The anime changes Sanjis backstory. Zeff does not get stuck he just rescues Sanji then gives him all the food and in needing to eat something in order to survive smashes his leg off with a jagged rock and eats it. Which for me made more sense for why Sanji felt so indebted to Zeff where as in the anime Zeff getting stuck more so felt like he was saving himself and in the process chose to grab Sanji
While I 100% agree that the original version in the manga is better, I don't think Zeff having to get himself unstuck underwater made it feel like he only incidentally saved Sanji. After all, he wouldn't have gotten his leg stuck in the first place if he hadn't jumped in the water after him. Like to me, the sentiment is still very much the same because he jumped in to save Sanji which directly led to him losing his leg. But yeah, it's just not as impactful as eating your own leg.
@@MrRubix01the sentiment is the same. I think they did the best censorship they could have here. It's just unfortunate that it doesn't have the same gravitas.
A few things to note that I think will let you appreciate the story more: Sanji isn't monologuing. He has a mental flashback, then reveals verbally that he's responsible for Zeff losing his leg, and everyone around him sort of vaguely pieces things together based on the hints he drops. Also, Zeff didn't kill anyone in that scene. Nor was he responsible for anyones deaths after he jumped off the ship. The storm created a huge wave that got both ships. Zeff sure wasn't expecting to lose his entire crew when he went after Sanji. It seems implied that the reason only Zeff and Sanii survived was because they were the only ones off the ship. He also didn't prioritize getting the treasure on the rock. When he woke up, that's just what was there. That's what contributed to reality's cruel irony.
You forgot to add that in the manga, Zeff does not lose his leg from it getting stuck but *graphic warning* he literally smashes his own leg off with a rock in order to have something to eat and to survive. It makes the choice of giving Sanji all the food so much heavier imo.
@@SunSlayerKD that too, but a lot of people mentioned that already so I thought I'd focus on things I didn't see mentioned. Still a super important aspect that was changed though!
You are very good at analyzing the series and its themes! BTW: In the manga, Zeff actually ate his own leg in order to survive instead of it getting cut off when he saved Sanji. So no, you aren't messed up for thinking about cannibalism :)
Once he gets past Drum Island we have to pressure him to do the 4kids rap...cause everyone needs to experience that at least once...as it is the only good thing from the 4kids dub...I also would like to see him react to the Funimation English opening.
Just so you know, Sanji doesn't tell his story here. Flashback is there for the viewers. For all the characters, including Luffy, present in that scene, Sanji simply talks about how he owes Zeff and is willing to risk his life. So it is important to note that Luffy doesn't know about Sanji's past at all. Also, most people must have told you this already, but again, in the manga, Zeff ate his leg.
I think the idea is that the backstory was just shown. Sanji didnt actually give a 5 min monologue and describe to everyone what happened in the detail we saw it happen.
some back stories are character flashbacks, like this one...Sanji remembering what happened, and some are in world story telling...think Shu Shu's story. Not that it matters to Luffy if he knows your back story or not...he does not care...if your his friend and you ask for help he will help.
Just commenting to be the 500th person to say: in the manga Zeff actually cut off his own leg and ate it after giving Sanji all the food. It hits a lot harder than what they changed it to here, in my opinion, and definitely makes more sense for Sanji to blame himself for Zeff no longer being able to be a pirate.
In the story Luffy didn't hear Sanji's story. He didn't speak for 5 min. Luffy didn't hear Sanji's story. These backstories are only for the viewer to understand the context, unless it is expressly told by the person concerned
Always though that when something else happens the other party doesnt just watch. for example when multiple fights going on the others dont just stop. The clock goes back a little and shows the other fight that is actually happening at the same time
The question of changing the story from the manga was because the anime people felt it was too violent to show the scene where Zeff didn't have his leg because he had eaten it too allow Sanji to have all the food.
its funny you mention about being sorry for the singing this episode as i was literally going to comment that the singing gives strong theatre kid vibes. you keep doing it tho man its fun!
dreams is a major part of one piece, it's the most important aspect alongside freedom, actually. that's why zeff saved sanji, also he never blamed sanji, sanji just blames himself
As some have mentioned in their very long rants here in the comment section; Zeff didn't get his leg stuck in the wreckage, he gave Sanji all the food and ate his own leg to survive but the anime changed that so that kids still could watch (as if nothing of the other stuff is horrific lol).
I hope you talked a bit more about the food aspect of this episode. How the morality was that ultimately, food is much more important than money, or really anything else.
Also lots of emphasis on personal code of Honor. "I'll feed any man that's Hungry but once that's thru if you attack this Restaurant I'll Kill all of you"
what is such a strength of OP is there is the magical power up that is Devil Fruits, yet out the gate we have plenty of people doing wild feats just because, and the only soft explanation is just sheer raw training and will. Zoro can bench press like 500 lbs? yeah he did training. Why can Krieg throw a mace the size of a small car? he big and strong. It lets the world have special magic people but also other people can be super freaks just because.
They actually change it inbthe anime. The manga after giving Sanji all the food Zeff actually cuts/smashes off his leg and eats it the island. But early one piece animators thought it was too violent.
Zef cutting off his leg to save Sanji is the pg version for the anime. In the manga, Zef gave Sanji all the food and survived by eating his own leg. Just an fyi.
Lol it was the storm tht capsized both they're ships, one of zeffs crew members ( prolly the navigator,) tells zeff right before he jumps after sanji that the storm is worse then they thought n they shld run. Unfortunately it was already too late for both ships at tht point. Zeff kicking the mast wasnt the reason the ship sank it was the wave that came up behind them immediately after he jumped. If zeff had left sanji to drown, and tried ta leave with his crew, him and sanji would have both sunk with their respective ships, ( sanji prbly drowning before washing ashore or who knos maybe he survives alone.) Its implied they only survived because they had both jumped ship, they got lucky. Also during the fight sanji didn't tell the story. We get ta see it in a flash back as sanji is dang near knocked unconscious. Like when zoro was sleeping and dreaming on the boat we see what sanji is remebering, but what sanji did say out loud was that zeff gave up his leg, being a pirate, and his dream for him, and that the only way he cld repay his kindness was through risking his own life. Which then pissed luffy off lol. Hes mad at what sanji said but he still doesnt know his backstory. Also zeff woke up with sanji, the treasure and what little food they had was washed up on the rock with them, zeff didnt collect it. Which is why zeff says it's ironic we have all this money and can't buy any food.
In la they left sanji hate wasting food🙂🙂sure he mentions we hate wasting food on this restaurant in la....but in anime he regreted wasting food when he is on island starving
Zeff didn't chsoe to kill anyone. There was a storm my dude. That's what killed everyone. Sanji was just the only person Zeff was able to save cause he jumped before the storm hit. And the reason he kept all the treasure was cause he wanted the money to make the Baratie, as even backthen he wanted to do some small way to make sure people didn't suffer like he and sanji did :3
As others said they did change the flashback scene in the anime, Zeff did cut and eat his own leg after sending Sanji on the other side of the rock. They also reduced the amount of days they were there, to justify Zeff still being alive. That's why Sanji is so obsessed with not wasting food, the trauma he went through is no joke. And no, he didn't monologue though i agree it looks like that😂 it was just a flashback, he wasn't telling those people the whole story.
Your set-ups and recaps (intro monologues) are on-point, my man. Short and sweet. I feel like you've done this before. 🤔 Edit: Sorry, commented a little early there. Keep singing! If you were off-key, it might be a little more annoying, but as is, it's highly entertaining. Very Broadway/theater too, I might add. And that love is going to be echoed by 99.9% of us OP fans. So yea, I think I can speak for most of us when I say "more please". Also, the more you enjoy the show, the more we enjoy watching you watch the show. 😁
Anime censors and tones down a lot of the messed up parts of One Piece so if you feel like something was going to be much more darker that it happened to be you're likely to be right.
Sanji smokes because it lessens his appetite. He never wants to feel that hungry again. Maybe nothing in this show happens by accident. As everything happens for a reason, our destiny slowly takes form.
It makes me so sad that you were so invested into the story behind Sanji and Zeff, had an amazing guess on why Zeff lost his leg, and got the anime version of it. Because as I'm sure most other people have mentioned, the original manga has Zeff eating his own leg for food. The Anime is a lie in this regard.
one of the big themes of One Piece is "inherited will" where a younger generation has the same dream as someone from the older generation, so the older person helps out the younger person since they are no longer able to achieve the dream themselves
If you measure One Piece world with our world, you're in for a treat. There are characters that can destroy cities and mountains with a single Punch without any Devil Fruit. Even luffy can destroy an entire city with a single punch(after episode 500). There is a thing call Haki which you will learn later.....
just read those few panels in the manga where you discover how zeff really loses his leg... you are facing the first problems in watching the anime I'm afraid
If you have moldy bread it is better to eat it than don't if you are almost starved to death. It is only harmful in the longer run. Tip from me that may save you some day :)

@@eaptan If you ask me, the anchor scene was more brutal than the implication of Zeff eating his own leg, and it didn't cancel it.
Either way, Zeff sacrificed his leg to save Sanji.
People rave about Zeff leg change from the manga yet are perfectly OK when the live action changes 90% of all the content
A few things to note that I think will let you appreciate the story more:

I honestly watch the anime and still thought he ate his leg 😭
No no, you MUST sing EVERY time for We Are 🔫😳
Once he gets past Drum Island we have to pressure him to do the 4kids rap...cause everyone needs to experience that at least once...as it is the only good thing from the 4kids dub...I also would like to see him react to the Funimation English opening.
The backstories in this show are more like flashbacks. It’s not being told by anyone it’s just giving us past information.
Just so you know, Sanji doesn't tell his story here. Flashback is there for the viewers. For all the characters, including Luffy, present in that scene, Sanji simply talks about how he owes Zeff and is willing to risk his life. So it is important to note that Luffy doesn't know about Sanji's past at all. Also, most people must have told you this already, but again, in the manga, Zeff ate his leg.
Singing We Are is mandatory, but dealer's choice whether to sing in Japanese or English

You’re the first reactor I’ve seen actually try and sing the intro and I think I speak for the majority when I say we all love it
In the story Luffy didn't hear Sanji's story. He didn't speak for 5 min. Luffy didn't hear Sanji's story.

The question that is most important is following your dreams.
i dont want you to stop singing, i want you to make whole cover! (very serious)
Nerdy Covers We Are!!!!!
I never heard anybody explain one piece so perfectly before 🙌🏾
its funny you mention about being sorry for the singing this episode as i was literally going to comment that the singing gives strong theatre kid vibes. you keep doing it tho man its fun!
Now do you see why Sanji was upset over Fullbody wasted food?
Oda likes goofy but also it's a tool to disarm us, for later purposes.. he's a mind controller
sanji doesnt want to be the greatest anything, he just wants to find the magical sea, he's already the greatest chef arguably lol
dreams is a major part of one piece, it's the most important aspect alongside freedom, actually. that's why zeff saved sanji, also he never blamed sanji, sanji just blames himself
As some have mentioned in their very long rants here in the comment section; Zeff didn't get his leg stuck in the wreckage, he gave Sanji all the food and ate his own leg to survive but the anime changed that so that kids still could watch (as if nothing of the other stuff is horrific lol).
Great analysis about how the physics are goofy, while the show never makes fun of a characters movivations!
I hope you talked a bit more about the food aspect of this episode. How the morality was that ultimately, food is much more important than money, or really anything else.
Also lots of emphasis on personal code of Honor. "I'll feed any man that's Hungry but once that's thru if you attack this Restaurant I'll Kill all of you"
your instincts were really spot on. the anchor leg thing is a censor for TV
what is such a strength of OP is there is the magical power up that is Devil Fruits, yet out the gate we have plenty of people doing wild feats just because, and the only soft explanation is just sheer raw training and will. Zoro can bench press like 500 lbs? yeah he did training. Why can Krieg throw a mace the size of a small car? he big and strong. It lets the world have special magic people but also other people can be super freaks just because.
I just love how you react and analyze all the chapters, this is priceless, really. Thanks a bunch for this.

In the source material, Zeff eats his own leg to give Sanji all of the food. The anime edited that into zeff getting stuck.
I'm looking forward to your vides every week! Feels like rewatching OP with fresh eyes
never stop singing
Never!!!!!!

I love his reactions but idk how he came to that conclusion 😅
The man has NO IDEA how to suspend his disbelief. Like, check out his FMA reactions....
Your singing brings me just as much joy as the songs brings to you 😊
This might be a world with goofy laws of physics, but everything acts as if that's normal. That's probably why it works so well.
Yuuuup. That characters treat it 100% seriously. I love how Oda pulled it off.
As others said they did change the flashback scene in the anime, Zeff did cut and eat his own leg after sending Sanji on the other side of the rock.

Love your singing keep going. I like it. Nice energetic start😁
Your El Dorado comparison regarding Zeff's treatment of Sanji made me almost spit my drink over my keyboard.
🤣
The only cook at the Baratie that was a pirate before the restaurant was established was Zeff. The others are jist ill-tempered cooks.
the reason why one piece characters look so goofy is so that oda can do anything with them like give em crazy powers or smth
Keep singing! It’s a bop, absolutely understandable
absolutely love the backstory episode, big hype thanks again Nerdy!~
I gotta say 100 episodes in the future I am missing the opening song a bit.
congrats for being almost half way through east blue saga!
1:25 Keep singing!!
Anime censors and tones down a lot of the messed up parts of One Piece so if you feel like something was going to be much more darker that it happened to be you're likely to be right.

Maybe nothing in this show happens by accident. As everything happens for a reason, our destiny slowly takes form.
zeff in the manga actually cuts his leg and eats it in order to survive.
Lol we singing every Opening as well bro!
You really, really get One Piece and I love that
I hope a Mod sends him the info about the leg. Im sure we will get an update next episode.
We Are, One of the One Piece Anthems! We all sings this all the time!
Actually in the manga Zeff doesnt lose his leg like that but instead cuts with a rock/knife and eats it to survive! They just changed it in anime!
Why would you stop singing this awesome opening song? It makes me nostalgic whenever it start playing
You talking about Sanji eating Zeff's leg so much makes me wonder if you're prepared for much later on.
never stop singing, it's great
Sanji kicking the boat is to show how strong he is.
“Wtf?! hahahahaha!!… sure” is a common reaction while reading/watching Oda’s work
i think i want the singing in every episode. In fact, I demand a full Karaoke version of the opening as a separate video.
Do it do it do it!!!!!
The Opening song has better lyrics translation in the EngDub
I look forward to the singing.
It makes me so sad that you were so invested into the story behind Sanji and Zeff, had an amazing guess on why Zeff lost his leg, and got the anime version of it.
Because as I'm sure most other people have mentioned, the original manga has Zeff eating his own leg for food. The Anime is a lie in this regard.
I accept your singing. But from now on I'll wait for the singing of all the other openings ♥
one of the big themes of One Piece is "inherited will" where a younger generation has the same dream as someone from the older generation, so the older person helps out the younger person since they are no longer able to achieve the dream themselves
We are Is a classic. We never get another opening quiet like it.
Spoiler... Zeff ate his own leg in the original manga, but it was too hardcore for kids, so they changed it in the anime
We WANT you to keep singing the intros ❤
10/10 singing. WE ARE!
You are actually not far from the truth with your cannibalism theory. Only that Zeff ate his own leg and gave all his food to sanji.
KEEP SINGING! IT's not a pirate show/cruise if there's no singing! :D HAHAHHAHAHAHAAH!
I dig the intro enthusiasm. I wish they didn't get spoiler heavy later down the line. still love it though.
Don't worry there are so many banger openings to come
So many!!!!!!
Ironically in the manga. Zeff ate his own leg.
At this point in the story Usop's dream is to become a great man of the sea.
If you measure One Piece world with our world, you're in for a treat.
There are characters that can destroy cities and mountains with a single Punch without any Devil Fruit. Even luffy can destroy an entire city with a single punch(after episode 500).
There is a thing call Haki which you will learn later.....
you better never stop singing
I thought that zelda cap was a 40k one.😂
just read those few panels in the manga where you discover how zeff really loses his leg... you are facing the first problems in watching the anime I'm afraid
What if i want you to sing all the time?
Some of these are non-canon but a censorship problem.
Sing more please. That was so fun.
Oh boy, someone tell him what actually happened
Kid Sanji's voice!!
I wonder if he realizes there are official English lyrics and an official English song
If you have moldy bread it is better to eat it than don't if you are almost starved to death. It is only harmful in the longer run. Tip from me that may save you some day :)
Zeff ate his own leg.
Upload the "We Are" Opening Cover.
I'm waiting. 😐
in the manga zeff eats his own leg
He probably didnt tell the whole story or the story at all. Oda just showed us it. But idk
Just gonna say this up front: Don't worry about Pearl.
Just... let it happen and move on.
someone show this man the english cover of we are. its a lot easier to sing in english
Is it Thursday yet?
Here we go a starving again
Don't stop singing, it's not at advice, it's an order.
Think thats dark? Wait till you find out what happened in the manga
I cut out your singing and using at an alarm to wake up
I'm going to need you to never not sing the opening song.
Yummy yummy leg
Sanji ate zeff leg? That would be so much darker actually (but it is kinda true in a way)
