Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything One Piece!
Here we explore absolutely everything to do with Eiichiro Oda's magnificent epic in quick digestible chunks over the course of 3-4 videos a week! We have character breakdowns, chapter reviews, saga summaries, general discussions and even an entire video encyclopedia dedicated to logging every devil fruit in the series! So whatever you're looking for, chances are you're going to find it here!
Buggy is one my favorite characters, he is like Luffy and Teach, striving for what they believe in! Not to mention, he is the driving force of Cross Guild alongside my other favorites Crocodile and Mihawk!
I can't lie this is my favourite protagonist in anime history 😂 Buggy D. Clown😂 he said produced one of the most iconic lines in orange Town "am so angry I can't even fart" I died😂
Hmmm… let’s hear about the seven CP9/CP0 agents we met during Water 7 and Enies Lobby. Since they fight together and worked in espionage as a team, more than a match for the seven Straw hats fighting to save Robin at the time, I want to examine them as a unit. I also want to see Spandam with his own entry as he is definitely D tier in terms of physical ability, political power, and just general memorability. Examine his father Spandine in the same entry, as he has less screen time than his son but more impact on the story. It is his hand that orders the Buster Call on Ohara.
Buggy has grown to be legit one of the greatest characters in One Piece with an actual shot at being the Pirate King. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if he actually pulls it off. The biggest thing he's missing is having a way to read Poneglyphs.
I predict that after Luffy completes his dream, he will discard the King title and Buggy will be there (whether unintentionally or not) and he'll be recognized the True king of the Pirates.
It might be a coincidence but Buggy is also the only one who has ever damaged Luffy's strawhat. He stabbed it and left 3 marks on it which are still visible in some recent panels which reminds me of Shanks' 3 scars that Blackbeard left on his face offscreen. All of those four guys are the current Yonko...
Hear me out. Theory time, what if buggy’s devil fruit is also a legendary zoan fruit? Maybe he has the star god devil fruit to join in Luffy’s theme as the sun god?
An off-topic opinion about what chapter 1114 has revelead about Joyboy. It was stated on page 14-15 that JoyBoy was also made of rubber just like lufy, and if this is the case, wouldn't this make the 800 years search of JoyBoy by Imu and the 5 Elders pretty stupid? I mean, as soon as you see a pirate made of rubber kicking asses around the world, wouldn't it be pretty logival and easy for them to send 3-4 admirals and kill him instantly? Isn't this thing basically a huge plothole in One piece? As well as in the marineford saga, if you see a pirate made of rubber creating havoc and using conqueror haki, why don't you just kill him? Please i hope someone gives me some logical answer dismantling this supposed plothole if not im going to cry
Now I’m eager to see Foxy get the thrashing as the complete joke he undeniably is. He may not be an awful character in general if your most hated characters video is to go by but I cannot see him ranking high compared to the likes of Arlong, Crocodile, Buggy or even Enel, Jack or Kuro
Okay can we talk about how horrible egg head has been so far in the anime. All the things I heard about this arc got me hyped to watch and honestly if the next episode isn't the Kuma backstory I'm done watching this shit
Buggy is Yonko material for sure. He is never serious unless its a life or death matter and has lots of banquets - Like Luffy He is Merciless and Opportunistic - Like Blackbeard He is Strong by ability and Character- Talks like equals with Shanks, can match Luffy in stamina and meticulously makes ppl join him with either alliance (Alvida) or groveling (Crocodile and Mihawk). Also thoughtful and intelligent coz he knows who to get a loan from and who to leave alone (could have joined Doffy), and in accepting Warlordship (could have rejected if he wanted). He is above the others bcoz of his Luck factor. Luffy lacks brains (bro needs to plan his moves atleast now that he is a yonkou, BB makes his own luck(goes for shit he needs, gets it and leaves doesn't push it), Shanks has brains no luck (lol who loses an arm to a sea king when u can defeat Fleet Admirals with one arm😐). Buggy has both brains and luck and the ability to match the other Yonkous. Lol he will be the Pirate King 🤴🏻
Pell confused and annoyed me and I figured Robin maybe gave Igaram just enough time to barely escape. Komurasaki’s fake out we had me waiting to see her “killer’s” tattoo and reveal he only slashed her enough to make her bleed and in the chaos she managed to escape and then was tended to by the Kappa and Zoro afterwards. I just kinda accepted the others deaths Oda undid… but I immediately hated Pound surviving. I thought Oven *BEHEADED* him! That scene broke me a little for like an entire week and made total sense thematically. Pedro had to sacrifice himself to save the Strawhats, Pound sacrificed himself to save the Tank Pirates. NO ONE leaves Mama’s without paying the price! It set up the stakes that Law and the rest of the Strawhats were trying to tell Luffy since Punk Hazard, THE YONKO DON’T PLAY!!! At that rate just have Oven condemn Pound to the 4Kidz dungeon and have him “somehow” escape and show back up. It’d water down the moment but it wouldn’t ruin it the way his “revival” did.
I support Buggy for Pirate King. Luffy is good and all, but he has too much of an easy time. He was blessed with a god fruit, his strongest allies just joined him, and everywhere he goes, tyrants seem to just fall and everyone smiles, his fleet was made for him and destiny itself is on his side. Buggy on the other hand was cursed from the beginning, he didnt want his fruit, he has been beaten at every turn, he has fought and struggled to get the allies he has, every win he gets is immediately followed up by a tremendous loss, his dreams were trampled upon and he had given up. But he gets back up, he will cry out of fear for the giants he is facing, but he will never give up, he will spite destiny and the world and i am sure he will become the king of the pirates! And he will do it by his own will and his own might, and not by the aid of destiny and the universe.
I feel we have forgotten how cool his powers are! He was the first character than made me love imaginative and fresh One Piece battles and power system are, all the way back in Orange Town.
To be fair to the government on the Impel Down thing, Buggy was the first person to join Luffy's breakout squad (albeit reluctantly), and he was directly responsible for releasing half the bulk of the final army that aided in the breakout, who then went on to be full-time members of his crew. So, calling him a ringleader isn't exactly wrong.
7:16 it's crazy bc the first scene I think of listening to you here is the scene you brought up next w the trio and BB. I keep staring at this image trying to see if I'm missing something.. some detail.. but I think Oda left it a mystery for now.. Only guess I got is what most everyone says, BB is meant to be a trio. Also Zoro only one of the 3 looking away but idt that means anything.. At least as Xoro fan I hope not
Luffy can't be the pirate king without Buggy becoming the pirate king. Luffy can't be the one who is "the most free" without Buggy taking all the police heat for doing the same thing.
