I've seen so many people place Brooks backstory down on the list for the saddest among the strawhats simply because he was already an adult when it all happened... Idk but for me having all that joy, Family and Friends and then have it ripped away from you is so much worse and also people underestimate how hard loneliness can be especially over such a long period

[@captainmarvelous7678]

Brooks backstory is the only one where someone asked them how come they didn't just kill themselves rather than continue to endure it. To me that speaks volumes of how tragic it is.

If you listen to a song called “Binks Brew” (“A Sea Shanty From One Piece”) which is an English version of “Binks Sake”, you can see that Brook’s crewmates said that if they die first they would see Brook in the afterlife but Brook ate the Yomi Yomi No Mi Fruit which made him an eternal skeleton so he didn’t get to see his crewmates like they promised but at least he’s happy with the Straw Hat’s! 😭

So far watching One Piece, I have only actually cried 3 times. The first was when Chopper saw the cherry blossoms before leaving home. The second was the sinking of the Merry. The third time was watching Brooks backstory. I cried hardest when watching what happened to Brook, because his story is a masterful tragedy, yet he came through and is still a goofy, lovable guy. It could have been so easy to make him angsty and bitter, but his joy and kindness speaks to me more than any other Straw Hat.

[@detaaditya6237]

Ngl man Brook's backstory is still capable of making me tears an ocean. It's so damn sad

[@SuperiorPosterior]

My favorite line from Brook in these episodes, is at 27:07 "I take pride in being a pirate! If you are facing the wall, I want to greet you from the front, just like I promised!" Before, when he's mentioned wanting to get back, it's been subtly inferred that he's wanting to get back as quickly as possible, and thus going "backwards" along the Grand Line. Which is considered ridiculously cowardly. This is also why he couldn't beat Ryuma to get his shadow back. He wasn't a good enough swordsman, sure, but he never *got better,* despite having years prior to meeting the Straw Hats to train. But now, he's ready to move forward, become better, and face Laboon head on with a smile, rather than skulk up from behind. It's some wonderfully powerful (if a bit overly subtle) character building, which is great since we pretty much get none after this until post timeskip, where we get flashes of his character during his Sabaody concert, a few new powers on Fishman Island, and that's basically it up through Dressrosa.

[@zahidshabir4038]

Brook could NEVER beat Ryuma because firstly Ruma when he was alive was already stronger than Brook and on top of that Dr. Hogback was choosing super strong bodies for Moria to use that were stronger than the shadows owner and on top of that he made modifications to the bodies to enhance their strength before giving them to Moria for the shadows. So basically the zombies of each person in most cases were just upgraded versions of that person (for Sanji this clearly wasn't the case since his zombie was put in a weak ass penguin dog because they didn't recognise him and even the dogguin zombie of Sanji was complaining that his body is too weak for him)
