The bounties make more sense, if you think of what the marines actually saw during Ennies lobby, they don't really have a way to tell which starwhat beat which CP9 member except for Luffy, so they only have how well they fought on the bridge to use as a bounty factor, so for example. Nami was in the back protecting their escape ship and Chopper was unable to move, so that kinda explains their lower bounties.
100%, and Sanji was missing for a good portion of the fight on the bridge since he went to close the gates of justice. Also, Zoro was taking point on the bridge and basically going on a rampage through their elite marines while Nami and Robin stayed in the back to defend the ship against whoever made it past Zoro and the others. And they only saw the version of Franky that had already used up a good amount of his cola fighting Fukuro.
Robin's bounty is basically artificially reduced because if it's too high, powerful pirates might start asking questions and find it interesting to ally with her. By keeping it high enough to terrify 99% of the general public, but low enough to not draw attention from people like the Emperors of the Sea, Robin was meant to be stuck in as unappealing of a position as humanly possible for others to be around. That's how valuable her knowledge is - the World Government literally has to pretend she's less valuable than she is.
Ooooohhhh...true. Legit didn't think of it that way. Her threat should be waaay above even Luffy's bounty considering she could well be the only person in the world who can accurately decipher the poneglyphs.
A bounty for a pirate captain usually includes the threat of their subordinates as well, with only notable crew getting their individual bounties. The Straw Hats all getting one, even Chopper, means that the World Government isn't prepared to let any of them fly under the radar.
Don't forget running with trays of fancy drinks and deserts back and forth between the kitchen and wherever Nami and Robin happen to be at the time. The REAL secret to keeping those legs in "diable jambe"-worthy shape, lol.
To be clear, Zoro is not the first mate (except in the Live Action version). He's considered Luffy's right hand man in an unofficial sense, but his crew title is "swordsmaster". The Strawhats just don't have an official first mate, or any formal hierarchy other than Luffy being the captain Oda mentions this explicitly in the SBS question corner in volume 102
I mean, arguably if there _was_ a first mate, it would be Usopp, since he said he would take up the the role of the captain if Luffy didn't do a good job, and Luffy was like okay sure lmao (I know that's a gag, don't take it too seriously, guys) More seriously speaking, all the Straw Hats are perfectly capable of taking the lead in Luffy's absence, or even when Luffy's literally right there. One of their strong points as a crew is that they function well even without formal leadership, as long as everybody's on the same page as to what their primary goals are. Luffy's job really is just to make the big decisions, otherwise the others can take over. Like for example, Luffy will decide where they go but Nami's usually in charge of actually getting them there
No no what you meant is the Zoro is the First Mate but NOT the Vice-Captain. They're two different roles. He is the first mate because the title in itself just means what it says: the first mate to join. Full stop. The Vice Captain is the official role the people are fighting about and it's the role Oda said is not existent on Luffy's ship, because there isn't a hierarchy
Sorry, but this is a situation where we have to invoke Death of the Author. Exterior to the work, Oda can say Zoro isn't first mate all he likes, but if he wanted that to be the case, he shouldn't written the work, particularly in Water Seven and Post-Enies-Lobby, in such a way as to make claiming Zoro isn't first mate look utterly delusional. I think realizing he wrote himself into that corner is probably WHY he decided to let the live action make it official.
@@concettasorvillo3719 Please just look up the term, if you can point me to a dictionary that says that that's what "first mate" means then I'll give you a point. (And no, pointing to the words "first" and "mate" separately doesn't count, I was using pre-established nautical terminology)
@syystomu I worked on ships. I know what a first mate or a vice-Captain is. Zoro doesn't have vice captain mansions (even if he and Nami share some of them) but he IS what the common marine knowledge on first mate Is. I don't know how why people are so obsessed with it, nobody is saying that he is kinda of special or what for it. It's just what it is.
Pretty sure your face at 9:53 was the entire community's reaction upon seeing Sanji's bounty for the first time. Also next Arc has a community in-joke, don't think too hard about it.
Your thoughts about Tom being locked up forever made me chuckle. Reminded me of the fact that in the 4Kids dub of One Piece Bellmere Nami's mother gets locked up in prison by Arlong instead of killed because of censoring, then she just never gets saved haha.
not sure if you already know this but the english dub has a version of We Are and it's actually pretty good. would recommend listening to it if you haven't already 7:49 also very impressed that you remembered jinbei. that kind of astuteness will be rewarded greatly
English We Are is iconic and I hate that Japanese music companies are such buttholes about licensing that they had to stop dubbing the songs before we could get any of the Straw Hat Crew versions. (To say nothing of some of the really good later OPs like Kokoro no Chizu, Crazy Rainbow Star, and Hope... *sigh*, at least we got Bon Voyage.)
reasons for specific bounties: for chopper its because no one could recognize him in his monster form, and when everyone was fighting the marines on the bridge, shopper didnt do anything so the maries thought he some sort of mascot. Remember the marines are not smart . Some of the bounties in the series have play on words that are better understood in japanese , and thats the only reason for their bounty. Oda is just having fun
The word Hentai is used for both "perverted", "wierd" and "transformation". You will see that One Piece use the word in different word plays regarding Franky
A pity the subs always translate it as pervert when it's not about Franky's transformation, like they always translate nakama as friend. Like it's pretty obvious in context that at times Sanji is calling Franky a weirdo and not a pervert lol
@@bluelight17 They're not too bad with the hentai (pervert) / hentai (transformation) pun by itself really. What gets really bad is later on when there's a hentai (pervert) / taihen (horrible) pun and they try to use unrelated English words that makes no sense (as a joke or otherwise).
Regarding Robin's bounty, it's probably because the World Government doesn't want a target on Nico Robin, if they increase the bounty too much, there's a greater chance that big pirates will go after her, and consequently they can find out more information about the Poneglyphs, so it's It is more interesting for the Government that Robin stays out of the spotlight, as far as possible
I remember seeing a theory that the reason Choppeer's bounty is so low is because a high amount would encourage people to turn in their pets, jamming up the bounty system.
I don’t agree at all. He isn’t given a death scene, he’s taken away to Impel Down and then kind of just presumed dead. Pell took the full brunt of a nuke and got a full death scene including the symbolism of his statue breaking, he gave his parting words etc.

With this does it not make sense that pell would survive a nuke to explain the resilience of Zoan users and further backup a later reveal? It makes complete sense to me.
@ None of what you said is really relevant to my point. I’m not really interested in the feasibility of his survival, I’m talking from a writing perspective. Oda has already explained why it happened, but my issue isn’t to do with the in world explanation. You’ll notice I referred to it as a death scene. My point is that the scene was clearly constructed to be his death, for all the reasons I listed. He very clearly says his final words, we get the flashback to flesh out his relationship with Vivi and the significance of his role as Alabasta’s guardian deity; we get the symbolism of his guardian statue shattering etc. I’m really not interested in the in-world explanation of how he survived. It is just cheap writing. It is designed to illicit the emotions of an ultimate sacrifice without committing to the sacrifice. Everyone who witnessed it knew exactly what he was doing and Pell himself very obviously did not believe he would survive. It is bad writing for him to be alive, whether or not it can be explained in-world. The episode where he “dies” is the episode that fully sold me on One Piece too so it sucks that the moment was diminished like that. Pell is such a cool character, but he served no further purpose in the story; Oda should have just committed. Demonstrate to us that there are real stakes to these conflicts.
@@EstebanBrenesVat the end of the day all those explanations are really just a retcon. At the time of his “death” there was no such thing as haki, awakened devil fruits, and the durability of zoans hadn’t been fully explained. But even if we did have all these aspects in the story it wouldn’t change the fact that it was written as a death scene. Everything about the way it played out was telling the audience “he is sacrificing himself and will die from the explosion”. We even get the scene with Chaka at Pell’s grave. It wasn’t open ended like Tom. That’s why people get so upset. There was no need to push his death that hard only for it to be a fake out. Let alone for such an insignificant character.
The Lion Head for the new ship is foreshadowed early in episode 35, Bellemere had made a homemade new shirt of Nojiko's old clothes with specifically a "lion sunflower head" that look's way to much like Sunny to be a coincidence. Then Nami ran off because they were poor and she had to get hand-me-downs. Then you know what happens. Nha, but seriously, I forgot about that when watching some other TH-camrs. So fun :X
I like Nerdy’s reacts cuz he has a knack for half baking OP things that happens eventually, like you were sorta there but not quite the way you thought
Considering where we are today with Franky's VO, these early episodes hit different. "I wonder why a lion?" Completely missed the fact that it's the King of the Beast for the man who wants to be King of the Pirates. Franky joining next to Nico Robin, are the best crew joining sequences in the series.
Chopper and Sanji went full "surprised Pikachu emoji" face on their bounties, which is funny since Pikachu's voice actress, Ikue Otani, voices both Chopper and child Sanji 😁❤
Belle-Mere, Kokoro, Dr. Kureha, a certain one back in East Blue Nerdy won't know about for a while yet... "moms that aren't actually moms but are nonetheless totally moms" are always among the best supporting characters in this story.
A lot of the time, these bounty values are just Oda having fun with number puns, lmao. Not saying this is the case for these bounties, but it is the case for many others we'll see down the line
This is why you gotta pay attention to the details. Tom wasn’t sentenced to imprisonment. He was sentenced to execution. He’s dead. It’s not a red herring. It just is what it is.
The way you feel about the Franky family now is the perfect example of how well Oda can make you hate a character or faction only to flip it on its head and make you love them instead. The character writing is one of the greatest strengths of the series as well as the length which gives Oda the time he needs to write these believable changes. By the time you catch up you’ll agree with the majority of the fan base 1128 chapters and 1122 episodes is not enough.
I'll always think that Robin should have at least the second highest bounty. Some say she doesn't because the government doesn't want to attract attention to her, but that ship sailed the moment they put such a high bounty on a 8 years old.
@tranatkikomi6873 bounties are also based on how potentially dangerous a person can be. They put an 80 million bounty on a 8 year old, and the moment she appears again as an adult chaos happen on Navy territory. She is way more of a danger now than she were as a lonely child.
i believe the actual berries to dollars ratio is 6 dollars for every 1 berry stated by oda soo chopper is essentially 300 bucks. that photographer is named jimmy scoops and he is the strawhats personal bounty photographer
I believe that Robin's bounty is based on her ability to read the Poneglyphs. Since she has been a scholar since the age of eight and continues to be one as an adult, her threat does not come from her combat abilities. Therefore, it makes sense that her bounty hasn't increased significantly. During the Enies Lobby incident, she was mostly in the position of a captive. On the other hand, Zoro defeating Kaku, one of CP9's main fighters, justifies him receiving a high bounty.
it's very common to have people say that Robin should be the one with the highest bounty or at least second highest and i agree, she is the one more threateaning to the world government
Biiiiig thing about bounties you have to understand is that Oda LOVES making puns. Sometimes bounties are also related to numbers that are importantly to characters, such as birth dates.
Part of the problem with Sanji is that he does a lot of stuff secretly/behind the scenes. They can't get a real picture of him because he's not actually present a lot of the time. The world government probably doesn't know a whole lot about him
"I need to sleep so I can eat" Dude this is way too real and scary because it usually means my blood sugar is low and I should be eating before sleeping or I'll spiral since I'm not hungry when I wake up. I wish I could eat and sleep like Luffy.
Don't worry. The show isn't just going to do whatever. It is naturally building upon itself and get better and better. Well, the pacing is gonna slow down but they are remaking and remixing a lot and you could look into that.
Thriller Bark? Oh, nothing happens there. I'm not surprised that Zoro's bounty is so much lower than low fees. It's not often that any of the crew actually gets a bounty, it's usually just the captain. Is there already had a bounty so it was going to go up but it was not going to be close to his Captain's bounty. I was surprised that Robin's bounty only went up 1 million, because as you pointed out, she is a bigger threat to the government.
The bounties represent the perceived threat they pose to the government and not their actual strength. Although the general consensus among fans is that they all deserve higher bounties. The government is just severely underestimating them. And a big part of it is also Oda’s love for puns. As the series goes on more and more bounties will be a joke or play on the characters name. Obviously they only make sense in Japanese so it gets lost in translation.
Lucci's reputation was leagues beyond anyone else in CP9. He was also significantly stronger than anyone else, the gap between him and the second (Kaku) being insanely high. It's also the only fight witnessed in detail by the marines. Being a captain already inflates your bounty compared to everyone else in the crew. For someone else in your crew to have a bounty comparable or greater than the captain's, their achievements would have to dwarf the captain's achievements by several orders of magnitude. So yes the combination of both those elements will make Luffy's bounty incomparable to anyone else's. And as other have said, Zoro is not the first mate. Robin's bounty is another issue as Ao Kiji seems to have pressured the staff into leaving it slow. There are other reasons which are that the WG is in a tricky position, they want people to try and catch Robin, but they can't attract too much attention to how important she is to them.
Real question about the Chopper catching speedo part... is it really that bad, do cyborgs have ball sweat? If yes, why did Franky institute that particular function?
14:52 we can have a more in-depth discussion about the new ship design later on, but I think at least the lion part was supposed to be a joke about them "moving up the food chain". Like, before their group was seen by the world as mere "sheep", but now they are a "lion".
They go over it a little in the future but it's not a huge spoiler (doesn't really affect the plot). But if you really want to go ahead (light spoilers ahead after the break). Bounties are determined by the threat they pose to ordinary citizens and the government. So it's not quite a 1:1 power system but how much they threaten the government. But really its to give a relative ranking between the pirates for us to know from Oda
Yeah I was already thinking about how delighted a certain someone will most likely be with the upcoming arc and then he goes and says that specifically. 😁
2 characters could be the same strength and be the same level of threat to the world government, the captain will always be the higher bounty. The only exception would be if the captain is MUUUUCH weaker
I have a crazy theory that Usopp might be Sogeking. I know it's crazy, but hear me out. Sogeking and Usopp are never seen together, and they both have a long nose. Plus, their choice of weapons are suspiciously similar. What do you guys think?
The bounties make more sense, if you think of what the marines actually saw during Ennies lobby, they don't really have a way to tell which starwhat beat which CP9 member except for Luffy, so they only have how well they fought on the bridge to use as a bounty factor, so for example. Nami was in the back protecting their escape ship and Chopper was unable to move, so that kinda explains their lower bounties.
Yeah if anything it's possible Zorro's bounty even went that high because of his duel with T-Bone , on top of invading Enies Lobby
Yeah, plus cp9 went on the run after this so their telling of the events is a complete mystery at this point in the story
100%, and Sanji was missing for a good portion of the fight on the bridge since he went to close the gates of justice. Also, Zoro was taking point on the bridge and basically going on a rampage through their elite marines while Nami and Robin stayed in the back to defend the ship against whoever made it past Zoro and the others.

Everything about the way it played out was telling the audience “he is sacrificing himself and will die from the explosion”. We even get the scene with Chaka at Pell’s grave. It wasn’t open ended like Tom. That’s why people get so upset. There was no need to push his death that hard only for it to be a fake out. Let alone for such an insignificant character.
The Lion Head for the new ship is foreshadowed early in episode 35, Bellemere had made a homemade new shirt of Nojiko's old clothes with specifically a "lion sunflower head" that look's way to much like Sunny to be a coincidence. Then Nami ran off because they were poor and she had to get hand-me-downs. Then you know what happens. Nha, but seriously, I forgot about that when watching some other TH-camrs. So fun :X
I like Nerdy’s reacts cuz he has a knack for half baking OP things that happens eventually, like you were sorta there but not quite the way you thought
The guy that takes the strawhats pictures is name Attach. Known as Flaming Attachan for his habit of yelling FIRE when he takes a picture.
Considering where we are today with Franky's VO, these early episodes hit different.
"I wonder why a lion?" Completely missed the fact that it's the King of the Beast for the man who wants to be King of the Pirates.
Franky joining next to Nico Robin, are the best crew joining sequences in the series.
We gotta get bro the proper English lyrics for We Are so he can practice being the new head singer for the openings.
Chopper and Sanji went full "surprised Pikachu emoji" face on their bounties, which is funny since Pikachu's voice actress, Ikue Otani, voices both Chopper and child Sanji 😁❤
Belle-Mere, Kokoro, Dr. Kureha, a certain one back in East Blue Nerdy won't know about for a while yet... "moms that aren't actually moms but are nonetheless totally moms" are always among the best supporting characters in this story.
A lot of the time, these bounty values are just Oda having fun with number puns, lmao. Not saying this is the case for these bounties, but it is the case for many others we'll see down the line
This is why you gotta pay attention to the details. Tom wasn’t sentenced to imprisonment. He was sentenced to execution. He’s dead. It’s not a red herring. It just is what it is.
i laughed so hard during the streaking run, funniest recruitment segment of One Piece in 1100 episode.
The way you feel about the Franky family now is the perfect example of how well Oda can make you hate a character or faction only to flip it on its head and make you love them instead. The character writing is one of the greatest strengths of the series as well as the length which gives Oda the time he needs to write these believable changes. By the time you catch up you’ll agree with the majority of the fan base 1128 chapters and 1122 episodes is not enough.
I'll always think that Robin should have at least the second highest bounty. Some say she doesn't because the government doesn't want to attract attention to her, but that ship sailed the moment they put such a high bounty on a 8 years old.
The bounties will be based on their actions in Enies Lobby, Robin was a prisoner through most of it while Zoro had been more proactive.
@tranatkikomi6873 bounties are also based on how potentially dangerous a person can be. They put an 80 million bounty on a 8 year old, and the moment she appears again as an adult chaos happen on Navy territory. She is way more of a danger now than she were as a lonely child.
Bounties often get set at certain numbers that are effectively puns in japanese, in a sound-alike or culturally relevant way. It's worth looking up!
i believe the actual berries to dollars ratio is 6 dollars for every 1 berry stated by oda soo chopper is essentially 300 bucks. that photographer is named jimmy scoops and he is the strawhats personal bounty photographer
It’s not true. It’s equivalent to yen
I believe that Robin's bounty is based on her ability to read the Poneglyphs. Since she has been a scholar since the age of eight and continues to be one as an adult, her threat does not come from her combat abilities. Therefore, it makes sense that her bounty hasn't increased significantly. During the Enies Lobby incident, she was mostly in the position of a captive. On the other hand, Zoro defeating Kaku, one of CP9's main fighters, justifies him receiving a high bounty.
it's very common to have people say that Robin should be the one with the highest bounty or at least second highest and i agree, she is the one more threateaning to the world government
Glad you stuck with it man..the next arcs won't let you down..only up from here🙌
I would more say the next arcs are a rollercoaster
Biiiiig thing about bounties you have to understand is that Oda LOVES making puns. Sometimes bounties are also related to numbers that are importantly to characters, such as birth dates.
sad to see that the child: "Ah Ding! D*ng!" part was cut-off. that shit was so freaking hilarious on my 1st watch through LOL
14:32 And so the lamb becomes a lion ❤
There is a marine official who is protecting chopper and is keeping his bounty low
Im very glad hes watching the ice hunter arc. I dont need a reaction to it but i need Nerdy to know it exists.
One Piece knows how storywriting works!
Sanji bounty picture was the best
Part of the problem with Sanji is that he does a lot of stuff secretly/behind the scenes. They can't get a real picture of him because he's not actually present a lot of the time. The world government probably doesn't know a whole lot about him
As Attach said though, he did almost get a good shot of him. Too bad he left the lens cap on…
Oh about Thriller Bark, Nothing happens, nothing happens in Thriller Bark
"I need to sleep so I can eat"
Dude this is way too real and scary because it usually means my blood sugar is low and I should be eating before sleeping or I'll spiral since I'm not hungry when I wake up.
I wish I could eat and sleep like Luffy.
I love Water 7 so much, and the next arc is very fun too
Funny enough, everything happening to Sanji is conected😂😂😂😂
I agree with you in Robin, I think her bounty is wayyy too low for how much the world government values her
24:56 Nothing happens in Thriller Bark!
Nerdy: "Do We Have To Fight Arlong Again???"
Me: nah, he was put in a cover story, he's not coming back in the story, unless he's in a flashback.
Don't worry. The show isn't just going to do whatever. It is naturally building upon itself and get better and better. Well, the pacing is gonna slow down but they are remaking and remixing a lot and you could look into that.
1:37 official new One Piece opening song in 2025
Just heads up the pacing for the next arc gets slower.
Ice berg says why it’s a lion, the king of the pirates should have the king of animals as a ship.
19:31 Chopppeerrrr!
i trust oda with the numbers tbh, arbitrary numbers usually means oda is cooking something with them
Thriller Bark? Oh, nothing happens there.
I'm not surprised that Zoro's bounty is so much lower than low fees. It's not often that any of the crew actually gets a bounty, it's usually just the captain. Is there already had a bounty so it was going to go up but it was not going to be close to his Captain's bounty.
I was surprised that Robin's bounty only went up 1 million, because as you pointed out, she is a bigger threat to the government.
You asked what haooens on Thriller Bark. Basically nothing happens there, you can just skip it.
Ice Hunter Arc has an interesting concept, but in general it only gave us a moment when Zoro meets with himself
The bounties represent the perceived threat they pose to the government and not their actual strength. Although the general consensus among fans is that they all deserve higher bounties. The government is just severely underestimating them.
And a big part of it is also Oda’s love for puns. As the series goes on more and more bounties will be a joke or play on the characters name. Obviously they only make sense in Japanese so it gets lost in translation.
Lucci's reputation was leagues beyond anyone else in CP9. He was also significantly stronger than anyone else, the gap between him and the second (Kaku) being insanely high. It's also the only fight witnessed in detail by the marines.
Being a captain already inflates your bounty compared to everyone else in the crew. For someone else in your crew to have a bounty comparable or greater than the captain's, their achievements would have to dwarf the captain's achievements by several orders of magnitude. So yes the combination of both those elements will make Luffy's bounty incomparable to anyone else's. And as other have said, Zoro is not the first mate.
Robin's bounty is another issue as Ao Kiji seems to have pressured the staff into leaving it slow. There are other reasons which are that the WG is in a tricky position, they want people to try and catch Robin, but they can't attract too much attention to how important she is to them.
18:11 for Nerddaily's review of the series
Real question about the Chopper catching speedo part... is it really that bad, do cyborgs have ball sweat? If yes, why did Franky institute that particular function?
What happened in Thriller Bark? That's easy, nothing happens
Yohohoho
Thriller Bark isn't Fishman Island.
14:52 we can have a more in-depth discussion about the new ship design later on, but I think at least the lion part was supposed to be a joke about them "moving up the food chain". Like, before their group was seen by the world as mere "sheep", but now they are a "lion".
They go over it a little in the future but it's not a huge spoiler (doesn't really affect the plot). But if you really want to go ahead (light spoilers ahead after the break).
Bounties are determined by the threat they pose to ordinary citizens and the government. So it's not quite a 1:1 power system but how much they threaten the government. But really its to give a relative ranking between the pirates for us to know from Oda
Kokoro deserves an amazing overweight actress in the Live Action
I bet they kept Robin's bounty low because they didn't want to draw more attention to her
Oh that zombie arc is gonna be so fun 😉 if there was any
Why would Usopp have a bounty? It was SogeKing who shot through the flag of the World Govt
Don't worry Nerdy, nothing happens in Thriller Bark
Finally!! A new video
24:58 Nothing
50 yen is like 30 cents right now
I hate that they don’t do all the openings
pretty sure nothing happens in thriller bark
I'm so "thrilled" to see what's next!!
Yohohoho!
Naah is going to be kind of a dead arc, nothing is going to happen soon
@@EstebanBrenesV yeah nothing happened..
Plenty of great arcs ahead, a couple arguably as good as these
Sanji's bounty ❤️
Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤ New Ship ❤
Spoiler not for nerdy!

"If we do a zombie arc this shit's going to be so fun." Can't wait for this
Yeah I was already thinking about how delighted a certain someone will most likely be with the upcoming arc and then he goes and says that specifically. 😁
@@lapanthanim why? Nothing happens in the next arc.
Impel down is peak buggy
the numbers of the bounty are, afaik, wordplay in japanese and hence seem totally arbitrary in any other language
Nothing happens in Thriller bark
WHY BE YOU WHEN YOU CAN BE ME
24:57 Nothing Happens
chimney saved luffy from drowning too. the whole show would of been over lol
2 characters could be the same strength and be the same level of threat to the world government, the captain will always be the higher bounty. The only exception would be if the captain is MUUUUCH weaker
Case in point: Buggy
If we do a zombi arc... 💀😂
I have a crazy theory that Usopp might be Sogeking. I know it's crazy, but hear me out. Sogeking and Usopp are never seen together, and they both have a long nose. Plus, their choice of weapons are suspiciously similar. What do you guys think?
Well too bad for you.. but NOTHING HAPPENS in the next arc😂
Btw, true, a zombie arc would be wild.
Your version of We Are dubbed is growing on me, but I still want to watch you react to OP1 Eng
