Yeah... Jello's from a different time man. Like a racist uncle hah! It's quite funny to see how his cohort have steadily cracked, as they failed to address the various ideological problems inherent to them, and moral failings. I'm sure it'll happen to my group as well, but Jello as of the present moment just isn't with it anymore. People want sincerity, moral good, and substance. Endless critique, especially bitter critique, can only get you so far as a creative and public figure. Jello's having a bit of a crashout, and it's a little sad to see it happen, but it does speak of a long-awaited movement from the current neoliberal (I think?) drudgery into something new. Hopefully not the conservatism of the past times, but something new. Focusing on letting art be free, embracing substance over sarcasm and attacks, and letting the ultimate moral judgements fall unto people by what they do and not what they say.

@@991yugioh I was making my own comment, but somehow everything got deleted TWICE when I pressed backspace. So fuck it, I'm copying wikipedia: In April 2012, Discotek Media announced that they will distribute the Love Com anime on DVD in North America in one subtitled boxset, which was released on 16 July 2013. In October 2023, Discotek Media announced during a livestream that it will receive an English dub produced by Sound Cadence Studios for the first time, and it was released on Blu-ray on 30 January 2024. The staff for the localization garnered controversy when writer Brendan Blaber (Jello) wrote on social media that he hated the original show, criticized its writing and voice acting, and changed the script and character personalities in an attempt to make the show watchable. He also stated they re-wrote transphobic parts of the show. Discotek Media stated they would no longer work with Blaber as a result of his admittance of this, though also defended the changes by stating dubs often "punch up the comedy" of anime and that all changes were approved by the show's original producers. To add extra clarification, the dub that was released was still close to the original show, so any change Blader claimed to have make was not even implemented. He also admitted that the dub was on a very tight budget to the point the lead actors were essentially given IOUs/favors or something as payment. Even with the patreon post being private, you don't leak company info like that! He also said that side and extra characters were played by trans and non-binary actors, which is cool, but if the leads couldn't be fully paid, ain't no way the LGBTQ+ cast were paid in full or at most given pennies. And the best part is that Blader's show was voice acted by people who worked for Sound Cadence Studios, and now he's fired from them. If we ever get new episodes of his own show, I cannot see all of the old cast returning. Amazing

(Usopp literally fights luffy.) 1:56 - Oda has a multitude of women, Linlin is one of the four emperors of the sea & the most vital character to luffys dream is Robin. Sexism doesnt make any sense. 2:06 - subjective as clearly people like it more as what it is. 2:19 - Yeah, in a sunken world where theres a vast amount of islands & luffy saves them. Non-point, you can literally use this to describe any fictional story with combat. 2:43 - all times Zoro has saved a woman was when they couldnt fight back or win. Zoro should let them die? Stop calling Zoro sexist, the person he respects most is a woman. (Also, three sword style was made because Oda wanted zoro to have more swords than Musashi.) 2:52 - Nami & Vivi are a headcanon; one I like 3:08 - Yeah Robin knows the secret of how to read the glyphs & everyone wants her.

The others truly just want to save people from tyranny. 3:47 - Theres literally been a multitude of characters freed from slavery who didn't, Fisher Tiger is literally in the story. Arlong or Hordy feel that way as they feel contempt for humans who didnt oppress them. 4:02 - They wanted to lure Whitebeard out & knew Ace needed to die live on camera? It took longer due to consistent interruptions & the fact a full scale invasion is taking place; if Ace was dead when whitebeard got there he'd sink the whole island. 4:39 - Oda could just have a preference in how he works. 4:47 - it's a longstanding story that has extensive worldbuilding. A vast amount of these characters are antagonists or people important to the history of the crew. 5:23 - You hate QnAs?? 6:02 - What a scummy thing to state like a fact when you literally don't know his situation & framing it like he's a narcissist. 6:09 - He literally had surgery on his eye you horrid person, making comedy about it when you know the situation is abhorrent. 6:40 - You had to read the story blind if you didnt see the death, racism, slavery, r@pe, & etc. 6:57 - The movie isnt canon but Uta was left behind due to a valid reason & the story recognizes Usopps dad as a bum. 7:12 - it actually wasnt a pleasant thing to say before making it into a pedophile joke & making implications. I don't know if you read this series with the worst lens possible but the way you downplay & insult Oda is why you're not taken seriously.

You can't just leave the grand line whenever you want because of the calm belt (which you mentioned) unless you're ungodly strong (like rayleigh) or have technology to by pass it like the mariens. Zoro also litteraly cuts a woman in half.

Look. I don’t care if you don’t like One Piece. Agree to disagree. But, the remarks made about Oda himself are downright cruel, ignorant, and offensive. Buddy. You’re an artist. I shouldn’t need to lecture you about manga industry abuse. You portray Oda as a control freak who willingly subjects himself to a work schedule where he gets 3 hours of sleep each day, just so he can draw all the sexy wahmen and “easily cut” characters himself, yet you ignore the pattern of legendary mangaka who’ve worked themselves to death, *literally death,* doing the same. The manga industry is one which preys upon artists too passionate for their own good, and frankly, refuses to acknowledge the limits of the human body. So to see you portray Oda’s deteriorating health and artwork as the result of him just being a weird little pervert, instead of it being the inevitable result of 27 years of systemic abuse?

But I really don't have to. All I have to say is that the one and only bit that made me laugh was when you said "This video is sponsored by... nothing." Just the obvious bitterness behind that delivery, like you're entitled to sponsors, summarises this whole video perfectly. By the tone of this video, you'd think Oda fucked Brendan's wife. Here's a tip, my guy, if you don't like something, you don't gotta watch it. You can watch something else. It's legal and the cops can't stop you. You took a break from this series for the sake of your mental health, and I must say, coming back to it by two-footing a hornets nest was certainly a move that you could choose to make. This is the first of the STIB videos where even I could tell "Oh, oh he is not joking, this is just his actual opinions, oh no."

Tiger Fisher in a great character. The whole point is that he was scarred by the abuse he experienced as a slave and he would always feel some irrational hatred for who he sees as the people that did it to him, but in spite of that he wanted to set a positive example for his crew and do what he could to push his people towards forgiveness and coexistence. Jimbei and Arlong both took away different messages from his conflicting sense of what was right and trauma-induced personal animosity he had to fight against humans. Literally the whole point of Fishman Island as an arc is the struggle between giving in to an existing cycle of hatred and seeking the arguably more challenging path of coexistence. Oda absolutely does not say all slaves are destined to perpetuate that treatment and I find that conclusion rather uncharitable and gross tbh

[@BenjiBloodshed]

@theeffingralyks5722 First of all, Ussop was 'being an asshole' cause The Going Merry is a ship from his home island and a gift from his childhood friend Kaya to the Straw Hats. It was also parallel to the fact that Ussop felt that the ship could be replaced and left behind despite being part of the crew HE could. It's why he tries to get back his agency and make himself important. Remember, Ussop was left behind by his pirate father, Yassop (a fact referenced in this video). It's the reason it turns into a fight. Fights in One Piece, especially if Luffy is involved, are usually fights over idealogy. Someone has already brought up the fact that the ship was taking damage, but another note is that Ussop couldn't fix the ship. Even the best shipwrights of Water 7 couldn't fix Merry since she took too much damage to stay seaworthy for long (literally why despite getting fixed, she breaks apart, and Franky DOES make the second ship On top of that, Franky's adventures during the two year time skip give peaks into Doctor Vegapunk, who is important down the line. I didn't mention that one as much because the ship part felt more important. I wouldn't make such a big stink about this normally but joking about Franky; not in the video but as a description like Jello is telling people 'No one cares about this character who is just here'. He might as well say that about the entire crew since apparently 'the boat has more personality'.

Arlong may not have been a slave, but he was a member of the Sun Pirates and enslaved Nami. Hody Jones was not a slave, but sought to enslave humanity (and from what I'm reading on the wiki but don't remember, apparently had some human slaves). Skypiea didn't have slavery, but did have themes of the oppressed native people becoming just as bad as their oppressors. Jello exaggerated things significantly and misrepresented things a bit, but Oda seems to hold a simplistic view of racism where he thinks that an oppressed group returning violence to their oppressors is often just as bad as the violence enacted against them in the first place, and that if everyone just decided to get along and share that problems could be resolved even if there were long-standing deeply entrenched systems of oppression. I think Oda means well, but Japan doesn't seem to be a place often confronted with the harsh realities of racism, nor a place terribly willing to acknowledge its own past and present faults in that regard.

[@Rodoet001]

@@TheShinySnivy I do not get where people get that the Sandians where "just as bad as their opressors" theme from, because I and *many* others even at the time didn't get that vibe. The Sandians problem is that they wanted for the Skypeans to leave Skypea, despite half the land being their native land, and that both sides were fighting a conflict that was highly uneccessary, but at no point where the Sandians presented as bad as Enel whom not even the Skypeans liked. Enel and his priests was presented as unrepentant oppressors and the Sandians fight against them was at no point presented as bad, arguably the exact opposite, they just happened to come in conflict with the Strawhats as they assumed the Strawhats where also enemies, a simple misunderstanding that quite quickly got rectified. I don't recal Hodi having slaves as much as captives whom he mostly used as canon fodder, but that might be the series being a little bit vague about their status. Thing with Hodi though is that he wasn't a former slave. He is just someone who idolised Arlong and a racist who believe fishmen where supreme to humans. He knew nothing of the suffering of fishmen and just wanted to terrorise and kill humans because he saw them as lesser, and wanted to take over Fishman Island because the king had some sympathy for humans. Dude was just a genuine bastard with no real reason or excuse for his behaviour and belief. Arlong might be the only one you could really make the argument of having slaves but he didn't really enslave the island as much as he extorted them. He didn't force labour upon them nor did he claim ownership of them, what he was doing to the village was more akin to a protection racket. "Pay me or else" type of deal. The only one he enslaved was Nami, and that was in part because she made a deal with him. Had she not done that he probably wouldn't have enslaved her. And we see that even back during his time in Tigerfish's crew the guy was a shithead. And even then, the series has consistently presented the slavery as worse than what Arlong did. Meanwhile, the amount of examples of justified anger against their trauma outnumbers the examples of people becoming monster because of their trauma. If anything, this shows that Oda has a nuanced look at it rather than a simplistic as he understands that people cope with trauma differently, and that just because you where a victim doesn't mean you can't be bad yourself.

That's right, he didn't call him a pedophile at all in the video. He literally just said the fact that some characters with bigass tits and pervy outfits are 16. That's really common in every Shonen manga ever, and it doesn't mean you're saying the author is a pedo just to go "I don't like that shit".

0:36 You can't just leave or enter the grand line. The calm belt exists between the seas and the grand line where Sea Beasts just hang out along with there being no wind. 1:53 Robin has multiple fights. Pell, Yama, Trebol, Cavendish, Black Maria, and a few that are manga spoilers. But she is also often in team fights too like Enel, Oars, Caesar, Monet, and Sentomaru (same with ussop) 2:09 East Blue Saga, Arabasta saga, Water 7 arc, Thriller Bark arc, Marineford Arc, the Dressrosa arc, Whole Cake Island arc, and the wano saga all are not about destroying an island and stopping it from happening. 3:06 Robin had one of the longest backstories in the series, 3 arcs of build up for her main arc in water 7 and Enies lobby, is given the single most important spot in the crew next to the captain as the only person who can actually find the one piece, and is tied to the ancient kingdom thanks to Ohara. Currently she is in the middle of an arc in the manga 3:44 This is just an insane thing to say. There is not a single character that was an slave that then became someone who enslaves others. I'm assuming he's talking about Arlong becoming a slave owner however, Arlong was never a slave at any point in his life. He was treated poorly by humans and he faced racism for sure however he was never enslaved. In fact the opposite has been shown. Rayleigh, Boa Hancock, Kuma, Ivankov, Robin, Koala, Hyougoro, Uzuki, and even the main character Luffy were all at one point slaves that stood up against slavery and did infact... not become racist enslavers. 4:10 This is how writing works when you plan ahead. (I do think sometimes people call things foreshadowing when it's clearly just a call back) 4:35 Oda has listened to and worked with editors. In fact he has credited his editors with a lot of story and character development ideas which he talks about the 3rd volume of the One Piece Magazine interview. 4:50 If you remove characters it is not the same story by the fact the story is different without them. With just your first example Gaimon... Removing him would dramatically change the story and make it far worse. Luffy interaction and wish not to ruin his dream helps Nami trust him and see the kind of person he is. Later on he befriends Buggy, a character that was previously shown as being purely evil, showing us, the audience, that there's a lot more to Buggy than we think... and it adds some comedy. Every character in a story adds something unique to said story. There's a difference to not liking a character and saying that a character is pointless. 4:57 If you remove whitebeard crew from the story who are all there to put their life on the line for Ace, it makes Ace seem way less important and like a no one who is just getting gassed up by the government for no reason. They also exist to show that Whitebeard doesn't care who you are or how many there are, he will love you all the same because you're part of his family. 5:04 I too would remove Kaku (the one from wano) 5:10 Each of the straw hats have unique dynamics with each other. Your favorite character, Robin, does not treat Sanji the same way she treats Nami. She does not treat Nami the same way she treats Jinbei. She doesn't treat Jinbei the same way she treats chopper. You could argue Zoro treats most of the crew the same like the example you give but are you really going to tell me Zoro treats Luffy the same way he treats Sanji. 5:15 please read Chapter 912 or watch ep 897 5:26 You've done a F&Q before too. 6:08 As an artist this is insanely insulting and extremely subjective. I personally think Oda early art style was more suited to my taste however his current art is undeniably much more detailed and expressive. He is constantly trying to improve... Even if it's in weird ways such as wanting to learn to draw butts better so he put nami and robin in... swimsuits during egghead. 6:16 Nah this is just facts. 6:55 Yasopp has been stated to be a shitty father. usopp doesn't resent him but the story doesn't paint him as a good father. Shanks left Uta so she wouldn't feel guilty and get blamed for murdering a whole town and the second she was in any actual danger he immediately went to go save her. 7:02 The manga industry in Japan sucks 7:26 Anime is weird, straight up. It'd be nice if they just made their characters official ages a little older but with how the entertainment industry is and... well what people want, their ages aren't gonna get higher. I like to use the following logic to know if it's okay to "sexualize" a character. If it acts like a child and looks like a child, it's not okay. If it acts like a child and looks like a women, it's not okay. If it acts like a women and looks like a women, it's okay. But I also think it's fine to take their official age into account with the acts and looks like a women one if you think it's okay to sexualize them. It's a tricky subject when really it shouldn't be if we just aged characters how they actually look and act. Overall this video is likely from the jungle.

[@DaKingKayden]

i agree with everything you said except for the last thing about ages. overall this comment probably came from the jungle

[@Rodoet001]

"This is how writing works when you plan ahead." Something we know from Epithet Erased that Jello isn't very good at doing. I would also like to add that Uta isn't canon and I seriously would like it if people stopped acting as if she was. None of the OP movies are canon, as is pretty much standard fair for movies based on anime series.

[@MarcMagma]

@@Rodoet001 She appeared in a manga panel when Shanks was scaring the sh*t out of Green Bull. Like Shiki, who also appeared in filler and a movie first, she is canon, but her story from the movie and filler isn't.

[@Voltar69]

You're right with almost everything but nobody is forcing Oda to sexualise obviously teenage characters like Rebecca or Carrot or even child characters like Bonni. (unless they're only sexualised in the anime or something but I doubt it). Pudding being 16 is so weird though, she lives independently and looks and acts 19+, actually cannot fathom why she's canonically so young.

[@Voltar69]

Whenever someone tries to tell me Uta is cannon I put my fingers in my ears and go ''LALALALALALA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!''.
