Fun Fact: By the time of his recording of this video One Piece was indeed ranked 3rd. However at this point the story has roughly 250 more chapters and has already surpassed Batman in Lifetime Sales (and considering that by his estimation it would have taken a decade for him to accomplish that, I think that's badass)

[@adamcarlson2192]

Yeah, his estimates there were way off. I'm pretty sure the current numbers put OP firmly in first place, but I haven't seen a recent look into it.

The Live action is getting good reviews I think a Spike is coming

covid drove the sales of traditional comics into the ground and manga skyrocketed.

[@vividly94]

One Piece is the #1 manga (or comic) of all time. Outsold everything Marvel and DC ever put out. Its "#3" in terms of book sales. First is the Bible, second is Harry Potter, and 3rd is One Piece. Can you imagine?

Its also the greatest selling comic by a single author of all time, and pretty sure right now superman is the only comic thats out sold it even if you include comics with multiple writers.

I've been slowly watching this show for the last year or 2. Currently around 800 episode's in. It's one of the most well written tv shows I've ever seen. So much humor and depth of character. I love it. Also, the Japanese voice actors are incredible.

[@user.Icarus]

You’re right, although it may not seem like it now, we live in a time where one of the greatest works of fiction is being produced and we are extremely fortunate. Manga isn’t like American comic books, where they can just hire new artists and writers to produce a new storyline, once Oda is done/gone the series will end. Future readers will read the series and probably wonder what it was like to read each chapter week by week, and they will never experience it the way we are now-they wont have readers around the world coming together each week to share their excitement, theories, and thoughts with one another, as well as interactions w/ Oda himself via SBSs.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

well i very much believe that is why Oda is making the Final Saga as we speak. he's no spring chicken anymore and sadly life expectancy has only lowered in the past decade or two. it's time to see how the story ends.

[@fenrirsilver6441]

@@UltimateGamerCC I think I even remember watching an interview of Oda at one point with him saying something along the lines of no mangaka over 40 should be doing a weekly series, and now he is like 48 or something. Very likely when he is done with one piece he might still do another story, but I doubt it will be weekly. You can tell he loves what he is doing...

I stopped watching aot after it started adding racism and killing characters like weeds. It was right after season 3 started that I made the choice to never watch anymore. I started watching One piece on a whim one night because I noticed it'd started getting attention and within 2 months- including stopping several times due to raw emotion and wondering if I could go on. I was ending Alabasta. Currently in the thousands now with the dub seeing as the site I watch has just updated the dub to 1,030. Then I'll wait for it to catch up again. I finished the live action IN ONE NIGHT! all 8 episodes starting at midnight my time on date of release and absolutely loved it! *I AM ON THE CRUISE!*

[@jdc51189]

The fact that you made this video made me come comment immediately, before even watching your actual vid… I thought anime was the only thing we didn’t have in common, lol!…( honestly tho, anybody who likes storytelling or anime will eventually love one piece… although I’ll admit it is a slow start…it takes 20-30 episodes/chapters to get to the top of the initial hill of the rollercoaster and enjoy the rest of the ride, but with 1000+ chapters/episodes it’s worth it )

I have been a fan of comics for 27 years. I discovered one piece last year, caught up in 3 months and now its my absolute favorite thing ive ever read.

[@jacobgerb]

As a long time fan of the series myself I agree with much of what you said here. :) I do recommend watching the live action, and would love reactions to it if you want. I found myself enjoying so much that it almost felt like I was reading it for the first time again. They changed so much but kept the heart and over all story in tact. There where things I didn't like but not enough to not recommend. :)

[@RS-fy9hb]

Considering the constraints and difficulties that the production team faced, I'm actually just in awe that they managed to produce something of such quality. There's things they need to iron out, and while the change in syrup village was a nice touch, there's many elements that need changing, and Sanji's motivation is a lot more fleshed out even in the anime, but given their time constraints, and limit of 8 episodes, I actually can't believe they managed to pull through with such a good show 😂.

[@RS-fy9hb]

I've been watching nonstop reactions to the live action, and they did such a good job, that there's a lot of known fans who actually like the live action more than the other ones, like Usopp being a more relatable and likable character in the LA rather than anime.

[@DavidRomigJr]

I began watching in 2001 back around the time the Arabasta arc was beginning. I binged all, walked away, binged all, walked away at least a few times. The last episode I watched was when they arrived on Zhou. Now that Luffy has reached a new level, I have to binge again. One thing I noticed that was kind of neat was in the beginning Luffy took down bosses easy, but as they progressed, it became harder and margins slimmer. The bosses were stronger but Luffy didn’t change much getting only a little stronger along the way, with his gears being the biggest improvements. His defeat of Lucci was practically luck. Then on Sabaody, they experienced a defeat that was absolute and overwhelming. If it weren’t for Kuma, they’d be in prison or dead. Luffy finally realized, with a little prompting, that he needed to truly train again if he was serious about continuing. The return after the time skip was awesome. And the first big battle, when he knocked out 50,000 fishmen with a look was iconic. The Straw Hat pirates were back, and formidable. Didn’t mean to go off on a tangent, but I did.

[@92mkd]

For the longest time I was of the sect - why watch this, it's for kids. Then after at that point cramming all of the big hitters and must watches in my so far 10yrs of anime watching. 5 years ago I endeavoured to conquer this mountain. And by God was I wrong. And am glad I was proven wrong. Simply put the way I watched was binging 500 eps and burning myself out. Don't do this. What I suggest is to watch one or two arcs at a time. Use the episode arc guide. 5yrs of watching and I'm on ep 850. With large swathes of time off. It is a world I can delve right back into whenever I feel like it. The live action simply reignited my love of OP. And hope to reach the start of wano soon.

[@jdaxwilson]

I just in countered one piece for the first time last week. I was off from work recovering from surgery and my oldest child “18” was watching the live action on Netflix. That’s all I know about this but I was drawn in instantly. If not for that I would have skipped this video with out giving it one thought. This was perfect timing! Lol

[@kamixakadio2441]

One Piece is closer to being Japans Lord of The Rings. The only similarity it has with those superhero comics, is its extremely high amount of sales, weekly release and colorful art. The Story structure itself is far more reminiscent of LoTR, as a Modern odyssey.

[@tapar11]

This is so helpful. I have been aware of One Piece for years, but the characters looked kinda meh and with so much content it seemed daunting to get into. I always hear it is great but never a good explanation. This articulated that really well so now I am looking forward to starting it up. Thanks for reacting to this!

[@thanossnap4170]

If you decide to start, don't "give up". I have a few friends who fell off, because it took some time to get rolling. But my god does it roll! And remember there is a reason it is so god damn popular. People have different "oh shit, i'm hooked now!", but i can promise it will arrive :P

[@geovanok7822]

This is my all time favorite anime and I've watched all the greats since the 80s.

[@Diddykonga]

Can't remember at what episode count I started watching, but I do remember that it took me about 16 days of Sleep, Eat, and Binge Watching but I finally caught up. I only wish, that I could forget it all and binge it all over again, although now it may take me about 100 days, still worth it.

[@savingstumps]

The live action was great, I think its actually a good way to get people into it. And then if they want, they can go back and start over. But lets be honest, the orginal early episodes can seem really too weird and turn people off with its animation.

[@danielhogston170]

Nope

[@RS-fy9hb]

The Live action was amazing, and while there were weaknesses, what they managed to pull off make those weaknesses seem insignificant. I can't believe they actually managed to capture the spirit of One Piece in a live action show. The anime does suffer from showing signs of aging, because animation has improved so much since then, and the social landscape and tropes within anime has shifted somewhat, that also means that if you're not familiar with the tropes and storytelling devices back then, you might not appreciate it as much, but every old fan should be probably be watching the older anime episodes with rose tinted glasses due to nostalgia etc. But when the nostalgia wears off and you already know the story, there is indeed little point in lingering in the old episodes. But I heard it was getting a remastered version? Or is that some propaganda or smth like that?

[@barmutah]

The first time i encounter one piece manga is when i was in middle school around 2001 and by the 2003 the anime is started to go on air on tv in my country and i start to religiously follow the manga and anime when i was in university around 2006 2007

[@Frantz_PA-C]

That was a frat synopsis of One Piece. I love One Piece and have been following it for 10 years and every Arc brings something new!

[@forzafan92]

i love One Piece, the world building, the forshadowing, all the characters good and bad, all come together to make the world of One Piece feel lived in. I also believe this is our modern day Tale of Gilgamesh, Tale of Odysseus. Oda will go down in history as one of the greatest story tellers in the world. oddly enough, i had watched the 4 kids version and thought nothing of it, untill several years later where i remembered a show that i had wanted to see, i ended up finding it on some random free to watch site and caught myself up to episode 640, i spent two whole months catching up. now, im one of those people that once i read a book or watch a series i cant go back and rewatch it simply becuase i remember the storyline and what happens, but with one piece and some other pieces of media, i have gone back and rewatched it, and fell in love with the series again. my favorite arc is water 7. my favorite character is Zoro.

[@andycooper6085]

A lot of people are finding the Live Action works as a more accessable way to find out what One Piece is all about as 8 episodes is a lot less intimidating than 107X episodes.

Sir, I love your content, and I love One Piece! I am THRILLED you did this reaction video!

I loved every minute and (several years later) it became my Netflix binge when I found they dropped the series on there! This made my day! Monkey D. Luffy is THE MAN! My favorite character is Roronoa Zoro, but Luffy is the man with the stretchy plan! They made something brilliant in this show. And I only thought I'd love the DragonBall series. My heart had to make room! One Piece introduced me to Inuyasha, Yuyu Hakusho, Ruruoni Kenshin etc! Love this stuff! We all need some silly fun sometimes! Take care! 🖖

[@TheXXIJackpot]

The new live action is really good even if it's more grounded that the manga/anime

[@ShinKyuubi]

The reason it's good is because unlike other attempts by Netflix....Cowboy Bebop and Death Note....they are working close with the creator AND the people working on it are all actual fans instead of people that think they know better than the creator of the series. Oda from what I understand gets final say in what makes it and what doesn't...not the execs at Netflix.

4:55 I have been watching One Piece since it first aired with the 4kids dub, all the way back in 2004. Even through the terrible dubs, the horrible rap, and the 4kids censorship, the beauty of the show shined through. I watched until 2009, when I ended up in a pretty bad situation in my life, the last episode was the ending of the Sabaody Archipelago arc, then when I got in a more stable place in 2012, I made the habit of watching at least once a year every year from beginning to current. And I have yet to have a watch through where I don't notice something new.

[@JordiLaForge]

Horrible rap?!?! You take that back! That was the best thing that dub could have ever given us! YA YO YAYOOOOO

[@fatcatcharlie1498]

I started the Anime in April caught up with current episodes in August then watched the live, love it. Love all the Straw Hats but specially Brook!

[@_burningshadow_8010]

Thing is "bro you're wearing a diaper" is the exact point. The epitome/strongest "masculine ego" makes what you wear irrelevant. Also giving extra meaning to the name "senor pink" plenty of men with "weak" masculine ego's/identities are afraid of the color pink/don't want to wear it. Yet if you imagine the most manly person you can think of walking in the streets wearing a pink tutu he's not even an inch less manly. For example say The Rock walks out on the street in a girly pink dress, he's still the rock, he's still a guy capable of probably ending you in a single punch. And he's still someone who wouldn't even care if everybody laughed at him for it. Senor Pink is a sort of epitome of manliness and a symbol against prejudice based on appearance. Oden once again repeats the same sentiment with his actions.

[@badplay156]

[@-Miasimon]

It's already less than 100m away from beating Superman. The Live Action series just came out, and I predict a massive spike as people who liked the LA version decide to check out the source. The Man of Steel fears the funny rubber monkey. Now here's a couple fun facts: One Piece is a weekly series that's done by basically just one guy. The man, the myth, the legend, Eichiro GOda. He *does* have assistants, but they mostly only ever do backgrounds or small inconsequential stuff. Barring health problems, he only takes 1 week off every 3 weeks. Now here's the kicker. Remember I said he pumps out a chapter just about every week. He does it the old fashioned way. *Ye olde pen on paper.*

[@dslight113]

the reason why anime in general exploded with DBZ, pokemon , one piece , and bleach . is the art style , nothing else. anime vs the western cartoon is just on a different lvl even in the early day's. and still is.

[@unclelink]

Currently at 1090 chapters (300 behind Hajime No Ippo but that's another story, no pun intended). While I appreciate the upsurge in fans, it also brought the toxic fans as though you can't separate the two. I try recommending Bakuman, not because of the main story but because of it presents the world of manga. It's not pretty. Deadlines, competition, health, etc. You can have a hit series but if you don't maintain reader interest/consistency, all that work could be dropped like a hot potato. Makes on appreciate your favourite manga even more!

React to Live Action One Piece? It's fun. The practical effects and actual work building the functional ships alone make it worth it, but they actually condensed it and took narrative liberties that just work. The manga will always be the best way to consume the story. But its the goofiest thing ive ever read that had actually made me cry multiple times.

[@BlackCap784]

huh. didn't think you'd be into this, but here i am as one of your views. hopefully there will be a part 2

[@dragonbretheren]

I think the true miracle of One Piece is that Eichiro Oda basically walked in and went "Hey, so I have a plan for a story that'll span 3 decades" and not only did Jump take him on, but (for the most part) none of the editors got in his way and he's been able to tell that story how he envisioned it. If you're not familiar with publishing, and specifically publishing for a big manga company like Jump, that degree of creative freedom is exceptionally rare. ESPECIALLY as a series like this grows bigger, there's increasing demands from the publisher and editors to stay within the mold, keep doing what was already successful, and basically stall out. The fact that (as of 2023) we can look forward and see the ending on the horizon, and look back and see every step along the way to get here, and how none of it was "filler" or "fluff" - how every island, every villain, every arc was relevant to the overall journey. I'd highly recommend the manga Bakuman, which is a peek behind the curtains in the form of a pseudo-autobiography by the writer and artist duo behind Death Note. Some of the compromises the artists are forced to make and the expectations they're forced to meet just to stay published is quite heartbreaking sometimes.

[@ryanolionheart1325]

Its not just that Oda is among the best selling authors of Anime/Manga. Or Comics..... Its of All time. Like he hanging with people Like Tolkien. Rowling. Shakespeare. He has Surpassed Authors like Stephen King and Tom Clancy or even Doctor Seuss. The only other Anime/Manga Author anywhere CLOSE is Toriyama. And Dragonball Series is 11 years older yet Oda higher on the list. He is in fact Tied with Rowling in the top 10 for the 2 youngest on the list as far as time writing. And this is accounting for Most writers with in the last couple hundred years world wide. It is INSANE. In 26 years he has created something that is out selling, out preforming and having as much or more a cultural impact as things like Shakespeare.

[@NaspalmHymnautic]

Dragon Ball, One Piece, Bleach and Naruto are like how you stated in the beginning, they are Marvel / DC level. One Piece (Anime and Manga) has the elements of Batman the Animated Series. Yes, it has many goofy elements, but (the non 4Kids Edits) treats their viewers the same BtAS did. It didnt sugarcoat nor hide major incidents away or shy away from certain subject. Every character has growth, Hero and Villains to even side characters get massive growth and development. For a Prime example, is like Pink is equal to Batman's Baby Doll. A tragic backstory to build the character up, but in returns use their tragity for better and for worse to make them rememberable.

[@Bmattsoren]

With 1091 current chapters… yeah I’d say it’s a daunting task to get into it and caught up. But it is possible, my now wife had never seen it and I regularly watch weekly, so when we started dating 6 years ago, she started asking questions I gave her a hard drive with every episode and said just start at episode one and she did, I’d come home at lunch and she’d be on her fifth or sixth episode of the day, she caught up within a month and she watches it weekly with me now (kind of our family time now)

With the success and popularity of the recent live action, it can only accelerate the sales of the comics, and so even when it was already accelerating, and has beaten batman, despite Supereyepatch estimating that it would take a decade, when it only took him a couple years, he's almost certainly going to topple Superman, and maybe even become the one single most popular author out there.

One piece currently has sold 525 million copies making it the second most sold comic of all time , behind superman which has sold 600 million copies

[@PascalM83]

Think so To. In Numbers One Piece is the best. Alone the Records they Made with The Story is amazing. For me best Manga and Anime ever

[@ShiroKage009]

My man is watching this video that looks at a series of over 800 chapters when it's 1092 chapters long. Also, it outsold almost every western comic ever. For single-author volumes, it's not even close. One Piece takes the cake by a massive mile.

No Señor Pink slander!

[@Hecubusx]

Super Eyepatch Wolf has done some amazing videos

[@Josh-ye9ol]

I couldent get into it. But then I started with the ghost in the shell movie, and the berserk golden age original, and gundam wing.

[@carismo9502]

BROOOOO, are you telling me you're watching/have watched One Piece? I already respected you but god dayum!

[@geovanok7822]

Well damn. Already really familair with it. Well travelled man so makes more sense. 80s baby here and j heard about it in 4kids era. Just jumped on in 2018. Was put off by animation and amount of content but now it's the standard. Enjoy your j.ourney man. Happy you finally jumped on an OP vid.

[@jackross0421]

Yoooo thanks for doing my suggestion!!

[@skyfire001]

One Piece is the second best selling comic book AND OVER ALL WORK OF FICTION of all time currently

[@powerfist1340]

as of now, there are 1060~ chapters and 1400+ named characters. It's in it's final saga, meaning it will likely be ending in the 1200-1300 chapters range. including shonen jump sales, One Piece has outsold both Superman and Batman in LIFETIME SALES, doubly impressive because of the extensive pirating and online hosting system prevalent for manga and anime, an issue which plagues comics to a significantly lesser extent.

[@thunderborn3231]

who would have guessed that a show about going and doing what you want, when you want, how you want would be popular to an oppressed people

[@SirusIIIXXCI]

Had a feeling you were a fan. Pretty sure I saw you wearing a shirt or two with Luffy on it. Good shit man =]

[@paigewhitney2118]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!

[@Deathrisear97]

its now on 1100 chapters and 1070 episodes and it surpassed batman and superman in sales a few years ago this video you are watching is 6 years old

[@surto3829]

11:50 thats the Core of One Piece!! 👒❤️

[@Bobolomeus]

daaaaaimn you know your shit. you got my respect

[@malissashore2192]

Its crazy, because at the time of this video there is at least 5 more years of story left.

[@astrogrim8819]

One piece is my favorite show of all time it's great

[@Justin_Ebright]

Do I know Mugiwara Luffy? Yeah, just a little. Been invested in that anime for a few decades now. Read ahead into the Manga a bit too after Wano.

[@drittzz9245]

Idk what anyone says OP is the greatest piece of fiction since Homer's Illiad argue with your mother 🙃

[@garrettbyers3729]

Its out selling superman and batman around the world now. Best sellig comic of all time

[@DavidsDead]

I need to start reading this again from the start and catch up. I think I left off somewhere in the 500 range. It's been a long time.

[@visoth7791]

It's crazy to me that Whole Cake Island arc was over 200 chapters ago. That's wild man. We're on chapter 1091 at the time of writing this. See you 200 chapters later.

[@malimillions]

One Piece is now being called a modern version of The Odyssey.

[@z00pac]

Start with the live action!!

[@Vmcf1968]

dude im brand new to one piece. i thought it was some hokey toon like any other manga. i was so wrong. its brilliant.

[@redbruhcolli]

YOU KNOW! I SAW THAT SMIRK!

[@UltimateGamerCC]

thing is with One Piece, character introductions are done so well, they can be memorized with the least amount of difficulty. so even with say 800+ characters, i personally remember most if not ALL of those characters. that's also a testament to how Oda makes sure no two characters are truly alike.
