Maul was taught to hate everything to gain power by Palpatine from a young age and Hody was taught from a young age to hate humans and didn't go through anything to become the bastard he is.

    Arlong Park is almost universally regarded as THE arc that "if you don't get it by then you probably never will" and is considered the arc where people really get into One Piece. It cements Oda's writing as something special with a simple formula: Create a villain, show that they are extremely easy to hate and dastardly in some way, and make their defeat extremely cathartic. Luffy's "OF COURSE I WILL" is still one of his best moments imo, it really endears him to the viewer as this guy who'll go through hell and high water for his friends. Personally I was sold by Baratie, but the arcs setup with Nami's backstory, Arlong's defeat and the sheer amount of things introduced in it, is definitely peak Oda

      Even though I initially avoided One Piece out of fear of its length and the story potentially deteriorating with time, I believe I was hooked from the beginning of the story, since it really matched my preference for a fantasy story slowly building to its crescendo in manner similar to epic fantasy stories that begin in an idyllic setting with a farmer, but ultimately whose scope expands into world or universe-saving story.

      Blackbeard is an extremely unique antagonist. Usually in your typical story the protagonist represents the theme of the narrative, while the antagonist represents the counter-theme. Like Luffy is always the manifestation of joy and freedom, while his opponents - Arlong, Crocodile, Doflamingo, to name a few - are always the manifestation of oppression and suffering. All except Blackbeard. While all the other villans challenge Luffy's outlook on the world, Teach straight up agrees with him. He is a unique case of an antagonist carrying the theme of the story as much as the protagonist. The difference between them is while both value freedom and dreams above all else, Luffy uses that freedom to improve the world, while Teach uses it to plunge it into darkness

    Fun fact: the word Ar Long in Malaysia & Singapore refers to loan shark, someone who lends you money and collects extremely high interest back.
    This was very prevalent in the 80s and 90s and loan sharks were living very luxurious life.
    Just like the way it was shown in one piece.

    @Rubberman202 หลายเดือนก่อน +37

    I find Arlong fascinating, both from an early One Piece perspective, and as a particular representative of his species later in One Piece. In terms of early One Piece, Arlong is interesting, for me anyway, because of how different he is from the other villains up to that point. He's the strongest villain Luffy faced so far, thanks to being a Fishman AND from the Grand Line, but moreover, unlike every single previous villain, Arlong actually cares about his crew. All the previous villains, from Alvida to Morgan to Buggy (at least at first) to Kuro to Don Krieg, showed a complete disregard towards their crew and subordinates, often abusing them or even outright killing them when they stop out of line or disobey their orders. Arlong, on the other hand, genuinely sees his crew like his brothers, and actually gets REALLY mad if they're hurt by someone else (and in particular gets FURIOUS when Luffy uses one of them as a shield against one of his attacks). Arlong may be a cruel monster towards humans, but he'd never harm a fellow Fishman.
    This gets elaborated on during the Fishman Island arc, and it's here that I'm even more intrigued by his character. Arlong didn't always used to be like he was when we saw him in Arlong Park... that is to say, he was always bigoted towards humans and was incredibly conceded when it came to his inherent strength over humans as a whole, but he also didn't think that much of his fellow Fishmen as well. Heck, when he was part of the Sun Pirates, he even mocked fellow Sun Pirates crewmate Aladdin for formerly being a slave. That changed the moment he found out his hero Fisher Tiger was a slave to the World Nobles at Mary Geoise, and that Fisher Tiger endured the worst humanity had to offer, to the point where Fisher Tiger refused a life-saving blood transfusion because his hatred for humans ran so deep he refused to be indirectly indebted to them. Despite Fisher Tiger's last words basically being a plea not to let the cycle of hatred between Fishmen and humans continue, what Arlong took from this is that humans are bastards and basically vowed to get revenge on humanity as a whole for what they did to his idol. At the very least, this experience taught him to be closer to his fellow Fishman, I should think.
    His relationship with Nami is really interesting, in a creepy sort of way. It reminds me of his time when the Sun Pirates looked after Koala, where he mistreated her, but found it odd that she never cried and cleaned up the wounds he gave her. I think Arlong may have taken away the wrong thing when it came to the Sun Pirates taking care of Koala for a time, since when it comes to Nami, he genuinely seems to think that by giving Nami food, clothes, shelter, and money, she'll be content, and that she genuinely got over the death of Belle-Mere by throwing money at her (or maybe I'm confusing him with Kuroobi). At this point, his bigotry is so bad that he's completely incapable of feeling any kind of empathy towards humans. He views himself as the superior race, and humans a lower set of being, akin to rats, with Nami being the clever cat among the rats. In his mind, Nami is little more than a tool to do what he wants, and thinks that by giving her what she needs, and also dangling her hometown just out of her reach, he'll be able to keep her with him. The way he says that Nami will forever be his "nakama" or "friend" or "crewmate" is oozing with such twisted irony that really shows how truly depraved Arlong is as a villain.
    I think Arlong may be my favorite "love to hate" villain in all of One Piece because of that, actually.

Maybe it could be a tactic by Imu to further divide people? Not only dividing the world with the Red Line, but cursing some people to a life of subjugation or isolation for crossing him, considering how the Buccaneers were treated by Celestial Dragons I wouldn't put it past the World Government

    love arlong being when one piece really built itself as one of shonen jump's greatest series(like how krillin/starting to focus on goku's growth with the tournaments helped save dragonball when before it was more closer to bulma's story.) and when i fully got into it when i already was enjoying the series(that alabasta/skypia.)/when i really loved nami as one of my favorite jump gals as i like how arlong cares for his crew compared to a majority of the villains and while it took till later on having a self contained story & my favorite luffy moment being when he describes the strengths of his crew/his own flaws & strength to help each other which i love way more than some other jump heroes resolves.
    kinda wish we saw arlong on fishman island as the main villain instead of hordy jones(or him hijacking it from him.) with luffy/nami(would've preferred her helping luffy or taking on zeo though her defeating fishmen way stronger than her is impressive.) taking him on with how it's likely we won't see him again.

    Even back when I was 13 and reading the Arlong park ARC for the first time, I have no such illusions that Arlong was anything less than a bloodthirsty monster. Yes, he acted as a big brother figure and loving boss to fellow fish men and crew members, but he also was corrupt to the core with how he was consistently bribing corruptible Marines like Nezumi. Teenage me knew appearing friendly and not likely to attack is how some merpeople lure in their prey, fish people in this case.
    While Sanji and the Baratie arc are what initially convinced me to stay with One Piece for the long haul, along with Drum Island and Alabasta’s adventures, Arlong’s arc still stands out as something I revisit now and again when on One Piece nostalgia trips. Especially now that Jinbe is an official member of the Straw Hat crew, I wonder how the “always had dreams of opulence/wealth and an innate desire for bloodshed” Arlong would react to his old Sun Pirates crew mate.

    15:40 I'm gonna go ahead and disagree on that point of Arlong being partly responsible for Nami's development, as I do not ascribe to the "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger" sentiment. It wasn't Arlong who made her decide to get stronger and stop crying, that came from Nami herself. We are NOT just the sum of our experiences, they shape us for sure but they don't define us, Nami could've just broke under all the trauma but she didn't and that was from her own strength. It isn't Arlong we have to thank for the Strawhats to have such a strong navigator, but Nami.

    • @Zoroforeverlost

      No but she decided to get stronger to fight against Arlong. Arlong was the driving force behind her growth as a character. Thus meaning Arlong is "responsible for Namis development". You counter point both of your points in this post.

    Nami's journey was also interesting as she was shown to be somewhat discrimatory vs Fishmen and dreaded the idea of going to Fishman Island but when she got to Saobody her beliefs were challenged and after hearing Jinbei's story she swore off her hatred of Fishmen with the exception of Arlong for personal reasons.

    Post Arlong Park, my head canon is he was arrested and made a slave in the holy land. Hears about nika while in there and the next time we see him is when he is set free by the Warrior of Liberation or Koala (Revolution Army.) He returns to Fishman Island and becomes the guy Fisher Tiger could've been if he didn't die.

  • @Encyclopedia_Brown97
    @Encyclopedia_Brown97 หลายเดือนก่อน

    There’s one aspect of Arlong that makes him nuanced: his genuine care for his fishman crew. By this point, we had seen several captains (Alvida, Captain Kuro, Don Krieg) who treated their crew as disposable tools or even harmed them directly. But Arlong actually expressed concern and even warmth for his fellow fishmen and called them his “brothers”. There was arguably more harmony between the Arlong Pirates than the Strawhats for most of the arc.

    I think Arlong is very well written antagonist and the only thing that is detremental to him that unlike Crocoboy and Flamingoboy is that he didnt get as much time as they did - Crocodile was hyped up by him being warlord of the sea just like Mihawk who we saw as absolute powerhouse and ofcourse the whole exploration of Vivi as a character so stakes were quite high, Doflamingo was in a way enigma ever since we saw him mysteriously manipulating some marines in the meeting room and then ofcourse his presentation in Paramount war and subsequent apearances in the New World and Law´s backstory also helped raise the stakes higher - ofcourse Arlong was direct threat to Nami but he didn´t get the build up and kingdom wide threat to make him S tier

    I think you should do Gecko Moriah next. Thriller Bark gets a lot of undeserved flack, in my opinion, and I know he is a somewhat unpopular villain. But in my opinion he is one of Odas best written characters.
    Moriah is literally a shadow of his former self, he suffers from heavy ptsd, and yet he pushed the whole crew to the point where literally everyone was about to get disintegrated. Although he had nowhere near the power he had when he was younger, he still managed to split an island with his fist.
    I hope we get to see more of him in the future, and I think he will be some sort of ally in the final war, ala Croco Boy during Impel Down/Marineford
