Bon-Chan! Oh come my waaay!

vivi rly didn’t add nothing to the crew, but was still loved 😭

Mike Adrian Estolas

Can't wait for your opening theme song reaction especially One Piece Opening 1 - "We Are", played at the last part of ep 129 and One Piece Ending 1 - "Memories" played at the first part of ep 130. They're the most nostalgic music on this masterpiece.

Tyler Ward

Perfect ending to an arc

Anthony Jernigan

The jaw drop u both had when she said she can’t join had me I felt the same way

Geno Montez

No Ron you’re 100 percent correct about Vivi. She made the right decision to stay, she is much more useful as the Princess of Alabasta than she would’ve been as a Straw Hat. With that being said she’s still kind of an honorary crew member lol

Anthony Jernigan

And I know Ron was gonna be like I got get that tattooed lol

PG Modehouse

Okay now you're good to watch the 3rd opening! Nico Robin's dream of finding the Rio Poneglyph serves to REALLY open up this worldbuilding even further by introducing the Missing History of the world which is part of the larger mystery of the series. Basically when Robin starts talking archaeology, keep those eyes and ears open. It's about to get SO FUCKIN EPIC.

No Remorse

Insert vivi anger! Nah at most Vivi was a diplomat for the straw hats and as pirates.. don't really need one of those lol Also the people at the beginning of the second episode were mostly the filler story characters.

Brandisimo

I feel Vivi’s best trait was leadership but they already have Luffy so that wouldn’t work. But you guys will love Robin she’s such a great and important addition to the crew. As for the Pell thing… I just pretend he died and didn’t come back lol

KevUrb

Bellamere died 🤷‍♂️ lol… Also Robin is my personal favorite straw hat… her back story is my personal favorite and it’s the reason i stopped just “enjoying one piece” and it became one of the greatest shows of all time for me.

Thunter

A lot of the people you guys didn’t recognize were from filler episodes Also, my main problem with early One Piece besides the pacing is that nobody dies. But don’t worry! That’s something that does change as the story matured and stuff

Mu Nanyo

Ron spittin, Karoo more valuable than Vivi. She is still nakama but she doesnt have a role. Except for maybe diplomat. Pell - Oda is straight up addicted to fakeout deaths. The bag I think is just the little girls.

lbmase

Rons comment at 42:52!!!

A1stWorldProblm

A lot of people dislike the fake out deaths, Pel being the biggest culprit.

Jon Clarke

Sure, pirates don't need that. Remember the start of Drum Island?

No Remorse

Oh I'm not saying she didn't have a purpose. She definitely taught some good lessons, but her future was limited

dj

People definitely die. It just takes a while to get there. Don’t want to elaborate for obvious reasons.

VBP87

the girl with the bag was from the filler so dont think to much about her....finaly nico robin is here i love her :D and nobody knows why the hawk guy survied he should be dead...then is comes to backstories it feels like everbody dies and outside nobody :D (yes i know its not evertime) and big salute to bon clay THE gigachad :D

Crimel Dokja

Hey! So basically, Oda doesn't like killing characters unless it develops the story in a big way (atleast in early one piece) so he decided to let Pelle live lol. Also, the characters you guys saw were characters from the fillers.

Centt

The beginning of the great Bon chan

tris273

Omg i love it you made it through Alabasta now🫱🏼‍🫲🏾. That Pell didnt die for me was the dumbbest plottwist in whole one piece for me😆. Oda once said: "If someone dies, you cant have an enjoyable party." Since Pell wasnt there for the last party with the straw hats i think oda might have a bigger plot for Pell still. BUT - Deaths accure don't get confused by that. I mean last time Bellmere was shot in front of her kids🫠 so dont think your too safe from deaths. Now we have Nico Robin what induces the whole theme of Archaeology in the One Piece world. It's as Ron said, for the Strawhats - Karoo would a better plus than Vivi. Vivi is a Princess of the Nefeltari Family so shes avout to become Queen one day since she hasnt any sisters or brothers shown in her backstory, she is the one and only hope for the country. The King's family's are a big lorepart(such as the archeological part) and they make up BIG influence over events in the world. They're like the Royal Family's in Game of Thrones. 131-143 is Filler. 144 Next Canon starts. Can't wait for next Arc♥️

DuLee

Vivi would make a good diplomat, but I don’t think they really need her with them at this moment in the story.

kman

i knew pell will distract them from talking about nico

tris273

Kuina, Bellmere and Dr. Hiriluk sadly sitting in the corner💀

Isaac Sato

The bag thing is non-canon. It's just like a goodbye to all the characters from the fillers that you guys skipped

Galaxy Nemesis

Welcome best girl Nico Robin to the crew! Also yeah Oda doesnt like to kill people but when he does you will wish he didnt.

Mike Adrian Estolas

Also, I know you skip fillers, ep 131-143 are fillers, but at least you should've read the summary just a bit.

Isaac Sato

Also, 131 is filler, but it's a pretty good one that's pretty well-liked, so it might be worth a watch if you guys don't mind doing a triple or whatever to not slow down progress on canon episodes. The rest of the fillers up to 144 aren't worth it, though.

aidan decristofaro

that random character is filler btw that bag means nothing

지원

I love vivi

Espar

Man you should've taken that bet🤣

Mario Prime Plays

RIP Bon Clay. Was only a friend for a short while, but he was the GOAT. Oh Come My Way!

Michael H

You’re dead-on, Ron. Really fucking blunt, but dead-on. Every crew member has a dream and a purpose.

Goon

Get that Bon-chan tattoo, Ron. You wont regret it.

Saith D. Uchiha

Vivi will always be a straw hat by heart.

ant g

Lmao no one likes that Pell lived. Not much to explain, it’s bullshit but he’s whatever🤷🏽‍♂️

just some random car guy

Now let’s introduce you to our new straw hat member NICO ROBIN also known as one of the smartest characters in the series and hottest 👀

tris273

Oh well said

PumpDaddyD

I TOLD YOU! THEE GOAT!!

edgard

People are just built differently in this world

Michael H

You just gotta go with it guys. It’s the most frustrating part of Oda’s writing. He likes the emotion that comes with characters dying, but he hates actually killing them. So he just fakes it. A lot.

ScavengerRPG

There are fillers eps 131-143! But I do recommend starting 144, but it's up to yall! But I'm sure everyone agrees that Pell should of been dead! Its just an annoying way of Oda's writing of not entirely killing characters off "one point in time" when it matters, but yea! And besides, the writing couldn't even be predicted by Oda himself, he didn't really seem himself carrying this story for a long haul stretch! Like there were times, he wanted to end it at a certain saga or part!

Michael H

Oh, just to give you an idea of how spoilery episode titles can be, the title of this last episode is literally “The Seventh Member is Nico Robin” lol

Espar

The bag thing that you're confused about is from a filler. Don't worry about it.

Evelio Solache

Viví is what the OP community calls and honorary strawhat, someone who didn’t officially join but spent time with the crew to have felt like a part of it

Goon

Dw nobody liked that Pell fake-out but there is major character deaths (so be careful w/ spoilers) in the show but its not common like some JJK type shit where half the roster gets taken out in 2 episodes. Lol

Amiguresu

Nico Robin~☺️

Arz.09

100%

PumpDaddyD

Honestly I forgot who that girl was xD iguess I neeed refreshers.

PumpDaddyD

And Robin has that charm to her 😅😍

gante_mist66

Robin finally joiiiins !! 👐🏽🌸

LoneCourier21

Pell only survived because of his Zoan type devil fruit. Zoans improve all around through physical conditioning and combat. His position and training requirements helped him grow. Carniverous Zoans are stronger than Herbivores in general. Pell being one of the best predators the Hawk is a huge find for a Zoan compared to many others.

Blu3

Robin my girl ♥️ If only they knew…

Andre W

I’m so glad she didn’t join. She would’ve died. She can’t do anything for the crew. She’s a princess…

ChocoBoshi

I get what you mean about Vivi not having a "use" on the crew like the other members do, but you may have forgotten about some of what we know about her. Vivi is a pretty reliable friend, she survived in the baroque works organization for 2 years (at the age of 14) and even made it up to the 9th spot in the org which makes her pretty capable. (Strength in the org also increases the lower your number is, and we see her fight Mr 7 and Miss Father's Day to get to the bomb and they don't stand a chance against her, and this is after Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas nearly Kill Usopp) You are still early on in the series so its totally fine for you not to have all the inner workings figured out yet but "use" (the word Luffy got angry at Arlong for using in relation to Nami's skills) just isn't a determining factor in someone's position on the crew and her becoming a burden wouldn't be a mark against her either. I think you understand this subconsciously but it is also good to have the conscious realization that true friends aren't people who you keep around because of their utility to you, nor are they people who you would cast aside because of their flaws. Luffy and crocodile hash this out in their fight, Crocodile doesn't have any friends, only tools, so he couldn't understand why Luffy wouldn't just cast Vivi aside because of her baggage (her kingdom being at war). As we know, Luffy would never do that to a friend, he would rather die fighting for them than live having discarded and abandoned them and their dreams. When it comes to Pell, I can totally understand how him not dying would upset people, I've just learned to accept it. Some people say that Oda loves fake out deaths but I think Oda just hates killing characters, small difference I know but I think it matters. When it comes to these fake deaths I think the important thing is that the characters involved all thought that they were going to die when they made their decision to act. There are other shows where people make a decision that should kill them but it works out and they live, I think this is far worse than the reverse that we have here, Pell made the decision to die to save everyone and he lived instead. The reason I think it works a bit better is because Pell is making a smart decision and is rewarded by still being alive where as in the opposite case someone makes a poor decision and is rewarded. Either way, take it however you will, I think this is the worst example in the series so at least in comparison any future cases wont be as bad, and the real deaths will hit that much harder because of how rare they are.

Can't wait for the next saga, it's one of my favorites! You guys can just skip to episode 144 since the fillers aren't that interesting

Ygjez

ROBIN CHAAAN

pink turtle

The bag and all the characters you didn't recognize were from the fillers you guys skipped 😬, no need to dwell on them

vaughn

my fav episodes in one piece are the ones right after a big arc, always contain huge worldbuilding.

LoneCourier21

If you want an in universe explanation. Outside it was something about 9/11 so the rumour goes.

Rene Salgado

Pell surving was bs honestly, but don't let that fool you. There are dangers in the future and extremely sad moments, you'll see. We are skipping the upcoming fillers right? Before someone starts, no they don't add anything to the character because it never happened. =/

The CulturedGentleman

2 things. Oda still gets dragged for his poor writing in this arc, not killing Pell as hes supposed to be dead. He hates killing characters and that is my only issue with One Piece. Next, Robin is HEREEE!!! I am Pumped! Were finally getting there guys!!

David Barron

So many thoughts: 1. The bag scene was just a montage of a bunch of characters the crew met as a farewell to Alabasta, y'all just don't recognize the ones you skipped cus they were in fillers (*some* of it is very good IMO so it's a shame we skip them all). 2. This anime is riddled with fake deaths, you get used to it. 3. The crew member swap for Nico Robin in exchange for Vivi is an absolute steal, but be prepared for her to be a very slow burn. 4. And finally... I love that Bon Clay being a friggin GOAT was never clapped down in the comments, even from day one, despite it being IMO very much a spoiler. Oh and for like the 5000th time, avoid the opening and end credits like the plague because they basically JUICED those things with spoilers with the introduction of Nico Robin as a crew member.

Whoopsie

As soon as I saw the send off for Vivi I instantly bought a shirt of it but also a tattoo would be amazing! As for the pell thing you can thank Oda for the The Dark Knight rises ending jk there is no saving Pell that mfer should have died 💀

Usher

Robin>>>Vivi. And that's just from these episodes alone

Usher

Yeah well the bag is filler. They really sneak this shit in the amazing ending we got for alabasta😂

Usher

The first opening and ending playing in these episodes hit so much more now😭

Kee

Robin my favorite. Enough said.

Joemar Villalon

Yea Ron it is just like the Batman thing haha

Feignorance

Ingram and Pell should have died. 🤦‍♂️ The bag is full of filler. Irrelevant.

CasaNoah

enter; the best straw hat

Usher

33:25 Michelle showing her true colors🤣

Vjong Trias

Fun facts: The reason Pell didn’t die was because this chapter came out around 9/11 and Oda’s editor thought it would be distasteful for something for someone to die from an explosion in the sky near this time. So now he’s alive!

DaSaVaGeKiNg12

I remember seeing something that said the reason Pell survived is cause 9/11 had happened recently and oda decided to keep him from dying to the bomb

Wsgyan

Waiting for them to hear luffy sing lmao

BashaM

Robin!! Yeah!!

Havid Azlan

about pell .. i dont like it too but perhaps it makes be believe oda is just human that also make mistakes

Michael DeArmas

The idea that Oda let Pell live because it happened near 9/11 is a completely made up fan theory that came from a reddit post. If you google Pell 911 you'll find it.

Centt

nobody dies...we shall wait

Gjermund Norum Bugge

In the cover pages in the manga we learn about how Django and fullbody enda up becoming marines. You guys should go back and look at the cover pages later, because there is definitely some fun stuff there that tells you more about the story and the world 😊

Durulfen

Bon Clay… o7

Gjermund Norum Bugge

No one likes that Oda does not kill off pell. This is the most common critique from fans of the story, is that Oda struggles to kill off characters. You will learn that he also does kill off characters when it is crucial to move the plot forward however 😅

Katrina Dy

I think the crew's friendship with Vivi really made it seem like she'd stay, but I also agreed with ya'll when I was watching for the first time in that she is really needed in her country, and more importantly, she loves it and wants to improve it. And, in the crew, ya everyone's had a literal 'role' including robin now with the "archaeologist" whether she's trustworthy or not.

Majoz

people diies, but just dont mid the pell situation, only thing i hates abt this episdoe is that i had to see him again, shouldve been dead, but entire if the shot is good tho

Mister_Mo

the "random" persons in the desert were from the filler episodes, that you skipped.

Boah

One of the flaws with this show is the fake out deaths however characters will die and stay dead.

Yuë SUZU

I don't know if somebody explained this wordplay to you so just in case... Bon-chan does this wordplay all the time with okama (a japanease word which means mostly gay and/or transgender person) and Come my way. So he's switching between "Oh Come my way" and the "Okama way". Small detail but I found that fun so i'm sharing^^. Great reaction as always 👍!

Surya

Pell is not even close to the biggest culprit, there are characters in one piece that survive after oda writes in literally 20 plus death flags for them lmao... Pell only had a couple, being the guardian of alabasta and carrying the bomb.

Surya

lmao i remember forums filled with power scalers calculating the diving speed of a human sized hawk when it was revealed Pell survived... but even then i believe it wasnt fast enough to outfly that huge explosion (what was it? something like 5 km in diameter?)

Surya

definitely not the worst example in the series... not even close lmao. Its the worst part of odas writing that doesnt get criticized nearly enough, its common sense that if you keep writing fake out deaths you rob any kind of emotional investment from your audience whenever anyone is close to dying. Its like, eh, look at all these other jobbers that survived worse, why would this character die? And this flaw in odas writing 100 percent destroys a lot of the tension in certain arcs, just the truth

LoneCourier21

Yeah speed and stuff is relative. Just because pells fruit is a bird doesn't mean his speed is stuck equal to that bird. His own speed adds to it and the 2 multiply. Zoan types work like Saiyans from dragonball. Physical effort is the only way to improve. But it does improve every aspect all together.

SomeoneElse

Zoan type devil fruit users are incredibly durable but yeah early on in the series Oda does not like keeping people dead. He will never confirm someone's death and bring them back later, but he will often have characters survive stuff that they probably shouldn't. Very much enjoyed these reactions. Robin is great, and I'm glad the Vivi goodbye hit you guys in the feels. That moment is iconic for OP fans.

Usher

Yeah that was my cope. Also I feel like Oda was trying to prepare us to doubt everything we see

Travis McKinlay

This anime will make you cry more than any other. There are so many beautiful moments that you're thinking "why am I crying right now, this is just a show, and an anime at that" but it hits you in the feels so hard that its earned its fanbase for over 1000 episodes. Love your reactions!

Cath

Nico Robin!! 💓

Usher

I thought "oh come my way" was just a way to censor it in the dub..?

Yuë SUZU

I only watched the french fansub (so not the crunchyroll version) and it translate both sentences. But maybe you're right, sometimes fansub is more accurate (because no censorship) and sometimes just not 😅 (Bad translation).

brobed1

zoan-type of thing won't be explained for couple hundred episodes.

Mr.popiah

One Piece day :) Thank you so much!

Sauceless

Mellorie! Mellorie!! Mellorie!!! This Mf Pell spent all he’s points on defense lol.

chopchop

As yes Pell the immortal

pato

That thing about pell, most of the one piece community prefer to think that those scenes never happen, so we can be happy 😭😭 (at least me)

Michael H

Totally agree. It gives at least a little extra time to the crew becoming accustomed to Robin.

Michael H

@Surya I’m sure you’re right, and I’m just blanking, but I can’t remember any being quite as egregious as Pell. He always struck me as the poster child for the Oda bullshittery.

Miles Coleman

Vivi will forever be a straw hat in my book

Emmanuel Cordial

Great Reaction as usual, felt that emotion from both of you, been following this since Live Action. Some of your question better just leave it reserved for now. It is just how Oda works. Luffy's Durability, Vivi being not being able to contribute and etc will all makes sense after 1000 and so episodes. Just sit in and relax more fun and heartfelt scenes are soon to come in the coming arcs.

JustRojo

Remember that other than water, sea prism stone like the cage where crocodile trapped luffy and the others, they mentioned navy cells are equipped with them, so they can capture crocodile that way pretty easy, and smokers’ stick(jutte) is also made out of sea prison stone so he could seize crocodile

Ace Sui

Oh people will die soon enough prepare to ball yall eyes out

Phyllis

When Bon Clay said 'Oh come my way!' in Japanese you actually hear 'Okama way!' Okama is Japanese slang for a gay man, a homosexual person or drag queen.

Phyllis

Nah Ron, even if Vivi is a burden if Luffy says she joins, she joins, will be part of the crew and he does not care about such things. The spot is open for her to join any time.

Zeno

yeah Pell should've stayed dead, his supposed death scene was really well done

Phyllis

Oh man~ You guys would definitely take back your words that "Nobody dies".

Mo_Malo

this is the beginning of the one piece history

tris273

Really curious why they censored this in nearly every dub. Like its only a thing in japanese anyway.

KevUrb

Lol or had rerise materia equipped, iykyk

DY

fullbody was already a marine, he just went sooo down in the ranks that he now serves under Hina

DY

please skip 131-143 since they are fillers and have nothing important nada

Michael H

Yeah, that was unfortunate. Can’t really blame them because of how incredibly stupid the Pell thing is, but it was a bummer that they didn’t say much about her or the real history she’s looking for.

PG Modehouse

Igaram surviving is WAY more plausible and deliberately serves to help Nico Robin's case because she pulls him off the boat.

PG Modehouse

"they don't add anything because they never happened" the existence of Anime Canon proves you wrong by definition.

Juanfer Chox

Bro sht up dont spoiled then

Ace Sui

did i say any name?

Enzo Torales

One piece is so beautiful man the best history ever told.

Enzo Torales

Pell is a user of a zoan type fruit that is know to make the users unbelievable resistance to damage

Enzo Torales

“Nobody dies in this show” I never wanted a phrase to be true so bad in ma life

tonniiee

Oh trust me people die in this show and whoever it is you will be shedding tears

Francis Peñano

for the ending of episode 29 your talking about a cool tattoo some people actually has a tattoo of the manga panel of all of them raising their arms up

Phyllis

Not sure the reason. But the translation into what seems like a pun is still funny.

Heero Marks

Don't over think Pell hahahaha

Kee

ty, I like yours as well !

Parmvir Dhugha

So Pell was supposed to die. But they changed it cuz the manga was written shortly after the 9/11 attack and Oda felt with the bomb and everything that it was too insensitive to make it so violent. I remember at the time I hated that he survived too, and it took a little time but One Piece isn’t afraid to take risks of death anymore.

ali8cia9

Yeah, it was a byproduct of the times and when things in the real world feel dreadful, having some good come from it helps

Chase023

I really like your reactions but I was here only for hunter and one piece. But man twice a week is so slow.. damn..lol

Çlôud

im glad you guys werent spoiled on robin joining the crew because in the intro you see robin clearly with the crew

Jin

hahaha your reactions to the girl and the bag. She was from the filler episodes of the Alabasta arc

Ragged

One of the things I don't like about this arc and what I consider to be the most annoying one is that Pell is still alive. He should have died heroically and there is no freaking way he survived that blast. It actually ticked me off that he was still alive, it just made his sacrifice seem to nonchalant and inconsequential.

Amare D.

what if Pell is just like that, he can tank a nuke like a beast lol idk

Darren Metts

No one dies 👀 👀👀👀👀

Renegade Raven

An alternative tattoo idea would be the word Nakama (Friend) But replace the K with that X
