NEVER AGAIN Will There be an Arc Like Sabaody Archipelago - One Piece: The Duology of Sabaody

One of the things that you might not catch if you watched One Piece long after it was aired is the 3D2Y tattoo... it truly took 2 REAL LIFE YEARS before we got to see the whole crew again. That was just fantastic and it's something that's usually lost to people who come to One Piece long after it was first aired.

[@SwerveNation]

Is that true?

[@GuysCupank]

@@SwerveNation it is true. I read One Piece long before the crew's defeat

[@zulhilmi5787]

Not the longest though. The longest is when they're separated in dressrosa only to be together again when they went for kaido.

[@iagohb]

Chapter 597 "3D2Y" was released on August 30th 2010 Chapter 598 "2 Years Later" was released on September 4th 2010 The time between the tattoo and the reunion was only 55 days Although yes, the time to see the crew reunited was 2 years

"I still have my crew!" was THE best moment for me. After my brother passed away from covid I was neck-deep in depression. So I rewatched the things we liked watching together, and when I got to this part I just cried my ass off, for a day. But not of sadness. It reminded me of the guilt of not doing more things with him, how for a time I felt without a reason to live, and how my friends and family supported me non-stop. Personal bias, yes, but the way this moment perfectly summed up how it is to loose someone saved my life.

[@thecelgames2937]

It's crazy because Luffy had to face defeat of losing his crew literally an arc after facing Moria who knows that pain and was crushed by it. I think Kuma very much did that on purpose

[@LUCKO2022]

And they barely beat Moria at that. If not for Lola and her crew giving Luffy all those shadows, I doubt they would have been able to take down Oars and Moria. Even at that they still had a hell of a time taking out Moria and came so close to death.

[@BeatEngine-qr7if]

Yes, even back then when the Thriller Bark chapters first aired, it wasn’t lost among the fans that Gecko Moria was warning Luffy about what it means to lose your crew in the New World. This was when we as fans still barely knew what the New World was.

[@Wykes]

On top of Oda setting the expectations that he doesn't kill off characters, I think Ace is a special case. You talk about authors looking at major character deaths as a possible "wasted potential" but that doesn't apply to Ace because he has had far more screen time post death than he ever did alive. We have gotten to understand Ace as a character better than most others all after he was killed, so Oda got to have his cake and eat it too.

[@Pangora2]

I think some deaths do carry more potential. One Piece would have been weaker, - less potential - if Ace lived.

Honestly, I think one of the reasons why Oda made Kuma ask the vacation question prior to making Zoro disappear is because it was suppose to be a clue for one piece fans. Back in Thriller Bark Kuma asked Perona the same question before she disappeared. So for some readers they see it as an odd question and for other readers they will be thinking… “Oh no…”

[@christopher6600]

Another aspect of Sabaody that really contributed to the subversion of expectations is that we knew Fishman Island would be next. Bare in mind that Fishman Island was the first island in the Grand Line to be name dropped all the way back in East Blue. It was right up there with Elbaf and Wano as one of the most anticipated islands by the fanbase. The fact that we were FINALLY about to reach Fishman Island made the possibility for setback or delay seem virtually impossible. This is probably lost on anyone who wasn't following weekly but the hype surrounding namedropped islands was huge.

[@arcticlimbo]

This is very true. I felt that exact way I figured we had such a big place coming nothing would stop them. At least not like that

[@CrimS727]

Let's not forget that if it weren't for Ace going after Blackbeard, Luffy could've been the one to get arrested and executed. The thought of Blackbeard pre-timeskip capturing Luffy and possibly killing his crew, still haunts me. Luffy got off lucky that his friends were send to become stronger by Kuma and in his stead his brother got captured.

[@vandriff]

"Luffy punches Charlos back into the manga" gave me a full-on hearty laugh. Its just too true...

[@commonviewer2488]

The closest I've seen other Shonen get to this level of defeat would be Ichigo being betrayed by X-Cution. Even then, Ichigo had someone save him from his darkest hour before any lasting damage could be done. Oda took _everything_ from Luffy, and we felt it for quite some time.

I started reading One piece in 2007, I caught up to weekly chapters in 2008 towards the end of Thriller Bark. Reading this as it was coming out was definitely a weird experience. My expectation was that the supernova who where introduced would be shown being defeated and or captured. Since there where on the same level as the strawhats they would be shown as sacrifical lambs, then strawhats meeting back up in 3 days. The confusion and disbelief this caused in the community is an experince I can relive thanks to youtubers picking up the series and getting to this point. Thanks for the video

[@minimina1313]

I got into the manga just before this arc started all those years ago and to this day, i still remember how i felt reading this. Sabaody was such an exciting arc. Meeting the supernovas and rayleigh, the reintroduction of hachi, the bright vibes of the archipelagh, and that one incredibly satisfying punch. And then it all came crashing down and it HURT. The arc was written nearly 15 years ago but it's still imbedded in my brain as one of the absolute best.

[@KoKoDWitch]

Ty for talking about how much you enjoyed Return To Sabody The cheer amount of joy I get from seeing Luffy smile ear to ear from reuniting with his friends and the great job Mayumi ( voice actress) did to convey that joy in his voice always brings happy tears to my eyes. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone else on video talk about how great of a small arc it was bc of the fake straw hats gag 😭 It’s the small arc I’ve probably rewatched most next to Zou

[@LHPottery]

The Sabaody arc destroyed the ability to take victory for granted in any arc that came after it. Marineford drove that home even further where there were no happy endings. Among other things, that raised the tension at Dressrosa.

[@aj_pulliam]

[@Shaun1738]

If you’re a fan of a good reunion then I would suggest the anime ‘kids on the slope’. It’s significantly shorter, maybe just one of those 12 episode ones but the ending is so bittersweet to me it makes me tear up whenever I see it. But since it’s so short it seems like there’s a lot of missed potential for the story and it kind of feels like pieces are missing but I still love it. It’s mainly about this group of 3 who find a common interest in jazz music and end up becoming really close. It’s a simple one but it got me into jazz music which led to a domino effect that ended up changing my whole outlook on life, just like one piece.

[@SadToffee]

Something i think is overlooked is that the pacafistas were specifically set up to be a "big threat for later", it felt like they were going to have massive ramifications on the story, they were hyped up so hard, which added to the idea of the straw hats escaping, and then later having to contend with the pacafistas. And then, kuma booped them.

[@gravellergear4703]

My jaw dropped this whole arc. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. I've never watched an anime where I was just gobsmacked.

[@Nekotaiga42]

The first time I ever saw this arc, at the end when they all vanished, I sat there staring at the screen speechless for a few minutes before saying "Whelp, they're dead. Story over, everyone died. I can live with this." I then didn't watch the next episode for a literal year. Kind of silly since my favorite antagonist ended up being in the next arc (Magellan from Impel down. He was awesome) but man that was such an emotional scene.

[@jpickens189]

Sabaody Archipalego will probably always be my favorite arc of One Piece, and that is because the main characters do the morally right thing, and it is very satisfying, but its results are also almost completely disastrous for everyone involved. It is also the moment that most profoundly establishes the power structure that the World Government and the marines exist to defend, how much we want to see it crumble to the ground, and how helpless the Straw Hats are against its overwhelming force. As much as I love Marineford and Eines Lobby, I don't think any of them did as much to define or call into questions the core ethos of the series as Sabaody.

[@Sigma4k_]

Ironic that egghead is being setup similar to sabaody. now I know the outcome will not be the same or close to it since oda already announced the final saga, but its the same exact circumstances, in fact the strawhats are in a bigger problem on egghead. The largest buster call we have seen, an admiral, a blackbeard ship, a fucking gorosei, cp0. the strawhats are in for a fight, one I think they stand a chance in this time.

[@tokinadatsunayashiro1279]

And now we're at Hachinosu, watching a recreation of marineford with Koby and Garp that can't end without a character death. *EDIT* There's also Kidd who might have died (for the narrative, I hope he did sorry Kidd fans)

This was the *Straw Hat Pirates* how did they get wiped out so easily? It was horrifying! Of course now we have a wider context but at the time it was (and probably still is) completely jaw-dropping. Then when they finally reunited two years later I think I was actually yelling with joy in my little uni student room. Good times. Catharsis is definitely the right word. And I also really like your use of "we" throughout the video instead of "Straw Hats". One of the things I like the most is how easy it is to feel like you're actually on the journey with Luffy and his crew, so that was a really cool way of communicating that.

Oda and his editors have been consistent on the progress of One Piece during officially confirmed interviews. We were at 80% at the beginning of Wano so we can assume it's at least 85% if not 90% done at the moment. The manga is in the current final saga.

I didn't know how many episodes were there and when I went to watch I wasn't looking at what episode I was in I just hit the next episode button and kept on going. When Kuma started to do his thing I honestly thought they were getting executed for a moment until Luffy got hit. So I actually was getting emotional seeing these guys get sent off to different Island.
