would be a disservice to One Piece
To be fair, you can see there is corruption from the beginning with morgan and the nezumi captain and even the coby cover story when morgan took Helmepo hostage and it looked like they were going to attack but Coby intervened first. but at the same time we also see that there are not also good marines. and they did not have to tell us that there are good and bad pirates like good and bad marines like they did in the first episode of LA. Amd that also why smoker have a big impression Because is the first strong good marine
@@m.alexanderduenas3077smoker isn’t the first good and strong marine what are you talking about 😭 garp’s literally right there, and so does some of them in the older gen
@@hellbunniez3 I'm talking about the anime/manga how the story is presented to us. we see marines who are good but they are afraid of morgan, they can't do anything. Marine who tries to rescue the people of nami island, and was defeated at one point. We must also remember that Nezumi would not have been the first marine to accept a bribe from Arlong.
Arlong using Nami successfully completing the task she's wasted her life trying to accomplish as the trigger for slaughtering the very people she was doing it to protect is f***ed up.
So yeah, this is the episode where I go from finding helmepo be annoying to just slowly getting sadder and sadder when you consider his upbringing. Like, if not for the fact that Django hat and hypnotize his father, into thinking that he captured Kuro, and he just sort of stayed hypnotize since then, maybe he’d be different therefore, he’ll never be different nature and nurture, but just good writing all around.
There's a distinct lack of Hachi it's true... which probably stems from the fact that he has *SIX ARMS.* You can't really make that happen with costumes and makeup, you need CG. Richie probably got sidelined in Orange Town for much the same reason. By the time we get to Sabondy, they might have the budget to CG Hachi into existence. But for now... all of that goes into Luffy's and Buggy's DF Powers, the Lord of the Coast and putting the finishing touches on Arlong and his boys.
Possible reasons for Hachi not being in this season? A deciding factor could have been because of budget. A lot of money was put into this season of One Piece. Even with such a large cost, a producer or something in a video interview did say that there were things they really wanted to do but could not because of time and budget. Hachi’s anatomy leans towards CG or a practical and CG blend to look and perform well for live action. But, CG COSTS MONEY, more than you would think. Keep an eye on how they do Chopper in a season 2. That, I feel, will set the precedent for how they will do more fantastical character designs like Chopper and Hachi.
Hachi was actually credited in the credits as "Hachi/Angry Fishman" Some theorized he was the one playing cards with nami, as he's the only other Fishman addressed by arlong
I love how Jimbei was name dropped here while discussing Fishman issues in the world compared to the original where randomly Yosaku goes on an info dump after dealing with Mihawk.
In the credits, youll see a guy named hachi.. He is the angry fisherman. The one with balck yellow hair. This is confirmed by the actor himself.. Saw it on facebook. Turns out they probably dont have budget or had a hard time probably making hachi's arms come to life
Anyone here rewatching the Arlong Pirates scenes in this show looking for the Sun Pirates symbol? Don't think I saw it on Arlong because he was always wearing something that covered it, but we know he wouldn't get rid of it even if he could, he'd probably have too much pride over having sailed with Fisher Tiger to do that.
The removing/(deminishing to a cameo) of Hachi's role was definitely for budgeting reasons. Octopus animation is still extremely hard and expensive (Hank in Finding Dory being the perfect example). Having a short fight scene with a secondary supporting character take the lion's share of an episode's cgi budget would have been unreasonable.
You guys should react to Fear Street trilogy, Emily Rudd (Nami) is also in there (If i remember correctly, she's in the 2 movies) she also did great there!!!!
11:23 yeah probably because of that but i think Hachi would be a much better character if they adapt Sabaody in the future. They are still testing the waters for this live-action. If it continues to do well, they'll make more of these.
I think Johnny mentioned Jimbei when they were on their way to orange island after Nami stole the Merry in the anime. I cant remember if he actually said Jimbei's name or just passed it as a fishman being one of the warlords, but it's definitly there.
This is the part of season 1 that was annoying to me, and it's the removal of Nami telling Nojiko about Arlong's deal, and she, in turn, told the whole village and they kept silent about knowing, adding up to the tragedy of not being able to stop Genzo and others from launching a suicidal attack on fishmen.
I think the criticism people had at first for fishmen came from expecting them to be a cgi/mocap like Avatar,PotC, or Thanos for example. The showrunners said they want the fishmen to be realistic and FEEL real so they went with prosthetics. (this might also be the same reason why Hachi was cut)

I actually shed a tear at the "help me" scene. It was amazing in the Anime, but it is also good in the Live Action.
Is it bad that I have never shed a single tear in my life from watching something or reading something but still felt sad?
Not gonna lie I actually called my motha to tell her I love her after this episode
@@princezeke7549no not at all if you felt a little sad not if you don't feel sad at all then there something wrong with you😂
@@princezeke7549lol nah some people just get more emotional over movies, shows or books than others like how not everyone mourns the same
Shed more than one...
"Jimbei is a fool"
That line makes me hopeful to see "The first son of the sea" himself in all of his glory
Well, that would probably only happen in season 6 or 7 ... maybe 5, depending on the pace they are going ...
Boss Jimbei!
Honestly, the part that makes me respect the story so much is that Jimbei’s mentioned here in the manga too.

They Did a Great Job Reenacting that Famous Scene
- Young Nami is played by Lily Fisher (who also is Georgie in “General Hospitol”, young Ann in “Life & Beth”, Sarah in “Station 9”, & many more) while her being a toddler is played by Sophie Ellenbogen
- Nojiko is played by Chioma Umeala (who also is Ayo in “Isono” & Tara in “The Woman King”) while her younger self is played by Elihle Modise
- Belle-Mere is played by Genna Galloway who also is Enya (Resident Evil), Nadine (Alchemist), Jules (Our Girl), Misty (American Monster), & Reporter (Ice)
- Genzo is played by Grant Ross who also is Jannie (Catch Me A Killer), Horse Trader (Black Beauty), Henry (Grant), Bailiff (Warrior), & many more
- Capetian Nezumi is played by Rory Acton Burnbell who also is Colin (Black Sails), Hogg (Bluestone 42), Ferguson (Outcasts), & many more
- Easter Eggs in this Episode:
- While half of the crew are wearing their Arlong Part outfits Usopp is now wearing a new outfit that is based off the one he wears on Volume 11 cover
- Notice the back of the playing cards that Nami are playing have different designs with the ones in the flashback having a tangerine while the other has a Arlong & Sun Pirates design while on the front of that one the queen is a mermaid
- The money used in this series is actually designed just like the Berries used in the series
- Arlong Park is designed after a water park with one of its signs “Shark Attack” being a reference to one of Arlong’s attacks, “Shooting Galley” maybe a reference to Usopp / Chew, & Ghost Train a reference to the Sea Train but on the sign we can see a cameo of the zombie tree MocDonald
- If you look in the map room above every pillar there is a shark head statue
- When looking inside of the Historical Atlas of the East Blue book Nami is reading a page referencing the Oykot Kingdom which is Nami & Nojiko’s birthplace while underneath it you can see a Sea Cow & a Sea Boar, & you can also see it drawn on the map of the End credits
- Bogard mentions a curry house because Garp's favorite foods are senbei & curry
- If you notice at the bar you can see tiki heads which are based off 2 characters that being Ace & Spector (Mock Town Hotel owner)
- While a few of the fishmen are inspired by ones from the anime one is seen wearing the fashion brand Criminal which comes from Fishman Island
- That the Ending credits when they show the map of the Conomi Island you can see a drawing of Momoo the sea cow on the right
Probably my favorite episode. Emily Rudd as Nami really nailed it, everytime it gets me. That "Help Me" scene was too perfect
That's why Oda said it was perfect, he was impress by the Help me scene
no gonna lie , acting was a little too impressive
I'm shocked that I haven't seen any One Piece reactor comment on the fact that Nami's VERY FIRST LINE IN THE SHOW was "Help me".
why would it shock anyone? keymoment.

The help me scene got me but when luffy says lets go and the guys in unison go RIGHT that gave me chills. No hesitation at all
That Nami scene! I was hoping they'd also do the whole crew posing, and they didn't disappoint.
Once done with the live adaptation, I highly recommend everyone check out the OST, especially Nami's theme (My Sails are Set). It's just so beautiful and sums up Nami's character so well.

What matters is how would they act and deliver their lines, how would they give justice (in acting) their given roles. And so far? All actors did so great.
I don't care what anyone says but this live action??? The best so far. I don't give a sh*t to those wannabe one piece fans who are too demanding, entitled, and perfectionist, to the point they're sh*tting Oda for this. They don't even know the hard work that all people involved in this live action gives. Straight invalidating their hard work. If you don't want to watch it, if it's not your liking, then go away. Sh*tting on something that many people has worked hard for is not cool.
I thought Oda did say Emily nailed the scene?
The actors really loved their roles. You could tell they loved playing the role because of the passion that was portrayed, those vibes cant be imitated. Love all of them
Oda did mention he loved Emily's "help me" scene.
True!
@@nicktoons125he did, I typed the wrong word😭
Buggy obviously one of the people's favorite characters. But Arlong really did a great job as the villain. From weird looking in the trailer to menacing performance in the series.
And he manages to be menacing while wearing a moldy old ushanka
The reason people feel it doesn't hit the same emotional notes is because Nami is tougher than she appears here. Lose 100 million? She'll be upset but she'll deal with it and regather the 100 million beri, having learned her lesson and no doubt having a backup plan for the next go around.
What truly broke Nami in the original was the knowledge that the villagers had always known and kept this knowledge from her (so that Nami could walk away with a lighter conscience if she decided to give up on gathering the money), and that her losing the treasure leads them to march on Arlong Park regardless of the death they might face because they believe Nami should no longer carry the weight. She was unable to stop her fellow villagers -her most precious treasure that she spent a lifetime trying to protect and save- and this is what breaks the tough Nami and makes her desperate enough to beg Luffy for help.
Treasure is a very important theme in early One Piece. For Luffy, it is his hat, and for Nami, it is the villagers who helped raise her. That is why Luffy placing his hat on her hat is so meaningful: you trust me to look after your treasure, and I'll trust you to look after mine.
The scene in the live action is still emotional and well-acted and without a doubt will be received well by audiences, but I really wish they hadn't adjusted that plot point and given it just a few more minutes to build out that part of the plot. (Then again, if they did, Netflix might become liable for psychiatry bills worldwide because that shit hits hard.)
Yeah, the twist is what gets me. Nami is 100% willing to suffer more under an abuser like Arlong if it means her village is safe. But the village returns her love and can't let nami suffer from square 1 again under someone who isn't gonna keep the deal.
Emily Rudd and Inaki do the scene perfect. It's just the circumstances around it is lessen. Probably due to time constricts. That's my real gripe. If the series had 10 eps than 8, then all the minor problems I have would probably be gone.
@@ruga-ventoj I think what they were going for is her letting the villagers hate her because she doesn't want anyone risking their lives by helping her which they may have been tempted to do if they knew, and because she hates herself for working for her mothers killer and feels that she deserves to be hated.
If that makes sense.
L
Bro!!! How anyone can watch this and call it "trash" is devoid of good taste. My mom and I were absolutely crying messes for Nami's "Help me.". I've heard people call live action a "not like other girl" "strong women TM" and I genuinely think they came here from another dimension. Is such a rich and beautiful prefomance. Like WOW this show is amazing.
Also happy to report my mother is now so fully on board the crews she's watched it 3 times and is heartbroken to have to wait till 2025 for season 2. And I'm living in the delightful twilight zone where my mom is excitedly telling ME why Luffy taking the chains of the orange town prisoners in Buggy nightmare tent is the backbone of her loyalty and love for Luffy.
This is the best timeline!
Those people who would be so critical need to examine their double standards about women. It's really wild to see people like that.
Did they not watch the originla anime or something?
I love how when buggy starts singing the shanty his neck flaps do a little dance
17:03 I can just hear
Boom saying
“Surprise Jimbei”
Gahh! I just finished ep 8 and waiting for more reactions from you guys! Finally getting to ep 7! 😁
With this i gelt they did nami justice even with the slight changes it actually works for the pace of the show 💯🔥
Zeff was talking to Sanji about Luffy's determination
when he was fighting Don Kreig. : )
I can't believe I feel this way abt fucking ONE PIECE of all things... the original art style is way too wacky for me, but in this format the humor and heart really shines. Your excitement is contagious! And holy shit I think I... love One Piece now??
(Obligatory "English is not my first language" sry)
I never watched one piece anime before this. Now I'm in episode 70 in the anime . LMAO
@@zensawa271 haha oh nooo is this my future I'm seeing??
I really love your reaction to the point that i always check your channel if you uploaded the reaction already 😭😭
Hachi is in there... But not an octopus. In the cast list there's a HACHI/ANGRY FISHMAN...so yah, they changed it
Idk I'm pretty sure he was purposely kept out so he wouldn't get killed by Zoro. They clearly didn't want to have many fake out deaths.
nah that fishman was credited as hachi in the show, but he exists in the anime as a real fishman (the multicolored hair one)
But... Hachi means 8. Ya know, 8 arms?
Not to mention, Hachi is only his nickname. His full name is Hatchan.
THIS Hachi is just named Hachi.
@@beanzarubut Hachi was still alive in the anime though
I never knew Zeff & Garp meeting was something I needed, but I’m so glad I got it
About Hachi, the director said that they wished to have put him in but the cost to get an 8 armed swordsman would have been too much and even then it might not have looked great, so they had to cut him.
If you look in the credits they did name one of the fishmen after him
Im so glad they kept buggy along with them for a while in their adaptation. The actor nailed it!!!!!!!😂
One thing i love is they play arlongs theme and when nami passes buggys body being strung up they snuck in buggys theme. Its a split second detail.
I feel like Sanji being in charge of Buggy’s head was a subtle nod to when he had Kinemon’s head in Punk Hazard
So refreshing seeing men get emotional. Loved your reactions
You just know that they ARE true fans because they saw the 'essence' of One Piece that the live action was trying to and was able to convey. True fanboys.
You know, when Luffy trusts someone with his hat, it means real trust.
15:10 In French, her name means "step-mother", but that'd have no effect on the English (or Japanese) versions of the show. Like, we don't call Chi-Chi from Dragon Ball "milk" in English just because that's what her name means in Spanish.
The "help me" got me all emotional
From the view of a series producer a long Arlong walk would take away lots of episode time so I think they way they did this was great. Walk to arlong park would have been great for every Fan of course but for every decision we have to seperate Anime, Manga and the live action. Its so nice to see your reactions as you are also all passionate viewers and even readers of One Piece. Now I saw last episode is also uploaded already so I'm excited to hear your final thoughts.
I think when ever Buggy is on he steals the scene.
I am curious if anyone noticed if anyone had a problem with Nami sister's? I know I haven't.
In one piece this scene between a nami and Luffy made me cry man this was the most saddest thing I have ever seen including the anime and corn this show this actually made me cry
I am enjoying your reactions of One Pice live action a lot and yesterday I finished the series, the stories of the characters made me have all the emotions and Nami "Help Me" scene made me cry again hope for season 2 I really loved it.
My favourite music in the live action series is the fishman theme. It just bops so hard.
Some people just like to find something they can hate about when their mind is already made up. I wouldn't worry about it.
I love that you guys are unabashedly emotional about everything.
Some of the background fishmen don’t look great but Arlong, Kuroobi and Chew look awesome. Arlong especially, he doesn’t look like a guy wearing prosthetics he looks like an actual sawshark man.
I love how although they tie up some plot points diffrently it´s actually still more manga accurat than the anime is.
@@KruseControl Yes you're right however the anime censors some dark moments or exaggerates to the point where it loses impact. This feels more like Odas vibe even if it's different.
I disagree that it's more accurate. There's no sense in a kid that has seen her mother killed deciding to go and offer help to the killer.
ngl after watching all the emotional scenes in the live action I'm really hyped for Drum Island, Enies Lobby and Marine Ford ... if we get that far
We definitely have drum island so there's that. I'd love for them to reach Ennies Lobby tho
10:21 I love how this relates to some of the recent chapters👀
I loved this LA series and I recon everything will hinge on how good chopper is done in season 2
My OP background (anime /ovas/movies watched multiple times through &read manga too)
The only change I wasn’t ok with was changing the cocoyashi townsfolk’s knowledge of nami’s deal
It diminishes the resolve of the town from what it was, something like “silently hopeful but resigned”
I didn’t care about the village (besides genzo &nojiko) as much because of that
It also removes all meaning behind nojiko’s tattoos 😢
I have watched through this 3 times. This is the best live action anime ever made
I wish they added the bit where Arlong catches a cannonball in his mouth and crushes it with his teeth.
Our first “Marimo”! They called out Jimbei, my favorite character! I love the detail that they turn the tangerine peels into pinwheels. God, the “Help me” scene gets me every time! My only complaint about it is that I wish it was daytime. Also, Nojiko and the village not knowing about it and skipping the scene where Nami is trying to put on a brave face doesn't make Nami feel as desperate as in the source material. And while it's hard to watch Nami stab herself, it didnt feel like the mutilation it does in the original.
I think it's fine they changed some stuff so it hits new viewers just as hard the second time around (whether it be by anime or manga) as it does in the Live Action. I don't see why people hate the changes made so much when it just means that new fans to the series are going to get all the hype of "What, this is different?! But still... awesome?!" that we got in watching this.
@@7thlittleleopard7Not everyone gets the same reaction as you.
most people have had the same experience. most reactors - on both sides of the experience, have too. those who haven't liked it are few and far between. they exist, sure, but there's a reason it's gotten such great scores on rotten tomatoes and other sites - because universally it's fucking great. just a handful of people have bitched.@@Biostar96
J'adore vos réactions... c'est touchant ! One piece c'est la vie !!!❤
the music in that final scene is just gorgeous
I'm gonna need to watch this season again fully shortly before season 2 drops.
Too good, man.
I’m so happy: I remember when RuffSenpai was first reacting to One Piece OPs. And look where we are 🥹
9:25 Usopp exuding that
Shaggy and Scooby energy
🤣😂
Aw man, I can't believe the people doing the subtitles left out Sanji calling Zoro mosshead at 1:20
rocking back and forth waiting for the last reaction vid to drop
I believe not including Hachi comes from not knowing if they are going to get to the point of the story where his part in plot becomes more relevant, since that is very, very, very far from this. So trying to make Hachi work visually just wasn't worth it. Plus, even if they got there, they could play it out as Hachi leaving before arlong park, showing his relationship with nami in flashbacks
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, god im glad i was so wrong about the show we NEED a season 2 PLEASE me and my mother loved every episode
11:11 It’s because a six armed octopus man is a bit harder to do in live action than two armed assorted fishmen.
Arlong got that "Cyrus from 'The Warriors'" vibe there at the end. CAN YOU DIIIIIIG IIIIIT!!!!!!
Someone made a comment that I agree with; it would’ve been more impactful if Mr. Genzo told the story of how Nami and Nojiko were found like in the anime rather than Bellemere
10:10 Still can't tel if they're disgusted or if they're thinking 'is he going to offer us one?'
My only complaint was that they changed that the villagers didn’t know about Nami’s sacrifice. The gut punch was even harder when you found out that they all knew all along and weren’t trying to pressure Nami and didn’t want her to feel guilty if she ever gave up on them. I have seen a good reason for all the other changes they’ve made so far, but I haven’t seen a good reason for that change. It’s my only gripe with the series so far.
There might be a day where I won't cry watching Bellemere's death, but today was not it
But im also so glad they changed stuff. Helmeppo and Koby drinking together was so funny and such a nice add to their characters
About Jimbei. I've rewatched the anime a few times, mainly through watching reactions. And the thing about Jimbei is that he was talked about in Arlong Park, around the time when they were introducing the warlord system they name dropped Jimbei. So the name reveal isn't something new, but it was very nicely repackaged.
Adding all the marine stuff works for me because it helps establish the scale and size of the world and it’s corruption faster than the anime does and if this season made the world feel small I think it would be a disservice to One Piece
To be fair, you can see there is corruption from the beginning with morgan and the nezumi captain and even the coby cover story when morgan took Helmepo hostage and it looked like they were going to attack but Coby intervened first.
but at the same time we also see that there are not also good marines.
and they did not have to tell us that there are good and bad pirates
like good and bad marines like they did in the first episode of LA.
Amd that also why smoker have a big impression
Because is the first strong good marine
@@m.alexanderduenas3077smoker isn’t the first good and strong marine what are you talking about 😭 garp’s literally right there, and so does some of them in the older gen
@@hellbunniez3 I'm talking about the anime/manga how the story is presented to us. we see marines who are good but they are afraid of morgan, they can't do anything. Marine who tries to rescue the people of nami island, and was defeated at one point. We must also remember that Nezumi would not have been the first marine to accept a bribe from Arlong.
The interaction between Zeff and Garp was such a W addition.
fr the newgen thing gave me chills
Fully grown mens are crying watching that "luffy, help me" scene
Arlong using Nami successfully completing the task she's wasted her life trying to accomplish as the trigger for slaughtering the very people she was doing it to protect is f***ed up.
So yeah, this is the episode where I go from finding helmepo be annoying to just slowly getting sadder and sadder when you consider his upbringing. Like, if not for the fact that Django hat and hypnotize his father, into thinking that he captured Kuro, and he just sort of stayed hypnotize since then, maybe he’d be different therefore, he’ll never be different nature and nurture, but just good writing all around.
Yes Ruff I cannot tell you how much i wanted the walk too 😢
There's a distinct lack of Hachi it's true... which probably stems from the fact that he has *SIX ARMS.* You can't really make that happen with costumes and makeup, you need CG.
Richie probably got sidelined in Orange Town for much the same reason. By the time we get to Sabondy, they might have the budget to CG Hachi into existence.
But for now... all of that goes into Luffy's and Buggy's DF Powers, the Lord of the Coast and putting the finishing touches on Arlong and his boys.
Possible reasons for Hachi not being in this season? A deciding factor could have been because of budget. A lot of money was put into this season of One Piece. Even with such a large cost, a producer or something in a video interview did say that there were things they really wanted to do but could not because of time and budget.
Hachi’s anatomy leans towards CG or a practical and CG blend to look and perform well for live action. But, CG COSTS MONEY, more than you would think.
Keep an eye on how they do Chopper in a season 2. That, I feel, will set the precedent for how they will do more fantastical character designs like Chopper and Hachi.
Hachi was actually credited in the credits as "Hachi/Angry Fishman"
Some theorized he was the one playing cards with nami, as he's the only other Fishman addressed by arlong
I love how Jimbei was name dropped here while discussing Fishman issues in the world compared to the original where randomly Yosaku goes on an info dump after dealing with Mihawk.
I wouldn't say it was random since he was talking about the Warlords, which Mihawk is a part of.
In the credits, youll see a guy named hachi.. He is the angry fisherman. The one with balck yellow hair. This is confirmed by the actor himself.. Saw it on facebook. Turns out they probably dont have budget or had a hard time probably making hachi's arms come to life
I love Sanji's acceptance as role of "new guy"
I swear, Garp eats more that Alfred Hitchcock! XD All that's missing is some soufflés.
1:54 That’s not just in an SBS. That’s straight up stated in the Sabaody Arc.
arlong is my favorite arc so i knew i would cry so much
I was double barrel crying during the "Help Me" scene 😭
Anyone here rewatching the Arlong Pirates scenes in this show looking for the Sun Pirates symbol?
Don't think I saw it on Arlong because he was always wearing something that covered it, but we know he wouldn't get rid of it even if he could, he'd probably have too much pride over having sailed with Fisher Tiger to do that.
I think he has it here - iirc someone released a series of videos dissecting the episodes for easter eggs and pointed it out.
I just wanted Hachi, he is a fraggin important part for the Tenryubitto scene at Sabaody Arc
The removing/(deminishing to a cameo) of Hachi's role was definitely for budgeting reasons. Octopus animation is still extremely hard and expensive (Hank in Finding Dory being the perfect example). Having a short fight scene with a secondary supporting character take the lion's share of an episode's cgi budget would have been unreasonable.
You guys should react to Fear Street trilogy, Emily Rudd (Nami) is also in there (If i remember correctly, she's in the 2 movies) she also did great there!!!!
The help me lufff scene is exactly same as the anime 😭
11:23 yeah probably because of that but i think Hachi would be a much better character if they adapt Sabaody in the future. They are still testing the waters for this live-action. If it continues to do well, they'll make more of these.
I think Johnny mentioned Jimbei when they were on their way to orange island after Nami stole the Merry in the anime. I cant remember if he actually said Jimbei's name or just passed it as a fishman being one of the warlords, but it's definitly there.
He definitely mentioned Jimbei and that he was a warlord who “set loose” Arlong into the East Blue.
This is the part of season 1 that was annoying to me, and it's the removal of Nami telling Nojiko about Arlong's deal, and she, in turn, told the whole village and they kept silent about knowing, adding up to the tragedy of not being able to stop Genzo and others from launching a suicidal attack on fishmen.
I think the criticism people had at first for fishmen came from expecting them to be a cgi/mocap like Avatar,PotC, or Thanos for example.
The showrunners said they want the fishmen to be realistic and FEEL real so they went with prosthetics. (this might also be the same reason why Hachi was cut)
Hacchi could be different from the original and not so over the top
11:23 If you want Ha-chan then you can say when the Sun Pirates split off, Ha-chan quit being a pirate then and stayed as a Takoyaki vender.
