John Paul

What? Let's fucking go, what a huge surprise. FlexieJay is the #1 reactor. You get a little taste of the new animation that is coming way down the line.

Yes thanks Flexie ❤️

Gilster

Funnest fact has gotta be that this was actually written before One Piece. 19 years old (Oda)

Maya Coleman

This is going to be my first time watching this with you flexie I am so excited 😊

BTImelesS

Oh perfect! I love this one shot!

Jordan

I love this episode. Ryuma is the goat

Little extra background on this story. "Monsters" was a one shot manga that Oda wrote for Shonen Jump in 1994. So this story is actually older than One Piece. Ryuma was probably at least partially the basis for Zoro's character. So the passing of the sword has that extra layer of significance.

Irvin Mugo

That's Oda for you. You never see the plot twist coming!

Emiliano

As a fun fact this story was made even before One Piece. Is part of a one shot call Monsters that Oda did. About the "King" thing. Yes, he was that king. He basically was the strongest swordsman of his time. What Zoro fought was a not even close in power to what real Ryuma was capable of when alive.

Flexie if you go back to the fight between zorro and ryuma the move that sets ryuma ablaze takes the form of the same dragon that he beheads.

Clarissa

Ooooh I hadn't seen that before 😍 this was so cool. I knew the basis of the story but so glad I got to watch it with you!

Irvin Mugo

I love that Ryuma said he would love to fight "The King," because he heard he has the heart of a warrior. Which is probably something he said to the first few people he saved, and so people started calling him "The King, the Swordsman with the heart of a warrior." But the guy at the end says, "though I doubt he's aware of it," meaning he doesn't know De King is referring to him. So he wants to fight this King guy because he's just like him....because he is him

Irvin Mugo

I suck at explaining lmao. I couldn't get that out at all 🤣🤣

WTFFFFF.... Yeah is that a new Zoro move btw? Thats insane...

I know someone has brought up Monsters, the one shot manga Oda wrote before One Piece, but there is a neat piece of trivia about the prototype(s) for Monster. Ryuma was originally created for a one-shot manga called Great Swordsmen: Samurai vs. Knight. While we don't know much about it compared to the finally version of Monsters, we do have some notes that Oda created Ryuma with a character called Kaede Rukawa in mind. He is a secondary character from a sport shonen called Slam Dunk, but he originated from its prototype work, Kaeda Purple, as its main protagonist. So, Oda wrote Ryuma to be the protagonist of the one-shot so that he could make him a secondary character is a future, more fleshed-out work. It is more likely than not that Ryuma was a prototype Zoro, which is really neat.

Yes you can see that Ryuma was a prototype for both Zoro and Luffy's designs and feel

Hiro

The subtitle says, “A true swordsman in mind and body.” Zoro meant that a swordsman can only unleash his full potential when both mind and body are united. Without both, he cannot fight at his full strength. Ryuma was not someone whose mind could be controlled by Moria.

Rosinante

It came out 2 or so years ago as an OVA. Oda actually created this before one piece even came out in the 90s

Joxx

Whoaaw ryuma episode! Very nice!

Lightwave

I love how Ryuma was such an amazing blueprint for anime character but Oda went.. "nop, not good enough, let's split him into Luffy and Zoro and let's make both of them even better Sometimes I feel like there is even a bit of Sanji in there.

Duris

This one is indeed incredible, I was totally not expecting this dropping here...

Song

The Ryuma that Zoro fought isn't even 50% of his real power, he is just has his body and sword, not his experiences and technique because it was Brook inside

DFrench125

Oda’s writing is so amazing… Ryuma de King is such a great character

Magvin

What a Treat.

Mr Dude

Technically speaking, it is an ONA, not an OVA. "Monsters" was released worldwide on streaming platforms on January 2024. Furthermore, it was not produced by TOEI.

Sindri

Also, if Ryuuma was actually alive there's no way Zoro would have won that fight as he is now. Ryuuma's zombie was inhabited by Brook's shadow and is therefor limited to Brook's techniques. They're quite amazing in their own right but they lack the destructive force Ryuma showcased in this OVA. Brook uses precision and speed to overwhelm his opponents before they know what even happened. It's very different from Zoro and Ryuuma who used similar styles.

Ancientswords

Never seen this one before, watching with you for the 1st time, super excited!

Naishiuan

absolutely EPIC!!!

Ceci

I have not watched this but knew it was related to one piece and WOW I'm with you flexie this is AMAZING!

Daniel Flores

Knowing about Zoro's family tree is not a spoiler. Eiichiro Oda revealed the entire lineage in the SBS Q&A section of Volume 105, completely outside the main story of the manga or anime.

CYMonin

One thing about this show - I absolutely love how they build up future arcs, while also keeping others more of a secret and as a surprise.

Rafael Torres

fun fact Ryuma is the known as the God of the Blade and the strongest swordsman to ever live, we´re lucky the zombie is limited to Brooks power otherwise Zoro wouldn´t stand a chance at this point in the story

Daniel Drew

Dang, I missed out on this OVA while watching OP!! :-O First watch for me! So cooool!!!! XD
