SHANKS IS AMAZING | One Piece Anime Reaction Episode 4

[@Noxiddar]

Skip to 5:45 For Reaction So, back when I made my first video on One Piece about my reaction to the Final Trailer for OPLA, I mentioned at 2:24 that I had already seen One Piece up to and a little beyond Arlong Park in anticipation for the upcoming live action show. And for me, that was the end of it. With the release of the first reaction video to the anime, however, it was correctly pointed out that I had not been considerate of those who would be watching the first anime reaction video as a first time viewer. Who maybe hadn't watched from the trailer to where we are today, and might have had the expectation that I was approaching the anime totally blind. So at the time, I had wrestled with the idea of picking up reactions from episode 41 onward, but I knew people would want to see me react to the early episodes. I had a proverbial Sword of Damacles waiting above my head. My decision for putting my best foot forward was to start the series over with the intention of watching in the original Japanese. I do want to stress that these reactions ARE genuine and authentic. I've never watched One Piece with the Japanese VA until this reaction series. After Arlong Park, I will be in unfamiliar territory, though I think you'll find as the reactions continue there is less and less analysis as I start to pick up on things I missed or tuned out from the dub. It's been such an enjoyable ride so far, but I didn't want to let a narrative grow that I was somehow being disingenuous. I'm doing this for me. I'm learning how to navigate reactions as I go. I intend to one day be able to say I've helped do my part to entertain the world. This is my dream.

Do what you want to do. As long as as you're true to yourself anyone willing to listen will understand. Transitioning mediums will be a big hurdle for Live action One Piece fans who are willing to take the plunge.

[@Nastyn1nja808]

It's cool because yiu have some insight from Teaching in Japan can't wait to hear the stories let's goooooo!

[@diabolo5390]

another huge W xD

[@johnmarkulep5339]

According to Oda, the author of One Piece, Bounty does not represent strength, it represent how much threat you have👍

[@ReiseLukas]

Exactly

[@benhicks9481]

which means strength is a part of that threat, basically its strength + potential/intent to cause major issues

[@dariusfafoutakis8021]

It represents the threat you are towards the marines/WG. Clout is everything for a bounty.

[@MrRubix01]

Bro... he clearly understands that. He said the bounty INFERS strength not equates to it. He obviously understands its not 1 to 1 your strength level but just an indication of it which is 100% accurate

[@Noxiddar]

It's all good! I'm actually more impressed at how many are willing to help drive this point home. I'm rich with explanation! No harm done. I appreciate everyone's contributions!

[@SensiBurning90]

Highly doubt people will tell you “it’s not that deep” when it comes to this series, so go ahead and speculate and analyze to your hearts content. You’re definitely in the right mindset with how you’re approaching and dissecting the story. From just these few episodes it’s very apparent you’ll enjoy the ride. There is an amazing adventure ahead for you. Hope to see you joining us week to week readers sometime in the future when you’re all caught up.

[@Noxiddar]

I'm still deciding how far ahead in the anime I want to progress before I sit down to read the manga. I'd like a degree of separation, so neither is running over the top of each other. I'd also prefer to see major moments in the anime first for the weight of overall production so that I can see it later in the manga and feel the weight of artistic expression! Do you have any suggestions on that? Which did you start with? Has doing one over the other first tempered expectations or (as I'm hoping it will) enhance the overall experience?

[@ReiseLukas]

@@Noxiddar I started with the anime and watched over 400 episodes, but after a rough experience and quitting the story once I came back to it with the manga. Most people will probably tell you read the manga after a time skip that happens around the 400-500 episode area. The pacing slows down considerably (In the anime, Manga is fine) after the timeskip and lots of people complain about it, but that's up to you. I say do what you think is best when you get there.

[@loelldebach8450]

​@Noxiddar I'd say it's best to get through the first 500 episodes before diving into the manga, its the perfect place to go back to the start, fresh. It's much faster to go through the manga, it's paced better in comparison to the anime so you'll blaze through it. If you start early then you might find it very hard to put off on reading the manga Objectively the manga is better overall.

[@Noxiddar]

That is my hope for it as well. As I'm pulling back layers to the One Piece universe, I find my way to the core with the manga and find more and more value as I get closer to the source. 500 sounds unimaginable at the moment, but it'll be here long before I know it!

[@SensiBurning90]

@@Noxiddar I started with the anime. When I reached the most recent episodes at the time I switched to the manga. Since then I’ve reread and rewatched the series several times. If that’s the case I would recommend waiting till the end of a saga to go back and read it. East Blue (the first saga) is about 10-11 volumes in the manga. Not sure how much time you have to read/watch but I’d imagine it can be paced in a way that you roll right into the next saga as you finish them. And there are milestones where a reread or at least recap of certain events is warranted. Usually when we get details revealed that change the way you view things and gives you a better understanding of the story.

[@Ozgarthefighter]

Very few One Piece fans will chide you for picking apart everything you see. 😅 I will also say, you're already one of the better reactors because you are actively reacting and trying to get inside the author's head. So many reactors will just passively look at the animation and get hyped by it, which is perfectly fine, but I really enjoy your personal anecdotes and pauses to examine the bits of information presented.

[@Noxiddar]

I'm actually really glad to hear this. I didn't want to do reactions if I didn't feel I could add anything of value. I should hope that by 1000 episodes, I'll have a style and format down! But for now, I'm happy to experiment and see what people respond to! I do want to get better at keeping video length from getting out of hand. 6 hours between recording, editing, and cataloging a video from a little over an hour of anime is kind of distressing to think about. 😅

[@Heavenlyfruitcake]

@@Noxiddar yea man, just ignore them and do as you like...

[@ReiseLukas]

The music this episode are among the most iconic songs in the franchise. The song that played when Shanks gave the Hat to Luffy was "To the Grandline" (which makes me cry) and the last song when Luffy fell from the sky at the end is "Overtaken". To this day those songs are a treasure to listen to. Overtaken especially will become iconic for you when you reach Arlong Park in the anime.

[@Noxiddar]

I think, and I didn't really draw attention to it like I wanted, but the way the music flowed almost nonstop from track to track as the episode progressed really did such a great job of setting the "dreamy" vibe with these flashbacks and moments of action. It was incredibly well done!

[@rujon288]

i like your idea of doing single reactions interspersed with batch reactions. for multi-episode fights it would make sense to do the longer ones or just some certain episodes with unbearable cliffhangers!

[@Noxiddar]

I like that. Make the batch recordings more of an organic outcome! Good plan! Sorry for the reply train on your last comment. 😅

[@callemontelius4772]

Hey. I respect you for being honest about having seen parts of it before. It's an amazing show and I really recommend sticking with it

[@Noxiddar]

I appreciate that. To be honest, this will always be a weird intro that I'm not a fan of. This wasn't even about honesty, but about seeing the start of a poison in the well narrative that I was being intentionally DISHONEST, you know? For me, as a creator, I'm seeing things logically and linearly from one video to the next. It was 2 minutes into the first video I ever made about One Piece, several weeks before deciding to react to the original Japanese, that I had said I'd seen a little bit of the show before. Fast forward to the first anime reaction, and I'm being shamed and accused of personally obfuscating this truth as part of some sinister plan to hustle people. At first, I was just going to ignore this because it is factually incorrect, but I didn't want my silence to be some weird admission of guilt for a crime I'd never committed. The whole thing seemed weird since, to me, I'd never stated it was a first time viewing (which would be dishonest). I jokingly told my Discord before I posted this video: 'Top 10 Anime Betrayals move over. Meet "Guy who watched 3.7% of the anime dubbed on his second monitor before deciding to react"' It's kind of just that level of ridiculous. Thank you for seeing through it! My intention is to take the ENTIRE journey. After episode 41 or 42 (I can't remember) we'll be beyond the live action, or what fragments I picked up about the dub. Even though it's all new to me in the sub where I have to focus a little (a lot) more. Welcome along for the journey! I'm glad you're here! 🏴‍☠️

[@thomasbrown4626]

Anyone who thinks Shanks has devil fruit powers was not paying attention in this episode at all. Shanks himself states clearly that those who eat devil fruits can't swim, they sink like stones. And it shows clearly in this episode him swimming to save Luffy, who sunk like a stone after eating the Gum Gum fruit. As for Luffy's intelligence, you will see as the show goes on. Just about any an every complicated concept goes straight over his head. And in spite of what I said in a comment on your previous reaction video, I am not so sure right now that it is that he has the ability and just doesn't care. Cus even after things are explained to him in the simplest possible manner, and on the rare occasion he actually listens, he still doesn't get it. Which is why I think in most cases he doesn't care to learn. Because Luffy DOES understand himself, and knows that it is a waste of time for him. As I said this is shown more as the show goes on. Finally, if drinking juice makes me a kid, I ain't growin' up.

[@Cloud-pm3lj]

Omg finally a reaction channel who analysis and approach one piece episodes as it should be! I'm invested.

[@Noxiddar]

As a fellow storyteller, I'm so invested not just in how a story unfolds but what motivated the pen to touch the page to begin with. I'm glad you are along with me through this journey! 🏴‍☠️☝️✌️

[@skits_3d824]

9:11 this was actually a reference in the live-action where Luffy is trying to get into the base in shell's town. He says he would ride a bird that would carry him. So, good one live action crew

[@Noxiddar]

Yes! I wanted to say something about it, but it does kind of happen quickly, and by that point, we were drawing our focus back to Zoro. I'm genuinely delighted for Live Action fans to discover that Easter egg!

[@bcool9272]

Jolly Roger is the flag in the main mast. The sail, if it's on the main mast is called the main. Regarding the weather, Nami is a navigator and a map creator, knowing the wind is essential to good navigation.

[@Noxiddar]

Yeah, I definitely knew that. Sometimes, I'm just saying factually wrong things in the moment. Thanks for clarifying things, though!

[@Ilikebeatzzz]

Pretty sure Oda said that even if you take a single bite, you'll get the devil fruit powers. After that it becomes a worthless, nasty tasting fruit. So I guess you could make a juice out of it. You just have to be the first one to eat, drink it.

[@SensiBurning90]

Yea that’s true. In the Ace novel he and a crew mate both ate the fruit but Ace was first so only he got the power.

[@Noxiddar]

That's interesting! It makes the rules around it very concrete. I like that!

[@houki8636]

So what happens when two people took the first bite together? Genuinely curious

[@Noxiddar]

Maybe it's like twins. One will always be older. Someone has to be the "Han shot first!"

[@Ilikebeatzzz]

@@houki8636 i mean. How can you guarantee that ? There will always be a time differece. Even if its just a nano second. Besides, there can only be 1 unique devil fruit user at one time.

[@pixelmicrocat]

whoever is telling you to pause less, don't listen to them. i've been loving your little rants so far, so i would say don't be afraid to pause in order to get your thoughts out and continue watching after ^^

[@Noxiddar]

Thank you for these kind words! I think it more so, I want to make sure I'm not going to burn out on this process in the editing room. I fully imagine once we are beyond Arlong Park I will FULLY unleash the power of the PAUSE while I absorb the next direction the journey takes. I think I'll do a wrap up review of all the different arcs to talk more about how it made me feel to go through this, since I'm spending a lot of time in these reactions thinking. I appreciate all the support and think the next video will be a multi-episode reaction. So get some popcorn ready! 🍿

[@johnmarkulep5339]

If Shanks has a devil fruit power, he would have sunk in the ocean when he rescued Luffy who has a devil fruit power too👍

[@Noxiddar]

Exactly, I never really bought that line of thinking for that rule alone. But I definitely think it's a nod to Shanks' actual power, where we get to see a mere fraction of it in just a glance alone. I could be way off base, but it seems like using the Lord of the Coast as a measuring stick is a great way to show, while keeping things close to the vest, which seems in spirit for Shanks' character.

[@E.T.FoneHome-lz4ce]

This was a fantastic video as always ❤️ i also forgot to give huge props for your amazing intro to your Eps1-3 video! Fantastic! The acting chops, voice acting especially, you showed gives something super special to your content! And i think reaction videos are going to be your fortay and main bread winner for your channel moving forward!!! Its rare for reactors to care enough to do little skits and if you do one each new arc or new show it could be a really cool main atrractor to your click thru!!

[@Noxiddar]

I appreciate the kind words! I was especially hoping to come across your comment this episode. I hope there are no hard feelings, and we can look forward to the grand adventure that awaits! Although the newest pirate crew that have come looking to collect my bounty are the 'Pause Crew Pirates'. They're a shifty bunch. Always wanting me to stop and talk. I bet they really are going to ambush me about my cars extended warranty. That's gotta be it. 🤣

[@mooglemog_uWu]

Yeah I love your reactions. I like how deeply you think about it like I do. One Piece changed my life so I'm all for it!!

[@Noxiddar]

I'm so grateful you found the channel and have joined along. Stay as long as you want. This has been a rather life altering journey already, and I'm just getting started!

[@sarafontanini7051]

it's never actually said outright in the show but the author has explained how eating a devil fruit works: -you only need a single bite of the devil fruit to gain its powers -only one person living at a time can have the power of a specific fruit once its eaten, so no you can't have more people eat the rest of it or its juice, tis first come first serve -in the case multiple people found a way to eat the fruit, the power would go to whoever took the first taste even if it's only by a fraction of a second. -Devil fruits taste terrible and considering the majority of the world is ocean so the side effects aren't small so most people have reason to want to eat them either way.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

Devil Fruit "rules" are as follows; 1. you only need to eat of the fruit, can be a single bite even, whomever tastes the fruit first gets the power. 2. no eating more than one fruit, if you eat a second devil fruit, the resounding power from the combined fruits would cause your body to explode. 3. each fruit has a unique power, and another of that fruit will not be found as long as the current user lives. 4. in exchange for this power, the seas will hate you and try to recover the fruit, sea water will weaken you and you cant swim.

[@matthewzeller5026]

This isn't a spoiler just a clarification to your question. Unfortunately you can't make Devil Fruit Juice. The instant any part of it is ingested the rest becomes inert and just a nasty tasting fruit.

[@rubbadubbs3242]

You should pause when you add your commentary in case you miss something (mostly subtitles). I know you’ll probably catch whatever you miss during editing, but it’ll be good to do that so we can see your initial reaction.

[@Noxiddar]

I love this idea if I wasn't such a tremendous bag of hot wind. This is actually my default go-to, but I got blasted by people on the other side because I paused too much. So I tried doing it their way this time. Surprise, surprise. It doesn't come without criticism from the way I'd done it in the first place! Haha. I love the diversity of opinions, though! I can only guarantee that I'll do my best! 🏴‍☠️

[@aruhik]

You'll understand what shanks did to the sea king with his eyes after about 500000000 episodes later. It's completely fine to hypothesize anything about it 😁

[@Noxiddar]

I feel like somehow people misconstrued me mentioning that I'd heard people wonder if he had devil fruit powers as meaning that's what I believed. So I went back and watched it, and it must be the way I clipped it for the opening because I do make that distinction that I believe it's something very primal (meaning not DF). The way animals sense danger. But I look forward to finding out for my own! ☝️✌️🏴‍☠️

[@johnmarkulep5339]

It’s funny that Luffy wore an anchor on his shirt because later on he became an anchor by eating the devil fruit and not being able take swim for the rest of his life; I think that shirt was a foreshadowing on what will happen to Luffy👌👍

[@Noxiddar]

Yo! You are so right. I hadn't considered this, but it makes complete sense!

[@ReiseLukas]

Also the shank is actually a part of the Anchor I beleive

[@JustABlah]

In the anime Yasopp gives a remark about how Luffy is a good swimmer, but in the manga Luffy couldn't swim to begin with so he was already an anchor 💀

[@OtomostheCrazy]

8:13 Yeah, that’s what I’ve been looking for in many videos recently. I like seeing people who mainly have the Live Action to work off of notice and compare the similarities and differences between the Live Action and the Anime

[@Noxiddar]

I'm definitely able to give that! Glad to have you along, and thanks for letting me play a part in your One Piece journey, too!

[@MugiwaraMSH]

Take from it what you wanna take from it brotha! Another W reaction filled with great insights

[@Noxiddar]

This is going to be my daily pirate affirmation! 🤣 I am a different kind of pirate. 🏴‍☠️ I am going to take from things what I want to take! 🏴‍☠️ I appreciate the support. I just wanted to have an anchor point to direct people back to about the linear flow to my journey and how I'm not trying to be (nor even being) dishonest or disingenuous about this endeavor. Thank you for recognizing that! From here on out, it's smooth sailing!

[@Nattinatt-ku7nu]

i get one piece reactions recommended and i mostly look for people who can say a lot and have good audio quality that i can listen to. Sure i was a bit unsure that you dont go full blind through this beginning of the show but im sure the anime is not one to one to the LA so im happy that there is still surprises for you. I love first time reactions and watched many youtubers. As long as you have fun continueing i definetely check out more of what you have to say (while im gaming or something).

[@Noxiddar]

🙏 May your gaming take you to many victories, as this anime and story will surely take me to new and wonderful places!

[@CaliDBan]

Don't second guess your thought process. You are on point. 😁

[@Noxiddar]

"You're on point" is also what they tell people about to walk into an unknown enemy fortified position. So maybe there will be third guesses, too! 🤣 But seriously, I really appreciate the support!

[@Tstarr600]

Man, it's cool. Japanese is a whole new telling of the same story animation. Luffy's energy in Japanese is incredible, second to none. Your reactions are genuine and fun, and you're doing the best kind of channel: one you are having fun with.

[@Noxiddar]

THIS. It's important for me, not just in doing what I do, but in what others might come to expect, is that they are getting something of value from me. As an entertainer, that is something deep in my core being. So what really prompted this response was seeing a growing concern that I was somehow swindling the audience out of value. It crossed a line. But now we are back on the voyage, and like you said, it's experiencing a whole new format of storytelling with the Japanese VA! It's probably also because I'm actually looking at this time and experiencing the story, instead of trying to mentally block it out while I had it on with the dub. Haha. I'm glad you are here on this journey with me! And I'm thankful I can play some small part of your journey as well!

[@patricklatham3897]

There actually was a sidestory where TWO people shared a devil fruit and took a bite simultaneously. BOTH lost the ability to swim, but only the one who swallowed first got the power. The canon of the story is debatable, but I hope this helps.

[@Rrz00]

Unlike the live action, here shanks is in the water. That answers the question of whether he has a fruit because if he did, he couldn't be swimming at all.

[@Noxiddar]

Exactly, I never held stock that he had devil fruit powers, I was trying to indicate that I think it's much simpler than that. Primal. But it's good for others to know this. And maybe it's a shortcoming from the initial introduction of the devil fruits in the LA that other people even posit that theory at all. And you're right, it really didn't help that he was on a boat as he did it!

[@thatguywiththeface5427]

the rules of devil fruits will mostly be answered far off in the future but one thing i can say (since its only mentioned in side stories and the q&a pages) only one persion can get a power from a fruit. the first one to taste it gains the power and the rest of the fruit is rendered an awful tasting regular fruit

[@Noxiddar]

I'm actually glad there is an adherence to this rule. It sounds limiting, but sometimes, the most creative output comes from the most limited input. Thanks for sharing that!

[@thatguywiththeface5427]

@@Noxiddar that’s partly why oda decided to make luffy’s power rubber. It’s such a limiting power that he has to make creative solutions

[@matthewpopow6647]

The flashback is amazing in the live action... my only criticism is the casting of Ben Beckman (the dark-haird badass who takes out 10+ mountain bandits with the back of his rifle)... they cast a middle age, grey haired portly guy... i got more shmee (peter pan) or gibbs (Pirates of the Caribbean). It is literally the ONLY poor catsing.

[@aodhancampbell7507]

So this actually gets explained in an SBS contained in the manga volumes; Devil Fruit powers can only go to one user. It doesn't matter how much you eat, the first one to take a bite reaps the benefits, and then it's just a really bad-tasting fruit. If two people take a bite of the same fruit at the same time, the powers go to the first to swallow. I have to imagine it'd be the same with Devil Fruit juice. Also, Shanks CAN'T have a Devil Fruit power, at least not any kind we've seen, since he was able to swim to save Luffy.

[@Noxiddar]

This will forever be a mental checkpoint along the journey where I have to keep in mind that when I share ideas that others present (that I don't ascribe to) people don't realize that unless I very clearly articulate it. This is a thought that other people had about Shanks. It was something I saw from others, like me, who had never seen One Piece before watching the live action, and so I was carrying that conversation over to the anime and picking it up in the middle of said conversation without better explaining why I brought it up. But it's always nice to see clarification! I think my main thrust was supposed to resemble something more like: "While I understand that Shanks does not have Devil Fruit powers, I'd been watching others get tripped up at this point in a few of the live action reactions I've watched from first time viewers where he stares down the Lord of the Coast, assuming he had Devil Fruit powers. I actually tend to think this is something much more primal and innate than a gifted power." This is probably what I wanted to articulate, but brain fog, bright lights, and overstimulating colors and sound does not often a coherent thought make. Haha.

[@ayakendil1337]

I love how you're analyzing Luffy's character, as much as I enjoy his Luffy I know he has his own flaws, but these are what we see get developped throughout the series, Luffy is a person who makes sure to always look for improvements, either it's his use of his power or his own personality traits, that's what makes him a great character to begin with. Even in this episode alone, you can see the difference between young Luffy and present Luffy.

[@Noxiddar]

I really enjoy breaking down the characters! I'm glad you are enjoying that, too! I don't think I would pay as close attention to the details if it wasn't for also having been given an understanding of how important these characters are for others. Which is partly why u had to stop my reaction in that one Super Eyepatch Wolf video. I felt that if it got too analytical, it might color my opinion too much, and my thoughts would no longer be my own. Much more to come!🏴‍☠️

I also really love your stories so please keep them coming

[@Noxiddar]

I appreciate this. 🙏 I think it also helps that I'm actually watching it this time instead of using it to help get me through my own self-inflicted torture of batch editing gameplay videos. It was never going to sit well with some folks no matter what I did, start from where I left off, or endeavor to watch what I'd seen differently and perhaps more analytical. Someone was going to have an issue with how I do it. But if Teddy Roosevelt taught me anything with "The Man in the Arena," it's that the cynics and naysayers are always on the outside looking in. I'm the one standing in the arena, in victory or defeat, daring great deeds. Thank you for your support.

[@thatguywiththeface5427]

one piece aired at an interesting time in history because at this point most localizations made their own custom openings for. The most infamous is the 4kids pirate rap we got for the (original) English dub but there are two others that also stand out. The German opening and the Italian opening. All three of these do have the essence of one piece in them but from different origins and they are all vastly different experiences to the original opening 1

[@Noxiddar]

I had no idea they had so many variant openings. That's awesome. As someone who watched Fox Kids and Disney's One Saturday Morning. I get it. They were whacky times in America at the turn of the century. Haha! I'll always have a special place in my heart for Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog!

[@samfisher6606]

You can definitely infer power level from how high the bounty is. But it's really a designation of how high of a threat the world government believes that person is _to the World Government._ Think of it as the difference between a drug lord and a traitorous spy. The drug lord might be stronger but the spy's bounty would probably be higher because they know more government secrets.

[@Noxiddar]

I like that explanation. That does make sense!

[@jeancanestri5572]

you are correct Shanks does indeed have a primal power that is not from a devil fruit. It will be explained later....way later...

I watched both dub and sub of One Piece, so it’s cool bro👌👍

[@Noxiddar]

It really was failure of due diligence to inform everyone at the beginning of the first reaction video, but I don't regret having chosen to have the dub on for background noise. It's not like I was watching it all the time. I will say that I do prefer the subs now that I've started it just because I feel like I can focus on the details in a way where the dub was too distracting. I can hear how the soundtrack plays with the originally delivered lines, and how the sound effects and use of silence give gravitas to a scene, where in the dub I was just waiting for the story to move. I think a huge difference is also in how I approached it. The dub was to get an idea of how whacky I could expect things. But with the sub, I am currently appreciating how wonderful things currently are with the understanding that it only gets better!

If u notice shanks is in the ocean when he saves luffy. I think that gave the wrong perception in the live action.

Right. I must have worded my thoughts all wonky. I myself never thought he was a devil fruit user, this was just something fresh in my mind from watching other people react to the live action. I'll probably have to restate this in a thousand different ways over the course of this video's lifespan too. Haha. I posit that he has an unpronounced form of power (aura) if you will, that feels primal, the way an animal detects danger. They can sense Shanks is a dangerous man, where Mountain Bandits can't intuit that for themselves. I guess I didn't explain that clear enough. RIP.

Great video

[@minggao3884]

The first one bite is enough for getting the devil fruit power. And there cannot be two person getting one same power at same time

[@WaverGreen]

It doesnt even start till little garden imo lol i always tell ppl to skip to ep 150 or so 😂

[@Noxiddar]

Interesting. But I am enjoying the moment to moment instances that remind me of stories and memories. So even if it doesn't start in earnest there, I'll sure start it from episode 1!

[@nadifmustafa5135]

@WaverGreen That's a bad advice lol

[@depressedtv]

It IS that deep

[@Noxiddar]

I am most certainly discovering this for myself. It's been not just exciting but also satisfying and edifying working through it all!

[@gamensch2629]

I think it is that deep. :)

If you're gonna go on monologues for a whole minute you might want to take the habit to pause the episode, it's really distracting to see important scenes unfold while you're talking to the camera. I do think it's more entertaining to watch people who think about what they're experiencing and can give some feedback, but watching the episode unfold in the meantime is just painful, doesn't matter how well people think they can multitask Anime/manga east blue deceptively differs from the live action too, so you might think you know what's coming and can go on anecdotes in the meantime when the anime actually has important stuff that was cut out. Not necessarily obvious in the first couple episodes but it'll become more than clear starting with Buggy and Usopp's arcs

[@Noxiddar]

The last time I multitasked on purpose, I left a spoon in my hot chocolate in the microwave, while letting the sink fill up with water for dishes that then overflowed onto the carpet I was vacuuming. I can guarantee I was only doing one thing at a time in that video. 🤣 I'm more than happy to pause more, and I thank you for volunteering to take the time out of your busy schedule to edit down my 3 to 4 hours of recording for a few episodes of anime! I'm not going to please anyone doing anything in any way. That's the nature of putting things out to the public. You're not wrong to recommend this.. in fact, it's good advice. But between the both of us, I'm the only one that knows what that would really entail. And I don't want to burn myself out before we leave the East Blue. I appreciate you checking out the reaction, even if it wasn't to your liking though!

[@ButtercoreFTW]

if he had devil fruit powers, he couldnt swim, which he clearly does

[@Noxiddar]

Right. Which is why I said I noticed other people saying it. Not that I believed it. I probably didn't explain it well enough there.

[@ButtercoreFTW]

@@Noxiddar no worries, just wanted to clarify, because you didnt seem sure about it. but if somebody can swim, its a clear sign that they dont have a fruit power

[@Noxiddar]

I wonder if I was positing it because I wanted to tie it back to the Live Acfion, and that was the first thing I remember people discussing. So, I probably passed it off like it was my theory when I was just making chit-chat. You're all good! I don't even mind if people think I misunderstood because there are a lot of Live Action only people who may not have caught that since it wasn't really explained very well. So these comments really are helpful! I appreciate you taking the time to clarify!🙏 ☝️✌️🏴‍☠️

[@lonewolf9325]

Ok, lets resume..you are actually the farthest compared to other 10 CCs doing OP. Will catch up with your latest videos in few days.

[@AliHussein-tf9vx]

man at least when you want to explain something stop the video < because sometimes you will miss some important info and hints of the future story>it is an advice you take it or leave it is up to you

[@Noxiddar]

It's actually funny you mention that because I made a skit at the start of the next reaction video covering the fact people were upset that I did that. So I appreciate the advice, and I do think I've improved in that a lot in the later videos. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Even if you didn't enjoy the video, I always value hearing what people are thinking. I wish you well on your own One Piece journey!

[@AliHussein-tf9vx]

You are wrong , I DID ENJOY YOUR REACTIONS and I really appreciate you respond to the comment I WILL JUST SAY "KEEP UP MAN "I HOPE FOR YOU THE BEST@@Noxiddar
