the reason why Opening 25 is shorter is because they brought back the endings hehe

That shot of Luffy just laughing in opening 25 is the most precious thing ever, still brings me tears of joy every time i see it. And it hits that much more when you have the context. Hope you'll get there someday. We'll be waiting for you in the Land of Wano. Come at any cost!

9:23 "His Smile is contagious." That is actually how Luffy's new form is described in-story. "Makes everyone smile."

5:36 "I have a feeling that's what most of the One Piece show is about, the power of friendship." Not as much as you'd think, actually. It does have one of the best group of recurring friends and interactions, with heartfelt moments and character development, but oddly enough (without spoiling plot) most of the show's larger themes revolve around history, corruption, power, governing, and terrorism/anarchy.

In opening 25, it depicts a journal. The journal's author draws a circle. There is a word in Japanese, "Nakama". When translated literally it means "Inner Circle" it basically encompasses the concept of extended family. In each of the flashing images there is a circle of some kind. The writer of the journal is writing about his "Nakama".The character in black silhouette at the end is the writer and the camera zooms out from his eye.

It's not the last arc, but this arc has definitely being the *LONGEST* arc so far and has been one of the most anticipated arcs in the manga, the author has been building up to it for an entire decade and it covers 149 manga chapters (4 real life years) And after the current arc in the manga there's gonna be one we have been waiting for *SINCE 1999*

"The Breathtaking World of One PIece" is definitely a video that is a real treat to watch. It shows off the amazing world that Oda has crafted.

Sanji/Luffy/Jimbei would all be monks. Nami would be a storm sorcerer. Brook the bard. Zoro fighter. Chopper would be some sort of druid. Robin would be arcane trickster rogue. Usopp ranger. Franky artificer.

Luffy is kinda unique, you can see him like both a Monk and a Barbarian/Fighter, also the new guy Jimbei is pretty much a Paladin

So fun fact: the voice of the dragon, Kaido, is voiced by the same actor for Shenron.

I cried during opening. The final saga is nearing, and I really wish I'd started watching sooner. Only a few months and the anime only watchers will start heading toward the One Piece. How bittersweet.

Yeah, Opening 25 hit me in the feels massively. Been following One Piece since 2004, this opening just makes me smile at how far Luffy has come, and how happy he is

Opening 25 hits really deep. As a long time fan I can't put into words the emotions I feel when I listed to that opening. I laughed and cried (tons) from this anime. Truly a masterclass in storytelling.

all the scenes from opening 25 was only from one arc lmao! well tbf that arc has been ongoing for almost 4-5 years in the anime but the finale of the climax will end this sunday! 🤣 (sep 10)

Most of my RL memories connected with One Piece are things like "Oh, I was so depressed when I hit this arc. I don't know how I would have survived without these guys." There's some deep dark stuff that happens in this show, but everyone is so full of love, life, laughter, and joy. It's hard to describe what One Piece is to anyone who hasn't watch it. It's an adventure, that's for sure, but it's also a life philosophy about overcoming hardship and finding happiness.

Back in November 2002, my mom worked at GameStop, and she got me a copy of the very first issue of Shonen Jump that had just come in because she knew I liked watching Dragon Ball Z and figured this was something I'd like. That was my introduction to One Piece, about 2 years before the anime even started airing in America. I haven't always kept up to date with where the series is, but I've never forgotten it, and I always pop back in every now and then to see what's going on with it. It's been a part of my world for a little over 2/3 of my life now, and it's amazing to see someone looking at it with fresh eyes.

These are the two best openings in the entire anime and nothing will change my mind

The Wano arc has been going on since around 2019 for Anime watchers and 2018 for Manga readers so we've been in this arc for 4 years lol. Opening 25 really hitting hard in the feels.

The Peak definitely hit me in the feels

the new crewmate has been a recurring character since right before the time skip, he befriended luffy and ace and has just been that guy who gives you a lot of tough love to help you grow as a person, he's also one of the strongest members of the crew since he can fight on multiple terrains ie land and sea and he joins the crew as their helmsman

glad that you heard the fan outcry in regards to skipping, One Piece is a journey and you would miss so much by skipping, filler is ok to skip if you wish though, no problem with that, except not to skip G8, because that is a filler arc that is practically canon. in the last video you said you like character exploration, well there's a TON of that, even with characters who ARE NOT among the Straw Hats. Oda created a world full of real(ish) people with motivations, dreams, backstories and more. the only thing that One Piece is missing is Romance, if it had that, it would have EVERYTHING.

Opening 25 hit me in the feels for sure. I have watched this show for 16 years or so. There was only about 350 episodes when I started (which I binged in 2 weeks, lmao).

Opening 25 is one of the best anime songs I have ever heared, no it’s the BEST opening in Anime, the song and the story behind is so great and yeah it hit me very hard

Im really happy to see you enjoying your first intro into one piece with the ops. I cant wait for when you slowly start going through the anime at your pace and seeing your reactions to all these wonderful and memorable moments we love. There is nothing better for a one piece fan to see than a person diving into the world of one piece and we always want more people to enjoy it. Thank you for the great video!

Heads up, the live action ep 4 has a spoiler for the Anime 313, but fuck it am I right? Edit: Heads up, you still cry a lot, you'll laugh too, but will definitely cry. So have Tissues ready. By the time we get to Sanji. :-)

I actually follow a TikToker who actually is going over one piece as if it’s a dnd campaign

The Wano arc (current) is by far the longest arc in One Piece. 186 episodes so far, and it is quite a spectacle. Also very high budget for its animation as it goes on. It's crazy.

LaliHo!!! Thanks for the One Piece opening reactions!

15 years of watching and reading one piece and so many emotions culminated on opening 25 for me, we are nearing the end of the adventure

Opening 25 definitely hit me so much different. It's just....gawd I'm so happy to be an OP fan, hope you enjoy the journey too someday

make sure you watch the new ending, it's the first one we've had in 17 years.

In that last vid my heart almost stopped when you mentioned certain arcs you wanna watch. Glad you will not skip. Love the reactions so far.

To get that white form he was assisted by his enemy, by sending him to death two times 😂😂

Last one is shorter because they brought ending song back. First time since pre-timeskip.

Opening 25 always brings a tear to my eye because it's so nostalgic and emotional best arc ever

I love opening 25. The arc-location has suffered for 20 long years, trapped by their own past, and so having the flashback scenes confined in the circle just for Luffy to break through in a flash to have this big montage of happy times to represent the future. Wano-Kuni's long night is over with a shining dawn.

In one piece if you die you die you will never come back oda said it himself that he hates when they do that just don’t kill them on the first place

Definitely about friendship but sooo much more that’s why the show is so good because no matter who you are or what you like there will 100% be a theme in the show you you will like

After watching someone that had no clue about anything, and not discovering any plot points even after watching the 25 openings, you discovering even things that are not easy to see or understand by the openings is amazing

2:20 Correct assumption, but it's not just a town, it's a whole country.

Blue guy is a character who has been flirting with joining the crew for like 500 episodes lol

25 is such a bopper !! 🎶

I feel like Luffy is an unarmed Ranger. (Not morally obviously but, that kid of makes sense to me for me.)

10:15 it literally made me start crying idek why because i dont cry easily for this kind of stuff 😭 i love luffy sm he makes me smile too

That person you keep calling a dragon is, in fact, a fish.

GIRL YOU DON'T EVEN know this arc was like 5 YEARS LONG.

Straw hat D&D classes if I were making them: Luffy is like a pure monk, big punching but hard to replicate his stretchy range. May still pump strength Zoro can easily be made as a fighter, no need to complicate things. Swords. Usopp is hard, some kind of weird ranger/artificer hybrid could do it though. Sanji too is definitely a monk but I kinda want to say he has some paladin levels and the DM lets him smite with his feet. Nami is straight-up a wizard. I've never seen a character that is more a wizard than her in media with this little magic. She has a staff and casts lightning bolt. Chopper... I mean I don't want to make everyone a monk but he's a hand-to-hand combatant without anything else one could call magic. Maybe a little cleric to represent the medicine. Robin has such a weird and specific thing going on I would struggle to make her. Best I can think of is make her a wizard but pick spells that one could flavor as her devil fruit ability. Franky has artificer vibes, but hear me out: warlock. He has a forceful personality for that high charisma, his weaponry could easily be spells, and he draws power from an unusual source. Brook has bard vibes and it would be simplicity itself to make a revenant bard that is literally just Brook Jinbei is another hand to hand fighter but with his personality and moral code I want to say he's all paladin and the DM already allows unarmed smites for Sanji.

One Piece of story with thousand history. the journey feels so real

"One Piece vs Dragonball" The manga authors of both did actually draw a little one shot crossover between both series.

Starting from opening 7 the anime never had an ending song, so they made the openings almost 2 mins long but 3 or 2 weeks before opening 25 ending songs returned.

can't wait for you to see the live action review...

5:36 the main theme of this show is actually about freedom. There are a lot stuff like government conspiracy, corruption, dictatorship, slavery, etc.

I remember first watching op 25 i actually teared up a bit

onepiece is about FREEDOM, PEAK SHOW DONT SKIP ANY EPISODES ENJOY THE SHOW AT UR OWN PACE

Luffy is a Monk Zoro is a Barbarian Nami is a Wizard Usopp is a Ranger Sanji is a Paladin Chopper is a Druid Robin is a Rogue Franky is a Eldritch Knight Fighter (or Armorer Artificer) Brook is a Bard Jinbei is a Cleric I feel like you could make an argument for Chopper and Jinbei switching classes but that's just what I feel lol

We have our awakened sun god running across the title

"Is the dragon the captain?" Eeyep. Kaido, king of beasts, with the dragon devil fruit.

Love the new ending! Luffy jumps out of the book for those who didn't notice.

"I remember that Episode it made me cry" x1000

Luffy - Monk Zoro - Fighter Sanji - Monk Nami - Wizard Chopper - Cleric Robin - Fighter (spec into grappling) multiclass into Rogue (sneak attack ;p ) Usopp - Ranger Franky - Fighter multiclass into Ranger Jinbe - Fighter multiclass Sorcerer (for the bloodline) Brook - Bard

The collage at the end btw isnt scenes from the whole series, its all of the important moments from this arc "wano" its been the longest arc in the anime and the end of a 10 year plot point. The collage really hits hard knowing we are wrapping one of the most iconic arcs in not just one piece but anime in general

I’m not sure if this is a spoiler or not (I don’t think it is) so I’ll just give it a *SPOILER* tag just in case. The collage at the end of op 25 is just a collage of scenes from the current arc that has been going on since 2018.

i would love to see your react to this anime despite its length. I am not a regular viewer and have a hard time paying attantion to streams but one piece is so good i would try xD haha

Luffy- Barbarian (Path of Berserker, Unarmed Focus) Zoro- Fighter (Champion) Nami- Rogue/Cleric (Thief/Tempest Domain/Worships God of Berry) Usopp- Ranger/Druid/Artificer (Hunter/Circle of Land/Artillerist) Sanji- Paladin (Oath of protecting women, never wasting food, and never using his hands to fight) Chopper- Druid/Cleric (Circle of Moon/Life Domain/Worships Cotton Candy) Robin- Wizard/Rogue/Bard (School of Conjuration/Assassin/College of Lore) Franky- Artificer (Armorer) Brook- Bard (College of Swords) Jinbe- Monk (Way of the Open Hand)

just love how she noticed that the dragon turned into a person in that small image, but not when the person transformed into the dragon in the past like 2 or 3 openings lol.

As a one piece fan the opening made me emotional

we finally got a new ending paired with the last opening,i recommend it,its really great

basically after this arc the final saga of one piece begins

What do you guys think for Luffy? Barbarian/Monk Multiclass, maybe?

you could say luffys cloud form was "assisted" but not in the way your thinking of

I think the thing with Luffy is he does punches, and in certain ways, Lyse is very much like Luffy, including wearing red

7:18 no way she said new character 😂😂 man your funny😂

There's actually a one piece DND campaign I've seen a different ppl do it on KZfaq look up one instead of a regular party they have them separated into crew positions like NAVIGATOR, HELMSMAN, SHARPSHOOTER, COOK, DOCTOR, MUSICIAN, SHIPWRIGHT, FIRST MATE, ARCHEOLOGIST/ SPY, and CAPTAIN it's cool if u like DND

the collage of photos/scenes at the end of op 25 are just from the wano arc

watching op made me realize that instead of "power of friendship" its "F around and find out"

Its not Power of Friendship, but rather dreams and realizing those dreams together. Also that is mentioned else where here, found family. The Pillars of One Piece is Humour, Tragedy, Conspiracy/History, Liberation and Action. This is a show that will make you cry multiple times in pretty much every arc and you only get that gut punch by watching it from the start.

Little note, the dragon is actually a guy that can turn into a dragon haha

One Piece is beyond power of friendship. It's the love of a found family.

The first time I saw opening 25, I cried. It's really a long journey until the nakama can get here

ok last video i commented watching a vtuber react to anime openings was redundant but since listening to the commentary and hearing you nail so much of the plot off openings, ive since developed some character grown and changed my mind

Everyone says don’t skip but I feel like you can fast forward through the fight scenes unless you genuinely enjoy fight animes. Everything else is really important to the plot but you can genuinely fast forward though fight scenes. You shouldn’t skip anything else though because there’s so much lore. I would say after the water 7 you probably can’t skip the fight scenes anymore because it’s when Luffy starts getting creative and accidentally learning haki. Also I chuckled a little at calling Yamato sexy, they’re a canonically an afab trans man.

Luffy = Monk/Fighter Zoro = Fighter Nami = Wizard Usopp = Ranger/Druid Sanji = Monk/Fighter Chopper = Cleric/Druid Robin = Warlock/Sorcerer Franky = Artificer Brook = Bard/Warlock Jimbei = Monk/Fighter

One Piece is an adventure well worth undertaking. It is a beautiful, heartfelt story. Subbing to stay updated :) (also your vtuber model is gorgeous and very well made), Luffy would be a bare fist fighter or monk by far. (Dnd anime nerd here)

We are ready to set sail to find one piece

I cried at the latest opening

There are rumors that the real "One Piece" will start after the conclusion of the Wano Kuni arc (the one we are on). At least that's what it seems like in the manga

I love your reaction on opening 25🤧

the collage you saw was for only one arc

The new guy is jinbe and if you think Sanji is a monk, wait till you see him work. And Luffy is for sure an unarmed fighter.

The “collage” is only the arc with the dragon and not the whole anime😂

OP is more of a willpower thing rather than the power of friendship (but I guess it still applies a bit).

if she's going to watch one piece then i cant wait for her to react to the current hype

First time watching the new opening

Luffy would likely multiclass, but I could see him as a Paladin. Just personality wise. With his god being about freedom. I mean build wise he'd be something like a monk/barbarian.

The white haired person (dragon girl) is actually a Trans man named Yamato. He was born female, decided to take after his childhood hero, and it's made pretty clear that they go by He/Him now, so that's neat! They just look like a woman because it's a feudal Japan island in a Pirate world, so HRT is a bit hard to really come by. It genuinely feels like this is one of those times where Oda was way ahead of the curve on representation. So be prepared for people to argue no matter how you address them, because, for some people, the canon of the series isn't good enough for them to buy a Trans man existing in a world full of giant monsters and supernatural powers.

When you eat a devil fruit you lose the ability to swim as the water makes you weak and paralyzes you so you end up drowning like a hammer. Half of Luffy's crew are devil fruit users. The new blue guy is a Fishman meaning they now have coverage on water and underwater.

GODA 🔥 👑 🛐

luffy is a capitain, a class from valdas spiral of secrets

its power of will, who told you power of friendship?

Luffy is 100% a barbarian
