Ummm Buggy's Hot?!? | One Piece Live Action Ep 1x2 Reaction & Review | Netflix 

Jeff Ward completely delivered as Buggy. Truly an astounding performance.

"Möwe" the word on Axhand Morgans chin is the German word for seagull. I always assumed it's just a nod to the marines logo with the seagull lol

The TL;DR answer to the extremely good question Clarus asked regarding how devil fruits have names if each one is unique is that they respawn after the user dies. If a devil fruit has been cataloged, that means it's been seen before at some point.

The neon sign was an astute observation. Fun fact, Oda never considered whether the world had electricity or not until the live action creators asked him whether the world had electricity. Something to keep in mind when reading/watching the story.

Clarus is totally correct that the tiny transponder snails are baby snails =) It's been confirmed that the snails don't mind being tamed since they get plenty of food. And the modifications are harmless, any attachments can be removed and the snails returned to the wild. (Maybe not the ones that have been pets since they were babies though 🤔)

This world kind of makes sense because of the plot. It’s an adventure story where the main characters don’t know the world even though they’ve lived in it. And the characters from each island also don’t know much about the world because of the sea beasts, dangers of piracy, and the unpredictability of the world. It allows Oda to play around as much as he wants. At the same time, the lack of access for citizens or civilians gives the military or pirates a lot of power. They can control trade, access, or information. A lot of people I’ve seen have been confused about the map they’re looking for, but if you live in a world that lacks information or access, something like a map is super valuable.

"They can only be cellphones when they are young enough" you know it makes sense 😂

7:25 the way she is terrified and shocked while he is laughing in joy.. ... Yup

The dynamic of someone who's a massive fan showing the series to a total newcomer is really great. 90% of the comments I would leave to help explain things are handled by you in the video, and I get to see the reactions to my answers/explanations right away. Also the dichotomy between your facial expressions for big important moments is comedy gold.

Funny you mentioned Gerard Butler, actor who is playing Garp was also in the movie 300. He was playing the role of Army Captain in that movie.

the frames of frozen reactions at 7:18 Nerdy that knows and Clarus that doesn't! amazing!

Buggy’s ability reveal is why my favorite reactions have someone that knows what’s coming and someone with no clue

16:25 "Möwe" just means seagull in german. I think the marine is generally associated with seagulls since a high up marine wears a seagull hat, also the marine logo is a somewhat stylized seagull above two connected crescents

Jeff ward in agents of shield is amazing , and the "dont u forget about me" cover he did was too and yes hes hot lol

Your little look at the camera when they opened the safe was wonderful, Nerdy. You're right that they change a lot of details to tell their own version of the story, but I also love that they clearly choose to keep certain moments. Especially the flashback in this episode has some clearly drawn shots that you noticed. I love this version of Buggy. He's intimidating and they (of course) go more Dark Knight than the original does. But they don't forget to make him pathetic, which is very important for Buggy. Also, the Japanese version uses the original voice actors, and it's so much fun. The scene with Buggy is especially good.

The actor that plays Garp was in 300 with Gerald Butler 😂.

Buggy is my favorite one piece character, and this actor really nailed him and did Buggy Justice

After seeing how far Buggy and Luffy have gone in the manga (in terms of socio-political importance and powerscaling), it is really cool rewatching their "humble beginnings" now in live action.

7:20 Omg I adore it so much how on one side, we have absolute terror as Buggy's head flies off, and on the other side, barely contained glee 🤣🤣 The knowledge really makes the difference, haha.

On the fruit naming thing. Much, much later in the anime/manga than you've seen, it's revealed that there is actually a devil fruit enciclopedia! It's very rare though and not every fruit is on it, but apparently it is kinda known that some fruits names are totally common knowledge.

they actually give the bartenders name, in episode 1 though, and it's a busy scene, so it's easy to miss if you don't know it already - she is called Makino ( "Makino, got a mob? " ) there were a couple of scenes when your reactions contrast was hilarious .... and the Goldfish reference and the resulting joy / confusion especially XD

Möwe is the german word for Seagull. Always thought thats where it came from

Garp was actually in the movie "300" with Gerard Butler he was the general 😁

7:59 So in the world of One Piece, there exists a Devil Fruit Encyclopedia which has recorded most Devil Fruits. As well, the user learns the name of the fruit as soon as they eat it.

Its a Shellphone! unique to the live action version, but a clever addition.

I think the point about the tent is that shows shouldn't be embarrassed by their genre or world or tropes. This adaptation clearly isn't, and leans into everything rather than being ashamed of it or trying to tone it down, and as a result it produces a compelling viewing experience.

a major reason the live action is so good is because oda, the creator of one piece, approved everything himself. the directors only kept stuff oda liked so that itd flow good and make sense

I don't think Kid Luffy was trying to imitate Iñaki's accent. Also, while not going into spoilery details, there's a few characters from which Luffy could've picked up the accent and I really hope they do take that into account when casting for them. It would have no effect on the storyline whatsoever and it would just make it that little quirk more interesting in the LA show.

The actor for Garp was in 300 with Gerard Butler. He was also the movie Troy in 04, and 2010s Clash of the Titans.

Garp reminds you of Gerard Butler? That’s the guy that plays his second in command in 300 😊 Amazing actor!

In majority of cases when people eat devil fruit they don't know what effect they get (with few exceptions). So they eat it, watch an effect and THEN make a name to devil fruit they eated.

YUP, LOL - literally the strike of the year 2000 is when the author of JoJo's put in the very first female protagonist of the series as soon as he was able to.

It's funny that you said Garp reminds you of Gerard Butler. Most people haven't mentioned or realized that the actor played the older Spartan in the army with King Leonidis, who Gerard Butler played in the movie 300.

My wife can enjoy sci-fi or fantasy, but often has trouble when they become ungrounded, but because (I think) the actors take their roles so seriously, she's really been enjoying One Piece.

E2 06:38 buggy knows shanks, chop chop df, Koby tells the truth to garp 10:00 Shanks to the rescue 12:00 sea king, Zoro-Luffy freed, Morgans captured 17:15 Strawhat passing moment

As for how they name devil fruits: each fruit looks unique and after the user dies it reappears. So if a fruit is known, it is easy to name. But it also leaves fruits with unknown effects, yet identifyable as devil fruits.

Clarus actually smiled when Shanks and the boys were stomping the other pirates. Then she beams at Zoro Zoroing.

Your reactions are truly a delight to watch! Jeff Ward as Buggy was a wonderful surprise for me when I watched the LA for the first time: such amazing casting and performance. And, you're right, it's because he's playing it straight. He, as the character is taking himself 100% seriously and so when he fumbles and does something silly, like punching the glass cage, it's hilarious but still feels real, like he's a person who sometimes does dumb things (like we all do). And despite his fumbling he does come across as a seasoned pirate. Love that you caught Cho Cho's cameo. There's also a few blink-and-you-miss-it references to Ritchie the lion in there as well. I just wish we'd gotten to see more of Buggy interacting with his crew -- Moji cringing away from Buggy made me sad. I understand why we didn't, but Buggy's crew was a bit unique in the East Blue in that his crew genuinely loved their captain and their respect didn't come from being terrified of him. There's one other crew that we meet in the East Blue that isn't all-out terrified of their captain, but the dynamic there is very different and... complicated in ways we don't find out until much, much later.

There is an enzyclopiedia of devil fruits in the one piece world and from what i understood you can learn the name of your fruit with what it does once you ate it by compairing to the book

We don't know much about Devil Fruits in the manga cannon, so I always thought of the possibility that that line that Makino said about making a deal with the ocean might be canonical.

The Bartender is Makino, shanks mentions it while asking for a mop. The lack of female characters is obviously noticeable and I think comes from 2 main aspects. 1. As you mentioned 90's show targeted at young boys, they tend to prefer male characters. 2. It's a fighting show and it's not a good look to have your male cast beating up women constantly. So most female fights end up with them beating the guys or they fight other women.

Yes, a warm hug. That's the perfect description of how one piece makes me feel. And I liked how you slipped the gold fish in there😉. By the way they're called telepathic snails 🖖😎👍

Jeff Ward was such an awesome Buggy, one of the best perf in the show😃 Morgan getting punished like that in the LA was a bit meh for me, LA Morgan wasn't nearly as bad as anime Morgan. It's like they just punished him for losing against a pirate here, while in the anime he was actually terrorizing citizens and marines alike.

Funny you say that. The actor who played Garp was in the movie "300."

Turned on my notifications for episode 2 just to search for it instead loving yalls reactions🎉

Möwe German for "seagull"🤣

i LOVE that you LOVE it. one piece bros we cant stop winning can we

There were certain parts of the internet that were very interested in Buggy when this aired.

I’ll be very interested in your take on the next two episodes. From what I have seen people who know the story and those who don’t rate them very differently.

MOWE is German for “seagull” and that is the symbol for the marines.

The guy playing Buggy was Also on agent's of shield...Fitz Simmons Jr...

The eater of a devil fruit learns it’s name when they eat it.

The live action was my first introduction to one piece (the art style never really attracted me) so hearing your insight in how things are changed in adapting is fun!

2:52 Throat Goat Luffy! the community has kindly bestowed upon him

I believe the cannon ball full of sleeping gas was the buggy ball. The smoke bomb Buggy used to knock Luffy out looks just like one.

The fruit's all regenerate after the users have died. So most likely they've all been used at least once and have been given a name.

Möwe = German for "seagull". Seagull is the symbol for the Marines. I like that Mowe has like two seagulls with "M" and "W".

I was looking up Devil Fruit for reasons a few months ago, and the wiki said that anyone who eats a fruit immediately knows what its name is. Buggy IS amazing. Easily my favorite character in this show.

The reason people know about the names of the Devil fruits is thanks to the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and Möwe ( wich is written on Captain Morgans's metal chin ) is German for Seagull. Also Fun Fact: Oda was a massive fan of Game of thrones.

I think they say there is an encyclopedia of all the known devil fruits in the anime.

She hit the nose on the head! Swords are just sharp sticks! Almost every weapon before guns is just a variation of stick!!! ALL HAIL STICK, TEMPLATE OF ALL WEAPONS.

Cant wait for the rest, especially the last 4

16:23 mowe is German for seagull, which is the emblem of the Marines

Just to make a small correction on the devil fruit power. Its only seawater that will take away both their strength AND power. Any other water is usually fine. So they can take showers and baths and be fine as long as it isn't seawater. That's why if you see a devil fruit eater drenched in seawater they are practically crawling on the ground (the scene where Luffy was crawling towards the hat, and buggy to the map). Just thought i would make that part clear! Love your channel. Ps: biceping should totally be a word lol

The structure of the show is two episode arcs, every show has an arc and every two shows is a bigger arc and then the entire season arc, it’s pretty brilliantly structured

Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤ So glad you are enjoying the show ❤

The woman bartender name is Makino

The emotions in this live action is epic. ❤❤❤

i could see in her face processing, "wait, what? goldfish?", yeah one piece is crazy like that, but also people go sail because they need to, or else they get stuck in a small island for all their lives, and that creates problems, population grow, and islands are not enough to sustain a high population, they need to leave, gather resources, also there are insanely strong people in that world.

Funny you said it reminded you of Gerard Butler, the Actor who played Garp was The Captain in 300 along side Gerard.

One of the BEST Reviews I seen on One Piece Live Action!

Fun fact: the Actor who plays Garp was in 300 with Gerard Butler. He was in a couple off historic movies. Troy as well.

The earpod snail phone could be a nod to the baby snail phone that is place on the arm like a bracelet.

Amazing reaction. Thanks for your input

Really enjoying these reactions. Never got into the anime, my major problem was the trudging pacing. The live action really fixes that and blows me away in ll other aspects too.

The contrasting reactions at 7:20 are great

"Möwe" is german for "seagull". As to WHY Morgan has that written on his chin i have no idea xD

He (Garp) probably reminds you of Gerard Buttler, because he acted along side him in the movie 300. He played the Captain of the Spartans, (leonidas/buttlers right hand man)

1:55 we are 2 mins in and my favorite thing is still Nerdy Laughing!!!!!! lol

7:59 I might be bullshittin here but I think sometime in the anime somebody mentions you learn the name of the fruit when you eat it but all that's known before is the class it belongs to.

I need the rest of the season now

Never watched the Anime, knew nothing about it but the name, the live action has been a lot of fun to watch

Sea water sepcifically. Not any water. And no he doesnt have to be submerged for it to partially sap his power.

Any Scottish accent... omg is that Gérard Butler??😂😂😂😂

3:39 it's like taking steroids: you'll have big muscles, but troubles down there

On the fruit names, the eater of the Devil fruit will innately know the name of the fruit when they eat it

Maui stands for seagull i belive its been a while since i read the first tankaban

The snail buds are live action original

Mowe is German for seagull, the symbol of the marines.

Garp was in 300 too. A spartan. The one whose son died I think.

As far as story goes, I think they did a great job. That said, the way they tell it, while you will know the general story since you've watched past what the LA covers. the LA will spoil some stuff for you in the future.

I don't think the "cell phone" den den mushi change things, they're just a tinier version of the baby den den mushi from the manga/anime. They probably did that so that they don't always have to animate the baby ones, you just have a prop earpiece to use. I try not to think about how it would feel to use one, thought they do look extremely adorable XD

I flashily reached semantic satiation

Remember, One Piece's world is its world, not our world. So neon sign in a pirate era is okay😂😂

The actor that plays Luffy's grandfather what's in the movie 300

Yes this, deserves the title 'Adaptation'. Bless it.

Garp was Gerard Butlers 2nd in Command in the movie 300!! Both badasses 🤘🏼

I still wonder if the cel.. shellphone was an intentional pun or just a lucky coincidence.

How do you feel about them restarting the anime for Netflix I think it’s fine to get an update on the animation.

Wow, ur such a power couple, i subbed instantly. For One Piece for now. ^^ Nice reaction.
