Garp is actually someone who is laid back and chill. The live action depicted him as a serious-ish grandpa. You will love Garp more in the anime for sure.
@@mikem1457 depends - play your cards right you could get there in just over half a year. I'm semi-challenging all reactors who've only seen the live action to try and get to 380 before season 2 of the live action starts.
I've been on this massive kick lately of watching people who have zero knowledge of the OP manga and anime react to the One Piece live action, and watching everyone slowly fall in love with this world with each passing episode has been such an incredible thing. I get a massive smile on my face each time, and out of all the people I've watched react to this so far, you are easily one of the top. The attitude and genuine joy and interest you've shown while watching this masterpiece has been so fun to see! Welcome to the fandom! I can't wait to come back to your channel when season 2 drops!
Garp really led out a sigh of relief in that last scene, seeing his Bounty. He tried to scare Luffy off by calling in freaking Mihawk, even showed his own fists, could not let go Luffy just to chicken out right away in GrandLine.
Everyone in a team has their individual dreams and goals, but works in tandem with Luffy's goal. In order to be the pirate king he needs the worlds greatest swordsman, a cook who wants to get to the all blue, a navigator who wants to draw a map of the world and a brave warrior of the sea. Btw, you're a great reactioner.
I love that their is deeper meaning behind Nami's infatuation with wealth and money than just greed. At the time 100k more berries could have changed Bellamere's fate. Which in the One Piece universe isn't a ridiculously expensive amount at all. But looking back in hindsight, you can tell that scar runs deep within Nami as a character, and its these deeper and yet subtle characteristics that make me empathise more with Nami as a character.
The book owner where Nami stole the book from told her that if she wanted something she could make a deal and work for it and that's what she did when she went to Arlong
Yes sanji only fights with kicks. It is stated in the anime/manga that it's because he does not believe a chef should sully his hands with blood. It's kind of strange they never state it here.
Don't think it's not sully his hands with blood, he do that plenty while cooking. I think they said it is to protect his hands since his hands are his life as a cook. Lose your hands and you can't keep up your cooking.
i don't know how far into the manga/anime you may be,. So, without putting out a spoiler, you know exactly why he doesn't fight with his hands much later, specifically why he doesn't use a sword. However, he was raised by Zeff, who was known as "Red Leg" which alludes to that being his fighting style @@Mrsuperdestroyer
@@MrsuperdestroyerThat's symbolic actually, Zeff is a cook and a pirate. Then they both got stranded in an island and gave all the food to Sanji. Cut your arm and eat it means you can continue being a Pirate (with a hook on your hand), cut your leg and eat it means you can continue being a Chef. Zeff's love for Cooking outweighs his love for Piracy.
"I want to be a Strawhat pirate". Good news, you enjoyed the adventures with us so you are already a Strawhat pirate! But seriously, that's one of the most special things OP has, it makes you feel part of the crew, like you went to all those adventures with the characters. It's such a feel-good and touching story at the same time and as someone who's been reading it for many, many years, it's so good watching others fall in love with it. Thanks for your awesome reactions!
Sanji's attack moves are based on cuisines..mostly French. Here it was like how he would have prepared the meal... Collier :- Neck, Epaule :- Shoulder, etc.
One of the best things about One Piece is that you really have no idea what to expect. There are a lot of breadcrumb clues but in such a way that it only really makes sense after you see why. To this day we are still at the edge of the seat about what is happening next in One Piece. Each week is a new surprise. It gets crazier at times and others times will have scenes that make you cry even more than before.
The "Star Wars Scream" called "Wilhelm scream". You can tell it ohne of the oldest memes at time. This scream is older than the internet and hat uses in over 300 movies and series since 1951
Zoro's supposed to be the really good fighter and he's very cool, that's his established identity. And then this _waiter_ comes in and he is also a really good fighter and also very cool, and Zoro's feeling like his role in the crew is being challenged by it. I think they'll come to have a lot of respect for each other and be close friends. But guys, if you aren't aware, often do go from rivals to friends in real life. A lot of the fighting we do with each other is just finding where each other's limits are and earning each other's respect. Masculinity is really well-portrayed in OPLA, and I'm very glad to see it, as a man. Hollywood has not done a good job of that, over the last couple decades. The strong male role models (father figures) and accurate depictions of masculinity in this series are a very welcome change. The cast-off ceremony was great. My favorite part was Nami. Just a couple episodes ago, she said that people have dreams but grow out of them. Luffy has restored her dream which she lost somewhere along the way, either when her foster mom died or during her enslavement to Arlong. Nami may need more time to heal, or not, but at least she's on the path now, as part of Luffy's crew. I want to know more about her when she's not pretending. Garp is really interesting. I have not seen the anime or read the manga, so I don't know what his past is, but he's been a great character and I hope he continues to be a main character going forward as he trains the cadets, and we learn more. I think we will find out more about him and Gold Roger. What we already got from people like Zeff was enough to really get my mind going. This series is wonderful. It's sincere. We don't get a lot of sincere media these days. Everything is so cynical and post-modern, full of grays and moral relativity. I like something that is just straight entertainment, unapologetic in its morality, and full of positivity and bright colors. We need more of this! We also need more of you. Your sincere reactions, and your dedication to note-taking and pre- and post-analysis is also a breath of fresh air. You're not a low-effort reactor, you're the real deal. I subscribed to your channel at the first mention of the notes you were taking, a while back, and I will be sticking around to see what else you do with your channel.
To be one that doesn't follow the manga, you get the heart of OP right! And especially the rivalery between Zoro and Sanji. I can assure you, many longterm fan still don’t understand them at all.
@@concettasorvillo3719 Glad to hear it. I thought the OPLA writing and acting did a good job of doing subtext and trusting the audience to figure it out. I don't like when shows dumb things down, it's insulting.
Watching your reactions to one piece over the course of a few weeks was great! You’ve seen some of how dark this show can be behind the facade of laughter and comedy. Welcome to the crew friend! 👒
Thanks for sharing your OP reactions on RU-vid, it brought me to your channel and I subbed for your general positivity and emotionally intelligent commentary. :) If you see this, here are a few replies to your commentary that you may enjoy: - Love the scar! I feel like the vibes of the series are infectious and it clearly was for you, glad you enjoyed watching the season! :D - Garp. I feel like a decent amount of people are confused when the season's conflict with Luffy is ended with, "I was testing you." I feel that Garp had his own emotional journey in the eight episodes, helped along by Coby; I think that the live action adaptation laid down enough time with Garp to see the transition, but perhaps it would be more clear to those who have spent more time with the character through the full series. Of course, at first he wanted to prevent Luffy from being a pirate, likely with the initial goal of preventing him from reaching the Grand Line, but as his attempts to stop Luffy continued to fail (when the sail was destroyed on the marine ship, Mihawk deciding not to bring Luffy to Garp) you could see Garp's duality of being furious with Luffy AND proud of his growth. When Coby asked him if leaving Luffy alone was truly the worst outcome, I feel like Garp really began to switch from full-on preventing Luffy's adventure to demonstrating that the adventure he wants to take isn't just fun and games. Coco Village was his last chance to overpower Luffy and show him that if Luffy couldn't stand up to Garp, there are untold others who can and they won't be willing to be as soft on him as his grandpa, even with Garp's tough love. And when Garp sets Luffy down and tells him that he's on his own, it's a reluctant acknowledgement that Garp will never be able to prevent Luffy from this journey and as such, will truly have to treat him like a Marine instead of family. - The "glory days." I can understand your thoughts on Garp possibly pirating, but you also know it's at odds with how Marine-centric his character has been. While there is much of the world that hasn't been introduced yet, we've come to understand Garp's take on the Marines from his talk with Coby about Mihawk: while Garp feels that the Marines are all that stand between justice and anarchy, he's also refused multiple promotion opportunities past Vice Admiral because "he would have to do things THEIR way." The audience has come to see this season that as lawless as pirates CAN be, there are exceptions like Luffy's crew and pirates aren't simply "bad" just as the Marines aren't simply "good." Garp will ultimately align with the Marines as the best option for him to try and make the world better, but if you check the opening sequence again with Gold Roger you can better contextualize their familiarity. Garp has been a Marine for a long time and much like Coby's relationship with Luffy, Garp's experience means he knows there are honorable pirates too. I would better classify Garp and Gold Roger as having a "respectful rivalry" on opposite sides of what the world at large defines as pirates and Marines, and I imagine that this type of relationship could apply to Zeff too. - Usopp. I know you paraphrased his aspiration as "the greatest warrior," I know what you meant but greatest makes it more grandiose than intended. I admit that the live action cut some of the importance of his story so it's not as clear in the adaptation, but despite having an absentee father Usopp has always idolized Yasopp for living a free life. Since Usopp is quick to exaggerate and can't quite stand on his own feet like Luffy, Zoro, or Sanji, his dream to become "a brave warrior of the sea" is to walk in his father's footsteps by setting out for adventure and becoming someone reliable who can hold his own. Thank you for posting the last reactions for this series! Sending you warm wishes for your personal journey and will be eagerly awaiting your future reactions if/when you post more.
It was really great watching your reactions to the series. You probably know this already, but as a reactor, you are actually amazing. Thanks a lot for your reviews and comments. As a long time One Piece fan, it is great to see other people experiencing the story. Thanks Lexi
I know the anime from my childhood but it took the live action to make me start watching it again. I'm at episode 600+ and I can honestly tell u that u would never regret starting the anime. I'm already crying knowing it's gonna end one day. it's a freaking masterpiece
Perfect ending indeed, great payoffs to the Jolly Roger, and the Barrel scene with the whole crew. Imo it hits the same like the manga, but still elevated it with their kid versions inserted in between.
So Garp wasn't a pirate, but he was friends/rivals with Gold Roger, similar to how Koby and Luffy were tight. Its why Garp saw his friend off at the execution, even though he had to keep on airs as a Marine and a representative of the World Government. I firmly believe Garp wasn't actually testing Luffy - he's a proud, stubborn man. But between his conversation with Zeff, the final conversation with Luffy, and Luffy reminding him of his former friend Roger, I think he finally relented, and then played it off as "it was all a test" because his pride wouldn't allow him to admit it any other way...
The "it's all a test" quote can be interpreted both ways, either straight away, or as a cover up for him finally letting Luffy go. Because o of this, this line makes the LA Garp character better, not worse imo.
I think Garp began to realise he really wasn't going to be able to crush Luffy's dream after talking to Coby and Zeff, and after he saw Luffy not backing down in the face of his strength, he began to believe it too. He knows the dangers of the Grand Line, so this final test was to finally convince himself that Luffy would never give up on being a pirate, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
The world of One Piece is massive but what makes it impossible to map is the extreme differences in currents and weathers throughout the grand line especially, and the presence of sea beasts. There's also another reason why some islands are hard to find, this will be explored a little in season 2.
In the manga/anime, ussop said he wanted to be a brave warrior of the sea, just like his father, since he was a child. He felt abandoned by him, but kept lying about it, to everyone and to himself. So that way he wouldn't hate his father. That's why he kept screaming "the pirates are coming!" Actually hoping that they really were. Hes always making up excuses for the reason why his father didn't come to see him. He's always saying something like "no, how could he come here? He's the bravest warrior of the see! He needs to keep going. One day I'll be just like him. And then we'll be able to hang out..." So... I think the series tried to make yassop look better here.
Things what I like about non fan of one piece, when they try to find Yasopp, only the fan that see him RIGHT THERE ALL THE TIME, but they don't know which one😂😂😂😂😂
29:07 Don't know if you want to know this, but recently it was revealed in manga what the method of training his punches actually was. Apparently it was beating the steel hulls of scrapped battleships for hours until there's nothing but craters left behind. Also don't know if it's a spoiler because it's quite obvious, Helmeppo was training with Bogart, because Garp don't know how to use swords.
Luffy has so much joy and kindness and does what he wants it melts your heart and you want to live up to him! And the crew is amazing in there own way others will touch others differently and I love it!
I'm extremely happy you enjoyed this whole entire season piece is my all time. Favorite anime, I absolutely loved it and I extremely love. Watching new people be introduced to the world of one piece. I can't wait for season 2. It just gets Wilder, crazier and so much better.❤
@@poltrons Also, unlike in the manga, he doesn't know for sure Nami is even good. Nami's scene with Luffy and Arlong is much more ambiguous than her scene with Ussop; it's not 100% clear she was trying to save him.
The guy with two cigars at the end is Captain Smoker, who in the anime the Straw Hats encounter in Loguetown which is the last stop before the Grand Line. Ideally he should be as buff as Henry Caville. Going forward there are a lot of opponents with devil-fruit powers, so I imagine they will need to pick and choose which ones to use if they are going to stay in budget! Oda has already indicated that he wants Tony Tony Chopper in season 2, how they choose to do that will determine how much of the CGI budget is left over.
As you've xperienced OP as LA, now trying Watch de anime, is a complete amazing Journey. For sure u'll love it. And yes, the anime is so much better than LA
Garp in his glory days once spent a week punching down several mountains and destroying them completely to train his fists to take care of a dangerous pirate with an incredibly hard head. If that gives you an idea how strong Garp is. He's literarly one of the strongest Marines and people in One Piece ever. He trained by destroying mountains lol
"Star Wars scream" do not diss my boy Wilhelm scream. His history is far greater than just Star Wars! (Yes, SW made it popular, but its been around since 1951
Hope you get to watch the anime/read the manga. Your gonna be in the feels seeing everyone full back story and journey(especially Sanji's and why he is the way he is now). Edit: In the original story Garp isn't known so early since we spend so much time getting to know the strawhats and the people we meet along the way. When Garp shows up he actually does a big revel at the time which shocks the entire crew (also the crew size is completely different from the show)
27:49 Yes Usopp and Kaya are not in a romantic relationship along with the rest of the straw hats in the manga and anime. They are canonically in love with adventure and the sea. Not only that, the creator of One Piece has admit in an interview that the reason why there’s no romance between the crew, is because he isn’t the best at writing love stories and all that. But it is most likely that Usopp, out of all the straw hats, will settle down with a love interest (Kaya) for a while before heading out to sea for more adventures. Basically, Usopp in the way future after the story is over. He’ll grow up to be like his father. Has a family but that doesn’t stop him from exploring the seas and live the pirates life.
Nah Usopp & Kaya definitely both are in love with eachother even in the anime/manga. The only romance that Oda ruled out was romance between members in the Straw Hat Crew
Garp's title is "Hero of the Marines" and so he was referencing his younger days and how he basically made a huge splash in the world, just as Luffy has done in the East Blue to make his name
Me gustaron mucho tus reacciones, soy fan de one piece desde hace 3 años, leí el manga y vi el anime, me gusta ver que gente nueva lo disfrute tanto como yo.
welcome to the one piece journey where most of us are closing onto the treasure while others are halfway and newcomers are staring their voyage to the grand line
Since the early 2010s, I'd kinda resigned myself to the reality that by that point the story was just too much of a time suck for new fans to get into. When a Live Action was announced, I was pretty anxious they'd screw it up for all the reasons we've heard a million times. It's so surreal to see new fans laugh, cry, and smile just like we did back in the late '90s with this story!
Garp was never a pirate. But he is a maverick among the marines, and his superiors begrudgingly tolerate his antics because the man is a living legend who brought some of the world’s most notorious pirates to heel.
Although others may argue, I think Garp was well represented. Garp knows how dangerous the Grand Line can be and he wanted to test Luffy's resolve. And If Garp wanted to use the Marine resources to do so, he would. And the Marines would not be able to do anything since Garp is the hero of the Marines to the world. And the Usopp Kaya relations is similar in the Manga minus the kiss.
Yeah, a lot of people either don't comprehend the Grand Line (and/or Garp) yet or are already used to it's shenanigans. I actually think it's kinda a happy medium when you're looking at a way to set up the dangers yet to come and the scale of power at the end of a season, especially when you'll have a few years before the next instalment instead of just waiting for the next week's chapter Plus, MAJOR SPOILERS FOR A FEW HUNDRED CHAPTERS FROM NOW... We'll all be thinking back to their fight here when if we make it to Marineford for a repeat
I think Garp was actually done better in the live action than in the anime tbh. The more we learn about Garp, it doesnt make much sense that notable figures wouldn't recognize his full name on the wanted poster and relation to him for so long. This whole plot this season is not only in line with his character, it demonstrates how he feels about family perfectly.
@@mossicely I agree with you. The anime Garp is fine but the live action fleshes out his character much better. The anime Garp's first meeting with Luffy felt a bit weird considering he is a Vice Admiral and Luffy just declared war on the WG. Garp coming in and just shooting the breeze with Luffy (after his fist of love) was like wut? Now, with the live action intro, we see that Garp has come to terms with Luffy being a pirate so his arrival in Water7 will make more sense. Also, his discussion with Koby in the live action helped show his conflict between his belief that the Marines (despite their faults) are needed to prevent anarchy, vs the Marines going against his morales and personal needs is well shown. His statement to Koby of "how much can you accept the reality and remain a Marine?" was not only reflective of Koby's commitment but also Garp's. It makes you understand why he stood the way he did in Marineford despite all his personal desires telling him to do different. I think the anime Garp has all this but it is not brought out in the story. Thus it leaves people saying "WTF Garp???" during Marineford. JMO.
As anime watcher i gotta say the live action did a good job making Helmeppo likeable. He still a d*ck but not as annoying and actually funny. I'm looking forward to see a leveled up Koby and him in the future seasons.
the character in the tease is SMOKER. He can turn his body to smoke and is a Marine captain/admiral. I really hope we get to see Brook and Chopper in Season 2, and Ace a Marco the phoenix would be really cool too
8:54 Of course he doesn't know that Luffy is Arlong's grandson. Ok, now I want to see that little rats face at the end of this alternative discussion: "A pirate in a straw hat." "A straw hat you say?" "Yes sir. We have - " "Goes by the name of Luffy?" "I....I believe so sir. He has - " "Monkey D. Luffy, to be exact." "I...I..I believe so yes...M-Monkey?" "Yeah. Like me. He's my grandson." "Y...you're...."
Captain Gordon, and his son...Hellempo. I'm sure their vice admiral Gorp is a real pain in their ass. Omg I love this reaction, i cry laughing almost every time.
Comments for recap: Honestly the scar just fits nicely for the video haha. Good decision i'd say, love seeing the enthusiasm. Nami and Nojiko are adopted sisters! From Oykot kingdom, not sure if its important but it was mentioned. It was mentioned that Garp is a Vice-Admiral which is a position that has only 4 people in the Marines above him(3 admirals and 1 fleet admiral) rankwise and Garp was the one who captured Roger(as well as executioner). So he is not a small fish. Comments for reaction: WILHELM SCREAM ahahaha i try to spot wilhelm screams 9:53 as well its fun. best audioclip to add. It's not explained in Live action as much as in anime/manga, Sanji fights with only kicks because hands are cooks most important tools so cant get them hurt. Buggy deserves the season only F word aimed at him LMAO i loved this version of Buggys story arc. Coby and Helmeppo friendship is the cutest thing coming from Opla, I love Helmeppos redemption arc. Man is slowly changing. The green haired lady at 27:22 is called Makino and she is the barkeep of the bar Shanks' crew visited during Luffys childhood. She is like the bigsister/aunt/mom figure for Luffy. LOVED YOUR REACTION TO SHANKS ahahaha relatable tho. Yasopp is the one on the right at 30:29 in the flashback he had a headband that said Yasopp so we could notice that. Usopps dream for the adventure is to become a brave warrior of the sea and thats the only dream where his antagonist is himself and I love watching his journey to become that man i love him so much Comments for discussion: YES! Youre on point about Garp and his sense of justice, it was mentioned in a previous episode that his own sense of justice being the reason he is not in higher position at the Marines because he would have to do things their way. REALLY nice spot with the 2 cigars, I've seen multiple reactors for this and you're the first one who picked that up. But it is very much a character who always has 2 cigars whatever he does. Damn youre also right about the One Piece world being bigger than our world, i did not know that. Had to google it haha One piece is really good with giving the unexpected, even at where we currently are in anime/manga. Its a great story that is well written. But im glad to be here, I enjoy peoples different experience on the same journey. Its just a blast honestly.
As I remember in the original book, Arlong mock Luffy knowing nothing about sailing or being a pirate. Luffy answer "I know how to beat the shit out of you.:
To answer your question, in the original anime/manga you could argue there was an implied romantic element to Ussop and Kaya's relationship but nothing outright like the kiss they had in the Netflix show
In anime/manga/game world, usually you rank character with D, C, B, A, S, SS and SSS so far and so on… If Luffy and his main fighting crewmate(Zoro, Sanji, with Luffy they are the “monster trio” in straw hat pirates, they’re always fighting the most tough enemies of SHP-and of course, there are also a “weakling trio” in SHP, but no spoilers) are at Rank D right now, Mihawk and Shanks are around SS, and Garp, maybe SSS or higher.
Garp really is Luffy's Grandpa... and he really was trying to get him to give it up by capturing or intimidating him... but overall he was testing his resolve and ultimately he WASN'T willing to put his own Grandson deep in the Marine Prison System and if you watch One Piece long enough you will one day learn why.
I actually have yet to see where people get the idea that the Blue Seas (as I call the One Piece world) is larger than Earth. The most detailed map we've ever gotten is this adaptation's end credits, and it doesn't have a scale on it, and even then is just a lot of the East Blue.
As a french, Sanji used french word of food for his techniques. Believe me, Garp doesn't show his real power (without devil fruit). And it's just a Vice Amiral not an Amiral or more a Fleet Amiral. He's right to test Luffy because Grand Line is a real real another level of Danger. The name of the mother of Nami was "Belle Mere" mean in french "Step Mom". Yassop is the guy with locks and blue shirt. Listen well what Mihawk said at the beginning of the meeting with Shanks, he put Shanks in a rank above his own so...is not a Warlord. (You gonna learn more next season or if you watch the Anime).
Garp has his own sense of Justice, in a way he is like Luffy, he does not care if youre a pirate or a normal person, if he see injustice he always do the right hing.. Garp is also the "Hero of the Maine" he should have been already a Fleet Admiral (the highest of the Marines) but he chose not too and remain as Vice Admiral for the main reason that he would be a puppet of the higher part of the government.. In a way the Monkey Family has the same values but different positions on the story..
Garps hits hit Luffy even though Alvida's club didn't affect him because Garps weapons are a 'fist of love', against which not even the gum-gum fruit can protect you.
If you want to make a realistic scar, you use collodion. It’s what Hollywood effects artist have used for scars for decades. It is probably what Luffy’s scar is made from. I’m an effects artist and have used collodion for many years to make simple scars.
Garp actually is pretty close to a pirate but he's also a Marine. What I mean about that is Garp cares A LOT about his Freedom. He personally has a deep sense of justice for good and has become a Navy War hero for chasing down many dangerous pirates and also capturing the KING of the Pirate Gold Roger. Garp is a bit eccentric and later in the story you get more insight into his complicated feelings about Luffy, Roger and Pirates and Marines in general. Let's just say that Garp very much is one that believe in order and marines help maintain that order but he DEFINITELY DOES NOT agree with a lot of the navy's policies and methods.
you're not entirely wrong about garp being a pirate, early drafts of one piece, romance dawn one-shot, garp is a pirate who inspire luffy to become one, that role was then given to shanks
The only thing we know about Garp's workout routine is that he regularly hangs out in the navy breaker's yard punching old battleships to pieces with his bare hands. In some ways the fact that he tries this to begin with tells you as much about Garp as the fact that he actually succeeds in destroying them
