The setup was perfection. The flashbacks, and slow zoom outs. It hangs on that wide shot in general silence for so long, so you think it's over...then that line is spoken and it's like a punch in the gut. Masterful.
He made himself and his workers cry while writing this. If Godda himself cries who are we mortals to deny our tears at this beautifully written masterpiece!?
Now im 35, saw this as a teenager... it still gets me to this day! matter of fact, so many things way harder when you watch the show as an adult, it is amazing
@@Rutabega_NGtrue. Never thought of that. This time, I started tearing up the moment Merry called out to Iceberg. The 1st time I cried was when I was reading the manga. What made me cry then was all the flashbacks. It hits much more coz I grew up with the crew during my teens. The volume this was in (Vol 44) came out in Dec 2006 (I Googled), so I was 17 at the time. By that time, I've been reading One Piece monthly for about 5 or 6 years..so reading all those panels with flashbacks to previous arcs and remembering all the adventures we had together..that was the 1st time I really bawled my eyes out from reading something..
This arc kept giving. Its been making audiences cry since the Luffy-Usopp argument, Usopp-Franky talk, Robin's backstory, Robin's heartwrenching scream, to this Merry returning and then dying business 😢😢😢
The crew has names! Robin now calls them by name instead of title. She finally feels safe. Spandam is _severely_ injured. Usually not a fan of revenge, but I'll make an exception for this one. This crew is so ridiculously strong. Even the ones who don't realize they're strong. Looking at you, Usopp.
as i was binge watching one piece 5 years ago, only a few episodes made me think i need a break from one piece. this was one of them. i remember after this episode i just turned off the tv and cried myself to sleep
Hey guys. A hell lot of fans never notices that and I don't know if you did, but before the events of Ennys Lobby, Robin always called the crewmates by their functions and never by their names. It was a defense mechanism for Robin to try to avoid feeling attached to them. Luffy used to be "Captain", Nami "Navigator", Chopper used to be called "Doctor" and so on. After the "I Want to Live" scene, Robin never again did that. She always call them by their names now. She accepted them as a family and now she feels accepted as well. Small details like that is what make Oda's writing so beautiful.
Since they are at thriller bark on patreon I won't be spoiling by talking about the following: There's another little detail that a lot of fans also don't notice. When Usopp apologizes and comes back into the crew, he also stops referring to himself as"Captain Usopp".
13:37 Loved your reaction at this part when Robin snaps his spine in half. Robin is indeed a badass. She learned the hard way. You make her or her friends miserable, she becomes your personal demon.
When I watched this episode for the first time, it really felt like losing a friend in real life at the time especially if you had been watching the show since episode 1 dropped on weekly basis... That was like years of being attached to that ship.
as a child who buried my own dog, 2 rabbits, 2 cats (who stayed until they die which is rare out of our 7 cats) and a bird, this episode back then really destroyed me. It’s not just pets, it is family, just like merry who is not just a ship, he is a true nakama
Lately I always tear up at Luffy’s speech to Merry at the end. Although I did cry during my first watch, I never understood it as well until I lost my dog recently- it died in my arms and all I could think about was how I could have taken better care of them. It just hurts more when you lose someone or something’s life that you were responsible for.
I felt like One Piece is one of a kind, it was so different from the others (imo). You cannot just ignore this great story from Oda sensei, I am great to be in the same era as One Piece ❤
We all feel exactly how you guys feel about this show. It is the most amazing and that's why we watch new Bs when the start watching for their reactions. We love this story and I can see you guys have fallen in love with it too. 😊❤ true nakamas
Great reaction! We always cry for Merry. But wait until you meet the "Thousand Sunny", youll fall in love immediately! ☀️😎 Cant wait to see you guys react to Thriller Bark and the Marineford War (the best storyarc)!
when me and my brother watch you guys watching the live action, we always discuss about this day, when you reach this episode.. ❤ we always imagining what will happen, Jason will always show his goosebumps, heather will shed a tears and you guys will end with silence..😂 and I would say, the real reaction makes all of us satisfy..🤗 thank you for the great reaction, even jason randomly said something amazing, that he want everyone experiencing what they feel with one piece. that's exactly, we, one piece fans always thought.. ❤❤ you're a true fans now
35:39 mother sea ost playing while merry saying sorry made the scene even sadder😭, the ship literally took them to the grandline and to the skies. it had a wonderful life and is very happy that the strawhats was its first and last sailors. Rip merry you'll never be forgotten❤
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but I believe that at the beginning of the Enies Lobby arc Oda leaked to all the fans that a Straw Hat would die in that arc, all fans were going crazy at the time, up until that episode people didn't believe him or whatever. I can almost guarantee that even with that major hint nobody was expecting an end like that. Man here I am once again at 35 years old and still crying for a boat.
the sea train that Paulie and others are riding to escape from Enies Lobby isn't Rocketman that crashed after flying in the air, but the Puffing Tom which CP9 used when taking Robin, Franky, Usopp as prisoners to Enies Lobby earlier.
Sanji admiring the results of his work, he also got surprised his idea worked so well lol also Sanji and Zoro using Luffy's body to stop cannonballs and all 3 making victory signs after it, that's real team work🤣
*sigh* Okay, I'm ready now. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm not ready. I'm never ready! Probably seen this a dozen times and I cannot get through it without sobbing. At least I don't have to take a week off from One Piece to recover. That was only the first time.
Merry's funeral always brings a tear to my eyes, no matter how many times I see it. Also yeah that scene with Robin breaking Spandam, it's just so good, like Robin is merciless, she doesn't have much on screen fights with named techniques of her, but I feel that makes them so special, because they also so specially brutal, always reserved to people who truly deserve it. "Demon Child" Nico Robin indeed.
This scene gets even better as time passes by. Thousand chapters later you look back and think of merry. Gets me more than when it even happened. Think of if the goodbye to a ship is that sad imagine how it would be saying goodbye to an actual crew member..
I can't believe this came out in 2007. 😢❤💔 I just watched the 25th anniversary video where they went over every year from 1999 to now currently in the anime. 17:55 I'm already crying 24:06 I wholeheartedly agree you would look great as Iceberg 24:51 if you notice that's the same injury Bellamy gave her back in Jaya 29:10 Agreed it truly is a wonderful adventure for everybody 😭👒 30:26 this goodbye makes me cry every time 35:20 💔😭😭😭😭😭gome...
On a parallel news..absorbed lots of news after the final Switch Direct from Nintendo, and oh it took the world by storm..pretty sure your gaming discord had some waves regarding Marvel vs Capcom 2 coming back. Been 36 hours of Non-stop reactions..Now I can finally see off Merry here✨
The We Cry over a boat Club grown up again. In Germany is the Going Merry, the Flying Lamb or nickname Lämbchen. I cry every time, i see it again. The the greatest piratship of all seas.
Notice how 1: Iceberg fixed the Merry. 2: The Merry survives long enough to see him again. 3: The Merry takes a bow towards Iceberg in thanks for letting her save her friends!
im trying so hard to get my parents to watch one piece. trying hard to have them watch live. Being a kid luffy and the strawhats were my role model growing up
how could you jason . . . even oda cried when he draw merry's funeral. 🥲🥲🥲 edit : jk, i knew from the start that jason not that easy to break. we'll see how long wil it takes, i got my eyes on u jason.🧐
31:27 this comment is funny, because they are still the same age! From the first episode to the end of water seven/enies lobby, more or less, only 1 and a half months passed.
In fact, the only thing that changed was the drawing style and not the age of the characters, because in the world of One Piece they have only been navigating together for a few months.
yes this is why the fandom is so adamant in making people watch one piece that it gets to the point of being obnoxious but we all do it out of love and respect for the show
For close to 20 years I've never been ashamed to say I cried at the funeral for Merry. It still gets me everytime
Only real men or women cry for the Merry. Merry lives on within us.. RIP MERRY 🥲
The funeral didn’t get me as much probably because I already cried when the merry saved them lol
You're a big baby
I will never forgive Usopp for missing Merrys funeral, how could he.
@@atastycloud Surely..
Welcome to " I cried over a boat " Club
Two new members were just added 😊😊
😂😂😂😂
Nothing hits u harder than the "gomen ne" from Merry. It is such a heart wrenching scene. Masterfully made. This arc is unforgettable
The setup was perfection. The flashbacks, and slow zoom outs. It hangs on that wide shot in general silence for so long, so you think it's over...then that line is spoken and it's like a punch in the gut.
Masterful.
Just imagine the live action in season (?) with this ending.
The next episo is on the next season😊😊
Oda the only author/writer that will make you cry over a damn boat 😭 We love you Merry!!
This is like saying we all cried over a reindeer or a gum gum boy. Merry was a character that even talked so yeah
We love Merry.but we will never forgive Usopp for missing Merrys funeral, how could he.
He made himself and his workers cry while writing this. If Godda himself cries who are we mortals to deny our tears at this beautifully written masterpiece!?
@@たた-c9z4vI forgive him. He was too overwhelmed to be there and was working on his own tribute (the song Fly, Merry, Fly)
"Merry, the seabed is dark and lonesome, so we'll watch you to the end" that was such a sweet and sad line🥲
29:37 what a beautiful sentiment. It such an amazing story and you nakama have so much more to enjoy!
Now im 35, saw this as a teenager... it still gets me to this day! matter of fact, so many things way harder when you watch the show as an adult, it is amazing
We actually say that in a video!
... hits even harder every time i re-watch it. 😭
... there's no other story like OnePiece
Hits harder and earlier

Nice what you did there.
@@6gradosproducciones Nice that someone noticed it 😂❤
THE WRITING AND STORY TELLING FROM ODA SENSEI IS UNMATCHED.... EVEN GEORGE LUCAS SAID ODA WAS ON ANOTHER LEVEL
When I watched this episode for the first time, it really felt like losing a friend in real life at the time especially if you had been watching the show since episode 1 dropped on weekly basis... That was like years of being attached to that ship.
The Going Merry, first appearance around 1998, the final around 2006..
8 years, or a few months for u, its the same feeling💫
When Luffy cries, I cry with him.
I cant help crying every time I see this. If someone doesnt cry with the Merry goodbye, doesnt have a heart
as a child who buried my own dog, 2 rabbits, 2 cats (who stayed until they die which is rare out of our 7 cats) and a bird, this episode back then really destroyed me. It’s not just pets, it is family, just like merry who is not just a ship, he is a true nakama
You guys are so heartwarming😊❤ Rewatching the series with you guys feels like comfort.

The Puffing Tom, leaving the destroyed Enies Lobby, quite a soothing scene, mission impossible success.
Merry. The boat that makes you cry. This saga is too good.
So imagine being what you know now and watching the live action for the first time. Seeing Merry in live action actually broke me.❤
When you glad op piece have over thousands episodes ❤
When you starts the anime you think "oh cmon 1000 ep?" and when you continue seeing it you think " i hope it have 2000 more" 😅
this is the reason why i cried when i see merry on live action.
We all feel exactly how you guys feel about this show. It is the most amazing and that's why we watch new Bs when the start watching for their reactions. We love this story and I can see you guys have fallen in love with it too. 😊❤ true nakamas
Goated comment
We’ve all experienced wanting to share One Piece with people we care about! I hope your parents enjoy it! ❤
No matter how many times we watch this, this hits really hard. 😢 best story ever made
I really hope the live action adaptation reaches this far into the source material.
Great reaction!
We always cry for Merry. But wait until you meet the "Thousand Sunny", youll fall in love immediately! ☀️😎
Cant wait to see you guys react to Thriller Bark and the Marineford War (the best storyarc)!
Merry apologizing and saying she wishes she could have taken them further hurts every damn time.
Going Merry is a Home .. also a Friend
The first time I watch it? It felt like I've lost everything .. its so sad... perfect writing
these guys lowkey the goat
Merry is not just a boat she is a G.O.A.T🥺😭
Actually...she's a sheep.
...
I apologize for the bad joke 😅 🙏🏿
when me and my brother watch you guys watching the live action, we always discuss about this day, when you reach this episode.. ❤ we always imagining what will happen, Jason will always show his goosebumps, heather will shed a tears and you guys will end with silence..😂 and I would say, the real reaction makes all of us satisfy..🤗 thank you for the great reaction, even jason randomly said something amazing, that he want everyone experiencing what they feel with one piece. that's exactly, we, one piece fans always thought.. ❤❤ you're a true fans now

the sea train that Paulie and others are riding to escape from Enies Lobby isn't Rocketman that crashed after flying in the air, but the Puffing Tom which CP9 used when taking Robin, Franky, Usopp as prisoners to Enies Lobby earlier.
Getting ur parents to watch is just legendary
Sanji admiring the results of his work, he also got surprised his idea worked so well lol also Sanji and Zoro using Luffy's body to stop cannonballs and all 3 making victory signs after it, that's real team work🤣
This story was gut-wrenching! 😭❤️
I cried as well
Checked upon Going Merry's VA..this was her first role in the show seemingly.
Now currently, she is the voice of Cindry in Thriller Bark for u.
Ah the "we cried over a boat" club, welcome.
Everytime. Everytime man, I can't with this episode. 😢
Celebrate good times come on! what i sing when i see a new video from yall!
welcome to the "i cried over a boat" club.. The one piece is real😭😭
Trust me man I feel ya. It’s always when luffy crys.. it’s tough
Great job guys, beautiful work
*sigh* Okay, I'm ready now.
Oh, who am I kidding? I'm not ready. I'm never ready! Probably seen this a dozen times and I cannot get through it without sobbing.
At least I don't have to take a week off from One Piece to recover. That was only the first time.
NOTE - Merry broke the same way Belemy's crew destroyed at Jaya.
Damn every reactors that I watched,went it come to this episode...,it's always make me cry...
Merryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
35 yr old man here an I cry everytime I see this lol
ONE PIECE FOR LIFE!! BC ONE PIECE IS LIFE!! 3:08 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Merry's funeral always brings a tear to my eyes, no matter how many times I see it.
Also yeah that scene with Robin breaking Spandam, it's just so good, like Robin is merciless, she doesn't have much on screen fights with named techniques of her, but I feel that makes them so special, because they also so specially brutal, always reserved to people who truly deserve it. "Demon Child" Nico Robin indeed.
I’m crying I started watching you two from live action and now already got chopper plushies 😭❤ I don’t know I am soo happy and excited!!!
You would never thought a ship would made you cry.... It's been a long time when I saw this for the first time...
This scene gets even better as time passes by.
Thousand chapters later you look back and think of merry.
Gets me more than when it even happened.
Think of if the goodbye to a ship is that sad imagine how it would be saying goodbye to an actual crew member..
But merry is an actual crewmember
I can't believe this came out in 2007. 😢❤💔
I just watched the 25th anniversary video where they went over every year from 1999 to now currently in the anime.
17:55 I'm already crying
24:06 I wholeheartedly agree you would look great as Iceberg
24:51 if you notice that's the same injury Bellamy gave her back in Jaya
29:10 Agreed it truly is a wonderful adventure for everybody 😭👒
30:26 this goodbye makes me cry every time
35:20 💔😭😭😭😭😭gome...
Never thought someone was able to write a story and make me cry over a boat. oDa did!
This scene never fails to make me emotional, right now I am crying at work and my boss is asking me why.
34:31 Man Jason hit the nail on the head here, if only he knew how right he was.
On a parallel news..absorbed lots of news after the final Switch Direct from Nintendo, and oh it took the world by storm..pretty sure your gaming discord had some waves regarding Marvel vs Capcom 2 coming back.
Been 36 hours of Non-stop reactions..Now I can finally see off Merry here✨
The We Cry over a boat Club grown up again.
In Germany is the Going Merry, the Flying Lamb or nickname Lämbchen.
I cry every time, i see it again.
The the greatest piratship of all seas.
ich glaube du meinst lämmchen und nicht lämbchen
In the manga. Some cover stories are of the merry. A fish shows the merry luffys bounty while merry is at the bottom of the ocean
bro yaps too much when she's crying lol
Welcome to the we cried over a boat squad 😅😅
You could only imagine this episode for folks that watched one piece from the beginning.
Strawhat 4 Life. Your journey here has been fun. It just keeps getting better.
Notice how 1: Iceberg fixed the Merry. 2: The Merry survives long enough to see him again. 3: The Merry takes a bow towards Iceberg in thanks for letting her save her friends!
im trying so hard to get my parents to watch one piece. trying hard to have them watch live. Being a kid luffy and the strawhats were my role model growing up
one piece is the greatest show ever. and it's not even over yet.
how could you jason . . . even oda cried when he draw merry's funeral. 🥲🥲🥲
edit : jk, i knew from the start that jason not that easy to break. we'll see how long wil it takes, i got my eyes on u jason.🧐
Robins get back is one of my favorite moments
Thanks Goodbye Going Merry
we all cried when one of the straw hats died.ove u merry❤❤❤.
Jason could definitely do a killer Ice Pops cosplay!
This is why Oda is in the top 10 fiction writers . Probably one of the best story teller to ever exist ....
We 💯 AGREE with this ❤️❤️
Imagine the dream of many, this adapted to the cinema LIVE ACTION 😭😭
31:27 this comment is funny, because they are still the same age! From the first episode to the end of water seven/enies lobby, more or less, only 1 and a half months passed.
This in the live action will hit HARD 🔥
LMAO calling zoro moss head i love it! And Sanji so clutch! we always need him but he is always play chess not checkers
Hey Nakamas ❤
Robin-swaaaaan i love you.
Brasil is here 😂 best channel.
This hits double if you knew someone who died ahead of his time..
Everyone gangster until merry says "im sorry".
In fact, the only thing that changed was the drawing style and not the age of the characters, because in the world of One Piece they have only been navigating together for a few months.
yes this is why the fandom is so adamant in making people watch one piece that it gets to the point of being obnoxious but we all do it out of love and respect for the show
25:48 "This is that episode, ok". *Grabs tissue paper*
So. Real.
I crying every time I watch this scene 😢
We'll never forget you Merry 😭😭😭
Back in the day no one expected to say goodbye to Merry UwU
The death to a strawhat gave birth to a knew one :)
