No romance amongst the crew. That was the rule Oda had writing it. They are in love with adventure.

The actor that plays Sanji actually took several cooking classes in preparation for the show. So during the show and promos for the show he is actually cooking!

The flashback of Luffy and Garp is definetely after all about Shanks, you can tell bc Luffy already had his hat

Zoro, Nami and Usopp all had money. Zoro - bounty Hunter Nami - master thief(literally see her give money to get the table) Usopp- worked at the shipyard Only Luffy had no money, but he ordered 1 of everything on the menu.

0:05 Luffy whenever he meets someone he likes:

RIP Zoro, you were a good swordsman.

Mihawk is just on ANOTHER LEVEL 😎

To answer the question about restaurants being full, most high profile restaurants keep tables open. If a high profile person walks in and wants to eat at your restaurant. You don't want to turn away a Taylor Swift or a Jay z because you're full.

The live action captures the spirit of One Piece perfectly, this production has such a high respect for the creator Eiichiro Oda they won't put any scene in unless he approves of it. There are some changes so it's like a revamped retelling. The stuff they changed or left out from the anime are worth seeing, and doubly so the manga is definitively the creator's vision but he's been supporting both adaptations all the way through.

4:50 The cinematographer for the show Nicole Hirsch-Whitaker actually worked with a company called Hawk Vantage to develop one-of-a-kind lenses for this show--fittingly called HAWK MHX Hybrid Anamorphic Lenses--to be able to get the intense, fish-eye closeups and then seamlessly zoom out to a faraway continuous shot while still being able to pull focus.

LOL - I love your reaction!! I'm a hardcore Mihawk fan, and Sanji is a close second, so this episode was insane. Daddy Mihawk indeed.

This reaction was one of the best and funniest ive seen lmao EDIT: Also I think you overlooked the fact that Zoro challenged Mihawk to a "Duel to the Death" so when he lost the fight, he surrendered to let his enemy take his life on his honor as a true swordsman.

Excellent job on the Sanji-themed cosplay. And great reaction! Though I think you missed what Mihawk said to Zoro-- this isn't a spoiler as he said it in this episode: "It's too soon for you to die. Grow stronger and come find me." It's like with "The Princess Bride": guys like Inigo, Wesley and Mihawk always respect their true competition.

I love Sanji so much he is hands down my favorite

11:16 no you're not the only one haha a lot of ppl noticed the chemistry between live action zoro and nami. whether it was intentional or not, the actors had great on-screen chemistry. that drinking scene in specific was awesome and i personally like how the live action focused on their bond. the crew bonding moments in general are often my favorite moments.

Zoro saying wounds on the back are a swordsman's greatest shame means a real swordsman won't retreat in a fight even when they're losing. He says it a and let's Mihawk slash him because he knows he lost, so he chooses to lose on his terms

4:20 "The snugly duckling"... I friggin' love that!

You should absolutely watch the anime from start to finish. The live action adaptation is *significantly* different in many details and events, but captures the vital spirit of the characters and locations it depicts. It's a really remarkable adaptation in that way; even people like me who have read the manga start to finish multiple times cannot necessarily predict everything that happened in the live action version. If nothing else, the exercise in contrast is interesting.

The creator of the original series had to dictate that there will be NO romance between crew members: they're a family and nothing romantic will ever happen between them. Mackenyu and Emily Rudd DO have incredible chemistry, but no, they won't ever have any partners on the crew. There will be some more hints at potential 'after-the-adventure' pairings for various crew members as the series goes on with other side characters, but thus far there's pretty much 0 focus on romance in the series, even after 1000 chapters.

so the live action is similar to the harry potter movie or lord of the rings, there is alot of stuff missed or skipped, but they did their best to condense it into a format that is acceptable and can carry the spirit of the source :)

“He’s not dead” kept making me picture Pippin gripping at the funeral pires as Faramir lays there

I LOOOVE your reactions on this, I honestly loved the live action so much I started the anime and I started it from the beginning and tbh while it is very similar they have missed a lot of like side plot so I think I would recommend watching it from the beginning instead of starting where the live action left off cuz I did try that and it was a tiny bit confusing 😅😅

Thirsting and drooling over mihawk😍

Hands down the best reaction to this episode i've seen. The suspense must be brutal for you! ;)

I laugh so hard when Nami appears behind Usop in the duel scene when Monica says "Ooh she came..!" Please excuse my dirty brain, I alwasy like this but only inside my head. 😅

I knew she wasnt ready for the fight Mihawk v Zoro I was waiting for a tear from her for Zoro. But this episode is my favorite by far looking forward for the other 3 episode

I'm glad you're gonna check out the anime after, just start from episode one so you can compare the differences :) the Live Action is like the first 45 episodes condensed

I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH! IT'S SUCH A GREAT STORY!!! 🤩💖🔥

Watch the whole anime!! It’s so good and yes the live action does skip a few areas because of course you can’t copy and paste anime to live action so watch from the beginning and just keep watching don’t stop at episode 45 (that’s where the live action leaves off)

Loved that episode, it's probably my favourite of the season! From one Zoro fangirl to another, I feel your pain. 😅 They really did the fight well, and very accurate to the manga/anime.

Your reactions are great! By the way, has anyone mentioned to you yet how perfect it is that you're theme-ing your outfits for each video? Because, I've read that fashion is a big deal with One Piece, especially in the manga. The outfits for all of the main cast were often based on popular fashion trends at the time, and also changed often.

Thanks so Much for doing this one on its own, Episode 6 is also good on its own. Cant Wait to Watch This!!!

This series is really good. The actor really capture the essence of the characters from the anime. For Halloween, I suggest you watch the crow. It's like the Halloween version of die hard since the movie takes place the night before and during Halloween.

The way you got so angry at the end 😂

I really enjoy watching your reactions. 😂 your laugh is so contagious! If you like Mackenyu's sword fight here, better warch him in RUROUNI KENSHIN live action the one with the jinchuu arc, it was the last 2 movies in 2021. Omg I forgot the actual title 😂 the one where he played Enishi. Edit: So I searched for the title, it was Rurouni Kenshin: The Final. There are 5 installments of this film and he was in the last one.

16:58 so many feelings :)

Love the reaction Monica (dont count my boy Zoro out!) and these last few outfits have been *chef's kiss*

I love your reactions!

He's got the hat in the flashback, so it has to be after Shanks left.

"We are full" is a polite way to tell commoners to get lost, and after 3 week the ship would somewhere else so can't even find it.

holy. i enjoyed your reaction so much because i feel represented. hahahaha. for real, it's so hard to stop watching One Piece at some points. especially when real world commitments forces you to stop and be in agony. hahaha i watched the anime from start to the latest episode, then i continued to the manga. i believe you should start at one piece anime's first episode. the length is part of the journey, and it's a journey you'd want to experience again after some point so don't rush into it. i'm not sure if you can manage to not watch more than what is covered in the live action bcs honestly, it gets so gripping around that point. but if you can stop there and wait for the season 2 of live action, that's okay too since i think it's *your* journey with the crew and we're really just reliving ours vicariously through you.

I appreciate your appreciation of all the gorgeous and charming gentlemen in this show~~ Lots of good/perceptive observations you made in this ep too! Can’t wait to watch your reaction for next episode too~~

The live action is a very condensed version. The anime has much more character development, some things are kept secret compared to the live action, and usopp gets way more spotlight in syrup village as well as nami and usopp having a very real and surprising encounter which im sad was left out of the live action

If you are planning to watch the anime but want to stay fresh for Season 2, watch up to episode 45. I personally recommend going ahead in the anime though because even though it’s been renewed for a second season, it will probably take a year or more for the live action to get made. It took about 7 years to make this season after all.

Honwstly, big credit to whoever made Mihawk's sword plus the editing. They made the swings look heavy while also making it look easy for him to hold in one hand.

Man I've been waiting for this episode on your channel mwahahahahaha

i can't believe that zoro's actor is sonny chiba's son. i grew up watching sonny's film back in the day.

Oda (OP autor) put a condition to his participation : no relationship between the crew members (there is none in the original)

Hey Monica! A little helpful info! Season 1 of the Live Action covers the first 45 or so episodes of the anime. I would definitely recommend continuing past that mark so your hype for the Live Action is even greater. How will they do this? How could they adapt that? As a fan past 1,012 episodes, it's my favorite question to ask right now. This first season deviates greatly from the anime and manga in terms of plot and cause and effect. But it is about 70 to 80% accurate to the source material. You'd really enjoy the greater depth of the anime, along with its more homey, family vibe. Cant wait to see your reactions to it!!

Not Gonna Lie, My Favourite Part of Watching ur reactions is watching You swoon over the Guys in the Show. Your reactions and expressions are Great!

that scene drove me crazy too

Lol I told you heheheee!!! Also get the tissues ready for the next three episodes as well!!! You're going to need them!!

Mihawk is awesome. These flashbacks are amazing

Hey guys, I think she knows they lyin' 😂😉

Don't worry Zorro won't die because if they follow the anime he will live for at least 15 more seasons.

Can't believe they killed him so early in the live action

To peeps with a skewed worldview: "May all your delulu come trolulu, you placebozos 🙏"

Every next episode will be better than previous one

This show was perfectly cast

zorro: get's stabbed monica about nami: oh, she *came*

WHAT I WILL SAY SPOILER FREE, is that the live show follows the manga. NOT, the anime. This may not seem like a big deal, but from what I have come to understand, the anime was heavily censored or changed to be less violent, than the original manga. Episode 6, has a very specific detail that reflects the story as it originally was in the manga, not the anime. From what I understand, the anime follows the Dragon Ball Z format, which is to say that the live show covers what is known as "Romance Dawn". A title given to the first 100 EPISODES OF THE ANIME !!! Like DBZ, the anime drawls out a lot of things. It ALSO, includes a lot of things that the live show didn't have time for. In some cases, the live show has already included things, (Like Garp is Luffy's Grandfather). That almost don't appear in the first 100 + episodes at all. But the way it was done HERE, kind of flies better than it might have been in the anime. There are changes. But I can proudly say that most of them were for practicality, NOT, simply to be woke or change the primary story. So if you decide to watch the anime, perhaps just watch specific episodes? I know the first encounter with Buggy was much longer. The guy throwing knives at Zoro in Ep. 2, was originally riding a unicycle, and it was a whole battle scene. Similarly, Don Crieg, actually had a much larger scene in the events at Bratea. So maybe just watch those episodes so that you can get a more in depth look at specific events?

Love u. Seen u is like se en first time. Reeeealy love u

03:01 if he has the hat, it is after he met Shanks ;)

Fun fact: The ability Luffy used in this episode is called "gum gum balloon," or "gomu gomu no fusen."

The live action is good as it is, loved it so much. It is not accurate, it's more worth it to watch the anime from the beginning. Btw, the anime is the first 45 episodes in the anime. Please, make sure to pause what you are watching when you are talking to the camera or looking away. One Piece is very intentional, everything is important.

prepare the tissues for all the other episodes x

Great reaction, cant wait for you to react the anime yeahhhhh

Live action got all the emotions and everything but still there is a lot LA missed that was in anime so i hope if you start anime.. u start with ep 1 ❤❤

Looks like the back story of luffy and his grandfather was after shanks left cause he has the hat that shanks gave him

12:31 I mean he is kinda the best shot in the east blue 😂

the weird thing about Usopp, is sometimes.... his lies come true...

Girl , your question got me confused , you said that if it was before or after he met SHANKS .... when obviously you can see luffy wearing the hat.

Ciao Monica :) Anime and Manga have quite some differences from live action, which is sort of a condensed version: First of all, the Garp/Koby storylines happen in a longer range and even the granpa reveal takes place later (around chapter 380 in the manga!), here it's functional to introduce better the Marines and the theme that good and evil are not exclusive to a faction. All the arcs are longer and more articulated in the originals and about the Baratie the former villain Is the one who Mihawk defeat during his introduction (which Is also the captain of the starved pirate Sanji feeds... As i have said: longer stories in the originals) . Of course there are also other differences buy those are the main ones to the time you watched ;)

When Luffy told Zeff about Sanji feeding Ghin, he said "He did that? What a good kid!" Not sure if you missed that since you edited in the reaction of yourself saying "oh no he's telling zeff" but there was nothing in the edit about it afterwards.

“Say hello to my Gatito Blade”

You can try to watch the anime from the start up until where the live action stopped it's like 45 episodes. If season 2 isn't already out when you reached that point you can decide to continue watching.

your pain for zoro LOLLLL hope you can watch the next ep soon

Hey monica the creator of one piece never like the idea of romance in One Piece. So honestly don't expect anyone falling in love 😂 One Piece is found family type of story

The LA is a great starting point if you want to jump into the anime and I do think it is enough to skip most of what it covers as for what is missing up to the baratie is just a little more time into general motivations. At most I say to watch anime Mihawk and Zoro fight on youtube That would put you to start at episode 30 and the arc covered by the last two episodes of the LA. But I think there is enough change that it is worth to watch both versions. With that said watching everything is fine as well, I also reccommend "One Pace" which is a fan made edit of episodes taking out filler and reducing time panderig (something that do become a problem later on but not relevant in the part covered by the LA). For differences: Garp and Coby arent really part of the anime at this point but we see Garping recruiting Coby soon after it, the reunion and Garp revelation is way later in the anime. Usopp had 3 kids following him. Buggy was a lion on the crew, he is funny. Don Krieg was defeated by Luffy after running from Mihawk. Now the setup for the next arc is very different so minor spoilers for episode 6 below: In the anime nami steals the ship to go home, zoro usopp and another character go after them, Luffy and Sanji go later after the fight. The other character is part of a duo of bounty hunters that are Zoro's friends and help the crew out. Arlong dont really appear until the next arc and Buggy takes a little longer to return in the anime

In the flashback, he's wearing the straw hat.

If you like watching cooking food in anime here are a few I watched and enjoyed: Yakitate!! Japan; Food Wars!: Shokugeki No Soma; Isekai Shokudou aka Restaurant to Another World. Usopp isn't a liar. He's a storyteller that just embellishes his stories a bit.

If this almost made her cry just wait till episode 7…

So I think the live action really did well overall. If you want to watch the anime, but still want to keep the live action fresh. I’d say watch only to the same end beat or arc that the live action does. Otherwise… if you would like to see the live action with an understanding of what’s already happened and just to see how they would change it from the anime, I would suggest watching it segmented in the big story arcs. Without context or spoilers, here are the arcs that I think the live action will take for its route: East Blue (season 1), Alabasta (season 2), Skypiea (season 3)… This is all I can think of for now. Beyond those arcs I feel like the live action would severely consider mini in between arcs because they’d be cutting out way too much if they only grab the bigger segmented sections. Season 1 alone already took out a lot. Even tho I am satisfied with which parts they kept, some fun segments and iconic quotes/lines were amiss. In my opinion. Keeping a fresh take on the live action by only seeing the anime up to the live action points in the story would be best option for content-wise. Funny enough I got my friend to start the anime because of this adaptation. 😊 He’s almost done with the East Blue arc.

Hands off Daddy Mihawk he is mine 👿🤬😤😂

Something to keep in mind the creator, Eiichiro Oda, has stated that nobody on the crew will fall in love with one another. It was even recently revealed that one of the requirements the Live Action had to follow was that same rule as well They definitely have chemistry, but keep in mind that none of them will be together.

I agree with comments watch anime first. The live action is very similar but imo you will still get the thrill of something new even if knowing a lot of the info.

3:03 bruh he has the hat so after

If you ever want to watch the anime but don’t want to watch every episode, the one piece movies is pretty much summaries in each arc until like episode 700

This show takes 8 episodes to cover most of the east blue saga, up to and including the arlong park arc, a total of 44 episodes of anime. If you want to avoid spoilers for season 2 of the live action, you should stop at episode 44 and avoid going on to the loguetown arc. Imo it's worth watching the anime, there's a lot more context in it for the characters and their motivations and back stories, since they have more time to play with.

its based of the manga not anime btw but ya in the manga they do a lot of close ups in the panels and such and the adapted a lot of that into the show

There is no romance among the straw hats. Oda said so himself.

so how about that storm huh? lol!

no romance between the straw hats !! oda doesn't any of it, its just a found family troupe. anyways 😊 loved the reaction ❤

Daddy Zoro, Daddy Mihawk, sanaol daddy

Mihawk is a little anticipated taste of the dangerous people the crew meets on the Grand Line.....and Mihawk has not shown his full power either in the manga or in the anime, much less in live action....

If you will watch the anime then the comparison comments we could wait UwU Because the source material its very close, but obviously since they had to shorten 45 episodes anime in 8 live-action episodes there are so more to watch in this East blue saga so cant wait that you finish to watch the live-action and then a n possibile anime! \°A°/

RIP Zoro

So at the beginning little luffy had the hat already. So it was after Shanks left.

"Oh no I've been butchering it" Don't worry, it's supposed to be inspired by French so it should be pronounced like you first did. But the Japanese language does not like silent letters so they pronounce the "e" at the end. If anything you pronounced it better than the anime did xD

Give a try to Food Wars. Sounds like your kind of alley.
