Fight Together is my favorite, that the visuals focused more on the three brothers made it so much more special to me. Passing it as "meh" is probably more controversial than "liking Sabo>Ace." Denny be ready for those pitchforks. 🤣
Share the World is often one the favorite openings of any reactor - so you see me surprised. And opening 12 is thematically structured as it is exactly because of the Impel Down/Marineford arcs: It shows the former happy times of the straw hats (based on manga illustrations) that now have ended leading to Luffy fighting alone in a way more depressing environment. Although I needed a while for opening 12 now I really like opening 11-14 because together they tell a complete story.
Exactly "one day" is a great but underrated opening... Kokomo no chizu... deserves more appreciation imo.. And any Namie Amuro song is an S-tier... aka "we fight together" n "Hope"....
I think they started to make the openings longer when they stopped doing endings not just to pad the episodes. Also, I'm pretty sure the camouflage outfit idea came from one of Oda's cover pages/art pieces. He often draws the strawhats doing random things. There's more of those in other openings as well.(for example when Usopp was drawing on top of a hill in Crazy Rainbow)
one day at first wasn't my favorite but then I love it that i would put this song in S-tier i just love how different and somber yet an encouraging tone this song goes for.
@@Koroto yeah, I also think it has a lot to do with the world-building and my time watching the show. I loved the original We Are! but I was still very skeptical of the show as a whole during the beginning of East Blue. The remix came around as the world-building was really starting to be revealed (I’m a slut for good world building) and showcased every character you could think of, and it added to that sense of awe towards the world Oda had created while having the nostalgia factor of the first opening.
Yeah, I feel like with all the other versions of We Are! the whole repetition dimension is one I miss out on since I binged the entire thing. Hearing a different version of the original like 10 years later must've been incredibly hype, so maybe it's also that. And when it comes to the sheer scale that the OP presents - I can definitely agree with that. Seeing the absolutely MASSIVE world all boiled down to that one opening is a bit of a wakeup call as to how many adventures we've actually seen already.
I don't know what's more unforgivable: not liking We Are! or not liking Fight Together. They are my two favourite. We Are! for the nostalgia and whole hype feeling I get whenever I listen to it. It just summarises the spirit of One Piece. Fight Together is, for my, the best one hands down. The lyrics match perfectly with what the animation is showing and with what's happening in the story. I also love that it begins with Ace and Sabo, as they "Fight Together", but then it transitions to the SH crew as they "Fight Together" (that montage of everyone joining and re-joining always gives me the chills). I almost always cry when I watch this opening, it's just magnificent. These two, along with openings 15 and 20 compose my S tier.
Let's see if koroto has taste. EDIT: 14:25 Sorry, it's BRAND NEW WORLD. And all the opening shots in that OP are adapted from the color spreads from the manga which can be pretty weird and out of context bizarre. EDIT II: Not the Share the World slander 😤 EDIT III: 29:05 The opening doubled in length after opening 8 (Crazy Rainbow) because they got rid of the ending songs. EDIT IV: 33:59 Denny get tested for covid, please. Loss of taste is one of the key symptoms. Personally, Op 14 Fight Together is still my top favorite among the openings, post timeskip ones included, followed by Op 13 as a close second. You do have taste, Koroto, but I still won't forgive the Share the World slander 😤
I'm not sure if OP 13 - One Day is my absolute favorite One Piece opening, but If it isn't it's damn close. If you know what is coming it's essentially Toei simultaneously flipping the audience off and punching them in the gut while saying "fuck you, now feel these feelings and cry!", and I kinda love them for it. It's perhaps the most totally appropriate OP in the series, conveying that sense of isolation, loneliness, and desperation in Luffy that he's currently going through in the story while also providing so much gravitas for the animated intros of all the major players in the war. The OP almost makes me tear up just by itself with how it builds the emotions, and ... yeah, it hurts me and I love it for doing so.
Why i like the remix is because its a tribute to 10 years of one piece. I could see why some wouldn't like the song as much but i think the visuals make up for it. Idk its just nostalgic for me.
1. I really don't like it when people watch every opening before starting the show. There's just so much to be spoiled. 2. I think you two work really well together
You really have to watch the german version of „we are“ which is called „Die Legende“. It is really worth listening to, because it is so different and iconic in it‘s own way, I‘m interested in knowing what you think of it.
I love Believe as a song so much, but yeah. Honestly, now I just want to talk about favorite moments in anime openings because there are some stand alone moments in so many openings that I love
As a one piece fan and hearing that one of my top 3 openings ( share the world ) was put as F tier made me realize that koroto really has a bad taste. Like that was a REALLY unpopular opinion since Ik so many people who like this opening
How did I JUST REALIZE that today is the day the one piece manga started (July 22 1997)??? Also jeez, it’s been 25 years and I only begun watching last year lol.
I used to agree about the we are remix, until I watched the Mother’s Basement video on OP openings and after the visual breakdown, I started to really like it, so much so that I’ve convinced myself it sounds ok too. But agreed at first I hated it.
I feel like I'm one of the rare Kaze wo Sagashite enjoyers, it's remained my favorite One Piece op of all time and I honestly it's not really close. Although, I think it's funny that all my favorite openings from One Piece came from the Marineford Saga so I guess they peaked here. Also don't think you're getting away with that sneaky Sabo - Ace War Horn you plugged in at the end. Although I can't blame you for liking Sabo more, he has the best hat out of the three brothers.
Hey is all musical tastes and stuff, I don't critize the hot takes hahahah Your impression of Share the World kind of makes sense cause it wasn't made by Japanese artists, I believe it was a korean group that they got for that one and I'm pretty sure they also did the We Are remix that comes before so yeah
Kaze wo sagashite has always been extremely misunderstood... For me, it was a perfect representation of the moment Luffy was going through... Just having suffered the separation from his crew and now facing all these things in succession, we see both sides of his current world. On the one side, he keeps daydreaming of the fun times spent with his friends... And on the other, he keeps facing the harsh reality alone... Perfectly represented by the fun, fantastic first part and the second sad and desperate one...
It's almost impossible for me to rank those intros. First of all I tear up with almost every single one and second most of them are on a high level of quality, so even a C tier is still very good
The of Start of OP 5 Brand new world is Color spreads from the manga.... OP 11 Share the world is sang by a K pop Group thats why it feels different.... The only part I kinda like about OP 12 Kaze wa Sagashite is the first part... its like a Dream Sequence Luffy is sleeping and wake up like a school boy With all his crew members and Bizzare animals... While in the Actual story at that part luffy is separated from his crew... but i hate the second part the song is so cutesy but the Visuals is the most tragic war in the whole series.....
NAAH NAAH - I WON'T allow Op10 and Op11 slander! I can mostly agree or accept every ranking till Op9 BUT Op10 and Op11 are absolute S tiers! I listened to them again and NAAAH they are absolute S tiers fight me rreeeeee. EDIT: Ooookay: Opening - (acceptable range, my rank) 1. We are! - (S, S) 2. Believe in wonderland - (A-C, B) 3. Hikari E - (S-A, S) 4. Bon Voyage - (S, S) 5. Kokoro no Chizu - (S-A, S) 6. Brave New World - (S, S) 7. We Are! Crew version - (S-A, S) 8. Crazy Rainbow - (S-B, A) 9. Jungle P - (A-C, B) 10. We Are! Remix - (S, S) 11. Share the World - (S, S) 12. Kaze wo Sagashita - (S-C, B) 13. One Day - (S-A, A) 14. Fight together - (S, S) Reeeeeeeeee
I'm not a big fan of OP 12 myself, partly because the tone of the song really doesn't fit the visuals in the second half or with what's going on. The moment that encapsulates this for me is when the vice-warden and a couple of other officers in Impel Down are giving a quasi-nazi salute, and the song at that exact moment breaks out in a childish, enthusiastic "YAY!" It just makes me cringe hard every time I see it.
That actually makes sense, pop music in general is a bit hit and miss for me. There are some Jpop and Western pop artists I like, but broadly speaking - definitely not my favorite type of music.
As a person on the internet who heavily disagrees with some of these picks I'm legally obligated to say I'm unsubscribing + ratio + L + didn't ask Nah but for real, I'm amazed with how different some of my picks are from yours. Like Fight Tigether is my absolute all-time favorite and a solid S tier while 13 is just a low B for me because I find it drags to long and repeats the same slow beats too much. Also, small fun fact: The Straw Hats falling out of the sky in Opening 5 is a nod to them falling out of the sky when leaving Skypiea, since this is directly after that arc.
You forgot the "Korotos Mid Shack fell off" 😂 Though yeah, I guess that's just how it goes with music - everyone has very very different tastes. Obviously, there are arguments to be had around visuals of the OPs and things like that, but with the songs being the dominant part of the discussion for us, I feel like basically any configuration of the tier lists could be valid. Curious to see how my tastes stack up with all the post-timeskip OPs (though to be fair, I'm still not sure how I'd rank them myself). 🤔 _That said, if you disagree with me, you clearly have trash taste (not the podcast) and you're wrong._
Thanks so much for having me on and moving my lil gross monkey head around!! Glad we could disagree throughout the majority of the video :)
Some openings (like Brand New World and Kaze wo Sagashite) have a lot of colors spreads from the manga. Oda really likes to draw the Strawhats+animals
We need them to do the color spreads and cover stories. Enel will blow their minds!
Fight Together is my favorite, that the visuals focused more on the three brothers made it so much more special to me. Passing it as "meh" is probably more controversial than "liking Sabo>Ace." Denny be ready for those pitchforks. 🤣
Saaaame, I really, really love that op
Y'know... I love the lyrics of We Fight Together, and the animations truly are beautiful and tearjerking. But... I don't like the actual music
The german version of the first opening is a completely different song altogether, which holds a special place in my heart. Also a unique banger.
Definitely S Tier. It perfectly encapsulates the adventurous pirate feel for me with some more tense undertones
When Koroto said “We’re gonna talk about rap don’t you worry. “ I immediately went to the 4kids dub and now I hope they talk about it for the gag.
14:06 fun fact those are all cover pages that Oda have drawn that they decided to animate and add to the OP.
Share the World is often one the favorite openings of any reactor - so you see me surprised. And opening 12 is thematically structured as it is exactly because of the Impel Down/Marineford arcs: It shows the former happy times of the straw hats (based on manga illustrations) that now have ended leading to Luffy fighting alone in a way more depressing environment. Although I needed a while for opening 12 now I really like opening 11-14 because together they tell a complete story.
My headcannon is that the beginning of op12 is a hallucination/dream caused by the mushrooms Luffy ate on Amazon Lily
Yeah
@@Kidlet13 yeah I agree
Kokoro no chizu and brand new world (5 & 6) are like injecting nostalgia directly into my veins
Glad to see the "One Day" respect. For me it's #2 right behind "Fight Together", but it is definitely underappreciated by the community at large
Are you kidding? Back when I first joined the Fandom it was everyone's favorite! Can't believe it has dropped so far
Who doesn’t adore One Day.
Exactly "one day" is a great but underrated opening...
Kokomo no chizu... deserves more appreciation imo..
And any Namie Amuro song is an S-tier... aka "we fight together" n "Hope"....
I think they started to make the openings longer when they stopped doing endings not just to pad the episodes.
Also, I'm pretty sure the camouflage outfit idea came from one of Oda's cover pages/art pieces. He often draws the strawhats doing random things. There's more of those in other openings as well.(for example when Usopp was drawing on top of a hill in Crazy Rainbow)
I'm so happy for being subscribed in both channels
This is the perfect surprise for me! I’ve been wanting to hear your thoughts on the openings since your first few vids in this series!
one day at first wasn't my favorite but then I love it that i would put this song in S-tier i just love how different and somber yet an encouraging tone this song goes for.
Damn… the We Are! Remix is probably my favorite opening 😞 (either that or the original).
Oof 😬😬
Guess that goes to show how different musical tastes are 😄
@@Koroto yeah, I also think it has a lot to do with the world-building and my time watching the show. I loved the original We Are! but I was still very skeptical of the show as a whole during the beginning of East Blue. The remix came around as the world-building was really starting to be revealed (I’m a slut for good world building) and showcased every character you could think of, and it added to that sense of awe towards the world Oda had created while having the nostalgia factor of the first opening.

@@CMoneyBounceHouse No one doubts Goda

We Are! for the nostalgia and whole hype feeling I get whenever I listen to it. It just summarises the spirit of One Piece.

Love watching both you guys covering One Piece!
I didn't remember fight together but watching it again gave me chills
1. I really don't like it when people watch every opening before starting the show. There's just so much to be spoiled.
2. I think you two work really well together
Those "sparklie things" are gold btw
14:30 The anime staff decided that for the openings they would animate a bunch manga covers that Oda did , this shot being one of them
You really have to watch the german version of „we are“ which is called „Die Legende“. It is really worth listening to, because it is so different and iconic in it‘s own way, I‘m interested in knowing what you think of it.
This is a very nice collaboration! I hope to see more of this especially of you two because you have a nice chemistry!
Let’s goooo We Are and share the world better be on the top
👀
@@Koroto we got really different lists lmao but a very fun watch. One day is also at my top 5 though
Great collab can't wait for more collabs down the road
I love Believe as a song so much, but yeah. Honestly, now I just want to talk about favorite moments in anime openings because there are some stand alone moments in so many openings that I love
I did in fact LOVE this video
The disrespect on OP 14 Fight Together from Denny, i can't.
Thx for the content
They made the OPs longer when they removed the ED
Awesome, i have been following both of you since east blue
Crazy rainbow star blasphemy :( other than that great video
As a one piece fan and hearing that one of my top 3 openings ( share the world ) was put as F tier made me realize that koroto really has a bad taste. Like that was a REALLY unpopular opinion since Ik so many people who like this opening
Woah thank you I really enjoyed your vids
Happy to hear it! Plenty more One Piece fun times on the way! 👍
i love this but ranking opening 10 F was a flop on both of ur guys' parts v_v
thats first, cause I was thinking that almost everyone loves Share The World.
How did I JUST REALIZE that today is the day the one piece manga started (July 22 1997)???
Also jeez, it’s been 25 years and I only begun watching last year lol.
I don’t know why but when both of these TH-camr first start review on one piece I would always get them mixed up lol. P.s Love your content
I used to agree about the we are remix, until I watched the Mother’s Basement video on OP openings and after the visual breakdown, I started to really like it, so much so that I’ve convinced myself it sounds ok too. But agreed at first I hated it.
I watched your 2 reactions 😏😆 since you 2 almost started watching one piece at same month
It's been one incredibly long journey already, hope you stick around until the end! 😄
I feel like I'm one of the rare Kaze wo Sagashite enjoyers, it's remained my favorite One Piece op of all time and I honestly it's not really close. Although, I think it's funny that all my favorite openings from One Piece came from the Marineford Saga so I guess they peaked here.

Watch both of y’all’s reviews. Great collab
Might as well join and make my own.
S: OP14, OP13, OP5, OP6, OP11
A: OP1, OP2, OP12
B: OP3, OP7
C: OP8, OP9, OP4
D: OP10
after watching this video
Op 2 is still my favorite
The All Blue is in my bathtub and I don’t know who to tell
Hey is all musical tastes and stuff, I don't critize the hot takes hahahah
Your impression of Share the World kind of makes sense cause it wasn't made by Japanese artists, I believe it was a korean group that they got for that one and I'm pretty sure they also did the We Are remix that comes before so yeah
My favorite Openings out of this list, are 14, 13 & 11, in that order.
I love fight together, kaze wo sagashite and one day
So this was the secret bonus video
Aye! Thought we'd do something a little special for One Piece Day.
Kaze wo sagashite has always been extremely misunderstood... For me, it was a perfect representation of the moment Luffy was going through...
Just having suffered the separation from his crew and now facing all these things in succession, we see both sides of his current world. On the one side, he keeps daydreaming of the fun times spent with his friends... And on the other, he keeps facing the harsh reality alone... Perfectly represented by the fun, fantastic first part and the second sad and desperate one...
I also like how its tone completely contrasts the vibe of Impel Down
Kaze no Sagashite is meant to represent the first half is Luffy's imagination and what he wishes and the second half is reality
what a crossover!!!!!!!!!
It's almost impossible for me to rank those intros. First of all I tear up with almost every single one and second most of them are on a high level of quality, so even a C tier is still very good
I thought you had got to the part of the series where "We Go!" is the OP by now but I guess not, easily my favorite of the lot.
I (future Koroto compared to the video) am fully caught up with the manga 😄 Though We go is technically post timeskip, so we didn't cover that one
@@Koroto Ahh, you're right I didn't take that into account. Cheers & glad you're caught up man, 1054 is hype!
Hikari e and kokoro no chizu s tier fr thank you finally somebody agrees
Yes. I do not trust anyone who doesn't think Hikari E is not S tier.
Opening 14 is amazing. One of the best .
BONUS CONTENT LFG!!!!!
The of Start of OP 5 Brand new world is Color spreads from the manga....
OP 11 Share the world is sang by a
K pop Group thats why it feels different....
The only part I kinda like about OP 12 Kaze wa Sagashite is the first part... its like a Dream Sequence Luffy is sleeping and wake up like a school boy With all his crew members and Bizzare animals... While in the Actual story at that part luffy is separated from his crew... but i hate the second part the song is so cutesy but the Visuals is the most tragic war in the whole series.....
i really like this.. different type tier list
Hikari e and kokoro no chizu is just
🤞
I was in complete agreement with Denny until he said op 14 was meh. I’ll try not to hold this against him but it will be difficult /j
NAAH NAAH - I WON'T allow Op10 and Op11 slander!
I can mostly agree or accept every ranking till Op9 BUT Op10 and Op11 are absolute S tiers!

I will not take share the world slander
Bro when is part two out?????
14 is the best what do you mean
The "We Are" remix and "Share the World" were both done by TVQX (kpop group). Maybe Korotos just doesn't like kpop?
That actually makes sense, pop music in general is a bit hit and miss for me. There are some Jpop and Western pop artists I like, but broadly speaking - definitely not my favorite type of music.
The opening 14 DISRESPECT I’m seeing here??
Crossover fuck yeah ~🌟
Where would you place the One Piece Rap?
I didn't see that coming
Surprise! 😄
🔥🔥🔥
As a person on the internet who heavily disagrees with some of these picks I'm legally obligated to say I'm unsubscribing + ratio + L + didn't ask

please don't insult op 10, I enjoy it, thank you
Ok
Now rate 4kids
Denny have better taste)
