Badd Medicine here and its One Piece reaction time
One Piece episode 1: Following the execution of famed pirate captain Gold Roger, pirates take to the sea to search for his hidden treasure called the "One Piece". Twenty-two years later, novice pirate Monkey D. Luffy is among those searching for the treasure, and winds up on the pirate ship of the cruel Alvida. He meets her mistreated cabin boy Koby, who desires to join the Marines. Using elasticity powers inherited from eating a Devil Fruit, Luffy defeats Alvida and leaves with Koby. The two head to a Marine base to obtain a map to the Grand Line, a treacherous sea route where the One Piece is located. Near the base in Shells Town, they witness pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro defending a young girl from Helmeppo, the son of corrupt Marine captain Morgan. Zoro is sentenced to hang in the sun for seven days as punishment, but is freed by Luffy, who soon encounters Nami, a cat burglar who is also after the map. After defeating Morgan and his crew, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami depart together with a safe containing the map, while Koby remains behind to enlist with the Marines.

It's a shame that people who watch the live action don't like the characters in the original/anime, that's kind of strange :/

[@GotoMaki4Micah]

@@HellboyBr11 luffy is a lot more insufferable, and sanji is a pervert, zoro is a lot dumber. its not just about the story or else it would not have pictures/ animations. sometimes the art style is hard to look at.

[@kevinAQ0607]

To put it into context. Season One of the live action condenses roughly the first 45 episodes of the anime while taking other elements from later episodes (character introductions/revelations) into a tightly streamlined story.

[@troikas3353]

It is worth noting that because of how the episodes are done, those 45 episodes probably only work out to like 25~ish episodes of actual plot. Especially as you get deeper into an arc, once you take out the opening intro, the starting recap and the end credits there are some episodes of one piece that have like less than 10 minutes of actual story in them and then you have some entire episodes just dedicated to a fight scene.

[@flarpo11]

I would definitely recommend a first-time viewer watch the live action to see if they're interested in the premise. It takes a good ten episodes to get a decent sense of what the anime is gonna be like, just cause of how slow everything moves in the beginning, so the more streamlined introduction works a lot better for getting someone into the series. They basically just made live action OnePace, and I'm here for it.

[@Groovygear]

@@troikas3353 Not really, what you are referencing is something that becomes a problem later down the line when the anime starts to catch up to the manga. The East Blue Saga basicly only have Intro and Outro and minimal episode replay, so at least 18-20 min of actual content per episode. And the "other" 20 episodes are filled with character moments, so it is not "worth nothing". smh

[@heavycritic9554]

The snails are a multi-level pun in Japanese - they're called "den den mushi". "Dendenmushi" is an old name for snail. "Den" can mean both "electric" and "communication", "mushi" means insect, meaning they're called "electric communication insect". And, of course, "moshi moshi" is the traditional, non-formal, way of answering the phone.

[@Vozird]

Also I'm pretty sure they're related to that one French dude that believed that snails were psychic in like the 18th century or something

[@christinawalls6606]

The best thing about the actor for Luffy for me is that the creator of One Piece(which was first a manga, then an anime, and now the live action) said that the actor himself made him laugh and reminded him of the Luffy he created. Oda told Iñaki Godoy(Luffy’s actor) that he could not imagine anyone else playing the role. Inako is genuinely happy and charismatic and positive in his real life as well. He was a perfect fit.

[@eonragnarock2366]

​@rodjacksonx no spoilers, but the only thing I didn't like about the live action was how they portrayed Luffy's physical strength. In terms of raw physical strength Luffy is stronger than Zoro which is weird seeing how scrawny Luffy looks. But I hope you enjoy the journey

[@blackroomred]

my most favorite part was just how much you guys were laughing at the fun bits. one piece at its heart is about adventure and joy and there's a pretty good humor going on with it. the creator also chose the actor for luffy based on how he was able to make him laugh while watching his audition too. so i think it's pretty neat to see new fans coming into the show without knowing anything but right off the bat seeing how the charm of it all works for you guys. real happy to see you picked this up, can't wait to see more!

So one thing you should know, the show follows Japanese convention in naming, with the family name coming before their individual name. So Luffy is the characters name, not Monkey. Also, to the shows pacing, season one follows what’s called the East Blue sage. Overall, its about 45 episodes from the anime, and there is a lot condensed.

Glad you guys noticed how the show goes from lighthearted to serious and back. The story in One Piece later covers a lot of dark themes which are reflections of serious real-world issues, racism, slavery, classism, to name a few, but they also have lighter moments of friendship and laughter that you just cannot get enough of it. Truly one of the greatest stories ever told across all media.

My parents (who can't stand anime as an art form) watched this whole series and really liked it. They especially enjoyed the story, the fight chorography and a lot of the performances (with Inaki's Luffy, Taz's Sanji and Jeff's Buggy being standouts). Overall, this is proof if nothing else that One Piece is a story that not only deserves to be watched in this form but also can be applauded for transcending a medium that whilst I enjoy, can have limitations for some.

His name is Luffy actually. All characters' names go by family name - given name order. And if you like the sword fight scenes, I'd recommend the Rurouni Kenshin movies. Their fight scenes were insane and the actors did their own stunts. Zoro's actor was in one of them.

I'm expecting to see zoro in the next season, cause in this first episode, he is very serious and intense, while in early in the Anime version, zoro kinda starts smiling and having a good time as his connection to luffy and the crew evolves. Also, I want more of the bickering between him and sanji, these two are the best duo 😂 But yeah, great show, great casting (I love how they interpreted Buggy, it's so much fun) and overall a great work, both in costume design, setting, the little and very unique things that only one piece can pull off (like the phone being a snail), just about everything was very well done.

One Piece is one of the greatest stories ever told, the world building and character development are top notch. It's very rare that a manga maintains its quality over 25 years but One Piece has done it. The manga is in the final arc right now and better than ever. The live action show has done a phenomenal job adapting the manga, the characters and their personalities are spot on, the casting is perfect. It made some significant changes to the story but they're all done very well and maintain the spirit if the story while condensing arcs to fit the new medium.

Think of Luffy's stretching like a spring or a rubber band. Once he stretches, the tension to go back to normal increases.

As adaptation goes, this one is pretty good, there are some deviations from the anime/manga, but they make sense in a live action format.

Luffy is one of my favourite characters of all time, his attitude and mannerisms are so entertaining.

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

Man I love much depth Luffy and the crew has. Each flashback helped understand each of these characters. Luffy has so much nuance. He is a decent fighter, sees the good in everyone he meets or at least tries to, but still sees some people are just bad; he is loyal to his friends, his optimism and joy is infectious, and he is determined to help people. I love how each character has different personalities, but their goals match. Koby is shy, but wants to help people which Luffy does too. Zorro is a bounty hunter, but has his own moral code. While he is fine killing bad people, he still protects the innocent which parallels Koby and Luffy. The people Luffy chooses to align with have these good characteristics and moral code and he does not see them from a surface level. He can see past their masks which not many people can do.

I can see the genuine happiness you guys got when watching this show and it seemed really authentic. Thank you guys for being you!!

It’s really cool to see people who have never seen One Piece react to the live action. This is arguably the best live action anime adaptation ever. I’m so happy that One Piece, the bestselling manga and most popular anime of all time, received so much love from Netflix, they really did an excellent job. This first episode was quite lighthearted and fun, but be warned, One Piece is known for its sad and emotional moments and later episodes will get a lot darker. I’m glad you already love this show though and I can’t wait for your reactions to the other episodes! This is going to be an amazing adventure!

[@DaphneBourne]

Watched the first two episodes with you guys and it was a blast! So glad you dive into the OP universe. Now I'm waiting to watch the others with you, too. 💚💪

[@kiamyg.]

As an OP anime fan, I'm feeling the same excitement in a more deeper level since this is a live-action. Currently, the manga/anime is at S20 at 1075 episodes which is more detailed compared to OPLA. So, the S1 is around 60 episodes in summary. Btw, happy to see you guys liking the OPLA! Welcome to the OP world Nakamas' 🥳

So fun fact about this show is that all of the actors did a majority of their own stunts. There is behind the scenes of the training and it's incredible

[@seolarflwr8866]

I've never watched the anime before but I'm obsessed with this live action series! The cast has such good chemistry on and off screen, and according to my brother it's very faithful to the anime/manga

[@Syncphony]

The costume Luffy wears has always been high selling. During anime conventions and halloween. The One Piece anime has a very huge fanbase during its Japanese tv adaption airing in 1999 and the manga (comic) being created back in 1997 by Eiichiro Oda, who helped with the creation of the One Piece live action. The anime is really good and popular, and even though the episode count is too mich, you guys should definitely check out the anime if you want.

[@rarj2]

Anyone else binging OPLA reactions? Nothing makes me happier than seeing new people watching One Piece!

[@Hawkcam1996]

42:27 Actually, the other way around. Koby’s presence is actually expansed in this version. After Romance Dawn(which was the first two or three episodes in the anime, whereas it’s the first episode here, which is three times as long as an anime episode) Koby essentially disappeared from the show for a long time, only appearing in a few episodes here and there, showing what he was up to while Luffy was doing his thing, until he finally came back into the story hundreds of episodes later. He appears much more in the live action version of the East Blue Saga than the anime version since he doesn’t just disappear from the story after Romance Dawn.

[@redTabbyLoveMovies]

Been a fan one piece since I was 10 I'm 27 now this is the best live action of a anime

[@blitzy7961]

If ya'll enjoyed this, ya'll gotta watch the anime or read the manga too. It's amazing

[@diegopansini3152]

The anime is way too slow and the animation art style is in desperate need of a modern anime look update. The live-action is much better to watch so far

[@contendedtea3733]

@@diegopansini3152 not if want the story rushed to the max

[@blitzy7961]

@@diegopansini3152 I disagree. There's a lot of flaws in the LA that people tend to overlook. And while the animation is subpar, the art style is subjective. Just because it's old, doesn't make it bad. The best way to experience OP is the manga, followed by One Pace, but I think anime is fine, albeit flawed. I can definitely see these guys enjoying it

[@KiraMasquerade]

@@diegopansini3152 Oda actually specifically created this art style for One Piece and has refused to "modernize" it for 2 reasons: 1) He wanted it to be different from anything else on the market. In an interview, he said, "It was popular to draw girls with the hair flipped inwards, so I flipped it outwards." Just like Jojo's unique art style is impossible to forget, One Piece's art style sticks with you even if it's jarring. 2) He was determined to ensure he wasn't "riding on other people's coattails" and didn't want to share any blame for failure or credit for success. Whether the series failed or succeeded, it would be due to his own efforts and talent in storytelling. No more, no less. I believe that his art style gives the show the unique freedom to create all the strange creatures, people, and abilities that inhabit this world, as well as the great silliness that comes with it. It has a loony toons quality to it that wouldn't work with, say, the Jujutsu Kaisen art style. It helps immerse you into a whacky world to the point where even seeing a person with two elbows is just like "yeah, ok" which shows how well Oda manages to "sell" the world and unique idiosyncrasies to his audience.

[@banonKING]

To be fair, the move Nami pulled on those pirates happened 5 years before Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean movie since the Japanese manga started in 1997. So the first season of One Piece live action covers the first 50 episodes (which is also close to 100 chapters in the manga). So it's all condensed, but it does a pretty good job of representing everything you need to know about the characters and the world. The manga is the superior version because the creator is an extremely good story teller.

[@Evermore5726]

As a long time One Piece fan, getting to see people who have no idea what One Piece is about getting so excited over this adaptation has really made me so happy. It takes me back to the excitement I felt when I first started watching One Piece all those years ago.

[@RoroRoseD]

Waiting for you guys to react to this!! Extra treat that you all are gonna be reacting to it, awesome!

[@judewashere00]

Been waiting for you guys to react to this! Because this is based on an anime that was based on a manga created by the legend Eiichiro Oda, who is Japanese, you actually will find that the part of the characters names that are said last are actually their first names. That’s why people call Roronoa Zoro, Zoro… and Monkey D. Luffy, Luffy. I absolutely love to see that all four of you are watching this one! I’ve been a fan of one piece for over a decade now and I’m so happy the live-action got the adaptation it deserves, even though there is quite a bit that was changed or left out, it’s done expertly and doesn’t ever feel like it’s done without a reason. As far as I can tell, even from non-anime fans, people don’t have an issue with how speedy it can be. These first 8 episodes cover a good first 45 episodes, give or take a little. Much love to all of you! Been loving all the content! Lord of the rings and Harry Potter is what got me hooked!

[@duckielover151]

It's so fun to watch people go into this so completely blind. The best thing about this adaptation... aside from being one of very, VERY few good live-action anime adaptations... is that it makes the story accessible for a whole new wave of people.

[@HeartlandHunny]

Seeing people who don’t know that Luffy’s a rubber man react to Luffy getting shot and bouncing the bullet back never, ever gets old! I can’t wait to see y’all react to the rest of the season. They did such a great job on this adaptation. And y’all are right, Zoro is always a scene stealer in the manga, anime, and now in the live action. 😂 Plus, I’ve yet to see anyone watch this and not be immediately captivated by Luffy’s charisma; Iñaki absolutely knocked this performance out of the park. And as the season continues, you’ll see that the entire main cast is dynamite.

[@Yo0264]

Your reaction to Luffy is perferct, it shows how great the writing and acting are

[@nadeeml9276]

As a long time One Piece fan this was a great reaction! Glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next episodes!

[@7Seraphem7]

It is always amazing seeing how fast everyone is to like Luffy. Inaki was the perfect choice for this role and he plays the part so well.

[@camillaabreu1967]

I saw this and now im watching the anime, they did an amazing adaptation in this live series. And the actor of Zoro, did all his stunts, he is amazing. And other actors did themselves a lot of stunts too.

[@sydney2417]

Pleasantly surprised to see you guys reacting to this!!! Enjoy the journey! 🎉

[@robbertlw9610]

I too watched the live-action series without knowing anything about it, and I’m so addicted to it now that I have to watch all content about it, including this awesome video!

[@Tt-qm2xg]

I binge watched this on the weekend with a friend who had never seen or read One Piece. It's so cool being with people while they get into something for the first time! Thanks for sharing guys!

[@chrislaalo3965]

Your reviews are always great. Genuine, insightful, and entertaining. Ive been a fan of this series for over two decades, and hearing your unfiltered thoughts and reactions to the live action was very engaging. I was laughing along with you guys the whole time, you are hilarious! I can't wait for the next videos. I've been a big fan of your channel for the past few months, and I'm loving your run through Korra right now, too. Keep up the great work!

[@melissaseguin9284]

Thanks for reacting to this series! I do hope this sends you down a rabbit hole and would eventually watch or react to the anime. Even though it’s 1075 episodes and ongoing. Huge under taking but as a fan of One Piece I can say, it was worth it! Can’t wait to see your reactions to the other 7 episode for season 1. It’s the best!

[@kevincerda6666]

This is an AMAZING adaptation. The sets, casting, costumes, character design are all perfect. Your sentiment about ATLA is the same that I had! I can’t wait!

i always love how u guys edit the Badd Medicine logo matching the movie/show font!!! and this one if chef's kiss!!!

[@pepper5709]

One Piece is the best-selling manga in the world. More than Dragonball. More than Naruto, Bleach, and all other famous manga/anime. It outsold Spiderman and Batman comics, leaving only Superman comics above it. It's big. REALLY big. That's why this live-action is a big deal. Many people are skeptical in the beginning because of the pressure of adapting such a legendary series.

[@Netsaver]

So in terms of setting, it's like a mix of old school pirates, but there are some modern influences as well. It's a delicate blend of enough modern to be plausible but not so modern you'd be like 'That seems out of place' clothing being primarily it, but it's held in by it's more fantastical aspects. If you decide to watch the anime, which would be a long slough, keep in mind that while you'd get a lot more context because of the nature of anime certain arcs would play out much slower than they have in this because anime is done the same time as the manga it's based on so they slow it down and put in 'fillers' which is used to slow the pace to give the manga artist time to continue the story.

[@mythman30]

the world of one piece is intentionally all over the place timezone wise. its a completely different world from earth with its own history and extremely varied locations and technology, they kinda made the live action setting a lot more carribean looking than the original anime, windmill village where luffy grew up looked a lot more like just a general like european village with houses and stuff sorta like rural ireland. but they changed it to be a bit more of a familiar "piratey" feel. at least for the first few islands they go to. but yeah theres a lot of weird shit in the one piece world especially in the grand line where its just kinda anything goes. so thats why you see people walking around with clothes that seem modern sometimes but less modern other times.

[@ssj4megaman]

Absolutely love that you guys are into it. Take it for what it is and you will enjoy it. Some context: This is the Live Action adaption of one of the longest Animes and the best selling manga (comic), of all time.

[@keenancookson8641]

I’m so happy you guys loved! The anime and manga have been a part of my life for 11 years. I’m so grateful to Netflix for bringing this story to the world ❤

[@brennanmasters1475]

Awesome to see you guys seemed to really like this first episode! I’ve been wondering how someone who knows nothing of one piece would react to the live action, so it’s great to see how well received this first episode was

[@bunnyspectre8342]

Really looking forward to the rest of your reactions to this! It’s been so cool watching non-One Piece fans react to this show; I honestly don’t think I’ve seen any new watcher not at least have a ton of fun while watching it. One Piece is genuinely one of the most creative and fantastic stories in modern media history, and I’m so happy that the Live Action is introducing to many new fans to it!!!

[@hobbitall]

As a longtime fan of One Piece, it is so great to see more people getting to laugh along with this show 😂 it’s so much genuine fun, but it also has such genuine depth and heart to it that there really is nothing else quite like it.

[@sharlynvazquez8445]

💜🧡💙 Your reactions were a joy to watch. As a fan of One Piece, I love watching people new the series get excited about the vast & intriguing world of One Piece. This live action has blown my expectations away & I'm glad to see it accomplishing what it was meant to-- to share the joy of One Piece with the world.

[@ralfsstuff]

Two things. 1. The name of Alvida's ship is the "Miss Love Duck". 2. The Möwe on Morgans Chin is German for Seagull. Could also go with his stereotypical german/arian look. Large, muscular, blond (couldn't see his eyes.) Basicall an easily recognizable bad guy. In the original he wasn't even above executing children and his own men.

[@TheArabek]

His name is Luffy ,Monkey is more like a surname ,8 episodes of Live action are like prologue in the manga (around 100chapters)they follow plot point pretty faithfull but they change some stuff and cut some charatcers to fit the tv show structure(some great changes some questionable)overall the feeling and heart of what made One Piece is there,great reaction ,glad you liked it because there is so much great stuff coming

Makenyu, who plays Zoro, is the son of Sonny Chiba. AKA Samurai Movies Legend and the one who made the Hattori Hanzo sword in Kill Bill. Dude's Samurai royalty.
