- Thanks to the community response, I've been tasked with reacting to Strawhat V's "The Breathtaking World of One Piece". I wasn't sure what to expect with this reaction, and was delightfully surprised by the visual feast for the eyes that took me for a ride!
As you are probably starting to figure out, my brain goes all over the place. Enjoy following me on a journey of memories both new and old in this reaction and incredible travel catalogue of the imagination of Eiichiro Oda's creation!

Thank you to everyone who recommended this watch! I can still see all the colors with my eyes closed!
I know I'll get some flak for being a pause champ and chopping up the reaction, but it's just not my style to talk over a video. If you prefer reactions the other way, please give a multitude of other reactors some support for fitting your style.
And as always please give support for the original video. I know how difficult putting together informational videos can be (because I've never successfully done it yet!) and these creators absolutely deserve all the credit!
I appreciate you all for your time, and allowing me to be part of YOUR One Piece Journey too!
Hey man, this video isn't playing but the others on your channel are. Is something wrong on my end or your end?
Nvm it's working now
@ReiseMLukas **Glad its working now!
It seems like it's working on my end. I'll check the copyright claims, but I don't think anything is blocked (I also think it would tell you if that was the case). Strange. Video is reading no impact on the claims, and it looks like HD is done processing. It should be working.
Maybe a simple refresh of the browser or restarting the app could get it working again? Sorry to hear that it wasn't immediately available, but it should be eventually!
@@Noxiddar I got it now 👍
Pause the video as much as you want! You are not doing a day-one live reaction! Take your time and enjoy!
Same with the anime if you ever decide to start, don't rush and watch at your own pace!
What I do not get is, that you are so amazed by this video and really hyped for One Piece. But why do you not start immediatly watching/reading?
When I find an anime that triggered me, I have to directly consume it.
The whiter the Beard the Stronger the Man. You'll see.
Also in Japanese Hige is Facial Hair so Both Mustache and Beard is "Hige"
And if you're name is literally WHITEBEARD then you're considered as the strongest
goddamn right
Ive always said that one piece has more in common with epic fantasy novels then to other shounen anime. The world scale is massive, each location has its own environment, culture, politics, technology and traditions. The whole series inspires adventure, you can take the characters and plot out of the world and it is still an impactful and interesting place.
I absolutely got that sense as well from the other videos, and even the live action, I've watched so far.
I think in one of them (maybe this one - they are starting to blur together) I mentioned the world felt like a character of its own, for exactly all the reasons you've stated.
I'm so excited to work through the world and explore it on my own, and join the chorus of opinions that share a similar sentiment to yours.
I really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for joining me on this journey, and by extension, letting me be a small part of yours!
Watching One Piece is like traveling and learning things from all over the world alongside your best friends. As if in the first episode Luffy had said "I'm going on an adventure to discover and change the world, do you want to come with me?" Whenever I watch it I feel at home with these characters.
I definitely get the sense of that already (even through episode 14 of the English Sub).
I've often spoken in my Discord before I started this reaction journey that I'd felt like I'd been missing adventure. Games are fun, but I always felt so directionless with my let's plays.
So, having an incredible epic to settle into and share in the journey with others for years to come is indeed incredibly epic!
I count myself grateful for the people I've met since starting this journey and the people I will continue to meet into the future.
Thank you for being a part of that with your comment!
"Peoples Dreams.....NEVER END!"
It is my firm belief that you don't find One Piece, One Piece finds you, at the right time of your life! ❤
I honestly love this sentiment, and I am inclined to agree with you!
My creative soul feels nourished. It's been so starved by Hollywood watch and forget junk food programming and spectacle. So, to actually partake in a STORY has been beyond refreshing!
@@Noxiddar One Piece is all about following your dreams and ultimate freedom! Very important topics, especially in these hard times! I always wanted to get into One Piece but never could, I think the live action has been a God send to a lot of people who haven't been able to get into One Piece! The cast, music, props, costumes, everything was perfect! So it reminded me how awesome they said the manga and anime was and man... Yeah, they were right! Much love and keep on sailing! 👨🏻🌾➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖🤜🏻
Knowing Japanese And western fairy tales like you do will give you so much insight to the islands and character designs in the series. You’re lucky!
I'm sure I'll miss things here or there that others will help fill in the gaps, but I'm just in awe of how much there is to experience in this wild world!
The connection you made with takoyaki is hilarious because that's exactly how Eiichiro Oda thinks when writing a lot of the times. Many things are random references to other things in real life but he makes them work in-story somehow.
I love that! Our lives are nothing else than stories waiting to be told. That's the magic inherent in fiction!
Thank you so much for sharing. That's such a cool insight! Now I'm hungry again... Haha!
There is actually a character in one piece based on Momotaro. Oda loves to reference all kinds of media and entertainment like actors, singers, all kinds of mythologies, and takes inspiration from them as well.
That is so awesome! The little play I taught my 6th graders out of the Ministry of Education in Japan's "Eigo Noto" textbook was my first introduction to the story.
I always love when Japan includes their folklore, whether creatures or heroes, into their works.
Thanks for letting me know! I'll definitely keep a look out for it when I'm watching!
and his clothes are pink peach ass well hahaha@@Noxiddar
I love how you're coming back to the concept of hope with One Piece, as that's a core part of the entire experience. Giving hope to others, following your hopes to seek what you need to feel fulfilled, losing hope only to find it again when the right person or circumstance comes to you... all of that is explored in the series, from the intimate and very personal level all the way up to a global one. I am so glad you have stepped aboard the mighty vessel that is this story. From your other videos on it, you will definitely not regret it.
Hope really is the embodiment of all things One Piece. And as I've dipped my toes into this wonderful world and community, I'm learning more and more about how hope is a resounding part of every straw hat.
I get the sense that a lot of veteran One Piece fans come to new viewer videos with the two-fold HOPE that the new viewer will enjoy One Piece and that they might be able to assist in helping a new viewer navigate the incredibly dense and intentional creation of Oda.
For me, I really do think I'm an empath. I strongly associate more with the feelings people have, which often lends greater weight to the things they say.
This is such a beautifully insightful comment, and I thank you so much for sharing this moment from your own One Piece journey with me, and I am so grateful that you have decided to join me in mine.
I write that a lot in comments these days. Because I think that sentiment I've shared with the community all culminates in the idea of a shared HOPE that we have.
Thank you 🙏
This video gives me tears of joy everytime I see it.
One Piece came into my life when I was starved for good stories and I wasn't finding them from Hollywood.
I came into it excepting nothing but a silly cartoon with nothing of substance, but before long an important moment (which I won't spoil) opened my eyes and made me realize I had discovered something special. I knew from that moment on that there was no going back. I would go to the ends of the world for these characters. My love for the story only grew from there.
One Piece is a funny but dramatic odyssey that has ignited my love for storytelling like nothing before or since. It has also cause me to look back at stories I've read before and seeing them in a deeper way than before.
It still blows my mind that something I thought was a silly cartoon would become my favorite fictional story of all time.
As a fellow storyteller, I can't tell you how much I appreciate comments like this.
There really is no better feeling than having expectations subverted (and in a good way), being told a great story, and, as a result, felt like your life has been changed.
Even just in this short process, I'm finding my life changed by this journey before I've really even begun!
I'm traditionally a lonewolf type. I love to explore and discover things on my own, but it has been such a joy to have navigators on hand to guide and direct this wayward vessel, that had once been listless and directionless for years.
I truly thank you so much, not just for the engagement on my little channel, but to have taken the time to look back on your OWN journey and welcome me along.
The years ahead are bright indeed, as I look to a horizon with a rising sun over the dawn of a grand, new adventure!
One Piece is what peak writing and atmosphere looks like.
If One Piece was a book. It would be the beat book.
Oh, come now, it is, in fact, several volumes of manga. It's definitely on the level as a book series!
As someone who works in a school, this sounds like a based American librarian take. Haha! Just teasing.
I know exactly what you are saying, though.
I was just talking with someone who was a fan of the manga for over 2 decades about how hard the ending was going to hit for them. And I couldn't help but try to imagine that for myself as well.
I kept coming back to how difficult it was for me to watch The Return of the King and see the Hobbits return home to the Shire after their lives had been altered forever by their adventures, and how the people around them celebrated and went on, oblivious to the hardships and experiences of these four.
I say it's such a hard watch because that was exactly how it felt to come back to small town America after my 4 years living in Japan. Life here went on as it always had, and I was left to pick up the pieces of an old life, the people around me unable to understand and relate to anything I'd undergone.
I imagine to reach that end of One Piece when it's day finally dawns will be magnitudes upon magnitudes of that very sentiment. For so many having over a quarter of a century of their life pulled along on an adventure.
I don't think it would be the best book (a container for a story).
I think it already is.
I appreciate your comment so much and look forward to the volumes of magnificent imagination that will take me to all manner of strange and wonderful places.
Thank you for taking the time to let me be part of your One Piece journey, and I'm glad that you have chosen to be part of mine!
@Noxiddar
I mean, Guliver references, Dantes Inferno, Alice in Wonderland, Zombies references..
You know what's amazing? At first Oda thought One Piece would last about 5 years however he said that once he started writing, his characters just took a life of their own and started to write the story for him, now it's been over 25 years, it became a global phenom with one of the most amazing and loyal fandoms in the world, a story that incredibly still keeps on being better and better, even after 1050+ chapters and episodes, a story that like for many became my favourite piece of media ever. People can say whatever they want, Oda is still a human (surprisingly lol), ofc not everything is perfect, but the amount of passion, creativity and effort put on this story, is just unrivaled. My advice, enjoy the journey, don't rush it, because once you are caught up, it's when the real pain begins, you see the final saga just started and every storyline, every character, every piece of information carefully built over the course of 25 years is finally are finally coming together and oh boy, all i'm gonna say is that it's a struggle to not even read the spoilers every single week
This is such great insight!
I attributed this quote to JRR Tolkien in another video, but I actually think it may just be a general idiom.
The idea that: the story grows in the telling.
I just wrapped up my final reaction of this pre-watch series and actually mentioned this very fact about how Oda had initially believed the story to be about 5 years and wondering at what point along in the journey he had realized it would be so much grander.
It's such valuable insight that I really can't wait to experience in the anime, and even indeed (especially in fact) in the manga. How tangible the creators mind becomes in the pages. What messages must have been left frozen in time in the narrative to look back on.
This story really has won me over in a lot of ways, even before experiencing it (apart from the live action - which I loved) for myself!
From the creation to the community, I am very much looking forward to all the strange and wonderful imaginings of a genius mind.
Thank you again for being a small part in this journey and allowing me to be a small part in yours!
@@Noxiddar No Sir, i thank you and welcome aboard! I can tell you that i've read the manga and watched the anime, the manga ofc translates way better the message the author is trying to give us but there's just something about seeing these characters come to life that astonishes me, so yeah i do love the anime as well, however it's not for everyone, the pacing is indeed not good and a lot of people struggle keep watching the episodes, me personally i just want to see these characters move, hear the incredible soudtrack and the SPECTACULAR voice actors that are in this show, so the pace to me isn't really tha much big of a deal, i'd say try both and see what better suits your mood, no matter the decision tho even if you decide to be a manga only, i STRONGLY suggest to check out some clips/moments or even a few whole episodes that are done beautifully and very well deserved of being watched, sorry for the long comment again, really liked your content so far, keep going man, i'll be sure to stay around :)
P.S Oda does LOVE leaving messages frozen in time, you're in for a treat my friend
I think you hit a nail on the head with sound design. I think a lot of people don't even think about mentioning it when explaining why it is a good series.
It's such an underappreciated level of storytelling! I'm glad you noticed as well!
Think of how many battles would be lifeless in the moment leading up to them if you didn't hear the quick *clink* of a sword shifting in its scabbard, ready to be drawn.
Or what about the soft crunch of gravel when one character is breaking down, and the other has no words, just the shifting of weight to lend a reassuring hand on the shoulder?
So much impact would be lost without sound!
Thank you for being part of this journey with me and bringing your insight and commeraderie into the auditory nirvana that is sound design!
My favorite part about the world of One Piece is that each place feels like a place. Unique ecosystems, people, cultures and technology. Not everything makes sense at times but it is always tangible and not just a backdrop for the characters.
YES. You said it right there. "Not just a backdrop for characters." Remove the "NOT, " and you've summed up every Hollywood movie or TV show with a fantastical setting for the last 10 years or more.
I'm looking forward to this because it seems like these places don't "SERVICE" the story, but they really "SERVE AS" the STORY.
I made a fleeting mention in the video, but it really does seem like the world is also a character, where, in other stories, it is more like stage dressing for the story.
I appreciate your thoughts!
Not to mention history.
"Hito no yume wa owara ne" always gives me goosebumps !!!
The footage was taken from the anime, movies, and filler episodes.
The music however was from the Witcher games and I believe the fx are from the anime
I personally recommend not skipping filler because it still feels like an extension of the story.
There are a bunch of movies though and I have yet to get through them all.
The Witcher? Maybe, I’ve never played the games but the first song is from The Dark Knight trilogy, and the second is Adiemus by the band Adiemus which was a huge hit in the mid-90’s. Don’t know what the catchy last song is though.
It's just so mind blowing (even for me who's caught up and read one piece for over 10 years now) that each place is an action location in the manga. With its own story, characters, culture, religion and conflicts.
I'm literally crying because I'm so excited for you if you continue this journey. One Piece fans just get overwhelming joy by sharing it with others. It's like a cult but... well ok maybe it is but that doesn't make it any less amazing.
This is the video you send to both your One Piece obsessives and newcomers alike.
No spoilers. Covers everything. and shows just how drastically different the world of One Piece is as far as world building goes.
Thank you Oda.
Yeah, this video is so great for FEELING the breadth of Oda's creation while maintaining and allowing for its depth to be discovered as you read or watch along with the story.
This video was probably the one that left me with more resolve to not just start One Piece but to also finish it!
The thing about one piece is that I find that most people that dont watch or read one piece aren’t ready for the story Oda has crafted to resonate with them the way it needs too until it’s the right time and I believe that the live action show means that the world is ready to embrace the beauty of this wonderful world and the importance of chasing your dream
I watched this every day for a week when it dropped what an Amazingly made video.
This video is so beautiful in that I'm given a glimpse of paradise, that for people that had already experienced the parts of that story, this video must feel like pure bliss.
I can only really liken it to that scene in Vikings where Ragnar stands before the gates of Valhalla. The beauty of it brings him to tears, but then the doors close, and he must press on with his adventure.
I, too, was mesmerized by the sights and wonders, but the end of the video was like the closing of the gates. I, too, would have to earn that paradise I saw on an adventure of my own.
I appreciate all your thoughts, and thank you too for letting me part of your journey as I prepare to begin my own!
@@Noxiddar much Aloha to you! NEW NAKAMA!!!!!
@@Noxiddar I haven't got to Vikings yet. But I hope you've heard of Vinland Saga. And yes it's exactly what your imagining Right now.
I watched the first episode on Netflix and I thought I'd better not continue because I would absolutely love to do a reaction to this series too!
If you start your OP journey you will earn lifetime subscribers that’s forsure. It’s the best nostalgic watching others begin their journey.
I just finished recording my reactions to the first 3 episodes, not but a moment ago! I'll do my best to edit and hopefully have it available to share within the next 5 or 6 hours!
It's been incredible seeing this community rally not just around the story that they love but the people that want to make that story part of their world as well!
I appreciate your words and find myself filled with immense gratitude.
The future is bright!
This is one of those videos which I watch and then ask myself "why was a live action adaptation needed?"
It's funny because it wasn't until I watched the live action that I became excited to work my way back to the source with the manga and also the anime.
Is the live action necessary? No. And yes.
Entertainment as a whole is not jecessary for life, but it does give life meaning.
The meaning I gleaned from it led me to this moment with this video, this reaction, and this comment. I call that an unlikely string of good fortune!
Regardless of how you feel about the live action, it's the reason I made "one of those" videos.
I'm incredibly excited to embark on this journey, and I'm grateful that you have given a small part of your time to let me be part of your One Piece journey, and also, that you've decided to play a part in mine. I appreciate you!
I may do arc reviews, but for now, I want to focus on the episode reactions and have fun IN the material and not spend more time around it. You know?
Hope to see you there!
Eiichiro Oda the creator that does the manga and had his hand in the live action. It has so many layers to it. This has also out sold Spiderman and Batman leaving Superman just above it. Emotions so much it be always be my number one I love it.
It truly is mind-boggling the level of achievement I find myself standing before in the year 2023.
I remember all those years ago back in college seeing One Piece had around maybe just shy of 400 episodes and thinking that was too daunting of a place to start 🤣.
And then to find myself so close to the pulse of One Piece in Japan, and yet be mentally and emotionally farther away from it than ever, really does put it into perspective the task that awaits me.
But unlike those previous times, I will meet this Herculean task with a glad heart. Forever changed.
Thank you for your contribution to my journey, and thank you even more for letting me be a small part of yours!
Fair winds, and may your destination always be toward one of adventure!
@@Noxiddar I was a teenager when starting it I was one the ones in Australia that loved Anime like my husband but was treated like as people would say a nerd and Childish. That I was watching cartoon's so I was a idiot for liking it. Same as my Partner and close friends I had. Some the older ones I watch was Cowboy Bebop, Escaflowne, Gundam Wing just to name a few
You must feel so vindicated seeing how the rest of the world is catching up with your passion! 🌎
@@traceyandrob13I didn't watch many cartoons as a kid (besides Disney movies) so from the beginning of my life I've been set to go the opposite way of most people. Watched lots of life action as a kid bur as an adult I watch animation more.
I discovered One Piece when I was burned out by modern Hollywood and was craving good stories over mindless blockbusters. I'm so glad I found this story
Luffy loves a lot of food, but he shows he LOVES takoyaki multiple times in the story!!
That makes me so happy! It really is quite delicious. I'll always remember my first encounter with it!
Thanks for sharing that, I'll keep a lookout as I work through the anime and manga!
It's amazing to see another Tolkien fan who discovered One Piece. I've noticed a lot of similarities between Arda and OP world, especially in manga (anime is great, but manga is a lot better, at least for me). When I started reading OP a year ago and I instantly felt at home. Not only because of the worldbulding, but also because of the strong morality of the main characters, especially Luffy, in the cruel world - that is really similar to a lot of Tolkien heroes.
Good luck with your journey!
PS.: You may, if you want to, watch also the video made also by Strawhat V that is called "Unleashed - The Final Saga Trailer". It shows the true face of the OP world - the amount of spoilers (although it's really "the final saga trailer") is similar to this video - so it is, in my opinion, safe to watch even at the beginning of the story. It mostly spoils the dark atmosphere of the further arcs, but you've already know it, because you saw some other videos concerning One Piece.
I just finished reacting to the first 3 episodes as I'm writing this comment, and immediately, it jumps out at me just how right you are about the strongly defined moral characters contrasted with a cruel world.
I had a lot to say about how being driven so hard by intention doesn't mean Luffy is of low intelligence because he doesn't possess a certain no-how. It's more that the no-how doesn't present a worry or obstacle for him in the direction his intention takes him.
It's so fascinating to peel back layers of nuance and character study. I really hope how fascinating I found diving into character and story translates to the viewer. But I thoroughly enjoyed my first (Second-First was dubbed up to episode 41-42) foray into the anime and story of One Piece.
I'm very much looking forward to reading the manga after the anime for even more nuance and illumination. It's got me incredibly excited for the future in a way no other story has. Not for a long, long time anyway.
I appreciate your words, wisdom, and insight! Thank you for letting me be a part of your One Piece Journey, and thank you for deciding to be a part of mine!
@@Noxiddar Luffy is one of the wisest characters when it comes to dealing with people - he has great emotional intelligence and charisma.
Have a nice day!
The world building in OP is incredible. I feel we are lucky to have an anime that has run for so long, it's nearly impossible to match imo
I'm 18 episodes into the anime, and been having a blast!
Just out of curiosity, I was browsing Crunchyroll to see what else there was, and while there are no doubt great series (some I'm saving for later reactions) I could not find anything that pulled me in. And I'll admit, I was a tough convert!
It looks easy from the videos I've posted, but coming to this point was over a decade in the making.
I'm already hooked, and now I'm just along for the ride, and what a ride it has been so far!
You’re never too late to join the adventure of one piece. No matter how late someone joins, it will always be just in time. I really hope you enjoy it, have fun, and I’ll be joining in your journey as well.
I had never considered the wisdom of Gandalf until you put it so eloquently. I'm having an incredible time so far with reacting to the series (and making skits poking fun at the comments that want me to conform to a certain style of reaction 🤣)
I'm so new to reactions, but I have deeply found it so satisfying to be able to have this grand ongoing conversation with the One Piece community that has largely been so warm and welcoming.
It's a great way to start my day reading such a wonderful comment from another of this community. Thank you!
I also want to thank you for taking the time to let me play a small part in YOUR One Piece journey, and I thank you for taking the time to be part of mine!
🙏☝️✌️
@@Noxiddar don’t conform! I love how you share your own stories during the reaction, I’ve seen one piece already and I really love hearing what other people pick up from the story that differs to mine keep doing you 😁👍
“The beautiful visuals are just a small part of the grand scope”
That line is so true.
I want to say so much but I can’t because spoilers
But Japanese myth, Norse myth, fairy tales, cartoons, religion, all of it is in this.
It explores themes and motivations.
Like what is treasure and why is it valuable to certain people and while we’re at it let’s explore the depths of the extreme differences in what is perceived as treasure BUT have two completely different characters embody the same desire for a similar and materialistic type of treasure BUT at the same time being juxtaposed.
And that’s just one theme!
It’s truly a remarkable story and my favorite of all time.
I'm so glad you were able to pull one coherent thought out of my ramblings. Haha!
I appreciate the level of restraint you have, being able to see so far forward, and having the discernment that what lies ahead is better left to be discovered.
I hear this video is powerful for so many people, and it's one I'd like to come back to at the other end of my journey.
For me, it was the pure spectacle and vibrant, inviting world stretched out before me, although, always enshrouded in a kind of veil of mystery since I had no frame of reference for what I saw.
I have stood before Izumo Taisha during Kamiarizuki, watched the ice at the edge of the world from below me stretch on as far as the eye could see. I've seen serene sunsets of orange that brought a grown man to tears.
And yet, for all my adventures, I'm still looking forward to seeing where this one will take me. And chronicling this adventure on UA-cam, I think the marvels will, of course, in part, be the visuals, storytelling, and lessons learned along the way.
But I think, even more than that, this journey will be made memorable by the stories of the people I meet along the way, both in story and out.
I thank you for being among the many here at the start to see me off on this grand adventure!
Can i just say that it is briliant that the last words of the video are a small sumary of the one piece show! Peoples dreams never end, and spoken from the blackbeard himself! Gives me the chills!
I do love that, and it's been a part of my core philosophy that I've adopted a few years back, which I refer to as "Become King.""
I liken it to something like movie Aragorn's path where he has that turning point in his life where he realizes he must pursue a higher calling than let himself remain stuck in his own reluctance.
So while I never actually want to be King or consider myself "on top," I want to continue to climb, to place a greater emphasis on "Become." Because for me, the journey is far more interesting than the measure of rest at the end of it.
I think, especially after seeing how focused those themes were in the OPLA, really lit that passionate fire in my heart to go on this anime journey, and eventually to the heart of the story with the manga itself.
I find myself no longer reluctantly standing still but thrust upon the open seas, adventuring through an EPIC in every sense of the word!
It's been a blast so far!
You saying “I hope that I change from this” really struck a chord with me. I grew up as an anime hater because I was too busy watching the brain rot that Disney and Nickelodeon were producing. I had friends that watched anime but one of my friends was the biggest DBZ fan and that was all he ever talked about, so I just assumed (rather stupidly) that all anime was like DBZ so I was never really into anime. Fast forward to high school and one of my friends introduced me to Full Metal Alchemist one night while we were sharing a joint and right then and there it hit me in the face how stupid I was for never watching anime. I was hooked and started consuming every anime that peaked my interest, I stumbled upon One Piece very early in my anime journey but this was 2018 and there was 700+ episodes and that really deterred me from watching.I’ve been to Japan before so I knew the popularity one piece had within their culture. Fast forward to 2020 I had consumed most of the anime that interested so I figured screw it I might as well give it a go and like most people by episode 37 I was on my feet in tears hyped for crew. As soon as I got 300+ episodes deep it was clear to me that what I was seeing was one of the best stories ever created. I’ve been fully caught up since 2020 and let me tell you this anime will simultaneously rip your heart out while making you laugh tears. Your in-depth reactions and your ability to articulate your thoughts will make you feel extremely attached to the world Master Oda has crafted and that is the secret ingredient to creating a new One Piece fan. Cheers from Oklahoma 🥳
Your understanding of what you are getting into is so point. I wish you well on this adventure and I'll be here for your ride. The way to uncover it is to set sail 😁
This is indeed true, and I have just embarked!
Onward adventure, the sights and wonders of worlds untold await!
Thank you for being part of my journey!
I'm on my third watch through of the show, and its only going slower because I'm watching it with my dad this time. He enjoys it and has also noticed that it does something few other shows do brilliantly, which is present political situations and the consequences from them in a a way that feels organic and natural.
I was reading this book by Dr. Wayne Dyer called "The Power of Intention" and he had this saying that he often quoted throughout the book:
"Change your thoughts, and the way you think about the world will begin to change."
From what you are telling me, it sounds like the deeper into One Piece I get, the more different of a lens I will have to view our world through and appreciate it with a new perspective.
That sounds exciting. It really is my hope that this journey through this series leaves me changed for the better.
And already, before I've even begun, I'm seeing the culmination of so much meaning being brought out through the hearts and minds of those who have traveled far through their own personal journey with One Piece.
I'm constantly blown away and treasure every knew insight and experience people share.
Thank you for helping guide my start of this journey. 🙏
I've always wanted to watch One Piece with my mom but I don't think there's any chance of that. Your lucky ❤
@@matthewzeller5026 My mom is very similar to yours in that she isn't so keen on animation.
its not music from one piece... but the One Piece instrumental OST is amazing, goes so well with so many scenes... your thinking about it too much, just watch it, start on episode 1, skip the filler on your first watch through, and keep truckin.
Ah yeah, I definitely knew this music was not from One Piece, a lot of the songs I'd had on my mp3 player for years while writing or sketching. I think I was referring to the sound effects.
Believe me, I wish I could not overthink, but then I would think I'd not thunk enough!
I have something in mind for reactions, and I can't wait to share.
Thanks for taking time to be part of this One Piece journey of mine and for letting me be a small part of yours!
I love the fact that you're approaching this with Tolkien's words in mind. Tolkien's Middle-earth and Oda's One Piece world are my two favourite fictional creations when it comes to imaginative worlds, and I have a huge respect for both authors. What they have created is beautiful.
Tolkien's world ultimately left me changed. It was part of what made me realize I'd spent my youth preparing for a long journey.
On the flight from my home to Japan I had intentionally listened to "Concerning Hobbits" because I felt like a fresh-faced Bilbo, leaving the shire for the first time and setting out on a world of adventure.
On the return flight after spending 4 years in Japan. I listened to Hans Zimmer's "The Last Samurai" soundtrack, and quietly wept in my seat.
My life had been forever changed by adventure.
And here I find myself, the culmination of years of adventuring in our world and others, I'm set before the world from the mind of one man, a quarter of a century (and counting) in the making.
And I find myself yet again like Bilbo, now older and seasoned, but still filled with the delight of another journey.
"I think I'm quite ready for another adventure."
Thank you for joining me, on another life-changing adventure!
@@Noxiddar:') Thank you for sharing this beautiful message with us ❤
@jmanuelrm7804 Thanks really belongs to the community for their recommendation to check this out!
I'm glad you enjoyed!
This is such a beautiful video. I'm always amazed when I see it. I just want to be in that world.
Your excited energy makes me smile.
some of these are in movies and fillers aswell the normal story they call cannon
I can't wait to see you discovering all the mysterious and the story of this show
I am unbelievably excited to continue farther into this vast story. Now that I'm not as sick today, I'll be recording more videos tonight and moving into Episode 18 and beyond!
☝️✌️🏴☠️
You are going in with the perfect mindset. The scale and world building is special. You will enjoy this adventure.
I'm definitely enjoying the journey so far!
I'm always gonna be happy when i see someone watch one piece for the first time and I’m grateful for the live action because a lot of people will also jump into this world.
For me one piece is a journey, a long journey full of hope, sadness, suffering, joy and adventure and many other things. A lot of people are hesitant to go into this journey because this is an anime and it can seem childish but i will always say this, don’t let this colorful and childish world that is full of silly adventures fool you, it’s a layered world with many characters with their own stories, a world full of mysteries and you will be surprised by what this childish story can tell, like it can go VERY dark and i think that’s one of the strongest point of one piece, you see these silly stories and colors and as soon you say ohh this is fun, then Oda hits you with a twist that makes you think if this story is actually silly or is it more than that and i really love this about one piece and the genius of Oda's writing.
My advice for one piece is don’t rush it! Watch it and don’t think of catching up because once you start it, you will find yourself half way through without noticing so just take your time and enjoy this story on your own pace.
One of my favorite quotes is from the beloved author C.S. Lewis in which he says, "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."
I've lived in Japan and stood in trains and watched people from ages 8 to 80 with a manga in hand. So I certainly understand the love for manga and anime alike.
I don't think I ever thought One Piece, visually, was childish. I think my biggest issue with it when I was younger is it seemed too simplistic in style. Where were the bulging muscles and world-breaking energy blasts!?
Imagine my surprise to learn in my late 30s I had missed out on such amazing complexity and design both in narrative and art!
I love that there is such a rich pallette of nuance in One Piece that can bring in an audience of all ages.
I am definitely one of the LA audiences who want to continue on with the story in the anime and manga!
I really appreciate your helpful introduction into the world of One Piece.
I fully intend to embrace the adventure at my pace, which, if these reaction videos have taught me anything, probably means I'll be done reacting to East Blue in a year or two! 🤣
@@Noxiddar i grew up with one piece and it has a big place in my heart so i am really grateful that people are getting into it now after watching the LA.
A lot of people unfortunately see the simple art style and the silly stuff of this story and immediately say it’s not that good but i always say this to people, don’t let the art style fool you. And i'm happy you're getting into this story with this open mindset because a lot of people will enjoy one piece if they went into this with an open mindset and don’t let the art style stops them.
I really hope you will enjoy one piece and the story and the emotions of this beautiful world. Taking your time with this story is the best way to watch this, like the Live Action has so many little details you wouldn’t notice unless you put so many hours into this story 😂 and i'm someone who literally grew with one piece so i read the manga and watched the anime A LOT of times so if you’re someone who loved little details and connecting the story, you will enjoy this story.
Dang man. I’m late, but I just came across this. I see you’re a ways into the show by now and I just want to say: as someone who caught up on OP a few months ago…life is different now. This story really does have a way of staying by your side that I couldn’t be more grateful for. Welcome aboard, nakama. See you on the other side. 🏴☠️
6:50 this scene is one of my favs in the entire show
you got a subscriber man, your way of understanding this fictional masterpiece world is just so on point, unlike many other l guys on internet who just bash on one piece without even watching a single episode just because of the lenght...
I really think also having a community that appreciates the story, the world, and its creator who has spent the last quarter century crafting this is worthy of admiration and respect any way you cook it.
I've started reacting to the anime from the beginning with the original Japanese VA, and it's given me so much rich content to pull from and dive into.
I had the English Dub on in the background up to episode 40 or 41 in the lead up to the live action release.
So actually sitting down and having the intentional focus a story like this deserves has been so rewarding, and I've met so many love fans of One Piece.
It truly is a breathtaking world that I'm so glad I gave myself the chance to be a part of.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your One Piece journey, and thank you for subbing and being a part of mine!
🙏 ☝️✌️
😸❤🏴☠ I chalk it up to Oda having the ultimate Devil Fruit LOL
Now that you say that... I wouldn't be surprised if that really wasn't the case!
Really love the style of reacting, taking the time to analyse everything, cuz its exactly as you said. More obvious in the manga, with Every panel in the manga being so packed full of visual info that you can talk about each panel for a long time. And in an insane video like this put together perfectly, every scene is full of details, most of which are in the background making this world of ink alive in every way.
Glad i found this channel today, subbed, looking forward to seeing you enjoy this world which I was drawn to over 15 yrs ago 🤙🏽
That means so much to me hearing this come from a long-time fan of One Piece. It's been an incredible journey so far! I'm probably not as far along as many would like, but I'm savoring the story and the world!
Glad to have you along for the journey for as long as you'd like to stay. I appreciate you taking your time to let me be part of your One Piece journey, and for deciding to be a part of mine!
☝️✌️🏴☠️
Im so here for your journey
I am beyond ecstatic for this journey as well!
Thank you for not only being here, but already playing a large role in the start of that journey! Folded 🙏
The final stretch of that video, and your words, was a Slam Dunk.
I appreciate all of your insight and wisdom.
Thank you for taking the time to let me be a small part of your own One Piece journey, and especially for taking the time to be a part of mine!
☝️✌️🏴☠️
Before the Live Action, it was hard for me to take this video seriously due to the tone differing greatly from how the anime does things.
Now, here I finally am trying to take it in as is.
4 kids did all of America dirty.
I've heard this and seen a few examples. Shame. Maybe the OPLA will get more people into the manga and anime. I know it did for me!
I love your reaction! You are really capturing the essence of One Piece and the way we all feel watching the anime or reading the manga! Best story ever told!
Thank you so much. That's incredibly kind! I really loved this video because, like I said in it, it really felt like I was flipping through a travel brochure, only instead of picking any one destination I get to go to them all.
I'll be finishing Loguetown soon and have really taken my time to appreciate every moment and enjoy the ride (Although I'm sure many would like me to move a little faster, I'm not in a hurry. Haha).
One Piece has been such an incredible blessing from both story and community. I'll always have something to appreciate that I want to share.
Thank you for your comment!
@@Noxiddar I finished it in one year so I wasn’t fast either. Now I’m waiting for weekly episodes and I wish I could go back and start it from the beginning without knowing what’s going to happen. Enjoy the ride nakama!
6:04 The song playing here is Adiemus by Karl Jenkins and the lyrics are designed to sound like a language but it's complete gibberish.
However it's unrelated to One Piece but the music in One Piece is still top notch.
Edit: sorry I just realized you were talking about the sound effects and not the song. The sound effects are from the anime.
Oh yeah, ALL these songs have been on a playlist of mine at one point or another back when I was writing a book.
Adiemus definitely gives Jea Cameron's Avatar vibes, don't you think? Particularly Way of Water vibes.
I'm so happy I've been pulled from my swamp and forced to set aside my ogre-y disposition and engage with people.
You are absolutely right, though. This community shares that excitement so readily. It's like everyone is scooting across the carpet in socks, ready to shock others with their own excitement! It's downright electric!
I hope I will do the One Piece veterans proud with my series reactions. I have an idea for some dramatic roleplaying introductions that should make it fun for everyone, from newcomers to white whiskered vets!
Onward, to adventure!
The main massage of this Adventure for me was Joy....
Try to find more joy in daily life.
You were cooking with the Momotaro connection. Characters are named after the animals in it
welcome aboard sir, and enjoy the ride 🐋
also this is music from avatar so well done to notice.
Reactions all set up, with a 3 day weekend to dive in! I cannot wait to begin!
Thank you for letting me be part of your One Piece journey with my video, and especially thank you for being a part of mine! 🏴☠️
Your voice is so soothing to listen to.
I appreciate that! Hope you enjoy the video(s)!
Speechless
The OST & sounds in One Piece are even better than what you heard in the video.
I definitely have been enjoying the OST that I've heard so far in what I've seen!
I'm certain you know by now, but One Piece just BEGS to be dissected and analyzed. There are so many little details and design choices that provide hints and context that are expanded on later.
A great example is Shanks. Using your knowledge of Viking ship design and mythology gives you a decent picture into Shank's personality and motivations long before he reappers in the story.
Also, in the most recent One Piece movie, Film Red, a character connected to Shanks sings a song that has lyrics in Elder Futhark. Cementing the idea in my mind that Shank's Norse connections are intentional.
I will very much keep my eyes open for the inspirations and influences I can catch!
Wow, I had no idea about the norse connections with Shanks. That makes me wonder if there is some of that hinted in the live action with his stare down of the Lord of the Coast. Because, now that you mention it, it does very much give me the evocative image of a powerful norse god, like Thor, staring down the Jormungandr.
Man, that's fascinating to ponder. I will revel and delight in that excitement when I arrive there!
Thank you for your guidance! 🙏
This dude seems to get it. The reason I recommend One Piece so heavily despite also being a massive LOTR fan is no story quite has the emotional depth, the world building or the character design/depth as One Piece. Even today, having been through this story multiple times the same scenes get me, but it's all built up slowly and fantastically, you can truly feel these characters through their voice actors (which is why I tell people to watch this subbed as well, because the original performance is always better). I look forward to seeing your journey, the one thing i can recommend is take your time and enjoy it.
One Piece has this magical effect where people seem intimidated by it's size, but when they are reaching the end they feel there just isn't enough, that they are not ready to go on a week by week basis with this show/manga. The anime has a lot of problems, but I feel it has many strong points as well.
I love this and appreciate the kind words.
I really do feel like reacting to these videos while seeing some spoilers has largely helped me appreciate the show so much more.
I fully agree with the subs, especially since there's also a lot of cultural nods in the voice performance that just isn't there in dub.
I really think that came through with my appreciation (I don't consider what I do analysis, but instead, appreciation) for Usopp and the Syrup Village arc. Every aspect of that performance pointed back and indicated his character.
The whole thing so far is exactly as you say. Magical.
I'm only getting started, and I've a long way to go, but I've lost sight of shore and hungry for more!
Thank you for being part of this journey and letting me be a part of your journey, too! ☝️✌️🏴☠️
Hopefully you didn't get spoiled on much. There are a "sub-set" of people who like to casually throw out spoilers. Hopefully this does not happen to you.@@Noxiddar
just gonna turn that red fire into a silver flame
DUDE... I love this
you will change, you will pursue freedom of higher order, it has changed my life not in materialistic sense but in some way i fee l powerful
Just something that first time reactors never see (I means there's so much to take in so i dont blame them/you) at 22:25, the right side of the screen is a tree (yes a tree)...you see the ship on the left for scale. Those reading the manga at present know we might be about to finally get some story related to this tree.
I may have missed this moment, but the grand use of scale in this world is not lost on me! I hope to find answers to many a great visual mystery I've seen from this video!
Thank you for the insight!
@@Noxiddar the story is so long, even some characters or places in the first few episodes that you are reacting to right now have a key impact/meaning even after 1000 episodes (I'm up to date with the manga but its always fun to watch new fans react to the earlier episodes which are so nostalgic for me). You might not remember everything as you go along, but your memory will vaguely something when youre further down the story and be like 'wait a minute we saw that/them ages ago, they actually matter!?!'
I think the thing I take solace is that I will have my navigator crew to help steer me toward the things I've missed!
In understanding this world
Most of Odas answer are about the Whys than the Hows
You are a serious and broad thinker.. you are going to love this show. It complement those people.
I appreciate that. And I really hope that's true! Sometimes I feel like I'm just stabbing in the dark!
@@Noxiddar Yeah.... Because story is not going to revolve around luffy, luffy revolve around the story.
22:33 a planet larger than Jupiter with 7 moons. 200,000+ islands (there are islands the size of Canada) and 1 continent. and 40 humanoid species have been revealed by now. Not race but spicies (human, Giant, dwarf, fishman EST)
That is wild. I cannot even fathom that. Maybe it'll seem more tangible the further I get into the series!
As a one peice fan done worry about length. One peice fans and creators cannot shut up about one piece and we love having that validated by watching other people become unable to shut up about one piece either
I am finding myself entering this cycle of One Piece life as well! It's been great fun so far!
The author of Fairy Tale was a assist. mangaka for Oda, the author of One Piece. In fact it was him that help him get his gig in the Shounen Jump, the main manga publisher in Japan where One Piece is published.
Even the focus on adventure and fantasy that comes from One Piece you can also see in Fairy Tale, but at the end of the day the author of Fairy Tale is not the best, at least for me as a fan of several mangas from S. Jump. In fact I consider him one of the worse... Together with Bleach and Naruto. Hitman: Reborn was a better show, and the final villain would make even Thanos just a random bloke.
Takoyaki reference was cool, but the Taco reference is what Iñaki did, he jokingly said I think OnePiece is a Taco, thats so Luffy.
TACOS
Ughh, I really wanna try takoyaki. I love calamari and sushi, too - and I'm not much of a seafood person
Gotta go watch some one piece now! Great vid :)
Hito no yumi wa warani 🫨🤯
The fire of your beard will turn to ice. Which is equally awesome and dangerous. I have been there. 😉
HOW have I not considered this yet!?
I love that sentiment! Thank you for that fresh perspective. I will look forward to signs of the first frost that usher in the long winter!
@@Noxiddar I hope your winter will be as long as possible. 🙂
And if you watch the video again, you'll see that fire and ice can be in the same place like on one of the islands.
Or like Merak Beta Hägen in Saint Seiya, or like Todoroki Shoto in My Hero Academia... and I must forget others 🤣
Peach boy? Giants ? 😈
V is the Roman Numeral for 5
And in my video, I made sure it was the highest of fives!
I appreciate you. Thanks for joining me on this adventure!
@@Noxiddar i grew up with my parents and grandparents teaching me about Roman Numerals. Since neither my parents or grandparents owned a clock or watch with just regular numbers. All the grandfather clocks and watches they owned had Roman Numerals
I think you are mistaken my friend. Red flames burn at around 500ºC-1000ºC (roughly 1000 to 1800ºF ) while white flames tend to burn around 1300-1500ºC (2400-2700° F). If anything your flaming beard is just burning hotter hahaha
As long as I don't brown dwarf on camera, then all is well!
But I like this sentiment. Time to burn hotter than ever and forge this figure into a formidable reactor!
@@Noxiddar Just have fun with it, after all that's the main message of One Piece. Pursue your goals but never forget to have fun along the way
Ok im off to watch yiur assassins Creed vids.
It's definitely a different kind of content from reactions, but I always have such a great time with it! Enjoy!
Sometimes the show in beginning is gonna feel slow, boring even. But it always buuilds. It gets better and better and better
I have certainly enjoyed the 51 episodes I've reacted to thus far.
And in that length of time, I've come to learn that there is always something to draw out and appreciate. And once I've had that realization, I know there will never come a time I am unable to appreciate what I am seeing.
But I confess I'm still at the beginning, yet looking forward to the rest of the journey ahead!
@@Noxiddar Good good:) It is only after a while you see the early episodes actually tried to build a fundation:)
Start watching one piece brother it'll change your life
This is what I love to hear!
I'm definitely ready!
Spoiler Read at your own risk
Joy Boy > Roger > Shanks > Luffy > Straw hat V (im assuming the youtuber claimed the fifth spot after luffy hence she named her channel Straw Hat V )
Wow not only he is scum spoiling himself before watching One Piece yet he watches usless Fairy Tail before OP. I mean FT has moments but getting it before OP?
You said it, somebody get Usopp in here to scrape this dude growing on the side on the boat like a barnacle in my side!
I would have done things WAY different than this guy! AND I would have wore more hats, too! Mad 😡
I bet he's only doing this for money and is secretly some bored wealthy rich guy who wants to sap even more of our money and ruin our beloved story!
And did you see how slow he was talking!? Dude, spit it out! Every other UA-camr can talk and not look like they are thinking.
Maybe he's an alien, come to think of it. This is some perverse mastermind plan to subvert our planet's population and subliminally send a message to prepare us for invasion.
He actually is the worst.
You're so right!
Take this comment with every grain of salt, it's just my feeling/opinion.
I honestly can't with the Avatar: The Blue Na'vi People-sounding music in this. It just feels too reverent for a series that doesn't take itself too seriously. It gives me a vibe that this was probably created by a One Piece elitist who I don't wish to associate with.
But I can be totally off the mark !
I certainly feel the reverence aspect. But I also think it fits because Adiemus has a kind of feeling of otherworldly sense immense scope. It moves from this floating woodwind to a female vocalist, showing the intimacy of CHARACTER until it hits the main chorus with evocative drums and chorus and strings showing the magnitude of the WORLD.
I think it's a brilliant song choice for showing the magical and imaginative nature of Oda's world because it gives that feeling of being transported somewhere so alien from what is familiar about our world.
Equating it to Avatar: Way of Water was more of a passing comment and not an absolute statement.
But as they say: Your Mileage May Vary
Holy crap you’re so eloquent. How have I not found you earlier? I will be NOW watching all of your videos.
This video captures a 25 years long adventure of millions of One Piece-Fans. 🥲
I'll definitely take my time AND take nothing for granted!
