First of all the cannonball (or buggyball) would hit the cage before luffy and its too big to go through the bars plus, in order for luffy to bounce the cannonball off, he needs to make himself into a balloon since he is in a small cage he can't do that either. The cannonball explodes and can take down a number of houses at once. I think if the cannonball would break the cage and freeing luffy, he would still take damage from the hot explosion but not from any physical impact. If i got a dollar everytime i said cannonball i would have 5 dollars
I'm glad you've picked up on how smart Luffy is so early, he's a very intentional fighter. He's not traditionally smart - he wouldn't score well in school - but his emotional intelligence is off the charts and he's very good at abstract thinking. Objectively speaking "made of rubber" isn't a very strong ability. It becomes strong because of Luffy's imagination. I don't know that Luffy is intentionally putting on a front. Rather he goes through life honestly completely confident that he's going to be King of the Pirates. So, why would someone as weak ad Buggy register as a threat? I think Luffy sized up Nami and knew she wasn't going to light the cannon, so the surprise came from going from "she won't light it" to "THE CANNON GOT LIT?!"
@@supattreewatanawong5025 The manga did it better by hiding it with paneling. It was really dumb to make the hand invisible here. Literally everyone I've seen react gets confused by that.
An important thing to know about Luffys powers is that he is not Mr.Fantastic, his body is made of rubber. He stretches with momentum and his physical strength, not some ability to control morphing.
Loved that you pointed out Luffy’s ‘blank stare’. This is reflected in the manga too. Just images of Luffy’s face, no speech, no thought bubbles, but you just know he’s observing and assessing his crew, the situation, and how the characters react directly in scene. And it’s usually during key moments. It’s cool that they adapted this so early on in the anime too. Good catch!
I just absolutely love how unhinged Luffy appears this episode. The "I will kick your ass" bit where he bites the blade off, the crazy laugh and the face he makes when the canon is pointed at Buggy. These are some of the reasons I love early one piece!
@@atheos.1383 yup that true. but the crew and him were dealing with a lot just before the time skip, which made them more calm and mature. I love that Luffy got that unhinged laughter (I would even say more unhinged than this ep) back tbh lol.
when Buggy chockes the guy with "telekinesis": people who don't know about his powers: *visible confusion* people who know about his powers: *visible confusion*
Fun tidbit about Nami: Tangerines are associated with wealth and prosperity. So when Nami says she loves "money and tangerines" it's a bit of a double meaning where she's effectively saying "I love money and more money."
@@roronoauchiha69 There's that angle too but I wanted to avoid spoilers. But the "money and more money" is absolutely a core part of her character too. Hence why it's a DOUBLE meaning.
@@roronoauchiha69 Spoilers for anyone who hasn't started One Piece and gotten to that part yet. Also, not only are puns and double meanings the bread and butter of the Japanese, but Oda employs wordplay, puns and double meanings constantly. Please stop acting like this is some kind of reach when it's just a neat little tidbit about Nami's character. Or are you going to argue next that Zoro's attacks aren't riddled with wordplay and puns as well?
Omn1 man, it's only 5 episodes in, but I just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying this journey with you! I've read the manga multiple times, and through other reactors, I've seen the anime countlessly. But this slower pace, where you get to really take time to appreciate the story being told, this is how I feel the story should be consumed! Great reaction dude!!
Luffys powers dont work like plastic man from dc or mr fantastic from marvel. Hes like an actual rubber band, it can stretch but it has to be applied by force. He can't just morph his body as he likes, like if it was puddy
Luffy's kind of rubber powers isn't like Mr Fantastic, who can morph himself into any shape he wants. Luffy generally needs some kind of force behind his stretching, so if he wants to stretch his arm back, he needs to throw it back with force and momentum. If he wants to expand into a balloon, he needs to breathe in a bunch of air to expand his body. So when it comes to being tied up, he can't just compress his entire body to make the ropes fall off and slither out. I don't think this is a spoiler, it's just something visually communicated by how he uses his stretching power and is the general interpretation of how people have come to understand his power.
The live action made this a bit unclear I think, with Luffy's first move after getting shot in episode 1. He just morphed into a C shape without any momentum, looked super weird.
Spoiler: Gear fifth does not require force though, so his awakening negates this limitation and allows Luffy to do whatever he imagines. His mind and body becomes one with the powers.
so they actually messed up when animating buggy choking his man out. They showed it like there was an invisible force choking him. In the manga it was drawn similarly but the choking guy's chin was down and his hands were covering his throat. The original drawing got most people to assume something like telekinesis by hiding the hand choking him/lifting him up (during those shots/panels you also never get a look at Buggy's right hand to hide it's detached) but the animation just makes it look like the hand is invisible and being invisible is DEFINITELY not a power Buggy has.
The reason why Luffy's voice sounded so familiar to you may be due to the fact that his voice is the same as the JA voice of Krilin from the Dragon Ball series (I don't know if you are familiar with the Japanese dub of Dragon Ball). By the way, Buggy in the manga is even more fierce and vile than in the Anime, after choking that one dude he basically blew him up with the the Buggy ball which is fucking savage and ridiculous at the same time LMFAO😂🤣
Like many others have already said, the animators made buggy's hand invisible solely for the purpose of keeping his powers a mystery. This way of obscuring powers for mystery will be kept up for a while (i can't remember for how long) so keep that in mind when you see more unknown devil fruit powers
So they tried to obscure Buggy’s powers so you can find out when Zoro is stabbed for dramatic effect but it doesn’t work well and the animators have stated that they should’ve just used different angles where they didn’t show the guys throat cause they didn’t draw Buggy’s hand gripping it.
The thing about Luffys power is that he's not Reed Richards. He can't deform at will, he needs to put a lot of force behind his limbs to make them stretch. Although.... I think he definitely could've gotten out of that cage.
The reason the Buggy Ball is a threat to Luffy in this situation is due to the fact that there are metal cage bars between him and the canon ball. So he can’t just bounce it back. It’ll hit the cage bars first, and that means shrapnel, which is no bueno for our stretchy boi. He may be nearly immune to bludgeoning damage, but he’s still susceptible to slashing and piercing damage.
Thank you for the video! It's always great to hear your thoughts. I think you're completely right about Luffy just going along with things as long as he thinks are fun, but he can't stretch the way, say, Mr Fantastic does. He's more like a rubber band that snaps back, he needs leverege and space to throw a body part (like his fist or foot) back to gather force with his own strength. Stretching his hand like he did for food in this episode was done through walking his fingers across the ground: it doesn't have a lot of strength, and he couldn't manage to stay stretched for very long. Luffy and Zoro are just so on the same wavelength, it's always great to see. Buggy was great in the live action. I think that the live action did was to imagine what Buggy did after he already destroyed the town, but in the manga and anime he never gets that far. The telekinesis thing is just the animators wanting to keep Buggy's powers secret for longer in a misleading way. In the same scene in the manga, the angle is what keeps you from seeing what's going on. (Also, in the manga, Buggy actually kills that guy.) I think this particular episode handles a few scenes less than ideally, both with Buggy's hand and the length some scenes go on for (come on, Buggy's crew could totally have run away much faster before the cannon ball goes off), but I just tend to imagine that everything happened faster, lol. I agree completley about Hollywood's adaptations. They underestimate the audience way too much. This arc ends in episode 8, so you know. The arcs are longer in the anime, and the next one goes from episode 9 and ends at episode 17. Episode 18 is a standalone, and after that, it's Baratie.
Never ever apologize for repeating the weird noises/laughs people make in this show because it amuses you. I do the same thing nearly every episode, especially the little noises that Luffy makes. 😂 I love these early episodes before Luffy has gained his own reputation where no one takes him seriously until they learn that Roronoa Zoro serves him. It’s a fun way to shorthand telling us that Zoro has a big reputation in the East Blue without having to belabor the point with flashbacks or montages of what he was up to before meeting Luffy.
3:26 Yeah that's an animation thing that they did back in the day to hide his true power. They just make It invisible until they reveal it later on. 21:11 well Oda IS a Star Wars fan. Recently there was a video of Inyaki the kid who plays Luffy in the live action visiting his home and HE HAS A LOT OF LIGHTSABERS and a mask of Vader. So this could be a nice nod to that.
I really like that explanation with why most almost all live actions dont make it work. That's the main difference between real humans and animations, anime have the freedom of time and resources to be able to explain everything in their universe while we are accustomed to how movies work in real life. We try to understand whats happening in them. Their are anime moments that just dont work in live actions, like imagine people explaining every move, ability or information about their powers, it takes time which is cool on anime but is so much precious in real life. Plus most live actions try to copy the literal emotion/expression on animes which i think is the special feature of them. Those feeling that you can only create in animes and if you try to copy them exactly, they appear super unnatural when done in real life.
3:43, its just the anime playing with audience. Its actualy his choped hand that choke that guy, but the Toei decided to make the hand "invisible" and mislead the audience to think that was somekind of "force choke".
3:24 Yeah, I don't know why they did that, well sure, in the manga you can't see Buggy's floating hand choking that guy so at this point you can assume he has telekinesis, but the anime went out of their way to show it like there's an invisible hand
omg, I'm so excited when you mentioned about Rurouni Kenshin live action! Those movies are epic, really, maybe one of the best live action adaptation. It would be nice to see your reaction to Rurouni too if possible. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy your One Piece reaction videos :D I'm looking forward to your next contents!
the way I've always taken the "luffy scared over the buggy ball" scene as pretty logical actually. First, he's currently tied so that he cant properly expand/inflate himself, and second, it would have hit the cage first and detonated, and he'd have been burned by the explosion.
The way I've always interpreted Luffy getting into disadvantaged situations that he should really be able to get out of is that he's barely ever bothered to actually try and get out of them in the moment because he's not afraid to die and he's not afraid of losing. Oh, you tied me up? That does not inconvenience me at all. Put me in a cage? That won't limit me. He does not respond like a regular person who immediately tries to get out of such situations because he's Luffy. Of course, he could just be stupid. Or it's both. It's hard to know the line with him.
LOL Omn1Media! Buggy have not telekinesis powers. Anime misunderstood manga passage were this guy was suspended by Buggy hands in his neck and we don't see that cause in manga the hand of the victim covers Buggy hand. Probably the idea was to make the fingers appear out of nowhere, but anima don't get it and make Buggy "open his hands" instead. And... Ah yes, about Luffy's powers and him not stretching to free himself from ropes, chains, or even passing through bars... What you have to understand is that firstly he is not a genius. And secondly, Luffy is very instinctive, which means he often goes with the flow, even though he can act against it. So the closer answer to this question would be "yes, Luffy could free hinself, but he was playing dummy probably attached to Nami ask him to do that".
Luffy uses his fruit the way he has imagined it to work, which is like a rubber band. He can stretch himself out, but he's not Mr. Fantastic. If he pushes himself one way, its going to snap back on him, so he has to use that force to his advantage instead of going against it. Like with how he uses his Pistol and Rocket techniques.
Doing things "Flashily" will have better context when you know Buggy's story. Although, I didn't get it until I saw a comment. You have a while to go before the dots on that connect. I can't recall if it was ever expressly stated. In the least spoiler way possible, he says it because he is trying to emulate someone in his past.
the anime tried to replicate a moment i the manga, but where oda hid buggy's hand by jsut using clever panelling and character poistioning, the anime team jsut went "ehh fuc it" and made buggy's hand outright invisible for no reason.
If someone pulled him on both ends yes, but he's not like the elastic guy in fantastic 4, he still has bones and such. and we don't naturally have muscles that extend our spine for obvious reasons.
The show will explain how Devil fruits actually work so just keep watching. Enjoying your reactions btw. Eventually a 3 episode reaction is a good pace but I understand if ya keep going the way you are. Just saying I know it's going to be tempting and frustrating to get left out on a cliffhanger
Let me tell you about Zoro's strength, that son of a bitch can lift about half of a freaking building, just imagine a four story apartment that was cut in half and this guy was lifting and then throwing it, which is freaking wild to me.
So Luffy isn't Mr fantastic. He is a human whose body has rubber properties. Touching his skin isn't like touching rubber. It's still skin but it stretches, a lot. His bones are bones but they stretch. He's like the old stretch Armstrong toy. His body naturally wants to be in it's normal state. But through various ways Luffy can use his stretchy power to boost his normal physical power and use kinetic force from stretching added on. But he has to use his muscles to stretch out and in so it's hard for Luffy to get out of things that directly wrap around him he would need to somehow use his own muscle to squeeze himself. Throwing out ur arm and rebounding ok. Suck in air get fat ok. Getting skinnier. Can u make a tire squeeze through a hole. Luffy base no stretching is like a tire
yeah logically you're correct that Luffy should be able to just squeeze through the bars. it's one of those things you just have to suspend your disbelief for. yeah luffy is airheaded so you could read it as him being too stupid to know he can escape, or you could say he's so sure of himself he's just not concerned enough to try to escape. i think the reality is if Oda thought out all the possibilities the devil fruits power actually provide he'd have a hard time creating scenarios with tension. So yeah, in my mind Luffy just can't escape here. also i don't think he could just bounce back the buggy ball because it'd detonate on the cage first before making contact w/ Luffy, but at the same time per my argument above i could imagine a scenario where the buggy ball breaks the bars without blowing up and then luffy bounces it back. kind of a wishy washy explanation but it is what it is.
The "telekinesis" is just the anime being dumb, in the manga we dont actually get a good look at the guy's neck, Buggy was just using his hands to choke him and lift him up. Same thing with Luffy breaking the swords in the first episode without meaning to, even tho we know that swords are supposed to be able to hurt him, the anime just made some bad decisions.
Luffy is a problem solver who has very clear goals, but he also lives in the moment and doesn't plan ahead much at all. I don't think he has a good grasp on the full extent of his devil fruit's abilities yet. It is still a little disappointing that he didn't find a way out of the ropes. I think that's part of why the live action switched to the water tank.
Yes Luffy is simple minded and the choke part still confuse me I think the idea was what you said like this is a new villain with a power we don't know and then the surprise he also have Devil Fruit powers. Also Oda the creator said tha if he do the manga all over again he would change some things specially in the beggining so in the live action there might be some things he wish he maded different and others that you can't bring them to reality, that would weird
The manga did a better job hiding Buggy's powers. Here, it just looks like Buggy has the force at first. Not to spoil anything, but this happens again with another character later.
Also, he has to expand for the cannonball to not hit him. The explosion would kill him. Also, he's made of rubber like a rubber band. He's not literally Mr. Fantastic.
@@Omn1Media upon reread, it seems like I'm yelling these. But I want to make it known, it's far easier to break a sword than to get out of rope restraints.
I had to go check the manga and yeah in the manga the darth vadering thing is done way better, it's not nearly as misleading. The anime just made some really weird choices there
You like laughs!? You think Buggy has a funny laugh!? Hahaha. Lol. Just wait. I think there is a meme vid showing nothing but One Piece characters laughing their entirety unique and different ways. 😂
You're just doing one episode at a time!!? Are you crazy? What's wrong with you. I just watched 10 episodes and that's not even 1 percent. This will take over 500 weeks if you do 2 a week. But I'm here for it.
you may not have seen the first several reactions or maybe haven't seen the intros to said reactions, but he has mentioned several times that he does not want to catch up to the OPLA before season 2 comes out. he wants to watch that with fresh eyes so he's not always pointing out all the differences. with that being said he figures that by the time that he catches up to OPLA season 1 season 2 should be out.
One tip going forward: If you start to think too much about how the "powers" work, powerscaling, abilities and such, you're gonna have a tough time making sense of things. If that's something you're like it's all good, but I think there's more fun in focusing more on the nuances of what characters says, why the act the way they do, and overall themes of the story (even more considering a lot of those were lost on the live action). And yes, Buggy doesn't have telekinesis, it was a camera trick to not show his body parts separated.
I think Buggy has telekinesis but it is rarely used. Luffy's Japanese voice actor is Mayumi Tanaka and his English voice actor is Colleen Clinkenbeard. Wow Luffy is voiced by talented women.
He doesn't have telekinesis unless you count moving his own limbs about. The animation team just messed up the scene. What's supposed to be happening is buggy using a detached hand to choke his man out. The original drawings hid the hand so you'd assume it was another power but instead of hiding the hand the anime drew it as if the hand was invisible.
Getting to your comment about on prev episode about the gun & shanks scene, i think by removing that scene from the LA made LA Luffy more heroic in a way. And i guess it’s done on purpose- making you protagonist heroic can make the audience root for them more, easier to be more emotionally connected. LA Luffy made promise to shanks not only to be a ‘great’ pirate, but also to be ‘good’. and by doing so his morale follows. He defends nami cause ‘she’s a person with wants and dream of her own’. He saves the town from buggy cause is the good thing to do, and he refuse to take all the food from the mayor cause ‘they need it more than he does’. Anime Luffy can do good, but his intentions are never to do just good, he’s a pirate after all and i quote ‘heroes have to share all the meat, while pirates don’t!’ So he doesn’t want to do that. But more often than not, his action tend to be seen as good, even though the reasoning could be selfish. Back to the shanks gun scene, i guess they change it so it flows better with the time constraints, but also preventing Luffy from being to ‘grey’ in a way? Don’t know how to explain it 😂. I decided to enjoy both medium of storytelling and all their differences, its kinda interesting to see the same event playout in the LA but gave off somewhat different feel to it. Anyway, lovely analysis for this ep!
