Straw Hat Episode 521+522

end of arc!

Straw Hat Episode 521+522

Comments

One of the few times the english dub beats the japanese sub: when Sanji is turned to stone after seeing Hancock, Usopp's english VA says, "He's hard as a rock!" And I was like, "I bet he is!"

Manic Dman

My favorite moment in OP even till this day just because of the weight it holds will always be Luffy dodging three beams of light like light work.

GrimPitbull

I don't think it has anything to do with potency. Animators just started using the black thing to make it easier for viewers to understand armament haki is being used.

Damien Dark

It cannot be understated what it must mean to all who saw Luffy proclaim that he would be the King of the Pirates to the actual First Mate of the first King. That holds *weight*. And then the endorsement shortly after. Imagine what people with power must be thinking at that point. haha

Xanis

I love how Sentomaru actually has a little bit of respect for Luffy and the Straw Hats for not being the typical pirate scum

Ztllain

I DID NOT SEE YOUR VID ON YT... LMAO. Talk about timing! Carry on!

Diane Edmonds

Hehe yaaaay! It's a whole new world here! I am curious if you'll ever include/watch the openings again, cuz they really are part of the experience with watching OP. Even for all the 'spoilers' people complain about, most are only obvious on re-watch or if your specifically stopping to pic through them... plus you already watched most of them. I just love the openings so much and wish the were appreciated more! The last opening for pre-timeskip is just πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ And they only get more fun now that you know the characters! Have a lovely time!

Diane Edmonds

Check out nissin x one piece, there are 4 parts to this.

Billy Lo

Did the haikyuu reactions never happen, or are they still in the woodworks

Aidan

Episode 0 before continuing pls

Chico4ezz

We set out for Fishman Island when we left water 7.

GaimeGuy

Didn't Oda say that it's black, so the audience knows when it's used?

tm4117

The recaps and the reaction shots slow down new content per-episode drastically, to the point Alicia would have to watch 3 episodes in one upload to keep up with the current runtime we have on uploads. The flashbacks are insanely varrying in quality and necessity, and their spread is not well executed. There is a bunch of absolutely useless characters who could've been completely cut and nothing of real substence would've been lost (pink hair and baby clothes being the worst offenders), thereby shortening the overlong arc. One can sit through Skypiea and while it can be a bit bothersome its over pretty quickly, Dressrosa drags on and on and on, if it wasn't for the insanely hype finale of the arc it'd be equal to Skypiea in terms of quality imho

Lewd Angel

Powerscalers in anime be on some diffirent type of drug fr

Lewd Angel

That is incorrect the black coating is just there now since oda was hiding it before

Icy

Yep, I'm guessing you watched the Sanji vs Rock Lee death battle

KingofYokai

Quick guide to armament haki (2): If the armament becomes very potent and uses more haki it will have this shiny black coating for greater power. Just because someone doesn’t have the black coating doesn’t necessarily mean there isn’t any haki being used nor is haki β€œinvisible” to those who don’t have it.

Siggy

Quick Guide to Armament Haki: At a basic level it will appear invisible, gives a boost in defense and offense, allows for users to touch logia power holders without the black coating.

Siggy

People figure it out that Luffy would have had to move 13x the speed of light to dodge that

Icy

Every dub does it

Matt Granger

Observation Haki nothing, he didn't even move until WELL after those lasers were fired. Base Luffy is FTL.

KingofYokai

The recaps are long af, don't get me wrong, but we skip recaps, so it doesn't count. The flashbacks in that arc are some of the best flash backs in the entire series, and no matter how many times we see "Redacted"'s flash back, it's new information every time. The arc also features one of the best written villains in the story and "spoiler surprise surprise reveal". It's also a more powerful setup for future arcs vs skypiea which only gives minor hints, (and possibly has something later, but that's just speculation). It's almost 3 times as long as skypiea but has 10 times more content. You cannot say it's paced worse than skypiea. I dropped one piece for months because of skypiea 3 separate times while I sat waiting for weekly releases for dressrosa. There's 3 or 4 memorable parts in skypiea while there's so many iconic moments in dressrosa and some could be called legendary. I can go on, but if I go into any further detail, we're hitting spoilers, I already had to censor some parts

Gurth-Quake

I disagree, Skypiea had a lot of issues on spending time on useless scenes but NOTHING beats Dressrosa when it comes to pacing issues, the constant flashbacks, the recaps, the reaction shots, its Luffy being stuck in a snake x100

Lewd Angel

When we have op binge stream

Gippstop

Yo! Im new here, when does she post more episodes?

tapeter

LETS GO FISH MAN ISLAND ARC πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Hassan Ali

and now it's the start of slow piece lol

Danny

And now, to wait for the horror arc as Alicia gets to watch them dive deep, deep under the sea!

Seraphem

oh I LOVE these 2 episodes!

Chris White

Pain Piece is OVEEERRRRRRR

Lexi

Tbf, the arcs become a lot more dense.

TurtleKungFu

Time for the big boy arcs. If you look at it, we're almost half way caught up, but we're only 6 arcs behind not counting the one the show is currently on. That's averaging 100 episodes per arc. Pacing may not be the best, but none of these arcs pace worse than skypiea, so we're good.

Gurth-Quake

It took the combined effort of the entire crew just to take one of those robots down. At the end they were barely on their feet. Now each one can destroy a robot no sweat. That is a pretty good life lesson for what training can actually do.

YukoValis

LETS GO THE HYPEST EPISODE BACK WHEN IT 1ST CAME OUT WE WAITED 2 YEARS FOR IT

Baltierrian22

Nah he a goat

Lewd Angel

Yup, he spent 18 months with Rayleigh training, and 6 months alone on the island, meanwhile he only spent 9 months with his crew

Lewd Angel

thyme skeep

Yagi di Hoshi

Let's go to fishman island!!

Gildarts1#fan

pure joy and excitement i cannot wait! Yohohohoho

james blaire

I can't remember if they did the exact same switch-ups, but the dub also had all the VAs scrambled with the fake Straw Hats

TheRoguelock

right after the time skip is definitely just the strawhats flexing on everybody

Cole Savoie

This a big ol spoiler dude you should delete this.

Kobalt Reaver

Thanks for posting this! I didn’t even notice this the first time I watched this, but after Alicia mentioned fake Usopp being voiced by Franky’s VA I started suspecting this might be the case.

BakaSama

I love how it show's how sad Perona was when Zoro was leaving. I love her a lot hahaha

Kayden

that's amazing

"Not gonna spoil the least important detail about this major spoiler I'm giving you" Ffs Don't spoil ANYTHING Just like some of my friends, "it's not an important spoiler" or "it doesn't matter if you know now" Bitch, you don't get to decide how other people enjoy a story

Shatol Darmelo

If you guys wanna talk about future stuff, talk about it in the one piece section in the discord

Mgdoe

DUDE. Don't spoil AT ALL. You get permanent banned for doing so. You KNOW this.

Adam

She probably had a ghost watch him 24/7 so whenever he started going the wrong way instant depression

Trevor Appel

ill say this, the fake staw hats were voiced by each other Sanji = fake luffy Chopper = fake nami Franky = Fake soge king Brook = Fake Franky Ussop = Fake zoro Nami = Fake Robin Luffy = Fake chopper Zoro = Fake sanji

Elunenai

The fact that Perona was able to drag Zoro all the way to Sabaody is nothing short of a miracle. It is frankly one of the most impressive feats in the entire series.

Ebofa

After being apart for so long, it was nothing less than awe-inspiring to see all the Straw Hats reunited after so long. Also, this was the first time I ever felt bad for the marines, depression is an enemy I know too well, and I wouldn’t want anyone to face.

Sam Marsh

Spoiler Alert!!! Spoiler Alert!!! Please for the love of god delete!!!

Sam Marsh

"I'm not going to spoil but here is a spoiler." gtfo.

Okoga

9:15 We finally found Waldo. Now that we know where he is, he will answer for many crimes.

Minibom22

what about Whole Cake Sanji?

Peach

WE GO!!!

Matthew Martin

Report this. Ban please.

DaniDeFig

SPOILER UP THERE. yeah don't spoil things please.

YukoValis

careful post timeskip arcs are definitely NOT fixing the pacing tho lol

Froze

27:42 If she didn't Zoro never would have made it to the Archipelago

Trevor Appel

I'm just here to comment this, Voldo is my favorite in soul Calibur. He was my number one that I used every time. Hello I'm back again, the reason Rayleigh is attached to Luffy so much is because he spent a year and a half with him. Remember his crew only spent what 4 or 5 months with him. Imagine how much of an effect he would have on somebody who spent a year and a half with him.

UndeadNovaKing 0

That's still a spoiler. Stop spoiling this stuff, she hates it

Peach

Alicia, I'm not going to spoil the how, but Jimbei is the new Straw Hat that Oda will be keeping off of his official position of helmsmen for a good while. So just remember this proverb till Oda finally sets Jimbei down: "Distance makes the heart grow fonder."

De L

Return to Sabaody Archipelago arc has ended. Fishman Island arc has begun. Together they form the Fishman Island Saga.

Alexander Saldivar

Question: How is the version sung by the "Fake" Strawhats different than the version sung by the "Real" Strawhats, considering that they have the same set of voice actors?

Shank Mugen

Anyone else get kinda weepy when their captain declared he's gonna be King of the Pirates like that? :') anyway farewell Pain Piece we're back and better then ever!! Onwards!!

Koirby

Luffy has had many badass moments, but I think him dodging the lasers was top tier one of the best. Just so cool.

YukoValis

Can't wait for Fishman island! Of course there are other things I'm looking forward to in the future,but seeing the goat Jimbei again is exciting!

BewearKing64

All mentors or friends each member made during these 2 years coming to help them escape is chefs kiss! Kinda had hoped Perona would had joined Straw Hats for little time, but her ability would be too strong as support against opponents and gathering intelligence by moving through walls and such.

Kampela

God I hate post timeskip Sanji 😭🀣

T

Holy shit it's One Piece time

Thatonefriend42

Now onto the New World also the arcs are going to be longer and less of them instead of how the first half of the story was.

Icy

You and your niece should really cosplay as Robin and chopper lol

Ryan Searle

Yeeeeaaahhhh... The first time it was "next" was after Water 7. For week-to-week Anime & Manga, the wait was *Years*

DaniDeFig

- Chopper's little 'Tihi' was far too cute <3 - Yeah, Sanji caveman-speaking at Zoro was crazy disrespectful xD - Fake Zoro tweaking harder and harder each time we cut back is a great gag! - Yeeeaaahhh Nephew unmasking the fake Luffy with one lazy whack is probably why I actually like the guy ^^' - We're all proud you held the "Amogus!" jokes in until now. - Luffy One-shottign a Pacifista, after the lat fight with them being SEARED into our minds with trauma, is SOOOOO satisfying. Definitely an iconic moment. So glad you got here! - Yeah Oda did a FANTASTIC job on Perona's redesign. Super appreciated after we got to know her better, and care about her character. - Boa using her power and status to *physically* block the Navy, is one of my favourite scenes. All while being 'in character', as an abrasive spoiled brat. - In fact, seeing the friends we made along the way step up and fight the Navy, is one of my favourite things from this arc. - Alicia, you getting excited when you realized you can see Jimbei again just made my day xD

DaniDeFig

next stop Fishman Island!!! for real this time!!!

nick

Yes, and technically, Luffy spent more time with Rayleigh than with his crew. (At least one full year, while the journey was time-wise just a few months.)

Chamoun101

Yeah. Coming back from watching it now. I was gonna add that to the comment... If you pay close attention there are definitely some spoilers there.

rando

its wild to think that the timeskip was longer then the time that they traveled together pretimeskip

MajorGlua

If you mean the fan animation, then there is heavy spoilers for post timeskip in there, so she probably shouldnt watch

Lucas_Oreki

Man one of my favorite couple of episodes. After how defeated the whole crew was when we were here last really really needed that.

Bj Howe

A recent mini-wish of mine came true: Getting to see you watch the Post-Tineskip Arc in one sitting! :D Weirdly enough I even caught almost all of it live? ^^' Finishing the last bit now, as I had to walk away to do some IRL stuff :) SO great to see you this excited about One Piece again! Been looking forward to your reaction to the Post-Timeskip designs & upgrades.

DaniDeFig

Alicia there's a version of "We Are" that's sung by the fake Straw Hats. There's also a video of that on YouTube. You should watch that.
