Man, watching this again, the animators really killed it on this fight. I don't have much experience with drawing, but I've got to imagine animating the 'break-dance' portions with the kicks as well has gotta be tough. But they made it look clean and fluid. It's all even more impressive since this was pretty early One Piece.
Wow one piece fans surprise me every day, it's true that you don't know much about animation because this is considered an average animation even for its time
The thing that makes early Sanji fights look so great (and Luffy's too to an extent) is the angles that they choose to show. Sanji's style is all about his legs, so you constantly get shots from really low, close angles where they can make his legs look way longer than they actually are so that they flow really well. It's a really great style of animation for a kick-based fighting style
True! When I was a kid, I remember my uncle telling me that Luffy had rubber properties on all his body whereas Sanji had rubber properties on just his legs 😂 I remember believing him until I actually started reading One Piece by myself lol
I really like how bon clay just straight up stopped using his devil fruit. He totally could have kept switching to Nami but knew it was ultimately going to come down to skill- like he didn't want to cheapen the win/loss
Sanji put it best he can’t use the ballet kenpo when he looks like nami. And sanji could trick him into turning back to himself so there wasn’t a point to using his devil fruit anymore
@@Compucles if there's haki/no haki, it's black leg style. Diable Jambe isn't just his Black Leg Style with extreme heat, in that state he becomes stronger, faster, etc, basically all of his stats get vastly boosted with Diable Jambe because that's when he gets heated, literally and figuratively. All of that AND his fighting skills become better, stronger, faster, etc.
Bon Clay was the only person that could match sanji kick for kick in this series. No powers. Just his skills. And that's something hardly seen these days.
*People Seeing Bon Clay for the First Time:* "Pfft. Who's this guy?" *People Who Know Bon Clay:* _crying, saluting_ *Everyone seeing that animation:* _Eneru Reaction Face_
Now, hold up. I know I ain’t the sharpest knife in the draw, but I refuse to believe it took me more that 5 years to realize that they were both using French words in their attacks
This was actually my favorite fight from the arc. Also, that delayed reaction from that last kick is dope, even if I don’t understand the physics behind it
I’m just realizing that happens and I’ve seen this scene a few times and never paid attention, I feel like that was supposed to be some Haki hint as this arc is filled with hints at it and foreshadows of who’s going to have it
@@prolevelcallout4597 it’s probably just adrenaline and shock. Like when problem get shot some don’t even notice it until a few seconds as the pain sets in
I just like how this fight devolved into a slugfest by the end of it. No time for flashy moves, or dodging, they just keep hitting with all they’ve got as the clocks ticks down.
One of my favorite fights in One Piece. Not because of it having the longest or most intense action, but because it really feels like a fight between two warriors pushed to their limits. Bon Clay is a great character, oddities or not. He lost here - but he kept his pride.
@@xnortheast1106 I think he was implying that out of all of sanjis one on one battles this was the one he was most injured in a 1v1 scenario, naturally he had stronger opponents in the future but if we were to downscale each one on one to be all of equal strength fights. Sanji Vs Bon Clay would be the one he's struggled with the most.
Wow, I didn't realise how different the original art style for the show was, until I looked back on this. I love how the artists really draw attention to Sanjis legs, his weapon. Now, with the current style, we don't notice them really unless they're glowing.
Aww. I wanted that this was the scene where Bon Clay tried to create the most ridiculous face ever, and then Sanji said "90% of that was your own face."
gotta love how the wirds they say are just french terms of either body parts (sanji) or numbers/dance (bon clay). really shows their parallels in fighting styles
Watching this back years later…such a battle of real men. Still amazing. The choreography on the sound especially. Never realized back then how well things like that had lined up even this early into the show
Okay, the '' Better animation then seven deadly sins'' is getting repetitive, but a good point on the scene being made in 2005, and how good quality of it despite it being 16 years old.
@@pyrochrys9555 yes, I did watch a few episodes of season 1 back, but didn't continue watching it due to watch fairy tail at the time. Also The scene was made in my birth year is pretty cool.😁
I’ve always been planning to watch One Piece and I feel like I’ve watched several hundred clips of it. But how have I never a fight like this??? Makes me want to watch it even more
I remember how I liked Sanji more as Zoro when I was a kid. Just because I thought it was awesome how Sanji is so strong without weapons and Zoro need weapons. This fight especially was one of my favourite back then.
I never thought there would be a fight were two men break dance while kicking each other and ones naming foods at the top of his lungs he and the other is yelling out French words.
I remember the old fights back in the early days. They were gritty as heck. Some fights felt like such a desperate struggle for survival. That isn't to say the the new fight isn't good, but I have a soft spot for the old days where powers and fighting style are much more grounded.

exactly my thoughts

I really like how bon clay just straight up stopped using his devil fruit. He totally could have kept switching to Nami but knew it was ultimately going to come down to skill- like he didn't want to cheapen the win/loss
It’s because he couldn’t use his Okama kempo in Nami’s form. So if he wanted to take Sanji down it had to be as himself
I think its because he used it and Sanji found a way to counter it and he took a lot of damage for it so not worth it risking it again
Sanji put it best he can’t use the ballet kenpo when he looks like nami. And sanji could trick him into turning back to himself so there wasn’t a point to using his devil fruit anymore
Ur right these sub comments are sad
No at this point he was called out and knew it wasn't going to work.
This was a really enjoyable fight. Bon Clay is such a fun character and Sanji's black leg fighting style is always a joy to watch.
You mean back before he learned how to just overpower most opponents with basic Diable and Haki powered kicks?

Kind of. He did use steel shoes. But yeah, he was a great martial artist.
Vergo was able to match Sanji's kicks.
@@pandaman1331 Yeah, but to be fair, he still had to have had a lot of strength to carry those steel shoes around, especially to move around so fast.

This is a fight nobody talks about nowadays, myself included. Honestly it’s a great fight and deserves more praise.

So whose gonna tell him

He is one of the most loved characters in the community

Oh you’re new in one piece that was one of the best fights of Sanji
one of sanji's best fight
overall this arc was lit
Always
That's when the M3 was established. And all of their fights were awesome.

Yeah. Definitely yeah. Okama Waaaaay!
While I don’t think the animation is especially good, I think it at least holds up a bit.
Who would have thought Bon-chan would become such a great character?
Oda propably did
I love it when crunchyroll posts old one peice clips
Man i really wish Sanji fights another character who uses kicks in the future.
Kizaru 😏
Might fight Kaku one day
Kizaru is the only really strong person who's known mainly for his kicks, a sanji vs kizaru fight like in op 17 would be a dream come true
Germa 66 suit with Vinsmoke Sanji
Hopefuly he will fight kizaru one day .
Alabasta had some of the best fights in the series
Definitely an underated fight from Alabasta in terms of animation. Can't imagine the work it took to animate the breakdancing and kick clashing scenes
Now, hold up. I know I ain’t the sharpest knife in the draw, but I refuse to believe it took me more that 5 years to realize that they were both using French words in their attacks
Bruh, I started reading one piece a few weeks ago and literally just finished this fight 😳 crunchyroll you scary lol

Definitely not the toughest.

At least that's what I took from his comment
That's one of the problems of Zoro. When you fight bladed enemies you tend to end up losing a lot of blood
2:07 always kills me for some reason 😂😂😂 That guttural scream is so extra
0:40 The most iconic fighting scene of this arc.
Honestly one of the best fight sequences in the show and better/alot easier to follow than the more recent stuff
i was genuinely shocked by the quality of the break dance part of the fight , the animators killed it
Bon Clay really didn’t need the devil fruit. He was giving Sanji trouble without it.
Zoro: I can cut someone and they won't notice for half a minute.
Sanji: I can kick someone and they won't fly away for half a minute.
Bon Clay is a legend.
_OKAMA WAYYYY!_
True Okama
He won't be forgotten.
@@josuefairyan iconic okama
0:42 They better recreate this scene in the LA season 2!
This fight was pure gold: No special flashy moves, or Haki, just two dudes kicking the hell out of each other with epic choreography.
It’s crazy how Bon Clay became someone who rivals Luffy in terms of what he’ll go through to help his friends.
Wow, I didn't realise how different the original art style for the show was, until I looked back on this. I love how the artists really draw attention to Sanjis legs, his weapon. Now, with the current style, we don't notice them really unless they're glowing.

I wanted that this was the scene where Bon Clay tried to create the most ridiculous face ever, and then Sanji said "90% of that was your own face."
Just with usopps nose xD
The way bon clay necks goes upside down and to the side before he gets sent spiraling backwards always kills me 😂
gotta love how the wirds they say are just french terms of either body parts (sanji) or numbers/dance (bon clay). really shows their parallels in fighting styles
This whole fight was just French-on-French violence
When two newbies spam Eddys moves in Tekken 0:46
It's funny how they loop the fight animation 😂 🤣 🤣🤣🤣
The Alabasta Arc was awesome. every single fight against the Elite of crocodiles Organisation was epic
I still love this fight scene cause it's one of the few times we see someone who fights the same style as sanji and it's great
Watching this back years later…such a battle of real men. Still amazing. The choreography on the sound especially. Never realized back then how well things like that had lined up even this early into the show
Yeeees! Give us aaall the classic OP fights!!!
0:37 this scene was made in like 2005 and it unironically has better animation that seven deadly sins.
Okay, the '' Better animation then seven deadly sins'' is getting repetitive, but a good point on the scene being made in 2005, and how good quality of it despite it being 16 years old.
In 2002
1. It was made in 2002, which kinda makes it better
2. Did you even watch Seven Deadly Sins?
