Fun fact: The Latin Spanish dub originally had the opening dubbed for canal 5 (Channel 5 Mexico) and other public channels in LatinAmerica, however in Cartoon Network and 4Kids (via SAP) they used the dubbed version of the rap, the same applies to the first ending, however on public channels there was the same 4Kids censorship, time later on recent reruns of One Piece in both Azteca 7, Bitme and Adult Swim recently, they use a uncut redub but the songs are left in Japanese (but while Azteca 7 and Bitme uses a Spanish localized credits version, Adult Swim uses the Japanese masters)

00:58 To be the greatest pirate the world has ever seen 🥲

Where was this?

bwuhj this is so interesting

1:19

No way…

I guess a full clear version is lost media huh?

1:35 you wanna be my friend WE ARE WE ARE ON THE CRUISE WE are

❤

Pretty cool to think Dan Green (aka Yugi/Atem) narrated this for a few seconds.

What a shame this nice song was not used. What a waste.

This is MUCH BETTER then the 4kids rap opening.

Atem?!

Missed opportunity especially that it’s the same opening as the Japanese version. Better than the 4Kids rap style and it was before the official English version from Funimation dub.

Que qualidade cara

It's all Toei's fault that this wasn't a thing.

Who is the singer? Anyone know?

when this video came out, luffy didnt even have gear secon i belive

1:32….about that.

Did they really forget to censor Smoker's cigars?

0:59 i love this part

Que buena intro de One Piece de 4Kids

The Latin American Spanish dub used this version for their opening before being replaced in later episodes with the rap so if you find a recording of that we could get better quality video but the audio but be in Spanish

Now it's time to set sail For a mystery Don't know where we will go Or what we gonna see ONE PIECE Gotta find a good crew And then I'll work 'em to the bone There's just no time to rest It's all mine and mine alone I always believe'd this is my destiny TO BE THE GREATEST PIRATE THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN If youre not on my side Then you'd better run and hide We'll defend until the end All of our friends ON THAT YOU CAN DEPEND Now it's time to set sail for a mystery Don't know where we will go Or what we gonna see We will never give up the ship or the hunt One hope One dream One day ONE PIECE!!

Feels like something that would happen if there was a blue water dub of one piece

I've tried to transcribe this opening to the best of my abilities, and here's what I've come up with. (A question mark after a line means I'm not sure on the lyrics and have interpreted the lyrics as best as I could.) Opening narration: Narrator: ...king of the pirates. Gol Roger was his name. His very last words drove men to the sea. Gol D. Roger: My treasure? It's yours if you want it. But you'll need to find it first. I left everything I own in one piece. Narrator: This is the legendary age of the pirates. They're heading for the Grand Line, on the greatest treasure hunt ever. Dreams will come true for he who finds One Piece. Song begins: Now it's time to set sail for a mystery. Don't know where we will go or what we're gonna see. One Piece Gotta find a crew, and then we'll work them to the bone. There's just no time to rest. Gotta solve mine, and mine alone. (?) I've always believed this is my destiny To be the greatest pirate the world has ever seen! Move your right and you'll sigh, (?) Anyway you'll get high (?) We'll defend through the end all of our friends. On that you can depend. Now it's time to set sail for a mystery. Don't know where we will go or what we're gonna see. We will never give up. Shoot for the moons. (?) One hope, one dream, one day, One Piece!

This is probably my favorite version of this song!

Other than maybe due to the length of the opening too long, I gotta wonder what they were smoking when they decided to do rap over this gem. Also Patmac brought me here.

All these years later, did we ever get a better upload?

patmac

Patmac brought me here.

4Kids you bastards, why didn't you give us this?! TwT

here comes the PatMac gang! 😀

One piece rap >>>>

It's dificult search this opening in original audio and video hd

Do you have a copy of this in better quality I’d love to get a copy to archive it

Why didn't 4Kids create a separate alternative unit to handle more mature Animé?

Et morsomt øyblikk i denne kampen er når kamera zoomer inn på svensken 5:22 med hockey hjelm som ser ut som om kona har gått i fra han:)).

Det mest imponerende med denne kampen var a t vi klarte å komme tilbake å snu det fra å ligge under 3-1. Ellers så skal vi være ydmyke å takke svenskene for at våre beste spiller får muligheten til å gå den svenske hockey skolen.

I like funimation's version of we are better. The 4kids version doesn't exactly line up with the original translation. But I'll admit Russell Velasquez does quite a good job at sounding like Hiroshi Kitidani. I'd like to see him sing Funimation's We are.

Snart är Norge lika bra som Finland och swedistan bananrepublien i hockey. Tragiskt

So, that must be workprint for 4Kids version of "One Piece"? And that english songs about "We Are" must be workprint? And now, that must be sneak preview of 4Kids version of "One Piece"? Well, that's perfect!!!! Right before the Funimation version of "One Piece" as English version from the original Japanese version!!!

Really, screw that guy that said: hEy WhAt iF wE rEplAcE THE OrIgiNaL sONg Wiht A rAp

Nah, rap is far more memorable.

One Piece 4Kids Rap OR this video?

And to think, this is what we could of gotten in a hypothetical alternate timeline.

.

For some reason, this is better than Funimation to me, I think the lyrics and singer are better.

Even though everyone’s pissed about this version not being used and instead a cringey rap, it would’ve been too similar to the Funimation version and they had to censor it.

Not as good as the original, the official Funi version or Jerry Jewell's interim version, but better than the rap at least.
