Guys, check out Genshin Impact version 1.6 update: mhy.link/5e9pECA6 Let me know how you guys like The Midsummer Island Adventure Event!

Biggest crime was brand new world only lasting a handful of episodes

Some people criticize One Piece because of its art, but I actually find it unique and pleasing

I can't believe he didn't mention how Kokoro no Chizu started out with the Straw Hats falling from the Sky after leaving Skypiea. That's a very neat little detail that I, once I noticed, couldn't stop thinking about.

*”Opening 11 - Share The World” alone is better than most animes*

Kokoro No Chizu is underrated. The reason why they're falling was because they just came from Skypeia. The reason the Going Merry is the focus is because the Merry has been going through some real shit.

Fight Together is the most emotionally rushing opening I have seen. Goes through everyone's story in a brief moment, resuming the actuality and loss of the crew, and their will to surpass it.

I've always seen "One Day" and "Fight Together" as two halves of the same OP since they frame the Impel Down/Marineford arc so well. "One Day" has that hopeful and desperate energy to it that makes you really believe everything will work out and when "Fight Together" hits, it really hits hard, perfectly emulating that hollow feeling where hope is literally all you have left.

Fight Together is objectively my favourite. I can't sit through the first 35 seconds of that opening without crying while looking at Ace's face in the initial flashback. The entire Marineford arc followed by the brothers' backstory in the post war arc hit in a way that I probably should unpack in therapy.

You should do every HxH op ranked, I feel like departure should be number one but then again departure is real good, I can’t choose between the two. But I definitely know departure is the worst, just compare departure to departure and the difference in quality is clear as day.

Fight together is the best opening in my eyes. Centered around Luffy, the relationships with his crew and dealing with the end of marineford. That final scene with Ace will always make me tear up

I'm really hoping that when the crew finally reaches Laugh Tale "We Are!" Returns in some format.

things in Kokoro No Chizu you could've focused on aside from the fact that it uses a 3d model that's not up to modern standards: -falling from the sky isn't just a fun, quirky way to introduce the characters, it's a direct reference to them returning to the blue sea after skypia -it introduces the merry the same as the other strawhats, showing she's part of the crew right as that gets really relevant -ALSO the 3d model shot of the merry does a REALLY good job of showing how broken that ship is without actually focusing on it which. you know. is RELEVANT -it shows robin as part of the crew but also crossing her arms in group shots, sitting away from them as they all talk and keeping herself guarded with the blanket as much as possible while they all sleep (she's the only one who we see only the head of even as everyone has sleeping positions fitting their character), indicating she hasn't opened up to them 100% -it's the first opening to really show what's happening in the episodes it's airing in front of (aside from some villain/side character shots) and it does a really good job of that especially since it had some very emotional stuff and some of the wackiest stuff in all of one piece to cover -shows usopp wearign luffy's strawhat, holding his hand and standing infront of his projected wanted poster, literally showing them to be as close friends as possible, then with zero explanation a few shots later has them fighting seriously. slight spoiler yeah but no opening has ever left me so intrigued as to how this could happen -that brief shot of nami with a gun. how can you call yourself a horny op fan and not mention it. look at our queen. appreciate her outfit it's so stylish. let her shoot you. smh -that gorgeous shot of water 7 with kaku flying over that's not only showing one of the best islands esp up to that point but is also luring you into trusting him while showing off his superhuman abilities that should lead to you not trusting him -kalifa already shown fighting the strawhats. foreshadowing! without being obvious! -lucci and paulie fighting and lucci's face being shown upside down both as a cool action shot AND telling us his role in the story is the complete opposite of paulie's, again without being too obvious because it's all in a line with wacky davy back fight shenanigans so we're not thinking about betrayal even when we SHOULD be -only opening with a dedicated - if brief - shot of hattori and therefore automatically the best thank you for coming to my TED talk let's start that kokoro no chizu for number 1 riot after all guys

This entire watch was me telling myself "he's ranking based on visuals not just song, he's ranking based on visuals, not just song" over and over again. Great video as always!

Kokoro no Chizu is best and I’ll forever stand by that statement.

I think the music has a lot more impact on me than Geoff (despite being an animator myself) so it hurt to see One Day and Jungle P so low. One Day specifically has made me cry more than any piece of media ever

17:11 if you carefully look at the map you can spot text which says 3D2Y I loved how the anime department added this little detail which hints that there'll be a 2yr timeskip. Keep in mind that this opening first released in Nov 2006 and the timeskip happened in August of 2010 in the manga, So Oda must've thought of the timeskip AT LEAST around 4 years before it actually happened in the story which is just crazy!

There's a really cool part musically in Dreamin' On that I think gets missed. The OP has a ton of loud energy, but when it gets to the part where Luffy uses ryuo, it goes quiet. It really highlights the focus and training he did with Hyogoro to not stress and let the haki flow.

There’s no such thing as terminal or rock bottom with One Piece addiction. You can always go further. ONE OF US

“Best boi Yamato” I see you are a man of culture as well

Outside of We Are, I will always think One Day is the best. The introduction of characters in the arc with main abilities, sleek transitions, well timed animations that match the tempo, and the emotional attachment really get me.

Opening 13 "one day" is about Luffy dreaming about the war,his crew and his brother Ace.

I can also recommend the first german op for One Piece. It's a Banger.

Honestly, my favorite was fight together, of course that's just my opinion.

When Usopp fought Perona and then Sogeking appeared out of nowhere singing the theme song, I got chills.

Finally someone talks about Go D. Usopps friend the sniper king😩 Also Op 15 is my favorite One peice Op and also 3rd favorite anime song of all time

Jungle P is really Nostalgic to me. Also the rap part lol

No cap, We Fight Together makes me cry whenever I hear it and think of the pain and strife that Luffy and the crew have gone through. But they keep fighting in spite of that and promise to meet each other again once they’ve become stronger. My absolute favorite ❤️

I'm happy to see Hikari E at third! It's a personal favorite (same with Fight Together) so seeing you rank it up so high just validates my love for these songs and this series. Please keep it up with the OP content, I love seeing you talk with so much admiration for this legendary series

Franky’s theme is a bop

You know your addicted bad when you see the meteoric fall of someone like Geoff and dare say “Welcome to the club”.

To me the emotional weight of the crew reuniting in We Go! is just unbelievably cathartic. They've done so much work to improve and get stronger, and after 2 whole years of being apart, they're finally reunited with one another at Sabaody. It's just so stylish too, with the introductory shots of each crew member in front of a pattern with their name on a black background. Then there's the redux of this motif, placing each member onto a color coded background tiled with a symbol representing their dreams and passions, each appearing perfectly on the beat that leads into all of them finally setting sail again to Fishmen Island. The song itself is an absolutely perfect evolution of the first OP "We Are!," with some very similar horns that are even more bold and confident without losing any of that spontaneous, adventurous charm that makes One Piece so special. This opening is the perfect start to the second half of the Straw Hats journey, symbolizing all of the work they've done to come this far and how they're blazing on into the new world, full of youth, passion, and ambition. Nothing shows this better than the spinning shot of the Straw Hat being passed down from Roger to Shanks, and then on to Luffy. The theme of inherited will is still alive and well. Also it's technically not in the OP itself, but the scene during episode 521 of Luffy saying goodbye to Rayleigh and thanking him for everything he's done while this song plays in the background is just so beautiful. It brings a tear to my (and Rayleigh's) eyes every time. And last note, but I'm a bit surprised that the Wano openings weren't higher on your list, they're some of my absolute favorites. But I might just be a sucker for how good the animation is in both and the traditional japanese motifs in Over The Top.

I can agree that the visuals for Believe aren't very good, but they lyrics for the English version really touched my heart. I didn't like them as much after how much I loved the first song, but after like 20 episodes I really heard them. "You're all that I want, together we can move on, Live how we want to! There is no limit to us, we have the power of love and we don't wanna live ordinary lives, we have the chance to live in paradise." It brought a tear to my eye, and I looked over and my girlfriend was crying too. We had both internalized the words at the same time even though we didn't like it much before. That's why I never slip the opening of an anime. Hearing the song many times helps it get into your heart and if you hear it many times it will bring you back to that moment

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO ACKNOWLEDGES THE 2008 VERSION OF WE ARE IS THE SUPERIOR OP✋🏾

@15:47 that whole sequence of the SHs walking together in Bon Voyage is probably my favourite thing in all of these One Piece openings . The animation , artstyle and colors all meet the standards that I exactly want from an opening . the SHs look so wholesome as a bunch here which captures Oda's work perfectly . Everything sits right with me that I can never get bored of it . I can't get enough of the goofy way Luffy walks with his weird arm angles . Also look at that T-shirt of Chopper's that says " happy" . that is like the most adorable thing ever to me lol I've always wanted Toei to capture this old classic style seen in Bon Voyage with their later openings , but I felt like it was forever lost with the modern anime-ish digital art style with the post-timeskip default character designs . But then with the recent Wano's opening I feel like they totally brought it back . I absolutely love how the SHs look in the latest 2 openings , as it feels almost nostalgic . Like damn the difference is huge . maybe this is just me though ...

Thank you for creating this video!

Never IN MY LIFE did I think that an OPENING could make me tear up until I saw Fight Together. That moment where Ace pushes Luffy forward and Luffy turns around, Ace tips his hat, smiles then disappears and then Luffy runs towards his friends jumps and the song goes "We fight together!" Like wow... Just wow, outstanding 😭💕

Easily the best One Piece OP is "One day" by The Rootless.

Me seeing "We are" is in second place: >:( Seeing the first place: ok fair :)

Fight Together will always be my favourite as it hit me in the feels harder than anything before or since. But that is a very personal matter! I loved your list! An old english fandub of Hikaru E introduced me to One Piece so it's fun to see it get some recognition, and the 2008 we are is just pure nostalgia, so both of them being at the top is no surprise to me!

i literally love all your videos of one piece

One Piece is too dangerous . Welcome to the being caught up club

The german opening "The Legend" should be number one not gonna lie.

I have been waiting for this video for years

another amazing video

Fight Together still never fails to make me cry :D

Literally your one piece videos bring me SO MUCH joy, never expected number 1

I personally love OP12 and Jungle P. Hope and Dreamin' On are bangers too.

Accually shocked OP 13 it's so low , its One of My favorite ones gives me so much emotion and hype

Best OP: We are. Best non-OP song: Binks no sake.

Thanks for this! I've misse OP ranking an What's in an OP

wow, that was certainly a bold list. Some seriously interesting choices :D

I can recognize every One Piece opening, when in the anime it plays, and the order they are in. I've been infected by One Piece for almost a decade and I don't think I'll ever be free.

20 years later we still waiting for new one piece every week dad: are ya winning son? us: i dunno anymore

I wasn’t expecting Hikari E! to get second place! That song is one of my favorites of all time; it drags me back into my childhood

I've never watched or read One Piece, I just like listening you talk about something you really, really enjoy. Thanks.

I almost clicked off when I saw hard knock days at 23, but figured, no, he can redeem himself. Then I saw One Day at 21st. ONE DAY. I’m sorry, I enjoyed your One Piece analysis, but I can’t continue to watch this video.

The very first OP has one of my favorite scene transitions in an anime OP: the part where Luffy spins the straw hat on his finger only to seemlessly transition to Shanks and his crew. Beautiful bit of editing in my opinion.

I've always really loved the 'the strawhats run/walk towards something' parts, as it's always felt very emblematic of the crew itself in the series, Luffy especially. He's gonna move forward to his dream, regardless of what is going on in the world or what his actions mean in the grander view of things. And the rest of the crew will follow him with no hesitation. The run shot in the 8th OP especially gives me that feeling.

Geoff I have been hoping you'd make this video since I first subbed to your channel. You did not disappoint. Great fucking work.

DAMNNN, I just finished the big incident at summit war and you upload this. very nice.

I now await the video that delves deep into One Piece's Pandaman lore.

Always hunkering for some new OP content

That's an interesting list :D

What you said about "Hope" could also have been said about "One Day"

For me, other the first opening, nothing will ever capture the feeling of binging One Piece with my brother during warm childhood summer nights like Crazy Rainbow Star does. The best era of One Piece both visually and narratively, perfectly complimented by a song and video that is so adventurous, fun and plain "One Piece" it makes me want to cry

From now on I hope you enjoy both week-to-week and full-arc dynamics. I know it has its cons, but there are fabulous things that make One Piece part of routine life: personally, it entertains me a lot, it distracts me and drugs me. Greetings oldman! hope more of your Opiece videos YOHOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOHHOOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO

I don't rank the op visuals much, but in terms of favorite songs, I was first a lil taken aback seeing Believe at last place. Which, sure...visual wise isn't much to look at but damn, that song is AMAZING and I love it forever. I also love the intro to Brand New World, the colour spread animations popping into my head the moment the song kicks off, whenever I hear it. I don't like ranking things but if going by both song and visual, I still think that OP1 has it all, it captures that light, exciting tones of early OP so well, that I just can't. For me the openings are most all favored if they are pre-timeskip cause that's the time I actually delved into the series via anime, nowadays simply reading the chapters, accompanied by the soundtracks of the anime itself. So I got a bit of a bias due to nostalgia. Though that does not mean the others aren't kickass and fun to watch, when I get around to checking them at the random times I do.

Number 1 should be the German version of the first op smh

Another informative video about this dangerous story. Arc rankings next!

Germany put in alot of effort into the first 9 openings. Really nice to listen to, also op 1 and 2 are incredible in Germany

Every time I hear "poketo no coin sorette you wanna be my friend" I raise my left arm in a fist. It's important.

We Are, Fight Together, and Brand New World all constantly fight for the top spot for me but I love all the openings.

If you need some more one piece, how about watching the openings in different languages? The German openings are pretty neat and the first one is also an original, which for me is pure nostalgia 😊 Aside from the first they just sang the songs in German, but I think they're really good 😁

I have that same craving for more One Piece aswell.. I am always watching every One Piece video on KZfaq to get my fix!

i cant believe you put believe last its definetly my favourite opening song wise and visual wise

This was unexpected! But definitely appreciated! 😁

Started reading the manga... Didn't hit hard till chapter 81... I should have listened, i must consume.

Nice, I'm playing Genshin right now and watching this video :) Epic!

A perfect video for me.

I've never felt so left out because I haven't watched one piece

Hard Knock Days has one of my favorite scenes in any One Piece OP, with the Straw Hats, their Dressrosa allies, and a selection of all their past friends and allies running in place. Gives me chills every time.

My favorite opening is your sixteenth pick, Bon Voyage, for pretty much the reasons you highlighted. The scene of the Strawhats slowly joining in (which ends with them all jumping up and doing a heel click) that cuts straight to showing all the traumatic moments that define the characters (all while the vocals ramp up and start belting out BON VOYAGE) hits me emotionally every time I watch it in a way no other OP manages to do. That said, I also would highly rate your third choice, Hikaru E, given how visually gorgeous it is.

When you’re caught up to One Piece is when you realize it’s actually not long enough…

The virgin other intros vs the chad pirate rap. Honestly that pirate rap still is catchy as hell and I really do miss the old English openings to animes.

One Piece has better endings than openings(when it did anyways)

Very glad to see that my fav op #6 ended with a very good place!!

Hikari does the one thing One Piece is best at, it shows how fun and exciting freedom can be. One Piece more than anything is about freedom, both enjoying it yourself and creating it for people who can't for themselves, and Hikari e every episode reminded me how important that is

It's been like 8years since I first got into OP and now watching this really brought tears to my eyes. Why is this so fucking nostalgic?!

Ah a new vid about One Piece! Allow me to come aboard and bring along all my hopes and dreams

37:17 no no, he's got a point

“We are” will always be my favorite op, just love the song so much

He talks a lot, very noisy man. Good at analyzing anime OPs.

Me: "Well he's picks can't get that controversial" Geoff: "One Day isn't even in the top 20" Me: "Rip comment section"

This is full of nostalgia and is making me go back to watch a lot of these ops

I can't see fight together without tearing up. Such an emotional opening. Also I loved the cell shading in the old One Piece style.

i’m sorry but i have to click off because believe at 25

as we all know the 4Kids One Piece OP is the best

thank u again for making one piece content it has always been my favorite anime and no one in my vicinity will watch it even a little bit

Never watched a single episode of One Piece and thus have no emotional investment in it. But when I briefly dipped out of this video to watch THAT video with the audience in France singing We Are in unison, make no mistake, I was failing to stop myself from bawling.
