Curse Your Inevitable Betrayal - One Piece Season 1 Eps 3 Reaction

[@Illjwamh]

In the SBS (Q&A) section of the manga, a reader mentioned that the things on Klahadore's coat looked like poop, and asked what it was meant to be. Oda's only response was: "It is poop."

[@7Seraphem7]

Jay did nail it, a large part of what makes this show just work so well is how utterly lovable Inaki is as Luffy.

[@shaunm2691]

The manga’s creator saw his audition tape and said “That’s Luffy.”

[@Amor_24]

​@@shaunm2691"he laughed". Roger reference

[@thebluesmurfdude]

We all know the real reason that Jay got teary eyed at Luffy's speech. It's because Luffy mentioned that a ship is also a home. And if there's one thing we know about Jay, it's that he's a sucker for when a team gets their home base! Oh boy, if Jay is teary eyed here; I can't wait to see how he reacts to the rest of the season!

[@flipsteez11]

The game Garp and Koby are playing is called Go. Its a Chinese game thats been around for like 2500 years!

[@lydia1634]

Also considered one of the best strategy games ever invented, much better and more complex than chess. Basically, it's the shorthand for, these people are very smart and good at strategy. It's a plot point in Knives Out too.

[@lianamadison]

The one "simple" rule - if you can surround your opponent's piece on all four sides you "capture" it off the board and get points for both your captured pieces and empty places that your color surrounds

[@tofystedeth]

And tying it into another series that they've watched, they also play the game in Wheel of Time, though they call it Stones. You can see a stones board in several scenes, including one in which Logain is playing with himself. I think he even offers to play Lan but then dismisses him saying it's a game for kings not peasants.

[@liruichen]

In Chinese it's called weiqi literally 'surround' chess

[@benediktmathes2528]

The oldest found records and parts are around 2500 years old. The game is thought to be around 4000 - 4500 years old. The real age we might never know, it will be somewhere in between those two dates.

[@JustRDanni]

So fun fact, this series was filmed ihn Cape Town, South Africa and a lot of my friends worked on set and in costume fabrication. You could see the ships from the highway!

[@Kanriel]

I can't wait until episode 5 because that's when the ship/set design really goes next level and I imagine that's going to really impress Jay.

[@jeffreydegraw4070]

Jay’s “well, well, well” joke had me totally dying of laughter! It was perfectly timed. Well done sir!

[@blakereed92]

Jay is responding to this exactly as I expected him to and it's delightful.

[@danielharmon15]

The board game Marine Garp and Koby are playing is the Chinese game "Go". It is a more complex version of the games Othello or Pente.

[@TabbyQ.9563]

There's a whole anime based on this game, Hikaru no Go. It's been a decade or two since I've watched it but it was really cute from what I remember.

[@jRoy7]

@@TabbyQ.9563 Hikaru no Go is a great anime!

[@DocteurNS]

Hikaru no Go is great. The hype might be partly because I was much younger when I watched it, but it's one of those where you tell yourself, "Wow. Anime really can make *anything* intense, can it?" Because I remember it as one of my favourite watches ever, and I *still* don't understand the rules!

[@rhuanv]

Yeah, the idea of the game is to surround the enemy pieces with your pieces, then you gain all the territory inside. For example, if you can complete a square of white pieces around the black pieces of your opponent, you 'eat' all the black pieces and that territory inside becomes your and no one can put pieces inside it anymore. So the game is about dominating the board and controlling more territory at the end. It's extremely complex to an ungodly degree, like dozens of levels above chess in possibilities. Really hard game. There is a documentary about the last win of a human against the computer programs, and the human champion played a move, later called 'hand of God' that fried the computer basically. It was like a real life anime.

[@em5522]

​@@TabbyQ.9563 I feel like this may be a indicator abt how much anime has grown in the mainstream culture. I remember HnG being a rather well-known series in the anime sphere back in the day, so most ppl watching anime knew of Go bc of it, at least. But most OPLA reactors I've watched, including anime reactors, seem to not know what this game is at all.

[@rebeckymo]

19:40 I know exactly how you feel, Jay. Everything about this live action evokes the feelings of the old Xena, Hercules and Sinbad live action adventure series on the late 90's/early 00's, and I adore it. Some camp, some feels, fun fights, amazing cast...this is something we haven't really had in a show in a long time.

[@banonKING]

"are there animal people? Is his whole crew animal people?" You guys have NO idea what's in store in the Grand Line. The manga does a much better job of connecting Usopp's lying to the death of his mother. His "Pirates are coming!" was a way to rouse his mother out of her death bed so she'd feel better knowing his dad came back. He kept doing it thru his childhood in a way to remember her and hopefully his father would return. That story gets really short-changed in this live-action version, and doesn't connect as well as it does originally. Also Usopp in Japanese means "I'm a liar" in addition to being a play on Aesopp.

[@Jumpoable]

[@theplayershaven111]

In addition to Axhand mentioning Kuro in the first episode, when they do a close shot of Axhands arm you can see the scars that Kuro inflicted on him in the fight. Another way that the script was tight.

[@reverse_aquamath]

While not mentioned outright in the LA or anime (I think), Kuro is also the reason Morgan has a metal jaw.

[@arttabletalk32]

You also see Kuro's bounty poster in Morgan's safe in Episode 2, although no one unrolls it so they never have reason to know what he looks like.

[@maevalongchamp4063]

That was a fantastic description of Garp's voice 😮

[@Phanthief95]

5:18 Actually, the bounty posters are more of a measure of notoriety than of power level. They measure how much of a threat a particular individual is to the World Government. There are characters who are pretty weak but have really high bounties & vice versa, like a cotton candy lover you’ll encounter in a later season who is pretty strong but has a comically low bounty that he constantly gets frustrated by.

[@Kanriel]

You are correct, but it also IS sort of the power structure of the series. It's not perfect (and intentionally is not), similar to how in Dragon Ball it's possible to change your power level, notoriety can also play a part in higher or lower bounties. But it is a fair general power structure for the series.

[@skits_3d824]

A little fun fact all the outfits are from the manga covers. Every outfit Oda drew. 15:17 it's called Go.

[@iNVENCIbLL]

4:48 holy cow Jay is so right RIP Morgan’s knot tying hand

[@J_Alezzandro]

From the boob joke to the perfect poetic description of Garp's voice. Jay is a box of surprises

[@patricklatham3897]

Actually, the game Garp and Coby are playingis called Go. Also, fun fact, Morgan's safe contained a rolled up wanted poster of Kuro. If the Straw Hats had looked at it at all, at least Nami or Zoro would have noticed right away.

[@Clala85]

Seeing Jay's reaction to first first couple eps makes me really excited to see him react to the rest of the episodes!

[@knaveofknives]

Kept waiting for the sheep man comment to combine with the soup joke to create an all powerful Baaaaaaja Blast.

[@Animaniac0451]

Adam: I don't know the name of the game they are playing Also Adam: Let's Gooo!

[@kenklingler4094]

Adam doesn't know the name of the game, then at 15:47 says "Let's Go". Amazing work folks.

[@dannybob42]

The poop jacket is strangely enough intended that literally is his design, the actor did really well for the role of Kuro of a Thousand Plans, whose bounty poster we saw in the last episode inside Morgan's chest. But the speed is not a Devil Fruit, he's just fast, it's called the 'Pussyfoot' technique because cat-themed Also Bounties are more Threat Level than power scaling, they go hand in hand a lot of the time but as you may've noticed, Luffy being the menace to society he is has already ran through a lot of alleged threats. The outfits the crew wear are all based off the manga too, most variations come from cover pages.

[@darkurge69]

I love Jay’s love for this show

[@jpkc86]

It's a fantastic show and Luffy... and his actor.. there are roles that once one actor plays - no one else could ever really pull off. Like RDJ as Iron Man for example. This actor is absolutely amazing and his performance deserves many nominations! All of them are great but his performance in this character is just a notch above!

[@niknokseyer]

Really love this show too. Haven’t watched the anime but you can learn by watching the live action why it has a huge fanbase.

[@greywarden5513]

[@JonathanMartinez-ei4up]

From what I’ve heard, they do go on a devil fruit fetch quest WAAAAAYYY later in the series. I imagine amongst Vlistaria’s many Peach orchards there is a secret devil fruit patch, one of the many ways the Orchard Sorcerer gains their inate magic.

[@reverse_aquamath]

Usopp: Feat - Charming Liar: You may use Deception in place of Persuaion checks but at disadvantage. If the target(s) have a positive dispostion to you the disadvantage is removed. Failing or succeeding the check still resolves as normal but dispostion does not change (in either direction). Kuro: Combat Maneuver - Cat Scratch: Make a single melee attack as part of the Dash action and add superiority dice to damage. Target has disadvantage on attacks of opportunity. If wielding a melee offhand weapon you may make a bonus action attack as part of this maneuver with no damage bonus.

[@SchoolGuysShow]

how dare you make an obscure but accurate dnd reference? Nice.

[@reverse_aquamath]

@@SchoolGuysShow Gonna be honest, I'm not sure which reference I made. I need to errata Kuro's entry to read that the offhand attack also gets the added dice but no static bonus (unless you have Dual Weapon style).

[@TheKickKat]

You guys are such a hoot. Love it.

[@NealMarchuk]

Hey, guys! Glad you're enjoying this series so much! As other commenters have informed you already, the game Garp and Coby are playing is called go. It's possible the oldest known board game in the world, having originated in ancient China. Although the rules are entirely different from Othello or Reversi, it does have a superficial resemblance to those games. The players vie for territory, and whoever controls the most space on the board with stones of one colour wins. Regarding "animal people" -- I will neither confirm nor deny their existence in this magnificent world. However, I can inform you that Merry isn't one of them. His sheep-like appearance is due to an unusual hairstyle and nothing more. Keep in mind: This won't be the last time that we see someone who looks like a human-animal hybrid, but isn't.

[@317cmrogers]

Garp's voice being compared to "a big crusty piece of bread toasted with butter" is so awkwardly accurate and I don't know how to reconcile this reality😂

[@davidbergfors6820]

[@Fsudryden]

I am so happy he is liking the show. He is reacting the way I did. How is this show this good?

[@brianyaniro4797]

In the original Captain Kuro has a right hand man named Jango who looks like Steven Tyler but moves like Michael Jackson. Kuro and him attack a Navy (Marine) ship and kill everyone one board except two. One of them Jango hypnotizes to think he's Kuro and the other he hypnotizes to think he caught Kuro. The latter unimportant grunt turns out to be Morgan. They also broke his jaw. So a no name Marine becomes a hero overnight for a feat a didn't accomplish. It explains his ego and ineptitude and it's something you could easily miss if you're not paying attention. Oda's writing is so full of show not tell that enriches and connects everything. After 26 years the manga and anime are almost over. Start now and be there at the end with the rest of us. The One Piece fandom is unlike any other I've ever encountered. We're all Strawhats. And that "Sheepman... baahaaa" joke deserved more than it got.

[@dannysyarissy9002]

Adam is certified Zoro fans.

[@AlexanderAshcroft]

Usopp wasn't lying for his 7 years in life, he was earnestly hoping for his father to come home. Shouting that pirates are coming shouting for his father to return.

[@BlackBurrito9073]

A bit of advice tho... don't assume that a character is stronger than others just based on his/her higher bounty poster, The Bounty merely represents how much of a threat the Pirate is to the World Goverment, Oda has made it pretty clear multiple times that he doesn't want to fall in the trap of number-based Power-scaling. Another clarification: Merry is indeed modeled after a Sheep, but he's not a "Sheep Man" he is part of a Race of people that simply have horns... and his horns are coincidentally shaped like that of a Sheep/goat.

[@a3-radio]

And jake btw, yes its meant to be poop, so you are not wrong xD

[@aaronbourque5494]

The 1980 Popeye movie might be of interest to anyone who likes the constructed sets of One Piece. They made an entire town--that still stands, and is used by the locals as a Popeye theme park to this day--for the movie. Robert Altman was an underrated director.

One Piece does have a lot more animal people, oddly enough Merry is not one of them. He’s a human, though the range of physical variation amongst humans is MUCH broader than in RL, and includes some humans who seem to have natural horns.

[@chriszorander9333]

He could be part mink

[@GoldenKaos]

@@chriszorander9333 I wouldn't be surprised if the genetic lines between the various One Piece species are already very blurred - Big Mom at least is proof enough that being possible, and there are numerous humans in One Piece who are unrelated to her and stray well outside the normal RL range of physical features. We're not let in on whether humans in Oda's weird imaginative world are naturally just *more* varied as their baseline genetics, and thus able to have horns, animal features, be eight feet tall and have plants growing on their heads without external factors enterting the gene pool, or whether it is the presence of the other tribes and the absolutely inevitable interbreeding that would have happened over thousands of years that caused humans to become more weird.

On the subject of crew members seeking out devil fruit powers: one thing from the anime/manga I wouldn't mind being dropped from the live action is that much later we learn that one of the season one crew _is_ in fact seeking a specific devil fruit, and becomes upset when they discover another character has found and eaten it already. That's about as much of a spoiler as I'll give, but it kind of plays into what is already one of the worst character traits of a main crew member and makes it worse. I would not mind in the slightest if that whole mini-arc of the storyline gets dropped entirely. If you know, you know...
