I just finished watching the last episode yesterday & loved the entire Season. I was worried that it would be difficult for Netflix to adapt 60 half hour anime episodes into just 8 hour long live action episodes, but this is definitely 1 of the best anime adaptations ever, & it does the manga & anime proud.
Actually, there's symbolism in the moment Luffy put his hat on Nami. The straw hat is Luffy's treasure and he doesn't let anyone touch it. Putting it on Nami is his way of saying that he trusts Nami and she is his friend
it's much more clear that that was intent behind luffy giving his hat to nami in the anime/manga. But in the live action it feels more random since so much context is being cut bc of time constraints in a 8 episode season. The emotional moments are harder to capture here since the show is running against a clock and has to keep moving
@@CluelessCarter I feel like it's pretty well hinted in the live action too with the multiple scenes of Luffy not wanting other people to touch the hat, reaching for it instead of the map, calling it his treasure, etc. Not to mention that Nami went from messing with the hat at the start to Luffy 'giving' his literal treasure to Nami in this ep. But I can def understand why not a lot of people can 'see' that just like you said, because it was elaborated better in the manga and anime :D
@@el-dawn Yeah it was definitely clearer in the anime because when luffy gave the hat to nami she remembered the time luffy got angry at someone else for touching his hat. I don't know why they decided to cut that out of the live action.
@@ellusiv5121they better blow that scene up who ever is cast as robin cause that scene is so powerful in the anime we need who ever it is to eat that scene 😭
Emily Rudd slayed that scene, I was bawling the entire scene especially where she's fighting back when she's being pinned in the ground, screaming in despair and hopelessness. It's so heartbreaking. The help me scene is so amazing, well executed. No wonder Oda said it was perfect.
Episode 6 and 7 back to back are deadly. Like after ep 6 I was already bawling so hard I needed to take a break and that damn broken "Help me" murdered me. I still end up crying really hard even though I've seen like 5 reactions so far. I like genuinely can't hold it.
i think the emotional bits could've been done better.. but that's just me speaking as a person who feels things very strongly... it is all gold nonetheless.. the emotional bits made me feel stuff
The reason she trusts Arlong is that, within his crew, they're bound by a rule not to lie about money. This is briefly mentioned during the poker game, but it's more prominently highlighted in the manga. As for the hat transfer, it's symbolic. Luffy can indeed fight with his hat on, but giving it to her is a sign of trust. He wouldn't let someone he doesn't trust handle his treasured hat. The gesture also serves as a promise, mirroring the one he made to Shanks: 'I'll deal with Arlong, and once you're free, you'll return my hat to me. Nami's backstory always gets to me and Emily Rudd was perfect in the help me scene.
Zoro, Sanji and Usopp are always ready to throw down alongside their Captain. Seeing the three of them simply waiting just a few yards out gives me chills every time.
I particularly love the way the music and camera carries us out to them. First Luffy says he'll help (closeup w/low music), then he screams it (mid shot with crescendo), then we get an deep bass answer to the crescendo with a wide shot of all the crew. It starts with Luffy forgiving her, then the entire crew. All told with wonderful cinematography and music.
Nami's backstory was one of the saddest moment I've seen. She lost her beloved Bellemere, working as a slave with the man who murdered her mother, she tried to save her home for eight hard years and now Arlong betrayed her deal. I'm so glad that she asked Luffy to help her. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I feel like it’s not as emotional as the anime since she worked for that money for eight year’s she tried to learn how to gamble, steal receive hate as a kid in order to buy back his village. I just can’t feel the importance of that money as much as in the anime.
Those future stories were already seen in the anime. I'm an author writing a book series, and I'm setting up a lot from my fourth book for stories that haven't been written yet.
And so it is revealed.. Season 1 a.k.a East Blue Saga is Nami's story all along. Many judged and hated her, but now we know her trauma & her goal. Zoro is the type that takes people's words literally, but Luffy never doubted Nami.
One thing that separates Helmeppo more with Morgan is that, while Helmeppo punishes and mocks Rika( the little girl). Morgan wants to kill her for defying him, he even ask if Helmeppo killed the girl. Helmeppo even said that "I didn't, she's just a little girl" so he has atleast a line in what he does.
Nami's backstory and Luffy's determination to help her at any cost are what made me fully fall in love with the series. Sanji's backstory hit hard but Nami's hit even harder since I can personally relate to it.
Luffy put his hat on Nami to symbolize to her that she is as much his treasure as the hat is. In the manga and the anime Nami gets a brief flashback of Luffy saying the hat meant more to him then anything else in the world, and then he places that on the head of his navigator.
I also thought of this as Luffy telling Nami he entrusts her with his dream,since Nami is the navigator, she is the one guiding Luffy to his dream! the One Piece 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ which eventually would make Luffy the king of the pirates !

The hat was definitely a symbolic gesture he puts it on Nami to show her she's his friend, his crew member, his family and he'll do anything for her. Especially when someone hurts her
Fun Fact: it’s been confirmed that the scripts for season 2 were already written so once the strike ends they plan on continuing the series. It’s expected to come out 18-24 months after the strike ends
Luffy placing tbe hat on Nami's head also symbolizes how she, and the rest of his crew by extension, are his treasure. In the entire series, VERY few people have been entrusted with his hat.
I love the world building they added to this with Arlong. In the manga when he was introduced, he was just a big bad guy with a Fishman superiority complex. In this he has that, but you can see it's a front for his insecurity in being in an unequal world with humans. I felt like this really expanded the world in the LA and added a bit more depth to Arlong early on.
Oh I've been waiting for this one. This episode is the moment for a LOT of fans that claim solidified their love for the series. And it's only the beginning.
The scene where Nami is stabbing her self in the anime, the japanese voice actress does a truly amazing job at portraying her rage, with Arlongs laughs haunting her thoughts right before. Its a scene I would go watch even if u arnt planning to ever watch the anime its one of the most dramatic moments ever.
I appreciate that you guys have been uploading so frequently. You guys are one of my favorite reaction channels and this show was a joy to watch. And to see your guys hilarious input on it just puts a smile on my face. I’m not a one piece anime fan, but I am a one piece live action fan now lol
That Nami child actress is stunningly good. She reminds me of a young Natalie Portman in Leon or Kirsten Dunst in Interview with the vampire... just great. Absolutely believable and real. And of course, I loved both of your reactions 🙂
This is probably the 5th time I've watched this through reactors lol. Taz really nailed Sanji's vibe, imo. He's smooth as silk. I hope we get a season 2 for more of his performance alone.
A lot of scenes they actually try to recreate the scenes from original manga, such as how Gold Roger kneel in front of crowds; Shanks put the hat on Luffy; Buggy sat on his throne; Zoro cried out on the ground that he never gonna lose again; Luffy gave hat to Nami and everyone else just 40 yards away, etc. Oda Sensei really coached this show from bottom to top, he did his best to bring his baby from manga to anime and to the live-action TV shows.
The hat is a treasure for Luffy, and for Nami whatevery pricy and map is a treasure for her.. Nami gets angry when Luffy try to get a hand with her treasure, so this action from Luffy, where Luffy literally trusted Nami to keep his treasure, means a lot because Luffy won't do that to anyone else he didn't trust..
I always feel that nobody truly understands Helmeppo, the guy with the weird hair cut, because in the manga, he was beaten, and abused by his father Cpt. Morgan all his life. That's why he's the way he is when we first meet him, and that's also why he starts to change over time.
Helmeppo was fine. Morgan was not well written. Other than having a spoiled nepo baby and a bit of a narcissist, he was never shown as corrupt compared to the manga.
11:10 Yep this is Arlong Park... Seiing you two laugh and enjoy the view is somewhat so refreshing !! :D I really like the way it is presented in the live action !! For me (and probably all One piece fans) this place has so deep meaning that it makes me sad...
The hat is symbolic, up to this point he didn't let anyone touch it because it's his treasure and now he put it on Nami at her lowest point says that she is as important to him as the hat.
This event was what sold the anime to me many years ago when I saw it. There is no dialogue but you get so much from Luffy giving Nami his hat. He values the hat beyond anything else, it's his "treasure" and he feels the same way about his crew. Even after Nami betrayed them, told them to leave and they learned about her past he still valued her enough to place the most precious thing to him on her head because she is that precious and he trusts her. There were some things from that arc that didn't make the cut that I wish did because it shows the turmoil that Nami is going through the whole time with wanting to free her village but also wanting to be with the Straw Hats because she started having fun for the first time in her life after years of being a captive slave to Arlong. Her loyalty being questioned when Usopp confronting her and her stabbing him to prove her loyalty then it's revealed she stabbed her own hand to make it look like she stabbed Usopp and it was her blood on him being one scene I wish they kept.
Thank HEAVENS you two didn't have to wait. THIS IS LIKE EPISODE 35 thru EPISODE 37 in the Anime That is The Legend of ONE PIECE❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
One Piece were aired on Cartoon Network India sometime between 2006-2007 on weekdays from 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM until the end of Arlong Park Are. Now i am 30-year-old ,, have been a fan since, for 17 years. i love all your reaction seeing this live action adaptation , eagerly waiting for more to come..😁 thanks
That Luffy walk shot with Sanji smoke in front, Zoro sit with holding his sword, and Usopp, is The Iconic shot. But in this live action, Sanji's Body tilted to the right, while in the anime tilted to left. But it's a good decision i think, because the camera angle is a little bit different. Finally, Final episode left for your One Piece reaction. 👍
This scene in the anime was what really hooked me up with One Piece, the scene of Nami's despair stabbing her tattoo, Luffy stopping her, Nami asking Luffy to help her out, that was really emotional to me. Live action did it really well, of course I stand with the anime, but wow I can't ask more to the LA 🤌🏼
They really changed a lot about nami’s backstory about all my beloved side characters. I mean I loved this live action series. Still, it is sooo much better that in the original stories😢 really hope you guys can watch the anime after this🎉
Something they cut out of the live action was after Helmeppo stomped on Rika's (the little girl) riceballs and made fun of her in episode 1. He reported it to his dad and Morgan's first response was to ask him if he killed her. Helmeppo was horrified and responded "o-of course not. she's just a little girl..." Then Morgan commands his marines to go into town and execute her. Helmeppo was a massive jerk but mostly puts on airs and there is a line that he won't cross. It's nice seeing his redemption.
The hat was super important, it’s luffy’s treasure, he doesn’t let anybody touch his hat. And he just gave it to nami, it is NOT saying I don’t want fish guts on it lol
He put his absolute treasure on his head. Something he doesn't let anyone touch. Signifying his postulate to Nami getting saved and to follow her dream without any doubt.
You tend to catch onto this once you start really watching One Piece that every character has something that pushed them into becoming who they are now, whether that is a pirate, marine, or something else and that thing tends to be tragedy. Nami showcases that very well, since her tragedy is what fuels her personality as an adult. .
The Nami "Help Me" scene is so important because it's the moment in the manga/anime that everyone who's a fan of the series thought, "yeah, One Piece is special".
I always saw the hat pass off as Nami finally trusting Luffy with her treasure, asking him to save her village, so Luffy trusted her with his treasure, ask her to take care of Shanks' hat.
This is also a foreshadowing of Nami that during her time with everyone, she held up her own...and the scene where she ask "Help me", that is the first time she said and asked for it...
Idk if you guys knew this already but netflix also got the original japanese voice actors to dub the show in japanese so if youre wondering what they sound like in the anime you can choose to chamge the dub ❤❤❤❤❤✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Shanks gave luffy the straw hat saying it's his greatest treasure.. and as we know for luffy it is more valuable than finding the One piece..so giving nami his hat signifies that she is his treasure..as is all his crewmates
When Luffy places his hat on her its like he is going to protect his treasure, to him which is his crew and his hat, or you could say its the poeple behind hat that makes it his treasure to protect, but the point is Oda is a genius haha love the vids you guys are cool😎
There are some differences with the original material. The largest is that the village and Nojiko are actually aware of what Nami works on, but they don't tell her so she isn't burdened with the responsibility she took on willingly, giving her the option to walk if/when she finally realizes she cannot collect the money. But Nami is tough, and having the money taken causes her to resolve to steal it all again. The problem is the villagers, who are done with seeing Nami hurt and struggle, and decide to march on Arlong Park for a final showdown that Nami knows they cannot win. She cannot stop them, she cannot defeat Arlong, and she is finally broken. That is where her utter despair comes from initially, knowing that the people she treasures most are about to be lost. As she asks him to protect her treasure, he gives her his treasure that he doesn't usually let people touch, making the request about friends having each others backs rather than him being a hero who saves the day during her moment of weakness with some sort of debt to hold her back. This contrasts with Arlong's crew who have financial honesty as a key aspect of their bottom line, which is why Nami was able to trust him to keep to his deal for over a decade as she gathered the money. Unfortunately for her, she's a human, and to Arlong, they can never be equals to fishmen.
Crazy cuz nami could also be the main character in this story, any character in this story couldve been the main character, their stories are all interesting
It's a nice retcon, Arlong would rightfully be frustrated about Jinbei as we saw in the future. Such is a the advantage of having a thousand chapter worth of foresight 😂
Good thing about if this show gets canceled, you've got over 1000 episodes of anime you can continue the story with. Though I got a feeling that at least Season 2 is a lock at this point.
The moment after the hat part where they are all waiting is an iconic Manga and Anime scene, they wanted to make sure to capture it with the live action as well.
The hat on Nami's head is iconic. It has so much depth, from it symbolizing that Nami IS an Strawhat and therefore under the protection of the Luffy and the crew. It is a well written seen that shows a vow between people without words needing to be said. It is similar to feudal contracts or wedding vows. some cultures have the men put something of their house/family such banner/cloak or family crest on the bride symbolizing that she is now part of the new household and under it's protection. One Piece does this in a platonic way, and Nami returns to protection to the others, so it is a mutual protection, she was just in a really bad spot in this instance. The anime nailed the scene as well, and Nami's Japanese voice actor killed. Her performance is just as haunting at the 10th viewing as it was the 1st.
In the anime it was emphasized that Nami is one of his treasures. Someone he holds dear and someone that he will die for. Luffy actually never given the hat to anyone but Nami. Speaks volume of how much he cares for Nami and the gang
I'm just gonna put this there and I hope you read this and it might add more to your awe for this live action, as a long time follower of One Piece we all knew that Garp is Luffy's grandfather and in the scenes in this live action before their connection was revealed you can notice the subtle difference in Garps emotion when the pirate with a straw hat was mentioned even more so when koby had told him that the straw hat pirate is luffy. Pretty great acting and attention to details.
i believe watch the backstory episodes so you can do comparison episodes then if you want cover the fillers. there are a lot. but doing a comparison you will find Oda gives old fans expansion to characters. example Nami’s mom. anime says she was a marine. In live action we seen it. I have a step daughter, but I treat her as my own. so i don’t call her my step but my daughter. So yes I would never deny saying she is my child either.
You're likely not going to see Jinbe for a very long time. He doesn't show up in the anime until like episode 400 and something. This is a nod to the fans having Arlong mention him this early. But he is one of the Warlords of the Sea, putting him at Mihawk's level. Edit: Clearing this up, not as strong as Mihawk, but at his rank. There is a lot of variation in strength among the Warlords, and Mihawk is among the strongest.
He was mentioned before luffy and crew made it to Arlong Park in the anime though I don't remember if he is revealed as a fishmen at that point. Chapter 67 and Episode 31.
The "Luffy....help me..." scene is one of the most legendary scenes in the show. And the girl who plays Nami described it as the moment that made her a huge One Piece fan. So it was really important for her, and Luffy's actor, to nail it. Because it's a scene that means a lot to a lot of people. I cry like a small child every time I see it.
Yall should totally watch the anime up to the end of Arlong Park! You'll be surprised by how different it is. Nami's backstory here was done really well, but it hits 3x harder in the anime :)
Netflix took 3 years to create season 1 which covers the first 60 episodes of the anime. One of the show runners said that it may take at least 2 years to create the next season. You should start watching the anime since shows on Netflix took too long to produce and may get cancelled anytime. Season 1 did phenomenal but the next season may not be able to live up to that😅
17:55 "They're not one dimensional". That's exactly why One Piece, the anime, is the most popular anime world-wide. Even amongst anime, it differs from one-dimensional among their characters.
I just realized something.. I don't have anybody to watch these shows with and I'm tempted to watch them with you so I don't feel alone ahhahaa. That's hilarious and sad that it doesn't sound bad at all actually but quite fun ahhaha.
Ah the hat has a lot of interpretation, but for me, it’s Luffy saying “you entrusted your treasure(the village) onto me, here, you take good care of my treasure(hat). We’re equals and friends.”
He's like Here hold my hat. im gonna go blow some steam. And good that u caught that little scene. where they were all sitting there waiting for Luffy and nami's talk. Most reactor miss that little part. and dont react to it. ThaT and Nami HELP ME part were the two most epic moment.
They already have the script for season 2 and they said it would be 18 month or so....theyre just waiting for the strike to end to finally confirm and start filming
Okay, so, if you didn't know, this was the episode of the Anime that people ALWAYS say you have to get to before writing off this show. If you can see her stabbing herself and screaming and just... when Luffy gives her his hat!? This is PEAK writing. This show just keeps getting better in so many ways, but I'm not sure if it ever eclipses this moment, at least for me.

I love the world building they added to this with Arlong. In the manga when he was introduced, he was just a big bad guy with a Fishman superiority complex. In this he has that, but you can see it's a front for his insecurity in being in an unequal world with humans. I felt like this really expanded the world in the LA and added a bit more depth to Arlong early on.
I dont know a big thing of his is that he is a Fishman supremacist. A great departure from his original crew.
Oh I've been waiting for this one. This episode is the moment for a LOT of fans that claim solidified their love for the series. And it's only the beginning.
The scene where Nami is stabbing her self in the anime, the japanese voice actress does a truly amazing job at portraying her rage, with Arlongs laughs haunting her thoughts right before. Its a scene I would go watch even if u arnt planning to ever watch the anime its one of the most dramatic moments ever.
I appreciate that you guys have been uploading so frequently. You guys are one of my favorite reaction channels and this show was a joy to watch. And to see your guys hilarious input on it just puts a smile on my face. I’m not a one piece anime fan, but I am a one piece live action fan now lol
Luffy giving nami his hat is still one of the most iconic scenes of anime even now
Thank you for the reaction! Such a great show.
I really hope you guys watch the anime after you finish the live action
Don’t get your hopes up bro we talking about 1000+ episodes and they already have so many shows to react to
@@peruvienrappel5866just follow the east blue saga
I hope they read the manga, not watch the anime. Some parts of the anime was Tooo slow, it made me drop it. This show made me read the manga.
They said they'd rather wait for season 2 unfortunately
Yeah I started reading the manga and have read 150 chapters in 3 days 😂
That Nami child actress is stunningly good. She reminds me of a young Natalie Portman in Leon or Kirsten Dunst in Interview with the vampire... just great. Absolutely believable and real.
And of course, I loved both of your reactions 🙂
This is probably the 5th time I've watched this through reactors lol. Taz really nailed Sanji's vibe, imo. He's smooth as silk. I hope we get a season 2 for more of his performance alone.
A lot of scenes they actually try to recreate the scenes from original manga, such as how Gold Roger kneel in front of crowds; Shanks put the hat on Luffy; Buggy sat on his throne; Zoro cried out on the ground that he never gonna lose again; Luffy gave hat to Nami and everyone else just 40 yards away, etc.
Oda Sensei really coached this show from bottom to top, he did his best to bring his baby from manga to anime and to the live-action TV shows.
I read the "luffy, help me" chapter in 1999, I still cry everytime I see it
Hearing y'all call it One Peak put a smile on my face 😁
The hat is a treasure for Luffy, and for Nami whatevery pricy and map is a treasure for her.. Nami gets angry when Luffy try to get a hand with her treasure, so this action from Luffy, where Luffy literally trusted Nami to keep his treasure, means a lot because Luffy won't do that to anyone else he didn't trust..
I always feel that nobody truly understands Helmeppo, the guy with the weird hair cut, because in the manga, he was beaten, and abused by his father Cpt. Morgan all his life. That's why he's the way he is when we first meet him, and that's also why he starts to change over time.
Helmeppo was fine. Morgan was not well written. Other than having a spoiled nepo baby and a bit of a narcissist, he was never shown as corrupt compared to the manga.
@@seraby7151Yeah, he was kinda just brushed under the rug in the LA
Haha, I like how by episode 7 and seeing Capt. Nezumi with the mouse ears, you were like oh he got ears and just accept it.
11:10 Yep this is Arlong Park...
Seiing you two laugh and enjoy the view is somewhat so refreshing !! :D
I really like the way it is presented in the live action !!
For me (and probably all One piece fans) this place has so deep meaning that it makes me sad...
I have been waiting for you to get to this one!! Lots of changes but I don't mind them! Her backstory is the one I'm the most emotional for
The hat is symbolic, up to this point he didn't let anyone touch it because it's his treasure and now he put it on Nami at her lowest point says that she is as important to him as the hat.
This event was what sold the anime to me many years ago when I saw it. There is no dialogue but you get so much from Luffy giving Nami his hat. He values the hat beyond anything else, it's his "treasure" and he feels the same way about his crew. Even after Nami betrayed them, told them to leave and they learned about her past he still valued her enough to place the most precious thing to him on her head because she is that precious and he trusts her.
There were some things from that arc that didn't make the cut that I wish did because it shows the turmoil that Nami is going through the whole time with wanting to free her village but also wanting to be with the Straw Hats because she started having fun for the first time in her life after years of being a captive slave to Arlong. Her loyalty being questioned when Usopp confronting her and her stabbing him to prove her loyalty then it's revealed she stabbed her own hand to make it look like she stabbed Usopp and it was her blood on him being one scene I wish they kept.
10:42 You got exactly right, his name is Bogart because of the main actor in Casablanca, that is his inspiration
Yessss, finally🔥🔥🔥
I was waiting for this reaction video ✨🔥
Thank HEAVENS you two didn't have to wait. THIS IS LIKE EPISODE 35 thru EPISODE 37 in the Anime That is The Legend of ONE PIECE❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
21:48 that’s the goosebump moment to all OP fans, no matter is manga or anime .
in manga and snime -- this hat on nami scene was ICONIC so damn impactful ..
One Piece were aired on Cartoon Network India sometime between 2006-2007 on weekdays from 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM until the end of Arlong Park Are. Now i am 30-year-old ,, have been a fan since, for 17 years. i love all your reaction seeing this live action adaptation , eagerly waiting for more to come..😁 thanks
Last scene is amazing!!! The boys ready at their captains order.
An Emily Rudd is awesome in the scene of the knife!!
That Luffy walk shot with Sanji smoke in front, Zoro sit with holding his sword, and Usopp, is The Iconic shot. But in this live action, Sanji's Body tilted to the right, while in the anime tilted to left. But it's a good decision i think, because the camera angle is a little bit different. Finally, Final episode left for your One Piece reaction. 👍
This scene in the anime was what really hooked me up with One Piece, the scene of Nami's despair stabbing her tattoo, Luffy stopping her, Nami asking Luffy to help her out, that was really emotional to me. Live action did it really well, of course I stand with the anime, but wow I can't ask more to the LA 🤌🏼
They really changed a lot about nami’s backstory about all my beloved side characters. I mean I loved this live action series. Still, it is sooo much better that in the original stories😢 really hope you guys can watch the anime after this🎉
Something they cut out of the live action was after Helmeppo stomped on Rika's (the little girl) riceballs and made fun of her in episode 1. He reported it to his dad and Morgan's first response was to ask him if he killed her. Helmeppo was horrified and responded "o-of course not. she's just a little girl..." Then Morgan commands his marines to go into town and execute her. Helmeppo was a massive jerk but mostly puts on airs and there is a line that he won't cross. It's nice seeing his redemption.
Luffy Help Me line is one of the best scenes in anime ever. Top 5. It's at night here but it was so well done. ❤
YES!~ a few seconds into release i was so waiting!!!
The hat was super important, it’s luffy’s treasure, he doesn’t let anybody touch his hat. And he just gave it to nami, it is NOT saying I don’t want fish guts on it lol
He put his absolute treasure on his head. Something he doesn't let anyone touch. Signifying his postulate to Nami getting saved and to follow her dream without any doubt.
You tend to catch onto this once you start really watching One Piece that every character has something that pushed them into becoming who they are now, whether that is a pirate, marine, or something else and that thing tends to be tragedy. Nami showcases that very well, since her tragedy is what fuels her personality as an adult. .
The Nami "Help Me" scene is so important because it's the moment in the manga/anime that everyone who's a fan of the series thought, "yeah, One Piece is special".
I always saw the hat pass off as Nami finally trusting Luffy with her treasure, asking him to save her village, so Luffy trusted her with his treasure, ask her to take care of Shanks' hat.
This is also a foreshadowing of Nami that during her time with everyone, she held up her own...and the scene where she ask "Help me", that is the first time she said and asked for it...
Idk if you guys knew this already but netflix also got the original japanese voice actors to dub the show in japanese so if youre wondering what they sound like in the anime you can choose to chamge the dub ❤❤❤❤❤✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Shanks gave luffy the straw hat saying it's his greatest treasure.. and as we know for luffy it is more valuable than finding the One piece..so giving nami his hat signifies that she is his treasure..as is all his crewmates
When Luffy places his hat on her its like he is going to protect his treasure, to him which is his crew and his hat, or you could say its the poeple behind hat that makes it his treasure to protect, but the point is Oda is a genius haha love the vids you guys are cool😎
There are some differences with the original material. The largest is that the village and Nojiko are actually aware of what Nami works on, but they don't tell her so she isn't burdened with the responsibility she took on willingly, giving her the option to walk if/when she finally realizes she cannot collect the money. But Nami is tough, and having the money taken causes her to resolve to steal it all again. The problem is the villagers, who are done with seeing Nami hurt and struggle, and decide to march on Arlong Park for a final showdown that Nami knows they cannot win. She cannot stop them, she cannot defeat Arlong, and she is finally broken. That is where her utter despair comes from initially, knowing that the people she treasures most are about to be lost.
As she asks him to protect her treasure, he gives her his treasure that he doesn't usually let people touch, making the request about friends having each others backs rather than him being a hero who saves the day during her moment of weakness with some sort of debt to hold her back. This contrasts with Arlong's crew who have financial honesty as a key aspect of their bottom line, which is why Nami was able to trust him to keep to his deal for over a decade as she gathered the money. Unfortunately for her, she's a human, and to Arlong, they can never be equals to fishmen.
Crazy cuz nami could also be the main character in this story, any character in this story couldve been the main character, their stories are all interesting
Good that “help me” from Nami is heartbreaking 😭 NAMI SWANNNNNN
nami's story was the seal deal for me to complete all the episode ofone piece series
Longtime One Piece fan here. I did not expect the live action to mention Jinbei by name. He's a long time favorite for us One Piece fans.
It's a nice retcon, Arlong would rightfully be frustrated about Jinbei as we saw in the future.
Such is a the advantage of having a thousand chapter worth of foresight 😂
Arlong talking about jinbei with such disrespect, when jinbei is the epitome of manly fish, one that arlong can only dream to be.
Lets just say Nami is the worlds best Navigator and can understand the weather naturally
Good thing about if this show gets canceled, you've got over 1000 episodes of anime you can continue the story with. Though I got a feeling that at least Season 2 is a lock at this point.
Jimbei was the second Warlord mentioned by name and the last to make an appearance in the anime and manga. I for one love Jimbei ❤️
I forget, did Jinbei get name dropped in the anime this early?
@@frog212whyd4yes
Who knows if the live action will get to his introduction but it would be interesting.
@@frog212whyd4 yes, by yosako and jhonny
@@frog212whyd4 he's mentioned by Yosaku on the way to Arlong Park with Luffy and Sanji. It's where we're introduced to the concept of the warlords.
The moment after the hat part where they are all waiting is an iconic Manga and Anime scene, they wanted to make sure to capture it with the live action as well.
The corrupt Marine’s name is Nezumi. ‘Nezumi’ in Japanese means a rat
sorry fellas Oda said no shipping between the straw hat crew
Oda God
the goat
He's so real for this
Gonna do it anyway lol he can't tell me what to do! 😂
Goda said: imma stop you right there ✋
The hat on Nami's head is iconic. It has so much depth, from it symbolizing that Nami IS an Strawhat and therefore under the protection of the Luffy and the crew.
It is a well written seen that shows a vow between people without words needing to be said. It is similar to feudal contracts or wedding vows. some cultures have the men put something of their house/family such banner/cloak or family crest on the bride symbolizing that she is now part of the new household and under it's protection.
One Piece does this in a platonic way, and Nami returns to protection to the others, so it is a mutual protection, she was just in a really bad spot in this instance.
The anime nailed the scene as well, and Nami's Japanese voice actor killed. Her performance is just as haunting at the 10th viewing as it was the 1st.
In the anime it was emphasized that Nami is one of his treasures. Someone he holds dear and someone that he will die for. Luffy actually never given the hat to anyone but Nami. Speaks volume of how much he cares for Nami and the gang
I'm just gonna put this there and I hope you read this and it might add more to your awe for this live action, as a long time follower of One Piece we all knew that Garp is Luffy's grandfather and in the scenes in this live action before their connection was revealed you can notice the subtle difference in Garps emotion when the pirate with a straw hat was mentioned even more so when koby had told him that the straw hat pirate is luffy. Pretty great acting and attention to details.
i believe watch the backstory episodes so you can do comparison episodes then if you want cover the fillers. there are a lot.
but doing a comparison you will find Oda gives old fans expansion to characters.
example Nami’s mom.
anime says she was a marine.
In live action we seen it.
I have a step daughter, but I treat her as my own. so i don’t call her my step but my daughter.
So yes I would never deny saying she is my child either.
Luffy giving Nami his hat is symbolic that he considers her one his treasures
You're likely not going to see Jinbe for a very long time. He doesn't show up in the anime until like episode 400 and something. This is a nod to the fans having Arlong mention him this early. But he is one of the Warlords of the Sea, putting him at Mihawk's level.
Edit: Clearing this up, not as strong as Mihawk, but at his rank. There is a lot of variation in strength among the Warlords, and Mihawk is among the strongest.
Jinbe is also mentioned in the anime in the Arlong Park arc
He was mentioned before luffy and crew made it to Arlong Park in the anime though I don't remember if he is revealed as a fishmen at that point. Chapter 67 and Episode 31.
Yeah he’s not at Mihawks level lol. Mihawk is at his own level even amongst the other warlords.
@@zigsteenine8650 I more meant in rank and notoriety. Because clearly Crocodile isn't as strong as Mihawk.
@@cheezelog3889 Really? I guess I missed that in the manga. Or just forgot.
Its even harsher in the anime, but it does do it justice
The "Luffy....help me..." scene is one of the most legendary scenes in the show. And the girl who plays Nami described it as the moment that made her a huge One Piece fan. So it was really important for her, and Luffy's actor, to nail it. Because it's a scene that means a lot to a lot of people.
I cry like a small child every time I see it.
22:36 The hat is Luffy's treasure, but so is Luffy's crew. That what the scene meant.
"One Peak"... Ladies and gentlemen, We got em.
Everyone is saying it but him putting his hat on her is him saying she is treasure to him just as much as his hat
Yall should totally watch the anime up to the end of Arlong Park! You'll be surprised by how different it is. Nami's backstory here was done really well, but it hits 3x harder in the anime :)
10:44 yessir his name is Bogard lol
The GOAT
this is where i really got hooked
Netflix took 3 years to create season 1 which covers the first 60 episodes of the anime. One of the show runners said that it may take at least 2 years to create the next season. You should start watching the anime since shows on Netflix took too long to produce and may get cancelled anytime. Season 1 did phenomenal but the next season may not be able to live up to that😅
17:55 "They're not one dimensional". That's exactly why One Piece, the anime, is the most popular anime world-wide. Even amongst anime, it differs from one-dimensional among their characters.
Can't wait to watch you guys see this in the Anime, If u liked this then Oda's Stories and story telling will consume you.
Pretty sure they're not doing it judging by what they said at the end of the finale
@@GeneralMBison what did they say?
@@Aj7th basically they're going want to stick with the live action crew and the anime is too many episodes.
@@GeneralMBison they're missing out 😮💨
I just realized something.. I don't have anybody to watch these shows with and I'm tempted to watch them with you so I don't feel alone ahhahaa. That's hilarious and sad that it doesn't sound bad at all actually but quite fun ahhaha.
Ah the hat has a lot of interpretation, but for me, it’s Luffy saying “you entrusted your treasure(the village) onto me, here, you take good care of my treasure(hat). We’re equals and friends.”
You guys have been my favorite live action reactors, so I say this as a fan, PLEASE watch the anime!! It's even deeper than what's shown in the LA
the "help me" escene its definitely the best of this part of the story, however, the anime version is much more emotional and makes you really cry
He's like Here hold my hat. im gonna go blow some steam. And good that u caught that little scene. where they were all sitting there waiting for Luffy and nami's talk. Most reactor miss that little part. and dont react to it. ThaT and Nami HELP ME part were the two most epic moment.
4:02 The actor who plays him, Jeff Ward, said he tried to get “sh¡t” into the script as much as possible. So yes. He likes saying it.😅
They already have the script for season 2 and they said it would be 18 month or so....theyre just waiting for the strike to end to finally confirm and start filming
Okay, so, if you didn't know, this was the episode of the Anime that people ALWAYS say you have to get to before writing off this show. If you can see her stabbing herself and screaming and just... when Luffy gives her his hat!? This is PEAK writing. This show just keeps getting better in so many ways, but I'm not sure if it ever eclipses this moment, at least for me.
