You might even say Usopp's design is a bit on the nose.
Is it a stretch to say luffy is sometimes a far reach in his reactions :P
Yohohoho
He's also based on Aesop, as in Aesop's fables.
I thought you were mothers basement for a second
@GabeothyVids At a glance, I was like, is that Geoff watching a video from Ryan xD
You might be surprised by the dark themes in One Piece, its a combination of really serious themes but can become goofy/funny/unserious at any moment but Oda does it well. The writing actually goes really deep Oda is very well read and one of the things than makes One Piece so great is how almost every arc retains relevancy in some form or another even 1000 chapters later
One of the early arcs is quite literally happening right now, shit gets dark.
anytime anyplace anywhere laughing or Crying yiu have been warned lol
Confirmed forced sex and annual genocide in the newest arc.
crazy how they put Sisyphus in one piece
*Laboon!*
Honestly just take your time. Its a series that gets better the deeper you go in. I recommend reading by saga if you don't want to get burnt out
TELL ‘EM 🗣️‼️🔥🔥🔥
Completely agree with this. Too many people I feel try to rush into catching up and I get not wanting to miss out on the final saga/biggest reveals. However, it seems like a good portion of people I’ve seen do that tend to get a little fatigued. Nothing wrong with going at your own pace and takings breaks especially since there are definitely parts of the story where the pacing is much slower. Glad we finally got Ryan on board though.
this! do not read by volumes, stop when an arc stops (to make videos for example, which i think is a great way to pace your reading experience)
Gets better as you go then grts slightly but not significantly worse
@@ginoandreano2452 The rule is, based on everyone I know that has started OP recently, as soon as you catch up you regret it. So not catching up does sound good. But at the same time, while waiting sucks, the experience, the theorycrafting, it's way much more enjoyable once you are caught up, as you can discuss it and research it. As for the reading experience itself, for some arcs binging is way better (like the one with the pink guys in the pink land), for others reading them weekly makes them way more enjoyable (like the one that only lasted 6 chapters just after eating cake). And then there's some things that you can only experience as a weekly reader, like not realizing right away that the cute Australian girl was the same from that flashback 3 years ago, and getting to like the new version of the character before making that connection, because at no point Oda tells you "it's the same person" even though he drops several hints about it
WE DID IT! WE BULLIED RYAN INTO READING ONE PIECE!
Now let's get him on the admiral agenda
Nah he finally realized he needs views lmfao
Yup lol
@@Necio7861just cause your bum ass would sell out doesn’t mean he would.
@@RealLifeRyan the one piece is peak
You like trauma and horror that is healed by the indomitable will of humanity... That's One piece. Welcome to the crew, nakama.
Please don’t rush this series, take your time and you won’t regret it. ❤
The joy when someone else decides to read one piece is indescribable, I hope you continue reading it, it only gets better!
It's good to hear that you started reading OP my friend. As a fellow OP reader myself, I humbly suggest you to take your time and digest the story slowly. The more you read the chapters, the more you will understand why this particular manga/anime is that famous. It has ofc its own flaws, but I think and I hope you will not regret reading it. Sometimes it comes down to my mind that I wish I could erase OP from my mind and start over again 😊 Thanks for the review and I hope this continues as a weekly/monthly series in your channel. Cheers my friend.
We've all had that thought xD
The way luffys devil fruit works is that it gives your body the properties of rubber, not stretching abilities. He CAN stretch his body but he needs to apply force to do so, his arms dont just snake out.
I thought about this a lot..
So follow me, i hope it makes sense:
Its literally like rubber and the density of it changes depending on how much strengh he puts in his muscles. Combining that with the motion of a punch(gum gum pistol) and it would be like: throw your fist back with loose biceps/triceps and it would fly equal to a loose thin rubberband with a rock on it. Then cramp the muscle to make the rubber equal to thick industry rubberband= brutal force
@@nicolaischramm3876 not too far off, but he's not necessarily changing the density of his arm/ body. it's more like he's decreasing the amount of tension in his arm by relaxing his muscles and then increasing the amount of tension force he applies when it's extended enough in order to increase the force of impact
this is why the return stroke of his arm is almost always faster than the wind up
@@aganaom1712 Adn why afterwards it whips immediately back to place, instead of winding back
well, at least until they retconned it
@@primus3217 Meh, not really a retcon if you know rubber isn't suppossed to work like how Luffy's using it.
Just finished reading through it last month and it is 100% worth your time. At first it is very silly and irreverent, but there’s deeper and darker themes as it goes along. You will laugh and you will definitely cry.
Before I got into one piece, I had the mindset that Luffys powers are stupid and if the characters aren’t serious how can I take what’s happening seriously? But I had never actually read or watched one piece, and once I read one piece my opinion changed immediately, I am now in love with it and I wait for every single chapter. And even after reading all 1000 chapters, I wish it was 2000!! 🗣️💯
Love your breakdown. Very good breakdown about how whatever your goal is, decide you're gonna do it, and you have to start taking the steps. Very, very good thing that you noted early. Continue reading, my friend. We love it.
You're like so close to learning so much more about these characters and seeing them struggle. Like literally 3 or 4 chapters! Worth the read if you keep at it! I was so pessimistic when i started it in October and now I'm in the second to last arc and nearly caught up! It's that good
I'm so happy! One Piece is my favorite story of all time alongside Final Fantasy 14. With Berserk, Hunter x Hunter & Vinalnd Saga right behind them. Hope you take your time & enjoy your journey brother! Also, cover stories are canon and cover its own canon mini-arcs. So take note of them. They get really important as the story expands!
the whacky character designs help me out as a reader once One Piece gets big enough that there's a ton of characters everywhere. helps you keep them distinct in your mind even if you don't remember the name.
it's my favorite manga, easily, bc it really is an adventure that you get to go along on, and there's a lot there for people of all ages. the story grows with its audience without alienating new younger readers either.
My man I hope you really like this one. One Piece is such a fun ride through and through so take your time with it, read it when you get a chance, and enjoy the journey! Like you said it’s an adventure manga, and there’s a whole lot to discover on this one.
Glad to see you joining the club! My wife and I just got into the series last year, we are currently on episode 616. We love it and put it off for years because it seemed overwhelming, but it’s the best decision we made, I’ve often heard one piece fans say “there are too many episodes until there are not enough” and BOY is that true! We still have more to go but we are loving it and I truly think that people will be missing out, I know the anime and manga have entered its final saga and when the one piece is finally revealed it will be up there with Vader being Luke’s dad. It will be a once in a lifetime reveal and we want to be there for it!
It's amazing to me as a long time One Piece reader hearing you say you're not expecting the greatest action or the deepest character development because that's what you're gonna get. The story, characters and lore just unfold so beautifully and even now on chapter 1103, it's unbelievable how well everything flows. You're gonna enjoy this one. :D
development is a bit of a stretch but i get what you mean
Homie, Berserk and One Piece are my top 2 series period, congratulations on having great taste
Also no matter what your community says, only stick with it if you want to and you enjoy it, everyone can have their own tastes and preferences, and One Piece hasn't been for everyone
One thing that I truly love bout One Piece is that Oda does takes into account everything and things from the first chapters are adressed in chapter 600 or 700 hundred and characters do come back and in a grandosious way, it's honestly amazing how well conected everything is. Even if it on purpose or not, it's truly amazing
One Piece is a different beast.
OP fans truly love to witness someone fall in love with the series, so please do not let numbers influence the amount of content youre putting out.
Read at your own pace, but my advise is that you cover complete arcs in your reviews. One of the reasons I started to follow your channel was because of your Berserk analysis and the deconstruction of themes and characters. That’s what I would like to get from you in OP. Anyways, I hope you have fun. I have been following this series for more than half my life by now and it is undoubtedly my favorite story ever.
Everything you said you wanted and is waiting for is gonna happen. It took me 120 anime episodes to really get into it back in 2011. Now I read the manga weekly. One Piece can give off goofy vibes. It gets sad and heavy, but it also joyful.
And now when we are ”reaching the end” its crazy good. Oda has been going full throttle balls to the walls for 100+ chapters
My favorite manga next to berserk. Best shonen. Amazing well built world and power system. Amazing characters and development of them. Great power system. Elite level writing, plot threads, foreshadows and themes. Amazing at providing commentary at complex world problems and issues like racism, genocide, liberation, freedom, tyrannical authorities, slavery, propaganda/misinformation, oppression, conspiracy and much more. It’s got everything. Eichiro Oda is an absolute legend.
I know some people will hate comparing Berserk and One Piece.
But if there’s one thing I like from both, it has to be their World Building.
Both series are so immersive that you wanna know more!
Not sure about amazing power system, devil fruits are cool don't get me wrong. But haki... People still can't tell whether or not someone is using or not using acoc or future sight, there were so many inconsistencies in wano and egghead that it's honestly unsettling.
May I know what's so great about the power system? I barely got into One Piece so take this with a grain of salt, but from what I can tell there doesn't seem to be any rules to this world. Like eating a Devil Fruit will give you WHATEVER Oda wants. There's no chakra or elemental manipulation or anything. Just magic fruits that give you a shtick.
@@TheGuzeinbuick it’s like JoJo’s stands. But instead of differentiating in terms of range, Devil Fruits are categorized among Logia (elemental powers), Zoan (animal-based form/transformations), and Paramecia (manipulating the body, for a lack of a better term).
Won’t discuss Haki yet since that’s a New World thing meaning it’s like a thing 500+ chapters in
Haki is a spoiler.
You'll be surprised at how dark One Piece can be. Enjoy the ride, take tour time.
Edit: Frequent updates please.
As someone who is current with the story, it’s cool to hear your impressions of the first few volumes. I think you are correct to do a few volumes at a time. The story gets increasingly dense as it goes on so I say enjoy it in small doses as it will take some time to catch up.
Only about half way through the video so far. Sanji's introduction is the first "good" arc and the next arc is what most regard as the main hook to the series. Looking forward to hearing more, assuming this series will continue
Also, might I suggest just doing blind arc reviews instead of x amount of volumes? Many channels have gotten really good views on those(TotallyNotMark, DanielGreen, Merphy, etc) and I know you talk about UA-cam views not doing great right now. Much better to talk about OP in terms of arcs instead of volumes anyway, you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who has any idea where in the story volume 4 is, for example.
I think Syrup Village is criminally underrated.
@@alexham28 Really? I rank it as my second worst lol. I do like it, but it does drag it's ass too much imo.
@UnoriginallyChrisLPs It's definitely lower on my rankings as well, but I don't think it's bad. The intro to Usopp is really good imo and I think Django and Kuro are pretty cool as well.
One Piece is awesome. I can say that it’s not for everyone. Not everyone has the patience or dedication to go through 1000+ chapters of content. Or even the time. If anyone wants to try One Piece, you might be in for the longest journey of consuming a manga.
You can actually read it pretty quick though, I’m on vol 25, it’s been a while since I read another volume, I’ll have to get back to it.
Theres nothing but time if you know how to sneak it for example a friend of mine who runs his own business and works for someone else while studying on the side and in a relationship and travels between cities was able to incorporate 10 chapters a day and cleared it in 4 and. A half months
My God, Never thought he would actually do it
props....👏
He should've started with Bleach though...
I wonder if you saw Pandaman in chapter 44 it's his first appearance in the manga and Oda just has this character in very random backgrounds throughout the story like a very cool easter egg to look out for. Plus talking about whether or not characters come back cracked me up lol but happy reading Ryan.
I started watching One Piece in 2002 when the anime began airing on German TV. I began reading the manga in 2009, and I am still hooked. I hope you will find joy in the worldbuilding and characters. It's worth the time.
One of us!!! One of us!!! Let's get it baby and I'm gonna be so thrilled to see what you think about this goofy wacky pirate adventure plus when that moment clicks with you in the series you'll wish you would have started sooner lul but man you got so great stuff in east blue to go if I remember right.
"starts with a kid cutting himself, I'm in!" Cracked me up lmao coming from berserk type of manga to one piece is a change but one piece does have dark themes just keep going bruh!
You like trauma and horror that is healed by the indomitable will of humanity... That's One piece. Welcome to the crew, nakama.
One Piece is adventure for sure, it's candy coated horror and trauma as well. But being adventure, when a fight comes up, we ask 'why' do we fight, not 'how' do we win. That's what matters.
Fights are just a vehicle to move the plot along. They aren't the point. Lastly, yea the story hasn't really started yet. The first 100 chapters is basically the prologue.
Trust, I remember when I wasn't into One Piece, and when my cousin wasn't into it, I kept putting it off. Its too long, im not into shonen and anime in general, I don't like when characters constantly do name their attacks.
Then, when I started watching it, I found myself having fun with it and seeing the potential it has. I am now caught up in both anime and manga and can say it's literally my second favorite manga.
Funny enough, a lot of your early issues are solved in the next few chapters and as well as current/modern one peice is what you describe as what you like in manga. (Without losing that goofy charm, one piece has.) [The character designs are still really silly at times, lol]
The Grand Line has already been mentioned in the chapter with Gaimon. There Devil Fruits are more common then let's say in the East Blue, Luffy comes from Fusha Village that is even more remote. There DFs are not a common thing at all, that is why some people doesn't know about their existence.
I'm really glad you decided to read OP. Nami and Sanji (and someone not mentioned) are my favorites characters. Hope you enjoy the journey, and that you don't get spoiled of things. Personally, I would love little updates like this. Maybe one for each arc or each saga. Looks like you'll hit the 5k mark soon!
Happy to hear you've begun your One Piece journey Ryan. I hope you continue to find enjoyment and fulfillment in the chapters and volumes to come. If you choose to continue, do so at your own pace. The manga is the most efficient method to consume the series as the anime suffers from pacing issues, the live action is literally decades behind the current story, and who knows how much the anime remake by WIT will adapt. Then again, if you reach a point where One Piece just isn't your thing, there's no shame in dropping it.
Regarding the pacing issues of the anime, I've discovered this fan project called One Pace that tries to cut the episodes in a better way. I admittedly haven't properly looked into it myself as I caught up with the anime maybe ten years ago by now, but it seems to be very good. Definitely worth a try
@@Jaguarkralle1 I can absolutely vouch for One Pace! It's what I used to binge the whole series last year and it was so worth it
That's how it starts. Know you are stuck & therefore escape.
One of us! One of us! ONE OF US!!!!!
Joking aside have fun if you plan on continuing with it 😊
I disliked anime my whole life and actually made passing jokes about “weebs” as well, then my friends showed me berserk and that’s pretty much all I enjoyed, and I found your channel. A few years later and I’m almost caught on one piece and have almost every berserk book! One piece is a long journey, it won’t always be easy, but it will be worth it :)
Welcome to the crew! Honestly take your time with it! It's one hell of a journey so the more you read into it, the better it'll get. The first 100 chapters will definitely do something! Enjoy it and take your time! It's still not over 😂
omg he´s doing it... I love 2 manga more than any: Berserk and One Piece
Glad to be following your journey
Can't wait for him to find out this isn't the happy go lucky series he thinks it is (aka fisher tiger and kuma flashbacks)
Let's gooooo.
I really hope you checked the official digital coloring
one piece is one of the best manga ever made and this is coming from a huge fucking berserk fan
I highly recomend that you check out the digital colored version which goes up to chapter 1004 so far. One piece is far too colorful a world to read in black and white
also, I am warning you first hand, you will laugh and cry a lot.
ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!...
About the "how much did Oda have planned from the beginning?" question:
He has had the broad strokes planned from the beginning. The end specifically was one thing in his mind when he started, and is still the same thing in his mind (and is supposedly in a safe somewhere in case something happens to Oda before he can finish the series, though no idea if that's true).
The story that was originally planned to be 5 years has just massively expanded _in the middle,_ with Oda adding characters and storylines that slowly lead towards that eventual conclusion.
You have to read to chapter 100 for sure. Next 2 arcs are so good and prepare you for more.
Take your time man, I bet you'll love it. It gets better over time in my opinion
I’m an up to date one piece reader and hearing you talk about your first 40+ chaps is entertaining to me.
I want to see how your emotions change towards the story and see how you start getting more and more absorbed in the world.
Keep on giving updates.
Oh man, from a storytelling point of view you stopped at a really weird point, especially for what you want from Zoro.
Without spoiling anything, pretty much everything you brought up does get answered.
Looking forward to the rest of your experience on this journey!
Glad to hear it. Hope it jives with you. It’s def a slower start but things do ramp up and once the world gets big enough you enjoy how different characters are reacting to world events.
For the first half of one piece, I would just try to enjoy it for what it is. Especially enjoy the adventure . These are the “golden age” times of the manga.
Facts
One piece is definitely something that try’s to be both a healthy blend of wacky and depressingly real. I never would’ve suspected the themes of the series that would develop, and it’s genuinely a roller coaster of emotions from even the most unlikely of characters. Everything feels like it wraps together flawlessly to the point it feels like a genuine world with its own politics, cultures, and societies. It’s one of if not the best pieces of writing I’ve ever experienced.
I can't believe this happened
Yoooo welcome to one piece
16:18, yes all devil fruit eaters become weakened hammers when they fall into water, and thus is a major weakness because in One Piece's world, you're more likely to be at a disadvantage because you're a pirate at sea.
You nailed it on the adventure appeal to one piece it knocks all of those things out of the park
Ryan you have no Idea how happy this has made me you are probably the only person I have wanted to hear about one piece from.
I for one would love to see regular reviews of a few volumes at a time. Would love to hear your thoughts as you get deeper into this masterpiece
7:45
Gold Roger. If you watch the anime, they recap that every fucking episode, so they never let you forget.
(And don't worry, Oda has confirmed the One Piece is a physical treasure, none of that "it was the friends you made along the way" bullshit)
I’m so happy! Dude enjoy the journey! You will not regret it! It’s a series that has everything, great characters, an engaging story with an ongoing mystery, hilarious comedy, heartbreaking drama, unforgettable fight scenes and tremendous word building. I’m so stoked you are reading One piece man!
"i do enjoy stories that have a lot of darker themes and like horrendous things that happen to him like brutally depressing stories but with that hope of the indomitable will of the human spirit to rise and overcome those horrible things"
That's it you've just perfectly described One Piece lmao
I wish you a good journey
Edit: unfortunately, Oda definitely did not down it down with the wackiness 😂 but I think you'll still love it
If you gonna review the series, do it in arc reviews. You get some views and more audience.
So excited that you have finally started your One Piece journey! I think reviewing 5 volumes per video works, but the best way ist probably to review the different sagas (East Blue, Alabasta, Skypia, Water 7 etc.). Regardless of how you choose to do it, I’m really looking forward to more One Piece content from you 🔥
"It's grounded in the fact that people don't have superpowers."
- My good man, I love the optimism of early One Piece.
Glad you finally started it lol, I knew the day would one day come. You should review it by Arcs or by Sagas. That's how people usually review the One Piece manga as it helps thematically as well as with discoverability on UA-cam as people tend to search for Arc reviews. If you go by Arcs, the earlier ones in the story tend to be on the shorter side (by One Piece standards) but later on arcs can be anywhere from 15 chapters to 150 and so they have good talking material as well as a concluded storyline. Regardless of how you want to progress, have fun reading it.
Oh the OP community is huge. We love finding people getting introduced into the story. Don't even bother holding back spoilers.
For now you could do up to vol. 10. But i think after that just reviewing by arc is the usually way people tend to do it. But i love that you started the series, always wondered if you ever read it but glad you're starting the journey!
1:44 bro described One Piece without even knowing
Oh boy! Here we go, I have no clue who you are or what you do but you starting One Piece I wish you good luck as you turn your entire UA-cam channel into a One Piece channel.
One of our Nakama 🐐
happy to hear your thoughts on it and see you checking it out! let’s hope to see the series continue
Pay attention to cover stories, they are cannon and very important !
Also, basically, Luffy is the incarnation of Carpe Diem, he wants to do things the day for the day, and would rather die than gettin g spoiled of the One Piece, or even his journey.
21k views in just 20 hours, I'm new to your channel and subscribed after watching.
Thank you for taking the dive into OP, I think you're in for the telling of a great story! The great thing about OP is the depth of the story as it goes on - it does have dark themes and moments of goofiness but overall the characters are the ones you'll fall in love with. Not just the main cast but many of the side characters and even the villains. I would definitely love to see you continue to review it!
15:50 Losing the ability to swim is shared between all of the devil fruits, but it’s a bit more than that. It’s more like a generic susceptibility to water. You sink like a rock and it weakens you to the point of uselessness.
The fruits are also borderline mythical at the point you’re at now, but we end up going places which have higher concentrations of devil fruit eaters who make them feel much more commonplace than they are in most of the world.
20:30 “is it bad that I want to ship Zoro with Nami?”
Yes lol. There are no romantic relationships among the crew. They’re all more like siblings than significant others.
24:45 “Can you tone it down just a little bit on the character designs?”
Get ready for the exact opposite lmao. This series is as much a comedy as it is an action drama.
Yoo I'm hyped for the one piece kids. Def do arc reviews instead of volume reviews. The kids will def do well on ur channel. Also take your time!
One might look goofy but it has alot of dark themes and moments
Hope you enjoy reading. I love the honesty. I think a lot of the newer OP youtubers are trying too hard to appease fans making it seem forced. Subscribed for more. ✌️
Love it! Reviews would be awesome! You could review individual arcs (or sagas) as you finish them. You are now on the Baratie arc ( chapters 42-68.), which is part of the East Blue Saga.
Agreed, its probably talking about it arc wise. that arcs ger usually gradually longer, so probably for the best
Glad you're finally checking it out! Take your time and enjoy the journey ahead :)
As soon as you said you like stories that explore darker themes and the indomitable will of the human spirit I became invested in your journey of OP 😂 sure it may not be overall as dark as some series, but I think the best way to describe it isn't that it's about adventure, but it is a series about the indomitable will of the human spirit through medium of an adventure. I hope you decide to post regular updates!
one of the most layered stories i’ve read that gets better with time ‼️ can’t wait to see your thoughts on future sagas
OP gets dark don’t worry lol
One piece fans love to watch other people get into one piece. It always starts the same, they’re skeptical, maybe they don’t read manga, but then there’s a point where they’re making 40 minute videos, they’re buying straw hats, then they catch up and they become weekly reviewers. Seen it a dozen times
To me it feels like One Piece is the true spiritual successor to Dragonball in a lot of ways
I'm glad you started reading one piece. I'm excited for you to continue. I think that things will really pick up. And you'll get exactly the kind of stuff that you're looking for good luck
Tte one pieeece! THE ONE PIECE IS REAAAAL!!!!
Great to see and hear that you start touching this still ongoing masterpiece. Hurry up and be part of all who dig deeper after a chapter has dropped. The feeling is insane!
Ryan D. Legend
"I don't have much to say about Buggy", oh just you wait.
One piece gets pretty dark
Dont give subtle hints ffs you guys cant help yourself do ya? Let the fucking man experience it 100% fucking blind! Seriously sick of smart ass people giving hints and shit.
Ryan Continúa!!! El manga se pone cada vez mejor y tiene varias partes muy oscuras con tramas adultas
Berserk and One Piece are both of my favorite mangas, and it is a delight to see you finally read it as well!!!
So glad you started One Piece Ryan! Loved what you had to say especially about the dream and goal aspect which is indeed a huge part of the story. Hopefully this does well enough for more videos like this one. The story does get more serious and many regards as time goes on but also still always has plenty of goofy stuff. Really curious to hear your thoughts.
One Piece is one of this uncommon series where the author plants some plot seeds the reader ignores but, a lot later, it's revealed as a critical plot matter. The reader thinks he/she knows the characters, but their story is going to be revealed little by little. At same time, all the characters evolve, physical and emotionally. Be patient, Ryan. It's not Berserk and it doesn't pretend to be it, but beneath the fun and the light story, there is a much more deep plot and themes in this crazy world with crazy people.
Too bad Oda recently just forces in major things in the story without any leadup. Those black-winged angel dudes and the whole Sun God Nika thing had no foreshadowing or loose ends whatsoever (Skypiea has nothing to do with Gear 5).
It feels like he understands the story is ending and forces in some WTF moments before the actual major reveals (IMU, Thé One Piece, Raftel, Luffy's dream,...) because the fans eat them up like candy.
@@m1bl4ni mean in the reverie they mentioned that vegapunk had developed something that would replace the warlords (those being the seraphim) but yeah the nika stuff is kinda weird
@@m1bl4n Ok lmao not like we had whole cake island and big mom literally saying she was missing only 3 races from completing her kingdom.
The "black wing angle dude" was foreshadowed way back then. Same with the other missomg races and we know all 3 now woth bunaneer being the final missing one
@@loopygordoThey meant the Seraphim not the Lunarians
@@Ash_Wen-li that just makes my point stronger. Foreshadowing for them is there with the dissolution of the warlord system.
You could read until the end of of Arlong Park (vol. 11) for the next video and then continue arc for arc or saga for saga. After Arlong Park you will have a decent taste of what the themes and the emotional range of One Piece are going to develop into. That's why people always recommend to at least finish the first 11 volumes.
Just sayin'. One Piece gets REAL dark the farther you go. It doesnt show anything too graphic, but it insinuates a lot that is terrible, and in some cases shows some pretty awful atrocities. Like...its hard to get much worse than the material it covers. Amazingly One Piece balances its goofy nature, with outlandish comedy, and interweaves amazing drama and heartache. This of course fits the theme of not letting your past define you, and as long as you are following or working towards your dream, you are living your best life
You could have added a spoiler tag about whether One Piece gets dark or not.
Example: 'spoiler whether One Piece gets dark:'
Or you could have said nothing and let him discover it all himself
ARC/CHAPTER GUIDE:
East Blue Saga; Prologue; Saga #1 (100 chapters)
Arc 01, ch 1-7
Arc 02, ch 8-21
Arc 03, ch 22-41
Arc 04, ch 42-68
Arc 05, ch 69-95
Arc 06, ch 96-100
If you need a guide. Booktubers usually do a review by Arcs or Sagas.
Really hope you like it and get to experience the ending with the whole community.
Hell yeah! Been waiting for the one piece reviews forever!
I'm really happy you gave One Piece a chance, I would love to see you read 6-10 and get to Arlong Park which is an incredible, well-written arc. It's definitely a very flawed series, but it's still one of my favourite manga ever
I remember when you had 4k subs and was a mainly berserk review channel. Haven't watched much since but i will watch every OP video you release! OP is the GOAT and you will see it very soon
As someone who grew up with the big 3. One piece is the best. And i did not appreciate it until i was ~30 and became a socialist lol
When i was a teenager naruto and bleach were my shit. But one piece has that grand and deep themes i did not expect from it.
My favorite thing from one piece is GEOPOLITICS! rare in manga imo :p
For context my top 3 manga are, FMA, HxH. And One Piece.
They all share dna more than the big 3 imo
Never seen your channel but really enjoyed your thoughts on this! I feel like a lot of your worries will be address in volumes 6-10! Getting through that portion of the story took me nearly two years, dropping it so many times. But this next arc picks up the pace a lot and the next one made me completely fell in love with the series.
Hope you get to read it and enjoy the story!
