Hey guys some quick facts! 1. Every Island has a different level of isolation and progress, hence why the technology levels are very inconsistent in the show. 2. This season covers the first 45 episodes of the anime, with some plot structure changes. 3. Usopp is based off both Pinnochio and Aesopp from his fables. He tells stories to entertain and shake up his village. A big difference between this and the manga/anime is Usopp has 3 kids who are his "crew" of the "Usopp pirates". 4. Season 1 is just thr prologue. The plan for the show is 6 seasons currently, but if the show stays successful, it would be around 12 seasons total or so. 5. The current large sea we are in the East Blue is very large but very safe and normal. The Grand Line circles the planet along the Equator. It is an isolated strip of extremely dangerous islands, both civilized and wild.
also one piece world is no like "old pirate times" its more lot of isolated islands with huge "progress gradient" among them. some ancient up to dinosaurs and tribal culture some semimodern. and ofc all this spread across with sailors. so makeup, printed t-shirts and neon signs in sorta middle ages pirate age setting are common
That's not entirely true ... in the manga itself, they wear the same stuff most of the time (can change depending on weather/climate) ... but what they wear on the cover pages, that changes almost every new volume and that's where the outfits are from ^^ So it's from the manga, but it's not from the manga ... xD
@@BestAnimeFreakluffy probably is the one who mostly use similar outfits through multiple arcs (if its not needed like a coat for winter island), but nami definitely use different outfits each time, in my headcanon luffy or zoro probably got help from nami for choosing their outfits lol they are family afterall
But Zoro believes Luffy! That's why he's following him. Just the way Zoro looks at Luffy anytime he says "I'm a different kind of pirate" or "I'm finally making my dream a reality".. Luffy gives Zoro hope to possibly achieve his own dream one day. That's how optimistic Luffy is.. Someone as great as Zoro actually believes in him and is willing to follow him.
One thing that is apparently a trend in this is that Zoro has a terrible sense of direction. I guess he always gets lost. When he says he's looking for a drink and that the house is a maze to Luffy it's part of the joke.
Yeah. It seems unclear in live action but anime characters do become superhuman naturally. Unless it's some kind of weird power like turing into fire entirely and not like just super strength or speed, assume that it's NOT because of a Devil Fruit.
I believe the showrunner decide to make it vague so more mystery to the characters and interesting for new audience to speculate and looking forward for their strength explained in future episode.
Spoiler I guess My personal theory after watching this reaction and others as well as the anime before is that he's adapt in Shave, one of the 6 powers of CP9.
@@officialnoonon I always thought that too, but at the same time he doesn't use it well enough to attack accurately. So he definitely hasn't mastered it.
Seriously, Helmeppo's actor did such an amazing job with his character. Big shout out to him. And his new haircut is actually much closer to his original style. I was wondering how they could pull it off bc it didn't look like it could be real but they did it. 😂
I think they get inspiration from a later version of Helmeppo where he does have long hair and add extra scenes to make it short like his intro weak character
I like him as Zoro, sure they wrote him a bit more closed off than in anime, but it works in live action. Also when he finally smiles it counts even more.
@@procrastinator547doesnt feel like zoro at all? I understand feeling its a slightly different Zoro but to say hes not like zoro at all is ridiculous, hes literally using the same lines he uses from the manga for a large portion of the show..
Watching four ultra muscled dudes react to a story I've been passionate about for more than ten years is fascinating lmao I adore your reactions to it. About the aesthetic and clothing : the manga is filled with pop culture references, in clothes, names etc (like the Freddy Krueger gloves) so it's all very unique, and not set in a specific time period, which is one of the reasons the manga got so popular : you never know what you'll get. They have SNAIL PHONES, for crying out loud lol. Can't wait for more of your reactions, it's always fun and interesting !
I love how you guys ask the questions at the start of the episodes and by the time the episodes end it's all answered. Shows great writing from the show runners. Just love it!
Fun facts: Usopp's name is a combination of the Japanese word uso, which means lie, and Aesop, an story writer from ancient Greece who wrote fables. Also in the original manga/anime Usopp has a long nose reminiscent of Pinocchio. But I totally get why they didn't add it in the live action since it would look goofy.
Fun fact about the clothing: While they don't change their clothing as often in manga/anime, all of costumes Straw Hat crew wore in this Live Action are from the manga chapter cover pages and splash arts the author, Eiichiro Oda, drew by himself.
I'm SO HAPPY to see so many non anime watchers enjoying One Piece and by proxy, getting to know what anime/manga has to offer. As you said, it's SO different from western media, just WAIT until you see Nami, Zoro's and more of Luffys backstory (plus, we haven't been introduced to my favourite character yet- Sanji the liberally ass kicking chef ^^) EDIT: First time I've come across you guys, and your laughs are so infectious I not only binged all your One Piece reactions, I also had to keep rewinding to rewatch your reactions to certain parts. You've Earnt this new sub ❤
If you remember in the Luffy flashbacks Yasopp is the guy in Shanks crew with the 2 guns who's extremely accurate. Also devil fruits are extremely extremely rare so if they didn't say it this person doesn't have devil fruit powers. Just another powers through training that will be explained later.
@bensenzo tHaNKs foR ThE uNNecEsSArY SpoIlER" - 🤓 it's a 26 year old show, book, and movies. Not my fault. How is it a spoiler to say there are many devil fruits also
I love Kaya and Usopp's relationship. She doesn't treat him as a terrible liar, more like a passionate guy who loves to tell stories to spark imagination. ❤️
I feel so bad for Usopp in this episode. He spent his whole life waiting for a chance to be in adventures with his father, and admires him a lot. And Luffy had those chances.
for the wide angle shots .i think they wanted the audience to feel what its like to read a manga,lots of manga shots here in the series,they really adapting the manga in every aspect
Wholeheartedly agree. The way they use the camera really helps capture that anime/manga feel and really adds to the viewing experience. Such a unique treat
@@meatbleed yeah i know it kinda weird a little..but again this is manga adaptation,they wanted the audiences to feel the manga viewing experience,and i bet thats oda's idea so people who dont know anything about anime/manga can actually relate if they want to start watching the anime/read manga
A note about Kuro's speed, in the show they didn't really have time to explain this but Kuro, the main villain of the episode, is not using a Devil Fruit power. He's actually using a specific technique that has a lot of limitations. When he uses it, it makes it difficult to see or move with precision so he can only really push or slash while using the technique. He doesn't have a superspeed power or anything. This will make the fight in the next episode make more sense as a lot of people who watch only the live action, often wonder why he just doesn't use super speed all the time.
Possibly a small correction. I've interpreted it, and have seen other people comment this, that Kuro has control over his speed except for when he uses his Out of the Back (Shakushi) attack. That's when he goes so fast that he can't control his trajectory.
@@cosesu8929 He has some control but its not as refined as Shave. Shave is far more precise and controlled. His Out of the Back attack is the slashing equivalent of closing your eyes and doing a spray and pray with a machine gun. It's been a while since I've seen or read the original Syrup Village, but from what I remember it was pretty clumsy especially compared to Jet or Shave. It gave Luffy a little trouble but not much even back when he was as inexperienced as he was in Syrup Village.
@@officialnoonon Oda has actually explained that Kuro was indeed using shave, but in a rudimentary form. Just like with practically every non-DF ability up until Sabaody. It all may be Haki-based
If you remember from the earlier episode with captain Morgan, you guys noticed scars on his arms. Captain Kuro was the one who gave morgan those scars and busted up his face. Kuro also tricked Morgan into believing he was killed by Morgan, which morgan used to prop up his reputation and career. You can briefly see Kuro's wanted poster in the safe when they take out the map because it's the pinnacle of his career. That's why he is called Kuro "of the thousand plans", he uses intricate plans (and a special crew member left out in this series) to survive.
I love seeing reactors constantly guessing what's gonna happen and get it wrong the majority of the time. It's great. Also again, you guys will see, everyone with powers is not a devil fruit user, they usually tell you if they do and it's usually a 'unique' ability.
Love you guy's reaction to the show so far, just a little correction on whats covered, the whole first season covers up to roughly episode 45, with some differences sprinkled along the way
With regard to Buggy not splitting when captured by Arlong’s crew: One Piece has this thing called Seastone, special handcuffs used to arrested pirates with Devil Fruit powers. I haven’t noticed if buggy was handcuffed but the properties of whatever was tying him might be made from a seastone. Coming into contact with Seastone has the same effect on a Devil Fruit user as falling into the sea, it will drain the Devil Fruit user of their stamina and nullify their powers.
I love how instantly you all distrusted Kuro. They just plain nailed it with all the casting here. Also, interesting change from the manga here. There it's never explicitly said that he was poisoning Kaya to keep her sick and easier to control, but that was a very common fan theory. Given that the manga writer, Oda, had near total creative control of things, him letting them add that pretty much confirms that he was doing this. Loving your reactions and how much you all are into this show!
The fact that the director of LA action asked Oda if they have electricity in OP world and that made Oda think but he eventually said yes. that's why they added a lot of lightings.
Actually, Devil Fruits are quite rare in the East Blue, and Klahadore didn't possess a Devil Fruit power. Having super strength or speed doesn't necessarily indicate that someone has a Devil Fruit power.
Interesting subtle details :- Kuro fixes his glasses the same way even without the claws. Old habits. Axe-hand Morgan really caught the Kuro, but his imposter..that was touched a bit more in the manga/anime. Kuro had a Hypnotist in his crew, so Morgan was hypnotised in believing thats Kuro. The Hypnotist was cut from the script, else he played a good part in also trying to Hypnotise the sick girl to write the will...along with the comedy.
Small but fun detail you may have missed was the way Klahadore adjust his glasses. It looks funny when he's just wearing gloves, but it's a habit he developed so he wouldn't cut himself with his own claws.
The game that Garp and Coby are playing is called Go. It's 6000 years old and from China but is huge in Japan. Othello is a modern version of a game called Reversie from 1831 and is probably a western interpretation of Go.
They play Go and the playing pieces are called stones. According to Wiki, the players take turns placing their stones on the vacant intersections on the board. When a game concludes, the winner is determined by counting each player's surrounded territory along with captured stones and komi (points added to the score of the player with the white stones as compensation for playing second).
@@benediktmathes2528 I may be incorrect about that. I've seen Go referred to as Othello many times, but I've never played it myself so if I'm wrong then that's entirely my bad.
In one piece, there is no time or era it is set in. They have everything from pre historic islands with dinosours and tribals to futuristic islands. So since pirates move through all islands, they use all kinds of techs including TVs. Also the techs are different from our world,like the snail phone. Those snails apparently have telepathic abilities and are caught and domesticated to be used as transponders and they are willing to work thus in exchange for food. They are called transponder snails / den den mushi. They can also record videos, so people can livestream.
just a heads up, when character didn't mention Devil Fruit after showing their skill, they never ate it. that's just their pure skill. so Klahadore just doing fast anime move.
Close. The rule is more that devil fruit eaters will always tell you what fruit they ate and exactly what it does. All great fighters call out their finishing moves, not just devil fruit users.
Devil fruits are pretty rare. A lot of people just have skills and techniques through training. Kuro doesn't have one, he can just dash around, but not that well. He has to regain his balance after the dash, and can't see while he is doing it. Otherwise he would just kill everyone. I love how he adjusts his glasses. That is really iconic to the character. Before it is revealed who he really is, he kept adjusting his glasses with the palm of his hand. Then you see here who he really is and why he did that, because he is used to adjusting his glasses with the blades on his gloves.
As someone who has been keeping up with One Piece since I was maybe 12, it is such a joy to watch people experience One Piece. Hearing the theories and everything else, knowing when you're gonna be surprised or not and seeing how much fun you're having experiencing it. Welcome to the crew y'all :D
Captain Kuro doesnt have a devil fruit. He’s using a technique called “Nukiashi” (Stealth Foot) which allows him to move fast and stealthy, obtained through training. Regular people in One Piece can reach varying levels of superhuman strength, speed and durability through training (or talent) alone.
About the clothing, most of the main characters outfits are taken from manga cover or chapter color spreads, just a little fun fact to make you understand how deep these directors went to connect the world and give the fans some winks while also keeping the fun and goofy world that is one piece by having this mix of old and new types of clothes and technological disparities.
The props used in the live action are reflecting the Anime / Manga and even though it might not fita "traditional" pirate story this is a world Eichira Oda is building and the further the story progresses the more of it is actually explained / put into context of the world itself. Oda is a master of world building and making things that may appear incoherent at first actually make sense much like he flashes out his caharacters and giving them motivation.
42:33 Their outfits are actually impressive because they took it from different cover pages of the manga. Sure, it can be weird and random at some new audience but we appreciate it because we felt the love, passion and impressive detail from the production team... there's a youtuber actually who breakdown these details or "easter eggs" but don't watch it yet if you haven't finished the series
Kuro/Klahadore did not eat a Devil Fruit. It is a technique taught within the Marines that you guys will probably learn about later called “Soru/Shave” that allowed users to move really fast but Kuro was still too inexperienced in the manga that he could not see where he was jumping most of the time.
Luffy for 23 years of my life, just like watching all of you, is so positive you can't help but smile through badd times. Thank you all for the consistent grind!
@@BaddMedicine The core story is about rising throughout the world with your friends dreams as a team. Just like you are doing at Badd Medicine. Becoming more notorious. You will be Kings of TH-cam!!!
As a one piece fan, I'm very happy that this live action show is doing well and getting people that don't watch anime to enjoy it. There are a lot of great animes that so much of the population doesn't know about because they can't get past the bias that anime is for kids because it is drawn.
So much fun watching you four discover the world of ONE PIECE (this was my entry into the world as well and I wrote my college entrance essay about how one anime character and myself were similar and my university thesis was on the relationship between Japanese women language and Shojo (made for girls) manga) as well as anime in general. So appreciative of how open you four always are to stepping out of your comfort zone with content ❤ looking forward to sailing the rest of the way with this crew
@Badd Medicine, 2:49 Their world isn't our world, so I wouldn't worry much about modern things from our world being in theirs. Their oceans and maps are of some other world and some other time that has nothing to do with ours =) 31:59 Exactly, they are members of the Black Cat Pirates. Buggy and his pirates doubled down on their clown/circus themes, right? Well, the same thing is happening here with Kuro and his lot. Kuro's claws, speed, personality, etc. are cat-like. 35:01 And now you know why Usopp did what he did. He grew up without a family or a parent figure really. His father was a pirate, a member of Shanks' crew, Yasopp the sharpshooter you saw in episode two, and since they went to the Grand Line, they can't return. Usopp's mother is like Kaya sickly, which is probably why Usopp is drawn to her. Usopp truly believed that if his father returned his mother would get better and that he could finally be like all the other children on the island who grew up with a family. It seems pretty clear that Usopp grew up with his delusions of grandeur and he can't let them go because that's all he's got--everyone else on the Island hates him ='( Kaya at least fancies his stories, since she's sickly and has no friends of her own, Usopp's stories allows her to live adventures outside her estate. Both of their stories are very sad. 35:12 No, he doesn't. He lives in his own prison of his own mind. Usopp needs to leave and have actual adventures so that he can actually start living.
Would like to add that there are people in this universe who are super fast/strong but isn't a result from a devil fruit but just from your typical anime/manga training. Hard to kinda depict the differences, especially with a show like this being adapted to live action, but figured I would add that tid bit. There is a bunch of supernatural stuff that can take place but not all of it is the result from the devil fruits.
The game Koby and Garp are playing is called Go - Nash plays it in A Beautiful Mind, and it’s featured in a key scene in the film Knives Out too. Incidentally, there’s a really good anime from around the same time ONE PIECE started called Hikaru no Go that was all about Go and is surprisingly thrilling for a show about a board game~
One Piece world-building is truly amazing. From devil fruits to snail-phones. The places the crew is visiting early on are more rural, but electricity does exist in One Piece, but it's not readily available to all people. Mostly because most of the world is water and everyone lives on separate islands.
Yeah this first season ends at episode 61 in the anime. So they flying through the story but it still works really well and gets the points across you need to know. I like to think of it like Spark Notes of the anime. Also, idk if anyone else in the comments have said but Coby is playing by a guy who transitioned from a girl. He played the part perfectly as well. Coby vibe is 100% there. Another thing is in the anime we didn't get this Garp and Coby relationship. Coby was just gone for about 150 episodes and shows up with Garp.
The reason why Kuro doesn't attack when he dashes is because he's dashing too fast for him to control his body. In the manga he accidentally hits everything including his own crew.
I think what’s so great about One Piece is even though the main “magic” thing of the series is devil fruits immediately it holds off on making EVERYONE a devil fruit person and goes “here’s fish people, and random people who just are Really fast or Really Really strong”.
There are differences between the anime and live action, but the differences make sense that could have happened. Also not all special abilities are from devil fruits.
One thing you guys touch on here is why I love one piece so much. A rule of storytelling isn’t that the world has to make sense. It’s that the world and characters have to make sense within the established confines of the story’s reality. One Piece has an overarching theme of freedom and that applies to the entire world. The world of One Piece makes no sense but to the characters within; it absolutely does.
Kuro just has superhuman speed from training himself. A lot of characters just have traditional superhuman traits, like super strength or super speed. Devil Fruit powers are rarer, and border on the _absurd._
In the One Piece universe there are people who does have super powers without necessarily eat a Devil fruit, the show will clearly say when a Devil Fruit user appears, Luffy and Buggy clearly said on early episodes. Also the pirate crew names usually describe some superpowers/characteristics of the crew, the Black Cat Pirates for instance, as the name say, they have "cat characteristics", (Fast, silent, well groomed, etc..) that's why they were hissing when Usopp was running, and the buttler is so well groomed that Mason said that he looks like plastic. some other crew names are funny to see how they were presented on the Anime/Manga.
If you noticed in episode 2 in the beginning, when nami opened the safe, along with the map, there is a wanted poster rolled up with a clear name of Kuro and a bounty of 16,000,000 berry bounty, when nami picked up the map, you can see zoro picking up the scroll but was not shown that zoro opened it... so you can see here that zoro is skeptical of Klahador a.k.a. Kuro... Also, during in episode 1, when captain morgan's arm was shown with scars, that is from kuro, and saying he killed kuro which was a lie, thus keeping his bounty on the safe... And another thing: if you noticed the way Kuro fixes his glasses, he uses his palm, it became a habit because during the time he was still a captain, he always use that cat claw gloves so when he fixes his glasses, he used his palm... Again, not all characters you see here are devil fruit user, in One Piece world, people can attain abilites and skills through rigorous training, there are people who are more stronger than devil fruit eater...
Sonny Chiba’s son nails it as Zoro. It’s probably why he got paid the most, that and he’s also doing fight choreography. EDIT: And it’s sad most folk don’t know a Go board when they see one. It’s a pretty old game, older than even chess!
The game garp and corby are playing is called Go in japan, wei qi in china and Baduk in Korea. People like to compare it to chess, but it is a whole lot more abstract and complex than that. You can learn the rules in a matter of minutes, but it will take you a lifetime to get good at the game. The goal here is to claim territory on the board and exert influence from it. You need to strike the right ballance between not outstretching beyond your means and securing what you already have, because territories can be lost and stones taken. I'd say it takes the average person about a month of playing daily to start using their heads in this, so Corby beating Garp, a man with a significant amount of life experience in a speed game, which relies heavily on experience , is a testament to how quick his mind and intuition works. It's a game that requires you to think 10 steps ahead. and because it is so abstract, in multiple variations. Unless Garp is really terrible at it, he should have tore corby a new one. There would have been no stone of his left on the board.
I think it would be fun to see after each episode, look up what the characters that get introduced look like in the manga/ anime, and get your thoughts or reactions, I did this with my step dad and he found it hilarious and interesting. He felt it made more sense seeing them like that and thought it was interesting how they kept it as close as possible
We're not mad at how you guys feel.... Because the next episode will answer some of the questions in this episode. There's still a bunch of twists and turns but I'm just going to stay silent until the next. Just glad to see your reactions.
@@Andrew-qi7wc yh but even then thats wrong for like.... 80% of the episodes. I'm saying its easy misunderstand what you mean by that, if you said they BECOME one of the strongest, ok. But to non anime viewers theyll think that in anime they'reone of the strongest while in LA they're portraid as weak which is not true
All the islands in One Piece have their own separated time periods, some are further along than others so this is why all the clothes and people are so VASTLY different and clashing. That, and this is just a really fun manga with a creator who loves making unique character designs that stand out.
the cool thing about Usopp's character is that he is supposed to be the one that your average person can relate to because he's the most human. he doesn't have flashy powers, he wants to run away whenever they're in danger, and his shortcomings are more obvious to the audience. because of that, people tend to think he's annoying in the beginning of the story, but that also makes his character growth more satisfying in the long run, especially when he has some BADASS moments wayyyy down the line (fingers crossed netflix doesn't cancel this after two seasons).
So fun fact, in the manga the whole Black Cat Pirate Crew shows up invading the island when Kuro decides to drop the act. This obviously gets cut, and the acting captain is a guy who when not working for Kuro hangs out on Mirror Ball Island. But Kuro is saying he doesn’t go there, and we don’t see them here. Just a dumb little in joke But it made me smile.
For some context for those who are confused or didn't catch it. But Kuro is the same name that Axe-hand Morgan said he 'defeated' in order to become famous and in the position he was in. Oh don't get me wrong Axe-hand Morgan wasn't lying, he truely believes he defeated Kuro, the problem with the Netflix adaptation is that a character in the manga/anime, named Jango, hypnotized Morgan to believe he defeated and captured Kuro. Some spoilers ahead, so don't read further if you don't want anything spoiled. However in this adaptation that's largely over looked, in part due to the limited time they were stuck with as Kuro's plan involved a violent 'Pirate attack' on the town to Kill Kaya instead of poisoning her. Kaya was a sickly girl in the manga/anime, but it wasn't due to poison. The Pirate attack doesn't happen in this adaptation, in part because that fight could easily be an hour or two long on it's own, thus they broke it down to two important fights. Luffy vs Kuro, and Zoro vs the 'Nyaban' Brothers (both 'cat pirates' zoro fights in this episode are males in the anime/manga version, though in this adaptation they seemed to have changed one brother into a sister, so more like the Nyaban siblings in this case). Oh and a couple of things that are different between the Anime version and this, Syrup village isn't known for it's shipbuilding, that wasn't a thing in the anime/manga. The ship actually belonged to Merry, he designed the ship, (Merry also survives Kuro's attack in the Anime/manga adaptation), in response to defeating Kuro, Merry and Kaya gift the ship to Luffy and his crew. Also in the anime/manga adaptation, Buggy and Arlong have absolutely ZERO interaction, the whole point of changing this aspect of the show bringing in Arlong so early, and yes it's early to be introducing Arlong, by the anime/manga's standards. Netflix only had 8 episodes to make this work, and they're trying to squeeze in something like 60 Anime episodes worth of content and context into these 8 episodes, not an easy thing to do. So the reason Buggy was sitting there and taking it was because they needed to create a smoother introduction of Arlong and (rightfully) introduce him as the big bad of the season. But BaddMedicine is correct in that there's very little Arlong could do to Buggy to actually hurt him, but they needed an excuse to bring Arlong in, and to keep buggy in the world as well so they didn't leave everything that happens to him off screen. Though this resulted in a lot of story changes, the spirit of the story largely remains the same.
Just a great time watching it again with you guys , grew up with one piece and has such good comedy, action and surprises puts a smile on your face, makes you wonder what will happen and makes you want more. Always a great time with you guys 🙌
Interesting to see, how fascinated you already are from this whole world building. The strength of the show is, that Netflix NAILED the adaptation of the anime. Yes, they made some certain changes to accelerate the pace. Mainly cutting some side characters, and therefore changing some plot points here and there (or actually showing things way earlier). But besides that, it almost is like the manga/anime. Like on a shockingly precise level, with many little hidden details. (Besides: my favorite three roles in this whole season haven't even shown up yet. And that's because these 3 are playing their anime counterparts PERFECTLY. Like it can't get any better and they even elevate some scenes.) Hell, they even have the same voice actors from the Anime on languages like Japanese or German. It's crazy good, since the actors are all fitting very very well. So the show actually attracts fans and "newcomers" alike. Nice.
Loving your reactions and questions, the possibilities are endless here, so keep them coming. The author mind is pretty wild lol. I've been a fan of One Piece for more than 10 years now, and it is surprising how I keep on learning from this show. After all the fascination around the snail phones, from the people just starting this journey, I've decided to research a bit and found there is actually a story behind them. In the 1850s a French"scientist" believed that snails create a permanent telepathic link when they mate (Called it Pasilalinic-sympathetic compass)... I believe this is where the author took some inspiration
This episode was very, very interesting! A lot of moving parts in this one. That ending has us wanting MORE!!!! What was your reaction? What did we miss?

kuro does not have a devil fruit he just has a "technique"
The game they were playing is Japanese game called Go
The game is Go. It’s a very old board game, the asian world’s version of chess.
Usopp's name is a play on words. Uso is lie in Japanese.
Hey guys some quick facts!
1. Every Island has a different level of isolation and progress, hence why the technology levels are very inconsistent in the show.
2. This season covers the first 45 episodes of the anime, with some plot structure changes.
3. Usopp is based off both Pinnochio and Aesopp from his fables. He tells stories to entertain and shake up his village. A big difference between this and the manga/anime is Usopp has 3 kids who are his "crew" of the "Usopp pirates".
4. Season 1 is just thr prologue. The plan for the show is 6 seasons currently, but if the show stays successful, it would be around 12 seasons total or so.
5. The current large sea we are in the East Blue is very large but very safe and normal. The Grand Line circles the planet along the Equator. It is an isolated strip of extremely dangerous islands, both civilized and wild.
The clothing is taken directly from the manga, the crew is always super fashionable and changing outfits usually depending on location haha
also one piece world is no like "old pirate times" its more lot of isolated islands with huge "progress gradient" among them. some ancient up to dinosaurs and tribal culture some semimodern. and ofc all this spread across with sailors. so makeup, printed t-shirts and neon signs in sorta middle ages pirate age setting are common
That's not entirely true ... in the manga itself, they wear the same stuff most of the time (can change depending on weather/climate) ... but what they wear on the cover pages, that changes almost every new volume and that's where the outfits are from ^^

Luffy: Believes in himself
Zoro: Believes no one
Usopp: No one believes him
Nami: You shouldn't believe her.
But Zoro believes Luffy! That's why he's following him. Just the way Zoro looks at Luffy anytime he says "I'm a different kind of pirate" or "I'm finally making my dream a reality".. Luffy gives Zoro hope to possibly achieve his own dream one day. That's how optimistic Luffy is.. Someone as great as Zoro actually believes in him and is willing to follow him.

One thing that is apparently a trend in this is that Zoro has a terrible sense of direction. I guess he always gets lost. When he says he's looking for a drink and that the house is a maze to Luffy it's part of the joke.
Zoro has no sense of direction, NONE. He can literally get lost going down a straight corridor😅

he literally have been lost direction on a single path on middle of the water more than once in the anime
Seriously.Its way worse North vs.East or West...left, right,even up and down ..😂😂
Man literally doesn't understand the concept of right and left. Its canon and has happened in the anime more than once lol
To clarify: Kuro/klahador does not have a devil fruit. It’s not really clear in the live action, but he is just really fast.
"light on his feet like a cat" 😅😊
He knows a primitive version of "Soru" a superspeed technique used by higher level fighters more prominent later on the the story.
Yeah. It seems unclear in live action but anime characters do become superhuman naturally. Unless it's some kind of weird power like turing into fire entirely and not like just super strength or speed, assume that it's NOT because of a Devil Fruit.
They don't show Shanks swim in episodes 2 I've seen people assume he has a devil fruit when he doesn't
I believe the showrunner decide to make it vague so more mystery to the characters and interesting for new audience to speculate and looking forward for their strength explained in future episode.
If a character have a devil fruit power, the show will immediately tell u.
Klahadore is just super fast by training
Such a shame that they didn't name the pussy foot
Spoiler I guess
My personal theory after watching this reaction and others as well as the anime before is that he's adapt in Shave, one of the 6 powers of CP9.
@@officialnoonon I always thought that too, but at the same time he doesn't use it well enough to attack accurately. So he definitely hasn't mastered it.
@@officialnoononI think Oda confirmed in an SBS that it's an imperfect form of Shave
He's swift like cat
Seriously, Helmeppo's actor did such an amazing job with his character. Big shout out to him.
And his new haircut is actually much closer to his original style. I was wondering how they could pull it off bc it didn't look like it could be real but they did it. 😂
he's the character that's both the best acted and closest to the original content
@@Babawzebest acted sure, but mihawk is literally mihawk. There is no actor, bro just decided to leave the anime/manga
I think they get inspiration from a later version of Helmeppo where he does have long hair and add extra scenes to make it short like his intro weak character
Mackenyu as Zoro really is great casting. He exudes badass energy and he can fight for real given he’s Sonny chiba’s son.
Really? I can’t stand him. Doesn’t feel like zoro at all. Zoros a menacing goofball. Not just and edgy, one note badass.
I agree with you 😊 The whole casting was really good
I like him as Zoro, sure they wrote him a bit more closed off than in anime, but it works in live action. Also when he finally smiles it counts even more.
He's still a goofball. Just not over the top like in the manga/anime. That wouldn't translate well to live action.
@@procrastinator547doesnt feel like zoro at all? I understand feeling its a slightly different Zoro but to say hes not like zoro at all is ridiculous, hes literally using the same lines he uses from the manga for a large portion of the show..
I think you misunderstood the comments, the whole live action is 8 episodes which resembelse more or less the first 40 episodes of the anime
they should also note that anime episodes are usually only 20 mins
Watching four ultra muscled dudes react to a story I've been passionate about for more than ten years is fascinating lmao I adore your reactions to it. About the aesthetic and clothing : the manga is filled with pop culture references, in clothes, names etc (like the Freddy Krueger gloves) so it's all very unique, and not set in a specific time period, which is one of the reasons the manga got so popular : you never know what you'll get. They have SNAIL PHONES, for crying out loud lol.
Can't wait for more of your reactions, it's always fun and interesting !
This series has been awesome so far! We appreciate you watching with us 🤙
agree
@@BaddMedicine I really hope you watch the anime you will love it so much, your reactions are amazing🔥🔥
I love how you guys ask the questions at the start of the episodes and by the time the episodes end it's all answered. Shows great writing from the show runners. Just love it!
Fun facts:
Usopp's name is a combination of the Japanese word uso, which means lie, and Aesop, an story writer from ancient Greece who wrote fables.
Also in the original manga/anime Usopp has a long nose reminiscent of Pinocchio. But I totally get why they didn't add it in the live action since it would look goofy.
I also can't help but think it'd get distracting. Especially for his actor.
They did give his title card skull a long nose, though.
There are also japanese yokai depicted with long noses.
I dunno if that's an intentional reference but I wouldn't put it past Oda.
Fun fact about the clothing:
While they don't change their clothing as often in manga/anime, all of costumes Straw Hat crew wore in this Live Action are from the manga chapter cover pages and splash arts the author, Eiichiro Oda, drew by himself.
I'm SO HAPPY to see so many non anime watchers enjoying One Piece and by proxy, getting to know what anime/manga has to offer. As you said, it's SO different from western media, just WAIT until you see Nami, Zoro's and more of Luffys backstory (plus, we haven't been introduced to my favourite character yet- Sanji the liberally ass kicking chef ^^)
EDIT: First time I've come across you guys, and your laughs are so infectious I not only binged all your One Piece reactions, I also had to keep rewinding to rewatch your reactions to certain parts. You've Earnt this new sub ❤

If you remember in the Luffy flashbacks Yasopp is the guy in Shanks crew with the 2 guns who's extremely accurate.
Also devil fruits are extremely extremely rare so if they didn't say it this person doesn't have devil fruit powers. Just another powers through training that will be explained later.

I love Kaya and Usopp's relationship. She doesn't treat him as a terrible liar, more like a passionate guy who loves to tell stories to spark imagination. ❤️
I feel so bad for Usopp in this episode. He spent his whole life waiting for a chance to be in adventures with his father, and admires him a lot. And Luffy had those chances.
Yeah, his reaction to Luffy meeting his dad was really well done. It was just a little bit of jealousy.
@@AuspexAOYeah that was an expert piece of acting. Like he was excited to hear stories of his father, but also sad that he wasnt a part of them
I took his reaction as excitement and awe. It bonded him to Luffy and the crew
for the wide angle shots .i think they wanted the audience to feel what its like to read a manga,lots of manga shots here in the series,they really adapting the manga in every aspect
Wholeheartedly agree. The way they use the camera really helps capture that anime/manga feel and really adds to the viewing experience. Such a unique treat
@@SakuraPixie yeah..like when the first episode they fought morgan they did the split eyes shot,thats what manga does,overtime
It was strange, made the beautiful set behind them look fake
@@meatbleed yeah i know it kinda weird a little..but again this is manga adaptation,they wanted the audiences to feel the manga viewing experience,and i bet thats oda's idea so people who dont know anything about anime/manga can actually relate if they want to start watching the anime/read manga
100%
A note about Kuro's speed, in the show they didn't really have time to explain this but Kuro, the main villain of the episode, is not using a Devil Fruit power. He's actually using a specific technique that has a lot of limitations. When he uses it, it makes it difficult to see or move with precision so he can only really push or slash while using the technique. He doesn't have a superspeed power or anything. This will make the fight in the next episode make more sense as a lot of people who watch only the live action, often wonder why he just doesn't use super speed all the time.
Possibly a small correction. I've interpreted it, and have seen other people comment this, that Kuro has control over his speed except for when he uses his Out of the Back (Shakushi) attack. That's when he goes so fast that he can't control his trajectory.
Oh really? My personal theory was that he's using Shave from CP9.
@@cosesu8929 He has some control but its not as refined as Shave. Shave is far more precise and controlled. His Out of the Back attack is the slashing equivalent of closing your eyes and doing a spray and pray with a machine gun. It's been a while since I've seen or read the original Syrup Village, but from what I remember it was pretty clumsy especially compared to Jet or Shave. It gave Luffy a little trouble but not much even back when he was as inexperienced as he was in Syrup Village.
@@officialnoonon Oda has actually explained that Kuro was indeed using shave, but in a rudimentary form. Just like with practically every non-DF ability up until Sabaody. It all may be Haki-based
@@officialnoonon that's actually the most accepted consensus. What he was using was a rudimentary form of Shave
If you remember from the earlier episode with captain Morgan, you guys noticed scars on his arms. Captain Kuro was the one who gave morgan those scars and busted up his face.
Kuro also tricked Morgan into believing he was killed by Morgan, which morgan used to prop up his reputation and career. You can briefly see Kuro's wanted poster in the safe when they take out the map because it's the pinnacle of his career. That's why he is called Kuro "of the thousand plans", he uses intricate plans (and a special crew member left out in this series) to survive.
I love seeing reactors constantly guessing what's gonna happen and get it wrong the majority of the time. It's great. Also again, you guys will see, everyone with powers is not a devil fruit user, they usually tell you if they do and it's usually a 'unique' ability.
Love you guy's reaction to the show so far, just a little correction on whats covered, the whole first season covers up to roughly episode 45, with some differences sprinkled along the way
With regard to Buggy not splitting when captured by Arlong’s crew: One Piece has this thing called Seastone, special handcuffs used to arrested pirates with Devil Fruit powers.
I haven’t noticed if buggy was handcuffed but the properties of whatever was tying him might be made from a seastone.
Coming into contact with Seastone has the same effect on a Devil Fruit user as falling into the sea, it will drain the Devil Fruit user of their stamina and nullify their powers.
I love how instantly you all distrusted Kuro. They just plain nailed it with all the casting here. Also, interesting change from the manga here. There it's never explicitly said that he was poisoning Kaya to keep her sick and easier to control, but that was a very common fan theory. Given that the manga writer, Oda, had near total creative control of things, him letting them add that pretty much confirms that he was doing this.
Loving your reactions and how much you all are into this show!
The fact that the director of LA action asked Oda if they have electricity in OP world and that made Oda think but he eventually said yes. that's why they added a lot of lightings.
Actually, Devil Fruits are quite rare in the East Blue, and Klahadore didn't possess a Devil Fruit power. Having super strength or speed doesn't necessarily indicate that someone has a Devil Fruit power.
The author of the boy who cried wolf is Aesop, so Usopp is the playword on that, "Uso" means lie in japanese
This series surprised me so much in a positive way im stocked to see what you think about the 8 episodes so far!
Interesting subtle details :- Kuro fixes his glasses the same way even without the claws. Old habits.
Axe-hand Morgan really caught the Kuro, but his imposter..that was touched a bit more in the manga/anime. Kuro had a Hypnotist in his crew, so Morgan was hypnotised in believing thats Kuro.
The Hypnotist was cut from the script, else he played a good part in also trying to Hypnotise the sick girl to write the will...along with the comedy.
Small but fun detail you may have missed was the way Klahadore adjust his glasses. It looks funny when he's just wearing gloves, but it's a habit he developed so he wouldn't cut himself with his own claws.
Yes the world is like that in the manga/ anime as well.
They did a great job adapting it.
The game that Garp and Coby are playing is called Go. It's 6000 years old and from China but is huge in Japan. Othello is a modern version of a game called Reversie from 1831 and is probably a western interpretation of Go.
They play Go and the playing pieces are called stones. According to Wiki, the players take turns placing their stones on the vacant intersections on the board. When a game concludes, the winner is determined by counting each player's surrounded territory along with captured stones and komi (points added to the score of the player with the white stones as compensation for playing second).
To be fair, they recognized it as Othello, which is another name for Go.
@@kevinb5417 Just no. Othello is a completely different game from Europe. Go is an Asian game and around 4000 years older...
@@benediktmathes2528 I may be incorrect about that. I've seen Go referred to as Othello many times, but I've never played it myself so if I'm wrong then that's entirely my bad.
@@kevinb5417they look similar but they are definitely different games.
@@Segmented Well as I said, that's my bad. I learned something today.
In one piece, there is no time or era it is set in. They have everything from pre historic islands with dinosours and tribals to futuristic islands. So since pirates move through all islands, they use all kinds of techs including TVs. Also the techs are different from our world,like the snail phone. Those snails apparently have telepathic abilities and are caught and domesticated to be used as transponders and they are willing to work thus in exchange for food. They are called transponder snails / den den mushi. They can also record videos, so people can livestream.
just a heads up, when character didn't mention Devil Fruit after showing their skill, they never ate it. that's just their pure skill.
so Klahadore just doing fast anime move.
So, if you eat a Devil Fruit you become a vegan.
Zoro: "Gonna rob the place blind?"
Nami: "At least a little blurry."
I love that line so much 😂
It's halarious
A good rule to remember is if the enemy doesn’t call out their attacks, like gum gum or chop chop, its a good chance they dont have a fruit
... uhm... Sanji?
sanji and usopp seem to be the exception to that
Sanji and Usopp are an exception because of Luffy.
Close. The rule is more that devil fruit eaters will always tell you what fruit they ate and exactly what it does. All great fighters call out their finishing moves, not just devil fruit users.
I love you guys' raw reactions a lot! looking forward to more.
🤜🤛
@@BaddMedicine I thought Episode 3&4 was lame. It was the worst arc even in the original anime. Not even the showrunners could make it good.
Devil fruits are pretty rare. A lot of people just have skills and techniques through training. Kuro doesn't have one, he can just dash around, but not that well. He has to regain his balance after the dash, and can't see while he is doing it. Otherwise he would just kill everyone. I love how he adjusts his glasses. That is really iconic to the character. Before it is revealed who he really is, he kept adjusting his glasses with the palm of his hand. Then you see here who he really is and why he did that, because he is used to adjusting his glasses with the blades on his gloves.
As someone who has been keeping up with One Piece since I was maybe 12, it is such a joy to watch people experience One Piece. Hearing the theories and everything else, knowing when you're gonna be surprised or not and seeing how much fun you're having experiencing it. Welcome to the crew y'all :D
Captain Kuro doesnt have a devil fruit. He’s using a technique called “Nukiashi” (Stealth Foot) which allows him to move fast and stealthy, obtained through training.
Regular people in One Piece can reach varying levels of superhuman strength, speed and durability through training (or talent) alone.
About the clothing, most of the main characters outfits are taken from manga cover or chapter color spreads, just a little fun fact to make you understand how deep these directors went to connect the world and give the fans some winks while also keeping the fun and goofy world that is one piece by having this mix of old and new types of clothes and technological disparities.
The props used in the live action are reflecting the Anime / Manga and even though it might not fita "traditional" pirate story this is a world Eichira Oda is building and the further the story progresses the more of it is actually explained / put into context of the world itself. Oda is a master of world building and making things that may appear incoherent at first actually make sense much like he flashes out his caharacters and giving them motivation.
"Another Devil Fruit !" No, not for him, he just moves very fast 😊
42:33 Their outfits are actually impressive because they took it from different cover pages of the manga. Sure, it can be weird and random at some new audience but we appreciate it because we felt the love, passion and impressive detail from the production team... there's a youtuber actually who breakdown these details or "easter eggs" but don't watch it yet if you haven't finished the series
Kuro/Klahadore did not eat a Devil Fruit. It is a technique taught within the Marines that you guys will probably learn about later called “Soru/Shave” that allowed users to move really fast but Kuro was still too inexperienced in the manga that he could not see where he was jumping most of the time.
it's not a period piece. it's a whole different world with its own fashion and mix of technology
Luffy for 23 years of my life, just like watching all of you, is so positive you can't help but smile through badd times.
Thank you all for the consistent grind!
I see what you did there! 😁🤜🤛
He really does bring joy to the mind
@@BaddMedicine
The core story is about rising throughout the world with your friends dreams as a team.
Just like you are doing at Badd Medicine. Becoming more notorious. You will be Kings of TH-cam!!!
Just discovered this channel today and loved watching all three of the one piece reacts so far
Also Usopp wasn’t lying about Pirates coming. When he said they were coming the ship he saw was the butler and his crew
As a one piece fan, I'm very happy that this live action show is doing well and getting people that don't watch anime to enjoy it. There are a lot of great animes that so much of the population doesn't know about because they can't get past the bias that anime is for kids because it is drawn.
So much fun watching you four discover the world of ONE PIECE (this was my entry into the world as well and I wrote my college entrance essay about how one anime character and myself were similar and my university thesis was on the relationship between Japanese women language and Shojo (made for girls) manga) as well as anime in general. So appreciative of how open you four always are to stepping out of your comfort zone with content ❤ looking forward to sailing the rest of the way with this crew
Letsss goo with a new episode with one piece
@Badd Medicine,
2:49 Their world isn't our world, so I wouldn't worry much about modern things from our world being in theirs. Their oceans and maps are of some other world and some other time that has nothing to do with ours =)
31:59 Exactly, they are members of the Black Cat Pirates. Buggy and his pirates doubled down on their clown/circus themes, right? Well, the same thing is happening here with Kuro and his lot. Kuro's claws, speed, personality, etc. are cat-like.
35:01 And now you know why Usopp did what he did. He grew up without a family or a parent figure really. His father was a pirate, a member of Shanks' crew, Yasopp the sharpshooter you saw in episode two, and since they went to the Grand Line, they can't return. Usopp's mother is like Kaya sickly, which is probably why Usopp is drawn to her. Usopp truly believed that if his father returned his mother would get better and that he could finally be like all the other children on the island who grew up with a family.
It seems pretty clear that Usopp grew up with his delusions of grandeur and he can't let them go because that's all he's got--everyone else on the Island hates him ='( Kaya at least fancies his stories, since she's sickly and has no friends of her own, Usopp's stories allows her to live adventures outside her estate. Both of their stories are very sad.
35:12 No, he doesn't. He lives in his own prison of his own mind. Usopp needs to leave and have actual adventures so that he can actually start living.
Would like to add that there are people in this universe who are super fast/strong but isn't a result from a devil fruit but just from your typical anime/manga training. Hard to kinda depict the differences, especially with a show like this being adapted to live action, but figured I would add that tid bit. There is a bunch of supernatural stuff that can take place but not all of it is the result from the devil fruits.
The game Koby and Garp are playing is called Go - Nash plays it in A Beautiful Mind, and it’s featured in a key scene in the film Knives Out too. Incidentally, there’s a really good anime from around the same time ONE PIECE started called Hikaru no Go that was all about Go and is surprisingly thrilling for a show about a board game~
You guys have opened yourselves up to a whole new world of fans. I wouldn't be surprised if these become your most viewed videos.
Yeah, I like that they were able to get 30 episodes into 8 without it feeling forced. I am a big fan of the Live Action and I have high hopes for ATLA
21:22 Usopp is lucky, Luffy damn near Rizzed up Kaya! The Charisma is immaculate 🫡
One Piece world-building is truly amazing. From devil fruits to snail-phones. The places the crew is visiting early on are more rural, but electricity does exist in One Piece, but it's not readily available to all people. Mostly because most of the world is water and everyone lives on separate islands.
Yeah this first season ends at episode 61 in the anime. So they flying through the story but it still works really well and gets the points across you need to know. I like to think of it like Spark Notes of the anime. Also, idk if anyone else in the comments have said but Coby is playing by a guy who transitioned from a girl. He played the part perfectly as well. Coby vibe is 100% there. Another thing is in the anime we didn't get this Garp and Coby relationship. Coby was just gone for about 150 episodes and shows up with Garp.
The reason why Kuro doesn't attack when he dashes is because he's dashing too fast for him to control his body. In the manga he accidentally hits everything including his own crew.
I think what’s so great about One Piece is even though the main “magic” thing of the series is devil fruits immediately it holds off on making EVERYONE a devil fruit person and goes “here’s fish people, and random people who just are Really fast or Really Really strong”.
There are differences between the anime and live action, but the differences make sense that could have happened. Also not all special abilities are from devil fruits.
💜🧡💙 "Merry had a little lamb" 🤣 Also, the game that Garp & Koby play is called Go.
One thing you guys touch on here is why I love one piece so much.
A rule of storytelling isn’t that the world has to make sense. It’s that the world and characters have to make sense within the established confines of the story’s reality.
One Piece has an overarching theme of freedom and that applies to the entire world. The world of One Piece makes no sense but to the characters within; it absolutely does.
Coby and Garp were actually playing an old Japanese abstract game called "Go!".
Fun fact: Luffy asking if he ship if it can talk is a nod to a future arc where they kind of hear the ship talking
Kuro just has superhuman speed from training himself. A lot of characters just have traditional superhuman traits, like super strength or super speed. Devil Fruit powers are rarer, and border on the _absurd._
In the One Piece universe there are people who does have super powers without necessarily eat a Devil fruit, the show will clearly say when a Devil Fruit user appears, Luffy and Buggy clearly said on early episodes.
Also the pirate crew names usually describe some superpowers/characteristics of the crew,
the Black Cat Pirates for instance, as the name say, they have "cat characteristics", (Fast, silent, well groomed, etc..)
that's why they were hissing when Usopp was running, and the buttler is so well groomed that Mason said that he looks like plastic.
some other crew names are funny to see how they were presented on the Anime/Manga.
If you noticed in episode 2 in the beginning, when nami opened the safe, along with the map, there is a wanted poster rolled up with a clear name of Kuro and a bounty of 16,000,000 berry bounty, when nami picked up the map, you can see zoro picking up the scroll but was not shown that zoro opened it... so you can see here that zoro is skeptical of Klahador a.k.a. Kuro...
Also, during in episode 1, when captain morgan's arm was shown with scars, that is from kuro, and saying he killed kuro which was a lie, thus keeping his bounty on the safe...
And another thing: if you noticed the way Kuro fixes his glasses, he uses his palm, it became a habit because during the time he was still a captain, he always use that cat claw gloves so when he fixes his glasses, he used his palm...
Again, not all characters you see here are devil fruit user, in One Piece world, people can attain abilites and skills through rigorous training, there are people who are more stronger than devil fruit eater...
Sonny Chiba’s son nails it as Zoro. It’s probably why he got paid the most, that and he’s also doing fight choreography. EDIT: And it’s sad most folk don’t know a Go board when they see one. It’s a pretty old game, older than even chess!
The game Koby and the Vice Admiral are playing is called "Go" it's pretty popular in Japan!
Can't wait for you guys to continue with One Piece Series since episode 3, if you guys continued I will watch your clips for sure.
The game garp and corby are playing is called Go in japan, wei qi in china and Baduk in Korea. People like to compare it to chess, but it is a whole lot more abstract and complex than that. You can learn the rules in a matter of minutes, but it will take you a lifetime to get good at the game.
The goal here is to claim territory on the board and exert influence from it. You need to strike the right ballance between not outstretching beyond your means and securing what you already have, because territories can be lost and stones taken. I'd say it takes the average person about a month of playing daily to start using their heads in this, so Corby beating Garp, a man with a significant amount of life experience in a speed game, which relies heavily on experience , is a testament to how quick his mind and intuition works.
It's a game that requires you to think 10 steps ahead. and because it is so abstract, in multiple variations. Unless Garp is really terrible at it, he should have tore corby a new one. There would have been no stone of his left on the board.
28:20 The synchronized sit up of suspicion.
Regarding Garp sounding/looking familiar, he was Leonidas' spartan captain in 300. Amazing casting!!!
Really
The seagulls work as newspapers deliver
2:48 These guys are not ready to see Robots and Cyborgs 🤣🤣
I think it would be fun to see after each episode, look up what the characters that get introduced look like in the manga/ anime, and get your thoughts or reactions, I did this with my step dad and he found it hilarious and interesting. He felt it made more sense seeing them like that and thought it was interesting how they kept it as close as possible
Yassop, Ussop's father is the one of the Shank's crew in the flashback who ricochets the bullet

Luffy and zoro are one of the strongest characters in one piece anime
You mean in the crew? Wdym in the one piece anime there are many stronger than them🤣
If they were the strongest in one piece it would generally be a lot more boring because they’d always win easily against any foe
@@MrHeroletI said “one of” not “THE” strongest, reread it
@@Andrew-qi7wc yh but even then thats wrong for like.... 80% of the episodes. I'm saying its easy misunderstand what you mean by that, if you said they BECOME one of the strongest, ok. But to non anime viewers theyll think that in anime they'reone of the strongest while in LA they're portraid as weak which is not true
@@MrHerolet and? luffy and zoro are one the strongest characters in one piece
All the islands in One Piece have their own separated time periods, some are further along than others so this is why all the clothes and people are so VASTLY different and clashing.
That, and this is just a really fun manga with a creator who loves making unique character designs that stand out.
I haven't seen the anime but I love the creativity of the different outfits.
@@cynicalperson161 all the outfits the straw hats wear are from different cover pages and art in the manga!
@@beanzaru That's good to know, sticking to the source material always works out well.
the cool thing about Usopp's character is that he is supposed to be the one that your average person can relate to because he's the most human. he doesn't have flashy powers, he wants to run away whenever they're in danger, and his shortcomings are more obvious to the audience. because of that, people tend to think he's annoying in the beginning of the story, but that also makes his character growth more satisfying in the long run, especially when he has some BADASS moments wayyyy down the line (fingers crossed netflix doesn't cancel this after two seasons).
The wide angle lenses are used to mimic the fisheye perspective that Oda often uses in the manga.
So fun fact, in the manga the whole Black Cat Pirate Crew shows up invading the island when Kuro decides to drop the act. This obviously gets cut, and the acting captain is a guy who when not working for Kuro hangs out on Mirror Ball Island. But Kuro is saying he doesn’t go there, and we don’t see them here. Just a dumb little in joke
But it made me smile.
17:48 Koby is like the Grandson Garp always wanted
For some context for those who are confused or didn't catch it.
But Kuro is the same name that Axe-hand Morgan said he 'defeated' in order to become famous and in the position he was in.
Oh don't get me wrong Axe-hand Morgan wasn't lying, he truely believes he defeated Kuro, the problem with the Netflix adaptation is that a character in the manga/anime, named Jango, hypnotized Morgan to believe he defeated and captured Kuro.
Some spoilers ahead, so don't read further if you don't want anything spoiled.
However in this adaptation that's largely over looked, in part due to the limited time they were stuck with as Kuro's plan involved a violent 'Pirate attack' on the town to Kill Kaya instead of poisoning her. Kaya was a sickly girl in the manga/anime, but it wasn't due to poison. The Pirate attack doesn't happen in this adaptation, in part because that fight could easily be an hour or two long on it's own, thus they broke it down to two important fights. Luffy vs Kuro, and Zoro vs the 'Nyaban' Brothers (both 'cat pirates' zoro fights in this episode are males in the anime/manga version, though in this adaptation they seemed to have changed one brother into a sister, so more like the Nyaban siblings in this case).
Oh and a couple of things that are different between the Anime version and this, Syrup village isn't known for it's shipbuilding, that wasn't a thing in the anime/manga. The ship actually belonged to Merry, he designed the ship, (Merry also survives Kuro's attack in the Anime/manga adaptation), in response to defeating Kuro, Merry and Kaya gift the ship to Luffy and his crew.
Also in the anime/manga adaptation, Buggy and Arlong have absolutely ZERO interaction, the whole point of changing this aspect of the show bringing in Arlong so early, and yes it's early to be introducing Arlong, by the anime/manga's standards. Netflix only had 8 episodes to make this work, and they're trying to squeeze in something like 60 Anime episodes worth of content and context into these 8 episodes, not an easy thing to do. So the reason Buggy was sitting there and taking it was because they needed to create a smoother introduction of Arlong and (rightfully) introduce him as the big bad of the season. But BaddMedicine is correct in that there's very little Arlong could do to Buggy to actually hurt him, but they needed an excuse to bring Arlong in, and to keep buggy in the world as well so they didn't leave everything that happens to him off screen. Though this resulted in a lot of story changes, the spirit of the story largely remains the same.
Their outfits are very true to source material.. One piece world is really a mix of everything ancient and modern..
Makes me happy seeing people enjoy this series
9:55 Go, one of the oldest board games.
Just a great time watching it again with you guys , grew up with one piece and has such good comedy, action and surprises puts a smile on your face, makes you wonder what will happen and makes you want more. Always a great time with you guys 🙌
Y'all are awesome! Thank you for doing this.
Fun fact, in the anime the butler had no plans to do anything till kaya's dad died, that is when he made his plan to take her money
Interesting to see, how fascinated you already are from this whole world building. The strength of the show is, that Netflix NAILED the adaptation of the anime. Yes, they made some certain changes to accelerate the pace. Mainly cutting some side characters, and therefore changing some plot points here and there (or actually showing things way earlier). But besides that, it almost is like the manga/anime. Like on a shockingly precise level, with many little hidden details. (Besides: my favorite three roles in this whole season haven't even shown up yet. And that's because these 3 are playing their anime counterparts PERFECTLY. Like it can't get any better and they even elevate some scenes.)
Hell, they even have the same voice actors from the Anime on languages like Japanese or German. It's crazy good, since the actors are all fitting very very well.
So the show actually attracts fans and "newcomers" alike. Nice.
Loving your reactions and questions, the possibilities are endless here, so keep them coming. The author mind is pretty wild lol.
I've been a fan of One Piece for more than 10 years now, and it is surprising how I keep on learning from this show. After all the fascination around the snail phones, from the people just starting this journey, I've decided to research a bit and found there is actually a story behind them. In the 1850s a French"scientist" believed that snails create a permanent telepathic link when they mate (Called it Pasilalinic-sympathetic compass)...
I believe this is where the author took some inspiration
