Whitebeard was indeed the strongest man in one piece world.... Dude grew a moustache and called it a beard... No one said a peep..😶😶
No hate, love the joke. But in Japanese, his name is basically White Mustache. However, that doesn't sound nearly as good in English. So translators changed it in the subtitles and the dub to say White Beard.
Nothing to add.
Good one mate
That's because hige is used for beard as a mustache in Japanese
Yes, just yes
@The_S0nneteer interesting
The fact that Gol D Roger was his dad and Ace's life was a living hell because of it. Edward Newgate was the father he wanted. I get Ace's actions.
And in the end, blood ended up proving true because he acted just like his bio dad would have, but also... just like his actual dad did. It's such a tragic and painful character moment because once you read the ace, luffy and sabo history, you see that he's always been that way. Then it connects back to Alabasta and being unable to leave until he was sure Luffy was safely away from Smoker and his obstinancy in protecting the Spade pirates when being recruited by Whitebeard... ugh, heart. ;.;
@@7thlittleleopard7 no it's tragic because he was chained to his past and couldn't let go of the hate he felt for himself and his legacy. The point is he wasn't Roger and that's why he died because he wasn't his father.
@@bman1742 true
Yeah no he was right but uh......AFTER marine ford preferably
@@bman1742 nah, he died acting the way his father would have.
I believe that choosing Duty over Family has left Garp a broken man. Sengoku knowing Garp's state of mind knew the whole time that Garp could end up turning on them which is why he kept looking at Garp and questioning him during the war. Garp betraying Marine would give * "EMOTIONAL DAMAGE" to all Marines. For Garp is the "Hero of the Marines". It'd cause chaos to those who idolize him as his "HERO". What even is Justice, if Garp saved Ace, A criminal, Big threat, to the World Government?
Justice is subjective, that's why every admiral has their own brand of it. If Garp had his way and ripped Akainu apart, it would have been "Familial Justice" or something (insert Fast and Furious meme here)
I still wanna see Garp trounce Akainu, ngl.
I've always loved Thriller Barque no matter what anyone says. I don't even dislike Gecko Moria.
@@etinarcadiaego7424 yes thriller bark was good but it was surrounded by two great arcs I wish it could have been spaced out a little better so it gets more shine.
If garp wouldve betrayed them, I wonder if aokiji would've?
😂read it in steven he voice emotional damage
If katakuri had been at Marineford, would he have tried to eat an ace flavored donut?
Probably lol but random, I like to think Luffy got his strategy of "run and come back later" he used against Kat, by learning from Ace's screw up
Ohh no
can he handle the heat?
That's why Sengoku had to hold down Garp, the donut was just too appealing
this was a comment he brought up in a video multiple years ago m8
I think the reason why Kiado was blown past is due to how much of his back story is tied to The Rocks pirates. There’s going to be some backstory about them, and oda didn’t want to give too much away. It’ll probably be right after egg head or during.
Nah bro
Agreed
Very plausible
I don't agree big bom was in rocks pirate before kaido yet he was able to show bigmom butt not kaido
@@gojumjilen1396 I'd say its because Kaido's backstory is linked to Joy Boy and Oda didn't want show that yet.
In my opinion I think Ace's death was beautiful because of what shanks said. He said Roger would have done the same thing for his crew but just that Ace was not strong enough. Some may think it is a dumb way to die but to me its beautiful how much ace loves and respects his crew.
He did the opposite to what Pops ordered
I actually like how Ace died, it is just so realistic and makes sense for his character and it also makes it more tragic because it could have been avoided.
I mean how many people die in real life because they did some stupid shit or they made poor decision?
I mean how many people in life have been goaded into a fight because someone else calls your loved one something you just can't let go? It was something most of us can relate to, but we didn't have to have a lava fist go through us in response.
Realistically Luffy should have died a dozen times before this
@@SlashinatorZ realistically he dies in the whirlpool before he even gets on a ship. Tbh...
@@Someaddress555sTrue but to be fair, if I was Luffy and you were Ace, and you got yourself murdered after we tried our best to free you, I'll be sad but I'll also call you dumb as heck.
@@blacksmoke6292 where did I claim it wasn't a dumb emotional response? He was 20 when he died, and I'd expect a 20 year old to be easier to manipulate emotionally like that than someone in their 30s or older.
"What changed post-timeskip?": I think I'd say the story become less character-driven and became more plot-driven. We basically stopped getting new crewmates post-timeskip, so the focus was less on the characters and more on world-building. Pre-timeskip, each arc was basically driven by solving a problem for someone we got to know and care about over the course of the story. Post-timeskip, each arc is more about filling us in on the politics of the world and how everything connects together. Wholecake was kind of a exception, since we got to learn a lot more about Sanji, and I think it was a stronger arc for that. Post-timeskip, a lot more of the mysteries of the world came into focus.
I think this is partially why everyone keeps expecting different characters to join the Strawhats, like Carrot and Yamato. We've been trained to think that every character we care about WILL join the Strawhats, because that's how the story worked Pre-timeskip.
And it's no secret the other Strawhats, other than Luffy, just haven't gotten as much time to shine, Post-timeskip. They're almost background characters in the manga. We really haven't gotten as many heartfelt or emotional moments with them as we did Pre-timeskip. But, that's because they're NOT the focus, the world-building and politics and mysteries are.
There's also the smaller power issue. Pre-timeskip, the Strawhats were basically the scrappy underdogs, having to try to be clever to get around the problems they came up against. Post-timeskip, they're all a lot stronger and more capable, which makes grunts and smaller enemies a non-issue. Pre-timeskip, there's NO WAY Usopp could handle a dozen grunts, but he can one-shot the group of them now. It changes how the fights work. There's also a bit of inconsistency, since characters like Nami and Usopp feel like they can vary in strength almost from scene to scene.
There's also the panelling. Over the years Oda has just crammed more and more detail and panels into the page-space. Compare a page from the manga from the beginning to today. Where before, he might have a few pages that only had 3 larger panels on a page, nowadays almost every page is 6 or more panels PACKED with detail. It's impressive...but it can also feel a little claustrophic. It's all just a bit much, and it kind of messes with the flow a bit. And I think it's kind of hurt the appeal of Gear 5 a bit for me. It's a over-the-top cartoony form that FEELS like it should be breaking page-borders and be huge...but it's kind of constrained by the smaller, more numerous panels.
Each arc has also gotten MUCH longer Post-timeskip. Where before we had a few smaller arcs, Post-timeskip has been made up almost exclusively of longer arcs. Maybe this is part of the world-building and how each arc feeds into one another, but it changes how the pacing works, too. Wano was the biggest offender by far. Wano was long. Maybe too long. But, like Skypeia, I'll bet there's a reason why we spent so long there.
It is still character driven , but the strawhats aren’t the focus anymore
Even though I don't like how Ace died, genuinely think less of him for it, and think he was an idiot because of it, I don't think it's bad writing. It feels pretty in character for him given how much he clearly cared for his family. Especially because of the irony that Whitebeard loving Ace like a son and him loving WB as a father in return is ultimately a LARGE part of what got him killed.
But if Ace deserved to die for getting carried with his emotions then Luffy & every Strawhat should have died at multiple moments too
@@SlashinatorZ I never said Ace deserved to die. I said the way he died fits his character, because he's both stubborn and overly defensive when it comes to family. So while I think he's an idiot for doing it and I actually like him less for it, it isn't bad writing like a lot of people have claimed. And that's because Ace starting a fight because he loves his family falls in line with his established pattern of behavior.
@@MoostachedSaiyanPrince well I think Squard should have died in his place.
@@SlashinatorZ ace's death was meant to be an emotional moment for the viewers and push luffy to get stronger. Squard dying would provide nothing to the story. The narrative always come first,
i agree that it fits his character, especially after reading the ace novels. I dont think less of him for it. He loved Whitebeard and that love and ambition was something he risked dying for. truly heartbreaking and dumb choice but I could see any of the straw hats having a similar moment.
I do understand why people feel like One Piece is going too slow especially if you're reading week-to-week.
But honestly... I'm always amazed on how much Oda manage to cram up so much informations in so few pages, especially in the recent chapters.
Please, go back and read the last 10 chapters or so, and you might realize how fast everything is moving in the story.
You can say that again. I mean, people rave about Chainsaw Man, but reading it weekly is the same thing as browsing over a leaflet regarding how much content there is in each chapter
1084 was fire!! and 1085 is going to drop some bombs! xD
Now it is, after 20 years of turtle speed. I’d like to see the ending before I die.
There will never be a time when EVERYONE who reads/watches any piece of media will all be happy about it. There will be things one group loves while the other hates it.
As for new members to the crew, almost every arc has had that one or two pseudo members that will be kinda apart of the crew for that time. They won’t always fully join the crew but they’ll basically be an honorary member. While not official, Yamato and Carrot are Straw Hats, much like Vivi is basically apart of the crew
Each crew member has their reasons for being on the crew. Vivi, for instance, is but has duties elsewhere so she can’t SAIL with the main body. One day, at the end of One Piece, the Straw Hats will have a MASSIVE party involving everyone they’ve made friends with and it will be the biggest event in history.
P.S. I bet that’s how it’s gonna end.
Carrot got done dirty. Didn't even get a goodbye panel like Yamato did.
Every one was happy with the recent kamusari that happened
This is what makes Sakazuki really dangerous , that he is almost as strong as a yonko and he also this much smart to play dirty and taunt Ace into his death ☠️☠️☠️🔥🔥🔥
No other strong characters would stoop so low ,except Blackbeard 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is one thing I really respect about Kaido is that he absolutely hates it when somebody interferes in his fights and always wants a clean battle without interference. That's why he killed Higurashi and that CP0 agent. Akainu would have taken a weak W like that pretending like he was a Chad.
@@retrogamermax8287 exactly 💯, he played dirty and made whitebeard's subordinate attack him no other So strong character would do this in one peice .
I feel like Doflamingo would stoop that low, he wants to mess with your head so you're not on your game.
@AW I believe he would because Doflamingo is a natural Celestial Dragon in nature.
@@Someaddress555s yes he definitely would and ther many more characters who also would but they are not as strong as akinu that's what makes him most terrifying
Big Mom was terrifyingly brutal, the way she can change on a dime from a emperor to a child then murderous mindless child with strength and power beyond anyone else.
I agree with the you on the tension argument. I had to stop reading Dressrosa twice because I felt a slog. I thought I didn’t like one piece anymore, but I took a break and now I’m back reading weekly.
I think the reason people complain about post time skip is because it hasn't reach the highest of pre time skip yet so when you view both as one big blob of story then post time skip just feels lack luster despite them both having relatively the same quality overall.
IDK, I feel like the build up to Wano is very much an Enies Lobby moment but on a longer track. The reveals, the history and the connections finally drawn and put to rest really make it a non-stop ride for me. It may be that people need to re-read since week-to-week does make it feel less than, but it has such the same build. Man, Wholecake vs Enies Lobby is mirror.
I wrote a whole theory thread but they're literally retreading the same story beats through the New World as they did in Paradise. WCI is W7/EL, Wano is Thriller Bark, we're currently at Saobody again, so shit's gonna get realllll.
@@7thlittleleopard7 NGL I've always seen Wano as the post ts Thriller bark but the idea always just sounded so ridiculous in my head. Glad to see someone have the same thought.
@@lilpenn7516 it sounds ridiculous because wano was metaphorically dark while thriller bark was literally dark😁
In all seriousness I felt like wano was a deja Vu moment but I couldn't put my finger on it, thank goodness others felt it too and put it in words
To me it's more a matter of how post time skip things have gotten so much more plot driven than anything. I mean this series was always more plot than character driven, but personally I just miss the amount of zany and endearing dynamic interactions the crew used to have in the first half of the series.
Like Zoro and Nami's specific brand of tongue slashing and contrasting personalities for example is one of my favourite recurring bits of character interplay within the crew and far as I can recall they haven't even had an onscreen argument with one another since Zou.
@@jondoe7036 I feel like Zoro used to have more of a sense of humor to him, now he's just "I'm Gonna Get Strongest" generic anime guy and the one getting lost joke and I don't quite get why people like him so much lol. Not that he's even a bad character just the least interesting strawhat to me these days.
Oda's foreshadowing bit is one of my fav parts about one piece, sometimes it really does feel like he planned out every step but looking at it further a younger Oda really set himself up for all of his future events whether he knew what he was doing at the time or not.
I think he had major plot points mainly figured out early, but then as we know about his character design, he would get an idea and weave it into existing characters and his world. I mean look at Lola on Thriller Bark, who knew she was Big Moms daughter when they were partying after Moria fell because at that point we'd barely heard about the Emperor's let alone seen one besides Shanks or shadows of them when mentioned. Oda is one of my favorite world builders in fiction and is up there with George Lucas, Tolkien, and others who created massive fictional worlds.
@@Someaddress555s I can't even remember if Big Mom was name dropped by that time. I know that Moria was the first to name drop Kaido.
@@Dreq458 I think she was mentioned at the same time if I remember right, but they were kinda just shadows or vague sketches like what we've seen of Rocks D Xebec so far. I vaguely remember the scene being like 4 shadows, but you could kind of make them out now that we've seen them. I was more just using Lola as an example of a seemingly one off ally of the Straw Hats who we wouldn't likely hear from again, who later tied to a hige plot line, and idk if Oda had that planned or added it.
I'm kinda jumping around rewatching arcs right now, if I see it when I go to Thriller Bark soon I'll let you know.
And I'm still curious about that Kaido Moria fight on Wano...
He likely had a plan for certain things from the start and along the way built upon it knowing the ultimate plot layout for the end. No author ever has 100% planned from the start because idea's can change or branch out as you write. Having the main narrative planned and building onto it is what has allowed one piece to have such depth because he has never scrapped the main plan and only built on it with tons more depth as the story had gone.
@@Dreq458s someone who just watched Thriller Bark a few months back. Big Mom wasn't mentioned by name but Lola gives Nami a vivre card that will lead them to "my mom, a powerful pirate in the New World" something like that. But the name Big Mom isn't said. And even tells her and Luffy "If you ever run into any troubles, you just follow this and ask my mama to help you out okay?" Watching Thriller Bark as a fan who has knowledge of future OP events and already knows who Big Mom is, its pretty hard to miss the resemblance of Lola and Big Mom (large women with pink hair, big noses and big red lips) when I heard " powerful pirate in the new world" I looked at her and immediately thought wait...Big Mom?
I still get hyped and feel the tension for One Piece when I read weekly! But I'm not thinking about if the straw hats will get through something. I only think about how they will. Because Oda always flips something on its head by the end of an arc!
The Egghead arc murder mystery was very tense. It could have dragged out a chapter or two more and still have been tense. I've loved it. (I'm honestly not happy we've diverted to other parts and away from Egghead, but I understand this is information we need to build up to something big, so I'll trust that in retrospect and on re-read it'll work out fine like it always has when it comes to pacing.)
...I just want that Kuma lore drop. C'mon Oda. Give a girl her fix, man. ;.;
@@7thlittleleopard7 he’s dangling it in front of us like a carrot… come Oda, you’ve built this up for years, give it to us!
@@omegashark1837 we all know how the CARROT ended🐰
@@omegashark1837 but the delayed gratification with finally seeing Garp or Shanks go off was so good I'm OK with being patient.
I love kaido backstory. He is a boy soldier that survive everything, he was supposed to die on the first day but he became the strongest beast and that's why he only respect power and expect other people to be powerful or be dominated. Hope that is expand in the anime
Fun reminder: During the Impel Down escape, there were three Yonko in the prison at the same time. That prison had zero chance to survive them.
That and the monstrous dumb luck Buggy D. Clow and Luffy combined created
Explaining Ace's demise as a Shakespearean tragedy is a connection I wish I made myself. Thank you, Liam, fellow thespian.
I also love that image of the Renaissance painting and it looks like Shakespeare is copying the work of Oda
Let's be honest during the Marineford war,Blackbeard learned more than anyone why we call Whitebeard,daddy because he got a facial (quake on his face)on worldwide television.
The best parts of one piece are the ends and beginnings of arcs because that's where Oda sets up all the great moments .
I think the manga moves quite fast right now
the only moment when i really felt that the story just stopped moving foreward was when i was still watching the anime weekly because that was the time where queen was spreading this ice oni plague and it felt like they moved 3cm foreward every episode and not a single bit more
I think pre timeskip had a more “Ok we have this big problem, how do the straw hats find a way out of this?” Vibe vs post timeskip having a “Ok what’s going to save the Strawhats this time?” Pre timeskip, with situations like Enel’s logia and observation haki, having Luffy shut off his brain and use his own devil fruit as a counter is interesting. Whereas in Wano Luffy gets knocked off and oh there’s the Heart Pirates to just fix him up
I dunno...
Arlong Arc: Luffy stuck at the bottom of the pool, Gen-san keeps his head above water so he doesn't drown
Loguetown: A random lightning saves Luffy's life
Alabasta: Robin saves him from death after his first fight with Croc, the blop of water falls on him after he got sucked dry by Croc during second fight.
Saboady: They were fucked, then Kuma came and saved them
Impel Down: Luffy got rotflstomped by Magellan, luckily Iva's right-hand person came and saved him.
Could probably dig up more but the gist of it is that there's always some narrative bias to save Luffy and his crew.
I can never get enough of one pieces world.On the contrary,oda is adding way more details these days and every chapter has me feeling like another citizen in the world reading the newspaper on the biggest happenings of the world
Thriller Bark is a fantastic arc, what are people smoking when they didn't like the arc? It had so much good in it. It was a fun adventure on a spooky island. It is, and will always be, one of my favorite arcs. "It doesn't feel One Piece" ??? What are people talking about!? I am so confused with the minds of the fan base. You guys make no sense.
Skypie and Thriller Bark are for me one of the most adventureous arcs in One Piece and I love them for it
Also big fan of horror so Thriller Bark was even more fun ride because of it
@@Nagadirchan Yea, exactly, they are just really fun arcs.
I like scooby doo, so I like thriller bark
That very last frame was sick liam
Ace’s death was taken strait from the Back II The Future series. Calling Marty McFly a “yellow” or “chicken” or “a coward” would always bait him into a fight. You can’t change my mind.
A note about the Shakespearean characterization about Ace: character flaws and traits are the same, just reversed Ace is loyal to a fault. Loyal to his crew and hunt down an ex brother? Positive loyalty. Unable to let someone who doesn’t matter bad mouth your father figure and letting said loyalty keep you from escaping? Negative loyalty. It’s not bad writing or out of nowhere. It’s just showing his character fault.
Also I think we need somebody to power scale the straw hats through the entire series and then after that redo the true bounty series
Oda's real superpower is the same as you want from a great GM imrpovising and connecting stories together.
I for one absolutely love the fights and how they are somewhat predictable. If you pay attention to specific attacks you can see how it changes based on their growth. I enjoy small things like that too.
I’d rather have oda move quickly now in the series before he ends up like tagashi, who’s gonna leave HxH unfinished before he dies.
Wait what? Tagashi make not live to finish Hunter X Hunter? How bad is his health?
@@retrogamermax8287 he has a really bad back rn, and releases ten chapters every 4 years. Plus he’s getting to that age where he may pass soon.
The pacing issue after catching up has happened to me with chainsaw man too. Pre part 2 seemed more engaging, tense, and dramatic than part 2 but probably because its hard to keep tension with one chapter every 2 weeks
thriller bark was awesome. brooke's backstory, the change in scenery, the comedy, and really just everything about it besides gecko moria.
having a week long break between chapters is the thing that creates the tension, being able to read the series in one go makes it all smooth out without any tension, but thats just my experience
I also hope on the next anniversary of one piece they announce a series about gold d roger adventures so we can see the journey of roger
Regarding Thriller Bark, this is why I tell people all the time to consume each arc as a standalone anime/manga, and the next one is just the sequel. That way, you can look at each arc more standalone and appreciate it for what it is. I'm so glad to see someone else verbalized something similar.
i think its better for oda to keep up the high pacing as it gives the anime more content to explore upon like oda can do a fight off screen and anime can show it its a win win.
To enjoy the rollercoaster I tend to read the manga every other month
So I have a few chapters to go through each time
Just like now, I’m finally trying to catch up on your video’s because I haven’t watched your channel since the end of Wano.
So much fun and helps to put the whole egghead and stuff in between into perspective. (And there are a lot of videos, Yaay)
Regarding odas foreshadowing I’m pretty sure he’s said in an sbs is that he often gets side tracked when writing and so that has the added effect of stuff getting closure much later on than he originally wanted so it kinda looks like he plans this stuff way in advance
Big Moms appreciation, lets go!
I feel like Oda hasn’t given franky a solid MVP moment since dressrosa when he wanted to help the tontas and his senior pink fight. Granted he wasn’t in whole cake but throughout wano, he was really meh including his fight with sasaki. I feel like egghead could’ve given him the much needed upgrade he needed before the whole sci fi horror fiasco.
Love the video and keep up the great work liam
Very glad for the recent pacing. We're actually getting new information and development each week, back on Egghead each straw hat feels actually present and participating. I honestly haven't enjoyed One Piece this much since pre-timeskip.
The difference between pre timeskip and post timeskip is the hype;its like everything is for hype and not to make the characters better and enhance the story
I agree with the foreshadowing one! I think what happened is he foreshadow few keys componenent, but retcons the lesser details
I definitely do feel tension reading weekly. It just doesnt last forever and disapates over time before next chapter is out.
I caught up to the series by the time one piece was a week away from doing the first chapters after wano. The egghead stuff while cool wasn’t the same as reading it all together. I’m sure going back it will be great but that’s how I felt. I will say the recent chapter a are very entertaining and are a highlight of every week for me (sometimes biweekly). There’s so much more going on and I like how dynamic it is. This is a newcomers perspective so I’d like to hear any of your weekly reading transitions.
Everything in the story is amazing it is just that our expectations have grown far to high
That's the problem with the one piece being real, real question is: can we get much higher?
@samurai tadpole W
Can we get much higher?
@@A_Random_Person3150kizaru?
I finished Thrillerbark in a day, so it was a blast for me! It has great comedic moments and some crazy cool action. Nightmare Luffy vs Oars & Zoro vs. Raiyuma are my favorite action scenes until Marineford.
4:38 I think thriller bark getting hated is a bit from a meme of people asking about thriller bark and the only response being "Nothing happened"..... the meme killed the hype for the arc lol
But the apperance of kuma is something else
@@toucheyes9248 exactly. I think because of the nothing happened moment. It led to a misunderstanding that nothing happened in thriller bark for people who haven't seen the show
Relating to the last bit: What do you think about the idea of more detailed story parts in the anime? It struggles to keep a good pacing anyway and it would be a great way to expand Kaidos backstory and show offscreen fights
Perfect content to clean my room 💯💯
Spot on. Fights are less interesting to me on a weekly basis. I just want more of the story! 😭
imo the only bad thing about Thriller Bark is that is little bit too long (clarification there are parts of arc especially in middle that could be done quicker or didnt even need to be done at all)
3:24 - I like to call this "backlighting". Since it's the opposite of foreshadowing.
7:41 my GOODNESS that is some spicy Robin art !!
Creating a Live action remake I agree no way it can live up to the anime we’re asking too much out of humans.
Luffy is animated literally 😂🤣his facial reactions the goofyness
I'm not expecting perfection, personally, but the actor for Luffy is pretty expressive and really has that Luffy energy, so I have hope that his character will get across, and that it will draw people into the story enough that they will go looking for the rest of it and find the anime or manga and become fans that way. I think, because Oda has a fair amount of control with regards to the live action, that we'll see an uptick in fans.
love the new vid daddy glr
Thriller bark was fun for me. I started watching heavily during that arc.
I believe that the One Piece is actually Luffy’s Nika fruit, which gives him the power of laughter. The proof is in Shanks and his crew, who couldn’t stop laughing until Luffy ate the fruit. Roger must have discovered the same fruit on Laugh Tale, the island of joy, and that’s why he and his crew laughed so hard. The fruit was the source of their laughter, and Luffy inherited it. That also explains the X mark on his chest, which is a symbol of the fruit.
Yeah same thing happened with me i loved the pacing and hype when reading 10+ chapters at a time but mow 1 chapter per week amd now oda is on sugery its been weeks
I wonder what type of person big mom would have been if she got therapy for her emotionally stunned growth. Would she still be as evil as she is in canon or would she be more caring like whitebeard?
I felt that pacing issue with Whole Cake island. Felt way too long. To find out it was 1 night and the wedding was the next day
Honestly idk why heated power scaling debates are looked down upon. We do it because it’s genuinely fun. It’s the same as debating if your favorite sports team will win their next upcoming match.
I'm still hoping we'll get more Kaido backstory when we explore Rocks. To me it felt like Oda was tiptoeing around other important information he doesn't want us to know yet,
I understand the tension argument, but I don't have a problem with it.
Pre time skip, all of the Straw Hats barley got by in a cruel and harsh sea with the determination of their wills. Luffy was pushed to his breaking point with Crocodile and Lucci, Zoro got destroyed by Mihawk and from there every major fight was life and death, and he never got enough time after thriller bark to recover. Sanji walked away from his fight with bonclay talking about how many bones were broken, Enel was untouchable except by sheer luck that luffy eas rubber, etc. All of these build the tension.
Contrast with post time skip: the crew spent 2 years doing nothing but train--this is much longer than the strawhats have traveled together. The prepared and over prepared for the new world, and it shows. They crushed everything until they were forced to face Yonko, *and they deserved those overwhelming victories.* Most of the tension comes from the collateral damage they may cause. Whats the point of being strong when everyone around you gets hurt?
Honestly I'm fine with this, and now that we're post Wano, a place where they were all pushed to pre time skip limits, i expected to see a return to classic One Piece tension
8:05 “it’s…” *ad break* “ARBY’S ROAST BEEF”
In the case of why it feels like the tension is gone post time skip it is just time. After following the crew for so long you just kind of know what's going to happen because of pattern recognition
The vampire Luffy at the back is so cool..
I totally agree with you about catching up to one piece and reading weekly. It was so much better reading 20 chapters a day
Yamato was not a good one piece character and her purpose for existence seems to only be questioned more as time goes on. She felt like a very hastily put together last minute addition to the wano arc even if that wasnt the case.
Honestly, i feel like the kaido backstory will get revealed when we'll learn more about Xebec's story, the same thing happened with arlong, we didn't really get why he acted the way he did until fishman island
Awesome example of Law and Doffy. That was such gr8 storytelling imo
I find powerscaling really weird in one piece and lots of other shounen anime as some characters are said to be light speed though at times when they are running it is normal human speed.
Liam is on the Admiral agenda with the last few seconds of this video. Respect.
Thriller bark is where we met Brook and fought Oars not really sure why it’s considered bad.
When it comes to Ace I actually really like his story. He spent the majority of his life knowing if the Marines found out whom his father was they'd try to kill him, and he also wasn't really sure he was even supposed to exist because how else does a kid deal with the knowledge they will be executed if their father is discovered or where your own birth is illegal. Contrast that with his Pops Whitebeard, whom Ace was very proud of, and you begin to understand why that taunt was so impactful when he just watched his Pops die and get his devil fruit taken away.
And I'm ok with the pacing, though some characters I'd like to find out more, I also accept that if i want to find out the full story on characters in an epic story I myself would have to write it. Thanks Oda for making an epic story.
Since a Yonko has been defeated, powerscaling might seem like missing the point now. However Grade Swords, Sanji's chats and Koby's ambition need powerscaling.
I think it's a mixture of both foreshadowing and retconning. Some stuff is foreshadowing and some stuff is retconning.
10:24 for the most part this is accurate. Shonen movies tend to re-introduce the main characters in some fashion or another. The recent Spider-Man skipped the Uncle Ben plot point. We’ve all know in some fashion or another
I agree with the last part of feeling like some characters get blown off. Like we are currently on egghead island, with Vegapunk, in his laboratory. And the spotlight should be on Franky. But instead he hasn’t wowed us or done anything interesting yet. Like I thought this would be Frankys time to shine and get development, but instead it feels like he got a fan boy moment and now we can move on. It’s just disappointing. Granted I’m a huge Franky Fan.
I love how GLR mentioned Shakespearean Tragedy
I feel like the story is inky going slow with the recent chapters (1078-1082) while these are magnificent chapters, i cant wait to see what the egg head incident is and i hope we go back to it soon
All the big mangakas need to get together for an off the top battle royale, and the first to not be able to think of a counter or action to go against what the other authors say, well then that's where your character sits on the roster.
I struggle to feel there is ever a bad chapter… the week to week pace does slow things, but being an adult fills the space better than I’d like to even hope. One Piece has been for me as large a part of my life as my mom was. But to be fair, at this point I’ve had OP a hair longer. Riding this wave as far as it’ll take me.
I loved thriller bark, oars was amazing
I like the Gecko Moria's character, in the way that he was a shadow (cough, cough) of what he once was. He was lazy and weak in thriller bark, but he was never afraid to fight against the worlds strongest man, and somehow survived doflamingo, and once his crewmate was captured, he decided to charge a Yonko's territory again, with the last time he lost his entire crew, and we now he is still alive.
OH MY GOD!!! 😂😂
Calling Ace's corpse a donut is the funniest thing I have heard in my life. I really mean that.
The Wanted posters have been One Piece's version of "power scaling", and I've always thought that it was a good approach. It's not so much objective power levels that matter to the world so much as perceived relative strengths, as those inform the actions of players such as the World Government.
For example Shirahoshi's power is terrifying and would surpass any other character by far if properly harnessed, but since it remains secret it doesn't "break the setting".
I think oda rushed through kaidos backstory, the post wano battle, and bringing shanks in it all so he can do that one panel of Uta to promote film red something he should not have done but now that it’s out of the way he can go back to doing everything cautiously
Luffy punching a Celestial Dragon to get revenge for someone explicitly begging him to _not_ punch said Celestial Dragon was a bigger mistake that should have cost him his entire crew.
He just has godly plot armour.
Yeah I caught up to one piece in like 4 months at ep 929 so reading weekly was a big change
I see he’s got a new beat up shanks drawing wonder what he’s saving that for👀 10:19
I watched one piece anime in 3 months and have now been on week to week from episode 1053. I feel the same, im not as hyped anymore as i was binge watching it. Now im only waiting for gear 5 animated.
For whatever reason, I never felt the “valley” syndrome while reading Thriller Bark; instead, I felt that BIG TIME my first time through Skypiea
I’m a huge fan of the logic for why gecko Moria couldn’t be yonko even if actually had the drive for it but I understand why think that way
I feel like we haven't gotten a substantial Kaido flashback yet because it's tied up with Rocks'.
Buggy forever failing upwards is my favorite one piece concept.
