Holy shit the team up between Law and Kid is foreshadowing. If you know you know, I just realized it though.

2024-11-08 22:23:35 +0000 UTCCounting Omatsuri Island, this was the fourth death of the Straw Hat Crew. Aokiji showed mercy when he didn't need to. Kuma showed mercy twice. This incident was particularly poignant, because it was slow and drawn out, and they were completely helpless. Kuma didn't have to do what he did. He could have sent them to their immediate deaths, and there would have been nothing they could have done. The Straw Hats all died here. They were just given another chance.

2024-08-30 02:42:45 +0000 UTCthe internet isn't ready for already-known stuff to be animated I don't want to imagine what watching that stuff come to life would be like, let alone the other horrors that await us further on... I'll be there but still.............

2024-06-18 14:10:52 +0000 UTC12:03 "Whooo~ Why am I crying? Q_Q" Bro, we haven't even started... 31:09 Yeah, I do think that this arc was purposely set up to give you a very clear idea of what the arc was "going" to focus on. Then it hard cuts to *this*. If no-one tells you how short this arc is, you might expect it to be as long as the usual main fighty ones. But no. Turns out we aren't powerful enough to fight racism yet. Yet. 47:46 Yepp. That is indeed FUCKED. The most unhinged ending to a One Piece episode yet. Fucking hell... Still love your content Alicia ^^

2024-06-02 13:03:15 +0000 UTCOne of the most brutal episodes in the whole series so farrrr :3

2024-06-02 02:53:40 +0000 UTCalso hitting hard is that the character designer for the anime, from here on, is someone else now. won't be the same now

2024-06-01 07:46:38 +0000 UTCThis episode hits extra hard when you remember that Luffy barely has a grasp on object permanence.

2024-05-30 07:22:03 +0000 UTCDefinitely one of the most brutal episodes in the whole series.

2024-05-28 18:00:40 +0000 UTCIt was actually revisiting Sabaody with you that made me think on something I heard in a review a while back. The reviewer in question didn't like how the fight with Gecko Moria ended because it felt like too much of an ass pull, just kind of an undeserved power-up that didn't feel earned, and initially I did agree with that, until having revisited Sabaody. I think Oda was very deliberate with that ass-pull for this exact moment, to give you the belief that no matter how hopelessly outgunned and overpowered the enemy may be, the Straw Hats would always find a way, and we'd end with a big ol happy party like we always do. Ennis Lobby was one thing, everyone had powered up for it and we stood shoulder to shoulder with CP-9, Thriller Bark was meant to lower our guard, to lull us into a false Shonen sense of security that the good guys, our heroes, would always pull the day. But they don't.

2024-05-28 17:01:26 +0000 UTCWhen I first got into one piece, I started with the anime and this was the last episode released when I caught up. I switched to the manga and the last chapter was the end of the I.D. saga. Crazy time to get into the series :D

2024-05-28 16:48:32 +0000 UTCman imagine watching this weekly and seeing ''the straw hats suffered a complete collapse'' i'd be depressed all week lol

2024-05-28 06:14:55 +0000 UTCYeah, this is the point where it's actually fully nailed into viewers that the Straw Hats have been punching WAY ABOVE their weight class for a while now. The other 9 Supernovas were only able to escape because Kizaru turned his attention away from them before Rayleigh got in his way. Outside of that, there's no overpowering the enemy, no gimmick to get by a logia user, and no underestimation by the bad guys. It took TWO MONTHS for a bunch of rookies, most of whom were from the weakest of the Four Seas, to completely dominate said seas, overthrow the largest criminal organization in the first half of the Grand Line, save 3 whole nations in said Grand Line, ALL OF WHICH WAS DONE WITH A SHIP NOT BUILT FOR THAT SEA, Pick a fight with AND WIN said fight with the World Government, AND beat 2 different Warlords (and escaped from a third via Kuma's testimony). They finally ran into an enemy that was no longer going to take them lightly in any way, and showed them exactly what Moria was talking about: "As you are, you're not ready for the New World."

2024-05-28 02:59:53 +0000 UTC"Just put them on the ship and let us leave" Oh no. No no. Kuma is so, so much kinder than that.

2024-05-28 02:13:35 +0000 UTCLet me just say something I've always stood by: Gecko Moria was right. These are the sorts of enemies theyd find in the new world. And if they had gone there when they'd meant to, they would have been wiped out. Moria was a lot of things, but not a liar.

2024-05-28 02:11:35 +0000 UTCMad respect to Brook for dedication to the bit.

2024-05-28 00:10:28 +0000 UTCThis episode was nothing but absolute heartbreak from beginning to end, it took me weeks to recover from the strawhats defeat.
Sam Marsh
2024-05-27 23:13:37 +0000 UTCOk, I see... I always used "saga" and "arc" interchangeably. I only saw the anime listing, and that's work with "seasons", even if it's not accurate: S4: Water 7 (207-325) S5: Thriller Bark (326-384) S6: Summit War (385-516) In this sense I called the whole Summit war an "arc", probably wrongly then. Thanks for the correction. :)

2024-05-27 22:26:57 +0000 UTCAn arc is a form of bridge and a means of getting from one point to the next like how you said it set up future events. Saobody is a bridge that has its start and end but it is the start of a saga. Also its common for one piece fens to divide arcs into islands.

2024-05-27 22:18:40 +0000 UTCI love that Alicia says Luffy is gonna need therapy considering where he gets sent after this. XD
Gus
2024-05-27 22:12:53 +0000 UTCI think the thing here to consider Kapitany, is one piece is split into arcs and sagas, you aren't wrong about the set up, but that is how it was released, multiple arcs make up a saga. This set of episodes for Sabaody IS officially listed as an arc. Going back to a previous saga as an example: 2.4 Water 7 Saga 2.4.1 Long Ring Long Land Arc 2.4.2 Water 7 Arc 2.4.3 Enies Lobby Arc 2.4.4 Post-Enies Lobby Arc

Ben
2024-05-27 21:15:40 +0000 UTCSadly I cannot explain without spoilers why everything in this was just setting up things. But for the 20 episodes... You know this is OP, and we had fillers almost this long? Just because something take time, it doesn't become a mostly independent storyline, aka arc...
Kapitány Zoltán
2024-05-27 20:45:32 +0000 UTCI mean its like 20 episodes with a full narrative and character development with a definitive resolution so…an arc XD
None
2024-05-27 20:36:39 +0000 UTCThe worst part? One Piece went on HIATUS after this episode/arc. We just had to SIT with that. And like, pretty sure that the cut I'd watched, at the time, didn't even have a "to be continued." Which, like, intentional or no? Genuinely haunting.

2024-05-27 20:14:10 +0000 UTCImagine it is a last episode, holy shit. Most depressing anime ever
Jakub Fabian
2024-05-27 19:44:41 +0000 UTCFarewell to Sabaody, one of the most escalating arcs I have seen in anime. The arc where Oda decides to just traumatize everyone. And make sure you absolutely loathe the government. First of all, I will say that I am glad Brook went second. I don´t wanna imagine what it would be like for him to see yet another crew disappear one by one. I always thought Zoro went first, not just because he is the most senior crew-member, but also because he is the rock of the crew. He is often the one to keep a cool head in dramatic and emotional moments, and the one to suggest the realistic option (even if it is unpleasant, or insane). Not to mention the fact that he has a reputation for being utterly indestructible. So seeing him be so utterly helpless is just heartbreaking. Not to mention how Sanji, the responsible and caring middle brother of the crew, is casually knocked aside so that he can watch Usopp disappear in front of him. Unable to protect anyone. And then we got Nami crying out for help, and Robin desperately reaching for Luffy and it just so sad all around.
Ebofa
2024-05-27 19:26:08 +0000 UTCWhat was really wild was they ended the arc like that and then you had two filler episodes before we got back to it. So imagine 3 weeks of waiting to see what happened after all that.
Bj Howe
2024-05-27 19:22:33 +0000 UTCSabaondy Archipelago is an interesting metaphor with bubbles: Bubbles, while pretty, are ephemeral and will eventually vanish from existence abruptly. Much like the "good times" the Straw Hats had until now.
Vincent
2024-05-27 18:51:21 +0000 UTCI don't know why everyone take this as a whole separate arc, I always thought about it as the opening of the arc... There is no mayor plot, it's just setup for the future events. A lot of setup, but still just that.
Kapitány Zoltán
2024-05-27 18:33:42 +0000 UTCpossible the strawhats lowest point.
