One Piece - 290/293

Comments

I love Chopper's monster form, too bad they damn well made him look stupid in the future.

Edgar Delibo Jr.

I dont want to say too much because more will get explained latter and fairly soon but do you remember when you used to review notes during skypia and your mods informed you that devil fruits were weapons of imagination? My interpretation is that each user can kind of bend reality a little bit so long as they can conceive it to be in their respective fruits abilities. Gear 2 and 3 are different applications of what rubber could do. Ironically, i think wopol is a great example of people kind of cheesing their fruits. Munch munch fruit allows users to eat anything AND turn into anything the eat ( IE canons, houses) because we are what we eat.

The chopper monster reveal is so damn epic! He chucked that guy like he was a pebble LMFAO i was speechless 😶 although i liked how as ridiculous as the guy seemed when he got serious it was believable

MARMAR

Ron its fiction, in no anime, show, or movie will the villain fight using full power from the beginning. They always show full strength and then underestimate their enemy and then finally fight foreal at the end. its dumb but not uncommon

Ace

Luffy is just using his imagination with the fact that hes rubber to create moves.

Adam

Devil Fruit abilities, especially the seemingly innocuous ones, rely heavily on creativity and compatibility with the user for effectiveness. I think you have seen that in how certain characters exploit even generally nonviolent abilities to devastating effect in the story so far. Luffy doesn't have to receive information on upgrading his ability. It comes straight from his imagination and willpower.

Talking about the humor of CP9, now I kinda get why they didn’t send all of CP9 to Water Seven lmao, the ones that were there worked together professionally and basically perfectly together, the one that didn’t go are the more dumb/clumsy ones

Sy-Ren Sal

Vivi was like a temporary member of the crew that’s why she had one in my opinion

TheRealN

bruh fr imagine they make an announcement saying there wil not be naruto this week lollll bro...

Amadou Sagna

Where the hell is Datte

JTsu

It's my second favourite arc and I'm caught up with the manga. 2 arcs ahead of this is my favourite one

Ryan Borthwick

I can't wait for you guys to get even further on. This arc is easily my favorite so far. A few more later will beat it, but I'd say top 6 or so for now.

LoneCourier21

Yo chopper got bodied 😭

Shaide

Although there will be enough times when shit gets serious, I would still try to embrace the random gags and goofiness of One Piece(otherwise some of the future arcs and fights may be tough to sit through), because it's something deeply rooted in it's storytelling. Oda basically created a gag battle shounen. And I personally prefer OP to other series since it doesn't take itself so seriously. Well, I trust that you'll eventually adjust some more the deeper you're in, even if you have other preferences due to the anime you've seen before.

Delinger

I think that one of the post-arc episodes will be enough to drive this higher up your all-time list (maybe it's still considered part of the end of the arc?). Looking forward to y'alls reaction to that one!

Mojito

Your take is understood and respected. You're also coming from watching alot of anime that take themselves very seriously and that's okay. One Piece is a series that has a great balance between comedy and tragedy.

Dandy Zoran

fun pun: shishi kebab, the move kumadori uses while stabbing with his flame pointed staff, shishi 獅子(しし) is another way to say lion in Japanese and you know what a shish-kebab is. same for shishi shigan.

Taka

Lucci’s happy cuz he wants that D hahah get it cuz Monkey D Luffy Ayo

Ron Jackson Jr

@Darren Yeah, I’m with Darren on this one. Just because I vibe more with One Piece doesn’t mean I’m about to start kissing up to it 😂. Naruto deserves its credit too, the author really nailed a lot, and it’s a solid series. Respect where it’s due! But also, I didn’t wander into this comment section to start a “which anime is best” debate. Let’s just avoid that because I couldn’t care less hahaha 😝. I’ll admit I’m super biased since One Piece was my first anime, and before I even gave other shows a shot, I’d already decided it’s the greatest. Maybe if I’d started with Naruto or Bleach, they could’ve hit me the same way, but who knows? At this point, it’s impossible to say because One Piece will always have that first spot for me, and I’m good with that ✌🏼

JustRojo

So sasuke is emo or did his entire family die while also having the killings get played over and over in his head by using a special Ability to traumatize him making him watch the death of his entire clan repeatedly that’s staring off into the horizon? Do I neeed to bring up more backstory to show how stupid and how haterish your comment is?

Darren Metts

Saying Naruto gets dark because of emo characters is corny and just shows how fragile of an ego you have when it comes to having one piece as your favorite

Darren Metts

Supposedly

Darren Metts

Crocodile is for sure luffys first real fight stop it

Darren Metts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnubMogrio8&t=29s Please watch this clip when it's time for Ron. It's three minutes long. It's an interview between Oda and Luffy. Here you can see why they created the character luffy. There are no spoilers

jiwon330

satori va is something else man lol

jiwon330

My opinion is thatnot all villains are smart and evil. Some may be dumb and some are just plain weird. So you will see all types of characters and personalities in One Piece which is what makes it interesting and enjoyable to watch.😆

Phyllis

Happy Birthday to Chopper!!!(24 Dec) 🩷🎂🎉 And a Merry X'mas to everybody!!!🎄☃️❄️🎁

Phyllis

Haha Satori still the most annoying one for me~

Phyllis

I completely forgot this is the first time we see Beserk Chopper lol. Can't wait for you guys to see more of our favourite deer!

Phoenix

You just explained what I wanted to explain. When One piece gets serious it will be more serious than Naruto and Bleach, because seriousness comes from dark topics, good written characters, you believe in their motivation, you believe in f up things that happened even in our world. But Naruto and Bleach gets dark because of Emo characters that stared in the horizon most of the time with epic music full of pathos, that’s why on the other hand, maybe not One piece fans will not understand it, but Naruto and Bleach feels more childish to me, despite it’s style. And One piece despite it’s style far more serious work, with better balance, more professional character writing, development, with more serious creativity work

garri_d

Bro you should understand One piece firstly is a comedy. Oda wanted to make the most goofy main character in the world which will be loved by everyone. You should understand One piece doesn’t have pathos in it like Naruto. And still serious characters in Naruto makes dumb decisions that’s why Naruto is so weak for me, but in One piece dumb things will be only around dumb characters. And when Oda wents dark it will be really dark, not like Naruto. When character is serious it will be really serious, when topic is sentimental it will be really sentimental. So I was worried just like you what if in serious moments we will encounter not serious mood in the series, but do not worry, everything will be very good. When show wents dark, it will be not the pathos that makes it dark like in Naruto, but the writing, f up things that happened even in our world, really good written evil characters that doesn’t have match in any other shows etc. so just don’t worry, and be glad with every comedy that we are getting right now, when things will get serious One piece will not be so funny anymore sadly, we are right now not getting the same level of comedy, things are too serious right now and there is no really time for that. Thanks for reaction!!!

garri_d

This is luffy first real fight imo and you will see why

ARC SLASH

Chopper "I'll become a monster for my friends sake!!!!" Chopper having his big moment to take down a CP9 MEMBER BY HIMSELF - Btw Chopper takes a more serious tone this arc such as when he fought along side Luffy Zoro Sanji against the Franky Family early this arc - You really have to watch the Morj video on this arc after y'all finish

ShaquanVirse

oh really? Actually, I didn't watch it. It must feel like it's cutting off

jiwon330

It is Indeed 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😉😉😉😉😉

Hussain Jeragh

yeah me too

Uchiha Itachi

You don't need to explain yourself this much, and I think you're right about certain aspects of the humor in this arc. Even if you say things I disagree it's still your opinion and we're here to listen to it. Merry Christmas!

Zoodinger

His new gear isn’t that different if you really think about it in terms of his usual moves. It’s just Luffy coming up with new attacks. We never questioned how he thought of his other moves from the start. For example, how did he figure out to turn himself into a balloon to deflect cannons, or how did he come up with the Gum-Gum Rifle, where he twists his arm and launches an attack? It’s essentially the same process, Luffy just thinks of something, imagines how it would work in his head, and tries it. If it works, it works, and that’s all there is to it.

JustRojo

The remastered version is not all that great, love the new animation but the sudden cuts really are shit and not smooth

JustRojo

Ron the best explanation I can give you about the gears without it being any spoilers is that you got to think what Luffy is made out of he's made out of rubber so with rubber with his imagination you could think of different things you could probably try to be able to do with rubber to change it like kind of the properties of it while still being rubber so Luffy decided to do certain things and he ended up naming those things different gears based on different you know style so you got to think like what are they made out of like how can they use certain things to their advantage etc etc

Patrone07

Fortunately, Fishman Island has been remastered, so some pacing issues have been fixed. Personally, I hope all the upcoming arcs will be remastered T.T

jiwon330

I liked Chapapa, but Yo-Yoi was really annoyed lol fuck yoyoi

jiwon330

Yes, Oda used to hate that shows were always dark

jiwon330

and madara too I can't imagine Madara joking lol

jiwon330

I completely understand Ron’s perspective. Having watched various anime with different writing styles and tones, I’ve had similar experiences. For instance, I loved both Bleach and Naruto, but I leaned slightly more toward Bleach because I personally enjoyed the story more. Both series kept me hyped during their intense fights, but my first exposure to anime was One Piece. That shaped my expectations for anime battles early on, and I think the first of the “Big 3” you watch often becomes your benchmark for the others. Looking back at all three, One Piece stands out as my undisputed favorite, not because it’s perfect (believe me, the pacing can be painfully slow), but because of its balance. Oda mixes humor into serious arcs, creating moments that are uniquely memorable. Even the characters I found annoying felt intentional, adding to the charm. When One Piece delivers those big emotional or action-packed moments, it delivers HARD. The humor helps bridge the gaps between the serious, high-stakes scenes, and when the payoff comes, it feels earned. The terrible pacing? Forgiven. The humor in inappropriate moments? Overlooked. That’s what makes One Piece so special to me. I think this approach is why I have a stronger connection to its story and characters than with Bleach or Naruto. Despite Toei’s trademark pacing issues (looking at you, Dragon Ball Z), I was lucky enough to binge most of One Piece. That way, the slow pacing never really got to me. All in all, the show’s charm, humor, and unforgettable moments make it a standout show for me! 🤙🏼 the best is still yet to come so enjoy the ride you guys !! 💃🏽

JustRojo

You are absolutely right on your take Ron. The way you said it tho, seems like you think most of us think otherwise lol Don't worry tho, the comedy isn't always this excessive, and there's a lot more to come

Usher

His brain might be in his ass on his case, so I can't blame you😂

Usher

Chopper throwing that annoying mf had to be one of the most disrespectful moments in this arc

Usher

The fun is just starting lmao

Usher

Ngl, the yo-yoi guy took way too much screen time mumbling whatever tf he said. He deserved the moster treatment

Usher

The chopper transformation is 1 of my favorite moments in One Piece. It’s giving me Gon vibes

GentleCrank

They say that a single chopstick vertically cut in half would still be wider than a female's waist in one piece

Usher

I don’t want to spoil you but just remember that you are still in the beginning of One Piece, there are so many other villains you have yet to meet. Some you may like better than others. As for the humor, you have to understand that it’s a huge charm to One Piece that i personally really love. It’s not like your typical battle shonen that takes itself very seriously all the time, this anime is a lot more “quirky” for the most part. So it seems a little far-fetched to compare some of the villains (especially CP9) to the Akatsuki considering the differences between the shows and what they value in character writing. Though that’s not to say that OP doesn’t get ever get serious. The great thing about this aspect of OP is that when it DOES get serious it hits different like no other, trust me.. it gets you LOCKED IN. Just know, there’s so much you have yet to see. 😉

Bunie

If you are giving it a 9.6 now just wait until the next few episodes 😂😂😂😂😂

Hussain Jeragh

The gears will be explain with time. But if you think Luffy uses his body in diferent ways, using his rubber powers, he is creative. Regarding the humor stuff, thats how One Piece is, but you will meet really strong characters that are really cold and serious too. This arc has maybe one of the best fights in One Piece and anime in general for me.

Rui Duarte

Naruto is much more serious in tone as a series. One Piece wouldn't be One Piece without the comedy aspect. Without the comedy, One Piece would just be another anime.

Scumdog of the WWE Universe

@Karaka He’s just giving his opinion—not giving anything away 🤷🏽

Michael H

@jiwon330 Agreed. One Piece is my goat, but the Akatsuki stomp CP9 on all levels. You’d have to make a group of main villains from One Piece to compare to the Akatsuki because the underlings of One Piece are almost always goofballs of some sort.

Michael H

I'm the exact same way with my small dog lmao. He's a chiweenie tho so he loves the attention

Waver

personally when i first saw this transformation from chopper, i cried a lot, not only cause i find the form kinda unsettling, but also because it hurts him so much to be in that form, he has no control and could hurts friends inadvertently by using it, has hurt people with it in the past, etc. Chopper is just one of my favorite characters in this show and seeing him hurt or suffering at all is just soul crushing to me 😭

Jordanxo

33:37 Chopper tossing Yoyoi across the map is crazy

Goon

I almost thought this was a quadruple drop 😭😭😂😂 my bad I guess they just skip some filler

EnzoTorales

not when he can't even control it, if lucci was in the same room as monster point chopper I guarantee he would kill him.

SamRambo

oh my godness! when ginger said "ooh yees" to the bath scene XD

Magnus Debesarson

your are right on Akatsuki,for me Akatsuki is the best villain team of all Anime.They are cool,scary,powerfull and the backstory also no joke.btw Happy Holiday

Uchiha Itachi

Those Gears are a huge indicator on how high Luffys Battle IQ is, he was able to come up with a faster and stronger way to use his Devil Fruit in a short amount of time

Karaka

I guess I don’t know how they’d feel about it but it would definitely put me off if someone told me “yeah these villains aren’t good, there’s better ones later” while watching the arc with those “not so good” villains

Karaka

Lol it's hilarious that you think Luffy that stupid

ShaquanVirse

Did I give them spoilers ?no I didn't even say Villain's name

jiwon330

Your last sentence wasn’t necessary. Let them watch and find out for themselves

Karaka

You'll see as you go along.

Dandy Zoran

You about to witness one of the greatest and longest fights in the series! Top 3 in my picks!

ScavengerRPG

When chopper was the strongest

Fernando

Ngl luffy pulled gears outta his ass

Fernando

nah i agree ron

Arz.09

Me realizing that Ron doesn't realize that Vivi is technically a crew member lol

ShaquanVirse

Luffy vs Lucci... here we go.

Ryan Borthwick

Although cp9 and Akatsuki feel similar, comparing this feels disrespectful to Naruto fan lol But there are many other cool villains in One Piece

jiwon330

Happy Birthday Chopper 🎄

Yaz

nah Ron your take is not crazy

Amare D.

Merry Christmas eve everyone

Wingsxofxfreedom

lest goooo

Monkey .D.

Fuck yeah fire eps 🔥 There's still a peak left. This arc will make you fall in love with one piece And what Ron was saying was that most One Piece fans were a little disappointed. You might have thought that Akatsuki in Naruto and the cp9 in One Piece were honestly similar, but after they turned into animals, I think the coolness of One Piece has dropped a bit. But there are a lot of villains in One Piece that are much more attractive and cool than cp9 after this and Lastly, Merry Christmas

jiwon330

RAAAAHHH!!
