Ooohhhh the emotional damage. Over 1000 episodes in and I can still cry watching you cry. 300 episodes in...you earned your tears. The cult of One Piece knows it is hard to recommend One Piece because of the time commitment. We also know there are no shortcuts. You can't possibly let someone watch story recaps and throw them into Water 7. It doesn't work that way. The Live Action is doing their best and the East Blue Saga is ridiculously simple in comparison. For good or bad, One Piece is about the journey. We are, we are...on the cruise.

We've now ticked box #2 of my "non-human side characters Oda writes better than other authors write their protagonists." (1) Chou Chou (2) Going Merry. I've got 3 more boxes, can't wait for you to get to them!

I wanted to ask the same and also:
How did Clarus react when she saw you after leaving the room with such a crying face?

Who said Oda doesn't kill off characters...
This episode makes me sob every time. π
But it's hilarious that you had to go to IKEA like this. xD

I love how Nami takes care of getting the Going Merry away from Enies Lobby (with Chopper on the steering wheel) and the rest handle the canon balls, while Luffy is just lying around unable to move. Again, it's such a nice display of Luffy not having to deal with everything.

Yes, who cares about IKEA!? One Piece is way more important. xD

Don't keep anything in, it will hurt whenever you see it again. Been... 9 years now and it still hurts! Glad you stuck with One Piece.

Don't mind me, just stopping by to watch another grown adult cry over a fictional ship, to verify I'm not alone π
Please share your wife's reaction to your mood for the rest of the day, if you don't mind of course

Without taking anything away from Oda, who obviously crafted a powerful story, but man, you have to really appreciate how Toei took something that was already fantastic and made it even better. The music, the lighting, the transitions, the voice-acting choices, the whole bit. All added on top of what Oda had already put down, transforming it into something sublime.
it has also been pointed out to me that Oda isn't afraid to have his characters ugly cry. Other anime, you might see the single Manly Tear from a male character, or rivers of tears from female characters. But Oda shows his characters *bawling*. It's easy to plug into those emotions when you see them portrayed right there on the screen.

I said this on the Discord too, but every One Piece fan has ugly cried over a ship.
Welcome. We've been waiting for you.
