Nico Robin Backstory Broke Me | One Piece-Enies Lobby Arc | Ep. 275-278

[@BizzareSaiyan2000-cx7iz]

Big Racoon Time!!

[@budman1289]

I've seen Robin say it 10x over, still let out a tear everytime LMAO

[@theculturedgentleman3699]

Same

[@manbeard8678]

Only 10x? amateure :P

[@delaneycharlie4521]

yeah those are rookie numbers im at 12,324th time

[@wadeo_0]

EVERY SINGLE TIME

[@moontah96]

same lmao😂😂

[@Enyoiyourself]

The lore in Robin's backstory is a turning point on the series, absolute gold. Also the declaration of war towards the World Government will always be top 5 moments in this series. Absolute cinema.

[@gabrieltaylor8627]

Damn straight! 👍🏻

[@electroslimeEN]

fun fact but robins kid voice was an actual child and she nailed every line during this backstory. 😭😭😭😭

[@Matty80822]

no kidding?! that was really good for a kid

[@Sataandagi96]

Everbody just turning into Franky crying at the end of ep 278. It's hilarious. 😂🤣

[@ssjokg4952]

One thing that isnt immediately obvious but gets me every time is that Robin is a grown ass woman. Luffy and the others are just kids. Yes they can sink ships, can fight Marines, other dangerous pirates etc but they are still not even past their teenage years. Their blood is burning to follow their dreams and push back any obstacle in their way. Robin is twice as old. You dont even need her past to give up on dreams or goals. Her entire life since she was 8 she has faced the entire world just to survive another day. To her, Crocodile was her last chance as far as she was concerned. She even begged Luffy to let her die in the ruins. Joining Luffy on random adventures was, to me at least, just a whim of a woman that had already given up. She was travelling with them but was always at a distance putting up barriers between them. Seeing her finally breaking that barrier and crying, saying she wants to live from the bottom of her heart is always heartbreaking.

[@christina_1313]

Yeah, I think making Robin older than the rest was really important. She was probably thinking about how young and full of dreams they were when she gave herself up. And I guess she was greateful that her death could buy the lifes of people she cared about and thus not be so utterly meaningless

[@Sussy_Bottom_Boys]

Robin's child voice is so damn cute.

[@QueenBlaze]

Agree

[@Kingj1111]

Reminds me of Chihiro from spirited away don’t you think?

[@Alpha-bn6cj]

Especially when she laughs! I hate the Government for taking her innocence away

[@Aviertje]

I recall looking her up at one point because I loved that voice so much, but I think this is the last role she ever did. Maybe she decided voice acting wasn't for her? Kinda sad because she killed it! There is someone else who voices a young Robin later in the series, unfortunately. Anzu Nagai's presence in this flashback is iconic and does a great job of making people forget that Nico Olivia is voiced by the same seiyu that does adult Nico Robin!

[@ChezaWR]

It wasn't included in the reaction, but the way the light sudden blasts away the darkness around Robin after Sogeking shoots the flag was one of the most memorable little touches in that last scene for me...

[@Supernovice942]

The backstories always kill me, Robins is crazy, the void century, the heart break and finally her declaration that she wants to live ❤❤ amazing

[@justanotherguy9516]

Law's backstory made me have depression 😂

[@musamuhammad5647]

Bro come on now. Nobody needs to know about that right now.

[@carlin843]

@@justanotherguy9516Just another idiot saying unnecessary things.

[@xXFoiXx]

We are all Franky at the end there.

[@supleted]

Queenblaze at the start of Water 7: I'm done with Robin! Queenblaze Now: I am the racoon.

[@QueenBlaze]

lol, pretty much

[@AnimeIntrospective]

It's such a well executed twist, the way you anticipate that something is up with Robin when she joined, we let our guard down after a while and oda came back full throttle to that anticipation we forgot about, we just knew something was up with Robin because it felt like she didn't earn her spot, then this twist.. how we were pretty much punished for doubting her. It's so fuggin good I was in tears too for the 6th or 7th time

[@RS-fy9hb]

@@AnimeIntrospective I can't count the amount of times I've seen these scenes, and just rewatched the show in general, but I always cry in these moments xD. I vividly remember the amount of times where I'd use One Piece compilations to distract myself from anything stressful or bad xD. Naruto and One Piece are probably the most influential Anime I ever watched in my life.

[@xina9032]

This backstory AND Robin's declaration to live are the reasons why this arc is my personal favorite. Thank your for reacting, it's really nice to see someone else resonating to the story me!

[@bcool9272]

No matter how many times I see it, it always moves me to tears.

[@orbboom6119]

This backstory must hit extra hard when you're a parent as well😭

[@Aviertje]

For me, those moments definitely rank high. But there is one thing (that I cannot mention because spoilers) that sell me even harder on this arc. All I can say is very vaguely that it involves both gratitude & regret. If you know, you'll know.

[@tylerlangston7538]

Yeah, Robin’s backstory gets me every time I watch it. 20+ years of wandering all alone.

[@MrTonberryFTW]

Yeah, this one broke me too. Every time. Robin's voice actress knocks it out of the park with that delivery, hits like a truck.

[@MEllOWDPRODUCTIONS]

I was waiting for this one, this backstory is brutal as hell 😭😭😭 Nico Robin deserves the world ❤❤❤

[@UltimateGamerCC]

she'll settle for her dream and the friends that she now has.

[@JlRyer]

The reality that we going to Elbaf and there's a part 2 to this is gonna be wow. Manga is wrapping up EHI ATM as anime is starting it.

[@glitterzoid2421]

The line "I Want To Live!" Hits so Hard it Always brakes me . I've never cried more in any One Piece of then these four batch of episodes. And I'm still crying here with you re-watching them

[@oceanman9643]

Oda killing it with the backstories as always

[@patricknez7258]

Robin's backstory is one of the strongest written imo. Extremely poignant and emotional. Professor Clover the man. RIP O'Hara 😢

[@jamesaulner8958]

Nu uh, kuma is

[@PsychInOz]

Still brings a tear to the eye, never get tired of watching people react to these episodes which still hit so hard. We're all Franky.

[@johnmarkulep5339]

the kid that threw the tomatoe, in the manga, it was a rock

[@Nr4747]

This moment with Robin is one of the crowning achievements within One Piece and one of the main reasons many fans unironically (well, slightly ironically) call Oda "Goda". He is a true master of set-up and pay-off and not just within flashbacks, either ! Robin's story wouldn't hit nearly as hard if we didn't have the build up at the end of the Alabasta arc and throughout the Water 7 arc.

[@isaiasquinonez4945]

Couldn’t say it better myself

[@dweeb842]

Kuzan/Aokiji a real one for letting Robin go, he wanted to grant Saul's wish of letting Robin live, he's one of the best Marine characters out there, he has a moral code unlike that dude that destroyed that ship with hundreds of innocent people and children

[@920215Gurra]

Aokiji is more good than many marines but he is not even close to marines such as Coby, Smoker, T-bone and Fujitora

[@PatrickDaviswimiwamwamwazzle]

He's always been more level headed than the average marine, but he has still done some dirty work.

[@Wyzanow]

I don’t think we get “I want to live” without them burning the flag letting her know that the government is gonna have to kill them before they can turn her in. She ran from every crew and didn’t trust anyone until this crew proved their loyalty by declaring war for her…without even knowing her story btw

[@barban534]

Yea Akainu is an ass.

[@stefthorman8548]

dunno, "that dude" that destroyed the ship was very smart, remember, if one escapes, then the whole massacre would be meaningless, and they would have to kill anyone she told the secrets to.

[@juicyskittle6020]

18:13 His name is Kuzan, his Code/Nickname is Aokiji, which means Blue Pheasant, Certain Vice Admirals and above are given these names with a Color and a Animal, if they are not given one of these nicknames they typically have a title instead while using their real name

[@Wildcard-Jack-47]

I thought only admirals got codenames which is why he was called Kuzan in this and not Aokiji

[@juicyskittle6020]

@@Wildcard-Jack-47 nope, lesser known Vice admirals like Gion and Tokikake have codenames, but this might be because Spoilers Below They were recommended to become admirals after Sakazuki became fleet admiral and Kuzan left, but Issho and Aramaki were picked instead, so they might have gotten the names for that reason, its not fully clear

[@maeschder]

Specifically, the color/animal ones are typical for admiral candidates at the least.

[@juicyskittle6020]

@@maeschder There is one exception to this, Tensei the director of the Marine Criminal Investigative Service has the Codename "Black Horse"

[@Matty80822]

@@Wildcard-Jack-47 if you're cool or did a major accomplishment you get a code name. it has nothing to do with rank. all the admirals are cool and have accomplishments. other people can still get code names. like in the real world. no one says you cant have a code name because you're not a manager haha

[@adrianadams2700]

Stunned by Flashback of Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp; choked up of Sanji's flashback and leaving Zeff, tears fell for Nami and Franky, Chopper and Robin's backstories BROKE me... will leave it there for now.

[@nathhhjjjlll]

Brook’s is crazy too. 50 years alone..

[@KennyHedgehog]

This Arc truly shows the atrocities the one piece world government has committed in order to silence knowledge

[@ARDEMDE]

In my opinion Robin is the one who had it the roughest from all of the Straw Hats. That's why I love her so much, she deserves a lot of love.

[@Tylerbolical]

this stretch of episodes are the ones I've been waiting this whole time for. I literally just think about these episodes in regular life and start crying.

[@rambu3013]

Franky bawling in the end is such a mood _This one broke me_

[@sharplosion1]

Yup, this is another big moment in the entire series. Much like Nami asking for help, Robin saying she wants to live is still one of the most iconic scenes, and one many still consider their favorite The reaction sure didn't disappoint!

[@TheOctaviusLee]

Man why the fuck do I put myself through this every time this episode comes up, lol. Like I hate how much of a mess it makes me but I love it so much. Robin's voice actor KILLS me whenever she says she wants to live, I've seen this a hundred times and I'm still crying.

[@danielmilcent9654]

OP flashbacks really destroy you, it's just how it is, and they never stop getting sadder and sadder

[@giankjojo]

I watched this shit like a decade ago and am still crying watching people react to this 😭

[@buzzthebuzzard5267]

Robin saying "I want to live!" makes me cry every time and I've seen this scene so many times.

[@randomguy-yl2ml]

for the ice admiral and the other admirals too they all have nicknames while being admirals, so kuzan is his real name and aokiji meaning blue pheasant is his admiral nickname, this backstory takes place before he was an admiral, therefore he is reffered to by his real name

[@920215Gurra]

It is amazing how Oda has taken famous actors and made the admirals and then mixed in the charactertraits of the animals from the famous story Momotaro.

[@jonahjoestar]

Destroyed lol. I think when everyone heard you were watching One Piece this was one of the top backstories they were waiting for you to see.

[@Claudiquant]

I begun One piece in 2004 (It was skypiea at that time and I loved robin in that arc) And this backstory made me like robin more than I loved her before.

[@ShamblesMD]

Remember to write down Vice Admiral Sakazuki, who blew up the civilian ship. He will be on the test.

[@allenruiz964]

Ever since you started your One Piece journey, I waited for this episode reaction. I cried with you, we all did. It will always hit. Derishishishishi

[@jermaran]

definitely the peak. Oda's hands were on fire writing Water 7/Enies Lobby

[@thoughtfulfreespace]

This one broke me the first time I watched it, definitely get tears on rewatch. I gave no warnings (but it also would not have changed anything). Robin's backstory is up there with some of the saddest ones...but through all of that she found her friends, her nakama, and they are there to get her back and fuck shit up! Thanks for the video.

[@QuisletEsq]

This is where Robin truly becomes a Straw Hat.

[@acgleason]

Robin's reaction always makes me sob no matter how many times I read it in the manga or rewatch the anime. Great reaction!

[@UltimateGamerCC]

yeah, Robin's had it ROUGH, imagine growing up all alone and when you finally find friends that you want to protect, you have to betray them to keep them alive, it's no wonder that she wants to die. but Luffy's like "no bitch, you gonna live! if the world is your enemy, then it's our enemy too! we're in this together, come hell or high water!" Robin in DUB i feel delivers the I Want To Live scene better, you can watch that in your own time of course, wouldnt expect you to make a reaction squarely for a couple minutes. XD but yeah, now we know that the World Government is evil to the core, with the Marines varying from good (Smoker) to neutral (Aokiji) to scum (Sakazaki, whom we'll learn about later.) Luffy knows all he needs to know to decide to declare war on the World Government.

[@flistones84]

I really feel like a lot of English speaking KZbinrs, miss out on a lot of dialogue by exclusively watching in sub. They also miss out on pronunciations of certain names too.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

totally agree, i know there is a ton of BAD DUBs in Anime, but Funimation is one studio that does their job right@@flistones84

Thank you very much for your reaction! One Piece truly is an incredible story that has touched and inspired people all around the world. Despite the emotional moments, it's precisely this emotional depth that makes the series stand out and allows so many people to feel connected to its characters and narratives. It's amazing to see how One Piece has built such a strong community of fans and how the story continues to be so gripping and engaging even after so many years. I share your anticipation for more adventures with Luffy and his friends.
