Kyle: "I'm reacting to the first eight openings of One Piece."
Every One Piece fan: "That feels weird, but I'll allow it."
Yea, I've seen a lot of people react to the openings, and never have I seen them break it up like this lol.
Accept it simply for the fact of how many openings One Piece has
Wait how else am I supposed to do it?
@@theduckgoesmoo literally everyone else who reacts to the anime openings of a series, reacts to all of them in me video. No pressure on you though to go with the trends or anything.
@@theduckgoesmoo Plus the second part has most of the best ones ( like the 14 and the 11 )
"1000 episodes, how?"
In simple terms, because it's just that good.
Length doesn't instantly qualify as good. Case in point, Family Guy and The Simpsons.
@@AutumnWoodham Those shows are episodic while one piece has a narrative.
@@AutumnWoodham At least One Piece has the benefit of being story-driven and made by a guy who planned most of it from the beginning, so it's not in as much danger of suffering burn-out. (And to be fair, I've seen some non-story driven shows last a long time without suffering seasonal rot. Bob's Burgers is still great, and heck, just look at Doraemon)
@@AutumnWoodham yeah one piece is not lomng enough
@@slashermaster28 I thought One Piece was supposed to end at Alabasta originally
"We Are" the first One Piece opening and is still memorable till this day. They even made a new special of the opening recently on episode 1000 using the animation of the current arc of the anime.
Very amazing opening especially the 1000 episode but “fight together” by far slaps the hardest
@@corbo9838 I think brand new world is the best opening
You guys say "that one is better" like isn't a matter of opinion
The only fact here is: the first one is the most memorable and special in the entire series. That's more than proved by toei themselves since they always remake/reuse it
I'm waiting for the version with 10 strawhats singing.
I cried watching the 1000th episode opening
Since you were confused about what was going on at the beginning of the 1st OP (since for some reason it didn’t include English subtitles), here’s what they say in the Funimation English dub (which is fairly accurate in translation):
Narrator: Wealth, fame, power… Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates, attained this & everything else the world had to offer. & his dying words drove countless souls to the seas.
Gold Roger: You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place! Now you just have to find it!
Narrator: These words lured men to the Grand Line in pursuit of dreams greater than they’ve ever dared to imagine! This is the time known as ‘The Great Pirate Era’!
Those words are burned into my mind, I hear them in my sleep from the box sets
Dub better
@@a.mseymour180 nope its not
@@Sir-Vesh
In my opinion it is. Don't try to change my mind
@@HamazuraGOD fair enough. Enjoy how you like to enjoy
I only have 2 words for you .. KEEP GOING.
The openings get more hype the further you go.
Hmmmm
@@theduckgoesmoo do it you coward!!.... Just keep the music volume low because copyright 😬
@@OtakuJuanma2 I was gonna say that as well. This guy playing them like copyright doest exist. 😂
true
As for the trees at the stern of the ship - these are tangerine trees, thanks to which the team has a constant source of vitamin C, so as not to get scurvy. And they are straight from Nami's hometown, so they have sentimental value for her.
Ohhhh fun fact I’ve never had a tangerine
@@theduckgoesmoo They're pretty good. One of the smaller and more tart cousins to a typical orange. There's also grapefruit, limes, tangles, clementines, blood oranges, Valencia oranges, lemons. Grapefruits are the most Vitamin C packed of citrus fruits, yet I HATE how they taste.
a note for the future. when you do get in to one piece proper, ask questions rhetorically. don't go hunting for answers out of the gate and be careful about comment sections on videos you do make regarding the series.
most one piece fans are generally more considerate of new viewers than fans of other anime so you won't have to worry too much about spoiler type stuff. that being said, it can be difficult to talk about some things within the series specifically as it's very easy to start talking about things that the series itself may have not made you privy to yet and i assure you that questions you do have about the world and its characters are by and large answered by the series itself. just sit back, enjoy the ride as you see fit and i promise you, you will find just about everything you're looking for in this series and then some
one piece is an adventure and is meant to be enjoyed like one.
Hes not gonna do proper because he doesnt have the time to
“How do you get a 1000 episodes?”
Well here’s the thing. The series creator Eichiro Oda is a bit of an insane genius. Oda has been planning One Piece ever since he was in school, crafting the world, characters and story from way back when.
This is more than just a silly pirate story, Oda had crafted a believable world with political and racial divides, functional economies, and entire cultures for each and everyone one of the islands in the series.
Oda is a long term writer who enjoys planting seeds for plot points that won’t sprout for 400+ chapters/episodes in a way that makes perfect sense but few would ever see coming…
So how does this series have 1000+ episodes? Because the creator is one of the most meticulous story writers in the world who has planned out almost every main story best years in advance. That’s how.
@@GirlofCulture Quite aggressive there. But personally I enjoy the journey, not so much just the destination. But I can understand why it might not be to everyone’s taste.
@@GirlofCulture ah, I get ya. Yeah that’s the weird nature of hype and humanity. Always the contrarians we are. It’s so bizarre when something gets so large it just becomes intolerable, ironic since nothing about it changes inwardly.
But hey as is life. At some point I just stopped caring about fandoms or sizes, focusing on the works solely for the sake of the work. Took a long while to get to do that though I’ll admit…
On an unrelated side note if you’d be interested in something that hasn’t been hyped up by everyone, but probably should be I’d like to recommend checking out the game “13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim” from VanillaWare. It’s on PS4 and coming soon to switch.
@@GirlofCulture
Funny that’s the experience you got.
And I mean that in the sense of I was lucky enough to find One Piece in my Middle School days and wasn’t really caring about fanbases at the time.
So I’ve had a more enjoyable time following the story.
The experience you got from the now bloated fan base and how they’re probably ruining it for other people as well, is understandable.
Based on your comments, you still gave it a shot and it wasn’t your thing.
One Piece is not something I consider a “Masterpiece”. Those labels ruin things for me.
Shonen anime are comfort food for our eyes and brain.
And people try to compare kishimoto to oda…😂
The nice thing about One Piece is that, while it is SUPER long, it's also split into very clearly-defined arcs, making it relatively easy to take breaks from and pick up again where you left off. There's a lot of continuity involved, sure, but it's an anime so you know there's gonna be flashbacks galore to keep you from getting lost. (Not to mention TH-cam comments.) So if by some miracle you do react to it, I'd recommend doing one big saga at a time and taking breaks to avoid burnout. You'll figure out pretty quickly where good stopping points are.
That's the same recommendation I have for OG Dragon Ball incidentally, though that isn't NEARLY as long.
As for what version, I'd watch any, but I've personally been attached to the Funimation dub for over 500 episodes now, so it'll be real weird getting used to anything else. Just as long as you avoid the 4Kids dub like the plague, least of all because it's long been discontinued.
yall dont just watch episodes for days on end?
The dub is sooooo good I'm glad it's continued. It also spoiled me because now I can't get used to some of the Japanese voices (lookin at you Franky)
Do check out the rest of the openings. Be advised, they double in length at opening 9. So, for keeping length in mind, maybe do four at a time. Also, to further explore One Piece lore, I recommend Grandlinereview's channel for more of that.
It's funny, I kinda get what he was talking about with the hype on the first opening. When I first started watching One Piece I didn't really like "We Are"....but once the Alabasta Arc wrapped up and it played to the Straw Hats escaping the Navy, I LOVED it. "We Are" is now one of my fav themes, just a good song for beginning/ending a great adventure
Please react to Openings through 9-16 or the next batch, they only get better from here!
There are actually 2 different dubs for One Piece. The first one was by 4Kids Entertainment, which had the rap and the second one was by Funimation, which used the original openings. They also did English covers of the first few opening songs, but switched to using the Japanese versions for the rest
by all means avoid the 4kids dub though, it butchered everything it showed before stopping
The only thing i liked about the 4kids dub was the voice actors i think they nailed them i don't really like some of the funimation VA but glad Nico Robin VA wasn't southern accent that was crap lol geez 4kids
There's actually a lesser known third English dub that was before 4Kids. It was by a company called Odex. They only did the first 100 episodes and the performances are very wooden and poor.
@@lordtoomas accept rhe 4kidz op was better imo
Hot take the Funimation version of We Are is somehow better then the original
Yesss please react to the other openings. One piece has been going on this long for a reason.its a damn good story and memorable characters. And is literally the second best selling comic series in the world. Just recently beating out batman and is only below superman.
Yup, it's been going for 24 years. I'am 24 lmao, began the show while it aired on french tv back when I was 10 ! It's a wild ride but it's worth it. Please don't rush it, don't trust the hype but trust your own pace and enjoy this wonderful adventure ! I highly recommend the Miyazaki movie "Castle in the sky" too, it's as amazing as One Piece !
The fact that he completely forgot who ACE and ZORO was even though he watch the death battles that covered their stories.
it's been covered that he has a horrible memory, it's bound to happen
@@lordtoomas my memory is very weird like I can remember hundreds if not thousands of TH-cam usernames from comments but I can forget the simplist things from a video I watch
The 1st opening "we are" is possibly one of the most iconic songs in all if anime (for me anyways). Also thank god you didn't have the 4kids one peice rap here xD
Omg yes you should react to the rest of the openings, they get better and better and tbh it would be hilarious to see you even more confused lmaoo
The reindeer character you kept seeing is named Tony Tony Chopper. He's a blue nosed reindeer that ate a devil fruit that made him half human. So he has human intelligence, and can shape shift into a number of different forms that blend his human and reminder features. He's also probably the smartest member of the main cast as he is not only the crew's doctor, but is one of the best doctors in the world of One Piece. He's also a capable fighter who learns martial arts later on in the series and combines that with his shape shifting to become even stronger. I'd highly recommend watching One Piece up though the first main story arc, which ends when the crew reaches a place known as The Grand Line. Seriously, I'm not necessarily saying you should react to it (although it would be awesome if you did), but at least give it a try in your own time, if nothing else. It has one of the best written worlds I've ever seen in fiction, and the overarching story, mysteries in the world, and characters are all great. It's the only anime I will rank above Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood with no hesitation, even if it is a REALLY huge series.
If something is good, it being huge is actually a plus if it doesn't tank in quality.
One piece is the rare RARE example of something that didn't, unlike Bleach (which became shit tier in the last arc due to rushing) and Naruto (wtf were ninjas about again? Stealth? Hold my nuke).
@@vitre69 Oh, I know. The only problem is that it's so big that it intimidates people into not even trying it. Like, it being big is fantastic, once you're into it. But even as someone who was a fan of One Piece as a child that couldn't watch any episodes for at least a decade after 4kids died, the idea of picking it back up was daunting as hell when I saw I had roughly 800 episodes to catch up on. I'm glad I did, but that episode count is even bigger now, and it undoubtedly seems even worse to people who don't even know if they'll like the series before they pick it up.
Running for more than 20 years and 1000 episode while still doing very well, I mean that’s how you know this show is something different with the others. Can’t tell you how great it is by words, you’ve to watch it to experience it.
"I have a feeling the One Piece isn't real"
I believe that is the ONLY spoiler thing the creator has confirmed, is that the One Piece IS physically something they will find, that it's not gonna end up being something abstract like "The One Piece was the adventure you had along the way" or anything like that lol
We still don't know WHAT it is, but it IS something!
Ooh, I'd definitely enjoy if you reacted to more One Piece OPs. Openings 11 and 13 are among my favorites.
Yes please react to the rest of the openings! And if you do decide to react to the series, I 100% reccommend it and it is well worth the watch!
Plot of One Piece: Wealth, fame, power. Gold Roger "The King of The Pirates" obtained this and everything else the world had to offer, and in his dying words drove countless souls to the seas. He said " If you want my treasure. You can have it. I left everything gathered together in one place. Now you just have to find it!" These words lured men to the grand line in pursuit of dreams ever dared to imagine.
Oh yeah, Please keep going, i enjoy it so much.
Subscribed!
Awesome!, I would love it if you reacted to the other one piece openings. keep up the great work😁
Wasn't expecting this but am so glad to receive it. Thank you for doing this!
It wasn’t planned at all but I’m glad everyone likes it!
15:42
"No idea who you are"
Didn't you react to an entire Death Battle with him in it? :P
To answer your question about the Calm Belts, they are the currents that border the Grand Line. They are called that because both stretches are completely calm water, no waves or wind at all. They are also populated by giant monsters because ships that land in the calm belt are basically stuck since they can't sail, making them easy prey.
Also reacting to more of the openings would be pretty cool.
He's actually watching them. Welcome to the crazy World of One Piece!
I know one piece is long, but it’s worth it. I have both watched and read one piece for over 4 years, I have read all chapters and watched all episodes in the anime. And I can tell you without a doubt that one piece is the single best piece of media I have ever seen. Even “bad one piece chapters” are still decent compared to other manga and the best chapters are some of the most exciting things I have ever seen. Also the openings are HEAVY spoilers, so I don’t recommend watching them until you’re past that arc. If you decide to get into one piece I can guarantee you, you will NOT be disappointed.
The openings really only spoil who joins the crew because everything else flashes by so fast most blind reactors won’t notice or remember it
It’s always funny seeing people who haven’t watched up to past the Grand Line ask what the hell Chopper is!
As most One Piece fans would say, it’s better to read it before watching since it’s easier to go at your own pace when you read and when you watch you can more easily avoid filler and junk. The fact that it has over 1000 eps AND chapters of interconnected story is honestly REALLY impressive!
Dubbed openings are very rare nowadays. The only ones that have dub openings are shows from the 90s that get new seasons (like Pokemon, Yugioh, and Dragonball) while One Piece does have a dubbed opening for the first one I believe it doesn't continue, and I could be wrong. But with streaming being more readily available, plus people preferring sub over dub anyway, dub companies find it to be a waste of time/money dubbing the openings
Enjoying your reaction to these, looking foreward to watching the other openings with you if you decide to continue. Some of my favorites are in the next few.
Haha! It's so humorous and intriguing seeing someone react either for the first time or with limited exposure to One Piece and its world, although your questions are many and there are many, mostly surface reasons for not getting into it, ie. length, unconventional for most action anime artstyle/character designs. Trust me, it's well worth your time and attention, the manga and the anime( _especially_ these past few years) have been wonderful!
Honestly, its all sooo weird to the naked eye but it honestly makes so much sense when you watch the anime 😂 its one of those things where you gotta experience it yourself to understand what the hype is about and i’ll tell you, its absolutely number 1 in my books. Its so much deeper than colorful figures and funny looking villains. This show holds so much depth it’s disguised by vibrant colors . Absolutely recommend One Piece, it might just change your life 💯
Fun fact near 8.30 when u see Usopp fish a Panda, that Panda appears here and there and often on cover stories and has his own little story going through all of the manga
All these intros are bangers and next 8 you do if you do them are bangers too
I actually just watched the first 4 episodes of One Piece as a test of whether I would be interested in it. I was. Really good show so far
Im usually following the general rule of giving a show a chance of 3-4 episodes to get me to keep watching but one piece unfortunately (as a show without really having seasons) cant really be measured that fast. I would actually recommend anybody to try to watch it at least till the end of the arlong arc, which would be around episodes 40-50 if im not mistaken. Its the first arc that catches most newcomers attention the most and gets them to commit to the big undertaking of watching the more than 950 following episodes over time.
@@paxo000 while I agree that it's length does lend itself to be judged on a larger portion of episodes. How am I going to watch 40-50 if I'm not interested in the first few episodes. Sometimes it's hard to force yourself though a series if nothing is gripping you. Besides I enjoyed it and I will probably get back to it at some point, but I have far too much on my watch list before I fall down the One Piece rabbit hole.
There is also a One Piece AMV you HAVE to check out. It's called "The Breathtaking World of One Piece", by Strawhat V. It's not that spoilery and mainly shows off all the exotic locales so far in the series.
I've never seen the series or read the manga proper, but have played enough of the games, seen most the movies, and watched enough retrospectives and stuff that I have ideas of the basics, but also hadn't seen most of these openings, so it's been neat going through them. I have always loved the second opening ("Believe") though.
Incidentally, since you brought them up, Calm Belts are the reason everyone looking for One Piece sails on "The Grand Line". A Calm Belt is basically a region of the ocean where there is no wind or forward movement, so you're just stuck there. Or you would be, if it wasn't also populated by the biggest and most horrifying sea monsters in the setting. Yeah, all those giant monsters and animals we see are basically the little ones, and the calm belts are full of the really scary stuff, so nobody sails there save a few very specially designed ships specifically made for being able to cross the Calm Belts, and I think they're like "count on your fingers" rare.
There was a dub that wasn't that great and had a pretty famous opening that is basically the meme gold standard for bad dub openings. Pretty catchy though. It later got a better dub but I'm not sure if the how much it has covered, I know it translated the original op but not sure if they did any others. You might want to react to the 4kids opening, it's pretty legendary.
I remember when I discovered one piece for the first time, I was watching it nonstop, I miss old drawing style 😊
Yeah The openings are great to explore, even if you know little about the series. Watching the whole thing is hard for newcomers to experience, but I'd argue its still one of my alltime favorite Shonin Jumps
The trees are an gift from the navigator Nami's sister and a memory from their home (their adoptive mother grew Satsuma manadrin's for a living).
Oh? Duckgoesmoo is thinking about reacting to One Piece? Awesome! Was a fan of your Red Vs Blue reactions so I'm looking forward to this possibility.
If you do react to it I personally recommend original Japanese, mainly because the Japanese VA for Luffy is fantastic. I reccomend dividing your One Piece reactions into several chunks, mainly by saga in the beginning or by arc when you get to the longers arcs. Watching One Piece seems like a daunting task (it kinda is) but if you learn to love the characters enough you will be willing to travel anywhere they take you, no matter how far or how long the journey takes.
This was quite fun, its always great seeing someone's first reaction to some of the wackiness of One Piece (which the Openings display fairly well).
It also really is interesting to just see all the Openings one after another, because it slowly makes you realize how much of a journey One Piece truly is. We start of with a small crew, which progressivley gets bigger and bigger, you see a bit of their growth in almost every opening, you see more and more of the joruney that the characters have overcome by how many side characters and new villains appear, and you even see the wear and tear on their ship over these openings, showing you that the journey is indeed hard and they do not come out of every situation without a scratch.
Its also quite fun how you can see in just 8 openings how iconic and memorable One Piece can be when the first opening "We Are!" already has a second version in opening 7, at which point One Piece was already airing for close to 10 years i think ?
When I watch the anime for the first time I saw the funimation dub version, but than I switch to sub because they only dubbed to a certain point of the anime and both versions are fun to watch. If you react to the anime one day, I would love to see your thoughts about it and like everyone here we be glad to help with any questions or stuff you didn't get it.
Yes, please react to other openings. Thank you and happy New Year.
YES PLEASE! IT’D MAKE MY DAY IF YOU REACTED TO THE OTHER OPS!!
In the 7-th opening, it's main characters' voice actors singing that song.
So, fun facts, "We Are" (the first opening and pretty much the main theme of the series) has been the opening many times. Like opening 7 is the same but has the Straw Hat crew's VAs singing it. Then there are remakes with different singers and even episode 1000 had a remake of the opening with new members, new animation and the like. It's really good.
It's also cool in some openings they animate some of Oda's (the creator of One Piece) color spreads. Those are 2 page spreads of art Oda makes sometimes when he isn't making fun one off images or little stories with characters before a new chapter begins.
“This is a lot different than the dub isn’t it?”
The first one. One Piece actually has two dubs. The second dub by Funimation uses the Japanese openings with custom made English lyrics. The first dub by 4Kids was a rap song. The 4Kids dub didn’t last long since they tried to make it more appropriate for younger audiences which due to the nature of One Piece it obviously didn’t go well.
Imagine that 4kids ruining something…
@@theduckgoesmoo Thing is I grew up on 4Kids. Imagine how heartbroken I was watching Yu-Gi-Oh in Japanese and learning that the Heart of the Cards and the Shadow Realm weren’t real. Just plain luck and people getting murdered.
@@theduckgoesmoo I know of an even worse case than this where 4kids eventually destroyed a show. Not the dub, surprisingly, but the Japanese version.
There's a really popular manga series in Japan called Kinnikuman. (Highly recommend checking it out. It literally started every major trend we associate with Shonen Jump) We only got the sequel series, Nisei, which was renamed Ultimate Muscle here.
The funny thing is, 4kids kinda knew of this one's existence before Toei could release it, so they actually got the rights to the show before it first premiered, and what they did was have the manga authors, Yudetemago (And yes, authors, since they use this as a team name for themselves) sign a contract forcing Toei to edit the anime from its much more graphic and raunchy manga counterpart and make it appropriate for young kids so 4kids wouldn't have to make any visual edits.
Japan hated this so much, they refused to support the show, leading to it being canned after one season. But the show wound up being so popular in the US, it got renewed for another season, not once, but twice. But yep, after season 3, that was it. It just wasn't making the profits it needed in Japan, resulting in two story arcs that may never be adapted to anime. (And we only got one of those arcs in North America. Unfortunately, the manga wasn't very successful here)
You know what duck you did make my day you should do another batch
Aww thank you for telling me!
The One Piece journey is worth every single page!! I sincerely hope you give it a shot
(And yes it’s been going on for 25 years. Personally, I’ve been reading it for over 15 and I love this show even more now than I did as a kid)
At 5:55 The calm belt is one of the most dangerous places to get to the grand line. It's full of sea monsters that you've seen so far.
The Reindeer is Tony Tony Chopper. He ate the human human fruit and can change into 3 forms, two more if he eats a rumble ball.
He's also the ship's Doctor.
The other woman is Nico Robin, She's the ships Archeologist formally worked for the leader of Baroque works as Ms. All Sunday She ate the Flower-Flower Fruit which allows her to sprout limbs from anywhere she wants.
One Piece started in 1997 The Anime in 1999. It has so many episodes because of the filler episodes.
Lastly, you should react to the appeal of One Piece: Where To Start by Super Eye patch Wolf.
I was born in 1997….
@@theduckgoesmoo That makes you the same age as one piece, and maybe Naruto. Or maybe the ending of Dragon Ball Z.
One Piece was first published in 1997. It's 24 years old, turning 25 this year.
the 4 kids intro was what i figured he was doing for the react, since that is what the parody is based on. but the originals are really good too.
The question everyone asks is always "How do they manage to hold a story for more than 1000 episodes?". It's pretty simply, actually: Story arcs!
The one and only main goal of the series is to find the One Piece, so, in the meanwhile, each new location they visit is an arc, with its own plot and its own goals to achieve while they're there, like rescuing someone, defeating someone else, obtain something.
The little reindeer is chopper, he is te ships doctor, he is a reindeer that ate a devil fruit, which is a fruit that gives wierd powers but curses the user, his gave him the ability to turn into a human, so he can change from normal deer to fur covered human with antlers and some forms in-between, he is usually in his small Hybrid form
I'd definitely love to see your reaction to the rest of the openings, for sure! And to the whole show, too, honestly.
One Piece has recently beaten out Batman as the second most sold comic book in existence(just behind Superman and it's catching up fast for number 1). As for why it is still going and why it is such a massive hit, Oda(the author) is a tremendously talented writer. Fantasy novel reviewers were recently pulled into doing reactions for One Piece and have likened the skill Oda puts into his story to literary giants like Tolkien(author of Lord of the Rings). One Piece is a comedic adventure story first and foremost, but it knows how to set things up and pay them off well.
If you'd like to see an amazing video explaining why One Piece is so adored/worth a watch after you do the rest of the openings, I highly recommend Super Eyepatch Wolf's The Appeal of One Piece: Where to Start.
And if you ever do decide to watch the show, I highly recommend the sub. I love many dubs for shows, but the sub for One Piece is just perfection. Luffy's voice actress is legendary. No one can outdo her amazing Luffy skills. Like, that scene from None Piece when Luffy is attacking the cat pirates: knowing a 60 year old little lady was screaming her head off in a recording booth and having the time of her life is too grin-worthy. She pours heart and soul into voicing him. Also, opening 7(the repeat of opening 1) is the Strawhat pirates(Luffy's crew) all singing it together for an anniversary of the show. And Luffy is the narrator of opening 4 talking about how excited he is to look for One Piece and become Pirate King.
I've been watching you and your awesome friend, Kirby, react to Helluva Boss and I saw your Zoro death battle a long time ago. Your reactions are great and I look forward to seeing more!
Also the crazy part about One Piece. Over a thousand episodes, and almost 2 thousand unique characters. And they make sure that 99.95% of every character has their own story, their own reasons, and a past that will either make you like them, love them, hate them, or relate too.
One Piece is coming up 25 years old next year!
1000 episodes
1000 chapters
100 volumes
Over 1000 'relevant' characters (there was a popularity poll recently of 1000 characters)
Holds the Guiness World Record for longest series written by a single author! (correct me if I am wrong)
Soon it'll be 25 years old.
Some answers to your questions!
-The ship, as well as the trees with tangerines on it, are important symbolically to certain characters.
-The ship does sustain a lot of permanent damage over the show! Sometimes by enemies, sometimes by the crew accidentally!
-I believe its Sanji (the blonde guy) or Nami (the red head) that actually does the hair maintenance on the ship. They also have fully functioning showers, toilets, etc. I believe there are official sketches of the internal structure of their ship, the Going Merry.
-As others have said, the original opening got redone for the 1000th episode with new animation and an updated crew!
-Number 7 you reacted to, was the same song as the original, but sung by the voice actors of the main crew. They have actually done several songs, many of them Christmas related, singing in their characters voices and it's stunningly cute 😂❤
-That "thing" with antlers is a young reindeer with high human level intelligence and speech. There are fruits that can turn people into animals (like tigers and eagles), humans are also animals and there's a "human-human fruit". He ate that one, so he can transform into like a big buff Sasquatch looking dude which is his "human form", the cute little guy which is called his "brain point form", and into an actual reindeer! (We imagine if a human ate this fruit, nothing would happen aside from you getting a bit smarter) 😂
xD so the story started in '97, and that 'thing' is the doctor (and has multiple shapes bc of course he does). If it's wearing the pink hat its the same Reindeer-guy.
"I'm sorry, did the boat just go up the waterfall?"
My thoughts at that: Ah, yes, the physics of One Piece, baffle the masses.
5:44 "is that an anthler deer thing"
I mean your not wrong
U asked if u should react to the next batch of openings, i just wanted to say yes please
7:16 "Are they have different narrator?" It's Luffy's voice.
i know this is gonna seem so stupid but i just wanted to say THANK YOU FOR SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT THE DRINK IN OPENING 4 lmao ive watched SO MANY peoples reactions to the openings and not one person has said something about that drink and every time i see the opening im like there's the really amazing looking drink again this may seem stupid but thank you 🤣
Opening 7 is basically op 1 but with the voice actors singing
Can i recomend a video called " The appeal of one piece: Where to start" by super eyepatch wolf. Also if you do react to one piece know that toei animation can and will claim it at any time even 5 years later. So if you react figure out how you want to react as well.
So since you are most likely not gonna watch it anytime soon (though i think reading it would be faster, people could read along since there is VIZ website or unofficial sites and you wouldn't get hit with copyright strikes from Toei since you wouldn't be showing clips) i thought it would help to explain a few things, mainly Devil Fruits.
You see: One Piece has this strange fruits that, once you taken one bite of you gain 1 power. Now where they originate from or if anyone just create is still unknown but they are so mysterious that they are only one kind of each power meaning if someone eats one, that power is their's and their's alone. No two powers are the same. Though there are powers that are alike like controlling ice or controlling snow. Also, if the user dies, the fruit is reset into the world into a new fruit, literally going into a normal fruit and transforming it into a devil fruit. Also: no one person can eat two fruits. We haven't seen it happen but it has been said that someone tried and disintegrated. Oh! Also: once you eat a fruit, you can never swim again. You just sink like a hammer. Now, that doesn't mean you can never go towards water, you can still take showers, bathes and such, but once you are in like ankle deep water, you get weak and start to drown. Now you can still use your powers, which we say Luffy had he's head stretching out from the water (long story) but that was with help. You can float on inflatables though and be fine, you'd just be floating and needing help out.
So, that's just the basic knowledge of Devil Fruits but the real interesting thing about them is the powers, specifically the types. See: Devil Fruits come in 3 separate types: Paramecia (pair-a-me-c-a), Logia (Low-ge-a) and Zoan. Each of these types give the user a specific power that is stranger than the last.
Starting with Paramecia: it's kind of a "anything goes" set of fruits. The best example is, of course, Luffy who ate the Gum Gum Fruit and he's body turned to Rubber (Rubber in Japanese is "Gomu") and now he's entire body is a rubber, and yes: Every. Part. From he's skin, to he's bones, to he's organs, everything turned to rubber. Though that's just one power, most can be activated like turning your body into blades or producing wax from your body. And some are pretty bare bones like increasing your weight or talking to animals.
Speaking of animals: the Zoan fruit. This is pretty basic to since the main power is giving the user the power to transform into animals. Chopper, the Reindeer Human in the crew, is a good example. He ate the Human Human Fruit and thus can change from a Reindeer form, a hybrid of the 2 (the cute form he normally stays in) and a full human form. (Grant it, as the doctor he has found ways to get more transformations though drugs, but that's only he's own ways). Not to mention sub species like different dogs, cats, animals that are related like cows and bulls and such, as well as Mythical and Ancient animals like A Phoenix or Dinosaurs. It's pretty wild once you get to those.
And finally: Logia. It's also pretty basic but possibly the strongest fruit category: the ability to produce, control and become the elements. A good example is Luffy's Brother, Ace, who ate the Fire fruit and thus can use and become fire. And when you activate the power, you pretty much become immune to physical damage. Grant it, Haki (that's it's own topic for another day) can harm you, but training to avoid damage is possible. And Logias come in sorts of powers, some greater than others, like one can be a swamp man who is just a body of mud that can sink anything inside or the power of light and darkness. So basic yet powerful.
So yeah, if a character just happens to be separated from their body or turn into a Triceratops: it's a Devil Fruit. Though~ don't be confused since there are normal humans who just have super human abilities.
6:35 Ok that gave me a good laugh
9:27 To repair damage
11:06 Some can ask the same of you
15:07 He's the doctor
1503 videos on this channel now I believe
One piece is an amazing series. You can react to either the eng sub or dub. I would personally recommend the original Japanese version but that’s just my preference.
Also, you should react to the other openings. It just gets better.
One Piece Reactions Would be a Long Series that's For Sure XD

"It looks like the ship's had some damage to it"
Me: *Starts to tear up*
Kyle at opening 5: " looks like the ship is a little damaged there "
Me: oh boy...
I was introduced to One Piece through fanfiction, first a crossover with Naruto (Shinobi of the High Seas) followed by what's considered one of the best One Piece fics ever, This Bites! by Xomniac.
Well, I say "introduced," but I had watched the infamous 4Kids dub once upon a time, I had just forgotten about it for a while because 4Kids did some really bad stuff to it (like removing a plot-relevant character because they didn't think he'd be plot relevant).
To be fair, 4Kids knew they wouldn't treat it right and tried to not take it, but the company they were getting some other shows from said they had to take them all or none of them.
That being said, I would definitely be interested in watching you watch the show, because it is an amazing show. If I had any editing skills whatsoever, I'd volunteer them in a heartbeat (especially because then I'd get to see your un-edited reactions).
"It's not in english?"
Well, there is an english version of the first four openings, if you wanna hear it.
I don't really understand why some people seems to dislike the dub so much? Why would anyone force themselves to watch a series in a language they don't understand and read subtitles, when you have it in a language you can understand, and therefore, better keep up and actually follow what's happening.
I really don't get people sometimes.
Its funny the JSDF navy band actually plays a lot of one piece music. Basically the bad guys of the one piece world playing their music. You should check out the videos
Whatching thw first opening: I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!
Me: Don't worry, you'll have more.
The first opening narration is as follows:
Wealth, fame, power. The world had it all won by one man: the Pirate King, Gold Roger. At his death, the words he spoke drove countless men out to sea.
"You want my treasure? Find it. I left everything I possess, there"
And so men set sights on the Grand Line, in pursuit of their dreams. The world has truly entered a Great Pirate Era! ”
The third intro, "Hikari E" has an English version that absolutely slaps btw.
Kyle: -tons of questions-
Me: .... SLOW DOWN! one at a time! also thats Chopper. The ships doctor. Let that sink in.
Fun fact: There's going to be a Netflix live action adaptation of One Piece, and Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, is heavily involved with the production and script-writing. He was even the one with final say over the casting!
Imma sell you on One Piece right now.
The reason they make 1000+ episodes is because the story is incredibly expansive. Oda keeps putting stuff in that he wants to explore its nuts, the guy is a creative machine.
Not only that, but the main selling point of the show is his world building. Fans that stick to it can attest that they almost watch the show like they do the news, to know whats up in the world. Because Oda doesn't talk only about the main cast, he also tells about how the different factions, groups and cogs of the world turn and affect the story.
One Piece isn't the best anime in the world, but no one can deny that we'll never see anything like it again for a long while.
It's legendary on what it does.
I am watching One Piece right now. Only at episode 582 and started back in june. I decided since I watched so many other over 100 episodes animes that I would give it a try. I was going to dodge it but after watching a blind review on it, I was interested. It also helps when you skip the filler which is 100+ episodes.
Just do it dude. Your viewers will thank you.
the second We Are opening is actually sung by the straw hats, that's why it sounds a bit different
btw i whatched one piece to the 1005 episode and i still love it so mutch
Well a bit of a contributing factor in 1000 episodes is that (I think) the anime has caught up with the manga. So each episode is now one chapter of the manga. Although this has lead to the episodes in the recent arcs to be…padded to fit guides on episode lengths. A lot is from doing a recap at the beginning of every episode and there tends to be an increase in frames/focus on people’s shocked expressions.
please, please, please! watch the next set of openings!! opening 11 is my favorite before a certain part of the story happens, I'm pretty sure it was covered in DB but just to be completely sure this won't be considered as a spoiler.
theduckgoesmoo: I have so many questions!
One Piece Fans: Welcome to One Piece!
I don't care about One Piece, but I am FAIRLY certain nobody wanted you to react to dubbed openings xD
Oh hey, on that note, would you consider watching all of the Japanese Openings of Pokemon Anime? They're great^^ Plus at least you'd know the show this time :p
Those oranges are to prevent scurvy lol, characters do die (not the strawhat crew) and yes the narrative gets really dark and bloody as you learn more of the world setting.
I would love to see you react to more openings and endings. I know Crunchyroll’s TH-cam channel has One Piece and other anime openings and endings as well.
If you have any more interest in One Piece, there are three Videos i would kinda enjoy seeing your reaction to.
The first one is a very cool (although slighty spoiler heavy) video showing off the entire world of One Piece;
th-cam.com/video/AcSVkCNDLZg/w-d-xo.html
The other two are made by a channel called Super Eyepatch Wolf, called "The Appeal of One Piece: Where to Start", and "Why you should watch/read One Piece". Both are excellent videos showcasing why One Piece is so beloved, and why it is definetley worth the watch, and although they also contain some slight spoilers, they are still a good videos to get to know more about why One Piece is so beloved without necessarily having to commit to watching or reading it yourself.
and this is how it begins
A friend sold me on Onepiece before I saw anything, then Onepiece sold itself to me. He hit me with the classic: "Have you ever cried about a cartoon? would you like to?"
You gotta continue now that u are at opening 8, also some openings have different versions due to story progression, also you said they dont kill off people easily, you have no idea what has happened yet!
Now if u are interested in it, but dont wanna watch like 1k episodes, just watch the movies, cuz 3 movies are about the story just showb differently. Honestly i would say watch the episodes, you wont lose anything. And its a fun watch!
