One Piece Episode 967, 968, 969, 970 Reaction - BEST ONE PIECE BACKSTORY

[@BoricuaTaco]

Fun fact about the scene of the Roger pirates on Laugh Tale: the word Roger uses to say “funny story” in Japanese is “waraibanashi” literally translates to “tale of laughter” or something to that effect. Additionally, those words are used in the last line of Binks’ Sake: “Hatenashi, atenashi, waraibanashi” which translates to something like “Our never ending, ever wandering, tale of laughter”. This observation has caused a lot of people to think that the lyrics of Binks’ Sake contains hidden information about the final island in it

Brook did say that Bink's Sake/Brew was a classic among pirates. But he didn't say exactly how old the song was. It's possible that it could be centuries old.

[@PetarBladeStrok]

Don't forget that this is the 2nd time Roger went around the Grand Line. First time he arrived to the Lodestar island and learned the existence of Poneglyphs and then while he was sick, went the 2nd time around. That 2nd trip is what this flashback shows.

[@ZenAki]

In 967, when Shanks and Buggy where arguing about the poles being cold, that scene was back in the Buggy arc in the SINGLE DIGIT episodes.

[@golden_eye2156]

Roger's execution will always be iconic. Seeing all those future big names there was so epic. "Joyboy, I wish I was born in the same era as you". This is seriously the best flashback in One piece, it feels as if we're being rewarded for watching 900+ episodes 🔥

[@megasean3000]

The transition from Oden going from a womanising harem troublemaker to a loving, caring family man is insane.

For a man who started a Harem War in Wano, Oden's loyal devotion to Toki is very admirable. And it really makes you put together that Momo definitely feels more like Kinemon's son than Oden if you think about it through that viewpoint

You don't realize how strong Barto's barrier actually is until you see Oden fail against it.

I lost it when Oden went up and talked to Franky, I really loved this flashback. Young Sharly was so cute too!

[@sebitei]

For us, who have been watching one piece for 10+ years. That scene where he laughed was so powerful and it only was enhanced by the song "memories" from the first one piece ending playing in the background. A wave of nostalgia combined with something so epic we had been expecting for so long. There are no words to describe the feeling, my favorite episode of one piece ever.

[@jaketno]

Seeing Roger's journey feels like one of the most satisfying rewards for following this series. Great. Just great.

[@ikon.dadorkkings.3263]

They're talking about Poseidon (Shirahoshi) being born and another ruler (probably Joyboy) from a distant sea. If you remember, the poneglyph that was found in fishman island tells about something like an apology of Joyboy to Poseidon. That means the two rulers have connection even before the prophecy.

[@arosbastion7052]

I'm doing a rewatch myself. I'm on episode 168. I'm loving Skypiea so much more than the first time. Maybe I'm older so I'm appreciating the nuances more than when I was a kid and just wanted the fighting.

[@juandiegoferro2539]

I would recomend seeing "one pace". Its one piece, but edited by fans, so you only get the canon part of the manga. Rearrenge some episodes to be the same as the manga. And more importantly, the pacing, it feels way more natural, and fast, it makes the anime something else. A must try.

[@Malik_Onepiece]

i cannot believe how literal that line is Oden Wouldn't Be Oden If It Wasn't Boiled! Oda is a true GOAT

[@Skydmciscool]

Skypia was such a important arc with so many hint drops that the anime has not gotten to yet. Skypia is probably one of if not the most important arc in one piece.

[@saulonews]

Not sure if anyone has told you this already, Ruff, but it's been stated before that Roger crossed the Grand Line twice. When you reach the end through normal means aka the Log Pose, you reach Lodestar Island, where you discover that there is another, hidden Island (Laugh Tale). The first time Roger crossed the Grand Line, it must have been a different route, then on his second voyage (this time with Oden), they went through the same path as Luffy.

[@MarcusMapua]

Some people had a hard time understanding Oden's reaction to the news about Roger. Oden wasn't breaking down in tears because he was emotionally Upset about Roger's execution, But Oden was actually breaking down in tears of Joy for Roger for the praise & exploits Roger had created in his Top Speed life adventure before it had finally come to end from his disease and execution

[@HeraclesN-fp1bw]

As Ending 1 is playing they made it to Laugh Tale & while reading this in Ch.967 I actually laughed because Crocus called it Raftel back in Ch.105 / Ep.63

[@floknows]

Haha its funny you mention about how someone in the community probably deciphered the poneglyphs, because The Hidden Island released a video a couple weeks ago attempting that very thing.

[@heyitsphoenix9153]

Watching the “two rulers will meet someday” immediatly made me realise, THATS FUXKING LUFFY AND MOMONOSUKE, yall rememebr in zou when they could both hear zunesha not knowing why? It’s the same thing with roger, Odin and the sea life!

[@LenfersX]

The goal of getting to the end of grand line is only established after Roger says he left the One Piece there. Our impression of "moving forward" in the grand line only exists because of it. So before Roger's death, the pirates moved to all sides of the Grand Line and the world, not only in the direction of Laugh Tale

[@Shadow_ci]

Ooooooooooooh🤯 thanks , I didn't know that

[@SensiBurning90]

Might be worth noting that during this final journey with Oden, the Roger pirates had already made it around the world and learned about the secret final island. That’s when Roger decided to travel the world again except this time following the clues on the Poneglyphs to find the final island. But he knew he was dying and had to hurry which is why Oden was so much help because he could actually read the Poneglyphs whereas Roger could only get a general idea of what they said. Also, they were able to travel so freely around the Grand Line because they had already explored most of it and knew their way around.

[@ShinigamiKenReads]

If you go back through one piece it shows how certain characters linked luffy with roger like for example when roger hears the sea kings. If you go back to when luffy asked who it was in the ocean the sea kings said "wasn't there another person 20 years a go who heard us too"

[@arataarter8146]

20:12 It is fantastic to see someone get and understand how big the talk of the Sea Kings is and the myth of the man known as JoyBoy. This will only become more crucial and impactful down the line.

[@dfdoom9153]

Only just reached this set of episodes and it low key made me emotional. Knowing rogers fate it was kinda nice to see that he really did live his life full of joy and laughter.

[@ChaosLierLen]

Considering old Reyleigh SWAM through the Calm Belt I'm willing to believe the Roger Pirates sailed through.

[@farhanramadhan4450]

Such a character development, and I mean you Ruff I just watched your reaction to One Piece eps 1-10, you were nervous and all because it's gonna be a long commitment There were no One Piece tattoos or action figures etc, but look at you now In a sense your channel is your own laugh tale

[@NotInTheFace111]

Buggy got "if I go to that island I'll die" syndrome. Another Usopp "foretelling"

[@villa3927]

One Piece has changed all of us. In my case, the scene of Roger laughing at Laugh Tale taugh me how I should laugh for the rest of my life. And I do it like that ever since. And the day I get to know exactly why he laughed will be one of the most important ones of my life.

[@HeraclesN-fp1bw]

[@efoster8133]

[@GreatBuckeyeGamer]

I know this video is like over a year old but what I think Roger did was use his Conqueror's Haki to cross the Calm Belt because that would keep the Sea Beasts away and he traveled back to Reverse Mountain and reentered the Grand Line.

[@rachmatfauzi8791]

The moment where Roger finds and names the last island is the best moment in my opinion, the anime with the song and its meaning makes me laugh with Roger, and I realize that One Piece is one of the unforgettable adventures.

[@colibri224]

It’s a bit sad that Buggy is such a clown Ruff didn’t take his sickness seriously immediately.

Every time I hear the first ending song I tear up, I wish when the straw hat got to laugh tale we will hear it again.

[@RogueHippie13]

20:10 the prophecy was about the “king of the sea kings”, aka Poseidon. You’ll notice Roger’s screw didn’t mention anything about Joyboy until they made it to Laugh Tale.

[@chrissolace]

13:26 I’m sure you’d have heard of it by now, but another theory with Usopp’s Lies becoming truths: the “island sickness disease” gag whenever they get close to an island, he gets a disease where he can’t go. Guess who somehow got sick with a disease and couldn’t go to the final island? 🤔 Edit: Also, if you watched past the flashback/are caught up… we all know the reference/foreshadowing to the final shot in that last episode in this set…

[@buraksoydan9411]

Only Buggy and Toki got sick with fever while they were sailing near the last island and they are the only people we know that have a devil fruit ability. Maybe devil fruit eaters got sick when they are close to the last island. Thus Luffy might get sick too so Chopper would need to treat him and achieving his goal while doing it.

[@BB-jx8tc]

I can't wait your reaction to the truth of Oden's behavior. Rooting you from Japan Ruff! I'm so proud that the monumental work in Japanese manga history is loved worldwide like this.

[@jorgitosilva]

It feels like Ruff forgot the explanation in Zou... at the very least you need more than one "loop" around the grand line to get to the one piece... In the last island you find out about the poneglyphs and all that and how to get to the place where the one piece is... THEN you have to start over looking for the poneglyphs scattered around the grand line and get someone who can read it... The straw hats are the only ones who "broke that rule of the game" by being liked by crocus, who told them sabout Raftel... then happened to come across robin so they started collecting poneglyphs... then got to zou where they were told about the road poneglyphs... they started directly as if it were their second lap... But Roger did have to do multiple laps looking for the poneglyphs and his adventure lasted a long time to get there...

[@Nastyn1nja808]

Shanks and Buggy arguing over North and South pole. Rayleigh bonks them on the head. This scene is shown in the first few chapters of the manga.1st appearance of Rayleigh.

The most underrated dick move of the day: Wano is closed off to the rest of the world. Even big news from around the world doesn't show up there. Orochi special ordered a newspaper just to show Oden that his homeboy died.

As I remember, the Phoneglyps have been tried to be translated, but there are 2 limiting factors, 1, we need a compleate translation, not just the bullet points as Robin give us and 2, it seems to be made in cypher, so without the key word, its extreamly improvable

Bro now that you read the manga you realized the importance of this arc aka skypea

[@lall.lielck131]

A lyric of Binks' Sake "Not any more Sobbin'-a-Swabbin', It's the moon night." . This mean "Don't cry. You can see a friend on the Moon tomorrow, too." Probably. Actualy, There is a literature called "The Tale of Bamboo Cutter" in Japan. In the story, Princess who born from bamboo must go back the Moon. I think, Joyboy is a "The Tale of Bamboo Cutter" 's main character. The main character is called "Mikado(帝)". 帝 means "Emperor" in japanese. Mikado proposes marriage to the princess in the story. But, Princess Kaguya must go back the Moon. So, Somebody return to Laugh Tale from the Moon to marriage i think. It's Kaguya? Or anybody. "The Tale of Bamboo Cutter" is the only Famous Japanese literature that Oda has yet to draw as a motif.

[@augustarpg8035]

I like to think its both LaughTale and Raftel. The idea that yes originally its Laugh, but thru people retelling the tale and dialects and whatnot people started calling it raftel cause it sounds similar. IRL that kinda thing happens so it understandable that it could happen in the world of one piece as well.

Edit: 11:38 if Senpai remembers, even MoMo said he was feeling very uneasy ever since he stepped on Zou and then the screen pans to the whale tree again.

[@burningbelow4424]

They have traveled through the grand line multiple times, so they know where to go, it's just that now they have oden to decipher the poneglyphs that they are going back to read them.

[@tommcburney301]

The reason why Toki and Buggy got sick is because of an ailment that effects Devil Fruit users. This is just a theory, but it lines up.

Might have lined up to why Shanks crew all didn't have DF users because he knows.

[@HeraclesN-fp1bw]

- It’s to bad that Orochi was protected by his 2 other family members / “magic-users” that being: - The quiet biwa player priest Semimaru (which means “cicada circle” & is a possible reference to a Japanese poet / musician, & he is voiced by Taro Yamaguchi) & he was the previous user of the Bari-Bari Fruit - The old hag is Higurashi (which is a species of cicada & voiced by Hiroko Emori) she is dressed which references the Ushi no toki mairi (a cursing ritual), laughter style “Nikyokyo…”, her black teeth is reference to a beauty practice called ohaguro / Teeth Blacking because in the past Japan believed that pitch-black objects were beautiful, & she was the pervious user of the Clone-Clone Fruit - There is a popular theory the man with blonde hair with the curl up eyebrows that she transforms into looks similar to Shiki “the Golden Lion” while the woman’s face is a young Miss Bakkin - Interesting that both of them were the pervious owners of Devil Fruits to both Bon-chan & Bartolomeo both are loyal Straw Hat supporters, but since they died somehow both Devil Fruits ended up in the East Blue which is where both were born

"Buggy's gotta have some power that he hasn't shown, there's no shot he's as weak as they make him seem when he was on Gol D. Roger's ship."

Skypia is the most underrated one piece arc

[@Crazed3raser337]

I know that you are caught up with the series now, so this is really late, but in regards to your theory on the hat being passed down from someone, don't forget that scene with the giant frozen straw hat in Mary Geoise. It definitely has more significance than we know, we just don't know what yet.

[@Louse1021]

Roger didn't visit skypia on his first trip around the grand line/ new world. He went basically on his deathbed one last time around the line (likely after visiting laughable) with a specific mission in mind. My guess is that whatever he learned at laughtale told him to go to skypia for some important story reason we don't know yet

[@remangapage21]

if you skip the skypiea arc you will never know there is a statue of the god usopp in the sky 😅

[@YunaXBraska]

You don't go back, you go forward around the whole globe, cross the red line again and you're in the grand line, basically the red line is a huge wall around the whole world, and Laughtale is not the last island, it's an island set in the new world somewhere

Roger actually did go back to Gya, when he met Oden with whitebeard and asked to borrow him for a year, he did state that during that convo he made it to the last island on the log pose which is lode star island which means he once sailed across the entire grand line but he knew there was another island (secret boss for 100% completion 😅) based on what he gathered from that one ponigliph he had rubbings of.

[@wr5488]

I think Roger arriving at Laugh Tale might be my favorite moment. Felt like that could’ve been the ending.
