“He can’t remember his name because he doesn’t respect him” is actually confirmed by Oda. Luffy uses nicknames for anyone he has yet to trust or gain respect for.
One thing we know for sure is that the treasure is real. Oda has told us before that as a kid he never liked stories that ended with 'The treasure was the friends you made on the journey' so he didn't want to do that to those reading his story. While friendship is definitely a huge part of the story of One Piece, it's not the treasure itself. That's pretty much everything we know about the One Piece though. Even now we have no idea. XD
@@catchingupkate 100% I think the fact that Oda said that One Piece is a real treasure in the story is one of the factors why this story is still going strong. There is something real at the end, something that is going to affect the world of one piece. Something that one piece enjoyers have been looking forward for almost 3 decades. And what is crazy that Oda says that the story is about to be done in about 5 or so years. We have our theories, but we won't know until it is found.
With how much lore have/have not been drop, the one piece is the least I’m most excited of, and that’s saying a lot. History and a certain kingdom is what I wanna know.
The scene where luffy is tied up, Jeff ward (buggy) did an interview where he talked about bloopers and Jeff said that Inaki kept repeating "Give me my hat. I want my hat." while Jeff was doing his lines, just being the normal Luffy we know where he's hyper fixated on one thing and oblivious to everything else. xD I really wish that they would have showed us the bloopers of that haha
I love that a line as simple as "Be good Luffy," can carry so much emotional weight. I get tears almost every time I see that scene. I'm a dad, and seeing something that really shows what you hope will happen when you pass on wisdom to your children in such a simple line is so beautiful. And, because Luffy is good, we get to feel the impact of that scene very quickly. That relationship changed him forever. I really love this show.
In the manga and anime, Shanks was able to repel the sea monster while half-submerged in the ocean and holding onto Luffy without a boat, so he clearly has some sort of ability, but it's not a Devil Fruit ability. The boat was most likely there because of the practical difficulties of filming in water.
Buggy actually working in live action was something I did not expect when I first watched the live action, but I'm very excited that they did his character justice. Now I just gotta wait about a decade for him to do something very, very funny (if you know, you know).
18:32 First person I've heard commenting on this. It's just a throwaway line, but it actually surprised me that they fleshed out Higuma just that little bit. Makes you think what he may have endured to become such a person, and one almost feels bad for him. Almost.
It has been a while since a blind reactor has reacted to one piece live action this late! Hence, please be kind.. fellow one piece fans! There is no "right" or "wrong" when it comes to speculations, theories and hence forth! - "Oooh, I love X and Y" is an indirect spoiler about that character - "Wait and see what happens" as a reply to a certain incident in the episode is also an indirect spoiler lets avoid those and many others!
At this moment I do plan on starting the manga once I finish the live action. I'm sorry because I do really hate disappointing people... but I'm also someone that doesn't get tired of the same story if I love it so I would definitely watch the anime in the future too
@@catchingupkate ive read and watched both and the manga is for sure better, but the anime is still good, especially the first half of the anime. what really makes the anime good for me is the music!
@@catchingupkate honestly discussion videos about your experience with the manga would be cool, too, if you're up for that! doesn't have to be reaction videos
I love that Coby's response to Garp's question about Luffy is 'he's a pirate. Pirates should face justice.' He basically said 'I won't do anything against Luffy if he hasn't done anything wrong', just in a way that isn't insubordinate to his superior officer, and I think Garp recognized that too. Coby's already learning to play the game, and Garp appreciates that in him. Also, yes, in the original manga and anime, Shanks basically scares off the monster with sheer intimidation, and he was submerged in water when he did it, so it's DEFINITELY not a devil fruit power. They kinda overdid it with the effects here, but it was essentially just raw badassery making the sea beast recognize him as the more dangerous predator in the situation.
the seawater thing is more of a percent-based thing. it drains the strength of a devil fruit eater more and more the deeper they're immersed in it, which means they can't float or swim at all. it also means that the second they're out of the water, even if they're wet, they regain the majority of their strength. it's a magical curse, don't think about it too hard lol
In the manga and anime, any type of water weakens Devil Fruit users depending on how deep they are in it. But the live-action seems to be ramping up the effects of seawater even more, probably to increase the stakes without getting too violent. I'd bet they'll let regular water slide as a way to balance out these changes.
@@Phanthief95 Rainwater affects devil fruit user when it has flooded the environment. Common rain and dripping water simply don't work because the user is not considered to be deep in it - this has nothing to do with the type of water.
@@Phanthief95 yes, its any type of stillwater thats knee-deep that would weaken the users. Oda only explained it in sbs so tbh I kinda get it how some people get it confuse.
man, i feel like im in a library, watching a movie with a friend, trying to not make too much of a sound but still trying to discuss regarding the movie 🤣🤣 much love!!!
I love your takes bout the show and how detail-oriented you are! But I also have to say you have such a beautiful and soothing voice, these One Piece reactions are so chill and nice to go through, hahaha.
Yay thank you for your reaction!!! As a Fantasy book Reader who heard One piece for a long time but got overwhelmed by the 1000+ chapters, istg after i caught up i needed more. I fell in love with the Live action first and then harder when i continued reading it, so i hope you'll continue the series be it on the next season or by reading it! (Though the source material has more depth!) The lore, the plot, the characters is the best, i don't know how Oda made every arc better than the previous ones. The East Blue Saga ( OPLA s1) is just the start, the next arc is what got me locked in.
Thank you! My brother just recently caught up with the anime so we'll both be starting the manga! I LOVE long series with lots of lore so I am very excited!
Really really enjoying your reactions! The Shanks and Luffy scene at the end always makes me cry, even having read it and watched it so many times in the original! The biggest selling point of the story is that while a lot of the time it’s fun, intense action, it will also hit you with impactful and devastating emotions every couple of episodes.
I'm glad you're enjoying it! The world building is very well done in my opinion, especially for a 8 episode series. I'll be surprised if by the end of the live action, you don't immediately want to watch the anime or read the manga! Welcome aboard!
I just checked your other videos just to see what kind of numbers this show pulled for you, just 2 episodes in and those numbers are outstanding. One Piece community is legit the best. Attack on titan next trust. If you haven't seen it, that will bring people like flies on dung. I promise.
Thank you, I'm blown away by how kind this community is! I am planning on watching Attack on Titan. My youngest brother passed away a few months ago and that was his favorite show/manga. I know that show is already emotional so I want to make sure I'm ready for it.
This show is a joyous experience. The sad parts hit hard, but they bring you all the way back with such wholesome moments with our crew and the people they help along the way.
I'm really enjoying your reaction 😊 I've been watching the anime since 2007 and started reading the manga since 2009 till now, only stopping for one year during this fantastic journey.
Yay!! I was looking forward to your reaction I can tell you are going to really enjoy how complex this story is. I’ve seen people compare it to the odyssey which Is honestly accurate.
Thank you! I am very excited to continue the series and then on to the manga. Feels like I found exactly what I've been looking for in terms of a long series, ocean/pirates, and lots of lore/history!
5:28 Godoy (Luffy's actor) saying the sentence "All in one piece" when talking about Gol D. Rogers treasure is incredible, the foreshadowing is in a league of it own!
That story about Zoro killing Cabaji's brother, was actually made up by Netflix. In the manga, Cabaji fought with Zoro, just because he wanted to boost his reputation, by killing pretty much the most infamous bounty hunter of the East Blue. That's actually not bad change at all.
To be completely fair to the bad vs good in-universe discourse between the marines and pirates, we've really only seen 1 (or 2 if you count the son) clearly corrupt marine so far, while any others were mostly just questionable at best or just doing their job, being lower in ranking than the corrupt marine. Even Garp taking the cadets to go after Luffy, whose pirate crew broke into, attacked, and stole from a Marine base, is technically still in the right for doing so (so, I can see why Koby is still with them even if he feels uneasy abt going after Luffy). Also atp, we've actually seen more clearly bad pirates than clearly bad marines too (Alvida and her crew killing/raiding a vessel ship and Buggy and his crew imprisoning and destroying a whole town).
The sea serpent is known as a Neptunian, or "Sea King" in more common vernacular. Specifically, that Sea King is classified as a "Lord of the Coast", a title bestowed based on the hunting habit of swimming close to a specific island as a den and hunting ground, occasionally catching small boats or people.
19:20 Both yes and no; it was shown better in the anime, Shanks was swimming when he saved Luffy. he did still do that eye thing, it will be explained in a later season.
A fun fact, the “different kind of pirate” is a subtle reference to the precursors of One Piece, Romance Dawn Version 1 and Romance Dawn Version 2, prototype stories Eiichiro Oda wrote before starting One Piece(which the first arc of One Piece, and the first episode of this show, are named after). In Romance Dawn, there are two types of pirates. The typical plundering and pillaging type everyone is familiar with, which is called Morgania. Then there’s the more peaceful, freedom-loving adventurer type that Luffy embodies, called Peace Mains. This is something I kinda wish Oda kept in One Piece, because it was an interesting dichotomy of piracy. But I understand why he didn’t keep it, because it’s not as black and white as that in One Piece. Even so, he still could’ve kept the concept and just had some pirates blur the lines between the two.
Thank you, that was a fun fact. I actually just read Black Flags, Blue Water by Eric Jay Dolin and that is similar to real life where the line between pirates and privateer were very blurry
The thing about seawater is that it’s basically to Devil Fruit users what Kryptonite is to Superman. The powers from the Devil Fruit still work but you’re too weak to use them.
Correction, Luffy grew up in Windmill Village, I don't think we know the name of the island yet at this point, but suffice it to say, there's a lot more there then just that little fishing village.
30:05 One thing you may want to consider watching at some point is a fan-made video called "The Breathtaking World of One Piece" which the fandom treats as a trailer to the series as a whole. It takes a selection of the scenery shots from 25 years of anime (and some movies/ovas/etc), puts them to various pieces of music, and provides as spoiler-free an experience as possible to seeing a huge amount of the islands and vistas that the series stars in. Of course, the fact you can see those places betrays that they exist and are something you can expect to see, but that's obviously an unavoidable given!
What Shanks did to that Sea King is something that isn't explained for hundreds of chapters of the manga, hundreds (but fewer) episodes of the anime (YEARS of real life for the audience). Yeah, the one thing we know for sure about the One Piece is it's real.
Interesting cut you made when Luffy mentions Shanks and Zoro talks about him for a brief second. Zoro will recognize huge pirates before most of the rest of the crew does. Like this scene will be in season 2 he sees some random shirtless dude asking about have you seen Luffy? And Zoro will be like we have to stay away from that man and warn Luffy. Zoro is he one of your bounty hunter friends? No. He's Fire Fist Ace, Second commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. I don't know what he wants with Luffy but I wouldn't mess with one of Whitebeard's men. Later on same episode oh hello Ace, you ate a Devil Fruit? Yeah Luffy just run along with your friends I'll handle these Marines for you. Entire rest of the crew how do you know Fire First Ace one of the leaders of the greatest pirate crews ever? He's my older brother.
Do you feel as adorable as you look? You're so incredibly adorable! About as pleasant to look at as you are to listen to, lovely lol So the One Piece treasure is a physical. Oda confirmed that. 1100 chapters into the manga, and we are only now getting close, but WOW are we close. I could give you aspects of the treasure based on what I know, but telling you those aspects would spoil you. I hope you continue to enjoy the series.
One thing I must say before you actually do start the One Piece Manga/Anime is that although this Live Action Luffy is quite similar, he’s also a lot different from the actual Luffy from the Manga. The Actor is doing a great job and I don’t think they could’ve casted him any better but it’s more down to the script and storyline for him that has taken a different turn. He’s being portrayed as someone who ‘wants’ & ‘seeks’ to be Heroic, judging from the things he says like “I’m a different kind of Pirate” or inspiring Koby with words. The Luffy in the Manga inspires people with actions instead of words and doesn’t tell people whether he’s a good pirate or not, he lets them decide how they view him. Also a side note, the Luffy in the Manga is a lot stronger…I think that part comes down to the Actor not being able to pull off crazy stunts and also the Show not having the budget for all the stretching
Thank you! I'm glad I asked because I've been getting such great feedback and information to make my decision re manga vs. anime. I appreciate it so much. I'm 99.9% sure I'm starting the manga at this point and I am very excited!
Great react 🎉🎉🎉, unfortunately they were unable to put the culture and personality of the islands and their people into the live action due to lack of time, all the time in the live action was used to introduce and solidify our protagonists, I hope that in the second season they will now have more time, manage to bring the secondary characters and the people of the islands with an extra focus, and this is extremely important in the one piece narrative, because this grows to become two key points later on, but I won't say any spoilers, this East blue saga has 45 anime episodes and 8 live action episodes, we can consider it a tutorial for the world of one piece, because believe me, the world of one piece is rich, complex and has many layers of mysteries, which is why it is the best-selling manga in the world
To be fair places like orange Town didn't have much personality, like the only place that had personality in the east blue is windmill village and arlong park.
Thank you! I'd love to see more culture and personality in the future but from what I've seen (and from comments) I am so pumped to start the manga! I love lore and history and long series
Just to clarify, yes, Shanks has an “ability”, as you saw, but it’s *not* a devil fruit power. Anyone with a devil fruit power can’t swim, and in the anime and manga version of the scene with the sea monster, Shanks is actually holding Luffy in the water, not a boat, so he swam to rescue Luffy, which means it’s not a devil fruit power. What it actually is, is kept a mystery in the anime and manga for literally hundreds of episodes, so don’t expect it to be answered for a few seasons a least.
This first season (and probably the second and even third) won't be able to do justice to the scale of the story One Piece develops into. If you look at the state of the present story, then this first season is just part of the prologue: it introduces some basic characters and bits of the world while dressed in some simple but fun stories, but in the greater context, it is like a fart in the wind of an epic that can stand toe-to-toe with epics like Game of Thrones and the Wheel of Time. Shanks and the hat play a considerable role in the story, but it will take a long time for the story to get there. Don't expect any answers any time soon: Luffy is nowhere close to being a great pirate yet.
Judging from the books in the background, you super love stories. I sejest THE DRAWK SHOW. the utubers mom is a liturature professor. Give it a listen. She has such amazing insight.
Water does not take away the Devil Fruit powers; it weakens the user and renders them barely able to move. However, for that to work, the water must be knee-high or more, and no, rain does not affect Devil Fruit users.
This is not just a you thing but I truly don’t understand why so many people new to this series assume the treasure is just “the friends we made along the way”. It’s a common assumption I see but I’ve never understood. That’s just so generic
Almost every single reactor asking, if Luffy has any limits, of how far he can stretch... Of course, he has limits! Pretty vast limits, sure (Once, in the manga, he stretched his arms out for almost 5 kilometers, just to hit the opponent as hard as possible) but it's still limits.
One Piece treasure its not about friendship, the author (Oda) said that it is a tangible thing, its a real treasure Also after you finish the live action adaptation, i recommend you to watch the "Breathtaking world of Onepiece" its spoiler free before you jump into the manga or anime its up to you.
I see you have books behind you which makes me wonder... are you going to start reading the manga and give us your own opinions and views? Cause im all for it. If you already like the live action after 2 episodes you're going to love the manga. The East Blue saga (the stuff the live action covers) is considered by many the worst saga in One Piece, even though its very good. Its kinda like watching Lord of the Rings until the fellowship leaves Rivendell
Yes, I plan on starting the manga after I finish the live action! I would love feedback on how people would like to see that content. I have a book channel I haven't used it awhile because I had started a new job. I love filming reading vlogs and sit down videos. I was going to keep this channel just for tv/movie reactions, but I don't want to annoy people having them go to a different channel when they just got here lol
No I was comparing Aegon V from A Knight of the Seven Kingdom and Luffy's vibe of someone who may be a king or important in the future off on an adventure and learning lessons from the people he meets as well as helping others :)
@@catchingupkate Luffy isn't no way like aegon 🤣 Luffy is stupid does what he like, he is super funny and blunt 😂 Luffy hates hero because he thinks heroes share food with people, this live action Luffy don't portray actual Luffy in manga and anime .anime Luffy is too much fun and stupid 🤣
@@boneless931Luffy isn’t necessarily stupid, he just comes across that way all the time in a comedic aspect because he’s completely carefree. You claim to watch One Piece but even she has more knowledge of the story than you do and she has only seen 2 episodes of the Live Action
