I think Nami forgave Jimbei the right amount. For one thing, she recognized his relationship with Luffy and likely the fact that he was there for Luffy when she was unable to, so that probably played a factor in Nami’s forgiveness. Moreover, Nami had a lot of reconciliation with fishmen during the Sabaody arc via Caimie and Hachi, to the point where she was willing to trade all their treasure to save Caimie from slavery, and was visibly upset by Hachi’s treatment in the auction house.

I strongly disagree with the guy who said Nami forgave Jinbe too easily. She’d been grappling with her grudge towards fishmen who wronged her for two years since Sabaody with Hachan (who was even directly involved in hurting her). Even then, she didn’t forgive him for nothing, she did it to heal and move on with her life.

[@jestersage44]

Agreed. She also forgave him due to the fact that without those events she wouldn't of met Luffy and become a SH. So there's a silver lining.

[@yepsilon2898]

"The only one I hate is Arlong" That pretty much summed it up. Nami might have still been upset at Hachi but she really only hates Arlong. And now knows that it wasn't a simple case of just letting him do whatever he wanted from Jimbe's side.

[@sasukeuchihasama3531]

This is stupid. she was okay with hach san who worked under Arlong at sabaody. She didin’t had any reason to be pissed about jinbe. It wasn‘t his fault that Arlong turned out to be the one he became.

[@usmanqureshi8941]

I agree yea. A few things (some mentioned in above replies) - Nami forgave Hachi, who was right there next to Arlong, forgiving Jinbe isn't a stretch - Jinbe saved Luffy's life like 8 times at Marineford lmao - Jinbe wanted to keep an eye on Arlong, but the corrupt Navy didn't report the details of the atrocities he was committing

I like both devil fruits and haki. These two power systems complement each other very well, in terms of the types of progression they afford. It was different very early in the series, but now that the Straw Hats need to contend with more and more powerful individuals, devil fruits seem to be agents of horizontal progression, whereas haki and the mastery of the self seems to be more or less vertical progression. In a sense, I think haki was introduced to show milestones of mastery and power in a way that devil fruits couldn't, and also to provide the setting with 'ceilings' for the characters to bust through.

[@Ruldolphmaker]

@@JoelBurger The longer I remain an anime fan the longer i realize how BAD fans are at... well......writing shit. They want twists for the sake of twists. Think writing "realistic" things make them compelling etc etc. An example a character backtracking on his development at any given moment is _"realistic"_ sure, because people fall to old habits.... but is it compelling? *NO.* It's repetition and flies in the face of established arcs. Usually for a relapse in fiction there needs to be an inciting incident and that inciting incident needs to be compelling. I despise that Usopp keept backsliding into his old bullshit for no fucking reason. I'm glad Oda cut it out after Dressrosa. but these be what fans defend - because fans don't care for what makes something well-written. It ties into the reason i hate a lot of modern anime/manga. It's derivative and not much thought placed into it. So much modern anime is just glorified fan fiction. But here's the sad truth - if what you make is glorified fan-fiction, *then 99.9% of the time the original is better* Likewise people want to make something "unique" but don't have passion for what they build. Modern shows are derivative of pop culture. Older series are life-observations. Miyazaki films are observant. Kon films are observant of life. Evangelion is observant of life before its a love letter to mecha series. One Piece is an observation of life. Just my thoughts. Sorry for the rambling.

Its a plothole. because it was featured in a one shot manga before one piece was publicized. Oda never thought one piece will be this long and this successful. Oda made a lot of inconsistent power level throughout the manga if you pay attention. For example, a 30m bounty luffy beat a sichibukai, who is supossedly one of the three great power that maintain the balance of the world. If you read the manga again, you will find luffy had countless power up after his fight with crocodile and there are so many people stronger than him. so how the fuk did crocodile even join sichibukai when he was that weak that rookie luffy managed to beat him without haki?

After the crocodile arc, luffy had at least 10 power ups before the marineford arc, while crocodile remain in prison. but luffy was beaten left and right by everyone in that war, and crocodile somehow fight diamond jozu and doflamingo. how did crocodile become so strong he can fight jozu and dofla because 30m bounty luffy would get one shotted in that war. the amount of inconsistencies in this manga is a whole another level compare to other mangas like naruto and bleach. but brainwashed fanboys dont want to admit it.

The haki argument is one of the worst arguments I've seen imo. Take a look at this, despite haki being rather huge in the timeskip, has there ever been a lack of devil fruit creativity? Fishman Island - Red Hawk, Grizzly Magnum Punk Hazard - Ceasar legit one shots all with his devil fruit and shows the uniqueness. Law does the same to Smoker and Tashigi. Even cutting the smile factories as well. Dressrosa - Neither Doffy nor his executives were known for abominable haki. As like the other fights, creativity was used. Doffy's string + Gear 4th which made haki an even more creative concept via the metal balloon effect. WCI - Katakuri was the first big haki fight in One Piece. Yet even then, was there even a lack of creativity from the devil fruits? Learning the Obs. haki was just a means to an end. Luffy had to creatively use Snakeman to succeed. Wano - Again, just a means to an end to deal damage. When it comes down to it, haki is literally just a cherry on top. It's super powerful, yeah, but it's not draining the series of devil fruits' usefulness. Heck, it literally amplifies it! Ex: Katakuri hardening his mochi making it sticky plus immensely hard and spiky. Luffy's gear four, Ulti's canon mixed with haki, Cracker's biscuit soldiers. Haki is literally just a cherry on top that has only ever been used to attack someone else, make non devil fruit users useful and provide further creativity. It's not like Bleach and DBZ where your screwed if ki or reiatsu isnt involved. Devil Fruits have and still are the main power system. Here's something ironic. Haki is supposedly more prevelent than DF's. Yet people had more expectations of Zoro, Law & Kidd over Killer who focused solely on haki (I purposely dropped Zoro because of enma. Can't be used as a counter argument since if haki never existed, no non-devil fruit user would be able to hurt Kaido). Haki has never been a deciding factor in a One Piece fight. Luffy vs Kat as an example. Luffy had inferior haki on all terms (except possibly conquerors). Yet, did he force a draw because he had equal haki? No, he fought creatively via Snakeman and implementing the cherry on top to his advantage (haki). Does Luffy no longer need his gears since haki is the end all be all?

i think im the only one who was hyped since in the beginning of the show, maybe its cuz i first started it when i was a kid watching it in the german dub version, which we all know it did a great job, so the rubber boy had a great impact in child me so i was pretty excited to watch it again and rly loved even the first silly episodes

[@XraynPR]

The german intro 1 is the best OP intro.

I wasn’t “in love” with the series before baratie but I still really enjoyed it and it kept my attention with the looming threat of 900 episodes ahead

4:10: Ya know Shanks loosing his arm wasn’t planned originally. Apparently ODA’s editor told him Romance Dawn was too boring (or something to that effect) and he added losing the arm to make up for it.

[@RonaKurona]

Which only makes the fanboys sound a lot more ridiculous when the only excuse they have for that inconsistency is "Shanks lost his arm on purpose to motivate Luffy", almost as if the skill to retroactively change past scenes to fit with the new elements (such as Haki) wasn't good enough

[@misters6749]

@@RonaKurona bear in mind. Shanks isn’t impervious to mistakes. Teach was able to give him his scar will he “was being careful” as Shanks himself told Whitebeard before Marineford.

if its Jimbe's fault than its tiger's fault or even better, the human's fault.

[@Broockle]

that's the whole morale of the story. The circle of hatred needs to be cut somewhere.

[@xxpbfoolxx]

Haki is 100% a good thing in OP and here is my reasoning, When looking at the primary protagonists and antagonists Haki has been used primarily to bolster/improve their devil fruit/gimmick. (luffy being able to achieve gear 4, katakuri being able to mimic a logia, Zoro having better slashyslashes and the possibility of making a black blade). Not only that, but in a world of OP where the protags are necessarily getting stronger it gets difficult to continue to write secondary antags with compelling powers and abilities that make sense to compete with the ridiculous protags......sooooo haki makes it a bit easier to understand why a secondary can tank a hit from luffy or sanji and stand up(albeit quite beat up). So, yes, if haki was still being used like it was back when it was first introduced, then sure I can understand the distaste for it; but in the time where you have luffy achieving gear 4 and katakuri mimicking logias, I just can't see why it is still not liked.

[@justaguy7102]

shanks let his arm get cut to show luffy sometimes you need to run away like he said in Marineford shanks is not letting his boi become like roger who never ran away. just my opinion tho

[@chrollo5648]

Also to show him that being reckless will put his friends at risk so he must train and get stronger to protect himself and his friends

As long as Fairy Tail exists, nothing else can hold the "worst power system in anime" title. Edit: also the Sogeking thing is the "what does Pot of Greed do?" of OP.

[@murphyc15]

What is wrong with Fairy Tail's power system? It's just magic in a few different forms

[@pablomadrid6962]

@@murphyc15 the problem is that it's not a system, most of the time it's just a thinly veiled plot device. It's literally "a Wizard did it". Characters don't have clear limits and there's no conditions whatsoever - other than people seemingly locking themselves into a certain type of magic for an unexplained reason. Nothing about its functionality or limitations is ever addressed, save for Dragon magic which is the most inconsistent thing ever. Characters only do what they are needed to do when they are needed to. There's reality warping magic everywhere (Freed's or Ultear's powers, for example) and somehow more people AREN'T using it? There's literally no limit to it, as far as we know anybody could use that magic if they bothered to learn it. There's no order to it, except that Dragon magic is more powerful than normal and that's it.

[@justbny9278]

@@murphyc15 you killed your point saying *"it's just magic* in different forms" since magic by itself usually throws systems out the window in favor of just doing whatever needs to be done in whatever way the author wants it to be done

Shanks willingly gave his arm, I don’t get why people are still under the impression that he simply COULDN’T stop it from happening. He just allowed it

[@StormWolf01]

Why would anyone allow their arm to be torn apart?

[@chrisj403]

That's stupid, he phrased it as a sacrifice for the future. And what dumbass would sacrifice their arm for NO reason?? It's just a case of not realizing how far the power scale would go

[@mountainkingterra1684]

@@StormWolf01 it was as shanks said "a bet on the future." He willingly gave his arm to help inspire luffy. At that point in the series luffy didnt understand the most important thing by shanks standards. That you should always prioritize protecting rather than attacking. Kid luffy still didnt understand not every battle is worth fighting. Could he kill the lord of the coast yes but it wasnt needed what was needed was shosing luffy that even if you get hit and lose something its worth it to protect one you love

Yeah, I can believe that. I mean, all he has is that ahou-ahou beam of his. The fact that he made it to Paradise in the first place with that power is impressive. Buggy had to sail with the Pirate King himself to get to the end of the Grand Line. Foxy has relied on no one but himself. 😂

[@MrFifa2112]

i wouldn't be suprised if being pirate king means having the ability to let people follow you out of respect or something. I also will not be suprised that luffy will have a finnal battle against blackbeard and in the mean time buggy will crown himself pirate king till luffy gets to raftel

One Piece artstyle helps readers/viewers to dive in in One Piece world, and thats something pretty underrated.

[@dsl6653]

@@ondrejmachovsky2654 If someone doesn't want to read because of the art style, they are very unlikely to actually like the story. It's a fantasy world, and the art style not only gives this sort of unique world feel, as it also distinguish one piece of other animes. It makes the story more detailled. I prefer it over the same characters designs.
