So many people won't pick up One Piece because of it's length, but that's the greatest selling point for me. "It's about the journey, not the destination" couldn't describe the One Piece experience more accurately.

[@woozyz2769]

Well you're gonna have to have insane determination and willpower to actually continue the journey, ngl not only the insane amounts of episodes but also the insane amount of filler, the super slow pacing and prolonged fights that get dragged on for so long for no reason. The live action clears up the pacing issues at least. I say this as a one piece fan myself.

[@BiggerBricks]

@woozyz2769 And as much as I love the anime too, I agree with your criticisms. Like I remember I was getting mad during the Dressrosa arc because each episode was 22 minutes long and you had actually 5+ minutes of the intro and recap before the new shit even started. It's the curse of trying desperately not to catch up to the manga

As two side notes: One: Sea water doesn't necessarily negate powers, but they weaken devil fruit users so damn much that the untrained devil fruit users effectively lose their powers, and even the stronger ones are significantly handicapped by it. Two: Since Shanks could swim, that means what he used was not a devil fruit... but something else.;)

[@mikemath9508]

so in the manga shanks swam and saved luffy. in this live action he just pulled him up from a boat. the whole holding luffy, telling the sea king to fuck off, shanks was submerged in canon.

[@charmedoriginal5923]

At the time of writing the live-action One Piece has adapted 95 out of the 1091 published manga chapters. This means after one season, eight episodes, and 451 minutes, only 8.7% of the story has been adapted into Netflix's live-action adaptation. Since the first 8 episodes of SE1 covered almost the entirety of the East Blue Saga of One Piece. A minimum of 11 volumes (95 chapters) of the manga will be covered, and at least 45 episodes of the anime.

[@dizzyMongoose]

The Den Den Mushi (Transponder Snails) are general societal technology. The snails somehow can telepathically talk to each other, so they've been bred/altered to be used as telecommunication devices. In the manga/anime, they're also a fun running gag, as the snails are typically styled to match their owners, plus the _snail_ talks in the voice of the caller when receiving a call and mimics the facial expressions of the caller too (which is obviously much easier to do in an animation).

[@miguelgonzalez6495]

[@leeboonkang2]

That slugs snail stuff are basically the telephones of this world. They are usually quite big, at least the size of a kitten. This earpiece one is unique to this live action series, it never appeared in the anime. As the series progress you can see different ver of the snail in different form having different uses. Long story short, snails are the communication devices in this world. So Nami could be contacting anyone here.

[@alexvrajitoru9097]

yeah... but it s so unique how different people come up with different ideas and so interesting (but wrong) connections about something. Other woman on a channel thought that when you are using your devil fruit powers you pay something right and then. Shanks - the arm, Buggy - the nose, Luffy - the ability to swim... is ridiculous but fun

[@TheKiza02]

If there's ANY indicator that you should not mess with Shanks, it's that he shakes off losing an arm like it's nothing

[@drderpamine2498]

Very refreshing to watch a reaction where the reactors havnt seen the anime already. Just the little things like seeing you guys be shocked when buggys head went flying is really fun

[@barbarapereira7790]

I think you guys made the right call, the time to watch this is right now, since all the reactors are doing it too you would be missing out! Like you said OP is 1000+ episodes. Sure there are 1 or 2 spoilers here but I'm pretty sure there won't be a season 2 anytime soon so you guys still have time to watch the anime.

[@daisychong3488]

I loved your reaction to the first episode of One Piece, and that's why I subscribed! I'm happy to see a second episode drop. You don't have to watch the anime unless you really want to, so don't feel pressured! I think it's perfectly fine to enjoy the live action only. Just enjoy the ride. :D

As you go along, you'll see why the question "is it lunch yet" is important.

[@danhasong7199]

I think you guys are totally making the right call in watching the Live Action right now. I'm glad it gets you hooked, and the anime has MUCH more content so the show won't ruin the anime experience! (For example, the anime answers a lot of questions like why would Zoro let himself get tied up like that, why Luffy unties him, why Zoro and Nami join Luffy so easily...) The anime also does the character arcs much, much better. But that just means you guys are in for a treat when you get around to it! I've watched the Live Action and gone back to reading the manga, and it just made me appreciate the original even more. Hope you guys have a lot of fun, both with the LA and the anime some time in the future!

[@bismaofficialph]

Devil fruit powers are limited only to just physical abilities, basically what the devil fruit eaters can do with their body's constitution based on the fruit they ate. But the power that Shanks did in this episode is a different kind of power which they'll clarify in the next seasons, i believe. I'm a bit surprised they made it a point to showcase it here when it's really not that noticeable in the animé. Makes you think that Shanks ate a devil fruit.

[@mikemath9508]

i'm glad they kept in Cabaji, he has a cool design. but they missed mohji/richie, and chou-chou (the dog) had a backstory.

According to creator Eichiiro Oda, Luffy can stretch up to 72 gomu gomus (gum gums) but he did not define what or how long a gomu gomu is 😂

[@iamkAIden]

The live action only covers 4% of the anime so you good. Love the reactions and glad you guys are liking it. If you like the live action you will love the anime.

[@woozyz2769]

I mean 60 eps of the anime in only 8 episodes of the live action is pretty impressive if you ask me, as long as they keep up this pacing with perhaps 16 episodes per season then by season 5 we could get Marineford (If seasons happen yearly and not every 2 years)

[@jonathanpowell7256]

​@@woozyz2769I think it'll stay at 8/9 episodes each season, like Stranger Things.

[@woozyz2769]

@@jonathanpowell7256 For something like one piece, that's far too low, only reason Netflix went for 8 eps is because they weren't sure if it would succeed or not, I think realistically they should go for 12 episodes, cause one piece is a HUGE story and they'd have to cram lots of stuff in again and the pacing would be far too off, remember that the pacing needs to be steady, not too slow and not too fast.

Shanks for sure doesn't have a devil fruit. Most devil fruit powers are kinda on the low end of powerful in the One Piece universe. Many of the most powerful people in the show got that way through sheer hard work and a bit of determination. Also Transponder snails are just the way everyone communicates.

Those snails are called Den Den Mushi, they're the phones in this world. They come in different 'species' with different uses... The larger ones are regular phones, the small one Nami was using is like a walkie-talkie or something, maybe a cellphone? there's also 'black den den mushi' which are used for hacking in to other peoples' conversations. No Nami is not working with the Marines, I won't spoil who she IS working with.... Just a thing of note; The live action blends a lot of content from the East Blue Saga, to reduce how much time is needed for it all, so when you do get around to the anime, don't be surprised with episodes containing characters that are either only hinted at here, or are entirely absent.... Case in point, the fight Zoro had in Episode 1 with Mr.7 is only barely mentioned in the anime much farther in to the series, and a new Mr.7 is encountered by the group. I think the changes they made work well for story telling purposes. It keeps close enough to the source material, without dragging on as long as the anime tends to do. There will also probably not be ANY fillers thank god. (I love Apis, but her filler episodes had no lasting impact to the story...)

[@jademarin4206]

[@thorneyquins8780]

Consuming the devil fruit will make the user unable to swim in still waters (like the sea, river, etc) but they won't be affected by rain or moving waters unless half of their body is immersed. If a devil fruit user dies, their devil fruit will reappear somewhere in the world and can be consumed by another user. Also one piece world are insanely large...like lots of lore and characters...humans in this world have their own skills and abilities besides devil fruit eaters/users...powers/abilities can be attained through trainings

[@stevenrhodes3462]

There's a scene in the manga and anime where Luffy punches that sea monster after he sets out to sea (before ending up in the barrel at the beginning).

[@Bryzxc05]

Devil fruit eaters's kryptonite is Sea water or the ocean itself, you may see some people who has "powers" but can still swim, meaning they're not a devil fruit eater, the "powers" you saw are just pure skills.

This is one of the best liv action adaptions of any anime, so this is a good call. I think this is a good gateway into One Piece(to watch anime/mange or just continue with the LA for some ppl) and Oda/Netflix have greenlit season 2. Also there are some changes so I can say if you do watch the anime/manga sometime down the line, you can still watch season 2 of the LA whenever it comes out.

Excellent reaction as usual! Your decision to watch the anime down the line is honestly the best, and Ill tell you another reason why, other than the reasons you mentioned - because it's over 1000 episodes you have to understand that the pacing is a lot slower than most other shorter animes, so like in Demon Slayer, several plot points may happen in one episode, but for One Piece, 2 plot points might take 4 to 5 episodes. So what does this mean? This means that cause it's so long, youd have to react to 5 to 6 episodes PER video you release, which is a lot of time, and editing I imagine - right now it's just not practical. Stick with the live action, finish that, and of course keep the One Piece anime on your list for a future time when we can all reset our brains and get ready for that journey ps. this is for Ron and Michelle and whoever else reads this, PLEASE for the love of God do not spoil anything for yourselves, and (to the commenters) dont spoil anything for them. I get you're all excited that theyre reacting to this and you want to explain stuff, but in your excitement, ive read some comments where you guys explain too much and give strong hints and literal spoilers. Let's let them discover this world and the stories within on their own and that way we can enjoy the reaction that much more, thanks!

Watch this, wait a year, watch the anime, then when you're caught up to episode 47, specifically, you can swap back to season 2. Live action 2 is green lit. Oda has confirmed, as far as we know, which it's all theories right now, the One Piece is a tangible thing. Whether it's a bunch of things or one thing, no one knows.
