Small mistake I made when talking about Linlin. I say "19th Century" when I actually meant 20th Century. My Ape brain forgot that 1900-1999 is the 20th Century.

Can't believe you didn't have a 40 minute segment on the significance of Chopper's blue nose

The connection between Doffy and Don Quixote is that they both had delusions of grandeur. Doffy would always talk about the new era that is comming, where the weak will be left behind, only to be the first one to fall, as soon as the era he was talking about started. He thought he was in the ring with the giants but he actually was fighting his own delusions, just like his inspiration Don Quixote

I love how big mom is literally a BIG MOM in every possible way ODA IS A GENIUS OMG

I love alot of One Piece Designs but one that always stood out to me was Blackbeard which is one of my personal favorites. his design stands out, because it DOESN'T "stand out" if you catch my drift he is meant to emulate the more stereotypical pirate archetype, which goes hand and hand with his character, being a more archetypical pirate.

I think tht doffy's design works rly well also because the pink feathers have such a soft smooth tone. Its a coat that passes this impression of warm and cozy, which strenghtens the facade that hides the absolute psycopath he actually is.

Thanks for another top tier one piece video, just wanted to add that the combination of Katakuri’s scarf and his red hair make him resemble a cupcake, with his scarf being the icing and his hair being the cherry on top, fitting the whole cake sweets theme!

I've always loved Mihawk's design. It's both understated and completely over the top which is perfect for a LEGENDARY character being introduced early on into the series. His simple humble ship fits his modest personality and his MASSIVE sword says everything you need to know about the guy right away.

The other thing I love about One Pieces design is its use of hierarchical scaling. This is a design principal where characters who hold more power or influence are disproportionately larger than everyone else. There is no good explanation for why the Admirals, Whitebeard, Katakuri, Doffy, Magellan, (honestly so many human characters), are all like 8-10 feet tall. Oda has intentionally designed so many important characters as similarly huge compared to their peers. Of course there are exceptions, but by and large you can always expect the big bad of any arc to be taller than any normal human.

fun fact: brulee's mirro-world has a really cool double meaning. Obviously it's a "mirro[r] world", but by taking off the [r] it becomes mirro, and mirro/miro means look in Japanese which immediately made me think of "Through the Looking Glass", which to my knowledge is some kind of variation on the Alice in Wonderland story (most will probably think of the Tim Burton film) where Alice gets to wonder land through a glass mirror called a looking glass. I'm not really sure if it was intentional but considering how Oda does stuff, I wouldn't be surprised, and either way it's really cool how that works out.

big mom is the queen of hearts and sanji was alice lost in wonderland. i think thats why carrot tagged along for the whole cake island. The alice in wonderland inspo is great

I have Always loved one piece character designs because they look just as how they should. Look at Crocodile - you immediately know that he is a boss of an outlaw gang. Or look at Kaido - it’s a little bit complicated but there is a Japanese tale about a fish that climbed a waterfall and became dragon. On top of that the belt that he is wearing is actually a rope that Japanese use to tie object with high spiritual meaning. Kaido’s design itself is a Japanese a tale! This is next level design:D

Look, I don't hate new Franky. It fits very well with his character. But old Franky is *the shit.* Nothing can compare. My mind cannot be changed on this.

One of my fav details about katakuris design is that his tattoo on his upper arm resembles a doily ( one of those lace thingys that you have at tea party’s ) and it’s such a great way to put in the tott land aesthetic while keeping it true to him

I like the designs of pre timeskip Perona and Smoothie

i think that besides big mom design her character is also unique and great. my favorite yonkou which is so colorful and unpredictable like luffy is. she is not just a power house, not a straight character. it is always entertaining to have her on screen

One piece is by far the most visually appealing manga out there and the most easiest to follow because of how detailed everything is Whenever I see photos of ANY other manga than one piece it always looks hard to follow in comparison to one piece

Franky's post time skip design was the natural evolution of his design. Anyone who liked franky could see that his dumbassery was gonna lead to him making himself a megamech and I am 100% behind it

6:39 just wanted to add that Corazon's face paint and hairstyle design is also a clear reference to Alex from Clockwork Orange!

Very happy to hear someone cover my second and third fav in the entire series in one single video, Katakuri and Kaku. Absolutely love the character introductions and personality of them as antagonists

Doflamingo unintentionally looks like spider-man with the shape of his glasses and his webs ( I know they’re not webs but I forgot what they’re even called ) but you get my point

Okay I know this is not even relevant but I love the fact you played Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers in the back while talking about your love for one piece. One of those cool kindred spirit moments you have. Great video 👌

Dofla is clearly inspired directly on Michel Polnareff. Considering their looks and the influence he has on mangaka (jojo) this is clear for me

I love that oda gives some male characters pink especially doflamingo and momonosuke whom we know that they're powerful. oda came across the gender label.

I’m loving all this Franky breakdown!l points.

I don’t think I’ve subscribed to a channel as fast as I have before. You understand what makes One Piece special SO AMAZINGLY WELL! From the writing AND art. I adore your videos. They’re over 10 minutes but it feels like the video’s over in 5 minutes based off of how much I enjoy them. Can’t wait to see more videos from you

I love the Franky part!!!! I love Franky as a character and his design!!! Spot on conmentary! His design is very powerful and his silhouette is masculine

If that manga frame is from boy's abyss, I couldn't pick better character or scene to highlight crazyness.

Man spared no expense for the jiggle physics of Robin's dance with Franky

Hey fun theory dragon is luffys mom and was assaulted by a celestial dragon after climbing the ranks (charlos scene gets a new meaning especially with luffys fist mark now)

7:38i'm not expecting to hear tommyinnit in a video about one piece, representing kaku of all Characters

I always thought that Corazon had a black fur because it represent Doflamingo's heart (a heart so evil that only can be represnted by black) like Corazan's name.

Dude you are on a roll... very exciting

I'm fine with franky's new design, i just want his old hair to be permanently back.

Doflamingo was based on Michel Polnareff, but I also think he has some Ric Flair in there as well.

Ivankov is still one of my favorites in terms of design.

My favorite character designs are Luffy his simplistic design just really fits him, Sanji design just a solid and spiffy character design, Brook he has a lot of great outfits, and pre time Skip Chopper it look more unique of a design then his Pikachu looking design he has now. For female designs I like pre time skip Robin, Uta, Yamoto, Kalifia and Reiju and Lilith's design. My favorite Nami outfit is when she's in her Zou dress.

Big mom doesn't need a nuclear family, because her family IS the nuke 💀

SUUUUPPERRRRRRR

Oda’s ability to create beauty is amazing! The females are cartoonish but also very beautiful. Hancock is gorgeous in a subtle way, not so much in her body, but in her face. This goes for almost all of the female characters. Beautiful, while being in Oda’s style of drawing, but also in their own ways. And this is true for the male characters as well. Brooding and manly. Garp, Roger, Zoro, Whitebeard. They are what girls would call “daddy”. Even Luffy himself, while boyish, has an edge to him that I imagine girls would find quite attractive. Sanji has a female following from what I’ve heard as well where they are quite taken with him. Oda’s character design has come such a long way and his ability to create beauty is very rare. Cartoons can be cute, or drawings/ portraits can be beautiful, but rarely are they both. Oda pulls this off. I find it remarkable. This is pretty common in anime, as the animation style is dignified but also cartoonish, but many anime waifus and protagonists are just people, but OP is more fantasy oriented with its themes, which makes this very special. The beauty and theme of the character compliment each other. Jewelry Bonney is a great example, but really, all of the characters are an example. It’s genius right before our very eyes in real time! Oda’s genius makes me feel like my brain is small haha.

I do feel there is probably a line to draw somewhere with Donquixote longing for a romanticized world long past va Doffy wanting to return to being a celestial dragon. That being said i dont have the time to reread Donquixote to really sink my teeth into thinking about it.

1:52 man literally couldn't hold back his laughter😭💀😂

honestly when oda does good character design it's brilliant. generally one piece for good reason is considered as one of the best manga (for many reasons but also this) in terms of character designs, I just wish the one for female characters would have gotten that diversity, uniqueness etc. like the male characters did.

engagement algorithm point

I think Doffys Design is based on Michel Polnareff

Pre and post time skip chopper and all Nico robin fits some favourites is start of film red and enies lobby those are top tier

such a fire channel you need more views bro

Kaku is my favorite CP9 agent, and I would try to be friends with him. If I wasn't a pirate😅

such a great video, please do another!

Personally I just love the overall aesthetic/fashion of all the One piece characters, especially around the time Alabasta ends. It's like..tropicalpunk? Instead of steampunk and there's just something so cool about it to me. I actually dropped OP for most of my teenage years, then when I was 19 I had a roommate from Japan with OP posters/decorations everywhere and the aesthetic was just so awesome that I picked it back up

Can't believe you didn't mention Franky's best nicknack. NIPPLE LIGHTS!!😭😭

Good vid. I hereby suggest : consider a minimal time limit for a visual frame. Using current YT's mobile interface, precision movement in time is (literally) impossible. In such interface, we can't advance nor return in a frame-per-frame, as far as I'm aware. Even if using the "PC interface ina mobile device", the keyboard don't appear to engage in the single-digit operation. I enjoy your use of manga scenes, and want to read each one xD Most I cans top and read, yet some pass'd by too fast for my pausing. Then I returned 10sec, missed, returned 10sec, missed, rinse and repeat for not much more than a single dozen of times -- yet it really got frustrating. Because I want to see 'em all. And I did. Just suggesting to make it simpler to make it so, in future videos. 👍

Facts

Based for including Kaku

These videos are so much more interesting than boring tiresome powerscaling

SUUUPAAAAA

Shedinja kinda dripped out

The only thing I hate about Franky new look is his legs he look like those who skipped leg day

Nice video 👍🏻

Pearl has the best design.

3:23

This shit peak good shit

Oh please god almighty let their be a doflamingo vat of acid scene, Amen

Reminder that Katakuri is in his late 40s

New sub❤

I wanna shout out my man Kizaru

lol tommyinnit audio

Hawk eye

Regarding doflamingo, I can’t belly but think that oda based him a little off of Rick flair

Pink = dangerous got it

tommyinnit jumpscare lmfao

I am one of those who hates franky's design. But only for one thing: too big shoulders. It is the only thing that is different from its previous design.

Kuma's design is great, but clearly the best is Gaimon.

Doflamingo is literally Brad Pitt from Fight Club how did you not mention that 😭

Michel Polnareff = doflamingo

Big mom looks like a Karen

6:55 can some one please tell me what manga this is ?

So much amazing stuff to talk about One Piece, and everybody is wasting their times with "predictions" and imaginary scenarios from people who mostly aren't even good writers. I want to know how Oda thinks One Piece will go. He tells us about it, in each chapter. Why would I care about Mr. KZfaqr Nobody guess on someone else's story? Thanks for the video. Now this is interesting. If you think about it, Big Mom is also a sharp critic on our society. Supposedly, there is inclusiveness and tolerance, all races are together, but in the end that "motherly", "affectionate" power is removing life from people and placing it on THINGS! That's just some high level metaphor and stuff. I'd rather talk about the story and it's possible meanings, than listening to a random kid trying to make One Piece better than Oda does. What a silly endeavor...

What are your thoughts on how OP doesn’t exactly have all that much variety for female designs?

3:11 5:27 5:43

The Doflamingo design DEFINITELY comes from Michel Polnareff, the very same Polnareff that gave the Jojo character his name, the signature glasses and pink feathers are on-point, plus the blonde hair

“Noo-clee-are” not “Nooo-q-ler”

1:36 bro i seen a chuckle sandwich clip of this now i cant stop… you just said “nukular” even though it’s clearly spelled and pronounced as “nuclear”. who started this?

while i'm just okay with franky's pt design, don't act like it's an "objective fact" that it looks bad, it's just your opinion

Nah bro their character is not brilliant or badass they look goofy and unique

Doflamingo has feathers because… Flamingo.
