I wanna say, since a large portion of this video is about sharing our experiences, that I actually got into One Piece because the Best Guy Ever himself! One Piece had always been in my periphery and I decided to look up a little about what it's about from someone who is in deep, and so I stumbled upon a little video called 'One Piece 101 a PCP university lecture'. Hearing about some of the cool stuff in One Piece and also seeing BGE's sheer passion and enthusiasm for it in that video made me pause the video for spoilers and go watch One Piece, and I am eternally grateful to him for the introduction to what has become one of my favorite pieces of media of all time, good stuff sir!

[@davi0121]

I started watching/reading One Piece a decade ago, near the reveal of Gear 4. I had been reading Naruto and Bleach weekly to that point, and as Bleach was ending and Naruto already had, there was a hole in my manga consumption. I tried it and I spent a straight month to get caught up right around the start of Zou. While I did like it and appreciate it a lot back then, the longer I read weekly and it became routine to do so, it slowly and sneakily started to climb my rankings of favourite things. Next month, I'll have been reading One Piece weekly for a decade. One Piece is not just my favourite manga, but one of my favourite stories, period.

The accurate predictions of Shirley are probably INSANE brief bursts of perfect observation haki that she can't control

[@iiLivingMeme]

@53:00 That is what turned most of my friends off to the series and to be completely honest, it really changed the way I thought about everything that came before it. Not only the Haki aspect, but the "Ok Luffy didn't eat the GumGum fruit, he ate THE Sun God fruit." What BGE is saying about Luffy just being some guy and accomplishing these things on sheer luck and willpower, albeit with a little help from his friends, resonated with a lot of people and was very endearing. It set One Piece apart from other Shounen. It's like watching YuYu Hakusho and being like, "Damn Yusuke is badass and got there by training the whole series," and then having ,"Nah actually he's the bloodline of a demon king or some shit," dropped on you. You're like, "OHHH of course he would beat Toguro then." You can't look at Yusuke the same just like you can't look at Luffy the same. Just kind of sucked some of the magic out of it in my opinion. Edit: @1:12:24 and then he literally uses the same argument. Like anyone who has watched anime for a prolonged period feels some type of way about it and I guess those are the kinds of things you think about when you're a 34yo anime fan. Either way, you love it or you hate it. It's very polarizing Edit #2 @1:16:00 To Shaybs...John Silvers is basically Buggy's arc and he was even after Captain John's Treasure, a treasure amassed by John's whole crew and then hidden away resulting in a mutiny just like Captain Flint's treasure which "Treasure Island" gets its name from. You could go on with it, but the dots are all there if you spend enough time researching.

[@profiesx]

You know what I've been following One piece since I was 10 and there is absolutely nothing I really dislike about it and that's fine people shouldn't be forced to have a negative outlook on something just to have a "fair & honest" opinion, negative criticism is not superior to positive ones. 1:37:30 I dissagree mainly because I think every single chapter of One piece is peak! But I'm not really opposed to negative takes on One Piece and you're a big reason for that, I remember listening to your podcast back when WCI was running and while I loved every chapter you seemed to hate a lot of them, so I thought "Does this guy even like One piece?" but after you dropped your katakuri video(Which was great BTW) I was like this guy really loves One piece so it just comes down to the individual while I love everything about one piece not everyone does but that's fine. At the end of the day I can't think of a single modern story that makes people this obsessed just think of how much time we've spent with it, we're all just crazy about One piece whether we like everything about it or not.

Zoans have a will of their own, Nika's refuses to be captured by the World Government. Nika has promised to return and bring liberation. Those with the will of D have a "checkered fate" as the "enemies of the gods". Roger insisted that his son, a D, would be the chosen one, so Shanks took the Nika fruit to Dawn Island to give the fruit to Ace. However, Shanks met Luffy first, Luffy "said the same thing Roger said", and Nika CHOSE him. Luffy had a lot going for him; Garp and Dragon's D blood, Garp's survival training-- but that *spark*, the SPIRIT of freedom that Nika embodies, was a quality of Luffy's alone. Luffy had to nearly die to awaken Nika, and even then, Zoan fruits often overwhelm the personalities of their holders upon awakening- but Luffy remains Luffy. Nika may have been fated to return, but Luffy 100% EARNED the right to be his avatar.

[@aidanklobuchar1798]

I don't think characters not dying is the real issue. Rampant character death would massively change the style and feel of the story. To have character death be somewhat common and maintain the serious overall comic atmosphere would push it more towards something like Chainsaw Man. I think the actual issue is how death is handled. On one hand, you have the fakeout deaths that serve no real purpose and feel like a weird form of Oda comedy. On the other, you have the occasional death that just isn't handled with the necessary gravitas. Ace was great. The Merry was great, etc. But I barely remember how Izo died and can't remember how Ashura Doji did. Why did the fakeout have more gravitas than the real thing? Sure, IRL death can be random, quick, meaningless, etc. But this is a story. And a story with that kind of death handling is more Game of Thrones than One Piece.

[@aidanklobuchar1798]

Also, the fundamental flaw of the battle system are the Logias. Their introduction necessitated the invention of standard ways to deal with them. Without them, you'd just have to give everyone Seastone weapons, which would fundamentally do the same thing. How are Shanks and Roger and Rayleigh standing up to the likes of Kizaru, Akainu, Kuzan, etc. otherwise?

[@ralfsstuff]

I don't really mind the fake outs in insolation. Let's take Peru/Pell for example. He knew he probably wouldn't make it out alive and still chose to sacrifice himself for Vivi and the kingdom. The fact he didn't die in the end doesn't diminish his heroism or the amount of courage and inner strength he displayed that day. What I do mind though, is how often Oda uses fake out deaths throughout the story. It's kinda hard to really live in the moment feel for a character when you're always aware that it's probably just another bait and switch scenario

[@sarov7658]

​@@ralfsstuffthat's a shounen issue tbh and I don't mind much in binge format for most cases

[@wyattmund9286]

Right, I’ve never thought One Piece needed a much higher death count. I wouldn’t be upset if few characters died at all, it’s just extremely annoying and unsatisfying how Oda tries to have his cake and eat it too. He loves death fake outs, he wants the pathos and week by week twists to make people surprised - with so, so many scenes framed as if this was a death scene. He’ll stage it like a death, only to roll it pack somewhere between 1 chapter and a few hundred later. I absolutely don’t think One Piece should be grimdark or have tons more dead - but Oda is entirely to blame for constantly writing scenarios that setup these “death scenes”, which have the exact opposite effect of what he intends. I never worry much about the characters dying, that’s not where the tension comes from - but the death fakeouts totally kill my immersion and pull me right out. I suddenly feel skeptical and just don’t buy anything about the scene I’m currently reading. I love One Piece and have been reading for over 10 years, but it’s Oda’s most irritating writing trope for me.

I think Oda has made it pretty clear that the Nika fruit didn't make Luffy, Luffy made the Nika fruit. In 800 years no one else was able to awaken it, eating it isn't an automatic win button, you have to have the right spirit and drive to make most of it, and it took 12 years of training and countless near death experiences for Luffy to do that. He had to have the rubber like quality to be willing to bounce back no matter how thin he got stretched to eventually earn the powers of the rubber god, with a weaker personality he would've remained regular rubber forever.

[@wwe12153]

[@jasonjacksonii1805]

@@wwe12153 yeah the guy basically flat out says nika fruit diminishes luffys pretime skip accomplishments. He asks if that was luffys strength of will to save his friends, or was that just fate because he ate the nika fruit, and joyboy needed his full crew to fulfil his destiny. I think the big reason people hate nika fruit is like bge says, because it diminishes Luffys primary trait being the embodiment of freedom. I think this is just a misunderstanding of the primary beliefs of taoism. Following Wu Wei or your destiny is supposed to be natural and easy, and feels like true freedom.

[@bradleycoates6297]

It's the same reason Naruto was soured for me. If you introduce destiny and prophecy elements, even if subdued, there will always be a nagging feeling of, are the accomplishments REALLY due to hard work, strength of will and perseverance? Or were they simply destined to withstand those hardships to fulfil a prophecy? It's honestly so prevalent in Japanese storytelling, I'm eager if there's anyone who's studied this properly and found why it's so prevalent. There always has to be an explanation why the MC is actually a pure bred, god among men. He can never be an average Joe who trains hard. It feels like the Japanese are saying you can only make it in life if your born lucky and are destined for great things.

[@wwe12153]

[@jasonjacksonii1805]

@@bradleycoates6297 It's prevalent due to the popularity of buddism, shintoism, and taoism. This culture doesn't see destiny as a trap, or something that controls you. Luffy being destined to be king of the pirates doesnt down grade his accomplishments. Rather proves that he followed his way, with the maximum freedom possible. I would recommend looking up Wu Wei for a better explanation. Basically freedom and detachment allows one to do action through non action. wheras if he were not free and clinged to virtue or the images of the dao, then his actions would not be for himself. He saved his friends because he was destined to do it, is the same as saying that he saved his friends because he fought as hard as he could and never gave them up. If he had less freedom, he would've shy'd away from certain threats without even making the attempt.

Remember that you needed to awaken the fruit and that in and of itself is already a rare occurence among devil fruit users. For context in canon there are only 12 confirmed awakened devil fruit users (i'm not counting the Gorosei until we get the name of the Fruits and I'm not counting Joyboy for various potential reasons why the gum gum fruit did not exist at the time)

[@w.o.jackson8432]

Nate would also (rightfully) take issue with that. How does one awaken a devil fruit? It is essentially an asspull with no explanation. Fan theories include "you have to get really good with your fruit," or "you have to be pushed to the brink of death," but neither of these are unique to Wano.

In one piece the nika fruit, makes Luffy like Naruto, the chosen one/reincarnation, TOP 3 devil fruit.

Seastone exists, so there no need for haki. Haki ruined so much.

[@sparxskywriter2589]

Sea stone and natural counter elements. Enel and Crocodile existed before haki, why are you just lying?

Is good

Gonna channel my inner Endless Jess and really show my neutrality. On one hand, yes I miss One Piece before Haki, and liked fights before its inclusion into the world. On the other missing Shanks hand, I’ve grown to accept it and still enjoy cool moments with it. I prefer Dragon Ball before ki blasts and universal flight, because the fights felt more dynamic; but naturally such elements became a staple of the story. Much like haki. And there’s possibly still things to be discovered about Haki that could make it more interesting. But it could also be made worse by over explaining. One piece isn’t perfect, I wish folks could accept critiquing something does not mean the absence of love for something. Clearly BGE loves One Piece, otherwise why would he care enough to think about it this much.

I thought one piece fans were meant to look more mainstream these days
