My Mom Reads Dressrosa's Epic Climax! 

Honestly , the fact that she got to Dressrosa before seeing that picture, is impressive

11:10 "awakened law gets a house" is genius

AHHH Mama herself just did the FraudHawk meme entirely by accident

Sengokus white hair is a Japanese cultural reference. In Japan (and China for that matter) its common for government officials and businesses men to keep their hair died black into old age, only to stop once they have retired. Sengoku just stopped dying his hair when he stepped down from fleep admiral.... aka his hair was always naturally white because hes old.

did mom piece just create fraud hawk in a vacuum

Oh my god Mama Drawk you can't just ask Luffy why he's white 😂😂😂😂

Can’t believe Mama spoiled herself about white Luffy

"Dont ever attach a reason for the love you've received" - Sengoku to Law about Rosinante 😭😭 This destroyed meeee😭😭😭

The Sabo "you haven't changed" line i see less as him denying any change in Luffy, and more him seeing Luffy not being entirely crushed by Ace's death and everything he has gone through and instead him growing and letting those experiences lead his path instead of drag him down

For anyone worried about her seeing "white luffy" She just reacted to 1044 live last night. She did remain technically unspoiled as to what exactly that was. Obviously it's pretty hard for people to avoid that appearance for Luffy cause it's legit everywhere including the app she uses to read. And her reaction to 1043-1045 was golden. (Yes she's seen the anime episodes 1072 and 1073)

I can't believe Mamadrawk came to the FraudHawk painting his sword black meme.

One of the great things about One Piece is that you can be spoiled on the huge stuff but there is a lot of small stuff that will still never get spoiled

10:22 WAIT!!! I saw a theory at one point that mentions how Moria could combine his shadows with Luffy's gear 5, so as to make Luffy have the experiences of other people. Luffy has a vivid imagination, but he doesn't have enough of an understanding of other things to imagine far enough for them. Imagine for a second, that Brook does awaken his fruit, and he's able to tune other peoples souls to a particular frequency to empower each other, and now Luffy get's not just a stat boost but possibly his crews understanding of their expertise. He can think to suck in clouds, beat his belly to churn a thunderstorm and spit out lightning if he thinks how Nami does, He can rubberize swords in his own way from thinking like Zoro, He can funkify some kicking moves from Sanji! Imagination can be very high, but it can only go so far with what you know.

the further i get through the mama reads series, the more i appreciate franky as a representation of manliness. is it kinda stupid? yes. is it entirely presentational? yes. is it also _rad as hell?_ yes. franky isn't a perfect guy, but he's the manliest man who ever walked the surface of the earth, and even with that, he's still allowed to be an emotional wreck and cry at someone's sad story. he's a problem-solver, an upstanding guy and someone who doesn't take advantage his position, history or strength to hurt innocents. he's also literally a toy robot and allowed to be the avatar of "9-year-old me would be screaming right now".

I like the discussion you guys had on Senor Pink, how a character can have a sympathetic/sad backstory and be a loving man while also being a bad person. Real people are complicated, just because you like their personality doesn’t mean they have to be a good person. Also thank god Mama found the Baby 5 pages, really essential for appreciating her character.

this arc has by far the most hard boiled fight in the whole series. god damn

44:00 Luffy has been entirely open about needing help from the very beginning of the story. He says right out when fighting Arlong that there are plenty of things he can't do, and that's what his crew is there for.

One cool fact during this arc there was a character popularity pole where fans could vote for there favorite character and every time luffy would win and by a landslide but during this arc law got second place he was the closest to ever win

Drawk's drawing makes it look so easy and, yet, it's so hard. So unsetteling how someone's talent and hardwork can make you go "oh, yeah, so how can't I do the exactly same thing???". Keep the good work, as always.

I think a better sports analog for the Franky v. Senior Pink fight is professional wrestling, not Sumo. In professional wrestling, you take every single hit without blocking.

That's not Baby 5's actual name, by the way. In chapter 763, in a flashback to child Law's time on the crew, she and Buffalo say those are their code names and they have real names that go unmentioned.

I cant believe Mama is caught up and we're only in Dressrosa.

Mama doing arts and crafts, suddenly realizing "Maybe I'm not supposed to see this white Luffy" is such a scene

12:30 I considered the same thing (haki might have sub-classes other than the 3 we know) with Usopp's "Observation" awakening, because we havent seen any visual like that to represent observation haki. I dont feel as strongly about it now, but I do believe (If it isnt some unique sniper haki) his range of observation is still bonkers. Its nice to see Usopp become a proper superhuman after his insecurity in water 7.

Black Blades, I believe have absorbed so much haki that they retain a portion of that power. Like how Shusui enhanced Zoro's phoenix slashes against Oars. - I also wanna state that I, personally, prefer "Boundman" as voiced by Mayumi Tanaka

I need to defend Fairy Tail since it’s become a series that is commonly put down and made fun of for almost no reason (Usually people calling it a One Piece clone). First it absolutely takes inspiration from One Piece to some extent, as do pretty much every shonen series in the past decade… in the same way the Big 3 all take inspiration from Dragon Ball. The guildarts comparison in particular is obnoxious because it’s a common archetype character of the badass mentor, the similarities with Shanks are the archetype of the character, the loss of body parts (which Gildarts lost in a battle with a dragon off screen not protecting the protagonist like Shanks did), and finally the red hair (Which is actually a dirty blonde in the manga and was made red when the anime aired). As for the coliseum, that’s also a common Shonen trope called a tournament arc. The similarities are almost always common tropes, or things that could be inspired by One Piece but are certainly not plagiarized or ripped straight from One Piece. As for the idea that Oda made some additions to this arc to mock Mashima like the Lucy thing or the fairies stealing Zoro’s swords; it’s totally possible that Oda felt that way and did that intentionally, but I hardly think Oda feeling that way makes it true or acceptable to put down a whole series just because there are a couple things similar to One Piece.

Do you think Law could remove all his organs and store them somewhere to prevent internal damage?

I think Baby 5 wears a maid outfit because she wants to be helpful and maids are known to be helpful.

So i was lucky enough to see the very first episode of Mom Piece just a few days after it came out on RU-vid. Ive been trying since then to catch the streams but unfortunately i work in a 'on-call' industry. I have only been present on stream for maybe a total of 3 hours. That being said, i want sincerely thank the editors for getting the youtube vids out for us Squishies who cant consistently make the streams. Drawk, you are incredible. Your art and insights are thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks bud! Mama Drawk, what the f*ck. Ive read the series no less than 4 times and not a single episode goes by without you absolutely blowing my mind with an insight i had never considered. Thank you thank you thank you. Appreciate you all on the Drawk team

FOR THE FAIRY TAIL GILDARTS THING, IN THE MANGA HE LOOKS PRETTY DIFFERENT TO SHANKS AND HE EVEN HAS BLONDE HAIR BUT THE ANIME CHANGED HIS HAIR TO RED WHICH IS WHY ALL THE SHANKS COMPARISONS HAPPENED

this is why i have love hate with mama drawk. she's so cool, and almost precise to make a prediction. idk what mama drawk read in her entire life but that crazy, with that numerous reference to make a prediction. chef kiss 👌

Im so glad they enjoyed the Senior Pink vs Franky fight. I had the misfortune to experience it through toei animation's swamp of a dragging adaptation. Re-reading it in the Manga felt so liberating. No lingering closeups, no overly stretched out reactions from his fangirls, no repeating attacks. Just two badass characters trading blows like in one of those slap competitions.

Showed up in my recommendations before I got the notifications. My RU-vid is working well

couldnt wait for you to get to that fujitora line, that hit me so emotional during that episode

You know that you're a hopeless OP fan when you fall asleep while binge reading the manga 😅

This has spelled out the two possible endings for One piece, either Luffy will die the world's freeist man, or he will live giving up his freedom to become a leader.

I know in the manga, Gildarts was a dirty blonde (the mentor from fairy tail). However, for some reason, the anime gave him red hair. Aside from that they're not all that similar. The only other connection between them being the lost limb. Shanks sacrificed his arm to a weaker enemy to save Luffy, while Gildarts got fucked up because he fought the last boss way too early by himself.

You look handsome today, Drawk.

We draw ever closer to THE BEST ARC IM SO HYPE, WCI HERE WE COME

That scene of Fujitora's goodbye gets me tearing up every time i hear it. It's so gorgeous.

As far as fujitoras speech about wishing to see luffys face. Both voice actors do such an amazing job, you should definitely check it out mama, I cry every time. That and the passing of the merrygo, actually...if you have the time to watch all 1000+ episodes after your done reading it, I recommend it.

I'm here early to say thank you for giving me something to listen to at work tomorrow 8) Also like clicked!

Another great readthrough! I love the perspective y'all bring to the story, it helps me appreciate my favorite odyssey just that much more ^^ Also I love the observation that Luffy has to grow after this arc because I came away feeling very similarly. This arc reignited my Vivi joins the Straw Hats copium because she's the one who first taught Luffy what being a leader means. I think it would be poetic for her to help teach him once more after all she's learned in the last two years.

My favorite part of Dreasrosa is how PISSED Luffy gets at Doflamingo. I have not seen this much personal vitriol from Luffy towards a person since like, Rob Lucci

Watch the "I bet you look kind" scene. Wholesomest moment in OP.

the problem mama has with sabo is literally a translation. kawatta is impossible to directly translate to english & translators usually go with “you haven’t changed a bit” which is totes different vibes than oda/japanese authors intend…

Great work guys, you nailed all my favorite parts. Quick story: i started watching OP on an illegal streaming site around 06-08 in a vacuum, had no idea how popular it was, had never heard of it and didn't socialize online about animanga at all. I didn't take it seriously, didn't analyze much, just watched it like a fun really good cartoon..... But then at the end of DR, the moment Fuji wishes he could see Luffy's face as the people of DR flood the scene pretending to chase Luffy out while actually thanking him and protecting him with their bodies.... The whole thing fell on me at once and i realized One Piece is actually a genius work of art.... And then Luffy saying he doesn't want to be a big shot, he just wants to be the freest man on the sea... Ughhh! ODAAAAAAA!!!!!! Probably the only true epiphany road to Damascus moment of my life. Imagine my surprise when I jumped on twitter to tell the world about it and found out that it was already the best selling manga of all time 😅 ALSO for people who read One Piece but don't like Luffy: I'm sorry but you're reading it wrong. Luffy IS the other good characters in that he carries their will upon his shoulders ("the weight of history"). You can't love One Piece if you don't understand Luffy. He is everything because he is the light in the darkness for everyone.

So fast! Soooo happy!

Awakened Law upgrades "Room" to "Roof".

Yall this was nice!

Sorry for any grammar mistakes that are made. Using texts to speak to shortcut.this topic gets me heated, so I am shortcuting it. You guys do an amazing job at showing points that I wouldn't realize. Fariy Tail, get a bad rep by the anime community in general and the RU-vidr (just stop) made a video talking about this topic, and yes, there's more similarities, but they are coincidental or do to the anime changing thing Fariy Tail usually gets put down for the power of friendship ,fanservice , copy, etc. Gildart and Shanks have similar designs because of the anime change .Shanks lost his arm, protecting luffy and placing his bets on the new era, while gildrats lost his arm and leg due to a mission that was all screened which showned the level of danger that the world can still bring as he was one of the strongest in the world and to give give hope in the Mc for his own personal quest which was stated episode 1 which was to find some one. Hiro Mashima is a great manga artist. That tends to be overlooked

Fudge yea, let go drawk and mama of drawk, love you guys.

Whenever I listen to these two talk about themes and propose theories about what is going to happen I just think of how cool it would be if they read Umineko eventually and hearing what they would have to say about that especially since Drawk himself probably hasn’t read it.

Who the heck says ‘Bound Man’? Flavorless, dull, devoid of joy. Bounce forever!

I live for these

I'm late but: In relation to Sabo's line: "You hadn't changed a bit" (or something like that), I was watching a reaction on Alabasta and Ace says the same thing when they encounter. I know it's not the same and a lot of time has passed but this sentence comes more endearing to me than a through "evaluation". Would be better if he said: You are energetic and happy as ever"

As far as I understood it they made a creative choice to color haki post time skip to make it read better. When Luffy uses elephant gun on the kraken chopper makes the comment "was it always like that?" when Luffy uses armament suggesting it's visible. I also look at it as maybe more advanced haki why we're seeing it now whereas pre time skip cp9 using iron body and such with no black coating, But that's just my interpretation/explanation.

“If you die today it will be after me” is an ice cold line 🥶

This is really blowing my mind

11:39 Mr. Noddy has been a childhood fever dream for me for the last 20 years lol

When Fujitora revealed that he blinded himself... I was completely blown away. I thought we may have found one of the few rare Marines who actually believes in blind justice. You can see how much he struggles with himself when he does the celestial dragons bidding

Getting spoiled for that from the card game was the reason I caught up on the series (previously had only read up to book 20 like a dozen times)

Haki is not visible. It can only be felt by those who can use it or feel it. As we cannot use nor feel haki, so it is shown visibly for us feeble viewers

From what I remember from Gabiru D Rat's lengthy RU-vid video essays, Lao G is meant to be a parody Lao Tzu, and whatever he's doing with his body he's doing it wrong because Garp and Rayleigh are older than him and stronger than him, and he's in worse shape than Kureha.

Mama Drawk talking about Lao P was not on my bingo card 😂

Greetings from Germany 🌈✌️

I love this arc, but damn it got me in the feels. Law's backstory, Senior Pink's backstory, Kryos' story and Riku begging for someone to kill him.

And Drawk, no. It was never a theory that Conquerors Haki was involved with awakening due to the fact that the very first awakened devil fruit users we've come across were the jailer beasts in Impel Down and they were completely mindless. Also, it has been known for a very long time that Miss Golden Week's color abilities are just hypnosis, which is a well established power system in of itself in the op universe with people like Jango. It was said in an SBS suuuuuuper long ago. Why not mention that during Moma's long color rant? :P

36:00 yeah monet definitely fits the bill too

"doffy's got a cocky swagger" god I love mama drawk haha

Mihawks sword is called a black sword because it was permanently changed black due to the imparting of haki. Much like how Enma has traces of Odens haki. Haki can be imparted on anything, but imparting onto one thing or object enough creates an imprint and haki is (to a degree) absorbed by the object

Yes!

On the topic/debate on if Haki is invisible or not, what I've heard and generally believed (for the most part) was that Haki is invisible, even to those who know about Haki and/or have observation Haki. It is just that the characters in the series are able to sense Haki rather than directly seeing it and the black coloring used to depict Armament Haki was purely for the audience's benefit for us to be able to tell if, when, and where a character used their Armament Haki. I'm still not 100% sold on this idea, and I would want to know if there was ever any mention about this from Oda himself, but on the assumption that Haki is invisible it makes Gear 4 look way more ridiculous of a form without the Armament Haki pattern on his chest and arms.

11:44 No! Mama is on to something! I don't know to what extent they were in media but they had a animated shorts thing and when I was a small child back in the early 2000s Arby's had a toy event where they handed out little shiny sweat shop plastic figurines of The more notable cast of The Little Mr Little Miss show

Brooks awakened fruit would definitely be called dead man’s parade or something like that. Army of the dead

I haven't listened yet i just saw this but I'm here putting my comment on it

7:00 Don't worry, Luffy just a deal in a Bleach commercial ^^

Doffy took Usopp more seriously than Luffy.

5:20 That just goes to show how you shouldn't even google anything that can get one piece related results until you are caught up to the latest chapter. If there are two definites about the internet it is that 1. it was made for the purpose of sharing cat images/videos, and 2. one piece spoilers are all over the thing.

I am pretty sure mama drak would like Frieren

The black sword is something that everyone saw.

Hard style is a style of professional wrestling that started in Japan. It's the one that really hurts. Also this arc was being released when New Japan was getting big again in the West

Finally!!!! I really never click so fast

I don't think any Haki is visible, Users can only perceive the way it's being used🤔Black Blades are a different thing cause it's not to just the Swordsmans Haki which is why they're permanent... Might be wrong but this is how I've always interpreted it🤷🏾‍♂️

I think Haki has to be visible, because Gear Four uses a ton of Armament Haki, and I feel like if other characters weren't seeing it the same way we were, Oda would point it out. I have deeper theories, but I'll have to wait until later developments to dive into them.

36:33 With all due respect Luffy Does want to be and needs to be the strongest person on his crew because he believes strong people can do what ever they want, because they are strong. And Also Luffy Feels he can’t be Pirate king if he is not strong enough to fight for it, Since he meet shanks crew he has learn that being a pirate means putting you life on the line to be free. Lest not for get Luffy Saw Lucky Rue kills someone just for point a gun at the captain Shanks, knowing damn well that gun was never going to hurt shank “The crew” Luffy didn’t know for sure. But he saw that man get killed of principle and then he saw shanks save him and give up his arm to a monster that he bitch slapped 10 years later. SO ALL IN ALL LUFFY DEFINITELY WANTS TO BE THE STRONGEST ON HIS CREW.

Okay my theory about Brook awakened is he would either completely regenerate or be able to possess people.

If you full screen on the iOS app it actually does of a button to still like the video without leaving full screen, but either way I like videos at the beginning already and just remove it if a didn’t like the video.

Fairy tail's creator worked on the early days in onepiece

Cant wait for wano kuni

Don Frye vs Yoshihiro Takayama is Franky vs Pink

Luffy trusts, and that is freedom

Hell yeah boundoman!

I think there are two types of Haki. There is basic black Haki and then more advanced invisible Haki.

Surprised no one renamed Lao G to Lao D

I love bounce man, but it was really hard to draw a cute chibi for, so I gave up on obsessing over it. Other forms make that easier. Luffy is adorable/cool in most forms

I always thought the black blade thing was an evolution of haki specific to weapon users who can effectively make their blades permanently haki infused and this makes them black since mihawk references zoro crafting his own black blade during the training And if i had a nickel for every time oda made explosive snot I'd have two nickels but it's weird that it's happened twice

Did he just straight up correct her theory about Sanji?

Mama drawk needs to read hunter x hunter, i think she'd love it (it might result in sleepless nights)

Its almost like nobody understands zoro, I wish someone would make a video about that
