Luffy's backstory sneaks up on you and it's actually imo one of the best in the entire story once you get through all of it. Opening 14 is also one of the best in the entire show, it evokes a lot of emotions everytime I see because I remember my first experience watching through this saga and Luffy's struggles.
43:15 i remember when the opening song got taken, there was two one piece openings with the songs made by the same artist. its actually not because of greed, if i remember correctly, her music was being taken advantage through her contract and in retaliation, she took matters in her own hands and was able to take down most of her songs. which is regrettable because of how loved her music is but i seriously respect her decision. now I'm not fully knowledgeable about this and i could be off the mark in some parts but that's what I learnt from the reasoning. the artist is named namie amuro, if you'd like to research more!
Luffy saying that being lonely is more painful than getting hurt is all fun and games until you remember that his reaction to loss is to start hurting himself…
Omg one of thr best opening song fight not on Netflix or crunchyroll? But every pirate website has it lol (had to use it as netflix in my country only has up to water 7 arc and Crunchyroll from Wano Arc only - which I'm kinda caught up now Haha )
This backstory is a much needed break from everything that just happened. We get to cool off from all that Akainu heat and get to watch a nice story about how 3 boys become brothers. But Oda isn't going to let us off too easy with this one, this ain't no Thriller Bark Arc.
