Now every time a straw hat gets severely injured we will see Luffy show up with a torch

"I really started to love One Piece during Arlong Park" and "I can't believe I just cried over a boat" are probably the two most said sentences ever

"i refuse to get emotional" everyone else: "that's not your choice to make, bucko."

Welcome to the "I cried ove a ship" club We welcome you with tears

The “FOR WHAAAAAT??!!” Is EXACTLY how I felt when you hear her apologize 😂😂🤣 I cried like a baby over Merry, no shame.

Jack: "My heart is so warm, man." Oda: "...Perfect...😈"

Oda, a master of emotions, having us cry over a boat I've seen it a thousand times and it still gets me choked up. Masterful writing

Interesting fact about this Going Merry moment: Oda, the author of One Piece, stated that he was also crying while writing this chapter.

Thing is, The Going Merry was a caravel ship. Something that isn't remotely built for the turbulent seas of the Grand line. That she took the crew more than a quarter of the grand line is a testament to her own strength.

The thought of Merry holding it together until they meet another ship so the crew will be safe just destroys me

We cry over a ship because what for so long in the show we thought Merry was just a boat and home for the Strawhats was actually a Nakama, silently watching those who reside in her. She was with us the entire journey so far, but we didn't realize how much she meant to us until her fate was already sealed. We all cried over this Jack. This won't be the last time we cry in this story. Be prepared 😭

This is one of the most iconic moments in One Piece for sure. I still get chills at this moment

2:01 The most hilarious joke of the episode.

Iceberg coming for them is so underrated. There is no way he'd have taken a ship towards Enies Lobby unless he had 100% faith that the straw hat crew would succeed in their mission. The faith of this man is amazing.

2:01 "I refuse to get emotional" One Episode Later: *proceeds to get emotional af* Now Merry is resting in the sea of tears we made up for her

I don't even know how many times I rewatched this episode but every freaking time I start crying after that "Gomenne" man 😢.

Merry saying sorry before dying is a straight up sucker punch from Oda. And damn do I cry every time

"I refuse to get emotional." Yeah we all know how this ends.

When he said "that's home", I felt that. I feel like that's why I cried as well the first time I watched it. It's home for the Strawhats.

"this is a man's parting Not even a single tear should be shed." usopp's character development throughout this arc is amazing

Oda said that when he was drawing this chapter he had trouble stopping the tears. Even he couldn't stop crying over the loss of the Merry. No matter how many times I see this, I still get emotional. It just hits different. Giving Merry a Viking funeral was very fitting.

Jack: "Please make it stop," Mary: *Starts speaking to the crew one last time*

I watched this episode for the first time almost 15 years ago and it still hits just as hard today as it did then. I knew after your reaction to Robins backstory that this episode was going to be a tough one. Welcome to the "I cried over a boat" club.

Ussops biggest problem with them getting a new ship was that he felt like Luffy was just abandoning Merry as soon as she was a liability. Ussop had always felt insecure about his usefulness to the crew, so he figured he was going to be abandoned as soon as Luffy finally realized he was a burden. That would hurt even more than leaving, and if it was the case that he was abandoned in his time of need, it could cost him his life. Of course, the real problem was just that Luffy came to terms with Merry’s death sooner than Ussop did and did a very poor job of sympathizing with how Ussop was feeling. Luffy is surprisingly amazing at reading how people are feeling but he is always extremely direct and hard hitting. When he met Coby, he knew how Coby felt very quickly but his response was to punch him and tell him he hates him for being a wimp. Coby was able to use that hard hitting message to change his life. Before fighting Crocodile, Luffy and Vivi got into a fight about who to fight, what to do, and who might be sacrificed in this battle. Was Luffy gentle and calmly explaining why, patiently letting Vivi process the situation? No, he expected Vivi to come up to speed to where HE was at emotionally IMMEDIATELY. It really hurt Vivi but she was able to pull through. He was also holding Ussop up to his own emotional standards, but Ussop didn’t take it. Ussop, just like some other people, takes more time to process emotions and that’s ok. Luffy was right (as he pretty much always is) but he handled the situation in a way the hurt Ussop too much for him to handle. Luffy and the crew chasing down Robin to Enies Lobby and declaring war on the entire world government even when Robin said she was only going to burden them showed to Ussop that Luffy doesn’t actually abandon useless/burdensome comrades, even if the situation seems impossible. He saw it again when luffy begged the shipwrights to fix Merry when she split in two. Sanji showed Ussop that he wasn’t useless, he could do things that none of the rest of them could do. And the extra time spent on their adventure to Enies Lobby gave Ussop the time he needed to come to terms. He had told Franky that he knew deep in his heart that Merry was done for. Even after seeing the crushed keel, it didn’t change anything because what he needed wasn’t proof, it was sympathy and time to process his emotions.

I cry every single time I watch this scene, Merry wasn't just a ship, she was more than just their home, Merry was a member of the crew, Oda did a beautiful job on this scene

Jack, I'm a sympathetic cryer, you can't go breaking like that man. I've cried too many times to this exact arc! 🥲

I think one of the things that sells this scene so hard is its one of the first times we see Luffy break down crying. He only had shed tears previously when Usopp leaves the crew (not counting childhood moments) and aside from that has been rather stoic throughout the series. Here Luffy completely breaks down over this heavy loss and that's when I start breaking down with him.

This is one of two moments that I just can't get through. Every reaction I watch, every milestone, this makes me cry without fail. We love you Merry

iShinobi has now witnessed Oda's Masterful skills at pullling at our Emotions. Welcome to the club! [Passes Tissues to iShinobi] 😭😭😭

Oda started crying, drawing the manga panels of the burning merry- actual fact

This was the first scene in any show that actually made me tear up

Thank you Jack. It's truly amazing how watching this for the thousand time with you makes the feelings of this sad scene 100 times stronger than the first time. I'm an adult now and i understand some of the things that happen in this arc way better than when i first read it, and fuck my life i can't stop crying.

I saw this when it popped up on the weekly manga back in Japan, saw it when the episode aired, and now 31-32 years old and I'm still crying watching this reaction. I'm really glad to see more and more people over the last few years giving One Piece a chance despite it's long run. It's overwhelming when you think about catching up but each arc builds up more and more for the next and nothing feels like it's cut off. Everything feels connected. And anyone who enjoys a good story should give this a chance. I mean how often can you say a show made you cry over a boat.

Sanji critically handling the most behind the scenes things😂😂😂😂

a truly emotional arc

fun fact: robin after this arc call the crewmembers wity their acrual names and not their role anymore

And tears were shed by all.

That’s why Enies Lobby is always my favorite arc now. Emotions. To lose one nakama while retrieving another is to be caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions.

Jack at the end of the first episode this reaction: "My heart is so warm" Jack the entire next episode: *WAVES of sadness*

Wen he started the OP run , I knew this was gonna break him , like it did all of us

Lie down, try not to cry, cry a lot.

The fact that we were "crying over a ship". This show was totally hit different

I have already seen this scene countless times, cried each and every time, and even while watching your reaction I cried like how can they do that😭😭😭😭

5:26 Ah yes, Robin's SECOND most powerful move.

I already watch this scene a few times and I still can't stop crying.. You're not afraid to show your emotions and that's why I love your reaction

Well jack welcome to the community of people who have cried over a boat glad to have you👏

Man old one piece moments too good ngl...the emotions, the reveals, the humor.

I swear throughout all of one piece this was the first of three moments where I have cried. this, ace's death, and the straw hats getting sent away for 2 years..........

Oh cool, an anime about pirate? That sounds interesting! Look at the main character, he looks like he's having fun all the time, this must be a funny anime. ~300 episodes later:

ODA sensei beforehand said that one "Strawhat" would pass away.

Jacks mind awesome whole crew is back together. Oda “Gotcha Bitch!”

I love your personality and that you let your emotions show. Makes me keep coming back to watch your videos because you're real. ♥

Not many people notice, but in the Water 7 arc Usopp goes through the 5 stages of grief.

I was literally waiting for this episode to see Jack cry... but I ended up crying too lol

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AND I AM SO HAPPY OMG

Great reaction! Damn, this hits so hard!

It’s just getting started

The power ups, the fights, the emotions of Robin's back story and merry send off, this is my favorite arc in all of one piece. Welcome to the I cried over a boat club 🫡🥲

I've been reading/watching one piece for 8 years from 8 years old to 17 years old was I can tell you for a fact that idc how many times I see that boat or this scene I WILL CRY GOD-DAMMIT

11:33 I’d like to believe that EVERYONE cried more when hearing Luffy scream out in joy “Merry!!!” 😂😭

I have seen this many many times, but it still touches me and I start to cry.

It was like watching Jack drive down a road to a nuke and it was glorious. RIP Merry. Always remembered!

This makes me cry so many times. No matter how many i watch this, tears is still there

I just want you to know, I sobbed nonstop from the moment the Merry showed up at Impel down, to when they put her to rest, and I fell asleep sobbing

Nice! What a way to start my day before work.😊

Still crying watching this episode man

The end where Merry begins to talk end says sorry gets me everytime 😢😭😭

you open a closed wound, this made me cry again D: Merry I love you, also love your reaction hope you still going with One Piece is so good !

Been waiting specifically for this episodes… never commented on that to avoid spoilers, always refreshing to see someone else suffer, lol

Yup we actually cried for a boat

no matter how many times i watch this , it still got me cry a bucket .

No matter how many times I see this, I always break down and melt into a puddle... It hits hard, saying goodbye to a friend. One Piece is filled to the brim with masterful storytelling and emotional moments. Truly a masterpiece of adventure. The episode count is very daunting, but I see it as a blessing. There's so much to the story and so many details, it absolutely hooks you into it. It's pretty rare that you get to see someone experience it for the first time, especially after experiencing it for yourself years ago.

Saying goodbye to Merry was the hardest episode to get through. I cry every time I rewatch it too.

You know a story’s written well when it can include a funeral for a boat and everyone cries over it

I’m rewatching one piece and this break me every time. Merry Thanks you

14:53 im still feeling that inhale RIP merry

How good must the writing be to make you cry about an animated ship. How much better is it to make you cry about it after seeing it multiple times and knowing what's happening.

Oda really had us cry for a boat 🥲

I've watched a lot of anime... A lot.... But I don't think I've ever cried so hard in my life for any death in Anime.

I Love this anime so much. Im so happy to see you watching this piece of Art.

as if this moment wasnt enough on its own, the slow, melancholy version of "We Are" playing in the background will make me tear up every time

I cried even though I already watched this scene like 100 times

I have easily seen this episode hundreds of times. I always cry, I love One Piece!!! I'm glad to see so many people going through the same...I don't have many friends that watch One Piece..so, thank you :)

No matter how many times I go back and watch the sad moments it never gets easier

even though I am already at the Wano arc, this scene still hits hard

Just Oda knows how to make a grown man cry over a ship 💔

I feel like there's a lot of things I've cried over that I legitmaly can't explain why as much as there's merry. It does help that the sound of spandams spine snapping in half is going echo through my dreams for a while though, legit one of the most satisfying sounds of all time

I'm crying with you eventhough I've watched this a thousand times.

It's sounds so ridiculous, if you cry about a ship, but if you watched One Piece until this episode, it makes totally sense. This scene is one of the most memorable episodes and saddest scene (until this episode) in One Piece

this is the episode where i cried like a baby for a ship

Perfect timing I just finished the last one piece video!!! Thank god I don’t have to wait for one of the saddest moments in One Piece! Going to cry for sure with you Jack

Him: Make it stop! Merry: I'm sorry.

You just earned your one piece card. You cried over a drawing of a ship.

I’m waiting for that name change, iPirate

Keep up the good work 🙏🏾

Man I thought I could get through this without crying, but no how could I not cry

Thats just sad :(

"Please make it stop" Merry: I'm sorry 😭😭😭

mother sea the saddest memorable ost that sticks in my heart

Another one to the playlist!
