My One Piece episode reactions are now available over on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/benbenreacts/collections 🙂

When he saw Lucy and said "he has the same scar" i SPAT my coffee

Love how he calls him Genie which sounds oddly close to his actual name

It's been 12 years now and Ace pushing Luffy forward still gives me CHILLS!!

"That guy looks LEGIT." Yep. That is Trafalgar Law, one of Luffy's rival pirate captains.

I don't recommend watching The Greatest Story Ever Told. It's quite Spoilery. I do however strongly recommend a video called The Breathtaking World of One Piece by Strawhat V. No spoilers, just setting your expectations to what kind of world you're getting yourself into. It's actually an amazing video. Couldn't recommend The Breathtaking World of One Piece enough.

I chuckled so many times when the brother appeared and just as he went away from the screen you asked "Hmm, where's his brother? Haven't seen him in a while" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 that was so funny. I had a blast watching your reactions, thank you!

One interesting thing to know is that the anime is entering into the final saga soon. Apparently according to Oda (the author) the whole story so far (over two decades worth) was basically just a prequel to the epic final saga that's about to start. A lot of people think it will probs end in about 5 years. The story has already been fantastic so far, so the hype right now is crazier than ever.

The brothers name is Ace and he was in the last few openings you watched, you just missed him. Such an iconic character he sticks out to me pretty easily.

Luffy also speaks in opening 4, he does the opening narration.

The Straw hat is tied to a promise he made to Red Haired Shanks as a little boy. Something you learn about in chapter 1 of the manga but episode 5 or something like that in the anime. So it's not really a spoiler. It's central to the story. Luffy cherishes that hat. It's his treasure. Strawhat Luffy of the Strawhat Pirates. Edit: Just gonna throw in random trivia here as I watch your reaction. Luffy does have the power of a devil fruit called the gum gum fruit. It changed the properties of his entire body to rubber at the cost of his ability to swim. So he's a rubber man. All devil fruit power holders share the weakness of sinking like a stone. They essentially become weak when submerged in water. Also, it's not entirely accurate that every single one of his crew has powers but I'm not gonna go into any of that as that would be spoilerish.

It's always a pleasure to see someone turning into a fan. Welcome in the crew, man 😁🍻

Openings can generally be tied to arcs, but arcs in One Piece vary GREATLY in size. Some of the arcs are very short like 10-20 episodes while other arcs have over a 100 episodes. So certain arcs can have multiple openings cover it, while other times an opening will cover multiple arcs.

The thing with Arcs is that they can last as little as a few or 10 episodes of it can be up to around 50-100 episodes or even more, so with the openings they kinda indicate how long the Arc will be. For example OP 16's arc lasts around 46 episodes while OP 22, 23, & 24 is over 120 episodes

Man. You felt more genuine than a lot of the more recent reactions. It was refreshing 👍

Fight Together, the first song in this video, will always be my forever favorite also yeah, every. single. episode. they seem to look bigger and bigger

Opening 1 is so iconic and yeah it brings nostalgia to a lot of people

Worth noting about all the different openings is that it is an ancient old series. Musical styles have developed, but also the story has. Early One Piece is a very different beast than the One Piece later on in terms of the story and subjects it discusses. It is much like growing up: as a kid you are sheltered from a lot of the bad things in the world, and when you grow up you suddenly realize that everything is wretched and unfair. It goes from Villain-of-the-Week and focused on the small scale developments of the crew, to casting the net wider into the greater world, looking at whole kingdoms, and eventually down the rabbit hole while pissing off literally everyone a sane person wouldn't piss off by rioting through their proverbial dirty underwear for dirt. The scale gets immensely huge for just a bunch of pirates doing pirate things as they see fit.

When you noticed Jinbe right at the end with the crew i was so happy!

you forgetting who Sanji is every time is so funny for no reason

The blackening on his arms is something called Haki, more specifically Armament Haki (also translated as the Color of Arms). It's basically someone's willpower manifested as armor, used both offensively and defensively. Anyone can develop it, but it's uncommon in most of the world.

30:29 his brother is there don’t assume that he died ☠️ I died laughing and he has a main role in the current arc

"This is the final opening vibes" It's crazy to hear that when we are likely getting one more opening for this ARC (because of a specific event that happens soon *wink wink* iykyk) we still got years till One Piece is finished 🤣

Op 17 is actually 15th anniversary of the anime that's why the outfits are really nice

Arcs can have over 100 episodes but there are shorter ones. The current arc that's broadcasting now is at 184 episodes and counting.

28:35 the parts that you mentioned where the song doesnt seem to match the visuals , is different for each episode because it shows bits of important stuff everytime ( minor spoilers lol)

Sanji has siblings the blond hair with spiral eyebrows and the ones with numbers on their capes are his siblings you can see the similar spiral eyebrows

Another spoiler free AMV is The Breathtaking World of One Piece. Thinks its like 13 mins, excited to see you join the crew!

The hat is important. Someone special gave Luffy that hat. ❤ Also, blonde guy is Sanji.

"An arc is like what? 40 to 50 episodes? Or is that too long?" Oh boy....

"we still havent seen his brother in a while" as if he didnt have literally 3 seconds of screen time in the same opening he was watching

this guy is the luckiest in the world that he didn't get spoiled on that one moment in marineford

The hat is crucial to the story and we don’t even know the full extent of it’s meaning yet.

"an arc is what like 40 to 50 eps or does that seem too long" wheezing laughs

Late to seeing this, but I love when more people start diving into One Piece content!! You mentioned that some of their outfits look like French Privateers, well privateers are largely in this show about "Pirates." Although, they go by another title and they are problematic. Also, alot of the group shots and varying outfits worn in these openings aren't directly from the anime, but are pulled from one-shot illustrations by Eiichiro Oda.

Zoro- Green hair Sanji- Blonde Nami- Orange hair Chopper- Reindeer Robin- Black hair Brook- Skeleton Franky- Cyborg blue hair Usopp- Long nose

there is in fact an opening where luffy speaks before this. Its opening 4 in the start monolog.

The length of the arcs differ, but the current arc (The Wano Kuni arc) started in episode 887 and is still going on at episode 1052. It will probably last around 40 - 50 more episodes.

"We haven't seen the brother in a while" He appears in openings 23, 23.5 and 24 lmao.

It's honestly better that you watch all the openings at once because once you get to their arcs, you'll have already forgotten 99% of the spoilers in them.

The 1000 episode opening emphasized the transition from the old school screen ratio and get rid of the black bars on the side. Also the animation and story changes.

just saying for opening 23, the black arm thing is called "Haki" basically your willpower manifested visually its like armor, everyone can do it that has a strong will. it goes more in depth to it in the show like the old man in opening 23 was able to do it too and Luffy has shown the Haki since opening 16!

“The genie guy” 💀 that sent me.

He called Jimby a genie 😂😂 I’m dead

One Piece Openings 14 and 16 are my best! The nostalgia on this greatest anime show is hitting me so hard that I have tears right now :')

Would love to see the reactions and especially when you realize what their names actually are, how they’re related, and what their powers are.

Obligatory recommendation to react to "The Breathtaking World of One Piece" Spoiiler free youtube video that sells the strongest (imho) aspect of One Piece the Worldbuilding.

Don’t feel bad for not ranking the remastered original Opening higher. You will when you watch it :)

I enjoyed watching your video until the end! I scored every time I listened to the song, so I enjoyed watching it more. I hope to rank the One Piece openings next time!

fun fact: luffy vs The Dragon is the longest fight in anime, and the longest arc in anime is the current one. the second longest for both are also from one piece

Thanks for this, u explained u saw and spoke what happens what's new ur awesome one of my favorite reactors now

An arc can be over 100+ episodes, like Water 7. Some arcs could be less than 12 episodes since they act like fillers or sidestories and they don't have any real impact to the main story or the main Straw hat pirate crew.

"The Greatest Story Ever Told" is a good one but "The Breathtaking World of One Piece" is even better.

The best way to explain powers is that there are things called Devil Fruits in One Piece. If you eat a Devil Fruit you are given a power but in exchange you lose your ability to swim. The main character ate the Gum gum fruit so he can now stretch since his body is made of rubber

I'm sad. Mid tier for HOPE (OP20)?

Btw the Blond guy is Sanji. 'San'(3 in Japanese)-ji

If you want to dip your toes into the series to learn more without spoiling too much, most reactors I’ve seen watch The appeal of One Piece, where to start Why you should watch/read one piece The breathtaking world of one piece Anyway the series is intimidating in size but the quality is worth it

I can't blame you, opening 20 is the most addicting song.. kinda throw me off on my first listen and hated it but it gets better the more you listen. Im glad you liked it on the first listen.

ive noticed this before but ill say it again; somehow Luffy's name does NOT sound right without the D. 😂Monkey Luffy just sounds wrong... edit: 40-50 episodes is too long for an arc?? oh boy...

BTW, since you made that one comparison to Pokémon, I just wanna tell you a funny tidbit - Chopper is voiced by the same lady who voices Pikachu. You'll see once you actually hear him talk. Cheers!

Yeah you pronounce it Monkey (like the animal) Loo Fee but his middle initial is D. We don't know what the D stands for but it's extremely important for the lore. That is all I'll say about it. Also yes, the hat is extremely important. More important than you think actually. Not even like on a metaphorical or thematic level.

Well, yes, Every Straw Hats have their own power, to make it less spoiler for you, I will just make it short and not so detailed: -Luffy (the straw hat guy): Power of Rubber, but surprisingly more than just a Rubber -Zoro (Sword guy): Three Sword Style Swordsman -Nami (Orang haired girl): Weather power -Usopp (Long nosed guy): A Sniper with "plant bullets" -Sanji (The Blonde guy): He fight with his leg, but he's actually more than that -Chopper (I think you already know him): Shape shifting reindeer -Robin (Black haired girl): she can sprouts any body parts -Franky (Blue haired muscular guy): a Cyborg -Brook (Skeleton guy): Music, but also a swordsman -Jinbe (Actually he's not a genie, but yes, he's also not from human race): Karate+Water power

Really nice reactions you got there, I just know you're gonna love One Piece. As for recommendations, while it's not anime, it'd be neat if you reacted to Super Sentai (Goranger to Donbrothers), Kamen Rider (1971 to Geats), and Ultraman (Ultra Q to Decker) openings.

Opening 17 was actually for the 15th anniversary, but the specific video you watched seemed to cut out all the text saying that.

My top 5 openings are 21, 5, 20, 14, and 13. Here are some anime that have fantastic opening songs to consider as well if you don't have them on the list: D.Gray-man, The Seven Deadly Sins, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Attack on Titan, and Gintama

Lmao, i was about to Open up my Walkers Wotsits or whatever they are called. Right when Op16 is starting am like "Wait, I don't need the noise to distract me, so lemme toss it!"

The guy with the mustache is indeed Gold Roger, the former Pirate King

As you go more into the story devil fruit are going to be more of a thing however every devil fruit has different abilities depending on what you get. Tho downside you can't really swim as a side effect however it doesn't really stop people with devil fruit because you just can make up for that depending on what you have

Luffy talked at the beginning of the Bon Voyage opening in the first part of your reaction. Op 4 or 5, i think Opening 20 is pretty emotional to me, -especially when you know the lyrics

An arc is however long they want to have the arc to be tbh

It's Monkey. D. Luffy, But most people just call him Luffy

I really appreciate your reaction. You deny the copyringht thing shit. Just big respect👍👍 Love your reaction

in one of the first openings , the main character Luffy speaks as the guy who starts the opening with a speech

i think the brother character your looking for actually was in the last opening briefly, 32:29

Opening 14 is my favorite opening of One Piece followed closely by Opening 18.

If i were you start watching onepiece now... it's worth it.. the best anime that has best stories as well..

Awesome reactions and funny to hear all your questions that are eighter on point or couldent be further away from the truth 🤣

His brother is ace and the blonde guy with the scar on his face with the top hat is his other brother and his name is sabo But they go with a straw hat that is the main character his name is monkey D luffy but you pronounce luffy as loofy instead of the uh Poltergeist D Ace Idk sabos full name Monkey d luffy

whos going to tell him 40-50 episodes per arc is short

20 and 24 are both the best openings musically and narratively, and it is not even remotely close

Please react to ( Is Starting One Piece Still Worth It In 2023? ) by Ohara. The video has very few spoilers and it highlights some of the things that make the series awesome. It will blow your mind. P.S. Don't let the length of the series intimidate you because it is better to enjoy it at your own pace and the series won't be ending anytime soon.

Pineaple on pizza? It sounds more like war crime than food

5:34 oh , its true, hat have a great story

Stop bringing up the brother man, I'm about to tear up over here.

This guy said Hope was mid😢 how dare you!

The scar on Luffy chest was when it got damage but it's from a movie with in the the time skip so you'll have to watch the movie of one piece 3D2Y

Also you said watch 3 ep they will say Monkey D Luffy just remember the person who wrote this story is Japanese which the put the Last Name first in their country.

Don't forget the D on luffy's name ( Monkey D Luffy) no one knows what the D means but is very important for the story.

Opening 1 plays only like 4 or 5 times during the whole show and everything it plays it during a monumental moment

The role of the hat?? Emm they were called Strawhat Pirate...

As an Italian, no, pineapple doesn't belong to pizza.

Animation evolution

there is an arc in one piece that is 100+ episodes also its Monkey D. Luffy the blond hair dude name is sanji and the blue guy you said name jini his name is actually Jinbe! very close also the black fist is a power in one piece i wont go into it for spoilers also in the 22 opening luffy dont bite his arm he blows air into it

Yes they made Nami and Robin's boobs bigger and hair longer because time has passed and they got a bit older...pay attention to the crew looks after opening 13

he a fishman not a genie 🤣

I like opening 23 a lot maybe my favorite for music and song 26:17

Yeah, THAT HAT.....VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE SERIES.

The blue guy isn't a Jeanie he's a Fishman 😁

can you please react to ''the breathtaking world of one piece by strawhatV'' please?? is a spoiler free video showcasing the amazing world building that the show have with some epic music. it's 100% worth it, guaranteed.

One piece arcs vary wildly in length.
