@@Connor-ONeill They're talking about the original work, not in live action adaptation. But if we go with rules in live action version, you can smack buggy from 2 sides, 180° of one another, it'll work. Punching him against wall or floor also could work.
20:24 - the first hit against his arm, kuina used the back edge of her sword and the second hit to the back she slapped him with the side of the sword. so, that is how swords work lol. this was actually done really well too, props to the young actors
Miss after miss with this commentary. Zoro did want to be the worlds greatest swordsman before Kuina died, they DID put an extra dose of poison in her food to kill her, Luffy just distracted her enough to where she didn’t eat it, Kuro knew that Luffy ate the poison, and Luffy was confused at the end because she called him CAPTAIN Usopp.
Yeah, this commentary ain't it. There's nothing more annoying than people who are so confident and yet so wrong about everything. How stupid do you have to be to think Kuro actually believes that Luffy is drunk and isn't just saying that because the Marines are literally right outside the door, less than 10 feet away from him? Kuro's wanted poster is locked in a safe under Morgan's desk- why would you think it's out in the open for Helmeppo to see constantly? Zoro outright says he recognizes Kuro from Funky Bar, not a poster. The screenwriters dumbed this script down enough for the people who turn their brains off when they're watching something to understand what's happening, and yet there are _still_ idiots who can't figure out what's going on unless it's spelled out for them as its happening...
You are very right. They focused so much on nitpicking nonsense in the ep that they even missed several points. This was almost unwatchable because of how much yada yada they got. I'm glad they liked it and had fun, but it was really hard to watch
Omg Thank you. One other thing I was like eyerolling was when Kuro stabbed the Wall after hearing them in the tunnel. ”He got stormtrooper aim” HE DONT HAVE X-RAY VISION, ofcours he will miss them! (Sorry for my bad writing)
Zoro only recognized kuro because he saw him in a bar one time, not because he knew he was a pirate with a bounty, didn't piece it together till he literally told him. Also that comment at the end of the episode is because she referred to Usop as "Captain Usop" before kissing him, and Luffy was like "wait, I'm the captain tho".
@@ZainKaneko That would mean Kuro made a fake one and just gave that one poster to Morgan. I think Zoro either saw it there or just knew about Kuro since he was a bountyhunter and he had a big bounty for the Eastblue.
@@dzdzan6085 sorry i misremembered. the poster was real but the "kuro" that was captured/killed was fake. as far as anyone was concerned, the real kuro was dead. so if it's just recognition, i'd agree in saying it's likely zoro looked at the poster. though he didn't actually realize klahadore was kuro until he was literally standing in front of him with his sword gloves.
Zoro wanting to be the greatest swordsman before Kuina dies is NOT a change. It actually happens in the manga on chapter 5. While Kuina is distraught about the advantages boys will have overtime, Zoro and Kuina make a promise to each other that one of them will become the greatest swordsman and duel each other for the title. This is again reiterated once she dies, where Zoro promises to carry on the mantle of the shared dream for the both of them in her memory.
@@turtleapproved3023 Yeah, couldn't finish this reaction because the misguided complaints were too much lmao. I was hoping they'd look stuff up as a refresher like they did with Mr Seven in the first episode, but oh well.
I imagine one of the reasons Kuro doesn't outright kill anyone, beside him trying to follow his plans and being a psychopath, is because Kuro is LITERALLY a cat playing with his food. Feral cats toy with and kill local wildlife without eating the prey; to the point that several bird species are endangered. Is it dumb? Maybe. But I think it adds an interesting dimension to his character.
Umm no dude, did you not see his rant about not being able to sleep in peace? Kuros plan was to kill and inherit the money and pin the blame on luffy , and then become a wealthy legitimate member of society
@blurb9319 the only chance he had was with zoro , he didn't kill zoro because he didn't know that he was dangerous, he thought the strawhat crew were just usopps friends and just ordinary dockworkers like usopp He only realized that they were dangerous after coby tells them that they raided a marine base and took down buggy He got the jump on kaya and Nami and tried to stab them but luffy intervened
Also, I reread the chapter with Zoro's origin and they're just wrong. He always wanted to be the greatest swordsman, and he never fought Kuina with three swords. It's explicitly stated that he only ever used two swords style. And their relationship was pretty one to one with the manga. I don't know where Nux got the idea they were friends, Kuina was roasting the hell out of Zoro. Honestly, rereading the manga chapter makes me appreciate the LA more.
I think he was remembering the anime adaptation where it showed the first time he challenged Kuina to a duel and he was holding a bunch of wooden swords.
37:34 Nux, as an appreciator of Dio's confrontation with Polnareff, you should be able to see through this scene. Clearly, Kuro used his uncanny speed to kick the door open, then zip back a few paces, just so he could make his grand villain entrance look cinematic enough.
Tbf, Kuro was thought to be dead three years ago, so the posters are likely gone and not widely available. Morgan kept it in a safe which Helmeppo has no access too, so he hasn't seen Kuro face in about three years and might even had only glances of it back then.
As for Helmeppo, he's already going into the situation not believing kuro is alive and refusing to because "daddy so strong" so this little butler boy CANT be Kuro.
Yes exactly! Kuro was Morgan's shame. Sure he bragged about him to keep up reputation, but the face of the man was locked in a safe and I doubt Daddy Morgan ever sat down with his son to show it to him. Helmeppo probably just had to deal with the stories over and over again without ever seeing a picture (and if he did, it's easy to forget someone's face). I wonder how many people in real life could look at a wanted poster and recognize the person 3 days later - let alone weeks, months or years. Luffy can't even remember Buggy's name xD
I feel like I’m in the minority in that I love the way Kuina died. It reminds me of Bridge to Tarabithia. Sometimes death is unexpected, sudden, and mundane. And the mundane nature of the death and lack of closure it brings makes it feel all the more tragic.
You said it. Storytelling always feels like it has to prove something. Important characters have to die important deaths. Murder, illness, combat, execution, wild animals... But like you said, real life is a bitch. Death can be mundane and insignificant. Heck, my friend's dad died basically because he fell off stairs. Kuina is basically a subversion of storytelling tropes. Also, think about how many times Luffy could've died, just in East Blue. Right at the start, the lid of his barrel wasn't water-sealed. If he toppled, if he got into bad weather, water would've gotten in and he'd die before anyone knew his name.
I think the script changed with Kuro taking a more direct approach Because well -Luffy an gang were at the mansion -marines were in the area hunting for pirates -maybe he thought if he killed her more overtly he could then place the blame on Luffy and gang
Zoro vs. Buchi and Sham was really good choreography, and I loved how the last episode ended with Usopp and Koby, but the flashback with Zoro is really good too here, but I wish Usopp got more shine though
They did try to give Kaya the final super-strong poison dose (blue soup at the dinner) but Luffy interrupted that then later ate it himself, they locked down the house just in case because the Marines were on the outside, Usopp got away and may potentially have had one person believe him and Kuro realised there was at least one other still inside, so they were likely going to kill Kaya then stage the scene to pin it on Luffy and Nami, and I'm gonna guess there's an off-screen moment or deleted scene where Usopp fills in Nami on who Klahadore is so she now knows him as Kuro, Helmeppo also probably never saw Kuro and only knows him by Axe-Hand's stories, the only time we see a Kuro wanted poster is one rolled up and kept in the Grand Line map safe
My assumption about the "lockdown house" was that this was a security feature her parents installed...a house-wide panic room, in effect. I mean, they were a) filthy rich and b) living in a world where pirate raids are a thing. That Kaya doesn't seem surprised it exists goes along with this. But Kuro deducing what locks people *out* also locks people *in* fits with his whole "thousand plans" character.
Lol I think the main reason for the singular setting is.... They actually built the ships! Which had to cost soooooooo much money. Not a lot left over for additional sets after that. Future seasons will probably expand on it more because now that huge expense is done and they'll have the ships and can just update or even change old ones like alvidas slightly to make new ships for way cheaper, leaving more money over for special effects and additional set design
You gotta remember, Zoro is "I'll just carry this safe that even Luffy can't carry, with one arm"-strong, so it's not just being lifted by "just a guy" haha.
I feel like the reason kuro decided to kill Kaya was because that was his plan b. His original plan was to have Merry give him ownership of Kaya's shipyard and then wait for her to die from her illness. That way, no one would question it and it would all look natural. But then Merry refused and so kuro resorted to plan b. And the reason for this could be that he was losing patience. He's a notorious pirate who's been pretending to be a butler for at least 3 years, at some point he was bound to lose his shit. And if he just straight up murdered Kaya everyone in the town would be immediately suspicious of him. And another thing, the reason why helmeppo doesn't recognise kuro was because he was "defeated" at least 3 years ago. I don't think most people would remember or cared what he looked like after 3 years.
The reason it took all three of them to use the wheel was because it was all rusted out; the one Kuro used was in the foyer, so it was being maintained. They're using the one in her parent's bedroom, which hasn't even been entered in three years!
There's a lot of things you missed because you weren't paying attention xD. At the end there, the reason why Luffy asks if they know he's the captain, it's because Kaya said that she expected to hear all of the real adventures of Captain Usopp xD.
"Random knife" = letter opener. Expected on a writing desk. But great work pointing out all the little plot holes, and the big ones. Still love it though.
As much as Kuina suicide theory might be interesting its still better with the stair. Death can be unexpected and Kuina not giving up her dream after the talk with Zoro inspires Zoro to take up her sword as well as her dream.
Not in OP. The stairs as an "well death can be the dumbest most unexpected thing" does not work for this story. People don't always even die to explosions. We have got to stop the copium.
I got a theory that Shiryu visited Shimotsuki Village looking for Wado Ichimonji and killed Kuina over it but the sword was taken away from Shiryu and he ended stealing one of Old Man Shimotsuki other great grade swords
there's a lot of emphasis about captain kuro's zooming around like it's out of character, but isn't it supposed to emulate what the "Pussyfoot maneuver" was? I doubt they'd show his feet scuttling 10 steps a second in a live action, so the zooming around sort made perfect sense to me. Yeah, it looks goofy, but I recognized what they were going for immediately. Not really understanding how that is a negative point outside of how funny it can look to try to make extreme speed work in a live action set.
It's funny that in each episode Nux has to make a reference to the manga, make a mistake in some way, and that the comments have to correct it. It's a rule now, if it doesn't happen in the rest of the series I'll feel bamboozled.
To be fair that poster was in Morgan's safe. I'm quite sure Helmepo never had access to that and we saw their "dynamic" both in the anime and here. It'd make sense that Helmepo only heard the story but never saw the bounty
Kuro DID try to just poison her, but Luffy kept fking that plan up. First by stopping her at dinner and then by eating the rest of the poison. By the time hes just planning to stab her he knows at least one pirate is in the house that knows his real plan and that the marines are literally knocking on the door. Hes being forced to do it fast and sloppily. The blast doors is because he cant risk any more witnesses/victims getting out/escaping.
I'm pretty sure they closed the blast doors to keep Kaya from escaping. The situation was already getting out of control, so he decided to seal her in and keep everyone outside to be safe. He could obviously come up with whatever lie he needs afterwards. Also, I will defend Kuina's death till I fall down d. stairs. It's perfect for his story.
I don't understand why people are hating on garp he may not be as laid back and chill (for now) but he still acts,treats and cares for Luffy and Coby just like he does in the anime/manga. (I've also seen some people complain about the accent and you're just wrong the accent is great)
Personally I think most of the people upset about Garp are just upset that he was revealed as Luffy's grandpa so early, whereas most anime watchers/manga readers didnt find that out till around 300 episodes/chapters in, and anyone watching/reading one piece who hasn't gotten to that point and thought they could watch season 1 of the live action since its the east blue arc, got spoiled
The fact that Nux brought up the Buggy Detachment "part" lol, and that he's actually right is still hilarious to me. Oda confirmed it and apparently he harasses people with it😂😂😂.
I don't think Kuro was _planning_ on locking down the place and stabbing her. The poison was the main plan, and he was probably going to kill her with that alone, but then people got suspicious of him, and he had to improvise.
2 Things: 1) Usopp was referred to as "Captain Usopp" by Kaya, that's why Luffy was incredulous. 2) Many ships were outfitted with cannons that faced forward or even behind the ship. In this way, it would be easier to assault enemy ships from any angle. Honestly, I would've thought that was an obvious strategy even without knowing it has been done.
Zoro didn't fight her with 3. He still used 2, but real swords that duel with her. I think he started 3 when he got her sword. Also Luffy's reaction is because she said Captain Usopp.
no man he even try to fight her with douzaine of sword at one point, we also see him lift thing with him jaw ect, (i dont remember him using 3 sword in the real sword duel though) but he definitly do with the practice sword multiple time ( i mean they duel 2001 time and zoro lose every single on of them time if i remerber corectly, he got time to try different style and train is 3sword style x)
@@KamenRamenStudios maybe idk, i've not read the manga for years, and i can be biaised be the anime tbh, but i do remember seing zoro with multiple sword in each hands and him jaw again her at some point x)
The "They do know I'm the captain right?" line is because she said she wants to hear the adventures of the great CAPTAIN Usopp before the kiss. Paying attention goes a long way to answer unnecessary questions.
He decided to go stabby stabby because of luffy , he would just tell the authorities that she was stabbed to death by the straw hat crew and will then inherit all her wealth If the strawhats weren't there he would poison her and say she died of her illness
You can tell the black cats were really feeling themselves once they put on their outfits. 3 years of pretending to be staff, they must really want to go all out at that point.
Respect Kuro he's one of my favorite underrated characters that got me into One Piece with the 4kids era of the dub, I wish he got more love and returned in the story someway even as a cameo. He was a very necessary early villain showing how let go of his dreams and forsake his crew for Kaya's inheritance. Nux is full of it he's way more memorable than Don Krieg, Wapol, or Gaimon lol He doesn't even have official figures or merch..but he deserves it. Kuro is my guy !!
@@TheGrossDemon You have no idea bro I was so gassed when I saw that new Kuro chapter cover and the color spread Oda drew for the Live Action promotion is one of my favorites! Hope we see more new East Blue art love! Don Krieg needs one next!!
I've seen a lot of Mackenyu's "walk in a circle in a cool way" in Rurouni Kenshin movie, but there, those moves look extra cool because he's fighting Kenshin Himura and Mackenyu's the villain. Their fight scenes are extra fast and amazing~
Remember in the anime all these flashbacks happened while Zorro was slipping on a oilly hill and he couldn't climb up the slope 😂 I had to sleep on it, but the well is way less embarrassing.
the fact that they dont explore the islands and only focus on a single location on it could really come back to bite them if they keep it up when they enter the grand line. because in so many of the arcs, the location itself adds appeal. like water 7, or skypeia, or sabaody. you can still tell the story, but you are really missing out if the location isnt given the focus it gets in the manga. in one piece, the fantastical nature of the world itself is a selling point.
R.I.P. Merry which is interesting that they killed him off which might indicate that if future seasons they will officially kill off other characters, & with that kiss Shippers must be happy - Young Zoro is played by Maximilian Lee Piazza who was also Henry (iCarly), young Tim (Only Murders in the Building), & Josh (Spirited) - Kunia is played by Audrey Cymone who also is Pepper (Annie Live!), Kendra (Sydney to the Max), Emily (The Invisible Ones), & a few more - Koushiro is played by Nathan Castle who is also Carlo (Arendsvlei), Marco (Eraser: Reborn), Sean (Sumber Party Massacre), & many more - Easter Eggs in this Episode: - Zoro in the well maybe a reference to him being stuck on that hill in the manga / anime or Mihawk’s frog in the well line to him - Shimotsuki is mentioned 3 times one when we see the Village along this the Shimotsuki clan symbol on the flag, Kuina states that’s her name during her promise, & is on the map during the End Credits - I noticed this but if you look at Buchi’s face you can see that around his left eye is lighter this is maybe because of his mask / helmet - If you look at the area of the mansion that Zoro was fighting Sham & Buchi there is a painting of the Oro Jackson & images of Sea Beasts on the ceiling - When Usopp got scared by that taxidermy animal it looks like it belongs on the Island of Rare Animals - During Kunia’s funeral notice that she just like Ace had 3 sake cups - After getting the Merry both Nami & Zoro’s outfit are based on the ones they are wearing on Ch.28 color spread - As the Going Merry was sailing off you can hear “We Are!” - Usopp’s Jolly Roger is just like the one he created in the anime / manga but with one distinct difference
I think Kuro is scratching the place up and clawing stuff because it's probably little nods to "Out Of The Bag Attack" seeing as though the cats outta the bag now.
The whole thing with Zoro lifting the barriers? It was established in Episode 1 that Zoro isn't quite normal. Nami and Luffy barely lifted the safe that had the map to the Grand Line out, yet Zoro was able to lift it on his shoulder no problem. In other words, those door barricades were heavy, and a normal guy couldn't lift it, but Zoro is a badass.
My guess is.... the reason for all the extraness on Kuro's part? Raw, cathartic sadism. He's been playing that roll for so fucking long, he wants to draw things out and have fun with it.
OMG I just realized that Klahdore is like a cat toying with it's prey both when he fights Luffy and when he's going after helpless Kaya in this episode! Also seems like a massive egomaniac who would enjoy taunting others.
8:38 He probably never saw the wanted poster, since Morgan kept it locked in a safe. Though, if he knows about the Warlords, I don’t see why he never saw a *different* wanted poster of Kuro. It’s not like the one Morgan had in his safe is the only one in existence. Maybe he just never paid attention to Kuro’s wanted posters because he “knew” Kuro was dead.
i see kuro as egotistical, it explains why hes taking the time to kill her. He is savouring the fear she's giving off. He hates and anything related to her so much that he treats the house like trash. Thats just my thought process
If my memory serves, from the anime, Kaya's inspiration for becoming a doctor was to be able to patch up Usopp if he ever washed up back home with injuries needing to be tended.
I just rewatched the young Zoro challenging the dojo scene. He was told that he can use as many bamboo swords as he wants. So the took 9 swords. Three in each hands and three in his mouth. He lost one from his mouth when they bowed to the shrine, and another when they bowed to each other. Then Kuina struck him down and he stood back up with just two swords.
For those who think Kuina death was lame, I want to inform that "Falling from the stairs on purpose" is an euphemism for suicide in some Asian cultures.
I thought Kuina was murdered? She was challenged by a man to a fight and she defeated him. So the guy got his friends and they killed her. This fell in line with her father telling her that women can never beat men as Kuina was able to defeat this guy in a non-lethal 1vs1 but she couldn't defend herself against him when he got serious.
Huh...interesting theory. Why not just read the manga instead of making up weird bullshit that makes no sense? The physically strongest woman can never beat the physically strongest man. That's the way biology works. Don't blame me. @@AngelsLance
@@AngelsLance AFAIK, Oda has left the matter regarding her death open-ended to this day, and on purpose ^So we may never know whether it was actually anything more than "death from hitting her head falling down the stairs". But it was always meant to be a sudden, senseless death (which sadly, does happen)
@@yoshimasterleader Was that from the 4kids version? Im seriously shocked because aside from the "permanently injured" part, I think this is the one case where the 4kids version seems better than the original. Kuina getting ambushed by a gang lead by a guy she beat, seems better than just falling down the stais.
I feel like had they put Zoro a backstory when he fights with Mihawk and fails, it would’ve been better. Therefore giving more time to develop Ussop and introduce Jango. But since Jango was cut, hopefully we get to see him in Whisky Peak (season 2).
Yeah I too think that since it was few chapters, super summarized story then they had to put Zoro's story somewhere. I would have liked Helmeppo to have recognized Kuro from the wanted poster and was afraid to confront him so he played dumb but then Koby seeing Helmeppo all nervous to leave and that in all the vomiting of Luffy and that Koby was literally going to follow his instincts to go back because there's something doesn't add up with the butler. Then Helmeppo would admit who the old man was and then everything else with Zoro would happen and Coby since he's not strong enough would let Luffy go to confront Kuro. (I THINK it would have looked good this idea to be able to help Helmeppo's character a little bit 😅). But well I too found that Luffy comment kind of weird 😆 but maybe I comment it because of the "Captain Ussop" thing but I like to think Luffy thought he would also get a little kiss reward for saving her.... LOL!!!! it's funny. I see Kuro's behavior as him of a cat playing with his food instead of going straight for the kill. And it backfired on him 😅. Although I still see Koby as suffering because he wants to do well as a Marine, but he's weak to his opponents and after that since Luffy was the one who gave him that chance to follow his dream.
I would've really liked for Helmeppo to recognize Kuro and play dumb and try to get the marine group out of there ASAP, then after Luffy wakes up and Coby talks to him about how Luffy is not that bad of a pirate, making Helmeppo question himself. It would've served as a lesson for him, not only that his pre-conceptions of his dad were wrong, that not all Marines are as good as they appear, and a lesson on bravery, maybe after seeing Coby try to do his duty as a marine and knowing he is basically pinning the blame on Luffy and turning a blind eye on the innocent, he would feel guilt, not only for not believing in Coby and constantly teasing him, but acting cowardly, this would've served as a parallel to his little arc in the manga when he confronted his father, but at a more thematic level, basically doing the right thing when his dad picked the easier path.
About Kuro scratching the walls: With hindsight, while he may call himself "Kuro of the Thousand Plans", in the grand scheme of things, he's still just a small-time pirate in East Blue with a meager 16M bounty. Maybe his ego is just bigger than his brain.
I agree with the Kuro and Kaya character improvements. I do also think Usopp didn't have as much of his moment compared to the anime/manga (you really see him getting beaten/fighting for the village). There were definitely some cheesy moments too. Kuro's entire crew dresses like cats like...they're cheesy lol.
"I... I knew I shouldn't have left that skateboard at the top of those stairs. I was going to do a sick grind on the rail but haven't gotten around to it"
If you fall from a certain height or are a small child like Kuina still was, yes it's possible to die from falling down stairs. One false impact to someone's neck can be fatal. Also in a game I played a few years ago, you can get a bad ending in failing down some stairs because you were trying to escape your attackers. It was tragic and also you could hear the neck snapping. Not a good way to go but the death is instant. No suffering.
Though you can also die if you strike your head. That can either be instant or take a couple of days. The Japanese voice actor for Devimon in Digimon Adventure died that way. He seemed fine but then within days was gone.
@@tranatkikomi6873 Yeah that too. I think that's what happened to a few mangaka as well. Maybe that's why Oda had her death to be something similar. Only a theory though.
@@lanalewis6982 It fits though. This is a world with pirates and fruits that give amazing powers in exchange for weakness against the sea. A reminder that even the simplest things can still end a life in a grand world such as this…
5:16 when buggy performs on stage, he starts making sounds and everyone's confused but is forced to listen regardless. Then we cut to his detached privates getting some action. Somebody make a short one page comic and show it to him on uh... Websites. I keep having revise my comment to community guidelines. I literally cannot modify it any further. I can't reference any single website without having my comment deleted.
Nux not understanding One Piece lore hurt me inside Kuina "fell down the stairs" is a saying that people use when trying to hide the true cause of an injury, like "I walked into a door" when you have a black eye. She was looked down on by her own family and was made to believe she could never accomplish her life goal and most likely killed herself and the truth covered up. (The theory is that she's "gone" as said by her dad in this episode, and got amnesia, being sent off to become Tasshigi when her old life was so depressing leaving everyone else thinking she died instead for her own safety. In the Theory only one person would know what really happened and made up the stair story to hide it) And Luffy can be cut by Kuro, and is cut in the manga and anime fight too. It just doesn't cut deep because the blades bounce off and he's not a great swordsman so he can't cut him easier. Luffy has always been vulnerable to blades, it's not weird he got cut by Kuro. Also Kuro was the first character to move faster than you can see, but it was the Pussyfoot Manuever that made that work. When he did the maneuver he moved so fast he couldn't even cut what he was aiming at, so he just cut at random (Also it looked goofy, so having him get some goofy movement blur works)
I think this arc does not aply to nux's complaint of not seing the island. In the last episode we saw several angles of the village and they made an an enfasis on the shipwrighting culture on this village!
I think Kuro's plan in the live action was slowly poison Kiya over the the three years, get the docks signed over to him, and Kiya passes from her 'mysterious disease' shortly after. However, things kept mucking up the plan. Usop shows with mystery riffraff. Merry doesn't produce the papers to give him the docks. Marines show up. He was having to improvise. So it was lock down the house so no one gets in, kill everyone who isn't helping the plan (and maybe even his cronies as well), make a story for later to explain their mysterious disappearances.
In this universe they didn't say stairs, they just said an accident so it could be more ambiguious for Kuina's death. kids who do Aikido and Kendo every do many dangerous practice routines. Netflix was watchdogged by Oda to make the story a bit more generalized and believable.
I usually skip thru the parts of the reaction I know will be boring but I can't skip anything!! The funniest shit you say is too damn random. Gotta watch it all!! 😂
"Don't tell me he'll say Kuina was his only friend?!" OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH BOI... "Why do they have the doors if ANYONE can just lift them." You're forgetting it's Zoro we're talking about. The guy literally carried a metal safe in one hand. And Luffy ripped it out of the concrete in the 1st place.
For such a massive one piece fan, you've surprisingly got a few details wrong. Luffy can be hurt by anything that can cut or pierce, he can only tank blunt attacks. Kaya becoming a doctor is in the manga, even had a cover story showing her treating i think one of the kids in usopps old crew. Zoro did want to be the strongest before kuina died, her dying just fortified his resolve to do it for the both of them.
20:27 "that's not how swords work" nux nux nux. She's intentionally using the flat of the blade to not injure him.
If I remember correctly, Luffy is immune to bullets but blades can harm him and Buggy is the opposite.
Luffy resists blunt attacks , buggy resists slashing and piercing attacks
@@xblade11230 and blunt attacks if he separates the attacked body part like in episode 2.
@Connor-ONeill luffy knock him down and injured him with a punch , therefore blunt works, crushing attacks work

Luffy was confused because Kaya called Ussop “Captain Ussop.”
That’s why he said “They do know I’m the captain, right?”
honestly not sure how they missed that lmao
@@thelear7yeah like how can they miss something oblivious 🤣
Right? 😂
They missed it because they paused right before Luffy's confusion and forgot that they said captain Usopp a second before.

20:24 - the first hit against his arm, kuina used the back edge of her sword and the second hit to the back she slapped him with the side of the sword. so, that is how swords work lol. this was actually done really well too, props to the young actors

Bingo!
Yeah, this commentary ain't it. There's nothing more annoying than people who are so confident and yet so wrong about everything.
How stupid do you have to be to think Kuro actually believes that Luffy is drunk and isn't just saying that because the Marines are literally right outside the door, less than 10 feet away from him? Kuro's wanted poster is locked in a safe under Morgan's desk- why would you think it's out in the open for Helmeppo to see constantly? Zoro outright says he recognizes Kuro from Funky Bar, not a poster.

You are very right.
They focused so much on nitpicking nonsense in the ep that they even missed several points.
This was almost unwatchable because of how much yada yada they got.
I'm glad they liked it and had fun, but it was really hard to watch
Omg Thank you. One other thing I was like eyerolling was when Kuro stabbed the Wall after hearing them in the tunnel.
”He got stormtrooper aim” HE DONT HAVE X-RAY VISION, ofcours he will miss them! (Sorry for my bad writing)
Zoro only recognized kuro because he saw him in a bar one time, not because he knew he was a pirate with a bounty, didn't piece it together till he literally told him.
Also that comment at the end of the episode is because she referred to Usop as "Captain Usop" before kissing him, and Luffy was like "wait, I'm the captain tho".
His wanted poster was in the safe from Morgans office. Probably from there
@@dzdzan6085Yup, Kuro's bounty was in the safe.
@@dzdzan6085 you see the name but not the face. could've been a fake kuro that morgan thought was real
@@ZainKaneko That would mean Kuro made a fake one and just gave that one poster to Morgan. I think Zoro either saw it there or just knew about Kuro since he was a bountyhunter and he had a big bounty for the Eastblue.
@@dzdzan6085 sorry i misremembered. the poster was real but the "kuro" that was captured/killed was fake. as far as anyone was concerned, the real kuro was dead.
so if it's just recognition, i'd agree in saying it's likely zoro looked at the poster. though he didn't actually realize klahadore was kuro until he was literally standing in front of him with his sword gloves.
Zoro wanting to be the greatest swordsman before Kuina dies is NOT a change. It actually happens in the manga on chapter 5.
While Kuina is distraught about the advantages boys will have overtime, Zoro and Kuina make a promise to each other that one of them will become the greatest swordsman and duel each other for the title.
This is again reiterated once she dies, where Zoro promises to carry on the mantle of the shared dream for the both of them in her memory.
yes! and also Zoro didnt start using 3 swords until he obtained wado.
@@turtleapproved3023 Yeah, couldn't finish this reaction because the misguided complaints were too much lmao. I was hoping they'd look stuff up as a refresher like they did with Mr Seven in the first episode, but oh well.
i have always heard that size doesn't matter. in all of fighting techniques, you are taught how to overcome your opponent no matter their size.
Oh cool, thanks.
I imagine one of the reasons Kuro doesn't outright kill anyone, beside him trying to follow his plans and being a psychopath, is because Kuro is LITERALLY a cat playing with his food. Feral cats toy with and kill local wildlife without eating the prey; to the point that several bird species are endangered. Is it dumb? Maybe. But I think it adds an interesting dimension to his character.
Umm no dude, did you not see his rant about not being able to sleep in peace?
Kuros plan was to kill and inherit the money and pin the blame on luffy , and then become a wealthy legitimate member of society
@nuxanor
@@xblade11230He talking about why Kuro didn’t skewer people when he had the chance
@blurb9319 the only chance he had was with zoro , he didn't kill zoro because he didn't know that he was dangerous, he thought the strawhat crew were just usopps friends and just ordinary dockworkers like usopp
He only realized that they were dangerous after coby tells them that they raided a marine base and took down buggy
He got the jump on kaya and Nami and tried to stab them but luffy intervened
@@xblade11230 There are several times where he hit people (Usopp with a punch, Luffy with a chest slash) and didn’t go for a fatal blow
Also, I reread the chapter with Zoro's origin and they're just wrong. He always wanted to be the greatest swordsman, and he never fought Kuina with three swords. It's explicitly stated that he only ever used two swords style.
And their relationship was pretty one to one with the manga. I don't know where Nux got the idea they were friends, Kuina was roasting the hell out of Zoro. Honestly, rereading the manga chapter makes me appreciate the LA more.
I think he was remembering the anime adaptation where it showed the first time he challenged Kuina to a duel and he was holding a bunch of wooden swords.
37:34 Nux, as an appreciator of Dio's confrontation with Polnareff, you should be able to see through this scene. Clearly, Kuro used his uncanny speed to kick the door open, then zip back a few paces, just so he could make his grand villain entrance look cinematic enough.
Tbf, Kuro was thought to be dead three years ago, so the posters are likely gone and not widely available. Morgan kept it in a safe which Helmeppo has no access too, so he hasn't seen Kuro face in about three years and might even had only glances of it back then.
As for Helmeppo, he's already going into the situation not believing kuro is alive and refusing to because "daddy so strong" so this little butler boy CANT be Kuro.
Yes exactly! Kuro was Morgan's shame. Sure he bragged about him to keep up reputation, but the face of the man was locked in a safe and I doubt Daddy Morgan ever sat down with his son to show it to him. Helmeppo probably just had to deal with the stories over and over again without ever seeing a picture (and if he did, it's easy to forget someone's face). I wonder how many people in real life could look at a wanted poster and recognize the person 3 days later - let alone weeks, months or years. Luffy can't even remember Buggy's name xD
I feel like I’m in the minority in that I love the way Kuina died. It reminds me of Bridge to Tarabithia. Sometimes death is unexpected, sudden, and mundane. And the mundane nature of the death and lack of closure it brings makes it feel all the more tragic.
You said it. Storytelling always feels like it has to prove something. Important characters have to die important deaths. Murder, illness, combat, execution, wild animals...
But like you said, real life is a bitch. Death can be mundane and insignificant. Heck, my friend's dad died basically because he fell off stairs. Kuina is basically a subversion of storytelling tropes.
Also, think about how many times Luffy could've died, just in East Blue. Right at the start, the lid of his barrel wasn't water-sealed. If he toppled, if he got into bad weather, water would've gotten in and he'd die before anyone knew his name.
I think the script changed with Kuro taking a more direct approach
Because well
-Luffy an gang were at the mansion
-marines were in the area hunting for pirates
-maybe he thought if he killed her more overtly he could then place the blame on Luffy and gang
Im guessing the hook Zoro was tossing up the well was probably the hook and rope that used to be used to pull the bucket to draw water from the well
That was my guess
its actually well known that zoro always keeps a grappling hook and rope up his ass for emergencies. thats why he cant hold a 4th sword there.
@@DarthZ01exactly, I dont know why people keep forgetting this
You guys missed the line Kaya said calling Usopp “Captain Usopp” that’s why Luffy said about him being Captain.
Zoro vs. Buchi and Sham was really good choreography, and I loved how the last episode ended with Usopp and Koby, but the flashback with Zoro is really good too here, but I wish Usopp got more shine though
They did try to give Kaya the final super-strong poison dose (blue soup at the dinner) but Luffy interrupted that then later ate it himself, they locked down the house just in case because the Marines were on the outside, Usopp got away and may potentially have had one person believe him and Kuro realised there was at least one other still inside, so they were likely going to kill Kaya then stage the scene to pin it on Luffy and Nami, and I'm gonna guess there's an off-screen moment or deleted scene where Usopp fills in Nami on who Klahadore is so she now knows him as Kuro, Helmeppo also probably never saw Kuro and only knows him by Axe-Hand's stories, the only time we see a Kuro wanted poster is one rolled up and kept in the Grand Line map safe
My assumption about the "lockdown house" was that this was a security feature her parents installed...a house-wide panic room, in effect. I mean, they were a) filthy rich and b) living in a world where pirate raids are a thing. That Kaya doesn't seem surprised it exists goes along with this. But Kuro deducing what locks people *out* also locks people *in* fits with his whole "thousand plans" character.
Lol I think the main reason for the singular setting is.... They actually built the ships! Which had to cost soooooooo much money. Not a lot left over for additional sets after that. Future seasons will probably expand on it more because now that huge expense is done and they'll have the ships and can just update or even change old ones like alvidas slightly to make new ships for way cheaper, leaving more money over for special effects and additional set design
You gotta remember, Zoro is "I'll just carry this safe that even Luffy can't carry, with one arm"-strong, so it's not just being lifted by "just a guy" haha.
I feel like the reason kuro decided to kill Kaya was because that was his plan b. His original plan was to have Merry give him ownership of Kaya's shipyard and then wait for her to die from her illness. That way, no one would question it and it would all look natural. But then Merry refused and so kuro resorted to plan b. And the reason for this could be that he was losing patience. He's a notorious pirate who's been pretending to be a butler for at least 3 years, at some point he was bound to lose his shit. And if he just straight up murdered Kaya everyone in the town would be immediately suspicious of him. And another thing, the reason why helmeppo doesn't recognise kuro was because he was "defeated" at least 3 years ago. I don't think most people would remember or cared what he looked like after 3 years.
Kuro is so fast he can't tell where he is going. He also broke Morgan's jaw the same way he crushed a gifted pair of glasses that wouldn't fall off.
The reason it took all three of them to use the wheel was because it was all rusted out; the one Kuro used was in the foyer, so it was being maintained. They're using the one in her parent's bedroom, which hasn't even been entered in three years!
There's a lot of things you missed because you weren't paying attention xD. At the end there, the reason why Luffy asks if they know he's the captain, it's because Kaya said that she expected to hear all of the real adventures of Captain Usopp xD.
"One person can lift them" Dude Zoro fcking held a safe on 1 shoulder in the first episode lmao the guy has cartoonish strength
"Random knife" = letter opener. Expected on a writing desk. But great work pointing out all the little plot holes, and the big ones. Still love it though.
I'm one of the few People who love Kuro, It was actually his arc that hooked me on One Piece. while most people say it was Baratie or Arlong Park.
As much as Kuina suicide theory might be interesting its still better with the stair. Death can be unexpected and Kuina not giving up her dream after the talk with Zoro inspires Zoro to take up her sword as well as her dream.
Not in OP. The stairs as an "well death can be the dumbest most unexpected thing" does not work for this story. People don't always even die to explosions. We have got to stop the copium.
I got a theory that Shiryu visited Shimotsuki Village looking for Wado Ichimonji and killed Kuina over it but the sword was taken away from Shiryu and he ended stealing one of Old Man Shimotsuki other great grade swords
@@SwishaKelzWhy would he kill the old man aswell? Why go to that village when there are better swords in the grandline?
It turns out that she tripped over a black cat on the stairs... WHO WAS A PIRATE!! DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!!!
"Falling from the stairs on purpose" is an euphemism for commiting suicide.
They don't think Luffy's drunk, but Kuro can't very well, in front of the marines, say "bring that kid who drank all our murder poison."
there's a lot of emphasis about captain kuro's zooming around like it's out of character, but isn't it supposed to emulate what the "Pussyfoot maneuver" was? I doubt they'd show his feet scuttling 10 steps a second in a live action, so the zooming around sort made perfect sense to me. Yeah, it looks goofy, but I recognized what they were going for immediately. Not really understanding how that is a negative point outside of how funny it can look to try to make extreme speed work in a live action set.
It's funny that in each episode Nux has to make a reference to the manga, make a mistake in some way, and that the comments have to correct it. It's a rule now, if it doesn't happen in the rest of the series I'll feel bamboozled.
To be fair that poster was in Morgan's safe. I'm quite sure Helmepo never had access to that and we saw their "dynamic" both in the anime and here. It'd make sense that Helmepo only heard the story but never saw the bounty
The scratching of the walls would be obvious. He's a cat isn't he?
Kuro DID try to just poison her, but Luffy kept fking that plan up. First by stopping her at dinner and then by eating the rest of the poison.
By the time hes just planning to stab her he knows at least one pirate is in the house that knows his real plan and that the marines are literally knocking on the door.
Hes being forced to do it fast and sloppily. The blast doors is because he cant risk any more witnesses/victims getting out/escaping.
I'm pretty sure they closed the blast doors to keep Kaya from escaping. The situation was already getting out of control, so he decided to seal her in and keep everyone outside to be safe. He could obviously come up with whatever lie he needs afterwards.
Also, I will defend Kuina's death till I fall down d. stairs. It's perfect for his story.
I don't understand why people are hating on garp he may not be as laid back and chill (for now) but he still acts,treats and cares for Luffy and Coby just like he does in the anime/manga. (I've also seen some people complain about the accent and you're just wrong the accent is great)
Personally I think most of the people upset about Garp are just upset that he was revealed as Luffy's grandpa so early, whereas most anime watchers/manga readers didnt find that out till around 300 episodes/chapters in, and anyone watching/reading one piece who hasn't gotten to that point and thought they could watch season 1 of the live action since its the east blue arc, got spoiled
The fact that Nux brought up the Buggy Detachment "part" lol, and that he's actually right is still hilarious to me. Oda confirmed it and apparently he harasses people with it😂😂😂.
oda is constantly asked "does X character's devil fruit affect their penis?" and his answer is always yes.
@@DarthZ01 Which is hilarious every time. Cause the mental image is just too funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't think Kuro was _planning_ on locking down the place and stabbing her.
The poison was the main plan, and he was probably going to kill her with that alone, but then people got suspicious of him, and he had to improvise.
"what's the point of those doors if one person can open them?"
Me: I think nux forgot that zoro's strength is not the same as regular people.
17:27 you know how cats are (and most villains for some reason 🤦), they always play with their food/prey
2 Things:
1) Usopp was referred to as "Captain Usopp" by Kaya, that's why Luffy was incredulous.
2) Many ships were outfitted with cannons that faced forward or even behind the ship. In this way, it would be easier to assault enemy ships from any angle. Honestly, I would've thought that was an obvious strategy even without knowing it has been done.
>Watches a scene of Kaya running to and getting under the table.
>"How did she know there was a knife on the table???"
I don't know what that slide Mackenyu did was but in Kenshin live action movies they did it a lot. Could be something to do with sword fighting.
Zoro didn't fight her with 3. He still used 2, but real swords that duel with her. I think he started 3 when he got her sword.
Also Luffy's reaction is because she said Captain Usopp.
no man he even try to fight her with douzaine of sword at one point, we also see him lift thing with him jaw ect, (i dont remember him using 3 sword in the real sword duel though) but he definitly do with the practice sword multiple time ( i mean they duel 2001 time and zoro lose every single on of them time if i remerber corectly, he got time to try different style and train is 3sword style x)
@@noakeyharding9437 I'm basing off chapter 5 of the manga. He lost to Kuina using only 2 swords.
@@KamenRamenStudios maybe idk, i've not read the manga for years, and i can be biaised be the anime tbh, but i do remember seing zoro with multiple sword in each hands and him jaw again her at some point x)
@@noakeyharding9437I think that just heppend in the anime
@@theninjabird9510 probably yeah :x
I always assumed Kuina's accident was a cover up for a Harakiri, I think the anime kinda hinted to it by saying she "accidentaly fell on her sword"
The "They do know I'm the captain right?" line is because she said she wants to hear the adventures of the great CAPTAIN Usopp before the kiss. Paying attention goes a long way to answer unnecessary questions.
I think the reason y kuro went to stabby stabby instead of poison was because they intended to feed her it but luffy ate it all.
He decided to go stabby stabby because of luffy , he would just tell the authorities that she was stabbed to death by the straw hat crew and will then inherit all her wealth
If the strawhats weren't there he would poison her and say she died of her illness
Yh I said that, tho with shit typing
Could've been solved with a line like, "damn, that was the last of our poison!"
You can tell the black cats were really feeling themselves once they put on their outfits. 3 years of pretending to be staff, they must really want to go all out at that point.
Respect Kuro he's one of my favorite underrated characters that got me into One Piece with the 4kids era of the dub, I wish he got more love and returned in the story someway even as a cameo. He was a very necessary early villain showing how let go of his dreams and forsake his crew for Kaya's inheritance. Nux is full of it he's way more memorable than Don Krieg, Wapol, or Gaimon lol He doesn't even have official figures or merch..but he deserves it. Kuro is my guy !!
I remember 4kids had done a poll after the episode to choose your favorite villan, Buggy Kuro or Morgan and Kuro won.
did Don krieg shw u[p again in the story? he was a freakin bad ass, cuz he was screaming he still wanted to fight, but his men dragged him away.
Consider Kuro jusy made an appearance on a recent cover, you must be excited lol
@@180hotshote yooo really that's so cool I didn't know that! I love 4kids One Piece lol
@@TheGrossDemon You have no idea bro I was so gassed when I saw that new Kuro chapter cover and the color spread Oda drew for the Live Action promotion is one of my favorites! Hope we see more new East Blue art love! Don Krieg needs one next!!
I've seen a lot of Mackenyu's "walk in a circle in a cool way" in Rurouni Kenshin movie, but there, those moves look extra cool because he's fighting Kenshin Himura and Mackenyu's the villain. Their fight scenes are extra fast and amazing~
Remember in the anime all these flashbacks happened while Zorro was slipping on a oilly hill and he couldn't climb up the slope 😂 I had to sleep on it, but the well is way less embarrassing.
the fact that they dont explore the islands and only focus on a single location on it could really come back to bite them if they keep it up when they enter the grand line. because in so many of the arcs, the location itself adds appeal. like water 7, or skypeia, or sabaody. you can still tell the story, but you are really missing out if the location isnt given the focus it gets in the manga. in one piece, the fantastical nature of the world itself is a selling point.
R.I.P. Merry which is interesting that they killed him off which might indicate that if future seasons they will officially kill off other characters, & with that kiss Shippers must be happy
- Young Zoro is played by Maximilian Lee Piazza who was also Henry (iCarly), young Tim (Only Murders in the Building), & Josh (Spirited)
- Kunia is played by Audrey Cymone who also is Pepper (Annie Live!), Kendra (Sydney to the Max), Emily (The Invisible Ones), & a few more
- Koushiro is played by Nathan Castle who is also Carlo (Arendsvlei), Marco (Eraser: Reborn), Sean (Sumber Party Massacre), & many more
- Easter Eggs in this Episode:
- Zoro in the well maybe a reference to him being stuck on that hill in the manga / anime or Mihawk’s frog in the well line to him
- Shimotsuki is mentioned 3 times one when we see the Village along this the Shimotsuki clan symbol on the flag, Kuina states that’s her name during her promise, & is on the map during the End Credits
- I noticed this but if you look at Buchi’s face you can see that around his left eye is lighter this is maybe because of his mask / helmet
- If you look at the area of the mansion that Zoro was fighting Sham & Buchi there is a painting of the Oro Jackson & images of Sea Beasts on the ceiling
- When Usopp got scared by that taxidermy animal it looks like it belongs on the Island of Rare Animals
- During Kunia’s funeral notice that she just like Ace had 3 sake cups
- After getting the Merry both Nami & Zoro’s outfit are based on the ones they are wearing on Ch.28 color spread
- As the Going Merry was sailing off you can hear “We Are!”
- Usopp’s Jolly Roger is just like the one he created in the anime / manga but with one distinct difference
No way someone that young was in iCarly
@@lilporky8565 He was on a episode that came out in 2022
@@HeraclesN-fp1bw I had no idea it's been going for that long. I thought it ended a long time ago.
I think Kuro is scratching the place up and clawing stuff because it's probably little nods to "Out Of The Bag Attack" seeing as though the cats outta the bag now.
Can’t believe they missed usopps greatest line “I have 8000 men”
Kuro is like Cat he likes to play with his food and when he fast he can’t see
Kuina: you're a man, one day you will be bigger and stronger than me.... Big Mom: and I took that personally
The whole thing with Zoro lifting the barriers? It was established in Episode 1 that Zoro isn't quite normal. Nami and Luffy barely lifted the safe that had the map to the Grand Line out, yet Zoro was able to lift it on his shoulder no problem. In other words, those door barricades were heavy, and a normal guy couldn't lift it, but Zoro is a badass.
The We Are Remix is amazing man!
My guess is.... the reason for all the extraness on Kuro's part? Raw, cathartic sadism. He's been playing that roll for so fucking long, he wants to draw things out and have fun with it.
It’s a ship building household so they would have a ship wheel as a mechanism.
OMG I just realized that Klahdore is like a cat toying with it's prey both when he fights Luffy and when he's going after helpless Kaya in this episode! Also seems like a massive egomaniac who would enjoy taunting others.
8:38 He probably never saw the wanted poster, since Morgan kept it locked in a safe. Though, if he knows about the Warlords, I don’t see why he never saw a *different* wanted poster of Kuro. It’s not like the one Morgan had in his safe is the only one in existence. Maybe he just never paid attention to Kuro’s wanted posters because he “knew” Kuro was dead.
i see kuro as egotistical, it explains why hes taking the time to kill her. He is savouring the fear she's giving off. He hates and anything related to her so much that he treats the house like trash.
Thats just my thought process
No, that's about right. 🙁
26:37 Hell, if i have those claws, I would do the same thing. C'mon? Be honest...😂
I freaking lost it when you started screengrabbing Zoro's dojo classmates to send to Matt 😂
If my memory serves, from the anime, Kaya's inspiration for becoming a doctor was to be able to patch up Usopp if he ever washed up back home with injuries needing to be tended.
I just rewatched the young Zoro challenging the dojo scene. He was told that he can use as many bamboo swords as he wants. So the took 9 swords. Three in each hands and three in his mouth. He lost one from his mouth when they bowed to the shrine, and another when they bowed to each other. Then Kuina struck him down and he stood back up with just two swords.
The entire Kuina vs. Stairs constant jokes killed me 😂😂😂😂😂
They could’ve at least let Usopp help in one of those fights.
You could say Kuina was defeated by the High ground.
For those who think Kuina death was lame, I want to inform that "Falling from the stairs on purpose" is an euphemism for suicide in some Asian cultures.
I thought Kuina was murdered? She was challenged by a man to a fight and she defeated him. So the guy got his friends and they killed her. This fell in line with her father telling her that women can never beat men as Kuina was able to defeat this guy in a non-lethal 1vs1 but she couldn't defend herself against him when he got serious.
Huh...interesting theory. Why not just read the manga instead of making up weird bullshit that makes no sense? The physically strongest woman can never beat the physically strongest man. That's the way biology works. Don't blame me. @@AngelsLance
@@AngelsLance AFAIK, Oda has left the matter regarding her death open-ended to this day, and on purpose
^So we may never know whether it was actually anything more than "death from hitting her head falling down the stairs". But it was always meant to be a sudden, senseless death (which sadly, does happen)
@@AngelsLance That interpretation actually came from from the 4kids dub but instead of killed she was permanently injured.
@@yoshimasterleader Was that from the 4kids version? Im seriously shocked because aside from the "permanently injured" part, I think this is the one case where the 4kids version seems better than the original. Kuina getting ambushed by a gang lead by a guy she beat, seems better than just falling down the stais.
I feel like had they put Zoro a backstory when he fights with Mihawk and fails, it would’ve been better. Therefore giving more time to develop Ussop and introduce Jango. But since Jango was cut, hopefully we get to see him in Whisky Peak (season 2).
Either usop or kaya said you/I can be captain Usop which is why luffy said, “they do know I’m captain”
Yeah I too think that since it was few chapters, super summarized story then they had to put Zoro's story somewhere.
I would have liked Helmeppo to have recognized Kuro from the wanted poster and was afraid to confront him so he played dumb but then Koby seeing Helmeppo all nervous to leave and that in all the vomiting of Luffy and that Koby was literally going to follow his instincts to go back because there's something doesn't add up with the butler. Then Helmeppo would admit who the old man was and then everything else with Zoro would happen and Coby since he's not strong enough would let Luffy go to confront Kuro.
(I THINK it would have looked good this idea to be able to help Helmeppo's character a little bit 😅).
But well I too found that Luffy comment kind of weird 😆 but maybe I comment it because of the "Captain Ussop" thing but I like to think Luffy thought he would also get a little kiss reward for saving her.... LOL!!!! it's funny.
I see Kuro's behavior as him of a cat playing with his food instead of going straight for the kill.
And it backfired on him 😅.
Although I still see Koby as suffering because he wants to do well as a Marine, but he's weak to his opponents and after that since Luffy was the one who gave him that chance to follow his dream.
I would've really liked for Helmeppo to recognize Kuro and play dumb and try to get the marine group out of there ASAP, then after Luffy wakes up and Coby talks to him about how Luffy is not that bad of a pirate, making Helmeppo question himself.
It would've served as a lesson for him, not only that his pre-conceptions of his dad were wrong, that not all Marines are as good as they appear, and a lesson on bravery, maybe after seeing Coby try to do his duty as a marine and knowing he is basically pinning the blame on Luffy and turning a blind eye on the innocent, he would feel guilt, not only for not believing in Coby and constantly teasing him, but acting cowardly, this would've served as a parallel to his little arc in the manga when he confronted his father, but at a more thematic level, basically doing the right thing when his dad picked the easier path.
@@Glockenspheal
Yeah that's exactly what I will love to see in that episode... you know it could be something good for the character.
About Kuro scratching the walls:
With hindsight, while he may call himself "Kuro of the Thousand Plans", in the grand scheme of things, he's still just a small-time pirate in East Blue with a meager 16M bounty. Maybe his ego is just bigger than his brain.
I agree with the Kuro and Kaya character improvements. I do also think Usopp didn't have as much of his moment compared to the anime/manga (you really see him getting beaten/fighting for the village). There were definitely some cheesy moments too. Kuro's entire crew dresses like cats like...they're cheesy lol.
"I... I knew I shouldn't have left that skateboard at the top of those stairs. I was going to do a sick grind on the rail but haven't gotten around to it"
If you fall from a certain height or are a small child like Kuina still was, yes it's possible to die from falling down stairs. One false impact to someone's neck can be fatal. Also in a game I played a few years ago, you can get a bad ending in failing down some stairs because you were trying to escape your attackers. It was tragic and also you could hear the neck snapping. Not a good way to go but the death is instant. No suffering.
Though you can also die if you strike your head. That can either be instant or take a couple of days. The Japanese voice actor for Devimon in Digimon Adventure died that way. He seemed fine but then within days was gone.
@@tranatkikomi6873 Yeah that too. I think that's what happened to a few mangaka as well. Maybe that's why Oda had her death to be something similar. Only a theory though.
@@lanalewis6982 It fits though. This is a world with pirates and fruits that give amazing powers in exchange for weakness against the sea. A reminder that even the simplest things can still end a life in a grand world such as this…
nux occasionally turns into a kettle this episode
5:16 when buggy performs on stage, he starts making sounds and everyone's confused but is forced to listen regardless. Then we cut to his detached privates getting some action. Somebody make a short one page comic and show it to him on uh... Websites. I keep having revise my comment to community guidelines. I literally cannot modify it any further. I can't reference any single website without having my comment deleted.
Nux not understanding One Piece lore hurt me inside
Kuina "fell down the stairs" is a saying that people use when trying to hide the true cause of an injury, like "I walked into a door" when you have a black eye. She was looked down on by her own family and was made to believe she could never accomplish her life goal and most likely killed herself and the truth covered up. (The theory is that she's "gone" as said by her dad in this episode, and got amnesia, being sent off to become Tasshigi when her old life was so depressing leaving everyone else thinking she died instead for her own safety. In the Theory only one person would know what really happened and made up the stair story to hide it)
And Luffy can be cut by Kuro, and is cut in the manga and anime fight too. It just doesn't cut deep because the blades bounce off and he's not a great swordsman so he can't cut him easier. Luffy has always been vulnerable to blades, it's not weird he got cut by Kuro. Also Kuro was the first character to move faster than you can see, but it was the Pussyfoot Manuever that made that work. When he did the maneuver he moved so fast he couldn't even cut what he was aiming at, so he just cut at random (Also it looked goofy, so having him get some goofy movement blur works)
It's funny watching you riff on the series, even though there are straightforward explanations for everything. 😃
I think this arc does not aply to nux's complaint of not seing the island.
In the last episode we saw several angles of the village and they made an an enfasis on the shipwrighting culture on this village!
Reaction and analysis videos like this are basically free adverting. The Netflix marketing team should be thrilled.
bro.. you're reaction is gold..the funniest anime reactor ive ever encountered..i like this OPLA series..im subscribing
I think Kuro's plan in the live action was slowly poison Kiya over the the three years, get the docks signed over to him, and Kiya passes from her 'mysterious disease' shortly after. However, things kept mucking up the plan. Usop shows with mystery riffraff. Merry doesn't produce the papers to give him the docks. Marines show up. He was having to improvise. So it was lock down the house so no one gets in, kill everyone who isn't helping the plan (and maybe even his cronies as well), make a story for later to explain their mysterious disappearances.
Ahh this is awesome, rewatching it with Nuxanor and his mad lad editor
I think you couldn't see Merry in the well because Zoro got peckish for some lamb.
43:53 Because the character she’s based on from the manga, Sham(who was a guy in the manga) wore a bell too)
How is your friendship with your editor so wholesome, when your content is so...not?
In this universe they didn't say stairs, they just said an accident so it could be more ambiguious for Kuina's death. kids who do Aikido and Kendo every do many dangerous practice routines. Netflix was watchdogged by Oda to make the story a bit more generalized and believable.

That face just reminds me of
"I HAVE THE POWER OF GOD AND ANIME ON MY SIDE" 😂
I usually skip thru the parts of the reaction I know will be boring but I can't skip anything!! The funniest shit you say is too damn random. Gotta watch it all!! 😂
"Don't tell me he'll say Kuina was his only friend?!"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH BOI...
"Why do they have the doors if ANYONE can just lift them."
You're forgetting it's Zoro we're talking about. The guy literally carried a metal safe in one hand. And Luffy ripped it out of the concrete in the 1st place.
Man usopp vs django would've shown his battle iq and determination, i wpuldve voted for no marines this arc for jango to show up
“Why didn’t. Pay a little extra for the ‘no-slip’ shoes! Whyyyyyyyy!”😂😂🤣
the well is a refrence to mihawk calling him frog in a well
I would love to see bloopers for this episode
For such a massive one piece fan, you've surprisingly got a few details wrong.
Luffy can be hurt by anything that can cut or pierce, he can only tank blunt attacks. Kaya becoming a doctor is in the manga, even had a cover story showing her treating i think one of the kids in usopps old crew. Zoro did want to be the strongest before kuina died, her dying just fortified his resolve to do it for the both of them.
