The fact that we can say that early Onepiece is so inconsistent just goes to show how consistent the manga eventually becomes. It’s really fascinating seeing those retcons and early idea that had to get changed because it shows us Oda’s thought process. Great video!

[@vailingbow1068]

And tbh, those inconsistencies aren't even that big.

[@Vraii25]

Oda sensei was still an assistant before One piece. Of course these are some small consistent...because of Oda hard work, 20 hours a day for 20+ years... One piece is a masterpiece today.

[@sebitei]

Not a single one of that "Inconsistencies" is of actual importance to anything anything. Maybe the Sanji one with the devil fruit, but if oda cared he could explain it easily. For example "Sanji actually only read some devil fruit entries, he didn't read the overall info on devil fruits" or some shit like that. Also who cares

[@BoScotty]

@@sebitei I hate seeing this noted as an inconsistency on so many videos because I always thought it could be explained as “he forgot”. After all, considering Sanji’s surprise to Luffy’s devil fruit abilities, it’s easy to assume that he, as well as everyone else in the East Blue, never came across Devil fruit users. So I believe it’s not silly to assume that that detail about DF users just didn’t cross his mind. Especially considering, the heat of excitement after Krieg’s defeat. Far from a plot hole or big inconsistency.

Shanks has stated that he "bet" his arm on the new era, which I guess means he willingly let the sea king eat his arm, with the idea that it'd make Luffy realize that the sea is dangerous and postpone his departure until he was older and stronger. Maybe if he'd come out completely unscathed Luffy would have kept insisting he take him along, or even stow away in his ship, and become a pirate way earlier than Shanks thought he should. EDIT: to clarify, I know that Shanks losing his arm was an editor's idea. What I'm saying is only a retroactive explanation for what does indeed feel like an inconsistency given today's power levels.

@UCAGbjUmlan_g9iVbiXyH_kg Definitely not, even though Oda may not have planned the entirety of One Piece from the start Shanks being a strong pirate is very obviously planned from the start. I mean Shanks literally just tells the sea king to fuck off the second it takes his arm. We are also told pretty early on in the east blue that Shanks is a great pirate, the scene with Shanks and Mihawk happens right after Baratie.

Kuro wanted to live a normal life away from piracy. That’s why he wanted to gain the trust of the villagers and kaya. After doing so, he would raid the village, get kaya to give up her fortune, and then live a normal life, while blaming the pirates for killing kaya. This way the marines wouldn’t be alerted of captain kuro’s return and so kurahadol would live a nice quiet life in a mansion.

Obviously it's not the anime you watch if you want something dark or some topics to be treated seriously. But I think it's one of the few that it's well made and stayed pure shonen, even tho there are some inconsistency, but it's nothing, in my opinion that prevent enjoying it

[@chaos4654]

I've got possible explanations I've leaned on for some of these. - Alvida was probably just similar enough to Luffy to lack foresight on her sea voyages. So a nerd like Koby was a massive stroke of luck. - Roger Pirates. Two possibilities. 1) A vast amount of the group just hadn't physically been in the Grand Line or on the crew long enough to see Devil Fruits themselves. 2) It's one thing to see a guy create shockwaves by punching the air, it's another thing to believe he actually got those powers from eating a bad tasting fruit.

[@matheusmesquitaviana3300]

I'm not sure what percentage of a person an arm is but if you think about it shanks probably invested more than 100 million on Luffy

@@GrandLineReview Kuro never says it outright, but personally I think the "Kurahadol" ruse was also meant to train himself and see how well he could (re)adjust to civilian life after years of living in a cutthroat environment. If he wants to live in retirement, he has to interact with wider society sooner or later, and he can't hypnotize (or kill) *every* person who gets the tiniest bit suspicious.

[@TheSkullivan12]

The point of Kuro's plan was to retire from piracy entirely and live a comfortable, peaceful life. The three years of servitude was to endear the butler Klahadore to the townsfolk and make himself a respected fixture of Syrup Village. Hypnotizing Kaya to write the will had to wait until Klahadore was well known and liked, so nobody would question that she left her fortune to him. The pirate raid was a way to kill Kaya without raising suspicion that she was being targeted specifically. And the killing of his own crew was to remove any loose end that could potentially link back to his past as a pirate. It's insanely convoluted, yes, but it makes sense from a logistical standpoint.

10:40 Shanks and Buggy were once equals as well and Oda stated that Buggy became weak and lazy while Shanks kept training which is why they have such a gap in power and that it could also have been the other way around if their situations had been inverted. Arlong did the same by settling in the weakest sea. Moreover, Jinbei was consistently shown to be stronger than Arlong as he defeated Rear-Admiral Strawberry who should be somewhat relative in power to pre-timeskip X Drake while Arlong would never be able to defeat a decent Captain like pre-timeskip Smoker and Hina or post-timeskip Coby and Tashigi who are 2 ranks below Rear-Admiral. In my opinion the only Captain he would be able to defeat is Morgan. So this may just be a misconception from East Blue inhabitants due to the fact that Jinbei and Arlong are the (two) most prominent figures of the Sun Pirates being Fisher Tiger. Also, if Jinbei was chosen as a Warlord instead of Arlong then this had to mean he was inevitably more powerful than him no matter what Yosaku said.

In Kuro's case, it might have been because it would have been suspicious for him to just show up, then suddenly Kaya gives him the inheritance.

I think with Sanji's case it was because the manual just listed the types and their abilities, not the weakness because it was usually common knowledge to those who already knew about devil fruits. All he knew was that it comes with a curse, but he didn't know what exactly. The more likely reason is that, as he said, he wasn't interested in it. As a child, he probably just read the names and looked past the pictures.

[@mortiphasm5597]

Except Sanji indicated that back then, he knew about the weakness, which is why the other fruits didn't interest him.

[@HoleInTheCarpet]

My own take is that Sanji's "why didn't you tell me sooner?!" came from a place of (subconsciously) not *wanting* to believe that Devil Fruits took away your swimming ability until he had literally no other choice. Luffy was the first proof he had that Devil Fruits were real at all - but that doesn't mean he had to believe *everything* in the book from his childhood (which he probably read in-between bits of _Liar Noland_) was true, and who among us hasn't fantasized about having our cake and eating it too, every once in a while? The matter-of-fact way he discusses it later on, with Absalom, happened months after he met Luffy and got used to Devil Fruits; hence his "Meh, I was never *really* that interested in them!" air about the whole thing.

And now the world is unfolding on the paper, like it was growing in his head, when he wasn't cased out.

couple things i still dont understand: 1. People still calling zoro "pirate hunter" 2. How people still underestimating luffy cuz of how he looks ( flampe was literally mocking luffy and was surprised how he had conq haki)

[@nicholasbove3554]

Zoro was a famous bounty Hunter for several years before becoming a pirate. So his bounty Hunter nickname just kinda carried over And Luffys demeanor doesn’t carry anywhere near the presence of other people in his weight class. So it’s easy to look down on him.

[@yeee33333]

@@nicholasbove3554 1. Zoro never managed to capture any pirate of note in East Blue, the weakest ocean, prior to joining the straw hats. His fame almost exclusively comes from his piracy career. Doubt anyone beyond the first few islands in the East Blue has even heard of the “Pirate Hunter”. 2. There are people far more comical than Luffy, yet somehow never get underestimated. Big Mom is an obese old lady who has the emotional maturity of a 5 year old, and Queen is basically a flamboyant human bowling ball. Really no reason anyone should underestimate the $1.5 billion man who is arguably the most infamous pirate in the world lmao

[@nicholasbove3554]

@@yeee33333 1. They put it on his wanted poster and that’s a big part of how your pirate credit spreads. So Zoros first wanted poster drew from his East blue carrier and now he’s stuck with it. Also it’s implied that Zoros been hunting Named bounties for a few years. 2. It’s about comedy it’s about presence and big mom is a 20 foot tall force of nature that her whole kingdom is trying to prevent from going off. So even if she’s silly she still regularly eats peoples souls. Also luffy is relatively new to the pirate scene. So combine new with silly and the top dogs aren’t gonna give him much thought. Until he punches them in the face and they get real confused

[@Cipher_Paul]

8:30 Kuro also said that when he was thrown off his ship on the cost he spent several days wandering and starving before finding the village except there are only two places where a ship could accost and according to Usopp it would only take 3 minutes to go from one shore to the other and we even see Luffy going the wrong way and ending up at Syrop Village in a bit more than 3 minutes (it took him the same time as it took Usopp to run from one shore to the other except he left before him). So if it only takes about 3 minutes for Luffy to run from the shore to the village it's incomprehensible for Kuro to have spent days traveling the same path. Assuming that Kuro spent 2 days traveling from the shore to the village, that he slept 12 hours a day due to extreme fatigue and that he walked at a pace of 1 km/h it means that there would be a distance of 24 km between the shore and the village which means that for Luffy to reach it in 3 minutes he would have to be running at a constant speed of 480 km/h over 24 km and that's just not possible 😂

[@xcalixus]

I completely agree but I don't think kuro was "thrown off the ship" and probably made that up and no one questioned it or luffy can really run 480km/h over 24km, it's obvious which is the case

[@V2ULTRAKill]

Are you applying real world physics to one piece???

[@Cipher_Paul]

@@xcalixus well, Kuro did say that the people of the ship he was working on “marooned him here”. Also, Luffy's traveling speed pre-timeskip can pretty consistently be calculated around 130 km/h both from sprinting alongside Kaloo who is stated to be faster than a cheetah and from running from Cricket's house to Mocktown and back in about 3 hours going South while it took the Merry 3 days to go from Mocktown to Cricket's house going North even though Luffy's path was was much longer (putting him at 128 km/h) which would in fact make Jaya a pretty big island which is kind of corroborated by Luffy, Usopp and Sanji needing nearly a full day to go from one end of Skypiea to the other despite days lasting longer in the sky. We can also estimate Usopp and Brook's speed and we know Luffy is in between them with Nami and Usopp having speeds of 55 km/h and 60 km/h as both can outrun a sabertooth tiger (50 km/h) while Brook would have a speed of 160 km/h if we consider the fact that he had the same speed as Usopp when he was alive but now only has 14% of his initial mass remaining making him much faster. So basically Luffy can't run at a speed of 480 km/h on 24 km but could run at +130 km/h on 460 km if he didn't have to carry the gold.

It was a very close call for Shanks. Beating the sea monster in time to stop it hitting Luffy was out of the question and he didn't have time for an alternative, so he only could push Luffy to the side and got hit instead.

[@RandomPerson-bc6td]

I did not see an issue in Buggy's flashback in Orange town. I thought the contrast with the Roger pirates flashback was because we saw things from his perspective. He probably started out with those cruel ideas, but eventually changed because of the crew. I think Roger's death caused him to revert to his old ways.

I just think “sacrificing arm for next gen” is a dumb answer. It’s outright silly tbh. Like… he didn’t need to lose his arm to the giant scary sea monster to impart the “sea is dangerous” wisdom.

I think one thing that’s not discussed enough about One Piece and Oda’s writing in general is that initially, he didn’t know how long One Piece would go on for. Once it really took off and he had the comfort to plan for long term you can really see how improved & more consistent his writing got.

[@bestdadakasongoku4157]

Kuro’s plan I thought was to retire in Syrup Village with the respect of the townsfolk to vouch for him. He spent 3 years to gain the trust of the people, because had he just had jango hypnotize Kaia off the bat, the village would have been like hmm something’s fishy here why would Kaia give her vast fortune to this random mf. He also lied to his crew and said they would gain money from the raiding of the village and from Kaia’s house but in reality he wanted to create a pirate problem long enough to where the death of Kaia wouldn’t be suspicious and could be blamed on them but also he was gonna kill the crew anyway because he wanted to retire and never get caught, his plan never included killing all the townsfolk. Probably out of fear of the Marines coming by one day.

the fact that shanks lost his arm to the lord of the coast will never sit well with me, it was amazing when I first watched it but after learning more about Shanks just makes it terribly unbelievable.

[@MrTheatrick]

The only possible reason i can see for shanks loosing that arm is if he wanted to teach luffy something

[@sappho7278]

I think Shanks losing an arm you could say he was so worried about saving Luffy he completely lost his composure, and putting his own body in front of Luffy was a split section reaction because he saw so much potential in Luffy as the future, and at this point even knew Luffy was sungod Nika because he'd eaten the fruit

[@audichunes]

The way I like to think of the Shanks arm situation: we see countless times the cliche of someone being saved at the last second, with no injuries. Well, it's just that this time, Shanks was a tiny bit later than the cliche, with no choice but to sacrifice the ol' arm, haki be damned. I also "heard" that an editor told Oda to make him lose an arm, so there's that.

[@boros8850]

For real, orange juice with pulp makes my skin crawl.

[@Poet482]

Though a bit lame, most all of these things make sense. For example, Sanji just forgot about that devil fruit users sink in the moment due to all of the craziness going on at the time. Actually feels like a pretty human thing to do, especially when you likely just witnessed it in person for the first time. Yes, a lot of these are intuitive. Just because Shanks is really strong doesn't mean he wasn't tired out from swimming all the way out there to get to Luffy. Though it is strange that Luffy didn't immediately sink when the guy kicked him off. He even wore a shirt that said "anchor" lol. Early minor things that don't ruin scenes like this, thankfully, as the important thing is that they're still thematically consistent.

I feel that the Netflix One Piece live action is in a very unique position of opportunity here. This may sound blasphemous, but really, they have the opportunity to surpass any adaptation of One Piece ever. Removing these flaws, they could have a perfect show with all the right setup and payoffs. They could, in theory, stray from the source material, while not straying from the story and its soul. If they pull it off, the enigma that "One Piece is not mainstream" would vanish, and One Piece would gain the recognition it deserves, that is, that of being one of the greatest adventure tales (if not the greatest) ever put to pages.
