USOPP FIGHTS LUFFY FOR MERRY.. THIS WAS SO PAINFUL!! | One Piece Episode 236 Reaction & Discussion 

☹☹😭😭🚢💔

Water 7 was basically Oda flexing his writing skills. From the characters, conflicts, plot points, world building, and twists and turns, everything was perfection.

How many times you wanna watch this episode: yes How many times you wanna receive emotional damage: yes

Seeing Luffy like that at the end gets me everytime

The most painful thing is, Merry has to watch this fight :")

“Don’t lose yourself. If you waver who can we trust in.” Zoro my vice-captain❤️

when luffy cries, I just cannot hold anymore

The first few times I watched this episode I was frustrated with Usopp because he kept insisting that Merry can be fixed while at the same time assuming that replacing Merry was an easy decision for Luffy to make. When it really wasn’t. The first few times and for a long time, I did not understand why Usopp was being stubborn. I was frustrated with how he was adamant about fixing Merry. In the past, I viewed Usopp’s retaliation as very negative. That Luffy as the captain did not deserve to be treated with disrespect. Before, I had viewed Usopp as a crewmember who was stubborn and did not repect Luffy and that all of “that” was the point of the fight. HOWEVER, it wasn’t until I recently rewatched this arc that I realized how wrong I was at this one dimensional judgment (fastforward to say….700 episodes later, me growing up, etc. rewatched early OP during the pandemic). I kept asking what point Oda was trying to make with this debacle? It wasn’t until I really looked at the characters themselves and not the plot to understand the conflict. You see, all this time, Usopp has been showing insecurities. Usopp is the person who fixes Merry but is not a trained shipwright himself. Usopp is their sharpshooter but has been showing insecurities as being one of the weaker members of the crew: “I’ve been thinking about this for a while. I’ve been thinking that I can’t keep up with your monstrous strength.” This insecurity was even more fueled by Merry being unfixable, unable to sail, and therefore have no more purpose for the crew. Usopp’s insecurity has now projected unto the Merry. His thoughts that he no longer has a purpose have heightened to another level and were finally validated with Luffy’s stupid blunder….: “Fine! If you dislike the decisions that I make that much, then you can go ahead and get off this-” And what really got me after the rewatch was that part about Sanji kicking Luffy before he was able to finish the sentence. At this point, Luffy was full of anger so I’m glad Sanji did what he did but even then it was too late. Usopp heard and already knew. I’m going to go off on a tangent but this part and a few moments later really showed how much Sanji’s character is rooted in kindness all this time. You see, Sanji understands how Usopp feels. Sanji’s empathy towards Usopp is shown time and time again later….First when Sanji (unnecessarily) starts arguing with Zoro saying if only Zoro injured Franky Family, then Usopp would have won against them.: “Why did you not fight Franky family? If you had, then Usopp wouldn’t have been attacked and felt guilty.” And the second show of Sanji’s empathy was when he stops Chopper from treating Usopp’s wounds after the Luffy n Usopp fight saying that on top of losing, being pitied is the worst.: “Imagine how much suffering ‘careless kindness’ can cause the loser.”…. Yes, Sanji was concerned about the crew (his found family) slowly falling apart and was scared of that; but he was ALSO mostly empathetic towards Usopp yet calculating how each of the crew’s (mostly Luffy’s) actions can culminate to the complete breakup of the crew. There was so much going on within the characters in these two episodes. These were just my observations from Usopp and Sanji as characters. All this time, Luffy was discovering what it TRULY means to be a captain. Nami and Chopper are so affected that all they can do is cry and feel broken. Meanwhile, Zoro all this time has remained strong for everyone- a necessary pillar that their crew needs. I want to get more into all of them but there are so many character analysis videos out there from talented OP creators. I guess this is now my cue to watch those.

This freaking arc has so much feels. And they are still just easing us in and building up even at this.

zoro level headed is really something. "this is what it means to be captain, right?"

This fight hurts every time

5:09 her face 😭

i remember the first time i watched this i was crying but its still an awesome moment to see how far usopp was willing to go for merry usopp became one of my favorite characters after this

I love you guys reaction they are so pure and speak about it with passion ❤

In this arc I really can see sanji kindness

When Ussop got to know about who's the Main character here.🤣

Ayooo who's cutting up onions in here??

Great way to start the new year, amazing reaction. I always shed a few tears when I watch this episode

Usopp is not weak per se, people tend to forget the fact that he's the crew's sniper. Snipers dont necessarily engage in close quarter combats, which have been the majority of fights in OP. But later on in this arc, he'll have his spotlight

Your channel is so amazing, your reaction is so good keep it up

This is why I love One Piece. They have the balls to tell real and compelling stories. Yes, it's tough to watch but it would be boring if it was Sesame Street all the time

In this episode, oda proves that Usopp is brave and has unique fighting power and he is a genius in the Mugiwara crew

Lmao her face when he said the episode went by quick

Don't worry guys we got someone who will replace Usopp, a Legendary masked character will soon make an appearance.

One of the saddest moments in OP.

Damn, this fight never ceases to gut-punch me in the feels, whether in manga or anime form. It really feels like the crew is breaking apart with all this drama..... 😢

my new fave channel to watch... i hope many reaction channels starts watching One Piece.

This arc is one if the turning points in this story, the tone starts to get more and more serious. 🐏

Only One Piece could make me cry over a fucking boat

yep this hurts more

My favorite fight in the entire series made all the better for the emotional damage .

At the time in this story, Oda commented. Oda『One less friend during this story.』

and they say this is "just an anime"

no matter how many time you re watch this, it will alasy be sad

This arc and following one made me a fan of OP.

The feels.

well, yeah he is still the captain and has to make the decisions, and that was the problem, an argument with someone else from the crew, hadn't been that escalating

This eps never easy to watch. But so important for the straw hats

9:21

One Piece = Emotions unleashed💔

Dang, Jackie is so sweet today 😂😂

usopp says he is a coward but even so he challenged the strongest of the gang to a duel and managed to be at the level even though he could not win

Great character maturity from zoro, luffy, sanji and ussop

The best and worst fight in the series! I cry every time 😛

This episode is always tough to watch Poor devi 💔

Guys do watch this full masterpiece anime ❤️👍

I love your reaction One piece I would have also liked to see the reactions at arlong park etc

Thanks for the reaction

I Love it when Zoro Claims Vice Captain authority

Its ok to cry about this... you going to cry more 😔😂

when this arc became a live action, what will it be like?

If I ever want to snotty-nose-wet-shirt cry, I just put this episode on 😂😅

I was waiting for ghiss b4 i sleep

love your reaction..i watch a lot of reactors for this episode..and i, too, still gets teary when luffy is crying and zoro is telling him that thats how to be captain, and if he waver, who can they rely on..such big words from zoro..be ready with everything thats coming..there's a lot more of this emotional episodes going forward..one particularly is very soon for you..oooooh..

I'm crying to 😭😭

I remember just watching a video recently that said, actually X was right here and Y was wrong, and it was made super convincingly. That really got me thinking, damn this was such a good storyline with usopp fighting this duel and everything.

A hero with a cape is about to emerge 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love her! She gets it 🫶🏽

Zoro and Sanji speeches after the fight are wonderful, about not pity with the loser because you make things worst and the toughness of being a captain, in particular the future pirate king

And that people is the one piece effect and it gets even better

I can't wait for you guys to get to Whole Cake Island... Once you are there, you will understand why.

Oda ....it's a great story. ☠️😭😂😭😂😭😂😭

Luffy's "this is really tough" and then cry hits harder everytime i watched it

When i see marry crying i broked into pieces 😭

I hope 2 episode per day😁👍

deviさんにもらい泣きしてしまう😢

water seven is best arc..😭

The real merry is close guys 247

rip usopp

Miss the Foxy arc yet?

ゾロのルフィに対する忠誠心からくる言葉、メリーの涙、ウソップの考慮された自分らしい闘い方、見たことのないルフィの涙、、、😿😿😿 メリーは、自分のために皆が喧嘩しているのを見るの辛いよね😿

Emotional Damage

Ye

If luffy cries we’re the ones are hurt more😢

👍😭👍

Is not the end because merry is fix the fight

ussop who doesn't respect his captain.... this is the lowest point of his character...

If this is really hard to watch, wait until that one other duel far in the future, on eps 8**, that one hurts so so bad

Luffy lost his smile

🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧

*The only odd part about this is how Nami assumes Luffy should apologise… Like for what? Because he stated the truth about the Going Merry being done? I agree Luffy has many moments he needs to apologise for, but this conflict is completely Usopp’s fault.*

Zoro tak perna berkhianat ke luffy

Then Sogeking was born

Zoro the 🐐

Warning, episode 312 is gonna hit HARD.

Hate Usopp as a character. The only time he fights serious is against his own crew. He is a pathetic loser.

luffy said this is really tough.. hit different. 🥲

this is just beginning guys 🥲
