Man just got married and then went on to rank one piece story arcs

i think usopp not having a more deep backstory is more in line with his character, he's just a normal guy who's trying to chase his dream but he lacks the strength that the others have so every time he has a win he has to put in mountains more effort than everyone else

You missed a REAL emotional gut punch with Enies Lobby. Never forget Merry. The little ship that never forgets you

5:00 skypiea was INSANELY lore heavy and filled to the brim with foreshadowing more than any other early ark and I didn't even realize it until I went back to re-watch it with someone who has never seen one piece before

Zou was a short but killer arc. It had some of the best moments like "Raizo is safe" and also the biggest lore drop about road poneglyphs

I love how Drum Island got rid of half the crew, had Luffy starving, injured and frostbitten, had him climb a mountain before even getting started... just to make it remotely fair for the villains. ...and you still felt like Luffy barely got serious kicking their ass.

Baratie is where One Piece gets good. Arlong Park is where it becomes GREAT and you realize the series can and will hit you in the feels.

More so than the nami moment , in arlong park the best moment for me was "this room can't be here anymore" as someone who was abused and hurt in a specific location like nami ,that moment breaks me. It's a moment in where luffy fully understands how to help nami and free her mentally. I wish my "room" didn't exist anymore... but it does... the people are no longer there but I wish it was burned down... and thats why ,to me, that moment was even more impacting than her stabbing the tattoo.

I have yet to see someone not put Alabasta at S or A at least, it's truly a goated arc

Garnt : "I almost completely caught up with One Piece Manga!" Oda Sensei : "Why don't I take a 4 weeks breaks so that Garnt can catch up to the latest chapters?"

Luffy yelling at Ussop for asking Rayleigh about the One Piece is my favorite moment in the entire series, and I am so happy to see someone put respect on it.

I'm so insanely glad you're a One Piece fan. I also faced this problem, that they are not around me, moreover, no one wants to watch it because there are so many episodes in it. Personally, it's not enough for me, and I look forward to each new chapter as my birthday. It's amazing how clearly our impressions of the arches coincided (of course, not all absolutely, but almost all). Thanks for this video!

Everyone always forgets when talking about Zoros loyalty and the Nothing Happened moment about how Sanji was not only willing to sacrifice himself for Luffy, but also for Zoro. Its overshadowed by the nothing happened moment, but IMO its equally as awesome.

I loved whitebeards line of "its a sin to make the father bury the son" like that shit hit me for real, especially now that I am a father myself, Ace and Whitebeard deserved more screen time

thriller bark is both a big battle arc and a lore heavy arc it foreshadows wano, whole cake, xebec's crew, zoro fought ryuma, oars is related to the void century bink's sake and much more

Baratie was underrated. Let's remember: Mihawk vs Zoro, Sanji's backstory, Sanji leaving. It had really big moments

Garnt: "If someone has a high bounty, they are fucking strong" Buggy enters the chat

One Piece gets so many emotional moments from me. "Nothing happened" "I want to live! Take me out to sea with you!" "YOU'RE MY NAKAMA!" "I want to set sail one last time" "I'm part of the future pirate kings crew. I'm not intimidated by a mere Yonko" "JUMP INTO THE OCEAN!" *raises fists into the air with backs turned* "Luffy will never...stop until he becomes Pirate King" "I want to return to the Sunny" "Was I a good father?" And so much more! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!

Water 7 and Enies Lobby gets so much better because of the Long Ring Long Land Arc. It's a goofy and fun arc with a pretty heavy set up for what's to come. We see our crew fight together so that they won't be split up, fight for their honor as a crew and most of all, we get to know what a flag means. Later, making the Sogeking shoot the flag moment so much better and deeper.

Fishman Island has my favourite One Piece quote. It is when they're showing a memory of Fisher Tiger talking with King Neptune and Queen Otohime about finally having escaped from being a slave to the Celestial Dragons. They ask him "What did you see on your latest voyage?" and he utters but a single word - "Humans." It carries such heavy implications of what he experienced in Mariejois.

I think it says a lot about One Piece that one of his lower rank arcs are some in the beginning, and mostly after a certain point they rank higher and higher. This is a long running series, but it routinely surprises and excites people with its story. If that ain't the mark of a good story idk what is.

Garnt: "See you guys, i'll be taking a break" also Garnt: "HERE'S A NEW UPLOAD IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS SINCE I SAID I WILL TAKE A BREAK BECAUSE ONE PIECE." we're glad to have you back Garnt

even though many people think skypea island mediocre, i think this arc is one of the best arc oda has to offer i really like how the lore behind sky island (cloud island), skypea (the literall island) and jaya island connected in very believable way that may give us deep undestanding of much more about one piece world. the class between two difference culture and the exploration to hunt a gold it's very fun to watch. this arc is where strawhat become a pirate, with treasure hunting, exploration and many more.

Oh man you're making me tear up remembering all those emotional moments as well... I never really bothered to analyze One Piece but as you went through each arc I knew exactly which moments you were going to mention and I remember them in detail, including the lines they say in Japanese.

I just recently caught up on One Piece, and hearing you talk about the older arcs makes me so excited and happy i finally took the plunge into the series. We seem to agree on most arcs too. Foxy/Long Ring Long Land was just... it felt like filler, aside the aokiji stuff.

I remember when timeskip came around, I actually waited 2 full irl years to continue the series. That is how dedicated I was, and still am, to One Piece

the stretch from saboady to impel down to marineford to post war flashback arc is absolutely goated. Pure hype for that entire period

This is honestly such a good and respectable tier list tbh, sure i would move some picks around but really good. So happy i got into this franchise

the nami moment still gives me teary eyes when i reread it/think about it, it was such a turning point for the show, amazing the zoro moment in thriller bark was far far the best thing to happen in the arc, by itself it brings up the value of the entire arc

The crazy thing abt Wano for me tho is the sheer amount of setup that went into it. Starting from meeting kinemon in punk hazard all the way to actually going to wano is like around ~350 episodes. Finding out why the SMILE fruit was actually called wht it was called made me realize that Oda planned it like 5+ years in advance. And lets not forget that Wano had the most insane lore info ever!!!

Baratie is where you started to notice One Piece. Arlong Park is where you think that you are in a wild ride. Arabasta arc is where you know you can't stop anymore. Enies Lobby is where you started to pay attention to the lore

If you haven’t watched ‘The Breathtaking World Of One Piece’ by Strawhat V, please do. It’s such a jaw dropping video that just needs to be experienced by any and every One Piece Fan. It gives such an unexplainable feeling that words cannot convey.

I caught up to the manga 2 years ago. I’ve been reading weekly ever since and it sucks to not have anyone to talk to about one piece. This video makes me so happy!

I just got all the way caught up in the last weeks. Manga included. It’s all amazing. Best show, story, world development I’ve ever seen. It’s a masterpiece

Took about 4 months but I’m finally at episode 910. Can’t wait for the rest of Wano Kuni arc. One piece is just a giant W of a series. Enjoyed this tier list and listening to someone who appreciates it.

I can’t believe Garnt managed to convince me to finally put One Piece on my anime watchlist 😂 I was gonna wait until this had a clear end in sight, but Garnt talked so well on the best arcs, it made me excited. I stopped reading the manga around Sanji’s family background, so I’ll rewatch the anime from the beginning to recap. I’m not gonna look at the 1,000 episode mark, I’m just gonna plunge into it 😂😭

You don't have to describe Enies Lobby so detailed. You just had to say: *HASHIRIDASE*

I'm getting goosebumps remembering all of these arcs! Now I really want to re-read from the beginning again.

23:36 That punch was so hype because he punched him so hard he went from the anime BACK INTO THE MANGA for a moment 32:04 And let us not forget MOST of Dressrosa was meant to take place in a single day, from the start to taking down Doffy and his birdcage. Fujitora and Tsuru going after them at the end didn't take too long but it was also after everyone had a couple days to hide and rest, so at most that whole arc was meant to be like 3 days long

How can a single person make such a remarkable generational story, oda is so awesome. This story will be remembered for generations.

Grant be like: imma take break Also grant:

The one thing memorable about zou is that the mink tribe took "no snitching" in a whole new level

Thanks Grant.. I never got into One Piece before though I tried... hearing you say that even Now it’s still peaking up it’s own story well, sometimes I need a long story and the moment seems now.. I’m finally going to give it the due patience it seems to deserve. Hoping it somehow inspires me to go through the whole thing. Seeing you actually did really enjoy going through it all helped. I mean good reviewers have that power to encourage newcomers to get sincerely willing to get involved I suppose

Garnt : *releases One Piece arc ranking* Oda: "Wano is ending , I am going on a month long break and the final saga is starting !"

Skypiea is my favourite arc. It has a wonderful payoff as it makes it so abundantly clear how much the bloody feud between the natives of that forest and Enel’s lot matters to the tribe, and the vindication of the explorer’s legacy. I always feel a deep, warm feeling of happiness whenever I think of the moment when Luffy rings the bell. GOAT moment, I could read that arc until the end of time. I also feel that Skypiea truly captures the creative, explorative side of the manga. It’s so unique, a real oddball arc in the manga as it has very little to do with the overall narrative. It’s really self contained, and I think Oda really tried to come up with some of his most creative material in the arc.

CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER

My favorite thing about Whiskey Peak is that this is the first arch where Zoro fights without some kind of massive handicap, and he just takes out everyone by himself.

i think part of what makes wano so great is that for years no we've seen the crew split or exhausted, like they just could not catch a break with one thing after another, just finishing a hard fight for some other terrible thing to happen and demand their attention. its felt a lot like they just couldn't give it their all because they haven't even recovered from the last fight. wano had the crew reunited in one place and well rested and genuinely going into the fight fully prepared imo

For me personally Doffy is still the best One Piece villain Its also mindblowing for me how after 25 years of One Piece we still have peak arcs, not just One Piece arcs any manga arcs in general

I've been watching and reading weekly for 7 years now, feels good to see more ppl loving this series

yo this made me feel all the emotions again after watching it. think i'm gonna watch it again. liked and subbed

Every arc in one piece has a unique story to tell,a deep message and really interesting and well thought out battles I adore every arc of one piece but my personal favorites are 1)marineford 2)wano 3)dessrosa 4)arlong park 5)whole cake island

The problem with Dressrosa is really just how long the law flashback was, and how long the whole cage thing went of nor. In general the later parts of it just dragged and dragged. But the earlier parts were insane. The tournament, the dwarf people, Sabo, God Usopp, the one legged soldier and the toys in general.

Ngl Drum Island is an S for me and it is 100% because I am a Chopper fan. No backstory to date has hit me as hard as Chopper's and everytime I rewatch or read it I can't help but sob. Many backstories have been extremely close but none have topped the Chop's backstory for me so far.

The complaints about how One Piece is too long don't make sense to me since I would never want this series to be short. It's amazing and part of that is because of the time we spend with the Straw hats and in this world so I don't get how it being long can be considered a bad thing

When Kurekara(Old Dr. Lady who trained chopper After hiriluk) casually mentioned the it's not Gold Roger but Gol D. Roger I became so deeply intrigued by what Oda was creating.

I really love seeing someone talk about One Piece with such enjoyment. really great video!!

i have so many friends who are caught up to one piece, or are in wano right now. it’s always awesome discussing everything that’s happened

the impel down - marineford war arc lives rent free in my head, absolute masterpieces back to back.

Anyone who hasnt read/watched through One Piece would find the concept of it being literal PEAK FICTION to be total hyperbole or just extreme fanboyism. However, its genuinely one of the best modern stories to be told. It hasnt become one of the biggest series in all of history by sheer coincidence.

Luffy to me was always a character with moments. I don’t like or love everything he’s ever done. But when his moments do happen they do shine! 🤩

baratie is when one peice started tohave interesting, fleshed out locations Arlong Park is when one peice began havign captivating villains but also when the crew were cemented as a tight knit family that would ride or die for each other.

Choppers intro arc absolutely destroyed me emotionally, a grown ass "manly man". One Piece is a MASTER Piece

Years and years ago I was trying to become a One Piece fan. I got up to the kingdom of Alabasta arc and for whatever reason, maybe school or life or whatever I fell off. And hearing that it reached 1000 chapters and episodes or whatever just kinda made it feel intimidating to me like I’d never catch up again cause it’s been too long. But watching this and seeing how much I actually remember and how much I have missed makes me really wanna jump into this series again

Feels like such a throwback talking about all of these arcs. The last time I watched some of these old arcs was about 7 years ago. I don't really what happens in the Alabasta arc but since I've been hearing how good it was, I'll definitely go back and rewatch it.

The moment where Shanks got his arm bitten off, the time in the bar where they "humiliated" themselves stuck so much with me, I love romance dawn for that. Also the encounter with Zoro, damn, so cool!

And the animations in the Wano arc is so fucking good, I can't wait for the you know which moment to be animated, it'll be godlike.

Vivi and Momo are the same character. Vivi met the crew as soon as they entered the Grand Line, met Momo on the first island they visited in the New World. The similarities go on from there.

Drum Island is where we had the first mentioning of D clan, and Roger being a D. Also foreshadowing of Blackbeard. So it is good on its lore.

who else got teary-eyed when we know he's about to mention the "I want to live" line?

I don't think I could possibly say what my favourite arc overall is, but the most fun I had watching an arc would have to be Impel Down. Just being reintroduced to all these great characters as Luffy is making his way down the levels of the prison, only for them then to form a giant army to make their way back up... I'm also just a fan of characters who normally wouldn't do so working together. Seeing Luffy, Bon Clay, Buggy, Mr 3, Crocodile, Jimbei, and all the others working together was just so much fun.

I really like the whole east blue arc in connection to treasure, and what treasure means to all of the characters we see. for example, in orange town, Buggy sees treasure as just riches, but the mayors treasure is the town and the dogs treasure is his former owners shop. we also see that luffy's treasure is his hat. fast forward to arlong park when we learn nami's backstory and luffy gives her his hat it means so much because that is his treasure, but more importantly she is a friend, wich is luffys greatest treasure.

This is the One Piece appreciation post I needed after this week's chapter. I'm still jittering from all the feels

Amazing work as always! You are amazing Garnt. Thank you for putting so much love into your work and as a caught up one piece fan , this is a fantastic ranking.

Today I have caught up to one piece and Wano rn has ended and it’s def one of my fav arcs! I love the edo japan aesthetics and just everything about the arc was hype af. Legit needed to catch up just to watch this lol

I actually enjoyed Fish-man island. After the Marineford, I was starting to feel the team needed an arc to come together. And for me, the arc just made me realise how deep rooted the Slavery, racism and other Stuff are. And it continued to Dressrosa. Luffy challenging Big Mom. And for some reason, I got soo invested in Fisher Tiger , Shirohoshi and Queen Otohime for some reason . And I got tears in the chapter with Fisher Tiger and Koala and it hit soo hard.

This is definitely the best rank I have seen. Super accurate ranking. Especially with sabaody. Feel like people forget how insane that ark was. My favorite moment in the entire show is Luffy’s breakdown and realizing he wasn’t strong enough to protect his friends. Hit hard

I think this the first time Garnt has ever made a dedicated one piece video...and I'm HERE FOR ALL OF IT

I'm currently rewatching One Piece with my mum and brother, as they have not seen it. We are halfway through the Alabasta Arc and my mum's favourite arc is Drum Kingdom so far because we got to see a dream come to fruition. I think the *Spoiler* cherry blossom dust is one of the 7 wonders of the Piece world. I know it was temporary but it was gorgeous.

Gigguk thank you for reminding me of how amazing one piece is. I think i will go and rewatch all of them

I absolutely love one piece, it actually was an anime that helped with my depression, I used it to take my mind off of stuff that was going on in life back when punk hazards was airing. Getting caught up back then was the best feeling ever.

I may not remember every specific scenes, but i still remember the feelings the episodes gave me

I will still always maintain that my favorite moment in all of one piece is when zoro goes up to mihawk and bows to him and tells him "train me so that I can beat you" then mihawk says how can I train someone who can't beat the apes and he says he did is so powerful it hits me harder than "nothing at all" or "I will never lose again" or even "I wanna live" is because it shows that without their friendship, without their found family, they don't know what they'll be so they will risk everything even what they hold most dear to them (that case Zoro's honor) to help another member of the crew. Obviously that made zoro my absolute favorite character in the story but it's more than that. A long time ago, a reader asked oda why luffy doesn't kill and oda said is basically because he wants to reuse characters and that luffy doesn't kill because in his mind, luffy doesn't have to. In one piece, you don't die when you die, you die when you lose your dream, you die when forgotten. Zoro and all the rest of the crew are willing to sacrifice their dreams for luffy so he can achieve theirs and it's implied luffy would do the same for them. One piece is a fun manga that the only person who is having more fun than the crew or audience is oda himself. I'm glad you were willing to take the time and read one piece and judge for yourself garnt, as someone who has watched since along park, it mean a lot that you were willing to make the commitment to giving it a try. I'd also like to thank whoever read this whole comment.

27:59 Nahh i thought u talkin about " THE ONE PIECEEEE........ THE ONE PIECE IS REALLLL"

Garnt: "I'm taking a break." Also Garnt: *"Imma rank One Piece arcs."*

I just currently finished dressrosa arc and I watched all of it in 6 months. yes, that took me a while but real life responsibilities exist. It's a Rollercoaster of emotions and I love it

When i saw the squad at 17:10 i just naturally started humming the theme song, that moment is too perfect

4:52 drum island had some of the biggest lore drops. Ace, blackbeard, whitebeard where, abd maybe, haki were first mentioned in this arc.

Taking a break... from Gigguk.

In terms of the anime especially for the wano ark they have really upgraded the animation especially you could really tell how much love went into it when luffy fights Kaido

Ik it’s not in the manga but the walk to arlong park in the anime was soooooo good gave mad chills

I also love the Zoro moment in thriller bark I knew you were going to mention it and i seriously respect it

I remember watching the Arlong Park arc and that episode where Nami pleads to Luffy to help her was SUPER sad to see, but then when he screams out that he was going to help her, it was equally emotional and cathartic. I was already interested in One Piece up til that point, but that episode was the one that sold me on the series.

I haven’t seen alabasta since I was in elementary school, and I still remember so much of it. Truly one of the best arcs and it was so early on in the story too

Drum arc was also the first arc to hint and mention Blackbeard and his crew. Rayleigh actually had a cameo on Buggy's flashback back in Orange Town but yeah he was properly introduced in Sabaody.

until i found this video, i never thought i'd find somebody that i'd completely agree with when discussing arcs. i don't know how to explain and why i was so happy while watching this video, because it was like this man just took the words out of my mouth.

We got some friends to start One Piece about 3 years ago. Then we went on a trip to Tokyo with them before they reached Marineford / time skip. We had to physically shield them from Ace spoilers basically everywhere. One of my favourite moments was them finishing the last episodes of Marineford just before we entered "One Piece Tower" :) It was freaking amazing

You know I just caught up to the manga late-april and yet after the recent finish to the Luffy vs. Kaido fight, I'm already feeling nostalgic enough to want to re-read the entire thing. So much so in fact, that I'm going to go through with it, not just because it means I can consume more One Piece.

Fishman island had the best moment in the entire series for me, Jinbe donating blood to Luffy, as well as my favourite character Otohime. Both of these easily put Fishman island in A tier for me, but yeah, it did have some issues with pacing, bad villains (though thematically correct, Oda could've made them a lot more lethal), as well as coming off the hype of Marineford. However, I still think Jinbe donating blood to Luffy was THE most well constructed and beautiful moment in the entire series, and over a decade later I just still can't get over how good it was. Yes, it's been over a decade now since the anime finished with fishman island. Not to mention how Otohime is THE best example in the story of just a thoroughly good character. Like Lawful Good, if there ever was one. She fought day in and day out for what she believed in without any hatred. She died telling her family to not hate the humans, and her PURE GOODNESS ALONE turned one of the most vile pieces of absolute garbage on the planet into a rather respectable person that would later stand up for Shirahoshi being attacked by Charlos. Truly S tier character and I miss her so much.

whitebeards death was so sad cuz if u think about it he was dreaming for just a family to have more than the most sacred treasure or anthing and when he had a large crew going he had finally made his own family. and especially hte fact they just killed him off so fast i wish we could've seen him more instead of only like one arc.
