Sabaody Archipelago is PEAK One Piece | Watching One Piece for the FIRST Time & Arc Tier List

[@Koroto]

👋Hiya, noticed that this video is being pushed to a broader audience, so first off - welcome aboard, hope you enjoy your stay! 🏴‍☠️ To clear up a few things I've seen asked so far : 1. I'm dumb and hadn't picked up on which name Kuma usually goes by, so I keep calling him Tyrant a whole bunch. Try to ignore that 😅 2. The speed of light thing - don't take it too seriously, it's just me messing around. 400+ episodes deep into a fantasy series, I'm totally open to any kind of shenanigans that might pop up. I love talking about magic systems, especially with how interesting the fruit system is in OP, so I might bring it up here and there, but as long as I enjoy seeing it - I don't really care how "balanced" it is. The only thing I don't like is a "huzahh, new power", but there hasn't really been much of that so far, so I don't think it's anything to worry about. 3. More of a general point - keep in mind that I've basically seen these episodes once. I obviously go over parts of them while working on the video, but I may still get something completely wrong or say something stupid simply because I wasn't paying attention or something 😄 Think that's all for now, if you have any more questions for me, don't hesitate to ask! 👍

[@Phx...]

One question why do you have so much knowledge on haki and other things as well to be honest this is the first video I've seen from you so it just kinda thrown me of a bit when you referred to haki in such detail.

[@Koroto]

​@@Phx... I assume I got something right? Please don't specifiy what that is, but much of what I talk about are either things I've been going on about for months or just random ideas I've been throwing around. I've seen Amazon Lily now, and I still don't understand Haki, especially with there being more of it, so I'm not too sure what you mean by that 😅 Though yeah - no spoilers please.

[@Phx...]

@@Koroto Nope your completely wrong but if you are right you have to watch to find out ;) (no spoilers)

[@iamdivan7368]

Let's do some math. Aokiji in Foxy arc froze the sea in between two islands, which covers path that takes a person riding a horse "a few hours" (let's say 4) to go through, and you can't get there in tim just on foot. So, if we take a standard horse speed with a rider (12-13km/h) and standard human speed (4-5 km/h) we get diapason of 16-48 km of water Aokiji froze. Average out, and we get solid 32 kilometers of water. The stretch of water that he froze wasn't that wide, but was at least 20 meters wide. Ice usually floats with 9/10 of its volume under water, and in the manga we see that new frozen ice gets lifted to about 20 santimeters above water's previous level, which gives us solid 200 santimeters of height. 2m*32000m*20m gives 1280000 cubic meters of ice frozen in around two seconds To put it into perspective, the entirety of Hangar One is around 80% of that volume, and the weight of that ice would be around 1152000 TONS. And all of that in a few seconds without even breaking a sweat. So yes, admirals are pretty strong and heir devil fruits are pretty broken

Garp was likely responsible for the marines that surrounded the auction house - they weren't there because of Luffy. It isn't explained but I could see that Garp originally ordered them to simply watch the auction house and inform him if someone who looks like Rayleigh comes out.

​@@f.carasind4188 Sure, they don't think anyone will do that to CD, but doesn't mean they don't keep some people near them. Beside, there was a whole navy base right nearby, if you rewatch the arc, the auction house is at Grove #1 (group 1 to 9), while navy base is at group 60-69, right below group 1-9. So they have enough time to move marine there.

[@pixelblaze8284]

@@Koroto garp is also often the one to say one thing and do something else that he thinks is right. So him not going personally seems to be a choice he made to not interfere in a substantial way. Akainu showing up is enough to keep the newbie pirates at bay, but Garp going would be enough to actually keep Rayleigh from doing what he wants which he probably doesn't want since Rayleigh would help luffy

[@filmological6574]

One of my favorite arcs. It's so tragic, and every time you find someone who read/watched it, they just have so much to discuss and theorize. Watching it together with someone, knowing what's going to happen, while they're just enjoying the rollercoasters and bubbles, it's the best lol

[@MrGeorge01]

Oda (autor of the manga), doesn't like power scaling, and he thinks that fans should just enjoy the story without scaling everything. For example when he was asked how far can Luffy stretch he would give some stupid answer like "500 gomu-gomus". So you shouldn't take Kizarus fruit to heart too much. Maybe physics in OP world is different, or maybe Kizarus speed is limited by his own reaction and thinking speed. Cuz brain still has to process information and give orders to your body, and that takes time. So don't concentrate on it too much.

[@jonnjones8263]

Thats not true at all. Thats just headcanon you've invented.

[@HerculesOfHate]

@@jonnjones8263 ....Those are literally words from Odas mouth. Are you broken? One Piece isnt a "power level" kind of series.

[@justsomeguy4955]

With all due respect to you, what you've just said is mostly headcanon. Yes, it's true about the 500 gomu gomu's, but honestly, that doesn't relate to power leveling all that much. If Oda truly didn't care about power scaling, he would not have made a shonen BATTLE manga. So, of course Oda cares about power scaling. It might not be a big priority, but it's still a priority. Feel free to disagree and discuss tho

[@justsomeguy4955]

@@entrenam45 I disagree, but I understand the logic behind it. One piece usually relies on a clash and then the characters walk away, and sometimes it completely offscreens fights entirely.

[@riceyboi5215]

The thing about Kizaru is that even though he's physically as fast as the speed of light, he's not that fast mentally. It still takes him time to react to things, so if you can predict his attacks, it's possible to dodge/cheese them.

Thats not actually true. Theres no basis for assuming that.

[@tyler-tz2hz]

False there's no basis for this argument characters relatively early on in the series I have already shown to have a light speed Reaction Time much less somebody like kizaro who would be way way above that human Reaction Time

[@ForgottenFafnir]

​@@emperorluffy6001 Sorry for the late reply, but I'm pretty sure Kizaru literally states that he doesn't like to fully transform into light because he can't actually control or react fast enough to keep up with its true speed, as well as said light being forced to travel in straight lines making it even more of a pain to navigate with. That's why he only ever transforms small parts of his body into light at a time, and when he does have to transform fully, he has that yata no kagami move. He uses it to find a path to his target so he can transform into light and follow that path towards them without actually needing to think or react in regards to movement and control. It might also be why he arrives on the battlefield via cannonball instead of just lazering there. Though it could equally just be Oda making a dramatic entrance for him. Another thing to note is that none of his moves actually start at light speed. They just rapidly accelerate towards light speed after moving. That's how Rayleigh (and other characters later on) was able to intercept the attacks multiple times. He just made sure they never got the chance to reach maximum speed and thus become unreactable, if that makes sense. Finally, Kizaru's reaction speeds are fast, but they're not light speed. It could be his Devil Fruit enhancing them, but it could also just be due to his training as a Admiral.

[@marpj6138]

Some NO SPOILER details and opinions -About Kizaru, IMO while the fruit changes the body to adapt (look at Alvida) there is a limit, so to me Kizaru is a little like the Tiger Beetle, an insect that is so fast it goes blind and as such will run-stop-run-stop to look where its going. So the combination of Kizaru slowing down by himself and some mantra like ability people can fight him, although its necessary a good amount of power to do so -About Garp not doing anything, that is his way of dealing with it. By not letting Sengoku know the situation and with that focus in the other legend since for Garp what Rayleigh is doing that is not a real problem. -About Zoro using Haki there, that is an animation mistake. Its a joke for a long time that he is intimidating and give some awful stares and the anime just put a little more emphase on that. No haki here. -About Doflamingo symbol, you also saw it with Bellamy (Jaya) and at least in the manga the medicine White Beard uses also has that symbol.

There was A LOT to talk about in this arc, I can't fault you for not bringing it up, but... Thoughts on the others Supernova (beside Kid and Law)? Also I agree, Capone's fruit power is awesome.

[@Koroto]

Most of them were very very intriguing - the prophet/future seeing guy is one I can already see being used for a whole bunch of foreshadowing, and his fruit power was also awesome. I love voodoo-type magic in fantasy, so I really hope to see more of him. The instrument guy is clearly pretty deceptively powerful, so I'm curious how his powers actually work. Capone is your typical mafia boss with an awesome fruit power to boot. I think seeing the crew face off against him could be super interesting simply because he can just have waves and waves of enemies to back him up. The pink haired girl who can turn people into babies is one of those characters that you can't really fight (sort of like the ghost girl in Thriller Bark), so I'm curious how the crew might beat her. (Though her power immediately gave me flashbacks to one of, if not the worst stand user in Jojo haha). Don't really know where to put the big guy with the wings - seems like a powerful character with a potentially interesting backstory (since the only place we've seen those wings is Skypiea), but not really sure where to pin him just yet. And lastly - the T-Rex guy seemed kinda meh. I like dinosaurs as much as the next guy, but so far, he was super forgettable. Not sure if I forgot someone, but those are my 1 sentence summaries of (I think) everyone else. 😄

[@lipeeefl]

​@@emperorluffy6001 I didn't say he couldn't move at light speed tho. But that isn't feasible. If he actually moved at the speed of light he'd move (even if we assume a reaction time of 1/1000000s which would be faaaaar beyond possible) 300.000.000 m/s * 0.0000001s = 300m before actually realizing where he is => Kizaru would probably drown the instant he moves since the most likely place for him to be is in the ocean(or the space). At the same time we avoid the fact that a kick of Kizaru at the actual speed of light would probably match the destructive power of a few nukes. If we want to get technical, Let's assume that the One Piece world is similar in size to earth. If Kizaru were to use the parameters of REAL light, He could fly around the entire earth 7.5 times, In a single second................ A single second, He could literally be anywhere on the planet so fast that humans wouldn't even be capable of perceiving the moment he left and came back. He could theoretically travel to any position on earth and back to his original location faster than your brain can process and perceive his movement, it would simply just be a temporary acceleration of visual light but he would appear to have not moved as your eyes are only capable of perceiving at a certain frame rate. TL;DR If Kizaru used the true extent of light he could eviscerate planets, he could move fast enough to effect his perception of time possibly allowing physical alteration of time, He could move faster than humans are even capable of perceiving existence in front of them. Of course one piece physics shenanigans and nothing happens. Plus Kizaru is a lethargic guy. Either way, it's not believable for him to move at actual speed of light, unless light is different in one piece, therefore not being that overpowered after all. Half of this comment was basically a ctrl c from reddit forums, as it's agreed on the community that it doesn't make sense. Anyway, power scaling is dumb and this is just a petty way to say that you are wrong in calling me out.

[@kingsolomon3278]

@@lipeeefl Takes a true idiot to apply real world logic to an anime, kizaru literally kicks Hawkins at the speed of light

[@YetiCoolBrother]

So, the weakness of Kizaru's fruit is that 1) When he turns into light to move he loses his directional control, he has to bounce off things much like actual light does. This makes him more predictable if you fight him in an open space and thus more reactable (along with some other things one can do you're not aware of yet). & 2) Because of this he is not constantly fighting at the speed of light. He has light-speed techniques yes like his kicks, but for example when he was clashing swords with Rayleigh he's not swinging at the speed of light. Remember Logias have to actively "turn on" their element form, otherwise they're just like anyone else.

[@Chrisfragger1]

Yeah he can't actually FIGHT at light speed, I think. The Human brain can't even make the calculations fast enough. He can move at the speed, make straight forward attacks like kicks and punches at that speed, but he cannot quickly flow from one attack tot he next at that speed. Like if he wants to move to you and kick you, he moves to you at light speed, but before he attacks he has to take a moment to take in his environment before he can attack. If he could fight unrestricted at the speed of light, I don't think anyone could beat him.

[@YetiCoolBrother]

@@Chrisfragger1 Exactly. You can tell if you pay attention to him in fights he'll do something like move to someoneone's position instantly but then when he actually goes to attack them he's back in human form and like shoots a laser or something like that.

Also, I believe the captains (the leading officers of the military) in Bleach had a similar thing with their capes but a little more lore and character was put behind them. The capes were worn differently and denoted divisions that each lead. There are more examples elsewhere but I don't know the reason behind it being such a common trope. It does look cool though.

I'll just be the 1st to say this: It's just fiction logic. The whole time dilation thing with moving faster than light has been ignored by pretty much every shonen. Dragon Ball characters have been moving faster than light since the Freeza arc at the absolute latest and some of them these days are even moving faster than time itself. (Doesn't make sense? Welp, too bad.) Heck, even outside of anime we have the Flash, who has been able to run fast enough to travel through time pretty much from the start. Then there's Sonic the Hedgehog from Archie Comics, who is completely immune to time stopping powers purely because of just how fast he is. Of all the places to draw the line, I don't think this is it.

[@Mortal-san]

Kisaru may have the power of light but his brain moves slower than a tele snail... but seriously you have to trust oda here it all makes sense in the end^^

[@blakan1478]

About the whole moving at the speed of light making you too op in the one piece world. You gotta remember Luffy and Zorro could both move faster than the eye can see at the start of the show For example for luffy anytime he used gum gum rocket or Zoro when he dissapeard in front of the bounty hunters and they both have gotten much stronger since then and they are both at this point in time far from the more powerful characters in the one piece world so i hope that gives you an indication that the sheer brute strength that the top dogs have in this world is already reaching broken standards. Do not forget that Shanks can swim but he is still a yonko

[@SolitaryLark]

Just wait till he sees white bear 😂

[@freyzerb.castro9124]

Even powerful characters like other admirals or emperors aren't close to moving at the speed of light, the comparison of Luffy and Zoro moving fast from the beggining doesn't really make the light-speed movement any less op The reason why the speed of light isn't as broken as he thinks is because of observation haki, but he's still learning about haki, no need to convince him or explain anything

[@tyler-tz2hz]

Yeah moving at the speed of light and 90% of anime is not to overpowered

[@speshuul2]

Tragedy makes a good story a great story and it helps us connect to the story and characters more. No matter how hard we try, in reality we can never escape tragedy, either way bad things will happen to you or your loved ones, and death will happen to you and your loved ones. Yes some of us experience more tragedy than others but it’s still one of those things that touches every person one way or another. So when there’s good tragedy in a story, that is grounded in reality but still a story, we usually connect VERY well with that.

[@kualarompin589]

Not sure if anyone has pointed, the Zoro-haki-moment is not canon. It didn't happen in manga. Toei just add it up to fuck with anime watchers. But the Zoro moment of trying to cut Carlos was truly insane. It was to show how blood thirsty Zoro can be, from 0 to 100 in a second. Edit: I don't think in One Piece, there is such thing as reincarnation, except for Brook of course, reincarnated after he died. If it does, Rayleigh would say this to Luffy ''I miss you old friend'' So far, most people reminded of Roger when they met Luffy. To me it is more because Luffy embodies Roger's traits and personalities. The way how Luffy says he wants to be the Pirate King with happiness and couldn't care less what other people think.

[@MadMensDen]

One of the great parts of this arc is how dense it is. So many things going on. So many characters doing their own things. It's like the water 7 arc(pre enies lobby), but turned up to 11.

[@oakingsgiba1976]

Ok so about the speed of lighy there are polar oposites in the characters depicting marine admirals for example kizaru is slow in the head a bit and slow reactions which opposes his devil fruit. You'll see later with some other admirals that it goes with them as well.

[@Mortal-san]

I can't wait for the new episode but it also makes me sad because i know we have only a few arks to go... will you review the latest OP movies too? Some of them are really good...

[@Koroto]

Who knows, maybe. 🤷‍♂️ Are they canon or? And I wouldn't worry about me being somewhat closer to caught up, getting to 1000 will probably still take another 9 months 😅

[@Mortal-san]

@@Koroto i think the new movie about shanks will be canon not sure when it takes place tho...the others aren't canon but the animation is pretty good... some of the movies do kinda contain spoilers so watch out (you should be fine in 2-4 arks)

[@Koroto]

Ahh, then I might check them out at some point (probably once I'm caught up at the earliest). The problem I have with non-canon movies is that I find they are even more detached from the story than filler arcs - they by their nature just have 3 acts where they are forced to return to where they began, which makes it very hard for me to get invested. Filler arcs of course have the same problem, but for some reason, I feel like they flow better than movies do, be it due to the serialized nature of it or something else. Though yeah, we'll just have to wait and see - a canon movie about Shanks, however, sounds like a must-watch 😂

[@swinegods]

You don't seem to completely get how Kizaru's DF works. It's never true light speed since it would cause such a gigantic explosion everything would just die anywhere near him. We can pretty nicely assume it's 3x the speed as what Enel gets since light is roughly 3x faster than electricity. Even it's "pure lightspeed" is only a thing when he completely turns into light aka when he went after Apoo. When he kicks for example he turns the back of his feet into light so it basically works as a "light speed" jet engine that accelerates his foot that still has it's own weight. These are still one of the strongest kicks we ever see in the series anyways so i'm personally fine with it. If you ask me it's also a visual effect, they kinda have to nerf the speed of all his attacks so we can properly see them like how wind and air based abilites in media are clearly depicted visually for the audience to actually see what happens even if the effect is invisible in-universe

[@emperorluffy6001]

[@senorbailey5496]

The scaling is pretty much irrelevant, People reacting to something simply means that they can do that thing. Probably shouldn't be questioned. Nami and Ussop could react to lightning in Skypiea for example, it's simply something they're capable of doing and if someone else hits them it just means they were faster than lightning. Same logic applies with Rayleigh, he's faster than light because he could react and hit Kizaru mid attack. Even then I'd argue that he's not actually lightspeed OR the physics of the one piece universe is completely different and it may not actually apply to the same speed in our world. Light speed one piece arguments are pretty much useless since there so much you can both back it up with and simultaneously debunk it with so I'd just ignore it all together Don't over focus on the logic of it because it's simply the logic of different verses and the story matters more. Luckily Oda somehow manages to keep the scaling pretty consistent aside from some outliers even if he doesn't care about scaling. I'd also add that things looking slower in these shows than they should be is obviously simply for audience comprehension. Like sure Luffy could keep up with Electricity with Enel which makes him insanely fast, they're just made to appear slow enough for audiences to be able to watch even if they may be going at said speeds. Best example of this in this arc is Kizaru attacking Apoo with the Mirror attack. He was going likely Relavistic to LS but it was shown slower

[@joshshrum2764]

But Nami, and Ussop, literally got shot by Eneru, on the marry instantly how can they react if they got hit, i swear my fellow one piece fans are just insane why did you have to write a few paragraphs to convey this, i respect the hustle.

[@senorbailey5496]

@@joshshrum2764 think about it this way. A Bullet can travel around 1700 mph. It's not as simple as dodging the bullet but the distance. If you dodge the bullet point blank your reaction speed is much higher than if you were to dodge from 50 feet away. The example you gave of enel bodying them was point blank and unexpected which would require faster reaction time since it was slower. Just take the distance and find how much they moved in order to avoid. Namis reaction to it was calced at Mach 413 for the first one with climstact and 909 for the lightning dodge. Which is Massively Hypersonic and more consistent in line with other feats she preformed and scale to. So not necessarily lightning speed but extremely fast nonetheless

Garp says we can't fight 2 legends because of the incoming war, also Doflamingo is one of my favorite villains that's all I'll say. I know I'm not the first but your prediction got me on the edge of my seat I'm always looking forward to them especially as someone who's fairly caught up. If you've watched the show this long it's slowly shown the story growing up getting into a more mature series and it's slowly been raising the stake when you look back we couldn't really even beat crocodile without some outside help. The only reason we made it this far was by pushing through getting lucky which our friend Blackbeards Doctor Q said it in Jaya "he's very lucky" 🧀

Abouth the Reighley name theory, a lot of one piece characters are based off of real world pirates, for exaple Blackbeard is based off of Edward Teach, a real life pirate by the same name. Also Roger is based on the real-life pirate Olivier Levasseur, who likewise challenged others to find his own legendary treasure. There is also more characters like them. Just something really cool to think abot

[@coffeebean6450]

I like how oda did hint to the strawhat's defeat beforehand. In Thriller Bark Gecko Moria kept telling the strawhats that they were too weak and that they would never stand a chance in the new world. At this point the starwhats don't really pay any mind to him because they have always beaten the odds before, like in Enies Lobby. So it just sounds like stuff we've already heard. But when Kuma shows up and wipes out the crew it just reassures Moria's point. And then we get Brook's backstory were he and his crew are taken out because they are too weak to handle the challenges that lay past the red line. Once again alluding to a possible outcome the strawhats might face if they go the new world unprepared. And then they go to Sabaody and are defeated. After that and the paramount war everything becomes clear to Luffy and the rest of the crew that they are not at a high enough level to face the new world. So they take the 2 years to train. I didn't notice this the first time watching but it's interesting to see that Oda was setting us up for the inevitable defeat of the strawhats. He knew that the audience was accustomed to the strawhats succeeding in even the most difficult of circumstances and used that overconfidence to his advantage to give us one of the best One piece Arcs and one of most shocking moments. Truly genius!

That is about as bad of a cliffhanger as the end of the 4kids dub, where the falling ship from skypea is the last image and all you can assume is they got crushed and drowned. Not that I watched that as a kid since I'm from Switzerland and English isn't my native language. But I still heard a bit about that version.

Spoiler Alert for Oden's Journal in Wano. (32:40) Yoooo. Why is what he is saying actually relatively accurate. While we don't know what it is exactly, we do know 3 things for sure. 1) The One Piece can only be used at a certain time. 2) The One Piece is (probably) the ancient Joy Boy's treasure. 3) As this video theorizes, the One Piece IS a story that contains the history of the Void Century and/or even before the Void. That history most likely does deal with a conflict between freedom and control. Except, weirdly and epically, that history is not a tragedy tale; it's somehow a funny story that made Roger's entire crew laugh with joy. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he picked up on all of this. Eiichiro Oda is a very skilled foreshadower, after all. Still, it is very impressive to piece this much together about the One Piece, reincarnation, and the lost history in just Shabaody Archipelago arc.
