this is one of my favourite traits of luffy that always stays consistent. He can immediately read someones personality perfectly. He knew choppers true feelings and because he is so blunt he just told him exactly what he wanted. Same thing with characters like nami in arlong park, franky and robin in water 7, and sanji in whole cake. Luffy has never lost that amazing ability to read someone's emotion which is what brings out the best in everyone he is with.
In other words, he is empathetic. Not exactly merciful or compassionate like Izuku Midoriya, but he is aware of how other people feel. No wonder he seems like the most shonen-esque protagonist ever written.
I'd tell him Luffy makes friends however he wants. We could make a list of the weird ways he does it. (Most of them involve punching someone) 1. Ace and Sabo - Spent an entire day getting tortured for information and getting punched. 2. Coby - He punches him because Coby keeps saying being the pirate king is impossible. 3. Zoro - Punched Helmeppo for planning to execute Zoro, then freed him. 4. Nami - Gave a dog a bag of dog food after punching a guy on a lion. 5. Usopp - Happened to meet his dad. 6. Sanji - Liked his soup. 7. Laboon - Punched him so he'd stop hurting himself. And we barely got out of East Blue.
"Join my crew!" "No, I can't!" "You *will* join my crew!" "I won't!" "Will!" "Won't!" "Will!" "Won't!" "...won't." "Will!" "Won't!" "Will!" "Won't!" "Listen, rubber-man, when I say I will, that means I will, and you can't stop me! I'm joining your crew, and that's final!" "😁😏" "...aw, son of a bi-"
"Just because you want something doesn't mean it's going to happen!" Well it did work for you Zoro...and Nami, and Sanji, and Chopper, and Robin, and Frankie, and Brook. Basically that's the how Luffy got a crew
Well said dude. I hate these anime fans who only watch the original soundtrack. They feel they are superior to others. There are plenty of great dubs out there if they just gave them a chance.
Most of the anime I watched is always the English dub first like Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Hellsing and this show which the dubs are really good so it's pointless really to say that every anime dub is bad. There was once a time where I hated the entirety of NYAV (4kids usual VA group) but then I watched Berserk which was awesome, so what I'm saying is that sometimes a good dub can come out of something that people don't expect besides Funimation.
The english dub is bad? Why? Because it keeps the original soundtrack, dialogue and do not tamper with the plot? Because they try and match the Japanese voices with the English ones? Because they do not change the names and have near-perfect pronunciation and don't censor? Hating the DUB, solely because you heard the Japanese VA's first doesn't make your argument valid. It just shows that you're one dimensional and can't accept change.
@@scotsoulgem nah dog its trash, 4kids is actually even better, ok trash is a bit rude its not trash, but I dont think they do any of the characters justice except maaaybe zoro and sanji are mediocre
You know something I've noticed...People who speak English are complaining about the English dub yet I never hear any complaints about the German, French, or Spanish dubs. Do people from America or Britain hate their own language?
If there were some voice actors that had the knowledge of doing anime dubbing, I'd do my best to hire them. Terra Strong would've definitely been a good choice to play as Chopper. Unfortunately, when I met her one time, she told me that it would've taken a long time for her to try to get something down because of things that involve doing the dubbing, like doing a certain take a number of times and lip synching, etc. Still, MAJOR PROPS to Brina and Funimation's cast for this One Piece dub.
re-watching drum island, chopper's story, a reindeer who became human, hit so hard for me and resonated so much for me as a trans person with similar experiences. from the feeling of being torn between what you were and what you are, and feeling like you'll never be able to truly be either or be accepted by either side, so to survive you have to constantly hide away half of who you are just to placate others, and finding people who support but don't understand you, and the fear that you'll drive them away too, so you just hide bits of yourself from them too, all felt so awfully and painfully familiar. it was like watching an abstraction of myself onscreen, reliving the same beats of my life, give or take the whole "death of father figure" thing since my folks are still around. it brought a sort of catharsis, knowing i didn't feel so alone, and i wondered if anyone else watched that arc, feeling the same way. Which brings us to this scene. Rewatching it, this scene reminds me of a young trans girl, who wears old pink nightshirts in the safety home and fails to hide a grin when her guardian calls her "daughter", but still keeps her hair short and ratty and throws on a button up and slacks when she goes out and pretends she's still a boy so people won't call her slurs, and a group of openly queer friends who are loud, happy, and abundantly and proudly themselves, regardless of how society feels about them, who actually get her, and understand her for who she is in a way no one else ever has before. And that girl is scared. Because she wants to go. She wants to be with them so badly, to be part of their group, their crew, their nakama. But still, she feels so scared, and like no matter what, she'll never truly be confident in herself the way they are. I mean, these people throw bricks at cops, and they do it so eagerly, too! How could she ever be so fearless and hopeful like they are? So she makes up all number of excuses on why she can't be part of their group. That she's not a "real" girl. That she has all these unpleasant physical traits that she's been bullied for her whole life. That she has a birth defect that her family hated her for. That she's a "monster". And she so clearly wants to be part of their group, their crew, their family, but she's so afraid. And in that moment, the crew's "leader", an asexual boy who knows those same struggles of queerness, cuts through all the bullshit of her excuses, and lets her know that she's well and truly accepted and part of their family already with a simple four words: "SHUT UP! LET'S GO!" When I saw this scene for the first time, I teared up, because of the catharsis of seeing luffy cut through chopper's self-loathing dialogue and comfort and recruit him so concisely was very enjoyable. But on the re-watch, I bawled my eyes out, because it felt like I saw myself on that screen, making all sorts of excuses as to why I couldn't truly be myself, only for someone who truly understood me to push past all that and give me the reassurance and companionship i craved so badly for years, and it was just too much. This scene is so amazing for so many different reasons, and although I don't think Oda intentionally wrote Chopper to be a trans allegory (or queer allegory in general), it's like My Life as a Teenage Robot, where the lack of intention while writing doesn't necessarily indicate that it isn't there. This series truly is something so special to me, and its arcs like these that will cause it to live on in my heart for decades to come.
The only bad things about this dub are Ace's voice (doesn't suit him) and that they didn't keep the word 'Nakama' which they really should have, because 'friend' doesn't have the same meaning.
@Tvyothefuture In One Piece, Nakama is an ideal, not just a word. It's the ideal Luffy lives by, it's not just friendship, it's a bond so close that they're a family of sorts. The word 'friend' doesn't have the same effect or deeper meaning.
I don't like dubs because living in a country that doesn't speak English, I don't always understand the accent...for example I didn't understand Zoro's last sentence..most people...telling shut up...that's all I understood.
I figured as much...thought it still doesn't make a lot of sense when you picture him physically putting on the hat - how does he get his antlers through? But then again, I shouldn't question anime logic. XP And your avatar's really cute. X3 Mini Sanji...
@maskedreview WRONG. it never once mentioned that he counted himself so its still debatable weather or not he will have 2 or 1 member(s) but most likely the latter, so UNLESS YOU WROTE THE MANGA! you can't claim that's going to happen. well just have to wait. besides he may not even fight Blackbeard (but most likely will )
@warlordgorgutz1 This.. isn't a reason to imply that dubs are all shit. Also that whole thing about 'searching up stuff you don't understand' just doesn't cut it, because that's just like having someone explain the joke to you when it flies over your head. Hardly effective.
while those of us outside the One Piece fanbase might not get it, we do, we see past the outer layerings of what Luffy said and see the inner meaning behind it, Luffy doesn't give a shit about what Chopper looks like in terms of acceptance
@DarkAngryWolf9 well robin wanted to leave when the world government threatened the crew with the buster call and Brooke although he said yes at first then said no and left for thriller park.
@Jacksthemouse Alright, the only thing I actually meant was bad was Ace's voice in the dub, which just doesn't suit him. I didn't make that very clear though. The nakama thing i meant only a s something I think would improve it. What I don't understand though is why they didn't use the multi language attacks. Sanji is supposed to use French, Crocodile should use Spanish, it takes something out of their character when they don't.
@Jlcthemouse Yes fine, but let's not forget that this all started because I said IN MY OWN OPINION, that it would sound better with Nakama, I guess words have meaning to the individual, fair enough. I'm not saying it's bad because of it, how many times do I have to explain that I AM NOT AGAINST THIS DUB. Ideally, they'd use the multi-language attack names too since they're quite important to the characters, 'gum-gum' sounds weird, but it's still a good dub regardless.
@Doctor4077 Also, Luffy has to kick someone's ass. Captain Morgan, then Kuro, then Krieg, then Arlong, then Wapol, then CP9, then Gecko Moria. And once Luffy beats Big Mom, Jimbe.
@Jlcthemouse Outside of One Piece, yeah. When the word is used in regard to the Straw Hats, it means more. They are a lot closer than just comrades. Oh, and incidentally, where was this "myth" debunked exactly. See, I say "myth" like that because I'm being sarcastic, just in case you didn't get the meaning behind that either ^_^
@Tvyothefuture Was this a reply to me, because if so then I never stated I didn't like it, in fact I do like it, it's a very good dub. I was simply pointing out way in which it would be even better, if they had to translate it, 'Family' would probably work better. If this wasn't directed at me then I'm sorry.

Didn’t he misread Franky for most of Water 7 because of what he did to Usopp?
“Most people don’t make friends by telling someone to shut up.” Favorite Zoro line.
frr

Dead ass
Luffy is NOT "most people"
Luffy accepted Chopper with open arms and that's what Chopper wanted all along, to be accepted and treated like everyone else.
bro sees him as food tho 😭😭
@@twofour9515 Yeah, when he first saw him. Which was pretty funny 😁
Chopper: I can't join your crew.
Luffy: Bullshit!
☠️
“Shut up about being different we don’t give a shit, now let’s fucking go”
This is both hilarious and heartwarming. How?
Chopper: 😭
Everyone: 😁😀😊
Sanji: 💀
😆🤣
Zoro: 🤨
2:19 So glad we got a reaction shot of Sanji, so we could really observe the nuance of his emotions in this moment
Canonically gets someone to join his crew by telling them to shut up and making them cry
Luffy: Join my crew!
Chopper: I can’t.
Luffy: That is not a request
“Shut up about being different we don’t give a shit, now let’s go”
I love this scene. I find the Funimation voices to be quite perfect.
Wow og one peice fan
I would ask if youre still alive...but since your pfp is brook, i guess youre already dead
Yohohohoho
You know, I barely notice his blue nose
"Join my crew!"

Zoro’s speaking facts.
Hes speaking facts to a guy who outright ignores and/or defies facts.
@@TheTriad001 True.
Pretty much sums up life
Chopper: "I can't join your crew!"
luffy: "Who said you had a choice? :D"
That’s Luffy for you
"Just because you want something doesn't mean it's going to happen!"
Well it did work for you Zoro...and Nami, and Sanji, and Chopper, and Robin, and Frankie, and Brook. Basically that's the how Luffy got a crew
Technically Robin joined on her own. She invited herself to join the crew.
Even Jinbei though, it was a delay sure but he joined eventually.
Brook was an EASY invitation lol
The entire premise of DEVIL FRUITS got revealed recently, how they are a Manifestation of people's truest Desires.
Chopper: "I'm not a human, I'm a monster!"
Luffy: "Dude, I'm a rubber man. You think I give a sh*t about monsters?"
It really sucks that no one can upload dubbed clips of One Piece without a bunch of weeaboos complaining about it.
The soundtrack is perfect for this scene
Whats the song
@@alexh4502 mezase
The writer of the manga, Oda, approves the voices for the dub, so if you think it sucks you can take it up with him :P
I know this comment is really old but i read somewhere that he chose the Straw Hats English voices himself
Well said dude. I hate these anime fans who only watch the original soundtrack. They feel they are superior to others. There are plenty of great dubs out there if they just gave them a chance.

Watching this at 9, then watching this at 29.. same reaction... I cry like a bitch 😂
same brother 😭
i actually love luffy's voice (first time dub hearer)
Zoro: Just because you want something doesn't mean its going to happen!
*Zoro loses against mihawk in the far future.*
Both japanese and English voice are good they bring the same messages so i love them both even though i might be more bias on one than the other
Luffy: shut up! Let's goooooooo!
Chopper: did we just become friends?
Luffy:
YEP!
😁
Chopper:
Do you wanna go do karate in the garage?
Luffy:
YEP!

It kinda sounds like Vegeta
It’s the same voice actor
@King Tubbzzz and Luffy is Kid Gohan
I miss ViVi.
Bro really told him to stop yapping and get on the ship 🤣
so usopps english voice is made by the same guy that did the voice for krillin on dbz
Not gonna lie i teared a bit at 2:06
2:07
My man 😤
I concur. The fundimation dub is way better than the first dub once you get use to the voices of DBZ characters
You know something I've noticed...People who speak English are complaining about the English dub yet I never hear any complaints about the German, French, or Spanish dubs. Do people from America or Britain hate their own language?
I actually prefer the English dub
If Chopper's a monster the whole world only has monsters...

how does luffy do that, I said that to someone before and they would not join my crew
luffy voice is ace ketup
The only bad things about this dub are Ace's voice (doesn't suit him) and that they didn't keep the word 'Nakama' which they really should have, because 'friend' doesn't have the same meaning.
again, I'm taking about the second time, when she "left" the crew and had no intention in coming back
One piece is real
Lesssssss goooooo
Actually, it's Chris Sabat as Zoro who did Major Armstrong. The one that voiced Roy in both versions, Travis Willingham, he voices Ace in One Piece.
aww I wanna give chopper a hug 😢😢
damn, luffy really trashed nami's nice jacket
@Tvyothefuture In One Piece, Nakama is an ideal, not just a word. It's the ideal Luffy lives by, it's not just friendship, it's a bond so close that they're a family of sorts. The word 'friend' doesn't have the same effect or deeper meaning.
Goated moment
BRIANA PALENCIA (sp?) does a wonderful job as Chopper!!!!
Nope, Zoro is voiced by the same guy who voices Louis Armstrong.
The guy who voices Roy Mustang is actually Luffy's brother Ace.
ALEX Louis Armstrong!!
Oh god I just can't listen to the Luffy voice.
The rest seem fine though, especially Chopper.
luffys voice is lame in english, its way better in japanese
lol first time i heard the english dub, my god its bad XD
I don't like dubs because living in a country that doesn't speak English, I don't always understand the accent...for example I didn't understand Zoro's last sentence..most people...telling shut up...that's all I understood.

In the sub Luffy said yes you can because it’s fun
MY god the first 3 seconds are enough! My poor ears.... T_T
I love that Nami calls him Tony at that point!
zoro: mots people wont make friends by telling them to shut up
hahaha
Everyone else:that's luffy for ya😊
Sanji:im dying....please help💀
Am i the only one who typed shut up lets go to get here...
NOP..
SO SHUT UP! LETS GOOOOO!
No
Oh, I just noticed that! Roy from FMA (and not FMAB) is Zoro! No wonder he was so familiar!
WTF, the english luffy sounds terrible.
Haha! Luffy once again proves why he's above Naruto!
He used the forbidden technique, the HARUHI JUTSU!

But then again, I shouldn't question anime logic. XP

I dont like Luffys English voice.
Am I the only one who thinks that Anime geeks get WAY too into some stuff? I like anime n' all, but. . there IS more to life.
Okay, I have to admit that was pretty good. but only because Chopper was doing most of the talking.
I do love that part. Shut Up Let's Go! LOL
im talking about when she first joined tho.
