You say that but it might be 10 years before the manga finishes. LOL Oda planned for 5 more years about 3 years ago, but although we are at the end of the series there is still a lot to go. (Personally I hope he doesn't rush it) Loved the video. Looking forward for your next entry.

@@Iberlosfor any LA onlys, next will be MAJOR manga spoilers Yeah, I don’t think they series is ending any time before 2028 honestly, since we will probably have 10 more chapters of escaping EH+world updates, then going to Elbaf (probably at least 20-30 chapters), finding the OP arc (probably 50+ chapters) and then final war all secrets revealed arc (80+ chapters). It’s gonna be a long ride

​@@aristotleshadow9296 that's only the confirmed stuff

@@royalfun1031 Hopefully Oda doesn't get TOO distracted with side stuff, his health is suffering enough as it is.

Just read the manga.. its way better than the live action and its not 1:1 adaptation.. there always been changes and not accurate than the manga.

lol

Feels like the end times are near

😂

On god 😂

The bind leading the blind fr

The first episodes are some of my favorites. I like the earlier ones more than anything after say, Sabaody Archipelago.

⁠​⁠@@yournumberonepalwhen i was first watching i felt i didn’t like them that much, but looking back i rmbr being so happy, it’s not even nostalgia either cuz i watched it all around the same time. BUT after Sabaody has some of my fav stuff. Impel Down/Marineford, Whole Cake Island, Wano. all peak imo. but yea early one piece is so good.

PSA: All of one piece is good, to the surprise of nobody

Good. You just read the Prologue 😂😂

Then you catch up and it's like why tf are there only 1200+ chapters

Merphy just a quick correction the live action didn’t finish the first saga, the town after arlong park is apart of the east blue and not the next one. Great video

You’re pretty :)

You need to do a "Booktok/Booktubers Bullied into Reading One Piece" Reverie

Surprise surprise the manga is better than the live action.

Are you planning on doing this for every arc? It would be really cool too this team up.

Honestly, one of the best choices for one if we had to pick as a community lol

Isn't that kind of exactly what they mean When they say, follow your passion and it'll lead places?

she is like welp* looks at kaidou fight* XD

that was so funny knowing how much she loves Buggy

Best fucking tankobon released in eight hundred years! "A tale full of laughs, the whole way through!" - Very Amused Man says

Yeh exactly Luffy has a high emotional intelligence that is kinda lost in the show. In the beginning Luffy was fighting with chou chou but he's a good judgement of character and saw Chou Chou's conviction to fight for his treasue. Orange Town arc is pretty much an arc about treasure. Luffy and Nami are Pirate and Theif, they both hunt for treasure so what makes them different? How does that compare to how other perceive treasures? Like buggy? or Chou chou?or the town people? When comparing a pirate to a thief Nami's obvious assessment to why she's better is that pirates kills and thief dont, so when Buggy told her to kill luffy she felt like she was compromising herself. Luffy only smiled and told her this is what she gets facing a pirate with a weak-half resolved, she complains, "what conviction? To kill people" "The resolve to put your own life on the line". Which pretty much gives us a good understand of how luffy see's what a pirate is ought to be compare to how nami she's what a pirate means to her. To luffy any thing that is deep to you, that's your treasure, take it for yourself even against those that oppose to take it for themself. A pirate puts their life on the line for the treasure even if it means to confront their enemy, a thief's goal is to evade their enemy while getting treasure. That's what separate a pirate from the thief and hits Luffy's belief that a pirate should put their life on the line for things that they truly want to take. This is also the spirit he saw with Chou Chou and the villagers, so he decides to take their treasures away from Buggy and his pirates by liberating the village

My guess is as the show goes on, they will have more time for smaller characters like that because the main characters will be more established. OR, what I REALLY hope, is that we stop with this 8-episode limitation and go back to 12 😭 I just feel like so many fantasy and sci fi shows these days need a COUPLE more episodes to flesh things out!

they did shoot a scene with Luffy and Chou chou but sadly it fot cut. at least Everybody Really Loved the Story!!!!!!!

@@Nastyn1nja808 I heard that some scenes were also shot involving Dragon (outside of the Roger execution). Wonder if these deleted scenes will ever see the light of day somewhere.

that's a good point. I think manga luffy wouldn't save the people buggy chained. People think that I am saying that luffy is evil but this isn't true at all. Luffy save people that he connects with. He is not just a guy who looks for people to save.

Count me in! Do they need a bookish member of their crew?

Nakama!!!!!!

@@Bookborn i cannot answer this question without any spoilers

⁠@@Bookbornevery crew needs bookish members!

@@Bookborn Are you shamelessly asking for a self-insert character? or are you asking for spoilers? Because if you want, I'll tell you about new crew members.

Luckily I know a few reactors who immediately loved Usopp as of Syrup Village and it has made them reactors that I keep coming back to as they progress through the series. One is on The Drawk Show, and the other is from the channel Pork Chops Rice and Peaches.

tbh he doesn't really feel like anything but a pure gag character most of the time until his fight at the end of the next arc and then his depth really opens up when, you know when.

Usopp has been one of my absolute favorite character since his arc. As a lover of tales, stories and legends, it really hits something in me. I believe Usopp will be the one to tell the One Piece's story after Luffy's death, and proclaim himself a god too haha

Uselop is baggage.

Fully agree. He was great from the start for me and kept getting better

Not my first manga tho! I read some as a kid and have been reading Haikyu as an adult before starting one piece :) I just haven’t covered them on the channel

@@Bookborn Yes, and I was happy to find that out during the video :D

I know, for example, 1 hour 14 teasing brook

lol Evil

​@kimmygersmann8189 um Please😢😢😢😢

I thought it was a reference to klabautermann

Glad someone else picked up on that! I was laughing so much...

Actually, them making it to the grandline so "quickly" made me think that my perception may have been wrong, as well. I was like "oh, the plot is progressing"

In my opinion. The story comes with a single promise. It don't matter who you are, why it happens, when it happens, or if you tell anybody. *But this story promises its gonna GET YOU.* And then once it does it the first time, ITS GONNA GET YOU AGAIN! I swear to god, some chapters make me cry just as hard as the first time. That is art! For me it was the moment Luffy put Roger's hat on Nami. That was the scene I knew this was going to be a very special cartoon. Oh boy, how far have my expectations ever been exceeded!

​@@Bookbornthis show being so JOYFUL it's a deliberate feature from the author Oda and it would be spoiler for recent stuff being published recently so yeah this was ALWAYS supposed to be a tale full of laughs and joy

Especially with Luffy in the manga now. In the beginning, you will think that his dream of becoming the Pirate King to be ridiculous, but after seeing the stacked crew that he has gathered, the incredible allies he’s made, & the powerful villains he’s defeated, you will feel like he’s earned the right to be called the next Pirate King.

@@Moe_Posting_ChadAfter reading the most recent tragic backstory in the manga, I have even said “Oda, how do you keep topping yourself?! How is this backstory more tragic than all the others before it?!”

maybe an undead to haunt the ship?

Love this detail!

I KNOW RIGHT??!! I love it so much, she is so smitten by this story we all love

Exactly and I love it

Try Girls' Last Tour anime and manga. The story is amazing

You can read/watch One Piece 10 times before Winds of Winter cames out 😂

Delicious in dungeon is also a nice anime to watch with the family

The shade of finishing one piece before Winds of Winter comes out ☠

I've always found the too long argument to be silly as well, because when you really think about it, it just comes from the mindset that you think you need to do it all in as short of a time as possible. You could read a single chapter a day and be caught up in 3 and a half years, or a volume a week and be caught up in 2 and a quarter years. That sounds like a long time, but you could do that instead of just putting it off for years saying it's too long. So in the future if anyone says that it's too long, just reply with "you don't have to get caught up as soon as possible, just take your time, because making slow progress even if it takes years is better than not doing it for years if you are genuinely interested and the length is the only thing stopping you".

I didn't like Sanji for so so so long. *Then Oda-san did it again!* He literally can't keep getting away with it! (Waiting for that next delicious scan to hit the getting spot tomorrow. Chapter 1120 is gonna be so peak! I am so ready to be blow away again)

​@Moe_Posting_Chad y tho

@@royalfun1031 If you know you know...

@@Moe_Posting_Chad FMI?

@@royalfun1031 Did you somehow skip Whole Cake Island?

Yeah, they should have at least kept Nojiko knowing about Nami's plan, her tattoo really meant nothing in the LA

I agree with the person below that at the very least they shouldve kept Nojiko as knowing. That I think is the weakest part of changing the story. I'm guessing the tattoo was just kept in as a nod to the manga

Because this is about the tranny Koby.... Just when I thought I could literally not hate Koby as a character even more! The live action shows me just how much more hate I have to feel! Also extremely bitter about the character assassination of Garp. Its like he's Akainu wearing Garp's skin.

I gotta say I like it better that no one knew so it makes it an actual sacrifice on Nami’s part

I do agree that the tattoo in LA was silly choice. There would have been so many ways around it. 1)Stick to the manga's plot, she knew the truth about Nami and was just acting along, the tattoo was showing that she was standing with her the whole time 2)Follow the LA's plot but have Bellemeré to have huge blue tattoos visible on her neck and arms, then Nojiko's tattoo would be her homage to her. Nami taking similar tattoo at the end would be her returning to their family 3)Follow the LA's plot but don't paint tattoos on Nojiko first, in the ending when Nami's new tattoo is revealed it's shown that Nojiko took even bigger tattoo marking them as sisters again Probably even more options, maybe even have it be whole villages tradition to be tattooed blue, but they just went the laziest way "Oh, she has tattoo so let's put that and don't ask questions". It's so weird because they clearly understood so much about the other characters, the scene with Garp and Zeff eating in Baratie is one of my favourites because how smartly written it is. So weird.

Thanks for the welcome!! I'm collecting fandoms like infinity stones at this point

Manga goes so incredibly hard rn

Same😊

I meant to ask about the sound track - was the theme song the same as the anime theme song? I loved it so much

​@@BookbornLive action has a different soundtrack, but they make it similar to anime. And sometimes it is a cover, for example "we are". The first anime openning and one piece fans anthem

​@@Bookbornit's all original sounds created by the same 2 people that worked on the Witcher. Though they did use a remix of the first anime opening during the final barrel scene. That scene is iconic!

I remember thinking at the start of the show that it felt a lot like they were trying to lean into a Pirates of the Carribean vibe with the soundtrack. I dont remember enough of it to say if I was right on that at the end, but I do remember recognizing some iconic tracks from the anime in moments that felt fitting, so all in all I wasnt disappointed.

I think it's moreso the first group (might've been 4kids) to translate One Piece were *afriad* of getting into a legal dispute instead of a legal issue actually happening.

There was never any copy right issue. "El Zorro" had long since been in public domain, but 4Kids in their infinite wisdom didn't bother to do any research on it so they just assumed it was still copyright. Viz then copied what 4Kids had done, not bothering to fix the mistake.

They didn’t have issues, they were essentially overcautious. It’s genuinely annoying they’ve kept it wrong for the sake of consistency for *decades* after it was cleared up.

Viz actually started initial print runs with Zoro, but switched to Zolo to match the 4kids dub. They then stuck to it long after

@@jazzycat8917 I was WONDERING about this because I was like "why would zorro be a copyright issue"

Can I convince her?? Maybe my next goal 🤪🤪

@@Bookborn YES! Do it! As a longtime fan of both of yours, another collab is welcome and appreciated

@@Bookborn Don't do it. As much as I love the books I have come to terms that they will probably never be finished. Don't let someone else suffer.

She's tried before, about 5 years ago, and quit in the 2nd book.

​​@@finalfantasymad you realize that you're saying this in a video about one piece (which started at 1998 just like asoiaf) with two book tubers who also read brandon sanderson who have even more books and will probably take longer to finish his own series? I get the uncertain feel about grrm writing pace but most of the pessimism around it is bc he got late and the show passed the books and also he used to keep Giving us dates and postponing it. People really overreact to it but bookborn herself already is re-reading the series for how good it is. Even if it really ends up without a proper ending it is still one of the best pieces of literature out there.

Along with the "Why am I crying for a boat?" Then you know we got them for the loooong ride.

@@alastorcorvus why am I crying about a dog? why am I crying about a boat? why am I crying about a donut? why am I crying about a man who dresses like a baby?

I figured it shouldn’t have been “crap” but tbh I felt the mildness of the word added to they hilarity and so I sort of liked it 🥲🥲

she specifically said he isn't a big part of Alabasta, which is accurate, she probably wasn't thinking about loguetown when she said it

really? the greatest collab?

@@Heartbreak_Kiddfor me 😭

What an insightful analysis about Bellemere and I couldn’t agree more. The emotional part of her story is how hard she tries for them even though she isn’t great at it, and agreed that the slap coming after she says Nojiko isn’t her real sister is a super different flavor. Again, still uncertain why they couldn’t have kept that the same.

I will never not be a Koby fan don’t you worry

@@BookbornI hope your husband’s moderating the comments or something, ‘cause the One Piece fanbase isn’t well known for respecting spoilers. Thread these waters carefully.

Spoilers. *GARP DIED FOR NOTHING! FUCK KOBY!*

AHH yes the trap of you wanting to make everyone love your favorite so you soften their edges, not realizing the edges are what made them so interesting. I see it happen alll the time. The entire manga is a little whacky, so I think the exaggerated personalities really work

@@Bookborn yeah, it's all very over the top😄 i also missed Luffy being more of an "asshole", the guy has zero filter lol

This really resonates with me. I have seen a lot of people who ended up liking only Sanji in live action and not the original, which I feel it defeats the purpose of trying to make people like Sanji. A huge part of the appeal of Sanji is that he is a cool character with plenty of flaws. Removing all the flaws would just make him a sue. Just think about it, Sanji is handsome, a cook, kind hearted, powerful, suave, and intelligent. Oda jam packed him with too many virtues, hence why he tries to balance it out by making him pathetic with women, abbrasive, sensitive, and highly emotional. All of this is what made Sanji a very interesting character to analyze, since Oda gave incredible amount of care and details when writing him. In contrast, the one in live action feels more like the fan fiction version, too perfect, even though Sanji's imperfection is the reason why he stood out, especially compared to characters like Zoro.

The simping is an integral and lore/backstory *relevant* character flaw. Its part of what makes him Sanji! *Removing that part is like making him fight with knives or making him strike a woman! THAT'S NOT SANJI!*

Not to mention the character assassination of Garp. And the plot hooks that were removed and will cause narrative issues in later arcs... It feels so bad man.

And now, onto my most hated One Piece Live Action change: Even before watching the anime (having seen the live action first), I found the villagers to be really one-note and was disappointed that Nojiko, Nami's own sister, believed in her betrayal so easily. It's really unrealistic that she harbored hatred for Nami all these years without ever attempting to dig deeper. After their mother's death, Nami was her last remaining family member, so how could she bear to give up on her? The way she just assumed the worst, even spitting at her feet in the LA (live action) turned my blood cold. Her actions made it seem like she never really understood or loved Nami to begin with. What made it even worse was Genko's half-assed apology at the end that lasted one second. As a first time watcher, I was like, "Um...that's it? That was WEAK!" It really made Nami's loved ones come off as cardboard characters rather than actual people. Then I found out from fan complaints that this wasn't the case in the anime/manga. Apparently, both Nojiko and Genko as well as the entire village knew about Nami's sacrifice. That made much more sense to me and upon seeing the anime version, I was blown away by how much deeper it was than the LA. Both anime Nojiko and Genko felt like three-dimensional people, capable of critical thinking, who harbored unconditional love for Nami. Even when they were shocked and hurt by Nami's supposed betrayal, initially lashing out a bit, they never completely gave up on her. Nojiko quickly wised up and set about trying to figure everything out on her own. She started following Nami around and soon found out the truth. Even Genko and the villagers figured everything out eventually, but just chose not to say anything in order to give Nami the chance to break away from the burden of saving their village anytime she wanted. They were every bit worthy of Nami's sacrifice/suffering and proved that she wasn't the only one doing all the sacrificing. I get that the LA creators wanted to make Nami as sympathetic as possible to easily endear her to the viewers, but that shouldn't come at the cost of removing all layers/nuances from others to prop up one character. It makes her entire village feel less believable and lived in as everything/everyone there seemingly revolves only around Nami. At the very least, Nojiko and Genko should have eventually figured out her sacrifice and kept it a secret out of their love and desire to set her free, thus giving both characters more agency. Both Genko and Nojiko were underutilized in the LA and Genko, especially, felt more like a prop, existing for fan service (looked just like anime/manga him) rather than a character. Aside from the stealing incident in one of the flashbacks, he offered practically nothing to the narrative. The meaning of Nojiko's tattoos and his pinwheel are entirely lost here...what a shame! Upon watching the anime and getting the complete backstory, I loved this arc even more. It had everything: Betrayal, grief, slavery, oppression, loyalty, and unconditional love. This is where Oda really showed us he was capable of crafting mature/brutal stories. Bellemare's sacrifice and the fact that the entire village was secretly aware of Nami's suffering/sacrifice was extremely heartwrenching. Overall, the anime version of Arlong Park is a masterpiece and blows LA Arlong Park (much as I respect/adore it) out of the water, no contest! But I do have to say that, for me, Nami's "help me" scene in the live action was just as emotional as it was in the anime (subbed). Both versions gutted me equally and I also LOVED the live action only scene where she started screaming, "you can't do this..." while Nezumi's men held her down. So compelling and heart-wrenching: Emily Rudd's performance hit it out of the ballpark!!!

That surprises me so much, I really thought fans were gonna be so mad 😂

@@Bookborn he's probably the least liked villain and it's just a funny thing to do so we all laughed

@@Bookborn nah, he's really not well liked lol what i saw some people missing was not the character himself, but Gin and what the fight meant for Sanji's character development. Though while i can understand for time sake Krieg had to be cut, i at least hoped Sanji would witness Zoro's fight with Mihawk, him seeing Zoro (and Luffy) fight like that was a big thing for his character.

Actually it seems like he was seen recently with gin in recent chapters on Blackbeard's pirate island.

@@miraclefool9244 no I mean in the live action

It must be so disorienting for fans since the beginning to see so many new fans 25 years later!

Yeah the only manga I’ve read haven’t been battle manga! I actually didn’t know that was a classification!

@@Bookborn Well now that you know you might wanna prepare for extra long fights in the future. Because what you saw in East Blue was just a warm-up. Fights arent written the same way they are in western stories where it's just a quick mash of punches. Fights are treated as whole stories in and of themselves. To the point that they could even be considered character arcs in miniature. Be ready for that.

Fights are my least favourite parts of shonen manga. But the fights in one piece are great. But the thing I love most about one piece is definitely the world building, characters and insanely relatable and heart breaking back stories of different characters and nations. And often the stakes of fights are more than just on the main character they carry the fate of each country they visit. There's always so much emotional weight behind every victory.

​@@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu In good battle Shonen manga, the fights are meant to be the highlight. If you don't like them, it just means it fails at being a good battle Shonen.

@@reinartes7079 I'm just not keen on the genre. It's one of the most popular in anime but it's far from my favourite. I'm usually more interested in everything else around the fighting alot more. Doesn't matter if it's jjk, demon slayer, chainsawman, Naruto or bleach. I feel the same way in all of them. I like watching them for the character moments and over arching story, the fight scenes are just okay and sometimes I'm just bored of them. There are far more genres of anime out there. My favourites being neon genesis evanglion, hajime no ippo, fruits basket, violet evergarden, monogatari series, samurai champloo, cyberpunk, steins gate. But despite this one piece is still one of the best. Imo it offers alot more than just fighting.

Why can’t zoro be my fav 🥲🥲🥲

@@Bookborn well because we need to make space for Usopp! But again, there's time for that no need to rush :)

She mentioned once that she read A Game of Thrones and maybe A Clash of Kings, and then she stopped because she doesn’t like how graphically GRRM describes sexual stuff.
