@@fleurdeliseffxiv1580 Yeah, people just eat Devil Fruits whole most of the time because it’s relatively unknown that you only need to take a bite, due to how rare they (supposedly) are.
@@jimsmith3715 yeah but i was always saw it as he was worried for him not being able to understand the consequences of his actions, luffy loved to swim as a kid so that's why shanks tells him it makes you unable to swim for the rest of your life
@@esmeraldamoreno6537Luffy was never able to swim, not sure where this idea came from. He was barred from joining Shanks and told he would just be an anchor for them because of it. Eating the Devil Fruit meant he could never learn.
@@AshyMuted In the anime they said he was a great swimmer and said that that would make him a valuable member of Shank's crew, in the manga he's unable to swim. It's a useless detail, ig they felt it added to Shank's reaction, or the fact that he immediately jumped to sea.
Very cool method! I didn't think of using the melon itself as the mold as I wanted the entire thing to be edible. Your cake looks beautiful, well done.
Can't wait to see Sanji's seafood risotto, Cuisine a la carte, Navy Curry, Big Mom Wedding cake, Sangoro soba ramen, Katakuri Giant Donuts.... the list goes on
Reminds me of a crème brûlée i got one time served inside of a pineapple. There was just enough fruit left on the inside to eat after you finished the cream part and because it had been baked and then chilled, it was extra sweet and juicy with a bit of caramelization on the edges.
If you notice, Luffy's devil fruit ability has always made comical noises and cartoonish effects. Gear 5 makes so much sense, it's strange to me that some don't see it.
I'm glad Anime with Alvin stuck around as a series. Alvin is charming and quirky, and the stuff he makes looks super well-prepared (shout out to Kendall as well). Of the many series in the BCU, I hope this one stands the test of time.
Alvin does not get enough credit for how funny he is, I love it. Him saying "I am the melon now" after placing the stick on his hand made me laugh so hard
I have to say that, even though it wasn't intentional to the video, I do like the fact that you made an extra dish so that the food doesn't go to waste, as it fits with one of the themes of One Piece.
I like that you were as creative with your scraps as Babby sometimes is with his entire dishes. Taking the trifle and doing something cool and actually tasty with it was a really neat move that I probably never would have thought of.
On one hand, having a rubber body would give me several advantages as seen by Luffys fights. On the other hand, I really like swimming and I don't want to lose that!
Another reminder for everyone to READ One Piece. One Piece is one of the best if not the best Shonen series out there. It might sounds scary with how many chapters out there, but it's worth it. Read the manga, because the Anime has big pacing issue that make the show even longer than it already is.
I just received my manga band 101 and was checking out reviews of it on youtube. Then this was in my feed and I thought it's weird that I haven't seen it before but what a surprise it's new. Super happy to watch this one now :D
*"Legends say anyone who makes and eats this devil fruit does not gain any powers, it is also said that people who eat it will not lose there ability to swim"*
I'm glad to see a recipe from One Piece! The One Piece manga just celebrated its 25th anniversary, and there's still at least 3-5 years left before the series ends!
Honestly I've been kinda iffy on whether I wanted to watch these videos (despite how much I love anime) but Alvin 100% makes these videos amazing and I am now going to binge watch all of these (which is legally the only way to refer to watching videos on this channel)
I really loved this episode, I was delighted to see the creativity you put into this project! I had no idea how one would actually make a Devil Fruit, but you exceeded my expectations and made me have fun along the way! Thanks!
I agree I would have done that and put swirly fondant design over the peeled fruit so the whole thing is edible like an apple. Probably wouldn't have been as delicious though and I know they like to go the extra mile when prepping something for more content so I appreciate them doing this instead.
that probably wouldn't have worked well with the fondant, when you add fondant to a cake you can't use an icing underneath with too much liquid in it otherwise the fondant will weep and start to melt and leak liquid sugar everywhere, and since the melon has a lot of water in it, it probably would have done the same thing, but it would have been cool if it were possible!
Thank you for introducing me to the concept of an inverted fruit cake Alvin! I didn’t even know putting a cake inside a melon was a thing/possible. It’s absolutely gorgeous.
You can't "deactivate" gelatin with boiled water. You're thinking of yeast. The problem with adding boiling water to gelatin is simply that it will clump. It's better to add cool water, combine, then heat to dissolve the yeast.
This cake turned out so cool. I might try to make one of my bestie for her birthday since she's obsessed with One Piece right now. I know a lot of people don't like fondant. I don't mind it, I liked i the first time I had it and I still don't mind it. But I saw Rosanna Pansino make marshmallow fondant a few years a go. It looked amazing. She said it tastes much better than regular fondant and it sounds delicious unless you hate marshmallows.
The anime is great but be careful that some of the episode will feel a bit dragged and also have fillers. If you don't have the time to watch all of it, google the episodes that are not fillers
My 3rd attempt to ask Alvin to make a dish from my favorite manga/anine of all time: Chuka Ichiban, pretty much the origin of Food Wars. It is an amazing manga that I read as a kid from my parents buying the Vietnamese translations of, and I would be really happy to see one of those dishes to appear in the series!
NO WAY! I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A PROPER RECIPE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR A WHOLE YEAR!!!!!!!! I remember being soo disappointed when you didn’t have one. I’m soo happy
love the video. perhaps an idea: get a larger melon, remove outer shell and seeds, and then do everything the same. this way you can eat the entire thing? ps freeze the melon if you are worried about stability.
Finally a recipe that I can follow where if I make it taste awful I can call it "authentic"
big plus if it lets me stretch out a body part to an unhealthy degree
@@davchan4423 bonus points if it’s your stomach, bc then you have an excuse for it
i mean devil fruit are suooise to taste bad
@@Sw_Rythem yes.Thats the joke.
And they will eat the whole thing despite the fact
Devil fruits are supposed to taste rlly bad so I’m glad it looks and probably tastes amazing

@@YashSingh-ey8ll Also, the first bite actually is not bad.
@@YashSingh-ey8ll probably because they want the power to themselves and or is Luffy

Alvin for the next One Piece one you should recreate Sanji's Cuisine Ala Carte
Yes!!!!
i 2nd this
i so agree.
Frankly his entire show could become a creation of Sanji's cookbook.
I thought the obvious pick would be the Whole Cake island 'everyone's favourites' bento box, but maybe that's too much work.
I always loved the fact that the first thing that concerned Shanks was Luffy, not the expensive fruit being lost, such a nice detail
I mean he doesn't show any real concern for him, he's angry and is scolding him, telling him what he's done and the consequences.
@@jimsmith3715 yeah but i was always saw it as he was worried for him not being able to understand the consequences of his actions, luffy loved to swim as a kid so that's why shanks tells him it makes you unable to swim for the rest of your life

I enjoyed your video where you tortured your wife and friend with the other devil fruits
oi
i was thinking they could peel the rind and then put on the fondant to make it 100% edible

that sounds so delicious!!!
that sounds like heaven
Could you go into the mirror world if you held onto it?
I want it
Marco must have swallowed a mirror.
instead of all fondant you should make a Ube frosting and cover the melon in that the use either fondant or dyed chcoclate for the details
Ube would be an amazing change to the recipe!
Plus you could actually bite into it
@@jolenemathews yeh, it would be tasty
Ube be bae be!
But then the whole cake would taste great. There still needs to be a tint of authenticity.

"I am the melon now" - said Alvin with the most joyful grin on his face for he was about to unleash fruity chaos all over the world -
I love this, and as a certified fruit I am now going to 100% unleash fruity chaos

Alvin never fails to amaze me with his amazing cooking skills at this point I think he can just make anything if he tried
♻️
Man this videos gonna get a huge resurgence when a certain chapter gets animated
I like that you were as creative with your scraps as Babby sometimes is with his entire dishes. Taking the trifle and doing something cool and actually tasty with it was a really neat move that I probably never would have thought of.
I think Babby is like my second favorite name after Babbles
Alvin, your skills and commitment to the bit are always so entertaining. Keep being awesome my man.
Thank you, Alvin. Now I'd like to see you make some of Sanji's cooking.
The fact that the insides are the same color as the Real gomu gomu fruit deserves some respect. 7:31
The fact that this man used an actual fruit as a base made it realistic.
On one hand, having a rubber body would give me several advantages as seen by Luffys fights. On the other hand, I really like swimming and I don't want to lose that!
I mean if i can inflate my own body y'all know what im doing first.
I can’t swim anyway, so I wouldn’t even have to deal with the downside. I would eat it in a heartbeat.
rubber body huh lol
U can still swim, just can't swim sea water
Infinite pp size tho
I super love Anime with Alvin. What a great series. Thank you Andrew and thank you Alvin! And while we’re at it, thanks, Kendall!

its so noice to see anthony fantano collaborating with youtubers outside music every now and then.
NAHHHHH 💀💀
I stared at the icon for this video in shock for 10 seconds before clicking on it haha. This is AMAZING!
Alvin taking a giant bite of fondant for entertainment value is the definition of commitment to craft.
Love how he made it authentic to devil fruits tasting horribly by using fondant. Looks amazing.
I love how you did this, it's so cool! It's sad that to be accurate to the show it'd have to taste bad, but I'm glad you went the other way with it ☺️
To be fair, if you just took a bite out of the fondant and melon rind, it would taste pretty bad 🤣
"I am the melon now" made me laugh harder than it should have
That fruit looks incredible! The amounts of effort put into that creation looks AMAZING!
One piece truly is getting to the forefront now. amazing
The best selling manga of all time really needed the extra recognition
