Luffy eating the Laughing Mushrooms so that he won't feel lonely and sad is so heartbreaking, and often overlooked by fans.

[@michaelk4295]

Luffy always speaks his thoughts, but Amazon Lily is probably the most “internal monologue” we get from him. Him reaching for drugs to help ease his loneliness is pretty bleak. I’m assuming Oda hasn’t actually used any mushrooms…though I’m not sure.

[@Charolette_Katakuri]

The reason why this scene hits so deep is because we are too used to seeing luffy being an wholesome heart warming character, especially his smile that brings happiness to everyone, seeing him lose everything that mattered for him right in front if his eyes and him crying is something we arent used to.

[@lindenbrock4102]

Makes sense

[@conankun88]

As Luffy also wasn't used to feel that much despair. This was way worse for him than everything before. In addition he knew that he has caused this with his punch against the celestial dragon.

[@hunbi1875]

Yeah, amazon lily is a dark place. Plus, the sabaody scene is sad too.

[@YellowFlash690]

Spoiler don’t read if ur not on the time skip yet It was for the good for the straw hats

[@bernardlovesadventures6649]

That's one thing. The biggest reason this scene hits hard for me is Luffy and crew suffering such a devastating loss when we expected the plot armour they had in all their previous adventures. The reality check that they weren't even close to being strong when they had always prided themselves on their strength

When this chapter was released, Oda took a break, a month. We know there are 1000+ chapters/episodes now, so the "fear" of death now for the main cast is low, but when you think way back in this moment, everyone felt a little weird real, questioning themeself: Did Oda really kill them? Everyone made this question at least 1 time The month of break was so painful

[@jtrthehax]

I was just thinking about this because I was like, "Why doesn't Jack get upset?" Then it was like, "Oh right, there's 1000s of episodes, so there's no question that the show will continue on"

[@regalroyn1011]

And it's way scarier in manga since there's no sounds for Kuma's power. The anime sound choice is very tame imo. Overall my favorite arc in OP

[@jedexentry]

Hands up for those watching it first hand and bully Oda why the series ended at that time 🙋🙋🙋

[@Blank-xn9im]

Pops for one piece fans back then

[@ramblinlemon]

I was one of those that read this when it came out. By happenstance this was the most recent chapter that was released when I caught up. Because I was like 12 or 13 I didn’t have much understanding of the manga industry so for around a month I thought one piece ended with the deaths of the strawhats. Pain that was only later surpassed by the eclipse in berserk.

[@zephon6745]

Calling the Celestial Dragons trash is an insult to trash.

[@Wudno.estr183]

True

[@Mezchano]

When that lady says "He's not very well endowed" it's referring to Luffys breast size, being that (most of them) have never seen a man they'd obviously have no reference point for the other kind of endowment.

[@Maxi_94]

"Should I root for Kuma?!" For the greatest hero in all of One Piece? Yes, yes you should.

[@Deode-d4h]

While I agree, let's not operate on future knowledge. That would be great.

[@Jungle_Twist]

Easily one of the best emotional moments in anime. We NEVER see Luffy like this. On the ground, writhing with guilt, crying his eyes out, unable to do anything about whats happening to his friends. He feels so useless. Its hard to watch our boy, this young man whos always so carefree and confident, reduced to this😢

[@andrewgross144]

Who knows where the others are, Kuma. Kuma knows. As a side note, for Kuma to send someone to another island, especially so far away, he would have to know exactly where that island is. Which is just so impressive! I love where Sanji was sent, and glad he wasn’t sent to Amazon Lily!

[@sshakababy]

lol he would have died from excessive bleeding even before he ever got turned to stone.

[@yuciehayashi266]

Rewatching this I realised Kuma took some time to know the crew members' skills. I suppose all are rewatching but if you're not, spoiler alert: For Zoro he already knew, so Mihawk. For Brook he decided with his look, all boney, so a place he'll be accepted. For Usopp he saw how he's using special items. For Sanji, the kicks so okama kenpo. For Franky, he saw how he had metal fist so Dr Vegapunk's hometown For Nami, I suppose he knows she's a navigator. Chopper as a doctor. Robin to a place revolutionary army will go soon. And Luffy to go learn Haki from the best Haki users country. It's subtle and never mentioned but good representation from Goda sensei.

[@ebonyangel951]

So many people just getting into One Piece have the luxury of knowing the story continues, but for those reading week to week in the manga, this is devastating because we had no idea if or how the whole crew would be reunited, or if it was just gonna be Luffy alone having to make a new crew.

[@Courier_Seven]

No joke, Kuma is one of my favorite characters in the whole story, cool design, awesome characterization, and i believe the reason for him carrying a bible is symbolic of Kuma's own massive amount of faith in whatever crazy grand scheme he seems to be taking part in by seemingly "helping" the strawhats here, plus you'd have to have an immense amount of faith to willingly allow yourself to be turned into a machine as part of a plan that may not work anyways.

[@TheBigE9999]

Now you know why Moriah let their shadows go on Thriller Bark. He knew first hand, that compared to what Luffy is feeling now, death would be a kindness

[@painvillegaming4119]

To be fair moriah didn’t let the shadow go

[@JackiW]

Yeah, "let go" would not be the words I'd use. Pretty sure we punched the living out of him and got him smooshed under the mansion.

[@thebasedone2182]

tbf Moria also kinda foreshadowed what would happen to Luffy. He told them that he'll lose his entire crew because they are weak.

These scenes hits hard cuz of how we see Luffy throughout their journey. We are used to seeing the Danger Luffy puts himself and crew through. No matter what danger Luffy always pulls through. This time there was no hope. If you put yourself in Luffy's head space. He is failing not just his crew but his closest friends. Friends he himself adamantly invited to accompany him.

This episode started it all for me. We had One Piece in our local TV when I was in the Middle School. The last episode I've watched was when they shot down the flag at Enies Lobby. I didn't watch One Piece for years after that. Then, one Sunday, I woke up earlier than usual, turned on the TV, and discovered that the same TV channel was airing One Piece again. It was the episode when Kuma "erased" them. I didn't know who Kuma was. I didn't know the context. I just knew that his crewmates were "dying" one-by-one. I felt devasted for Luffy. I jumped out of my couch after watching it and looked up on the Internet for the next episodes. I have watched the whole thing till I catch up to the lastest episode maybe 3 times now.
