You shouldn't think of One Piece as a commitment. That makes it sound like work. It's not. It's an experience. One Piece is more like a roller coaster. You don't have to commit to a roller coaster do you? of course not. You just have to enjoy the ride. Theres no hurry to get to the end. You don't need to worry about catching up. Just go at your own pace. Enjoy the journey. Experience watching Luffy grow from a no name inexperienced Pirate to a world class renowned legendary Pirate making his mark on the great Pirate Era. Watch him assemble his crew, go on adventures, save entire countries, grow as a leader and a captain, become famous, watch lose, watch him fail, watch him crumble, watch him give up on his dream and then find the spirit to pursue it again. This isn't just some piece of media you consume and move on from. This is a life changing epic journey that will stay with you long after you've caught up. So come watch these inspiring characters chase their impossible dreams to the end of the sea with us.

Fun fact for the openings: a lot of the random images you see of the crew on random Islands (like the turtle in opening 12) are animated cover pages at the start of specific chapters from the manga! They have no relevancy towards the story, but its awesome seeing them animated and used for something!

Since becoming a one piece fan I have only one regret and one fear. Currently caught up with the anime Regret: that I didn’t start sooner years ago Fear: that I’ll die before it’s done

The first OP is iconic. So much so that they brought it back three times. Once with the cast singing it (op7), once as a remix (op10), and with new animation (op24). It is THE one piece song, WE ARE!

One Piece is like Lord of The Rings and Middle Earth. Every small details are connected from episode 1 to episode 1000. Sometimes even hardcore fans are mind blown on how the author connects every story line, plot, characters and concepts together across 20+ years of publications.

Opening 7 “We are” is sung by the cast.. Opening 10 is the “We Are” 10 year anniversary remix

As a girl who started enjoying One Piece in 10 years old,I always glad to see a new friend make this journey

Dude. Do yourself a favor, and dive into One Piece. I was like many: "it's too long"... now I wish I had a few more hundred episodes to binge. 10/10 Story

when he said corazons a villain my heart broke 😭

Yes the Red Haired man is a role model for Luffy. It's his idol. Someone he aspires to be like.

There was actually a special remake of opening 1 for episode 1000 that came out about three weeks ago

Couldn't be more right about the first op being nastalgic for fans. The 1000th ep did something special with it. Was great

The anime came out in 1999 and is still going. Opening 7 is sung by the voice actors of the main cast it was the anime’s 10 year anniversary so last time the viewers heard opening 1 was 10 years ago at the time

“There’s that red hair guy again, I wonder what his relevance is?” *someone fully caught up to the manga*: Same

It doenst matter who is the best girl Nami and Robin is like 2 different Moms Robin is like the western mom who supports you whatever you do Nami is like the Asian mom who beats you if you are annoying and made mistakes

Bro trust me, a year or two ago I told myself I’d never watch one piece because it’s way too long but one day last December I started reading the manga- to chapter 100 about and started the anime soon after…. Let me tell you I was addicted! My tips are take as many breaks as you need because when you have time, you will be binging before you know it! I’m currently up to date it’s so worth it dawg

A lot of people feel daunted when having to watch One Piece because of the countless episodes, but honestly, nobody is saying you have to watch everything at once. You can just stop watching when you get tired of it, and continue some other time. Be it weeks, months or years. You're not forced to watch 1000 episodes in one sitting lol. I've personally taken countless breaks from One Piece, some were years long.

I really like the way you did this by cutting up between every five or so openings to talk about your current feelings on the openings.

Yeah the first opening "We Are!" Is the anthem for One Piece fans lol. I've seen so many videos of fans gathering, and it doesn't matter where they are from or what language they actually speak, everyone sings along to this Japanese song lol.

I do believe all or almost all of the watchers in the series including me cried at Opening 13.

“Completely blind reaction, I know nothing!” Every 5 seconds: “oh I recognize that!”

For opening 7, it's the same as the 1st opening but it's sung by the cast instead of the original singer. For opening 10, it's a remix/cover by Korean Pop group DBSK or as they're known in Japan, Tohoshinki

I started watching OP when I was 11 and am now 22. Needless to say, it's one of the most long lasting figures in my life, literally. It was something to look forward to, something that kept me going. Now I greatly fear not knowing how it ends.

One piece storyline can't be matched it's not a commitment it's a journey a great journey one piece has weird character designs yes but why it's so unique theirs different race In this universe basically anything can exist in this huge universe It covers alot of IRL troubles and you can definitely be attached to the straw hats !!

i love seeing ppl react to the ops cuz they think it starts to get serious /later on/ when in reality theres fights and battles right from ep 1 onwards

as someone who started watching in January and is at Whole Cake island, one piece isnt a commitment, its a privilege

I love when he calls Shanks a brother lmao.

the "villain looking person" when he saw corazon hits really hard man

5:45 You are wrong, Robin is the best girl. Also about opening 7 it's exactly the same as the first except it's sang by the voiceactors.

It's okay, you didn't missed count the episodes. But there is one you missed, the recently 1000 episode opening special. BTW, the 7th opening is the same as the 1st visually but it was sang by all 6 voice actor themselves as an anniversary special. Another version with 9 crew singing was made as well but you'll have to search the KZfaq for it. The last bit is for the animated Romance Dawn, it's from the pilot chapter, the prototype for the series One Piece. There's several more prototype manga but this one starts it all.

Nami isn't just the best girl of the series, she's the best girl of all of shounen manga. She's a Queen.

Opening 7 was from I believe the 5th anniversary of One Piece, and it was a remake of opening 1 but sung by the strawhats Opening 10 is a remix of opening 1 for the 10th(maybe) anniversary of the anime

Kazuzo seing Corazon : " a villain looking person there "

Some people stopped watching on just 3 or 10 episodes due to the fact that the designs and animation look goofy and cartoonish. If you go past that that goofiness and cartoonish designs and take a good look at the bigger picture: the story,..... you will be amazed on how good this series actually is.

For opening 7 the straw hats (luffy’s pirate crew) were singing the opening

42:20 " Yeah , Villain looking guy "

I love when people ask how Luffy gets his scar. And I'm just like welp, you kinda gotta get through 480 episodes to find out lol

Being caught up to the anime or manga is like waiting weekly for the worlds best cake

There is also a 24th opening but it is just a remake specifically just for the 1000th episode

Thanks for the good reaction. I personally like these opening songs a lot, especially the lyrics.

Also Nami is objectively Best Girl. Anything else is a lie.

"A giant whale tree ?" It is nothing compared of where this tree is. Oda has an incredible imagination.😁

The two ops you really like (14, 20) are both from Amuro Namie. She is one of the most successful singers in modern Japan.

The goldfish memory of this guy going hard

I am so, so happy you noticed the timeskip! I always die a little inside when reactors don't notice... 😂

I love pirate stuff but I've never thought I'll watch one piece but then I just wanted to watch 1 or 2 episode just to see what its like and then here IAM IN 1000+ mannn! This is really best anime. One piece describes storyline beautifully and is talks about RACISM, FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY, GENDER EQUALITY and HOW WORLD GOVERNMENT CAN BE THE ENEMY AND CRIMINAL ONE'S WOULD BE THE SIDE OF THE SOCIETY. And all these are related to every episode and the story baseline. Bro its a great ANIME worth watching. ❤️

that red haired guy is still a mystery and he seldoms make an appearance but when he does it's always something major happening in the story.

15:01 That was the 7th anniversary opening they did. They had the voice actors of the main cast sing the first opening. It’s the same with the 10th opening as well

One Piece isnt a commitment my dude, it's an Adventure! and if there was only one Anime that you could commit to watching all the episodes and movies to, it should be this one. this Anime will make you laugh, make you cry and most of all get you invested into this huge world and it's diverse characters. also i can answer some questions that are answered very early in the Anime without spoiling too much; 1. the Red Haired guy is Shanks, you could say that he's a father figure, as Luffy has looked up to him a long time. 2. not everyone has powers, some have Devil Fruits in them, they grant unique powers but as a trade off you can never swim again, also being submerged in sea water drains your power, like Superman's Kryptonite weakness. 3. as for Luffy's crew, some have Devil Fruit powers and some dont, at first in fact he's the only one that does, but as you seen they've gotten new crewmates over time. anyways that's all i'm spoiling, you'll have to watch it to get the rest, and trust me you'll want to watch it, again it's more than worth it! XD

The last one showed is an Opening cinematic of a game called One Piece; Opening Dawn. They tried to pull a quickie

fun fact : opening 14 and opening 20 are sung by the same singer and both are banger definitely 2 of my favorite

I put off watching One Piece for years, I really thought I’d enjoy it but it just seemed like such a big task. Eventually, I just stopped avoiding it, and dove straight in. I realized that it’s no different than when I started another show, and it got renewed for more and more seasons, but with One Piece, you just don’t have to wait for those new seasons! (Until you catch up, of course) Now I’m at the start of Wano, 932 episodes in and I’m dreading the moment where I’ll have no more episodes to binge. It’s a beautiful series, I started growing up with it, and now I wish it had a thousand more episodes.

op7 is just op1 but with the straw hats as the voice actors

I know I’m 6 months late but that zebrahead reference blew my damn mind man. I haven’t found a single person in my entire life who also listened to them.

One Piece is EPIC. I’m so mad at myself for not watching years ago. Please react to the series. I’d love to follow your journey.

the red haired guy is like a hero to luffy, he inspired luffy to become a pirate edit: straw hat

Decades later they still add new members, and lots of one arc or two members, its a big cast.

Echoing some of the other comments, I'd like to say that if you start One Piece, don't worry about catching up. Just work through the story at a pace that's comfortable for you. There's so much depth to this world, so much thought, so many details. Just absorb them at your own pace, and avoid spoilers by not searching for anything one piece related online. That will give you the most enjoyable experience.

I love that you're enjoying the vibe of the STRAW HAT Pirates

If One Piece is a MOBA Game: Luffy is definitely a short-ranged fighter, Zoro is a mid-range assassin, Sanji is a close combat fighter, Usopp is a long-range marksman, Nami is an AOE long-range mage, Chopper is short-range fighter/tank, Robin is a long-range support, Franky is a mid-range fighter tank, Brook is a mid-range assassin, and Jimbei is short-range fighter/tank.

these ops really fit the adventure vibes of the show

I'm assuming someone has already said this, but just in case; I understand your confusion with the repetition of the first opening but to clear things out: -That opening happened when the manga turned 10 (I think) -"We are!" the song from that opening, is kind of like "THE" One Piece song, different renditions of it sound throughout the whole series in different moments, it's kind of the strawhat's hymn at this point -In this version the song's sung by the main cast, so it's as if the characters were the ones singing the opening. Also the alternate version of the song that comes later happened when the anime turned 10 years old. They called the guy who made the first and asked him to remix it (he's done three more openings since)

and it's not surprising that one piece sometimes feels like a dragon ball, because one piece is the direct heir of dragon ball, even the studio that makes anime is the same and most importantly, I'm seu luffy from one piece is seu kurilina from dragon ball plus only one piece has an official crossover with dragon ball if you're interested, just find a special release one piece of toriko and dragon ball

Some of the crew have powers that came from eating a devil fruit, like Luffy who ate the Gomu Gomu no mi or rubber fruit and now his body is like rubber. The trade off for eating a devil fruit means you can never swim again. Also people get powers from training ridiculously hard like Zoro and Sanji, or from body modifications like Franky who is a cyborg. The redhead guy is Shanks and he is very very important in the pirate world.

not sure if anyone has mentioned it but op 14 and 20 are by the same singer and both songs are such a bop (14 definitely brings forth tons of emotions for me until now). One piece is all about the journey so take your time with this anime if you ever get into it. It’s never a commitment for one piece once a certain moment hits you. “The anime is too long” is such a bad reason, especially when a lot of those ppl who says it watches naruto to boruto 😂 Also, best GIRLS in OP only, why pick just one when you can have whole harem

Yes finally a new one piece openings reaction!

6:23 Yeah It would it be cool if they have a tree of devil fruits inside their ship

he vibed with both OP 14 and 20. Another W for Namie Amuro.

53:20 that's a bonus, because romance dawn is the prototype for one piece

Over 1000 chapters so far and over 850 relevant characters to the plot.... It is absolutly insane, but it got better and better over the years. It is also the 3rd best "comicbook" series in exsistence, when it comes to selling copies of the manga itself. Also: Nami is great, but Nico Robin is best girl here :>

The OP experience is a rollercoaster. Of both action and emotion (emphasis on the emotion). I’ll admit I first watched one piece in 2019 I believe, and it was my brother who got me to watch it. And like many who were first introduced to the series, I was a bit skeptical considering the episode count. However the story and especially the characters really began to grow on me, and was really into the show by the arc that introduced Sanji. And then I watched arlong park, which was the arc where I realized I was gonna like this show, tackling a lot of serious subjects and showing us how cruel the villains in this world can be. Afterwards I got to the alabasta saga (reverse mountain, little garden, drum kingdom, alabasta) and I really got invested in the characters along with their struggles and goals. And then came water 7 and enies lobby, which I’m pretty sure Enies lobby was the first time I actually cried, with literal tears streaking down my face, add on the ending of thriller bark (which is probably the weakest arc in one piece) and was basically in love with the show. Then came the marine ford saga (sabaody archipelago, Amazon lily, impel down, marine ford, post marine ford) where I got to see what true overwhelming despair looks like, I will not say anything else about that saga. Afterwards, we get to the start of the emperor/wano saga (punk hazard, dressrosa, zoa, whole cake island, wano) where I got to see one piece at its absolute best. There’s nothing more I can add that wouldn’t spoil the story. It’s just amazing to watch a show like this. Another cool thing about this show is the overarching theme of freedom vs justice as show between pirates (freedom) and the marines (justice). And also don’t worry about catching up to the current chapter. Believe it’s not all it’s cracked to be. Sure it’s a milestone, but once you get there, you’re just patiently and painfully waiting for the next chapter to come out. This show honestly was ahead of its time, and so I’m also here to both congratulate the crew members who’ve been with us since day one, to honor the crew mates who fit off the ship before the adventure was over, and to welcome those who are just now joining us on this legendary adventure. Welcome aboard

If you like the OPs, you'll love the series even more. I didn't like the OPs before I watched the series. I couldn't even sit through all 23 but after watching the series now it has context and I watch the OPs over and over again. This series has got me doing stuff I don't normally do with other anime like reading the manga, buying plushies and following One Piece content creators.

People might have told you already but opening 7 is the same song as opening 1 but sung by the voice actors from the crew

I don’t see anyone else saying it so I’ll explain. The 10th opening is basically a remix of opening 1 sung by a different singer with new visuals. Opening 7 is opening 1 sung by the voice actors of the Straw Hat pirates. For episode 1000 they also did a remaster of opening 1 with the new character designs for the Straw Hats in the latest arc.

I never though ace looked old enough to be luffy's dad, but i mean, close enough

"It's a giant cake island. That's where I want to be. Or is it? Is that not a cool place to be?" Me: Damn, you caught on fast. I would definitely not recommend vacationing there... 😬

My soul left my body when he said those mikan trees were devil fruits

oh yeah that “last opening” isn’t actually an opening, i don’t know why the dude who posted the original video added it

Might sound long but when u love the show and the characters u wish it would never end

In One Piece,there is no best girl.But if i have to chose than Robin is the best girl for me.She is the most important character for Luffy to become Pirate King.

You know how you'll finish a series and think "Aww, I'm done. I wish there was more..."? One Piece simply doesn't have that problem for a long while. Don't think of it as "oh god, it's such a long series to get into" rather think of it as "hey, there's a ton of this series I can enjoy if I end up liking it."

Could you maybe react to “the appeal of One Piece “ or “why you should read/watch One Piece “ by Supereyepatchwolf ? 🥺

5:45 Nami is up there, but the best girl that most people agree on is Robin. She is the one with the dark hair

man, I hope that u started watching one piece, in 2017 I was like bruh its too long im soo bussy, but when I started just taked me few episodes to become and one piece addict. and when I reached the last episode I was like what can I do with mi life now, I cant wait 1 week to see 1 episode. I need more

manga one piece has been going on since 1997 and anime 1999, but initially the creator wanted to finish the story in 4-5 years, but because of the wild popularity had to expand the universe, but many plots and characters were created in advance so there can't be references to such works as Naruto and bleach, the same old man with a white mustache was still shown to us in the anime 2002-2003, so he can't be a reference to commander Yamamoto from bleach

you missed opening 24 (special of episode 1000) and on January 9th (if I'm not mistaken) opening 25 will be released

The smile fruit makes you laugh at a disturbing way

Before I was scared to start one piece , and now I don't want it to end.

I was not prepared I only brought 1 beverage

Ive never noticed that 'We Are!' Was used a couple if times. Havent watched it a while but im guessing they redo it everytime theres a new chapter in the strawhat adventures?

Ace, Luffy, and Sabo swore to be each others brothers at a young age. Ace is Gol D. Roger's(previous King of the Pirates) son. Luffy is the son of Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary army, and the grandson of Garp, the strongest person in the Navy. Sabo had some random rich parents I think but they were all raised by Garp. Luffy didn't know he had a dad until later in the series but "Red Hair" Shanks is one of the strongest pirates in the world that Luffy looks up to. Luffy ate a devil fruit that Shanks worked really hard to get because he was stress eating. Shanks entrusted the Straw hat to Luffy that was once entrusted to him by Gol D. Roger. Shanks gave Luffy the straw hat because he believes that Luffy will someday surpass him and become the King of the Pirates.

Nami best girl for me. Definitely both the only one that can keep luffy in check and at the same time lead him to his dream. Very important Nakama just not for combat.

21:26 In 1077 episodes of the anime there are over 1174 named characters.

Honestly, there's a lot of debate on who's best girl in One Piece. Like, a lot. But Nami does probably get the most votes since she's the main girl in the show. But there's debate over best anything in One Piece. Strongest, best devil fruit, best crew, etc.

ONE PIECE IS THE BEST ANIME OF ALL TIME

The spoken intro either comes before the opening or right after.

#1 anime/manga for a reason. It's not long because they are draging the show and the story isn't going anywhere. It's long because the author loves writing about this story so much he decided to take his time to write and flush out the world of this amazing story, in result the world building is incredibly creative and unique.

6:07 "What's the trees?" Me: 😭

"Giant cake island. That's where I want to be... or is it?" Just nailed the entire premise of the island there.

Nami is best Girl you are right! Let's eat some ice cream
