    1:16:20 In Enies Lobby after Spandam’s speech and before telling Sogeking to shoot the flag Luffy says “I understand Robin’s enemies very well” in reference to the world government. I’ve always imagined he was remembering what Dadan said and what happened to Sabo.

    It's kinda odd how Ace gets more posthumous development than he did while he was alive, but it actually works really well imo. it puts the focus and emotional weight of the Marineford saga for a first-time reader entirely on Luffy and his struggle to save his brother.
    Then when you reread it with a better understanding of Ace as a character, it just _hits different_

    Oda himself went on vacation with his family to Hawaii & the series was on break for 4 weeks.

And now with Luffy at his lowest point, his heart needs to be saved and I so so so much love that his crew is now willing to put everything to the side (Zoro his pride, Usopp his fear, Sanji his current problems on the island etc etc) just to help Luffy out.
    It's like a " Thank You" from his crew, cause he helped them all out and now It's their turn to help him out and make Luffy King of the Pirates!

    Edit: Case in point they literally just called back to that scene where Luffy said what he wants but they didn't show it you just see Sabo and Ace's reaction on the last episode 1015 which I'm sure you've heard by now some consider to be the best episode of One Piece ever.

    The theory with the cutaway is that Luffy shouted his true dream. Notice every time he says "I'm going to become king of the pirates" not "my dream is to become king of the pirates". It's theorized that being kotp is just a means to an end and his true dream is still a mystery.

      This isn't even a theory at this point in the story so much as it's an abject fact. Ace tells Luffy during his death that he laments the he won't be able to see "the goal at the end" of Luffy's dream. Luffy intends to be the Pirate King, so it goes without saying that the goal at the end of that dream is something else. People have been talking about this since Marineford was being published weekly.

    Another reason for the S being crossed out is that the crossed out S was what Sabo used as a jolly roger, he also signed the letter he sent with the crossed out S, so it's possible that Oda never even intended for it to represent that he died, even though pretty much everyone interprets it that way

    Hey guys, great reaction and review as always. It’s nice to see Mehgan come around to Luffy’s character, except her original opinion of Luffy was quite odd. A normal person who hasn’t seen many shonen wouldn’t understand why Luffy is the main character of such a grand story whereas the side characters who literally represent relatability and hardship and realism are much more interesting to her than Luffy based solely because she understands them
    Even after Luffy is explained she still doesn’t understand him. Luffy is similar to many popular shonen protagonist, they’re joyful and dumb like you’re watching a one dimensional cartoon character who always causes immature problems. The world and other characters in One piece serve to be the foil to the MC as the goofy protagonist constantly battle their ideas and logic with childhood innocence. Luffy’s character is hard to understand unless you’ve watched many shonen protagonist similar to him. But that’s not all…
    Even with this logic, Luffy wouldn’t be an interesting protagonist as a trope copy. What People love about Luffy is that he isn’t a copy since chapter 1. At times he acts like a goofy child as you’d expect from the trope, but sometimes he’s rough and blunt with people, children, woman, and speaks as if he’s as mature as a wise man in his 40’s in a way you’d never expect
    His goofy character and copy of the trope always keeps you on your toes because he flips a switch, he gets super serious and speaks FACTS, which shrouds his beliefs and where he learned them in mystery. The play on the goofy goody kid trope and super maturity, and yet free spirit with grounded thoughts who saves anyone at any cost is what makes Luffy a great character. The traits on Luffy is usually only seen on goofy kid characters after many many experiences, but here you see it from the start.
    Don’t need to read this part:
    (What I’m basically saying is that Luffy is similar to Isekai, you like fantasy Isekai but it’s always a carbon copy from a previous Isekai, you watch so many that you get bored and the plot becomes outrageous and predictable but the story built around that trope is always fun. But one day someone flips those expectations on your head, and makes a deep, dark, serious and unexpected story out of a predictable boring but fun trope. That’s Luffy, he’s half: the old goofy kid shonen trope many enjoy. And he’s half: the modern shonen trope where everything is different, serious, deep, and mature. If the trope is fresh to you then the appeal may not be there)

      Indeed. I rewatch and reread skypiea and impel down. I even watch the movies. When i say EVEN, I watch the drum island movie too. Lol. It really does feel like 2 years.

    So arcs after the timeskip tend to be pretty long (with some notable exceptions)
    Don't feel like you have to fit 80+ chapter arcs into one podcast episode when working your way through them.

    if you remember the scene of Zoro vs Mr. 1 in the ability to sense presence in things, and also his ability to tell apart the cursed blade without being told, is pretty sure the predecessor concepts to Mantra or Haki, which then he honed it in sort of from Skypeia and then much later introducing Haki in its entirety.

    When I was younger and I first read this Arc week to week I was so disappointed because I didn't appreciate the story and I just wanted action. Growing up I've learned to appreciate this story, not only does this show you Luffy's history but it also hints to his future.

      I was week to week as of Sabaody and I specifically remember people complaining about this arc. Everyone expected Shonen tropes because of Bleach and Naruto. Not much has changed oddly enough.

    Suggestion on what to do for a video before you come back from the time skip is to go through some of the foreshadowing that has been paid off and where the seed was planted. Also good time to theorize if you've noticed anything that you expect to be foreshadowing and keep a checklist to see if it ever does come back up.

    The thing about Black Beard is that he’s what a pirate is supposed to be. He’s evil, sneaky and doesn’t play by the established rules. Luffy and Whitebeard, etc are the outliers. Most people in the One Piece world deal with Black Beards regularly.

    I just wanted to point out that Kuma mentions Dragon after the nothing happens scene on Thriller Bark. He says something to the effect of “he’s got loyal crew mates, I’d expect nothing less from your son, Dragon.” I also like to point out how broken of a combo Iva and Kuma together would be. You could get injections from Iva to keep fighting while Kuma periodically expels the strain and pain it would put on your body. Talk about OP, I can’t wait to really learn about Dragon and what he’s about.

    Oda told us about the 3 kinds of Haki all the way back on Drum Island.
    Chopper: "Doctor, What's a pirate?"
    Dr. Hiluluk: "A pirate? Pirates are great men of the sea. They have a body hard like stone, the eyes of an eagle, and a voice that tears the sky asunder!" 😮

    I like to believe that the crossed S on Ace's tattoo is more of a direct reference to the flag Sabo rises when he departs to sea rather than a way of saying "he ded now :/".
    Aside from that, Post-Marineford has always been one of my go to arcs when feeling down or needing some perspective; it's brimming with emotion and nostalgia yet also with hope for the future. It truly is a perfect epilogue to the first half of the series in my opinion.
    Loving to hear your thoughts on it, as per usual. Congrats on the channel's growth and welcome to the New World!

    So friggin HYPE for you guys to finally be in the New World with us!! Banger moments and can think of at least 10 great cosplays for both of you. Really exciting.
    Agree w the others who would like a retrospective eppy. Between where you are and the latest chapter theres no other time that would make sense to do it except now. Esp if it could mean updated Done-Piece art ☠️. I was thinkin itd be cool seeing the V1 Jolly Rancher on either side of the V1 sign? Would be centered w the new camera angles and could help move merch.

    Did you guys notice on the close up of the straw hat, there are three visible slashes on the top part? It's the same damage Buggy did way back in Orange Town. It doesn't matter at all to the plot but it's still baffling to see Oda's attention to detail like that.
    Also, those 3 marks appear on Luffy figures as well. Not on every Luffy figure but I appreciate the ones that do have it.

    I like to think that the crossed out S on Ace's tattoo is Sabo's Jolly Roger.
    Also, something to note here, when Marco and Vista attacked Akainu with haki to defend Luffy, the attacks seem to go thorugh Akainu and he just seemed annoyed. A similar thing occured when Whitebeard stabbed Aokiji. Just something to think about.

    The next arc, Return to Sabaody, it’s my favorite arc. For me the comedy is top tier for One Piece and the hype for the reunion is through the roof. I also implore you guys to watch the anime episodes for this arc. Because there are some imposter and some VAs get swapped around and I think it would be interesting for you guys to guess who is voicing who and reveal your guesses during the next review and confirm them.

    27:34 S was crossed out but also × means Jolly Roger and friends through the series.

    Luffy was like “no matter happened this shows our friendship on the name of the mark”.

  • @HerculesOfHate

    One of my favorite things about this arc is we finally find out why Luffy hates cowards and cry babies.... its because Ace told him that he hates people like that and he changed himself to be the opposite of those things.
    PS: Croco mom theory fits a little too well to be ignored. Its possible Crocodile was just extremely frustrated and taking it out on the Navy... but he REALLY had no reason to save Luffy and Jimbei and then to say "you need to protect those you want to protect".

      Please tell me you realize that it's a joke theory.
      Why would Croc kill his own "son".
      Also Oda said that Luffy's mom didn't appear in the story yet and he is not even sure if she ever will or is even alive.

    One piece is my favourite series ever.
    I tend to be not that emotional. Pretty stoic. But whenever I see those emotional moments in one piece I start shedding tears.
    It is an incredible series and oda is a genius
