@2:19 Hancock's personality change makes total sense: 1. Luffy is the first man not to be blindly attracted and commanded due to her beauty 2. Luffy put his new friends' safety (Margaret) above his own interest 3. Luffy upon hearing the fact that the boa sisters didn't want to expose their symbol of slavery save their faces during a fight against them 4. Luffy using the conquerors haki, asserting himself as a worthy king 5. Most importantly, Luffy is the only person stupid enough to punch a celestial dragon in the face without considering the consequences. Hancock immediately take a liking on luffy because she was once a slave and hates them more than anyone. So in my opinion, Hancock loving Luffy is more justified than you think because: LOVE IS ALWAYS A HURRICANE!

I know this is late, but i actually quite liked Moria. In a way, he was really similar to luffy. He had strong and deep connections to his crew and had super big ambitions as well. Not only that, but his power was fairly interesting and im sure he had some creative ideas in the past. but sadly, the death of his crew caused him to break down, and well adopt a whole new style. but honestly? I think the same thing would happen to luffy, well at least for a while, which made it interesting for me. That being said, im sure luffy resparked his interests and we will see a glorious return of moira.

I love the explanation you give for each arc and its place. I also love that you don't follow the regular OP fan stereotype. Not everyone has to hate Fishman Island, for example. It's obviously not one of the best, but it's definitely not as bad as the community paints it to be. I still think Thriller Bark should have been a little higher up on the list, as well as Drum Island, but it's a personal thing, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Thriller Bark does have it's problems and the same goes for Drum Island, can't argue with your logic. I'm just a sucker for Chopper's background, as far as Drum Island is concerned. As for Thriller Bark, I'm a sucker for the whole story of Laboon, the introduction of Brook and Kuma, Bink's Sake, Zoro and Sanji's (people tend to forget the latter's) sacrifice and the sheer power of the Strawhats' teamwork, specially after such a divisive saga (Enies Lobby).

[@oliverorchard6774]

I think Syrup Village as an arc is actually not the worst arc as it has a good antagonist in Kuro and Usopp while sometimes annoying is actually a great character due to him being the most human character in One Piece. However, if you compare it on an emotional scale and as a character introduction arc in the East Blue saga like Romance Dawn, Baratie and Arlong Park, it unfortunately doesn't do enough world building and lacks an emotional connection that the other arcs in the East Blue saga provide.

[@PixiDoxy]

Thriller bark has always been one of my favourite arcs and it surprises me how many people hate it. Moria was perhaps not the best antagonist, but I thought the arc was funny, creepy, unique, and Brooks story just breaks my heart every time. But maybe it's just my love for halloween that makes it so enjoyable for me :3

[@awabios1842]

thriller bark sucks

[@_seb_2153]

Your right it’s a great arc

[@TheDisarminghinkle]

I still think Moria would have benefited from NOT being a Warlord. Both the Warlords and Moria himself are lessened in the narrative by his inclusion. It makes the Warlords look weaker, and it makes Moria feel out of place. And, the alternative I have in mind would have made Moria have a much more interesting place in the story. What would have been far more interesting would have been if he was a bounty hunter. Bounty Hunters have tragically no place in the story at all. It makes you wonder why New World pirates even have bounties at all. No bounty hunters seem to be up to the task of taking them down. But, if Moria were a bounty hunter, it'd put in the audience's mind the fact that there are indeed powerful bounty hunters out there. You'd have to change NOTHING else about Moria's story. He'd still be a guy who had his original crew massacred by Kaido. Instead of a pirate crew, it was a bounty hunter crew. And, having them be high level bounty hunters explains why they were ambitious enough to try to take down high level pirate crews in the New World in the first place. He'd still be collected shadows from pirates foolish enough to enter the Florian Triangle. His main goal would still be to eventually amass a large enough army to take down Kaido. But, it would be for the sake of getting that sweet bounty. Just this ONE arc being about bounty hunters would make so much of the context of the entirety of One Piece feel a lot more interesting. And, it would save both Thriller Bark and Moria from being painfully lame.

[@godlynukes773]

Eh, not a bad idea. Was it Kaido or whitebeard that killed his crew? can't remember. Anyways, even if ur thought was in one piece, i think he would use the idea of bounties just as an excuse to get revenge. That sounds a lot more thrilling to me. And still the warlord part i find incredibly wrong. He was by far the weakest one for sure, but he also was still incredibly strong. He had a literal army at his command. He was like a crocodile 2.0, but i felt his "crew" was much stronger. But don't forget, luffy only beat him with one hundred times the power of what his original form was. A lot of people have estimated that's how strong new world luffy was at the start, and im sure when he first grabbed that position, he was much stronger. Since he had no practice, and was basically heartbroken by his crews death. I think the biggest fault in the warlord system, is most definitely crocodile, he was an amazing character and like you said, he was the only real showcase of any prominent bounty hunters in one piece, but he was introduced way to early, and was made out to be way too weak. Moira, even tho he lost, luffy still had a huge upgrade to beat him, so it made sense, crocodile on the other hand got outclassed by a basically a weakling. Seems off

[@AzazelSylphson]

I personally disagree with your stance on Hordy Jones. I think he was a scary villain because he had no personal vendetta against humans, like Arlong or Tiger Fisher. He and his friends grew up in an area that openly resented humans, and adopted their past prejudices as a result. It's how racism works, and is the strongest point of the arc in my opinion. I'd personally rank Fishman Island in my top 15 arcs, but I don't think it would reach my top 10.

McDerpalds 100% agree

[@godlynukes773]

[@alejandrorivas4585]

I think Hody works so well because nothing he does is too, for lack of a better term, anime. Everything he does just seems grounded and reasonable, and it would just work in real life.

12:08 The whole arc is about beginnings and ends, the whole city is referred to as "The city of the beginning and the end" and it's called "Loguetown" Logue, as in ~logue, like in prologue and epilogue, of course there will be references about beginnings and endings, it's what the whole place, and portion of the story is about. That's also why Roger was both born and killed in that city. And being a manga purist, as you claim to be, you should rank Loguetown lower than many other arcs, no matter how much I do like it, for one simple reason: It's unfinished. Oda wanted the crew to enter the Grand Line at chapter 100, so he left a huge chunk of the Loguetown arc out of the manga. Daddy Masterson's story came later on in a light novel, but there's stuff that hasn't appeared anywhere, that was intended by Oda himself to be part of that arc

[@The_RazorCode]

I didn’t mind Hody Jones. Fishman Island dealt pretty heavily with racial themes, and the idea that the main villains racial hatred was because of nothing was intriguing to me. I think it goes to show that even in the real world hatred doesn’t necessarily need to have a reason to be horrifically harmful.

[@isaacorozco6625]

I'll never forget Zoro vs Luffy at Whiskey peak, it was such a hilarious scene and great way to show the strength of the straw hats to Baroque Works as well as showing the viewers how they compare

[@princeali7871]

I'm pretty late to this video but, I personally really liked Syrup Village, mainly because I really liked and still do like Usopp, his relation to Yassop was really cool and intriguing and I found him to be a really fun personality, and I adore his relation with Kaya, I found the Usopp pirates to be rather humorous and it was a rather touching goodbye scene at the end of the arc. I also think Captain Kuro is really, really, cool, although I can understand why some may not like it, Usopp is rather cringy at times, for me personally I actually like this, I don't know why I guess its because I'm kind of cringe, but whatever. A lot of the humour is entirely dependent on what kind of person you are, so for a lot of people it probably comes off as really stupid. Basically what I want to say is, I respect your opinion but I really like this arc personally.

Syrup Village as #30 can 100% agree, I watched only the first 10 episodes of One Piece back in 2006 and I thought it was soo boring, because of this arc. But a few years later after discovering the series again I saw some rather interesting scenes, including (Enies Lobby, Skypia, Orange Town, Alabasta) and those really were engaging and cemented the succes of the series imo.

I love Moria I think he is more complex than people give him credit for. The poor man lost his entire crew. When Luffy lost just one person, Ace, he was distraught and Jimbei had to slap sense into him. Had it not been for Jimbei, Luffy could've ended up more like Moria. He was a shichibukai so that's that's a testament to how strong he was at one point.

Me: I just watched the 5 Worst Arcs video, so these first ones won't be surprising or upsetting. GLR: Only one away from the bottom is Amazon Lily! Me: You son of a bitch! Seriously, though, maybe this is a consequence of me watching the anime rather than reading the manga and there being a little more padding and build-up, but either way I think Hancock's shift isn't quite that extreme. For the first time, a man was completely immune to her charms and even talked back to her without a second thought. Then he demonstrated numerous feats of power that would impress anybody. At the same time he showed concern for women he just met and even protected the very people trying to kill him. Without a second thought, someone with Haki worthy of a great ruler bowed in thanks when she forced him to choose between the lives of people he just met and his own freedom. Every single one of those things is a chink in her emotional armor. Then he just shatters it to pieces when they start talking about the Celestial Dragons. Every bit of that was credible. Her attitude towards him went from shock to frustration to anger to confusion to moved to accepting to loving. None of this is that shocking as one of the running themes with Luffy is his ability to rapidly win over pretty much anyone, even his enemies. With Hancock it simply went even further than that. Another way to look at this is that Luffy basically established himself as Hancock's equal, thus allowing her to connect with him in a way she was unable to with any other person and he also happened to be the exact kind of guy who could break down her emotional walls in an instant. One thing that can be said of this is that it starts a pattern with One Piece of a male protagonist breaking through the trauma of a female would-be-antagonist and winning her love in the process. This pattern gets repeated with Sai and Baby 5 then again with Pudding and Sanji. Relying on that too much could be a bit of an issue.

[@blade9871]

I'm going to go through a few of the bottom ranked arcs and mention why I think they're still pretty good, but maybe not up there with the likes of Enies Lobby, Dressrosa, Water 7, etc. Syrup Village: I still think it's pretty good. A simple but well told story about bravery and cowardice, I personally like Usopp as a character even back then, and Kuro is a pretty good antagonist for Luffy and Usopp. Orange Town: Establishes the overall themes of One Piece very well and establishes the difference between a "good" pirate and "bad" pirate effectively. Long Ring Ling Land: The placement of this arc in the story makes this arc feel much more vital to the series than people might think. This is the arc right before arguably, the darkest saga of the series (Water 7 saga) and it creates a wonderful juxtaposition. This is the end of the first act of One Piece. A lot people hate this arc, I thinks its a pretty good comedy. Drum Island: This is in my personal top 5 arcs. It might be mostly because of the flashback, but my god what a flashback. Fishman Island: "I don't think [Hody Jones] deserves the hatred he gets from the fanbase." I think he's a pretty greatly written villain. While not a Lucci, Doflamingo, or Akainu, Hody Jones is a really good antithesis of the many villains and heros of the series. A man who didn't personally experienced the atrocities of his people, but still is so full of hate that he's a total piece of shit.

[@godlynukes773]

my problem with hody is that he's too weak, and relies off those drugs, and even with those drugs he's still weak. Not only that but we have basically no way to ever seem him again, and that's what i love about one piece. Crocodile, Buggy, that one octopus dude (dont know how to spell his name lol), and so on return to the story which is pretty cool, not only that but people like gin (still waiting on this one lol) that might return one day, and people like the Cp9 people who are basically guaranteed to return. These type of things always give me so much hype with the characters, but theres no way we'll see that dude again.
