Congratulations Carter

Jx1p

Omg they are about to see the thing that happens very soon (iykyk) and I’ve been waiting ~390 episodes to see their reactions to it… it is about to become peak piece until the time skip

d4bad

This arc is my top 2 one piece anime arc of all time you guys are gonna love it

fay

AHHH its gonna take off from here!! can't wait for thursdays episodes!!

fay

the groves numbers r like me and my friends having to take a selfie where we park the car so we can find it again LOL

Jude

Congrats Carter!

Hegataro

I think when I saw these episodes for the first time some 15 years ago, I instantly adopted Brook's dramatic "excuse me" before farting and/or burping Because, you know, it's foony

Dreamknight942

Boys are looking clean! Hope your eye gets better soon Carter. Also the tonal shift in the show after this is crazy.

Lorenzo

No way cannon edged me abt seeing law in the livestream today, cant wait till thursday

Marcus D

The boys aren’t ready for this arc

cozo

if u guys thought this was a good batch just wait 😭 this is still important to the arc tbf but im impatient for the peak

Marcus D

So now that you’ve seen the archipelago let’s explain the name. Shabondi as said in Japanese or Sabaody in the Roman alphabet, the Shabon/Sabao part means ‘soap’ in the respective languages and then we have ‘dy’ added to it. So the name this place is called pretty much translates as the ‘Soapy Archipelago’, referencing the soapy like resin the island emits to make the bubbles. Pretty fitting and cool huh?😅🔥

beckett9898

Not following, One piece consumes my life

Spidey

Frrrr Bro I was geeking when he mentioned law

Marcus D

They seem to always watch the weeks’ batch of episodes in one go and just split it up into two uploads.

Marcus D

Yeah and when the fish flakes are put on hot food the heat makes them move around as if they are alive, it’s pretty cool

Dasha

Damn these flew by so fast

Dasha

McKay is officially my favorite one piece reactor now, thank you for being so attentive and curious

Shaun V

The Plot Thickens. We just get more and more insane lore this arc

Dasha

are we meeting my babies next drop 😭😭❤️❤️❤️

kuza

so excited for more

JevCor

He genuinely loves it trust.

Marcus D

Man I love this arc, I can wait for the ‘ray’ of light to ‘lead’ us to our goals.😏

Dasha

Yes I can see it in his reactions and I love it sm

Marcus D

Sabao is soap in Portuguese btw.

kuza

the wait each week is gonna be so painful

SavDog23

Arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago marks the end of the Prologue of One Piece. Now the story truly begins.

Marcus D

All of the lore in these two episodes are very important and relevant for the remainder of the whole series, make sure you remember it. To be honest though everything oda writes is intentional and meaningful so it’s best to always be locked in to the dialogue

Dasha

wtf I was searching for the episode where my goat 🥈 is revealed just to know how soon geks will meet him, and google said episode 8? 😅 looks like I need to rewatch early one piece one more time

Chrisiyyi

Peak few arcs, when is one piece week?

Marcus D

Dark stuff aside for a moment, I like how fleshed out oda made the archipelago to be with all of the bubble mechanics, island infrastructure and the way of life there. Makes it feel alive and a place I’d like to live in if it wasn’t for some of the things that’s allowed to happen there.

Marcus D

Ohara was also awesome too yeah

InitialD

It’s finally here!!!

Ftn

Fun fact in real life : Indonesia has banned the StrawHat flag because the citizens who protest against the goverment use the flag in their houses and during the protests.you can even see them using the flag when they entered into the house of a billionaire. They also use the Whitebeard flag in their houses.

DaniP

Videos coming out too slow smh

Nope

Hearing the discussion about zoro at the end reminded me of a wild theory I've heard before that said that zoro doesn't get lost he just has an internal log pose to the One Piece so unconsciously he's always going towards it lmao.

DAI

wheres takopi

wanira 11

Oda has a real talent for juxtaposition, it's always the most whimsical beautiful looking places that have the grimmiest, darkest undertones

Cade

guess im not sleeping yet... JUICE TIME

relyct

The Glory and One Piece were my fav things to look forward to each week. I'm sad that one is already over, but also glad that we're now on one of my fav islands. It just feels like Oda has put extra thought into everything here, and we learn a bit of lore about the world . I'm glad you enjoyed/enjoying both series! Also for your last discussion, the hierarchy in this world looks sth like this right now: 1. Five Elder (Stars) (Gorosei) 2. Celestial Dragons/World Nobles (descendants of the 20 Kings who established the World Government) --> both of these groups live in Mary Geoise on the Red Line 3. Fleet Admiral (Sengoku) in Navy HQ 4. Three Admirals (Aokiji, Akainu & Kizaru) in Navy HQ 5. Vice Admirals (ex. Garp) 6. Rear Admirals (ex. Hina from Alabasta) 7. Commodores 8. Captains (ex. Smoker) etc. 9. The rest of the world's population 10. Slaves

InitialD

This arc is in my top 3 One piece arcs i'm so hyped for yall to watch more

Plot Thickens and more themes

Nanami's Wife

With how far you guys are into the show, I'm glad you can tell that One Piece has a few major themes in the story and the main one is how oppressive the world government is. Skypeia was about colonialism and displacement, Alabasta was about rebelling against Tyrants who occupied their land, Drum Island being about universal healthcare, Ohara (Robin's homeland) being a genocide, the world government being corrupt (and the navy following them) and world nobles who think as themselves above humans, and now we're going into more topics like human trafficking and slavery. One Piece is political and was intended to be political by Oda and it's my favorite thing about the show. A comparison I just thought of is Attack on Titan. AOT tells a story of oppression and war, while never really drawing a conclusion on what needs to be done. Whereas One Piece has a clear and effective route of what actions need to be done. That's one of the reasons I have One Piece above AOT as my number one. Love both tho with all my heart ❤️🥺 I can't wait for you guys to get more into this arc!!!!!!! One of my faves

Kayanolive

Oh shit is this where peak happens?

Hegataro

I've also read a theory before that the cursed sword he got at Logue Town didn't make him lose his sense of direction, it just leads him to his death and he's just too strong

Nic ☦︎

Here we go yall buckle up for absolute ✋😐🤚

Ukaede

So Carter is an Uchiha ? I fucking knew it !!!

wanira 11

Great comment, agree 100% :)

Pace

What both AOT and One Piece do well is they communicate clearly how complex good and evil labels can be and how ordinary people get caught up inbetween no matter the sides. And displays good & evil in all categories. Both do it extremely well. With One piece it’s a bigger world with a lot more layers unpacking the complexities so it may take time to see all those moving plot points fall into place but as soon as they do it’s so grand and masterful and always has the most insane ripple effect - like everything in the world despite its huge size with so many characters and plot points- all of it ties in so perfectly - Oda is insane for pulling that off

Dounia

Guys I was rewatching the openings recently and I was chocked to see Dragon in the first ever opening of the anime !! Don’t know if they added him later or not but if not it’s an insane foreshadowing !!! Now let’s get into this amazing arc 🤭

Mahti

Didn't expect people to rate this arc so high, top 5 or 6 for me but probably 7th after the ongoing one is finished.

Nanami's Wife

Yes! I totally agree!! They both do so well showing both sides. And what pains me is that Eren's dream is Luffy's reality. They’re two sides of the same coin 🥀 Eren is what freedom looks like when the world denies it. Luffy is what it becomes when the world can't touch it. Eren wants freedom but Luffy is freedom. Makes me cry knowing Luffy would've saved Eren, no doubt❤️🥺🥺🥺

Pace

One thing tho, we shouldn’t claim oda intended one piece to be political in the sense that it’s a 1:1 allegory of how u should see the politics or how u should think. The themes are universal and designed to be relatable and inspiring and are echoed and inspired by history as with every story. So it shouldn’t be taken as a political statement it otherwise that would be dividing an audience. Like with attack on titan, theirs politics in that too, but with inspiration from world events and history etc but not a political statement u know

Pace

Yea that’s so true when you frame it like that, luffy really is the embodiment of freedom and carries that unifying rythym. He’s always in the present moment and has that infectious ability to turn anyone into a friend without caring where they are from.

Ali

Regarding the intro, yeah I kinda fell out of cinema gek. The current shows are just not for me is all. The recent kdramas I find either too cringe, or too much about bullying/misery to the point watching isn't a good experience. Show that I'm currently keeping up with is Dexter resurrection, in case you're looking for a recommendation. (Though still check in for Naruto and One piece from time to time! 😇 Also, Sabaody top 2 arc for sure! Oh and for anime recommendation, can't wait for My hero to end, and steins gate to win... well one can hope.)

N P

Takoyaki with Mochi in it, huh? Sounds pretty sweet...

Nanami's Wife

I do disagree tho on saying we shouldn’t be claiming it being political. And I don’t believe saying that will be dividing an audience, it should be bringing everyone together and realizing real world issues we have. For example like how recently Indonesian citizens have started raising the strawhat flag as a symbol of protest against the government. I firmly believe Oda intended for the story to be political since the beginning. I believe the more Oda started to world build and add more characters, he got more into depth with real world problems. The first arc of the series is Luffy recruiting a crewmate by beating up a military leader who was abusing his power. It’s one of the only anime that touches on practically EVERY political topic, I can't think of a single arc that doesn't revolve around a social or political issue. The enemy is literally the government. I think it’s really good for us to talk about these topics❤️. Like how Oda said “This is a matter of reading comprehension.”

Sasha Ruple

Real life provided a lot of inspiration for this bad government I'm afraid. Funnily enough though, to Carter's question, Oda does have arcs where the government is good, at least for more local governments like Alabasta

Marcus D

Mochi is just pounded rice cake, it’s not inherently sweet or savoury, it all depends what you add to it when you make it. Otherwise it’s just bland in its simplest form.

Marcus D

They definitely didn’t add him in later, he was in it since it was airing. But dragon was in the first 50 episodes of one peice so I wouldn’t say it’s crazy foreshadowing.

Law.D.Maris

I have mixed feelings about this arc for obvious reasons because a lot is the trenches but there’s a lot we learn and characters we’re introduced to that I love. But I’m so excited we’re here because now I can change my picture to my #1 favorite character, other than luffy. I can’t wait for even just the next 10 episodes.

John D. Acebes

Adding my 2 cents for context and funsies. Not a rebuttal. Real life inspiration goes for a lot of One Piece, not just the government. Here's a few. More to come as the story continues. One Piece is political af: - People: (Blackbeard, Captain John (in thriller bark, Long John Silver) - Pop culture references: (Franky -> Ace Ventura, Chopper -> Rudolph, Usopp -> Pinocchio the Boy who cried wolf) - Social inequality: (Alabasta -> deep state/natural resource control, Drum Island -> healthcare consolidation, Skypiea -> religious hysteria and territorial/nation border dispute, Enies Lobby -> skewed judicial system, Ohara -> various book burnings/censorship/propaganda, Sabaody -> human trade/racism) - Void century: similar to Medieval Times and the gaps in history where nothing was recorded

Marcus D

Fun fact: Oda has said that the scene at 17:21, of Robin touching the resin and wiping it on Ussop’s shorts, is his 2nd favourite moment in the entirety of one piece. Apparently, his reason is “it lends his world a feeling of realism”. This was back around in 2020, when there was about 1000 chapters of one piece published. The manga is currently on chapter 1158.😂

Sasha Ruple

For sure! A couple more come to mind that are major spoilers, but Oda is very obviously a student of pop culture and history broadly.

Pace

No I’m saying we shouldn’t claim what Oda’s intention is. Like how some claim to know exactly what he’s trying to say about specific political issues through OP which isn’t fair on Oda & is a disservice to his work by dragging it into real world politics. We can’t be sure that’s ever his intentions unless he declares it as a statement of fact, regardless how strongly we may feel & the choices of other people to use the story for whatever cause they want. Otherwise it’s hastily assigning intentions based on pure beliefs that have never been confirmed by the creator which may not account for other nuances. So I just think we should be more careful & make it clear it’s our interpretation & not go too far as to put words in the creators mouth u know

Marcus D

Eiichiro Oda’s full top 3 favourite moments one piece series(as of 2020): 1. A specific opening spread in chapter 909(will not say more for spoiler reasons). 2. Robin rubbing the resin on usopp’s pants(Sabaody). 3. The straw hats and co. dancing around the bonfire with the wolves in the forest (Skypiea).

Ninaly

My favourite OP arc up until where I'm at :) You can really feel when One Piece locks in As for kdramas, I've given them so many tries and they are just not for me. One Piece is the only thing I watch from you guys now, which is a first, but I'm hoping y'all eventually pick up Black Sails and we can get a bipolar pirate party up in here.

Picasso

There’s a lot of weight to this arc, that’s why everyone loves it so much, it’s def somewhere in my top 5 arcs

Picasso

Cmon boys, y’all can squeeze in atleast one more episode per drop, no? 😭😭

Jeff

Stoked! Lets GOOO!🔥

John D. Acebes

Not sure if this was the intentional design, but Zoro's lack of direction kinda ties back to his identity as a character. His dream is to become the world's greatest swordsman by beating/competing with his childhood rival Kuina. She dies. No more distinct direction now other than follow Luffy. Zoro has a goal, but no clear guidance. Might be a reach, but that's the vibe I've picked up.

Keonna Taylor

This arc is when I finally became a one piece fan. The shit pacing before was all worth it. My 2nd favorite arc in the whole show. I never doubted Oda/Toei again.

Jack

We just watched 394-395 heheheha

Marcus D

A student of Culture in general, not just pop culture. He even included some indigenous Australian folk lore that most people don’t even know exists, in Enel’s moveset names.

Isla

dang i never put into perspective how low Smoker's rank was

jrnoodles

Thanks Geks! The Celestial Dragons are rats.

Gabe P

I absolutely love what celestial dragons do for one piece, sabaody in general just gives so much more weight to the world and Luffy’s actions.

Sasha Ruple

Skypiea is the gift that keeps giving. There's literally so much stuff to gush over.

Nanami's Wife

I’m lost on what you’re trying to say tbh. It’s not a disservice to his work by bringing in world politics bc the story’s main theme is literally about world issues/politics. I think it’s an insult to Oda for his readers to say it’s not political. The story is 100% allegorical to the real world. Like how Oda said “This is a matter of reading comprehension”. As an author, I think it’s a compliment when readers go into more depth on the themes the author provides in the story. Oda involving things such as colonialism, racism, slavery, human trade, oppression, liberation, and making the world government the enemy IS intentional. I think Oda loves that his work has influenced countries/people to go against the government like Indonesia. Politics fundamentally cannot be separated from the one piece story. Where i think OP excels in is having a lower threshold for a point of entry for readers, as a shounen manga it allows a younger audience to be exposed to these themes in an accessible and easier to digest way so as they grow into adults they recognize those themes in the adult world

John D. Acebes

This is going to be a reach, but the bubbles, bubbles popping outside of specific conditions, and tourism feels like some kinda take on economic bubbles. Probably not true but history and One Piece is interesting. Context: economic bubbles including the 1630s Dutch tulip bubble, 1920s easy credit -> Great Depression bubble, 2000s DotCom bubble, 2008 mortgage backed security housing bubble, and the current potential AI bubble.

Sasha Ruple

We finally meet some of the people Luffy declared war on with his actions in Enies Lobby

floo

McKay looking good with that fit sorry I'm drooling 😍

wanira 11

Almost didn't recognize you with the new profile pic and name lmao, but I'm so excited. Can't wait for the reactions guys

wanira 11

You should watch 396 now too, that makes the episodes flow better and is a great spot to end on

Sasha Ruple

Any chance they get bundled into Thursday's drop? 🥹👉👈

Marcus D

Sorry, just realised you were making a joke, my bad 😅

beannie

why would u torture us like this😞

Marcus D

100%, loved it on my first time and even now without an info deep dive or hindsight but those two things make it even better.

Marcus D

Fire profile, DK Jack ojisan.

N P

All good lol

beannie

@kayaonlive I read it with lupas voice in my head lmaooo

Marcus D

What one piece episode range are you currently at?

Marcus D

My top 5 consists of 3 arcs from this saga, Sabaody being no. 2. No. 3&4 are in post timeskip though. Just so much good stuff in this stretch of story that ring out across the narrative for the rest of the series. Amongst just having great moments isolated to this saga.

Marcus D

And back to saboady, (Gek boys DO NOT read, not spoilers but there’s hints at too much); so much happens in this arc, so many different facets and elements of story telling are included too, almost every emotion and type of scene is included too.

forthwanderer

200% agree with everything here! one piece is truly leading a generation

beannie

CONGRAAAATS CARTER AND BRADLYNN!!!❤️

Mia Malvik ⚞ • ⚟

Of course McKay is serving looks in the one reaction I won't watch 🙄

Mahti

@Marcus this saga is certainly god tier and this arc is amazing too but not quite top 3 worthy if you ask me like a lot of people here seem to rate it

Marcus D

Fair enough but I think objectively it’s top 5 worthy at the lowest, at least up until the end of the current arc the anime is on. Future manga arcs could push it out. For me it’s likely always going to stay in my top 5 though lol. Too good 😭

Mahti

Oda getting blamed for Toei pacing makes me sad, the remake cannot come out fast enough

joursh

prob doesnt like OP

beannie

this lore drop puts in perspective some things we learned back in the alabasta saga, I’m so excited for the world building in this arc

Michael H

Sometimes a bubble is just a bubble, my friend.

xSaorix

Sometimes a bubble just looks cool and fantastical. And that’s why it’s included in a fantasy story.

John D. Acebes

You're probably right in this instance, but when Oda implements an idea its often interwoven with other themes of the arc. One Piece is as deep or as shallow as a viewer wants it to be. But again, you're probably right about the bubbles

C2-H5-OH

I'm so glad you guys have progressed far enough in One Piece to start getting more core pieces of show instead of just another island, another villain sort of storytelling. Not that those are bad, but now the wide world of One Piece is starting to take effect

Vinny Deluca

The 5 Elders are pretty much the 5 highest ranking Celestial Dragons. All CD's have "political power" by birthright but most dont really do anything and are pretty much entitled/spoiled royalty who's ancestors got them grandfathered into the top of the WG.

Marcus D

^^^^SPOILERS, please delete all of that, they’ll find it all out themselves eventually as they progress the series! We don’t find out about that info about the gorosei until episode 890+

MegMegMegg

They said they wore it for a K-Drama video, so you can watch that?

Isabell

Jack and McKay are dressed like two distinguished gentlemen

Michael H

I mean, if you reeaally want to squeeze some meaning from them, it would make more sense to equate them to power or ambition: reach too far too quickly and it pops. Not sure how economic bubbles tie into anything in the story.

John D. Acebes

It doesnt. Im just personally invested in the history of economic bubbles and wanted to comment a history lesson

greyxwaren

why are you raining on their parade man? let people contextualize their favorite piece of media however they like. even if it is not oda's intention, people can draw connections all they like. john if i may add, japan also went through a bubble economic era too around 1986 to 1991 (thank you yakuza 0, we all say in unison lol)

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

Carter looks so sad even though he's having a baby. Yea I know it's the eye infection😅

greyxwaren

i cant stop laughing at the celestial dragon jack agenda lmaooo "you guys ready to see my people cook?" im cryinggg fjsadfjaekf

greyxwaren

not until a few more arcs methinks

greyxwaren

just greedy and wrong

greyxwaren

i wouldn't say the archipelago is inherently bad, you have to consider a few factors that contributes to attracting horrible people. for one it grabbed the celestial dragons attention, and since they love their slaves so much, slave trade became the hottest thing in town. and since this is the first half of the grandline and also a gateway to the second half, it's a place where all the pirates go through, so it's like a honey trap and bounty hunters can make a a quick buck by lying in wait there. not to mention hundreds of years of racism that they cant fix because of the racist rats that go there all the time (slave traders and celestial dragons)

Michael H

@John D. Acebes Ah, haha, gotcha 👍

Michael H

@greyxwaren Responding to someone’s thoughts with my own thoughts isn’t raining on their parade, guy. It’s, ya know, talking. But if they took offense to my input, then that’s my bad; it wasn’t my intention. Just joining the convo.

Dasha

Cannon u r a goat but you don’t laugh at my favorite op jokes 😭💔 tbh that’s the most important reason why I’ve chosen McKay lol

Dasha

I feel bad for other geks now because so many people liked my comment 😭

xSaorix

I used to watch kdramas when I was way younger (like middle school) but I really can't watch them anymore. Something about them just cringes me out. Idk.

McKay Carter

Bros bounty gotta be a billion

Dasha

YESSS my fav character reveal in the whole show 😭😭😭 can’t waitttt

John D. Acebes

Im chilling. Im an advocate for free speech

Marcus D

Just a correction, after Enies lobby when we see smoker again, he was promoted to Commodore, still a rank under hina though

Dounia

Did they show Dragon’s face in Loguetown? Because if they did, I don’t remember. That’s why it’s crazy to me that they show the face of a character in the very first opening, even though he doesn’t play an important role until 300–400 episodes later! And not only that that's also Luffy's dad so they showed Luffy dad in the first opening without telling any info about Luffy's family for a while. That’s what I meant

Sasha Ruple

What do we think: Fan Letter after this saga wraps up or maybe wait longer?

Marcus D

Wait until they reach the proper release order. So after ep 1122 lol, they’ll appreciate it more. And either way they’d have to wait at least until the end of the 1st arc after this saga.

Sasha Ruple

Just because the animation changes so drastically or you think it'll hit harder later?

Marcus D

It’ll hit harder later. It’ll be a good trip down memory lane after the events of this saga have faded in their minds for a while.

DaniP

Ahaha I probably should’ve put lol at the end so you know I’m joking. You know mandem get hyped during this stretch

kivu_king

I love one piece. Btw i dont know if anyone recommended you anime To be hero X but its absolute peak, very pleasant surprise.

beannie

It’s kinda early to have this conversation but, I think they should watch it after 522!

greyxwaren

as someone who grew up on secret garden, coffee prince, you’re beautiful, love rain and the likes and grew tired of them and i also thought they were cringe like you, i can safely tell you today’s dramas hit different. they branched out from the romcom cringe mold they’re more diverse now with higher budgets and really cool cinematography. the geks already covered some really good ones if you want a taster for today’s kdramas: - all of us are dead (zombies) - the glory (revenge story) - weak hero (PEAK high school/gang drama) - squid game (you’ve heard of it) my personal recommendations: - kingdom (historical zombie PEAK drama) - strangers from hell (disturbing psychological drama) if these dont get you into kdramas i guess they’re not for you but i bet you’d enjoy them

Sasha Ruple

Yeah, I mostly just wanted to put it on Jack's radar if it wasn't already. My personal preference is after 522 but I could go either way

Mamox

thought carter got punched in the face, then he says its an eye infection lmao, poor guy. Hyped for this reaction tho!

Marcus D

Honestly I really think they shouldn’t watch it then, just seems more like impatience from viewers rather caring about what’s best for the reactor’s experience.

Marcus D

We saw dragon’s face in logue town yes. They even showed his face again during drum island in Dolton’s flashback, which was around episode 80 something, and that time it was full head profile with no hood . So nah there was no crazy foreshadowing with the first opening

Sasha Ruple

I very much care about the reactors' experience. I also happen to think it would be very cool for them to see fan letter immediately after. You can disagree.

Dounia

OMG please have mercy on us and release the episodes !!!!

xSaorix

-I’ve seen trailers for squid game. The acting looks overdone, exaggerated, and every hut thing screams TikTok to me so I don’t like it lol. It’s also a tired old genre in manga and maybe only new for Americans? -I’ve also seen some clips of all of us are dead. I am NOT a fan of shows (American or Korean) that focus on teenage protagonists. It also feels very try hard. -Weak hero? I’ve read some of the webtoon. Again, not interested and especially not in stories taking place in the Korean school system. I’ve read stuff like lookism and a lot of webtoons, and I’m just not interested in that environment or story telling anymore. -Kingdom? Yep, watched a couple of episodes (2-3) a really long time ago but that’s about it. I’m just not interested in going back to Korean dramas because in all honesty, the stories don’t excite me and neither does the acting. And I grew up on those other shows you described too. So I don’t like it because I haven’t seen them, I have seen them (probably more than you) and it’s just not something I like.

Vextipher

TBHX is so peak, probably my AOTY and I didn't think I'd expect that.

Pace

Again I wasn’t saying OP isn’t political, I clearly stated his work has universal themes - aka racism, revolution, govt corruption etc & anyone is free to draw any interpretation I wasn’t against that- the point I clearly made was we should be careful & not claim what HIS intention is regarding certain political issues (which some ppl do) it’s incorrect to label his work as 1:1 allegory of what’s happening because it requires nuance. You said urself that it’s what u believe which is cool, the point I’m making is that at the start you said Oda “intended” to make his work political- which can literally read as trying to make OP a political statement on specific issues. The reality is that his work can universally apply to many complex issues & many ppl love to claim they know exactly WHICH issue he’s addressing & that’s where the line is crossed because every subject is two subjects with groups on either side who could resonate with Odas work. That’s where the divide happens

Dasha

@Marcus This is such a crazy level of patience I definitely can’t wait that long 🥲 I really hope they watch it right after this saga. I don’t think the order would make a huge difference for them, but honestly I feel like it would hit even harder if watched immediately after these events. When I watched in order, the earlier parts didn’t feel as significant compared to everything that happened in the following arcs. Plus getting a glimpse of the newer animation will be exciting for them too and maybe give them something extra to look forward to

Dasha

I’m wondering if Jack has seen it btw?

Law.D.Maris

Haha thank you, I like yours as well

Mamox

of all the spoilers its not the worst, but seriously no reason to say it some people cant help themselves despite maybe having good intentions, really need a patreon mod lol

Nami Swannn

Congrats Carter and Bradlynn! Can’t wait to meet baby Jean-Eren D Andrus 🤩 lol jk but congrats for real and all the best on this new chapter in life!

Nami Swannn

« Oh it’s gonna explode, this is gonna be diabolical 😃 » said with the biggest smile on his face okay McKay…

Leric

are we gonna get a one piece week to finish off the arc?

ROSS

I vote on them watching after 522, would be an experience we all never got to appreciate which is having everything still fresh for them.

greyxwaren

that’s very fair! i thought the last exposure you had was back in middle school. shame you couldn’t finish kingdom though, it’s very well directed probably my favorite out of this list even though i was never interested in zombies to begin with. (also i watched way more than what i listed i just dropped what i thought would interest you since those are usually the go-to list to introduce someone into kdramas) i liked squid game only for season 1. season 2 was a nothing burger to me and relied heavy on the conclusion of the unnecessary season 3 which flopped for me personally

Sasha Ruple

@ROSS that's my sentiment exactly

Nonos

Bro let’s not overthink it, they can watch peak after ep 522.

ROSS

Did they ask for this shi?

Reefat Bakht

I'm not joking when I say, this is probably my fave arc of One Piece. Or at least the first one I truly see as peak. I really really enjoyed everything from Alabasta to Enies Lobby, with increasing hype, but this is the arc I was like... wtf... this is so good. I became a fan at that point probably without realising. And what makes it better is the show builds on this feeling. I would say, this is the arc that added a sense of realism to the grand storyline of One Piece. A sense of realism that no anime I've seen can match.

cozo

no

ROSS

Aye thanks for teachin me something new today 👌

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨❤️‍🔥

agreed on after 522, since it offers another perspective that i think they'd really appreciate - especially since plotwise theres no reason to wait all the way until when it was released, and by the time they reach it otherwise they'd probs b at least another year or two out, in which case they could rewatch for the nostalgia factor if they so desired

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

He always says and grins at the most diabolical things. Entertains me every time.

EmlovesOP

Finally we have gotten to that point of the story

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

And what’s cool after fan letter is how many things you can pinpoint because everything else is still so fresh in your head, so I agree with watching it after 523 for that reason alone.

EmlovesOP

ehh they can but I feel like fan letter came out the best time. But yknow what why not they have a glimpse of whats to come

Matt Haloostock

And the One Piece World gets a little bigger

greyxwaren

on the first episode the celestial dragons appear bro had this spoiler locked and loaded. delete this shit.

greyxwaren

honestly i don’t want them to feel burnt out like they did in W7 and EL and the pacing is really good for a long while so if we’ll get a OP week it should be during you know what. since it’s not LONG long and it needs the binge imo

studiogek

Thanks dasha. Even tho I’m not your favorite one piece reactor, this still helps

Nami Swannn

He can’t keep getting away with this !!!

Dale Cooper

It might be in my top 5 for sure. The world building and character intros are crazy.

McKay Carter

It was a sad smile I promise

Dasha

😭😭😭😭😭

sil 🧸ྀི

sometimes i do love watching the drops on wednesday so i know i get another one tomorrow lmaoo THESE EPISODES ARE COOKING

Luffers

The real dark side of Sabaody is that the ground is sticky. No thanks to that

McKay Carter

Potential goat arc start, we will see

xSaorix

Yeah no I meant I used to watch kdramas a lot in middle school but past few years, I’ve only seen clips, trailers, or the few rare episodes.

ainsley

the peak that’s about to happen…

ainsley

husband is coming.

kuza

how far are yall in now 🤔👀👀

Marcus D

Episode 395 according to Jack. So they met big ray And McKay, I’m glad you’re recognising peak 😎

Grae

This arc is truly where one piece's story really kicks into to high gear, I literally can't wait for you guys to get into this Also super duper congrats to Carter and Bradlynn on the baby!!

Can’t touch this Gold

That’s a bad omen on this channel. Last ‘husband’ was a cringe letdown lmao.

Luffers

See? McKay even wants you to watch it. You're letting him down!

Marcus D

Still gives me whiplash every time I’m reminded this arc released over 15 years ago 😵‍💫

Kasumii_

Would it be crazy to say the prologue is over now? I don't wanna downplay any previous arcs cause the rest of the show is nothing without them but the show just doesn't stop from now, just lore drop after lore drop, peak arc after peak arc, there may be some slow episodes and bad pacing but when it comes to the lore and story it just doesn't stop... hope you's are ready!

Dasha

This arc is crazy bc we meet at least two characters (besides Shanks) who make me scream every time they suddenly show up on screen in the next arcs

Ninaly

I dropped off the anime (want to return because I heard it's been amazing) and read up to earlyish WC in the manga. I'm planning on catching up with all the anime episodes I missed bc tbh manga isn't as engaging for me, but it's hard to do this now with adulting :(

Mods_are_toxic

I hate people lile you that try to hype it up like this. Prologue??? Are u dumb

RapidStar

ya i mean this can be true if theyre reading the manga but the anime? cmon now

Kasumii_

@Mods_are_toxic it's almost like that's why I said I don't want to downplay the previous arcs... Obviously it's not a literal prologue I just mean stuff starts to pop off from now... why so salty? I see this isn't the only comment you're going around being angry at.

Kasumii_

@RapidStar I mean more in terms of arcs like every arc is lore rich, of course there's a lot of slow episodes in the anime but the arcs as a whole are still good imo.

Dasha

whoa what’s up buddy

Marcus D

You’re being pretty toxic yourself for someone who’s calling mods toxic. There’s no need for that. Let’s just be respectful and chill towards another please🙂‍↕️🙏

Marcus D

Also loving the pfp Dasha. Don’t think I’ve seen that one before. Facing off against shark zoro 😂

Dasha

Haha thank you this is a cover page for chapter 1013. Love yours too, Zoro is iconic this arc🥰

Joy

Who was the last husband??

Marcus D

Thank you and yep, peak comedy from him in this arc lol. Looking forward to it😊

ainsley

atsumu from haikyuu unfortunately

Small town ph

Kingdom is so good! I've never seen horror and political genre mixed together like this. Some people can't appreciate the complexities of it, I guess. I don't get the need to leave unnecessary comment lol. Its like when someone said "I like x" and theres always that one "ugh x is so CriNgE". Like, you don't like something? Okay? No need to make it about you

Sasha Ruple

Sending love to those waiting for today's drop

Pudding

Am I the only one getting anxious about those bubbles coming from the ground? Like, I'd be afraid to walk, what if they come right from under me 😂

Obithe12

Prologue definitely ends max Alabasta, but this arc definitely marks a new era for One Piece paved by much more mature and darker stories

ROSS

Sure pal

Szonin

The prologue ends after episode 1014.
