we're up to thriller bark saga over on patreon!! join for early access uncut reactions: www.patreon.com/ohkaty

[@hamiasmai08]

is there early cut reaction? i heard from this video you no longer use timer which sounds interesting

[@WorkInProgressX]

Small but cool detail After Robin says she wants to live, it quickly goes through every crewmember face minus zoro, where we see him pulling the sword out a bit then letting it fall back. That’s a samurai practice called “kincho” and signifies making a vow that cannot be broken, so there Zoro vowed to commit to the rescue.

[@ohkaty]

oh i LOVE THISSSS

[@Sgt_Killersnow]

This one is one of the obscure ones I came to drop here but you got that already, nice!

I had no idea... Cool detail.

[@shinji53404]

Thank you for explain, i was thought he just doing a random thing with his swords all these years 😂

[@GastaoHEsteves]

Since you're at Thriller Bark, it's safe to mention a detail that many people don't notice here. From this moment of "I want to live", Robin finally begins to accept herself as a member of the Straw Hats. From here on, note that she will never again call Luffy "captain", Zoro "swordsman", Chopper "doctor", Nami "navigator", etc. She used nicknames to try to distance herself from them because she "knew" that one day she would have to leave them. From here on, she starts to call them by their names. There is no doubt in her heart anymore. She now accepts them as her family and nothing in this world can shake that. Robin is finally free.

[@Sgt_Killersnow]

Adding onto this she will never questions anything regarding the crew (decisions, intentions) again and never responds to any questioning of her captain or crew's abilities. Seen some people in the future be like "Why didn't robin say anything here"- cuz she don't NEED to. hushhhhhh lol

[@alricrahl2373]

And she would call people how Luffy calls their names 😅

"She rather die than being abandoned by the friends she finally found". I feel like a lot of people don't put much attention to it. This is the thing that totally broke me and the emotional trigger of this moment 😭😭

[@堀口きよーじ]

悲しいですよねなき😢

[@Miss_All_Sundays]

Robin's voice actress is a legend for that "I want to live" moment. No matter how many times I see it, it's pure chills every single time.

[@The_Oferredo]

And at this point Robin solidified her spot as my favorite character/strawhat.. always glad to see people react to this part.. its just so impactful and emotional.

[@areswilliams]

For me it was a filler episode I think it was the one with the girl who had the shrimp fruit but she was a giant. They were trying to save her dad with the straw hats and Robin was on a boat using binoculars to “clutch” people on their ships. She ate so bad

[@tumswinchester9211]

Yeah, I know all mugiwara have hard past... but robin was the hardest for me...

[@chimera3hydra12]

33:41 After the highly dramatic and climatic moment where Robin cried out that she wanted to live, which brought a lot of people to tears, they had to make Franky cry as well for comedy relief!

[@mattbrock7031]

I love how Ussop doesn't even hesitate to shoot through the flag.

[@leovitiello7424]

I think you mean Sogeking, Ussop isn't even there

[@corvus6381]

thinking back to it, his main issue with the merry situation was that he felt like they were abandoning her and was fearing they'll do the same to him So robin saying she is acting the way she does because she is fearing the same thing must have hit double for him

[@NiersFloater]

@@leovitiello7424 Approved. In a later episode (200 episodes+) Usopp meats Sogeking - and they are not even on friendly terms.

[@topgig]

I agree that Robin's backstory is on a whole different level, even by One Piece standards. It's one of the saddest and most dramatic ones I've ever seen. Also, I agree that everyone has the right to learn their history, and it's very sus whenever anyone goes to these lengths to hide history. And also, I really appreciate Katy's commentary here because she takes the time to analyze and dissect the motives of the World Government and how suspicious their behavior is. She takes the time to digest all this lore and mystery, and that's awesome.

[@ImAviex]

Idk if you anime only and Im not tryna set expectations but Kuma backstory might be the only one I hold above it.

[@azuth11]

For the first time while watching this, I noticed the similarities between the World Government and Sakazuki destroying a civilian evacuation ship in order to “do it thoroughly”, and a certain ongoing conflict in which civilian refugee camps are being targeted. The lack of regard for innocent civilians is chilling. I pray that conflict comes to a peaceful end soon.

[@SquishFlint]

Everyone got the backstory they wanted. Yaaaaaaaay. - backflips into the sun while sobbing -

[@iJeansi]

Robin's past is very important to the story in op, the whole theme of the empty century and how she is the only one currently to decipher the ponegly is fundamental. I liked the reaction, I hope you continue enjoying this adventure

[@pesjp8244]

there's one thing that i think you might've understood incorrectly. this episode states that the ancient kingdom existed prior to the blank century and that it was probably world government's enemy and that they're probably the reason why that kingdom doesn't exist anymore

[@AcedOnez]

Although we dont know if the ancient kingdom was questionable in the things they were doing and if they were dangerous we only know from surface level that the world government is evil but i doubt oda will be as black and white

[@pesjp8244]

@@AcedOnez that is true. i just wrote what i did above since kahty seemed to think they were talking about some present kingdom so that she doesn't get confused in the future

[@meetthedevil1327]

[@PetarBladeStrok]

This moment legit changed my life. One of the best & most emotional fictional moments of all time...

[@areswilliams]

My first time watching this i sobbed for a good ten minutes it still makes me cry 😭😭😭

[@christianmayonove6914]

I always enjoy how when robin says she wants to live, she sounds like a little girl. Its like her life was on pause since Ohara and she finally just got to release 20 years of anguish and for a moment revert to being her younger self. The younger self that had dreams and aspirations and wanted friends - that Robin came back in this moment.

[@TheHysteriaMan]

This is one of the key moments in One Piece, right up there with "Help me"/"Of course I will!", "I'll surpass you!", and several others that I won't spoil.

[@Shax22132]

As you said, considering the sheer amount of trauma, betrayal, and persecution that Nico Robin had to endure for her entire life, it's a testament to the strength of Robin that she didn't decide to give up on life long before now, nor did she snap and become the monster that the world accused her of being. And by fate or luck, Robin found the friends that Saul promised were out there waiting for her, ones who will never abandon her, never betray her, and never stop fighting for her. Luffy gave the order to shoot through the flag, but Ussop/Sogeking didn't hesitate for a moment, nor did any of the other Straw Hats make even a token protest. Because Nico Robin is a member of their crew, and if that means fighting the whole damn world for the sake of one person, then the whole damn world can just bring it on.

[@clinmaan]

I read this chapter a looong time ago, and cried tears and stuff down onto the page. Then started to watch the anime and cried until people started to come into my room to ask what was wrong. This part is just amazing so let yourself cry to this stuff, I look like frankys crying face each time a get to see a new fan get to this point.. The voice acting for both Robin/Olvia and young Robin are stellar

Sakazuki is a savage. He’s also someone to be remembered.

[@Zzzoro92]

Even the scum of Spandine was shocked the evacuation ship got blown out

[@ComicCrossing]

@@Zzzoro92 tbh I get it. Sakazuki was too much but at the same time his mindset was "we are already committing this horrible atrocity we need to make sure it was not done in vain". Because from his perspective if anyone survived then it was for nothing. He wasnt necessarily wrong either. If the villagers hadnt been such assholes Robin wouldve been on that ship.

[@michaelfvt]

This was the point of the story where I knew that One Piece ranks among the greatest stories ever told, full stop. Very few things have made me feel the way this story has.

[@CaioGuerra19]

Loved your reaction. Thanks for sharing this moment with us. It feels like watching for the first time again

[@ricketycricket4361]

One of the best moments in the entire series

[@らもす-j3t]

I like how Usopp, who is usually a coward, has no hesitation when shooting down the flag.

[@demdguN]

He trusts his captain

[@Rutabega_NG]

"I want to live!" "Okay, we'll take it from here." Not something Robin ever experienced or ever expected to experience. The only reason to try and fight the tears in One Piece is so that you don't have to rewind a scene that you missed because you couldn't see it. Otherwise it's a losing battle. They're gonna come.

[@Zampiano]

Most important episode of One Piece. Robin's words gave many of us the courage to believe the same for ourselves. Keep going; the One Piece is real!!

[@curtmc]

How do I cry everytime I watch Robin's backstory, Even through a reaction video like this LOL. Hearing "Dereshishishi" as a laugh hits absolutely different. And "I want to live!". Incredible writing. Also can't forget "No one is born into this world to be alone!", I'm willing to bet this line has saved many One Piece viewers.

[@julianagnes8578]

I believe, in manga, when Prof. Clover almost mentioning The Ancient Kingdom name, One of the FIve Elder, Warcury perhaps (?), shouting over Den den mushi and ordering Spanda to shut the old man up. "The name of Ancient Kingdom ... " "SPANDA!" *BANG*

[@DissCeeg]

29:18 And what’s actually crazy about this even more, Robin would be Russian in the real world and her actress is hated for being Russian in the real world, making themselves both hated for where they come from. I love the decision the live action made because of little details like that. 🥺

Yes it is one of the best voice acting of all anime so far. The voice actor of Robin is one of my favourite japaneses voices.

[@yamiookami]

Luffy really do just be like, "I will fight the whole world for you, girl."

[@UnrealMisterD]

A couple fun tiny details from here: The guy who ordered the evacuation ship sunk was Vice Admiral Sakazuki. Write that name down, he will come back later, and you will hate him even more. Saul was not just a Marine, he was a Vice Admiral, which requires you to be a legitimate badass to get that high. Among the pirate world of One Piece, going after or shooting down another pirate's Jolly Rodger is the gravest of insults and will cause them to want to murder you instantly. This means that Luffy asking Sogaking to shot through the WG flag was the biggest middle finger the captain could possibly think of.

[@nullone3181]

I think it's interesting to consider that Crocodile could well have been the first guy after her escape that didn't sell her out to the World Government, primarily because he was beyond that level and had ambitions that put him directly at odds with the world government, which also required her help to complete.

[@quieness]

I have a rare variant of severe chronic lifelong depression. The feeling i've been the most familiar with throughout my whole life has been that of wanting to die. When I first heard Robin say I want to die i felt that to my gut, and when she replied back to the strawhats "I want to live" i broke down to pieces. When i first watched this i was almost the same age (25ish) as Robin here (27). Have I not stumbled upon OP during the years I did, i'd NOT be around rn. Currently going through the 30s and i'm sticking the fuck around to witness the end of One Piece, no matter what.

that line makes me cry every time. the visual of her being in darkness created by all the shit people she has delt with, being broken by a ray of light with sauls "you will find friends out there" speech in the background, as the light covers all the darkness to reveal the straw hats. it is one of the most buetfifull animation work toei has done and truley brings life to the manga panels.

[@JoshTheValiant]

Saul turning and attacking the *battleship* is a really important moment in the series, not just for the obvious character development, "This man is a real one", badass moments, but because it's a really strong reminder about the reality of giants in One Piece. This is one individual capable of scuttling an entire Navy battleship by himself, after taking fire from it. Our only prior encounters with giants have been with Dorry and Broggy on Little Garden, where they were distracted, fighting with bad equipment, and overwhlemingly friendly to our characters, and most recently with Oimo and Kashii, who are explicitly inferior to the previous two and are overhwelmed with simple numbers. These two instances might be enough to fool someone into thinking that maybe giants aren't a big deal, or that they're just another people group on the Grand Line. While this is technically true, there's a reason why everyone freaks out every time a giant shows up, and it's because they can do shit like this. Saul, unarmed, half starved from shipwreck, protecting a little girl during a Buster Call, can take out a battleship singlehanded. Keep a pin in that.

[@ut8jwl6vl4wr0]

ロビンの「生ぎたい！」との叫び。「I WANT TO LIVE!!」と訳されていますが、日本語の「生ぎたい！」のほうが強い表現となっています。「I WANT TO LIVE」は日本語では「ikitai」となる。しかしロビンは「igitai!」と、濁音が入った叫びをしている。「き(ki)」→「ぎ(gi)」 普段は知的で冷静なロビンが、涙を流し鼻水も流し言葉を濁しながら「生ぎたい！」と叫んでいる事に心が揺さぶられました。私は当時このシーンを 少年ジャンプで読み感動し、アニメで声優さんの技量に更に感動しました。ONE PIECEでも屈指の名シーンです。

I love Robins backstory, its my favorite of the series.

Saw Robins backstory, was about if im not wrong 8-10 years ago. Still makes me cry a river even though ih've seen other yt reactors as well. the feeling of that "deri shishi" hearing it first time and thinking of how funny this is and then hearing it again, with Robin sitting in that boat all alone trying to cheer herself by saying these words "deri shishi deri shishi" . . And I have a cat, her name is Nico.

[@Higsby100]

26:58 first of all, I love the idea of a goat being used as a paper shredder. To your question though, Kuzan said that he wasn't like the bastard Sakazuki. Plus he was close friends with Saul. He had his morals thrown into question then had to kill his friend. His friend's last goal was to get Robin off the island and he wanted to honor that. Also, the WG is the one that started all the CP9 stuff after Robin. Kuzan was just the official signature needed for them to be able to use a buster call.

Luffy understood that his words would never reach robins heart. Her doubt and insecurity of her past was stopping her from letting them in. Luffy had to “show” her that her enemies are his now. So now she doesn’t have a reason to refuse him. Omg the writing is so dam good.

[@l3nsman]

Kuzan is definitely one of the "good ones" as far as marines go and he is the living proof that a good person can only do so much within a corrupt system. Ultimately, you can't change a bad system, the system changes *you.* And that's the ultimate tragedy of the marines. At their heart of hearts most marines are good people with good hearts who want to do good things. But at the end of the day they are soldiers and they have to follow orders. Orders that come from the worst kinds of people. So inevitably they either fold and follow the system like Kuzan or follow their conscience and leave it, like Saul.

[@tenjezimmerer34]

Funnily enough I do agree with Aokoji’s point that justice depends on which side you stand on, that’s sadly how the real world works too. Let me preference this by saying I’m not for the mass eradication of a country just because they learned a dark secret or even the suppression knowledge but rather that we all as individuals have a different perception of what’s right and what’s wrong; and we fight to protect our ideals. Our ideals or morals change depending on who you surround yourself with. I do think that everyone of the higher ups within the Navy/world government are ultimately evil/crooked but they employ regular people, mass civilians who are just there to do their jobs. As sad as it is to think about most of those regular marines there must’ve been just “following orders”, which at the end of the day is a solider/marines job. Plus I think Aokoji’s such a complicated character that battles with “the sense of justice” throughout the show and he still stands by that statement he made even till now in the manga as well. He ebbs and flows with where he stand and who he stands with, that’s just what makes him one of my favorites. Sorry for geeking out lmao
