Looking At Volume Covers! - One Piece Discussion | Tekking101 

pretty sure that symbol on vivi's shirt is the x from the friendship marks they drew on their hands

Have u seen shanks and tekking in the same room .... coincidence I think not

I really respect the covers and colorspreads Oda makes. Usually we don't get to have slow moments where the Strawhats are just chilling out or hanging around like friends. But through those unique pictures we see them interacting in different environments that could've been happening just offscreen in between arcs. It really adds to the sense of camaraderie between the crew

I actually don't mind this chill Tekking

The Alabasta cover with Vivi wearing the X shirt isn't to signify Chopper remember that's the mark they gave themselves because of Bon Clay so they could tell each other apart & at the end of the arc we see the scene where the strawhats have their backs turned to Vivi but they raise their arm & show the X ( Nakama ) symbol

Tekkink over 7 years of RU-vid making Never depended on a greenscreen Or even sat on a chair Respect ✊

When comparing the first volume covers of several series, One Piece was always my favorite. Why? When you look at other popular series like Bleach, HunterxHunter, or Naruto, it's just the main character. And yeah, the Naruto cover has a lot going on, but it's still only Naruto. One Piece on the other hand looked like a group of friends having a good time traveling. And that just seems more interesting and meaningful.

I wonder if it would be possible to take all the volumes and make one big mega volume. It would literally be *One Piece*

Only my man Tekking could make a 34 minute video on book covers.

Volume 89 is by far the best cover of the series. Oda’s covers tend to be a compilation of moments in the story or just sort of a general overview of what happens with the major characters, but this is the only volume as far as I know that focuses on just one single moment. It’s not cluttered, it’s not too simplistic and you can just feel the raw emotion and power coming from Luffy and Katakuri’s faces.

Volume covers are always Oda at his best. What’s your guys favorite, I personally love volume 58.

Sometimes just coming out of the shower, taking a seat in the comfort of your home with a warm mug of hot chocolate and watching a calm, light-minded Tekking video once in a while may not be so bad. With all the recent action in One Piece, sometimes I forget to just look back and appreciate this series as a whole. So thank you, Tekking. This brought back so many nostalgic memories of One Piece and the impact it had on my childhood.

One day, I will collect all the volumes and it'll become One Piece.

Regarding the "little over 100 volumes", I believe there was a different translation (or a correction) that said "it won't end at 100 volumes", so if this one is correct then Oda didn't even hint at the ending.

That one with the straw hats vs baroque works was amazing

The Lost Keys story reminded me of that one time my neighbor broke into my house to wake me up and warn me my balcony was on fire. Not even kidding about that, I owe the man my life. By the time I had pants on the firefighters were on site rushing up the floors to help us contain it. We lived on the 4th floor and apparently the balcony had been burning for hours before anyone was wise to the situation. And as it turns out, the source of the fire had been a joint of marijuana left there by one of my roommate's friends (This was before marijuana became legal in Quebec.) So on top of firefighters looking down on us, the owner of the building screaming his heart out in rage and the insurance companies trying to evade their duties and put the blame on us for gross negligence or whatever, we had the cops roasting us for a confession mere minutes after the fire had been contained, right next to the burned balcony. Closest I ever got to a nervous break down in time of crisis, safe for that one time I almost committed suicide, but that's a story for another time. (Don't worry, I got better.) A few weeks of crushing anxiety later, we managed to get the insurance to pay up for the damages and thankfully had no legal repercussions. Pheww! 😂 Moral of the story, choose your roommates wisely and double check behind any smoker before you go to bed.

21 & 22 was the first and only time Oda had the connected covers, until 99, 100, and 101.

Dude that last part its pretty funny cause i had the worst day ever and seeing you taking it so well kinda makes me feel better

Volume 57 and In general The war of The Best covers were Great! Luffy with WB is just so Great i have to take it as My favorite!

This video is Tekking's idea for a first date.

One piece theory: At 12:52 it's not choppers emblem on vivi's shirt it's an X over her boobs as in X marks the spot, therefore boobs are the one piece, therefore boobs are what all the pirates are fighting for, oda is a genius

13:10 It's not Chopper's emblem, but the X they all got in their forearms

My personal favorite is 64. All the post timeskip strawhats ready to fight and before I even considered Jimbei joining the crew I love how he just naturally fits on the cover with them.

Love the fact, that you made a video about covers! Always felt like it doesnt get as much attention as it should! I always want them as posters

im in love with the reverie drawing that joyboy make, pretty much wallpapaer material there. it capture pretty well the style of our beloved youtubers XD

20:45 I'm extremely used to Summit War

Wish I could watch the reverie, but I have a physics test Thursday and if I don't study it's all over

You can't even begin to understand how huge One Piece is in Japan until you visit. 3 floors in the Tokyo Tower are dedicated to one piece. There's merchandise and branding everywhere, people reading volumes on the train it's amazing.

The fruit power is in shank's cape, not his sword!

on volume 23, the x symbol might have to do with the x on their arms that symbolize their friendship. Is that chapter in that volume?

Summit War is easily my favorite name for that saga. You've got a real talent for making random ramblings really interesting and fun to listen to!

one piece is 1% done probably less and then we are gonna get two piece which will be 10-100x longer

One Piece is truly awesome 😎

Tekking your keys were the one piece

One Piece volume 53 is my favorite! Boa Sandersonia (green haired sister) is bae!!

Tekking!!! After watching this video a year ago you inspired me to get the single volumes and I'm happy to report I have all of them and I'm caught up currently and I'm collecting the new volumes as they release

Tekking could you do the six samurai discussion vid please?Their is a secret samurai named kizaru

Oars is standing right behind Luffy, and both are screaming almost as Oars is mimicking (shadowing) Luffy. That is great

The Luffy Vs Katakuri cover (volume 89) has got to be my favourite cover and I'm going to get that copy as soon as it releases in my town PS: i'm glad you got your subway

The shirt Vivi was wearing was upcoming event where they all have the x on their arm sign of friendship or nakama

Tekking is bored so he's "Looking At Volume Covers" Lol

Glad it all worked out for us, Matt! Thanks for being a boss and still giving us a video. Favourite cover off the top of my head is that one with Sulong Carrot, may edit and change it though.

In comic books, when the characters/objects/speech bubble made it out of the frame, it's called "Bleed"

Are you for real? You never made the connection that the X on Vivi's shirt is the mark of friendship they all got on their forearms? Like you know, one of the most iconic scenes in the whole series? Their goodbye.

The combination of kawaii and sexy is uraraka

Lol. We’ve all had those days, you’re not alone! This is a good video for you to look back on when you’re having a bad day, you made it through this one as you’ll make it through others. (I’m going to get subway now. 😁)

I always thought Toriko had some really cool volume covers and there were a few that you could place side by side.

I have been a huge fan for a long time, btw question, how did Vega punk knew the fruit he made was not good?

.Vol 1 .Vol 21 & 22 .Vol 42 .Vol 61 .Vol 76 .Vol 77 & 78 .Vol 87 My absolute favorite is Vol 64

Make a video about Con.D.Oriano being Im Sama on April 1st

This is the most beautiful video of you Very chill The lost keys arc lmao still better than Fishman Island arc

Marineford, the Marineford Ark, the Marineford War, the Paramount War, the Paragon War, the Whitebeard War, the Summit War, the War of the Best... The Funimation dub called it the War of the Best. I've been calling it the Battle of Marineford for years, since it's pretty much just a massive battle.

I like the version Summit War (which is somewhere I saw the arc called) and it feels perfect because it felt like everything the pre time skip storyline had been climbing towards.

16:30 This cover was animated too, during sabaody after he bounties are shown Shakki is talking about them as a whole and the shot pans up what is a multicolored version of the cover.

@Tekking101 I recently moved to NJ and I'm like 30-40mins from the Delaware River that goes into PA and I been working in this 4 degree freezing weather and everyone is a lil under the weather. Get to feeling better soon.

I’m sorry, if I was in the situation I would’ve broke for a day

It blows my mind how Tekking made a 30+ minute video about manga volume covers

Hope you get better soon Tekking btw great video keep up the good work👍🏻

Chill Tekking is also nice to watch. I can almost imagine I have irl friend to discuss one piece with

I know the arc as "The War of the Best" but "Paramount War" sounds really cool.

Rest up man! I'm sure we are all worried that past 2 days without uploads glad you are fine but ya need to rest up man (y) we all have those kind of bad days but have a good day today!

12:50 it was their friend tattoo

Kawaii + sexy = kawaixy (kowalski)

the Super Spot-Billed Duck Troops are the true gods of Alabasta

yeah of course we all have bad days... but when you're in depression, bad days continue to go on and on and you never know when it will stops, it's hard man

I always called it the War of the Best, its simple but i think it describes it really well

The Lost Keys Saga is an epic for the ages

12:59 come on tekking, you don’t remember the mark that all the straw hats including vivi and caru had on their arm.

Tekking, are you high? volume 23 covers, Vivi has an "X" on her shirt, that's the symbol of friendship between her and the Strawhat. have you forgot about the whole X under the bandage thing? the tearful silence farewell when the whole crew raise up their left arm to show the symbol to Vivi? remember that? EDIT: just got to your key story and... well i don't blame ya if you are high. glad everything worked out in the end for you man.

It was funny listening to your car trouble because it's my job to help people in your situation. I hear this story everyday.

I did for a short period a manga course. I remember, when my teacher said to me that normally, cover pages are usually and ideally more clean, without many characters and details, in order to resume the main information on what the volume is about. But, I've always loved Oda's cover pages! The colorizations are beautiful! It's hard to pick, but my favorites are: 79, 62, 45, 21, 22 and 03 (in this order).

The X on Vivi shirt is the "tattoo" the crew shows to her as they depart

tekking the cross on vivi's shirt is the mark of friendship mark they drew on their hand

My favorite covers are probably 1, 51-54, 58, 59 and 61. 53 takes the top spot though being my favorite overall, just love the colors and I loved this part of the story

Yo tekking has it rough. I wanna hug this guy now just because he looked down today

20:15 War of the Best, because it accurately describes the arc

Tekking: I don’t think it will be that long... Oda: *hold my devil fruit*

11:50 So Carou made that poneglyph that Luffy, Zoro and Chopper found in the desert, so it's a good thing they don't have to turn arround for it. It basicly would only be ducks that could read it anyway if that's the case, only thing Robin would be able to read on it would be "Quack" xD

LOL, can't remember which covers only had two people on it, then holds up one with only Eneru and Luffy on it and points out the fancy border. He then brings out the cover with Oars and Luffy on it. Tekking you make me smile, so do some more Tekking Tumbles.

Karoo being the true villain of that arc would be so funny I would die laughing know everyone was being outsmarted by a duck.

Winter sucks ass man. It's miserable out here in Idaho too. I have really bad anxiety, so any time my car starts to slide I have to take everything in my power not to freak out. I barely leave my house in the winter unless I have to.

One of my personal favourites is volume 89 that cover is AWESOME!

I love collecting volumes when they are designed this well.

I can't wait to see Jinbe in the color spreads hanging out with the crew as a member

It would be interesting if a two volume connecting cover started with the volume that begins an arc and is finished by the last volume of said arc.

I think the border was originally supposed to look like a wanted poster. If you look at the first book, the background colour even fits.

War of the Best is the best imo. It shows that everyone there meant business and were going to give their all

TEKKING how about a full character discussion on ywach Bach, the final villain of bleach.

Volume 6 with the black background and Strawhats in tuxedo is a foreshadowing that Sanji will join the crew.

"War of the best" sounds so powerfull. And the fact that Luffy and Buggy were there it's just great😂😂😂 tbh "war of thr best" fits Whitebeard's name perfect I just love volume 61 cover, my favorite, it shows how fast time pass and how everyone grows

Op is gonna end in just over 100 chapters xD Great video i wanted this for so long

I remember 1 cover were luffy is well dressed using long pants and pointy boots. Is the only image that I have seen of not using shorts or his sandals and thought to myself "this isn't right I don't want to see this".

We love you, Tekking. Sorry bout that trial you went through

Volume 44 has a border is that blue line beneath that spiral background, the number blocks the rest of the border. In volume 23 The shirt that Vivi is wearing could be referencing that X that they had in they arms.

6:43 you do realize that they are all wearing clothes like Sanji

when he says the percentages I take that to mean that when its 100% done we will know all the information we need to know to be happy with the series being nearly over, I say we will get to 100% done at least 100 chapters before the end

We had a big snow storm on the weekend too a solid 12hr of none stop snowing

Love this vid! I only have 6 volumes but i love the last one with big mom and kids

My favourite is Volume 61, because it is Volume 1 2.0 and it marks the halfway point in the story.

My 10 favourite covers are Volume 61 (and 1) Volume 37 Volume 23 Volume 58 Volume 69 Volume 62 Volume 45 Volume 9 Volume 10 Volume 34
