Brook's backstory is the most devastating to me, not just because of Laboon, nor all the deaths in it, but because Brook was alone, on a broken ship filled with his crewmates' corpses, for 50 years. All alone for 50 years. And we see the permanent toll that takes on him.
i think it was technically 30 years. they met laboon 50 years ago when brook was 38, the captain left the crew after a couple timeskips including a ten year one. i believe officially brook was 58 when he died, and it took a couple years of searching the fog in the florian triangle to find his body. thats why it was just a skeleton. and then he spent the rest of the years alone. and he's 88 when luffy meets him, which is the number of keys on a piano.
@@DarthZ01 You're right he's 88 when we meet him, but the "ten year one" was ten years after they left the cape, and he was already dead and a skeleton then. During the flashback, they skip around a lot and only show two "years" timeline placements for it. A few years after leaving the cape, when yorkie got sick, and ten years after leaving the cape, when the whole crew was already dead and Brook was already a skeleton and found his body... and we aren't told how long he's been alone on that ship for up to that point. So, he wasn't alone for 50 years, but it was more than 30 years... it was at least 40, but probably more, and it is just easier to say 50 since that is the entire timeline of his backstory.
The fact that they all where still singing through the pain of the poison for Laboon, and one by by started falling with Brooke the last one to die. I’ve never ugly cried this bad 😭
@@Levi-rr4xc we're so back. Especially in the anime this week episode. One of the major fights boutta begin if you know what I'm saying huhuhu *honesty*
genuinely the saddest backstory to me in One Piece. i dont think people understand how crazy being alone for like 50 years is..... especially surrounded by the decaying corpses of your family after you watched them drop dead 1 by 1
The fact Brooke was the last one to die meant none of his crew even knew if the devil fruit worked or not. They fully trusted that Brooke would come back and died happily knowing that.
absolutely, there are people who say Robin had it worse, well maybe if she lived alone on the remnants of Ohara, inside Saul's skeleton, next to her mom's corpse...
Nick you can notice how when the song is played a little fast, It sounds like a happy and cheerful song but when you play slowed version, it becomes a depressing and sad song.
What’s worse is they censored it. The Rumbars were even more graphic in the manga, and we only see their ending. What happened before for doors to be torn off hinges and Madaisuki be stabbed using his weapons through his own skull. How many men died before the poison started? What grief does Brook hold for believing he did it due to not being ready as a Capt? He failed his partner, who, died of FUCKING pirate AIDS. Everything about it hurts the more you read it, every single time.
That's why I love it. When I started it I never thought that I would cry watching this. I never imagined myself realizing that it can make you cry even in the happy moments because you know how dark the past is and still enjoy the moment they live in. ❤
After hearing Brook's Yohohoho(Bink's Sake), you should try to listen (or maybe react) to Ado's rendition of Yohohoho(Bink's Sake). It's an amazing cover.
The worst part of the last song that a lot of people don't realize is that brook never finishes the song in the recording. My boi dies before the song ends during the accompaniment of the song (the part everyone plays at once) after listening to all of his crew die one by one 😭😭😭😭
It's beautiful how oda wrote the song and the anime just made it come back to life. I love when they do moments like these in One Piece. ❤ Edit: Alright Quick Question If Brook was presented an offer that his old crewmates can return back to life, if he sacrificed the lives of the strawhats, do you guys think he will take the offer?
Every time i hear BInk sake i cry, this show is so well written. Because you feel every emotion in the show like it is your own. I think every One Piece fan feels like they a died a little bit the first time they hear Brooks backstory.
One of the first crew mates Luffy mentioned wanting was a musician. 😭 I love how Brooke's story is tied into the plot despite being a late comer to the Straw Hat Crew. The crew is so well balanced. Had someone ask me who my favorite was and why, and I honestly can't make a decision.
I always dread the backstoriesbecause they take over 2 episodes but i always force myself to watch them, then by the end im normally bawling because it was so good 😂😭😭
19:00 - Brook wouldnt have endured if not for Laboon, he has a message to deliver to the last friend he has left. going back to Laboon was out of the question though, with his shadow stolen and unable to sail the ship on his own. not to mention, in The Grand Line, you cant just turn back, you have to sail to the other side of the world, and re-enter from the mountain they came from, that's why they had Laboon wait there.
bro Oda is so fking good. The song sounds so fun and normal until you know the context behind it. Who knows such a sad story behind a fun song like that
Imagine this show having hundreds of reason to make anyone cry, this one right here is a crying investment. We all know that when that day comes. It's going to be a heartful reunion and we're not ready. That's what other anime lovers dont understand, the thing that sets this anime apart from the others is Oda's ability to leave crumbs of memory to your heart, it makes you feel like you're part of the crew, and when things happen, you don't know why or how but it leaves you devastated. No other anime is capable of this and im putting my life on the line to bet on that.
Bink's Sake(Booze) is an old song sung by pirates in the past in the One Piece world. And apparently the lyrics are to be observed because it does play important role to the story.
I just finished episode 380 And holy shit. I barely cried when i saw Merry get burned as a send off But when i heard Brook's song And said This had turned into a quartet... A trio... A duet... A solo... I cried my eyes out as i tried to hold my tears but i couldn't😭 Behind Brook's fun going character lies a heartbreaking, teardropping backstory
When you get a chance, look up the lyrics to Bink's Sake, Oda wrote one of the ultimate pirate shanties with some special hints to the rest of the story.
"im filled with regret" on his deathbed hits so hard man. They didnt show him die, so im hoping he lived. theres a theory that he did and showed up on a cover page
I was waiting for you to get to this part, and I'm glad you did. I've been rewatching One Piece with my now 12 year old son for the past year for him to catch with me and now we're at Wano. (I never finished Wano, I started over OP for my son's sake) Yes we're watching it in English dub, I don't wanna hear it from you people. My son knew of the song Bink's Brew, to the point he could sing along with the lyrics (yes, the English lyrics, again, I don't wanna hear it) but he didn't know the context behind the song. When we got to this point in OP, he couldn't sing it, he was too busy crying and hugging me while the song played. You honestly handled it way better than a lot of us did Nick. Props to you.
That's so adorable, when I have children in the future I definitely want to do this with them, but I don't know if i could make it through the sad parts without bawling 😂
I don't care what anyone says but for me thriller bark was one of the best arcs of one piece that gave so man iconic moments and of course introduced us to one of my fav strawhats Broooooookkkk
I know everyone talks about the saddest story in one piece but to me what brook had to endure was the saddest. He lost his crew and remained in solitude for 50 years for a promise. all he had to remain alive for all those years alone was the promise he made to Laboon and his crewmates.
Brook's backstory was the saddest backstory to me. I remember sobbing like a baby during that final song and it just breaks my heart how he dies with the crew but wakes up to them still dead.
@Nicholas Light TV, If brook's backstory killed you, (and that stuff was seriously sad), just wait for Kuma's backstory- it's easily the saddest backstory in all of anime history. like no joke, it had me crying for an one and a half straight hours. that shit was fcking depressing.
Real ones will remember Nick got emotional during Chopper's backstory. Even though he keeps slandering Chopper for no reason 🤣also I love the versatility of Bink's Sake/Bink's Brew. You can play it in a ballad, you can play it with a fast tempo and even use a violin to play it and a piano. Even a guitar.
Luffy said he needed two main crew members a cook and a musician A cook to make a feast for him and his friends and a musician to play binks sake while they ate and partied.
they cant make a pit stop, the way log pose works is that it resets to the next island only forward or islands, for them to go back they would need an eternal log pose, but since its not an island they cant, the only choice is to make the circle around the world back to the start of the red line
yes, Brook's backstory was dark and sad, but you can count on Oda to make it even more emotional Spoiler: Law flashback Oden flashback Bonny/Kuma flashback and who knows how the Dragon or Joy Boy flashbacks close to the end of the manga will be.
Omg I almost forgot the part where they sang one last song and then they all dropped dead towards the end 🥲 I know why u say its darker than Robin`s backstory
Kuma's backstory happend the same time my grandfather passed away. I read the last chapter of the backstory the day of my Grandfather's funeral. I read to get my mind off it all but only made the pain gush out of me.

“It isn’t right…leaving just the accompaniment…”
@@dragonslayergu1161 yep that made me cry😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Made me cry...yet again. First couple of notes in the last performance is enough to make me cry.
and recall the ballad version (Brook's violin solo) of the song was the captain's favorite, but now the solo... 😭
Brook's backstory is the most devastating to me, not just because of Laboon, nor all the deaths in it, but because Brook was alone, on a broken ship filled with his crewmates' corpses, for 50 years. All alone for 50 years. And we see the permanent toll that takes on him.
