brook's tragic backstory (one piece) 

on dressrosa on my uncut membership (allmight preworkout tier). TRYING to catch youtube up, but I AM ADDICTED RN. i've been watching one piece almost everyday on my stream, and I'm going to today as well. come check it out live at 4:30PM CST! www.twitch.tv/heisuten/

Brook saying "I'm glad to be alive" after what he's went through hits SO hard.

I don't think I have ever made it through Brook saying, " A quartet, a trio, a duet, now a solo", without crying shit cracks me every time.

Brook's story is perhaps the most dark and depressing I have ever seen... Can you even imagine what it feels like to be roaming a dark empty sea with no company at all after losing all your family for 47 years !?

Heis: "Nothing happened last episode." Heis understood the assignment.

Oda commissioned Kouhei Tanaka to write this song specifically for One Piece. According to OP legend, it's a folklore song loved by pirates. So I won't be shocked if this song is somehow connected to the Void Century or whatever. HAHAH if that's the case, it'll be mindblowing!

It always blows my mind how Brook was a pirate before the golden age of piracy and even before Roger became the pirate king. And he spent 50 years alone in a ship with his dead comrades. Can't even blame the man for being a little weird cuz most would've gone mad.

I swear, if there’s ever a moment in one piece to make someone cry, it’s this one.

When Brook sang Bink's sake at the beginning was scary and lonesome, when he got with the crew he cheered it up, and when he plays it in his violin is so soothing and relaxing. I wish there was an extended version of Brook's Bink's sake in violin.

Brooks Voice Actor is too OP. Made me cry again.

It's one of the hardest moments of one piece for me tbh, I lost my friend in the car crash 2y ago, damn he loved this anime, we watched it together a lot, and when I hear Brook saying "Solo.." I'm breaking down in tears. I just wish everyone could have their soul rebirth and be glad to be alive. Powerful stuff, Oda sensei, powerful stuff

Brook's backstory is still the hardest gut punch to me in the whole manga. Lossing everything and still struggling to fulfill what was promised. Together with Robin those are the most painful imi

A few years back there was a Submarine that had lost power and the crew was essentially SOL, so they decided to record their last moments in song similar to how Brook's back story had gone. Who knows perhaps some of the crew had seen One Piece and was a fan.

My favorite character in this entire show, my second favorite character in all of anime (behind Vegeta) this story never fails to make me cry at every step

Oda had the anime producer compose a full rendition of Bink's Sake *before* the song ever appeared in the manga. Just a little tidbit for how important it really is.

Binks Sake is so fucking nostalgic to the Series now. Every once in a blue moon they will play it, and it just gives you the feels everytime.

Btw zoro didn't defeat ryuma, he defeated brook in ryumas body, dude was so op back in his day that even his dead body gave brook's shadow a big power boost

Brooks backstory is still the most tragic one even after countless rewatchs I still remember the first time I saw it and ngl no other character has ever made me cry as much

I've seen so many people place Brooks backstory down on the list for the saddest among the strawhats simply because he was already an adult when it all happened... Idk but for me having all that joy, Family and Friends and then have it ripped away from you is so much worse and also people underestimate how hard loneliness can be especially over such a long period

Damn, I've watch brook's story so many time but no single chance I kept the tears from flowing. His story is the most heart breaking among all sad back stories. Numerous floors above story of kyros' & Robin's.

I love that Oda left the mystery of the giant creatures in the background of Thriller Bark at the end. It really added to the world building that this mysterious part of the ocean that has ships dissappear in it, was not completely solved simply by the strawhats showing up and beating Moria.

37:46 Still a HUGE mystery to this day bro, and it's literally the tallest living thing in One Piece that we know of, like 40,000M or some shit

Zero days since the last time One Piece made me cry. Oda knows how to hit you in the feels.

The Yomi Yomi no Mi, or Revive Revive Fruit, allows the user to come back to life after dying once (excluding if they drown) and basically gives them a second life. But in case their bodies have been damaged or decomposed, the Fruit allows the user to still function like a living being so it compensates for missing organs or other body parts.

25:35 You can pinpoint the exact moment Heisuten's heart broke.

" February or March even " *cries in almost june

Damn almost every backstory in ONE PIECE broke me. I watch it 10 times i cry 10 times

I saw the Bink's Sake scene around 5 years ago and teared up despite not knowing the context, and that was what got me into One Piece. Finding out that Brook was a member of the Strawhats made me lose my shit.

33:38 Franky not only got the Chad chin but also the sigma attitude to go with it 😂

It breaks me every time. All the Rumbar pirates knew they were going to die, so what do they do? The best thing they know, sing.

Watching this for the first time was the closest I’ve come to crying in years

So far watching One Piece, I have only actually cried 3 times. The first was when Chopper saw the cherry blossoms before leaving home. The second was the sinking of the Merry. The third time was watching Brooks backstory. I cried hardest when watching what happened to Brook, because his story is a masterful tragedy, yet he came through and is still a goofy, lovable guy. It could have been so easy to make him angsty and bitter, but his joy and kindness speaks to me more than any other Straw Hat.

Amazing reaction, Brook's backstory is one of the best backstory in one piece and him singing Bink's Sake was amazing

The rum bar pirates goodbye is one of the moments in one piece that still gives me chills and makes me cry every time

Man, wouldn't it be crazy if Oda hid all sorts of hints in the lyrics of Bink's Sake that wouldn't make sense for over a decade. Crazy.

Brook could NEVER beat Ryuma because firstly Ruma when he was alive was already stronger than Brook and on top of that Dr. Hogback was choosing super strong bodies for Moria to use that were stronger than the shadows owner and on top of that he made modifications to the bodies to enhance their strength before giving them to Moria for the shadows. So basically the zombies of each person in most cases were just upgraded versions of that person (for Sanji this clearly wasn't the case since his zombie was put in a weak ass penguin dog because they didn't recognise him and even the dogguin zombie of Sanji was complaining that his body is too weak for him)

The single tear. All that needs to be said. This show was always amazing and my favorite series. But bink's sake and brook's story brings so much more emotion into the story following enies lobby where you think nothing can be more emotional.

what a good start of my morning seeing a new upload of heisuten's one piece reaction and finally with brook's backstory

To be truly honest. This was the only show/movie that made cry

Dude I love u Heisuten so genuine

we need atleast 2 one piece a week my man. youtube is so far behind

Damn. The singular tear is such a good way to sum up these past episodes.

Lola really have a big mother in the new world

Damnit when he said "Solo" I lost it 😭

Hey bro I’m pretty new to your channel but honestly I love your reactions, il be joining once I get payed, keep up the great content bro I have watched all the anime your reacting too and every reaction you have revived my excitement all ❤️ bro

Great reaction! Damn that backstory hits!

you're probably my favorite one piece reactor fs

My favorite line from Brook in these episodes, is at 27:07 "I take pride in being a pirate! If you are facing the wall, I want to greet you from the front, just like I promised!" Before, when he's mentioned wanting to get back, it's been subtly inferred that he's wanting to get back as quickly as possible, and thus going "backwards" along the Grand Line. Which is considered ridiculously cowardly. This is also why he couldn't beat Ryuma to get his shadow back. He wasn't a good enough swordsman, sure, but he never *got better,* despite having years prior to meeting the Straw Hats to train. But now, he's ready to move forward, become better, and face Laboon head on with a smile, rather than skulk up from behind. It's some wonderfully powerful (if a bit overly subtle) character building, which is great since we pretty much get none after this until post timeskip, where we get flashes of his character during his Sabaody concert, a few new powers on Fishman Island, and that's basically it up through Dressrosa.

It’s truly crazy how Brook was able to last out at sea by himself for 50 years straight on the boat where his best of friends died on. I wouldn’t be able to do it.

2 op videos in a row !!!! Thankyou

Brook alone in the ship amusing himself while reminiscing is just so heartbreaking

Ngl man Brook's backstory is still capable of making me tears an ocean. It's so damn sad

the second it goes from 5 to 4, that is the moment where you realize that you shouldn't have held back any tears. you should have let them fall, because the waves of emotion when brook said quartet, trio, duet, and finally solo, you cant resist them.

Dude one of the saddest stories along with robin and laws I think. I love brook

How this song is presented in the anime; a round of 4 time periods is so amazingly epic, and sad and happy and sad. Just all the feels.

One of the darkest moments In op

honestly thats the only backstory that made me shed a tear

It’s crazy how Brook is all bones and so we are not supposed to understand is facial expression. But whenever they show is face I can feel his emotions 🥹🥹

I am literally fucking crying right now. Why does Brook’s backstory gotta hit so close to home for my main one piece oc man!?!

If you listen to a song called “Binks Brew” (“A Sea Shanty From One Piece”) which is an English version of “Binks Sake”, you can see that Brook’s crewmates said that if they die first they would see Brook in the afterlife but Brook ate the Yomi Yomi No Mi Fruit which made him an eternal skeleton so he didn’t get to see his crewmates like they promised but at least he’s happy with the Straw Hat’s! 😭

i though i cried by heart out on Merry's farewell, but brook's back story hits harder, its so dark and depressing.

Brook slowly going insane on the ship to this day is one of the most horrifying things in anime. Its Berserk levels of f*cked up.

Brook is 88 years old but doesn't look a day over 140 😂 He's also 8'8" tall. Side note, there are 88 keys on the piano.

Sheesh lessggoo this is a surprise, he posted two times in a row 😭

Bro finally get to listen our "Anthem"... Yohohoho... 🥺😩❤

I think The Rumbar Pirates are my second favorite pirate groups maybe third. They just seem like really fun dudes to be around and you know they were strong as hell because the grand line weren't so easy back in the day.

As someone who watches both sub and dub, I can say this song is a lot more emotional when there’s no background noises and on English Dub.

I like your reaction. I'm a Korean fan !! I see your one piece reaction every day. This is a translator. Sorry.🥲

When he said solo that hit harder than anything

Brook is 8'8 tall His age is 88 The keys in piano are 88 Yohohohoooooo💀

1000TH LIKE LOVE UR VIDS

I absolutely love how you removed everyone's devil fruits to stay canonical. Ussop looks terrifying, I love Chopper so much, Franky's fruit just fits, always nice to see human Brook, love how you twisted the fruit for Robin (also, she has horns cause why not amirght?), Sanji looks amazing, and I love Luffy's coating!

30:17 just realized thats an actual cover page on the newspaper, thats pretty dope.

You are not alone I feel your pain and am pretty sure nobody can watch this and not want to cry

Oh god it's this one again AAAAA This is so gut wrenching

I've watched countless animes and Brook's backstory and the binks sake sing along scene is the only anime episode that made me cry. It's soo saaad.

Haha yeah I love watching clips on yt he's catching up to where he's at rn but these edited clips r fun to go back to :)

I’ve read and watched one piece and this is def a moment u need to watch

Whenever Brook gets to play that dial for Laboon I'm gonna cry my eyes out 😭

I think we all felt that tear On a side note brook>>>robins backstory in terms of sadness

Bink's brew is not just about sailors` or pirates` lives. It's life itself. We all desperately wish we could spend eternity with our loves ones and friends. But we all need to part ways and sometimes you find yourself living longer than everyone else and is the only one still playing the piano. But that is the true meaning of the journey called life. The best thing we can do is live each day to the fullest knowing that we need to cherish as many people around us.

People who are the most happiest are considered the most saddest. Even when they’re sad, they use all the silliness, the humor and a fake smiles is like a defense mechanism.

if you knew the background behind this song it self you would cry even harder and be so hyped

The greatest use of a sing along you will ever see

“The sun, thank to bring out the sun to us” one piece it’s full of this and thriller bark is eye popping if u know what to search… or the context.

were just 4... now trio... duo... man this hits

The backstory makes me cry alot 😭

Iv been waiting for this for months

I don't know the others but you made me cry again over this episode 😢

Iam not crying.. You are 😭

Keep it up bro! 👍👍👍

Yeah there are some episodes of one piece where they like go all out with the art style and the animation.

this skull dude is hands down the mentally toughest guy in anime period. living on the same ship where you used to spend all time with the gang and being haunted by all the memories without any sight of escape. he even has to see and collect his dead homies. dude this is horror. respect to brooke. after all he went trough he is still thinking about this little whale and try to fulfill his promise. the biggest dead heart aswell 💔

I guess the Clear Clear fruit can even affect things partially submerged in water. That's neat.

It's good to see One Piece getting love. Despite One Piece's massive popularity, I've been seeing a lot of hate for it online recently especially toward it's aesthetic and art style.

Nothing hits harder than Brook's origins, and is probably the best one in anime. Being forced to live on eternally and suffer the agony and regret of being the only person to live while surrounded by the corpses and remnants of those you loved, going insane for nearly 47 years, with the only thing to keep you whole is a single promise and a single, faint hope.

I love the last detail snuck in at the last moment Oh you think Gecko Moria and Thriller Bark was what was scary about the Florian Triangle, Nonono- Its not nearly that simply understood

one piece making people cry then suddenly makes everyone laugh again

The lyrics are pretty crazy when u analyze it too. Especially since this is supposed to a folk pirate song

I’m crying even tho I don’t have eyes YOHOHOHOHOHOOO!
