The One Piece Live Action Made Baratie Better Than The Anime 

great reaction!

I love Sanji so much. Homie just came in with all that charisma like he owns the place…..and I’m not mad at him Sanji is definitely cooking

Mihawk is one of the best cast actors. Dude literally looks like him.

I showed my mom One Piece a while ago and I will never forget how she called Krieg "Discount Thanos"

Funny thing about the changed storyline stuff I remember seeing that Oda was consulted on and asked about every change that happens and had to sign off on it for it to go ahead, if anything this is Oda now getting to retell the beginning of one piece with a better understanding of what he wanted

Things to notice on second reawatch: 1. When Sanji is serving their table the first time - there's a crew of white-clad servers in the background cleaning the bodies at the table of that marine & pirate Sanji beat up lol 2. When Zeff comes in asking "who the hell is Monkey D. Luffy" - you can see Sanji's figure walk-by behind him, probably grinning his ass LMAO

The funniest thing about the whole "Garp is strong as fuck" discussion they had is that Ruff is the only one caught up with the manga, so he really knows

This series was a banger. Showed my dad this series and he enjoyed it. He never cared for anime or manga so I'm so happy to see him like One Piece.

8:30 is the first hint of how good Usopp's eyes are. He can read it, even tho the camera clearly shows that they are still within the fogbank

I never got into the anime because the length seemed very daunting. This live action peeked my interest so much that I'm actually starting the anime.

I don’t know if anyone noticed, but if you rewatch Zoro vs Mihawk they gave resonating sound effects to both Wado Ichimonji and Yoru for their respective graded swords. And if you notice further, Yoru’s sound resonated far more than Wado Ichimonji’s being it was a Supreme Grade

Steven John Ward who plays Mihawk, killed it, this show is gonna kickstart many careers.

The only part of this show that goes downhill is when episode 8 ends and we have to wait for more 😂

Them showing the bounty when introducing a pirate is dope as fuck 🔥

I loved that Garp laughs after Luffy escapes. I always got the sense that while Garp hated that Luffy was a pirate, he loves that he’s living with freedom. This encapsulates that perfectly. They kept Mihawk says about hunting rabbits with a cannon. And I love that Zoro uses 3000 worlds, though he doesn't call it that. I think Oda has said that it was going to be the yonko, with Crocodile being one of the yonko. There was a really great video by the channel Dak's Sake recently where he used east blue to sort of plot out what Oda's initial 5 year plan was and then he used that to make prediction about the final saga.

Despite having a really cool design in the manga Mihawk he was never a favorite of mine. The live action version elevated him quite a bit. It's hard to even explain why because he's close to 1:1 with the manga version. It's just little details like his attitude, those hawk-like little micro head tilts he does, the pasodoble music that comes to the forefront every time he has the upper hand in the fight. Just really friggin' cool. Him splitting Krieg's galleon in half also gives me faith that they'll be able to pull off the large scale stuff if they can make it into later seasons.

I like how Usopp was able read the Baratie sign even though we (the audience) can’t; a nod to how good his sight is.

Nami and Zoro's drinking game was great. It made it meaningful that Nami stayed on the Baratie to watch his duel, which was a change to the story that I loved. Mihawk's actor is so good!

I do appreciate how Mihawk sounds so unfazed by everything, like nothing's even a challenge to him, it certainly fits how someone of his skills would behave. Did hope for more Gin though because I do still hold hope he's alive out there Pour one for Johnny and Yosaku, now how will kids know that lemons will help stop scurvy?

Having you guys -- who actually know the material -- watch this and have intimate insights and knowledge and still came out with a great appreciation for this adaptation is something I would watch over and over. This is quality content.

It's impossiple for Oda to recreated the story and i bet he would do some changes knowing how the series pogress and the experience he gotten. The live action kinda show how Oda would or might handle some stuff differently and that;s why his involve was essencial.

It's such a small detail but I really, really like that there's now a reason Mihawk comes into the picture. And not just showing up just because he can. That's a small anime troupe that annoys me a bit. Just characters showing up for no reason. Also, I agree with you guys, I really love what they went with in this live-action. I feel like the story works so much better like this than how it goes in the manga/anime. As much as I enjoyed the anime, the pacing mentally killed me. Also the characters aren't yelling all the time, like in the anime.

mihawk is my favourite in the live action, the costume and makeup design is impeccable plus the actors voice is so cool and fitting

Ngl when I finished episode 2, I didn’t like how much they changed it, but I saw y’all reaction to it, and it completely changed how I see the entirety of the live action. I now love the live action.

I like how the live adaptation gives us not only little easter eggs, but they keep even seasoned one piece fans (such as myself) on our toes and give us fun surprises like Luffy and Garp interacting so early on ❤

5:22 I love that thing of garp being mad but laughing. There are so many reasons why that is an amazing little touch

that mihawk scene was so epicly well done

I actually never watched the One Piece anime, I just couldn’t get into it. But I decided to watch the live action and absolutely loved it! It was so good! And I didn’t need to know anything previously to be able to enjoy it. I’ve learned a lot more about the lore from just watching your reactions. Thanks for making my new One Piece experience inviting and easy to follow! You got a new subscriber.

this live action adaption is so well made and full of love. (anime fan here, never had the money to read all the manga books) What I also love about it: In german (my mother tongue) they casted the mostly the same voice actors that dubbed the anime in german. Its so nostalgic and glorious to hear Luffys voice when he screams his attacks.

皆さんの反応が本当に好きです！めちゃくちゃに楽しかったです！原作のコメディシーンが好きで、このドラマに挿入されているコメディシーンも楽しみに見ているのですが、他のリアクターさんはそれをスキップすることが多くて残念。でも皆さんはそういうシーンや小ネタを拾って楽しんでいるので、私もつられて笑えてきます。本当にありがとうございます！

I really like how they handled the small blade part of the fight. by cutting to the conclusion of the atks they could create implied impact without risking the actors safety. Well done.

That balloon scene though. Luffy always could do whatever. Lose someone with fire powers, adds a power up to his arsenal, fights someone who's too big, makes himself stronger. Creativity was always the key.

I LOVE how they are going about the pacing. Them showing the mihawk vx kreig fight ONE SCREEN is such a power move bc we never see it before hand ❤❤❤❤ everyone who was involved in this needs LEGIONS of credit

Im excited for season 2 Especially Ace, his fire abilities would be cool in the live adaptation

I really liked all this because this clearly paints a picture of the one piece world and it's structure.. that not everything is black and white and not all pirates are bad and not all Marines are good, but still Marines are necessary for the functioning of the world. It's not that either of the extremes are the right thing... And this we'll slowly know in the anime later but this is important in live action as people have to understand one piece is not childish as it seems in the surface level with all the colors, imaginative world, goofiness etc. And this live action is doing a Greta job at that

Honestly Zoro's defeat was the first scene that made me cry. I wasn't a big One Piece fan but I could definitely feel his emotions. And that little cover of the eye could come out very cringey but it didn't. It felt appropriate,

You have to also realize that with Garp, it wasn't really intended to be a secret as long as we think it was in the west. The Romance Dawn one-shot was already well known when One Piece began, or at least, it would have been expected that fans of one piece would go back and read the pilot, and it's very clear that Garp was the design of luffy's grandfather from Romance Dawn.

Mihawks observation haki was slight but it was hinted at in this episode and it's dope to see that and this fight in Live Action 💯🔥

If you look closely Don Krieg did the Yamcha pose 😂😂

I also enjoy how they're handling Garp and the Marines compared to the Manga. The Marines and the WG in all their nuance with the pirates is a huge part of OP. But I feel like you don't really understand the weight of that in the Manga until much later. So from a narrative standpoint I think it's smart to include it imimmediately.

They should genuinely make a Baratie themed restaurant. That would be amazing

i appreciate how you guys loved the live adaptation. im hoping that theres a season 2 and more. i loved it so much.

Love the changes they HAD to make and they made them well. I only have a few things to complain about this season and one of them is from this episode. And that's that Sanji should've been in this scene like in the og. Since he's basically given up on his dream, he should've witnessed Zoro facing his own head on and losing and yet still moving forward. Would've added a notch on why he'd want to join the crew later, seeing how Luffy inspires his crew.

These are my favourite reactors, makes me feel like am part of the discussion. It's great real fans of OP and know what they are talking about. There are some scenes I forgot in the anime but their discussion reminds of it.

What saddens me about this is the number of people who, even if they heard of this, would be like "oh it's an anime adaptation, nah." But this isn't just a good anime adaptation, for fans of anime or whatever. It's a good show in general, that I think would work really well for a general western audience if it didn't have the word "anime" simply attached to it.

I like Taz Skylar as Sanji.

"you're like a little frog croaking in a well.." is probably based of a Japanese proverb "A frog in a well knows nothing of the sea.." Mihawk calling out zoro for thinking that he can take him on. Zoro is like a frog who thinks the whole world is as big as the sky the frog sees from the well, not knowing his own limitations. basically it just "know your place" 😅

27:22 not to be pedantic but I think, Oda actually wasn’t planning for the Warlords, the story was originally going to be against the Yonko.

My wife has never seen one piece while I have been a fan of over a decade. Only knowing what she's heard or seen in passing from me, she loved this version and almost wants to start the anime. Im trying to convince her that she doesn't have to start at the beginning and go to the end just till shes satisfied or the next season is released.

I really like the Garp/Koby b plot inclusion. I agree 100% that it works, it makes sense. I also think it will, if they do manage to get this far, will make season 4 or 5 much easier for them because with everything they’d have to get into that section of show? This take something very important off their plate without them excluding it. There are very small complaints I have about certain things. I don’t think syrup village needed two episodes. I think watching zoro climb a well an entire episode was a waste of his backstory, think it should have been interjected during the mihawk fight. And I don’t love that Luffy doubts himself at certain times but that’s a small thing, they probably did it just to make him a little less anime protagonist lol. I don’t mind overall. Some things were completely rushed through so the emotion didn’t hit as it should have BUT that’s almost unavoidable considering how much they had to establish, I bet my soul season two would be sooo good because they’d be able to focus more proegressing rhe story than set up so I am definitely on board for this show getting a good run. And I repeat the biggest change, I love. I really liked the Garp side plot.

Garp is 100% my favorite in this show

A lot of people don't understand nautical terminology, but a first mate simply means it's your first friend to join. the word mate is equivalent to the word friend in British parlance, it's not necessarily a title (like vice-captain or Purser or sniper, etc.), it just means you were the first to join up with the captain. However it can evolve into a rank depending on the nature of the crew.... piracy makes its own rules

It could be better if they didn't cut the part Zoro said "You heard that, King of Pirates?" to Luffy after he promise he won't lose to anyone again. It stuck on me the most because it shows just how much Zoro believe that Luffy gonna be King of Pirates and trust each other dreams.

What you say about the way they tell the story is very true. When you watch the Anime, you can really tell that just one idea comes after another. I'm not a One Piece geek, I think I only watched 200 episodes or so when it freshly came out like 20 years ago but if I remember correctly, then these story arcs were never really connected. It's very typical for Anime. Oh we got this checked out? Now here comes the new objective or the new enemy. They introduce concepts after the prior one was fully explored. It just makes sense that they handle the live action series very different to that. It feels way more alive and believable this way. It's legit better than the anime.

The show is so perfect. My complaints are too tiny to even mention. What a homerun

Love how y'all so pumped up I can feel it thu the screen!

My one initial complaint was that some things they changed affected how each Straw Hat got to join the crew, so it felt like they were just putting Usopp and Sanji there just because. But I'm rewatching it now, and with rewatches comes the ability to focus on details. Maybe they changed a few things, like taking out Jango and giving Krieg his just desserts in the Grand Line rather than at East Blue, but they didn't change the Straw Hats. They each got to join and they each get to keep their selves, but they do it differently. Different doesn't mean worse. It just means different. And I love that this is a chance to relive One Piece in a different way but keeping everything that makes it One Piece intact. Edit: And yes, I'm a manga fan, and I love it. I loved it even with the one (1) complaint, and now I love it even more, I get the shivers at some scenes even though I've already watched the live action, so... And the non-fans I've watched it with love it too, so they definitely did a good job.

One piece was the one anime I swore I would never start just because an anime that has over 1,000 episodes about a pirate kid never interested me. But seeing the enthusiasm and genuine love from the cast for the anime caught my eye enough to look forward to the live action. After watching the live action, after learning how relatable the characters are, and how amazing the actors did, it just made me fall in love with the series. Side note, Inaki is the only person who would do Luffy justice.

who tf said it goes downhill after episode 4 lmfaooooo it literally gets SO DAMN GOOD after episode 4

What is perfect about this Live Action is like y’all said WE already know all the little details, but it’s hard to talk my friends into 1000 episodes of the best show ever. This Netflix adaptation, I had to finish it before fully recommending as a substitute to someone who won’t take that perilous dive. They hit all the core moments that we all love, and they show the new viewers how much is really going on in the world and how important each characters dreams are. Idk I think they nailed this adaptation.

I agree with ruff on the point that they did it because they weren’t sure if they got a second season, but I think the majority of reactions were so good it kind of backfired for later season’s, because imagine if new fans found this out (I assume in the fourth season) later.

What followed is Arlong Park, then comes Lougue Town, where we will meet Smoker. How would his power adapt to the live action? Also, the encounter with Buggy that we didn't have before. Buggy, Alvida and Smoker are all in Lougue Town before laving to the Great Line. Edit: I forgot another important character that appears in Lougue Town, Dragon.

My dad doesn't like to watch series and usually watch the summarized version of every movies and series in YT. This is the first time after a long time ive seen him watched a series and finished it 😭

One thing that i love about the Live Action is how they perfectly set up how Koby will grow as a character. In this season, his arc is about Mind, he is learning that the world is not black and white, not even shades of gray, it is a multitude of colors and he needs a strong mind to accept that. Next season will probably be Body, of course very similar to the anime, he will need to become phisically strong in order to survive the Grand Line, and will have to deal with being used because of this strenght. I hope they get far enough to finish it with an arc about Spirit, where he forges his own sense of justice as he climbs up the ranks with unwavering determination.

I was waiting for your upload 🥰

Was waiting for this all day.

i really missed the " is that ok with you pirate king?" this was the first time Zoro true feelings over luffy dream was revealed. it was intense and i wished they kept it

I wish they showed his boat entry scene too with green candles in the fog..that shit was cold af

i like that they changed the story for this first season to make the stakes higher. this was a great reaction video, you guys gave great insights

I think this is a good adaptation (I actually liked more this mihawk than the manga one) but in my opinion it lacks a lot of key character moments that make the manga so special

I agree. What they did in OPLA is genius bec setting the stage for the grand reveal will have a big impact in later episodes. Time will tell but we'll get there if the series will be renewed for future seasons

i think what OPLA got right is that they made sure the show is first and foremost a good standalone show, after that they can start to pay respect to the original material. the pitfalls of other live actions is that they chose to follow the original material too close only to forget that they're a show on their own too. lots of sacrifices that hurt the cohesion of the story only because they wanted to copy a panel/a dialogue/a characterization as similar as possible.

8:31 Usopp’s vision, a minor detail but it shows how good he’s because only he could read it. Also Taz Skylar did learn to cook properly,that’s how much dedication he gave into his role. It’s amazing because he was the only one amongst all actors who was criticised for not looking like Sanji, but the dude embodied Sanji❤

I’m so happy you guys are enjoying it.

I know im late but im happy fans of the manga an anime are saying they enjoy that the garp reveal was so early compared to the source. For the live action it works so well because of how everything else comes together.

I really hope the show keeps going, I think they've nailed the live action adaptation so far and having Oda helping oversee the project with all of the things he's learned really shows in this. I wasn't really hooked in one piece anime nearly as much or as fast as I was hooked by this adaptation! (to the point that I'm probably going to watch more of the anime again)

when the next one dropping i am excited too much. I am drunk and its 4 am already so would love to know when next one comes guys. lovin ur reactions.

They completely missed on Sanji's 2 MOST IMPORTANT motivators for joining the crew, and those are him witnessing Zoro vs. Mihawk and Zoro's pledge afterwards, and also Luffy's fight with Don Krieg. Without those 2 moments, Sanji joining the crew in this show is just because "these pirates have a job for me instead of this place."

I read some of one piece growing up and it wasn’t really for me. It was fine, but I am not a 1000 episode, 25 years of books kind of person. I am loving this. I think some of the backstories are in the wrong episodes, I love the way they have reimagined the story telling. Also! All of the quiet, friend building moments between the crew have my heart.

we gonna ignore the fact live action Ussop is now “bar” besties with Mihawk ?

So the title is jus going to keep being they did it better then the anime💀😭

One thing I love about the Live Action is that they show more about other important side characters like the Garp taking helmeppo and Coby under his wing and training them together with his right hand man Bogart. Because the anime does the opposite, the more the characters seems important the less they show them for the mysterious effect. And also I can guarantee that This Dinosaur Island those two giants and Laboom will be included in the Live action. They may shorten it but it will be included for sure 😉

I like how you guys pause and discuss something, rather than talking over the show then later on confused about the because you didn't get to watch it while talking 🤣🤣

The more serious while still funny moments suits the live action better they don't need filler villains at this point. It's cool that some are present and that's fine, but a more direct serious route is building this version as a good pirate story for all viewers

Yes, Oda originally planned it at 5 years with the 4 emperors. Adding the 7 sea lords was the first of many additions that drew the story out so long.

Never seen anything from the manga, am up to date with the anime, and I do love the changes. I was on edge about them in the early episodes, but I kept going along for it, and it just all blend into the story like a charm.

I think its also some plot points werent a thing when the story was first written, now they can put references in because the story is fleshed out

- Sanji is played by while Taz Skylar who was also Walt in “The Lazarus Project”, Gin in “The Deal”, Billy in “Boiling Point”, & many more. Fun fact he & Zeff’s actor actual work together before having a father son relationship so this was perfect casting - Mihawk is played by Steven John Ward (who also is Mark in “Catch Me a Killer”, Ezra in “Triggered”, Chaz in “Vagrant Queen”, & many more) while his younger self in Roger execution is played by Theo Le Ray - Zeff is played by Craig Fairbrass who also is Eddie (Villian), Arkad (Stargate SG-1), Pat (Rise of the Footsoldier), & many more - Krieg (bounty 17,000,000 Berries / Yen = $ 115,008.62) is played by Milton Schorr who also is Burrell (Black Sails), Graham (Warrior), Mercenary (Tomb Raider), & many more - Patty is played by Brashaad Mayweather who also is Bmore (Summer with the Guys), Brown (Deep Blue Sea 3), Damion (The Coroner), & many more - Gin is played by Litha Bam who also is Bartok (Raised by Wolves), Ben (Warrior), & many more - Fullbody is played by Jean Henry who is also Arno (Diepe Waters) - Moody is played by Amber Hossack & she was also in Cut-Out Girls - “Cresent Moon” Gally is played by Nkulueko Phiri who also is Hlubi messenger (Shaka iLembe) which - Easter Eggs found in this Episode: - With the Going Merry’s railing getting broken by cannon balls reminds me that we don’t have Johnny & Yosaku ins’t here to fix it because this is the point in the Manga / anime when they appear - Garp uses his technique called Genkotsu Meteor / Meteor Fist where he throws a cannonball at an enemy ship - When entering the Baratie their outfits are from color spread: Luffy’s is from Ch.28, Usopp’s is from Volume 8 special, & Nami is wearing her outfit based on her Baratie arc & Ch.50 (minus the letters “WC”) which notice that the circles on her skirt con contain money like a pocket - Once they enter notice the paintings on the wall references Gaimon on the Island of Rare Animals, Sabaody, aGiant King Squid, a Sea Beasts from Fishman Island, Foolshout Island (Koala’s birthplace), & Kyuka Island - Sanji’s dish that he made is made of Elephant Bulefin Tuna which is the same dish from Sanji’s Cookbook & the fish that he buys in Lougetown that originates from the South Blue, & if you look on the kitchen wall references species from the One Piece world like a dinosaur & the panda shark - Sanji mentions Ithurzburger Stein a drink from Micqueot in the North Blue that Fullbody mentions when he ask for the wine from Sanji in the manga / anime, but then with the Straw Hats he mentions Umeshu a wine that Kureha drinks - Luffy ordering milk is a reference to Ch.1 when after Shanks gave him milk he was mock for being a kid - Koby just like Nami in Ep.1 mentions 77th Branch which is lead by Pudding Pudding - Notice that on the cannon ball Krieg shoots at Mihawk has his Jolly Roger, & after his defeat you can see another named member behind him named Pearl “the Invincible Shield” - The large drink that Usopp had notice it had Sea Kings painted on it - During the Ending Credits you can see that they have added the Baratie located in the Sambas Region

Like what was mentioned about filler episodes in the anime I have paused at episode 1000 due to that. On another note, can't wait to see what they do for Chopper ( my favorite crew member).

Ngl, Zeff's stache is just *chefskiss* . No pun intended. Need more smoking Sanji tho. All great chef's are chainsmokers. He took one drag LOL.

Barati-e Remembee when zeef see first sanji wanted poster, one of zeef crew call it barati-e.

I love this adaptation. After watching it several times now

The bluefin Tuna is also in sanji cookbook as a recipe ❤

Luffy leaves a an IOU after stealing ramen in his flashback after marineford, it just said "Treasure tab -Luffy." He also eats at Makino's bar under his treasure tab, which she seems to allow.

I love the buggy wanted picture in live action.

its awesome that zaff's actor is the same guy who voiced cod4 gaz and ghost from mw2

Every time you guys tear up, I'm like 'Yup, me too, man.'

It's impossible to do 1 for 1 to it. so what they have done is brilliant Love this so much! they have the mannerisms done to the point! love the casting! made me want to re-watch the anime XD

This FEEELS like One Piece. That's why it's so good. EDIT: thanks guys. Great to enjoy this with you, you guys are true fans. 34:10 exactly. There's no point in holding back emotion in the face of beauty.

I grew up with One Piece. Since when? Since the first manga was brought over here in English. Volume 1, back in high school, with Volume 2 not yet on shelves. I was waiting week to week for the next episode, when we were barely at episode 10. I have some small issues here and there with the live action, but overall I think they did a magnificent job with it and the changes were done intelligently.
