The fact that Kuma learned every single one of them and decided himself where they should go based on their skills/capabilities really shows that Kuma really knows a lot about Straw Hat.

This ep still makes me cry years later, I hate seeing luffy in pain 😭

EDITED: When this chapter was published, we were going NUTS lol

Some character ages for context: Shanks - 37 years old Aokiji - 47 years old Kizaru - 56 years old Whitebeard - 72 years old Garp - 76 years old Rayleigh - 76 years old

Y’all wanted Luffy to punch that celestial, we knew the repercussions 😂😂

I feel like devi was so shocked at what was going on she didn't even have time to cry when luffy was breaking down lol

As a wise man once said The world is not in peace if Luffy ain't smiling 🥲

A necessary turning point for the Strawhats ~ It’s a reality check for them

ODA foreshadowing Kuma's backstory("We will never meet again" - Kuma to Luffy)

You don’t know how lucky you are that you get instant resolution to this event. Reading week to week this chapter made me depressed for a while

the recent chapters make this hit even harder

7:06 "I thought we were going to Fisherman Island." Everybody at this point in time thought the same thing 😂

no matter how often see this, i will always cry 😢seeing Luffy so much just breaks my heart

Literally me bawling my eyes out again! This episode when I first saw it hurt so much. I felt so sad for Luffy. When Kuma sent Zoro it was shocking. The ones that hurt the most that he sent were Chopper and Robin. Omg… my heart just broke the first time I watched it. Oh and when he was just banging his head on the ground in despair. Omg I can’t😭

Just imagine the emotional torture Luffy must be going through, just watching his nakamas disappear one by one and he can't even do anything about it. Kuma made sure that he saw everything. He just showed Luffy that he still has a long way to go in terms of power and strength, that he's nowhere near ready for the New World, and that there are plenty of enemies he can't defeat as he is now, therefore, his lack of strength hinders him from protecting his dear friends. I swear, this episode is one of Mayumi Tanaka-san's best performance in the entire series. 👏🏻 Voice acting on point!

I definitely crying every time! Even when I know Kuma was saving them! 😭😢

And believe it or not, this heartbreaking moment is the mere _prelude_ to what's about to come.....

This is that episode that even if you're watching it at three in the morning already sleepy, you tell yourself, I have to watch the next one now.

This episode is so nostalgic to me because this was the episode where I finally caught up with the One Piece anime and goddamn what an episode to be caught up with lol. I was watching One Piece since like 2002 but in our country, the anime only goes to Skypea Arc only. I always thought at that time that the anime is up to Skypea only but it wasn't until I started watching anime AMV's in KZfaq in late 2007 when I stumble upon Luffy using Gear 2nd vs Blueno. I was one of those kids who rents a PC in a comshop to watch anime AMV on repeat in KZfaq with videos like Naruto vs Sasuke, Ash vs Gary, Luffy vs Lucci etc. It was the GOLDEN AGE OF ANIME AMV lol. Watching those AMV made me want to catch up to all the anime that I've been watching to in our local tv BUT due to the internet being so slow at that time it took me YEARS to catch up haha. I remmeber the next episode after OP 405 was a filler too so I was like "Is this really the end?", "Will the story shift focus on another crew" etc etc. haha what a time. It was just weeks after when I decided to READ the MANGA and caught up just literally at the end of an arc and at the start of what I consider the greatest One Piece arc of all time haha. Talk about TIMING! Haha

Man talk about an insane episode. I remember being in total shock when I first saw this episode. That Rayleigh kick stopping Kizaru attack was epic. Great voice acting on the one who does Luffy voice like you can truly hear their pain when Luffy is panic and scared. But man to see Luffy pleading and begging for to not have his crew be taking from him was difficult to watch. Especially seeing his greatest fear came true. As well failing to do the one job that he has been good at. Which is protecting his crew. And now he's back to being alone like the very beginning of the show. This episode just showed the Strawhats has gotten stronger but it wasn't enough. In which showed they wasn't ready for the "New World". And you may ask yourself how worst can it get from this point moving forward? You have no idea. But anyway great reaction\commentary you two and I hope the rest of your day is enjoyable. Stay safe, take care and stay amazing JD Anime 2.

LOL. Who remembers Nami asking for help for the 1st time...

remember what Geko Moria said? ... not ready for the new world, ... we underestimated that ...

Throughout the series, the Straw Hats faced foes after foes. In the beginning, they blew their enemies away easily, but as they progressed, their victories became narrower and narrower. Their enemies were stronger but they weren’t much stronger. Their last victory was practically luck. And now they faced their first complete defeat. Luffy just got a nasty reality check. Thankfully it didn’t happened at the hands of the Navy directly or it would all be over.

Finally you guys are reacting to this episode and it’s on my birthday today! How awesome :)

Kuma's backstory is gonna be one of the saddest. I know it

I can't wait for the truth 🐻🐾

Imagine not knowing what will happen in the next episodes and how many episodes left in One Piece, then you need to wait every week for the new release 😂 Man, we are going crazy in that day.

KUMA bible is like a one piece world encyclopedia its a book were all places are written there REMEMBER when kuma went in trailer bark he ask PERONA were she want to go then perona answer and then kuma open his book to look were is that kind of place then he send perona there

Now imagine you were watching this at the time it was released and after that episode.... A month break 👍 They straight up toying with us

When this chapter was released I literally cry .

Next couple of arc is gonna be crazy guys :)

I love the way you'd guys create theories

in the manga at the end when the narrator was talking it said 'eradicated' instead of "suffered a complete collapse" but in the anime they took a month break after this episode

The pure anger when To Be Continued showed up was a whole vibe

Imagine watching weekly when this episode was released.

Hell that make me cry. That’s begin tragic way on Luffy. I watch next 2 arc only once, becouse I can’t re

The end. Rest are just filler. Thanks for reacting to the series.

How did these guys not cry I was literally balling my eyes out watching it I had to pause it to take a break from crying

Monster Point doesn't have a time limit. It ends until either Chopper's devil fruit powers are disabled or he dies.

5:40 the foreshadowing by oda is insane.

So nostalgic.

when I watched this I thought all of em were dead. knowing I had like 500 episodes incoming didnt matter at all. even now looking back they died in that scene.

I remember I watched first 500 episodes in Dub and in that they haven't revealed that Kuma was sending them flying as sentomaru said. I legit thought he erased them or killed them(although knowing ain't no way they are dying) and didn't saw it as saving

I've been waiting for this upload 👁

I can’t believe my goat woke up one day and said. This mf is taking too many dubs, let’s make him loose and fucking hell did he loose 😂😂

Imagine if it was our tiny chopper crying for luffy when kuma comes for him...

I don't know guys if you realize this, but this is Nami's second 'tasukete' (save me) to Luffy and he can't do anything...

this episode hurts so much

10:28 6:49 Luffy can't fulfill the second 'save me'

imagine waiting for a week for a next episode

GREAT REACTION BOTH OF YOUUUUUUUUUU

You guys forget what Kuma said after thriller bark. In reference to luffys crew and to Dragon

the taste of loss is insane

Damn even though I already know what happened, the crew flashback still makes me cry 😢😂

This moment hits really hard if you’re caught up with the manga

I was too young watching this as a kid. I didn't understand. I thought they all died and then one piece went on a break back then I was crying for weeks

Next Episode: The Saga of Luffy's Journey without his Crewmates 💔

02:38 Kuma poofs px4 05:20 Kuma talks with rayleigh 11:22 Luffy goes poof

I like the other translation better: Grove 12, Sabaody Archipelago. On this day, the Straw Hat pirate crew led by Monkey D. Luffy was completely and utterly defeated.

The consequences of punching a celestial dragon 😢

I watch this episode when it first premiere 😢😂😂 oh it was good times! Not actually knowing what will happen and waiting a long time to see the crew back together 😢

"Farewell... We will never meet again" 💔

When this episode originally came out, there was a 2 weeks of side content for One Piece coming out, so for 3 weeks we had to wait to see what in the hell just happened and get a new episode

I was wondering maybe Luffy Grandfather GARP has something to do with Kama doing this to all the Strawhats.

This Bink’s Sake hurts so much 😭

You want to know something funny? Right after this episode, the Manga and the Anime went into a summer pause for around 3 months. Some people even thought the series ended here lmao

クマは命の恩人ですね。

Aaahhhhhh too painful..... 😢

I am waiting for them to talk on how Kuma said the name Dragon in Thriller Bark. Heheh

Imagine waiting for 2 whole damn weeks after this shiet happend 🗿

You guys finally finish watching One Piece. Congratulations.

And us reading the latest chapters 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

PCx1 needs to be fixed cause that’s obviously not Sogeking

I didn't even have a teary eyes back when I read it, but I ugly cry when I watched the anime, sense Luffy's voice of powerlessness and read "Straw Hat pirates were utterly annihilated"

this chapter was turning point to all SHP crews. After this chapter, they will learn that pirate lifes is not all happy and adventurous. they wil grows.

10:01 devi you are a chopper simp wait for ep 506 he will kill you with cuteness ✨

RIP Strawhats

I wasn't spoiled for this event and holy shit was it a ride.

This is the biggest straw hats defeat 😢

just imagine waiting for the next episode or chapter.....for a week.....in case of chapter a "break"...hellish beyond believe

They said that they hit a celestial dragon, nothing happens, here are the consequences, the jerks thought they were untouchable, don't worry, nothing happens without the protagonists, but I love this part hahaha

I found myself wondering about Kuma's motives here, that is, once I recovered emotionally from this absolute beatdown of an episode. He could literally repel himself to anywhere he wanted to for the purposes of escaping the ramifications of these actions. The fact that he does not ties into the reason why he is a warlord in the first place, I think. That and the fact that he allowed this experimentation on his body by a government affiliated scientist. I think he's been protecting someone or something for quite a long time. I think his backstory may be extremely revelatory, and potentially as tragic as any we've seen to date. Thanks for letting us relive these moments, whether happy or sad, through the eyes of a first-time viewer once again!

even though i already know what happened, this episode was always hard to watch, and luffy breaking down was so heart breaking

Kuma sends them to school

Mvp goes to kuma actually. He saved entired strawhat.

Moria was right They were never ready.

don't forget that Kuma knows Dragon

now imagine the anime onlys who were doing this weekly, it was devastating.

He was still a small fish and they were crushed like a lot of pirate crews before them. The New World is a tough place only for the strongest

Even tho I knew what was happening, my heart couldn't take seeing Luffy like that.

the moment i started One Piece, this was the last episode. Imagine you have to wait 1 week after known what has happened there X_x

kuma's farewell has a different meaning😭😭

so, not so happy now for the punch to the celestial dragon, right? haha great reaction

Fron this point is the biggest turning point in One Piece

imagine being a one piece fan during the release of this chapter lol. i mean we’re sure they’re not gonna die but the emotional wreck was too much.

when the pirate is a one person crew, you know he is broken. ps, kuma's devil fruit is so op that oda need to nerf him

If you go back to Thriller park arc,,,,, after leaving Zoro Kuma said something,,, it will make everything more sense for you

10:00 Ok, for some reason that was so cute.

I remember being aware of One Piece at that time, but I really regret not having watched it... Today I know a lot of what happens but I started a while ago. I just saw this EP. Luffy crying is too sad, even though we know they didn't die

Love the reaction, new subscriber here!
