Chopper's story is FAR from the most heartbreaking, but it always gets me regardless. I can't help tearing up at the "SHUT UP, LET'S GO!" scene. All he did was point out why Luffy wants to be friends with him, not detract him.
God, the writing consistency with this series… You detailing that just reminded me of how Judge says everything he hates about Sanji, his “weaknesses”, only for Luffy to ask Sanji “Hey, why was he just listing off all the great things about you?” This damn story man
16:40 here you go, Alicia: Chopper the blue-nosed reindeer, | Was born in the land of snow. (Drum Island!) | And if you ever saw him, | you would even say he grows. | All of the local humans, | Shot at him and called him names. (Like a monster!) | Even his fellow reindeer, | Banned him from their reindeer games. | From the Going Me~rry, | Luffy came to say. (Shishishi!) | Chopper you can really fight, | Won't you join my crew tonight? | All his nakama loved him, | And they all hugged Chopper. (Hip-hip-horray!) | No matter what they tell you, | You'll be a great doctor! |
37:37 Dang this girl is predicting the plot like crazy! She is this close in getting one of the plot twist of this show and I really hope she remembers this moment when she gets there.
Oh shit I just remembered Chopper crying here is the same scene used in "THE ONE PIECE! THE ONE PIECE IS REAL! CAN WE GET MUC HIGHER! SO HIGH! SO HIGH! SO SO HIGH!"
Apparently the idea to use the dust to dye the snow was a very late idea, like manga in production dead line coming up late. He got the idea from hearing about how during the industrial revolution coal ash and smoke would dye the snow black.
Yess! I live when they are having a big feast or just relaxing on the ship, even though it’s not what the show is really supposed to be centered around. Just seeing their bond is super fun and I love how humorous the show is (especially pre-timeskip) during those moments.
Yes this is where the emergency food meme comes from. Remember that the series has been going on for longer than 20 years so multiple generations of creators grew up on the story.
The “emergency food” gag shows up in at least a handful of anime, maybe more than I know. There’s one in particular - a surreal whacked anime called “Excel Saga” - where the ending theme song is all about the show’s dog singing about being the emergency food supply.
That reminds me that in one of their DVD volumes (can’t remember which one) but there was a secret selection in the main menu where they showed recipes on how to cook the dog
Doctorine reminds me of my grandma. When I so much as scrapped my knees as a child, she would threaten to get the axe to chop off my legs if this ever happened again. So I got good at not crying and field dressing my own wounds. She even showed me how to stitch, both fabric and flesh. "Make sure you get the stitching taut, see? *she said as she tugged at the fresh stitches she did on her own back hand* "See if you can get your teeth in it." Miss ya, Granny Ollie.
Tbf, I don't think Dalton is wrong for feeling guilty. Even if he wasn't a bad guy himself, he was complicate in maintaining Wapols control as the guy in charge of safeguarding him.
It makes me so happy to see somebody this emotional over the beginning of the show. Being this connected early on is the best thing that can happen to you and I'm so excited to cry with you throughout your journey!!!!
There might be something in the scene with the poster that Kureha said that you missed. Anyway, fun fact. Oda was asked in a letter why a lot of his characters pick their noses all the time. He wrote: "Yeah, they do. Pick, pick, picky. So you wonder why... well, doesn't everyone pick their nose? The other mangakas just have their cameras pointed away when it happens. If you don't pick your nose... your boogers would collect up! Oh dear... another dirty topic. Printing this kind of stuff makes all the female readers cringe. It'll happen again. But the guys laugh their asses off! Right?! Okay, next."
As a new viewer of your channel, i have to say, i LOVE your reactions. You have so much energy and emotion in the commentary you're doing that it's infectious. OP became extremely daunting years after I had first watched it (4Kids era) so other than bigger events and scenes i never watched it. But after binging these for the last few days, i think Ill join you for the full journey ^^ Keep living your life Alicia, beat the Big C, and go forth knowing your fans are behind you ^^
I forget when its mentioned but Kureha is the oldest human we know of in one piece. She is around 140 years old I believe. So I wonder how many kids she has had?
lol Luffy isnt rogers kid, he just seems to have inherited his will and is very similar to him apparently. the Whole D clan mystery has yet to be fully explained its driving us fans insane XD but youll meet unrelated characters with that initial more and more as you go thru the story
As someone who caught up and enjoys watching people's journey through OP. I'm still amazing at Oda's ability to set up huge plot points as a throw away line earlier in the series
as I remember, the Sakura Tree was also something someone suggested, or pointed out to Oda, as I recall they said that the mountains that were supposed to be drums resembled tree trunks, thus again Oda rolled with it
I really like the fact that Nami recognizes herself a bit as Chopper and above all, recognizes Kureha's kindness. Somehow Kureha and Chopper aren't that far from Bellemere with Nami and Nojiko, the two are families, with no blood connection. You finally meet Mr2 Bon Clay-sama, whose design is greatly inspired by Jim Carey. You will see why we appreciate it much later.
Chopper is 15 yr old in pre timeskip i guess, and reindeer live upto 18 yr so chopper is technically an old man, but he ate the human human fruit, but still he's a reindeer
There is a lot of mysteries in one piece it's kind of like a big puzzle the show will give you pieces throughout the show and you're just supposed to put them together that's why there's so many one piece theories
This right here. When I first read it in the manga, it brought me to tears. Truly this is where I could not turn back and had to see this story to the end.
No it's just a joke they share. Excel from Excel Saga has pet dog called Menchii, (minced meat) that is her emergency food supply. Menchii sings the closing song. Edit: Excel Saga came out in 1996 before one piece.
I remembered Dalton much more fondly on first time watch through than during this re-watch. Dalton really didn't do much in the present other than get shot huh?
I remember some lady talking about the Chopper arc and saying it was stupid. "But they didn't made any tree bloom, it was all for nothing. How dumb." I never wanted to slap someone so much before. Dense MFs...
Mr. 2 Bon Clay has no female partner, as he plays the roles of both a man and a woman. He's actually named after two holidays in one; the O-bon festival and Kure, the end-of-the-year festival. In regards to his gender identity, he's an okama (literally meaning pot or kettle, originated in Edo as slang for anus), which is a Japanese umbrella term (sometimes used pejoratively) that covers gay men, drag queens, gender nonconforming men, and trans women. English translations involving him tend to use the word 'queer' instead, since we don't really have an exact word for someone like that. Based on crew roster, there is a non-canon Devil Fruit that shows up around this point from the video game, Great Hidden Treasure of the Nanatsu Islands. This is the second Devil Fruit that originated in a video game, but the first one kind of got adapted into the anime later: Devil Fruit Bios: 16: Pasa Pasa no Mi Translated Name: None Name Origin: 'Pasapasa', Japanese onomatopoeia for rustling, as in paper Ability: User can manipulate, control, and transform their body into paper
The Will of D...a mystery. Also yeah Mr. 2 Bon-Clay is pretty great. Also hooray Chopper has finally joined, experiencing fun and friends and the chaos that is Luffy. Thanks for the reaction.
Now that Chopper is part of the crew... this is the perfect spot to watch the 3rd One Piece movie! Its out of continuity of course, but the story focuses heavily on Chopper. Come to think of it, there was a TV special that should have fallen some place between Arlong Park and Loguetown, but I guess they don’t have that particular special episode on whatever service Alicia watches OP on.
The emergency food comes from a old anime called excel saga where the main mc kept a dog as emergency food . At the end of each episode that dog would singing how hes not food while salt be sprinkled on him .
Luffy just don't give a fuck about who you are, your past, your shape, race, etc If he wants to befriend you, he really mean it, welcome Tony Tony Chopper, our most cutest doctor
27:30 Ah, yeah. Honkai devs are fans and absolutely unashamed about it. One of them once said that the Evangelion collab was basically them fanboying with company money. They are pretty open about it and wear their influences on their sleeves, so the whole "emergency ration" recurring gag with Paimon is very likely to be a reference to One Piece.
Excel Saga had an adorable doggo named Menchi as the main character's emergency food supply. The outro was him howling a sad song about it while an interpreter translated. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann also has a emergency food supply pet pig. They pull his tail and butt off and eat it when they need an energy boost. Don't worry; it grows back.
Chat needs an "Alicia is currently self-gaslighting her brain from her own completely accurate prediction" emote.
i literally pointed at the screen and laughed saying "Yeah, right, nobody can be pregnant for 3 years"
Chopper's story is FAR from the most heartbreaking, but it always gets me regardless. I can't help tearing up at the "SHUT UP, LET'S GO!" scene. All he did was point out why Luffy wants to be friends with him, not detract him.
God, the writing consistency with this series…
You detailing that just reminded me of how Judge says everything he hates about Sanji, his “weaknesses”, only for Luffy to ask Sanji “Hey, why was he just listing off all the great things about you?”
This damn story man
Everytime
@@dragonslayergu1161the story will be a circle in the most Amazing way
16:40 here you go, Alicia:
Chopper the blue-nosed reindeer, | Was born in the land of snow. (Drum Island!) | And if you ever saw him, | you would even say he grows. |
All of the local humans, | Shot at him and called him names. (Like a monster!) | Even his fellow reindeer, | Banned him from their reindeer games. |
From the Going Me~rry, | Luffy came to say. (Shishishi!) | Chopper you can really fight, | Won't you join my crew tonight? |
All his nakama loved him, | And they all hugged Chopper. (Hip-hip-horray!) | No matter what they tell you, | You'll be a great doctor! |
_BEAUTIFUL._
Chopper: *breathes*
Alicia: bangs fist on table
Cherry blossoms blooming in a frozen kingdom. What a sight.
Also luffy helping chopper by completing ignoring his worries is so in character.
Chopper is the youngest member of the crew btw.
He is younger than Luffy by 2 years.
So he is a 15 year old reindeer-human, to Luffy being 17.
I watched and re-watched this anime so many times and IT JUST DAWNED ON ME THAT DR. KUREHA IS VOICED BY THE VOICE OF GOKU.
Explains her baddie kicks
I always thought his VA in japanese sounded like a chainsmoking granny.
I did not expect the Cherry Blossom scene to make me cry AGAIN
I've seen it multiple times, and it gets me EVERY TIME.
EVERY FN TIME MAN lol but this is why i love this show so much.
Biggest gender reveal party ever
Believe me, this scene, among some others, will always make you cry, no matter how many times you've watched it.
you cannot watch the cherry blossom scene without the waterworks starting ok? its the law!
The Will of D. Is still the biggest mystery of the whole series
I'd say what the One Piece is still the biggest mystery in the series.
The One Piece, the Void Century/ancient weapons, and the Will of D I feel like are the big 3 of this show’s mysteries
You’re forgetting ONE pretty big one
The D is definitely the biggest
Hehehehehheheheheheh D heheheheheghegege
37:37 Dang this girl is predicting the plot like crazy! She is this close in getting one of the plot twist of this show and I really hope she remembers this moment when she gets there.
We stand for Bon Clay!!
Okama way!!!!
My fav character outside the Strawhats, he´s the GOAT
Bon Clay is the greatest
SWANS NEVER ######### AND NEVER SAY ###########! (Yes I tagged it on purpose)
Oh shit I just remembered Chopper crying here is the same scene used in "THE ONE PIECE! THE ONE PIECE IS REAL! CAN WE GET MUC HIGHER! SO HIGH! SO HIGH! SO SO HIGH!"
🎶Oh, oh, oh...🎶
🎶Oh, oh, ooooh...🎶
I like how Dr. Kureiha has a cherry blossom on her shirt too. Also how Chopper says ‘itekimasu’ which implies he’s going but intends to come back
I love that Luffy didn't even know Chopper was a doctor when he invited him in, man's really is Big of heart, Dumb of Ass
Dr. Kureha's drink of chose is Umeshu, a plum wine. It's sour and folk lore says it makes you live longer.
Apparently the idea to use the dust to dye the snow was a very late idea, like manga in production dead line coming up late. He got the idea from hearing about how during the industrial revolution coal ash and smoke would dye the snow black.
People don't have to be related by blood to have very similar spirits. The idea of inherited wills is a big throughline in this series.
The post-fight episodes are always my favorites.
Yess! I live when they are having a big feast or just relaxing on the ship, even though it’s not what the show is really supposed to be centered around. Just seeing their bond is super fun and I love how humorous the show is (especially pre-timeskip) during those moments.
@@shiny_selenium6448 Oda said his favorite panels to draw are the parties.
@@honkworld9405 Oh that actually makes a lot of sense considering how light-hearted and happy they are!

I like it how the first axe Doctorine threw was a mirror to when Dr. Hiriluk shot at Chopper
Doctorine reminds me of my grandma. When I so much as scrapped my knees as a child, she would threaten to get the axe to chop off my legs if this ever happened again. So I got good at not crying and field dressing my own wounds. She even showed me how to stitch, both fabric and flesh. "Make sure you get the stitching taut, see? *she said as she tugged at the fresh stitches she did on her own back hand* "See if you can get your teeth in it." Miss ya, Granny Ollie.
Tbf, I don't think Dalton is wrong for feeling guilty. Even if he wasn't a bad guy himself, he was complicate in maintaining Wapols control as the guy in charge of safeguarding him.

Thanks to that one meme, I hear Hikari E whenever Chopper's crying.
Luffy didn't give Chopper's fears a single chance. And sometimes that is all what a person needs.
There might be something in the scene with the poster that Kureha said that you missed.
Anyway, fun fact. Oda was asked in a letter why a lot of his characters pick their noses all the time. He wrote:
"Yeah, they do. Pick, pick, picky. So you wonder why... well, doesn't everyone pick their nose? The other mangakas just have their cameras pointed away when it happens. If you don't pick your nose... your boogers would collect up! Oh dear... another dirty topic. Printing this kind of stuff makes all the female readers cringe. It'll happen again. But the guys laugh their asses off! Right?! Okay, next."
So now we know.
Chopper learned how to take a compliment from his tsundere mom.

I forget when its mentioned but Kureha is the oldest human we know of in one piece.
She is around 140 years old I believe.
So I wonder how many kids she has had?
You could say Mr. 3 and Mr. 5 were a couple of ODD balls 😃
Chopper truly has great parents.
lol Luffy isnt rogers kid, he just seems to have inherited his will and is very similar to him apparently. the Whole D clan mystery has yet to be fully explained its driving us fans insane XD but youll meet unrelated characters with that initial more and more as you go thru the story
I love that Kureha becomes Chopper's biggest supporter as a pirate. She gets his bounty posters printed on shirts XD
I don’t know much about this Ace guy but he seems like a really cool guy, I would love to sit down and have a coffee and a donut with him
Luffy's known family members were all seen but the viewer won't know till a bit later. Some of the reveals will seem obvious after.
Thats Drum Island arc to you. It introduces Chopper, and reveals Gol D. Roger real name. It doesnt do much, but it was very fun
As someone who caught up and enjoys watching people's journey through OP. I'm still amazing at Oda's ability to set up huge plot points as a throw away line earlier in the series
as I remember, the Sakura Tree was also something someone suggested, or pointed out to Oda, as I recall they said that the mountains that were supposed to be drums resembled tree trunks, thus again Oda rolled with it
"nobody can be pregnant for 3 years and then have a baby pop out"
too true Alicia, too true
"We're gonna see Robin again"
> important priorities
I really like the fact that Nami recognizes herself a bit as Chopper and above all, recognizes Kureha's kindness. Somehow Kureha and Chopper aren't that far from Bellemere with Nami and Nojiko, the two are families, with no blood connection.
You finally meet Mr2 Bon Clay-sama, whose design is greatly inspired by Jim Carey. You will see why we appreciate it much later.
21:33 Back then: It's so emotional
Now: CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER
Her talking about Luffy’s potential connection to Roger makes me so excited to see her reaction to some of the major reveals later in the story!
Just as predicted, his dream came true. And he will never be forgotten.
Fun fact: Dr kurehas japanese voice actor is the same one who plays goku. Not sure if that's already been mentioned.
Chopper is 15 yr old in pre timeskip i guess, and reindeer live upto 18 yr so chopper is technically an old man, but he ate the human human fruit, but still he's a reindeer
I forgot how many important lore things got foreshadowed in drum island.
There is a lot of mysteries in one piece it's kind of like a big puzzle the show will give you pieces throughout the show and you're just supposed to put them together that's why there's so many one piece theories
This right here. When I first read it in the manga, it brought me to tears. Truly this is where I could not turn back and had to see this story to the end.
Chopper on the screen
Alicia: "THAT'S A BABY!"
Watching this series over and over while also watching others reactions will never get old and by far this is my favorite channel
By The Way, Chopper’s birthday is Christmas Eve, Dec 24
Which absolutely fits a reindeer with a cool nose
No it's just a joke they share. Excel from Excel Saga has pet dog called Menchii, (minced meat) that is her emergency food supply. Menchii sings the closing song.
Edit: Excel Saga came out in 1996 before one piece.
The Bon Clay here was inspired by Jim Carry's role in "Dumb and Dumber".
If Chopper's voice is killing you now, check out his dub voice. It'll finish the job.
18:48 We're going to send off our baby in a FLASHY WAY, BUGGY-STYLE!
I remembered Dalton much more fondly on first time watch through than during this re-watch. Dalton really didn't do much in the present other than get shot huh?
You probably remember Dalton much more fondly because of what he does for his country later on in the story.
Ive always loved the twist that its gol D and not gold. So many questions
I can't believe after watching the Drum arc about 3 times I never noticed it before that Dr. Kureha was voiced by the VA who voiced Son Goku.
Chopper is honestly the cutest little drug dealer I've ever seen
22:30 THE ONE PIEEEECE. THE ONE PIECE IS REEEEEAL.
"No one can carry a baby for 3 years and then pop out..."
Oh in one piece you can.
I remember some lady talking about the Chopper arc and saying it was stupid.
"But they didn't made any tree bloom, it was all for nothing. How dumb."
I never wanted to slap someone so much before. Dense MFs...
Take a shot everytime she says "That's a baby" during this arc.
Fun drinking game
I felt my liver seize up when I read this comment and said
Wildefice's Liver: Do it ... I dare you !
Drum Arc done and Chopper has now joined.
Now onto the Main Arc of the Saga, the Alabasta Arc.
the first D. set up, gol D. roger, monkey D. luffy. anyone who is anyones got to have that D. it is just the way of life don't you know

Translated Name: None
Name Origin: 'Pasapasa', Japanese onomatopoeia for rustling, as in paper
Ability: User can manipulate, control, and transform their body into paper
"The D stands for Dee!, D E E!"
Zolo Zoro: "This party's getting crazy"
The Will of D...a mystery. Also yeah Mr. 2 Bon-Clay is pretty great. Also hooray Chopper has finally joined, experiencing fun and friends and the chaos that is Luffy. Thanks for the reaction.
This arc ending and Alabastas are the best endings of all time!
Does anyone else think it’s oddly weird how psychic she is about specific “things”
Anyone noticed that the female Doc sounds like Goku in japanese? Is it the same voice actress?
Bon clay sama is one of my all time favourites.
It’s hilarious hearing Alicia say that about mr 2 like she didn’t meet him already 💀
“Nobody can be pregnant for 3 years”
Funny thing about that
we "finally" saw the first Okama of the series
Now that Chopper is part of the crew... this is the perfect spot to watch the 3rd One Piece movie! Its out of continuity of course, but the story focuses heavily on Chopper.
Come to think of it, there was a TV special that should have fallen some place between Arlong Park and Loguetown, but I guess they don’t have that particular special episode on whatever service Alicia watches OP on.
I too i think it's good to see all the films in Order during the series binge
Take a shot every time she says baby.

Luffy just don't give a fuck about who you are, your past, your shape, race, etc

My theory is that Doctorine is 39, but she drinks a lot.
Just realized, Chopper is basically Dr. Dolittle.
Zoro needs to stop messin with old ladies, they might go ultra instinct and end him.
37:40 "no one can be pregnant for 3 years"
Well... what about half of that?
Chopper is the youngest strawhat at only 15
Also OKAMA WAY!
Alicia when Robin shows up on screen is literally the same as me with Crocodile fr fr
"That's a Baby" are we going to hear this everytime when we see him?😂
*Chopper does ANYTHING* Alicia:THATS A BABY
YES! YOU'VE MET ACE!!!!
Oh, no.... you've met Ace.
Lots of iconic shots in these episodes.
27:30 Ah, yeah. Honkai devs are fans and absolutely unashamed about it. One of them once said that the Evangelion collab was basically them fanboying with company money. They are pretty open about it and wear their influences on their sleeves, so the whole "emergency ration" recurring gag with Paimon is very likely to be a reference to One Piece.
My god Drum has some really good shit in it. The Climb, the Flashback, and the Sendoff are all just peak.
You tried to eat me, now I eat you. Fair is fair.
@37:40 😂 I can't stop laughing
Excel Saga had an adorable doggo named Menchi as the main character's emergency food supply. The outro was him howling a sad song about it while an interpreter translated.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann also has a emergency food supply pet pig. They pull his tail and butt off and eat it when they need an energy boost. Don't worry; it grows back.
Alicia: No one can hold a pregnancy for three years.
Me: ... Well she's not wrong.
Rouge: 😅
Aww. Chopper and his story always get me right here ❤
Alicia just said a phrase that gonna age SO BAD! XD
Just one?
Alicia's thirst for Robin is my spirit animal
