Luffy's near death by Buggy is the only point I can recall where Luffy actually accepted his death as a sure thing

Magellan is HIGHLY underrated. Completely stomped the main protagonist and antagonist without breaking a sweat.

Reminds me of what Luffy told Arlong in Chapter 90. "Of course I don't know how to use swords! I don't know how to navigate! I can't cook! I can't lie, either! I'm confident I wouldn't be able to survive if other people aren't there to help me!" "Then what CAN you do?" "I can beat you!"

"Buggy tried to executed luffy via death" -Liam

"Nah mate, let the clown cook" is prbly what Oda uses as a motto when designing Buggy´s character arc and his editors ask him "Why tho?"

You think luffys bounty will say just "Dead" after Egghead?

Luffy's just like one of those inflatable pop-up clowns people use as punching bags. They're made of rubber, they always have a big smile on their faces and no matter how many times you hit them or how hard you do it, they ALWAYS come back up at you

I can't escape AFK Journey... it's 80% of my ads, and more you're sponsored by them? The ads are driving me nuts.

At one point Luffy does actually acknowledge this. He straight up says he should have died multiple times if not for those around him. I can't remember exactly who it was off the top of my head without looking it up. But I'm 75% sure it was Arlong.

Mihawks line of luffy having the power to make allies of everyone he meets couldnt be more true with how many times he was saved by other people

8:23 To be fair, at the end of Drum Island (right before Alabasta), Kureha dropped the lore bomb that Gold Roger's real name was Gol D. Roger, so clearly something was up. And we don't really know much more about it even to this day lol (besides "the will of D" being a thing).

Luffy didn't bend over to pick up the Vivre card. He already collapsed from exhaustion and then noticed the card drop from his clothes.

You forgot Luffy's closest brush with death in the whole series: The whirlpool in Chapter 2.

9:14 CEASAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

You forgot about the very first time: Eating Shanks’ food without asking, then almost getting eaten and costing the man an arm. Shanks doesn’t just have the Sign of Presence, he straight up can see the future if he was able to have the patience of not strangling that little boy with the one arm he had left.

Just realized how many resistances Brook has. Cold, Fire, Lightning and poison don't affect him. Getting decapitated also does nothing. Pretty sure only blunt attacks work on him and slashing to some degree.

What about when Luffy's heart really stopped during the fight with Kaido? If it werent for his devil fruit awakening he would have died, and in fact, he actually did for a while

so what I'm hearing is Luffy's greatest enemy is himself.

You forget about how Kaido dealt Luffy the death blow because of that CP0 agent's interference.

Should we count when Luffy's heart stopped before plot kicked in and he got gear 5? Or does it not count because he technically died

Don kriegs golden haki was only defeated after plot armor

9:10 SHIIIIIZAAAAAA! 😭

He also could have died in the end of WCI when the Big Mom's ship caught them.

I appreciate you uploading early especially being on the east coast still heading to work (even on Easter Day)

If 8 billion(whole earth) ppl fight 1v1 like in a tournament, someone would win 33 fights in a row and that's insane And thats how i cope with the plot armor, we follow the PKs journey not a random dude who might becomes the PK. There could be meny joyboys through the 800 years that failed but this one will win?

I honnestly wouldn't be shocked if extreme luck( like Takaba in JJk or any other cartoon or gag character in anime) was part of his power. So this video actually really made sense. Luffy has unusual plot armor to the sense that it's not plot armor anymore but cartoon/ gag characteristics!

This is why Luffy should always top those lists of anime characters that need the most help to win. Sure, when it comes down to the fights Luffy tends to ultimately take care of business on his own. But in so many situations he never would have been able to survive long enough to get there if it weren't for others picking up his slack for being so stupid. Seriously, eating the poison fish was so frustratingly dumb, especially because everyone told him not to do it right away

Thank you for giving some praise to Don Krieg, I've considered him to be underrated for a while now

I have to clerify this heavily. Luffy didnt go to the ground with the purpose of picking the vivre card back. His energy hormones stop effecting. Jimbei even says on the same panel "youre at your limits" his legs literallly gave out. And considiring all the dmg, healing from poison and other abuse. Its no wonder.

Keep up the great work and videos Liam love the video

DON'T FORGET the time Luffy almost drowned at Enies Lobby by trying to take a flimsy rowboat to the bridge of hesitation, and had it not been for the arrival of Chimney & Gonbe, he would've died. Unlike other times when Luffy almost drowned, none of his crew were there to see him fall. He easily, EASILY could've died if C&G hadn't found his location by accident at that time.

I think there's one more instance that was forgotten! Rob Lucci almost got Luffy killed twice. Once on Water 7, where if he hadn't been found in time, Luffy would have been consumed by Aqua Laguna while stuck between buildings. And then there's right after beating Lucci, Luffy could not move and escape the oncoming Buster Call without Merry suddenly emerging to whisk everyone away.

We need to see one of mihawk vs shanks fights and the battle for head admiral too!

How can you write a comment hours ago on a video released 5 minutes ago

It’s interesting how many of these are pre time skip vs post time skip. Part of that is the number of antogonists is more pre time skips since arcs are shorter, but I think it’s also an indiviation of how luffy’s will and determination had to essentially make up for his lacking strength in certain pre time skip situations. During the time skip and throughout post time skip, we see his strength is enough in most situations and so therefore his “risks” are not as often, to the point of near death

During your AFK Journey ad read I got a midreel ad for AFK Journey lmao

I would LOVE to see you bring back the One Piece 101 vids!!

I feel like when Luffy smiled in the don krieg situation it wasn’t just the will of d but he also trusted somebody would save him. And that made him laugh.

I think a lot of his death moments being undone by friends or people who believe in him for one reason or another makes a lot of sense thematically. Against Arlong, he even says that he needs his friends' help so that he can do what he needs to keep them safe. (Paraphrasing)

I think you forgot smoker when he was close to kill Luffy at alatasta, logue town and especially at marinefort when he did the white launcher and literally destroyed luffys neck

I’m glad we’ll still have this channel to keep us sane for the three week One Piece break.

This is my favorite anime channel.

the way kuzan reacted when he got rejected by nami is hillarious! 6:48

I love the real meaning of this video, because it's extremely One Piece. No one person can become the saviour of the world on their own. You need your friends, family and allies to succeed.

"Though not of mine own creation, yet I doth weave the tale of a boundless spirit, akin to the gusts that sway the mighty seas. In the visage of Luffy, I find a protagonist bold, whose heart beats with the rhythm of adventure's call and whose dreams sail beyond the horizon's endless sprawl."

Buggy was the only one who has managed to make Luffy admit defeat. Even Kaido never achieved that. The best he ever got was “if this fails I’ll lose”

The mc and plot armor really go hand and hand

Jimbei survived getting impaled by the same attack from Akainu that killed Ace.

i know for a fact there are more.

It's kinda funny that Luffy keeps almost dying from poison when he's supposed to have built up an immunity to nearly all poisons as a result of recovering from Magellan's poison. It's almost as if Oda forgot about that.

As the protagonist, Luffy has plot armor protecting him, though I do like how it's acknowledged by other characters how Luffy has a knack for surviving the seemingly impossible. His involvement in the Paramount War is a good example, since they think Luffy would just be swept up and overwhelmed through it all, but he managed to (just barely) survive everything he went through during that Saga. It's clear that Destiny has plans for Luffy in this world... ...Of course, that doesn't mean some of the times Luffy does manage to miraculously survive near-death encounters feel a bit more annoyingly contrived than others. For me, the most glaring examples are two back-to-back scenarios where Luffy comes close to death but manages to survive by sheer happenstance, and it's both on the way to Totto Land to get Sanji back from Big Mom. First, Luffy eats one of Carrot's carrots, which angers Carrot enough to bit him *on the neck*. Once she calms down, it's pointed out that she just barely missed his jugular vein, which would have basically been instant death for Luffy. Then later one, they catch a massive fish whose skin is deadly poisonous, yet Luffy is so hungry he eats all of the fish's skin (and ONLY its skin, if I recall correctly, which is weird). Despite the natural antibodies he gained form his encounter with Magellan, the poison he ingested is enough to kill a giant and is slowly overtaking him, and Nami and Chopper are all crying out how he's supposed to be the King of the Pirates and can't die here, when who should show up but Reiju, who JUST SO HAPPENS to have a power that lets her suck out and eat poison, saving Luffy. Individually, these would be noticeable near-death moments for Luffy, but the fact that they were so close together really annoyed me when reading it. Of course, any time Luffy almost dies because of his own stupidity but survives because he's meant for greater things tends to get on my nerves; like it's one thing if Luffy made a knowing risk on his life for something that matters, that's one thing, but the fact that he constantly throws caution to the wind and often puts himself and his crew in danger as a result... Well, you know, it's not nearly as big a problem as I'm making it out to be, so I shouldn't really complain all that much.

I know this is out of context but I recently relived the beginning of Egg Head through the anime and I saw that each Vegapunk uploads what they learnt/did everyday How did the other satellites and stellar not see it from York’s synchronization

His pinned comment says 3 hours ago for me😮

Demon Shoulder Dragon definitely said "You could save your Son, or... you could look East" 😈

love to see the Great Admiral Don Krieg getting his flowers!!

You know every time you have a sponsor that is not in anime style or is anime i am like omg

I really hope they include the climb up the Drum mountain in the live action. It really showcases Luffy's constitution and willingness to do the impossible for his friends.

Oda loves puting Luffy in these type of scenarios, Luffy almost dying is Basically a one piece tradition

i just saw this short video about how the people who have lit sanji's cigarettes for him either die or get the absolute shit kicked out of them and it blew my mind (Pedro, Ace and Enel)

the Heart Pirate who heard Luffy in the ocean was only Jean Bart. Definitely an interesting idea since we still dont know why Oda planted him on Laws crew

I was hoping the whirlpool from chapter 2 would make it in here.

Video 346 I love the videos and I hope your day was great. Keep up the great work.

There are a lot of characters that share Luffy's blood type that would make you think "Oh, that's weird".

Haha i almost spit take at that comment about it being a while since Luffy almost died by drowing. Fun video especially love the Krieg respect.

Link for merch is not working.

Shanks's arm: What am I? Chop Liver? Well I guess I did end up in a liver. Hmmm

13:30 💀the nose has scarred me for life

forgot one. He almost died of hunger on Whole Cake Island, remember he said he would eat anything if not Sanji's food.

could vegapunks anti gravity devices be useful in a blackbeard fight due to his gravitational pull on opponents when using the yami yami no mi

Imma head straight into the video and completely watch it

9:11 CAAAESSSSSAAARRRRRRRR

thats not even the only time he nearly drowns in wano alone lol

Luffy is quite aware of this and that’s why it so awesome when the villains make fun of nakamas because he knows he would have died many times without them .

Luffy can't die, the D .BUNGEE GUM contains the properties of both rubber and gum.

Clearly Luffy is the physical embodiment of the songs “Stayin' alive" and especially in recent times with “Don't stop me now", cause he's having a good time, having a good time. 😂☀ 🥁

Just 2 (crazy) thoughts 1. What if the Gorosei were actually the real devils trapped within the fruits and Imu was somewhat able to separate them from their fruits and let them loose. And Maybe they obey Imu not just bc of a hierarchy thing but also bc Imu knows how to seal them back into fruits. This could explain why Oda presented the Gorosei in the description bubble like real devils instead of DF users. This makes me think Imu is the last fight as BB uses multiple DV powers trapped inside of him but Imu is on a whole other level where he/she can release these things. 2. We’ve seen all kinds of races and tribes with different attributes. The magic (or alchemy?) thing may actually be real and Imu was like a powerful witch/alchemist/scientist at that time who created a way to seal all sorts of things in fruits. It was all good until Imu did the forbidden/unthinkable thing of also sealing living things in fruits. This could also explain why Zoan fruits are special

12:48 vulcainu had me dead 💀💀

2:36 Who is that beauty? This artist never fails to impress!

On one hand… Luffy opened up his own wounds. He was still very conscious after knocking out Hody. Wouldn’t have bleed as much if not for Noah. Wouldn’t have gone into the ocean except to chase Noah and hody. So…credit instead should go to vander dekken Don’t forget he jumped into water a few times to save chopper. Almost died to animals except for Rayleigh’s help. BUT THE BIGGEST MISS (even closer than buggy) Almost melted due to Moria.

Ah yes the epic battle of loguetown between two yonkos and the marines. The day a yonko almost took another's life on the same spot the pirate king was executed, if not from god's intervention via a lightning bolt. It's always hilarious for me to imagine those incredibly goofy incidents in the story with the eyes of the people around the current one piece world

The will of D meaning quite literally someone that has the will of Death. Which has meaning that people will smile or laugh during the times the D clan has died.

That Buggy in your nose nearly killed me.

Okay, so if the series thus far is an accurate predictor for the future, there is a 100% chance Luffy will get poisoned any time he ends up in an actual prison (I feel like it's necessary to make the distinction of an ACTUAL prison, because there have been plenty of times when he's ended up in cages that were NOT part of any actual prison that he managed to get out of it without any poison exposure). Also, you omitted the time Crocodile locked him (and others) in a sea prism stone cage in a flooding room filled with banana gators. If it wasn't for the others there, he would have shuffled off this mortal coil there as well.

Nothing would fill me with more fear than going to an appointment and seeing [M.D Luffy] on the door.

Has anyone else been having trouble getting to the merch store?

I can't stop looking at the small bogger just staring into my soul 😂😂

Love the jojo reference in the background

4:44 Dragon at it again lol

7:30 I'm 99% certain that he was literally just trolling them by pretending to change his mind so many times

1:03 Idk man coz if that was just a 1 on 1 fight then luffy then it wouldn't be in the middle of the ocean. the spectators are there because of the plot, and so does the waters🤷🏻‍♂️ and just realized, people tend to argue about the "plot armor" thingy always saving the mc but it is also the main reason why they are there in the first place🤷🏻‍♂️

Don Kreig is my favorite fight. Severely underrated, and I wish it wasn't skipped in the LA

The goddamn Seadramon in the Background 😂

Been feeling for a very long time that Luffy has been building up poison res for a special thing late in series. Idk what that thing is, probably whacky tho... most certainly whacky.

Luffy's continous breath is a miracle on itself 😂

Curious question, though, regarding 12:56... can the Op- Op Fruit actually extract the bodily effects of another Fruits' abilities?? Like, could Law actually extract Ivankov's Adrenaline Drug from Luffy??

not related to the video but i wanted to tell that when the gorosei transform in front of sabo now that we know in what they transform into we can see that the shadows have 1 thing who show show a thng to what form are related ,the obvious one is the bird ,second is the horns, the fangs , the only head , and at last the centaur mode

12:44 😭💀NET LOSS

My personal theory is that sanji will marry zoro on laughtale

Luffys closet death to me was Doc Q feeding him the “wrong apple” .
