The story of Enel actually continues after this arc, but it is NEVER shown in the anime. So whenever you feel like seeing more of Enel, you should look up "Enel's Great Space Operations Cover Story." It is a collection of cover pages from the manga that detail Enel's misadventures post-Skypiea, and it actually has major implications for the overall story of One Piece.
Also there is a filler episode(I believe it’s in the 900s) but basically before One Piece began it was an alternate take on Romance Dawn. Luffys like on the beach with his grandpa or something and then he eats a Devil fruit
No Devil Fruit exists more than once at the same time, so the man in Loguetown and Eneru do not have the same fruit. There are some Devil Fruits that have similar powers - some of which are weaker or beefed-up versions of the first ones you'll see.
Exception being Zoans where they are the same species of animals but different types. Example; Dog Dog fruit: model Dalmatian, or Dog Dog fruit: model wolf
Honestly I think Dragon's devil fruit, if he has one, is so kind of storm storm fruit. So a beefed-up version of Enaru's fruit, probably with added wind and rain powers. Or maybe a paramethia type with storm powers, or mythical zoan even, like a thunderbird or an actual dragon(though that's not likely after Wano). Like you said, it can't be the *same* power, but there's a lot of ways it can be functionally the same anyway.
Just wanted to note since you seemed to missed it: Eneru and his priests were'nt from Skypea, but rather from Birka, a different sky island (the Birkans have a different wing shape than the Skypeans) - they say that after Eneru got his devil fruit and his priests, he destroyed Birka and moved to Skypea (kicking Gan Fall out)
Ahh, I didn't miss it, I just misunderstood that they meant a different *different* island - I thought it was still somewhere in the same vicinity and not too different since their tech was basically the same.
@@creativename6126 he only has natural aptitude for Observation, he never knew that it was a skill that anyone can train it, and also never knew about the other 2 types. Also, his observation is crazy good...
Ahh Skypea , the arc that gets undeservedly hated on but only gets more important with it's simbolysm , themes and connections the deeper we get into the series
People hate on it because it really dosent have any future relevance. Maybe if Oda wanted to bring back Enel in the future people would appreciate it more but being as he hasn’t returned I don’t think he will, also Enel couldn’t do much anymore cause Luffy would absolutely decimate him, it wouldn’t even be close
@@creativename6126 I guess you are not caught up. I reread Skypiea recently and omg Oda told us sooo much. The arc basically smashes lore, themes and future concepts in your face with a baseball bat. It almost felt like a 50 chapter spoiler fest.
Luffy's power is limited by his imagination. There are moves he thinks on the fly like the pinwheel move in Arlong Park and there are moves that he thinks gradually.
I also like that if you pay attention, he discovers and keep rubber physics mecanic overtime, at the very first he stretch to gain momentum, then he coils to get even more power sometime combining those two principles, and it continues with the gears. Thats one of the reasons I like one piece, a large part of those powerups feels very organic, as the characters discover new tricks by experience and training rather than gaining only more raw power
It felt good seeing you put this in S LOL. I've seen so many people complain about this arc and it's pacing and such, but having watched it for the first time ever last week, it was unquestionably one of the most entertaining arcs I've watched thus far!
I'm glad you liked this arc. Most people don't really like this arc until they come back and realize all the little dumplings that come back tie back to it.
I’m really glad you enjoyed Skypiea as much as you did. I know a lot of people who hate it(we don’t associate with those people) and it’s a very decisive arc. The next couple arcs are comedic fun ones so don’t take them too seriously
@@jqwashere7664 if the animation dosent bother you there really isn’t a difference in the early arcs from anime to manga. Also keep in mind he had just watched a lot of filler and Laluka or whatever it’s called I haven’t seen it was in his opinion the worst arc, and that was literally immediately before Jaya
"why exactly does he need a ship again?" because he's a man of opulence and not utility. he believes himself to be a god. as with many people with god complexes, he opts for grandiosity whenever possible. 9:11 to answer your question, Luffy is very much the type to come up with new moves on the fly. it's rare to see Luffy practicing or training on camera even when he does think of them. his creativity is what makes his power as effective as it is. Zoro had a focus on being able to cut steel for 2 reasons. 1.) it's a goal marker for any aspiring swordsman. his path to the top couldn't be realized without it 2.) the opponent, with whom he was in a lethal battle, demanded it. it was sink or swim. Mantra is a concept that's yet to be expounded upon, but it's not inconsistent just because Gedatsu seemingly can't use it. trust that Oda has a plan. just about everything he introduces has a through line. "if he was born atop Skypiea, where did the devil fruit even come from?" why do you assume devil fruits are exclusive to the blue sea? you've yet to learn their origin. "just wrap her hands around his neck" 23:43 look at this guy. lol what neck? DUMPLING
100% agree on the devil fruits bit. At this point in the story the most we know is that there's Paramecia, Logia and Zoan. And that people who eat them can't swim.
Pretty sure Oda has confirmed that devil fruit powers need some kind of "energy" to work, so his flying boat thing is probably more efficient and/or can burn other fuel so he doesn't have to keep exerting himself 24/7. And it's revealed in cover stories that Eneru went to the moon(idk if that was his goal, or "land of infinite vearth" so may be irrelevant to his planes but...) and electricity can't move through a vacuum(unless it becomes light or magnetism, but those are different devil fruits) so that could be the reason. As for why his so to be space ship is gigantic, needlessly elaborate, and covered in pointless golden bullshit, that's his ego (and an excuse for him to actually be a threat to Luffy)
Skypiea is a great arc that gets even better after every arc. It has a LOT of little mysteries that becomes relevant later on. The thing I notice with One Piece is that it doesn’t like to info Dump(ling) the audience. Like you won’t have a character explain in full detail their abilities and how they use it, which would break the immersion of the fight or scene.
Luffy's moves do build upon one another. For instance, Fireworks is based on the Pinwheel one from Arlong Park. It also often happens that Luffy steals moves from opponents, even just to try to see if they work.
Nami's waver is more powerful because it uses the superior but basically extinct Jet dial rather than a Wind/Air dial. We only see one other Jet Dial in the show which is used by Gedatsu. Nami waver was found in the wreckage of a centuries old ship, obviously Jet dials were still around back then. It's not a hint really.
Luffy is made out of rubber so most of these new moves are combos of already known moves or just basic implementations of his df. Eg:- Gomu gomu no kazagaruma - roots his feet in the concrete to give him a foothold then contorts his body to generate potential energy then actually spins around while holding a heavy object to convert it to kinetic energy destroying everything around him(Basic implementation). Gomu gomu no screwnigibiglah- Gomu gomu no bazooka + same spinning mech as the last one but just with his hands. The one you mentioned- Gomu gomu no fuusen+ Gomu gomu no gatling gun + spinning mech.
One thing to note is that when Robin reads the Poneglyph at the end, it actually mentions the name of another ancient weapon Poseidon, and it's location. So now we have two ancient weapons mentioned: Pluton, which is what Crocodile was looking for, and Poseidon which we don't know anything about yet. 🤔 Also, dumpling.
Love this videos, just commenting to recommend you read the cover stories. The Buggy sequence after he got yeted and return to his crew was part of a cover story and sadly the anime doesn't cover to much of this, even if they are VERY cannon, around skypea you should read Hachi's sea floor adventures, witch follow the octopus from arlong park and its relevant information later on
I mean, SOME people die, but when somebody dies it’s a massive deal. The amount of characters that sustain life threatening injuries and are fine and dandy within a few episodes gets ridiculous. It used to frustrate me as well, but I’m on episode 815 now, and I’m just kinda used to it at this point. Would definitely say the best way to go about it is to accept it and move on, because for me at least, dwelling on it was almost painful lol.
The mantra thing will be explained later on. This is an introduction to the concept and is supposed to be unclear. When it comes to new moves, I think the story makes it clear when it is suppose to be notable. Some moves are just for fun and and variety, others are to give the SHs a clear power up or the ability to do something they where unable to do before. See zoro last arc vs the moment with Luffy that promted the question. The move in the beginning of the arc was just something neat. It was not like Luffy would be unable to deal with them without that move. There might be some weird moves in the anime filler, idk. Have only read the manga. Dumpling
Enel originally decided to travel with four more people. That's why he needed a ship. Plus why not. It's cool and comfortable. People can buy normal comfortable cars but they do buy rolls Royce and gold plated BMW.
New moves are a weird subject. They usually come up with new ones pretty often as they acquire new tech and pass fights. They will combo moves as well later on. However, this isnt really important as the individual named moves arent as major as they are in other anime. They arent always the big enders to fights, you will tend to see some moves much more often such as Gum gum pistol but its the techniques that matter more. What i mean by this is that they will also stick to their theme, Zoro wont start doing kung fu and nami wont become a staff wielding ninja, they will always stick to their roles in the group, this gets much easier to spot as the crew grows and the slots become more set in stone especially for the power trio. One thing to note though is, when you asked the question it was regarding Luffy doing the '''' as you didnt think we had seen it before, which technically is true but in reality we have as its just a further variation on his Gomu Gomu no Storm, which again was a variation on the Gomu Gomu no Fusen (first he goes balloon, then he twists, then he starts punching). This is basically how Luffy fights, he constantly tries new things and if it works, tries it again but with more steps. He will straight up just try and copy other people as well but in his own way, like when he just straight up tries to eat Crocodile using the Gomu Gomu no Baku Baku Heh you think Enel is the strongest, oh sweet child we arent even in the New World yet haha its so much fun hearing you having theories that sometimes are pretty close and sometimes oof, miles out. xD
The final punch towards the bell will never be not good.Luffy final's punch for a major arc always resonates thematically or symbolically.Just look at Crocodile,being punched out from the underground,exposing his shadowy plans to the open
The moment where Luffy rings the bell and it is heard throughout skypiea and all the way to the blue sea to mock town is so powerful. - It signified the end of the conflict between the Shandians and the Skypieans (the song of the Vearth if i remember corrently) - Cricket, the descendant of Norland heard the sound of the bell and he finally knew that Norland never lied and that the golden city existed and it ended the promise between Norland and calgara through their descendants which were Cricket and Wyper. - It was a message to the non-dreaming pirates down at Mock town Skypiea is an absolutely fantastic arc and its the type of arc which gets much better once you re-read it after catching up.
Oh man looking back at this knowing what we know now just shows how amazing oda is as a writer The introduction of haki Luffy throwing his party and bringing all of skypia together and the image of him as a shadow looks very familiar to something we've seen in the manga One piece is a show about a lot of deep and serious topics, and seeing all of that in the very early stages is amazing
He needs the ship because he wanted to take some of his chosen followers with him on his space adventure. Eneru can't move that fast carrying everyone.
Glad to see you enjoyed this arc! Between Luffy getting stuck in the snake, the dumpling fight, and the fact that it is almost completely removed from everything else, many people write this arc off as filler. In my opinion, though, it's one of the most thematically relevant arcs to the entire series and only gets more and more important as we go on. Some observations, answers, and clearing up things that you missed: 9:30 I think you're mixing up the ideas of "new moves" with "new techniques". Luffy's Gum Gum Fireworks is just another instance of him finding a fun way to punch and kick. He's incredibly clever and very good at coming up with new ways to apply his powers in the midst of battle. Gum Gum Octo Fireworks in his fight with Eneru is a perfect example, figuring out that he can use the ricochet of his blows against the gold to bypasd Eneru's mantra. Contrast this to Zoro learning to cut steel or figuring out the 36/72/108 Pound Phoenix/Caliber Cannon. These are new levels of power that help him to overcome obsticles in his path and shore up his weaknesses rather than just fancy ways to swing a sword. The series tends to be pretty good about making the distinction between the two. 13:00 On Mantra: we see that it can be used to predict movements and locate people. However, it is not quite that simple. Its mentioned here that mantra can be "strong" or "weak", can be trained and improved, and, most importantly, losing your focus can turn it off. Satori lost track of Luffy when he was caught up with fear about the ball dragon exploding in his face. Additionally, we see that even with fantastic mantra, just reading your opponent doesn't mean you can do anything about it. Eneru got this twice. Once when he was catching his breath and couldn't dodge Luffy's Rifle attack, and then with Luffy's Golden Rifle at the end being too fast for him to dodge out of the way. It can also be blocked as Eneru couldn't sense Luffy or Aisa while they were stuck in the snake. 13:24 Eneru's prediction wasn't mantra. It was him playing god and prophesying that only five would remain, then moving out to make it a reality. 16:30 The shot with the crew partying with the wolves is Oda's third favorite panel in the series, and the reason he wrote Skypiea to begin with. 17:15 The only people on Skypiea who know what the Merry looked like are the Straw Hats themselves. Who could have fixed her? Its a mystery~ 20:25 The waver they found was a broken one they found from 200 years ago when the ship fell at the start of Jaya if i remember correctly. Furthermore, Gan Fall states at the start of the arc that there are other sky islands. We see the difference in technology as the Skypieas/Shandians use the local impact dials while Eneru's men use axe dials from Birka, as well as Eneru using jet dials on the Maxim to keep it afloat when Sanji breaks it instead of breath dials. Speaking of Birka... 21:10 Eneru and his forces were born on Birka, another sky island, which is information given to Conis by Captain McKinley. You can actually tell the difference as their wings are different from the Skypieans and Shandians. Six years ago Eneru used the power of his devil fruit and destroyed his homeland, then came to Skypiea, deposed Gan Fall, and set himself up as god of Skypiea. 21:10 As stated above, Eneru was born in Birka. But beyond that, the Rumble Rumble Fruit isn't the only devil fruit on display this arc. Gan Fall's bird Pierre ate the Horse Horse Fruit. Presumably they just found the devil fruit like anyone else would have. Though there are theories about Eneru's fruit in particular. 21:55 Eneru needs a ship for three reasons. The last I'll save for a bit later. First, though, he intended to take four others with him to Fairy/Endless Bearth, so he needed a way to transport them. More importantly, even if he could just zap himself to the moon, why do that when you can ride there in style and put in a lot less work? 31:20 I don't think the populaace was brainwashed. I always got the sense that they always knew that Eneru was bad, but paid lip service to him to keep their asses covered. It's stated multiple times that Eneru only set up shop 6 years ago, so most people would remember Gan Fall being overthrown. Captain McKinley even tells Conis "We're not stupid. We know what kind of man Eneru is." 32:00 This is the third purpose of Maxim. This isn't smoke. Rather, it's producing thunderclouds. Eneru is powerful on his own, but he's far more powerful when he can simply manipulate vast quantities of "natural" lightning instead of needing to generate it himself. His Raigou/Raikou/Kingdom Come attack would be impossible without the Maxim's clouds. Think of it as a similar reason for Crocodile being more powerful in a desert. 36:10 It has yet to be adapted anywhere else, but Eneru's adventure continues in the cover stories in the manga. Eneru's Great Space Operations have him going to the moon and learning some very interesting things about the past... I'd go more into a discussion on your take on the religous themes, but this comment is long enough, my thumbs are getting tired from typing on mobile, and i need to get back to work. Hopefully I remember to come back when I get home. Looking forward to the next saga! It contains what once was my favorite arc in the series!
Three things… First, I applaud your understanding, and bravery in addressing the religious themes. The way Oda handles these themes is one of the reasons why Skypiea is one of my top five arcs. The fact that you put this at number 1, tells me you are truly a bright soul. Second, without spoiling, mantra only works if the user has a calm mind. Gedatsu was just too much of an idiot to utilize it effectively. Lastly, your theory on what the One Piece could be, is literally my own personal theory as well. I’ve posted it in various OP groups, and even commented it on youtube. I’d love to treat you to a DUMPLING some day, because we’re definitely kindred spirits.
Luffy is creative and a battle genius, he's intuitive in combat and comes up with new ideas for new moves on the spot, thought you realized that while watching already. Luffy is perceptive in combat and with understanding others, Luffy is creative person especially in battle. Its as simple as that.
The "mantra" and devil fruit types will be explained in time, Enel can move at the speed of lighting and creates momento on air but I don't think he can fly. I believe Dragon has the power to control the wind which allows him to move the clouds and create storms. Even thought the sky people dont know much about the world bellow they mention travel ships that travel across sky islands, maybe one of those ships had enel devil fruit. Im glad u liked this arc, a lot of people think this arc is meh compared to arabasta. Next comes my favorite filler of all then my least favorite canon arc.
the stronger waver wasn't really super special it was just stronger because it was designed to be used on the regular ocean in water which is much denser than the cloud water that most wavers were designed for.
"Dragon has been teased way too much for me not to overthink every single little detail" that's a whole ass MOOD. even today I still gather my whiteboard to assemble everything I know of him at every chance we even heard of him. lmfao. I just love him despite not knowing anything. He's my lil dumbling u know~~
Honestly I totally forgot out the next arc, G8! A different arc but also still enjoyable! And I’m very surprised by the score you gave! While you did seem to enjoy it, from the criticisms, I thought it would be like a B. But I’m very surprised and glad you enjoyed it so much!
Gematsu doesn't use Mantra because he makes your average idiot look smart. Mantra is usable as long as the user's mind is calm or otherwise not experiencing emotions like surprise. And some people are better at using than others. And it's also a skill one can improve through training.
The amazing part is how in the future arcs they somehow add more to previous arcs. There is one coming up that I 'disliked' but as time went on it became better and better as part of a whole. Even hundreds of episodes after that arc he'd go back and point out how a few more minor details actually mattered.
I'm making a list of flying/"flying" devil fruits starting from the Alabasta part 2 video. Despite how many weird abilities show up in Skypiea, only 2 of them are devil fruits. Firstly an interesting case with, Pierre. He can fly. He does have a devil fruit. However, he is a bird that ate the horse horse fruit, so him flying isn't from a devil fruit. Next is Eneru/Enel, like previously mentioned Logia fruits his elemental abilities let him fly. And as pointed out in the video, he can fly quite a bit faster than anyone shown so far. And while I don't use advanced info that shows up later in the anime, that doesn't currently include Eneru's cover story, so it's fair game. Therefore I'll count that when he uses his powers through his flying boat, arch, spaceship, thing he can fly all the way to the moon. And if you think about it, that's basically *double* flight. Flying devil fruit equivalent: 7.2
"Why does Enel need a ship." Because he's made of lightning and wants to go to outer space. Where there are no molecules to have the lightning until he reaches the moon. On EARTH he doesn't need a ship, but he didn't build the ship for earth. TBH I'm not sure his ship could get him there either. He'd probably be better off grabbing a ball of metal and launching it with a magnetic coil, with him inside as an electric charge. But maybe he wants nice things on the moon when he gets there.
I just saw the first few seconds of your video - and to answer your question - you'll find out soon enough! (at least we found out in the cover stories in the manga)
I personally don't care about the the lack of main characters dying in One Piece. One Piece is not Game of Thrones, I don't need to see Chopper on a spike. One Piece may not have a lot of death, but it has something other Shonen mostly don't bother with, emotional stakes. In One Piece death is not everything at stake, usually I care deeply about the characters and the outfall of the fights. Contras it with the last seasons of Bleach or Naruto - an endless horde of irrelevant characters you mostly don't care about with flashy abilities in cool fights with lots of death. In Dragon Ball, I don't chare if the galaxy was disintegrated, or if all Gokus family gets lasered in half. In One Piece I care if a pet food store is destroyed - and it does get destroyed, forever. Not returned with magic powers or some bullshit. In One Piece there are meaningful losses, not just death. But as you are not very far in One Piece, maybe you should not discount the possibility of main characters dying just yet.
Understand he is still in the arcs where there are not any real stakes, yeah the freedom of an island but he knows Oda isn’t about to just genocide an island and have the strawhats actually click off if you don’t want spoilers I lied so he wouldn’t read this far, when characters do die it’s met to be a really big deal, Ace and Whitebeards deaths are pretty much the only major deaths in the series and they changed everything
@@creativename6126 I disagree. As I exemplified above, there are bigger more meaningful stakes in One Piece, than in most other Shonen. Sure, the universe is not on the line. But things you care about are (like the pet food store in Orange Town). In shows like Dragon Ball, who really cares about a universe getting blowed up? I don't. They are just gonna magic it back anyways.
granted, it's just that oda only kills characters when there will be big story implications moving forward from it, so after repeated fakeouts you start to notice the pattern and wonder why he does it in the first place. i think oda himself realized this so it happens less recently
it's not that i think it needs to be game of thrones, it's just that the fakeouts aren't good writing. the cool thing about one piece being so long and starting when oda was in his early 20s is that you get to watch him grow out of stuff like that and become a better writer. well, one of the cool things lol
I really enjoyed skypeia just like you and I think that the noland flashback is in the top 5 flashbacks, some of your problems being unexplained happens a lot in one piece whether noticeable or not, such as something in luffy flashback which I will not mention until it's explained, and some will be explained. I actually wouldn't mind if the next episode is just on G-8 cuz, even though it's a filler, its amazing and the only part of the anime I've watched (other than episode 480) and it somehow has foreshadowing even though it's filler. Can't wait for the next one but remember to take your time and eat enough dumplings.
About 5 minutes ago i searched your channel to see if you had any update on OP but nothing. Just now i clicked on YT's main page and this showed up in the recommended section. What are the chances lol
idk what escape velocity is but yeah even if he jumped at the speed of lightning and escaped the atmosphere, the moon wouldn't be a straight shot and would take like 4 days for even a modern spaceship to get there lol, he would suffocate
Holy cow. You mentioning that the waiver Nami had in the arc is special blew my mind. I'm connecting some dots right now you don't even know exist okay. Watch out for the future cover stories, is all I will say... (edit: I just remembered you're watching the anime. So, uh, I believe people have told you about the cover stories? For example, remember Buggy's fun little side adventure? where he met Gaimon and then joined hands with Alvida. That was set between his defeat at Orange Town and his reappearance, right? Well, in the manga that happened through the chapter covers, as each One Piece chapter has one. Periodically we get side stories in them with characters from previous arcs. I don't think the anime covered the ones we got from Skypea's characters, so I'd suggest looking for them as they give you some interesting pieces to think over. Specially Enel's, since Gedatsu's is basically some wholesome comedy. I know you're planning on reading the manga afterwards, but thought I'd let you know) Basically what Luffy did is just a new move that is absolutely within his current skillset and not a power-up, he just had to get a little creative. With Zoro, on the other hand, You can indeed think of it as a power-up, as it is something that significantly changes what he can do now vs. what he could do before. Case in point: bald guys' cables. He wouldn't have been able to cut those without the revelations he had during his Alabasta fight, whereas Luffy just thought of something different he could do with what he already had. With Luffers, he just does a lot of out-of-the-box thinking... Trust me, you'll now a power-up when you see it. edit: "Isn't this power like the stongest one that can reasonably exist?" Oh you sweet summer child... edit: Dumpling!
As for why Enuru has a ship when he can just use his devil fruit: because why not? Like, literally, he doesn't really seem to use the ship, it's just a thing to have.
As for how the Ship was repaired to its original looks. pirate ships are said to be inhabited by water spirits that take make the ship itself a sort of possessed being. basically TLDR the ship actually fixed itself
Enel is indeed one of the most overpowered things ever. People downplay him just because he was introduced before Haki and because he lost to an early Luffy (for plot reasons I might add but that's secondary). He has INSANE observation Haki both in quality and range (he doesn't see 10 seconds into the future but like 10 miles+ of distance and still has more than decent foresight). Combine that with the ability to snipe someone with lightning from miles away and flight/near teleportaion (arguably better than Kizaru's btw) and you get an extremely annoying and nearly impossible to catch, and still quite strong offensively even in New World terms, character. If he got any boost PTS similar to Crocodile, he could VERY EASILY end up being a major player in the end. P.S.: I love the beliefs part discussion. If you think about it, as rational as we'd like to be we still put a lot of FAITH into science, democracy and many other things we don't (and really can't, for the most part) have a direct experience with. You most likely don't have any proof that an atomic bomb works like it does and isn't just some black magic, but you have faith in the generations of researchers that ultimately led to it. Ofc you could in theory study physics enough to understand it, but even for the average physicist there are many, many steps that are just based on trusting what someone else found out without actually repeating the experiment directly, and the vast majority of us aren't even average physicists. Same goes for medicine, politics etc...As long as we approach things with a critical mind and evaluate the likelyhood of truth with decent accuracy, we should be fine. But I think the BELIEF that we are the polar opposite of religious people because we can have rational evidence of most of our world is very naive. We can still get manipulated almost as easily as Crusaders and such, just instead of religion we have science and human rights and "insert casus belli here". What makes the difference isn't being religious or an atheist, it's critical thinking, and I promise you many, way too many people on BOTH sides don't have the slightest idea of what it looks like.
For Luffy's power ups he will sometimes mention he thought of a cool move or that a circumstance had him thinking he needs to be more powerful, but he only says what is currently going on in his mind. You will never get a thought bubble out of him so usually as soon as he thinks of it he does it. Zoro's was a bigger upgrade so it was focused on more, you will get that will all characters including Luffy but most of his tend to be whatever he currently thinks of to try (you'll know when it is a big one that is a power up) Mantra will be relevant more later under a different name (in line with isolated community calling things by different names) Nami's waver is mentioned to be powered by a Jet dial which came from a different sky island of Burka which is where Eneru came from and had previously destroyed so that is why they have no more access to those dials. It may have been glossed over in the anime but it is explained in the arc You'll likely see this a lot, but look into the Eneru Cover story it is worth it and likely to be important, Oda will return to previous characters and tell stories through the cover stories (Buggy's little adventure was one) but the anime only has done a couple since they are not always 100% relevant to main plot and apparently didn't poll well so they stopped doing them sadly but it is a cool one with a lot of lore
Oh my god finally someone else that says iron like "ay-ron"! Should I assume you're hispanic too? because I'd be happy to invite you a dumpling or something XD
I think Luffy is just a guy how is like "ok I have this thing I wanna do " and then does it while Zoro is trying to achieve a certain thing in his style to fight. (The thing that his sensei talked about). I like Dumpling .
New moves maybe referring something in the plot( like their names and stuff),not all the time though so it's up to you whether to pay attention or not.
I think you missed on the religion analysis here. One piece's conflict here isn't a religious one. The way I see it the religious themes are just surface dressings. Unless the anime changed it, the shandia's animosity towards Gan fall has nothing to do with religious or belief reasons but rather the fact that the sky island residents' took their land for themselves. Although Gan fall is a reasonable guy that doesn't erase the persecution that their people faced. The shadians deserve to be angry. It's a real actual event in the history of this place unlike the religious conflict you're making it out to be. Oda most likely took inspiration from real world problems many native people face so you dismissing the shandians fight as senseless violence for the sake of nothing as well as comparing it to the crusades (when the catholics had horrible effects on these conflicts) kinda strikes a nerve. Edit: adding some stuff
i would say religion vs science is a big theme of the noland flashback, but it doesn't really go as far as to say one or the other is correct, which is important imo
The next two openings spoil A LOT, don't watch until you're like halfway through the next two main arcs. Specifically what I mean by "main arcs" is: Don't watch the next opening (opening 5) until you are halfway through the arc that the next saga is named after. And don't watch the opening after that (opening 6) until you are halfway through the arc following opening 5's arc.
If Eneru returns.... Well... You can clearly see he is going towards the moon :) That's giving me skypiea-like vibes. Hope Oda does something with this!
8 videos in and I like this first experience with the beloved world of One Piece 💕😍 subscribed for more and will watch all other content of interest. 😊
Ussop can't reverse engineer them. Dials are not made, they grow naturally in the sky islands. Certain types of dials can be found, and some dials have gone extinct.
Dang, I didn’t expect you to like this arc this much! With how many fake deaths this arc provides, I was sure it would be dragged down to an A. I guess the good aspects are that good. Me personally, I love the first part of this saga, though, once the fighting begins, it drops from S to A for me. Also, I don’t really like dumplings, especially that dumpling man.
the new moves mostly come from training like in Zoro's case but the spinny ball thing Luffy did it's not as difficult given his previously shown abilities (if that makes sense) while Zoro learning how to cut STEEL was kind of a big deal so yeah do pay attention to it but it's only a big deal for the new big moves as far as i know (I'm in the beginning parts of Punk Hazard rn so maybe it changes later)
there are some holes but overall it is great story you will get your answers for most of your questions and arc ranking will be very difficult to decide :D
"Why didn't Robin just wrap her hands around Yama's neck and strangle him?"
Cut to Yama, who has no neck. LOL
i think they didn't think her arm are not that powerful
@@jlassijlali290 imagine if white beard also had that fruit that + the gura gura no mi would be one of the devastating devil fruit synergy imagine an earthquake that happened on your face and basically had infinite range as far as white beard could see you meaning it's not possible to even avoid as long as white beard can feel your presence via observation haki
The story of Enel actually continues after this arc, but it is NEVER shown in the anime. So whenever you feel like seeing more of Enel, you should look up "Enel's Great Space Operations Cover Story." It is a collection of cover pages from the manga that detail Enel's misadventures post-Skypiea, and it actually has major implications for the overall story of One Piece.
Also there is a filler episode(I believe it’s in the 900s) but basically before One Piece began it was an alternate take on Romance Dawn. Luffys like on the beach with his grandpa or something and then he eats a Devil fruit
@@creativename6126 yeah it was the original prototype version of one piece
Yet
No Devil Fruit exists more than once at the same time, so the man in Loguetown and Eneru do not have the same fruit. There are some Devil Fruits that have similar powers - some of which are weaker or beefed-up versions of the first ones you'll see.
Exception being Zoans where they are the same species of animals but different types. Example; Dog Dog fruit: model Dalmatian, or Dog Dog fruit: model wolf
Honestly I think Dragon's devil fruit, if he has one, is so kind of storm storm fruit. So a beefed-up version of Enaru's fruit, probably with added wind and rain powers. Or maybe a paramethia type with storm powers, or mythical zoan even, like a thunderbird or an actual dragon(though that's not likely after Wano). Like you said, it can't be the *same* power, but there's a lot of ways it can be functionally the same anyway.
Just wanted to note since you seemed to missed it: Eneru and his priests were'nt from Skypea, but rather from Birka, a different sky island (the Birkans have a different wing shape than the Skypeans) - they say that after Eneru got his devil fruit and his priests, he destroyed Birka and moved to Skypea (kicking Gan Fall out)
Ahh, I didn't miss it, I just misunderstood that they meant a different *different* island - I thought it was still somewhere in the same vicinity and not too different since their tech was basically the same.
@@Koroto yea, while the exact location of Birka wasn't stated, it's not right next to Skypea :)
Luffy is actually super smart when it comes to knowing what someone is really thinking, like in alabasta when he slapped vivi lol.
Emotional intelligence
"I don't like this pigeon guy"
@@Pangora2literally in the middle of that goated arc rn
"slapped" bro he knocked her skull in wtf
Mantra actually becomes important later and you'll be able to know why it's "inconsistent"
There's good reasoning to it
Spoilers
I think it’s kind off hilarious how powerful Enel is because of this one thing that is now standard, and he’s also kind off trash at it
@@creativename6126 he only has natural aptitude for Observation, he never knew that it was a skill that anyone can train it, and also never knew about the other 2 types.
Also, his observation is crazy good...
Ahh Skypea , the arc that gets undeservedly hated on but only gets more important with it's simbolysm , themes and connections the deeper we get into the series
People hate on it because it really dosent have any future relevance. Maybe if Oda wanted to bring back Enel in the future people would appreciate it more but being as he hasn’t returned I don’t think he will, also Enel couldn’t do much anymore cause Luffy would absolutely decimate him, it wouldn’t even be close
@@creativename6126 No future relevance ? *Laughs in chapter 1017*
@@creativename6126 I guess you are not caught up. I reread Skypiea recently and omg Oda told us sooo much. The arc basically smashes lore, themes and future concepts in your face with a baseball bat. It almost felt like a 50 chapter spoiler fest.
@@anthony8900 the fact I still get into arguments over skypieas relevance to this day even though I'm not caught up this is very validating
Luffy's power is limited by his imagination. There are moves he thinks on the fly like the pinwheel move in Arlong Park and there are moves that he thinks gradually.
I also like that if you pay attention, he discovers and keep rubber physics mecanic overtime, at the very first he stretch to gain momentum, then he coils to get even more power sometime combining those two principles, and it continues with the gears. Thats one of the reasons I like one piece, a large part of those powerups feels very organic, as the characters discover new tricks by experience and training rather than gaining only more raw power
true I love that Luffy's devil fruit gives him the freedom to fight an any way he can imagine.
Oh boy, you Gigabrained this one
Jesus christ you must have to most advanced form of observation haki
@@n3dia. futuresight :P
Mantra's purpose on this arc is foreshadowing, don't mind it too much.
Seeing you go full conspiracy theory mode on Dragon is so relatable
It felt good seeing you put this in S LOL. I've seen so many people complain about this arc and it's pacing and such, but having watched it for the first time ever last week, it was unquestionably one of the most entertaining arcs I've watched thus far!
I'm glad you liked this arc. Most people don't really like this arc until they come back and realize all the little dumplings that come back tie back to it.
I’m really glad you enjoyed Skypiea as much as you did. I know a lot of people who hate it(we don’t associate with those people) and it’s a very decisive arc. The next couple arcs are comedic fun ones so don’t take them too seriously
The fact that he enjoyed the anime adaption is even more shocking, because it’s mostly manga readers that hold Skypiea in high regards.
@@jqwashere7664 if the animation dosent bother you there really isn’t a difference in the early arcs from anime to manga. Also keep in mind he had just watched a lot of filler and Laluka or whatever it’s called I haven’t seen it was in his opinion the worst arc, and that was literally immediately before Jaya
Korotos: "more flashbacks please"
Dressrosa: *cue malicious compliance*
"why exactly does he need a ship again?"
because he's a man of opulence and not utility. he believes himself to be a god. as with many people with god complexes, he opts for grandiosity whenever possible.
9:11 to answer your question, Luffy is very much the type to come up with new moves on the fly. it's rare to see Luffy practicing or training on camera even when he does think of them. his creativity is what makes his power as effective as it is. Zoro had a focus on being able to cut steel for 2 reasons.
1.) it's a goal marker for any aspiring swordsman. his path to the top couldn't be realized without it
2.) the opponent, with whom he was in a lethal battle, demanded it. it was sink or swim.
Mantra is a concept that's yet to be expounded upon, but it's not inconsistent just because Gedatsu seemingly can't use it. trust that Oda has a plan. just about everything he introduces has a through line.
"if he was born atop Skypiea, where did the devil fruit even come from?"
why do you assume devil fruits are exclusive to the blue sea? you've yet to learn their origin.
"just wrap her hands around his neck"
23:43 look at this guy. lol what neck?
DUMPLING
100% agree on the devil fruits bit. At this point in the story the most we know is that there's Paramecia, Logia and Zoan. And that people who eat them can't swim.
Pretty sure Oda has confirmed that devil fruit powers need some kind of "energy" to work, so his flying boat thing is probably more efficient and/or can burn other fuel so he doesn't have to keep exerting himself 24/7. And it's revealed in cover stories that Eneru went to the moon(idk if that was his goal, or "land of infinite vearth" so may be irrelevant to his planes but...) and electricity can't move through a vacuum(unless it becomes light or magnetism, but those are different devil fruits) so that could be the reason. As for why his so to be space ship is gigantic, needlessly elaborate, and covered in pointless golden bullshit, that's his ego (and an excuse for him to actually be a threat to Luffy)
Skypiea is a great arc that gets even better after every arc. It has a LOT of little mysteries that becomes relevant later on.
The thing I notice with One Piece is that it doesn’t like to info Dump(ling) the audience. Like you won’t have a character explain in full detail their abilities and how they use it, which would break the immersion of the fight or scene.
Laws Devil fruit is introduced at like episode 300 and isn’t explained at all until 600
Luffy's moves do build upon one another. For instance, Fireworks is based on the Pinwheel one from Arlong Park. It also often happens that Luffy steals moves from opponents, even just to try to see if they work.
Nami's waver is more powerful because it uses the superior but basically extinct Jet dial rather than a Wind/Air dial. We only see one other Jet Dial in the show which is used by Gedatsu. Nami waver was found in the wreckage of a centuries old ship, obviously Jet dials were still around back then. It's not a hint really.
aren't there Jet Dials in the Maxim that Enel got from his homeland that he destroyed?
Luffy is made out of rubber so most of these new moves are combos of already known moves or just basic implementations of his df. Eg:- Gomu gomu no kazagaruma - roots his feet in the concrete to give him a foothold then contorts his body to generate potential energy then actually spins around while holding a heavy object to convert it to kinetic energy destroying everything around him(Basic implementation). Gomu gomu no screwnigibiglah- Gomu gomu no bazooka + same spinning mech as the last one but just with his hands. The one you mentioned- Gomu gomu no fuusen+ Gomu gomu no gatling gun + spinning mech.
One thing to note is that when Robin reads the Poneglyph at the end, it actually mentions the name of another ancient weapon Poseidon, and it's location. So now we have two ancient weapons mentioned: Pluton, which is what Crocodile was looking for, and Poseidon which we don't know anything about yet. 🤔
Also, dumpling.
The Poseidon reveal later on is chefs kiss
The Mantra stuff will be expanded on a lot, but not for a long while. Just keep it in mind in the future
He wants higher stakes. Dumpling you will get it and probably you will not want it anymore.
MerpyNapier is a clear example.
I just watched the whole playlist today. Fantastic. I can’t wait for you to catch up to current events.
21:56
His ship is to carry his moon loot, Also his ship is made of loot.
You’re very close to some of the best arcs in the series!! (Water 7 + Enies Lobby)
Waver of Nami is powerful because the Dial is from the Old ship. and i am pretty sure the old man say that type of Dial get extinct ...
G-8 is considered by many to be the best filler arc so you will absolutely love it
I have to compliment you on that thumbnail, good job
Love this videos, just commenting to recommend you read the cover stories. The Buggy sequence after he got yeted and return to his crew was part of a cover story and sadly the anime doesn't cover to much of this, even if they are VERY cannon, around skypea you should read Hachi's sea floor adventures, witch follow the octopus from arlong park and its relevant information later on
I mean, SOME people die, but when somebody dies it’s a massive deal. The amount of characters that sustain life threatening injuries and are fine and dandy within a few episodes gets ridiculous. It used to frustrate me as well, but I’m on episode 815 now, and I’m just kinda used to it at this point. Would definitely say the best way to go about it is to accept it and move on, because for me at least, dwelling on it was almost painful lol.
The mantra thing will be explained later on. This is an introduction to the concept and is supposed to be unclear.
When it comes to new moves, I think the story makes it clear when it is suppose to be notable. Some moves are just for fun and and variety, others are to give the SHs a clear power up or the ability to do something they where unable to do before. See zoro last arc vs the moment with Luffy that promted the question. The move in the beginning of the arc was just something neat. It was not like Luffy would be unable to deal with them without that move.
There might be some weird moves in the anime filler, idk. Have only read the manga.
Dumpling
Enel originally decided to travel with four more people. That's why he needed a ship. Plus why not. It's cool and comfortable. People can buy normal comfortable cars but they do buy rolls Royce and gold plated BMW.
New moves are a weird subject. They usually come up with new ones pretty often as they acquire new tech and pass fights. They will combo moves as well later on. However, this isnt really important as the individual named moves arent as major as they are in other anime. They arent always the big enders to fights, you will tend to see some moves much more often such as Gum gum pistol but its the techniques that matter more. What i mean by this is that they will also stick to their theme, Zoro wont start doing kung fu and nami wont become a staff wielding ninja, they will always stick to their roles in the group, this gets much easier to spot as the crew grows and the slots become more set in stone especially for the power trio.
One thing to note though is, when you asked the question it was regarding Luffy doing the '''' as you didnt think we had seen it before, which technically is true but in reality we have as its just a further variation on his Gomu Gomu no Storm, which again was a variation on the Gomu Gomu no Fusen (first he goes balloon, then he twists, then he starts punching). This is basically how Luffy fights, he constantly tries new things and if it works, tries it again but with more steps. He will straight up just try and copy other people as well but in his own way, like when he just straight up tries to eat Crocodile using the Gomu Gomu no Baku Baku
Heh you think Enel is the strongest, oh sweet child we arent even in the New World yet haha its so much fun hearing you having theories that sometimes are pretty close and sometimes oof, miles out. xD
The final punch towards the bell will never be not good.Luffy final's punch for a major arc always resonates thematically or symbolically.Just look at Crocodile,being punched out from the underground,exposing his shadowy plans to the open
The moment where Luffy rings the bell and it is heard throughout skypiea and all the way to the blue sea to mock town is so powerful.
- It signified the end of the conflict between the Shandians and the Skypieans (the song of the Vearth if i remember corrently)
- Cricket, the descendant of Norland heard the sound of the bell and he finally knew that Norland never lied and that the golden city existed and it ended the promise between Norland and calgara through their descendants which were Cricket and Wyper.
- It was a message to the non-dreaming pirates down at Mock town
Skypiea is an absolutely fantastic arc and its the type of arc which gets much better once you re-read it after catching up.
Your review voice is as soothing as aDUMPLING
Finally its out! I used to be on par with You on one piece but suddenly I started watching more and more😂 Im on ep 502 btw.
Jeez, that's A LOT more 😂
@@Koroto That's nearly 3 more sagas
Oh man looking back at this knowing what we know now just shows how amazing oda is as a writer
The introduction of haki
Luffy throwing his party and bringing all of skypia together and the image of him as a shadow looks very familiar to something we've seen in the manga
One piece is a show about a lot of deep and serious topics, and seeing all of that in the very early stages is amazing
Yes it’s wonderful being able to go back and seeing all the things we know being foreshadowed
awesome video man also man i just got home from work and my mom is making such awesome dumplings man i’m hyped
BRO you're gonna fucking LOVE the next saga, probably the best saga in the story so far, it's really unrelated to dumplings.
Eneru needs the ship because electricity doesn't travel well through outer space, obviously. His goal was to get to Fairy Vearth, AKA the moon.
I think the anime introduces a few new moves occasionally, but trust me, it'll be clear when a new move is a big step up in power.
The merrys Restoration gets explained in the Water 7 Saga
He needs the ship because he wanted to take some of his chosen followers with him on his space adventure.
Eneru can't move that fast carrying everyone.
Glad to see you enjoyed this arc! Between Luffy getting stuck in the snake, the dumpling fight, and the fact that it is almost completely removed from everything else, many people write this arc off as filler. In my opinion, though, it's one of the most thematically relevant arcs to the entire series and only gets more and more important as we go on.
Some observations, answers, and clearing up things that you missed:
9:30 I think you're mixing up the ideas of "new moves" with "new techniques". Luffy's Gum Gum Fireworks is just another instance of him finding a fun way to punch and kick. He's incredibly clever and very good at coming up with new ways to apply his powers in the midst of battle. Gum Gum Octo Fireworks in his fight with Eneru is a perfect example, figuring out that he can use the ricochet of his blows against the gold to bypasd Eneru's mantra. Contrast this to Zoro learning to cut steel or figuring out the 36/72/108 Pound Phoenix/Caliber Cannon. These are new levels of power that help him to overcome obsticles in his path and shore up his weaknesses rather than just fancy ways to swing a sword. The series tends to be pretty good about making the distinction between the two.
13:00 On Mantra: we see that it can be used to predict movements and locate people. However, it is not quite that simple. Its mentioned here that mantra can be "strong" or "weak", can be trained and improved, and, most importantly, losing your focus can turn it off. Satori lost track of Luffy when he was caught up with fear about the ball dragon exploding in his face. Additionally, we see that even with fantastic mantra, just reading your opponent doesn't mean you can do anything about it. Eneru got this twice. Once when he was catching his breath and couldn't dodge Luffy's Rifle attack, and then with Luffy's Golden Rifle at the end being too fast for him to dodge out of the way. It can also be blocked as Eneru couldn't sense Luffy or Aisa while they were stuck in the snake.
13:24 Eneru's prediction wasn't mantra. It was him playing god and prophesying that only five would remain, then moving out to make it a reality.
16:30 The shot with the crew partying with the wolves is Oda's third favorite panel in the series, and the reason he wrote Skypiea to begin with.
17:15 The only people on Skypiea who know what the Merry looked like are the Straw Hats themselves. Who could have fixed her? Its a mystery~
20:25 The waver they found was a broken one they found from 200 years ago when the ship fell at the start of Jaya if i remember correctly. Furthermore, Gan Fall states at the start of the arc that there are other sky islands. We see the difference in technology as the Skypieas/Shandians use the local impact dials while Eneru's men use axe dials from Birka, as well as Eneru using jet dials on the Maxim to keep it afloat when Sanji breaks it instead of breath dials. Speaking of Birka...
21:10 Eneru and his forces were born on Birka, another sky island, which is information given to Conis by Captain McKinley. You can actually tell the difference as their wings are different from the Skypieans and Shandians. Six years ago Eneru used the power of his devil fruit and destroyed his homeland, then came to Skypiea, deposed Gan Fall, and set himself up as god of Skypiea.
21:10 As stated above, Eneru was born in Birka. But beyond that, the Rumble Rumble Fruit isn't the only devil fruit on display this arc. Gan Fall's bird Pierre ate the Horse Horse Fruit. Presumably they just found the devil fruit like anyone else would have. Though there are theories about Eneru's fruit in particular.
21:55 Eneru needs a ship for three reasons. The last I'll save for a bit later. First, though, he intended to take four others with him to Fairy/Endless Bearth, so he needed a way to transport them. More importantly, even if he could just zap himself to the moon, why do that when you can ride there in style and put in a lot less work?
31:20 I don't think the populaace was brainwashed. I always got the sense that they always knew that Eneru was bad, but paid lip service to him to keep their asses covered. It's stated multiple times that Eneru only set up shop 6 years ago, so most people would remember Gan Fall being overthrown. Captain McKinley even tells Conis "We're not stupid. We know what kind of man Eneru is."
32:00 This is the third purpose of Maxim. This isn't smoke. Rather, it's producing thunderclouds. Eneru is powerful on his own, but he's far more powerful when he can simply manipulate vast quantities of "natural" lightning instead of needing to generate it himself. His Raigou/Raikou/Kingdom Come attack would be impossible without the Maxim's clouds. Think of it as a similar reason for Crocodile being more powerful in a desert.
36:10 It has yet to be adapted anywhere else, but Eneru's adventure continues in the cover stories in the manga. Eneru's Great Space Operations have him going to the moon and learning some very interesting things about the past...
I'd go more into a discussion on your take on the religous themes, but this comment is long enough, my thumbs are getting tired from typing on mobile, and i need to get back to work. Hopefully I remember to come back when I get home.
Looking forward to the next saga! It contains what once was my favorite arc in the series!
Really can't wait for your review of the next saga
Was waiting for this one🔥
just to tell you, this isn't the first time we've seen mantra. What Zoro used against Mr 1 is actually mantra as well.
Three things…
First, I applaud your understanding, and bravery in addressing the religious themes. The way Oda handles these themes is one of the reasons why Skypiea is one of my top five arcs. The fact that you put this at number 1, tells me you are truly a bright soul.
Second, without spoiling, mantra only works if the user has a calm mind. Gedatsu was just too much of an idiot to utilize it effectively.
Lastly, your theory on what the One Piece could be, is literally my own personal theory as well. I’ve posted it in various OP groups, and even commented it on youtube. I’d love to treat you to a DUMPLING some day, because we’re definitely kindred spirits.
How ironic that Kroto complains often about how repetitive certain things get in the story while also saying "chief's kiss" ~40 times during 1 video
But its abt the whole entire arc
Luffy is creative and a battle genius, he's intuitive in combat and comes up with new ideas for new moves on the spot, thought you realized that while watching already. Luffy is perceptive in combat and with understanding others, Luffy is creative person especially in battle. Its as simple as that.
I think they mention that Gedatsu is a dumpling head and that he doesn’t know how to use mantra
The "mantra" and devil fruit types will be explained in time, Enel can move at the speed of lighting and creates momento on air but I don't think he can fly. I believe Dragon has the power to control the wind which allows him to move the clouds and create storms. Even thought the sky people dont know much about the world bellow they mention travel ships that travel across sky islands, maybe one of those ships had enel devil fruit. Im glad u liked this arc, a lot of people think this arc is meh compared to arabasta. Next comes my favorite filler of all then my least favorite canon arc.
Why enel needs a ship is because he actually sucks at using his devil fruit, with the only reason he is threatening being that it is a powerful fruit.
nah he wanted ppl to join him/ he wanted a ship cos it looks cool.
the stronger waver wasn't really super special it was just stronger because it was designed to be used on the regular ocean in water which is much denser than the cloud water that most wavers were designed for.
"Dragon has been teased way too much for me not to overthink every single little detail" that's a whole ass MOOD. even today I still gather my whiteboard to assemble everything I know of him at every chance we even heard of him. lmfao.
I just love him despite not knowing anything.
He's my lil dumbling u know~~
Honestly I totally forgot out the next arc, G8! A different arc but also still enjoyable!
And I’m very surprised by the score you gave! While you did seem to enjoy it, from the criticisms, I thought it would be like a B. But I’m very surprised and glad you enjoyed it so much!
When I really really like something, I do sadly have the tendency to focus on the negative. 😅
I think the reason he needed a ship was so that he can go to the moon
Gematsu doesn't use Mantra because he makes your average idiot look smart. Mantra is usable as long as the user's mind is calm or otherwise not experiencing emotions like surprise. And some people are better at using than others. And it's also a skill one can improve through training.
Not sure why you thought Crickets house could be ignored when its the precise confirmation that Jaya is in the sky
The amazing part is how in the future arcs they somehow add more to previous arcs. There is one coming up that I 'disliked' but as time went on it became better and better as part of a whole. Even hundreds of episodes after that arc he'd go back and point out how a few more minor details actually mattered.
I'm making a list of flying/"flying" devil fruits starting from the Alabasta part 2 video.
Despite how many weird abilities show up in Skypiea, only 2 of them are devil fruits.
Firstly an interesting case with, Pierre. He can fly. He does have a devil fruit. However, he is a bird that ate the horse horse fruit, so him flying isn't from a devil fruit.
Next is Eneru/Enel, like previously mentioned Logia fruits his elemental abilities let him fly. And as pointed out in the video, he can fly quite a bit faster than anyone shown so far. And while I don't use advanced info that shows up later in the anime, that doesn't currently include Eneru's cover story, so it's fair game. Therefore I'll count that when he uses his powers through his flying boat, arch, spaceship, thing he can fly all the way to the moon. And if you think about it, that's basically *double* flight.
Flying devil fruit equivalent: 7.2
"Why does Enel need a ship."
Because he's made of lightning and wants to go to outer space. Where there are no molecules to have the lightning until he reaches the moon.
On EARTH he doesn't need a ship, but he didn't build the ship for earth. TBH I'm not sure his ship could get him there either. He'd probably be better off grabbing a ball of metal and launching it with a magnetic coil, with him inside as an electric charge. But maybe he wants nice things on the moon when he gets there.
Ey enjoying the series
I just saw the first few seconds of your video - and to answer your question - you'll find out soon enough! (at least we found out in the cover stories in the manga)
I personally don't care about the the lack of main characters dying in One Piece. One Piece is not Game of Thrones, I don't need to see Chopper on a spike. One Piece may not have a lot of death, but it has something other Shonen mostly don't bother with, emotional stakes.
In One Piece death is not everything at stake, usually I care deeply about the characters and the outfall of the fights. Contras it with the last seasons of Bleach or Naruto - an endless horde of irrelevant characters you mostly don't care about with flashy abilities in cool fights with lots of death.
In Dragon Ball, I don't chare if the galaxy was disintegrated, or if all Gokus family gets lasered in half. In One Piece I care if a pet food store is destroyed - and it does get destroyed, forever. Not returned with magic powers or some bullshit. In One Piece there are meaningful losses, not just death. But as you are not very far in One Piece, maybe you should not discount the possibility of main characters dying just yet.
Understand he is still in the arcs where there are not any real stakes, yeah the freedom of an island but he knows Oda isn’t about to just genocide an island and have the strawhats actually click off if you don’t want spoilers
I lied so he wouldn’t read this far, when characters do die it’s met to be a really big deal, Ace and Whitebeards deaths are pretty much the only major deaths in the series and they changed everything
@@creativename6126 I disagree. As I exemplified above, there are bigger more meaningful stakes in One Piece, than in most other Shonen. Sure, the universe is not on the line. But things you care about are (like the pet food store in Orange Town). In shows like Dragon Ball, who really cares about a universe getting blowed up? I don't. They are just gonna magic it back anyways.
granted, it's just that oda only kills characters when there will be big story implications moving forward from it, so after repeated fakeouts you start to notice the pattern and wonder why he does it in the first place. i think oda himself realized this so it happens less recently
it's not that i think it needs to be game of thrones, it's just that the fakeouts aren't good writing. the cool thing about one piece being so long and starting when oda was in his early 20s is that you get to watch him grow out of stuff like that and become a better writer. well, one of the cool things lol
I really enjoyed skypeia just like you and I think that the noland flashback is in the top 5 flashbacks, some of your problems being unexplained happens a lot in one piece whether noticeable or not, such as something in luffy flashback which I will not mention until it's explained, and some will be explained. I actually wouldn't mind if the next episode is just on G-8 cuz, even though it's a filler, its amazing and the only part of the anime I've watched (other than episode 480) and it somehow has foreshadowing even though it's filler. Can't wait for the next one but remember to take your time and eat enough dumplings.
About 5 minutes ago i searched your channel to see if you had any update on OP but nothing.
Just now i clicked on YT's main page and this showed up in the recommended section.
What are the chances lol
Why do you keep equating speed to flight?! This makes no sense, what point are you even making? He needs the ship to go to the moon.
idk what escape velocity is but yeah even if he jumped at the speed of lightning and escaped the atmosphere, the moon wouldn't be a straight shot and would take like 4 days for even a modern spaceship to get there lol, he would suffocate
Holy cow. You mentioning that the waiver Nami had in the arc is special blew my mind. I'm connecting some dots right now you don't even know exist okay. Watch out for the future cover stories, is all I will say... (edit: I just remembered you're watching the anime. So, uh, I believe people have told you about the cover stories? For example, remember Buggy's fun little side adventure? where he met Gaimon and then joined hands with Alvida. That was set between his defeat at Orange Town and his reappearance, right? Well, in the manga that happened through the chapter covers, as each One Piece chapter has one. Periodically we get side stories in them with characters from previous arcs. I don't think the anime covered the ones we got from Skypea's characters, so I'd suggest looking for them as they give you some interesting pieces to think over. Specially Enel's, since Gedatsu's is basically some wholesome comedy. I know you're planning on reading the manga afterwards, but thought I'd let you know)
Basically what Luffy did is just a new move that is absolutely within his current skillset and not a power-up, he just had to get a little creative. With Zoro, on the other hand, You can indeed think of it as a power-up, as it is something that significantly changes what he can do now vs. what he could do before. Case in point: bald guys' cables. He wouldn't have been able to cut those without the revelations he had during his Alabasta fight, whereas Luffy just thought of something different he could do with what he already had. With Luffers, he just does a lot of out-of-the-box thinking... Trust me, you'll now a power-up when you see it.
edit: "Isn't this power like the stongest one that can reasonably exist?"
Oh you sweet summer child...
edit: Dumpling!
23:34 ...what neck? The guy's one giant dumpling.
Luffy's power's limit is literally just his imagination LOL his body is made out of rubber, imagine how many moves can u do with a rubber body?
devil fruits occur naturally after a devil fruit user dying so they can occur in sky islands
As for why Enuru has a ship when he can just use his devil fruit: because why not? Like, literally, he doesn't really seem to use the ship, it's just a thing to have.
He needs the maxim to get to the moon, he can move fast but he can’t fly, I thought that was pretty obvious…
Zoros technique against mr1 was a special. The special thing about it will be clear later on.
I realy love that the one piece characters are so hard kill, because of it the real deaths hit so much more.
As for how the Ship was repaired to its original looks. pirate ships are said to be inhabited by water spirits that take make the ship itself a sort of possessed being. basically TLDR the ship actually fixed itself
Enel as a lightning man can travel that fast both going downwards and to any other direction, BESIDES up.
Enel is indeed one of the most overpowered things ever. People downplay him just because he was introduced before Haki and because he lost to an early Luffy (for plot reasons I might add but that's secondary).
He has INSANE observation Haki both in quality and range (he doesn't see 10 seconds into the future but like 10 miles+ of distance and still has more than decent foresight). Combine that with the ability to snipe someone with lightning from miles away and flight/near teleportaion (arguably better than Kizaru's btw) and you get an extremely annoying and nearly impossible to catch, and still quite strong offensively even in New World terms, character.
If he got any boost PTS similar to Crocodile, he could VERY EASILY end up being a major player in the end.
P.S.: I love the beliefs part discussion. If you think about it, as rational as we'd like to be we still put a lot of FAITH into science, democracy and many other things we don't (and really can't, for the most part) have a direct experience with. You most likely don't have any proof that an atomic bomb works like it does and isn't just some black magic, but you have faith in the generations of researchers that ultimately led to it.
Ofc you could in theory study physics enough to understand it, but even for the average physicist there are many, many steps that are just based on trusting what someone else found out without actually repeating the experiment directly, and the vast majority of us aren't even average physicists.
Same goes for medicine, politics etc...As long as we approach things with a critical mind and evaluate the likelyhood of truth with decent accuracy, we should be fine. But I think the BELIEF that we are the polar opposite of religious people because we can have rational evidence of most of our world is very naive.
We can still get manipulated almost as easily as Crusaders and such, just instead of religion we have science and human rights and "insert casus belli here". What makes the difference isn't being religious or an atheist, it's critical thinking, and I promise you many, way too many people on BOTH sides don't have the slightest idea of what it looks like.
For Luffy's power ups he will sometimes mention he thought of a cool move or that a circumstance had him thinking he needs to be more powerful, but he only says what is currently going on in his mind. You will never get a thought bubble out of him so usually as soon as he thinks of it he does it. Zoro's was a bigger upgrade so it was focused on more, you will get that will all characters including Luffy but most of his tend to be whatever he currently thinks of to try (you'll know when it is a big one that is a power up)
Mantra will be relevant more later under a different name (in line with isolated community calling things by different names)
Nami's waver is mentioned to be powered by a Jet dial which came from a different sky island of Burka which is where Eneru came from and had previously destroyed so that is why they have no more access to those dials. It may have been glossed over in the anime but it is explained in the arc
You'll likely see this a lot, but look into the Eneru Cover story it is worth it and likely to be important, Oda will return to previous characters and tell stories through the cover stories (Buggy's little adventure was one) but the anime only has done a couple since they are not always 100% relevant to main plot and apparently didn't poll well so they stopped doing them sadly but it is a cool one with a lot of lore
Oh my god finally someone else that says iron like "ay-ron"! Should I assume you're hispanic too? because I'd be happy to invite you a dumpling or something XD
I think Luffy is just a guy how is like "ok I have this thing I wanna do " and then does it while Zoro is trying to achieve a certain thing in his style to fight. (The thing that his sensei talked about). I like Dumpling
.
New moves maybe referring something in the plot( like their names and stuff),not all the time though so it's up to you whether to pay attention or not.
Noland and calgara, the best bromance in the series
I think you missed on the religion analysis here. One piece's conflict here isn't a religious one. The way I see it the religious themes are just surface dressings.
Unless the anime changed it, the shandia's animosity towards Gan fall has nothing to do with religious or belief reasons but rather the fact that the sky island residents' took their land for themselves. Although Gan fall is a reasonable guy that doesn't erase the persecution that their people faced. The shadians deserve to be angry. It's a real actual event in the history of this place unlike the religious conflict you're making it out to be.
Oda most likely took inspiration from real world problems many native people face so you dismissing the shandians fight as senseless violence for the sake of nothing as well as comparing it to the crusades (when the catholics had horrible effects on these conflicts) kinda strikes a nerve.
Edit: adding some stuff
i would say religion vs science is a big theme of the noland flashback, but it doesn't really go as far as to say one or the other is correct, which is important imo
The next two openings spoil A LOT, don't watch until you're like halfway through the next two main arcs. Specifically what I mean by "main arcs" is:
Don't watch the next opening (opening 5) until you are halfway through the arc that the next saga is named after.
And don't watch the opening after that (opening 6) until you are halfway through the arc following opening 5's arc.
If Eneru returns.... Well... You can clearly see he is going towards the moon :) That's giving me skypiea-like vibes. Hope Oda does something with this!
8 videos in and I like this first experience with the beloved world of One Piece 💕😍 subscribed for more and will watch all other content of interest. 😊
oh yeah , mantra is gonna be explained way later but it’s basically insane intuition
Thanks for the dumpling
Mantra or what we find out is called hoki on the ground actually become relevent later in the series
Gedatsu's mind is just special
Ussop can't reverse engineer them. Dials are not made, they grow naturally in the sky islands. Certain types of dials can be found, and some dials have gone extinct.
The dial was inconsistent because it uses stored power.
Algorithmic dumpling for your comment section
All stand for the algorithmic dumpling 🙌
Dang, I didn’t expect you to like this arc this much! With how many fake deaths this arc provides, I was sure it would be dragged down to an A. I guess the good aspects are that good. Me personally, I love the first part of this saga, though, once the fighting begins, it drops from S to A for me. Also, I don’t really like dumplings, especially that dumpling man.
Watching you asking for a higher stake reminds me of another one piece reviewer, Merphy.. all i can say is, oh you sweet summer dumpling
Nolands back story is so damn good.
the new moves mostly come from training like in Zoro's case but the spinny ball thing Luffy did it's not as difficult given his previously shown abilities (if that makes sense) while Zoro learning how to cut STEEL was kind of a big deal so yeah do pay attention to it but it's only a big deal for the new big moves as far as i know (I'm in the beginning parts of Punk Hazard rn so maybe it changes later)
there are some holes but overall it is great story you will get your answers for most of your questions and arc ranking will be very difficult to decide :D
