But the closest scene for me was when the going merry said it’s final good in the anime like you feel hear and see all the emotion and live packed into it’s final goodbye.
Got a similar reaction when listening to Kellen Goff's performance in the english dub of Sasaki & Miyano. He was able to cram so much emotion and humor into this one character in a way that I'd never heard an english dub actor pull off before! It was enough to make me smile so wide it hurt and cause tears to form at points. A performance hitting you that hard is one of the best experiences one can have I find, so I'm glad you were able to have that with Luffy! Damn, this is just making me wanna actually start One Piece. ^^;
