iirc "hige" in "shirohige" does not mean beard but just facial hair so i guess white facial hair or white mustache did not sound fancy enough besides the name blackbeard popped up before whitebeard and since there was a rl pirate named blackbeard i guess they just put them together at least that is my guess PS whitebeard rolls much better on the tongue than white facial hair or white mustache so maybe that had something to do with it
You're asking whether Whitebeard was the strongest man on earth? Let's see... It took all three great powers (Marine, Shichibukai and 1 future Yonko, Blackbeard) to take him down, in the process he completely destroyed the marine HQ, has beaten one admiral, several vice admirals, hundreds of marine soldiers and made Blackbeard whimper. After all that damage which would have killed a normal man 1000x times he passed away........ STANDING!!! So was he the strongest man on earth? Probably.
@@azurestar5551 I read somewhere that said he was more like at 30% of his power, he was too old and too injured to be doing battle, and yet with 30% he almost won the war alone. One of my 10 favourite characters in anime

One thing you alluded to, and I really appreciate, is that Luffy didn't get some out of nowhere power up upon Ace's death. I appreciate that so much, and it makes Luffy that much more approachable as a character. Also, what was cool about Whitebeard and Marineford was its handling of power creep. Not only did they do a great job of conveying the mights of the strongest characters, Oda cleverly kept many of their fights offscreen, or put necessary limits on them, like Whitebeard being sick and not going all out, since his priority was saving Ace.
Whitebeard reminded me of Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist. They both complain about their old age but are still so overwhelmingly powerful you're like, "If they're still this powerful now, how unstoppable were they in their _prime?_ " Even injured or sick, they're unstoppable. Fuck, Wrath nearly beat a fully healthy Scar with mortal wounds. He took down a goddamn tank and that was only with a sword.
Wow, for a minute there I though I was watching a real One Piece episode and even feared for your channel due to copyright reasons. Glad it was just a very accurate parody!

Perhaps a bit of a nitpick, however, infinity war technically did come out first, the comic series was published in 1992. The movie is simply an adaptation.
Glad you brought it up, but it was actually 1991. _Avengers: Infinity War_ (the film ) is based on the comic event (crossovers plus miniseries) _The Infinity Gauntlet._ Bits of it actually date to the two-issue _Thanos Quest_ miniseries that released in 1990. Not sure if anything from the sequel to _The Infinity Gauntlet_, the _*_comic event_*_ known as _The Infinity War_ made it into _Avengers: Infinity War._ ... All right, all right; while still annoying to me I will concede that I can see how someone who either has no or little interest in Marvel Comics would make such a mistake. Even with access to Google. ;)
Otaku I noticed that mistake after I commented, and yeah I admit that the mistake was kinda silly. The later films should be based on the other comics though no?
I liked ace but hated him in this arc. I don't blame him entirely for getting captured by blackbeard despite being told not to chase after him but what he did after getting freed by luffy was frustrating to watch. he wasted everyone's efforts and sacrifice in rescuing him by very easily getting triggered by an equivalent of someone saying "ur dad gay". all his allies and crew that were fighting, dying, died and/or captured for his sake, his beloved father figure that would exchange his own life in order to give them an opening to escape, his brother that endured the worst prison in the world and would face the marine admirals and shichibukai even on his own just to save him, all their efforts flushed down the toilet when he took that bait. I know he died because he save luffy but its still his fault they stopped running and confronted akainu just because he insulted whitebeard. akainu wasn't even chasing after them and but ace still came back to fight him because of that one insult. I wouldn't mind if he died for more sensible reasons but this was just stupid. the other thing that was frustrating(I know I've been repeating it a lot) was when blackbeard was attacking marineford but the three admirals were still chasing after the fleeing whitebeard pirates. ace is already dead and the whitebeard pirates don't want to fight anymore but the admirals still choose to chase after them instead of protecting the marine main base from being attacked by another enemy faction. priorities please!
Beep Been looking for a comment like this. I totally agree about Ace. His death had been spoiled early on for me, but seeing that it was because of a stupid taunt, which caused all the sacrifices Luffy and the others made to be in vain, was such a letdown
@@hylertull Yeah, but he died as he wanted to, as Jinbei said. It _was_ frustrating but you know how pride is in One Piece. I mean, Franky denying possession of his ships would be logical to any normal person but Tom punched the hell out of him for that and told him to have pride in his creations, even if they go on to destroy the world. Sanji giving food to Krieg was also logically stupid, but he did it out of principle. He simply can't let anyone go hungry if he can help it, even if it's the devil himself. Same with Chopper. He treated Z, a very dangerous man, because he's a doctor. It's just how he is.
I have a feeling that one of the Straw Hats will probably die by the end of the series. I wasn't as emotionally connected to the character struggles in Marineford, it was Dadan's reaction afterwards that made me wanna cry. Lmfao "Doflamingo's only reaction to everything is smiling."
@@BassyBoy I think it's possible Robin will be killed to prevent people from getting the ability to read them after she is kidnapped or something. With Sanji it could be something like how Zoro sacrificed himself in Thriller Bark. With Zoro I see it involving the battle against the Blackbeard Pirates or something like that. I also saw someone suggest Usopp.
Actually, I don't know if this article was true or not, but when it is looked up, supposedly Eiichiro Oda has confirmed that by the end of One Piece, one of the Straw Hats will in fact die.
Had Ace only brushed off what Akainu said about Whitebeard, everybody's sacrifice for him wouldn't be wasted. Oars Jr. got wrecked just to give WB pirates an opening, Luffy has been fighting since Impel down, lots of people died to reach the stand, and everything that happened went down the drain because he got selfish. He could've just taken what Akainu said and escaped. At least he could live another day, plan his revenge against Akainu and not WASTE EVERYBODY'S EFFORT.
Of everything stated in this, my favorite is what you said about Garp. Most of the time, I see people hating on Garp for "How can you not save your own family" It wasn't that simple of a decision for Garp, which is WHY he, as you stated, "Let Luffy Punch him". That's another thing most people don't seem to mention when referring Garp's decision, is that he LET Luffy punch him.
Garp was stuck between a rock and a hard place in the most sadistic way possible and he really didn't have many options. And it explains so much. It's why he was so tough on his grandsons, why he always pushed Ace and Luffy to become marines, etc.
Garp was a marine to his bones. He was training ace and Luffy to be strong marines. That's all he'd be talking about with Luffy and ace. It'd be safe to say that the marines aren't just a career choice for him. It's like his 2nd family one might say. Despite hating the celestial dragons, he genuinely believes that the marines do more good in the world.
Man, I can’t imagine how Luffy must have felt when Ace died to save Luffy. However, I’m sure if GLR ever stopped making videos I’d get pretty damn close.
Even though this is such a small channel this is the only channel I go to for my daily one piece needs such mastery of editing and speech keep it up man I would Patereon you but I'm broke luv u man keep it man btw Luffy is the greatest shone character of all time
MAD Master001 didn't Ace already get a spin off manga? Telling the story about his search for BlackBeard. I would much rather want one about Trafalgar law about his life after Corazon's death 😭 and how he met his crew.
kadir yildirim Trafalgar Law is a great choice; always want to see more of his pirate crew dynamic. It would be cool to see him form his crew and everything else up until he first meets Luffy. But also want to see Ace get more of a journey and character development between him leaving his home and him joining Whitebeard.
MAD Master001 Ace looked like the only with personality and the only powerhouse of his crew, it would be interesting to see who Ace's crew was. This is the main problem with most supernova to imo. They all look like strong and interesting captains with a nobody crew. I hope Oda will flesh them out more. Like most of the One piece world after he's done with the main series. Maybe one about Garp fighting ROCKS or Gold Roger's journey to Raftal(not entirely ofcourse).
I love how even at this point Blackbeard is set up to be awesomely strong and thinks he can go toe to toe with Whitebeard. One of my favorite scenes is Whitebeard beating the ever loving shit out of Blackbeard, even though BB is one of my favorite characters
One of my favorite arcs for sure. I mean we had amazing fights, sad deaths and Oda even gave Mr.3 some great times! I just can't get over this one, Oda did such a great job on this arc
I've watched a few of your videos just reminiscing of how far we have come. That fucking ending though gave you the faster sub button clicked on the history of the earth! Had me more dead then brooke
I almost choked on some rice on your take of Toei's unnecessary reactions! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 To this day, though I prefer the manga, I STILL watch the anime weekly. And the 5 second reaction moments KILL the pacing of the arcs.
I’ve been binging your content for about a week now and I got say it’s all been good but this is your best video or at least the funniest one I’ve seen so far
I will disagree that it is a dangerous thing to label any character "The strongest there is". I think it is a good thing, and I will borrow the arguments from someone who made a review of My Hero Academia. In both MHA and One Piece, we have a character dubbed "The Strongest". The reason this should be considered a good thing, is because we now have a ceiling of power. It grounds the level of power scaling in this world, avoiding a Dragon Ball scenario where they just keep getting stronger and stronger into absurdity. Showing us the power of the person who is the Strongest in the World tells us that, yes, there is a limit to how strong you can get. But it's also a glimpse into the future, because it shows how powerful the protagonist is expected to get, without us ending in a situation like in DBZ again, where the Protagonist just ups the ante one more time. Yes, it can feel dissatisfying if the character in question is killed off unceremoniously, but if you avoid that particular trap, having someone who serves as the "Power Roof" can be of great benefit to the story.
Kapuchu I agree for the most part, except using DBZ as an example. After all, DBZ did the same thing with "the strongest" multiple times. The first two that I can think of are Demon King Piccolo, and later Vegeta both of whom were considered to be the strongest people ever at that point in the story. Then later in the Namek Saga, Frieza was declared by pretty much every character in the series up to that point to be the singular strongest being in the entire Universe. And yes, I know that the power scaling continued to climb up to even more absurd levels after that, but that's besides the point. Just because a character is declared the strongest, doesn't mean that someone significantly stronger can't show up later. I'm not saying the same will happen with One Piece, in fact I would say that's next to impossible, mostly because Oda has a long term plan for his series, whereas Toriyama was pressured onto continuing the series past the point he would've chosen to end his story on multiple occasions. I'm just saying that "The World's Strongest" trope doesn't necessarily mean that you won't end up with nonsensically overpowered characters later on in the series, it simply puts a roof on what you can expect to be the characters limits for the near future in the series. It could easily turn into a narrative garbage fire if the writer doesn't handle it properly.
I think you're misunderstanding my point a little. I know that several of DBZ's villains were dubbed "The Strongest Ever" several times, and yet they were always one-upped. When I say that it's a good thing to have a character who is The Strongest, I mean it in the sense of "This guy is THE strongest, and he will never be eclipsed in the entirety of the story", which is opposite of what Dragon Ball did. Doing it this way provides a power ceiling, and a capped point of growth. It gives the readers a bit of hype, making them want to see the protagonist get that strong, but while also instilling the knowledge that there is a limit to how strong a character can get.
Kapuchu It really doesn't create a permanent power ceiling though. Like you said, there were multiple times the "strongest ever" characters were one upped in DBZ, but there was never any indication at the time that they would be. When King Piccolo, Vegeta, and Frieza were introduced and eventually defeated, it always seemed as though we had hit the limit of what the characters in that series were capable of, as though no one could ever be stronger. It's the same as what Oda did with White Beard, except that Akira Toriyama was pressured into continuing the series after point where he would've preferred to stop, and thus had to keep one upping his previous strongest villains. If he hadn't done that, Dragon Ball would've ended at Frieza, or possibly even sooner. If Oda chose to, he could do the same exact thing with One Piece, introduce a new character who's power dwarfs White Beards whose existence was never known to the rest of the world for some reason. I didn't misunderstand your point, and I wasn't trying to argue with you, I was just saying that the "worlds strongest man" trope doesn't necessarily mean that you've seen the limit of what characters in that series will be capable of in the long run, as well as the fact that it can backfire when used by a writer who doesn't have a good long term plan for their series.
This is amazing. 2 people on the internet debating with each other in a respectful manner. Taking into account both arguments and agreeing on certain points. Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached peak internet.

I watched only the anime up until dressrosa in one shot, and I didn't have any pacing problem in marineford. I see one peace not only as a shonen, but as a very very wide universe, and seeing most of this universe collapse in marineford was one of the best experience I had in any anime, witch makes marineford the best arc in one peace by far in my opinion.
*post watching video comment So I normally don't leave gigantic comments on your channel but I feel like some conversation is worth it here. 1. This is the pinnacle of what anime and manga can be in my opinion. 2. Despite whitebeard dying roughly 8 years ago in the manga he is still my favorite character ever. Like ever ever. Like in all of everything everything. He is the perfect representation of everything I think is cool in a character. 3. I find it very interesting how you say most people didn't enjoy the slowing down of the war in the anime, for I feel the exact opposite. I enjoyed the anime a lot more than the manga because I was not caught up to the manga weekly until the next arc. So when I read the manga it felt very much like oda was rushing through everything. Some moments felt trifled on because of what happened in the previous chapter and I just was a much bigger fan of the anime taking it's time and allowing the arc a little breathing room. But I grew up with dragonball z so I guess I'm almost used to that. I will say, post time skip the anime has officially become unwatchable for me though. I stopped watching the anime around halfway through Fishman and just kept up with the manga at that point.
Ha ha! This was great! Oh, you may have just caused me to rethink my order for the best arcs of the series. I was likely hung-up & exhausted with the whole "great manga wars" period of the time, as Bleach had the Arrancar War & Naruto had the 4th Great Ninja War all around the same time, and all of them never really reached that perfect level of mayhem & strategy that I associate with the concept. I always envision something with the description of "war" to take place over multiple days & over a broad area, and my reservation at calling this arc a "war" is because we only really see the climactic battle at Marineford. Yes, perhaps the conflict is the largest yet seen in the anime, but it didn't quite feel that way. . . somehow. For example, Alubarna seems approximate in size to Marineford, & Crocodile had a bomb placed to blow it up (darn you Pel Effect). Eneru was going to sink an entire island. Even Enies Lobby suffered a multiple-wave invasion & eventual desolation under the Buster Call. All of those appeared to suffer a cataclysm on par with Whitebeard at Marineford, & the melee in the encircling wall wasn't quite the spectacle that the Strawhat/Galley-la/Franky Family Alliance's drive to the courthouse had. But that's just how I feel. I caught up with the anime immediately after Enies Lobby & picked up the manga in the middle of Thriller Bark, & as such I'll always have a soft spot for the eternal daylight isle. Certainly, Whitebeard delivered on everything he was promised to be & he remains one of my favorite anime characters PERIOD. The change in the power structure post-war was monumental & influential. And you're right, I too was one of those readers who believed Ace wouldn't die because of the Pel Effect & because Marco is the LITERAL EMBODIMENT OF THE REVIVING FLAME. . . . I thought it was so obvious. . . And it would have been the most clever & foreshadowed implementation of the Pel Effect, too!
I recently rewatched this arc and was able to better appreciate how badass Crocodile is. He took on big names like Whitbeard, Doffy, Mihawk and Akainu without hesitation. I think his power level is tough to measure since he lost to Luffy early on in the series. But the fact is he could've killed Luffy in a minute if he had taken things seriously.
"Ace simply can't handle aaall theeese feeels!" "Vista can only think about flowers!" "Akainu has a lava-stick up his arse!" "Do you think Sengoku even *wears* underpants?"
I believe the brilliance(a term I do not use lightly) of Marineford isn't just that it is a huge spectacle event with enormous stakes, but how Oda managed to tie almost every singe character into this conflict with his or her own motivations for fighting. Take Crocodile for example. His motivation for getting to Marineford was to kill WhiteBeard. When that was not an option, he chose to fight not out of loyalty, but because he hated the World Government and didn't want them to win by killing Ace. It is stuff like this that make me appreciate the arc. Even if the ending dragged a bit. And why this is my second favorite arc in OP.
Ok, Marineford Arc is almost a decade ago (wow, incredible to say it out loud), so I probably forgot many details, but why exactly is a one day battle called a "war"? It always bugged me.
War (to simplify it) - The clash of 2 or more factions/groups in a combatical manor, in which weaponry, death, and bloodshed are all key factors. Basically, Marineford is a Paramount War because its the clashing of multiple factions and groups, such as the World Govt. And the Whitebeard Pirates, in an all out battle where many people die and heaps of blood is shed. THATs a WAR, no matter how long it goes for.
@@thepredman9lol266 The intention in my question was why it's called 'war' rather than 'battle'. maybe I should have made myself clear. I do know the definition of war, but thank you very much for reminding. War is a large scale event comprising a number of battles, and involving one or more nations or fractions. A battle on the other hand is a rather small scale combat, which is usually localized. The Battles of Marathon, Waterloo or Monte Cassino are considered battles within a war between multiple fractions, which had consequences for the overall war. What bugs me is how one single battle that introduces & concludes a conflict between two fractions, is considered a war rather than a battle.
hmm i kinda disagree on the reactions part, i think seeing how other characters react to events is interesting and adds to the detail put into every episode
It is, but they could afford to not spend massive amounts of seconds on each individual character. But then again that would defeat the purpose of using it as filler.
You said this in the previous arc reviews that the Straw Hats were not Big players in the world, but that never really hit me until this arc. Luffy is of minor importance in the grand scheme of things, he helped, but this was Whitebeard's arc. I probably could not count on two hands the number of people there who could defeat Luffy.
Whitebeard the man who made the world call his mustache a beard
iirc "hige" in "shirohige" does not mean beard but just facial hair so i guess white facial hair or white mustache did not sound fancy enough besides the name blackbeard popped up before whitebeard and since there was a rl pirate named blackbeard i guess they just put them together at least that is my guess

"hige" means facial hair, so white facial hair/ black facial hair doesn't really sound as good haha
I just pissed myself thanks to the character reactions

@@hylertull Yeah, but he died as he wanted to, as Jinbei said. It _was_ frustrating but you know how pride is in One Piece. I mean, Franky denying possession of his ships would be logical to any normal person but Tom punched the hell out of him for that and told him to have pride in his creations, even if they go on to destroy the world. Sanji giving food to Krieg was also logically stupid, but he did it out of principle. He simply can't let anyone go hungry if he can help it, even if it's the devil himself. Same with Chopper. He treated Z, a very dangerous man, because he's a doctor. It's just how he is.
It was a McFly moment.
I have a feeling that one of the Straw Hats will probably die by the end of the series.
I wasn't as emotionally connected to the character struggles in Marineford, it was Dadan's reaction afterwards that made me wanna cry.
Lmfao "Doflamingo's only reaction to everything is smiling."
Ir you could take a guess at who would die, who would it be? For me, either Sanji or Robin. Dunno.
@@BassyBoy
I think it's Zoro honestly. However, I can see situations for Robin and Sanji.
@@Paddy-if3nd would it be vs Mihawk or something? Robin could be since she is one of the few who understands the poneglyphs.
@@BassyBoy
I think it's possible Robin will be killed to prevent people from getting the ability to read them after she is kidnapped or something. With Sanji it could be something like how Zoro sacrificed himself in Thriller Bark. With Zoro I see it involving the battle against the Blackbeard Pirates or something like that. I also saw someone suggest Usopp.
Actually, I don't know if this article was true or not, but when it is looked up, supposedly Eiichiro Oda has confirmed that by the end of One Piece, one of the Straw Hats will in fact die.
Had Ace only brushed off what Akainu said about Whitebeard, everybody's sacrifice for him wouldn't be wasted. Oars Jr. got wrecked just to give WB pirates an opening, Luffy has been fighting since Impel down, lots of people died to reach the stand, and everything that happened went down the drain because he got selfish. He could've just taken what Akainu said and escaped. At least he could live another day, plan his revenge against Akainu and not WASTE EVERYBODY'S EFFORT.
My thoughts exactly ivan, ace should've just left marineford with luffy and train for 2 years to become stronger and avenge whitebeard.
Completely agree
Roger has never ran from his enemies and so has Ace
I don’t think it was wasted effort. Shook the entire OP world into a new era
My man pulled a vegeta, shame
Of everything stated in this, my favorite is what you said about Garp.
Most of the time, I see people hating on Garp for "How can you not save your own family"
It wasn't that simple of a decision for Garp, which is WHY he, as you stated, "Let Luffy Punch him". That's another thing most people don't seem to mention when referring Garp's decision, is that he LET Luffy punch him.
Garp was stuck between a rock and a hard place in the most sadistic way possible and he really didn't have many options. And it explains so much. It's why he was so tough on his grandsons, why he always pushed Ace and Luffy to become marines, etc.
Garp was a marine to his bones. He was training ace and Luffy to be strong marines. That's all he'd be talking about with Luffy and ace. It'd be safe to say that the marines aren't just a career choice for him. It's like his 2nd family one might say. Despite hating the celestial dragons, he genuinely believes that the marines do more good in the world.
'Pell effect': I found that part hilarious!
My favorite was Crocodile coming back. You would think he's powercrept and useless, but he took on Doflamingo, Mihawk, and Akainu and held his own.
Oda Eichiro: this ark it's full of action, drama, feelings and hype.
TOEI animation: it should be "the world rotates arround luffy"
Except the anime didnt do that.
Your channel is pretty well done
Man, I can’t imagine how Luffy must have felt when Ace died to save Luffy. However, I’m sure if GLR ever stopped making videos I’d get pretty damn close.
Even though this is such a small channel this is the only channel I go to for my daily one piece needs such mastery of editing and speech keep it up man I would Patereon you but I'm broke luv u man keep it man btw Luffy is the greatest shone character of all time
I think we need a "Top 10 characters that need their own spin-off series vol. 1"
MAD Master001 I will place my vote right off the bat for Pandaman.
I was thinking that it be cool if Ace had his own mini-series from starting his adventure to joining the Whitebeard pirates.
MAD Master001 didn't Ace already get a spin off manga? Telling the story about his search for BlackBeard. I would much rather want one about Trafalgar law about his life after Corazon's death 😭 and how he met his crew.
kadir yildirim Trafalgar Law is a great choice; always want to see more of his pirate crew dynamic. It would be cool to see him form his crew and everything else up until he first meets Luffy.
But also want to see Ace get more of a journey and character development between him leaving his home and him joining Whitebeard.
MAD Master001 Ace looked like the only with personality and the only powerhouse of his crew, it would be interesting to see who Ace's crew was. This is the main problem with most supernova to imo. They all look like strong and interesting captains with a nobody crew. I hope Oda will flesh them out more.
Like most of the One piece world after he's done with the main series. Maybe one about Garp fighting ROCKS or Gold Roger's journey to Raftal(not entirely ofcourse).
White Beard is the super strong and scary Michael Scott. All they wanted was a family.
And big mom actually used the Michael Scott technique
It's actually been a while since I've read through this arc, I should probably go through it again soon.
Awesomely hilarious ending to the vid
Your segment with everyone’s inner thoughts is comedy gold; keep up the excellent work!!
I love these videos!!! I love your channel as well!!! Please keep uploading One Piece videos!!!
i love that overlapping of edits about the reactions of the characters 😂😂😂
Characters reactions killed me thank you
I love how even at this point Blackbeard is set up to be awesomely strong and thinks he can go toe to toe with Whitebeard. One of my favorite scenes is Whitebeard beating the ever loving shit out of Blackbeard, even though BB is one of my favorite characters
One of my favorite arcs for sure. I mean we had amazing fights, sad deaths and Oda even gave Mr.3 some great times! I just can't get over this one, Oda did such a great job on this arc
honistly, i got no jokes to say but this was a really good vid, my favorite video by you so far
Thanks! :D
Wow we've come this far...
Keep up the good work, grandlinereview!
*inhales*
ONE PIECE...
DOES EXIST!!!
I've watched a few of your videos just reminiscing of how far we have come. That fucking ending though gave you the faster sub button clicked on the history of the earth! Had me more dead then brooke
I almost choked on some rice on your take of Toei's unnecessary reactions! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 To this day, though I prefer the manga, I STILL watch the anime weekly. And the 5 second reaction moments KILL the pacing of the arcs.
Lily Jasper "Akainu has a magma stick up his arse"
I've been counting down the weeks until I could hear your Marineford Arc review. Thanks Liam!
10:35 "Stelly! Yeah, that little shit."
Looking back on this, that reaction segment killed me
I actually love how they show everyones reaction to every little thing..
Funnily enough, the thoughts of every character was exactly what I liked about the arc
9:26 and on was amazing LMFAO
Best arc no doubt
I’ve been binging your content for about a week now and I got say it’s all been good but this is your best video or at least the funniest one I’ve seen so far
7:18 and that's why Blackbeard is just a bag of 59 snails in a trench coat. they can have as many as there are snails. it's the perfect plan.
I will disagree that it is a dangerous thing to label any character "The strongest there is". I think it is a good thing, and I will borrow the arguments from someone who made a review of My Hero Academia.
In both MHA and One Piece, we have a character dubbed "The Strongest". The reason this should be considered a good thing, is because we now have a ceiling of power. It grounds the level of power scaling in this world, avoiding a Dragon Ball scenario where they just keep getting stronger and stronger into absurdity. Showing us the power of the person who is the Strongest in the World tells us that, yes, there is a limit to how strong you can get. But it's also a glimpse into the future, because it shows how powerful the protagonist is expected to get, without us ending in a situation like in DBZ again, where the Protagonist just ups the ante one more time.
Yes, it can feel dissatisfying if the character in question is killed off unceremoniously, but if you avoid that particular trap, having someone who serves as the "Power Roof" can be of great benefit to the story.
Kapuchu I agree for the most part, except using DBZ as an example. After all, DBZ did the same thing with "the strongest" multiple times. The first two that I can think of are Demon King Piccolo, and later Vegeta both of whom were considered to be the strongest people ever at that point in the story. Then later in the Namek Saga, Frieza was declared by pretty much every character in the series up to that point to be the singular strongest being in the entire Universe. And yes, I know that the power scaling continued to climb up to even more absurd levels after that, but that's besides the point. Just because a character is declared the strongest, doesn't mean that someone significantly stronger can't show up later. I'm not saying the same will happen with One Piece, in fact I would say that's next to impossible, mostly because Oda has a long term plan for his series, whereas Toriyama was pressured onto continuing the series past the point he would've chosen to end his story on multiple occasions. I'm just saying that "The World's Strongest" trope doesn't necessarily mean that you won't end up with nonsensically overpowered characters later on in the series, it simply puts a roof on what you can expect to be the characters limits for the near future in the series. It could easily turn into a narrative garbage fire if the writer doesn't handle it properly.
I think you're misunderstanding my point a little. I know that several of DBZ's villains were dubbed "The Strongest Ever" several times, and yet they were always one-upped. When I say that it's a good thing to have a character who is The Strongest, I mean it in the sense of "This guy is THE strongest, and he will never be eclipsed in the entirety of the story", which is opposite of what Dragon Ball did. Doing it this way provides a power ceiling, and a capped point of growth. It gives the readers a bit of hype, making them want to see the protagonist get that strong, but while also instilling the knowledge that there is a limit to how strong a character can get.
Kapuchu It really doesn't create a permanent power ceiling though. Like you said, there were multiple times the "strongest ever" characters were one upped in DBZ, but there was never any indication at the time that they would be. When King Piccolo, Vegeta, and Frieza were introduced and eventually defeated, it always seemed as though we had hit the limit of what the characters in that series were capable of, as though no one could ever be stronger. It's the same as what Oda did with White Beard, except that Akira Toriyama was pressured into continuing the series after point where he would've preferred to stop, and thus had to keep one upping his previous strongest villains. If he hadn't done that, Dragon Ball would've ended at Frieza, or possibly even sooner. If Oda chose to, he could do the same exact thing with One Piece, introduce a new character who's power dwarfs White Beards whose existence was never known to the rest of the world for some reason. I didn't misunderstand your point, and I wasn't trying to argue with you, I was just saying that the "worlds strongest man" trope doesn't necessarily mean that you've seen the limit of what characters in that series will be capable of in the long run, as well as the fact that it can backfire when used by a writer who doesn't have a good long term plan for their series.
@@1Kapuchu100 I completely agree with you
This is amazing. 2 people on the internet debating with each other in a respectful manner. Taking into account both arguments and agreeing on certain points.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached peak internet.
The reactions segment earned you a new subscriber, oh my god that was hilarious.
10:36 couldn't stop laughing
I think the toei filler explanation has been the best thing I’ve ever seen on any anime channel in my entire life.
You're asking whether Whitebeard was the strongest man on earth? Let's see... It took all three great powers (Marine, Shichibukai and 1 future Yonko, Blackbeard) to take him down, in the process he completely destroyed the marine HQ, has beaten one admiral, several vice admirals, hundreds of marine soldiers and made Blackbeard whimper. After all that damage which would have killed a normal man 1000x times he passed away........ STANDING!!!So was he the strongest man on earth? Probably.
“Doflamingo’s reaction to anything is SMILING!”
Hilarious
The interpretation of the characters reactions were spot on 😂
Im glad you mentioned the Pell affect because i havent been able to take a "death" seriously in one piece. Shame the actuall deaths got spoiled for me
Never realized how much better his mike quality and performance got. It’s nice to see growth.
I watched only the anime up until dressrosa in one shot, and I didn't have any pacing problem in marineford. I see one peace not only as a shonen, but as a very very wide universe, and seeing most of this universe collapse in marineford was one of the best experience I had in any anime, witch makes marineford the best arc in one peace by far in my opinion.
Where you explained where he shows the reactions of everyone, I shit bricks that was so funny
‘Vista only thinks about flowers’
‘Do shadows count as new characters’
‘Oars JR is lying dead on the floor’
LOL literally one of the funniest moments ofWatching your videos your description of the dramatic reaction great Mountain.
The reactions is what i love tbh
9:35
I really hope you put " to be continued" at the end of that because that happens on all the episodes in One Piece in WCI.
*post watching video comment
So I normally don't leave gigantic comments on your channel but I feel like some conversation is worth it here.
1. This is the pinnacle of what anime and manga can be in my opinion.
2. Despite whitebeard dying roughly 8 years ago in the manga he is still my favorite character ever. Like ever ever. Like in all of everything everything. He is the perfect representation of everything I think is cool in a character.
3. I find it very interesting how you say most people didn't enjoy the slowing down of the war in the anime, for I feel the exact opposite. I enjoyed the anime a lot more than the manga because I was not caught up to the manga weekly until the next arc. So when I read the manga it felt very much like oda was rushing through everything. Some moments felt trifled on because of what happened in the previous chapter and I just was a much bigger fan of the anime taking it's time and allowing the arc a little breathing room. But I grew up with dragonball z so I guess I'm almost used to that. I will say, post time skip the anime has officially become unwatchable for me though. I stopped watching the anime around halfway through Fishman and just kept up with the manga at that point.
I stopped watching the anime at punk hazard
The Hina joke made me chuckle out loud at 12 am
dude, you are the only youtuber who can voice my inner narration of One Piece. You can give justice to One Piece. Thank you
Ha ha! This was great! Oh, you may have just caused me to rethink my order for the best arcs of the series.
I was likely hung-up & exhausted with the whole "great manga wars" period of the time, as Bleach had the Arrancar War & Naruto had the 4th Great Ninja War all around the same time, and all of them never really reached that perfect level of mayhem & strategy that I associate with the concept. I always envision something with the description of "war" to take place over multiple days & over a broad area, and my reservation at calling this arc a "war" is because we only really see the climactic battle at Marineford.
Yes, perhaps the conflict is the largest yet seen in the anime, but it didn't quite feel that way. . . somehow. For example, Alubarna seems approximate in size to Marineford, & Crocodile had a bomb placed to blow it up (darn you Pel Effect). Eneru was going to sink an entire island. Even Enies Lobby suffered a multiple-wave invasion & eventual desolation under the Buster Call. All of those appeared to suffer a cataclysm on par with Whitebeard at Marineford, & the melee in the encircling wall wasn't quite the spectacle that the Strawhat/Galley-la/Franky Family Alliance's drive to the courthouse had.
But that's just how I feel. I caught up with the anime immediately after Enies Lobby & picked up the manga in the middle of Thriller Bark, & as such I'll always have a soft spot for the eternal daylight isle. Certainly, Whitebeard delivered on everything he was promised to be & he remains one of my favorite anime characters PERIOD. The change in the power structure post-war was monumental & influential. And you're right, I too was one of those readers who believed Ace wouldn't die because of the Pel Effect & because Marco is the LITERAL EMBODIMENT OF THE REVIVING FLAME.
. . . I thought it was so obvious. . . And it would have been the most clever & foreshadowed implementation of the Pel Effect, too!
Luffy's running in the same place for 40 episodes syndrome was rough this arc.
Wanna know something funny
Edward is whitebeard
Teach is the forth division commander.
The real life Black beard was named Edward Teach...
@ᴜɴᴇX̶ᴘᴇᴄᴛᴇᴅ Masterpiece You're right I made a typo
4th division was called thatch
Teach is black beards name
Thank God Luffy didn't go super sayian or nine tail mode when Ace died
He should’ve still tried to fight Akainu a fail miserably and losing half his face for being so reckless
Loved this arc Rev. Laughed my lungs out of oxygen. (what are you doing here stelly, u weren't in marine Ford)
10:05 I didn’t know you could be this funny💀
I recently rewatched this arc and was able to better appreciate how badass Crocodile is. He took on big names like Whitbeard, Doffy, Mihawk and Akainu without hesitation. I think his power level is tough to measure since he lost to Luffy early on in the series. But the fact is he could've killed Luffy in a minute if he had taken things seriously.
“Smoker is annoyed because of reasons” no matter old these videos are they never get old 😂😂
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!!
Hahaha best review yet, loved it.
The best thing akainu has a lava stick stuck up his ass 10:22 LOL
"Ace simply can't handle aaall theeese feeels!"
"Vista can only think about flowers!"
"Akainu has a lava-stick up his arse!"
"Do you think Sengoku even *wears* underpants?"
By far my favorite war arc in any shounen ive watched.
I believe the brilliance(a term I do not use lightly) of Marineford isn't just that it is a huge spectacle event with enormous stakes, but how Oda managed to tie almost every singe character into this conflict with his or her own motivations for fighting. Take Crocodile for example. His motivation for getting to Marineford was to kill WhiteBeard. When that was not an option, he chose to fight not out of loyalty, but because he hated the World Government and didn't want them to win by killing Ace. It is stuff like this that make me appreciate the arc. Even if the ending dragged a bit. And why this is my second favorite arc in OP.
Ok, Marineford Arc is almost a decade ago (wow, incredible to say it out loud), so I probably forgot many details, but why exactly is a one day battle called a "war"? It always bugged me.
War (to simplify it) - The clash of 2 or more factions/groups in a combatical manor, in which weaponry, death, and bloodshed are all key factors. Basically, Marineford is a Paramount War because its the clashing of multiple factions and groups, such as the World Govt. And the Whitebeard Pirates, in an all out battle where many people die and heaps of blood is shed. THATs a WAR, no matter how long it goes for.
@@thepredman9lol266 The intention in my question was why it's called 'war' rather than 'battle'. maybe I should have made myself clear. I do know the definition of war, but thank you very much for reminding. War is a large scale event comprising a number of battles, and involving one or more nations or fractions. A battle on the other hand is a rather small scale combat, which is usually localized.
The Battles of Marathon, Waterloo or Monte Cassino are considered battles within a war between multiple fractions, which had consequences for the overall war. What bugs me is how one single battle that introduces & concludes a conflict between two fractions, is considered a war rather than a battle.
my Top 5 One Piece character:
5. Shanks
4. Garp
3. Nami
2. Sanji
1. Luffy
hmm i kinda disagree on the reactions part, i think seeing how other characters react to events is interesting and adds to the detail put into every episode
It is, but they could afford to not spend massive amounts of seconds on each individual character. But then again that would defeat the purpose of using it as filler.
Damn you! Great review!
Haha, thank you!
Stelly got me
Edit: thx for da heart *Stelly*
You said this in the previous arc reviews that the Straw Hats were not Big players in the world, but that never really hit me until this arc. Luffy is of minor importance in the grand scheme of things, he helped, but this was Whitebeard's arc. I probably could not count on two hands the number of people there who could defeat Luffy.
