W Outro. As for your hot take Canon, it’s fine, it’s understandable but just wait 😊

1nonlynox

I LISTENED UNTIL THE END I SWEAR !!

1nonlynox

us one piece fans would love to hear how you guys feel about another one piece week or if you even have been thinking about it at all

Nonos

Yessssssir Carter my goat

Noah

The Ivan pulse check is not a gag. The context needed to understand that scene is found much later in the show.

sil 🧸ྀི

carter don’t play with me like this 😭😭😭🥺

L1Lt03NA1L

At 20:00, the vibe switch was crazy

Mauricio.

GANBARE MUGI-CHAN!

Dounia

You indeed know nothing…yet. My hot take is I simultaneously like and despise listening to your takes 😭. I have such a strong love for this show that it’s hard to accept criticism for it. But the reasonable part of me understands. Don’t speculate too much though you’re not even halfway there! And btw saying “garbage arc” was harsh 🥲

Maria

We need another one piece week asap 😭

Kuro

so close to peak

forthwanderer

a quarter zip of what??? my mind went straight to something else...

wadad sk

I love these arcs but yea the buggy and 3 had me skipping scenes, literal waste of screen time

Kuro

I feel like you guys would appreciate Impel down A LOT more after Marineford, its drags heavily at the moment since you're awaiting ace's execution, but it's honestly such a great setup for moments to come, and without it, Marineford wouldn't be as heavy hitting as it has a reputation of.

Gorira Kujira

Bon Clay and Ivankov are goated, can't wait for you guys to see more of the peak to come

Ante

I was getting cooked last drop for saying what Mckay said at the end here. McKay is my spirit animal it seems. But for what its worth like Cannon said, One Piece does have a way of surprising.

Sabrina99

Please react to Normal People or One Day!

wanira 11

Carter are you gonna give us a second one piece week? 😏 I did not forget it was your idea the first time :D

T.Yaseen

Bon boy what a lad🫡

Nic ☦︎

this is where we turn up letsgooo

wanira 11

Honestly Impel Down having a whole ass city underneath their levels without them noticing is kinda hilarious 😂 like how did they not notice all the food that went missing lmao

Ben Everest

Give Jimbie some time to cook for sure

Sasha Ruple

There are literally more anime episodes for Impel Down than there are manga chapters lmao. And the chapters are only like 23ish pages.

Carter D. Andrus

I don’t think that’s a hot take at all😂 I’m just glad you can set aside the emotion and understand logically

wanira 11

GAMBAREEEEEE 🗣🗣🗣 I love Bon Chan so much man ❤

farkzzy

unc please mf is only around 30 eps if you binge please pace it right for yourselves so you dont get tired like ennies lobby we will take anything

Ante

To be fair Cannon, what aura can Jinbei farm trapped in a 2 by 4 cell. Dude is working with what he got.

Kuro

That’s a very fair take, I think since obviously most of us have watched Marineford, the setup of the characters that come into play, that will also have huge roles in Marineford, and the events that are about to take place in impel down is what makes impel down and Marineford a 2 in 1 arc. They’re obviously very different but tie in together as Marineford advances, and yeah, you guys might not feel the same after all is done, but I have a small feeling you guys will appreciate what its role is and what it’s trying to setup, despite the arc being extremely slow.

farkzzy

I mean hindsight aside I think hes been pretty likeable so far. hes just chopping it up with ace and comforting him

Mags

Totally felt the same way about Jimbe at this point of the story

E L

Same opinion canon on Jinbei

Niko

here to defend my "next 100 episodes are peak" claim - I will definitely admit that because this is a rewatch for me, everything is a lot better. I'm just more attached to the characters because I know where they end up in the future + I've had more time to engage with them, so even the lows of buggy and mr 3 are really funny for me, like i've loved every episode of this arc. BUT i can definitely see how, if I put myself in the shoes of a first time watcher such as yall, that this arc definitely starts a little stinky. That I concede. I think when I said next 100 episodes I was lowkey thinkin about myself on the rewatch vibe not realizing the gags you guys would have to be introduced to for the first time😭 HOWEVER I definitely believe that from this episode on, its like straight heat, and ESPECIALLY the next arc will make up for so much of the early slog here!

Fatipapi (Byakuya’s Girl)

Lmao cannon, obviously you dont get the Jimbei hype because like u said, he hasnt done shit yet 😂 not a hot take at all

jrnoodles

Thank you! It's escaping time!

Mags

I also think the fact that most of the watchers here were binging a lot of this, when you guys have a week of 4 episodes that kind of drag/are more setup it can feel a lot more spaced out, when a majority of the people in the comments watched this arc, 4 episodes was just a portion of what they were watching that day lol so 4 episodes of setup feels like a far lesser chunk than it being a week of content

cade-carter

...Impel down is my favorite arc v.v Im sorry yall arent as into it

Guremaru

MORE DROPS RN!! I NEED THEM ALL!!

Pace

Carter pls switch to One Pace for the rest of Impel down. Let Mckay's comments at the end be a testament as to why One PACE is necessary. Those scenes that pained him the most were literally filler - especially those long sequences with buggy and Mr 3 in the previous episodes were Toei's padding. (Those scenes that u kept mistaking for Oda setting those characters up for smth big- but it’s just padding) If you look at the manga chapters for this arc, its crazy how much Toei stretched it to infinity. 4 episodes a week = 3.4 manga chapters - try making any arc good with that filler bloated pacing. It slows it down to a crawl. Thats how much the story is diluted with mediocrity and destroys its reputation...

Pace

4 episodes a week = 3.4 manga chapters - no wonder. Toeis pacing is diabolical

Nash

That’s why as a manga reader it’s so painful to hear McKay calling it garbage 😂

Sherya

All of us want, I hope they make it 6 eps per week at least

Harley

my nuanced take on impel down is that one pace makes it better

Maj

Yeah, that’s what confused me in the comments during Sabaody. I had no idea why everyone kept saying we’ve got 100 episodes of peak coming up. This arc was a drag for me the first time I watched it aside from a few really cool moments, and it’s still a drag for me on this rewatch.

forthwanderer

my thoughts exactly, in the manga this arc is elite. a top tenner forsure

Pace

Only if you use One Pace

Pace

Toei’s fillers is what drags it down significantly. One pacing it is closer to manga experience

Pace

Pls use one pace

BH

I listen to the end of every of video, I actually wish you guys kept going sometimes or didn’t cut off so soon. I enjoy the friendly banter y’all have

Zipzzty

W early drop

BH

Please listen to the people saying switch to One Pace for Impel Down. It is the studio extending and adding scenes that is hurting your enjoyment. 🙏

KrispyKenny

i mean we did tell u guys this arc has 16 eps worth of filler so the "trash arc" take isn't really that surprising in the end most of us still liked the arc but if u guys dont and one pace woulda made it better its a shame but at least u get the same exp as us

EmlovesOP

The pacing def not the best but we warned yall. But i love the characters we getting. The queer love as well.

Pudding

To be fair, very hot take, and I'm insisting that this is only my opinion and experience, but I don't think there's such a thing as '100 straight episodes of peak' in all of One Piece. In every arc (unless it's really short), there's always a point where stuff is dragging or scenes are repetitive. That's just One Piece and you either get used to it or don't (but I tend to remember those past arcs with fondness, usually, because the peak moments carry it for me, still, it's true that it feels different when you actually watch it). That said, to me, I feel like Impel Down is not too bad. Idk if One Pace would solve that, I'm not familiar with it, but it'll probably be better than without it.

McKay Carter

I was definitely exaggerating, not garbage but not amazing either

Benjamin Knock

To be fair any show that goes on for 100 episodes is bound to have some uninteresting ones

Pudding

Also true

Pace

Yup One pace definitely helps by cutting out isolated padding wherever it can which brings it closer to the manga so it’s create for most arcs. It can’t cure all of toei’s slow ass animation and drag that’s mixed in, only the Wit Studio Remake can do that

Nonos

I wasn’t really one of the people saying the next 100 episodes were gonna be straight peak cuz those ppl should know that the moments they’re thinking about, still takes some patience and build up to get to within the whole stretch, but impel down as a whole is still a good arc. Curious how you’ll feel once finishing the whole arc. To me it’s definitely better than Amazon lily which you guys like so much. There’s more stakes, characters coming back, build up to marineford and more juicy stuff in the arc that just gets mixed with some silly/annoying stuff that depends on the person if they can tolerate or not. I’m just excited yall getting closer to marineford where I can confidently get behind the hype…and just having a slimmer hope of a possible Marineford binge🙏🏽 Anyway W reaction

McKay Carter

Don’t worry guys I’m not holding this against Oda or the show, I think i was just super excited/dreading the Ace execution and the tone felt very serious and now it’s been put off with a lot of gags and jokes/filler which makes the arc not feel as emotional or important like the previous did. Even the execution countdown doesn’t feel imposing because it’s show right after a goofy 3 and Buggy scene. All that aside I know that the we are close to peak so I’m super pumped, just giving my real thoughts in real time!

farkzzy

its a much better stretch in the manga but no clue why people were saying that especially knowing the geks

zoro's enma

Mckay I agree with you, impel down kinds trash 😂 I loved the good moments but its not even my top 10 arcs

Ella

bon clay and luffy’s bond is one of my favorites in the show. also, y’all gotta believe us a bit when we’re talking about the pacing issue of certain arcs 😭

JayCnY

Common W McKay take.

Pace

If you do switch - you are half way through episode 7 of one pace - there’s 3 more one pace episodes to go of this arc compared to 16 more to go in the original anime lol

Adeeb Alothman

No it’s not a hot take you guys didn’t see him do anything

Vinny Deluca

not really, he grows on you over time but he can be very jarring at first lol

farkzzy

always give your real thoughts just blame 95% of it on toei 🙏

Promanex(Alex)

I respect your opinion, I don’t have the same opinion but I am glad you are honest and vocal about your opinion 👍

Pace

16 epsidoes more to go OR 3 if you use one pace 🤷‍♂️

Maj

Real thoughts only round here lad, that's why we rock with you guys!

wanira 11

I recently watched a big part of this arc one paced with my brother (who is on his first time watch) and it definitely felt way tighter. It has been really interesting seeing the difference because it's so fresh in my memory now. I was surprised at how many of the buggy and mr 3 was filler

beannie

can’t expect less from my goat🙏

Chris Schwirz

McKay gonna eat his words about buggy I just know it

Maj

Yeah I can imagine this being much better in the manga tbf

Hype

Mckay don't let Toei pacing get to you about this arc. It's peak in the manga trust but yeah the over repeated jokes get hard to watch. I think you'll turn around on this arc and maybe not love it but still like it by the end. I mean you could do 6 episodes a week and get to peak of peaks faster if you really wanted too I guess....

beannie

I love the way Ivan talks so much lmao

Chris Schwirz

Impel down isn’t my fav it’s def good but it’s also unreal setup. Plus still lot of arc to go

Nonos

Keep being real. you’re so harsh it’s funny but understandable 😂

Justin ⟢

We’re so close yet so far…

Nash

3 more? That’s actually nuts 😭 they should just watch those 3 one pace episodes and finish this arc by next week 😭

Hugh

If only they one paced it 😭😭

ROSS

yall still in aot season 1 ima be honest

AdustNinee

Day 11 of asking for more One Piece, but I have a feeling.

Nic ☦︎

We did tell yall that this arc does drag and for the hype to stay throughout this whole stretch it would have been good to use one pace for this arc. The good news we are now pretty much out out of that slump for the remainder of the arc.

SavDog23

Pudding

3 INSTEAD OF 16 HOLYYY WHAT

Pudding

They're learning the hard way

Tom

The Buggy Me 3. stuff is filler, FYI

Pudding

I have a feeling too...soon...for Marineford....

Tom

This is the reason I recommend One Pace for Impel Down, the Buggy Mr. 3 stuff is filler, the anime adds loads of unfunny jokes, and Toei didn't pull the tone shift off like the manga did when Magellan dropped in. In the Manga from that point onwards the tone gets very dark, until Iva's intro and Luffy's recovery. it's a 8.5 to 9 in the manga in the anime it's like a 6.5

beannie

the things I want to say about bon chan… my absolute DEAREST, him and luffy are truly the definition of friendship cannon had the fondest smile while watching him in ep 440, my goat fr

Dasha

One piece is actually written by Ivan “Look I’m about to kill this guy……. OR NOT” “This character is….. FINE”

Diable Jambe Flores

Btw: There’s NOT 16 left. There’s 11 left in Impel Down.

Kite

bon GOAT

Dasha

Not McKay asking about Luffy’s and Ace’s mom right before the next episodes😂 the timing couldn’t be better

Promanex(Alex)

Marineford is peak but they do sneak some joke moments here and there as well, so don’t have too high hope and think the whole arc is going to be 100% serious ig, and impel down are probably gonna be some peak moments mixed with terrible moments with the joke moments, this is my predictions judging from you guys tastes I guess

Cade

Nice try on the mid cards boys, win some lose most... cant wait for what's to come! all about the journey not the destination

Dasha

I’m totally fine with McKay getting annoyed by goofy characters and jokes, and I’m just as fine with Cannon being overly disgusted by a booger. Still what makes me happy is having Carter in the mix as someone who isn’t as hyped as everyone else during the big moments, but is also unfazed by the “bad” ones and always stays locked in. I love how different all your reactions are and that none of you try to fake it or hide how you really feel. Sure sometimes I get a little upset when something doesn’t click for you, but honestly if you were laughing when the show is trying to be funny, or if you were sad only when the show told you to be sad, or if you forced yourself to tolerate things you find annoying, you wouldn’t be my favorite reaction channel ❤️

SavDog23

You'll only need 10 hours of time to get through Marineford. Whichever way you watch it, there are plenty of great moments throughout the arc to end a watch session. Let us (or Jack) know if you need episode grouping ideas, happy to help.

Riksu

A lot of people are wishing for One Pace, and I can understand the reasoning. Toei’s padding does dilute the show a lot, some arcs more than others. However, it’s not a holistically better choice, but rather a tradeoff. While you cut out all of the padding and dumb filler, you also remove the ”adaptation” from the anime. One Pace deliberately cuts out pretty much everything not in the manga, so inevitably some amazing anime original scenes will also be cut. By watching One Pace, it’ll almost be like you’re watching the manga rather than an anime adaptation of the manga. I’m not saying one is inherently better than the other, just that it’s something to consider.

21:30 W To Be Continued Card

SavDog23

The "100 episodes of peak" take really means "100 episodes of peak story telling", rather than "100 peak episodes in a row". It's not gonna be 100 straight 9.5+ episodes, but the experience as a whole will be incredible. And this generational run of storytelling actually started with Kuma vs Strawhats in Ep 375 and will continue until the early 500s. Has Oda not been cooking with the end of Thriller Bark, Sabaody, Amazon Lily, and a decent chunk of Impel Down? The best is yet to come.

You should hold it against the show tho. It’s the anime’s fault, the manga is a lot better with this type of stuff

It's actually either 180 minutes of OG (11 eps) or 130 minutes of One Pace (3.5 eps). You are misleading people with those numbers.

Live action Jimbei (Orkahs)

Your expectations wouldnt be unfullfilled, If some people, i mean assholes, in these comment sections would stop commenting:,, peak from here on, next 100 episodes are the best ect." We get it, we all watched the show, we all know what will happen. Thats why most people keep quit so you (Geks) can enjoy the episodes and sometimes get caught offguard when peak is happening. But some morons made it their life work to spoil this kind of stuff with those stupid comments.

LETS GOOO

GG Sosa

mckay is lying he loves buggy

Hugh

Look at mckay acting up now his favorite character boa isn’t on screen anymore for him to goon to

Hard-B0iled

Appreciate the real thoughts! Impel down is still a great arc for me so I don't fully agree, but totally understand how you feel. I think you'll def enjoy the next few episodes!

Hiyori

yeah. im afraid that they will be disappointed because it seems like they have really high expectations. marineford is well written. it is good. its also my favorite arc up to whole cake island ( i just finished it) but i am afraid that it won't go in the way they want 😓

Pace

@SavDog23 It’s 11 not 16 but that’s still 220 mins vs 3.5 Pace episodes that are 110 total mins so your cutting out over 100mins. So the point remains. & had they started it from the beginning it would of been much more cut out

Pace

Cutting out Toei filler is not really questionable, maybe their editing is not always the best. But the benefits far outwoutweigh all that

Vinsmoke Pudding

I like buggy and mr.3. but one of my reasons that I don't wanna see them here is that I don't want any fun without our crew. It's fine to be in dark till our crew is back. about goofiness,it didn't felt that bad when i first watched it cause i binged the arc. But I can understand your frustration.

Pace

We do consider that but the point remains that the benefits FAR outweigh any of the downsides. Going forward one pace is far more necessary. People straight up hate arcs without it

Pace

@diablejamebeflores, still diabolical

Error445

I can relate to your first take on this arc. It was definitely not a stand out for me and I didn’t understand why some people had this so high on their lists… However, After being caught up with one piece for many years now and haven rewatched most arcs via yt reaction. I feel I can confidently say it’s a good arc. Standard good arc. I’d actually personally say it’s a very good. Somewhere in between ‘very good’ and ‘great’ but maybe not quite there yet 🤔 Wouldn’t be mad at a ‘great arc’ tho and wouldn’t be the someone who’d argue it wasn’t part of the peak run. Unless in a discourse where we’re being 100% objective and nit picky etc etc but for the most part you know what I mean. Anyways - 7.9 (my objective rating) -8.4 (my low-mid level op glaze rating) (For a reference, I find myself siding with carters take on most anime openings. Take that as you will lol) My main take away would be: - I don’t blame you for the view on where we’re at right now - You will like it more each week going forward. Definitely a shift in intensity and stakes Best way to leave it is I think is to end of by saying this: I don’t remember which among you said it before. But I’m it’s one of those one piece arc that starts of really good, has a weakish middle and annoying parts but then concludes really peak. Makes you forget about all the bs that happened lmao

Carlos

That’s not a hot take you haven’t seen Jinbei do anything and impel down was horrrible for me 1st watch it has its moments but it definitely gets better after this but rewatch has been ehhh I haven’t seen the one pace version but I’m sure it would’ve been better

Carlos

Idk who the hell lied to yall talking about 100 episodes of peak I was laughing when I heard that😭 Don’t worry Geks the peak will be served soon when idk but soon

love the realness

Mr. John Kagurabachi

When I’m in an HR violation cheating tournament and my opponent is Jack and my boss Blonde Blazer 🤯

Riksu

Eh, you can say the benefits outweigh the downsides, but that’s all subjective. If you just look at the couch, there are four people who all prefer different things. Fact is that we can say ”One Pace is needed for this part” only because we have the benefit of hindsight. But just because some people prefer cutting out certain scenes or emotional beats, it doesn’t make that any more objectively true. SPOILERS BELOW Sure, I don’t need to see a minute of back and forth between Luffy and Jimbei staring at each other, but I also don’t want to cut out the hilarious magical girl transformation into the wax armor. I agree that a lot of people, even most, prefer some One Pace arcs way more than the original (Dressrosa being a prime example). But one of the biggest talking points is also the fact that when people catch up with the weekly schedule, whether it be via One Pace or not, most will say ”this is not enough, I need more”. Even going back to the Gek’s reactions to Thriller Bark, where they used One Pace, a lot of people were upset that they missed on some of the funnier bits.

Mal

W outro. Most of this arc is unfortunately such a drag in the anime and kills a lot of the momentum gained from Saboady and Amazon Lilly. There has been 14 manga chapters of Impel Down so far inclusive of these episodes which could be done in 6-8 episodes with proper pacing, instead of the 16 episodes it's been filler inserted and padded out to be. I understand the decision to watch regularly but one pace easily would've made this a better experience

Mitch

Great way to describe it. 375-500 is undisputed the best span of eps in the series bar none. Of course there’s some slow moments and weak eps, but that span as a whole is peak anime without question.

Mitch

My goat

Carter D. Andrus

I still get confused by this notion that I don’t get as hype as everyone else during big moments😂😂

Arely

Honestly, I don't mind the jokes and silliness because they have a special kind of humor that I love. Besides, OP is a story that builds slowly, not every episode is shocking or crucial, but they always contribute something to the plot. Other anime with a darker tone and better pacing are intense, and I love them too, but they don't last long. For a long-term experience, OP is the best.

Pace

FMI pretty much proves majority of people subjectively hate toei’s butchering. I mean the whole story is getting a remake from scratch for these reasons. Pacing is a problem no matter how subjective the taste

Carter D. Andrus

Haha it’s a group decision to not use one pace right now

Luli Deferrari

THE MIC IS ACTUALLY CLOSER TO MKEY AND IT WORKED

Pace

Yea but can the group high-key rethink its decision 😂

Luli Deferrari

guys PLS STOP hypping arcs so that they enjoy em better. when u watched one piece u didnt know what to expect from the arc so they should experience the same.

Luli Deferrari

i ginged this arc so fast so i could get to marineford AND know what is going on

Pace

Yall ain’t ready for the wild profile pic ideas I have for Marineford era. It will be peak 😏

Mags

Wanted to add to this, this wasnt meant to be critisism or a complaint that yall arent watching enough one piece, just something ive noticed a bit across the board when it comes to OP reactions

cozo

cannon the reason people like jimbe is cus they've just seen way more of his character, obviously you aren't expected to love him when he's barely just been introduced and hasn't done anything yet 😭

cozo

impel down slows down the streak of peak episodes but then you get marineford and EVERY episode is cinema so it balances out

Zipzzty

He so tuff

Mitch

Yea that’s like the most lukewarm take ever, we’ve only been introduced to him for like 10 episodes and he’s had a total of 2 conversations lol

cozo

S tier? 😭

Mitch

Marineford is very mid and overated guys please don’t get hyped for it, it is really not that good.

Riksu

Never said it’s not. I’m saying it’s a tradeoff, and everyone likes different things, so there’s no one correct or necessary way to use either. Use One Pace to get good pacing, but lose some of the soul and heart of the anime in the process.

E

I’m ngl this arc just isn’t that good imo a lot of ppl overrate it.

ahmad

Yea it's garbage.

ahmad

It's a tradeoff for sure and varies from arc to arc. It's cool if people just want to stick to the OG anime but I really wish they'd understand that not everyone enjoys the added padding and ESPECIALLY filler. It's wild to me that an arc like Impel Down can go from being highly praised in the manga/pace to being called garbage/trash because of the added padding and filler.

geto’s left sock

29:07 “Who’s his mother?” we are soooo close to the mom agenda

ahmad

The anime adaptation of this arc is mid. I don't think your opinions of it would have changed even if people didn't hype it up for you.

Sozin

we should set the bar lower imo lol, the huge hype always sets reactors expectations way too high

Sozin

when most people first watch it they dont expect every single episode to be cinema. they should experience it for themselves imo

Sozin

one pace just isnt needed for this arc, its so short as is imo. people are eager for the next arcs, which i get, but sometimes its better to let them experience things for themselves. believe it or not some peoples favorite arcs are some slower ones. let them decide what they like and stop rushing them thru what we dont like. Inaki Godoy the actor who plays Luffy in the live action, one of his favorite arcs is long ring with foxy lmao. most people say thats the worst arc in the whole anime. People are different and like different things! Let them choose

Sozin

and i agree, one pace cuts out too much. the adaptation still needs to make sense

Riksu

ahmad, It’s the internet, you don’t have to take every hyperbole literally. What I’m arguing against is people telling others how they should enjoy the shows they watch. No one needs a biased third party dictating what to skip or not.

Sozin

i disagree personally, the benfits dont outweigh the downsides. its a fan edit and they have no clue what Oda has planned and whats important to emphasize. You can speak to people who have watched one piece entirely through one pace and they lack or just dont remember so many little bits of info that are relevant later on. I swear at times its reminiscent of people who watch one piece through Insta reels lol. This world is so fleshed out and intricate, probably more than any other anime, i think having the story fully make sense in every way far outweighs any saved time. especially when its one of the best anime ever and you only have one first time watching. Save one pace for rewatching imo. also one pace has mild spoilers because they edit in flashback scenes from hundreds of eps later, in place of the originals, just for higher quality animations.

Pace

Hot take: post marineford is the best part

The issue with "100 episodes of peak" is that people just remember all the highlights from these episodes because that's what stands out in your memory. The Buggy/Mr. 3 stuff I don't know if anyone loves, but I don't mind it, like I'm not bothered to see them, but for those of us who have been watching One Piece for decades at this point it's like watching a rerun of a show on TV (in the age of streaming will younger people even know what that means?). Some things you're just stockholm'ed into casually enjoying. On the other hand if you're still newer to One Piece and you're just looking for that peak everywhere then yeah they're gonna feel like that annoying thing dragging the show out from showing you what you really want, so I get that. It's that or more literal Warden shit so pick your poison (heh).

SavDog23

The crashouts in the comments because of Buggy D Goat and Galdino's shenanigans are so funny 😂. Their duo is literally Dumb and Dumber so I understand the humour might not be hitting for some, but outside of their team-up with Bon Clay in ep 437, they've only been on-screen for 10 minutes in the last 7 episodes (~140 minutes). It's not like they're taking up half the screen time of every episode.

biscuit man

yep the chat cried when they did it a bit in thriller bark but you can tell by them sarcastically slapping their knees everytime a gag happens they clearly dont enjoy it even though I love buggy and dont mind the vice warden if anything sadie makes me cringe more but they should just do one pace instead of complaining every ep also these two episodes were very good and there were multiple times they were hyped with ivankov and luffy interactions, ace and set up happening so Im not sure I understand their disdain

SavDog23

True, Marineford is literally filler compared to Long Ring Long Land.

Enma

From an interview with Oda back in 2018. "Q: Mr. Oda, what does Luffy mean to you? Oda: Luffy is my ideal child. I wish all children could be like him. He may say some inspirational lines from time to time, but I want him to stay a kid forever. There are parts of him that remain a mystery to me, for better or worse. It’d be boring for both the readers and me if I knew everything about him. Q: Please tell us your favorite characters. Oda: I like drag queens like Ivankov and Bon Clay. [redacted due to spoilers]. There’s always a funny dichotomy between their actions and their appearance, which makes me want to draw them more. I also adore Buggy, who’s annoying yet cunning."

Marcus D

That’s cool never saw that one. Also it’s worth noting that oda wants to emulate shanks irl as much as possible, I’m assuming he thinks shanks is cool lol. He even got shanks’ iconic pants custom made and usually wears them when he does interviews lol.

Marcus D

Yeah. It’s just people who can’t handle experiencing something they’re not fond of for more than one instance I guess. It’s some of my least favourite stuff in one piece but people are just making a big fuss for nothing.

Ulises Flores(Uliee.)

I dont know if you guys noticed but Jinbeis voice/voice actor changed, this is because the original voice actor passed away. I just want to say RIP to Daisuke Gouri the original voice actor 🕊️

Dale Cooper

Impel down is so much better than the maiden island arc. I don't get any hate or guff from this arc. You have peak fights and mid-lows but the arc isn't near enough low when compared to others. To be honest I think this arc is more fun than the next on a re-watch or re-read.

Enma

🤣🤣 I assume you're talking about those red pants

Nanami's Wife

There hasn't been one arc in One Piece that doesn't have at least some goofy gags, so I get confused why we're surprised when the tone would shift from serious to goofy when that's been the whole show. Oda has stated his desire to write what he finds interesting and fun, actively trying to subvert reader expectations that battle manga must be consistently serious. He balances serious themes with lightheartedness. Yes, Toei sometimes stretches it out, which could be a hit or a miss, it definitely depends (I have personally beef with Toei for other things). But I feel like for this show, you know One Piece doesn't fail when it's time to get serious. We can go from a funny gag of Sanji and Zoro beefing to them both sacrificing their life for their captain. We can go from the reveal of Duval to us encountering Celestial Dragons and more corruption. We can go from Luffy having a funny sequence with Buggy, Mr. 3, and Bon Clay entering level 4 to later Luffy fighting everything he has with Magellan and ending up almost dying if it wasn't for Bon Clay. The " 100+ episodes of peak" people were saying means good storytelling nonstop. I do agree we should stop overly saying peak so the Geks won't have a certain expectation. But again, with One Piece you know when it's time to get serious it's damn good. As soon as you hear "Kaizokuō Ni Ore Wa Naru!" it's time to lock in I understand other perspectives, but I don’t think filler or even the gags that some think is “bad” overweighs how good this arc is. Granted we’re not done yet, so I’ll leave that to the future.

Hugh

So how do they make the cuts better? Make new scenes so they flow better 😂😂

Promanex(Alex)

Nah bro they will for sure be disappointed at the joke scenes but for sure they will enjoy the good moments. Just hope they don’t have too high of expectations and don’t let the joke scenes ruined the arc for them

Marcus D

Really? Do a lot of people skip the outros? I listen to them fully every-time, part of the main reason I tune in to every op upload. I’d actually be less inclined to watch if you didn’t do them, I was actually lowkey upset when you guys stopped them for a bit during alabasta haha. Keep doing them boys always enjoy them and are a good listen,(apart from when McKay and Carter trash on the stuff I love🤬), the longer the better. Keep up the good discussions boys, love it💪.

Marcus D

The reddish black with maroon flower patterns yeah 😂. Exact same pants shanks wore when he met whitebeard lollll. They’re fire though, ngl

Marcus D

Give me Ninja Kamui over Marinfo- ok nah I can’t do that lol

Marcus D

Every episode of marineford is not cinema and it’s my favourite one piece arc. There are some slow portions but it’s not bad.

Jonathan Jimenez

Peak piece begins now. Literally can’t wait for the next batch of episodes

Thomas

The early levels of the prison are kinda mid

Half_-Face

I’m already enjoying this, but it’s kind of hilarious how this type of comment appears on every single One Piece upload they make

Half_-Face

Same shit that happened with Naruto. People forgot that they watched this shit when they were like 13 year olds and everything was so much more exciting to us back then.

Zzz Zzz

;yea the path down in impel down is defently weaker most of the jokes were not hitting but it set up a lot of plot points for the path up this was all set up for whats to come

cozo

@Marcus D i would agree for basically any other one piece arc, marineford isn't my #1 but it's literally all gas no brakes and not a single bad ep imo.

Marcus D

Impel down was written in 2009 I think; and continuously at least one per arc until this very day in 2025, oda still writes something completely unexpected and off base and they’re goated. (☘️)

celery

Wait really?? I thought he sounded different here on my rewatch that’s so sad :(

InitialD

We're in to the real trash arcs from here on, Marineford is gonna be a slog to get through hope yall can get through it. But to be fr people need to stop calling everything peak and hyping up arcs, it just gives others expectations and an idea of how "good" they want the arc to be. It removes that slight blind reaction aspect, so when someone doesn't vibe with said arc it only just ends up making them more disappointed with it, cuz it didn't give what you wanted from the arc.

Marcus D

The wings on the backs of the impel down workers are just a uniform aesthetic. An accessory, not part of their body.

Daveeed

It lost its meaning since its in every comment section :/

Daveeed

Just to be clear, you guys are the ones missing Oda's creativity but that's fine, I still enjoy the reactions even with the L takes.

Hegataro

The level 5 vs level 6 confusion comes from the fact that level 6 is a secret even to the prisoners of impel down - Luffy thought that Ace was on level 5 due to Buggy telling him that that was the lowest level and therefore most likely where he would be held - and is only known of by the people living in Newkama Land and the guards

Marcus D

Wasn’t it just one comment, in one comment section that said the next 100 eps were peak, not multiple?💀

Marcus D

I agree that not a single episode in MF is bad but it doesn’t mean they’re all cinema either.

Marcus D

No need to call them that, some people just let the hype get the better of them. Annoying but, not worthy of that insult

Marcus D

Lookinto D. East

Marcus D

@Mitch As expected of a Kanki enjoyer 😂

kuza

DRAGON

kuza

i dont get how mckay is SO affected by mr 3 and buggy 😭 like sure if u dislike them but its so extreme i feel

kuza

definitely not every upload , this one is somewhat valid

Marcus D

Tbh Jinbei has already done some admirable things; - rejecting his summons as warlords as he would be fighting the man who saved his homeland which results in him losing his beneficial warlord status. -says he’s willing to die to avoid ace dying and Whitebeard going to war So it’s not far fetch at all for people to like Jinbei at this point and unfair to say for everyone it’s due to seeing more. There’s literally a reactor duo that instantly became fond of him after his one convo with ace. But yeah it’s fine if people, like cannon, don’t match that energy.

Hey guys, I think this is my first time commenting! I really like watching people react to my favourite shows and one day while I was on a road trip your “ Anime haters watch one piece for 12 hours straight “ video just popped up and i enjoyed it and really liked you guys, after that i started binging all your reactions until I finally caught up to the weekly Patreon uploads when you guys were in Thriller Bark. I love One Piece so much, but as a person im not that fan of most of the show’s gags especially since most of the time they get dragged out because of toei studio let alone the filler they add. So while catching up not just because of those said scenes only but also cause because i would like to get every minute possible of you guys reacting to the show i thought about writing to you guys so many times to point out that you should please use One Pace and Other times I've thought about asking why you don't just increase the number of episodes you watch a week. I've also often wondered if you'd ever do a 'One Piece Week.' I've always had these ideas bouncing around personally as i said i had these ideas for months, really wanting you guys to shake up your schedule and now that we're getting close to Marineford, a lot of people are asking for the exact same thing so it would make sense for me to agree with them but for the exact same reason, i don’t. My reason for that is is we all stuck it out and watched through all the different arcs and the inconsistent pacing and we still enjoyed and for me Tuesdays and Thursdays became somewhat the highlight of my week because of yall and now that you’re near what people consider the “PEAK” arc I feel like it wouldn’t make sense to suddenly change the upload schedule whether it's with a one piece week or increasing the episodes per drop because that would mean it will end faster and that’s something we would’ve liked with the longer or more stretched arcs such as the one you now watch. Also because i wouldn’t want you guys to get overwhelmed with the change of what you were used to all this time i really want to make sure that you are capable of giving every single thing that happens in this arc what it deserves just like you always did with everything in the show. I know I wrote a novel here, and you're probably not planning on changing anything anyway, but I still wanted to share my thoughts with you guys p.s i just read carter’s comment about cooking something for marineford so i think what i said wouldn’t be for nothing after all 😆

Daniella

I know people get excited when it comes to a new arc, but it kind of irritates me when people throw the word peak around when there’s a difference between a peak arc e.g. Sabaody and peak MOMENTS e.g. Nothing Happened. Impel down is not peak but it does have peak moments with good storytelling. It’s unfortunate it’s brought down by bad pacing but trust me later later on it gets worse i’m sure Jack will tell you guys though :)

Marcus D

“Bon boy”🗣️🔥

Poragami

Why are we not getting a 2nd anime on Tuesdays and Thursdays?

1way

Peak

cozo

with how long one piece is i'm not worried about them running out of episodes because that'll take so long anyways, i'd always prefer more episodes

7sonax

Yeah im not too and i feel the same as you, but here im only talking about marineford

Jonas Teigen

nah impel down hate is deserved, it is very mid.

Umar

lol

Umar

has a lot of ups and downs (mostly downs especially in the start)

Umar

guys chill out lol Marineford is great but not as good as the latest arcs of One Piece ofc

Jonas Teigen

46:19 LMAO McKay, but its a valid take tbh. I'm glad that the worst part is at the start of the arc, so its only up from here.

Jonas Teigen

49:52 imma be real, dont trust one piece fans lol. Die hard fans will glaze the mid stuff and call it peak because of nostalgia, or say dont use One Pace even if the pacing ruins everything, so take everything with a grain of salt. But It doesn't mean they are always untrustworthy ofc.

Marcus D

That’s frieren, it replaced MHA which was a triple drop(Monday, wed, sat) but was the replacement of the regular Tuesday and Thursday show. So you’re still getting the Tues/Tues but on different days with an extra upload.

beckett9898

Big one piece fan here and one that is caught up, McKay I agree with u on this arc. It’s ASS like top 5 worst IMO!!! Patience is a virtue McKay!!

Bryant

People over hyping upcoming arcs makes their expectation too high, resulting in Luke warmness or disappointment. The Geks should be able to experience their first watch without preconceived expectations for upcoming arcs.

Marcus D

To be fair though the geks perpetuate this by continuously mentioning these future arcs and hype episodes they’ve heard about and discuss the opinions commenters have given on them, in a usually positive manner. So it needs to stop on both ends tbh

Sherya

Thanks, I can say the same about your pfp too 😉

Kaiju Kes

Jimbei is an Uncle Iroh type character that grows on you with his wisdom.

Dasha

Not Buggy and mr 3 getting more hate than Spandam

Dasha

Well said

AnEmptyChair

Lol in the beginning when you said send Carter a quarter zip I thought you meant something else. But seriously boys, this is like, one of the best parts of One Piece without question. Give us Marineford for Christmas ToT

demitt

20:00 all of them hitting the speed face is frying me bro

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

"Next 100 episodes are peak" was so misleading😅 Impel Down has been good for like the last 4 episodes. Very mid overall.

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

Top 5 worst is insane take. This is way better than Thriller Bark for example(they used One Pace a lot in Thriller Bark)

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

It's like that with every anime. Some people just won't budge on their opinion. For me One Piece was kinda a nice show but I could never put it even in my top 10 because of the pacing and like genuinely one of the worst moments I have seen in anime. I still hate some One Piece stuff wholeheartedly but it is ny number 1 still for now I think.

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

Maybe it had tons of likes or something because I remember that glaze very clearly

Jonas Teigen

Same, but its still not in my top 10 tho

Sasha (Yare Yare Daze)

I'd guess almost every arc in One Piece has more episodes than manga chapters

Nanami's Wife

Tell me if I'm tripping or not but when they started Impel Down, no one was hyping it up like crazy in the comments and the guys mention that in the reaction video as well. It was after that time I started to see people say how much they liked the arc

Sasha Ruple

Believe it or not the majority of arcs have a higher chapter count than episode count. I think it's 17 arcs with more manga chapters, 10 arcs with more episodes, and 3 with even numbers (this is counting smaller arcs though for what it's worth). All the bigger, more recent arcs lean towards episode count winning over chapter count

Dut

It skyrockets from here

McKay Carter

It’s not hate, it’s exhaustion

Promanex(Alex)

Nah bro don’t get your hopes up there is definitely lower lows than the beginning, but there are some great moments you can look for. @Mckay Carter

Jonas Teigen

@Pht0m No, the worst of this arc is 100% the start and its no question about it. We really cant get much lower, the first half of the arc is a snoozefest.

Jonas Teigen

@Dasha at least Spandam did something for the plot💀

Jonas Teigen

Top 5 worst is a extremely valid take

John D. Acebes

Bon Clay the realest. Passed the vibe check on sight and now a ride and die

Zaraiz Khan

ivankov has a big head due to his devil fruit; increase in growth hormone leads to acromegaly(big head/jaw). So we can assume that hes been experimenting with his own hormones to make himself a super soldier. Also, i like this arc lol, i cant call it peak but i find it so funny lol. lots of hind sight lore drops too. this being said, i also think that thriller bark was hilarious lmao. youve gotta love OP for the journey, not every episode is gonna be peak, but they will 100% have a 10/10 epsidoe somewhere along the way

Maya 🌱

Impel down from now on is really good. The first half was slow, but I think you guys will enjoy the rest of this arc !!

Darlyn Lopez

I also didn't care about Jimbe when he was first introduced.

beckett9898

Yea thriller bark that’s my 3rd worst. This arc just blows

Jack

Yeah this is crazy, McKay wasn’t even the one who originally said the names, ya’ll know who it was

Toshin D. Raizen

Bro the guy all the way on the right is annoying af. Where’d he even come from? Seems to just spew hate for no reason. Looking like someone off swamp people

Jack

Yeah there are moments in this, mostly just around the characters that I love, but the arc as a whole definitely struggles to land well

E L

you must be new

SavDog23

Don't stress about it McKay. People are just excited for what's to come and can't control themselves so will say dumb things in the comments. Although the "Diaper Guy" mentions are just too far 😂

Mitch

I love menaces what can I say

Dasha

Idk maybe it’s just not that noticeable bc others are so hyperactive and your reaction fades away in comparison. The last time you were really hyped was gear 2 as far as I remember

Marcus D

I did say in was in my top 5 in replies of a couple of comments at the start of the arc but I was purposely not outright hyping it up to them for their own experience. Which is what we should always be doing lol

Dasha

Sorry robin’s backstory and I want to live too

Marcus D

But yeah, there was much expression about it until the Geks said in vids that it wasn’t hyped up

Nanami's Wife

Same, I did also say something about loving this arc and in my top too. I really think the hype was a mixture with Marineford hype in the comments. I agree with you on the way how we should manage hype now in the comments

Arely

We love McKay here, sir. 🧐

Zess

Whered you come from? What the hell kind of question is that when you clearly havent even been around long enough to know who the geks are lol rude as hell over nothing.

kuza

"where'd he even come from" wtf r u saying 😭😭😭

Natacha

Love your pfp

Natacha

without them luffy will still be running in level 1

demitt

paying for the patreon just to hate is some basement dwelling shit XD

Zipzzty

He’s just giving his opinion bro 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Hard-B0iled

It’s literally 11 ep, where are you getting 16 ep from lmao if they skip the ep with the rest of the crew it’s 11. I don’t think they should one pace.

McKay Carter

Haha yeah the diaper guy killed me

McKay Carter

Oda’s cooking, Toei isn’t…

McKay Carter

Amazon Lilly is literally a top 5 arc…

Jack

Facts, besides some character interaction there is a lot to get past before it starts to ramp up

Dale Cooper

You think it is better than Arlong Park, Alabasta, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, Skypiea, Enies Lobby, Water 7, Sabaody, and/or Impel Down? What even happened other than Luffy confirmed for conqueror's haki? What significant lore did we get other than a snippet of Fisher Tiger? The only good things that came from Amazon Lilly are what get expounded on in other arcs. You don't get any pay off from the arc and really it is Hancock's backstory told in part and parcel.

Dale Cooper

I'd love to hear why and compared to other arcs this far. We had Syrup Village, Lougetown, the island with the guy in the chest, Captain Morgan, Thriller Bark, Davy Back Fight and Amazon Lily. What makes this arc worse than any of these?

Jack

Wow that’s crazy

Jonas Teigen

No, dont act like they did something, and without them we would be on the next arc already

beckett9898

Think of the top 5 without spoiling it for them. I can only think of 4 worst LONG RING, THILLER BARK, PH and ussop home town arc.

beckett9898

Romance dawn is goated u smoking, lougetown and amazon lily are better than this man.

Taylor

This arc def has some slower/fillerish episodes like some do, but all together pretty good & sets up for later episodes. I remember skipping some parts the first time I watched it (mainly during these past episodes). You’ll know when it’s abt to get good tho! I think some of the overkill jokes kill some of the anticipation for the next watch so def get the takes.

DonDuh103

Like how yall are honest on what you think about the arcs. Like Mckay isnt a fan of the Buggy and Mr.3 and i kinda agree would be better if they made thoses scenes shorter/quicker. Cannon doesnt care about Jinbe, and the 3 of yall feel the arc is here and there with moments. I havent watched this arc for a while maybe cause im watching the reaction lowkey enjoying it much more this time around but thank yall for the grind!

Toshin D. Raizen

Yeah bring the old guy back and let this guy only be on for my hero

TripleJ

tf u even talking about bro, hes always been here lmao

Marcus D

Clearly rage baiting guys lol. They know more about the channel than they pretend to

Vin

10/10 ragebait

Juu

I totally feel you guys, I find this probably my least favorite arc in the show despite a lot of people liking it.

Nonos

This might just be elite ragebait

Janice W

I wish people would stop hyping up upcoming arcs so much😭It's fine to like it, but not to the extent of glazing the next 100 eps 💀I remember when I watched Impel down for the first time, I definitely wanted to snooze a couple of times but overall I still really like Impel down. I also think a lot of people, me included binged these episodes at once so the Buggy/Mr.3 gags just blends together and doesn't feel as constant as they actually are. The thing is...unfortunately Toei lingers or adds filler on the biggest gripes you guys and everyone has with the anime. We don't get nearly as much Hannyabal or Buggy/Mr.3 in the manga. But that's why I don't think anyone can really be upset with the takes on Impel Down not being great, cause they way you're consuming the show is through the anime, 2 eps per watch session. That's gonna make for a different experience with the show, and that's fine!

McKay Carter

I think they should just ban him from the couch for life

Nanami's Wife

oop he deleted his comments…welp🧍🏾‍♀️

sil 🧸ྀི

i love ivankov so much and one of my favorite parts is when he finds out luffy is dragon's son hahah he is so shook

sil 🧸ྀི

cannon getting a lil teary eyed when luffy bowed for bon clay :')

sil 🧸ྀི

i was the same 😭🙂‍↕️ their friendship >>>

Mara

These were some of my fav few episodes the first time watching. I cried like a baby lol

Toshin D. Raizen

Yeah you trash and clearly don’t have intelligent takes. Not even really paying attention to detail when it comes to Hannyabal and Magellans dynamic between each other. Just keep riding that lil my hero hype lol and shit on every other show . But guess what My hero academia done now meanwhile one Piece will continue being peak for the next 6-8 years!

Pymos

impel down definitly is overhyped it drags on and on

Kylie

Great week, great reaction. Impel down can definitely drag but it has some crucial lore drops and world building - the likes of which we haven't really seen in previous arcs. Personally a lot of draw to this arc is the uniqueness of having Luffy solo an adventure; mans is basically causing a commotion in the world's most epic prison all on his own

Kylie

Also I love when you guys share "hot-takes" or opinions that might not agree with the majority. We're all here for your genuine reactions & I hate to see reactors lie for views, so please keep sharing your honest takes!! It also makes me excited to see how your opinions might evolve over time

EpicGamerZ

Love the reactions and hot takes. I think you guys will definitely like the next batch of episodes

Zess

I dont think hes rage baiting yall lol I think hes just that stupid.

xSaorix

What on earth…? Chill. What’s going on with you? People can like different stuff it’s not a competition

farkzzy

early drop 🙏

Error445

What time do they usually drop?

sakeniku

i love honest review that's why i keep watching them and sub patreon, not glazing it doesn't mean they hate it yall.. 😭 my first time watch this arc was around 10 years ago and i still remember how im tired watching mr 3 and buggy gag and skipped some of it, after i caught up i read the manga from start and realised toei ruinned some of arcs fr

Liza

you guys are seriously my favourite reactors, man I hope you would watch blue lock in the near future. The pause when the scene cuts to Magellan taking his business 😂😂😂

Akodros

I listen to every outro, not to flex
