Jeremy Renner Is A MONSTER?!? | One Piece Ep 23+24 Reaction & Review 

There is a certain warrior's code that every great warrior follows. Mihawk kills pirates in droves since he hardly ever finds any of these people following their resolve of a warrior. When Zoro said "Scars on a swordsman's back is a sign of their discrace" and offered himself to Mihawk to kill, Mihawk found this resolve in Zoro. That is why he cut him (to avoid disrespecting Zoro's resolve) but not kill him (to see how he will become).

My favorite part of the fight between Zoro and Mihawk is the fact that at the beginning Mihawk kept referring to Zoro as "weak one" but by the end of the fight he refers to him as "strong one" not in the physical sense but because of his strong spirit

when you see mihawk pull out the tiny knife you think he is being disrespectful to zoro. then you see what he is capable of and think "damn he was just being truthful."

Mihawk is incredibly cool. He's amazing. The mutual respect between him and Zoro and how it developed is just, oh so amazing.

Mihawks crosses lend themselvs to his Spanish Inquisition type. Also, in case it got burried. Black sword. Thats what Mihawk uses

I really enjoy the introduction of Mihawk, as a way to show that our characters have a steep hill to climb.

I rarely post on RU-vid, but I really really like your analysis of this show. As a person that grew up in the 70s watching Japanese original animations and movies, I love their style of storytelling. It still amazes me that no matter the medium used the character development is so damn good. I think they could use stick figures and make them deep. It is hard for me to watch at this pace because I know all of the glorious discoveries that await and how you will fall deeper for this show, HOLD ON! WE ARE!!😊

Yea, that moment with Hawkeye, and the promise from Zoro to Luffy--chef's kiss. One of my favorite moments of the series, and one of those rare moments we get to see Zoro in his feels. Really sets him up for his objective, and helps set the scale/threat of the Grand Line.

The Christian iconography in Hawkeye I mean Dracula mihawk design is because of the Dracula part of his name Dracula usually being a gothic style character.

It's crazy that they introduce Mihawk so early on in the show, when we're not even in the Grand Line yet. One Piece does that often though, will introduce a concept or a character that won't reallh play a role until much later. And it's so good!

One of the most important early episodes, setting up so much that will come in the future!

Dracule "Taka no Mi" Mihawk's name is kind of a pun in itself - it's basically Dracule Hawk Eyes Hawkeyes.

4:10 "he doesn't want to fight but he will. " just remember those words. That's Ussop in a nutshell.

finally the weekend is over and its time for more one piece!

I think you were mistaken: at this point in the story, the author did not know he would have a 1000 episodes to world build?

You love "We are" so much. I wonder what youd think of the german rendition of it. Differnt to the US, the german one piece runs were extremely popular back in the day. And partly because they put a lot of effort into every aspect, such as their own opening. Its similar in some ways, but also a bit different. Wonder if youd like it. Easy to find on youtube at ur own discretion.

Excited for this! "FUCK, Hawk-eye is so cool!" HE'S SO COOL

20:35 its been 20 years and I'm also saying "Fuck! MIHAWK is so cool!!!" When I see this scene.

Nerdy reacting to my favourite East Blue episode on my birthday!! This is the best present :)

Nah, Hawkeye wasn't the main quest, Hawkeye was the trailer for a different movie the play before the feature film. The trailer that makes you go "OH SHIT WE GOTTA GO SEE THAT" and forget why you came to see this other bullshit.

Mihawk's design is based on the Spanish Inquisition and the soldiers that served it. That's were all the Christian iconography comes from in his design ... and the hat!

mihawk is so cunty i love him

So glad that you are enjoying this so much!!

oh gosh i'm super early! i actually laught out loud with that title 🤣 i'm so excited that you're enjoying your journey through one piece, you're not going to regret it!

Love your jam sessions at the beginning of the episodes

Mihawk actually being Ron Jeremy is my newest headcanon

14:17 My sidequest is still marked on the minimap!

The Christian symbol is only used because oda thaught it was cool. It has nothing to do with Christianity😂 And also mihawks boat resembles coffin ⚰️ hence more Christianity symbols. its cool af

In the straw heads crew everyone has a goal that they want to achieve while sailing with luffy. Zoro wants to become the greatest swordsman, usopp wants to become a great warrior of the sea and the others haven’t revealed yet what they want to achieve/find.

Nice commentary! I'll try to keep up with yet another journey on One Piece, ha ha

We love to see you enjoying, also the French accent is on point!

17:41 not a new Goal nerdy. His Goal is just Farther than he thought!!!!

Oh bonjour Monsieur, vous parlez bien français. Impressionnant ^^ Was really funny (and didn't expected that at all) You really have the laugh of one piece villains^^

Great episode. Really looking forward to you seeing the live action version of that killer swordfight scene. Hopefully you will get Claroos along for that ride, I wonder if the live action series can ultimately bring her all-in One Piece! 😂

Just like the titles of each episode the intros will also be shock full of spoilers after this first one is done with, so enjoy singing the intro song while you can becausde soon you will only be allowed to see/hear it *after* the arc/arcs they are cover are over!

Mihawk is his first name, if he was a Count, he'd be Count Mihawk Dracule (Dra-Cool not Drac-youll)

Rip to Mihawks OG voice Actor!!!!!!!

These early parts are a time of innocence and fun, comparatively.. enjoy it while it's here. Also lots of filler is skipped but we like foxy and g8 ones, also fry pan imo

The Zoro vs Mihawk fight was the first time I really saw the potential of this show. Especially since I wasn't that fond of the Buggy and Usopp arcs until much later on.

Good french Nerdy!

Dracul "Hawk-eye" Mihawk

And this show only goes up from here. if you are liking the beginning this much I can't wait for u to watch the rest😁

U will later understood the concept of "HAKI" in which u are calling a magical thing..

There kind of "is" an explanation for mihawk's power other than raw strength, but i wont say more

The manga had Zoro's backstory flashback during the Morgan arc, the anime moved it forward. It was presumably done so you get Zoro's full story at once, with both the Kuina and Mihawk elements of it getting established within a few episodes of each other, but it does make Zoro initially feel a bit oddly purposeless in a way that wasn't really intended. I don't think it was all that good a desicion.

Mihawk could have disrespected Zoro far more. He didn't even need the dagger he could have just dodged all the hits if he wanted, and nah Zoro wouldn't get any hits Mihawk isn't the type of person to allow that. He wouldn't be cocky or full of himself, he told Zoro the honest blunt truth that he was incompetent for not sensing the huge gap between them right away

I have nothing to say, I just want to help you with the algorithm by commenting lol. I appreciate your perspective.

Episode 24 is one of the best anime episodes of all time imo.

i don´t know, looks like nothing happened to zorro, as far as iam concerned

There is no magic in one piece. Devil fruit, who knows where they came from but it's the one of the power system.

I guffawed when I saw the title, I swear. And at the mid-point break snowplough jokes.

Spoilers .. It only gets better.

Mihawk's Christianity is tied into the "looking like a vampire" part of his design, more than to actual Christianity. The man sails in a coffin xD I don't mind younger protagonists in shonen but it wouldn't fit as well in One Piece. In a lot of Shonen with very young protagonists like Naruto or My Hero Academia, the heroes aren't alone, they have a school or a mentor, a structure for their safety. Luffy is just sailing on his own with his friends in super dangerous seas infested with monsters and superhuman pirates. HxH is an example of shonen with very young protagonists (12 at the beginning iirc) who travel alone, but the world of HxH is on the whole very similar to ours (at least at the start), it's not that dangerous for very strong 12 years old to travel alone, the world of One Piece is much less civilised in comparison.

Welcome to the real power that awaits the strawhats in The Grandline and beyond. You have just gotten a small taste

Bonjour je suis trop content tu parles français je suis français haha bravo ton français est parfait

who the hell is Jeremey runner??? is that the va? also why dont you watch dub? you might recognize the voices!

There are several kinds of power sources in this world, devil fruits are just the audience knows the most about because it's the easiest to explain weird powers with, so the Straw Hats run across a devil fruit users (and get several more on their crew). (also, Jeremy Renner don't hold a candle to Dracule "Hawk-Eye" Mihawk).

Jeremy Renner?? I don't see it lmao

I do prefer the manga line from Mihawk to Zoro, "i'm not the kind of man to hunt rabbits with a cannon." Glad the live action used it.

I like how they just dropped one of the strongest characters in the series so early and that too in the middle of nowhere.

Mihawk design took inspiration from both the Spanish Conquistador & Dracula. Him having the Conquistador feathered hats & facial features and being Christian (themed in Mihawk case) warrior who wields a blade. Mihawk obvious Dracula inspiration beings his name being Dracule. His ship being a coffin. Him having candles on his ship (there's more, no spoilers). Dracula fearing being stabbed in the chest by a cross stake. Meanwhile Mihawk wears a cross blade on his chest & carried a ridiculously large cross blade on his back. Oda has used alot of real life people, popular TV/movie/book characters, historical past figures, famous tales for alot of character designs & there themes.

This episode really does do so much for the show by increasing those stakes and showing the true danger and randomness of the grand line. I have to say, there are so many reactions that just do surface level recaps in a way that doesnt add anything to the show. Your reactions are not like that, and it is sometimes difficult to find. Most of the reason I have been following your watch of one piece is because of the analysis you give at the end of each episode, because that's what I enjoy is seeing different perspectives and mutual understanding of something that I already love. I appreciate the effort you put in for that, you sometimes bring up things that I never even noticed before despite watching this show so many times, and that hasn't gone unnoticed.

Zoro's goal hasn't changed. It was always to be the best swordsman in the world and surpass Dracule Mihawk. You're right, that's as tough as the Grand Line will look like. The best are on his level, at least.

I feel like sometimes "western" religion and related topics and iconography get understood very strangely in Asia. To the degree that sometimes I wonder if some people even realize crosses are religious at all.... I think his cross between Renaissance/Spanish style swordsman and vampire aesthetic got kinda applied oddly in Mihawk's character design. Like the translation from vampires sleeping in coffins to sailing on a tiny coffin ship is certainly an unusual application of associated themes. and the crosses, at least the sword, is supposed to be a Spanish Renaissance cross but I suppose vampires also do have cross associations.

I absolutely love seeing you jam out to the opening song in these reactions. Hope that is a tradition you keep up through your journey

Zoro is like that DnD player that tries to kill the BBEG in session 1, when the DM is still just trying to set up how big a threat he will be. Like big respect for it. But mate, come on...

Mihawk was smurfing 😂

a thing I love about OP so much is how significant characters get introduced, done with such style and so memorable. It's not simply man walks in and is like "it is me, important man here to be important". some characters in this wander in and for an episode or two think they might not even be That significant. It's great.

Calling one of the strongest characters in One Piece Verse a useless character of Marvel-verse is blasphemy

I do love We Are! but next opening is genuinely my favorite.

Mihawk is the mountain zoro has to climb

your french intro was so perfect XD

Me thinking Hawkeye is the secret boss you accidentally stumble upon way to early

more one piece videos

With Mihawk; I think Oda was thinking of Monty Python but decided against rabbits and holy grenades. So he thought "No body expects the Spanish Inquistion..." and so Mihawk was designed with the Christian elements and possibly a Spanish flair. Thats my theory and I am sticking to it. Have not read the SBS's (Q&A Oda addition that ends all volumes of the manga).

It is so fun to see you get so hyped over this show.

You're quickly becoming one of my favorite reactors of this show. It's awesome that you took a liking to it from the beginning.

Gotta love Mihawk vs Zoro

Do you still plan on reacting to the live action one piece on your nerdy nightly channel, I'd love to see both of y'all reactions to it

i would not be against more episodes per week

Some people in OP are just really that good and strong without having a Devil Fruit (for example Kuro is insanely fast for a regular human being), though there are some "abilities" that get unlocked going on. I liked that Zoro didn't scratch Mihawk even a little bit, that's the difference between the East Blue and the Grand Line, it's a whole different level.

17 is the age at which someone is considered an adult in Japan, which is why Luffy sets out at that age. Also, Mihawks design is based (in Odas own style) off of Spanish Conquistadors. Thus the Christian iconography.

usually, people don't like the setup because it feels slow, but there are many layers and storytelling beats that make it a better quality compared to most anime for world-building purposes. Compared to FMA where you're pacing through 55ish eps to get to the end. OP usually comes down to the viewer's attention span, which is subjective and not an objective reason to not watch it. It does suffer from pacing issues later on, but the story is still there. 3eps is like a 1hr 5mins compared to 1 episode of [insert generic crime show or talent show] (so most people could do 900eps in 300 days theoretically at that 3eps a night pace) so not enough time excuse I hear doesn't track because you can always drop it?? If you don't like it, but it will always be there to provide good storytelling...while most shows drop off or get cancelled... so why not??

Dracule Mihawk has no devil fruit powers. He is just that strong. He is the best swordsman in the world. Has been for quite awhile. He gets challenged all the time. Plus, he has 20 years of training, and experience over Zoro. Of course he is that much stronger. The cutting of the ship, that will make sense eventually. This is the first hint at just how far they have to go. Not just for Zoro, but for Luffy to be King of the Pirates.

15:53 Nerdy wants Mihawks jacket over Don Kriegs Armor lol

Wait they were that young in clone wars? Never realized that due to how they looked. Snips will always be my fave character from that. Glad she got her own thing on Disney.

Its just one pice logic not magic Mi Hawk has no devil fruit they will eventually show more of his skills.

Nerdy Hawkeye is on the level of strength as krillon I would say from Dragon Ball Z

G'Day Nerdy, I have to mention this because its simply too good not to. Your laugh at 1:50 fits into the one piece world so well and I love it!!! there's some real unique ones. these episodes are fantastic, Mihawks introduction is sick, showing us what some real power can look like. Looking forward to Thursday :)

"Maybe it gets worse" Oh believe me ur in for a ride😭😭... U won't say that ever again

Nerdy should have gotten Claroos into OP, she may like it.

Man, now you got me curious to know who's Jeremy Renner haha.

I didnt know you spoke german

The Live Action did justice to this fight

Je m'attendais pas à une intro en français lol

Who's Jeremy 's Renner?

has been waiting for a day 🎉 now you're back

FRENCH???

If this moment doesn't hook you then the next arc will. Considered by many the best section of the East Blue portion of One PIece. Up to now, there are things that keep you interested but that cements people's commitment to following through with the series. It's worth it, too!
