Regarding the cutting nothing and anything, he meant that true swordsmanship is the ability to handle the sword in a way that can cut anything or in another way that doesn't cut or cuts nothing.
Based on Oda-sensei's words: "In Japan there was a real life swordsman named Musashi Miyamoto who was regarded as the greatest ever, and he was known for using two swords. My childish idea was to simply make Zoro even greater by giving him one additional sword." And this is why Zoro uses three swords.
Regarding Zoro being able to cut steel. If you remember back in his fight against Mihawk one of the first things Mihawk said about Zoro is how his swordsmanship is brutish. And Zoro mentioned how refined Mihawks movements were. This was a first hint at what Zoro's teacher told him, being able to control what you cut and don't is where real strength seems to be. Alongside the feeling that Zoro remembered from his fight against Mihawk, where he becomes very aware of his surroundings when in a life-threatening situation, noticing a "rythem" in everything around him. This, whatever this is, enabled him to cut steel. In true One Piece fashion you'll learn more about this, eventually.. lol
I'm sorry but I think I might disagree with this. The rhythm I believe is the radio frequency of an object (or is it called wavelength?). To make this simple, the radio frequency of smartphone can cause disturbance to pilot communication system, hence the reason people are been advised to turn airplane mode during flight. This is probably because the radio frequency transmitted by smartphone is very close to the radio frequency of pilot communication system. The same frequency/wavelength/rhythm can cancel out each other. So, when the sensei said that the swordsmen can cut nothing also can cut steel is about the understanding of the frequency (or Rhythm) of something will determine, what you can cut and what you can't cut. Zoro finally understood it and manage to figure out that steel rhythm, and that's why he confident of cutting it and also explain why suddenly Mr.2 can hear the rhythm of Zoro sword (steel).
The palm tree thing is meant to show that now Zoro is able to choose what he wants to cut. He can decide not to cut anything, even with the sharpest blade on the planet (or cut anything, including steel 😉). At least that's how I understood it when I saw it back in the day.
@@AnimeCritical No.. Did you miss the part where his master couldn't cut the paper when teaching him this lesson? This is the beginning of Zoro's mastery of the sword. He can choose what to cut with his blades. Has nothing to do with being near death
@@AnimeCritical so Zoro is only a good swordman half-dead? No. That's where he learned the skill of hearing the rythm. Goes to same category as "obv" as well. See how he in the same scene knew where every rock would fall and the location of his sword. I don't know if they will read the replies so I don't want to say anything more. But you should know what's up.
"Oda is a historian" Carlie, you have no idea how right you were with this comment. To be serious, Oda has vast knowledge of world history and political/social systems. This will become more apparent in later arcs, but especially his history knowledge has influenced so much of One Piece, and so many characters were inspired by important historical/political figures
The measure of a swordsman in is their ability to cut whatever they want, but also ONLY what they want. That was the lesson the Zoro’s teacher was giving him. It’s about control and not brute power.
kokyu is breath but it also could mean an specific instrument, when i read one piece the translation was that everything has a breath, but it could have interpretations
yeah it's breath but speaking about breath of objects in the metaphorical sense like they are here, it kind of means the same thing as rhythm. like the heartbeat of the universe or something
From what I know, it is an original from Oda, Zoro being a triple-wielding swordsman. I read that it's Oda sensei's urge to make him look greater than Miyamoto Musashi who is a Japanese swordsman, strategist, artist, and writer that has undefeated record from his duels. Well, someone can correct me with this if I'm wrong
There are many depictions of pirates holding knives/daggers with their teeth, pretty sure Oda was inspired by those and just put a spin on it. Though usually those images show them biting the blade itself, whereas Zoro bites the hilt.
All i gotta say about zoro vs mr1 is that you guys should keep that fight in mind, the power up zoro got is wayyyy more relevant than what it seems now
Ange's pronounciation of Bach is amazing. So many english speaking folks seem to really struggle with the "ch" of us germans XD greetings from someone who is from a small town where J.S.Bach spent his pre-teens living with his older brother learning the basics of music ... well, the whole wider "clan" were music fanatics, before him and after, so it was "in their blood", the whole area has dozens of towns where some Bach or the other left their mark
Wait, that's correct? Multiple people have tried really hard to convince me it's pronounced "bark", which never made sense to me. I will 100% change my pronunciation now.
@@IamGrimalkin yeah. The only thing Ange does "bad" is that it's voiced a little harsh, imo. I assume, and afaik, english doesn't really have a similar sound, so it probably is natural it would sound a little harsh/forced But i immediately knew who Ange was talking about, unlike so many other english speaking musicians who I have heard talking about Bach - that "baak" or however always takes me a moment to get it (though at the end, i guess, unless you want to speak german, or are a bit particular in trying pronounce names according their native tongue, it doesn't really matter as long as others get it in tze end XD )
i really love that Mr 1 actually respected Zoro, in a way he wanted Zoro to be agood enough to cut him so he could feel something and have an entertaining battle
Regarding the question that you asked about Zoro's 3 sword style is inspired by someone, the answer is yes, actually there used to be a real life swordsman which is still known as the Greatest swordsman of all time named as Miyamoto Mushashi. He used to use 2 swords style so, the inspiration is to make zoro the greatest swordsman even much greater than him by using 3 swords style and mastering all of them at the end of the series.
Regarding the Sword in his teeth, Oda most likely got it from historical backgrounds. If you've heard of "Armed to the Teeth", it was when a back in the day back with flintlock pistols and you could hold a gun in each hand, and they would keep a knife or dagger in their teeth for their backup when they fired their shots so they wouldn't be completely unarmed.
I don't know why the subtitles didn't translate it but Zoro says: "one sword style iai" Iaido consists of four main components: the smooth, controlled movements of drawing the katana from its scabbard (or saya), striking or cutting an opponent, shaking blood from the blade, and replacing the sword in the scabbard. (Wikipedia)

Absolutely goated pair of episodes. I believe that this Lion Song is still one of Zoro's (many) coldest moments to date and then the next episode we get more of Crocodile being an actual intelligent and evil villian. Absolutely goated
I'll just say what zoro experienced in that fight is VERY important. Remember it well! His will flowing into the sword, him being able to sense the world's "rhythm" is IMPORTANT
You should add best villain (villain you like) to the worst villain in your characters list. There are different kinds of villains in one piece like crocodile who you will want to put in the best villain spot
Think of it as Qi for now , That what I thought when I first read it too. Basic concept of Qi is simple Evrything in the world is connected with energy inside, You can bend your energy to tword of against any others energy.
Oda was cooking new power ups and was testing on zoro and idea was started cooking back during hiruluk explaining chopper how pirates on the sea are powerful. Idea was there from beginning itself but how to bring it out was what he was probably trying to do.
I personally like to think "cutting nothing" can refer to literally slipping the blade between the substance of a material itself, like how the area between atoms is empty space and in order for zoro to become stronger he must be able to precisely cut between everything rather than pushing the blade through it
Knowing the rhythm of things to me is like adapting the strike to the density of the material you wanna cut. Like considering the arrangement of the molecules to calculate strength, speed and angle of the blade to perfection.
Fighting with a sword in teeth is the worse idea. - First proof is the guy playing Zorro in the L.A. saying that's it's hard, the handle is too big and it's hard for the muscles of jaws. - Second, teeth are made either to cut (front teeth) or to grind. So teeth are made to move up/down. So if you try to move left/right, it's the worse movement, and you could lose teeth. - Third, and it's a bit linked to point 1, the further you are from the handle, the more strength you need. And jaws are not ment for that. Just try with a simple knife in your teeth, and try to move it (with your hand) in any direction (slowly - unless you don't care about your teeth), and see how unhandlable the situation is for your jaw.
sword in mouth and zoro in general looks like it was inspired from guts "berserk manga". same hair style both lost an eye and when guts was fighting a big monster only with his human strenght he suffered a lot of broken bones and his fingers were broken so he used his mouth and left hand to support " left hand is cut and replaced with mechanical one" delivering the final blow with his huge great sword.
Carlie talking about Tanjiro and literally seconds later Ange heard the word kokyu😂😂😂what a coincidence... couldn't started the episode any better than that
@AnimeCritical nah, Completely is a reach, given how everything falls into place...and for this one..well he has been training with weights..one sword stance.
@lonewolf9325 His master taught him to cut nothing 15 years ago. He should at least have mastered these things via practice way back. At least 10 years ago.
@@AnimeCritical so Zoro at this time is 18...you are saying his master taught him to cut nothing when he was 3? u have your facts wrong bro, inconsistent yourself..Zoro went out to find Mihawk when he was 17-18, he was 10 when Kuina died, that is when he started training under his master.....he should have learnt to cut steel at age 10? right away just by hearing "cut nothing" he did not even know what it meant.
@lonewolf9325 Nope. Zoro started learning under his master when he joined his dojo. He looked pretty young back then. 3? Nope. But 4, 5, 6, all possible. Not more than that. Zoro was 19 when we see him for the first time. Not 18. And when I said 15 years, it was not a hard 15, but rather around 15 since we don't know the exact year he was taught this trick. But should be around 15 years. Even if I take your word for it and make it when zoro was 10 or 11, that is still 8 or 9 years ago, and plenty of time to practice. He could have even started when he started his bounty hunting, or when he joined luffy, or when he lost to mihawk. But nope. He started in the middle of his fight. Does that make any sense? Remember this is the most important lesson his master ever taught him. With the aim to be the greatest swordsman in the world, why didn't he contemplate this teaching further? If he did not understand it, he could have asked his master for more clarifications as he grew older. Its not like his master was dead.
The answer to beating crocodile was shown when luffy was able to grab his arm and pull himself off the hook thanks to the old mans water barrel breaking and dousing his arm.
10:22 "Kokyuu" is "rhythm". There were a couple of subtitles a few seconds before this one where the only word said was "kokyuu", and the subtitle said "rhythm" As for Zoro cutting steel, that's what the whole thing with the flashbacks to his master was about - a true swordsman can choose what he cuts, no matter how hard he swings his sword.
kokyuu might get translated to rhythm in some cases, but it literaly means breathing or respiration. the thing is japanese people use it for balance, harmony or essence of things
Carlie cooking here live action not supposed to be 1 on 1 with anime, bcs i want different experience, live action can be more serious type of story bcs i want live action can be enjoyed by all people not just anime fans.
Fun Fact: in the first ever Filler Arc that you skipped, we actually get to Zoro already being able cut steel, which according to another Reactor kind of undermines Zoro’s moment here, what do you think? Hm, i wonder if they ever mentioned the term Breath of All Things? Anyway, with this, all that’s left is Luffy vs Crocodile.
I feel like that could be explained as that being a weaker metal. While with this, it’s like how most sword fights we’ve seen, it’s really only been Zoro and Mihawk who outright sliced through other swords so it’s a testament to not only how strong they are, but how strong Mr. 1 is too with steel only masters could cut through.
Yeah Mr1 is a pretty big monster. In any other arc, he'd be the main antagonist, Luffy would struggle insanely hard against him. That really displays the difference between Croc and the rest of the enemies when one of his fighters is stronger than all of the arc bosses that Luffy has beaten before by far. "I can't figure a way to defeat Crocodile" "Fire as well". Yeah we never see it but in my opinion, Ace could have destroyed the entirety of Baroque Works on his own easily, Crocodile included considering Ace is a bad matchup for Croc (and Mr 1 too, and Ms All Sunday, the three of which are the major threats here), you're right.
the original translation has "breathing" instead of Crunchyroll's weird "rhythm" which is a lot more clearer imo. which again is similar to Demon Slayer!
What I liked about the One Piece live-action is that the story is darker and slightly different from the anime, leaning more towards the manga. I hope the upcoming seasons of OPLA will have an even darker storyline. What's great about it is that, whether you're a new or old fan, you'll still be curious about the story they'll present in the live-action. It would be boring if they just copied the anime story since there wouldn't be any thrill in watching it if we already know the plot. That's why I'm happy they changed some parts of the story.
Actually, in the real world, a mere martial arts student using a high-carbon steel katana can cut through thin sheets of low-carbon steel. This is possible because high-carbon steel is harder and can hold a sharper edge. However, attempting to cut thicker sheets or moderate to high-carbon steel would be much more challenging and could damage the blade. In terms of metallurgy, a sword made from higher carbon steel can easily damage a sword made from low-carbon steel. This explains, from a metallurgical perspective, why Mihawk's sword was able to destroy two of Zoro's katanas. Mihawk’s sword may be made of a 1095 Carbon Steel or T10 Tool Steel, which would naturally overpower Zoro's standard katanas (made of 1045 Carbon Steel). Even if Mihawk didn't move his sword. Zoro could have damaged both his standard katanas (1045 Carbon Steel), hitting them hard enough on Mihawk's 1095 Carbon Steel or T10 Tool Steel Sword (assuming its made of real world material). So technically, Zoro did already damage steel in a sword fight before, only that he was the wielder (although some would argue it was actually Mihawk who cut Zoro's steel blades)
There is only one other instance in fiction that I can think of, where someone has a sword in their mouth: Jesus in the Bible (Book of Revelation) No joke! The way I read Zoro's level up is that his observational skills got way better and that he was able to sense atomic/molecular/cristalline frequencies, which helped him 'slice between their bonds', I guess. A bit esotheric, but it works in already off-the-rails fiction, I think.
Zoro just used armanent haki infused with his sword to cut devil fruit user. In One Piece world, to beat devil users either you need to use haki or sea water or sea prism stone. There was no animation of haki in pre time skip that’s why i was hella confused when Zoro cut steel suddenly back then but now I realized how Oda explained the awakening of haki in brilliant way and I don’t think this is spoiler or even if it’s spoiler it really don’t make that difference.
IDK the kicking claw force scene just reminds me of that scene from spy kids 3 when elijah wood shows up in one scene and the very next he dies. Like why was it included.
I really hate how you guys spend half the episode trying to come up with theories about what is going on rather than actually pay attention to what is happening.
Basically Zoro learned to cut what he wanted to cut. He doesn't want to cut the palm tree leaves so it didn't get cut. There is a much deeper concept about this but it will be explained eventually 😂
Can anyone say whether these guys turn their eyes towards watching Naruto or .. have they watched already long before... Or any chance that they may watch in future.... If anyone feels same PLS REPLY..Bruuh!!!
This is way before Oda came up with the idea and system of Haki. The swordsmanship lessons here (everything has a rhythm, choosing what to cut, etc.) are just common tropes in Samurai/swordsman stories. Just like how Shanks scaring the sea monster wasn't haki foreshadowing - it was just the "murder intent" that has been a very common trope in animanga for decades. Oda came up with Haki a bit before timeskip and decided to use it to explain some past feats that characters had. This is why many early actions and powers dont completely align with how Haki works later on and why many characters who we know had haki back then (in terms of continuity) didn't use it - because it simply didn't exist yet..
No. I think is more like frequency high and low note. Like a sound can break the glass with the right note. Many people think that every thing have a frequency that if you match it you can break it or cancel it like noise cancelling technology
@@AfroNinja1278 *Big Spoiler Warning* No, this is clear haki foreshadowing. Zoro said he was "putting his will into the blade". What is haki? Willpower. It cant get clearer than that. In the future we also saw the exact same quote Zoro's master said, being said by Hyogoro while teaching haki. So that's 2 for 2, both crystal clear and pointing at this being haki. Oda clearly had the general foundation of haki worked out extremely early on. Shanks displayed it, Zoro did here, Enel will in the next arc, Luffy does multiple times later. What Oda didn't have was the specifics worked out.
Too many forget his being able to work from the shadows in this arc. Crocodile only knows his voice, Miss All Sunday hasn’t mentioned him, Bon Clay never got his face prior. He was able to feign being Mr. 3 to throw off the trail for a little, defeated the Unluckies, got the Eternal Pose, helped in getting Luffy and Nami to the mountain even if it meant self-sacrifice in the avalanche (if he hadn’t done what he had, Nami would have died from the impact), helped support Chopper against Kuromarimo and Chess before his injuries got to him, continued recon work with Chopper once in Alabasta since Chopper’s transformations weren’t all known and could be an advantage, came to the rescue as Mr. Prince, took down Bon Clay
This is possibly zoro’s best fight- because the climax actually showcases technique and is cinematically smooth and quiet. Most of his fights later just turn into dbz power fantasy…..

As a German, I was a bit offended that she didn't knew of Johann Sebastian Bach, but no hard feelings. 😉
You've already seen, how Crocodile is gonna be defeated
Regarding the cutting nothing and anything, he meant that true swordsmanship is the ability to handle the sword in a way that can cut anything or in another way that doesn't cut or cuts nothing.

My childish idea was to simply make Zoro even greater by giving him one additional sword." And this is why Zoro uses three swords.

Yeah , if that turned out to be bad then many people would never try to watch the anime.

also his "will" flowing into his sword 👀
I'm sorry but I think I might disagree with this. The rhythm I believe is the radio frequency of an object (or is it called wavelength?). To make this simple, the radio frequency of smartphone can cause disturbance to pilot communication system, hence the reason people are been advised to turn airplane mode during flight. This is probably because the radio frequency transmitted by smartphone is very close to the radio frequency of pilot communication system. The same frequency/wavelength/rhythm can cancel out each other.
So, when the sensei said that the swordsmen can cut nothing also can cut steel is about the understanding of the frequency (or Rhythm) of something will determine, what you can cut and what you can't cut. Zoro finally understood it and manage to figure out that steel rhythm, and that's why he confident of cutting it and also explain why suddenly Mr.2 can hear the rhythm of Zoro sword (steel).

u have your facts wrong bro, inconsistent yourself..Zoro went out to find Mihawk when he was 17-18, he was 10 when Kuina died, that is when he started training under his master.....he should have learnt to cut steel at age 10? right away just by hearing "cut nothing"
he did not even know what it meant.
@lonewolf9325 Nope. Zoro started learning under his master when he joined his dojo. He looked pretty young back then. 3? Nope. But 4, 5, 6, all possible. Not more than that. Zoro was 19 when we see him for the first time. Not 18. And when I said 15 years, it was not a hard 15, but rather around 15 since we don't know the exact year he was taught this trick. But should be around 15 years. Even if I take your word for it and make it when zoro was 10 or 11, that is still 8 or 9 years ago, and plenty of time to practice. He could have even started when he started his bounty hunting, or when he joined luffy, or when he lost to mihawk. But nope. He started in the middle of his fight. Does that make any sense? Remember this is the most important lesson his master ever taught him. With the aim to be the greatest swordsman in the world, why didn't he contemplate this teaching further? If he did not understand it, he could have asked his master for more clarifications as he grew older. Its not like his master was dead.
Remember that one moment when he knows where the stones will land and where his sword is. REMEMBER IT
I had forgotten how amazing Vivi's VA is
did Bach do the "Ma Ma Ma?" 😂
The answer to beating crocodile was shown when luffy was able to grab his arm and pull himself off the hook thanks to the old mans water barrel breaking and dousing his arm.
There is a hint during the Luffy vs Crocodile fight. Go back and watch it again until you find it !
Carlie - "You can't fight fire with fire - maybe you do..."
I am just commenting this and nothing more.... IYKYK
How have I watched all of your one piece content and only NOW seen that I haven‘t even subscribed O:
anime fans after a few years of watching anime 1:26
10:22 "Kokyuu" is "rhythm". There were a couple of subtitles a few seconds before this one where the only word said was "kokyuu", and the subtitle said "rhythm"
As for Zoro cutting steel, that's what the whole thing with the flashbacks to his master was about - a true swordsman can choose what he cuts, no matter how hard he swings his sword.
kokyuu might get translated to rhythm in some cases, but it literaly means breathing or respiration. the thing is japanese people use it for balance, harmony or essence of things
1:16 nihongo jozu !
Carlie cooking here live action not supposed to be 1 on 1 with anime, bcs i want different experience, live action can be more serious type of story bcs i want live action can be enjoyed by all people not just anime fans.
9:10 the ost kicking in 🥵
Fun Fact: in the first ever Filler Arc that you skipped, we actually get to Zoro already being able cut steel, which according to another Reactor kind of undermines Zoro’s moment here, what do you think?
Hm, i wonder if they ever mentioned the term Breath of All Things?
Anyway, with this, all that’s left is Luffy vs Crocodile.
I feel like that could be explained as that being a weaker metal. While with this, it’s like how most sword fights we’ve seen, it’s really only been Zoro and Mihawk who outright sliced through other swords so it’s a testament to not only how strong they are, but how strong Mr. 1 is too with steel only masters could cut through.
There is a trend with zoro's opponents lol
There's a "dark" trend you say?
Then let the counts begin 😂😂
The episode minority hunter was born
Mr 1 was way too cold damn
Another 120 episodes more for my favorite arc.
23:04 zoro tells you if you catch it
Bravo.
Ange is cooking.. he said it :)
May be you can do a top 10 strongest in the verse power scaling after each arc , one-piece fans are really into powerscaling especially on twitter .
Yeah Mr1 is a pretty big monster. In any other arc, he'd be the main antagonist, Luffy would struggle insanely hard against him. That really displays the difference between Croc and the rest of the enemies when one of his fighters is stronger than all of the arc bosses that Luffy has beaten before by far.
"I can't figure a way to defeat Crocodile" "Fire as well". Yeah we never see it but in my opinion, Ace could have destroyed the entirety of Baroque Works on his own easily, Crocodile included considering Ace is a bad matchup for Croc (and Mr 1 too, and Ms All Sunday, the three of which are the major threats here), you're right.
the original translation has "breathing" instead of Crunchyroll's weird "rhythm" which is a lot more clearer imo. which again is similar to Demon Slayer!
Do yourselves a favor... I'd avoid bad mouthing Mr.2 BonClay... he's a legend of legends.
Did he just say Bach is a french composer? 😭😭😭
What I liked about the One Piece live-action is that the story is darker and slightly different from the anime, leaning more towards the manga. I hope the upcoming seasons of OPLA will have an even darker storyline. What's great about it is that, whether you're a new or old fan, you'll still be curious about the story they'll present in the live-action. It would be boring if they just copied the anime story since there wouldn't be any thrill in watching it if we already know the plot. That's why I'm happy they changed some parts of the story.
note: remember this moment zoro able to cut steel 😏 its going to be important as you progress your journey to the one piece world
Actually, in the real world, a mere martial arts student using a high-carbon steel katana can cut through thin sheets of low-carbon steel. This is possible because high-carbon steel is harder and can hold a sharper edge. However, attempting to cut thicker sheets or moderate to high-carbon steel would be much more challenging and could damage the blade.
In terms of metallurgy, a sword made from higher carbon steel can easily damage a sword made from low-carbon steel. This explains, from a metallurgical perspective, why Mihawk's sword was able to destroy two of Zoro's katanas. Mihawk’s sword may be made of a 1095 Carbon Steel or T10 Tool Steel, which would naturally overpower Zoro's standard katanas (made of 1045 Carbon Steel).
Even if Mihawk didn't move his sword. Zoro could have damaged both his standard katanas (1045 Carbon Steel), hitting them hard enough on Mihawk's 1095 Carbon Steel or T10 Tool Steel Sword (assuming its made of real world material). So technically, Zoro did already damage steel in a sword fight before, only that he was the wielder (although some would argue it was actually Mihawk who cut Zoro's steel blades)
"My will is flowing into this sword"
-Zoro
Yeah. That is the first feat of h*** for the show.
the point of the palm tree was to show he can cut nothing at will but also steel ..
His observation 😭😭😭🎉
I thought the live action was pretty funny, all things considered, so I trust them with that going forward
There is an explanation for why he was able to cut steel but you guys are gonna have to wait 300 episodes for that 🤣
Mr. 1 should have go for the head, rookie mistake.
Mr 2 clears Blade man any day
There is only one other instance in fiction that I can think of, where someone has a sword in their mouth: Jesus in the Bible (Book of Revelation) No joke!
The way I read Zoro's level up is that his observational skills got way better and that he was able to sense atomic/molecular/cristalline frequencies, which helped him 'slice between their bonds', I guess. A bit esotheric, but it works in already off-the-rails fiction, I think.
9:16 oda already hinted observation haki
He already did that with Mr 3.
Zoro just used armanent haki infused with his sword to cut devil fruit user. In One Piece world, to beat devil users either you need to use haki or sea water or sea prism stone. There was no animation of haki in pre time skip that’s why i was hella confused when Zoro cut steel suddenly back then but now I realized how Oda explained the awakening of haki in brilliant way and I don’t think this is spoiler or even if it’s spoiler it really don’t make that difference.
you guys have no idea how much of a historian oda is
IDK the kicking claw force scene just reminds me of that scene from spy kids 3 when elijah wood shows up in one scene and the very next he dies. Like why was it included.
Watashi wa star 😂😂😂😂❤
star star star sutaa 😂
I think "cut nothing" means cutting between the particles
Well after loosing to mihawk zoro pledged until he defeats hawk eye he'll never loose again
I’m your 1,334 view!
day 2 of asking to watch sukuna vs mahoraga blu-ray
I really hate how you guys spend half the episode trying to come up with theories about what is going on rather than actually pay attention to what is happening.
👍👍👍👍
why google giving me like 6 google pixel ads per vid
yesssssssssssssss
❤
1 minute ago 4 comments i guess not washed
Ange, please react to Lookback movie It is an adaptaion of manga by Chainsaw Man author!
Guys i think you need to increase the one piece screen size.. Its small😢
And he can cut stone.....
Basically Zoro learned to cut what he wanted to cut. He doesn't want to cut the palm tree leaves so it didn't get cut.
There is a much deeper concept about this but it will be explained eventually 😂
So zoro was able to sense where stones would not fall and stuff
SPOILER
haki?????
As iam on ep977 where they found the traitor, hows the pacing further? Anyone knows who already the whole gear 5 and everything...
Can anyone say whether these guys turn their eyes towards watching Naruto or .. have they watched already long before... Or any chance that they may watch in future.... If anyone feels same PLS REPLY..Bruuh!!!
haki foreshadowing
This is way before Oda came up with the idea and system of Haki. The swordsmanship lessons here (everything has a rhythm, choosing what to cut, etc.) are just common tropes in Samurai/swordsman stories. Just like how Shanks scaring the sea monster wasn't haki foreshadowing - it was just the "murder intent" that has been a very common trope in animanga for decades.
Oda came up with Haki a bit before timeskip and decided to use it to explain some past feats that characters had. This is why many early actions and powers dont completely align with how Haki works later on and why many characters who we know had haki back then (in terms of continuity) didn't use it - because it simply didn't exist yet..
No. I think is more like frequency high and low note. Like a sound can break the glass with the right note. Many people think that every thing have a frequency that if you match it you can break it or cancel it like noise cancelling technology
@@AfroNinja1278 *Big Spoiler Warning*
No, this is clear haki foreshadowing. Zoro said he was "putting his will into the blade". What is haki? Willpower. It cant get clearer than that. In the future we also saw the exact same quote Zoro's master said, being said by Hyogoro while teaching haki. So that's 2 for 2, both crystal clear and pointing at this being haki.
Oda clearly had the general foundation of haki worked out extremely early on. Shanks displayed it, Zoro did here, Enel will in the next arc, Luffy does multiple times later. What Oda didn't have was the specifics worked out.
Y’all are HARSH on Sanji. He’s done the most this arc and Zoro fights ONCE and y’all move him above Sanji??? 😭😭😭 Damn.
Too many forget his being able to work from the shadows in this arc. Crocodile only knows his voice, Miss All Sunday hasn’t mentioned him, Bon Clay never got his face prior. He was able to feign being Mr. 3 to throw off the trail for a little, defeated the Unluckies, got the Eternal Pose, helped in getting Luffy and Nami to the mountain even if it meant self-sacrifice in the avalanche (if he hadn’t done what he had, Nami would have died from the impact), helped support Chopper against Kuromarimo and Chess before his injuries got to him, continued recon work with Chopper once in Alabasta since Chopper’s transformations weren’t all known and could be an advantage, came to the rescue as Mr. Prince, took down Bon Clay
@ It’s actually insane the strange amnesia that hits people when it comes to Sanji.
Water luffy incoming 🔥
Looks like Zoro has reached the bare minimum strength level to become a Demon Slayer, with a few more years he could become a Hashira
Bro why do you like mr 2 so much
This is possibly zoro’s best fight- because the climax actually showcases technique and is cinematically smooth and quiet. Most of his fights later just turn into dbz power fantasy…..
Is this really any different?
