My First Time Reaction to ONE PIECE! | Episodes 1-3

[@undeadMonk]

Disclaimer: Not a linguist, just a weeb. Anyway, quick guide to japanese suffixes: -sama is a suffix used to convey great respect, over and above the norm. (The leader of a country, for example. Coby uses it for Alvida out of fear) -san is for regular respect - the equivalent of sir, mister, madame, miss, etc. -chan is a diminutive suffix used to show affection - usually used for female friends/peers and very young children of both genders -kun is a suffix used to show affection, usually for male friends/peers (can generally be thought of as the male equivalent to -chan) Using someone's name just on its own, no suffixes added, can be either a sign of a close friendship or a sign of disrespect, depending on context.

[@BenBenReacts]

Ooh thank you! As an anime noob, I really appreciate this comment!

[@GetemNewellRules]

I watch a lot of anime and I’ve never known this, thanks!

[@livelaughlovesanji]

Yes this!! 🤩 And it’s good to notice because there will be some key future instances where say, a character who normally uses suffixes, will suddenly drop them for a specific person, showing their relationship falling apart... OR on the flip side, a character who doesn’t care to use them, suddenly starts using them for a person, showing they’ve grown fond of or started to warm up to/respect the person they were initially wary of. It’s not easy to convey well in English subtitles, so noticing these little instances heightens the emotions of scenes 😍 (spoiler examples): Pudding: "Sanji!!! .....san~" or when Nami slaps Sanji after he fights with Luffy, she drops the "kun" and just flat-out calls him "Sanji" before slapping him

[@RavinousStudios]

Thanks for letting people know this. This knowledge really helps as knowing the different honorifics since which one is being used comes up quite frequently showing how characters think of one another... usually if they're seen as using a disrespectful one since they can start fights.

[@sarafontanini7051]

though chan is also often used to denote cuteness and/or liking someone a lot, a lot of anime have characters use -chan to show how little they give a shit about decorum or how much theylike the character regardless of how theother character feels, and rarely as a passive-agressive taunt (like treaitng someone like a weak child)

[@IgnitedTori]

Reason why luffy is just such a goat if there’s a face that needs punching you will see no hesitation or regret from him

[@amandasamson4513]

Agreed! Luffy just does what all of us wish we could do i

[@iczzephyr]

Truer words has never been spoken before (actually there's probably a bunch more but you get what I mean, lol)

[@fictionforlife59]

Peolple think he is just a average shounen mc who spam "never give up" or "mada mada " in every ten second . But it's not true though , he got so many unique qualities , that no other character has .

"I'm gonna wait you in land of wano. Come with all cost"

[@arioskycollado1096]

Ayy welcome to the crew! Luffys smile and laugh is infectious is hard not laugh along with him glad he suprised you a bit. Enjoy the journey!

[@BenBenReacts]

Thank you my friend! Loving the journey so far!

[@naajilcp9643]

This guys so underrated 🔥

[@Just-Jamel]

The first part of one piece is extremely funny which is something most people don’t expect

[@MarikitKaNa]

Really enjoyed your opening reactions, so I'm glad you're doing this! Also, Luffy is very funny and goofy! He's so lovable.

[@BenBenReacts]

He’s hilarious 😄 Thanks so much for watching!

[@Bruhjosh030]

Also in the future when the time card like the title for the episode begins always block it or like cover your screen because they spoil the episode

[@IgnitedTori]

I’ve been waiting for this

[@vincy8084]

"The first bit of the show wud be him gathering his crew"....umm We are 1060 eps in and our guy is still gathering the crew

[@OnePieceIsPeace]

Found your channel and the OP opening reactions on the weekend and subscribed in hope for OP reactions. Let's see how long it will take to get some tears out of you

[@BenBenReacts]

I’m looking forward to becoming attached to the characters! Great to have you here 🙂

[@Stefan0v1]

If you like the beginning of the show, the only way is up.

[@peterthegreat6385]

You are great reactor, guess i ll just rewatch one piece with you lol

[@BenBenReacts]

Wooo! I appreciate it Peter. Thanks for joining me for the ride!

[@livelaughlovesanji]

Omg I reacted the exact same way seeing luffy for the first time, he was way goofier and funnier than I expected a main character to be-and I absolutely fell in LOVE with his character from the start lol, he’s such a unique breath of fresh air. 🙏🏼🥹 These were such fun reactions!! You picked up on a lot of great things, too. 🙌🏼🙌🏼 can’t wait for the rest, I know based on your reaction that you’ll love the rest One Piece has to offer because it continues to get better from here. Like all shows, it has its small ups and downs, but One Piece always trends upwards 😎I originally started the series as a deal with my husband lol (he watched a show I recommended, now it was my turn to watch one piece at his request), and seeing the 1000 episodes was daunting…but after witnessing Luffy’s antics the very first episode, I just knew I was gonna love the entire ride 🤩, and after catching up 1000+ episodes simply isn’t long enough 😂

[@BenBenReacts]

I can’t wait to experience the journey 😄

[@7thlittleleopard7]

RE Suffixes: Sama is used to show respect. It is usually from someone under another (say a lower-rung minion to a boss) to show respect. If you were a prince and your father was king, you would probably call him by -sama in front of other people but in private you wouldn't unless you were being formal. San denotes a polite way of talking to someone. It often takes the place of Mr/Mrs/etc as a formal way of indicating that you're being polite to them. Usually between equals of the same standing. Chan is used for close friends or someone younger than you, usually children. If you use -chan with someone similar in age to you, it denotes that you're very close. It can be swapped with -kun, which is a more masculine version, but both can be used for either gender, though comes across more playful/teasing if a boy is called by chan or a girl is called by kun. It really depends on the situation. If your bully is calling you by -chan and you're male, he's looking down on you. If your twin sister is calling you by -chan and you're male, it's probably in a more jokey/playful way. It pretty much means 'cute/little'. Tan, Swan, chwan, etc are cutesy ways of using chan/kun. Sensei denotes a professional of some kind - usually a teacher or doctor. It's usually used by a student to their teacher or a patient to a doctor, showing respect. Sempai is usually under-classmen to upper-classment but it can also be used by people in the same field towards a more experienced but technically equal person in the same field, or someone you highly respect in the same field as you. The opposite, from upper to under, is Kohai. So for a quick example, Kaa-chan would be the equivalent of Mummy or mama, but Okaa-san would be equal to Mum or Mother and Okaa-sama would be very formal way of saying Mother. Tou-chan would be a cutesy way to call your father (like daddy), Tou-san would be equivilent to Dad and Otou-sama would be Father - a lot more formal and respectful. These suffixes really help you gauge various relationships between people. As for how to call Luffy? Just Luffy is fine unless you're wanting to break out the full name, in which case, you put respect on the D. >.

[@belleville1805]

I always love to go again in this journey with new react people, especially those who really does not know anything about anime

[@davidcruzbruh818]

Finally, I’ve been waiting to see your reaction to these. So glad you’re enjoying the episodes, I’ll definitely be here for the long run with you

[@BenBenReacts]

Thanks so much David! Great to have you here. Looking forward to the ride!

[@astronot7898]

[@ZISHANkun]

The road is long but the journey is half the reward

[@lazyhime4365]

It's so fun seeing your reaction to one piece 😂 ooh watching it subbed, when I first saw it as a kid it was in dub so usually watch it like that 😃 (one of the few I don't mind dubbed)

[@phobic1818]

Welcome aboard Nakama ❤️

[@DIZIZNOTAMOON_LOOKCLOSELY]

Sadly, we can no longer use the line "WE'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU AT THE LAND OF WANO" Pretty sure it's already ended before you catch up lol

[@luffytaro728]

3:44 yes indeed

[@allnightercinema]

Can’t wait for these reactions! Just wondering how often will you be uploading these?

[@BenBenReacts]

At least once a week :) Sometimes twice a week if things are less busy. I'm considering doing One Piece and Jojo's at the same time

[@ssjsergei]

Let's go 🔥 I believe you will be watching the chapters by your own, I'm glad you upload a video for us 🙌🏻

[@hilmanhax]

[@ideo6834]

and im getting that PATREON RIGHT NOW

[@BenBenReacts]

Ayyyy let’s go 😄 I really appreciate that! Glad to have you here!

[@crazydave6210]

Sama, chan, san, kun, tan are all ways of addressing a person. For example, sama is used for a revered person. So if I say Luffy sama, it would mean Great Luffy or Luffy God literally. San is generally used for an elderly person. Chan is used for a girl who is similar in age to the person speaking. Tan is just a cutesy way of chan. Kun is used just like chan but for a boy instead.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

Not quite... right... Sama is to denote respect. It is usually from someone under another (say a lower-rung minion to a boss) to show respect. You would call a king or lord sama or dono, depending on how much you're trying to suck up to them. If you were a prince and your father was king, you would probably call him by -sama in front of other people but in private you wouldn't unless you were being formal. San denotes a polite way of talking to someone. It often takes the place of Mr/Mrs/etc as a formal way of indicating that you're being polite to them. Usually between equals of the same standing. Chan is used for close friends or someone younger than you, usually children. If you use -chan with someone similar in age to you, it denotes that you're very close. It can be swapped with -kun, which is a more masculine version, but both can be used for either gender, though comes across more playful if a boy is called by chan or a girl is called by kun.

New subs here because of onepiece

[@asdffdsa8951]

I just caught the last episode on this last week, this anime sometimes makes people laugh and sometimes even a adult man makes cry, good choice i recommend watch at least until Arlong Park episode its coresponds to about 40 episode later i guess

[@AegeanGaming]

Keep it up, only 1050 ep left as of now and your all cought up! 🤣 its a super fun anime with the most crazy and fucked up characters ull ever see in a anime xD

[@traceyandrob13]

Welcome to the One Piece World Nakama and hope you enjoy it like I d Just a warning try not to look at the titles as they can be spoiler if want be surprise. Nakama means colleague, compatriot, friend or comrade. But in the One Piece it means close like a family.

[@sarafontanini7051]

to this day, noone knows how the fuck luffy broke those swords

Imagine if you were watching the 4kids version by mistake

[@DustinDLuffy]

You should really watch "one piece the greatest story ever told" its really good

[@whgaming1344]

Tips for spoiler free journey: 1. You already saw the opening themes, just skip them 2. Skip the title screen forever 3. skip the recap 4. skip the filler 5. skip the ending themes

[@michalvrabec454]

So... recommendation from me: skip previews and episode titles. But only if u want to avoid spoilers, if not then it doesn't really matter this early on in the series... but later on it's going to become a problem and everyone should be avoiding them.

[@BenBenReacts]

That's so interesting that they do it that way. I'll try to remember to avoid the titles cards from now on

[@7thlittleleopard7]

@@BenBenReacts The reason they do this is because by the time the anime had come out One Piece was already quite popular in Japan and so, most people had already read it so it wasn't really spoiling anything that anyone who would have watched the anime didn't already know. It's definitely a hurdle for new watchers to keep an eye out for, though.

[@Maidhi]

One Piece ❤

[@torra1382]

the hat has nothin to do with blocking the swords or her bat, luffy's just tanky lol

[@phobic1818]

Just one basic advice every One Piece watcher knows... Never watch the opening, the ending, the preview at the end of the episode and the title of the episode Enjoy One Piece - the greatest story 🔥

[@CoolCatDoingAKickflip]

Make sure to not look at the titles for some of the episodes as they can spoil the episode.

[@phantomstarlight1366]

Seeing the first reaction being 1-3 is a little painful as episode 4 has chapter 1 of the manga.

[@اوستنثربسكتي]

💚💚💚💚

[@tyara6654]

Lets goooooooooooooo

[@PhantomFt26]

Please skip intros and don't read the episodes title Since most of them are spoilers. Love ur reaction man but I think it is too short due to copyright issues I think so!.

[@amandasamson4513]

don't bother with the titles. they sometimes spoil, but other times they just confuse you.

[@athoscannavo8919]

DONT WATCH ANY OPENINGS FOR YOUR REACTIONS PLEASE! THEY ARE ULTRA SPOILERY! Im amazed that you started One Piece, but i Seriously, wholeheartedly recommend you dont watch those. One Piece is famous for spoiling even manga readers on its openings. Some openings have spoilers from 500+ episodes later. Opening 3 is speacially spoiled, it might ruin 50 episodes for you if you see it by mistake

[@BenBenReacts]

Oh no! I’ve already watched them in another reaction video lol 😅 Thankfully I didn’t have a great idea of what was going on yet so I’m not sure a lot of what I saw I’ll remember as I’m watching the episode.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

@@BenBenReacts There's a few that include spoilers for the end of their respective arcs... at the start of the arcs. There's one that goes through three arcs of spoilers in one - so it's a good idea to wait for an arc or two before checking out those openings again. Likely they figured at the time of those arcs that the manga was already a huge phenomenon in Japan so they wouldn't be spoiling much to anyone who wanted to watch... alas for the rest of the world who wasn't caught up at the time. >.

[@depoopy6498]

Tip: Don’t read the titles they spoil like alot

[@scumdog666]

Don't worry, Coby comes back later and it's awesome 👍

[@PichNuts]

Yeah, man. Adding "sama" as a suffix to a name is an "honorific". Like, if one was to teach someone something, you'd add "senpai" to their name.
