Straw Hat Episode 515+516

finale of pretime skip

Comments

Why throughout the entire series is the Dbz fans in chat always emoting hints

Justin

37:40 That elephant sensed that Rayleigh was about to explain something, and charged in to make sure he couldn't finish his sentence.

Liesmith

"Ohhhh for Sum-boodyyyy!" lulz xD

Tea N Honey

I think people expected you to connect that Kobi and the little girl from Skypia were going through the same kinda trauma during their respective battles because they both have their Observation Haki, or as the Skypians call it, Mantra, activated.

Eric Keatts

I’m a grown ass man and how effortlessly this show makes me a blubbering bitch in .25 seconds is hilarious to me

Nick

it's crazy getting here. I remeber watching you getting to reverse mountain, and that feels like years ago. I am having so much fun re enjoying this treasure wiht you

Gavin Thomas

I am caught up 100% in the manga and my statement still stands.

Okoga

There's nothing saying that Oda won't have fights in the future with non-haki users at some point! Remember that in... It happens later! No spoilers, but it does happen later!!

Shrapnel

Did Aliciaever make the connection that Mantra on Skypiea was Haki?

Joel Sasmad

I always kinda had to ask why Boa couldn't be the one to train Luffy? Like she knows about Haki and has Conquerors Haki.

Joel Sasmad

incase of confusion - Conquers is the super rare 1 in a million or w/e , when it comes to the other types tho ANYONE can learn and improve it

Easy Mode - A.I

love the redneck accent

Just FYI, Pterosaurs, the group to which Pterodactyls belongs aren't actually dinosaurs. They're also arkosaurs, the group that includes crocodiles and dinosaurs(including birds), and more closely related to the common ancestor of dinosaurs as we define dinosaurs, but they are a distinct group. That being said they were contemporaries of the non-avian dinosaurs, and seem to have gone extinct in the K-T mass extinction event same as the non-avian dinosaurs. The other creature in frame with the pterosaur was actually a dinosaur, something akin to an archaeopteryx, a very basal bird ancestor, from before birds evolved to have beaks instead of snouts. Archaeopteryx, the first major fossil of which was found in germany was one of the biggest pieces of evidence that confirmed evolutionary theory for the scientific community during Darwin's time.

Carl Philip Steuch

So basically screw creative fights in favor of copy/paste haki brute force.

Okoga

Even if Zoro stayed at Sabaody, it would take him 2 years to find their meeting place.

Rat#394

I feel like I should mention that Sabo being alive is a popular fan theory... you're definitely not completely off base for thinking "no body no death." This is One Piece after all.

jahschwa

Well yeah pterodactyls used jet engines to hunt their prey.

Alopex The Wanderer

Now you have to watch "fight together" the opening of this arc

Gurth-Quake

God this is such an epic end to the first half of the story. Going to be a wild ride seeing all the new tricks the Straw hats can come up with over their training.

Seraphem

35:59 that pterodactyl made jet noises. also for that Mantra part, the connection to Haki, that is Oda's greatest strength as a story teller, EVERYTHING matters in One Piece, we just dont know how yet.

Baltierrian22

fun fact: some people are mentioning that oda took a break after this part, but there's more to it. The break made the next chapter line up to be literally 2 years after they got disbanded in real time. Also idk if you remember but Aisa not only was able to hear everyone, she specifically went through the same shit as Koby, suffering from hearing everyone dying

Nopoleon Y

I love how one piece just smoothly flows into itself and is really consistent with the connections of each arc, some will reference things that happened hundreds of episodes ago or in the future. And theres damn near Nothing that does not make sense at some point

Emperor Moist

Congratulations on reaching the timeskip! And yes, I think it's fair to feel frustrated about Coby during that moment in Marineford before we learn about how his Haki unlocked. Actually, there are some moments in Marineford where you were confused that Haki actually retroactively explains (e.g. the pirates being confused when their hits don't land on some logia users) Will you also consider making some videos covering this pre-timeskip section of One Piece, such as favorite Strawhat ranking or favorite arc ranking?

excel

Alicia! You have to understand! Brook's 40° training is incredibly important! Just think how strong his muscles would be... if he had any that is! Yohohohoho!

TheRoguelock

That man (and every mangaka) deserves it. On top of legitimately wanting him to be happy and healthy, I do kind of selfishly want him and him alone to be able to finish One Piece. I know he's said he's given some people the information of how it would end, so they could "finish it" if the worst happened, but I want Oda's One Piece from beginning to end. Also, I would hate to think that he was making something I enjoy so much if he was downright miserable at the time

TheRoguelock

I get that, but then every fight with a Logia comes down to an elaborate game of rock paper scissors. And imagine how hard that would be for some of the Logias that are out there

TheRoguelock

Armament Haki doesn't deactivate the effects of a Devil Fruit, it just lets you damage the fruit user. So impaling a Logia in elemental state still isn't going to kill them, it's just going to make them feel the pain of being impaled. This is why Akainu had to manipulate Ace into taking the blow for Luffy. He couldn't just kill him by punching a hole through his flames with haki.

DRedd

I am actually unsure if this has been outright confirmed, but I am pretty sure the first shown use of Observation (Or Armament) Haki was Zoro, during his fight with Mr 1. When he learned how to cut steel.

Ebofa

It's crazy to think how Luffy setting out initially from Windmill village to the time skip all takes place in just 9 months.

Brian Todd

Mihawk basically went "God you´re so cringe. I love it" at Zoro. I have said it before, and I will say it again, the family dynamic of those three is peak. Goth Daddy Icon Mihawk, Pastel Goth and Fed Up Older Sister Perona, and Idiot Jock Son Zoro. The fanfics basically writes themselves. Something I appreciate about Usopp, is that his dream of being a brave warrior of the sea, was kinda half-assed, not thought through machismo, at first. And he often breaks when he is tested, but again and again he learns to work through the fear and that he have to make a stand. Not just for his own sake, but for his friends who rely on him. And I think this wavering in his dream is what makes him stand out from his friends, who are all totally clear and dedicated to their goals. They got on the ship because they knew their what dreams their dream is and they believed being on the ship could help them archive it. Usopp got on it because he thought it would be cool, and now he is learning to grow into the dream he somewhat recklessly declared. And in a show where dreams and ideals are everything, it makes him an interesting character.

Ebofa

Am I the only one who is noticing the visual lag!?!?!? It started with 513 - 514, but now it's happening here. And at such a vital point too!!!😩😩😩

subject nerdam

You bet your ass it's grand, first arc of the final saga is crazy

NandoTNT

Honestly never been a fan of haki being able to counter logia straight up, means we will pretty much never get a unique fight like Crocodile or Enel if haki users are involved since brute force can always be a solution. Why problem solve when punch option exists?

Okoga

She won't be watching any OP movies until she's caught up

Ado Bleuler

To be fair, you were dunking on Koby so hard you missed Helmeppo saying "I literally am not hearing what you are hearing." Which was a giveaway to it being haki related.

Okoga

Danggg alicia figuring it out slower than zoro haha xd

Kyros

I have a running theory that Luffy had subconsciously used Armament Haki during his last fight with Crocodile, as the amount of blood Luffy was bleeding shouldn't have been enough to cause Crocodile's sand to solidify, unless the scene was censored to have Luffy bleed less. Crocodile even didn't complete his sentence when he got punched, not saying anything about the blood, and as someone that has already remarked about going back to the New World, he likely is very familiar with Haki, especially because Whitebeard, who he holds a strong vendetta at, should be more than able to use it. Which leads me to a bit of a plot hole I noticed during the Marieford War, two individuals with Devil Fruit Powers survived encounters with those that should have access to Armament Haki: Aokiji should have a bloody hole through him from Whitebeard stabbing him, as Whitebeard should have known about the admirals Logia Devil Fruit ability, which would make him use Armament Haki against Aokiji when he jumped at Whitebeard, but instead it was an expected hole for a Logia type injury, which is nothing at all. As someone who squares off with Shanks every now and again, Mihawk should be more than able to use Armament Haki, yet Buggy was not shredded to bloody ribbons when cut, despite the fact that Armament Haki being a hard counter to Devil Fruit powers.

De L

The beautiful thing about it is that they have been setting this Haki power up from the very start of the series. All the way back with Shanks and then slowly as the series went on. It isn't just suddenly magic powers people just now made up and added.

YukoValis

which bugs me just a little bit. The man lived on an island that was literally trying to eat him. Filled with wild beasts that also tried to eat him. Who were there to eat the plants that were also trying to eat him.. You would think after 2 years of that he would have gotten a lot more fearless.

YukoValis

Usopp made Nami's Clima Tact so you gotta factor that into nami's growth as well.

SpartanManJDOGG

55:25 It was at this point in the manga Oda took a four week break

Trevor Appel

The Manga had a one-month Break after the end of pre-time skip One Piece. (It was one of the few really long breaks Oda was ever allowed to have. He went to Hawaii and had a good time ).

Alexander Saldivar

I'm sorry Alicia, I'm only saying this because Oda said it himself. Usopp will always be the weakest crew member. Yes they all grew stronger for Luffy, but our boy soup will always be the weakest in the crew. Back again just to say a few things. Smart move on telling everyone half way threw because people do skip the intro and also "let her cook!!" That is all Around of applause for Alicia making it halfway through. It's now time for the new world

UndeadNovaKing 0

Zoro figured out 3D2Y before you ;)

KevUrb

luckily the wait wasn't long 😂

V_VMat

New World hype!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

V_VMat

Also, I am SO HAPPY we made it to this episode; The haki explanation, something I've WANTED to do ever since we first met Rayleigh. But, I am SO glad we made it here. Can't wait for the next stream, Love you and your content alicia, never let those haters win!

Chris White

Oh Alicia, just wait about a hundred more episodes…you ain’t seen Nothing yet.

Chris White

Ok now that the explanation is out, just be forewarned that haki is the most inconsistent thing in one piece, well that and scale/size but just keep it in mind going forward.

CDMellow

I really love ep 516 explaining Haki because I'm such a huge writing nerd. I'm a person who thinks power sets should be limited to keep them from the author being able to write whatever they want, it forces them to be creative. I loved that aside from devil fruits, almost everything we see or will see in one piece can fall into the three types of Haki and Oda keeps to the rules pretty damn well.

bloodyshadow1

Watching new op watcher's have the brain expansion moment upon learning how haki works is always satisfying to see.

Xenocrona

She should watch all the "Oda" movies! Starting with Strong World and 3D2Y!

Chamoun101

Hey Alicia now that you hit the time skip you should check out the 3D2Y movie it is a very good movie!

Noah Dean

We made it. Proud of you Alicia.

Gabe Johnson

Blood, sweat and a whole bunch of tears but we finally made it. GO TO NEW WORLD!!!

Bj Howe

Finally, I waited so long to talk about this! Now I can say it, whiteout spoilers: ALICIA IS A MASTER OF OBSERVATION HAKI!

Chamoun101

This was a great reaction :D Now we gotta wait for 517+518

TTJek

I would consider one piece to be in 3 parts first is east blue/ first half of grand line. Secondly the new world and finally the final saga which I think is grand enough and especially narratively to have its own section

rmplays

Thus we reach the half-way point to one of the greatest stories ever told, and on top of that, we say goodbye to Pain Piece…. For now.

Sam Marsh

NOOOOO!!! don't give her ideas!! lol

Silver Blade

I’ll see you all in the new world o7 Narrative-wise, I’d call this point of the story the first half of it. It doesn’t mean that it is the first half literally but when it comes to the narrative of the story, this is where everything changes as they enter the new world which also means entering a new era.

Most Sane Oreimo Fan

Wapol's got animated as a speed run.

F. Carasind

I would call it the first half considering where we are now in the manga. Currently we are in the final saga and 72 chapters away from having the same amount of chapters as pre-TS. The anime doesn't count here because it sadly has way more pacing issues after the timeskip which even negatively influences the public opinion on certain arcs. All arcs you will watch now will either have the same amount or even more episodes as there are chapters in the manga. Also: Do you remember Aisa from Skypiea which had the same "condition" that Koby has? This is the connection you can make here – but you are clearly in the majority if you don't notice it.

F. Carasind

It was a great ride, watching the first half of one piece with you all, and i can't wait to see the second half!

Gildarts1#fan

Congratulations on making it this far. As a heads up if you want to you should read the cover stories for this half of the grand line. it's has some cool story's they didn't animate. Such as what eneru did when he went to the moon, where did wapol land after being sent flying, why is jango a marine now and what happened to CP9 after the buster call. I stopped watching the anime after this so I don't know if they animated any of the future ones. Also has cool art requests drawn by oda for fans. I'm sure there is a video on YouTube of them if you want a quick view but feel free to ignore this.

Matt Granger

You should wait 2 years until you start the 2nd section for the IMMERSION

JPD

Jesus, I forgot how nostalgic this era of one piece was

Unsaidrumble

LETS GO IM SO EXCITED 😆😆🔥🔥

Hassan Ali

So looking forward to all the New World stuff!
