Where were the Fish People? I WANT THE FISH PEOPLE TO TAKE OVER!
Soon Daniel, soon
You'll have your mermaid adventure don't worry
Pretty sure one of Whitebeard's dudes was a fishman.
In Japanese, Whitebeard is written the same way as White-Moustache so they decided to go with the cooler translation of Whitebeard
Why are you disrespecting the pirate king BUGGY D CLOWN?
"why is he called whitebeard?" well when you're 22 feet tall and can cause earthquakes you can call yourself anything you want
Hahaha
Yes, but his name in Japanese just means facial hair
He has the power of the mustache, his weapon also one of the legendary swords.
Fact yo! 💯
lmaoo
“Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!”

Daniel: "I could understand when people are not satisfied with how the war ended"
Me: "Obvously you don't know how the fandom sees Shanks"
I know right!!?!
Lmao the fandom wanted shanks to intervene since enies lobby
It's actually more and more satisfying when you see Shanks throughout the story. Guy is just a mistirious power house who can stop a literal war asking to the head of the marines. It's bad ass and world/character building at the same time
Anybody who understands storytelling would be confused to hear how the fandom sees Shanks.

Underrated scene: Whitebeard hugging squard after he stabs him. Whitebeard the GOAT😭
You mean squidward?
“Though you are a fool, I still love you my son” legendary
Thank you! I swear that showed how much Whitebeard was the GOAT
Yeah the significance of that scene was to prove of whitebeards morality and whether he’s actually a good person etc. It proves that he would do the same for any one of his family members, not just ace. Ace isn’t particularly special to him more so than any other of his family members.
Yes, this scene sent chills down my spine. Whitebeard is the best dad.

@@Ausholliday15 who said Akainu is bad?
@@suf1an658 Killing hundreds of civilians for no good reason - Not a bad guy btw.
As far as I'm aware in Japan they use the same word for beard and mustache "Hige" which would just translate to facial hair. So you have Kurohige and Shirohige which would literally translate to black/white facial hair. I guess the English translators just decided "Whitebeard" was better than "White Facial Hair".
wasnt it?
Weird, Japan doesn't discriminate between hair on your lip and hair on your chin?
@@MisterZimbabwe and why's that weird? its just hair on your face within 2 cm of length

I love the page where whitebeard died. “Even in death, even with half his head blown clean away, his body refuses to yield”
RIP the goat
That whole monologue counting his wounds, and then showing his proud back, without a god damn scratch on it, is one of my favourite moments of the entire series.
@@KS-xk2so easily one of the greatest deaths in anime.

@@robertreyes8792 he's going to hate fishman arc to a degree for sure LUL probably less than thriller bark tho
1000th like;)
From our guy Tekking101's vids on beards in One Piece: in the Japanese language, they don't have different words for beards and stache's, all is "facial hair". Ignoring that though, it's telling how strong Whitebeard was that literally no one was willing to point out he had a 'stache, and not a beard.
Whitebeard way more cooler than whitestach anyway
Random person: S...s...sir that's not a... a...
White Beard: A what
Random person: N... n... nothing
The mustache is part of the beard, even in english...there is no wrong terminoligy here, only the wrong assumption on your part . Not sure if "facial hair" also includes eyebrows, if not it's 100% synonymous for beard.
That's not quite true: there are separate words, but they all include the word "beard":
口髭 (literally "mouth beard"): moustache
顎髭 (literally "chin beard"): beard, goatee
頬髯 (literally "cheek beard"): whiskers
You'll notice the second kanji is different each time. In all three cases it means "beard" and is pronounced the same way.
So you understand how a guy with only a moustache can have a nickname that includes the word "beard" in Japanese. Translating it in English as "Whitemoustache" wouldn't have the same ring, or the obvious parallels between Whitebeard *(Edward* Newgate) and One Piece's Blackbeard (Marshall D. *Teach)* or the real world's Blackbeard *(Edward Teach).* Daniel's yin-yang metaphor was right on the money, and the onomastics underline that.
PS: I just checked, and in the original version, Oda-sensei sidesteps this by calling him 「白ひげ」, i.e. not using a kanji. :)
@@Mikeztarp You just made the same mistake and completely missed the point
*Literally* "Chin beard" is not correctly translated as "beard"...that's the issue. The kanji at the end is the literal translation for beard as you even pointed out, so why put the word beard under chin beard next to goatee? Also Whitebeards japanese name doesn't say "literally chinbeard"..."Hige" just means "beard" and all the others are subgroups of "beard".
A moustache is a beard, a goatee is a beard and so on...both Whitebeard and Shirohige are equally correct.
Just to make it clear again, because that's how it is: Every moustache IS A BEARD
The reveal of Ace being Rogers son was incredible. The fact that Luffy and Ace are not blood-related just makes the theme of choosing your own friends and family even better.
I was spoiled about Ace's death on my first read through about the time I got to Alabasta, so I thought I was going to be prepared for it... Oh boy was I wrong.
It's not the death itself that hurt, it's how it impacted Luffy that just punched you right in the gut (pun absolutely intended).
This is the moment Oda became Goda for me.
Same!! I knew about it and I thought I wasn't gonna cry but nope, if Luffy cries I cry.
Same. I had heard about Ace's death and thought I was prepared but when I watched that scene on UA-cam, it still hot me hard, and now I'm started the Saboady Arc, I know MarineFord is coming. I'm so not ready.
Don’t remember if I was spoiled on the first read through or if I just knew it was coming, but yeah I thought I was prepared and I absolutely wasn’t. Of course brother/sibling relationships hit me the way father/son relationships hit daniel, so I was crushed even though we didn’t get to spend as much time with ace as I would normally require to get that invested in a character relationship
Same here, I got spoiled on seeing the 3D2Y movies name lol
Daniel forgot to mention one of the greatest last dying words. ONE PIECE IS REALLLLL
ONE PIECE WAAAAA
JITSUZAI SURUUUUUU
@@wzec73 YOOOOOOOOOO
I mean I never doubted it, so this was kinda just 👍 for me.
Daniel Greene The voice acting in the anime is beautiful, you should watch it.
Buggy is supposed to be the one who just ruins the Marine's attempt to cover up what happens to the war.
He is also the only one comic relief Oda was able to put here to make a tone lighter because the usual crew is gone
Thats how he falls too upwards. Buggy does broadcast it to make luffy even more infamous.
@@iamdivan7368 not sure why oda feels the need to have any comic reliefs at any time. Most mangakas do this too when they aren't funny. It's unnecessary and distracting.
@@crobeastness because humour is one of the best storytelling instruments, and Oda uses it to change tone when he needs to, in the same way that drama is
@@crobeastness because having one tone in a story is bland, we need some contrast so that the serious moments feels serious
Daniel in the beginning of One Piece: I hate this kid, good thing hes long gone...
Daniel now: GOD I LOVE COBY
The side I would choose is Captain Buggy's. His goal makes good sense, get away from all these super powerful weirdos and go find some dang treasure. Not the pirate we deserve, but the one we need.
i swear if hes not involved in getting the one piece oda failed him as a character...he was set up so well in east blue and the paramount war saga it would be a disservice to him...
@@razkable What if Buggy is the narrator? It would give him a large significance to the end game, while also making sense as there's no way Buggy in the story could really get any higher than a Warlord. I think it fits perfectly tbh.
@@ThatCringeCalledIggleboz Current manga spoilers incoming:
Right now it's kind of debated that the narrator is between two individuals: Buggy and Yamato. Currently the favorite is Yamato - since they want to "be Oden" - which would basically make them the chronicler of the Straw Hats as their role in the crew, as no one has filled that spot yet. If Yamato _doesn't_ join the crew (which I find HIGHLY unlikely at this point), Buggy would thus be the favorite considering what is upcoming in chapter 1053 as a revelation that's pretty massive. As for what that means..well, we'll find out _really_ shortly.
@@ojisankusai spoilers through manga 1052
do you REALLY think Buggy's boutta be an emporer though? aint no way in my book. Or are you talking about a different expected revelation?
@@hobogoat2 spoilers for 1053+
Honestly? I'm not 100% sure. But Buggy shares his "special skill" of faking it till he makes it with Usopp, in that their lies/bragging tends to come true. I think the reason it may work out is because Buggy's "dream" isn't to become the Pirate King like Luffy, but to get as much treasure as possible.
EDIT: I also just think it would be _hilarious_ because Shanks is a Yonkou. It'd be just up Oda's alley to make Buggy an Emperor simply because both he and Shanks were on Roger's ship as apprentices.
You foreshadowed yourself Daniel, well played, well played.

@@iamdivan7368 bro💀
What I love is how Oda has built up Blackbeard. He originally comes off as kind of a clown, but in reality he is a genius with plans upon plans upon plans. From the start his whole plan was to take down Whitebeard and take his power and he moved things along in the background to achieve this. The way he went to Impel Down to gather the worst of the worst to fill out his crew which was the whole reason he captured Ace and joined the Warlords to begin with just shows he has been on step ahead of everyone else this whole time.
“The One Piece is real!” Is probably one of the biggest statements made by whitebeard, along with “you’re not who his waiting for” to Blackbeard.
Oh, there's much more to unpack that I made mental notes here.
The lineage (the D.'s), for instance, and the actual Wheel of Time theme, it was quite in the face also; the fact that things will change, and more quickly than the Marine expected.
Luffy will bring the change by finding the One piece.
And at this point (I actually watched these very episodes tonight, I'm at the same point as Daniel), I'm convinced the One Piece is not a physical treasure, it's either the New World/New world order ( exit the Marine Dictature), or even simply a state of mind : the will of the D's (D= smile), which will achieve the demise of the Marines, shared by the whole world population.
The missing century will come into play somehow- the origine of the different kind of powers, their rules, and probably that Wheel of Time thing- in that past, People had something they're now missing and the Marines are protecting (to protect their own power)
Two weeks into One Piece and I already have so many tin foil hat theories!🐉
@@ChristmasLore so I’m caught up to the manga, all I will say is in an SBS Oda stated the one piece does have a physical treasure, but there is definitely more to it.
We are still theorizing on the “D”/“the clan or will of D” and we don’t know what “D” means but the smile is an idea, because of the trend of those with the “D”/“the will of D” dying with a smile ie, Ace, Roger, Saul (the giant from robins backstory) and luffy would have in louge town if buggy did kill him. I forget if a certain comment about the “D” has been stated.
I hope I’ve kept this as spoiler less/ inconsequential spoilers as possible.
(@@ankeragothdragonblood4425, we've just seen Whitebeard and Rogers in a Flashback, Rogers beginning to explain his name, that it wasn't Gold but Gol.D, and was about to tell the meaning of that given lineage, when the flash back ends abruptly, because of the combat in the present)🍃
Thanks, and no, no spoilers 🍃
(Just received my first omnibus today, too 🙂)
Can we get much higher
Real
Imagine being 500 chapters in the story and calling the Pirate King Gol D. Roger "The Last Pirate Lord".
That made me chuckle Mr Goblin but I must hate you deeply for it, it would be like being in book 4 of the WoT and calling Rand "The New Dragon Dude ".
For real. How do you read and be invested in a story so much and literally not know anyone's name? He even has notes in from of him. It's the same in everyone of his OP reviews
He read multiple series which in turn have multiple characters, it's hard for him to keep track of all characters and Roger barely get his name mentioned in the manga unlike the strawhat crew, Rand is equal to Luffy as their both main characters and he knows Luffy's name and not calling him the "next pirate king"
@@cyruskaiserschatz1208 I didn't mentioned the name of the characters but the appellatives, dragon reborn and pirate king are on the same level as they are both probably mentioned once every 3 pages in both stories. So yes, saying "pirate lord" instead sounds hilarious from every point of view, not making a big deal out of it, just pointing it out and laughing it up. The guy even starred the fricking comment come on.
"That Louis guy in rand's head"
@@alansteelful To be fair, he says the correct title "Pirate King" at 15:23. I guess he just didn't realise that Roger is the one who originally held that title and thought that he was just some other "Pirate Lord".
Whitebeard is truly deserving of a "World's #1 Dad" coffee mug.
Gotta be a pretty big mug. And welldeservedly so
You mean Sake Mug?
@@freddymartinez2674 Good point.
Yes, untill wano anyway
@@freddymartinez2674 had same in mind. But he can’t drink now tho.
I’m surprised you weren’t more amazed with Shanks ending the war, it was such a demonstration of power, there were thousands of troops and some of the strongest powerhouses in the series. And Shanks just shows up with just his crew and intimidates them all into stopping the war.
Also he got there late because he was having a fight with another Emperor of the Sea to keep them from getting involved in Marineford and making things worse.
All in all Shanks is a BADASS
I can't believe someone told Dan that Marineford is the Infinity War of One Piece. Lmao. That's so wrong in so many different levels
Indeed it is, but I'm thankfully for that fan as due to them we were able to get an awesome rant with Daniel holding a pointy thing. Which I'm a big fan of.
lol first time seeing this take too. I was surprised
Gross. More like infinity war and endgame are both the marineford of the mcu
Garps character arc in marineford I feel was masterfully done. Cemented him as one of my fav characters in the series
Duuudddee, when he went home to Foosha village broke me for the nth time while watching this arc 😭😭😭
The one who hurts the most, is luffy!😢
Garp is my favorite too, I don't how anyone can hate me.
Same this arc made Garp my favourite non strawhat
Garp is one of the best parents in anime
I think Doflamingo's speech summarizes the moral ambiguity of this war. Great review.
the moral ambiguity of many real wars throughout history as well. you can't tell your side of the story if you are dead, or alive yet stripped of any kind of military power or political power.
I like how Oda doesn't use that one trope where the MC unleashes some hidden power and goes berserk after Ace died. Instead, Luffy goes catatonic and falls unconscious from all the adrenaline injection. For an anime with an artstyle as goofy as one piece, that's pretty frickin realistic.
Seeing Whitebeard having his last battle made me finally understand why he is or was the strongest man in the world because what he pulled of at Marineford is what he was capable of in old age and wrecked by a disease. Just imagining him in his prime fully motivated to kick someone's ass is terrifying yet awesome!
Edit: Daniel shure is bold to call Whitebeard by his first name.
On the contrary, Edward is his surname. Newgate is his first name.
note, Edward Newgate, Edward Weevil, Monkey D. Luffy, Monkey D. Garp, Roronoa Zoro. It is the Japanese way of writing a name. Surname first, then given name.
Newgate isn’t the stibgest
@@misterbk1791 Edward Newgate was known as the "strongest man in the world" until his death. Have you been reading the wrong manga or watching the wrong show?

Make him read Berserk next!
@Sympho he said he already started Berserk and didn't like it, but delayed putting up the review because of the recent passing of the author.
In any case, he also mentioned he's sick of people pressuring him, and that he addressed these a few times.
@@omriorgad7771 i mean wasn't He also pressured to read one piece that's why he read it? Maybe that would happen in berserk too lol

Vindication!!!! that knife hitting Ace has hurt me since the day he posted that video
"I don't care about ace... what I care about is luffys care for him"
Why would you say something so brave yet provocative
Nobody cares about my boy 😢
I'm SO glad Daniel said how I have felt for years.
I love Ace but he's speaking facts! When Ace died I didn't cry that he died I cried FOR Luffy
My favourite moment of this arc is a quickshot but is so so good. When they reveal Whitebeard's back and there isn't a single scar on it at all, the implications of this and what it showed about his character just gave me goosebumps. I just sat and stared at the panel for so long thinking "this is the most epic detail I have seen in manga, and one of the most epic details I have read in storytelling period" and such an incredible punctuation to put at the end of the Whitebeard's sentence.
i still remember you calling whitebeard, edward. chungus i'll let slide 😂
Nailed it Re: Pirates. The story makes a point of demonstrating that to be a Pirate (in this world) is to define your own scruples and moral limits for good or ill. It's a matter of self-determination that ties directly to the series love of freedom and adventure embodied in Luffy and da Crew.
Dis arc. It's a good one.
+
Well said
It really is a good point to nail on. Pirates aren't necessarily good guys, but they have the freedom to choose. There are even pirates who fall closer to what the marines do, like Arlong's crew governing (aka holding hostage) Nami's village, but you still have plenty of pirates who can and do choose to not go that way. Additionally, due to their nature of not being a single organization like the Marines, these pirates don't get caught and tangled in the battle of morals and ideals like the occasional good Marine who has to confront the fact that they work with the same people who allow slavery and genocides when it suits them.
That said, those marines like Koby finding themselves at those crossroads where they have to either compromise on who they are or choose to hold on to their values is also an interesting plot point. I like to think that Koby's intervention at the end of the war was equal parts of him helping Luffy and him trying to prevent the remaining marines from tarnishing his ideal of them any further by leaving their injured comrades to die. I think Koby will ultimately be a force within the Marines that will hold onto his ideals and will instead rebel against the "Absolute Justice" faction and to push the Marines to become something that matches his own sense of justice.
In french, like in Japanese, there are two different words for two different streaks of Pirates: les pirates et les corsaires.
I think Oda wrote a story bearing that distinction previous to One Piece.
There most definitely are good and bad pirates in the world, with very different values and objectives (adventures/freedom for the good ones, gold and fame for the bad/ Luffy doesn't want fame: he wants freedom)
@@ChristmasLore That actual distinction was in the 2 beta one shots of One Piece
About the pace, you have to remember Daniel that this manga is published one chapter per week. So while the pace is super rush for you, you are essentially bingereading the thing, whereas the original readers had an opportunity to take a breather for a week between chapters.
And yes, Blackbeard stole Whitebeard's power and has two Devil Fruits now. But don't worry, we are just as confused about that as you are at the moment :D
For me WB's death scene is the greatest scene I've seen in media... The amount of emotions I felt during that is something I've never felt. I can't even express in words
"And Withebeard passed away"
Even though he's dead his body never surrender, even after losing half of his face he continued mowing down his enemies, that man was a monster.
In this battle he was slashed and stabbed 256 times, the gun wounds were indeed 152 and he was shot by a cannon 46 times!
On top of that on his back tattoo...or in his whole life as a pirate, there wasnt a single scar from running away"
P
I was pretty hurt by Ace's death, as he's such a cool character and he means so much to Luffy, our beloved main character, but when Whitebeard died, I was so incredibly moved by this character I'd just barely met, that I couldn't hold back my tears. Even while typing this my eyes well up a bit.
Hey everyone, the explanation of whitebeards name has already been posted. But don't let that stop you from posting another.
Did you know that Japanese doesn't have a separate word for beard and moustache which is why in english white beard is called such despite not possessing a beard. But we funny goofballs in the one piece community have a humorous little meme where we say that none mentions the discrepancy in his name due to his colossal strength.
@@nonyabusiness9682 LMAO you nailed it

@@nuredingeziqi679 lol...do you remember what vid he mentioned it? I wanna check it out
Yo daniel with regards to why whitebeard is called whitebeard despite having a stache. The japanese language actually only has 1 word for facial hair(hige), whether it be a stache or a beard. Shirohige=whitebeard
@Jordan Mills more like. White facial hair
actually in german its the same as in japanese.. we call it "Bart".. you can call a mustache in german also schnauzbart but its still a "bart"(which comes from the word schnauze(english snout).. so its basically a snoutbeard).
So its kinda funny to me how english speakers have such an issue with that XD
We dont really differ if the beard its above the lips or below.. its all the same area and a beard XD
@@MikedieONE snoutbeard sounds lit as fuck, what the hell xD
@@zSwift42 These is an even funnier nickname for it. "Rotzbremse" wich means "snot-stopper" XD
@@MikedieONE im german myself, I just thought snoutbeard would be a good anime villan name xD
Honestly what breaks my heart the most is when Luffy says "You promised. You said you'd never die."
specially on re-read
luffy says that knowing he caused it so he made him break it
its cool how that shows luffy being naive which he is at heart but also proves to him the way of the world that no matter how strong someone seems they can die so he has to be extra careful and protective of his friends...it gives him more motivation to get stronger for their sakes even if it may lead to an early grave..he would risk it for their safety...its about their dreams too..not just his own....
When he said to Ivan-san to help him just makes me pieces
When this arc was released, there was a big earthquake in java. And all of my social media feed just said “come on whitebeard!! Beat them! "
Ace's actual final words of Thank you for loving a fool like me, is actual torture everytime i read them
as brutal as that death is for luffy fans i gotta say it makes akainu a scary character on screen....i legit have no idea who is safe or not when hes around in combat so oda accomplished that with him for sure...he is a legit villain we should fear...he will kill anyone if he can
@@razkable Akainu is a definetly a great villian, he wasn't killing Ace for being a pirate nor trying to kill Luffy for that too but because they were blood related to other criminals, you can clearly see how he never calls them by their names but as "Roger's son" or "Dragon's son".
Whitebeard is such a chad that he called himself a "whitebeard" and noone corrected him
(Actually facial hair in japanise doesn't have different name on mouth or under nose)
I think there's a great parallel between Garp and Whitebeard, both taking their rival's son and treating as their own child. But while Garp was bound to his position in the Navy and barely could choose a side, Whitebeard stood firmly at Ace's side, willing to die for his son. Also, one raised Ace to be a marine like him, while the other only wished for Ace to be free.
I just think its amazing how since Luffy left Thriller Bark, he is just taking L after L. Sabaody? Lost the crew. Impel Down? Almost die to poison. Marineford? Lost Ace. The last arcs just hammer home the ideia, the fact that Luffy isnt ready for the New World. Just like Moria said he wasnt.
Also, “Thank you for loving me” still hits me way to hard even to this day.
Dude with that Moria line you just redeemed Thriller bark for me. Thank you for that
Got the biggest smile on my face when I saw this videos notification
I’ve been waiting for this since I saw you stab the funko 😆
A low key thing I love about this arc is that Luffy does NOT have some emotional limit break where he goes nuts and powers up to start destroying everyone in sight. He just breaks and shuts down, and it makes it so much more impactful.
Regarding the "powerlevels", Whitebeard was deadly sick at the time of the war, with several situations hinting at him not being the man he once was
He is so strong that when he grew a black moustache and called it a white beard, no one could talk shit back at him.
he was blonde tho
Man, even seeing the panel of Ace saying, “thank you for loving me!” has me tearing up in my car on my lunch break.
Lol the note on whiteboard being the most powerful. What's scary is we are seeing him when hes a shadow of his former self, one foot in the grave before he even stepped off his boat, dying of disease and old age. And it still took literally everything the marines and blackbeard's crew had to put him down down they barely managed it.
Man is a legend
Daniel in February: This is fun, I can see this series getting a little nuance later on.....
Daniel in August:.......
Daniel finally knows what real suffering is
"That's worse than what abercrombie puts most of his characters through". That next book is coming out next month!! He might top this
So I've been curious about this, but I don't trust google to accurately tell me: what sub-genre of fantasy does Abercrombie write in?
@@leakypeach6250 I think it just broadly fits in the grimmdark category. Going further, each standalone book between the two trilogies have another subgenre. Best served cold is a gangster revenge, the heroes is like a commentary on a conflict, and red country is like a frontier western type with a dash of steam. This goes for his books set in the first law universe. I haven't read his other series
@@eaptan Ah ok. Idk why I thought it was a fantasy apocalypse. Sounds interesting though.
Thanks for responding!
@@leakypeach6250 not apocalyptic at all! There is a contrast between the glorious past of magic and its current low state, but at the same time, civilization is on the rise. I highly recommend the series if you haven't read it. It's brutal and hilarious!
They really thought that they were home free, but Akainu had an ace up his sleeve.
I’ll see myself out now :(
That was brutal, but well played
Damn i hope your pillow is cold on both sides when you're going to aleep
I'm glad that you addressed Garp's reaction to Akainu killing Ace. It's such a great reaction and you KNOW that Garp didn't want this.
22:17 yeah normally only one fruit power for one person. But Blackbeard is the exception with reasons unknown. Marco (the phoenix guy a.k.a. pineapple head guy) speculated that it has something to do with Blackbeard's weird body structure
There's a lot of speculation about Blackbeard still. A big hint is his flag that has three skulls on it....we think. We'll get confirmed one day. Probably.
Also for completion's sake; in Jaya, when Luffy and Zoro meet BB for the first time, they sense something is off with him and call him 'those guys'.
funny thing is even after 500 more chapters he still won't know exactly how Blackbeard did that
In my personal opinion, the reason Blackbeard was able to get two fruit powers has to be his original Dark-Dark power. It's completely unlike other logia-types and Blackbeard obviously knew it was a special type of fruit, which is why he was willing to break the Pirates code and kill his crewmate for it. My money's on he read about it somewhere and knew that its unique power would let him steal a secondary fruit power, and it was his plan to steal Whitebeard's power from the very beginning.
@@williamroberts2878 except that BB read about the dark dark power in the devil fruit guidebook, and no-one's ever heard of anyone using more than one df power. It's possible, but it seems more likely it's just about him.
Whitebeard`s memory about wanting a family and no treasure always brings a tear to my eye.
Y'know Whitebeard really values his crew/family when he refused to get the One Piece even though he COULD.
He didn't even care less when Roger ask him if he wants to know what is it.
Hell, he knows where is it yet he didn't went to take it.
Fun fact, if you check back at chapter 552 the old crew of ace before joining whitebeard was revealed to be called the spade pirates. If you search up what Ace of spades symbolizes, it actually symbolizes bad luck or death. It was a great foreshadowing that ace was gonna die without us knowing.
Random One Piece Trivia:
Whitebeard was based off an actual Bar owner Oda knew.
He also was shot by cannons 54 times?
@@iamdivan7368 That guy must've been badass, so it's not outside realm of possibility.
"Why did you open a bar if you don't care about money?"
"I just want a family" :)
@@haingis 😭😂
One of the first lines of whitebeard. Something like: „I am not getting lectured by green eared brat“ he said and that is a direct quote from the bar owner oda personally knew.
Something to help you with all the admiral names: they have two, their real name and their government code name. The code names are always color-animal.
The man who killed ace is Sakazuki, his code name is AkaInu (aka = red inu = dog).
The blue ice power man is Kuzan, his code name is Aokiji (ao = blue kiji = pheasant.)
Lazy light power man is Borsalino, his codename is Kizaru (ki = yellow, zaru = monkey)
That can help you remember their names!
EDIT: Included the real names of the other admirals and fixed the translation for Kizaru.
for kizaru its
Ki = yellow zaru (saru) = monkey
@@sevan2234 Thanks for the corrections, y'all. Ima fix it real quick.
Also these names are making a reference to the story of momotaro so if you've ever read it or seen in the dozens of anime that have covered it then it makes it easier to remember their names and their meanings
This actually helps SO MUCH!
Could you please do the same for the 7 Warlords? The 4 Emperors? Or CS9? And crocodile crew? (That's quite a lot, but I feel I'm missing a bit much as I didn't research the Japanese meanings, and correlated "jokes")🍃
Shanks coming in and ending it is some amazing character work for him. It just shows how powerful he truely is, how much of a powerhouse in the world he is to the point that both sides respectfully back down because of him.
The words ace said that hurt me the most was “ sorry I couldn’t see your dream till the end” that hits different even on the 6th time through
As far as anyone in that world knew, until that moment everyone thought having two devil fruits was impossible
I'm pretty sure the Japanese word for a beard and a mustache is the same, which is why the name makes sense in the original language
i think hige is the general term of facial hair instead of english's specific terms like whisker and beeard
still doesnt explain why his name was translated to whitebeard
@@Jubanen12 because how would you translate it?
White facial hair?
White mustache?
Whitebeard just sounded the best
@@Jubanen12 Think its because they wanted to draw a parrallel to Blackbeard.
@@timjonsson2602 ...who deserves his name even less, he doesn't even HAVE a beard (at this point, anyway) xD
Favorite part of the whole arc has to be Coby’s speech while facing down Akainu, honestly makes me tear up every time. The anime has a really good depiction of it too. I agree with you that his speech is an encapsulation of ideals
Since you've started One Piece reviews and knowing this is coming I've patiently waited for your reaction and review. It didn't disappoint and part of me just wants to give you a hug.
Buggy was the high point for me in this arc, especially his conversation with whitebeard, I just love the guy😅
Same. It helped to have the humour. Him just namedropping all the big names and forgetting himself and start yelling at Whitebeard.
And Whitebeard sees trough the whole thing :)
The way he yells at Shanks to seem impressive then whispering, "seriously though, it is good to see you again"
The Whitebeard thing is actually pretty interesting because in Japanese his name is "Shirohige".
"Hige" basically translates to facial hair(and Shiro to white) meaning it would technically be Whitefacialhair.
But it doesn't really sound as badass as Whitebeard so the translators went with Whitebeard.
Also I don’t know if you noticed how Luffy just attacked the marines with normal punches and kicks, but gave Koby a Gum-Gum pistol. Showed how much Luffy respected Koby at the end of the day
I've yet to say this, but I do love when Future Dan drops in to provide additional context. In all your videos not just the one piece ones. There are those who would do edits to try and make it seem like they had just said the extra bits in the initial recordings, and then there's you. Hard cut to walking around the house/studio. Love it
When you stabbed Ace I had typed in "Oh my God you killed Ace!" Then deleted it because I didn't spoilers. You're welcome Daniel.
I still can't believe you called Whitebeard "Edward" when you were first introduced to him. You put some respek on his name!
"So Steven"- same energy, bruh
He alsocalled him a Chungus. lol
So glad you're loving One Piece Daniel. You may know this already, but there is a reason why Marineford is considered one of if not the best arc in One Piece. So many grand moments, action set pieces, and tons of underated scenes glossed over due to fantastic worldbuilding moments. In my eye Alabasta is my favorite arc, but I consider Marineford too damn good
The Coby moment gives me chills every time I watch it, top 5 moment in OP with the subsequent shanks appearance tied to it
Just FYI on Whitebeard's name, in Japanese, his name is Shirohige. Shiro meaning "white", and hige which just means facial hair. So it didn't have a direct translation that sounded cool, so they just translated it to Whitebeard. But personally, I think White-Facial Hair sounds badass.
Na mate. White Beard so epic that nobody in the world bothered to question him about his name choice.
Anything called White facial sounds kinky if you ask me
being one of the two characters based on OG Blackbeard, I also don't think shiro-kuchi-hige or white-mustache have the same weight to it as well.
There are several characters named after famous pirates or naval officers of the pirate era. Several of them had the nickname 'Color'Beard.
also in a lot of languages a mustage is a just a kind of beard
You gave me goosebumps. this review was amazing. You gave me emotional flashbacks to certain scenes that hit like I'd read them yesterday. Very much appreciate how evocative and vulnerable you're able to be on screen. Kudos
By next week when Daniel completes the next arc, him and Merphy will be both on the same arc, I can wait for a collab :D
the buggy broadcast was important because the marines wanted to cut the entire broadcast and stop the world from knowing what happens. but since buggy was still recording it ruined that plan
Crocodile was the low-key MVP of this arc, love that man
Love your description of Blackbeard as a trickster. Many people on their first watch/read through can overlook that pretty much every bit of power he has gained over the story thus far has been by out maneuvering his allies and enemies, with little to no moral regard. Only having to win one big fight with Ace, and getting incredibly lucky at impel down are the exceptions I can think of.
Garp is not Luffy's father. Dragon is. He's the grandfather. As it was revealed in Enies Lobby. But GLORIOUS review Daniel!
dan: * stabs ace funko *
some of his fans: * raises mace with righteous anger *
the rest of his fans: "not yet, ferb"
Hey, just checked your channel today watching a clip of you saying you will never read One Piece. Then after a minute, I saw your volume 1-3 review. I enjoy your reviews, and my favorite part is the "I'm sorry Ussop" line. Just enjoyed watching your content, bringing me back a decade ago when I started reading One Piece. Kudos!
Whitebeard is just that big of a chad that he doesn't need a beard
When you're chad enough you make the rules
Chadbeard
I always thought Whitebeard would forever be the Chaddest Chad that ever Chadded in One Piece...... then we met Oden. I have no idea how the Moby Dick stayed afloat when those two were sailing together.
@@KS-xk2so chad bros
Random side note: Names in One Piece are all in the Japanese order, of family name - given name. That means that for Whitebeard's name, Edward is the family name, and Newgate is his given name.
Good on you for giving the man the respect he deserves, using his surname instead of first name :p
I am so glad he got to this point!!! And I love his reaction!! This was one of the most emotional I've felt in one piece!!! Loved your review!!!
"Thank you for loving me." Gets me EVERY TIME i read it.
I binged all of your One Piece vids just now, so I‘m gonna leave my comment about Usopp here:
Usopp is the „normal“ guy of the crew, so he has massive feelings of inadequacy throughout the story, which can be seen with the multiple times he struggles to take action against adversities and his general insecuritys.
When Luffy wants to „discard“ the Flying Lamb, Usopps insecurity about himself as a part of the crew kicks in and he tries everything he can to keep her. But really he wants to save himself from getting discarded by Luffy, as he projects himself onto the ship. Also the Lamb having its origins in Sirup Village underlines this :)
I‘m really looking forward to your reactions and reviews of the following arcs and you most definitely deserve all the subs!
"thank you for loving me..." breaks me every single time. From the manga, the anime, video reviews, or just trying to speak about the moment. Oda is an absolute master
Why did i start crying out of nowhere while listening to this??
Love ur vids Daniel
Garp is such an amazing character! Him having Dragon the most wanted man as a child the person (The Revolutionary). Him saving his son's enemy (Pirate King )and raising as his grandchild. Him not taking action to save Ace because of him being the hero of the Marines and a person who they looked up to and the only action he did was letting luffy to punch him so he can go and save ace! Feeling guilty of him not saving ace!
And his hart breaking line when he said to ace " I have no sympathy for criminals but for my family I do" Why didn't couldn't you live as I told you? While crying
Please look this scene at the anime!
You can find it on UA-cam it is 2 min long!
I started to catch up with the one piece manga again because I want to follow your review series. I love it.
How far are u into the manga? Cause there’s so much lore that’s been revealed.
@@Spliffkage I stopped mid dress Rosa and now I'm currently at the flashback of Mingo and law so I did not get spoiled ;)
@@BlindGardener That backstory is sooo good
Even the funko pop has observation haki: 0:20
Awesome review as always, hope you feel better soon.
We go 500 chapters thinking that Luffy is a big shot on the sea. Larger players are encountered every now and then, but they move out of the story fast enough that it does not overshadow him. That is why Sabady to Marineford feels like such a shock.
I have watched multiple animes and for me, Marineford is best arc in any shonen anime. It’s more than the battle itself that made me love it.
And Daniel, I think you should at least try to watch Luffy’s Conqueror’s Haki during the battle. I literally had goosebumps.
Chefs kiss, loved this ark and I loved your perspective on it help me see things I didn't catch while I read it
Hey Daniel, these are not spoilers. I just want to draw your attention to the three admirals and what they represent.
Akainu :- Cold Hearted but has Hot(warm) power. He represents Absolute Justice.
Aokiji :- Warm Hearted but has cold power. He represents Lazy Justice.
Kizaru :- Talks and acts slow but has power of Light(fastest). He represents Unclear Justice.
Another "irony" is the guy with the power of light being the one associated with *unclear* justice
Oh wow all there powers are the opposites of there personalities that's a really cool observation!
