The double entendre of 'running' and also doing the Nika dance is some of Oda's best visual work, what a genius play.
I would also give to it another meaning of Kuma tripping in the third strip of that page when it's implied that Ginney is no longer with them. Oda is a mischevious talent in writing and drawing impactful scenes.
edit: minor spelling
@@andrezzz_the thing about a great artist is that people can interpret their art in so many different ways and it still makes sense
Calling it a "double entendre" usually implies a different kind of second meaning, lol
The running part is even better now after reading chapter 1103
Oda is villainous for this
Using Pudding's devil fruit of memory strip, and Kuma's life on it as well as Kuma tied to all those mechanical cables, was a genius artistic choice.
I’m 😊
😊o
who said they used puddings memory fruit ?
Pudding hasn’t been mentioned since Kuzan kidnapped her from Whole Cake Island. Fun theory but not what happened as far as we’ve been told

I lost my dad in October and Kuma reminds me of him in so many ways. A big self sacrificing guy with a heart of gold. I cried so hard reading this chapter. I've been waiting to find out more about Kuma for over 16 years and it did not disappoint. What a phenomenal character.
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤ Kuma reminds me a lot of my dad as well, he’s such a special character
I agree that is the most beautiful thumbnail image yet, the artist knocked it out of the park!
Jessica!! Happy Holidays and much love always!!
@@iamrayvell3052 happy holidays!
happy holidays@@booksandtropes nice to see you here...do a podcast with merphy
I really want to see you 2 doing a One Piece discussion together someday.
I freaking agree man I cried so much with my girlfriend especially that she just caught up fudge man I really just wish I could do more for others and hate when I cannot help
That panel of Kuma running made me bawl. I haven't shed a tear this hard for One Piece in a long while and this wrecked me. I can't wait to see this animated.
EDIT: ALSO, HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! SEE Y'ALL NEXT YEAR FOR ANOTHER BANGER ONE PIECE YEAR!
If merphy keep reading scans we should have 1 more this year 👀 merry christmas!
Him thanking Bonney for being born still hits me harder.
But this entire flashback wants to make our eyes dry. One thing after the other.
Just be prepare of Memories playing on the background when this Kuma Piece finale get animated
na bro o ne more incoming@@randomviewerignore4729
The page where Kuma's life flashes before him is so well done, I don't know where to even start. The fact that it shows Kuma running and huffing just like he has been struggling through his whole life. the way he lowers his head as if he's flinching when he remembers Ginny, the fact that his run is mimicking the Nika dance as if he's trying to encourage himself with the only source of hope he ever wished for.
I think this my favorite page of the year if not the whole manga
I think what makes it more powerful for me is that Kuma didn't KNOW that Luffy is Nika, he BELIEVED in it, Luffy's actions are what made him believe in him, not the fact that he's the goofy rubber boi we all love.
Also, something I know won't be talked as much because of all the incredible moments in this chapter is the Vegapunk moment, for me seeing him bein the all cheery scientist we know with Kuma saying what's life without some nuisances to immedaitely breaking down in tears and barely able to do IT made me rethink his whole character.
There are certain chapters I read and immediately get hyped for a particular youtuber to review it. Chapter 1102 immediately had me wanting to see your review Ma'am. You're the one that I rely on for emotionally driven/ thought provoking reactions and this one did not disappoint. I feel like we all took a gut punch on Christmas 😅😂
That means so much to me, thank you ❤
You've put into words the exact thing I've been thinking ever since Merphy started reviewing OP, absolutely spot on!!
@mayurmadiwalar8978 when I cried, I knew the review was going to be great. I just wish i saw a live reaction
Felt the exact same! Even moreso after hearing BDA law's review. No way this doesn't affect Murph even more.
@merphynapier42 also I Love the Christmas Alien Sweater! 👽💜 I'm wearing one rn of Santa DJing at a rave 😂
The most heartbreaking moment for me that I'm surprised wasn't mentioned is at the end of the chapter. Kuma says, "How much of a nuisance was I?" Then seeing his life of love and hope flash in front of us. Then Vegapunk seeing these memories, crying as he flips the switch. In Kuma's mind, he was no one important, not realizing how much of an impact he had on others and the warmth he brought. Those last few pages broke my heart. Then seeing the last panel of Bonney--remembering that this wasn't just a flashback, but something Bonney actually witnessed. That was the icing on a cake baked with tears!
Happy Holidays, everyone! Let's prepare for the New Year fast approaching!
we started the year with Kuma and ended it with Kuma also Bonney's introduction being the first time we see her and also the last time Kuma sees her makes it exceptional
2023 was definitely the Year of Kuma. 🐻
You ever think Oda just finishes a chapter, leans back, and goes "Damn, I'm good"? Because Oda has basically set the stage so well here that he'd have to actively try to screw it up. Kuma could be dead and it would be the most tragic thing in the story and it'd be amazing. Kuma could get his memories back and we'd be so happy that he finally got a break and it'd be amazing.
I think he's said that he cries at his own chapters so he was probably as emotional as us.
The last page turn struck me with uncontrollable tears. I remained pretty stoic throughout the chapter but I've never been so suddenly moved to tears by a story. Bravo Oda. And thanks and Merry Christmas to you Merphy.
Same here
Same, I didn't know what was happening. Kuma's Story is going to HURT in the anime lmao 😂
The last few pages of this pages really broke me 😢😭. Seeing Bonney and vegapunk cry for Kuma as he smiles.. knowing Bonney is probably realizing she just officially killed her dad getting rid of his memories 😭
Except his memories live inside of her. Which is beautiful. Let's remember what Dr Hiruluk "A man only dies if he is forgotten!".
I need Saturn to get the absolute SMACK! for what he did to the best dad in this story. Luffy or/and Bonnie give him the Charlos treatment, PLEASE!
I don’t see that as Bonney killing Kuma. Kuma and his memories will live on in his daughter.
@@sebastianmartinez5508exactly. And Kuma can always make another copy of it from Bonney.
So still true in a less philosophical sense aswell.
In this chapter it states that the memories he pushed out are copies, and while yes, he could be lying, I seriously doubt it. She just got to see them.
I often struggle with crying or hard emotional reactions on the first read/watch of something. But this chapter had me tearing up in no time. Its just the thought of this very pure man, willing to sacrifice and fight for people ending up with the most tragic of lives and not being allowed to live as he pleases. Kuma was quite literally a saint and he was tortured for the most evil of reasons. The most common phrase I hear when it comes to Kuma in this story has been "He deserved better" and I think it truly sums up everything we all think when it comes to his character. He just unfairly had everything taken from him, and even though he took it and carried on being a good person he still continued upon tragedy after tragedy. Kuma might not have been Nika or Joyboy..... but he was pretty damn close as far as liberators go.
And not only was Kuma just like Nika in nature; Luffy would never have been able to become Nika if it were not for the repeated actions of Kuma helping him and his crew become stronger. In many respects, Kuma is just as an important part of bringing the dawn as Luffy (and Luffy's crew) is.
I didn't cry but this chapter definitely had me choked up. No other moment in One Piece has done even that. Even though there has been a lot of emotional backstories and moments.
I honestly think that this gem is one of the best chapters in One Piece history. Oda made literally every single one of his fans cry while also changing our perspective on key events of the story so far. Every single aspect of this chapter, from story to panelling and drawings, was 10/10. Absolutely brilliant and Oda is a madman.
This chapter was the first time in a long time that I was crying along with a manga in a way that was literally crying in an ugly way, just couldn't stop myself from going "no, no, oh god no" in a outloud manner, leaving me audibly in pain in my room.
It was just so powerful, I couldn't believe it.
Best flashback, the best character, and probably my fav panel of the entire series.
Merry Christmas everyone!
What I like about the Kuma discovering Luffy aspect of this is that it doesn’t necessarily have to be destiny. It seems like anyone can be Nika and Luffy just so happened to be the one to fulfill what it means to be Nika.
Great chapter. I can’t wait for the next year of this series.
Someone said, in panels Kuma's running, he thinks of Ginny and stumbles but then thinks of Bonney and picks himself up. Dude's the perfect father.
Also, I'm in awe of how wonderful compositions Tissine comes up with for each ONE of her PIECEs.
Edit - The guy who originally said that is fool_ish, he commented this under Grandline Review's chapter review video of 1102
That made me begin crying and then the very next page I became a wreck
I also saw that comment, and it hits so much harder when you think of it like that.
It isn't just that, if you connect every pannel of him running, you actually get the Nika dance. This was a subtle way of showing that he actually fulfilled his dream of being just like his hero. From the moment he was born, he was fighting for others and bringing smiles to those he met.
Personally, the last Kuma Running panel looked more like someone who's exhausted, but they are doing a dead sprint with the last ounce of energy they have. That was Kuma sprinting to get that cure for Bonney.
Ah yes, the one thing I needed most on Christmas day: tears of sadness
this chapter make me cry everytime. the running part was especially emotional.
Disney, take a lesson on how to write compelling characters that the audience will connect with. our time with Kuma was very short in the grand scheme of the Manga, yet he just shot up to all our top 20's and maybe top 10's favorite character lists.
Definitely #1 on the OP dad's list 😭😭😭
All that matters to Disney is being a Strong Women Tm. Screw being a well written character
@@audreym3908Nah Vinsmoke Judge clears
Merry Christmas to everyone besides the celestial dragons, especially the Gorosei, not to mention "Happy 10th Birthday Bonney" gonna be one of those lines that carries on throughout the rest of the story.
The page turn to Kuma Running was so moving. I cried so much ❤
Yes merphy they bonnie pirates know that she is 10 years old. The main crewmembers that are seen are also shown taking care of her when she was in child form. Furthermore in this chapter they even tell her the lipstick looks good knowing she isnt skilled with it by complimenting to feel like an adult woman. Theyre nice to her like uncles
She was technically 9 and a 1/2 when she first started piracy.
That artist is SOOOOOO freaking amazing. Every single picture you've shown us has been masterpieces. I would love to see pages of their artwork. It's just beautiful, every single one so far.
Edit: I may have realized I'm dumb and should've just checked the description LoL. Gotta go follow yes yes
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
Anyways, Bonney already know that Luffy is Nika. Well technically, Bonney knows that Luffy will be the one saving the world. I would really like Bonney to join the Straw Hats for a little bit
And Bonney sudden change of attitude towards the Straw Hats make sense now. I feel like Bonney can be happy forever even if Kuma dies. Because of Luffy
Kuma's flashback is automatic 10000/10. Kuma is the best written character, Kuma's character is just amazing
If Bonney is an official strawhat or not is the only question for me, because I 100% think Bonney will be on the Sunny for the foreseeable future.
All I think about is how kuma deserves so much better!!!! But man his actions just are such an inspiration to the rest of us!!! Thank you oda for this story it really tugs my heartstringt
This is the Chapter review i have been waiting for. Thank you, Merphy 😊
❤
Gods I cried so much for this chapter ! Just remembering the last scenes already makes my eyes water 😢
It truly just couldn't have been better.
What great art ! Merry Christmas !!!
Merry Christmas, Merphy!!! 🎄💕
Literally cried on Christmas Eve because of this chapter. There were little flashbacks of major events from Kuma's POV. It was heartwarming and heartbreaking, at the same time. Still, the chapter is so fitting for Christmas Season - the hope that Kuma had for a better future, selfless love he had for Bonney and his loved ones, the faith in the familial relationship and comradeship between the characters in this chapter. What a chapter indeed.
I'm just now realizing, Kuma had a target literally put on his back when he was younger.
Once he got older he put the target on his front. Kuma would always be first to take a hit for someone. Self-sacrifice was his defining characteristic.
When vegapunk had to correct kuma when he started talking about how he must of caused trouble for the people in his life i couldn't help but yell along side vegapunk.
Through it all he still worried about others over himself. I cant really put into words how much i admire his character
Respect for Oda for pulling of the saddest and also best storyarc in OP so far (my opinion) even tho we're already 1000+ chapters in. Ginny's death chapter and the latest one were the first and genuinely had to shed a tear even tho it wasn't the anime. With all the OST's I don't think I'll be ready if it airs 😂 The whole backstory was a a perfect way to show different kinds of love and what they can achieve. Kuma and Ginny's love started of ass innocent love between friends or family and slowly turned to romantic love. The time both spend with each other helped them live happily despite the Horrors they endured during their time as child slaves and later on, the love Ginny had for Kuma saved her during her time in captivity always knowing whatever she has to go trough, she always knows she has Kuma. And for Kuma, having her by her side and his love for his people in sorbet made him so strong and feared, without loosing his kind nature. And even when he lost her and stumbled which was PERFECTLY illustrated in this one panel at the end of the chapter, his love for Bonney as her father and her as his daughter helped him to stand up and continue with his life. And for Bonney. Just imagine you're 10 years old and learn the sad origin of your birth. Having such loving parents who BOTH sacrificied their lives in order for you to live has to be not only a burden but most importantly the biggest blessing you could ever hope for. English isn't my native languag, I can't put these words perfectly like and there's so much more to say about Kuma's and Bonney's Story but what I can say is, that I can't remember the last time where to theme of love has been better depicted as in this backstory. And like Kuma said: he entruts the rest to both Luffy and Bonney so I'm 100% they're gonna end his story in they way he deserves.
Well, she's 12 now, but it's still very much a lot for a child.
Merry Christmas everyone!!
It was a really bad move to read this chapter in the middle of a family meeting, I was holding the tears there the whole time T-T
Perfect way to end this flashback and this year's chapters, hopefully we get more suffering next year as well
I cried again watching your review. Kuma is such a pure soul and i want him himself to hit Saturn...
Merry Christmas!!! Merphy to you and your family
I read this chapter last week and I thought I'll have enough time to process it and won't tear up everytime anymore but I was wrong. What a way to end the year.
I'd like this moment to appreciate the fact that Oda gave us such a year and ended the year in such a high and tragic note. This chapter couldn't have been easy to draw for Oda, so thank you for going through this heart break for us Oda as well.
You wanted to see kuma's flashback the most and now seeing you loving it so much is so satisfying. Peak piece never disappoints.
I have watched so many reactions already, and in every single one i shed a tear just for remembering that last part, man, that one hurt me
It’s amazing the Oda is able to get the entire community together to feel the exact emotions he wanted us to feel. I don’t think anyone who finished the chapter had dry eyes.
Merry Christmas Merphy! This chapter broke me
How you described Kuma launching the Straw Hats reminded me of how Oden launched the scabbards. Both rescued people they trusted to bring the world a better future, knowing well that they wouldn't see that future themselves.
Your artist is doing an amazing job. That piece is so beautiful and unique. Great interpretation of what we got in the manga.
Merry Christmas! And thanks for posting on Christmas. Oda has been killing it with the Flashbacks, we all knew Kuma’s wouldn’t disappoint. Keep up the great work.
Only Oda can turn a character into an all time great with a single flashback. What a LEGEND!
Lmfao yeah, did the same with Corazon and Oden aswell
@@Cynical_Wayne and Señor Pink
Her crew knows she's a 12 year old (10 before the timeskip) considering they've seen her grow up but that's why they follow her, because they care for her safety
Merphy just talking about this chapter again and those last panels made me sob again!!!! This was in fact the perfect chapter and I think you captured the essence of it by analyzing the true pain Kuma went through and his heart-warming altruism that was there 'till the very end.
I feel like Kuma didn't know for sure. But he channeled his hope into faith. 🌻I already couldn't listen to Memories without getting teary eyed but now the lines 'I was singing since I was a child, the secret melody that was imitated by everyone, maybe this time we could play it better' make me feel like, for me, it's become Bonney's song.
Oda still knows how to create the emotional gut punch. I was crying like a baby the entire chapter. The best backstory in all of One Piece bar none. Kuma is top 1.
I think oda heard people saying he doesn't kill off characters so he decided to take it personally and broke everyones hearts
You know, when Who's Who first brought up the Nika stuff and the Gear 5 stuff was initially revealed, i remember a lot of people were calling it an asspull. I'm just so happy that as this Kuma flashback and Egghead have gone on, we have seen how this stuff has always been the goap of the story. How it relates to Skypeia, and how Kuma's entire character revolves around Nika. It's feels so planned and thoughtful from Oda and it almost makes you feel like you've been missing it the whole time. I have rewatched parts of One Piece from time to time and now when i watch it, it feels like every arc and every couple of episodes, there is a reference to the sun, freedom and some sort of power Luffy has
Realizing how important luffy was to Kuma, and how much he wanted to help them at sabaody also adds so much emotional weight to the last thing he says to luffy before pawing him away - "you and I will never meet again". Poor Kuma 😭😭
I'm so happy that as I heard there was a flashback going on I stopped reading to just read it in one go it was such a good read
this chapter is powerful af as it is, cant wait to see this animated
Really put into words what i felt about this chapter, Merry Christmas!
During the slid show kuma gets weaker and weaker and after ginny he fell almost down but he remembered Bonney and gained strength and begun running straight. Bonney gave him those strength
Best Dad 😭
I think Bonney joins the the crew as an apprentice pirate! It’s been teased a lot in Wano with all the kids that wanted to join Luffy’s crew.
1. Both Roger and White beard had apprentice Pirates.
2. Bonney now knowing what her dad sacrificed for Luffy she’ll most likely would want to support him.
3. Finding the Sun god was one of her original goals.
Damn this chapter shattered my walled off heart. Kuma's sacrifice hit on a another level. He gave everything he had and so much more to not only save his daughter but also Luffy and his crew. I love that before anyone really knew that Luffy was the next Nika he figured it out only on the basis that Luffy stands up to the powers that be and befriends everyone that isn't an evil asshole. He knew if anyone was gonna free the world and bring the dawn that's been waiting to occur for over 800 years it was gonna be Luffy. IDK what God or devil Oda sold his soul to to be able to write a story this amazing. Crazy to think after 26 years of making One Piece he still leaves us guessing. I've said it many times and I'll keep saying it, Oda is the GOAT!
0:00 Oda is on the naughty list XD
Merry Christmas! Hope you and the family have lovely holidays!
Bonney received every single letter Kuma wrote to her.
Oooh she did! She fucking did! I am crying so hard 😭
Nah this made me cry forreal when i saw bonney crying
Merry Christmas to the rat queen Murphy, the goat Left chapter was incredibly incredibly happy, but sad at the same time. This entire flashback has made me feel so many emotions that I can’t even put into words half the time.
Sweet swearshirt Merphy KUDOS and a CAT FREE video aw well!!! More importantly MAD RESPECT _tissine...you and Merphy makes a good team. Such awesome artwork!!
Kuma really said it! "HE IS HIM."
Kuma's back story reminds me so much of the movie The green mile, a gentle giant who takes people's pain away, got accused, both are slaves, both are man of God, and the scene where Vega punk is crying is basically the final moment of John Coffey
Happy 10th birthday 😭😭😭😭😭
Bonney hanging out with a bunch of wolves and all the Nika references reminded me of the silhouette of Luffy looking like Nika dancing with the wolves around the bonfire in Skypia.
It takes a very good manga to even get me teary eyed. And here comes Kuma's backstory, made do a full on one piece cry.
I knew nothing about One piece until the Live Action. Delved more into one of those "size characters of One Piece" videos about the characters. Just on looks........Brook and Kuma fascinated me..........well.........I don't know what to think about any of it now. Brook was mostly curiousity trying to figure out what the live action would do........and then I found out about Laboon.
Kuma is easily one of the coolest looking character looks I have ever seen in any media. .......................
Merry Christmas!
Yes, the Bonney pirates know she's only 10. Her crew are all from the Sorbet Kingdom. Most of them grew up with Kuma!
Thanks for not trying to completely restrain your emotions. I really felt it... made it so much better as a review.
Kuma Backstory Top 1.
How how right Vegapunk was when he said there was nothing but pain in that bubble.
"Do it for her"- Homer J Simpson - Bartholomew Kuma
Merry Christmas and such a BEAUTIFUL review. Thank you for being a One Piece fan.
Made Me tear up all over again!
This is the deepest Oda has wounded me since ace. Maybe deeper, if not for the pure agony and distress luffys voice actor poured from her soul in those scenes.
Kuma is the best of us.
I've always known one piece was sad and would fuck me up emotionally but this chapter was the first time I've cried while reading it
Shout out to the artwork for these recent videos, they are f*cking awesome. And a big shout out to Merphy for the idea, clearly great artwork isn't free.
Kuma, life flashing before his eyes, stumbles at the thought of ginny, but remembers bonney and stands up proud into the sun will make me cry in the anime
merry christmas merphy!!!
this chapter ruined me - i knew that it was only going to get sadder but UGH
seeing vegapunk, sentomaru and the whole egghead staff salute as vegapunk sobs before he turns kuma into machine is heartbreaking and kuma telling him to wish bonney a happy birthday?
tears
even as im writing this
devastating
If you recall earlier chapters right after Bonney saw Kuma's memories, she was very joyful talking to Luffy and Luffy was like "weren't you crying just a second ago?" I think that could be related to Kuma telling Vegapunk that his mark in the world will be saving Luffy and Bonney, so Bonney realized "hey, I'm here with the rubber man my dad liked so much, helping him out, he would be proud". I think Bonney's gonna start treating Luffy like a big bro, kinda lile Tama did
Oh my god, the art is immaculate
I want to frame it, one of the best One Piece fanarts i've seen for sure
The art you showed was just perfect. As was this flashback. Pure perfection.
The final panel with Bonney crying; making you realize that this wasnt a mere flashback, but Bonney learning the truth about her father was perfect. Oda showing his mastery of the craft. Perfection
the fact that after reading one piece she made a dedicated channel makes me happy
"Airdrop on the dark side" lol!! Am crying 😂😂
Oda decided to give us tears for Christmas and it was beautiful.
I can't believe i missed this video when it came out 😭 but now i can't wait to see what you have to say about 1103.. i know its not officially out yet but i personally read it first and then read the official release later
"Your life has not caused anyone harm, but your death will bring pain to everyone who loves you." Is such a powerful line. For me, it's right up there with "When does a man die...".
On that note, a man does not die when his individuality and sense of self is erased from his body. A man dies when he's forgotten, and Kuma will never be forgotten.
Merry Christmas to Merphy and everyone else! The last couple months has made Kuma one of the greatest characters in any manga, maybe in any fiction 🤣, his life was nothing but pain but he just always stayed so positive and happy, always trying to do good and save people in this dark world, he has become one of my favorite characters EVER!!
Wow tell your artist great job on the art piece for the thumbnail
The anticipation of seeing Saturn crushed before our eyes is bubbling over right now
11:45 that art piece is beautiful omg wow
On the day of Christmas my mangaka gave to me: a huge trauma I will not fooorgeeeet
The Bonney pirates were teaching her to put on lipstick. They know she's a child and are trying to take care of her.
Whoever did that art as kuma runs is a genius, beautiful art 🔥
This chapter was so good that I hope Ishitani Megumi, who directed episode 1015 to direct episode of this chapter. I hope we get a beautifully done episode of this perfect chapter.
Merry Christmas Merphy 🎄
Kuma's been my favorite since Thriller Bark. Love this man.
