Yes, Luffy is simple-minded, but not stupid. He is intelligent in many ways, in which other characters are not. For example, he is able to read others’ motives, understand someone’s character, determine what the greatest threat to his crew is and find a way to divert that threat from others and take it onto himself. He is also able to get the big picture of the situation and boil it down to its essence - that takes a certain kind of intelligence - the kind needed to be a successful leader. He is able to see someone’s strengths and weaknesses. He hates cowards and crybabies.
@@slickyami1877 I mean, he went from floating in a wooden barrel in the ocean to having a 1,5 billion berrie bounty, over 5000 subordinates in total practically winning against big mom and being the "unofficial" 5fth emperor
So far, Luffy got on his ship: a Swordsman (1) a Sniper (2) a Cook (3) a Navigator (4) a Doctor (5) a Archaeologist (6) a Shipwright (7) a Musician (8) a Helmsman who is hopefully still alive (9) The only thing left that would make Luffys Crew complete is to have someone reliable on the Lookout. 🥕 (10)
Honestly tell me one shounen series that has a villain introduced like this. And that too the main antagonist of the series like a dark rival. Also BB's traits r pretty unique than most final villains
I hope one day Luffy actually acknowledges the fact that he has the recorces of 1. The Staw hat Grand fleet 2. The entirety of Zoe 3. Any Samurai still loyal to oden 4. Possibly Germa 66 5. Pretty sure Shanks would come help too if Luffy really needed it.
His dad still looks out for him and sabo basically the revolutionary army, newkama land, his grandad, the remains of the white beard pirates and The heart pirates, the sun pirates, water 7 people.
That was a hell of a summary. Well done , you said yourself, it's not easy to summarize a protagonist, especially one that has been existing for 20 years. Awesome video and greeting from Paraguay!
Luffy is by far my favorite character in the OP world. What I have always loved about him is how creative he gets with his abilities. Unlike Goku: no signature moves, no real progress. Goku is a one trick pony. Scream until your opponent gets intimidated.
Dragonball Super Goku is Luffy im Goku skin. It was done by toei animation, do not compare that abomimation to Goku from Dragonball , Dragonball Z and Gt.
I love Luffy for what he is from a story writing perspective. It's clear that at first Luffy's devil fruit seems absolutely overpowered, and Luffy beating Alvida was the reason I and most of my friends thought this. But what's actually going on, is that Oda made Luffy a character that shows how training can make even the most underpowered fruits absolutely broken. Him being the main character also helps us constantly remember this
@CXVII 117 R HOW?!? It can't make earthquakes,give him immortality,turn him into a animal 10 times the amount of a normal human,freeze the ocean become magma, or move at the speed of light. The fruits ONLY strong bc of luffy
The only strong thing the fruit always give you is being able to take any blunt impact without damage. Bullets, maces and cannonballs won't hurt you. The rest is all Luffy himself.
CXVII 117 R in what world??? all luffy can do without training is take a punch and not get electrocuted. He only became invincible to poison by immunizing from it via magellan. He has one of the most useless devil fruits but because of his rigorous training as a child, innovation, and haki he has become one of the most powerful characters in the series. at some point soon he could beat almost any characters in a 1v1.
@CXVII 117 R Without the training the fruit is virtually useless, it gives the user a resistance to blunt attacks but other than that, the elasticity is pointless unless you use the fruit correctly. Which is where the training comes in. You could say all fruits are pointless without training but.. earthquakes..darkness.. lightning
What I love more about luffy as a character is his resolve. Its just ridiculous in a really good way. Like the times he's basically been moments from death and said help whoever like he did with bon clay in the impel down arc. Like I say it's his resolve. Just in terms of getting stronger as well not just for himself but to protect everything he cares for. You could basically say he's pirate goku in a way but definitely a hell of a character.
is it cuz he is made of what condoms are made of, or is it cuz he can just stretch his body over his penis and it would act like a condom? !!serious question!!
@@GrandLineReview hes super thin, has all his teeth, not so affected by physical damage and most important, laugh starts with "LAND of HEAR-ha,ha,ha" instead of "SEA or SEE,ha,ha,ha. That sounded funny in my head promise.
@@kasv4103 That makes no sense. Shuteye Animatic. "See those seas of see those seas that you see on the big screen." People, all the people with big bellys making bigger drums they beat down on you, beat your soul into your shoe. Shoes that are made for walking you lands and other seas. See those seas of see those seas that you see on the big screen. Or at least that's how I remember it going. With a little trumpet at the end of that line.
I mean.. it's like 15+ years, he'll need to remake videos or run out of characters to explain and just stop making videos all-together, cuz he'll eventually run out.
Luffy led the largest breakout from Impel Down? Now that’s not true. It’s established that Buggy was the mastermind and this action, along with his actions at Marineford would net him an invite to become a Warlord of the Sea
It's also important to note that Luffy is a very hands off kind of captain, having no problems taking orders from his crewmates (Nami especially, the quote-unquote second in command of the Straw Hat Pirates) and only really enforcing his status as captain when he feels it's necessary, such as when it's adventure or fight time.
Spoiler if you're not caught up with the manga. Luffy: Break all the mirrors on the ship Nami & Others: But how will you get back?! Luffy: Captains orders. I'll find a way. The only other scenario I can remember when "Captains orders" was brought up was Luffy telling Zoro to save Smoker all the way back in Alabasta from drowning, and even then only Zoro phrased it as that.
Imagine... Your father is the most wanted man Your grandad's a famous vice admiral You have the legendary piratehunter Zoro as your right hand man on your ship Your brother's a world renowned outlaw Your hat was given to you by a famous pirate You've made enemies with the most feared villains And to top it off you have devil fruit powers That screams anime main character
From what I saw from the 4kids dub years ago I thought Luffy was just some wacky Goku knock off. but after getting to know who he really is for the past several months he's easily one of my favorite One Piece characters. I also love his japanese and Funimation voices.
Olivia Linn. Yeah, Colleen Clinkenbeard is incredible as Luffy. especially her god like screaming. it seems like the Funimation dub of One Piece is really underrated now. which is a shame because I was told that people were so happy that it was finally going to get a good dub once Funimation got the rights to it.
Olivia Linn. the most disrespect I've seen of the Funimation dub is a clip where Luffy tells White Beard to shut up. So many people were saying how bad White Beard's voice was. sure it isn't deep and menacing like the japanese but it isn't the worst voice ever.
I’ve seen in the comment section of the dubbed version of One Piece on videos on RU-vid. People are ignorant and just don’t listen to the dubbed version and how much the dubbed voice actors put into their roles. When Robin says she wants to live and that she wants to go with them is so powerful, but many people hate the dubbed because Luffy’s voice is ‘annoying’ and ‘stupid.’
Due to Luffy's trademark number being 56, I suspect that his final bounty when the series is over will be 5.6 Billion Beri. And I say this because not only is it pretty assured Luffy will become the next Pirate King, he is bound to cause far more of a stir in the world than Roger did, so it only makes sense that his bounty before it's all said and done will surpass Roger's 5,564,800,000 Beri bounty. And I have little doubt in this because Oda seems to kinda have that sort of habit
He probably hates it even more after the crap BB pulled before and during the war. Luffy knows cherry pie is BB's favorite because of how they met in Jaya.
Thats because Blackbeard was meant to be the complete opposite of Luffy right from the start, the only thing they are supposed to have in common is their love for being a pirate
I love love love your videos!! These videos are literally what I look forward too!! The world of One Piece is just so large and it needs someone to explain it all! Thanks for doing this!
In a way, Luff is the modern Japanese pirate equivalent of the Fool from "The Fool and the Flying Ship." He also has traits in common with Plastic Man. Luffy's crew itself is sort of a variation of the Fool's own very unique crewmen.
Luffy acquired Conqueror's Haki after being possessed by 100 shadows, he didn't have the ability previously, meaning he either got it from 1 of those shadows or after being possessed, he had awakened the ability as stated by his Grandpa
You may have recorded this before you made the Gomu Gomu explained video but I do think you should have made a small mention of it for people wanting to get to know the fruit more intimately. As this stands as the best 10 min recap of One Piece I've ever laid eyes on so I thank you for this!
Little fact: before the reunion of the the straw hats after their seperation, every time luffy used his 3rd gear attack, he would revert to a much smaller version of himself and be very tired afterwards, however, after the 2 year training and the straw hat reunion, he is now able to use it without worry of becoming small and weary and can even focus his ability to just his hands instead of his entire arm. Also, while not officially confirmed by the creator, fans believe that luffy possesses a special type of armament haki known as gold haki, which is much tougher than regular armament haki and is a sign of being the king of pirates. Extra fact: luffy, usopp and chopper created a silly dance where they stick chopsticks in their nostrils and under their bottom lip and wave their arms around while holding bowls.
I think people forget that when Luffy said about 10 crew members would do, he wasn't including himself. As such, it makes sense as to why Yamato should be the last one.
You’re actually wrong, Luffy doesn’t usually mind cherry pie, he just absolutely hated the one he had on Jaya. In the SBS, Aida says that Luffy’s least favorite food is “a certain establishment’s” cherry pie.
I want to know if I am the only one that thinks his idiocy is just a disguise to mask his hidden genius and ability to plan, but making it look like others come up with it.
Idk if anyone else noticed but tankman (stuffed version) always gave me the feeling that there exists a regular version of Tank Man that Luffy has and that we haven't seen. I wonder what it would look like
Luffy is really my favourite anime main character. Idk what it is about his personality but he’s my all time fave. He’s so ingnorant to so many things yet he’s the most caring character. Getting closer to Shanks must have really rubbed off on him, hes so caring for his friends that they are basically his family and that shows in Luffy. It reminds me of the trap life lmao 😆 we got our crew and it’s undying loyalty to each other and caring of each others well beings. I almost got stabbed and had my bike stolen and now 30+ ppl are looking for the mf who did it to me in my city and once we find him he’s getting a ass beating from at least 5 of us. My homies thought they found my bike (description of the guy and chick were spot on and same colour of frame) and he called up 3 more so 4 of em rolled up to this guy and his chick when he was about to walk into a store and he turned around because he seen em walking to the bike. My one homeboy was right in his face like inches away “you took my homies fucking bike, we’re taking it or your getting fucked up” he was the biggest one of em too lmao. Then another had mase and they were gunna beat his ass if it wasn’t in such a heat spot. Once I told em what happened (the 3 didn’t know just the one who seen the bike and called the boys) they said they woulda grabbed the bats instead and fucked him up real good for me. No ones fucks with us In our city FOE FOR LIFE
I've come to realize, that Luffy is the most dangerous person to ever cross if you threaten someone he cares for. He's quickly grown on me despite me thinking that One Piece was a silly anime for years. Glad that I gave it a chance after so many years.
