Skypiea Is Great But Not Perfect | Watching One Piece for the FIRST Time & Arc Tier List 

"Why didn't Robin just wrap her hands around Yama's neck and strangle him?" Cut to Yama, who has no neck. LOL

The story of Enel actually continues after this arc, but it is NEVER shown in the anime. So whenever you feel like seeing more of Enel, you should look up "Enel's Great Space Operations Cover Story." It is a collection of cover pages from the manga that detail Enel's misadventures post-Skypiea, and it actually has major implications for the overall story of One Piece.

No Devil Fruit exists more than once at the same time, so the man in Loguetown and Eneru do not have the same fruit. There are some Devil Fruits that have similar powers - some of which are weaker or beefed-up versions of the first ones you'll see.

Mantra actually becomes important later and you'll be able to know why it's "inconsistent"

Luffy is actually super smart when it comes to knowing what someone is really thinking, like in alabasta when he slapped vivi lol.

Luffy's power is limited by his imagination. There are moves he thinks on the fly like the pinwheel move in Arlong Park and there are moves that he thinks gradually.

Ahh Skypea , the arc that gets undeservedly hated on but only gets more important with it's simbolysm , themes and connections the deeper we get into the series

Just wanted to note since you seemed to missed it: Eneru and his priests were'nt from Skypea, but rather from Birka, a different sky island (the Birkans have a different wing shape than the Skypeans) - they say that after Eneru got his devil fruit and his priests, he destroyed Birka and moved to Skypea (kicking Gan Fall out)

Mantra's purpose on this arc is foreshadowing, don't mind it too much.

Seeing you go full conspiracy theory mode on Dragon is so relatable

I'm glad you liked this arc. Most people don't really like this arc until they come back and realize all the little dumplings that come back tie back to it.

"why exactly does he need a ship again?" because he's a man of opulence and not utility. he believes himself to be a god. as with many people with god complexes, he opts for grandiosity whenever possible. 9:11 to answer your question, Luffy is very much the type to come up with new moves on the fly. it's rare to see Luffy practicing or training on camera even when he does think of them. his creativity is what makes his power as effective as it is. Zoro had a focus on being able to cut steel for 2 reasons. 1.) it's a goal marker for any aspiring swordsman. his path to the top couldn't be realized without it 2.) the opponent, with whom he was in a lethal battle, demanded it. it was sink or swim. Mantra is a concept that's yet to be expounded upon, but it's not inconsistent just because Gedatsu seemingly can't use it. trust that Oda has a plan. just about everything he introduces has a through line. "if he was born atop Skypiea, where did the devil fruit even come from?" why do you assume devil fruits are exclusive to the blue sea? you've yet to learn their origin. "just wrap her hands around his neck" 23:43 look at this guy. lol what neck? DUMPLING

Nami's waver is more powerful because it uses the superior but basically extinct Jet dial rather than a Wind/Air dial. We only see one other Jet Dial in the show which is used by Gedatsu. Nami waver was found in the wreckage of a centuries old ship, obviously Jet dials were still around back then. It's not a hint really.

Skypiea is a great arc that gets even better after every arc. It has a LOT of little mysteries that becomes relevant later on. The thing I notice with One Piece is that it doesn’t like to info Dump(ling) the audience. Like you won’t have a character explain in full detail their abilities and how they use it, which would break the immersion of the fight or scene.

Waver of Nami is powerful because the Dial is from the Old ship. and i am pretty sure the old man say that type of Dial get extinct ...

I’m really glad you enjoyed Skypiea as much as you did. I know a lot of people who hate it(we don’t associate with those people) and it’s a very decisive arc. The next couple arcs are comedic fun ones so don’t take them too seriously

He wants higher stakes. Dumpling you will get it and probably you will not want it anymore. MerpyNapier is a clear example.

Luffy's moves do build upon one another. For instance, Fireworks is based on the Pinwheel one from Arlong Park. It also often happens that Luffy steals moves from opponents, even just to try to see if they work.

It felt good seeing you put this in S LOL. I've seen so many people complain about this arc and it's pacing and such, but having watched it for the first time ever last week, it was unquestionably one of the most entertaining arcs I've watched thus far!

The Mantra stuff will be expanded on a lot, but not for a long while. Just keep it in mind in the future

One thing to note is that when Robin reads the Poneglyph at the end, it actually mentions the name of another ancient weapon Poseidon, and it's location. So now we have two ancient weapons mentioned: Pluton, which is what Crocodile was looking for, and Poseidon which we don't know anything about yet. 🤔 Also, dumpling.

The final punch towards the bell will never be not good.Luffy final's punch for a major arc always resonates thematically or symbolically.Just look at Crocodile,being punched out from the underground,exposing his shadowy plans to the open

Luffy is made out of rubber so most of these new moves are combos of already known moves or just basic implementations of his df. Eg:- Gomu gomu no kazagaruma - roots his feet in the concrete to give him a foothold then contorts his body to generate potential energy then actually spins around while holding a heavy object to convert it to kinetic energy destroying everything around him(Basic implementation). Gomu gomu no screwnigibiglah- Gomu gomu no bazooka + same spinning mech as the last one but just with his hands. The one you mentioned- Gomu gomu no fuusen+ Gomu gomu no gatling gun + spinning mech.

G-8 is considered by many to be the best filler arc so you will absolutely love it

I just watched the whole playlist today. Fantastic. I can’t wait for you to catch up to current events.

The mantra thing will be explained later on. This is an introduction to the concept and is supposed to be unclear. When it comes to new moves, I think the story makes it clear when it is suppose to be notable. Some moves are just for fun and and variety, others are to give the SHs a clear power up or the ability to do something they where unable to do before. See zoro last arc vs the moment with Luffy that promted the question. The move in the beginning of the arc was just something neat. It was not like Luffy would be unable to deal with them without that move. There might be some weird moves in the anime filler, idk. Have only read the manga. Dumpling

Love this videos, just commenting to recommend you read the cover stories. The Buggy sequence after he got yeted and return to his crew was part of a cover story and sadly the anime doesn't cover to much of this, even if they are VERY cannon, around skypea you should read Hachi's sea floor adventures, witch follow the octopus from arlong park and its relevant information later on

21:56 His ship is to carry his moon loot, Also his ship is made of loot.

Enel originally decided to travel with four more people. That's why he needed a ship. Plus why not. It's cool and comfortable. People can buy normal comfortable cars but they do buy rolls Royce and gold plated BMW.

The merrys Restoration gets explained in the Water 7 Saga

I personally don't care about the the lack of main characters dying in One Piece. One Piece is not Game of Thrones, I don't need to see Chopper on a spike. One Piece may not have a lot of death, but it has something other Shonen mostly don't bother with, emotional stakes. In One Piece death is not everything at stake, usually I care deeply about the characters and the outfall of the fights. Contras it with the last seasons of Bleach or Naruto - an endless horde of irrelevant characters you mostly don't care about with flashy abilities in cool fights with lots of death. In Dragon Ball, I don't chare if the galaxy was disintegrated, or if all Gokus family gets lasered in half. In One Piece I care if a pet food store is destroyed - and it does get destroyed, forever. Not returned with magic powers or some bullshit. In One Piece there are meaningful losses, not just death. But as you are not very far in One Piece, maybe you should not discount the possibility of main characters dying just yet.

Was waiting for this one🔥

I have to compliment you on that thumbnail, good job

You’re very close to some of the best arcs in the series!! (Water 7 + Enies Lobby)

New moves are a weird subject. They usually come up with new ones pretty often as they acquire new tech and pass fights. They will combo moves as well later on. However, this isnt really important as the individual named moves arent as major as they are in other anime. They arent always the big enders to fights, you will tend to see some moves much more often such as Gum gum pistol but its the techniques that matter more. What i mean by this is that they will also stick to their theme, Zoro wont start doing kung fu and nami wont become a staff wielding ninja, they will always stick to their roles in the group, this gets much easier to spot as the crew grows and the slots become more set in stone especially for the power trio. One thing to note though is, when you asked the question it was regarding Luffy doing the '''' as you didnt think we had seen it before, which technically is true but in reality we have as its just a further variation on his Gomu Gomu no Storm, which again was a variation on the Gomu Gomu no Fusen (first he goes balloon, then he twists, then he starts punching). This is basically how Luffy fights, he constantly tries new things and if it works, tries it again but with more steps. He will straight up just try and copy other people as well but in his own way, like when he just straight up tries to eat Crocodile using the Gomu Gomu no Baku Baku Heh you think Enel is the strongest, oh sweet child we arent even in the New World yet haha its so much fun hearing you having theories that sometimes are pretty close and sometimes oof, miles out. xD

I think the anime introduces a few new moves occasionally, but trust me, it'll be clear when a new move is a big step up in power.

Really can't wait for your review of the next saga

Eneru needs the ship because electricity doesn't travel well through outer space, obviously. His goal was to get to Fairy Vearth, AKA the moon.

awesome video man also man i just got home from work and my mom is making such awesome dumplings man i’m hyped

just to tell you, this isn't the first time we've seen mantra. What Zoro used against Mr 1 is actually mantra as well.

I mean, SOME people die, but when somebody dies it’s a massive deal. The amount of characters that sustain life threatening injuries and are fine and dandy within a few episodes gets ridiculous. It used to frustrate me as well, but I’m on episode 815 now, and I’m just kinda used to it at this point. Would definitely say the best way to go about it is to accept it and move on, because for me at least, dwelling on it was almost painful lol.

BRO you're gonna fucking LOVE the next saga, probably the best saga in the story so far, it's really unrelated to dumplings.

Finally its out! I used to be on par with You on one piece but suddenly I started watching more and more😂 Im on ep 502 btw.

Why enel needs a ship is because he actually sucks at using his devil fruit, with the only reason he is threatening being that it is a powerful fruit.

"Why does Enel need a ship." Because he's made of lightning and wants to go to outer space. Where there are no molecules to have the lightning until he reaches the moon. On EARTH he doesn't need a ship, but he didn't build the ship for earth. TBH I'm not sure his ship could get him there either. He'd probably be better off grabbing a ball of metal and launching it with a magnetic coil, with him inside as an electric charge. But maybe he wants nice things on the moon when he gets there.

Ey enjoying the series

Oh man looking back at this knowing what we know now just shows how amazing oda is as a writer The introduction of haki Luffy throwing his party and bringing all of skypia together and the image of him as a shadow looks very familiar to something we've seen in the manga One piece is a show about a lot of deep and serious topics, and seeing all of that in the very early stages is amazing

He needs the ship because he wanted to take some of his chosen followers with him on his space adventure. Eneru can't move that fast carrying everyone.

Your review voice is as soothing as aDUMPLING

the stronger waver wasn't really super special it was just stronger because it was designed to be used on the regular ocean in water which is much denser than the cloud water that most wavers were designed for.

The moment where Luffy rings the bell and it is heard throughout skypiea and all the way to the blue sea to mock town is so powerful. - It signified the end of the conflict between the Shandians and the Skypieans (the song of the Vearth if i remember corrently) - Cricket, the descendant of Norland heard the sound of the bell and he finally knew that Norland never lied and that the golden city existed and it ended the promise between Norland and calgara through their descendants which were Cricket and Wyper. - It was a message to the non-dreaming pirates down at Mock town Skypiea is an absolutely fantastic arc and its the type of arc which gets much better once you re-read it after catching up.

Luffy is creative and a battle genius, he's intuitive in combat and comes up with new ideas for new moves on the spot, thought you realized that while watching already. Luffy is perceptive in combat and with understanding others, Luffy is creative person especially in battle. Its as simple as that.

The next two openings spoil A LOT, don't watch until you're like halfway through the next two main arcs. Specifically what I mean by "main arcs" is: Don't watch the next opening (opening 5) until you are halfway through the arc that the next saga is named after. And don't watch the opening after that (opening 6) until you are halfway through the arc following opening 5's arc.

Korotos: "more flashbacks please" Dressrosa: *cue malicious compliance*

"Dragon has been teased way too much for me not to overthink every single little detail" that's a whole ass MOOD. even today I still gather my whiteboard to assemble everything I know of him at every chance we even heard of him. lmfao. I just love him despite not knowing anything. He's my lil dumbling u know~~

I think the reason he needed a ship was so that he can go to the moon

Three things… First, I applaud your understanding, and bravery in addressing the religious themes. The way Oda handles these themes is one of the reasons why Skypiea is one of my top five arcs. The fact that you put this at number 1, tells me you are truly a bright soul. Second, without spoiling, mantra only works if the user has a calm mind. Gedatsu was just too much of an idiot to utilize it effectively. Lastly, your theory on what the One Piece could be, is literally my own personal theory as well. I’ve posted it in various OP groups, and even commented it on youtube. I’d love to treat you to a DUMPLING some day, because we’re definitely kindred spirits.

I just saw the first few seconds of your video - and to answer your question - you'll find out soon enough! (at least we found out in the cover stories in the manga)

How ironic that Kroto complains often about how repetitive certain things get in the story while also saying "chief's kiss" ~40 times during 1 video

I think they mention that Gedatsu is a dumpling head and that he doesn’t know how to use mantra

Luffy's power's limit is literally just his imagination LOL his body is made out of rubber, imagine how many moves can u do with a rubber body?

The "mantra" and devil fruit types will be explained in time, Enel can move at the speed of lighting and creates momento on air but I don't think he can fly. I believe Dragon has the power to control the wind which allows him to move the clouds and create storms. Even thought the sky people dont know much about the world bellow they mention travel ships that travel across sky islands, maybe one of those ships had enel devil fruit. Im glad u liked this arc, a lot of people think this arc is meh compared to arabasta. Next comes my favorite filler of all then my least favorite canon arc.

About 5 minutes ago i searched your channel to see if you had any update on OP but nothing. Just now i clicked on YT's main page and this showed up in the recommended section. What are the chances lol

Oh my god finally someone else that says iron like "ay-ron"! Should I assume you're hispanic too? because I'd be happy to invite you a dumpling or something XD

devil fruits occur naturally after a devil fruit user dying so they can occur in sky islands

Gematsu doesn't use Mantra because he makes your average idiot look smart. Mantra is usable as long as the user's mind is calm or otherwise not experiencing emotions like surprise. And some people are better at using than others. And it's also a skill one can improve through training.

Yooohoooo. Let's goooo. 👏👏👏

He needs the maxim to get to the moon, he can move fast but he can’t fly, I thought that was pretty obvious…

Thanks for the dumpling

8 videos in and I like this first experience with the beloved world of One Piece 💕😍 subscribed for more and will watch all other content of interest. 😊

Honestly I totally forgot out the next arc, G8! A different arc but also still enjoyable! And I’m very surprised by the score you gave! While you did seem to enjoy it, from the criticisms, I thought it would be like a B. But I’m very surprised and glad you enjoyed it so much!

Enel as a lightning man can travel that fast both going downwards and to any other direction, BESIDES up.

Zoros technique against mr1 was a special. The special thing about it will be clear later on.

I think Luffy is just a guy how is like "ok I have this thing I wanna do " and then does it while Zoro is trying to achieve a certain thing in his style to fight. (The thing that his sensei talked about). I like Dumpling .

Great Review! And every Question you had will be answered.

Ussop can't reverse engineer them. Dials are not made, they grow naturally in the sky islands. Certain types of dials can be found, and some dials have gone extinct.

I really enjoyed skypeia just like you and I think that the noland flashback is in the top 5 flashbacks, some of your problems being unexplained happens a lot in one piece whether noticeable or not, such as something in luffy flashback which I will not mention until it's explained, and some will be explained. I actually wouldn't mind if the next episode is just on G-8 cuz, even though it's a filler, its amazing and the only part of the anime I've watched (other than episode 480) and it somehow has foreshadowing even though it's filler. Can't wait for the next one but remember to take your time and eat enough dumplings.

Holy cow. You mentioning that the waiver Nami had in the arc is special blew my mind. I'm connecting some dots right now you don't even know exist okay. Watch out for the future cover stories, is all I will say... (edit: I just remembered you're watching the anime. So, uh, I believe people have told you about the cover stories? For example, remember Buggy's fun little side adventure? where he met Gaimon and then joined hands with Alvida. That was set between his defeat at Orange Town and his reappearance, right? Well, in the manga that happened through the chapter covers, as each One Piece chapter has one. Periodically we get side stories in them with characters from previous arcs. I don't think the anime covered the ones we got from Skypea's characters, so I'd suggest looking for them as they give you some interesting pieces to think over. Specially Enel's, since Gedatsu's is basically some wholesome comedy. I know you're planning on reading the manga afterwards, but thought I'd let you know) Basically what Luffy did is just a new move that is absolutely within his current skillset and not a power-up, he just had to get a little creative. With Zoro, on the other hand, You can indeed think of it as a power-up, as it is something that significantly changes what he can do now vs. what he could do before. Case in point: bald guys' cables. He wouldn't have been able to cut those without the revelations he had during his Alabasta fight, whereas Luffy just thought of something different he could do with what he already had. With Luffers, he just does a lot of out-of-the-box thinking... Trust me, you'll now a power-up when you see it. edit: "Isn't this power like the stongest one that can reasonably exist?" Oh you sweet summer child... edit: Dumpling!

Not sure why you thought Crickets house could be ignored when its the precise confirmation that Jaya is in the sky

Noland and calgara, the best bromance in the series

The dial was inconsistent because it uses stored power.

The amazing part is how in the future arcs they somehow add more to previous arcs. There is one coming up that I 'disliked' but as time went on it became better and better as part of a whole. Even hundreds of episodes after that arc he'd go back and point out how a few more minor details actually mattered.

don't worry mantra will be explained in the future.

Watching you asking for a higher stake reminds me of another one piece reviewer, Merphy.. all i can say is, oh you sweet summer dumpling

As for why Enuru has a ship when he can just use his devil fruit: because why not? Like, literally, he doesn't really seem to use the ship, it's just a thing to have.

Very very suprise U gave SkyPiea a S Tier. Coz I would say 80% of op fans rank SkyPie C or lower tier then expected. I love Skypie too and its a underrated Arc. Thank You So much for Loving Skypiea in your review. Dumpling❤ P.S Prison Break is coming lol😂

One Piece for me is inspired in real life history and issues that is still happening 🤷🏻‍♀️🙌🏻

I realy love that the one piece characters are so hard kill, because of it the real deaths hit so much more.

As for how the Ship was repaired to its original looks. pirate ships are said to be inhabited by water spirits that take make the ship itself a sort of possessed being. basically TLDR the ship actually fixed itself

Gedatsu's mind is just special

Luffy makes up his moves based on what he sees in his adventures. So yes pay attention to how they power up, but still don't overthink it. To say any more would be a spoiler...😈

If Eneru returns.... Well... You can clearly see he is going towards the moon :) That's giving me skypiea-like vibes. Hope Oda does something with this!

Mantra or what we find out is called hoki on the ground actually become relevent later in the series

oh yeah , mantra is gonna be explained way later but it’s basically insane intuition

Nolands back story is so damn good.

Don't overthink new moves too much. New skills are usually developed off-screen. That goes for both standard attacks and big finishers. OP doesn't do training arcs like Dragonball's.

About Enel building the ship, lightning cannot travel in the void (he went to the moon)

Mantra does get explained to be haki as you will now know and the thing is it's inconsistent with who all has it because it's a very rare ability among people even if it slowly becomes more and more common among the main characters and villains like it IS still rare this is a very small percentage of people in the end 💀

Why do you keep equating speed to flight?! This makes no sense, what point are you even making? He needs the ship to go to the moon.

This arc was a beautiful dumpling full of lore wasn't it
