"People's dreams...never end!" That final line never fails to send chills down my spine. It hits even harder when you learn the context of the line, including who says it.
@@TheJamesad Its pretty happy One Piece but when it makes u cry IT MAKES U CRY! i cant keep calm when i see the kids in wano wishing something so simple like drink clean water :'(
One Piece doesn't only tell about culture in Japan but around the world, because pirates accompany the sea around the world and don't be surprised when you watch One Piece to see some similarities in characters, places, regions or whatever it is in the real world. because Eiichiro Oda also appreciated it in One Piece from the real world and several regions 💯
The biggest issue with One Piece is that you can only experience it for the first time once. But watching through again gives a totally different experience! It really is the greatest story ever told in all of literature history.
yes, a lot of real life pirate references like Blackbeard (Edward Teach), Bartholomew Roberts, Edward Low, Capt. William Kidd, even explorers like Ferdinand Magellan and many more. What's more, Eichiro Oda, the author of One Piece, took many references even outside the irl pirates but also in the various folklores and myths around the globe, or let's just say many stuff. He even referenced Jesus' crucifixion at one point. Lol. Oda loves doing that. One character is even a reference to the most famous liar, Pinocchio, mixed with the popular tale of The Boy Who Cried Wolf (Pirates, in this case). One Piece is just massive.
And to add onto your last point about Usopp, his name is also based off of Aesop or at least referenced which makes sense considering the fables that he tells
One Piece definitely has the most interesting world I've seen in ANY media ever tbh, it's just so imaginative and creative and it keeps you on your toes for the start of every arc cause you have no idea what to expect next
I even read the filler chapters not only because they are too fun and full of adventure but because they are like secondary stops on the way to their main one, you don't see it as something non-canonical but rather as stopping at islands that are on the way to the true destiny. enjoy all those adventures because they show us unique and magical things.
@@sindri1447 if it is filled, when they visit the island where the dragons lived or that island that was full of enormous roots, with an ancient plant in the center, vacations. foxy games all of those were fillers, with side routes to adventure and spice up the anime. You can take it as a filler or not, it depends on how you want to see it.
I've watched one piece for half 0f my life now but damn, how the video is cut and edited always gets me exited every single time. I wished one piece never ends.
"The Appeal of One Piece: Where to Start" and the follow up video "Why You Should Watch/ Read One Piece" both by Super Eyepatch Wolf, are two more excellent videos that provide some more context into the story of One Piece and why it is so great. I would definitely love to see your reactions to these videos.
This is my favorite edit of one piece The way they found all these scenes and put them together from different arcs, movies and even openings , their order and the choice of background music the speechs, just everything about it is awesome
One thing that consistently keeps me watching One Piece is the worldbuilding. It's unmatched Coming from other shonen like DBZ and HunterXHunter there are things about One Piece that might not be everyone's cup of tea. The Show is extremely cartoony and goofy at times. But it also pulls on your heartstrings and makes you cry. Oda doesn't just forget about characters, he has this story all planned out, which I absolutely love. Plotlines will resurface hundreds of episodes from where they were first mentioned ,and most of what you will see in terms of runtime in the show is character driven dialogue moments. One Piece spent like the first 60 episodes getting you primed for the first real arc and adventure. You got introduced to the main characters and got a taste of their goals. I only recently joined the quest for the One Piece, I'm only about 800 episdodes in(Just starting Whole Cake Island), but I can't wait to see how it ends.
You might have noticed a lot of "ancient" and "tribe" type stuff mixed in there, like ancient ruins etc. One Piece is one of the greatest adventure stories ever. Some people love to speculate about Ancient Egypt conspiracies in real life. One Piece is like that but it's actually going to have a conclusion. SOO many mysteries and dots to connect throughout the series. Episodes early on in the series become SUPER relevant in the late game as we learn more about the history of the world and how it came under the rule of the shady AF World Government Love your reactions btw. Your enthusiasm is great. Really hope you react to the series!
Funny you should mention Blackbeard. The very last line of audible dialogue was quotemined from a speech of his. There's alot of people named after famous seafarers. We have Drake, Edward, Teach, Thatch(all three were names for the real Blackbeard), Magellan, Kid, and more.
Don't be put off by the number of episodes, it never gets boring and world is ever changing to keep you hooked. I'm envious of anyone just setting sail as they have so much to look forward to
I love how you kept saying they created such a breath taking world where im laughing because oda has such a creative mind that it makes it seem like it was created by multiple people
you want to know something truly mindblowing? EVERY place shown is visited by the The Strawhat Pirates (Luffy's crew) and/or other important named characters in the series. EVERY place shown has its own story, government, and depth of history. EVERY place is not just a random bit of a show piece. they ALL tie in to the own going adventure in some way, so much so that some very dedicated people have actually created a map that charts Luffy's crew in full! finally, EVERY named character is important in some form or fashion, with rich backstories that make them actually feel like people who live in that world rather than just more set pieces. the world building of One Piece is beyond top tier, and it is such an amazing adventure to experience!
It’s actually amazing how they’ve created such a beautiful world and it’s amazing how the anime is still going, and there’s still more to discover, and how they make all of it so unique with all the creatures, characters and even storytelling! I’ve seen another that is similar to this called “the greatest story ever told” but you may have to put one piece after that to get the video that I’m talking about but it really shows how amazing they made the storyline as well with so many different things happening! It doesn’t spoil that much actually barely anything but it was my first video I saw of one piece that encouraged me to watch it and it really did show how well they made the show It’s only like five or six minutes long but it’s still there. Such a good job of showing how amazing the story of one piece is And yes, they do have black beard in this and he is also known as Edward teach
Unlike many people I never saw any of these AMVs or reviews on One Piece before diving in. In 2015 when I started anime as a whole I was overwhelmed by how many stories were out there that I never heard of. Opening Crunchyroll for the first time was like stepping into a whole new world. One Piece was the 3rd anime I watched. I saw one poster of it and thought "I'm not sure I'll like this." But my curiosity won out and I started watching it. I came it expecting some goofy childish cartoon, and while it is Goofy, it gave me far more than I could've possibly imagined. A huge and rich world, characters so lovable I consider them my 2nd family, and an Odyssey of fun, adventure, laughs, tears, and goosebumps. This story continues to become more dear to me than any other work or fiction
i watched that video a couple years ago and was truely amazed by it, as OP fan i really appreiated it from my heart but was so angry by the fact that it only had few thousands views but now it has millions of views and it makes me so happy that it got the appreciation it deserve thank you Strawhat V for this awesome video
I always get excited seeing new people take interest in One Piece. I myself only caught up last year. But had attempted OP in the past and just never made it long enough to truly stick with the series. I now am a bit sad I could have know this story a decade sooner. But its really never too late to get into this story. Its fun, wild and emotional. The world is huge expansive and creative. The characters are well rounded with deep connections and well written stories and goal. The sad moments will make you cry over and over and the moments that make you happy can just make you smile at the thought of them. I know you're building up to it but if you do end of watching or reading (or doing both) for this series i hope you have fun and come to enjoy the world and characters we all love. BTW love your Kazuha and Scara prints. I follow that artist online and I adore their style. Also love the keyblade in the back. My own room is just decked in Genshin, KH, Persona and well now a ton of OP stuff.
Oh god i didn't know this Video existed. Just watching your reaction gave me an absolute wired nostalgia trip of the past 20 Years... even if i don't keep up every week nowadays. This Series is amazing and i can only recomend watshing it, even if it drags on sometimes. (And don't worry, there is no need to be up to date in weeks or whatever, so take your time if you decide to watch it)
I've been rewatching the show bit by bit over the last year with my bf. He had always been curious about it but had never seen much of it. It was also such a daunting task with over 1000 episodes to go. We ended up watching a few episodes every time we ate lunch together and it became a kinda thing to eat and watch. We're caught up now and he is so amazed by how the series is still going so strong despite its length. I highly recommend watching. Some of the later arcs are best enjoyed when consumed multiple episodes at a time. Dressrosa fatigue was a thing the community was plagued with for real, but I gotta say if you binge through those lengthy parts it's no problem at all.
This video made me want to go to the One Piece world in order to explore it in person which they extended by showing more of the world from not only the anime / movies / ovas / specials, but for Oda I love the fact that he built this world basing it on various locations that you can find in our world or based on fictional/ legends along with that they added what kind of species exist, culture, & weather conditions
One Piece is such a journey and honestly worth every minute, such an incredible show! Now if you could it'd be great to see you react to funny One Piece moments honestly.
I've said this one hundred times on other's videos and I'll say this again "this amv is hats off the best introduction of One Piece world. Literally Breathtaking"
Besides the Narrator from the beginning all Voices you hear are Characters in the Series (the Narrator is ofc the Narrator in the series aswell). R.I.P Kiryu Arimoto
What is the most amazing is the fact that this video was made by a fan - Strawhat V. It amazingly encapsulates one half of the One Piece world (its beautiful diversity), while the second, more darker one, is greatly summed up in another video made by the same person - "Unleashed - Final Saga Trailer". I recommend it to you - although it contains spoilers, but they are not visible for a new fan, because recognizing them requires some knowledge about the events in the series. And that video is also top tier.
If you want more introductory videos to One Piece, you should also check out Melonteee's "The One Piece Video", and SuperEyepatchWolf's "The Appeal of One Piece" and "Why You Should Watch/Read One Piece". The former is a bit more memey and fun, and she has a lot of great character analysis videos for when you're actually caught up on the series. None of these has any significant spoilers, and they're geared towards newcomers, though I feel obligated to mention that "Why You Should Watch/Read" does reveal the backstory of a significant villain, so maybe steer clear of that one, or have someone find the time stamps for you to skip it.
@@Ozgarthefighter which ones do you think are significant? She's already familiar with some aspects of One Piece so it's not like she's going in fully blind, especially not after watching the openings, and I can't remember any big spoilers in the videos.
@KaregoAt first one has Señor Pink's backstory, which admittedly isn't major, but the second video has Doffy's backstory, which is kind of a big deal. That said, as spoilers go, they're not terrible.
@@Ozgarthefighter Yeah, I'll give you that Doffy's is a bit more important. I'll amend my recommendation. Melon's video is still great to me though, with nothing important revealed. And still, One Piece is one of those series where aside from a couple BIG things, getting spoiled doesn't really diminish your enjoyment. I got spoiled about the big donut moment, and it still got me.
She's definitely gonna watch it. It is more insane than everyone could every think of. It has so many layers that I even think that Oda is not Human anymore.
Every island has a center square or a capital depends of the size, districts and cultures, inspired by real things but also very creative, The One Piece world is ridiculous yet feels real somehow. The World Building is One Piece. Peak Fiction
The thing that makes One Piece stand out to me is the fact that it not just touches on, but dives fully and very deeply into subjects such as racism, government corruption, slavery, political issues, social injustice, etc etc, and it does it while keeping it fully within it's own fantasy world, but it still fully reflects onto our own modern society, without even hinting at it or trying to
Yessss there is a Blackbeard in this series and many, many more references to real-world pirates and world events (beyond piracy) If you remember the opening you reacted to where in the middle of the opening there was a pause in the song and a little conversation/fight Luffy had with another character - that is Blackbeard ☠️
I have watched "The Breathtaking World of One Piece" so many times. But for some reason, this time I got chills and was actually teary-eyed by the end. That has never happened to me before, so I don't know why it suddenly happened this time watching it with you. But One Piece is such a great, in-depth story. The world is huge, and the characters are vast.
To sum One Piece's story, which hasn't finished yet, there's still a lot of stuff to happen, but we're nearing the end, I'd give it 5-10 more years. But anyway, the main storyline is about Luffy, the protagonist, and his crew, The Straw Har pirates getting into piracy due to different reasons, but one thing that they have in common is that all of them are following their dreams and trying to acomplish them, Luffy's dream is to get the One Piece treasure and become the next King of the Pirates, basically to acomplish what Roger did. The other's dreams you'll see if you decide to start watching the series. One Piece has at the moment 11 different sagas, each one with a couple, if not more, different story arcs in them. And is in each one of these sagas and arcs that the secondary storylines in One Piece are found, all of them connecting to the main one and some even between themselves. These storylines range in theme between a non deadly competition between pirate crews to stuff as hardcore as mass murder, slavery, racism, xenophobia, and of course, war. Also, I noticed you asking about famous real life pirats in the series, the answer is that One Piece happens in a fictional world with superpowers and all of that, there are no real life piracy figures, but Oda, the author and mangaka of One Piece, creates characters based on those figures, for example: (SMALL SPOILER AHEAD) The real life Blackbeard's name was Edward Teach, and in One Piece there are two pirates based off of him, Edward Newgate, with the nickname Whitebeard, and Marshall D. Teach, conviniently nicknamed Blackbeard(he's the one that says the last phase in the video "People's dreams never end").
There is a movie that recaps the first 100 manga chapters/60 anime episodes in 106 minutes called "One Piece: Episode of East Blue". then there is a couple more recapping the 2 next major arcs so you can check out 1/3rd of the series in 3 movies worth of time.
First thing you need to know is one piece is not just a teenage boy wanting to find one piece and be a pirate king . Hell even i dont even know what his real dream is . I dont know what one piece is . I dont know 1000nds of mysteries in this series even after 1072 episodes and 1090 chapters . The curiosity it builts inside you is just brilliant and to unravel those secrets one by one makes you feel like you are a part of strawhats experiencing every thing as if you are in that world
I'm all in for it. Don't feel discouraged by the amount of episodes or that people say it took over a year to watch. A year is basically nothing in a whole lifetime, but this show is a great task in a lifetime. Greetings from germany!
I love this anime. I watched this video fir the first time. This is very impressive. All the landscapes from one piece. I sm e real fun but this is the first time i saw this video. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💯
8:42a planet larger than Jupiter with 7 moons. 200,000+ islands (there are islands the size of Canada) and 1 continent. and 40 humanoid species have been revealed by now. Not race but spicies (human, Giant, dwarf, fishman EST)
The best feature of One Piece is that the world doesn't revolve around the main characters, its the main characters that revolve around the world. Just when you thought the Strawhats have done something incredible and 'history changing', you realise its very insignificant towards the world and it's history. It is only in the last 2 arcs that the ones that rule the world finally take Luffy seriously and start making a move.
I see you have a poster of Jinx and Vi on your wall. If you liked the psychological conflicts in Arcane, you will trully fall in love with One Piece. It is a master work that everyone should watch.
If you want to watch One Piece, my advise is just take your time and enjoy it. You dont have to worry about catching up asap. Its the journey that matters 😁
Because you asked whether Oda would do other stories in his world after One Piece is over, next year, "Monsters", which was also done by Oda, will be released as an anime. It's a pre-One Piece story. It is considered canon to the current One Piece story. If you get the chance, you should check it out when it releases.
So, the path to finding the One Piece includes circumnavigating the world. There may be some final plotlines to resolve after our heros find the One Piece, but most of the story happens along the way. The show appeals to many, many people for a wide variety of reasons. It does a lot of things really well - worldbuilding, characterization, fight sequences, and both short and long storylines in a variety of genres. It feels like a story that is constantly reinventing itself without losing sight of it's central goal or core cast of characters. It even pushes the boundaries of what is possible in storytelling in really impressive ways at times. I hope you enjoy the incredible journey!
For reference for how long it takes to at least read One Piece, there's a RU-vidr called Totally Not Mark who did a blind review of every arc in One Piece, and it took him about 6 months to get to the current events in the story. But if it makes you feel better, he pretty consistently said "this is the best arc Oda has written" for every new arc, except for Thriller Bark, but it was still good with great stuff in it.
Minor spoiler as answer to your question. The guy talking in the end about dreams was blackbeard, so yes he is in there like many characters have real life inspiration
To provide some context to the geography of One piece, where Earth has multiple giant continents across the globe, the world of one piece has a single continent that splits the globe. The rest is all water. The majority of locations in one piece are all islands of varying sizes and climates.
Your comment about other stories, every OP fan would love the stories based on characters we learn from the previous gen of characters in this story. The old generation of characters could easily have their own stories .
Eiichiro Oda (author of "One Piece") said in a recent interview that he doesn't feel like publishing anything other than One Piece, as this manga allows him to work on ANY subject he wants. Prehistoric islands with dinosaurs, giant warriors with Viking culture, a desert kingdom based on Ancient Egypt, an industrial city whose transportation takes place through canals (like Venice) and a sea train, a country based on Feudal Japan with samurai and ninjas, a haunted island with creatures and stereotypes from Halloween and horror movies, an island above the clouds populated by angels and ruled by a "god" with references to countless mythologies and religions, a robotic and super advanced nation... these are SOME examples of what the world of One Piece presents
One Piece as Heyfucksom says in their comment but also out sold Spiderman and Batman. Also there is another one called The Appeal Of One Piece but it does have a few small spoiler in it talking about some the character but does give great understanding of it too. The story can make you laugh and then cry seconds later or be angry the emotions you can have is great.
As a manga reader of One Piece from the beginning (1997), this video is wonderful. It doesn't show spoil thing but just all the world of OP showed since the beginning. The music choice was beautiful also. One piece have way more islands to see than in a Wow (from Blizzard) lool If a MMORPG gonna out we gonna have so many time to spend in all these world of OP. Have fun watching the Anime of OP.
if you wanted a deeper look into the why One Piece is so unique and mesmerising you should react to "The appeal of One Piece where to start" it's really a good video to dip your toe in
the world of One Piece is one of the best crafted planets i've ever seen in fiction, it is FILLED with cultures and islands and kingdoms and variety. if you can think it, One Piece probably has it
Your reactions are so joyable to watch, please, keep it coming. Also, please, consider watching "The Appeal of One Piece: Where to Start" it will give you a good north of how to start, if you're bouncing to dive in it. 😉
You said something interesting in asking if there will be more stories about the One Piece world when the main story ends. The best thing about One Piece is... we already know them. It's so detailed about the entire world, that even if something happens we will get flashes to what's happening in other parts of the world in reaction to it. Like the manga will go WEEKS without even mentioning what Luffy, the main character, is doing--it's all about how what Luffy just did last arc is having ramifications around the world, back in countries we haven't visited in 800 chapters, what the government thinks about it and how that side character from chapter 50 comes up again in chapter 1050 and what they've been up to this entire time. Each island has a deep history and we get to learn it all before we have to move on, which is what has built a full, real feeling world. Of course we'd accept 1000 more chapters to get even MORE about side characters we love, but I wanted to call out that the interest you showed in wanting to know more about the world is greatly satisfied by watching the original story too!
It similar like a real world, america back then was called a new world, pirates and kingdom from europe rushing to go there, to claim a new islands, gold, and to see the world people never see. North america, carribean, aztec empire, amazon, and antartica
So glad she reacted to this, there is one more video called the greatest story ever told one piece. This video definitely gives you a grasp of the world itself, as yes there are characters and themes oda bases the show one. Some characters do have real world pirates you have heard of. Not going to spoil any names. But you will love one piece. Just by your sheer awe of a reaction you have to this video alone., wish you had an Instagram, I'd definitely drop you a follow.
