- In this video I go over One Piece and the goods and bads of its beginning. Does it deserve as much hate as it gets? Is One Piece actually worth getting into? How does it compare to other battle Shonen's like Bleach, Naruto, and Dragon Ball?
Includes information from One Piece Manga, up to Chapter 220.

Fun Fact: In a manga collaboration with Dragon Ball, Luffy was able to ride Goku's cloud which means Luffy had a pure heart.
@@Azraeluchiha999he could definitely ride the nimbus cloud he’s just a stretchy goku lol
Pure Evil
Well of course he has.
No wonder Luffy bet his crew for fun.
Even though that's not canon he probably actually could ride it.
the one thing i love about one piece is that the world doesn't revolve around the strawhats. the world is still moving. events outside of the crew's journey are still occuring. thw world is affected by factors other than our main cast, it makes the world feel big and real, and i just love this aspect of one piece.
yes and now that the strawhats are big players in the world, the world actually does revolve a bit around them now. Really gives a sense of progression
It’s why One Piece, and Hunter X Hunter, are so amazing in that regard.

One Piece being the kind of story every young writer dreams of making is probably the best description of it I’ve heard in a while.
Facts. Exactly the way I describe it.
I read this comment at the exact moment Seth said it lol!
It seems pretty damned dumb 💀 actual stupid head assery where people go to a place, do a thing, and the main character never changes even minorly. Zero growth, just gets more bigger mega punchies.
@@noneofyourbusiness4133 Luffy and his crew grows. Arguably zoro doesn't change that much until the timeskip but the others do. It's like how Sasuke just seems edgy after the timeskip in Naruto but becomes more interesting as the story progresses.
Who dreams of making goofy save the princess stories
I also like that one piece will actually change the characters outfits based off of what kind of island they are on. Not enough manga writers take advantage of the creativity with outfit design which also makes it feel more real when the characters don't wear exactly the same clothes every single day
wow crazy still mid L manga L anime L franchise as a whole

@@adsfddsdfsfsdsasofsavgdhua4879 bro why
You are totally right about the character involvement. That's kind of what bothered me about the ending of Naruto. All these characters that were introduced in the first part became irrelevant by the end. They barely had any showcases and where just rushed over because Kishimoto seemed to be in a rush to end the main story and didn't really know what to do with the other characters. Which is a shame considering the final war arc had plentely of opportunities for the other characters with the Edo Tensei revivals. Oda does a phenomenal job at not only including tons of charactes in the story but even giving all of them their fair amount of time to shine.
Yup oda will have you care about characters that you just dislike.
the land of the rising sun
He did try and give a few other characters spotlight but yeah I kinda agree
it a shame because kishimoto can make great character it just because the focus on naruto, sasuke, and the antagonist were too heavy the other characters were just support. They aren't as active as a wyper, nojiko, or even dr kureha.
same with bleach lol
Damn Seth been uploading consistently lately 💀 I don’t know if I should be concerned or happy
Def concerned
Bro gonna take like a 3 year break after this 😅
He deserves a good break after this push, but hopefully not that damn long 😢
GARBAGE
It's because on December the RUclips revenue is exponencionally higher with the holydays and the ads selling better ,on January it's the worst in the year so bad that it's half as good as the normal month and content creators start having breaks
One Piece feels way more alive and interesting than most other shonen because of the setting and the characters. Oda built an entire world with its own history and people. One Piece isn't just a vehicle for merchandising, Oda really does have a story to tell.
Yea OP world is alive and doesn't revolve around the MC. Everything moves forward even without the SH i.e the cover stories, growth in power , and political movements.
The story is repetitive
@@homomagii I feel that way too, every arc follows the same plot structure
@@homomagii one piss fanboys crazy
@@homomagii idk man most great shows such as Phineas and Ferb, Tom and Jerry, Adventure Time, etc... aka all the classic cartoons all have a recipe just like One Piece and they are all classic. I think the story is fantastic, repetitive but fantastic.
Have watched a lot of anime and just the amount of emotional responses I get from this show is so endearing to me. Great anime.
It’s a masterpiece
If the series had pre time skip pacing the entire show it would be simply perfect, still close imo
I find one piece entertaining and interesting. But certainly not emotional. It's to whacky and strange not relate to at all. Its like watching Tom and Jerry. They always have an annoying female that most the screen time. Nami probably wasn't even written in the story but shoe horn in. Then the stuff they wear. Very slutty while they have a terrible attuite. Wrong on so many level's. The amount of screen time wasted on Nami being angry or just her being a mean cow. And there's Sanjay one of the biggest simps. That's also a piece of crap. Going around telling every woman he meets he loves them. He's worse then a dog. Oh and now in more recent episodes. They have that Samurai that looks like cute chick. Looks and talks like a woman. Basically they drew a woman give her a woman's voice and called it a guy. Very sickening indeed. One piece has certainly been propagandised. Full of this crap like the rest of anime.
@@fullercrane1795your full of sh**
brodie have you not seen senor pinks backstory. sanjis full back story? the show does everything mane
@@fullercrane1795
Seth, you're in for an incredible story in the next several arcs.
I basically grew up with One Piece; I'm currently 23 and have been watching it since my pre-teens. I am not kidding nor exaggerating when I say it's a huge, huge part of my life and myself and I'm glad it exists. I hope you get to feel that too one day.
Same here brother! I adore one piece and it's become an enormous part of my life
been on that road since i was 16... now iam 37 and still enjoying the story :D
@@OnlineMedien amen! What's you're favorite moment? Mine is aces "thank you for loving me" that shit makes me cry everytime
One piece is good. Is it the best anime ever? Naw.
Same boat pretty much, started watching anime at around 7 with yuyu hakisho and then I was introduced to one piece, I'm currently 19 and I work as naval engineer because I love usopp and Franky but Coby is an idol. This show is one of those shows that once it's gone not a single person will say it's bad
The biggest thing for me is the length. Like 1000+ chapters and episodes? That is a big and seemingly daunting task to embark on. But as someone who binged the entire pre time skip in just over a month, it was worth it. Beautiful story, funny scenes, amazing fight scenes. People really need to watch it.
Yeah the pacing is definitely a problem but other than that Op is a masterpiece.
@@canwegetmuchhigher729 the pacing was fine pre timeskip. But post? Especially dressrosa? At that point I watched it because I already invested like thousands of hours into it that I couldn’t just back out.
@@TheVortex808 Yeah dressrosa is my one of my favourite arcs but holy hell the pacing was terrible. Manga pacing is fine tho.
1000+ chapters of pure unadulterated mid, manga cant decide if its meant to be taken serious or if it wants to be a show for 5 year olds with all the cringe goofy designs and all the anti-climactic jokes in the middles of fights/serious scenes, unwatchable and unreadable, should be erased from this earth
@@adsfddsdfsfsdsasofsavgdhua4879 you sure spend a lot of time hating on a franchise loved by millions that has also made billions of dollars. Go ahead and not like it but you saying it’s bad is entirely your opinion😪
As someone in Fishman island, when u read one piece u start to pick up on character trends, such as the fact Luffy is not a hero, he’s just batshit insane
He is heroic though. Just not entirely selfless like most heroes.
@@zigsteenine8650 he's heroic not because he wants to live up to a certain standard. It's just who he is.
he just wants to have fun with it.
@@benl.4577 thats especially what makes him heroic. He doesn’t call himself a hero or want to be one. It literally is just who he is.
Automatically opinion rejected when I saw your profile picture.
I started the One Piece anime in 2016 and instantly became obsessed with the story, characters and one piece world. Picked up the manga at chapter 1000, havent been able to let go of it since. Absolutely the best work of fiction to ever exist, you’re in for a ride.
I dunno about the BEST one, because Berserk exist. There's also Naruto, which in my opinion has far better pacing and character development.
Yea, One Piece is a really good story.
That's why One Piece, Naruto and HunterxHunter>Dragon ball. I'm sorry to all DB fans, but you can read Naruto/One Piece/HunterxHunter at any age and find it interesting good story. I didn't read/watch Dragon Ball as a kid, then I try to read it/watch original DB and DBZ when I was 17-18. It was boring and pretty stupid story without good plot. The only thing I didn't drop after few episodes was DBZ abridged. It was funny,it wasn't boring and Frieza didn't fight Goku for 3 hours.
I don't know about "the best one", dunno.
I Started OP in 2018
Read manga since 1025ish I just couldn't wait. First show to get me into manga.
Now I read like maybe 6 Mangas atm.
OP is by far my favorite fictional story I've read or watch.
@@MiniMagit you think naruto is peak fiction?…💀💀💀
@@adamxo. yh it is lmaoo
Can't wait for Seth to start powerscaling One Piece, there aren't many in-depth powerscalers for the series.
one piece power scaling ain’t no fun
There are, they're just not that popular
Same like I do look at some one piece powerscaling but it’s just their not well known as a powerscaler so it’s difficult to trust but Seth is almost always accurate with his scales and been scaling for a good 10 years I think
@@GotMyDickInYaMouthAfter post-timeskip, it is indeed fun
@@GotMyDickInYaMouth Pre time skip, sure. But post time skip is fun to mess around with.
The main reason you’re missing on why One Piece isn’t gotten into by a lot is because of the anime. Chapters can be read at a faster pace and generally quicker than a whole episode. If the story starts to slow down you can just read through it faster. With the West I feel as thought manga isn’t as mainstream as anime, causing anime to be the only way the stories are consumed making this issue
Some truth here for sure
That’s pretty much what I did when I got into the series. I mostly watched the anime but when the story felt like it was moving slow I would switch to the manga. I also think some people forget to skip the filler so the length just comes off as daunting to them.
Yea the anime is annoying. It almost feels like chunks of every episode is filler. Like repeated scenes and drawn out exchanges. I really can’t watch the anime
it's also because of 4kids. The exposure one piece got in the west was kind of ruined by 4kids dub. while naruto, bleach, and dragon ball, got some really cool voices and a proper team, one piece got cringe edits, character voices/accents, puns, and dad jokes.
yeah but the anime pacing doesn’t really get bad until marineford and timeskip. it’s actually watchable before hand
Never thought I'd see the day Seth talks about One Piece
ITS REALLL!!!!!
“How do we tell him?” -mr. Krabs
Hopefully he's caught up before the series ends💀💀💀💀
THE ONE PIECE IS REALLLL!!! CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER? SO HIGH! OH OH OH, OH OH OH OH, OH
no it isnt

It's always interesting hearing the opinion of a newcomer to one piece. They typically have a unique take and perspective on scenes and themes that can be thought provoking to someone that's further along in the story. With that being said, I'm really interested in hearing your thoughts on it once you get through Marineford and eventually caught all the way up to the current chapters. I'd love to hear your perspective on the power scaling for the series; some of the feats and abilities seen later on are amazing.
Sooo happy that Seth’s covering one piece. Can’t wait for the power scaling 3 years from now
that's a bad idea
One piece powerscallers smoke crack
one piss is fodder
@@unclephillymya how?
It’s not the worst, it’s very vast with so many characters with different abilities mixed with haki
One piece is definitely one of those works of fiction where you need to get past a certain point and it gets exponentially better. The character development and world building really culminate into an incredibly immersive world. Hope you make more one piece videos in the future!
but why should i have to get past a certain point? not to mention that “point” from what i understand is several episodes/chapters in. shouldn’t a great series just be like…great? why should i have to gruel through anything
@@creezuz no one is forcing you. Its just that the beginning arcs of one piece are very different from other popular animes (mostly comedy and not serious) so if anime watchers go into one piece they'd hate the beginning.
when it hits seth is gonna go crazy hopefully he updates us with reactions as he reads
@@creezuz I’d say it arguably starts off great and then at a certain point becomes fantastic. There’s nothing to “gruel” through. Read it and you’ll see.
@@creezuz he's saying it doesn't start out as the greatest thing ever. the beginning of one piece is still charming and well written (enough to justify still watching it) it's just not the best saga it has to offer
You are gonna love the climax of the last arc, man
Its the culmination of years and years of foreshadowing... Its freaking amazing how everything is still so consistent and surprising more than 20 years later
THE ONE PIECE, THE ONE PIECE IS REAL
CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER
So highhhh~
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Fun fact: Sanji was originally going to be named Naruto but Oda changed it to Sanji as we know him today.
Hmm so he didn’t have the whole Germa Kingdom and his backstory planned out then? Cause San Ji means 3rd Son
@@patflann29 maybe he did, but the naming convention wasn’t a thing yet
@@patflann29 He had stuff planned out to some extent. Thats why we got his origin with North Blue etc pretty early on and the name obviously. So I guess he had ideas, but realized the final idea probably later on.
@@patflann29 The Germa soldiers could have had food names before maybe?
@Ywach Well no, it's because Sanji was set to appear around the same time the Naruto manga was first released in Shonen Jump. He changed the name to avoid confusion with Kishimoto's character.
I used to think One Piece was just all hype and at first i found it to be annoying but after the alabasta/arabasta arc was when i just started to really appreciate it. Now i must say it is one of the greatest stories i have ever had the pleasure of following. I love that the author doesn't take short cuts like many do and the characters absolutely stay true to who they are so when they do things you really believe and connect with the character and overall story! I would highly recommend watching or reading the manga!
Its hella corny and annoying for sure but im still gonna push thru
@@nightnday6675Just don't hyper focus on some flaws and you should be good.
Still think is trash( and yes i read and still reading)
Go read berserk it's way better then one piece. In my opinion it's actually one of the worst animes/ manga around
@@jeremynguyen4574 weird opinion but ehh
One piece is about the journey not the destination. Also oda is the goat for anime world building. So much depth in this anime. As well as amazing character development. Seth I can’t wait for you to get into some of the better arcs. So much great stuff coming for you.
I think out of everything seth has done I think one piece fans are more excited that a guy like seth is finally getting into one piece 😂
@@x-immortalkill-x5596 very true. Would love some power scaling compared to other animes
Miura is the best in history
one piss should end
Been reading one piece since I was 10 (I’m 23 now) and man does the endgame of one piece make everything feel so satisfying for me. I’ve been on the journey most of my life with the cast so I can’t help but love everything about it. Although I completely understand someone not being into it or being put off by the sheer volume of the story. I can’t even bring myself to tell others that they should read 1k plus chapters because of how much real life time it takes from you. If I wasn’t caught up for over a decade there’s no way I’d be reading or watching that much idc how good it is. Shout out to those actually tackling that monster of a read
I started in September and I’m on the beginning of the Onigashima Raid. I don’t regret it one bit but ya it has consumed my life
I caught up from chapter 1 in 45 days to 2 months
@@keyboard2758 how you like it?
@@Stinky11fly dude I love OP I was pretty happy when Seth made this video
I caught up within 3 months last year and I thank God I got into this wonderful story. What’s there not to love, the comic goofiness, the adventure, the mystery and the lore, the characters, the world building, the story, the hype moments, everything is just so good. It has a way of bringing you so close to the Straw hats and experiencing the journey with them. Truly a masterpiece.
Romance Dawn for a reason❤
You caught up the perfect time mate. Look at how One Piece is non stop peak world building since the end of Wano
I basically did the same as you and just got into one piece only a year ago. I’m all caught up and am reading the new chapters weekly. It’s a beautiful story with exceptional characters. I never thought I’d love One Piece this much, but gosh, am I happy I gave this one a shot because I’ve fallen in love with so much of this story. Oda has a talent for writing compelling characters and the world building is phenomenal. Truly each arc gets better. I do have my favourites, but all in all this is a wonderful journey I hopped into. I hope you have as much fun with the rest of the story Seth.
Latest chapters have rekindled my love for the series to the state it hasn't been in years. Oda is on a roll currently and you can finally see everything he's setup coming together.
As a new reader how do you feel about the quality of the series now compared to the earlier arcs?
@@100navat well many questions from earlier chapters are being answered now, and the new characters being introduced are awesome, it only gets better as you get further into the story
Personally I feel the one piece manga is the greatest piece of fiction created. But I understand the people who are put off that you have to read 300+ chapters for it to get good. Those peoples opinions are completely valid. People who call it overated honestly? Completely understandable
My prayers came true, one piece is a work of art in it's own right, when I watch the anime or read the manga I can't help but let myself get submerged in it's world building. The attention to detail, the cultures let alone the designs overall no matter how goofy just feel refreshing. I honestly can't wait for Seth's final review and hopefully, how Seth will power scale the characters in the series.
The goofiness seems a turn off at the beginning but when you actually learn more about the world
Thank God Oda chose a goofy art style
Imagine the ohara and law stuff with a serious art style even like Naruto
It would be so dark and dramatic
It's just annoying as fuck that they often take up 5-7 minutes of runtime with the opening theme and recap not to mention even more sometimes when they replay part of the ending of the last episode, so really your only getting about 10 minutes of story progress if it's even a story progress episode and not a filler cause the end often take 3-4 minutes of end song and next episode spiel, out of a 23 minute runtime without commercials. This makes your 1000 episodes turn down to about 500 episodes if you skip through all the bullshit
Because every character out of OnePiece feels generic .
Man, look at Ivankov design . Who the hell people can forget that ?? 🤣
@@tikikeram850 Bro one piece is just the best, I mean, in what fictional world can you see great designs such as Zoro, Katakuri and Mihawk exist along side some really weird, loonie tunes like designs such as Big Mom, Wapol and Gecko Moria.
@@jaydagr87 yeah. That's why i love OnePiece 👍
Congrats on getting into One Piece. Its SO good! Being as long form as it is its natural for storylines to have ups and downs. Even on the downs though, its still great world building that does come into play during the big upward arcs (even if its hundreds of chapters later). The story simply wouldn't work as well without all the pieces.
Kinda funny how the moment that made you love Luffy as a character is to me, one of the worst moments in the series as a whole due to how uncharacteristic it portrayed Luffy, like Zoro was his first mate, the first person he trusted to join his crew, they were together for months now, they both entrusted each other with their dreams and ambitions, and all of a sudden, he just flat out refuses to believe in Zoro when he says that those guys tried to ambush them, even attacking Zoro and trying to kill him without even trying to hear what he has to say, rather choosing to believe on some shady people he only just ment, when just a few arcs ago he refused to believe Nami betrayed them and almost killed Zoro's friend for saying it.
nah luffy regularly tries to killy anyone who messes with people who feed him. it just happened in the manga this week
@@jamesjones5023 that's not the point, it is about him choosing to believe in some shady people he just met rather than Zoro when it was already established in the series that he fully trusts in his crew even when it may seem that they were in the wrong
@@guilhermecastro5964 This is still early OP. They haven't known each other that long despite their trust in each other plus the fight was shown in a mostly comedic way so I don't get why people are saying it unrealistic or not in character when truly it was just a gag.
I'll never understand why people like you take comedy moments like this too seriously, the fight was just set up for the joke of them beating up Mr5 and Miss Valentine without even noticing them
@@Insouciant_Lyfê Dude, for less than that Luffy almost beat up Yosaku when he said Nami betrayed them and badmouthed her when he has known her for only a few days, he really hates when people talk shit about his crew no matter how long they have been together and that was shown as early as Arlong Park as far as i can remember, so it is in fact very uncharacteristic of Luffy to flat out refuse to believe Zoro and not even let him explain himself. And at least until Nami stopped them, the fight didn't have a comedic tone at all at least when it was framed on Luffy and Zoro, it was serious, Luffy was serious about fighting and killing Zoro, and even if it was the case of it being a joke, then it is a very bad one, because it actually misrepresent who Luffy is as a character.
I must be in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Seth is actually making One Piece content.
😂😂😂
Ive also only watched up to the end of the alabasta arc (must be a common stopping point) and i gotta say you explained usopp perfectly. Hes basically the ideal version of what they were going for with sakura. And hes one of my favorite characters for that exact reason hes literally just a normal ass dude in a world with rubber men and god powers, so his run-of-the mill “i wanna be strong!” Goal is actually really interesting and makes me root for him the most out of anyone.
Alabasta arc is good, but just wait until Water 7 and Enies Lobby. That is the arc that made me fall in love with the series, and I suspect a lot of One Piece fans will say something similar.
@@justanothergamer9570 I actually don’t think water 7 is that good when compared to other shounen arcs.
@@NemzYT Then what one piece arcs are good?
Wait tilll you get to god usopp😉
I think the best part about one piece is how consistent it is. Nothing seems like it shouldn't be there, everything happens for a reason, and the end goal is always being worked towards in some way. It's a great series if you're able to get the motivation to dive into it
One Piece really isn’t that consistent. Every arc connects incredibly well. But that doesn’t make it consistent, esp in quality. The quality of each arc is up and down until a certain point until they just start to kinda be consistently good. Which is def a turn off
@@mlh1367 to sum that up you just don't like the start to arcs as there's a lot of information that gets dropped on you.
Whole cake
Wano
Marine Ford
Impel down
All have great starts and through out the arcs too.
Ones that start off eh are
Dressrosa
Zoe
Water 7
These start off really boring.
one arc though, Foxy. I wonder if the Foxy arc is going to become relevant someday, because for now, it feels like a canon "filler" arc, since Foxy doesn't come up again and nobody references Foxy again. Nobody references a Davy Back fight again either.
True or there is no glaring moment that makes you kinda stop and think about like what happened to madara or in super the ending of the goku black arc. Like those kinda make you think that's it? almost but one piece kinda flows better or is more poetic for lack of a better term.
Its literally the biggest draw back from the show, It doesnt have consistency, and 90% of what happens feels like filler
This series gets crazier and more complex as you go with insane level of detail and plot threads constantly weaving through the major plot and foreshadowings coming to fruition in such mind blowing ways it’s incredible get ready because it just gets bigger and better
No it doesn’t all the arcs are the same
@@jotarosold9290 oh yeah dressorosa is totally similar to marinford
Cap
Idk if you are fanboying but One Piece dips in quality after marine ford and present time since Oda has already set most of ground work anything past Wano is on the up right now.
@@hamdan4600 it’s definitely similar to alabasta though. Why compare to marineford
My experience with manga (and anime) drives to conclusion that if something is too long, it is slog and unworthy. Cool video
I binged watched One Piece during the pandemic. It's definitely worth watching if you're planning to. Great arcs, great characters, great character flashbacks, badass moments, mysteries, sad memorable moments and more. Ofcourse its still has some flaws and one that I noticed is the pacing is slow but it is still worth watching. The story just keeps getting better and better every arc. Watch/read at your own pace and don't stress it out.
this is why most people read the Manga
No one ain't watching 500 ep , and waiting when the anime becomes good
It's a long ways away, but I think after dresrossa is a really good time to revisit and review the series. Also, a nice mini review of skypia could be smart to. Skypia is largely considered a complete end to end story within one piece on its own. Starting with Bellamy and ending with Enel is a unique all-encompassing story that's worth focusing on.
So much of Skypiea becomes relevant to the entire worlds lore, though. So while I agree its a enclosed story-arc, it has massive ramifications for the series as a whole.
I’m very excited for you to get further into the series. Later on you will see some of the earlier characters that most of the time would have been forgotten about in other series all of a sudden be super important in some arcs. Also we have just started the climax of the story and it super exciting to really focus on the plot of the story after building up hundreds of characters and worlds.
Only just got into the series a month ago and I'm just past the alabasta arc
And I'm hooked once ya get past the introductions it's really easy to get caught up in the story
8:38 not only that but his editors told him to focus more on the main 2 characters because that's what fans wanted around the timeskip's time. So I think it would've happened regardless of his early burnout.
I'd say One Piece's first S tier arc starts after chapter 320, so you need a lot of patience. But it does pay off.
Water 7 is great, but arcs like Arlong Park, Alabasta, and Skypiea all belong in the S-tier conversation.
@@kevinb5417 exactly powerful scenes like Noland flashback, nami asking Luffy for help leading to the arlong walk, the vivi goodbye, Blackbeard speech, and mihawk arrival all happen before water 7. Water 7 and enies lobby is just the arc where the emotions and story of one piece are at it peak but that doesn't mean everything before isn't S tier.
@@TyandOnGoing Personally the emotional highs of One Piece for me have been in Sabaody and Marineford. But I think Water 7 and Enie's Lobby are both comparably great.
I’d say Arlong, Alabasta, a couple moments in Skypia, Water Seven, Enies Lobby, sabaody, Impel down, marineford all deserve S.
@@kingrippzard2027 I said chapter 320, which is right before Water 7 starts. Enies Lobby, Sabaody, Impel Down and Marineford all happen afterwards.
But out of all the ones you listed, I'd give S only to W7, Sabaody and Marineford. They are consistently great and suspenseful, when I think of them I don't even need to think of any particular highlight to remind myself why that part is top shit.
Seems like every RUclipsr is just now getting into OP it’s been crazy seeing so many people reading it for the first time
This is exactly why I love One piece. The world is connected, you get to learn more about other nations and islands and the events happening in these areas actually have an impact on the rest of the world. The characters have their own lives and goals and they don't just become completely irrelevant after one arc. The world of One piece doesn't stand still because we are following the adventures of the Strawhats. That subplots tie into the main plot and the arcs are all important, they are either part a saga or there are themes introduced that will be important in the following arcs. Each arc isn't just a wash and repeat like many people think, the events of that arc have impact on the rest of story.
I ended up falling in love with One Piece once Arlong Park hit, bc as u said i actually started to like the all the characters. Im on Impel Down rn and started in May 2021 lol (im watching other anime along w One Piece) and it was definitly a good decision for me to get into. I also like the creative world Oda has in it
It’s crazy how Seth hasn’t even gotten to the best arcs yet 😭
fr none of the arcs he's seen so far are in my top 5, and only arlong park is in my top 10 because of the nami scene and her backstory.
Crazy how he never will, stuck in prison LOL

I remember Seth talking about OP ages ago and saying something like, "people think OP is God tier but I just think it's ok". He gave the impression that he had read some of it at least but later I saw that he just started.
It was annoying hearing him talk about OP in a condescending manner when he didn't even read it, and when he did start he was already spoiled on many plot points and didn't attempt to avoid any more spoilers. Not saying he has to like OP but it felt like he wasn't giving it a proper chance.
It's nice to see that he stuck with it and is enjoying for the most part. Can't wait to hear his take on OP powerscaling.
a joke i told my friends was "it gets good at around episode 500" and then my friend started reading it and i couldn't stop reminiscing about how good some of the characters he would meet soon and moments he would see be. i was surprised how good it really was haha and every back story is amazing in itself.
I am someone who put off watching/reading One Piece for a veeeery long time, but I was more than willing to watch the likes of DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, Trigun, Gurren-Lagann and others all the way through multiple times. The thing that put me off personally was the length. However, when the big news of the 1000th chapter was rolling around, and I started to hear people at work and online talking more and more about it, I decided to finally jump in. September 2021 is when I started. By May 2022, I was completely caught up with everything in the anime and started reading the manga to fill in the rest.
First of all, I want to say that websites and groups such as Anime Filler List and One Pace helped me *tremendously* in weeding out the excessive filler, and making the anime version a lot more watchable since I wanted to get caught up with the main story as quickly as possible and I'm more an anime fan than a manga fan.
One Piece has been an amazing journey with all of the main characters showcasing just how good, loyal, strong, and deeply rich they can be. In terms of storytelling, it blew everything I've known before it out of the water, and I absolutely love how many times I end up being surprised by the unexpected, insanely curious of the mystery, and ecstatic to see a character return or get their comeuppance. It is fantastic, and to hear that it's still not terribly popular in the West is genuinely surprising to me. I love it, and it's great to once again be into a series that's ongoing, so I can wait for the next chapter or next episode to drop.
The way Seth explains OP worldbuilding is the most convincing out of anyone I've ever heard explain it
Bro, Seth, I cannot express how much of an inspiration you are to me. I have learned so many lessons through your channel, and you've had a huge impact on me. I can't thank you enough.
Because of you, I know how NOT to live my life
LMAO
FOALM
I was one of those people who REFUSED to watch one piece, whenever someone brought up one piece I would say something along the lines of “they need to end that show already, they’re just milking their fans at this point! Just find the dang treasure already”. One day I didn’t have much going on and with encouragement from a friend I decided to party watch with him to see what the hype was about. I can honestly say I had been missing out because I love this show, I love the characters & there are so many iconic moments and quotes in this show that are burned into my memory forever. I started in January 2022 & I’m 740 episodes in, overall it’s way worth the watch & there are filler guides on what episodes you can skip. This show isn’t like others when it comes to pacing & fights, the main villain could be within arms reach and it will take about 30 episodes for them to actually fight 😂 because there are usually other fights or things they have to take care of before actually getting to the main fight
I’m glad he’s finally reviewing this series, maybe he’ll do some power scaling too cause there aren’t a lot of powerscalers in this series
thats crazy, naruto stomps all of one piss with ease not even at full power tho, so do the weaker versions of goku lol, tbh gojo would also take a piss on luffy’s head after beating on him, L manga L anime L fodder characters L franchise L pasing L repetitive story

Damn Seth, what a great analysis of not only OP, but other main shonen big dogs! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on later OP arcs.
The allegations…ARE REALL!
*Cue Dark Fantasy*
I've been alone in the west with one piece for literally forever. Nothing compares. Im so jealous of everyone getting to experience onepiece for the first time. Oda is the goat. The depth to the story is on a whole other level.
Fun Fact:
One Piece manga has sold over 500 million copies (worldwide) becoming the second best selling comic ever behind Superman at 600 million copies (worldwide) .
I’ve seen SO many people be like “Oh one piece is so long, I could never watch it” or “the art style is bad, I’ll never watch it” to them later on changing their minds and having one piece is their favorite show, and I have 2 friends that were Naruto fans and now they prefer one piece, not saying that one piece is objectively better than Naruto, I like both animes just as much the other, but what I’m trying to say is one piece gets judged before even someone gives it a chance
Thanks for this seth, iv watched one piece before but didnt realize the depth of the efforts taken for all of the material. Truly inspiring
Seth carrying the anime debating community
Do you see debating here?
@@srnova9486 I meant he’s been uploading recently
@@bighojo None of it is really debating content ,Seth is still stuck in 2016 when it comes to scaling most popular verses
Vro still thinks DBS caps at 4D and that Naruto is planetary
@@srnova9486 how tf is he stuck in 2016😂back then it wasn’t enough feats and showings now or days there are like have u recently looked at his videos
@@x-immortalkill-x5596 His recent videos dont dive that deep in the actual power of the characters just their powers compared to power of other ppl from their own verse
Pacing isn't why I didn't get into OP, but it's why I take long breaks between arcs, sometimes I'm just mentally exhausted by the end.
I really like how one piece shows loyalty and friendship and you can feel the energy from the characters
and the best part about one piece is that it just keeps getting better and better, if you just started reading/watching it recently you’re in for one hell of a ride 😭
I’ve been watching one piece for about a year and a half now, took me a year to get through the first 150 episodes and another few months to get to Galley La. Now Ive binged past the Marineford Arc and still goin strong. Idk if its my favorite of the big 3 yet, for me its bleach but I havent finished TYBW so its too early to tell, however One Piece is quickly rising through the ranks of my favorite animes, easily top 5 maybe even Top 3 anime for me and I’ve been told it only gets better each arc and I just cant wait to see this story to its conclusion
Damn why did i tear up while he was explaining?i still remember binging the entirety of one piece,wish i could've experience it all over again, im cought upto the show but it doesn't give the same feeling as pre tomeskip one piece ngl
Egghead arc has the pre time skip pacing and feeling
You teared up,damn you one piece fanboys are hilarious
@@pacmiller7564 bruh im more of a naruto fanboy tbh💀,one piece is one of my fav show's even though im heavily biased towards naruto
That because pre ts is focused on the adventure more than story while post ts is the opposite.
How the hell do you binge the entirety of one piece? Was it a two month extendo mag binge that you went into shaved and came out of with a mountain man beard?
I really like your take, it was honestly important for new readers and watchers to know what they are reading. I had started reading it without knowing anything beforehand about the story, so many times I stopped reading and blamed the pacing, comparing it to Naruto's pacing. But as I read, I fell in love with the story and mainly Luffy who in my books the GREATEST MC OF ALL TIME. If u have enough time then just read it, you won't regret ngl. I also really loved the comparison between Luffy and Goku, Luffy was literally trying to kill Zoro for fighting a few men who gave him food but Goku still hesitated to fight Vegeta after he blew up innocent people.
It's core theme behind One Piece whole run: Friendship. But we cannot ignore Oda's problems with involving so many characters. They don't always get screen time and some devices hinting onto One Piece's characters or storyline never get mentioned again or become completely irrelevant by later chapters due to retcons.
I understand the people who hate on it because it's long. But when it's all said and done, OP will go down as the GOAT. Its adapted with the times perfectly, unparalleled in sales and the progression from "funny pirate games" to the real story is sublime.
If you had the option to be happier, why wouldnt you take it?
The fact that this is gonna lead to expanding Seth's versus battles and power scaling to the world of one piece, I'm beyond hyped!
crazy, one piss still gets bullied by gojo tho
@@adsfddsdfsfsdsasofsavgdhua4879 probably, yeah

Sanji and Nami haven't made any visible progress on their goals. Presumably, Nami has been drawing her map behind the scenes, and I think that Sanji has heard one rumor about the All-Blue, but neither of them are seen making any effort to sell out the information that they need
Damn seth is on an uploading spree. Props to him for that. Keep up the good content!
Seth boutta be in impel down
Bro 💀💀💀
I find most people who claim early One Piece to be bad can have multiple issues.
Immature and impatient. They're young and are used to quick paced progression. They have never handled well developed stories well. And it takes TIME to develop a good story.
Trash tastes. Just being honest. Most people who dislike One Piece for actual reason don't cry it's too long or say it's slow. They say it's not something they enjoy and MOVE ON.
Have never read it. Honestly most people who irrationally hate One Piece can't be bothered to read it. It's why their opinions remain invalid.
One Piece has never felt like it dragged. The rest of the "Big Three" and most other shounen manga drag. One Piece does not.
Yeah. People have no patients when it comes to long narrative driven manga like one piece and beserk
One piece has always been my favorite of the big three, growing up on it I became attached to many of the characters in the story. Like how does Oda get me to like and feel for a character like Bon Clay who I originally thought was annoying? This is just a small part of what makes me like the story but the world it's self is just as enticing with it's creative islands and environments. Overall I highly recommend it and you are in for a treat with some of the next arcs enies lobby being my favorite.
Y’all must be really happy seth watch one piece 👍
@@x-immortalkill-x5596 Indeed I was way more into dragon ball and naruto but when I watched one piece it became my favourite anime, now caught up with the manga and waiting every week for new chapters. Started reading bleach too, mid way through it rn.
As a devout Dragon Ball fan since I was in 6th grade (about 9 years ago) and I started reading One Piece in March of this year and I’m on chapter 845 and I’ve got to say already I’m in love with Op at the same level I am with DB😂😂
I saw that tweet in August and thought you legit dropped the seires since there was no updates to it. Glad to see the video, hope you enjoy the foreseeable read, you're about to enter a really high quality strech of the story
By far Jaya and Skypia are top tier arcs.
Especially Jaya, should be more appreciated more than people think.
The people who don't usually are anime watchers where the anime drags tf out of skypiea leading ppl to hate it.
Jaya is a banger. Skypia si a solid B in my opinion with S tier moments
Watch more Seth please!! I can’t wait for your reaction to the story after water 7. I feel like for a lot of readers water 7 lifted the story to new levels and introduced so much must needed added plot. It’s also referred to as one of the best arcs in one piece
Honestly Seth I completely 100% agree with EVERYTHING you said in this video and this is a totally fair judgement given you haven't caught up. Your opinion is totally different than folks saying its objectively trash because its "Long". If you're enjoying as much as you're saying it is. You'll be excited when you catch up! Rational One Piece fans don't mind a take like this at all. I'm glad you're enjoying the journey! Welcome to the crew!

All OP fans who watch Seth waited with bated breath clutching their chests when they saw the notification for this upload. God help us all.
My reaction in a nutshell
Seth and I are basically around the same point in our one piece journey rn lol.
When he started making this video he was at the end of alabasta/start of jaya in the manga.
Rn im at the end of the G-8 anime-only filler arc (which is widely considered to be the best filler arc in one piece and many fans actually want it to be canon).
Cheers to us catching up to One Piece!
After watching one piece I realized Naruto could've been much longer without the need of fillers, the other villages could've been explored alot more, even the world overall, plus the many characters who got benched.
Ehh I’d rather it not be longer honestly. A show is good when it knows when to end it and I think it was a great time to end the series
@@nozers shouldve ended sooner imo, the kaguya inclusion was forced af
@@romusa10 Naruto vs sasuke made up for it though. Shit was a masterpiece in my eyes. I’m a tough critic aswell
@@nozers says a lot about your toughness🤣
@@anikbose2825 what?
I’m holding with all my power the urges to say “I can’t wait for you to see xxx chapter, that’s where One Piece REALLY gets good”
you mean th "i want to live" or the othr that, are as good. i love barotique that really gets good too, ... so many :O
I love how it went from yea it has the unnecessary dialogue too it's definitely not the worst of the big 3 and having those tangents that are so worth talking about if u can say that after only a tenth of it, it that shows how amazing it is good video man
You stated at the start One Piece is one of the best-selling manga ever, which is a bit of a misnomer as it is by far the best-selling manga of all time with over 500 million copies sold, approximately 200 million more than the runner up Golgo 13 at 300 million, and just shy of twice as many as Dragon Ball at 260 million.
I finished the manga this summer, I’ll admit that at times the story feels like it’s going absolutely nowhere at a snails pace. But when One Piece gets good, it gets REALLY good!
the amount of episodes/chapters is super daunting so no one tries it but i see it as there being a shitton of content i will never be tired of
no if u read all of it u would know that there are TOO LITTLE
In my opinion one of the main things that could also influence for some, is the length of the series. its a bit intimidating and the fact that the series is still going making it longer the more time passes, like almost feeling you'll never catch up.
But then when you do catch up you hope that it never does end lol
@@Mooinator3000 facts
For me One Piece is so good to follow years after years after years. I would gladly do it again and discorver things weekly. Some things are so different after some events. We spend DECADES before learning it's Laugh Tale and not Raftel. We learned about IMU 21 years after the fine elders, 21 YEARS of lies !
If right now I have the choice between reading the remaining chapters till the end or waiting for every chapter each week I choose to wait without hesitation. So actually people taking their time to read almost 1100 chapter is a good thing. Take as many months as you want and don't rush. I mean things like Rayleigh's introduction are way better if you take your time
Goku didn't want to fight Majin Vegeta at first because he didn't want his power to be absorbed to awaken Buu but changed his mind after Majin Vegeta killed those people in the stadium benches and kept goading Goku to fight.
welcome to the crew, seth
I used to read the manga when I was younger, but quit because it began to feel like a chore. I was never really a fan of the art style, and I have been finding out as of recent that a lot of people have the same issues that I had when reading this series. I'm not saying it's bad, or anything. I can definitely see why people like it. I just can't get into it. One of the few times I actually liked reading the story was when I read it in a strait up novel version. It was the fist initial arc where Luffy meets Zoro. No pictures. Just words. My mom had bought it for me, not knowing what it was, trying to get me to read more. (I beleive I was in kindergarten, or the first grade at the time.) I'm not sure why I enjoyed that version better than the original. I'll almost always take a graphic novel over a regular novel. In that way, One Peice (despite boring me) has really given me a unique experience.
I dont want EDP445’s student in the One Piece fandom
The idea of luffy attacking zoro when he wakes up seems liek a problem. drama due to misunderstanding can be so cliche and is usually done in a way that feels contrived rather than believable. luffy has reasons to trust zoro AND the people who fed him, but reaching a conclusion and ignoring words to attack a friend totally feels like the writer either 1) reaching for a way to make something happen or 2) specifically making an excuse to make two main characters fight, just to scratch the itch of an audience who wants to see A vs. B but usually can't because they're teammates.
personality quirks aside, making people act totally unbelievable like that just feels cheesy and i lose interest.
To me, the biggest difference on your perception of the one piece is if you read or watch it.
I think reading it is, for the most part, a much better experience. After reading it, there’s tonnes of amazing scenes in the anime where it surpasses the manga (as you might imagine), but it’s far easier to get in to in the first place if you just read it.
I can near read an entire volume in the span of just over an episode, and later on when the pacing gets bad, an episode is literally less than a manga chapter at times; just for context.
If you are trying to binge the anime you also end up rewathing the previous episode or having to skip past it literally every time.
@@calvinwilson3617 I’ve never got that complaint, In bleach and Naruto you literally need a guide because how bad the filler is.
i watch one piece anime at 1.25 or 1.5x speed now
Excited you like the series and Luffy especially. Always remember Plot>Powerscaling in this series..
(Oda himself confirmed it multiple times 👍)
Can't wait to see read into further arcs💯
Good power scaling and power ups is just a part of a good Plot. So yea, that's why One Piece, Naruto and HunterxHunter>Dragon ball. I'm sorry to all DB fans, but you can read Naruto/One Piece/HunterxHunter at any age and find it interesting good story. I didn't read/watch Dragon Ball as a kid, then I try to read it/watch original DB and DBZ when I was 17-18. It was boring and pretty stupid story without good plot. The only thing I didn't drop was DBZ abridged. It was funny,it wasn't boring and Frieza didn't fight Goku for 3 hours.
You’ll never want to put One Piece down once you get to Water 7.

Seth:" Ive read a decent chunk like abt 220 chapters
one piece: "1100 chapters"
I started trying to catch up for a year now. I'm now on episode 600 and I must say it is worth every second. There is such few filler that i've actually just watched all of it. After kinda learning about gear 5, I'm really motivated to catch up for no spoilers. But I'm also taking my time because I know how many ppl are jealous that this is my first time watching everything. If you like anime and haven't at least tried to start OP.....WHAT R U DOING!!!
One of the best video to show to a friend whom you want to watch OP 🤜🏻🤛🏻
