@@kalmena7492 While it's true that "Mugiwara" (麦わら) just means "straw", whenever characters in One Piece say it, it's used as shorthand for 麦わら帽子/mugiwara boushi ('straw hat'), so the translations are correct. If the intention was to just say "straw", the "Mugi" wouldn't be really necessary, since "wara" alone also means "straw".
@@lawrencemejos3139 all are weak in front of buggys introduction lol jk but kaidos and kizarus is amazing but big mom shoots it out the park. same with her ending..not really since she followed them to wano.
What I like about this is that in the beginning everything has a sinister face and draped in shadows. Yet the lights go on and everything is all colorful and cute. It's suppose to feel like a wonderland, yet that sinister feeling is still there through out the song. Telling us that something is very wrong with this picture and I love it.
The crazy thing is this theme continues throughout the entire arc and the big mom pirates themselves. Everything looks as if it's colorful, in peace, harmony and as all things should be but we know everything is distorted behind the scenes .
I've seen somewhere that the whole theme of the Whole Cake Island Arc is ased on Fairy Tales and such. Quite fitting, with how twisted many Fairy Tales are in their original conception.
Would be great in Kingdom Hearts as well. Sora, Donald, Goofy fighting against Big Mom's minions, with Luffy helping. Maybe the 3 fairy sisters from Sleeping Beauty could come up with a way to seal Big Mom's power.
you could say that nightmare on elm street raped alice in wonderland, which then went onto raise said progeny with a certain fairytale about twins who killed a witch whom lived in a gingerbread house
Bro, I can't stop looking at Big mom's introduction, it is actually so good and I never expected Big mom singing and this is really a good introduction of a Yonko
Although this is definitely the best animation the anime has had in a while, calling this a perfect example of anything is insulting to whatever you're trying to compare this song too. the furniture dancing was literally 3 frames played and reminded over and over again, and the last scene showing off all the homies and BM seemed jumpy and cut awkwardly. There is no argument saying that Toei Animation has really gone down the shitter since Dressrosa, it's just a fact. They know people are going to watch regardless, so they don't really care about making the episodes and great and detailed as they used to be. The voice acting is phenomenal, I will admit, but that really doesn't mean jack if the characters look like paper cutouts and move "so fast it can't be seen by the human eye".
Who ever thought Oda would keep the Yonkos as: An actual pirate-like guy [Shanks] A literal beast [Kaido] *A clean-shaven man with a moustache called Whitebeard* *A Disney villain*
Best character design, best laugh, best personality overall. Big mom, as a villain, is the best thing OP ever had. EDIT: I made this comment when she was defeated in the manga. I shall thank the anime for doing her justice in the wano arc.
@@VoxTheUkrainianComrade well yeah. Almost every villain of one piece is amazing. (Let’s not talk about the East blue villains, Wapol, and the celestial dragons though)
This has to be one of the most unique villain introductions I’ve seen. It characterizes everything about Charlotte Lignin’s character perfectly in the most One Piece way taking advantage of what an anime can present over manga. At first we could see the ruthlessness and cruelty of Big Mom’s officials in every island with how easy the mow down the islanders to exploit their natural resources. Once we cut back to Whole Cake Island, the whole place feels unwelcoming and ominous with the sinister faces amongst the homies before the whole mood of the scene does a 180 turn and brights into a whimsical carnival song you’ll except from an old Disney/Don Bluth movie, which in case it gives Big Mom her own villain song. As the song progresses, the lyrics are a mix of childish and macabre undertones that reflects Big Mom’s Childish and Destructive demeanor (Think about it as if what if Fat Buu retains his childlike personality but still has the destructive instinct of Kid Buu). Which also in conjunction tells us that beneath the utopia-looking frosting of Totto Land Archipelago, hides the malevolent and dark truth of the suffering and sorrow of all those the Big Mom Pirates have tortured.
Everyone hates on Toei animation for various reasons (claiming manga > Anime) but this right here is the reason i love One Piece animation, combination of music with visuals for me is a really important part of entertainment. So maybe this is the first time you will see this. thank you TOEI for giving me one of the best character introduction ive seen in a while.
@@-sanju- he literally said that, did you not read "animation, combination of music with visuals for me is a really important part of entertainment." he didnt say i could live without them, he didnt say theyre a pretty important part but at the end of the day they arent that great he said theyre the most important part of entertainment
@@erfaniom9576 Yeah he said that he finds animation, music and visuals important in entertainment. That's just simply his opinion. He never said that he "can't comprehend a story without visuals and sounds".
2:33 I love this part so much, like. When she says " Mu-gi-wa-ra " it has a cool vibe and a hint of foreshadowing, like. She knows Luffy is here and is 100% expecting him to barge in to take back Sanji. The reveal of Big Mom saying Mugiwara ( Straw Hat ) specifically ties to Luffy due to him being the captain of the Mugiwara no ichimi. ( Straw Hat Pirates ).
Oh shit i cant believe the part where she says straw hat was a direct reference to luffy thanks man also isnt pirate hunter zoro the captain of the strawhats?
oh please, lots of the females (in the marine especially) are just a lame copy paste version of men, given them stereotypical male features to make them look 'tough'.
Near the end of the arc, I forgot when (I think it was when big mom was chasing the giant cake) when this played again, it was genuinely a lot more terrifying
I’ve always thought that big mom as a person doesn’t exactly have evil intentions, despite her actions, I feel like it relates to her upbringing and past. This is amplified when we see her lose her memories in wano where she acts genuinely kind hearted and nice to the people around her. So while big mom is definitely a bad person because of her actions, I feel that big moms horrible actions were due to influences in her past, most notably mother caramel, who was the source for the idea of totto land (and likely the big mom name itself), and secondly streusen who taught her that anything she wanted she could have, and anyone who defied her was worthy of death. Of course none of this justifies any of her actions but still gives reasoning to them beyond “she’s evil”.
Big Mom. An Emperor of the Sea who rules over Souls and her children using fear. A quite child like Empress, with a rather powerful sweet tooth. She's actually the most well written villains, other than Akainu, BlackBeard, Crocodile, Mihawk, and even Katakuri if I say so myself. All of which are good villains, and have rather nice backstories for the ones who have one as of now.
If you wanna know how terrifying she is, in the very next episode, she kills, stomps and eats all these singing things lol Mama is Crazy and I LOVE her! She’s a Walking Nuke and an absolute MAD woman!
@@Jaxonthelegend1 Damn dude, I knew she was a crazy cannibal cuz I got that spoiled to me but I didnt know she was that crazy. Did they retaliate or did they just accept it?
@@Jaxonthelegend1 yeah i guess ill see soon enough since i just witnessed doffy get obliterated and whole cake is the arc after dressrosa. but when i said retaliate i meant like ran, or like hid or fought or something, instead of just sitting there and waiting your turn to be eaten
I just love the fact that everyone underestimates big mom's craziness even black beard called her crazy she might even be the strongest since Roger and whitebeard.... luffy beat kaido so kaido is disqualified!!! Also it took two people to take big mom down people say big mom and kaido are equal but big mom killed a giant at 5 she's a beast!!!
Thriller bark: Usopp says there’s a beautiful lady swordswoman with tones of meat Whole cake: 1:19 a beautiful lady swordswoman with giant eggs (can count as meat depending on your definition) His lies always come true
This introduction has a creepy liminal look yet at the same time it looks cute and friendly . Horrifying actually . This would make a great Disney horror movie

I understand why people hate her but I love her. Theres this innocence with her and her land but at the same time its completely f*cked up. I love it so much.
@@milola8868 most children are actually taken care of really well by big mom, it was shown in wano that any child under 10 will activate her "mama mode" and she will remain passive
@@milola8868 oh yeah thats right, I thought you meant her kids. the anime only suggests she ate them, never showed it, does the manga show it? I havent read it yet but im trying to read the manga cause im all caught up in the show
