Dude, i think you guys are the first people to understand the significance of black beard's ship beeing essentially a bunch of logs and that represents his views and how they differ from luffy's...just like how they fought because of the pies in jaya
Lafitte said that they know Blackbeard right now can't be a Warlord cause other pirates wouldn't fear him (nobody knows him yet), so they are taking care of that. Taking Luffy's 100 million bounty would definitely help.
4:08 is one of my favorite subtle moments in One Piece. I loved that Cricket didn't open the bag of gold. Something about his trust in Luffy is so cool to me.
Skypeia is probably the most underrated major saga in the story, but for me and many more, it is the essence of One Piece in one arc. Not the best in the story, but my favorite.
People that call Skypeia the worst arc should honestly just quit the series. It's so magical and adventurous it feels like an injection of highly concentrated One Piece. And that's without the worldbuilding during it. The people hating on it are probably the same knuckle-draggers that watch OP for the fights and then cry that it's "not as cool as Naruto".
29:15 I think "drank the kool-aid" came from Jonestown, not Heaven's Gate. Those guys also went ahead with a mass suicide but they went with the good old sleep meds+plastic bag method and just asphyxiated themselves instead.
Man, I forgot how whimsy the beginning of Sky Island is!!! Rewatching it with you is gonna give this arc a new perspective for me. Also, I love the knock-up stream!!! Is one of if not my favortie part of the worldbuilding in all of One Piece, I remember perfectly the first time I saw it and everytime I see it again is always so grandiose.
In the first italian dub version that aired on TV Luffy's name was literally Rubber. Like the English word "rubber". Probably they thought it was more catchy and more understandable by kids. It was targeted only at kids. Like devil fruits were called sea fruits, probably because of catholic bigotry. Imagine my shock when I first found out his actual name, like I've been lied to my whole childhood 😭
Basically every line coming out of the Blackbeard members' mouth had been about fate. The doctor handing out apple bombs or the sniper shooting birds to see who is destined to die; Blackbeard saying that Laffite did not meet up with them in time or Luffy got away because fate wanted it to be so.
It is of crucial importance to the story (and to the Straw Hats' fates and the fate of the One Piece world) that Blackbeard DOES NOT reach Sky Island, especially at this point when he is still travelling mostly unnoticed and unrestrained and can just annihilate entire civilizations and regions off the map. It was also important NOT to have BB and Enel meet each other or have BB reach some of the information/history available up there and, possibly and most likely, destroy it.
Trivia Time (Source: One Piece Wiki): «Gan Fall is one of the few sky people shown to lack wings. Others include Enel, Haredas, and possibly Ubau. Coincidentally, both Enel and Ubau also served as Gods of Skypiea.» «Gan Fall's name may be a reference to Gandalf from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.» His design, humour, grandiose manner of speaking and his silly pet/mount bird/horse are akin of Don Quixote.
Sailing up the knock up stream while We Are plays is such a great moment. Nobody talks about it enough. Also: time for perhaps my second or third favourite arc c:
Blackbeard's raft is one of the funniest and dumbest things in this whole show and I can't tell how I feel about it. Now for trivia: 🏴☠One Piece at a time🏴☠: The reason why this feels like Oda is gearing up is because he originally thought One Piece would last just five years after, from romance dawn to Alabasta those where five years So that's why the world expands so much in this one small arc.
Reminder that this comment is not saying that Oda changed his idea of ending One Piece after Alabasta, it’s just saying that in the beginning, he thought that Alabasta would be where he would end the series. 2 very different things.
theory time (not a spoiler because it's a theory) Other ways is "Jack and the beanstalk" which in the story a territory of the Giants (Elbaf) It's a safer way to Sky Island, but going to Elbaf is politically and physically impossible too
One of the best arcs easily! Where else u can enjoy story with such concept? (ofc "Golden egg Jack and the beanstalk" and others which inspired Oda himself, but as joyful like this?) And author said there are his most favourite moments there. Hope u'll notice a lot of details, hints for lore, references
Episode 152 is still today one of my favourite, absolutely gorgeous and so creative! The Knock-Up Stream and whirpool sequence is so good to me and I love how excited the crew is once Nami figures out how to "navigate" the current.
oh lol its been a while i forgot they called them "utan divers" @7:35 . i guess its supposed to be like orangutan but utan just means forest. so they're forest divers xD
Well, about Oda taking vacations, early One Piece, definitely not. If you read articles about Oda's work ethic, he barely sleeps 4hrs a day. And dedicate 16hrs working on One piece drawing panels and writing and planning the story for 7 days a week. He definitely does not have any time for a vacation. Just this last 3-4 years is where he really take more weeks off for resting and for improving his health. He also got reportedly hospitalized due to his tough work schedule before.
Merry always had a cannon in front. But they usually prefer to fleed, rather the fight in the naval combat, so i guess thats the reason, why you don't remember that cannon...
These guys have so much plot armour in this. Usually that's annoying, but with One Piece it's just part of the charm. Still, in real life they'd probably just come crashing back down and the whole crew would die on impact except Luffy who would spend his last few moments drowning with the knowledge that he got all of his friends killed.
23:47 And nobody ever made theories about that. Though looking back now, I can't help but notice how little time there was between their introductions.
It has begun, Skypeia! Honestly, I love the setting of the Sky Islands. If I was in the One Piece world, I would want to live there (and take over it).
At the intro; To me One Piece "really starts" at a certain place called Water 7, which is after Skypiea :D What I mean by this is that One Piece is always One Piece, that is the title doesn't change, to me that arc felt like a move into "DBZ" or "Naruto Shippuden", One Piece Zhipudden? XD
I love you compare gamfall with one of the elder star we fans call the elder star as ganfall brother btw nothing confirmed and this is not a spoiler Anyway manga readers know the real name already
"All things in this world are cogs that move to strong desires." -But I'm no cog. Reality isn't made of cogs. Although sometimes it is necessary to pretend this for some time to understand some things.
Spoiler Idk guys but I think blackbeared has went to skypiea before after all he was with the whitebeard crew for a long time like man he joined the crew when he was a child and was till he killed thatch and I refuse to believe that whitebeard hasn't gone to skypiea before
I love skypeia, i heard a rumor that the live action wont be skipping it, its gone down in the fandom as one of the worst arcs but i remember my first time watching it, cant say i was bored or i wanted to hurry up and speed through it, though the boss fight is dragged a bit too long
@johncy11 yes and it's not as simple as just a retcon. There are too many coincidences that make it by definition not a retcon. Is it weird plot wise? Yeah but it's not your typical shonen retcon
To be honest first time i hear sky island i think it is very much joke , how can there is a island in the sky since we are focused in grand line , then they reach a real island in the sky
Yah BOLDcast are going to absolutely love the Skypiea arc and in their reviews I hope they crap on all the "fake" one piece fans who tell them or other people that skypiea is one of the worst arcs and that it is skippable. I can see it, they will become Skypiea defenders, I hope.

"Sanji's like haven't kicked a Sea Beast in a while" - She will never forgive him about Moomoo
4:08 is one of my favorite subtle moments in One Piece. I loved that Cricket didn't open the bag of gold. Something about his trust in Luffy is so cool to me.
Or he just didn't give a shit about the gold? 😅
@@hashshashiin.forsīhe obviously cared for that gold, have you not watched the show😑😑😑
@@utkarshvishwakarma3590 i would say it is obviously not world-ending for him cuz he cares more for his apprentices
The Knock-up Stream is one of my favorite Nami moments. Everyone was panicking, and she just took charge and saved everyone’s lives.
They finding out the skyfish and sanji IMMEDIATELY cooking it and eating it is so funny
Skypeia is probably the most underrated major saga in the story, but for me and many more, it is the essence of One Piece in one arc. Not the best in the story, but my favorite.

It's so magical and adventurous it feels like an injection of highly concentrated One Piece. And that's without the worldbuilding during it.

*essence
Never ever skip skypiea
Skypeia has the best ending of all arcs. The artworks in the manga during sykpeia are next level. And the noland flashback is to this day my favorite.
You can honestly make the case that Skypeia is the best arc. It embodies so much of what makes One Piece beautiful
29:15 I think "drank the kool-aid" came from Jonestown, not Heaven's Gate. Those guys also went ahead with a mass suicide but they went with the good old sleep meds+plastic bag method and just asphyxiated themselves instead.
Agreed!
You are correct
Sky Knight looks like an old don Quixote cartoon I used to watch as a kid
Man, I forgot how whimsy the beginning of Sky Island is!!! Rewatching it with you is gonna give this arc a new perspective for me. Also, I love the knock-up stream!!! Is one of if not my favortie part of the worldbuilding in all of One Piece, I remember perfectly the first time I saw it and everytime I see it again is always so grandiose.
Fun fact: in germany the going merry is called flying lamb since day 1
a thing I always found funny - changing an english name to another english name.
that sounds cute
In the first italian dub version that aired on TV Luffy's name was literally Rubber. Like the English word "rubber". Probably they thought it was more catchy and more understandable by kids. It was targeted only at kids. Like devil fruits were called sea fruits, probably because of catholic bigotry.

Skypeia is soo underrated. Can't wait for them
Yes, the Merry already had a cannon at the front. Luffy used it to stop the ship from crashing into Laboon.
Basically every line coming out of the Blackbeard members' mouth had been about fate. The doctor handing out apple bombs or the sniper shooting birds to see who is destined to die; Blackbeard saying that Laffite did not meet up with them in time or Luffy got away because fate wanted it to be so.
Playing We Are while we go to the Sky, is Peak OnePiece adventure, the whole spirit of magic and romanticism💯
The Skypeia arc is so underrated. I love all the new stuff they will see up there!
My only problem is that it really drags on. I mean Luffy spends 10 episodes doing nothing trapped inside a snake 😅
Especially that thing Robin will see
Spoil much@@felphero
The humor in this arc is also so good, so many funny moments lol
Under? But they're in the sky!
ba dum bum tishh

This MF arc is the most important arc fr

Skypiea is pure adventure. I don't know how those idiots who skip this arc even call themselves One Piece fans.
Blackbeard's raft is one of the funniest and dumbest things in this whole show and I can't tell how I feel about it.
Now for trivia:
🏴☠One Piece at a time🏴☠:
The reason why this feels like Oda is gearing up is because he originally thought One Piece would last just five years after, from romance dawn to Alabasta those where five years
So that's why the world expands so much in this one small arc.
Hey you're back :)
I love the bb raft 😭
He must have been pretty confident. He wouldn't introduce Garp, Ace, Whitebeard, Dragon and Jinbei for no reason.
Oda said he gave up on the five year plan when he designed the Warlords. This occurred at Baratie.
Reminder that this comment is not saying that Oda changed his idea of ending One Piece after Alabasta, it’s just saying that in the beginning, he thought that Alabasta would be where he would end the series. 2 very different things.
theory time (not a spoiler because it's a theory)
Other ways is "Jack and the beanstalk" which in the story a territory of the Giants (Elbaf)
It's a safer way to Sky Island, but going to Elbaf is politically and physically impossible too
im kinda realizing now that lindsay has the same type of humor that robin have 😵😵😵
Robin will absolutely be at least Lindsay's favourite character
Finally you will gonna see one of the best villians of the entire show (in my opinion)
Skypiea is so good damn! so underrated
I absolutely abdore this arc, the feel of adventure, the entire new world and the lovely mystery of it living up there in the sky.
One of the best arcs easily! Where else u can enjoy story with such concept? (ofc "Golden egg Jack and the beanstalk" and others which inspired Oda himself, but as joyful like this?) And author said there are his most favourite moments there. Hope u'll notice a lot of details, hints for lore, references
Episode 152 is still today one of my favourite, absolutely gorgeous and so creative! The Knock-Up Stream and whirpool sequence is so good to me and I love how excited the crew is once Nami figures out how to "navigate" the current.
This was the moment for me where the possibilities for one piece really grew in scope.
i love skypiea, .... so magical, one of the most beautiful places ...
oh lol its been a while i forgot they called them "utan divers" @7:35 . i guess its supposed to be like orangutan but utan just means forest. so they're forest divers xD
Well, about Oda taking vacations, early One Piece, definitely not. If you read articles about Oda's work ethic, he barely sleeps 4hrs a day.

guys they were talking about ships and crew 17:28
I can already tell u guys are gonna be the biggest one piece fans n i love it
I wonder what they will think about Skypiea it is a slow arc but knowing them they can probably see how impactful this arc is to the future story
holy shit chopper says "we need to go even higher?"
Merry always had a cannon in front. But they usually prefer to fleed, rather the fight in the naval combat, so i guess thats the reason, why you don't remember that cannon...
For me Skypia is definitely in top 5
MarinFord arc
Wano Arc
Eines lobby arc
Sabaody arc
Skypia arc
NGL I get goosebumps every time I saw Merry Flying Mode sail on the water pillar heading to Skypiea ❤ What a Great Moment and Unforgettable Journey ❤
33:16 going up to Skypeia is gonna be hard! No, it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
nooo, i can really hear his voice again
Skypiea is one of my favorite arcs. It's also a great treat when watching for the first time, hope you guys enjoy it.
Usopp diving into the clouds is so out of character, like, that's so damn scary lol
Cool episodes, cool reaction and observations guys! It's good to see yyou're enjoying!
Lore drops in OP is always fun
These guys have so much plot armour in this. Usually that's annoying, but with One Piece it's just part of the charm. Still, in real life they'd probably just come crashing back down and the whole crew would die on impact except Luffy who would spend his last few moments drowning with the knowledge that he got all of his friends killed.
23:47 And nobody ever made theories about that.

the Going Merry always have cannon at the front. remember Luffy shot at Laboon using that cannon after Reverse Mountain
always nice to hear your thoughts and theories, thanks for another great video :)
It's always nice to explore a new area.
It has begun, Skypeia!
Honestly, I love the setting of the Sky Islands. If I was in the One Piece world, I would want to live there (and take over it).
We have the coolest most unique power system in all of anime
Hey, look. The merry sprouted wings.
Cock-a-doodleBAAAAAAHHH (sheep noise)
This Knight Remjnds me of Arthur from Ghouls and Ghosts
Adventure in the sky begin 🎉
And sky island adventure begins!! °w°
WELCOME TO SKYPIEA 😍❤😍❤😍❤
Yeah blackbeard started from that clumsy raft made of woods
And look where he is now.
The saber of xebec.
The warlords weren't part of the original plan actually, original plan was some things that come much later.
Omg! you guys are cooking so hard.. I still believe it'd be awesome if real giants that scale live in One Piece..
33:53 oh yeah there is definitely gonna be references about a certain god 🙂
luffy jumping on bouncy surface, oda god of foreshadowing 🔥
20:25 LOL
Luffy really wanted to use the whistle, even at the cost of calling himself weakest
For someone without a big ego, that is a fair trade
At the intro; To me One Piece "really starts" at a certain place called Water 7, which is after Skypiea :D
What I mean by this is that One Piece is always One Piece, that is the title doesn't change, to me that arc felt like a move into "DBZ" or "Naruto Shippuden", One Piece Zhipudden? XD
I love you compare gamfall with one of the elder star we fans call the elder star as ganfall brother btw nothing confirmed and this is not a spoiler
Anyway manga readers know the real name already
Alright, sky adventure, start! 😁
Yes, you could say that's quite an exaggeration, but in some senses, this is where the REAL STORY of One Piece begins, if you know what I mean.
Foreshadow Arc🔥🔥🔥
This arc to much foreshadowing
If you like adventure, thats is your ark!
This is not a spoiler BUT take really close attention to this arc overall, its one of the most important arcs in retrospective.
I don’t see how it’s even in the top 10 most important arcs

Congratulations. Your 10% done with one piece🎉
Are you, guys, gonna watch OP movies? Movies 1-6 are completely spoiler-free for you right now. And you can watch 7-th one, after Enies Lobby Arc...
Oddly enough Sky Islander Wings don't allow them to fly, they're just bodily extensions.
Aren't they just clothing
A huge retcon is a coming 😮... let's see if you can spot it

@re_striker3431 luffy being a Zoan isn't a retcon, Haki as a power system isn't a retcon... remember, only 5 flying Devil fruits exist
it might not be as important at first glance but this may be one of the most important arcs pre timeskip
