Seeing you cry on that scene.... They did it, omg they nailed it. I mean i think you have no idea how much the fan of the manga and the anime anticipated that scene. It's one of the dozen "big scenes" of One Piece that you can't fail because people are so attached to this powerful scene. Wow they did it. They really did it and that scene is sooo difficult to play. The actress who play Nami is a big fan of One Piece and she was soooo anxious about that scene. And they did it
I know I’m late but the reason why Nami doesn’t ask for help is because she doesn’t want anybody close to her to get hurt. She was also so close to completing her goal of buying the village back and didn’t want to give Arlong a reason to back down from his deal. Finally, she’s fought alone for so long that the only person she learned to trust in her battle was herself-which is why it’s so powerful when she finally decides to ask for help.
In anime, Luffy doesn't care about Nami's backstory at all. He just couldn't bear to see Nami cry. To this day, I don't think he knows what made her join Arlong.
I came here to write this. He went to sleep when they were talking about her past. All he cares about is that Nami is his friend and part of his crew and that alone is reason enough to go to the ends of the world for her
Nami tells him a bit about her backstory when they first meet. She tells him she's trying to save 100 million berry so she can buy a certain village as well as her absolute loathing of pirates. He may not know the exact details but he knows enough. The boy may have a singular braincell that's competing for second place, but he has a ton of emotional intelligence.
that works in animanga medium.. but in a live action scenario, people (especially those who dont really watch anime/read manga) would think that he's ignorant. which i think is a good choice for the Netflix team to change it up. remember, if it is shown in the show, then Oda-sensei himself approved of it. otherwise we wouldn't get this version instead
@@kanomee Yes, that will probably be the case, as you write. I also thought that Zoro was portrayed far too dismissively towards Nami. When he jumped into the pool tied up in the anime, he knew exactly how Nami thinks. In the LA adaptation, he lacks this knowledge of human nature as part of his character.
Yeah. I'd like to commend the analysis for this episode in particular. She made a good analysis for Nami's character and the need to ask for help from others
+1 sub ..drama ,story and a bunch of different emotion makes onepiece the greatest anime ever. The drama in this season is just a sample on what to come in the future.
That scene with nami and luffy was done to perfection, every time i see it i tear up. Even in the anime itself (which is like all the way back in like episode 40-50 around there. The emotion of that scene, from my perspective and from majority decisions ive seen from other reactors, is that that scene solidified that they were now One Piece fans.
Love your reaction Lexi. The geniue emotion and the thoughtfulness of the end breakdown are fantastic! Want to just shout out some words of encouragement. No matter what path you end up taking with the youtube thing be proud of the fact you made more than a 100 videos! That's quite the milestone for something that a lot of people talk about doing but never take even the first steps.
28:40 You are correct. It was very easy to tell and could have been said a long time ago, which is why she told Nojiko about it back when they were children in the manga/anime. I've yet to see a good explanation on why the writers for the Live Action decided to have Nami keep it a secret. It's a change that feels worse, although it's the only one I actually really dislike from this series. The rest is very good in my opinion.

garp is a mrine hero! i title that was given to him after he teamed up with Roger to defeat some real bad pirates! they had respect for each other and roger even trusted garp with something that was even more expensive to roger than one piece itself
The only reason Luffy will never stop anyone from fulfilling there dreams even when it means death is because anyone who is willing to die for there dream yet they get stopped from doing it can be disrespectful because your willing to give your life for it and no one has the right to stop that type of determination whether it’s friends or family
@@lex_reactsi watched through it anyway its fine, ur reaction is great! I like that u take notes and stuff, cant wait to see u react to the last episode, as someone who LOVES the source material, i think its a great finale for the season
in the manga and anime is better explain that the reason she act like a villan even in front of the village is that she knows that if she tell her plan they will either try to help her and put them all i danger or they will try to stop her. on the other hand, Noyiko alredy know the true in the manga and the village figure she had a plan all along because they trust her.
Keep in mind that Nami isnt asking for help from people ONLY because shes prideful and stubborn. She has spent 8 years watching marines and pirates alike get completely crushed/killed by Arlong. Hes an extremely scary dude, and he at this point was considered the strongest/most dangerous in the East Blue. She kept to herself because she TRULY felt that no one could stand up to Arlong and was dedicated to a PEACEFUL transaction that would keep anyone from being hurt/killed in the process. To Nami, asking Luffy for help would not only be ruining her peaceful plan but be dooming him and the others to death. Thats why she could only manage to ask when she was at her absolute lowest with no other options.

@rovidelarosa certain things you should exclude from talking about to keep up the integrity of a spoiler free atmosphere. I'm sure you know what I'm going for please edit your comment.
One of the sub-themes that One Piece plays with is the relationship between different generations and what is expected of them. Garp has very clear idea of what he expects from the younger generation, and how to "correct them". I love the whole subtext of this in the conversation between Garp and Zeff. My takeaway from it is that kids are going to be kids. You can try to smother their dreams and mold them into who YOU think they should be, or you can give them the skills they need to protect themselves, stand out of their way and let them shine. And in Zeff's case, kick them out of the nest to let them learn how to fly. Zeff and Garp are both "tough love." Just slightly different motives and methods involved.
The idea of correcting children is very Western and Christian. In Eastern philosophy, it's similar to the philosophy of Xunzi, but Japanese don't like him very much. Oda read the Netflix script and said this scene was not necessary.
@@shirankedo-ib8uv I know Oda said the scene was unnecessary but I don't agree. It was an excellent insight to both Zeff and Garp while also setting up later plot points and themes. On a level outside of the show ive noticed a huge trend in Asian countires, more specifically the East Asian countries, an alarming lack of genuine discipline. As evidenced in the typical reactions parents have to horrific crimes their children commit where they continue to blame the victims and slander them rather than take responsibility for failing to raise proper members of society. I also disagree with the belief that 'controlling children' is a western value as you see it in most countries, including Southern Asian countries. It definitely spread to the West via Christianity. But I find that they're both taken to extremes and the belief that children should be raised like they're actual people (gentle parenting) is somehow still viewed as radical and weak to this day.
@@unclewiley1986 Also, if Oda didn't like the scene, it wouldn't have been in the show. Oda basically has full control over what does and doesn't go into the series. Any change has to be approved by him. It's why the show has been so good up to this point. Nothing goes into the show without his approval, so I don't really believe that he said the scene was unnecessary. If that had been the case, it wouldn't have been there.
As an anime watcher. and a manga reader, who has been watching this show since childhood. I can tell you that the scene with luffy and nami is one of the most iconic scenes in the series, and its honestly what got so many of us into the series.
The fun part about the Zeff-Garp interaction is that this does not exist in the original material. It is something that is completely new and fresh for the live-action, and somehow it manages to feel like total utter fanservice that does both of those characters immense justice. And no, Garp was not a pirate. He's always been a Marine. In fact, he's known as the Hero of the Marines, because his accomplishments are legendary to the point of him essentially having been a poster-boy of Marine virtues that every random person would know about. The talk of 'glory days' refers to when the two men were in their prime: for Zeff, that would obviously be prior to the incident that cost him his leg, and for Garp... well... let's just say the younger generations eventually take over, much like their discussion talks about. It is a bit too harsh to say he is sidelined, but if you think of it in terms of a company, Garp can probably be seen as that star-salesman who brought in all the clients and great sales in the past, but nowadays he's mostly the old familiar face that still appeals to old existing customers and that the company itself does not rely on anymore to move forward into new territory. You might think of him as having one leg into retirement and coasting along without feeling much pressure, and his biggest value to the Marines is his fame and whatever old institutional knowledge that remains. Or maybe you could say that he's too old to just follow orders mindlessly, and that the highest brass and Garp are both in agreement that he should be left free to do his own shit as he likes instead of being dragged into the spotlights like the young guns who want to build strong careers. He's an opinionated old veteran who has no interest in being part of the top-brass to lead the entire organisation, so he's refused the promotions and just ended up plateauing himself into a position that is to his liking. As for 28:50, this is one of those live-action adaptation changes that was probably necessary for brevity but isn't ideal. In the original material, Nojiko knew. The villagers in the town also knew. EVERYONE knew.. but the twist was that it was THEM who never let NAMI know they knew, because none of them believed it was Nami's burden to bear, and that it should be a goal she should feel free to throw aside if she found something better to do with her life than to try and slave away for an impossible goal. The eventual emotional breakdown she suffers in the original is not due to the money being taken (although the LA manages to interweave the issue of the attack on the village so I guess it isn't too wrong), but because she comes face to face with the villagers deciding that enough is enough after they find out that Nami's accumulated hoard was taken away. Nami's viewpoint is that it would only take her a few years to gather the money again, and that it was only a setback that she could overcome. But the villagers did not want to see her suffer any longer to accomplish that which could not be accomplished, and decide to revolt to Arlong one last time... a matter that would without a doubt lead to their deaths given the tank-like builds of this race that originally lives at the bottom of the ocean. Nami sees the thing she treasures the most in this world (the villagers) walking to their deaths for her sake and there is nothing she can do to stop them. Which leaves the moment with the hat. The symbolic nature of which is obviously that Luffy will entrust his treasure (the hat) to her, and she can entrust his treasure to him. It is a particularly strong parallel since throughout the story, Luffy is quite touchy about people touching his hat and harming it, and the live action reduced that key character trait to only being a focus for the second episode. Unlike so many modern media that give us tough female leads that kick ass, Nami's highlight is that she learns to ask for help. She's not a damsel in distress: she's fought the help of everyone for the entirety of her life, trying to fix things on her own. Luffy's not a hero either who feels a need to save everybody left and right. They are merely two people who are friends and can support each other to accomplish their mutual dreams, no questions asked. (Fun fact: in the original material, Luffy & Zoro are not aware of Nami's backstory in the slightest because they fell asleep. Especially for Luffy, it is a gag that he tends to not pay attention during the emotional backstories. He acts when he wants to in whatever way he feels makes sense without the need for such emotional baggage to color his opinion of others!) The anime (which is an adaptation in its own right) invented a legendary scene of its own making which the live-action refers to but doesn't quite pull off, which is known as 'The Walk', the most epic way a bunch of goofy badasses have ever marched on their enemies base to pummel the everliving crap out of him and it. I don't know if you intend to check out the anime to see the differences with the live action, but even if you don't watch other parts, the hat scene and walk are still worth checking out for the chills they provide. I suppose I can't leave out Arlong's changes though, which has had some other aspects of his personality and arc minimized and changed. The start of the episode is quite clear that 'we do not lie about money on this crew', which is a core tenet for the Arlong pirates. Lie and cheat and steal, Arlong doesn't give a damn.. but deals based on money are sacred. There is none of the human duplicity and betrayal as long as you can agree on a deal based on cold hard cash. (But nobody said you can't let a third party steal the money of someone before they have a chance to pay you, which is why Nezumi and his corrupt Marine cronies are the ones to confiscate the money instead. It keeps Arlong's hands clean based on the code he lives by.) But an actual good part of the adaptation is that it let them adapt elements that happen far later into the story into it, like the entire racism angle. The racist element was always there to some degree, but the live-action really laid it on far heavier, and it will pay dividends in season 7 or whenever the live-action reaches that part of the story. 🙂 Suffice to say that although it will not be focused on Arlong as a person very much, it will basically be a tale comparable in its weight to the civil rights movement starring people like MLK & Malcolm X. (Most people can't really imagine that kind of heaviness in a story that is as goofy and silly as One Piece is.. but that is the magic of Eiichiro Oda at work.) Regardless, judging by your tears, Nami's moment grabbed you like it tends to grab most people, and I hope you'll find yourself as charmed by everything that is yet to come in the future! For most people new to the story, this is the arc where they get sucked in because Oda is finally in a position to tell a story that goes beyond a cute, small villain-of-the-day type story and truly builds up its emotional momentum and smashes you senseless with it. Personally I think the live-action did a great job on introducing Nami's story to a new audience, but it still pales in comparison to the original or how the anime adapted it. Nami's story is a literary masterpiece from so many angles, and the live-action was forced by its nature to drop so many elements of it (the biggest of which I mentioned above) that it has lost a fair bit of the depth in the themes of trust and treasure.
The massage is: It's ok to as for help, you don't have to do everything by yourself, thrust the people near you, rely on them when you need it and help them when they need you. You are gonna gor farther in life this way.
I admit, when I started this series, I wasn't too impressed with Emily Rudd's decision to play a sarcastic, eye-rolling Nami instead of her playful, bubbly version in the manga/anime. But she only needed to get one scene right and she absolutely hit it out of the (Arlong) park! From here moving forward, Nami is her character as far as I'm concerned, she can play her any way she wants and I'll be happy!
I imagine she’s going to play her closer to that in future seasons; we still get a bit of her playful personality this season so it’s definitely there.
This one scene was the one I was personally hoping they would do justice to the original, this was a moment they couldn't afford to mess up... And I thought they did a pretty good job. It doesnt carry the same level of impact as the original. (Anime/manga spoilers) Nami goes through so much abuse there, stabbing herself to save Usopp's life, trying to stop the corrupt marines from tearing up Bellemere's tangerine garden, Nojiko taking a bullet for her, confronting Arlong about this and him threatening her that she'll just have to get the money back all over, to finding out the whole village KNEW Nami was trying to free their village and kept quiet so she wouldn't feel pressured to save everyone, and then finally watching helplessly as her village runs off to fight Arlong for her sake, knowing full well it's suicide. At this point, Nami is broken and for the first time feels absolutely helpless and makes the "Help me..." scene so incredibly powerful. It's a bummer they couldn't include all of that, but what we do get is still really well done. Emily and Iñaki kill it in this scene and I absolutely can't wait to see them in more episodes.
Lex, you truly are a special reactor and I'm sorry to hear you won't be continuing. You will be missed and I look forward to finishing what you've created.
It made me so happy and emotional that the last scene would trigger this emotion with someone who doesn't red the manga or seen the anime. So proud of the cast :) They really did one of my favorite momenta justice Love your reactions!
While I love the adaptation, there was one aspect of this arc that I felt it was a shame that they've changed it. In the Original material, all of the villagers knew why Nami was working with Arlong which was why they were also working hard to endure until Nami collected the money, Nojiko in show of solidarity to Nami who was crying because she had the Arlong Tattoo, had a tattoo on her own. Gen the scar face dude was a lot closer to Nami's family than in the live action.
I feel like asking for help is seen as a weakness for some people, especially Americans. Personally being able to set aside your pride and actually ask someone for help, putting yourself in that vulnerable situation requires a lot of strength.
As much as I liked the live-action scene, the anime is so much more nuanced than the live-action version (mainly b/c the anime is 5x as long). Subtle, but important differences are: 1. Luffy and Zoro don't hear Nami's backstory. Luffy accepts people as they are now, regardless of what they've done in the past, & if a person is his friend (nakama), then he will help that person. As for Zoro, one of his defining characteristics is loyalty. Luffy is his captain & Zoro will follow his lead. If Luffy says they're staying, he'll stay. If Luffy says they're fighting for Nami, he'll put his life on the line & fight regardless of his personal feelings about Nami (Zoro wanted to leave her earlier in the story). 2. The significance of Luffy giving Nami his hat is glossed over in the live-action. In the anime, it is made clear that the hat is Luffy's most prized possession, something is willing to risk his life to protect. When Luffy gives his hat to Nami, he is telling her that he treasures Nami as much as his hat; basically, it's telling her that he loves (platonically) & trusts her.
Afff.... Just love your comments... I know you're gonna take a break, but is there any chance to you starts one piece anime??? And yes, fishmen backstory will have more revelations in the future. (Thats another reason for you to start follow the anime! LOL!)
I am always astonished that Belle Mere was an ex marine, that fought a big battle, nearly died and wanted to settle down with two orphans she found On the battle field, the marines left her with nothing. That's why they are poor.
well, There is one hint phrase that suggests that things are not so simple in the One Piece world. When Garp and Roger are talking at the beginning of the first episode, Garp says, "I'm going to bring you in alive, Roger. But I'm not sure if I can do it. You're a dangerous man." This phrase suggests that Roger is more than just a powerful pirate. He is also a dangerous man, and Garp is not sure if he can defeat him. This is a hint that the One Piece world is not as simple as it seems. There are powerful and dangerous forces at work, and things are not always black and white. This hint is also foreshadowing the future of the story. Luffy, the protagonist of One Piece, will face many challenges and dangers on his journey to become the Pirate King. He will need to be strong and resourceful in order to overcome them. Note: Overall, the hint phrase that you mentioned is a clever way of introducing the complexity and danger of the One Piece world. It is also a way of foreshadowing the challenges that Luffy will face on his journey.
30:54 And the worst part is - technically Arlong didn't lie....or break his promise. He just arranged it so that she couldn't keep up her terms of the agreement. And attacked before the deadline that he set - something he didn't say he wouldn't do. Technically speaking, Arlong didn't go back on his word. Which is why his burning Coco Village is now even worse than if he had actually lied.
people know garp is luffys grandfather because his full name is monkey d garp...also garp follows his own moral code, it's why he never advanced in the marines, just because someone is a pirate doesn't mean garp can't respect them....the issue is that he is still a marine and can be forced by the world government to hold pirates accountable if they become too notorious...doesn't mean he likes it
i love your reactions on that 1st. season. you're real one. ps. could you tell me the name of your headphones pls? they are cool. greetings from germany.✌
For Buggy they actually had an entire separate realistic head made, so in some of the scenes it’s literally just a mannequin head made to look super hyper-realistic

@@rovidelarosa I'm pretty sure they didn't include the entire command structure for the benefit of people new to the series who don't want to be spoiled, such as the reactor. You should have done the same.
Your analysis on the last scene was spot on. In anime its the make it or break it scene which is in episode 37, thats why people say if you dont like One Piece past that episode, then it is not for you. One thing that was not brought up much in the live action, is that Luffy's treasure is his hat and in anime/manga he basically beat people up for touching it without permission. Thats why the hat onto Nami is such a symbolic thing, she asked for help and Luffy showed how much she meant to him by trusting her with the hat. Also i love how One Piece has so many relatable and human stories and how most of them have had healing resolutions. The anime/manga sure are way more lighthearted and goofy, but boy it also makes you uglycry.
To be honest the first time I read that chapter, I found it kind of meh. It just seemed like setup for the much more important Arlong fight. But I was already sold on One Piece by that point anyway. And also, I greatly enjoyed the scene rereading it, I somehow just missed how good it was the first time around.
Its worth noting that, within One Piece specifically, race has almost nothing to do with skin color. Instead there are a number of "non-human" species throughout the series, like fish men, who are systematically treated differently than humans. Humans are always looking for things to hate and, if history has shown us anything, are incredibly shallow. In a world where humans and fish people co-exist, its natural to assume prejudice and racism would develop in a wildly different way. I imagine skin color to humans in One Piece is no different from something like hair color. I would like to end this comment by saying racism bad.
23:01 Hits differently after that bit - I mean Arlong's two interactions with he fishman working as a maitre'd at the Baratie. The 'Serve? an interesting choice of words' and the 'but you dare stoop so low'. One thing we can be certain about with Arlong is that he'll never physically har or attack any fellow fishman - he jut also won't hide it when he considers them to be a sell-out or a traitor.
23:04 Right? They literally race swapped Nami's sister. I'm sure it was one of multiple stipulations Netflix forced upon Oda, before they would allow him to make the series.. That, and the female casting of Koby.

Keep in mind that Nami isnt asking for help from people ONLY because shes prideful and stubborn. She has spent 8 years watching marines and pirates alike get completely crushed/killed by Arlong. Hes an extremely scary dude, and he at this point was considered the strongest/most dangerous in the East Blue. She kept to herself because she TRULY felt that no one could stand up to Arlong and was dedicated to a PEACEFUL transaction that would keep anyone from being hurt/killed in the process. To Nami, asking Luffy for help would not only be ruining her peaceful plan but be dooming him and the others to death. Thats why she could only manage to ask when she was at her absolute lowest with no other options.
Grap is a Marine so his glory days would be hunting pirates. They didn't list out the Marine ranking system but he is a high ranked officer.
1-Fleet admiral (1 person)
2-Admiral (3 people)
3-Vice Admiral (garp and few others)
So only 4 marines outrank garp

@rovidelarosa certain things you should exclude from talking about to keep up the integrity of a spoiler free atmosphere. I'm sure you know what I'm going for please edit your comment.
One of the sub-themes that One Piece plays with is the relationship between different generations and what is expected of them. Garp has very clear idea of what he expects from the younger generation, and how to "correct them".
I love the whole subtext of this in the conversation between Garp and Zeff. My takeaway from it is that kids are going to be kids. You can try to smother their dreams and mold them into who YOU think they should be, or you can give them the skills they need to protect themselves, stand out of their way and let them shine.
And in Zeff's case, kick them out of the nest to let them learn how to fly.
Zeff and Garp are both "tough love." Just slightly different motives and methods involved.
The idea of correcting children is very Western and Christian. In Eastern philosophy, it's similar to the philosophy of Xunzi, but Japanese don't like him very much. Oda read the Netflix script and said this scene was not necessary.
@@shirankedo-ib8uv I know Oda said the scene was unnecessary but I don't agree. It was an excellent insight to both Zeff and Garp while also setting up later plot points and themes.
On a level outside of the show ive noticed a huge trend in Asian countires, more specifically the East Asian countries, an alarming lack of genuine discipline. As evidenced in the typical reactions parents have to horrific crimes their children commit where they continue to blame the victims and slander them rather than take responsibility for failing to raise proper members of society.
I also disagree with the belief that 'controlling children' is a western value as you see it in most countries, including Southern Asian countries. It definitely spread to the West via Christianity.
But I find that they're both taken to extremes and the belief that children should be raised like they're actual people (gentle parenting) is somehow still viewed as radical and weak to this day.
@@unclewiley1986 Also, if Oda didn't like the scene, it wouldn't have been in the show. Oda basically has full control over what does and doesn't go into the series. Any change has to be approved by him. It's why the show has been so good up to this point. Nothing goes into the show without his approval, so I don't really believe that he said the scene was unnecessary. If that had been the case, it wouldn't have been there.
Also sanji actor taz skylar recommended Craig farbrass for the role of Zeff also zeff and garp were in a movie together
As an anime watcher. and a manga reader, who has been watching this show since childhood. I can tell you that the scene with luffy and nami is one of the most iconic scenes in the series, and its honestly what got so many of us into the series.
What a well thought out review! You really understood Namis situation well! Can't wait for episode 8!
The fun part about the Zeff-Garp interaction is that this does not exist in the original material. It is something that is completely new and fresh for the live-action, and somehow it manages to feel like total utter fanservice that does both of those characters immense justice.
And no, Garp was not a pirate. He's always been a Marine. In fact, he's known as the Hero of the Marines, because his accomplishments are legendary to the point of him essentially having been a poster-boy of Marine virtues that every random person would know about. The talk of 'glory days' refers to when the two men were in their prime: for Zeff, that would obviously be prior to the incident that cost him his leg, and for Garp... well... let's just say the younger generations eventually take over, much like their discussion talks about. It is a bit too harsh to say he is sidelined, but if you think of it in terms of a company, Garp can probably be seen as that star-salesman who brought in all the clients and great sales in the past, but nowadays he's mostly the old familiar face that still appeals to old existing customers and that the company itself does not rely on anymore to move forward into new territory. You might think of him as having one leg into retirement and coasting along without feeling much pressure, and his biggest value to the Marines is his fame and whatever old institutional knowledge that remains. Or maybe you could say that he's too old to just follow orders mindlessly, and that the highest brass and Garp are both in agreement that he should be left free to do his own shit as he likes instead of being dragged into the spotlights like the young guns who want to build strong careers. He's an opinionated old veteran who has no interest in being part of the top-brass to lead the entire organisation, so he's refused the promotions and just ended up plateauing himself into a position that is to his liking.
As for 28:50, this is one of those live-action adaptation changes that was probably necessary for brevity but isn't ideal. In the original material, Nojiko knew. The villagers in the town also knew. EVERYONE knew.. but the twist was that it was THEM who never let NAMI know they knew, because none of them believed it was Nami's burden to bear, and that it should be a goal she should feel free to throw aside if she found something better to do with her life than to try and slave away for an impossible goal. The eventual emotional breakdown she suffers in the original is not due to the money being taken (although the LA manages to interweave the issue of the attack on the village so I guess it isn't too wrong), but because she comes face to face with the villagers deciding that enough is enough after they find out that Nami's accumulated hoard was taken away. Nami's viewpoint is that it would only take her a few years to gather the money again, and that it was only a setback that she could overcome. But the villagers did not want to see her suffer any longer to accomplish that which could not be accomplished, and decide to revolt to Arlong one last time... a matter that would without a doubt lead to their deaths given the tank-like builds of this race that originally lives at the bottom of the ocean. Nami sees the thing she treasures the most in this world (the villagers) walking to their deaths for her sake and there is nothing she can do to stop them.
Which leaves the moment with the hat. The symbolic nature of which is obviously that Luffy will entrust his treasure (the hat) to her, and she can entrust his treasure to him. It is a particularly strong parallel since throughout the story, Luffy is quite touchy about people touching his hat and harming it, and the live action reduced that key character trait to only being a focus for the second episode. Unlike so many modern media that give us tough female leads that kick ass, Nami's highlight is that she learns to ask for help. She's not a damsel in distress: she's fought the help of everyone for the entirety of her life, trying to fix things on her own. Luffy's not a hero either who feels a need to save everybody left and right. They are merely two people who are friends and can support each other to accomplish their mutual dreams, no questions asked. (Fun fact: in the original material, Luffy & Zoro are not aware of Nami's backstory in the slightest because they fell asleep. Especially for Luffy, it is a gag that he tends to not pay attention during the emotional backstories. He acts when he wants to in whatever way he feels makes sense without the need for such emotional baggage to color his opinion of others!)
The anime (which is an adaptation in its own right) invented a legendary scene of its own making which the live-action refers to but doesn't quite pull off, which is known as 'The Walk', the most epic way a bunch of goofy badasses have ever marched on their enemies base to pummel the everliving crap out of him and it. I don't know if you intend to check out the anime to see the differences with the live action, but even if you don't watch other parts, the hat scene and walk are still worth checking out for the chills they provide.
I suppose I can't leave out Arlong's changes though, which has had some other aspects of his personality and arc minimized and changed. The start of the episode is quite clear that 'we do not lie about money on this crew', which is a core tenet for the Arlong pirates. Lie and cheat and steal, Arlong doesn't give a damn.. but deals based on money are sacred. There is none of the human duplicity and betrayal as long as you can agree on a deal based on cold hard cash. (But nobody said you can't let a third party steal the money of someone before they have a chance to pay you, which is why Nezumi and his corrupt Marine cronies are the ones to confiscate the money instead. It keeps Arlong's hands clean based on the code he lives by.) But an actual good part of the adaptation is that it let them adapt elements that happen far later into the story into it, like the entire racism angle. The racist element was always there to some degree, but the live-action really laid it on far heavier, and it will pay dividends in season 7 or whenever the live-action reaches that part of the story. 🙂 Suffice to say that although it will not be focused on Arlong as a person very much, it will basically be a tale comparable in its weight to the civil rights movement starring people like MLK & Malcolm X. (Most people can't really imagine that kind of heaviness in a story that is as goofy and silly as One Piece is.. but that is the magic of Eiichiro Oda at work.)
Regardless, judging by your tears, Nami's moment grabbed you like it tends to grab most people, and I hope you'll find yourself as charmed by everything that is yet to come in the future! For most people new to the story, this is the arc where they get sucked in because Oda is finally in a position to tell a story that goes beyond a cute, small villain-of-the-day type story and truly builds up its emotional momentum and smashes you senseless with it. Personally I think the live-action did a great job on introducing Nami's story to a new audience, but it still pales in comparison to the original or how the anime adapted it. Nami's story is a literary masterpiece from so many angles, and the live-action was forced by its nature to drop so many elements of it (the biggest of which I mentioned above) that it has lost a fair bit of the depth in the themes of trust and treasure.
This needs to be pinned. couldn't have said it any better...
Wow. That’s a lot of words. Too bad I’m not reading them
@@cl86241 Your mother probably used your head as a basketball when you were a baby.
By far my favorite reactor to this series. Very intelligible insight and commentary and also being moved by the emotional scenes.
When I first watched this, I was so hyped, even I jumped out of my chair with both hands in the air shouting “YES, HE WILL”!!!!
The massage is: It's ok to as for help, you don't have to do everything by yourself, thrust the people near you, rely on them when you need it and help them when they need you. You are gonna gor farther in life this way.
I admit, when I started this series, I wasn't too impressed with Emily Rudd's decision to play a sarcastic, eye-rolling Nami instead of her playful, bubbly version in the manga/anime. But she only needed to get one scene right and she absolutely hit it out of the (Arlong) park! From here moving forward, Nami is her character as far as I'm concerned, she can play her any way she wants and I'll be happy!
I imagine she’s going to play her closer to that in future seasons; we still get a bit of her playful personality this season so it’s definitely there.
@@borjankosarac3645 yeah i think now that Nami is free she will get more playful. Can't wait for the Nami / Vivi friendship too
nami was playful yet still cunning, thats super hard to do, im glad rudd went with this.
This one scene was the one I was personally hoping they would do justice to the original, this was a moment they couldn't afford to mess up... And I thought they did a pretty good job. It doesnt carry the same level of impact as the original.
(Anime/manga spoilers)
Nami goes through so much abuse there, stabbing herself to save Usopp's life, trying to stop the corrupt marines from tearing up Bellemere's tangerine garden, Nojiko taking a bullet for her, confronting Arlong about this and him threatening her that she'll just have to get the money back all over, to finding out the whole village KNEW Nami was trying to free their village and kept quiet so she wouldn't feel pressured to save everyone, and then finally watching helplessly as her village runs off to fight Arlong for her sake, knowing full well it's suicide. At this point, Nami is broken and for the first time feels absolutely helpless and makes the "Help me..." scene so incredibly powerful.
It's a bummer they couldn't include all of that, but what we do get is still really well done. Emily and Iñaki kill it in this scene and I absolutely can't wait to see them in more episodes.
If you felt like there was no female fish people, aka, Mermaid in Arlong's crew..that was intentional as well, in that crew and this world.
Female fish people aren't the same as mermaids.
Lex, you truly are a special reactor and I'm sorry to hear you won't be continuing. You will be missed and I look forward to finishing what you've created.
wait what? Isnt she still posting
They never mention it in this season, but Garp full name is Monkey D. Garp, and that's why Mihawk and Zeff know they're (Luffy & Garp) related.
Garp tells Koby that he has been a Marine for over 50 years. That doesn't leave much time for him to be a pirate before then
Garp (in the manga at least) is 76 at this point.
50 years ago he'd have been 26, plenty of time for pirating.
It made me so happy and emotional that the last scene would trigger this emotion with someone who doesn't red the manga or seen the anime. So proud of the cast :) They really did one of my favorite momenta justice
Love your reactions!
While I love the adaptation, there was one aspect of this arc that I felt it was a shame that they've changed it. In the Original material, all of the villagers knew why Nami was working with Arlong which was why they were also working hard to endure until Nami collected the money, Nojiko in show of solidarity to Nami who was crying because she had the Arlong Tattoo, had a tattoo on her own. Gen the scar face dude was a lot closer to Nami's family than in the live action.

19:24 Bellemeire dies 21:23

Nezumi’s ears aren’t real. Neither were Merry’s horns. It was a fashion choice.
Nami's actress, Emily Rudd, was a big one piece and Nami fan before the live action series was even announced.
I feel like asking for help is seen as a weakness for some people, especially Americans. Personally being able to set aside your pride and actually ask someone for help, putting yourself in that vulnerable situation requires a lot of strength.
❤
As much as I liked the live-action scene, the anime is so much more nuanced than the live-action version (mainly b/c the anime is 5x as long). Subtle, but important differences are:
1. Luffy and Zoro don't hear Nami's backstory. Luffy accepts people as they are now, regardless of what they've done in the past, & if a person is his friend (nakama), then he will help that person. As for Zoro, one of his defining characteristics is loyalty. Luffy is his captain & Zoro will follow his lead. If Luffy says they're staying, he'll stay. If Luffy says they're fighting for Nami, he'll put his life on the line & fight regardless of his personal feelings about Nami (Zoro wanted to leave her earlier in the story).
2. The significance of Luffy giving Nami his hat is glossed over in the live-action. In the anime, it is made clear that the hat is Luffy's most prized possession, something is willing to risk his life to protect. When Luffy gives his hat to Nami, he is telling her that he treasures Nami as much as his hat; basically, it's telling her that he loves (platonically) & trusts her.
俠義
In Asian culture, that's how we call Luffy's behavior.
People who only see justice and humanity, and ignore anything about power and profits.
Afff.... Just love your comments... I know you're gonna take a break, but is there any chance to you starts one piece anime??? And yes, fishmen backstory will have more revelations in the future. (Thats another reason for you to start follow the anime! LOL!)
Nami’s mom’s name is Belle-mere
I am always astonished that Belle Mere was an ex marine, that fought a big battle, nearly died and wanted to settle down with two orphans she found On the battle field, the marines left her with nothing. That's why they are poor.
You cut the whiskey bit after commenting Zeff & Garp are both old? :( #MissedOpportunity
Rewatch the beginning of the first episode when Garp talks to Roger. There is 1 hint phrase, that it’s not so simple here
When Garp said to Roger, "I warned you. You brought it to yourself"?
Yeah it hinted that Garp and Roger had back story.
well, There is one hint phrase that suggests that things are not so simple in the One Piece world.
When Garp and Roger are talking at the beginning of the first episode, Garp says, "I'm going to bring you in alive, Roger. But I'm not sure if I can do it. You're a dangerous man."
This phrase suggests that Roger is more than just a powerful pirate. He is also a dangerous man, and Garp is not sure if he can defeat him.
This is a hint that the One Piece world is not as simple as it seems. There are powerful and dangerous forces at work, and things are not always black and white.
This hint is also foreshadowing the future of the story. Luffy, the protagonist of One Piece, will face many challenges and dangers on his journey to become the Pirate King. He will need to be strong and resourceful in order to overcome them.
Note: Overall, the hint phrase that you mentioned is a clever way of introducing the complexity and danger of the One Piece world. It is also a way of foreshadowing the challenges that Luffy will face on his journey.
Arrrrrlongg!!!!
Monkey d garp monkey d Rodger monkey d luffy. Monkey is there last name

Nami SCHWAN😭😭❤️ god I love this episode
Im glad I’ve never watched the live action 😅
the anime is 100 times or impactful
One of my favorite moments ever
Nami! Emily Rudd killed it
Glory days means era
30:54 And the worst part is - technically Arlong didn't lie....or break his promise. He just arranged it so that she couldn't keep up her terms of the agreement. And attacked before the deadline that he set - something he didn't say he wouldn't do.
Technically speaking, Arlong didn't go back on his word. Which is why his burning Coco Village is now even worse than if he had actually lied.
❤
people know garp is luffys grandfather because his full name is monkey d garp...also garp follows his own moral code, it's why he never advanced in the marines, just because someone is a pirate doesn't mean garp can't respect them....the issue is that he is still a marine and can be forced by the world government to hold pirates accountable if they become too notorious...doesn't mean he likes it
UA-cam kept recommending this to me and I can why. Awesome analysis and breakdown.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeey!

i love your reactions on that 1st. season. you're real one. ps. could you tell me the name of your headphones pls? they are cool. greetings from germany.✌
That scene "Luffy help me" is one of the iconic scenes in the whole arlong park arc of the anime 🔥
For Buggy they actually had an entire separate realistic head made, so in some of the scenes it’s literally just a mannequin head made to look super hyper-realistic
yes thats what garp meant, garp said hes been a marine for 50~ years
Try to watch the one piece anime im sure you gonna love it
The goofiness will make you vulnerable
One of the nicest reviews that I've seen. Thank you.
in the manga Grap is a vice-admiral, second highest rank in the marine. He intentionally not accepting the admiral rank due to not wanting to get into politic.
Commander in Chief = first
Fleet Admiral = second
Admiral = third
Vice Admiral = fourth
@@keonscinist2333 The Commander in Chief is above the Fleet Admiral but not a marine. He's under World Government and the Gorosei and above all divisions including Marines and Cipher Pol
So if you are including the World Government:

2: Gorosei
3: Celestial Dragons
4: Holy Knights / God's Knights
5: Commander-in-Chief (Kong)
6: Fleet Admiral
7: Admiral
8: Vice Admiral
4 and 5 is still unclear and might be the other way around. And that's still not including the Cipher Pol and specially CP0.
@@rovidelarosa I'm pretty sure they didn't include the entire command structure for the benefit of people new to the series who don't want to be spoiled, such as the reactor. You should have done the same.

Im sooo happy to se your reactions❤❤❤
"They are both old" omg hahahah
Your analysis on the last scene was spot on. In anime its the make it or break it scene which is in episode 37, thats why people say if you dont like One Piece past that episode, then it is not for you.
One thing that was not brought up much in the live action, is that Luffy's treasure is his hat and in anime/manga he basically beat people up for touching it without permission. Thats why the hat onto Nami is such a symbolic thing, she asked for help and Luffy showed how much she meant to him by trusting her with the hat.
Also i love how One Piece has so many relatable and human stories and how most of them have had healing resolutions. The anime/manga sure are way more lighthearted and goofy, but boy it also makes you uglycry.
To be honest the first time I read that chapter, I found it kind of meh. It just seemed like setup for the much more important Arlong fight.
But I was already sold on One Piece by that point anyway. And also, I greatly enjoyed the scene rereading it, I somehow just missed how good it was the first time around.
buggy doesn't wear a suit, it's actually a mechanical head they made for these scenes.
Its worth noting that, within One Piece specifically, race has almost nothing to do with skin color. Instead there are a number of "non-human" species throughout the series, like fish men, who are systematically treated differently than humans. Humans are always looking for things to hate and, if history has shown us anything, are incredibly shallow. In a world where humans and fish people co-exist, its natural to assume prejudice and racism would develop in a wildly different way. I imagine skin color to humans in One Piece is no different from something like hair color. I would like to end this comment by saying racism bad.
I don't understand why he said, "Slavery has been abolished " And why the director and oda agreed to this statement.
Because clearly it's NoT.
how they changed the story is so trash
23:01 Hits differently after that bit - I mean Arlong's two interactions with he fishman working as a maitre'd at the Baratie. The 'Serve? an interesting choice of words' and the 'but you dare stoop so low'. One thing we can be certain about with Arlong is that he'll never physically har or attack any fellow fishman - he jut also won't hide it when he considers them to be a sell-out or a traitor.
In the anime the villagers actually knew Nami was trying back the village from Arlong
23:04 Right? They literally race swapped Nami's sister.
I'm sure it was one of multiple stipulations Netflix forced upon Oda, before they would allow him to make the series.. That, and the female casting of Koby.
Zoro and sanji having beef is a running gag throughout the anime and manga lol
