When Kureha wears a shirt that says “bounty $100” it took me a second. That woman made a shirt to show off how proud she is of her little man who made a name for himself

Important thing to note about Chopper's devil fruit. He hadn't really realised he was being excluded from the herd before the devil fruit, because he had the intelligence of a reindeer. But after he ate the fruit he realised just how much he was being excluded from the beginning. Which just makes it even more sad.

Sanji saying "It's a monster" is such an underrated line imo. Peak Sanji in such an understated way. Up there with "Our sniper sure is amazing, huh?". He's such a sweet guy sometimes.

Everytime someone says they’re annoyed at how baby he is I’m like dude he was literally treated like a monster and isolated from people what the fuck?? Let him live a happy life

A huge moment for Chopper that I loved was this line in Thriller Bark. "Our captain doesn't care if you're a monster, a cyborg, a pervert, a long-nose, or a moss head." He's no longer only calling himself a monster.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion but I love chopper's dynamic with Zoro. Zoro is like the proud dad who looks after chopper and teaches chopper. I don't know but everytime Zoro is proud of chopper and smiles at him I feel warm inside lol

13:32 Thank you, I have been saying this Hiluluk is a psychiatrist who has to become a medical doctor because his country capitalizes on healthcare ( too real). I really like what Kureha says to Chopper, "You can't save anyone by just being kind without medical knowledge", she always criticizes Hiluluk, she has medical knowledge but never does anything for the people unlike Hiluluk who is full of kindness. her character is so good, also she learns to be kind from Chopper and after Hiluluk's death which is really a so subtle character development for a minor side character.

18:26 This This shit GOT ME. While I had always been sad during choppers backstory,this video helped me realize how fucking PAINFUL that gunshot was. My heart is cold and I am shook

Chopper's backstory is one of those that hurt me the most. Imagine loving someone so much that you would die for them in a heartbeat, but you are the one who ends up poisoning them

I love how Oda went "Nah the anime voice too damn cute, needs to be a mascot" Chopper really got his chance during Wano too

I still love how chopper Started as a child looking up at the rest of the crew as the "grown-ups", relying on them and feeling like he should prove himself for them (because of his past like you described); and then turned to an "equal" to them post time Skip and even more with carrot, being now a big brother figure to the bunny mink just like the straw hats were for him

The amount of times I cried at Choppers story, the beautiful scene with the gorgeous pink tree, Doctor sacrificing himself, how can Oda make me cry 20 times in one arc I have no idea

Even though it was played off as a joke, the moment in the Return to Saobody Arc in which Chopper gets fooled into thinking the Strawhats abandoned Robin is genuinely heartbreaking. You can see the pure shock and disbelief in Chopper's eyes, and the utter disappointment that staying completely isolated from his only friends for two years to gain the strength to protect them was pointless because those friends had changed. It seems very intentional that Chopper didn't break down until it was fake Luffy that told him to give up on Robin. It also shows how despite having grown and healed a lot since his beginnings, Chopper is still very much vulnerable when it comes to personal relationships and trust. As the one with the kindest and most open heart, he is also the most easily hurt and betrayed. I doubt any of the other Strawhats would have believed even for a second that Luffy would betray them, even if the fake Luffy looked exactly the same as the real one. Chopper, however, still has cracks in his heart and is able to believe that his crew would turn their backs on him. Thankfully, the situation got resolved near immediately and we didn't have to watch Chopper spiral through his past trauma, but it was a pretty haunting scene nevertheless. Absolutely sublime video as always! I guess we have Brook, Nami, Jinbe, and Luffy left. Those are some of my favorite Strawhats (I do love all of them), so I can't wait! Also I might have missed it but congratulations on making a Chopper video with memes while somehow avoiding THAT meme. I'm impressed.

I think another thing that has healed Chopper even more is meeting the Minks. These are a people who not only would take him in in a heartbeat, but who LOOK LIKE HIM. Down to even meeting a cute reindeer girl with Milky. Yes, he's still not quite the same, but they have so much in common already, and again when you compare his more monstrous forms to Sulong. Chopper has basically been cherished by the minks as an honorary member of their family after just meeting him and then he has a turn to be the leader and teacher to some of them, loved for what he is in addition to who he is. And that makes my heart swell for him.

one thing about choppers writing that i think is so incredible is how although he's a cute character he's never patronized by the characters around him. while the crew often does treat him as a little brother, he's their youngest member after all, they never regard him as anything less than their very valuable doctor. is awesome, even when he displays his most childlike characteristics for a gag.

CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER

i once saw a fanart of chopper right after his birth and as weird as it was it made me quite emotional to see a newborn reindeer without any knowledge of the life ahead of him honestly one of the pieces of art of all time

No series has made me cry as much as One Piece. The characters are so complex, and the story can be so deep, but it can still be enjoyed as just a fun story. Seeing videos like this continue to remind me how much this series mean to me ❤️

“One represents kindness and the other represents care” Ohh yess the emergency food and the cook making the perfect duo💀

Something I love about chopper is thar he isn't stupid. He's innocent. When initially believed that the fake strawhats were his real friends it wasn't because he's to stupid to notice it's not them, it's because he's so pure and innocent that he can't fathom the idea of people impersonating them.

When I watched the anime and saw Choppers backstory, it was the only moment so far to break me, especially when Hiruluk gave his speech on when a man truly dies. Aside from Robin and Sanji, Chopper has the saddest backstory

Ugh “shut up, let’s gooooooo! Gets me tearing up EVERY SINGLE TIME!

While far from my most enjoyed character, his introduction and progression into the pirate he is today is still extremely solid. Needless to say, Chopper will go down as one of the greatest reindeers of all time Can't wait for your eventual Brook analysis. LOADS of trauma to unpack there

Chopper’s backstory hits every single note of being an incredible and sad story, I can’t watch it without bawling.

I love how you give attention to things generally ignored by others. Franky, Usopp, Chopper, etc are never even mentioned by other analyst

Another thing is: monster point is the same As luffy's gear three. Both get giant, and then both get smol.

Can I just say I fucking love these types of videos please make more, I show my friends these to convince them to watch one piece and I’ve got one so far

Holy shit I just realized that the metal ring on choppers antler is holding his broken antler in place. I thought it was just apart of his design 💀💀

Oda is the best at making characters. They are simple enough to be clear and read easily, but have a depth and nuance that enhances all of their actions and interactions. Great video!

5:40 Someone willing to let others in but they've been so scarred they're afraid to let anyone in Didn't know i needed to realize i relate to Chopper in these very words Thanks a lot

Just gotta say, your videos are top notch. Thanks to them I found more appreciation towards One Piece. I never knew how deep these characters are so I thank you for making me love One Piece even more.

Chopper’s character story beats legit just need to be mentioned to send me right back to the brink of floods of tears. His story just hits so hard and was voice acted so brilliantly in those key moments

Emergency Food. I really really really love those small interactions between chopper and sanji. ' Ayee she is still alive ' and 'Emergency Food' are just small examples 😂😂

Fun fact! It's theorized 4kids skipped so many episodes to try to get to chopper faster, seeing him potentially being suuuuper marketable.

Gods bless Melontree for her character pieces. Genuinely a great day when I see an upload

This adorable little beloved silly has been through so much hurt. Another reason to appreciate this long series is that you see Chopper changing and maturing. I just know he’s going to be the doctor he promised he would be. Stay strong, baby choppy. 💕

How can people not love chopper? He's literally a floof ball🥰

I´m currently going through your catalog of OP videos and I thought "Surely, *this one* won´t make me cry" like an absolute fool. You have a talent in pinpointing connections that I couldn´t see, and it´s making me enjoy Oda´s beautiful writing even more

Chopper got his own plush line for Jump's 40th anniversary. They had Chopper dresssed as all kinds of Dragon Ball characters, Goku, Vegeta, Buu, Gohan, hell even Chaotzu

Chopper is still my favorite next to Brooke. He still has that cute factor after all this time and doesn’t need much more development other than helping his friends. Glad to see a video made on the most adorable anime character of all time

I like Chopper 😂. There’s nothing wrong with being a mascot character. He’s had a great backstory, he has a respectable profession and dream, and he’s funny. What else could I ask for.

This sh1t made me cry just like 8 years ago when first watched Choppers arc.

I trust chopper with my life.

This video helped me realise why Chopper has that metal brace around his right antler. It broke off when he was trying to find the mushroom that would "heal" Hiriluk. Jesus man

I first discovered this show watching adult swim one night and honestly the cuteness of Chopper hooked me😭. I hate that people call his pre-time skip design ugly because it’s what literally started my journey to this show. 🥰

I didn't ask for 35 mins of crying.. but it has certainly been 35 long minutes of me trying not to tear up and rumble into a waterfall of tears.. These videos really help to look back at the story told so far and give it so much perspective.. Thanks a lot for your work!

I literally cried watching this video. Chopper's backstory gets me everytime. Great video btw.

BOKU WA DOCTAA 😭

"You're trauma does not shape you into something unloveable." That is a beautiful line. I do adore Chopper & wish he could get more screen time. The fact that he & Law are both doctors is completely priceless.

Chopper's song (Dr. Tony Tony Chopper) is actually what got me into One Piece, and I ended up relating to him most for quite a long time. Fantastic video, my guess for the next strawhat is Brook:)

Yes, the cook and the doctor are the most caring and loving people on the crew. There no reason this should've made this much sense xD

Peeps trying to reduce Chopper to 'merch cute critter' annoy the heck out of me, they forget his importance as like, let's take only Zou arc for example, he was the one that organized and treated the mink tribe injuries and poisoning after Jack's raid, and did the very same for Zunisha after Jack's second attack, that's right, Chopper was the MVP of Zou, so give more respect to his name.

I love the way you approach each character, I feel like everyone always talks about how badass the crew is, but in reality they all have some heavy trauma that is made lighter just by being around each other, even when they are mad at each other, it’s still better than the worst they have been through. I appreciate you

I'm not crying, there's just a pink snowflake in my eye 😭😭😭

I think people tends to forget is taht sanji also has High EQ not as high as luffy but still high enough that he knows what word to use to help others

When you brought up the parallels between sanji and chopper it reminded me of the funny coincidence that chopper's VA voiced kid sanji in whole cake island

I always wonder what Odas Plans for Chopper are in the end. Will he create the medicine that heals all illnesses? Will his devil fruit reveal itself, to be a special human human fruit? Or will he become a devil fruit doctor/master? Maybe he will find the tree where the DF grow and will understand the science behind that? Create new ones? I'm exited to see what Oda has in store for chopper. ❤

One interaction I enjoyed between chopper and hiruluk is when chopper first revealed he can speak and hiruluk just casually says "So what. I can speak alot better than you". After chopper explained why he didn't speak before. Hiruluk didn't care about what he looked like. It showed what kinda of person hiruluk was.

Your analysis videos of One Piece's characters and themes are some of my favourite things to watch. Love the perspectives you bring and the way you present them. Looking forward to seeing more!

Yaaaay, we finally got our Chopper analysis. Nice video 👍

I think you should have also mention Choppers monster point transformation during Sabaody, when they all fought Kuma and he didnt hesitate chugging 3 rumble balls at once. I think that scene also solidified his mindset after the time skip of becoming a monster thats usefull to Luffy

Leave it to Melonteee to always find a way to include Long Ring Long Land in a video

Everytime I need a good cry, I'll watch Kureha slapping Chopper and the rest of his flashback

Always a delight to see another character dissection video! Also, much love for Dr. Chopper!

One of the most emotional character backstories. Love him so much! BTW didn't know this until recently, but Chopper didn't swap out his pink hat for a new one, he just put this helmet cover over it with the cross and rim part still showing! XD awww

I'm absolutely speechless. Hearing you break down Chopper's relationships to Hiruluk and Kureha and how they tried to protect his heart and prepare him for when he needs to meet other humans was so gutwrenching. Hearing how he felt he needed to either be hurt to be cared for or to be of use to be worthy of Hiruluk's love broke my heart. The little guy didn't deserve any of what he got.

I think Zoro's advice on long ring long land island stand from the fact that Chopper should have believed they would save him no matter what. He shouldn't cry because Straw Hats won't abandon him. Of course Chopper being as traumatized as he is he probably really thought that. Zoro, whenever he realised Choppers feeling or not, isn't the best at expressing emotions so...

chopper is still my favorite of the straw hats (said by someone who has used a pokemon-based user name for over 20 years now)

Choppers story hit me more then anything else in the series back in 2020. Now watching this video and reminding myself of all of thoes moments I almost cried. I love chopper so much 😭😭😭

I cried so many times during the drum island arc. Your analysis has done this story so much more justice than many people could do. 15/10 video thank you for helping me cry again this morning

Man waking up at 3 am and watching a one piece video about chopper is an experience. Started tearing up when I was reminded of how emotional his backstory really was. I love one piece so damn much. Awesome video.

I have no heart to endure Chopper's story, it is such a gut-wrenching one that I can't help myself but cry over it like a baby even today. Oda is a genious.

I'm in Wano in the anime currently, but Chopper and Dr. Hiliuck's story has always been my most tear jerking scene.

It's been 10 years since I first saw Chopper's backstory, in this time I must have read Drum kingdom's arc at least 4 times, and every time I cry like a baby when I see his backstory, and now even as I watch this video I can't stop crying. Him eating the bread and holding the mushroom are 2 of the most heartbreaking panels I've ever read, and I've read One Piece.

Hey, this video made me cry like a baby. The writing is wonderful and you covered choppers character really well, and the rest of your content is also beautifully made. Thank you for the good cry and please keep up the great content!

Fun fact, Chopper has that metal band on his Antler that looks kind of like a pirate earing, but it's probably the main thing holding his antler on, because that's the exact place his antler was broken when he came back with Hiriluk's mushroom.

just finish watching his arc last night and waking up with swollen eyes for how much I cried 😂 man I love this cute reindeers so much, hope netflix would do him justice in season 2 ❤

I love every character dive you make. I rarely learn anything new, as I’ve been traveling with the crew for over half my life now. I just love hearing someone else who much more recently fell in love with OP tell in much finer words than I just how wonderful the world of OP is.

God damnit, I've had emotional moments in all these videos but I feel like I spent half this video crying. How Oda manages to actually land the ending with Luffy just screaming and that feeling so in character for him and as you said "Just what Chopper needed". God I love One Piece so much.

There are a endless amount of scenes or lines on One Piece that bake lake me say that it is a work of pure art but the scene where Chopper sees the mountains of the Drum kingdom bloom like a Sakura Tree will always be my favorite as it shows how great a storyteller and artist Oda truly is.

DAMMIT I WAS ABOUT TO GO TO BED

God I love that funny little reindeer. I hope he gets more moments to shine in the future

Yes!!! If Luffy chopper impression (with robins hands) isn’t in here, I may be slightly disappointed! 😝

I adore your one piece character analysis and so it’s fascinating! Please keep it up! I’m so excited for more 🤎🤎🤎

A beautiful well made video essay, thank you as ever. I honestly can't wait for the rest of the crew.

I love this. Chopper is my favorite character in OP, he’s just so wholesome. It kinda sucks he’s been sick in the same role really since thriller bark, but I’ll never forget how watching the pink snow fall and seeing the lil homie lose it. I’m not a crier, but I couldn’t hold them back at that scene. I love this lil guy man.

I'm still disappointed that we lost the old Human Point as it got turned into that huge form for the sake of strength, since in the end Oda just used Monster Point whenever Chopper needed to fight a strong opponent... And yet, that moment of him saying that he doesn't mind being a monster is a still a great moment for Chopper. Amazing video as always :)

Chopper's backstory always makes me cry

tiny thing but we see over and over that animals in one piece already have basically human level sentience, i think all chopper's power did was give him the ability to talk and transform, and probably the ambition to have a human job

I gladly forgot how sad this backstory was. Thanks for the reminder...

If you want to be entertained, look up Oda’s draft design for the crew before he started, featuring an extremely different Chopper.

Any mention of Luffy in these videos always make me wanna cry man. Nice to see a deeper understanding of Luffy’s character writing ❤

chopper's backstory is always one that makes me weep. every single time I watch it. the soundtrack to the drum island arc and everything just hits so hard

I love chopper he is one of my favourite straw hats and his backstory is one of the few that actual got me a tear. Can’t wait for the day you do a crocodile vid

I tend to rag on Chopper for being one of the more underutilized main characters, but I still love him, and this video proves that there's a lot of depth to even the most simple Straw Hat Pirates! I hope we get a video from you on all 10 some day!

Wow what an amazing video, so clever but it wouldn’t be complete without that amazing, spectacular, so well done Chopper as Rick and Morty fanart 00:01

Finally, you made a Chopper video, my boy deserved one.

This lil reindeer made me bawl my eyes out!!!

WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE YOU IN THE ONE PIECE FANDOM!!!!!
