RESPECT!!!
Thanks for taking the time to make this list, fellow traveler. May the seas be as calm as possible on your journey to find the One Piece
Thank you!
Edit: typ0 correction
Did I click on a critical Role episode? Nope nope lolol
Perona Napier is either highly cursed or very very blessed.
Blursed!
Blursed
Both.
Both is good
Exactly
That laugh caught me offguard, ngl-
Legend says zorro sense of direction will find the one piece 😅
I'm on the firm belief that if he wasn't for Nami taking him from island to island, he would've found it by chapter 300
I could also see him not realize it or be like "that's cool" and then walk away
I still love that he got his hands on a sword that would "guide him to his death" but his sense of direction is so bad he went the opposite direction.
The crew gets to the One Piece, and Zoro looks around "Oh hey, I've been here before! Yeah, when I first left my island I passed through here!"
@@7Seraphem7 I was JUST thinking the EXACT same thing!!! Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!
My therapist: perona merphy isnt real, she cant hurt you.
Perona merphy: horohorohorohoro 👻👻
Hahahahaha mate that had me in stitches 😂
I love the cosplay though! Merphy's commitment is amazing hahah
@@adoniscreed4031 The cosplay is amazing tbf. Props to merphy
@@DerynIDavies it is, but also very startling at the beginning of the video.
I think at this point she is even a bigger fan than many of us.. and she is only at the half way point.
That's the reason why
GOOD
to be fair, her loving One Piece makes sense considering how much her monthly UA-cam checks have increased ever since she started covering it. I'd love something too if it was that fun and made me money. Still though, love Merphy and hope that her purse continues to increase in weight.
Can you be a fan of one piece without being as invested as merphy is right now?
No shot I think her fresh eyed take is so intriguing though as it’s been so long since I didn’t know the things I do now. I also wonder at times if I picked up things she did right away cause it’s hard to remember that far back I was 13 on my first read 15 years ago. I can’t imagine anyone besides Oda loving one piece more than I do possibly as much but it’s been with me over half my life.
YOU DID THE LAUGH TOO WHATTTTT
Merphy Napier cosplay icon lololololol. I mean horororo
'Let's be honest, One Piece is also my favorite series'.
I genuinely feel so happy every time a new fan experiences this masterpiece.
I was about to write this comment
When you introduce a friend to one piece and they begin asking you questions is the best.
Yea that is the best feeling .love merphy she’s cool.😎
its always rewarding welcoming a new crew member
One of my favourite Zoro quotes translates roughly to "A wound that would make an ordinary man unconscious, I won't lose to it. A wound that would kill an ordinary person, I won't lose to it! To face one who is extraordinary, Hawk Eyes - I can't allow myself to be ordinary!" His devotion to Luffy and his drive to better himself rank him firmly as my second favourite character, just below Luffy himself. Loved gushing over him along with you
How funny would it be if Zoro and Buggy were the one to find the One Piece? One due to his ability to fail upwards into success and another due to sheer bad sense of directions.
If zoro is the first one to find the one piece and if it happens out of no where. That would be a great end of chapter cliffhanger.
I don't remember where he said this.
@@vailingbow1068 I think it was against Hachi
@@rizvan1632 oh right. I can vaguely remember that. He was spiking a fever and all that.
amazing cosplay 🔥🔥.
OH dear god a simp, it's borderline decent. She needs some gym time before she can try pulling of cosplays.
I’d buy that for a dollar! 🤤
Zoro's complete lack of a sense of direction is the funniest thing to me how did he ever get anywhere
This is the same guy that couldn’t get back home because he got lost. So he defeated people who had bounties for money who were usually pirates to sustain himself of his basic needs. Then he met luffy...........
Years ago I thought the curse of Sandai Kitetsu was that it gave him bad sense of direction lmao.
@@ugbadg7787 I mean that's not so bad, a huge percentage of people in our world would be unable to return home without help if they sailed without modern equipment. His really bad sense of direction only truly began after they entered the Grandline
He may not be be up where he wanted too but he always ends up where he is needed
Why I love Merphy (So far): She fell in love with One Piece as much as the long term fans, and expresses her thoughts so well
One of my favorite Zoro moments is when Arlong removes his bandages. Arlong goes from total confidence, playing with Sanji and Zoro, to absolute fear. Seeing Zoro’s wound from Mihawk made him 180 how seriously he takes the situation and instantly try to kill Zoro.
My favorite part about Zoro is the fact that even though he was willing to die rather than losing if it meant not being able to achieve his dreams. That's not the same as risking your life, that's literally choosing death. EVEN THOUGH he is like that, he still puts Luffy's dream above his own. In the Mihawk fight he showed he'd rather die than not achieve his dream, and in Thriller Bark he showed he'd rather save Luffy's dream than save his own. So it goes Life < Dream < Luffy's Dream and that is awesome
It’s that all or nothing mentality that merph mentioned in the video
Not only Luffy's dream, just Luffy in general I think. (I know this probably goes without saying, I guess I just wanted to add that)
But yeah, I love that about him as well
28 minutes? It seems the rest of the video got lost😂
I just realized she’s dressed as Post timeskip Perona in the first half, the second one was pretimeskip Perona, so that must mean she’s read the next arc!
Nice attention!! I didnt notice at first
Or that since she's aware of the TS she just uses that and hasn't actually started that yet.
Or maybe she just looked up pictures or costumes without context from when in the story they are
Merphy made a "no1 understand Zoro" before Nux did, and he talked about it for almost 2 years....
also Merphy nice vid and i hope next week will be the start of your New World adventure! it starts a bit slow, but it's overall amazing.
Lmao too true
Oh btw she will probably be doing the re review of skypiea next.
Skypiea will be next. She is still doing her re-read.
@@sircheese288 a bit dissapointing, i wanted her to see whats up next. But well i can understand that she wants to re-read to remember better and understand more, i have re-read and re-watched for years ever since i caught up to latest chapters.
this is the closest we've got from a "no one understands zoro" video.
@@CarbibourNeil Morj
Zoro only gets better the arc that in the manga at the moment has some of his most epic moments in the series
Nor really. He just gets stronger, but shallow
How did u comment this 3 days ago?????

@@KLawrence-mn7gh Not at all you must not be caught up or aren’t paying attention
I was expecting Skypia review. But zoro video with persona cosplay was a great surprise ❤️
Who's Zoro's stand though 👀😂
OMG. Sky island for me is the most fantasy arc and I love it
@@dendiputra6690 Jaya and Skypiea is my favorite arc. I love the adventure and worldbuilding!
Same :D
Fun fact: Zoro sleeps on the ship so often during the day because he takes the most watches at night
That’s true oda said in an SBS that he only sleeps 3 hours a night which is the least on the crew
If he aint training, he sleeping
True. All Bounty Hunter and Baroque Works in Whiskey Peak become witness.
True, when Vivi was missing the strawhats she said "no swordsman training" in the middle of night lol
Perona merphy, yesssss!
"this was WAY more rambly than i intended it to be"
would it really be a Merphy Napier video if it weren't that?
never apologize, i am here for ALL of the rambling chaos.
Would it ever really be any One Piece (or anything one is so fond of) video if it weren't rambly?
I like Zoro due to his strong sense of loyalty and direction.
There is something wrong here, I can sense it
@@iamdivan7368 LMAO
He's, indeed, have a strong sense of direction
“Let’s be real, One Piece is also my favorite series”
*Ladies and gentlemen, we got her.*
A character willing to die for his own dreams is something I admire in stories. A character willing to put aside his own dreams to help somebody else... That hits me the hardest, and One Piece is filled with that. Maybe it is because Luffy. He's the first to put aside his dreams and fight for freedom and stuff like that, so I guess his own crew live up to such a great captain.
Such a great point!! 🥹
17:30 Him carrying the dream of Kuina alongside his own is the first clear example of what Oda means by "inherited will"
Its odd but my favorite Zoro scene was when he threw the black sword in the air and held his hand out to see if his luck is stronger than the curse of the sword. It was so bad ass and there was no enemy to defeat. Just him and the sword.
Love your Zoro talk! Just want to add a bit here since he's one of my favs in the series.
I think a small detail a lot of people overlook a little in Zoro's development is when he himself finally started to expand what his ideas of what the "greatest swordsmen" encompasses when fighting Mr 1. He's always been a nice guy who is ready to help his friends and innocent people, but in that fight he really starts to think about his crew and the people he needs to protect which was the catalyst to finding the power to cut steel, to get even stronger. So while it never changes who Zoro is at the end of the day, it combined his drive to be the best swordsmen with his core character/morals which sets up stuff like "nothing happened". At the end of their fight we even get a bit where Zoro say's some things to the effect of somethings are too precious to cut in response to Mr. 1, showing that he thinks being the "greatest swordsmen" isn't just about cutting things and fighting for the sake of fighting anymore.
Yeah that part where he swings at the palm tree leaves and doesnt cut them gave me chills. Then he says a true swordsman chooses what to cut. Now I'm going to cut through steel
when merphy said this 25:04..... i felt that.
Yes... Let the cringe flow through you.
Super cringeee but I love it, she did not butcher it at all I am impressed
That it, she's officialy hooked so badly she now cosplays into a secondary (tertiary?) character...
Well done everyone! Job's done!! 😁😎 #PeronaForNakama ❤👻
We did it bois!
One of Us...One of US...One of US...One of US...One of US...One of US...One of US
I was legit taking a sip of water when I opened this video. Then i saw the Cosplay and now I have a watery mess on my desk that I have to clean up because I legit did a spit take xD I fucking LOVE it!!! AAAHHH!!
That's why I think Zoro and Sanji are absolutely best for being his hands,Zoro always looks out for his captain and Sanji always looks out for the crew like Zoro saying to his captain that Ussop can't come and Sanji explaining to Nami and the rest , also Zoro's Nothing Happened moment is saving his captain and Sanji's Thanks I Needed A Light is for saving Nami and Ussop. One more thing Zoro is basically the demon of the crew ,he most of the time directly challenges his opponents like Ryuma ,Kaku , Daz bones etc. While Sanji being the guardian angel cause most of Sanji's fights come from saving his crew member like saving vivi from Bon clay ,Ussop from Jabra ,Nami from that pervert (I don't remember his name) , etc. That's why they create the perfect dynamic and it's always fun seeing either of them on screen.
Dynamic*
Oh the pervert you were talking about is Absolom
@@darknesswave100 yeah that guy.
Mf Zoro ALWAYS LOOKS OUT FOR THE CREW he done that shit WAAAAAAAY more times than Sanji hell he been doing that shit before we knew the name Sanji 💀💀 stop talking like an idiot
"The reason zoro is my least favorite character is because he's an annoying mosshead who deserves a good kick to the face."
-Sanji
There is a lot about Zoro that I love, but there's one thing in particular that is often displayed pre-timeskip and doesn't get mentioned often enough for some reason. While being somewhat a side character, Zoro is someone who builds his legend alongside Luffy and whose renown up until Marineford has probably outgrown even his captain's.
Every big player in East Blue knew who he was and was cautios of him - Buggy, Don Krieg and Arlong, and even the Baroque Works were trying to hire him. Often when he gets on the stage people get shocked that a beast like that is not in charge of the whole crew and can actually obey someone like Luffy, like we saw in Water 7 and Sabaody.
And when you're a pirate with a moniker of "Pirate Hunter" and such a reputation, said pirates will definitely watch out for you.
In terms of fame he's probably the most outstanding Straw Hat at least at this point of the story, and yet he's the most loyal of them. There's also parallels between him and Rayleigh which just tell me that his legend will probably even outlive Luffy's.
Definitely one of my favorite characters in this story.
And that Perona ad is something that I'll look forward for in every video from now on :)
I love all Strawhats, but Luffy and Zoro have my heart sience day one, i admire them so much, Luffy's happines and honesty ❤, Zoro's determination, loyalty, kindness, serenity and hardworking ❤, they are so similar and diferent at the same time
Same! I love the Straw Hats but Zoro and Luffy are my faves. I can't choose one between them so whenever someone asks me who's my favorite character I always say Luffy and Zoro. It's their shared goals of becoming the best, their compassionate nature, Luffy's optimism and empathy and Zoro's dedication towards his captain and the loyalty that makes them awesome in my opinion. I love this duo!
One of my favorite tiny things in this wonderful massive epic is when in Alabasta Zoro lets Chopper ride on his shoulders. The subtle protective older brother vibes Zolo has with most of the rest of the crew is just fantastic. Love it to bits.
I know she’s taking her time and enjoying herself but I’m dying for her to catch up cuz I want to see more reactionssss and theories about what’s to come
I just want to see her reaction at the antagonist crew of the next arc xDDD
@@AnyMEmdq of Hody?
@@squeezy1207 There's another arc before that, and don't mention details, please
Shits gonna get wild when she hits the current stuff
@@AnyMEmdq shes gonna split up the reunion and fishman island?
The fact that Zoro is both the strongest and also the most nurturing of the straw hats, yes he’s deadly but he’s also so caring.
This video is basically making the case for why Zoro is technically the vice-captain of the crew even if he’s never called that officially. He is to Luffy what Rayleigh was to Roger.
I think the thing that really makes the nothing happened moment for me is something I don't find people talk about ever and it's at the very beginning when Zoro agrees to join Luffy he says something along the lines of I will join you, but if helping you pursue your dreams ever hinders my dream, then I will not hesitate to leave. What gets me is that I think he still lives by that statement, but with the nothing happens scene we fully see that Zoro's dream is no longer just to become the greatest swordsman, but also to see Luffy's dreams through. And I think that is also why he threatened to leave the crew after Enies Lobby, because in that moment if he let Usopp push his way back onto the crew without Luffy commanding the respect he deserved, then how would Luffy ever be able to fulfil his own dream. So if Luffy's dream is unattainable then it only serves to hinder Zoro on his journey to being the greatest swordsman.
Yeah I think zoro still wants to accomplish his dream but luffy's and everybody else's dreams are just as important to him since they're part of the same crew. His sense of loyalty is insane. Even with sanji who annoys him you see throughout the series that when it comes down to it he never hesitates to come to his aid. Sure it's a rivalry but that doesnt get in the way of having each other's backs
Perona Napier reminds me of that video of SuperMechaFrieza where she went from saying 'no way' to doing One Piece to absolutely rocking extravagant One Piece cosplay, how the time passed and how much One Piece can change people
Cant say I was expecting this to open with a "Ghost girl" cosplay
Zoro is my favourite fictional character, and your video did him so much justice! My favourite thing about him is that he is the first to call luffy out when he is doing wrong but also the first to back him up when luffy needs help
I love that Perona cosplay 🥰💕🤗
and that's why Zoro is, and will forever be, my #1
The Perona Cosplay was the unexpected laugh I needed today.
Keep being awesome Merphy and have a great day 😀
That Perona laugh was pitch perfect. Mad respect 😂👏🏼👏🏼
Hello! Zoro is my favorite character too. If you love him now wait until you see THAT moment. Happy to see you enjoying this series.
I was not expecting Perona Merph and what’s wild is how right you got the laugh too. Well done, that was an expert play right there.
But over all loved the video, it was well done. Zoro is one of my favorites.
SHE SAID ONE PIECE IS HER FAVORITE SERIES!!!!!
This is very well timed with the manga rn. Zoro hype
Zoro is a Ride or Die for Luffy. I love Ride or Die types. Unwavering loyalty is the shit!
This video was everything I needed today. Zoro is such a well developed, complex and lovable character and you said it best in this video. I just love listening to you talking about how much you love the series and the characters.
Honestly, it is such a great time to be a fan of One Piece. Volume 100 released today and had a big celebration with big projects, the One Piece live action Netflix series adaptation just revealed their logo. Chapter 1024 dropped today and had some important Zoro news. There is just so much to love about this series.
Tbh, I did not expect the Perona cosplay but I loved it! Seeing your ad for this site that helps you write awakened in me the desire to write. When I was a teenager, I used to read a lot of books and I really wanted to write my own so I did write some fanfiction (I was 14 lol). But then I got older and I started to read less and less books, then I got into anime and manga, then I started to watch less and less anime and now I really do not find so many things interesting, it is very hard for a piece of media to catch and mantain my interest. I always wanted to write fantasy books, but seeing the level of Oda s storytelling kind of intimidated me because I realised that I could never reach that genius level. But in the future I am sure that I will write and publish fantasy books because, as we learn from One Piece, we need to follow our dreams and work hard to achieve them. Seeing you ad for Camfire Blaze inspired me to want to get back into writing, cause I have a lot of ideas. Your One Piece videos really put a smile on my face. Thank you for everything!
How fitting, because of the latest chapter, that we get a Zoro video today 😁
Damn I just realized Murphy has a pretty nice pair
You remember that one time when nothing happened?? That's my favorite moment in all of fiction.
Wonderful! Zoro is just the best character. I wish we could get more thoughts from his perspective like when he wandered around Skypeia by himself.
it should be safe for her to watch the nissin commercials now
one piece community help me
I didnt think about that. Good point.
If I'm not alive when OP ends, i just know that I enjoyed the journey to get there, and the fact that i heard Merphy's Horohoro. That was the one piece i didn't expect i wanted.
Just imagine the countless nakamas we lost along the way, I really hope we get there soon because our world is getting crazier
everytime I lose my patience driving, to refrain myself from doing reckless surpasses or going too fast, I think either "Imagine there is a kid in the car" or "One Piece needs to finish before I die"
Perona laugh alone made this video *chef's kiss*
Hey Merphy, I think after you have finished the Skypia re read you should also read Chapter 0. It's a special chapter that works as a little prequel to One Piece.
I picked this series back up about 12 years ago now and have very much enjoyed going through it all again with you. Zoro is my favorite character in the series and you pretty much described my reasons why perfectly. Ultimate drive and ultimate loyalty matched with compassion and humility. Thanks for the video, and I look forward to next Friday!
Zoro video with Perona cosplay?
Well well well, it seems shes become fully integrated into the crew
Cosplay Murph! I needed this in my life!

@@animecontent521 right
When u realize that Murphy is now officially behind the disheveled goblin
1. I love that you did Perona's laugh!!
2. I can hardly wait for you to catch up to the current arc!!
One of my favorite aspects of Zoro is that he's got such an immense respect for people's dreams that he's willing to go out of his way to help others. Plus he wears his honorability around everywhere. I think he's one of the two best crewmates at understanding Luffy (Robin being the other one) and willing to go along with whatever his captain asks of him.
Perona is now my favourite addition to the Murphyverese.
Your Perona laugh is SPOT ON! I loved it
You should watch "Why There is No Fictional Character like Zoro" it is an amazing character analysis that might just open your eyes to things you missed.
Did that have current arc spoilers..? If not, I would 100% recommend it.
It has current arc spoilers, but Mr Morj's video on Zoro was probably the best character analysis I've ever seen and on Zoro in particular
@@simonakhter1919 I often find myself disagreeing with Morj, sadly, so haven't watch that one, but I'll give it a shot
@@AnyMEmdq I see, but please do! The video isn't really an "opinion" of his. Just objective and factual analysis on Zoro, and it's really good.
@@simonakhter1919 I meant I disagree with his conclusions on his analysis xDD I watched it, though, and it is good. Half the video is him repeating himself (I get why, it's like Marge saying "This town is a part of us all a part of us all a part of us all"), and he ignored some stuff, but it's good.
I know the whole crew are family, but I've always seen Zoro and Luffy having that brother bond stronger than the others.
If you enjoy usopp as a character, i would really appreciate one of these for him. Hes by far my favourite one piece character and doesnt get enough credit imo
OMG The ghost Writer cosplay is friggin... genius and adorable. I love it!!! Bravo Merphy... bravo!!! and you didn't even have to pay a celebrity to do it. ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ZORO u droped this 👑.
Campfire Blaze is literally the coolest thing I've ever seen being advertised on UA-cam, thanks!
Also I think Daniel is going to get ahead of you next week. He's gonna be starting the timeskip.
I was not ready to see you cosplay perona. I had to check if I was watching the right channel.
"I'll become so strong that My Name will reach the HEAVENS!!"
- Zoro (10 Year old)
I feel the main reason Zoro offered his own hear in place of luffy is because of something I think he said (I'm not sure) "how can I be the greatest swordsman if I can't even protect my captain" or something along those lines.. basically, his own goal would be unreachable without Luffy
You're really going to love Zoro in the next few arcs he has some AMAZING moments
Zoro has always been and always will be my favorite character, your analysis was absolutely on point, I really enjoyed it! I love how Zoro basically takes away Luffy's weakness. Luffy couldn't be hurt by bullets, couldn't be hurt by Alvidas club and couldn't be hurt by cannonballs, yet he could be cut, and Zoro takes on all enemies who use swords. At this point in the series it's become mostly symbolic, because haki is very important and weaknesses like that can be overcome. But I still think it's an amazing detail with a lot of symbolic value that's often overlooked
Not only wearing a Perona cosplay, but BOTH of her outfits, too... Iconic.
AHHHHHH THE PERONA COSPLAY WAS SO GOOD 😍😍😍😍
Nux taku : "No one understand Zoro"
I live for the Zoro and Chopper moments. Zoro is basically poppa to our Chopper-mon.
Therapist: perona merphy isnt real, she can’t hurt you
Perona merphy: horo-horo-horo
Okay, this got me. I don't know why. But your comment got me to ugly laugh.
@LongDistanceRoommates edit- Perona merphy- Horo Horo Horo
Merphy playing Perona in the Netflix live action confirmed.
This video has been released in such good time...
Not Important, Nothing happened.
Omg I love your Perona cosplay, best ad ever ❤️❤️
Zoro is just the best, many people think he is plain but man did you explain him so we'll. God I love him.
“I like deep diving into characters or specific scenes”
Heh this right here is probably why Op hits you in the feels so much. It is all about hard hitting character moments.
Ghost girl!!!
I am so sorry for saying so, but your parona cosplay has me more excited then I should be, and lost admiring your beauty!
Love what you do, keep on keeping on!
A great discription of one of my favourite characters 👌🏼
(no spoiler) And you couldn't have picked a best timing to make this video about Zoro. There has been some major revalations about his character in the latest chapter, I can't wait for you to catch up everything ! It's crazy what is happening atm
Now I’m waiting for Sanji’s video, you owe him 😂
Zoro is also the big brother to chopper, Oda is always giving those 2 moments of interaction that show this mentor/protector side of Zoro. It is very subtle though.
Wano 👀
You cant hit me with a Perona Cosplay 😂😂
Just need the eyelashes and you perfect hahah!
Sanji fans: So you're chosing that side.
Zoro is truly iconic. He is Honor/Loyalty/Stoic Strength Personified
Wow, its almost like she "understands Zoro" or something...
