Oden Wouldn't Be Oden if it Wasn't Boiled! | One Piece 

Watch episode 974 here! got.cr/Watch-OP974

Oden the best backstory character ever went out like a G

The man was so legendary that he still lives in Kaidou’s head even after 20 years.

Incredible that Oda hasn't fallen off or gotten lazy as a writer. To get so many people invested in a backstory character this late in the series is remarkable.

Died with a smile because he learned everything at Laugh Tale and knows the person Roger was waiting for will come one day. Chaden and Toki both went out like champs :')

Oden has easily become one of the most respectable characters in one piece. The things he did behind the scenes even while getting reprimanded 😭 my man has a heart of gold and steel

My man went out smiling until the very end, even after getting shot in the head. What a legend.

It's crazy, Odens back story is the same length as some seasonal anime. Someone who hasn't watched one piece can watch his backstory like it's a new anime 😂

His entire backstory was a setup for that one punchline…well played.

“I’m oden I was born to boil” 🥲🥲😭 the pain RIP LEGEND

He died like Roger. With a smile. 😞😢RIP Oden

Kaido is going to wish he'd finished Oden in a one on one duel, because giving him a public execution was Kaido's greatest blunder. His death and final words were what inspired his friends and retainers to form a resistance, and what led to Momo and Kine'mon recruiting the Strawhats. Rest in Peace, Kozuki Oden. Even though you didn't have a D in your name, you were the living embodiment of the Will.

I was crying so hard while watching this. What a legend. His death will be remembered along the other OGs like Whitebeard and Roger. "If it wasn't boiled"

You know a characters a legend in One Piece when they smile to their deaths.

Chads never dies, Oden's spirit lives on 👏

He heard them finish his catch phrase. He got confirmation that his will to be remembered over a drink was fulfilled. I'm sure that in the end behind that smile, he feels that he was the one that won here.

One Piece wouldn’t be One Piece if it wasn’t Good.

It is only after the person dies that the people truly recognize their greatness

Oden’s best ability is the ability to smile during the worst case scenarios. Really parallels Luffy and Roger at Loguetown when they were at the execution platform. This scene was beautiful and touching.

Fully knew it was coming, Fully cried, Fully yelled "If it wasn't boiled" while sobbing.

The music Rhythm when Oden smiled was 10/10 for me

The whole scene of him getting boiled..his family and crew crying as he falls into the depths ..is so beautiful.. And the fact that he literally smiled at the end shows us how powerful physically but also mentally oden was RIP LEGEND

Dude this is dark, beyond anything one-piece has done, Jesus

ONE OF THE GREATEST DEATHS IN ONE PIECE AND THE GREATEST FLASHABCK. WHAT A WAY TO ADAPT THIS MOMENT. GOOD JOB TOEI 10/10

Oden is such a major character in One Piece not only his story in Wano he's the reason Roger found the One Piece if it wasn't for Oden's ability to read poneglyphs Roger would never make it to laughtale

Even after getting shot in the head my man was still smiling. RIP ODEN😭😭

He may not have had the *.D* in his name, but Kozuki Oden certainly had the *Will of D* in his soul.

Oden's legacy lives on through his loyal Retainers. His friends. His family. In Luffy. He will open the gates of Wano to the world once again.

Rest in Peace CHAD OF WANO

Already one of the biggest chads in anime

Cha D. Oden went out like all of the Will of D, with a smile

He died as he lived. With a smile on his face while doing his best to keep the people happy and protect them. Rest in peace. Kozuki D. Oden.

RIP THE TRUE SHOGUN OF WANO THE HERO OF WANO THE LEGEND OF WANO THE SAVIOR OF WANO WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU KOZUKI ODEN

Legend

Oden's smile at 00:17 really reminded me of Rengoku's smile right before he died, which is amazing because it feels as if both of them remembered all of the great things that happened to them throughout their lives and all the people they met and loved throughout their lives right before death, which resulted in a pure smile like that of a child.

Me: "There's so many badasses in One Piece. I don't think they can make any more. Wano Arc: "Want some Oden?"

1:16 This is probably the most clear expression of the "dying with a smile" theme we have seen with those carrying the Will of D. across the One Piece story. I'm starting to think there's something deeper to it.

"If it's one on one, kaido will have a hostage"

Does anyone else get goosebumps in that moment when his eyes shut and hes smiling like you almost feel him passing over to the other side good job toei with the music everything you did this moment perfect

At first I though Odens story was good, but not as good as Trafalgar Law´s story. But as soon as he gave us that smile before passing away, I almost broke down crying. That feeling of dying fulfilled, knowing that people will remember you. This is the best One Piece has done yet. Oda hasn´t lost his touch.

The hard part wasn't carrying 9 people while being boiled. It was doing it with those heavy balls of steel.

What a chad, one of my favourite OP characters. Really love the recurring theme of the dish Oden and the name Oden. Amazing writing

To describe Oden in a few words: Wholesome. Badass. A true man of culture.

A man doesn’t die until they are forgotten

Oda created such a epic legend with Oden...

He may not have had the "D" in his name, but he carried the will

“My man hit a pose before he died.”

RIP Oden!! What an absolute legend. I started crying when the people finished the sentence for him smh

From beginning to deathly end, Kozuki Oden definitely lived as a true reincarnation of Ishikawa Goemon

This is by far one of the saddest and coolest death in One Piece😢

Ok this gotta be one of, if not, THE Hardest scene in One Piece history. The graphics, intensity, buildup, and the impact of this arc/scene were executed so well that at times I forgot it was a flashback! They even got a new shamisen bushi that set the atmosphere just right at the end to send off Oden! Props to Oda for this arc and the while One Piece team because they did an amazing job. ODEN NI SOOROUUUU!

He died a chad like whitebeard and with a smile on his face like Roger

Him and Roger really know how to end in a grand way.

I like to think Oden as a combo of sanji, luffy and zoro. That's why everyone loves him. RIP the 🐐. Goaden.

I love that oden smiled as he fell in the arms of death. Bro knows the end before it started

The music at this moment is legendary and epic, just like Oden's character. Well done Toei.

He died smiling like every D and legend. To actually Oda will never top the previous flashbacks...Rest in Power Oden.

In an alternative universe. 4kids still have the rights and have to figure out how to edit this scene

By far one of the greatest Backstories in terms of action and emotions...Best written characters for Me..

when a man understood that he accomplished his role in the world.

Not since Whitebeard Has one piece character, went out in such a Manly way Oden wouldn’t be oden if it wasn’t boiled.✊🏽

If this happened before the popularity pool, Oden will definitely be top 8 not carrot.

Not gonna lie; this made me cry and I'm a 35 year old man smh.

Kozuki Oden. Lived the remainder of his life reluctantly as a joke, and died like a Chad on the other side.

Now he's in the afterlife with all his loved ones R.I.P. CHADEN OF WANO

That smile would have made Roger proud.

It’s amazing how onepiece has such a happy art style and messages about such high morals and can seem so upbeat but also touch on the darkest stories and subjects known to mankind

This scene is really amazing but the music is what makes it complete. It is so good, especially towards the end where there's a shift from "this is the end" kind of tone, but then Oden smiles and the music changed to "this is just the beginning" tone.

Oda needs to stop playing with my feelings 😭 this anime is amazing

Smiling even in front of death. What a legend

He died smiling. He died smiling because he was sure that someone, in the future, will appear to carry on his WILL.

Oden became literally my favorite character of one piece in this short time

He may have died but his legacy will always live on. RIP Oden Kozuki the man born to Boil

Oden is the mvp of wano he carried the whole arc on his back

him going out smiling even after he got shot in the head then say oden wouldnt be oden if it wasnt boiled is like him spitting in kaidos face

"When does a man die? A man dies only when he is forgotten..." Dr. Hiluluk

Best back story in one piece

He went off with a smile, as expected from someone a part of the king of the pirates

One piece will always be the greatest anime

One of the best moments in anime HISTORY

The chad still did his hand stance thingy till his last breath, what a chad

This was one of the best character moments in One Piece!😭

The same people who called him a fool started respecting him again and even finished off the phrase he would sing dancing in the street 🤧

Died the same way he lived. Like a Chad.

What a ABSOLUTE CHAD OF A LEGEND!! Man died smiling in hot boiling oil you’ll be missed Oden. 🙏🏾😢

Oden's smile tho like a true legend

He died like white beard and rogers with a smile on his face.. What a legend.

When I was watching the Zou arc hearing Momonosuke, Kin'emon and Raizo weep about losing Oden to Kaido, I thought "Well duh, Kaido is one of the Yonkos. Why wouldn't it be an immediate K.O.?" But after seeing Oda introduce and show Oden to the entire fandom, I was put in my place. Oden could've been a Yonko if given the opportunity. To make Kaido shake in his boots and go out like a BOSS in a short amount of chapters is an amazing feat in modern storytelling.

idk but just when i saw the smile and heard the music switch up gives me goosebumps every single time, KOZUKI ODEN AND HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON!

When Wano started and we learned about Odens fate, i tought to myself damn his death must have been legendary then. I watched a lot of theories about how he died but none came close to what Oda did here. He catapulted himself into my top 5 characters with this.

“I’d be happy if people talk about me over a drink” He’s a giga chad for saying this man…

"My name is Oden and I was born to......." Crowd without missing a beat: "BOIL!" What a man :')

Man went out almost exactly like Roger. Without regret, and a big ol' f$%k you smile lol. The fact that the citizen's of Wano finished his catchphrase was the most wholesome send off for him despite already being dead.

Come back to see this and cry a bit about Oden. Amazing back story

One of the moments I wanted to see animated the most and I just keep coming back to it goddammit oda

That smile going down into the oil though, chilling, but epic.

He thought about roger laughing and smiled :)

He used those fun words to create a very sad master scene, only Asian people can create such art, changing the sense of the same words

Rest in peace oden you will always been remembered 😭😭

Oden smiling as he's sinking in the oil has so much more weight now from recent revelations
