Helmeppo is definitely the one that surprised me the most. Never liked the character in the manga but he's fantastic in the live action.

Mihawk with the best line in the series so far “I don’t hunt rabbits with a cannon”

I am really happy that Jeff ward (Buggy) gets the praise and recognition he deserves, he was amazing in Agents of shield.

Also fun fact: Mihawk’s actor changed his pfp on twitter to a drawing of Mihawk painting his sword black during the build up to the release date of the Live Action

I feel ALL the kid actors did their parts extraordinarily well! Especially Sanji's, he didn't miss what made Sanji Sanji, and his portrayal of a starving, dehydrated, borderline insane kid was outstanding. Kudos to all the kid actors for doing a superb job.

Zeff is basically buff one legged Gordon Ramsey and I'm here for it

I think they nailed 90%+ of the cast. And the ones that they didn't aren't really that big deals in the grand scheme. I mean, when they first announced that they were doing a live action, who would've thought that the cast would be some overwhelmingly good that we'd be complaining that they didn't quite nail Nojiko or Beckman.

Wild that every actor in the straw hats are in their late 20s (Emily Rudd is already 30), meanwhile Iñaki just turned 20. The one zoomer kid in a group of millenials, that explains everything when you see how they interact in their interviews lol. People think Iñaki is putting on the Luffy act, but no, it's really because he's just a kid lol.

You hit the nail on the head about Shanks and Nami in the trailer. So much better once you see the whole thing.

Going in, I knew I was going to like live action Buggy, but what I didn't expect was for Helmeppo to actually be one of my favorite portrayals of the lot. A live action adaption doesn't necessarily need to translate all of the super exaggerated faces and reactions to real life, but seeing it actually done well like with Helmeppo is just very nice.

I’m really glad Jeff ward (buggy the clown ) is getting the love he deserves, I’ve been a fan of him since season 5 agents of shield and glad he’s coming up

Jack really loves these rankings

YES, I literally felt the exact same way about Kaya, I felt like maybe she even looked different than she did in the anime and that maybe she was acting different too. But then I re-watched the anime and realized that Kaya was done very well. I think it’s definitely because we haven’t watched the beginning of the anime in a long time.

My problem with Morgan isn't the casting so much as the fact he didn't do anything wrong. Like he doesn't abuse his men, or force them to massage his ego with absurd decorations, or promote violence against little girls with rice balls, all he does is abuse Helmeppo a bit, and at the time Helmeppo deserves it. So why is he literally tied to a cross by Garp? It didn't make a lot of sense.

Ritchie was referenced by Buggy when he asked Moji why there isnt a dancing lion.

Kudos to the South African actors killing it in one Piece from Morgan, Kaya, Helmeppo, Kuro, Dawn Krieg, The Black Cats, Dracule Mihawk, and RIP Merry!

I heard somewhere that many of the scenes in the live action that we think are original are present in the manga as some sort of extras, but are not there in the anime. Also, I am surprised by the fact that both Zeff and Mihawk preached to Garp that a new era was coming and that Luffy was something special and they wanted to see what he could do in the future.

It is so nice so many characters easly got into Good, Very Strong and Perfect Casting. It shows how much they work / care on One Piece. If we do it for Wither most of characters would be in bottom part of table.

Christian Convery plays young Sanji, but he also stars as Gus in Sweet Tooth and is a phenomenal actor, so was very confident he would kill it when I found out he was cast and he did not disappoint! Also, side note: Zeff was played by Craig Fairbrass who was in the British Soap Opera, Eastenders in the late 90's early 2000's, so I wasn't sure what to expect seeing as I've only every seen him as a London Hardman, but he was absolutely perfect. His on screen chemistry between both Christian and Taz (Skylar who played present day Sanji) felt so real. The Baratie arc is a favourite of mine and Sanji is my favourite Strawhat (I used to do Tae Kwon Do which is a leg heavy M.A. and I was a chef sooooo...) and they all did such a good job of telling that story. Extra Credit to Taz for learning Kickboxing and how to cook Gourmet food for the role. He became an instant new obsession of mine 😂

Him changing dragon ball evolution to “ben beckman” actually got me wheezing 😂

19:52 Fun fact: Jacob, the actor of Ussop, confirmed that part was a mistake and he shouldn’t have been under the table, but he was because, you can’t see it, but he dropped something and had to get it back.

I like how the chat was just playing smash or pass the whole time 😂

bellemere went out like a champ in the anime. I wish they could have recreated the scene of her lighting her cigarette before she shoves a gun in arlongs mouth.

Jack: gives in-depth analysis of the characters. Chat: SMASH! Absolute mongrels

This is such an epic video wohoo!!

The Chat Saying Smash or Pass is hilarious 😂

Roger nailed it in that little fraction of time and I am upset that you didn't post your reaction to the show

A pet peeve of Ussop's fight is the ketchup. I'm unreasonably pissed off by it. It feels like it was just thrown in for it being there. He plays dead and one second later he screams at Chew, making it meaningless. There's no moment of hesitation or using it for a sneak attack. It feels like it could be cut out and nothing would change. But the rest of the series is prety good, this just something that I find supremely annoying.

Love how the chat was still playing smash or pass😂

I didn't like what they did to Nojiko. In the Manga, she was such a chill supportive sister willing to take action against Arlong. The only reason she got her tattoos was out of solidarity with nami, yet in the LA they took all her character traits and made her super unsympathatic. On the other Hand, Bo D. gard was nailed the most.

Kuina got the shaft the same way she got the stairs.

Bro your description just made me love this show 1,000 times more than I already did before anime and live action

I never was a big fan of One Piece, it just never caught my curiosity and didn't hook me when I initially tried it, BUT BOY OH BOY was the live adaptation really good! I knew a bunch of the story bits/spoilers from friends who like to talk about the contents of episodes, so I knew most of the story up to Arlong Park, and Koby/Garp stuff, and I think the way they handled the marines, Koby, Helmeppo and Garp was drastically better, and my friends that love the show pretty much all loved it too. Buggy and Mihawk (edit- oh, and Garp and Zeff) are tied for #1 for favorite portrayals, followed closely by all of the Strawhat crew and Shanks. I think they all did very well where there wasn't really anyone that I heavily disliked. ALSO I love that they shot so much of the show practically and on site at Cape Town South Africa for that crystal clear water, built the sets including the boats, and used makeup to make the characters look the way they do instead of relying on CGI too much. Like obviously they used CG, but it was sparingly enough where the world felt lived in and real! All in all, I'm excited for season 2, hope they keep going strong, and while I wait, I've been watching One Piece from the beginning in a new light :)

I've watched the entire live action with Japanese dub, because why not, right? And since they kept the original voice actors for the characters from the anime - the delivery of the lines was perfect. Which means the only thing I could complain about would be actual acting. And there is nothing there to complain about, really... For a lot of these characters they were accepted quickly by the community when the anime was in its infancy because of the voice actors pouring their souls into molding these characters to perfection. It shows they can deliver any line as their characters effortlessly. And the live action cast obviously put a lot of hours into mannerisms and little quirky actions that can easily go over the heads of the new viewers but are top level details for the hardcore fans of 25 years. As for the ranking itself - I'm pretty much on the exact same page as Jack with the cast, few could've been done better with more screen time or meaningful interactions with other characters, but some of them will probably get that chance later if the show hits it off with more amazing seasons.

Zepher, yes he did not have many lines. But it washow he presented himself. He cared about Sanji but knew Sanji would waste his talents there. He understood Garp, two old rivals now friends to a degree. He nailed the cranky forward appearance and softness when Sanji left. You can make a whole character study how to make a character work as well as that actor did Zepher. He just 100% that role and the costume department nailed his look

I agree. Among the strawhats Zoro is on the very least for me which is odd because everyone talks about him (definitely being a handsome asian man there's just no way twitter won't be on their knees) and I feel like you watered down your comments about him HAHA. But yeah, he did good but I feel like there could've been another perfect Zoro out there somewhere. And the writing... where is his goofy side?? I miss that. His comeback remarks feel more like on the edgy side and not Zoro being zoro

2:54 That’s so true, I felt the same way when I watched that scene. In the anime, her death was so much darker. In the live action she just died, that’s all.

I laughed so hard abkut your comment on Jango moonwalking in the mansion randomly. 😂

Great ranking!!!

Dude, I love the way Zeff's braided mustache move as he speaks.

I just love how Ben Beckman got his own category. 😂

I love the fact that you fanboy mode so hard on Sanji's Abs 😅😍

Ben Beckmann was _not_ the actor's fault. It was that his hair and make-up sort of made him feel like an afterthought. Like they said, "We got Lucky Roux and Yassop in there but we need to have Ben Beckmann." "Uh... Let's put him here." Garp was perfect. Garp's immaturity would not translate to live action. They were able to keep the essence of Garp without and still have you buy into him being a Marine Vice-Admiral and someone who deserves that rank. I would say the only difference is that this Garp kind of uses that "Hero of the Marines" moniker whereas the manga/anime one couldn't care less about it. Genzo was a miss for me because they cut out his two big scenes, telling Nami the village knew what she was doing the whole time and making Luffy promise that Nami would come home safely. Captain Morgan was not that bad of a captain in the Live-Action, IMO. Yes, he was tough and not the brightest but the one in the manga was way worse. Manga Morgan was actively killing his own men. Usopp was also a miss but that's not Jacob's fault. Syrup Village cut out a lot of Usopp's characterization. Shame on you for not putting Bogards in this video! lol

He got me with the thumbnail cause I think that the buggy casting was great

I’m so happy you decided to put Helmeppo and Koby where they belong bc I was gonna riot. Also, I think Zoro should’ve ranked higher and Mihawk is literally the best anime to live action character adaptation I’ve ever seen, right with Iñaki as Luffy.

That was a FIRE list.

I actually met the actor of ussop at convention center in Indianapolis and I got a sneak peak and I might be in the next season 😁 I can’t say which character I’m being because it will give away the whole next season 😅

LETSGOOOO!

Mackenyu Zoro is my favorite ,he has a strong presence. Inaki Luffy is 2nd, he is so charming. Nami/ Emily third.

Fun fact: When oda seen inaki he laughed and said thats definitely Luffy in real life

If we get to season 3 and we don’t see Chopper D. Plug I might just cry myself to sleep after binging it, but I might also cry myself to sleep when I do see him. Only difference is one is happy, one is sad.

It’s going to be interesting what kind of actress they get for Robin

Its stupid they didnt have jango because then it explains to live action viewers that axe hand morgan was actually hypnotized and not just a liar

During that scene where shanks was staring at the monster and said get lost he was actually using conquerors hockey

you are so real about Sanji, I started SHIVERING the second I saw him on screen

Your ranking of the strawhat casting is literally the reverse of mines 😂

I'm really excited for the upcoming season

They hinted at Richie. When Mohji was holding the sign up Buggy scolded him saying something like somebody forgot to bring their lion.

Did you see Crocodile? Do you think Jango could hypnotize a devil fruit user into being able to swim?

Big W video

Smoker will take the place of Garp as the through-line marine threat in S2 thats why they teased him lol

Can you give us a link to that Tier List?

Your thumbnail is evil, I really thought you were gonna put Buggy in F/beckman tier. Honestly the list his perfect

I think they did an absolutely great job with the amount of episodes they had. Nothing was drawn out and every episode really slaps. So, even though some of the characters may have been a slight miss, I think with the time constraints everything was awesome. I wouldn't change anything. I will say, Sanji was one of my favorite characters. That actor is fantastic

Not having the denden mushi in this tier list is a travesty. Those were so perfectly cursed.

NGL this is the best anime live action and they did Buggy PERFECT 🤩 IT COMPLETELY CAPTURES BUGGYS PERSONALITY SO GOOD 🔥🔥🔥

On Nami: Wait….. That’s a wig? I just thought she got a temporary dye or something.

helmeppo was the best by far, portrayed perfectly

Helmeppo was perfect for me because of the way the actor was nailing the laughing

I need to rewatch it honestly. But season 2 yes.

They did such a good job casting these actors especially buggy and mihawk

Glazing was hilarious

I realized while watching the mr 3.5 joke with mr 7 because he was cut in half😂😂😂

PLEASE UPLOAD MORE LIVE ACTION REACTIONS

not the entire chat playing Smash or Pass in the Chat during the entire video

Hey Jack i wanted to know if u are going to do a pre time-skip arcs tierlist, i think it would be so cool. Btw, i love ur reactions and keep doing what you do because you are simple the best doing it, xoxo❤

Out of all the removed characters, I despise them for excluding onion, pepper, and carrot

Benn Beckman is on a whole another level ...

I will say, garp, helmeppo and Koby and their story seems to be from the chapter cover panels of the manga

The fact the actor for Garp is actually Welsh

15:34 personally I think the trailer did Shanks, Nami, and Sanji dirty.

They violated Ben Beckman 💀

Jack I have a question... why does your green screen always have Krillin getting killed??😂😅

glad we all agree on beckmanns casting LMAOOOO

LMAO JACK REALLY NAILED THAT LINE AT 19:26 😂😂😂

YESS BILLY I see you with the dance moves !!!!

I think the actor who plays jacob from twilight could've made a great luffy when he was younger

The rise of Helmeppo and Bogard stocks…!!! CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER???

why are their laughing Travis WIllinghams in his chat? can you use emotes from one Twitch channel in other ones?

Buggy went from a goofy guy to a serial killer

Older viewer. Have been watching anime on and off for at least 30 years, but never got into one piece (side note I have lived in Japan for short periods). Have been massively depressed by hollywood offerings of late, but One Piece blew my mind. I do think Sanji's back story was the most well done and compelling (Nami's probably second). It was good to see strong male characters with flaws and female characters with flaws who overcome those flaws (Nami's arc was amazing). As a person new to the One Piece series my biggest main cast issue was Usopp. It could be that i'm just not used to his character, but the acting seemed very weak for his first few episodes (like he hadn't figured out the character yet), and then got stronger near 7 & 8 (but that may be because I liked the character more?)

I'd say Makino is the only other one that deserves a Ben Beckman tier.

I would prefer if they stuck to the way he died in the anime. Where ussop threw the alcohol He caught it and then he shot the fire star. It shows ussops quick thinking and strategic mind.

i think i read in the manga/sbs saying klahador's name prounce kurahador correct me if im wrong

The only mistake they missed in the live action is when luffy encounters koby (in the anime) He hits him Punches him Slaps him Any type of hitting works But in the liveaction(as far as i remember) he doesent hit him a single time.

ben beckman chilling alone in ben beckman tier

i feel like the series are gonna be like stranger things like everyone grows up each seasons

did one piece copy it or did one piece buy rights to it or did 5050 make this song for them?

You should rank all the opening and ending soundtracks

Yeah we need more Bogard please GodOda give us more of him one panel of him just drinking his favorite coffee will suffice please 🙏
