Whitebeard brought the whole hood, and the extended family as well, because they gotta stick together. It's all about family for this guy.

"This man has the power to destroy the world" Well... Good thing it's in the hands of someone responsible that won't try to do so... Right, guys?

12:15 Actually, Whitebeard's given name is Newgate, while his family name is Edward. In world of _One Piece_ the names are written in "family name - given name"-order, which is also used in Japan. Also, Gura Gura Fruit(Whitebeard's Devil Fruit that makes him Quake Human, gura gura being Japanese onomatopoeia for shaking movement) explains Whitebeard's laughter style, "Gurarararara". 35:49 Magu Magu Fruit, actually. Fun fact: some Devil Fruit names were revealed through SBS, and Magu Magu Fruit is one of those fruits.

"who the f*** is fighting with a pitchfork?" I mean, Ussop's out there fighting Warlords with a slingshot, so...

"We all have someone problematic we like in the fictional world" Biggest Azula fan just kept eating his food pretending it wasn't directed at him

God, I love Little Oars Junior. For how little he appears he has such a good character

Edward is what many people thought was the real-life Blackbeard's first name and Newgate is the name of a prison in London.

In fairness to Sengoku, desk work can be stressful AF. By the end of it I think anyone would be down to throw hands with any mf that's open for takers.

Just so you know, cannons are super inaccurate on the first shot, so it is a common tactic to intentionally miss so you can more easily correct the aim of the next shot

Little Oars Jr. is a distant descendant of the Oars the Strawhats faced. That Oars was from ancient times. Hogback found him frozen in ice.

Alicia's trauma was real, asking Kizuru to please sit back down but that was just a taste for what's to come. She hasn't seen trauma yet.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Mythical Zoan types are the coolest devil fruit variety.

13:07 Kizaru always looks so stoned, I love it 😂

21:30 we also know that kaido was supposed to come to marinefort to fight whitebeard but shanks interrupted him. Shanks is currently on clash with kaido as per news on Navy.

Alicia, lava and magma are literally the same thing. The only difference is, respectively, one is above ground, and the other is below.

Just to point this out but hawk eye doesn’t actually try this entire fight. He’s just messing around and taking a few serious shots here and there but for the most part doesn’t care all that much. He’s just here to test the waters. We still haven’t seen him go all out

Every Admiral is based on one of Odas favorite actors, Akainu is Bunta Sugawara, that's also where his real name Sakazuki comes from

We go by traditional Shonen rules out here. If a character is implied to be very strong yet hasn't shown up yet, chances are they're gonna be broken just by power creep alone, Lmao

So fun fact, we've seen akainu before. He's the captain in robin's flashback that orders the evacuation ship to be destroyed.

I mean if Whitebeard is going to go rescue Ace then he has no choice but to act like it was his order that caused it. Otherwise what we are talking about is Ace disobeying a direct order, deserting the ship without permission, and then getting captured on his own. We had an entire arc on why you cannot be doing that (Water 7) so it makes sense here to jump in front of it.

THE ONE PIECE IS REALLLL

27:00 beautiful reaction to Kizaru getting up

It’s actually well worth mentioning the fleet admiral is far more stressed reporting bad news to their higher ups than being in an actual war

Whitebeard has the title of the strongest man. So in the Ace flashback when he says he want's to fight the strongest man Shanks assumes he is talking about Whitebeard. Who is actually stronger, who knows?

When it comes to liking characters from both sides I just let the plot do its thing. The writing was done well enough to make the viewer appreciate it entirely. Yeah there's obvious bias in hoping one side wins but you can still appreciate the opponents. You'll find new favorite characters here. Lots of unexpected moments too. The arc is among the top for fans for a reason.

Thanks Square-Head Akainu, from preventing Alicia from crying. On a serious note yeah that's why Ivankov was worried about Luffy going to this war, it's literally a different scale. Also yeah cool characters on both sides, I think my only thoughts were "they gotta rescue Ace" and "What's going to happen?". It's a very amazing arc.

Keep in mind Alicia. In future episodes, and I'm talking future future episodes, recaps may not appear which mean that important detsils of the episode start at the beginning.

Marco is not a logia. A fruit can not be two types. Kizaru's attack hit Marco. Marco just healed himself, because that is what phoenixes do.

18:14 I sat there going "WHEN'S LUFFY GONNA JOIN?!?!?!?!?! ;-;" worried about him fighting all the people he's got no chance against.

When Alicia finds out she has just been minimizing how bad Doflamingo is lol.

2:05 I died at that...

A piece of shit is the nicest thing a reactor has ever called Doflamingo

Little Oars Jr. would be the grandson, minimum, based on the Roman Numerals III(3) on the flag.

Yeah, they strong, that's why this was called the War of the best

There's a couple of Devil Fruits here whose names aren't mentioned outside of the SBS, so in that situation, I'll do the bio when they first show up. Devil Fruit Bios: 67: Unknown, likely Inu Inu no Mi: Model Dalmatian Ability: User can partially or completely transform into a dalmatian 68: Gura Gura no Mi Translated Name: Tremor Tremor Fruit/Quake Quake Fruit Name Origin: 'Guragura', Japanese onomatopoeia for loose and irregular movements, including shaking during an earthquake Ability: User can create any kind of quakes; considered the 'strongest Paramecia' Bonus Fun Fact: Whitebeard's laugh is based on his Devil Fruit (gurarararara) 69: Kira Kira no Mi Translated Name: Twinkle Twinkle Fruit Name Origin: 'Kirakira', Japanese onomatopoeia for 'shining' Ability: User can turn parts of their body to diamonds 70: Tori Tori no Mi: Model Phoenix Translated Name: Bird Bird Fruit: Phoenix Mode/Bird Bird Fruit: Model Phoenix Name Origin: 'Tori', Japanese for 'bird' Ability: User can partially or completely transform into a phoenix Bonus Fun Fact: This is the first mythical Zoan fruit properly introduced in the series 71: Magu Magu no Mi Translated Name: Mag Mag Fruit Name Origin: 'Maguma', Japanese pronunciation of the English word 'magma' Ability: User can create and transform into magma Bonus Fun Fact: Technically it should be called the Lava Lava Fruit, as the only difference between magma and lava is that magma is underground and lava is above ground 72: Poke Poke no Mi Translated Name: Pocket Pocket Fruit Name Origin: 'Pocketto', Japanese pronunciation of the English word 'pocket' Ability: User can pull objects out of hammerspace pockets all over their body Bonus Fun Fact: If the Straw Hats who hadn't eaten Devil Fruits got to eat them, this is what Oda would've given Usopp 73: Unknown, likely Kumo Kumo no Mi Ability: User can partially or completely transform into a spider

I was like "YOOOOO WHITEBEARD DID SOMETHING!" "YOOOO SMOKER DID SOMETHING!"

I have to say something thing to Alicia in defense of the cannoneers. You shouldn't think of the cannons that they use as sniper guns or hunting rifles. They're more akin to muskets. They're smooth bore. The nuzzles don't have the rifling that you would need to make them super accurate. This is why they need to shoot a lot of them. I've always kind of liked the fact that the cannons in this anime are more like real ones than other shows or movies. At the same time, this makes those people who are spot on with shots, even more amazing in the anime. 😎

The thing is Mihawk *IS* almost at Whitebeard levels, the only reason he's not an Emperor is because the warlord title basically let him do whatever he wanted without any responsibilities. Emperors hold a lot of political power and a few islands each, Mihawk simply couldn't care less about anything except finding people who are good at swords and the occasional errand is easier than fighting/running from the navy 24/7.

Mihawk is secretly at the level of a Yonko! He's likely top 5 strongest currently in the verse

The 4 emperors are white beard,shanks, kaido and big mom. We learned this from Garp at water 7

Little Oars Jr. is just a little guy here to save his good friend!

41:11 Oda has actually said in a release about what Devil Fruits some of the Straw Hats that don't have any yet, that he'd want Usopp to have that Pocket-Pocket fruit, it'd be very useful for all of the things he uses and carries 😅

I like how the commanders can easily defend against the Admirals and Warlords, like ain't NOBODY even touching Whitebeard, the literal walking natural disaster🔥

I’ve NEVER been this early before! Lovin the One Piece binge, can’t wait for you to catch up. Much Love from NY ❤

"I"m so sorry Mihawk, I love you, I think you are the best swordsman I've currently seen at least.........it's not even close". No, Mihawk IS THE STRONGEST SWORDSMAN. Mihawk is easily at Whitebeard's level, he is just sandbagging really hard in this arc.

She really doesn't know how strong mihawk is definitely one of the top 3 in this arc

SHE HAS MADE IT TO THE BEST ONE PIECE ARC LETS GO

The episode where Alicia finds out what it means to be a yonko crew

Whitebeard’s laugh is the Japanese onomatopoeia for stuff shaking, which is a slight hint towards his powers before you even see them.

Just letting you know, I got an only fans advertisement entirely in Norwegian while watching this video, no idea why, but I thought you'd appreciate that for how odd it is

Magu-Magu no mi Magma-Magma Fruit Logia Type

It's insane behavior that you think it's insane behavior for a pirate to bring a pitchfork to an all-out war🤣. Pirates don't give a damn and choose whatever weapon they want. ZEHAHAHAHA.

Not Alica looking at the Pocket Pocket fruit guy and going "See, men's pockets." LOL

Fun Fact: Little Oars Jr is the grandson the the Oars zombie from Thriller Bark... we have not seen his dad yet.

They way Mihawk put away his sword after that attack like: ...nah, not gonna go there.

Alicia: SMORES WHITEBEARD: Birthday Cake ME: GIANT SPICY MEAT BALL XD

I am actually pretty sure whitebeard devil fruit is one of the earliest example we got of devil fruit but it's just a rumor back then

"I just want to see a good f*ckin fight" That's exactly my reaction.

I remember when this arc was week to week, I used to go into the school library at lunch to watch pirated versions of each episode or read each chapter the day it came out. This was also when I had to switch to the manga because the wait was killing me with the anime.

17:00 The old iron cannonball cannons have really bad accuracy at long distance. You have to shoot hoping to get hit close to the target then adjust your aim based on where the shot landed.

Imagine you're a normal human marine being given a rifle and ordered to fight in a war with literal demigods that can destroy mountains with the wave of their hand 💀

Yes alicia, he doesn't like paperwork, but he'll kick ass for free

Whitebeard is all about FAMILY

As far as pockets goes, Style Theory kicked off with a deep dive into the why of Womens vs Mens pockets, also there was a video entitled "When Men had too many pockets, which looked into how over the top pockets used to get, including an example of a gentleman in a coat with tails turning around and bending over so a vendor could fill the tails pockets with peanuts, only to shift into a loony toons style gag when he saw someone he knew approaching and didn't want to be seen in that posture.

White Beard and his family are, without exaggeration, THE GOATS!!!

22:06 each of the current four emperors has the claim to being "the strongest". you'll understand more later, but whitebeard's title of "strongest man in the world" is very deliberately worded. at this point in the manga, we know what three of their titles are and we can guess what the fourth is.

Not gonna lie... Sengoku got one of the most stressful jobs in the world. It gets highlighted later, but yeah mans has no sweat when it comes ot facing down pirates that's how he climbed the ladder to get to the top. He and Garp were the main two marines who were going after Roger... but when you gotta hear all the bullshit that's going on around the world and it's on you to try and keep everything together while dealing with all the bullshit from the World Nobles and their demands yeah you be sweatin!

When I was watching this arc, every ep was like "holy shit, what happens next?" Seesaw back and forth between characters I like fr

I think Whitebeard's laugh is the only hint about his devil fruit before it's shown off. Guraguragura is the onomatopoeia for earthquakes and shaking.

In regards to Whitebeard's name, in real life the pirate attributed with that title also had the name Edward Newgate. same for Blackbeard being Marshal Teach, and for all the others that have real life counterparts like Kid. Oda did his research.

Whitebeard knows more about family than Fast and Furious.

Now that the name of Whitebeard's devil fruit has been revealed: His laugh is gurarararara because he has the Gura Gura No Mi

Do not underestimate how difficult the navy paperwork is. Even the toughest marines would be bound behind their desk if they had Sengokus job.

Apparently that's only Mihawk basic attack and Current Mihawk definitely wins against old Whitebeard who got weaker so much from all the disease he had

Whitebeard's laugh, "Gurarararara" is a play on his Devil Fruit: The Tremor-Tremor fruit or Gura-Gura no mi

Alicia, there is nothing wrong with liking a good villain, and you have 0 idea the menace Doflamingo is yet. Same as there's nothing wrong with loving The Joker in Batman. You don't need to keep making excuses 😂

41:28 Literal Hammerspace 😂

Papa Wolf pulling up with the whole gang. xD Again, my favorite character.

Don't forget that the implication is that, while Garp hunted Roger, Sengoku hunted Whitebeard

She talks about Doffy wonder how she’ll feel when she realizes that man’s bucket list is the Geneva Accords

Oars Jr. is one of the MVPs of the war. This just started and it's at high epicness. Nobody's ready.

Fun fact: Whitebeard is said to have the power to destroy the world because him setting off a quake in the right spot could cause a chain reaction of them that would rock the entire planet. He could singlehandedly reshape the planet while killing Billions.

God, this arc. Was absolutely a 'We want Ace to be saved and all, but we also wanna see Smoker and Garp and the Admirals and shit be badasses too' sort of feeling for like everyone when it first came out in the manga, at least. Hypest fuckin arc.

finally caught up with Alicia's One-Piece reactions, let's go!!!

sengoku is actually a really good fleet admiral cuz he has experience, knows a lot and is a tactician + he's strong as well

Mihawk aint scared of diamond jozu lmao

Mihawk flicks his sword and the entire battlefield stands still.

Magma and lava are the same things. The only difference is magma is its name before it erupts. Both mean molten rock.

28:10 Kizaru: Chipichipi no chapachapa Whitebeard: Oi oi, Dubidubi dabadaba ja ne ga

I just noticed this and is gives you a hint about the admirals' relationship. You have Akainu sitting in the middle with his leg crossed showing he is superiority. Kizuru sitting on the right side while also sitting with his legs crossed (just like Akainu) showing how he follows orders. Finally, you have Aokiji sitting on the left with his legs open showing how he is different from the other two.

FYI. A pitchfork in the right hands is far more useful than a sword. Spears are favored for their reach and keeps swords away. A pitch fork can catch a sword and be manipulated

Matineford is what happens when you're watching the first tournament of Dragon Ball, and suddenly someone throws you into Dragon Ball Super Broly. The backlash of powerscalling is insane

the mocking of kizaru will never get old, lol.

Wars are like that. People that you love on both sides and don't know whos going to die but all you know that it's more likely going to be the ones you love

35:08 I have never heard a more accurate description of Akainu. Kudos.

Mihawk is 100% stronger than Whitebeard lmao

As powerful as Whitebeard is by himself, his true power lies in his ability to rally together the most cracked crew in the entire world. Whitebeard doesn't even have to raise a hand against foes we thought were the biggest and baddest there was; his crew is tough enough to handle them one on one.

this is whitebeard SICK he's old imagine what he was like back in his prime

Everything fkn changes with the Mythical Zoan fruits. They are Zoans that basically have either Logia or Paramecia (or maybe even BOTH) powers added on to it. The possibilities man...

funnily enough the three admirals face is based by the great actor of Bunta Sugawara, Kunie Tanaka, and Yusaku Matsuda.
