Hell yes!

give up 6eps per week!

Naturemyth

Cover Stories are at the beginning of each chapter they have 1 page dedicated to a small thing outside of what is going on. Some are just fun ideas that people request Oda to make and some are legitimate canon story events which are full episodic series that can last 50+ chapters. But it keeps it very contained. Imagine if every Anime episode there was a quick 1 minute short of something else going on in the world.

charlie

they are absolutely canon and integral to the story and you guys are missing stuff by not taking a look at them

Sasha Ruple

Yeah, the cover stories are cool. They do things like explain how Hachi ended up owning a Takoyaki stand and hanging out with Camie before we ever meet back up with him in Sabaody

Ben.

Every chapter of One Piece starts with a special illustration. Sometimes, they're just cool drawings of the characters in unique circumstances, and sometimes it's a full-on storyline. In the case of these episodes, Oda dedicated a few covers to each straw hat to show where they ended up. Toei decided to adapt those and fill in the blanks.

Gamerguyri

A cover story is typically just a single page at the beginning of a manga chapter and with each new chapter there is a new page that shows the rest of the story, example instead of showing these episodes in the manga, instead over the course of 5-6 chapters it would show the story one page at a time

Cover stories continue the story of alot of side characters and are canon and therefore worth checking out, they are on the first page of a chapter where it tells u the number and name of the chapter u are about to read. there should be videos compiling them or sum. Hope the comments make it clearer since its not something every manga comes with 🙏

1804

The cover stories are canon, as far as I know, back in the early anime, they adapted some (Buggy's) but, I don't know if this is confirmed, since it didn't do well in viewership since the strawhats didn't appear they stopped doing it. Although I think they adapted one recently.

Error445

Off topic but did anyone else see Wemby play last night the guy is unstoppable

Kayanolive

I love cover stories but i dont like turning 2 pages into half an episode to let our characters act completly different to fill runtime

1804

Thank you for the early dropp 🔥

Maya 🌱

These are definitely important to the story and each strawhat’s journey!!

Jeff

Target probably could have done 4 in one ep or all in one ep and just do a quick bounce around. Watching these while it aired was torture

Zipzzty

FR We are

Zipzzty

Read the Web novel even better

Zipzzty

HELL YEAH

parALICEis

lets goooo i´m so exited since i caught up with you guys and decided to not continue on my own

parALICEis

i need another one piece week ...after horror movie Halloween time

DietCocaine

a cover is the first page of the manga chapter before the chapter starts. Its usually a one page picture and Oda likes to tell stories with them. For example a cover story can be about 20 pages long spanning 20 chapters. They are cannon stories just not part of the official chapter

beannie

cover stories are basically cover pages of the manga that oda uses to show the whereabouts of some side characters/villains, they’re canon so it adds to the world building while the manga chapters are focused on the straw hats quest you definitely need to check those out after you finish this saga!! the one with enel is very interesting

Joey

Carter's Robin prediction at the beginning 💀

Bethe

every time we get an early one piece upload my heart grows one size bigger like i’m the grinch

Kite

Robin's episode is so good

Nanami's Wife

I'm loving yalls reactions to these😂❤️

Zzz Zzz

a cover story is the cover page of the manga before the chapter that has cannon stories depicted in pictures

zoldaic

Cover stories has always shown the stories that's not focusing on the main plot, shame that anime won't see a lot of them Basically if you still don't understand, cover is like the cover of a book And oda drew one panel with no dialogue on the cover spanning to multiple covers

Eren Jeager

Day 14 of asking for My Hero Academia: World Heroes Mission and Your Next

Gabe P

After understanding what the cover stories are and if you guy’s are interested in checking one out, PLEASE read Enel’s cover story that takes place immediately after Skypiea!!!!! Without giving too much away it’s about where Enel went to

Pudding

So early!!! Thanks!

Kurofi

The ussop hate is wild lmao

Dreamknight942

I’m so glad you guys watched these 🥰

Pudding

Aaaand I'm getting that impression again, the same one I had in Skypiea; that Robin, of all Strawhats except Luffy, gives the most protagonist vibes. Especially in this episode, it really felt like she was the mc of another completely different anime, with a different vibe and story, and it fit her. I freaking love her solo adventures. They kinda give Ghibli vibes in some way.

Hear IT

6 ep per week.. pleaseeeee

Mauricio.

MY QUEEN, NICO ROBIN <3

Lorenzo

Im pretty sure jack talked about this but another cover story is enel going to the moon with his ship

Pudding

Perona!!!

Fernando

Yoooooo… sneaky 😏

Error445

Yeah the league is cooked if he stays healthy 😭

Pudding

25:43 Why is Zoro aura farming when passed out. Showing the good angles and all😂😂

Ciara

Yes mckay i agree i love this animation especially the animation on robins island if you like this you would love the one piece movie baron omatsuris animation its just like that but better

Pudding

I laughed so much at the beginning of Brook's part. Your reactions were hilarious, especially Mckay 😂

Pudding

I do not want to see Ace crying and asking to be killed bro😭😭😭 breaks my heart to see him like that

Sasha Ruple

I'm SO excited for next week's drops

Badger3116

Like think of a book cover illustration that was made into a story

Scarlet

Carter failing to predict Robin's fate but leading in the midcard guessing game. 😂

Seda

The cover stories are 100% part of the official story. Anime-onlys are missing out on important canon info bc they weren’t animated. Those episodes where Coby is training with Garp—those were cover stories. Did you like seeing what he was up to, or would you rather he just showed up in Water 7 with no context for why he's suddenly stronger and working under Garp? I don't know if you remember, but you guys were really confused when Jango (the hypnosis guy from Syrup Village) showed up in Alabasta as a Marine. That was explained in the cover stories. How Hachi ends up with Camie, what happened to Arlong, what the former Baroque Works agents are currently up to, and where Enel goes after flying off in his airship are all in the cover stories. I'm ranting, but I seriously can't stress enough that you should be reading the cover stories!!🙏

mina

one piece drops are the only things that make me happy it’s a weekdays

mina

weekday** 💔

eyecatcher wins counter🔥 Carter - 5 Jack - 3 Mckay - 2 Cannon - 1 Why is Carter so good at this lol😭

Sasha Ruple

Guys, Shanks clearly just lost that arm because he knew the bandit wouldn't be a big enough meal for the Lord of the Coast on his own.

1804

yeah i'd be nice if they read them

ace

crazy that you guys have now seen over 400 episodes of one piece

2026-10-07 09:00 id give my whole body heart soul and bank account for a impel down and then the next arc binge genuinely would make my month
2025-10-23 19:11

Mitch

Yea hers was easily the best one and u could tell the animators put their best effort on her lol (rightfully deserved). Wasn’t looking forward to rewatching any of the SH whereabouts besides her and Zoro

Hype

I'm also very willing to sacrifice your body heart soul and bank account for a binge. So much peak yet to be watched. I know they're gonna love all these episodes.

Mitch

Bumsopp deserves all the hate in the world 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Plxx got caught

Yeah people who said to skip these episodes are trippin. funny people

Zipzzty

LETS GOOOO

Zipzzty

THANKS GOATS

Zipzzty

Lets goo

Vinny Deluca

Cover Stories are just that, Stories told by the covers of each chapter, they are told separate from the main manga storyline but are cannon and tie directly into future events in many situations. For example these stories of where the straw hats landed, they were cover stories but are incredibly relevant to the greater narrative so they shouldnt be ignored Theres also the incredibly important Enel Cover Story, a story about what happened to CP9 after Water 7, and a whole series covering Ace's search for Blackbeard, which culminated in their showdown in the proper Manga

Zipzzty

LOVE THE EARLY DROPS

Maj

Will not tolerate the usopp chapelle slander anymore

Chayma

My fav duo is here, Perona and Zoro ! 💃🏻

Obithe12

Without any spoilers yet, each of the islands the straw hats were sent to relate to either an inherent weakness (or a character weakness) or an opportunity specifically for them to get stronger. Luffy is kind of the exception I’ll elaborate more when we get there

beannie

“Everyday I get very happy to watch this show” my goat Carter🙏

Aokiji Piece🧊

W pfp! I’m reading Vagabond for the first time and I’ve been reading through the VizBig manga, and I just finished the 1v1 fight between Musashi and Inshun, that was absolute gas 🔥

Gabe P

I know shanks losing an arm is basically a meme at this point but lemme toss my hat in. Based off Shank’s conversation with Whitebeard, it’s heavily implied that Shanks believed in Luffy’s potential so much that he lost his arm on purpose. Why? Probably just to teach Luffy a lesson about the brutality of the sea. Also from a writing standpoint it’s Oda showing us, the audience, the brutality of the sea as well. A little much to just teach a lesson yeah? Well that’s why.. “it was a gamble on the next era”

1804

Peronaaaa

Blast

These weren't just cover stories, there was some of it in the actual manga chapters but it was just a few pages per person. Toei ended up stretching it to 4 episodes.

Sam Blustein

Cover stories are literally just bits and pieces of story telling that oda chooses to do through the front cover art of each manga chapter

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

I just have to say, your reactions make me so happy. I grin like a little kid every single time, no matter where I am when I'm watching it. You're one of the main reasons why I look forward to my Tuesdays and Thursdays. And here is a definition by chatgpt, regarding cover stories: "One Piece cover stories are supplementary, canon narratives that run on the cover pages of the manga, often focusing on side characters or antagonists after their initial defeat. They are told through a series of panels and provide important context, world-building, and character development that runs concurrently with the main story but is rarely adapted in the anime. " Examples of cover stories: - "Buggy's Crew Adventure Chronicles": Follows Buggy after his defeat by Luffy, showing his efforts to reunite his crew. - "Enel's Great Space Operations": Depicts Enel's journey to the moon and his encounter with space pirates. - "Ace's Great Blackbeard Search": Follows Ace's pursuit of Blackbeard across the sea.

PEAK'N

Zipzzty

NAHH LETS GOOO GOAT ENJOY PEAK. If u ever wanna discuss add my disc “zipzzty”

Benjamin Knock

The best way to describe cover stories is that every week with his chapter release oda gets to have a cover which he will do series of and turn them into actual stories despite being only 1 page sized panel, generally with some sort of description of what's happening. Hence why these episodes have awful pacing, there isn't really much that they get to go off of and they tip toe around not putting too much non cannon stuff in them

Zipzzty

Definitely

Natacha

The guy that killed that Sea king is a Vice admiral, so he's not a random

Zipzzty

Facts i agree

Zipzzty

PEAK ON A PLATTER

beannie

I love the art style/animation for robins bit too, I forgot who was in charge of directing it but they did such a good job, the little girl (soran) is not manga canon but her addition made the story even more enjoyable

Zipzzty

2:22 One Manga Panel Is crazy 😭😭

hanji

i’m so hype rn

jrnoodles

Thanks Geks! People wanted you to skip those cover stories?

Zipzzty

9:40 Building a bridge for centuries

Marcus D

Cover stories are front pages of manga chapters that oda uses to fit in extra official cannon content. They’re new stories that are absolutely canon and affect the main one piece content you watch. There was a cover story for Hatchi, for example, which showed how he got from navy captivity in Arlong park, to meeting camie & papagu to forming his Takoyaki business as well as fighting off those fishman macro pirates that were with Duval. If you had read the cover stories during the parts of the main story they were released in, you would have known about camie, papagu and hatchi’s new story by the start of the water 7 arc. There’s also cover stories that explain what happened to Enel, Baroque works and CP9 after their respective defeats, as well as other villains, just like you guys have been asking for in the past lol. They are definitely official and will impact the story lol, not sure why Jack said otherwise, Toei just hasn’t animated most them for whatever reason. The Garp, Koby & helmmeppo episodes back in the early days were also adaptions of a cover story and you saw how informative those were. So yes definitely read/react/watch slideshow versions of them sooner than later pls🙏

kosoihas

man the world government SUCKS

Zipzzty

17:35 Construction for 700 years

Marcus D

Agree with all of that 100%. The little girl soran stuff got me good

Marcus D

Also was one of the 5 vice admirals leading the buster call and present at Enies lobby

Bethe

i love the voice acting for that part, he sounds like he’s in so much pain 🙂‍↕️

Justin ⟢

Robin really can’t catch a break💔

Chris Schwirz

My interpretation of cover stories is that it’s canon because it’s drawn usually by oda but doesn’t necessarily have to connect back to the story it can but there’s creative freedom there

Seda

jack the guy at 37:34 was the vice admiral from G8!! i always loved that they brought him back cause G8 is basically canon in my eyes

Nonos

Wemby is literally a cheat code it’s insane

Marcus D

Just another manga he’s read before hand😔

Marcus D

Lmao I had a similar info crash out about it above too😂

Qhoa

cade-carter

cover stories are single page panels of actual story that go at the beginning of every chapter. They are part of the cover. Some cover stories last quite a while 10-20-30 chapters so the equivalent of roughly a whole chapter for some

Marcus D

Almost every if not all cover story content has been referenced at the bare minimum in the main manga story, so yeah, def canon

ainsley

finally get to see my beautiful princess again

Alli

Hey guys :) you have comments off on your update posts, so guess I have to ask here? I didn't see anything about Breaking bad on there. The boys isn't coming back. thats fine. Breaking Bad was paused, but we were told it was definitely coming back. Is that still the case? Or is that also "indefinitely postponed" with no promise of coming back to it soon? Just trying to figure out what's going on with the shows I spent hours watching with you guys before you dropped them w/ no explanation, thanks for your future transparency if that ever happens.

Bob

garp right there with them.

JBVI

You have entered the golden age of One Piece. There is no coming back.

Chris Schwirz

Cover stories can also last multiple chapters and have continuity

Mr. John Kagurabachi

In simple terms, Cover stories are essentially side stories that are directly cannon. They are shown at the beginning of every manga chapter. It directly affects the one piece world and it’s kinda a must you guys view them ngl. For example, it shows what happened cp9, hachi, and also show villains/side characters that may reappear in the show.

Ernesto Blanco

Yall are not ready for marine ford. Its like the WW2 of onepice

Zipzzty

ONE PEAK

Zipzzty

Nah really is

Zipzzty

FICTI’N

Bethe

according to the one piece wiki heracles’n adds the n sound to the end of ussops name because its a common way to show friendship when speaking Japanese, and i guess it just turned into a quirk of him saying it after like every sentence, he’s just a friendly guy 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ also according to people on reddit Law adding “ya” to the ends of names comes from “ya” being a way to turn a word into a profession like how adding “er” to the end of a word in english does the same, so him calling luffy mugiwara-ya is pretty much him saying luffy is the man who wears a straw hat kind of like how a lawyer is a man who practices law or a farmer is a man who works on a farm apparently it’s also like him adding mr and ms to whatever he calls them so mr strawhat or miss nico 🙏i wish i could magically become fluent in japanese so i could understand all the speaking quirks in one piece, i feel like it adds so much to the characters personalities

Zipzzty

46:04 Cannon bro 😭😭??

Zipzzty

46:59 Goat carter

Andrea

Because they are sea monsters, not kings. the sea kings are the ones in the first opening and the one that got Shanks arm. everything else is sea beast/monster. Sea kings are usually just chilling in the calm belt that's why it's dangerous to sail there.

sil 🧸ྀི

they animated robin's part so beautifully i love her MY QUEEN

Error445

Nah fr. Guys like 7’5 out here doing curry slides hitting +1 threes 😭

Seda

lol i just dk how else to convince them that they are integral to the story and not optional filler😭

Kathleen Adams

They NEED to watch G-8! Not only is it the best filler arc, but Jonathan makes reoccuring cameos in both the show and movies. That makes it the closest thing to canon.

John D. Acebes

Cover stories are official. They are one panel stories told at the beginning of a chapter. It's how we keep up with the other parts of the world (where Buggy was up to meeting Alvida, where Helmepo and Coby were during their time with marines up to meeting Luffy, what happens to defeated enemies, etc)

E L

carter mentioned somewhere that they will be finishing breaking bad

DonDuh103

Crazy Ace was asking Garp to kill him!

relyct

I don't really think this is a spoiler, but some of the cover story is also shown in the Opening accompanying this arc. So excited when you will see it at the end of the year, since it's one of my all time fav opening!

relyct

In the Manga this was more clear, but Ace called Whitebeard his father, since this is what the crew calls him instead of captain. He already said that in Alabasta :)

Live action Jimbei (Orkahs)

If you liked these episodes you should have watched the filler episodes on alabasta back in the day. Or the couple of filler episodes after alabasta, for example there was one were zorro was sleeping and day dreaming of how he met johnny and yosaku back in the day and how they fought a guy with a 10 million berry bounty whos name was dick.

Who read the new manga chap? 🙋🏾‍♀️ (hehe)

wanira 11

"I think Robin catches a break on her island" Famous last words

SavDog23

The perfect time for you guys to check out the Cover Stories that have been would be during the Timeskip (whenever that is) in a stream or video. Excited for Impel Down, it really cooks.

Zess

This isn't filler though.

Zess

But the vice admiral killed a sea king, since they were in the calm belt. That's what McKay was referring to and what they're eating.

Zess

That update was about shows that were more recent and haven't had an update yet. Breaking bad already got the "we're not watching this right now" update, so why repeat that if there was nothing new to say about it? lol

˗ˏˋ Manayer ʚ ˖𓍢ִ໋🪷✧˚

The cover stories are official and canon, and most of them are actually important like Ace’s and Enel’s stories. They also show what happened to a lot of characters, like the Baroque Works members after Alabasta, or the CP9 after Enies Lobby. Even Camie first appeared in a cover story, so manga readers already knew her before.

wanira 11

Robin's situation reminds me so much of Nazi Germany, with the way Oda portrayed the people turning in their own neighbours for their own gain, regardless of what happens to that person. F the world government

Kurofi

Lmao and why is that?

Kurofi

I have a theory on why he lost his arm but it could be a spoiler so 🤷🏾‍♂️

Marcus D

37:26 Appearance of a character from Ace’s cover story lol, guy in the middle with the red suit

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

"King of the Sea" is infinite aura points. Didn't remember this scene at all😵‍💫

wanira 11

Fr I love the animation in that episode, she looks so different

wanira 11

Mckay said he wanted the drama with Nami and Robin, well he got his wish (even if it's only in Boa's imagination 😂)

Janice W

There's already been some good explanations for the cover stories (goated comments👑), but yeah! The cover stories allow for Oda to show what past characters have been up to without needing to do it in a full chapter per say. Without including ones with spoilers or hints towards what characters might show up in the future, some examples are; Koby and Helmeppo training with Garp, Hachi saving Camie. Idk if anyone ever mentioned but there's also something supervised by Oda called Vivre card. Basically a data collection of characters' blood type, devil fruit, allegiance etc, think there are some other random facts on there too. Just some fun stuff. Also confirmed by Oda, Luffy showers only once a week. FUTURE PIRATE KING IS STINKY LMAOOOO

Marcus D

Everyone is saying how weak shanks is for losing his arm to the sea king but they are just not realising how godly Lord of D. Coast truely is

beannie

crazy shit😭 THAT panel was insane

Maya 🌱

I hope we get more than 4 episodes a week! If we continue at this rate we'll get to marineford by Christmas which is soo far away

Alli

Because there is a different between "we are pausing this show but will be back to it soon" w/ no explanation why, and the announcement yesterday about stopping the shows, with no guarantee they will revisit (obvi they aren't coming back to finish like 3 episodes of AIB months later that would be stupid as hell) and since at no point have they explained why, for any of these, obviously many of us have frustrations, and questions that arent being answered, intentionally. why you swallow that is funny to me

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

Cannon too worried about the looks🙄 It's true that Ace is just a better looking Luffy but I'm quite sure Boa isn't that worried about someone's looks other than herself. Why? Because she is beautiful.

Avery

literally, these 4 episodes a week are nothing, we need a one piece week

beannie

not stronger than Down D. Stairs tho, who took kuinas life instantly🙏

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

I've recently watched Jojo Rabbit which might not be the best representation but now that you commented this it made me think of that movie

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

Oh somehow I remember that even though it's been about 8 years since

Picasso

There’s no way a marineford one piece week isn’t in the works, the anticipation between each drop would kill me 😭😭

wanira 11

You don't recognize him? SPOILERS It's my goat Corazon, Law's actual father figure 💓

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

I have no idea why he even said it. Well I guess he thought the war could be avoidable. Come on now Ace. Lock in

Nanami's Wife

@Sasha Imma hold your hand when I say this……… you will absolutely love it 🤭😁 I’m not gonna edge you too hard bc I was a anime only for years so i understand, but just know that it is *cinema* 😏

Nanami's Wife

@beannie RIGHT!!! Seeing that was so worth the long break 😭🤭😁

Pace

Literally NO ONE wanted to skip this, it’s not filler. Cover stories arnt filler. Filler is shit Toei adds to stretch the length for example the scenes with ghost girl injecting Zoro with depression over and over & putting him in costume and chasing him never happened in the manga - little things like that which padd the anime is what constitutes as filler - THATs what is wanted to be skipped not actual storytelling from Oda

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

I have no memory in my mind how the time skip happens but I guess it could be an idea to watch it then

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

I feel like the hate for Garp is even bigger than for the world government because we have gotten to know him quite well. And he's Luffy and Ace's grandpa😑

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

Brochichacho. Nobody wanna know about manga. Especially with those kinda emojis

Kayanolive

37:40 no one wanted to skip canon material haha but i get what ur saying

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

Making eye contact for 5 seconds is crazy. No wonder if you fall in love

Kayanolive

There will be no more week and i dont think we should expect one. Binges are 2873x more realistic

Kayanolive

Luffy sailing off Amazon Lily, all the Whereabout stuff plus what we saw after in this drop are in one 27 minute episode on one pace lmao its kinda wild

Pace

Ikr! The trip to Impel Down was so quick unlike in the anime it felt forever

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

Toei showing their unlimited love for the golden boy🙄 it's not like I'm bitter or something🙄

GBuckets

Cannon stay taking Ls. Just hang it up unc.

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

There is no need to explain. You must know the reason but somehow you accept it more well than most people🤷‍♂️

Xen0n

That is a really good mindset Carter, don't rush it. Take your time to watch this masterpiece.

KrispyKenny

Avery they explicitly said they're never doing a week like that again multiple times, so no point in asking. we may or may not get a small binge for marineford or a 3 ep drop here and there but ask for too much and we may not get anything

Kurofi

You don’t feel that he balances out the crew? He is the most human out of the group in terms of how he reacts to the crazy situations they find themselves in. With that in mind and understanding his role, I totally see his value and as someone who enjoys one piece for the ride, I enjoy the part he plays. PLUS, he’s given us many amazing moments. I personally find his development more interesting than Zoro’s, who can be 2 dimensional at times but also has his moments for sure.

AdustNinee

COVER STORIES - In the manga each chapter has a story on the cover. It's not manga panels, they are just illustrations on the cover page that show something happening. The stories are told over several chapters.

wanira 11

Wasn't that just delayed because of Bradlynn's pregnancy?

Dasha

this is so lame

wanira 11

I did not see any comment that said to skip these episodes... not sure where Mckay saw that. I read one that said that someone skipped these episodes on a first watch because they were too eager to get back to Ace's story, but no comment actually recommended the geks to skip these episodes

Michael H

I love Robin’s story and its unique animation. Poor Robin always gets the short end of the stick, though 😕

Michael H

Carter coming in clutch with the double Robin gambit!

Spoons

We’ve seen some cover stories animated already too! There was a Buggy focused episode awhile back and also the Koby training arc episode. It’s pretty crazy to think that Garp was first introduced in a cover story. They are pretty important!

Kayanolive

Idk so far he aura farmed a lil and beat luffys ass as a child lmao. I just dont like how garp is movin rn thats all

Bob

SPEAK THE TRUTH DONT LET THEM SILENCE YOU

Dale Cooper

Do kids not have Anne Frank as reading material in school now?

bobqueen16

fun question! how would y'all rank the 8 mini segments? here is mine 1- Brook (i could not stop laughing) 2- Robin 3- Zoro 4- Franky 5- Nami 6- Chopper 7- Usopp 8- Sanji

ahmad

yesssss

ahmad

yeah not sure where this is coming from lol.

Spoons

Whitebeard and Shanks are two for the four emperors. So it’s safe to assume that they can cook.

Spoons

And to give some more scaling, Garp said in Post Enie’s Lobby that Whitebeard and Roger were rivals

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨❤️‍🔥

just watchin now so im sure ppl have already addressed this, but cover stories are official jack! carter pretty much got it - they're in the manga but disconnected from the main plot, so oda makes the cover of each chapter in the manga a look into whats going on with a side character! some were animated like buggies little sidequest and now the crew memebers whereabouts, but theres a lottt that you guys are missing out on, which is why people have mentioned it may be cool for yall to react to videos that go over them

Murasaki

Lmao “Ace is better looking” this is the first time I hear/see this kind of comment for One Piece 🤣🤣 Appearance is the least discussed topic in the community. I agree tho 🤣

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨❤️‍🔥

'shes an ice climber dude' the way i was confused too LMAO - her design is so cute tho 🥺 bad as it is i do love the vibe of tequila wolf also, its another one of those times where the tone feels so different, and i love the way they use lighting

Pace

A mini binge would be better than a week binge because those are exhausting

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

It basically allows readers to follow the journey of other characters without deviating from the running arc. Very canon though .

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

These episodes are not filler and they’re enjoying One Piece now much more than back when Alabasta was up.

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

I wish I had stacked the thing like I planned, but I fail every time. Goosebumps!!

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

Like Boa x Luffy’s cute little gag, Cannon is also running his own gag with the constant failure in guessing the correct mid cards. And he’s so enthusiastic every time 😭

Michael H

An aura-farming child abuser…when you put it like that, damn, maybe Garp is a bum lol

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

I’m guessing we’re not including Luffy x Hancock? If we are, then they’re at the top. If not, then: 1- Robin (her storyline is most intriguing) 2- Brooke (hilarious shxt) 3- Sanji (his letter to Nami and Robin mid flight always makes me chuckle) 4- Chopper (because he’s so cute) 5- Zoro (just cause I love him, but Perrona was pissing me off, hence why he’s low on the list) 6- Nami (sky islands stay cool) 7- Franky (mechanical things are mildly interesting) 8- Usopp (not a fan, but there ya go)

14:12 did anybody else catch this 👀

bobqueen16

luffy and boa would be at one. i had to put sanji so low cause of second hand embarrassment but his letter was funny

EmlovesOP

I def think yall should one day go read cover stories maybe once yall catch up

Saki 🏴‍☠️✨❤️‍🔥

totally get what u mean about the ghibli vibes! i think it has a lot to do with the quiet calm that robin tends to take in the world with, and the locations and the lighting of the places she ends up in just adds to that~

E

Facts garp is such a loser

lixo

oh my god a skz and op enthusiast

Marcus D

Broke my heart with that one Beanie, thought that one was off limits 🥀😭

Marcus D

Kind of crazy coming from someone who’s pfp character told the MC of his show to kill himself because he isn’t as physically gifted as everyone else.💀

StandedJosh

People wanna use one pace for certain parts of the story to cut out minutes per episode of pure anime-only padding (that amounts to dozens of hours over the show, it’s A LOT) that’s purpose is purely to make the episode reach the runtime without catching up to the manga. In essence, using one pace is comparable to skipping filler arcs in terms of getting the pure experience of the story. Definitely NOT skipping canon content such as this, and definitely not skipping content just because it’s bad. If a part of the manga is bad, then that’s part of the story and shouldn’t be skipped IMO

Marcus D

Back at Jaya even buggy said that he was the only pirate or something equal to Roger

Isaac

I see cover stories as being there to build the story that is occurring in the background. It's like, cover stories are showing that the story doesn't only happen to the Straw Hats/Luffy. There's a whole range of characters out there, each with complex storylines that continue even after Luffy has encountered them. It is all connected and will wrap back around into the main story, at some point.

Kayanolive

And then 8 seasons happened and now he is my fav due to his development but yeah..

greyxwaren

cover stories are....chapter cover stories lol they're a continuous line of CANON events oda sprinkles here and there to shed light on events without them taking space in the actual chapters. im sure a lot of people clarified already i haven't checked the comments yet but here's my 2 cents lol

greyxwaren

an example of this would be: a chapter comes out, the first page is a panel of helmepo and coby meeting garp. they dont have any dialogue it's always that and subtitle underneath the chapter number and name to add context

codesterr

well they did skip g8 so🤷‍♂️

Marcus D

Yeah I don’t know why Jack, or other people think they’re unofficial or not canon to the story, I hear it a lot. At least check them out before you write them off lol

greyxwaren

im still mad toei also seem to think so and stopped animating them 😔

Marcus D

BTW there’s literally a single cover page in chapter 800 something where it got brought up in the main manga chapter pages in chapter 1060+ and directly caused a very big event in chapter 1125+. The event cause would have just been conveyed only through word of mouth if Oda hadn’t shown us which he did through the cover story, including context of what led up to that moment in cover pages just prior to it. That’s just one example and there’s some not so yet to be relevant that’ll likely be impactful later on. So yes at some point you guys should read/watch all of the cover stories, preferably starting sooner than later. I think right now there’s around 30 cover series and where you’re at in the story you can read 10, which have never been animated. Don’t ask me why toei haven’t animated most of them they absolutely should and it’s great easy content for them.

hanji

YUPPP

Pace

Absolutelty right. And this is EXACTLY what ive been preaching, and cant make it clear enough it seems. And for refrence the filler padding of the anime constitutes 700+ epsodes so over 60% of the anime is filler. That’s diabolical!

Andrea

Whoops, well on my defense I'm getting old and McKay is hard to hear and I thought we are at the usual sea king discourse again. My bad😅

Dasha

1. Robin 2. Brook 3. Sanji 4. Franky 5. Chopper 6. Zoro 7. Usopp 8. Nami

Dasha

Why nazi are the only ones people remember lol😅 this still happens in all authoritarian countries. Pre 1945 japan was deeply authoritarian too

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

The fact that he’s “more human” has never been a selling point for me. Nami is also very human and I like her just fine. I’ve just accepted Usopp as being part of the crew and he has some goated moments, but I don’t particularly like him either. His lows were too low for me to completely turn back on his character when he hits his high moments.

wanira 11

@Dasha it's just the one example that first jumped to mind. Of course it's not the only example

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

Love Garp. I’ll never understand why people behave like all pirates are good and civilian lives don’t need protecting simply because the WG is trash. You’d only ever have a point if he actually ranked up to admirals as their purpose is to directly serve the Celestial Dragons and 5 Elders. Truly puzzling to me (unless you hate him for the obvious reason, I just don’t get it). As if impacting the system from within isn’t a thing 🙄

wanira 11

@Dale Cooper In Europe we still do. Not sure if it's the same in America

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

You’re looking at him beating Luffy through the lense of abuse, which isn’t what that’s about. Not only culturally, but in terms of old school shonens, physical scolding by a mentor or elder is a way to show strict but caring guidance, hence him calling it “Fist of Love”. Garp’s personality fits that archetype: he’s a rough, old-school marine who believes in strength and discipline. Anything that has to do with him beating Luffy is framed as comic exaggeration and tough-love discipline. So unless you’re just mad about him being a marine and therefore, part of the WG, that argument doesn’t work to paint him in a bad light.

Kayanolive

I know that and my comment was never that deep to begin with😭

kuza

brook entrance is veryyyyyyyyyyyy interestinggggggggg

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

Oda always makes it clear when something is meant to be taken the wrong way. Yall are framing this as child abuse instead of actually understanding the portrayal as intended by the author. Comments like these are so frustrating to read.

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

I wish people would stfu about Garp. Never seen this before, especially for a character that people are hype to see just for the fact that he’s a marine and that he’s Luffy and Ace’s grandfather. Shxt is annoying .

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

I get that, but the replies you’re getting suggest others might feel it’s actually abuse and it’s easy to make it confusing for the Geks too, which I think it’s best to avoid. I’m mostly making sure it’s clear, plus I saw other Garp haters on a thread below, hence why I might have come on a little strong.

Seda

yk people are allowed to dislike characters and they don’t need to pretend otherwise for reactors? not saying it’s bad if you like him, but him being apart of a corrupt organization is a valid enough reason for some people to dislike him

kosoihas

what impacting has he done? its been decades, he saw what CDs do, how unfair the system he serves is but he just continues being a dog for celestials no matter what and god valley...

Dasha

the guy that shows up in the end of 421 right after T-bone - is it vice admiral from G8 arc?

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

By being a marine alone, he protects civilians. Not sure why that isn’t accounted for. Where or when has he been shown to do something shady or fk’d up on behalf of the WG? If he’d been like Kizaru and attacked the Straw Hats for punching a Celestial Dragon, then I’d get your point. And the God Valley argument lost sense as of 1163.

Michael H

@Rayanh LaNansha Pretty sure this whole thread is a joke. I was just playing along at least. Besides, it’s good to keep those Geks confused. Gotta keep ‘em on their toes.

Kayanolive

Just to wrap this up, im not caught up with one piece myself and i know what i can and cant say based on where they are yk. And as u pointed out urself, by making this about hindsight merchanting it tells me that there is stuff in the future. So maybe think ur rant through before u tell ppl to stfu idk

beannie

yessss!! Jonathan! lmao😭 I like him as a character even tho he’s filler

kosoihas

by being a marine he still supports the fckd up system its that simple. he doesnt oppose it, he pretends he does, but at the end of the day he still does whatever they tell him to do like a good dog would

Wickerx Nanana

They're not SEA KINGS.....They're SEA MONSTERS......Sea Kings are whole different

Nonos

Brooks segment is so forgettable suprised ppl ranking it so high but ok

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

That’s fair. What I’ve seen normally doesn’t dictate the norm, but I’ll just say this: it’s not far fetched for me to assume that’s what people are doing when I know I’ve surfed the net long enough with anything OP related and it’s my first time seeing it at this point in time. I’ll delete my other replies but leaving my top comment with an edit. ✌️

Gilster

Jonathan showing up to MF dripped out beyond belief 😂

Seda

@rayanh true, they could’ve been talking about other things but nothing seemed specific enough to jump to any conclusions imo. i’ll delete mine too. sorry things got a little fighty, hope i see you in the comments under friendlier circumstances lol🫶

Marcus D

@kayaolive, even without hindsight merchanting and just watching one piece up to this point, I already loved Garp and the take about him being a bum is trash now and trash later lol.

christopher

Since you asked Enel is in the moon and he finds a lost civilization that may connect to a bigger one piece event

Dasha

I forgot his name but remembered him as “Jessica’s husband” lmao

N P

"Enel on the moon" is such a funny canon story plot, it may have either everything to do with the story or absolutely nothing and I can't tell which. This isn't a spoiler either, since the cover stories were published during Enies Lobby, so there's no problem with the Geks at least being aware of it

christopher

i think its very important cause its something oda would do put something that has a major impact in one of his cover stories. It would also not be the first time a cover story came back around into the major story

Kayanolive

always a pleasure marcus 🫩

christopher

i replied about something but after re-reading you guys talk it out i kinda feel like i was an ass sorry

Soof

That Sanji pfp is telling if u remembered him through his wife lmao😭😭

Ante

Boa activating conqueror's because she heard the names Nami and Robin. LMAO goddamn I love this simp!

Pudding

They kept forgetting about him haha and it didn't help that Robin got like 90% of the episode and 2 midcards

Fatipapi (Byakuya’s Girl)

When Ace said ‘oyaji’, he was referring to Whitebeard. I think “father” was a bit of a mistranslation. I think its more of a “pops”/“old man”, which is how everyone on WBs crew refers to him.

kuza

this hasnt even been shown yet has it? so why comment it

EmlovesOP

Realizing how much Oda planned out, his series is scary sometimes

kuza

i dont think everyone on WBs crew refering to him as pops and him seeing the crew as children was ever shown atp is what im saying

Bob

"Garp was just following orders"

Lana

my girl perona <3 im being her for halloween

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

It’s like saying, because the chief of police and mayor in one town is corrupt, then all good cops working for them should just stop because the system is corrupt. F everyone else who actually needs legit help because the ones above cops are corrupt… I’m failing to grasp that logic. Everything you know about Garp tells you he does as he pleases. Yet your argument is “he does as he’s told.” Truly boggles the mind.

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

Yeah, I eventually figured that out. Took it too seriously because I know another reactor who actually believes Garp to be abusive due to his dynamic with Luffy

Isabell

gosh I feel so bad for Cannon every time he loses that mid card game

Marcus D

Yeah you could have kept this one quite Fatipapi, it’ll be clarified in next week’s episode anyway lol. probably best to just delete

beannie

the “he sees his crew as…” is a spoiler ngl, you can edit that part out🙏

beannie

that’s very sanji of you dasha🙏 she was iconic too tho

Fatipapi (Byakuya’s Girl)

Please explain what it spoils exactly? Im very curious. Sengoku already said hed never allow anyone to touch a member of his crew and would go to war for any one of them, and we know that Ace refers to him as ‘father’/pops. So he cares a lot about his crew and his crew call him dad. Who’s at the opposite end of a “dad”? Calling this a “spoiler” is mental.

kaylee silver

Before every chapter of the manga there is a one page panel for some side story that isnt whats happening with the main plot, it can be a story about some side character from a previous arc like some adventure buggy is on or in this case, what the crew is up to while luffy does his thing, so these episodes are fleshing out full side stories from like single page or single panel images. so some of the writing is technically noncanon but its fine.

kuza

bro, your saying information in the comment that wasnt yet said in the show, its really as simple as that 😭

Marcus D

None of the cover stories are non canon, all of it is canon, their continuity is confirmed in the main manga down the line. There are cover pages of the manga that have non canon illustrations that are just random art by oda of his own choosing and from reader’s requests but those aren’t ‘cover stories’ they are just cover ‘pages’, which oda differentiates with clear titles whenever he does either of the 2 types of chapter covers.

Nonos

I just kinda think the comment is a bit unnecessary anyways since it will be more clarified literally in the next episode lol but not the biggest deal

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

You’re giving untold insights on the relationship that Whitebeard has with his crewmates. This is something watchers discover later to realize the depth of their relationship. Everything you’ve said, is stated later on as the story unfolds. Since it hasnt been stated yet, then it’s a spoiler.

Fatipapi (Byakuya’s Girl)

Spoiler (noun) : a description of an important plot development in a television show, film, or book which if previously known may reduce surprise or suspense for a first-time viewer or reader . Just dropping this since people here seem to forget the actual meaning of the word and just throw it at any and everything. If you think it was an unnecessary addition because its said next episode, then just say that. But dont come here jumping on my dick saying im spoiling the geks. Ace literally calls him dad. Its even translated as FATHER. Basically, the show gave us 1+1, and ive commented 2. Thats not spoiling.

kuza

just so ignorant and wrong 😭😭

Marcus D

New drinking game, take a drink whenever: -Carter hates on thriller bark -the couch mentions Shanks getting de-limbed by a sea king -Cannon losing the midcard game Guaranteed tipsy by the end of the video at the minimum (Cannon will be carrying though)😂😭

kosoihas

thats the thing though, he keeps staying with the marines and he does nothing for change. imo thats even worse. anyone who sees how unjust and corrupt the system is should’ve done what dragon did because you can’t change the system from within, you just simply can’t

Nanami's Wife

There was little no mistranslation😭😭 There's a reason why the show left it on a cliffhanger after he said "father" for the audience to guess what he means by that. You should definitely edit out your comment, it's a spoiler that's explained later

Marcus D

She’s been watching too many shojo anime that even Luffy changed into the classic 00s shojo male love interest character design😂

kaylee silver

I never said any of the stories were non canon, some of the writing to flesh out dialogue in these stories are not in the manga, that writing is technically a new invention of the anime.

Szonin

It's a spoiler because it literally gets clarified next episode. It's just a cliffhanger by Toei.

Szonin

We are so ready for One Piece!

relyct

Should add: McKay calling out Robin, even if she's not there haha

relyct

Fatipapi is right: It's no spoiler and was alr mentionend in Ep. 434/Ch. 316, with the crew calling WB's "pops/dad/father". The scene in the end was a filler by Toei, but in fact was alluding to Whitebeard as his figure was in the back while Ace said that.

Arely

One piece Saturday? 🙈

Saint

that would be epic

CatchyGhost

t took me way too long to realize that the moon was his goal the whole time (the endless vearth). I always assumed he just meant he was going to the planet down below, and that he was going to be so disappointed when it was actually almost entirely water.

Marcus D

Yeah i missed you mentioning “these episodes”, my apologies.

1804

The filler goat for a reason

Natacha

Then you should hate every marine too, like Koby, Smoker or Aokiji (even more). Y’all are hating Garp when we actually haven’t seen anything from his perspective, what his story, why is he a marine, we don’t know shit bc Oda hasn’t shown anything yet, except that Garp hates the celestial dragon publicly, doesn’t want to obey them and he teaches the new generation of marines who are part of a certain elite team.

kosoihas

i am proud to say that i hate every marine! YES even koby, aokiji and all the other “tuff” marine this fandom loves to glaze

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

I believe anything good is worth having (in this case, Garp, Koby, etc). Doesn’t matter if the core was made from what’s bad (Celestial Dragons, Elder Stars, etc). As long as the good keeps building on more good, it’ll spread and remain to thrive until the bad is eradicated. Doing otherwise is the equivalent of giving up because something seems impossible. Dragon, in essence, has found his own sense of justice and is actively going against the WG. Garp, in essence, is for everyday people who fall prey to all kinds of criminals, which includes most pirates. Then you have marines like Kizaru who are truly dogs of the WG, others like Aokiji who have more nuance and others like Saul who quit because the injustice was too much to bear and that led him to try and save Robin. But without Aokiji’s nuance, Robin wouldn’t have escaped more than once. There isn’t only one good or one bad way to look at it. At least that’s how I perceive things. And I don’t believe that because you don’t see something, it means it doesn’t exist. Unless we’ve seen Garp violate civilians under WG orders like Sakazuki at Ohara, we can only speculate on what Garp does or doesn’t do. I haven’t heard or seen proof that shows Garp is bad in any way, shape or form. He is good within the bad. That’s all there is to it.

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

Yeah @Natacha, the hate on Garp is truly staggering to me, especially in an anime as layered as One Piece that has shown time and time again that there’s always more than what meets the eye.

kosoihas

sure on a personal level there can be a lot of nuance, but as an org marines are 100% evil. and on garp, him being an active participant in this organisation makes him complicit in the crimes of it. he may never have done any bad to others but he CHOOSES to close his eyes whenever WG pulls some diabolical stuff on innocent people. as long as it doesn’t affect him personally, he doesn’t care. he is a coward in my eyes and thats it.

Natacha

Tell me you haven’t read the last manga chapter without telling me

kosoihas

did he do it for the people or did he do it to please his ego?

Luli Deferrari

canon zoros lips were dry thats why they look like that

Matt Haloostock

Robin's destination is literally the most depressing thing in the whole verse.

Matt Haloostock

I was reviewing the manga chapters the other day to compare the pacing (for my own curiosity mainly) and came across that line and got legit goosebumps. It goes hard

Kayanolive

Im starving for another drop

Rayanh Shequinah Nansha

Or, in addition to his ego running amok—like it does for many of the goated characters in this like Luffy—did he not also do it because they looked like monsters that needed to be eradicated and he didn’t give af who they were? That last statement of yours made your arguments flop and that’s enough for me to drop this back and forth here.

TrueCrisp

Live action season 2 release date is confirmed!! March 10th 2026!!

Adeeb Alothman

i can't guys 4 ep a week is hard with this peak

snoobcat

One piece anime will get 26 episodes max per year starting march 2026. W news since it will surely have better pacing while covering the same content !

Nanami's Wife

Am I the only one crashing out of the 26 episodes a year update??? I’m glad for better pacing trust me, but damn at what cost. It’s good news but it’s bad news for me LMAO😔😔 Imma have 6 months without one piece?? No more all year round??😔😔 I’m already having withdrawals. Them episodes better be 40mins-1hour long and each episode better be have movie quality😭😭 Update: apparently they’re keeping the pacing the same, so still one chapter each episode…….huh🧍🏾‍♀️ We went from 40 episodes a year to now 26 and it’s with the same pacing 💔 We need a new animation studio, Toei hasn’t been cutting it man

Rajit Sharma

When did they announce this?

Mitch

I’m ngl this news is probably the best thing to EVER happen to the one piece community. The pacing has legitimately been an issue for 15+ years and now we finally are getting it fixed. It almost feels too good to be true i honestly gave up all hope that this would happen.

Nanami's Wife

I know it’s not the “worst” news, but I’m just trying to cope rn😭😭 I’m excited for better pacing and stuff but it hurts to go from watching 26 episodes per day to 26 episodes per year😔😂. I hope that they at least do movies, especially for “G__ V_____” It’s need a budget even bigger than demon slayer tbh. But for now, I’m just sad of our episodes getting cut. Idk how to feel abt it yet. Plus this means one piece won’t finish until wayyy later😭

Soof

Even tho this is anime only too, I do hope that Oda takes more time off, the anime rn is so close to the manga and it would be better for him not to feel pressured or need to rush(which he probably isn’t feeling) but overall I do hope that this does help the anime get better in every category and gives Oda more time to take off and write more peak!

Nanami's Wife

No yeah I fully agree!! I hope Oda gets all the time and rest he needs. I wouldn’t want for him to overwork himself more, I’m glad that’s another good reason for this change is more time for him🩷

Seda

i heard they’re still only adapting one chapter per episode, so will the pacing even be that much better?😓atp i’ve accepted whatever the pacing is going to be, i’m just worried about losing more voice actors, especially luffy’s

Nanami's Wife

Wait really?? That’s crazy, I thought the point of cutting episodes was to change the pacing. You're right about the voice actors, if they keep prolonging the show then I'm scared of them having to retired soon. I'm happy we still have the manga tho, but I feel bad for anime-only people

wanira 11

Thank the lord, this story deserves a quality adaptation :)

Reeko

They are still only adapting one chapter per episode so im personally still a litttle worried…

yeehawgal

yall are finally starting my favorite arc

Zess

It's because Oda has slowed down the manga, and Toei cant keep their same tv spot running "specials" no one wants to see in between episodes multiple times in a row for weeks lol for once, it's actually not the studios fault. But it isn't Oda's either because the man has been GRINDING. It's just what has to be done to give enough time between the show and the manga. At least this means we will get a really nice budget per episode with time and patience being done for them.

Ninaly

robins arc is actually some of my favourite anime-only content thats been put out for one piece, youre right in that shes the perfect character for the deeper and more impactful parts of the show

Marcus D

Yeah I was shocked when I found out the girl was anime only. It’s a pretty good side story

kinji

The song playing in the beginning of usopps scene is a straw hat song! I never noticed before. It's an instrumental version of Thousand Sunny Go
