Also here's something else. When Shanks was confronted in Windmill Village, Luffy got mad and Shanks was chill. When Luffy got confronted in mocktown, Luffy was calm and Nami was mad. Now fast forward to Return to Sabody, when Nami was confronted by the fake straw hats, she kept her cool and ignored them. She learned from Luffy
I also liked Blackbeard in Impel Down, where he talks about destiny. After facing Magellan he says ''you do what you have to do and you die only if it is your destiny'', that is the definition of ''fearlessness''
It's so strange how Blackbeard gives a speech on the importance of dreams, and Luffy, who champions this idea throughout the story and always smiles at this kind of talk, instead just stares right through Teach. Luffy has ignored people before, and stared at them with anger and hatred, but I can't recall another moment where he stares at someone with such emptiness in his eyes.
I remember reading an interpretation of Luffy's emptiness somewhere that I really liked: "For the first time, he met someone else that he believed could become the pirate king."
Blackbeard was never liked in the beginning. He is the exact opposite of Luffy in every way except his end goal and relying on faith/destiny He is a coward He is vocal about his deep desires He uses others He remains in the shadows hidden Etc
@@veloc.raptor9136 i love every little bit of him, even his recklessness and cowardice act make BLACKBEARD a really great streotypical pirate you can found in most history book related to sailors 😍
This may be a reach, but I love how height is used between Luffy and Blackbeard. In the bar, Blackbeard is literally looking down on Luffy whereas Luffy is looking up. But then at Blackbeards speech you can see that when he sat down their eyes meet at the same height. They both respect each other and share the same ideals. He doesn't talk down on Luffy, but rather sees him as an equal pirate. And later on , after Blackbeards actions, when they meet again in Impel Down we have that panel of Blackbeard towering over Luffy looking down on him, as he got stronger and turned into Luffys biggest enemy. So yeah, maybe a reach, but maybe not. You never know with Oda
It's so ironic that when we first saw blackbeard we thought blackbeard was good guy and when we saw whitebeard we thought he was a bad guy. But we were all wrong.
That's the moment when I knew Blackbeard wasn't just going to be a funny background character to bounce Luffy jokes off of. It's also what makes him so ambivalent to me: on one hand I detest him for what he did to Ace but on the other I cannot help but respect his freedom and way of life
Oda is always a master at pulling loose threads. Small introduction and less profiles on his villains make it easier to shape them later on in the story.
I like that we're led to believe that Blackbeard didn't believe Luffy's bounty was 30 million because it was too high, when in reality he didn't believe it because it was too low. Something epic about that idk
When he is hit by a bullet? No! When he suffers a disease? No! When he ate a soup made out of a poisonous mushroom? No! A man dies when he is forgotten!"
To understand why Luffy didn't fight back, consider the park bench scene from Good Will Hunting: > Sean: Thought about what you said to me the other day, about my painting. Stayed up half the night thinking about it. Something occurred to me... fell into a deep peaceful sleep, and haven't thought about you since. Do you know what occurred to me? > Will: No. > Sean: You're just a kid, you don't have the faintest idea what you're talkin' about. Luffy is ready to defend himself against someone who has insulted his dreams. But then, as Luffy listens to the guy explain himself, it occurs to Luffy what kind of life this man must be living. This is a guy who genuinely believes that dreams are worthless, that putting your life at risk for your ambitions is a waste. How miserable must that be? This man will never experience the unparalleled joy of getting that one step closer to your goal, or reminisce about the crazy things you've experienced in your journey to get there. This man, who has never even experienced the kind of "dreams" he's denouncing, is trying to call them worthless. What possible satisfaction could you get from beating him up? It isn't "evil" that he doesn't believe in dreams, it's just... sad.
It's also a show of how much Luffy has learned from Shanks since he was a kid, when Higura, the bandit made fun of Shanks, Shanks didn't care, but Luffy made a big deal, here we see Luffy take Shanks' role while Zoro follows Luffy's lead and Nami takes Luffy's role
Currently binging your stuff and as someone who needs captions to be able to make out the words in videos, big thank you for including actual written captions in your videos. They immediately make your stuff more accessible and easier to consume. The deep analysis of this part of the story is cool. We all know this moment with Blackbeard and Bellamy hits different, but not necessarily understand just *what* makes it so great. A joy to watch.
As a man, who has a dream which everyone says is, for someone like me is not achievable , and those who know what my "dream" is only knows a small fraction of it, this scene/moment in One Piece has touched me the most and still does till now. This and Hiriluck's "Men only die when they are forgotten", which is also related to the dream of mine, are the two, in all of fiction which I had read and seen, you can say, important, touching my very core, scenes.

mrbow177 And i just saw this scene not to long ago because i actually just got done with Skypiea, so of course i saw the Blackbeard speech\introduction not to long ago, but it’s crazy he actually shows up so earlier in the series, and seems like a kind and caring guy until you see his evil side at marine ford.
The popular theory is that Blackbeard is 3 people in 1 body. I just think Luffy and Zoro were referring to BB crew. Before they encountered BB here, they've met Doc Q exploding people, seen birds get sniped off the sky and i think the hunk of a man Jesus Burgess. They simply connected the dots that those dangerous fellows must be together and connected them to Blackbeard
@@DINO-hr3wb luffy probably saw him as a very respectable person on the likes of Ace and Shanks, someone who can overcome and achieve their dreams. Little did he know Blackbeard was searching for luffy in order to kidnap him
@@pepperonicheesecake1656 idk its just the fact that zoro said 'its them" at the end is why I kind of have a theory that luffy was looking at something different
13:35 I thought it was because Bellamy and his crew said they were pirates that Luffy and Zoro were ready to fight. But by laughing and saying dreams are over they showed themselves to be less than pirates (like the mountain bandits). Also I think Luffy and Zoro recognized that Teach was a pirate and thus had a crew. That's why they corrected Nami and said they were ready to fight "them"
I really don’t know how good this scene is, but I think the walk to Arlong park was the first time most fans knew how talented oda is.That was the first time I knew I wanted to follow this show. Please do a revisit on this Ohara!
I think that fact that the BB pirates went after Luffy only to get stopped by "dreams" is poetic too. The straw hats were already on their way to skypia. I think this symbolism of dreams will be the same reason as to how BB is defeated.
So small thing, my boy Blackbeard defeat Ace in a fight and turn him into the World Government, but akinu is the one that killed him. Now I thoroughly believe that if Shanks stands in the way of him getting a certain big Square Rock he'd most definitely kill him to get it... Or just because
Still one of my favorite scenes in all of anime. Plus, Luffy and Zoro's comments about Blackbeard's "condition" really elevated my interest in this character
The first bird that auger shot down when the straw hat’s were otw to log-town was insane, it shows just how far ahead he was from usopp at the time. A whole different level. The bird that just randomly died at the begging of that episode was so far away 🤯🤯🤯
During Luffy’s battle with Katakuri, he had a flashback to when Rayleigh was training him and asked Luffy how does he plan on beating various haki masters in the new world to which he replied, “Depends on what kind of a person they are.” This way of thinking goes hand in hand with Luffy not giving the time of his day to Bellamy in Mocktown. Oda is goated fr!
Blackbeard is Reincarnation of Xebec D. Rox. Teach & Rox in one body. His Rox part makes him seem brave at times but his Teach side makes him seem cowardly too... hence the Scaramouche persona he has. Remember when Zoro refers to him as "them" ?
I don't know if this is just me but luffy at least from what I remember never killed one of his enimes ( I mean a main enemy like crocodile or hordy) but instead beats the dream out of them making them have no point to fight but for belemy he beat a dream into him because he felt pitty
Such a deep and great video. You perfectly pointed everything out. Its really impressive how Goda made perfect villain that you simple cannot hate,and the weirdest thing of all is that he had such a limited time in story so far,but still is one of the greatest villains ever.
I really like these videos, while a bunch of TH-camrs focus on grand themes and everything. Your individual character focus on how each characters speech, like this one, or Robin's "I want to Live!" Really puts them into perspective on why this show is great.
Just want to say I love love love love love the freaking crap out of your content and am so glad i found your channel you are so awesome and well spoken and well thought 💭 love it man keep it up
Will this series only include moments that've been animated already? Cuz I feel like something that could make an amazing vid would be the "Born to Boil" Scene. It also feels like it doesn't get talked about much anymore. Love the vids btw!
I'm from Rio, Brazil. I read since 2004... This is the Best One Piece Channel. I've already fought about the dreams in this part, but you knew how to express yourself, captain. Go on.
By far my favourite scene in the series, everything was set up so perfectly for this moment to hit as hard as it did. Looking for Sky island, Bellamy insulting those who dream, Luffy refusing to fight. And then the speech, that single scene that is able to encapsulate everything One Piece is about and why I love it so much. Blackbeard is my favourite villain of all time
I dont normally like or comment on videos but your work, overall is great, on this topic is sheer gold. Keep it up man! Look forward to your next video.
To me it’s a psychological scene. Some ideas are so bad they aren’t worth contending with. Arguing with a flat earther is like fighting with Bellamy, it’s not worth it. Fighting with Blackbeard is a fight against luffys dark side and is worth contending with, the fight reveals information like a good argument with a respected friend, often resulting in personal growth.
@@deadlypandaghost Everyone who watches this channel should know about what is fact and what is not. Also Ohara rarely (never) makes it clear what is fact and what's theory in his videos when talking about coherences. You are just using double standards. Fans of OP theories and this channel instantly know what my comment is about. There is no clarification needed.
Blackbeard one of most interesting anime characters ever even tho i hate him I can’t deny the fact that he might be best villain of all times at the end of the story.
If it counts as an anime Prince Zuko of Avatar: The Last Aribender is an even much better villain for me. There is just so much character development. Of Blackbeard we don't know very much, although he was mentioned almost twenty years ago for the first time.
Thank you Ohara; although I’m sure it wasn’t your intention, this video has opened up one of my long forgotten samskaras, giving me the chance to heal. We should all remember that a life without a dream, is no life worth living at all
I didn't even know that they said this! or possibly forgot it wasn't as impactful in the anime as it was in the Manga and I only watched the anime back then. holy shit. I'm full on with this theory, that's why only Luffy and Zoro felt more than once presence and also why he seems like at least two different people comparing this scene to impel down.
The popular theory is that Blackbeard is 3 people in 1 body. I just think Luffy and Zoro were referring to BB crew. Before they encountered BB here, they've met Doc Q exploding people, seen birds get sniped off the sky and i think the hunk of a man Jesus Burgess. They simply connected the dots that those dangerous fellows must be together and connected them to Blackbeard
@@nightlessbaron But maybe that's what Oda wants us to think from a natural perspective. But if you think outside the box, the "3 in 1" theory kinda makes since. Oda is too clever man! Can't wait to find how they reveal how blackbeard is able to do that.
This is deffo one of a small handful of moments in the manga that left me feeling "woah, this story is bigger than I give it credit for". Great vid, great topic.
I've never liked the idea of Blackbeard having multiple souls/personalities. He's just a very nuanced and unpredictable character and the souls theory would ruin that about him
It wouldn't ruin anything because Blackbeard already has an abnormal body for possessing two DF's. Don't be disappointed if the answer to his powers ends up being goofy as hell; The man is a foil to Luffy, after all. The fact that Luffy and Zoro refer to BB as "Them" only raises questions about the way his mind works, as he strangely just waltzed into Magellan's poison without utilizing his darkness.
If you think about it, Dreams really do never die. Even if people fail to attain them, desires don't just vanish. The truth is our feelings about dreams may sour or turn into contempt, but DREAMS NEVER DIE nor wane. For example, Gecko Moria and his whole story from nothing to something, back to nothing (make hella zombies), then desperately tryna gain something. Gecko never lost sight of obtaining the One Piece and becoming Pirate King, even after becoming a zombie.
I think the reason Luffy didn’t fight the people in mock town is explained by Oda himself. Since Luffy doesn’t kill his enemies, but aims to crush their dreams since that is worse in his eyes than death. When the people in Mocktown mock dreams in general and the sky islands, Luffy knows their dreams are gone and there is no purpose to fight them.
700th comment: You just helped me solve the mystery of why Luffy and Zoro said "THEM" and "THEY" when Nami talked about Blackbeard. They met 2 or 3 other members of Blackbeard's crew before. So...they COULD have guessed that those people are a crew. Of course... this is just a guess. I like the other popular theories.
This part and the whole jaya arc was brilliant, might be one of my favourite arcs. Glad that this was covered too. So much stuff happened in that one scene alone. I really want to read it again.
Blackbeard is the best character in one piece Imo .. and his speech in Jaya is the best moment " people dreams never die " it is the most realistic words you can read in any story
He fears White Beard, not death. He didn't show fear facing Magellan, Garp, Sengoku, Shanks, even when Akainu chased him Teach was extremely calm, sort of implying he already expect his "exchange" with Bonnie to go south.
@@snakeliquid2243 If you think BB was honestly begging you are a fool. He just tries every little trick. And he saw that Squardo has been forgiven by WB, so he might as well try to gain a small advantage.
"If you haven't gotten yourself a cup of coffee, or tea..." How did you know I was watching this first thing in the morning before work? The coffee was good though, thanks for the suggestion.
I just realised, in the infamous white panel of the 3 Straw hats and Blackbeard they are shown in contrast to each other for the foreshadowing of their future conflict but also it could also be highlighting the 3 entities within Blackbeard as well. Nami, Zorro and Luffy on one side and would will be the Yami Yami no Mi entity, future Gura Gura no Mi entity and the possible unknown devil fruit entity. Thus, explaining why Zorro and Luffy said "not him, but them".
It's odd that blackbeard talks about dreams but in the manga. SPOILERS FOR THE WANO ARC The flashback of Oden's past has Buggy and Shanks note that he didn't sleep at all for the three days that Whitebeard and Roger fought Another thing to note is that when Oda Drew blackbeard as a Child he's crying and looking at the moon Almost as if he can't sleep at all
I think the three skulls on his skull flag and zoro and luffy saying "it's not him, it's them" means that blackbeard has three personnalities or rather 3 souls in him! Ace also did say to blackbeard why did you change but he said nothing has changed (i think) maybe out of the 3 personnalities 2 are awake and ate 2 different devil fruits but the third one is asleep
@@sourklive idk I don’t think so I think he can take the devil fruits because of his devil fruits that’s basically a black hole. If it can stop it’s powere maybe it could take it to
Which colored version are you using for the videos? It seems to have brighter coloring than the one I read As always great video, great format I'm so hyped for a full display of Blackbeards character (with flashback etc) maybe more than for every other character :D
Because I watch a lot of one Piece content the 1st video of this series showed up in my notifications, I've been enjoying the channel since and I'm excited for the next video
I might have interpreted it wrong but Blackbeard at that time had not taken Ace out. He wanted Luffy for his bounty so he could become warlord. Since Luffy narrowly escaped, he had to change the target and Ace provided with perfect opportunity later
It's worth pointing out how Luffy and Garp slept talking to each other. It's as if the traits of their clan made them dream while interacting with each other. It's like it's cultural, and more than considering what is a legitimate dream or not, the idea is not to consider it as ilegitimate, but another form of dealing with strife (lack of food), whether it be literally or figuratively. Whereas Luffy will "truly dream" by sleeping and being courageous, perhaps Teach wont sleep out of fear, thus "false dreaming" over what he wishes to have for himself in a much more self conscious way, unlike Luffy's perspective, Teach will deal over suffering by staying awake and focusing on himself and all of the cruel relations of our current world, rather on projecting a projected world where things can be imagined and constructed, which Luffy looks like he would be the kind of person to be. We could say the will of the D represents humanity's chaotic drive which consists of an "out of control" factor, the very same factor which guides humanity, we may say the D clan is that part of humanity which can't be controlled, the oppressed people of the world who can't have things but will always strive for their share one day.
Blackbeard and Luffy both have the same dreams, same motivations but different approach and outlook. They both want to be free, they both want to be pirate king, they both care about their own crew (Teach to an extent when he warns Burgess not to attack Ace because he won't win.). But their approach is similar too but differs. Luffy is straightforward, take down the strongest person there. If not, take down the second but through strength. Blackbeard is deceptive. He takes down the strongest person there (Whitebeard) but through deceit and strategy.
Also here's something else. When Shanks was confronted in Windmill Village, Luffy got mad and Shanks was chill. When Luffy got confronted in mocktown, Luffy was calm and Nami was mad. Now fast forward to Return to Sabody, when Nami was confronted by the fake straw hats, she kept her cool and ignored them. She learned from Luffy
I don’t know who Laffy is but he seems like a fun character. Edit: good on you for correcting it
Huh, good point.

I also liked Blackbeard in Impel Down, where he talks about destiny. After facing Magellan he says ''you do what you have to do and you die only if it is your destiny'', that is the definition of ''fearlessness''

And we get to Marineford and he was scared of whitebeard. He only is fearless if he has the control.

It’s crazy how underrated creativity is these days but great video my g.
Ohara is making some of the best One Piece content OUT HERE
I hope one of these days you can revise Dr. Hiriluk last words. " I man dies when he is forgotten"
This is so relatable for me especially in the times we are in right now.
*This is my era!*
Such a deep and great video. You perfectly pointed everything out. Its really impressive how Goda made perfect villain that you simple cannot hate,and the weirdest thing of all is that he had such a limited time in story so far,but still is one of the greatest villains ever.
O'Hara has always been an underrated channel. I really hope this series catapults him into where he should be.
Why do I feel like Blackbeard will have a heartbreaking backstory?
No
heartbreaking story of being in a ship without the sort of dream he likes
I really like these videos, while a bunch of TH-camrs focus on grand themes and everything. Your individual character focus on how each characters speech, like this one, or Robin's "I want to Live!" Really puts them into perspective on why this show is great.
Just want to say I love love love love love the freaking crap out of your content and am so glad i found your channel you are so awesome and well spoken and well thought 💭 love it man keep it up
Holy shit! Thanks man, really happy to hear you enjoy it!
What about his laughter which is the best thing about his character "zehahahahahahahaha"
Will this series only include moments that've been animated already? Cuz I feel like something that could make an amazing vid would be the "Born to Boil" Scene. It also feels like it doesn't get talked about much anymore. Love the vids btw!
it's great moment too but imagine how it gonna be in the anime
the mainstream one piece tubers aren't going to talk about that because god forbid you spoil the anime only army with the titles and thumbnails
omg, you know how to create expectation and cause chills, man, great vid
End of the video: Thank guys, peace!
Me: One Piece
I'm from Rio, Brazil. I read since 2004... This is the Best One Piece Channel. I've already fought about the dreams in this part, but you knew how to express yourself, captain. Go on.
obrigado!
By far my favourite scene in the series, everything was set up so perfectly for this moment to hit as hard as it did. Looking for Sky island, Bellamy insulting those who dream, Luffy refusing to fight. And then the speech, that single scene that is able to encapsulate everything One Piece is about and why I love it so much. Blackbeard is my favourite villain of all time
I dont normally like or comment on videos but your work, overall is great, on this topic is sheer gold. Keep it up man! Look forward to your next video.
Thank you very much!
Brilliant series for a brilliant show, this is probably my most re-visited One Piece moment of all time.
To me it’s a psychological scene. Some ideas are so bad they aren’t worth contending with. Arguing with a flat earther is like fighting with Bellamy, it’s not worth it. Fighting with Blackbeard is a fight against luffys dark side and is worth contending with, the fight reveals information like a good argument with a respected friend, often resulting in personal growth.
Oh, Blackbeard does sleep. But one of his 3 selfs is always awaken.
this is just a theory ,not a fact
Mental Popcorn well there had been in the manga where shanks and buggy said Blackbeard never slept
@@tarikizgua1835 Oh no, what a bold comment of me on a theory channel...
@@AstorThalis Theory should be stated as theory not fact. There needs to be some indication so that others don't take it as fact
@@deadlypandaghost Everyone who watches this channel should know about what is fact and what is not. Also Ohara rarely (never) makes it clear what is fact and what's theory in his videos when talking about coherences. You are just using double standards.
Fans of OP theories and this channel instantly know what my comment is about. There is no clarification needed.
Blackbeard one of most interesting anime characters ever even tho i hate him I can’t deny the fact that he might be best villain of all times at the end of the story.
If it counts as an anime Prince Zuko of Avatar: The Last Aribender is an even much better villain for me. There is just so much character development.
Of Blackbeard we don't know very much, although he was mentioned almost twenty years ago for the first time.
Himolino doflamingo and aizen current best anime villains
Every time he says dream i want to tag Dream in it...
Thank you Ohara; although I’m sure it wasn’t your intention, this video has opened up one of my long forgotten samskaras, giving me the chance to heal.
We should all remember that a life without a dream, is no life worth living at all
Jaya is absolutely GOATed
I love these scene breakdowns. Great Video
Can we talk more about this “them” thing? Can we go down the rabbit hole? I don’t fully understand it.
The theory is that Blackbeard might be more than one person, hence why he can use two devil fruits. Very scary, yes.
I didn't even know that they said this! or possibly forgot
it wasn't as impactful in the anime as it was in the Manga and I only watched the anime back then. holy shit. I'm full on with this theory, that's why only Luffy and Zoro felt more than once presence and also why he seems like at least two different people comparing this scene to impel down.
The popular theory is that Blackbeard is 3 people in 1 body.
I just think Luffy and Zoro were referring to BB crew. Before they encountered BB here, they've met Doc Q exploding people, seen birds get sniped off the sky and i think the hunk of a man Jesus Burgess. They simply connected the dots that those dangerous fellows must be together and connected them to Blackbeard
Nah, I think others are going way too deep into theory thing. Here, I think, by "them", it means not just Blackbeard but his crew.
@@nightlessbaron But maybe that's what Oda wants us to think from a natural perspective. But if you think outside the box, the "3 in 1" theory kinda makes since. Oda is too clever man! Can't wait to find how they reveal how blackbeard is able to do that.
Upvote for providing the specific chapters and episodes, great video!
This series might really be the best thing happened to humanity in 2020.
“They can laugh at us all they want, because when you aim big, you often come across fights that just aren’t worth fighting. Right?”
If they fought Bellamy would be dead.
Bellamy grew on me man, loved him at Dressrosa
This is deffo one of a small handful of moments in the manga that left me feeling "woah, this story is bigger than I give it credit for". Great vid, great topic.
I've never liked the idea of Blackbeard having multiple souls/personalities.
He's just a very nuanced and unpredictable character and the souls theory would ruin that about him
It wouldn't ruin anything because Blackbeard already has an abnormal body for possessing two DF's. Don't be disappointed if the answer to his powers ends up being goofy as hell; The man is a foil to Luffy, after all. The fact that Luffy and Zoro refer to BB as "Them" only raises questions about the way his mind works, as he strangely just waltzed into Magellan's poison without utilizing his darkness.
bro...ain go lie...lowkey miss how chill the iconic moment series is...love from the future thru the past...
The "trademarc" at 2:43 😂😂
If you think about it, Dreams really do never die. Even if people fail to attain them, desires don't just vanish. The truth is our feelings about dreams may sour or turn into contempt, but DREAMS NEVER DIE nor wane. For example, Gecko Moria and his whole story from nothing to something, back to nothing (make hella zombies), then desperately tryna gain something. Gecko never lost sight of obtaining the One Piece and becoming Pirate King, even after becoming a zombie.
Man the background music made the experience even more incredible keep it up👍
Also the introduction of Black Beard to the story is quite subtle, but also quite underrated.
Roger laughing it's one of my favorite recent moments, it would be fantastic a video of that scene even if it's not in the anime yet.
The understanding between zoro and luffy is amazing
I think the reason Luffy didn’t fight the people in mock town is explained by Oda himself. Since Luffy doesn’t kill his enemies, but aims to crush their dreams since that is worse in his eyes than death. When the people in Mocktown mock dreams in general and the sky islands, Luffy knows their dreams are gone and there is no purpose to fight them.
“No sleep for the wicked” really applies to Teach
700th comment: You just helped me solve the mystery of why Luffy and Zoro said "THEM" and "THEY" when Nami talked about Blackbeard. They met 2 or 3 other members of Blackbeard's crew before. So...they COULD have guessed that those people are a crew. Of course... this is just a guess. I like the other popular theories.
This part and the whole jaya arc was brilliant, might be one of my favourite arcs. Glad that this was covered too. So much stuff happened in that one scene alone. I really want to read it again.
Blackbeard is the best character in one piece Imo .. and his speech in Jaya is the best moment " people dreams never die " it is the most realistic words you can read in any story
not gonna lie, I love that they made bb squirrelly like how pathetic he SEEMED against wb. it makes him feel like so much more real of a final boss
I wish we could've seen Bellamy reaction to Luffy Yonko news lmao
Nice
Only diff between luffy and bb is that bb fears death.will b his downfall in the end that fear
He fears White Beard, not death. He didn't show fear facing Magellan, Garp, Sengoku, Shanks, even when Akainu chased him Teach was extremely calm, sort of implying he already expect his "exchange" with Bonnie to go south.
He doesn't. He is more realistic than Luffy. That's it.
@@snakeliquid2243 If you think BB was honestly begging you are a fool. He just tries every little trick. And he saw that Squardo has been forgiven by WB, so he might as well try to gain a small advantage.
"If you haven't gotten yourself a cup of coffee, or tea..."
How did you know I was watching this first thing in the morning before work?
The coffee was good though, thanks for the suggestion.
As always, highest quality content from Ohara..
I try 🦊
15:32 oh thats interesting.
Bellamy attacked luffy the first time from behind, the second Time from the Front. Showing him as more upstanding Person.
I just realised, in the infamous white panel of the 3 Straw hats and Blackbeard they are shown in contrast to each other for the foreshadowing of their future conflict but also it could also be highlighting the 3 entities within Blackbeard as well. Nami, Zorro and Luffy on one side and would will be the Yami Yami no Mi
entity, future Gura Gura no Mi entity and the possible unknown devil fruit entity. Thus, explaining why Zorro and Luffy said "not him, but them".
yo when is luffy vs sanji analysis coming?
I love the scene where Blackbeard threatens Shanks at Marine Fort from a voice acting perspective. Goose bumps
Seu canal é incrivel! Sou um grande fã de One Piece e seu conteúdo é sensacional!
shanks was almost light years out of higumos reach lmao good one
It's odd that blackbeard talks about dreams but in the manga.
SPOILERS FOR THE WANO ARC
The flashback of Oden's past has Buggy and Shanks note that he didn't sleep at all for the three days that Whitebeard and Roger fought
Another thing to note is that when Oda Drew blackbeard as a Child he's crying and looking at the moon
Almost as if he can't sleep at all
I think the three skulls on his skull flag and zoro and luffy saying "it's not him, it's them" means that blackbeard has three personnalities or rather 3 souls in him! Ace also did say to blackbeard why did you change but he said nothing has changed (i think) maybe out of the 3 personnalities 2 are awake and ate 2 different devil fruits but the third one is asleep
@@sourklive idk I don’t think so I think he can take the devil fruits because of his devil fruits that’s basically a black hole. If it can stop it’s powere maybe it could take it to
Nice.
Which colored version are you using for the videos?
It seems to have brighter coloring than the one I read
As always great video, great format
I'm so hyped for a full display of Blackbeards character (with flashback etc) maybe more than for every other character :D
It's a remastered version of the manga, that's sadly only available in Japanese. Really high quality though
Because I watch a lot of one Piece content the 1st video of this series showed up in my notifications, I've been enjoying the channel since and I'm excited for the next video
amazing analysis as always
I might have interpreted it wrong but Blackbeard at that time had not taken Ace out. He wanted Luffy for his bounty so he could become warlord. Since Luffy narrowly escaped, he had to change the target and Ace provided with perfect opportunity later
It's worth pointing out how Luffy and Garp slept talking to each other.
It's as if the traits of their clan made them dream while interacting with each other. It's like it's cultural, and more than considering what is a legitimate dream or not, the idea is not to consider it as ilegitimate, but another form of dealing with strife (lack of food), whether it be literally or figuratively.
Whereas Luffy will "truly dream" by sleeping and being courageous, perhaps Teach wont sleep out of fear, thus "false dreaming" over what he wishes to have for himself in a much more self conscious way, unlike Luffy's perspective, Teach will deal over suffering by staying awake and focusing on himself and all of the cruel relations of our current world, rather on projecting a projected world where things can be imagined and constructed, which Luffy looks like he would be the kind of person to be.
We could say the will of the D represents humanity's chaotic drive which consists of an "out of control" factor, the very same factor which guides humanity, we may say the D clan is that part of humanity which can't be controlled, the oppressed people of the world who can't have things but will always strive for their share one day.
Blackbeard and Luffy both have the same dreams, same motivations but different approach and outlook.
They both want to be free, they both want to be pirate king, they both care about their own crew (Teach to an extent when he warns Burgess not to attack Ace because he won't win.).
But their approach is similar too but differs.
Luffy is straightforward, take down the strongest person there. If not, take down the second but through strength.
Blackbeard is deceptive. He takes down the strongest person there (Whitebeard) but through deceit and strategy.
one of my favorite moments in all of one piece
