Same here. From what I've read, nearly the entire cast/crew either started as or became fans of the IP during filming. I know Emily Rudd (Nami) is a huge anime nerd.
Oh my god, I started watching One Piece 21 years ago in the German dub (even tho it's not my native language) and then when I grew older I switched to English and reread and rewatched it a couple of times since then. Never realized that having möwe there was international and not something they changed for the German version till now 😂

The TL;DR answer to the extremely good question Clarus asked regarding how devil fruits have names if each one is unique is that they respawn after the user dies. If a devil fruit has been cataloged, that means it's been seen before at some point.
This world kind of makes sense because of the plot. It’s an adventure story where the main characters don’t know the world even though they’ve lived in it. And the characters from each island also don’t know much about the world because of the sea beasts, dangers of piracy, and the unpredictability of the world. It allows Oda to play around as much as he wants. At the same time, the lack of access for citizens or civilians gives the military or pirates a lot of power. They can control trade, access, or information. A lot of people I’ve seen have been confused about the map they’re looking for, but if you live in a world that lacks information or access, something like a map is super valuable.
It also makes sense when you learn more about the World Government, who want to control everything & limit information to the public. As well, with the Grand Line, due to each island having its own magnetic field, normal compasses are useless on it, & because of that & the crazy weather patterns that happen on it, you can end up in one of 7 different routes along it.
I think part of the confusion also stems from the fact that in the LA Nami doesn't mention the Calm Belt. I'm pretty sure that's true to the anime/manga, but knowledge of its existence does a lot to clarify why you'd need a map to find what is essentially 'the equator', sort of.
Clarus is totally correct that the tiny transponder snails are baby snails =) It's been confirmed that the snails don't mind being tamed since they get plenty of food. And the modifications are harmless, any attachments can be removed and the snails returned to the wild. (Maybe not the ones that have been pets since they were babies though 🤔)
Your little look at the camera when they opened the safe was wonderful, Nerdy. You're right that they change a lot of details to tell their own version of the story, but I also love that they clearly choose to keep certain moments. Especially the flashback in this episode has some clearly drawn shots that you noticed. I love this version of Buggy. He's intimidating and they (of course) go more Dark Knight than the original does. But they don't forget to make him pathetic, which is very important for Buggy. Also, the Japanese version uses the original voice actors, and it's so much fun. The scene with Buggy is especially good.
The dynamic of someone who's a massive fan showing the series to a total newcomer is really great. 90% of the comments I would leave to help explain things are handled by you in the video, and I get to see the reactions to my answers/explanations right away. Also the dichotomy between your facial expressions for big important moments is comedy gold.
16:25 "Möwe" just means seagull in german. I think the marine is generally associated with seagulls since a high up marine wears a seagull hat, also the marine logo is a somewhat stylized seagull above two connected crescents
It was not at all surprising to me that he got offered the role sans audition after working with Matt Owens on AoS - Deke and Buggy are truly my favourite trash sons
On the fruit naming thing. Much, much later in the anime/manga than you've seen, it's revealed that there is actually a devil fruit enciclopedia! It's very rare though and not every fruit is on it, but apparently it is kinda known that some fruits names are totally common knowledge.
they actually give the bartenders name, in episode 1 though, and it's a busy scene, so it's easy to miss if you don't know it already - she is called Makino ( "Makino, got a mob? " ) there were a couple of scenes when your reactions contrast was hilarious .... and the Goldfish reference and the resulting joy / confusion especially XD

I can imagine a specific character being portrayed as a tough Mexican mom in this version to explain adult Luffy's accents Imagine her throwing chanclas at the kids in live action And that won't affect the other two kids' accents as adults because they "left" that place early, while Luffy stayed with her until he's ready to set sail for the first time

It's funny that you said Garp reminds you of Gerard Butler. Most people haven't mentioned or realized that the actor played the older Spartan in the army with King Leonidis, who Gerard Butler played in the movie 300.
Your reactions are truly a delight to watch! Jeff Ward as Buggy was a wonderful surprise for me when I watched the LA for the first time: such amazing casting and performance. And, you're right, it's because he's playing it straight. He, as the character is taking himself 100% seriously and so when he fumbles and does something silly, like punching the glass cage, it's hilarious but still feels real, like he's a person who sometimes does dumb things (like we all do). And despite his fumbling he does come across as a seasoned pirate. Love that you caught Cho Cho's cameo. There's also a few blink-and-you-miss-it references to Ritchie the lion in there as well. I just wish we'd gotten to see more of Buggy interacting with his crew -- Moji cringing away from Buggy made me sad. I understand why we didn't, but Buggy's crew was a bit unique in the East Blue in that his crew genuinely loved their captain and their respect didn't come from being terrified of him. There's one other crew that we meet in the East Blue that isn't all-out terrified of their captain, but the dynamic there is very different and... complicated in ways we don't find out until much, much later.
YUP, LOL - literally the strike of the year 2000 is when the author of JoJo's put in the very first female protagonist of the series as soon as he was able to.
My wife can enjoy sci-fi or fantasy, but often has trouble when they become ungrounded, but because (I think) the actors take their roles so seriously, she's really been enjoying One Piece.
I think the lack of "MCU quips" is what made it works. At no point does a character looked at a snail phone and remarked about how weird it is. They all just treat them like a regular phone. And because the characters treat every weird thing seriously and do not call attention to them, it helps the audiences get immersed into the world and just take everything the show throw at them at face value. This world has snails for phones, everyone dressed in extremely polarizing ahistorical outfits from the 1500 to the modern day, there are pirate ships that sails using wind, but the bars have neon signs and electricity. There are fishmen and they have a pool party like a college fraternity, complete with booming speakers. At any point, a lesser writing team might try to add in a line saying how silly these clashing styles and aesthetics are, but that never happened, and so we as the audience also don't question it and just treat this like the fantasy world that it is. It's quite refreshing
The Bartender is Makino, shanks mentions it while asking for a mop. The lack of female characters is obviously noticeable and I think comes from 2 main aspects. 1. As you mentioned 90's show targeted at young boys, they tend to prefer male characters. 2. It's a fighting show and it's not a good look to have your male cast beating up women constantly. So most female fights end up with them beating the guys or they fight other women.
Well, this season mainly covers the East Blue saga & there aren’t a lot of female characters at this point. As you continue the series, you will encounter more & a lot of them are fan favorites & very well written.
There is an enzyclopiedia of devil fruits in the one piece world and from what i understood you can learn the name of your fruit with what it does once you ate it by compairing to the book
We don't know much about Devil Fruits in the manga cannon, so I always thought of the possibility that that line that Makino said about making a deal with the ocean might be canonical.
Depends on how far you are in the manga. True they're never explained fully, but there is quite a bit of information peppered throughout. Don't think they ever use the 'deal with the ocean' line so much as if you eat a devil fruit you anger the ocean and so it takes away your strength... but realistically that's just two slightly different interpretations of the same thing -- actually, it sounds like explanations from two different regions. Like one is the Goa Kingdom's story and the other is the story Shanks heard for instance (I can't remember who actually gives the explanation in manga canon, but I'm pretty sure it's not Makino).
Jeff Ward was such an awesome Buggy, one of the best perf in the show😃 Morgan getting punished like that in the LA was a bit meh for me, LA Morgan wasn't nearly as bad as anime Morgan. It's like they just punished him for losing against a pirate here, while in the anime he was actually terrorizing citizens and marines alike.
Morgan did lie to Garp about what happened, but yeah, he pretty much just got punished because he did in the anime/manga. Like, some of the clues as to how horrible he was were there (no one batted an eye when he hit his own son with the side of his ax so hard he fell to the ground).
@@bluelight17 Lol, true, by that point you just really want to see that brat get hit. I think it's one of those moments where, in retrospect, when you think about it that you realize what it's actually indicating and what that means.
Yes, a warm hug. That's the perfect description of how one piece makes me feel. And I liked how you slipped the gold fish in there😉. By the way they're called telepathic snails 🖖😎👍
As for how they name devil fruits: each fruit looks unique and after the user dies it reappears. So if a fruit is known, it is easy to name. But it also leaves fruits with unknown effects, yet identifyable as devil fruits.
I’ll be very interested in your take on the next two episodes. From what I have seen people who know the story and those who don’t rate them very differently.
Just to make a small correction on the devil fruit power. Its only seawater that will take away both their strength AND power. Any other water is usually fine. So they can take showers and baths and be fine as long as it isn't seawater. That's why if you see a devil fruit eater drenched in seawater they are practically crawling on the ground (the scene where Luffy was crawling towards the hat, and buggy to the map). Just thought i would make that part clear! Love your channel. Ps: biceping should totally be a word lol
No no. Oda has confirmed that it's any type of water, not just sea water. And they only get weak as long as it's submerged above either their ankels or knees. Oda at the end of chapter 398, volume 40 got asked this specific question and he answered "People who have eaten a Devil Fruit are "hated" by the sea, and cannot swim. The "sea" here can refer to anything from rivers, pools and baths to any kind of standing water. On a worldwide level, they are all the "sea."
I was looking up Devil Fruit for reasons a few months ago, and the wiki said that anyone who eats a fruit immediately knows what its name is. Buggy IS amazing. Easily my favorite character in this show.
... that's not entirely accurate. I'm not going to spoil anything if you haven't seen the anime/manga, but there's at least one fruit we've come across where the user had no idea what it actually was and called it the wrong name (there are possibly extenuating circumstances here, but I'm going for vague as possible, because once you come across it, it's amazing if you can come into it completely blind like I did).
The live action was my first introduction to one piece (the art style never really attracted me) so hearing your insight in how things are changed in adapting is fun!
She hit the nose on the head! Swords are just sharp sticks! Almost every weapon before guns is just a variation of stick!!! ALL HAIL STICK, TEMPLATE OF ALL WEAPONS.
The seawater doesn't take their powers, it takes their strength. Their powers still technically work, but they'd be too weak to actually use them. You see this in Arlong Park in the anime when luffy gets his foot trapped in a rock and sunk to the bottom of the sea, but Nojiko is sitting out of the water and holding his head. His powers still work, and he's still able to stretch even underwater, but the water makes him so weak that they aren't of any use to him👍 thats also why devil fruit users can't swim bc being in the water makes them too weak to move, thus being unable to save themselves
The reason people know about the names of the Devil fruits is thanks to the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and Möwe ( wich is written on Captain Morgans's metal chin ) is German for Seagull. Also Fun Fact: Oda was a massive fan of Game of thrones.
The structure of the show is two episode arcs, every show has an arc and every two shows is a bigger arc and then the entire season arc, it’s pretty brilliantly structured
Really enjoying these reactions. Never got into the anime, my major problem was the trudging pacing. The live action really fixes that and blows me away in ll other aspects too.
i could see in her face processing, "wait, what? goldfish?", yeah one piece is crazy like that, but also people go sail because they need to, or else they get stuck in a small island for all their lives, and that creates problems, population grow, and islands are not enough to sustain a high population, they need to leave, gather resources, also there are insanely strong people in that world.
As far as story goes, I think they did a great job. That said, the way they tell it, while you will know the general story since you've watched past what the LA covers. the LA will spoil some stuff for you in the future.
He (Garp) probably reminds you of Gerard Buttler, because he acted along side him in the movie 300. He played the Captain of the Spartans, (leonidas/buttlers right hand man)
7:59 I might be bullshittin here but I think sometime in the anime somebody mentions you learn the name of the fruit when you eat it but all that's known before is the class it belongs to.
What you were talking about with the MCU jokes is called lampshading. Its basically an event, mostly emotional or comedical in nature, and undercutting it with a character pointing out how dumb it is. It is usally comes from the writer being insecure about how it is recived and they go "If I make fun of in then im taking the wind out of their sails" kinda thing. Sometimes its good in smaller moments but when it happens too much or too big of a moment it takes people out of the immersion. Red from Overlysarcastic Productions does a good video on it, and on a lot of other tropes.
That's such a tough thing to do right in a story I think. I'm no writer but I'm just thinking that if you're going to do that, you have to already be leaning into the absurdity of the world as a comedy to a degree that One Piece doesnt. One Piece has an absurd world that allows for creative and amusing things to happen, and it works because it balances out how seriously the story takes itself. I think if you had a comedy that was more like a scott pilgrim type of vibe you could get away with doing that sparingly because the entire point of the story would be the character themself overcoming that absurdity. You just cant let it linger or go stale. The issue with marvel is that they often seem to want to have their cake and eat it too, and it ends up being at odds with the serious tone they try to present the villain with.
I don't think the "cell phone" den den mushi change things, they're just a tinier version of the baby den den mushi from the manga/anime. They probably did that so that they don't always have to animate the baby ones, you just have a prop earpiece to use. I try not to think about how it would feel to use one, thought they do look extremely adorable XD

YUP, LOL - literally the strike of the year 2000 is when the author of JoJo's put in the very first female protagonist of the series as soon as he was able to.
My wife can enjoy sci-fi or fantasy, but often has trouble when they become ungrounded, but because (I think) the actors take their roles so seriously, she's really been enjoying One Piece.
I think the lack of "MCU quips" is what made it works. At no point does a character looked at a snail phone and remarked about how weird it is. They all just treat them like a regular phone. And because the characters treat every weird thing seriously and do not call attention to them, it helps the audiences get immersed into the world and just take everything the show throw at them at face value.
This world has snails for phones, everyone dressed in extremely polarizing ahistorical outfits from the 1500 to the modern day, there are pirate ships that sails using wind, but the bars have neon signs and electricity. There are fishmen and they have a pool party like a college fraternity, complete with booming speakers. At any point, a lesser writing team might try to add in a line saying how silly these clashing styles and aesthetics are, but that never happened, and so we as the audience also don't question it and just treat this like the fantasy world that it is. It's quite refreshing
The Bartender is Makino, shanks mentions it while asking for a mop.
The lack of female characters is obviously noticeable and I think comes from 2 main aspects.
1. As you mentioned 90's show targeted at young boys, they tend to prefer male characters.
2. It's a fighting show and it's not a good look to have your male cast beating up women constantly. So most female fights end up with them beating the guys or they fight other women.
It aint even that bad, there's like 5 good female characters in the east blue, in other shonen there's like 1 if lucky lol
Well, this season mainly covers the East Blue saga & there aren’t a lot of female characters at this point.
As you continue the series, you will encounter more & a lot of them are fan favorites & very well written.
There is an enzyclopiedia of devil fruits in the one piece world and from what i understood you can learn the name of your fruit with what it does once you ate it by compairing to the book
We don't know much about Devil Fruits in the manga cannon, so I always thought of the possibility that that line that Makino said about making a deal with the ocean might be canonical.
Depends on how far you are in the manga. True they're never explained fully, but there is quite a bit of information peppered throughout. Don't think they ever use the 'deal with the ocean' line so much as if you eat a devil fruit you anger the ocean and so it takes away your strength... but realistically that's just two slightly different interpretations of the same thing -- actually, it sounds like explanations from two different regions. Like one is the Goa Kingdom's story and the other is the story Shanks heard for instance (I can't remember who actually gives the explanation in manga canon, but I'm pretty sure it's not Makino).
Funny you say that. The actor who played Garp was in the movie "300."
Jeff Ward was such an awesome Buggy, one of the best perf in the show😃 Morgan getting punished like that in the LA was a bit meh for me, LA Morgan wasn't nearly as bad as anime Morgan. It's like they just punished him for losing against a pirate here, while in the anime he was actually terrorizing citizens and marines alike.
Morgan did lie to Garp about what happened, but yeah, he pretty much just got punished because he did in the anime/manga. Like, some of the clues as to how horrible he was were there (no one batted an eye when he hit his own son with the side of his ax so hard he fell to the ground).
@@MorenaEvensong though most show watchers also pretty much cheered when he hit Helmeppo, so it didn't work very well in showing how bad he was😅
@@bluelight17 Lol, true, by that point you just really want to see that brat get hit. I think it's one of those moments where, in retrospect, when you think about it that you realize what it's actually indicating and what that means.
Yes, a warm hug. That's the perfect description of how one piece makes me feel. And I liked how you slipped the gold fish in there😉. By the way they're called telepathic snails 🖖😎👍
They ARE talepathic snails, they are called Transponder Snails or Den Den Muchi
@@The_dandy_zombie yes they ARE thank you
As for how they name devil fruits: each fruit looks unique and after the user dies it reappears. So if a fruit is known, it is easy to name. But it also leaves fruits with unknown effects, yet identifyable as devil fruits.
i LOVE that you LOVE it. one piece bros we cant stop winning can we
Right? So awesome seeing a relatively new fan just completely understand what makes it so good, both the anime and the LA.
16:23 mowe is German for seagull, which is the emblem of the Marines
Clarus actually smiled when Shanks and the boys were stomping the other pirates. Then she beams at Zoro Zoroing.
Möwe German for "seagull"🤣
I’ll be very interested in your take on the next two episodes. From what I have seen people who know the story and those who don’t rate them very differently.
Just to make a small correction on the devil fruit power. Its only seawater that will take away both their strength AND power. Any other water is usually fine. So they can take showers and baths and be fine as long as it isn't seawater. That's why if you see a devil fruit eater drenched in seawater they are practically crawling on the ground (the scene where Luffy was crawling towards the hat, and buggy to the map). Just thought i would make that part clear! Love your channel.
Ps: biceping should totally be a word lol
No no. Oda has confirmed that it's any type of water, not just sea water. And they only get weak as long as it's submerged above either their ankels or knees. Oda at the end of chapter 398, volume 40 got asked this specific question and he answered "People who have eaten a Devil Fruit are "hated" by the sea, and cannot swim. The "sea" here can refer to anything from rivers, pools and baths to any kind of standing water. On a worldwide level, they are all the "sea."
I was looking up Devil Fruit for reasons a few months ago, and the wiki said that anyone who eats a fruit immediately knows what its name is.
Buggy IS amazing. Easily my favorite character in this show.
... that's not entirely accurate. I'm not going to spoil anything if you haven't seen the anime/manga, but there's at least one fruit we've come across where the user had no idea what it actually was and called it the wrong name (there are possibly extenuating circumstances here, but I'm going for vague as possible, because once you come across it, it's amazing if you can come into it completely blind like I did).
There were certain parts of the internet that were very interested in Buggy when this aired.
The live action was my first introduction to one piece (the art style never really attracted me) so hearing your insight in how things are changed in adapting is fun!
Möwe = German for "seagull". Seagull is the symbol for the Marines. I like that Mowe has like two seagulls with "M" and "W".
She hit the nose on the head! Swords are just sharp sticks! Almost every weapon before guns is just a variation of stick!!! ALL HAIL STICK, TEMPLATE OF ALL WEAPONS.
The seawater doesn't take their powers, it takes their strength. Their powers still technically work, but they'd be too weak to actually use them. You see this in Arlong Park in the anime when luffy gets his foot trapped in a rock and sunk to the bottom of the sea, but Nojiko is sitting out of the water and holding his head. His powers still work, and he's still able to stretch even underwater, but the water makes him so weak that they aren't of any use to him👍 thats also why devil fruit users can't swim bc being in the water makes them too weak to move, thus being unable to save themselves
Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤ So glad you are enjoying the show ❤
Cant wait for the rest, especially the last 4
The fruit's all regenerate after the users have died. So most likely they've all been used at least once and have been given a name.
Turned on my notifications for episode 2 just to search for it instead loving yalls reactions🎉
MOWE is German for “seagull” and that is the symbol for the marines.
The reason people know about the names of the Devil fruits is thanks to the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and Möwe ( wich is written on Captain Morgans's metal chin ) is German for Seagull. Also Fun Fact: Oda was a massive fan of Game of thrones.
I think they say there is an encyclopedia of all the known devil fruits in the anime.
i got to the half way point of hte video and was losing my mind at how freaking much was left at the end. YES~ all the discussion ^.^
2:52 Throat Goat Luffy! the community has kindly bestowed upon him
The eater of a devil fruit learns it’s name when they eat it.
The structure of the show is two episode arcs, every show has an arc and every two shows is a bigger arc and then the entire season arc, it’s pretty brilliantly structured
I believe the cannon ball full of sleeping gas was the buggy ball. The smoke bomb Buggy used to knock Luffy out looks just like one.
One of the BEST Reviews I seen on One Piece Live Action!
The contrasting reactions at 7:20 are great
Really enjoying these reactions. Never got into the anime, my major problem was the trudging pacing. The live action really fixes that and blows me away in ll other aspects too.
Now there will be a remake in the future with better pacing
Funny you said it reminded you of Gerard Butler, the Actor who played Garp was The Captain in 300 along side Gerard.
The woman bartender name is Makino
"Möwe" is german for "seagull". As to WHY Morgan has that written on his chin i have no idea xD
i could see in her face processing, "wait, what? goldfish?", yeah one piece is crazy like that, but also people go sail because they need to, or else they get stuck in a small island for all their lives, and that creates problems, population grow, and islands are not enough to sustain a high population, they need to leave, gather resources, also there are insanely strong people in that world.
Sea water sepcifically. Not any water. And no he doesnt have to be submerged for it to partially sap his power.
As far as story goes, I think they did a great job. That said, the way they tell it, while you will know the general story since you've watched past what the LA covers. the LA will spoil some stuff for you in the future.
The guy playing Buggy was Also on agent's of shield...Fitz Simmons Jr...
Mowe is German for seagull, the symbol of the marines.
Fun fact: the Actor who plays Garp was in 300 with Gerard Butler. He was in a couple off historic movies. Troy as well.
He (Garp) probably reminds you of Gerard Buttler, because he acted along side him in the movie 300.
He played the Captain of the Spartans, (leonidas/buttlers right hand man)
Any Scottish accent... omg is that Gérard Butler??😂😂😂😂
The emotions in this live action is epic. ❤❤❤
The earpod snail phone could be a nod to the baby snail phone that is place on the arm like a bracelet.
Never watched the Anime, knew nothing about it but the name, the live action has been a lot of fun to watch
The actor that plays Luffy's grandfather what's in the movie 300
7:59 I might be bullshittin here but I think sometime in the anime somebody mentions you learn the name of the fruit when you eat it but all that's known before is the class it belongs to.
What you were talking about with the MCU jokes is called lampshading. Its basically an event, mostly emotional or comedical in nature, and undercutting it with a character pointing out how dumb it is. It is usally comes from the writer being insecure about how it is recived and they go "If I make fun of in then im taking the wind out of their sails" kinda thing. Sometimes its good in smaller moments but when it happens too much or too big of a moment it takes people out of the immersion. Red from Overlysarcastic Productions does a good video on it, and on a lot of other tropes.
That's such a tough thing to do right in a story I think. I'm no writer but I'm just thinking that if you're going to do that, you have to already be leaning into the absurdity of the world as a comedy to a degree that One Piece doesnt. One Piece has an absurd world that allows for creative and amusing things to happen, and it works because it balances out how seriously the story takes itself. I think if you had a comedy that was more like a scott pilgrim type of vibe you could get away with doing that sparingly because the entire point of the story would be the character themself overcoming that absurdity. You just cant let it linger or go stale. The issue with marvel is that they often seem to want to have their cake and eat it too, and it ends up being at odds with the serious tone they try to present the villain with.
lampshading is not a good thing to do period. Like I said it comes from an insecurity for your work to be taken seriously.@@mossicely
Ohhh....The Lead singer from AFI GOT IT OUT FOR ZORO!
Maui stands for seagull i belive its been a while since i read the first tankaban
Möwe is german for seagull :D idk why but oda puts alot of german words in one piece :D you can catch a few more in the anime
Amazing reaction. Thanks for your input
( spoiler)
I'm going to believe that he picked up the accent when he was sent to live with ace...works for the narrative
3:39 it's like taking steroids: you'll have big muscles, but troubles down there
I flashily reached semantic satiation
It seems Only 1/100 american onepiece fans watched the real deal with subtitles 😮
1:55 we are 2 mins in and my favorite thing is still Nerdy Laughing!!!!!! lol
The snail buds are live action original
I don't think the "cell phone" den den mushi change things, they're just a tinier version of the baby den den mushi from the manga/anime. They probably did that so that they don't always have to animate the baby ones, you just have a prop earpiece to use. I try not to think about how it would feel to use one, thought they do look extremely adorable XD
Garp was in 300 too. A spartan. The one whose son died I think.
There's a devil fruit encyclopedia lol
