so one piece is so good normally I don't want to watch the fillers even if their good.i want to continue the canon story...but in naruto bleach dragonball I want to watch the fillers even if their bad cause the main storylines disappoint me...is that normal for most people?....I love the animes over the mangas for those shows but for one piece..manga all day...oda gives a shit...unlike the other authors who are lazy imo

[@razkable]

fillers can be misplaced and arcs of it can piss me off...I want new things...a great "filler" quote un quote as its not in the manga and its not important to the main current arc going on or main characters but is important to a characters narrative and to me the perfect filler is episode 389 of shippuden...it adds so much to a characters backstory that the manga skims over that it made me realize why I like said character even more adding something unique to their already established backstory to put it in better context ..although it was technically mostly written but the author as a tie in to a film that was coming out to give context to a character in the films focus hence its timing but whatever...I will always say that filler ep is better than kishis canon chapter about a samurai vs hanzo that is so pointless...I cant believe that's in the manga..he really put focus on it?..lol..

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

My favorite part of this arc was that we were introduced to the shortest lived member of the Straw Hat crew, who lives on in our hearts thanks to his heroic sacrifice, staying behind in order to give the others the time to escape. The man, the myth, the legend: Con D. Oriano.

[@Dark_Jaguar]

If this ever got "canonized" by Oda (a not unheard of thing in.. fiction), I'd love to see this lie become the truth as well, with Condoriano snapping and convincing himself he really is a crew member, up to and including later showing up to, this time, INTENTIONALLY help them to escape from... say... Egghead Island.

[@Marcinex]

@@Dark_Jaguar In order to make this Canon Oda only needs to have a slight hint at Commander Jonathan. Either by a small one picture where he reads the newspaper about the crew, or him being a person called by the Marines etc. The only thing missing then would be the Manga owning up to it in some way that this happened. It's honestly a lot of potential wasted somewhat otherwise.

If you've watched the film Deadend Adventure, this filler was relevant to reintroduce these Marine characters.

Emma Humphrey do yu know what episode i should watch one piece from i wasted so much time ive watched 213 episodes of bullshit

[@Rautakello]

My favorite One Piece filler episodes always ended up being those one off episodes. Stuff like the filler episodes when the crew gets to Logue town. Luffy visiting Gold Rogers old drinking hole, Usopp having a duel, Sanji participating in a cook off. I love the episodes just post Enies Lobby for similar reasons. Zoro getting adopted by an overly attached foster mom, Sanji getting salt, Usopp trying to think of a way to rejoin the crew without demeaning himself. I think the reason I love these sorts of filler episodes is because they don't hold on desperately to that need to be another story driven arc with a big bad villain. I'd love it if One Piece had more episodes with a relaxed tone like that. The action packed plot of One Piece is usually good and all, but its sometimes a little exhausting when you go from long ass story arc to ANOTHER long ass story arc.

[@DemonPikachu]

Yass Rambles, those one-off episodes do have an unspoken strength to them; in world-building, having some breathing room in between arcs, and seeing how the straw hat crew deals with individual challenges relating to their abilities and aspirations. I don't often get to mention, but I actually like and appreciate certain characters getting special focus for their own personal plot event! It really helps show who they are and how they problem solve things, often without the main characters' help.

[@Rautakello]

@@DemonPikachu Exactly my point! Thats probably why aside from this rare arc, most of the filler that try to emulate that action packed story style of the main story just can't cut it for me. Aside from just the obvious dip in quality in all aspects, they just try to copy the flow of the main story, poorly. I can't think of any filler in the show that tries the longer story arc format and gets it right. Best case scenarios are small one or two episode short stories like the Marine Rookie Arc which had three episodes. That one kept the story nice and contained, without much of an overarching goal, aside from "WE NEED FOOD." Love that little filler arc.

[@kurona1248]

Yeah, i really like when the crew take their time to explore the islands and also expand the OP World even more. There is some context on why One Piece is more focused on action and the consequences of said action in the latest arcs but i really miss feeling like i was in an actual adventure and not another generic battle shounen... I always felt like One Piece wasn't focused on battles at all, they were there to move the plot onwards but the focus was always the adventure, the exploration of a world and all the wacky cultures and creatures that Oda could think off, how the straw hats would end up changing said world and so on

[@Dylankiwi1]

lol technically some of those are canon for some reason oda was rushing loguetown in order for them to grand line in chapter 100, usopp buying his equipment that's canon shown in the chapter covers.

[@Rautakello]

@@Dylankiwi1 Bet the Shounen Jump editors were really pushing for the crew to get to Grand Line by 100 for marketing reasons. Seems like the kind of thing editors would do. I really like it when One Piece uses its filler for worldbuilding rather than... I dunno. What was that one filler after Dressrosa with the dude that had the make-anyone-your-pet ability. I just... Why? Y'know? Nothing was gained from fighting this random filler boss. Much rather have episodes like the Loguetown stuff or the post Enies Lobby episodes.

[@genesisfrog]

I want to add something about the Foxy arc: it WAS canon, but the anime added a LOT to it. The manga only had the old man from Long Ring Long Land, the barrel race, the Groggy Ring match, and Foxy vs Afro Luffy, and then it went straight to meeting Aokiji and heading to Water 7. It doesn't drag in the manga nearly as badly.

[@celia1888]

yeah that arc is a set up arc (we hear of other davy back fight in the series and it helps understand those circumstances because we've seen first hand what a davy back fight is, so Oda can drop hints and news without having to point them out heavily. It also serves to some character exploration which is always nice

[@robbybevard8034]

Yup. Had the anime just straight adapted the manga, the Foxy arc would have been five or six episodes, eight with reasonable padding. Instead it was FIFTEEN episodes long. Of course it felt dragged out and like filler, it was three times longer than it should have been.

[@kiffu94]

anime foxy arc is best :) be a true op fan and don.t qq about evrythink. Like 90% of any fan base comunity

[@tpsam]

@@kiffu94 i disagree We can be a better fan base by providing really reasonable constructive criticism when needed like the top comment above against foxy arc. I don't see a fan base being blindly ok with everything produced as a good thing because this attitude often leads to be overprotective or biased towards the series. It's kinda like a person that can admit his own mistake and say sorry and try to improve is way better than someone who is always apologetic for himself and makes a lot of excuses and always blame others. A fan base that can reasonable understand when its favorite product is flawed has a more positive impact on the product and is also more welcoming for some new fans

[@joemaster312]

This is an important distinction i see very few people acknowledge. In the Anime, the Foxy arc gets like 2 additional whole davy back fights iirc. At least half of that arc in the anime *is* filler, even if the concept and 3 of the challenges aren't.

Which filler do I watch and which should I drop??

[@whade62000]

When you look at the wider plot sturcture, Jonathan is the actual the protagonist of this arc and the Strawhats are the secondary main characters. The arc is about Jonathan trying to protect his beloved base, comrades and peaceful life from an inspector trying to shut them down by finding a convenient excuse to justify the existence of the base in the Strawhat's "invasion". Who by his own cunning succeeds by the end, not just demonstrating the full power of the base, his own ability and his team's, but making their failure entirely the fault of the inspector and simultaneously letting the Strawhats, who have served their purpose and who he may actually like, get away. I think it's always very satisfying in stories when they have sort of an accompanying arc to the main character's quest like this. OP itself has done this quite a few times, such as with Coby's and Helmeppo's chapter, or Usopp's kid followers, or Vivi, or Norland, or even Hiluluk and Kureha and so on. And it's great because you get to see how the main cast touches and changes the lives of others (sometimes unaware). It gives you the immense satisfaction of making you fall in love with side characters and see their arcs come to a satisfactory conclusion while simultaneously being promised more new adventures with new people. One more reason the G8 arc is very OnePiece-ish because it is true to this formula.

[@Kohdok]

Really? Nothing about Chopper and Nami's arc in this? Part of the brilliance of G-8 is that the situations all play into the straw-hat's strengths as characters. Sanji and Chopper both have their ideals tested, as both essentially blow their cover to do what they feel is proper. Chopper basically volunteers himself and Nami to help the overworked doctor with her patients and win her trust; she is instrumental in helping them escape.

And the cool shipwright who taught Ussop about something later Franky would tell him. So much foreshadowing is going on there and it is amazing. Also loved the details in there. Absolutely good filler.

[@VladDascaliuc]

Unpopular opinion: I like One Piece's filler episodes.

[@superchiefdunga5394]

Me too. I find most of them really funny.

[@VladDascaliuc]

@@superchiefdunga5394 More than "funny", I'd say is the mundane feel to it what makes it for me. Like, they get to an island, get provisions, rest... Simple shit. If I were to choose a favourite stand alone filler episode, I'd choose the one in which Chopper has to spend time with Robin while getting water.

[@Minette203]

@@VladDascaliuc which one is that? I love mundane crew shit with them.

[@VladDascaliuc]

@@Minette203 It's the chapter 131. Also, looking for it I found again that one chapter where the crew goes on board of a marine ship and Sanji helps out one of the young chefs with the cooking (133). Actually, the whole Post-Alabasta arc (131-135) is really nice as a whole, and are some of the chapters I cherish the most from One Piece.

[@n124ajdx]

I like all of them

[@TheSoulbanker]

When a filler character becomes a meme for years to come. You can say you did a great fucking job. Condoriano you will be remembered as the best crewmate the strawhats ever had.

[@sesquipedalian6278]

given the tone and pace of the live action, I feel like this would actually make a really solid episode to give the characters more time to breathe and show us more. Like I think it would be awesome to show how Sanji uses the leftovers to make a brilliant meal whichi highlights his talents as a chef while also reminding how he might view 'waste' given how he once starved on an island with zev.

[@leonartha03]

Jonathan is such a great character that i wish to see him again in canon manga

[@ItsAVolcano]

Legit the scene where Sanji schools the Marine chef's was one of my favorite parts of the pre-timeskip anime.

[@zparty4543]

My favorite filler arc is most definitely dragon island. You know I loved the great pacing and high stakes

[@elliottpierce9823]

One of my favorite things about this arcs was that we saw a different side to the marines. They are technically the force of hero’s in this story but are corrupt at the top. I also loved seeing them be a competent antagonist without them having a devil fruit user to just come in and attempt to 1v1 Luffy. This arc also has some of the most funny scenes ever. Luffy’s face, Condoriano and the Octopus scene and more. In my opinion this arc was more entertaining then arcs like Alabasta and Skypia.

[@mysticflow467]

0:43 THIS WAS FILLER!?!??! i loved how usopp used the shock shell to get the boat out of there

[@AnyMe223]

Sadly this is a filler and (half of) the Foxxy arc in canon. Oda should declare this events as canon, though, it's beautifully written

[@ColmanLegrand]

to be honest I think Naruto cooking ramens with the rasengan was better

[@turtlenuggetz7895]

the only naurto filler i remember

[@AsherAce]

This was literally the ark that made me decide to stop watching Naruto filler and wait for Shippuden

[@justxsquiet242]

WHEN AND WHERE

[@K1ngHoward]

@@justxsquiet242 I think they are probably referring to this episode: /watch?v=G17V-qBC2oY

[@TrapGod_JackofAllTrades]

Roboto

[@SuperKillJoy15]

Probably my favorite filler Arc just after this one is the Arc where everyone but Robin loses their memory of eachother and everything back to just before they first met and she has to hold everyone together while not fully understanding their histories. It really shows how much the characters have changed since meeting Luffy. It also setsup the idea that we really dont know Robin as much as we do everyone else which leads into Water 7 and her Arc/History.

[@theomusa6824]

So glad to see this video back up, the clip with no context is what made me even start the show

[@Abagail330]

Someone: "Why'd you start watching One Piece?" **Shows them clip** Someone: "Oh."

[@kanarokan6060]

i loved the foxy arc , zoro and sanji kicked ass i reas the manga btw

[@LoganWH8]

I also think this was the best possible time in the story for a plot like this of infiltrating a marine base, because the status of the crew in this moment is perfect for it. After Alabasta, Luffy, Zoro, and Robin have official bounties and bounty posters, although Robin’s only has a photo of her as a child. Sanji, Usopp, Nami, and Chopper, however, do not have bounties and are still anonymous, though Chopper is still extremely conspicuous. That means roughly half of the crew can blend in with the marines almost seamlessly, however Luffy, Zoro, and Chopper, the three most likely to cause a scene, have to be sneaky. After Enies Lobby, all of them (except Usopp and maybe Sanji, but he always pulls off some genius subterfuge regardless) have their faces out there on wanted posters.

One Piece Fillers are just done right

[@blue_the_duke]

In my opinion, G8, the Marine rookie arc and Gunkanjima arc are the best filler arcs.

[@kurona1248]

idk really, i always skip the dragon filler from pre Red Line, the pineapple rainbow mist island, the Robin rescue flashbacks and that arc with the kung fu dugong and the tamer devil fruit user or something, i only really watch G8 at this point and sometimes the long ring long land arc, skipping the foxy return. I used to read One Piece and watch the anime as a companion piece but Dressrosa sucked almost all of my interest in the anime...

[@minch333]

Yeah but, why does a naval base need a pediatrician? Check mate, filler!

[@dannish8119]

There's a married couple. That can lead to certain things.

[@amitamaru]

Military people have families. It's not uncommon to have parts of your base dedicated to families. There's an elementary school on the base I used to be stationed to. Which means kids, which means pediatricians.

[@Bes7iA]

It is explained, g-8 isn't very popular, so at the time to send a doctor they didn't even flinch about sending anyone who had the word doctor in them, and they were also short on medical staff, so in their minds any doctor is better than no doctor

[@cilonrs]

seakids, obviously

[@tiagodarkpeasant]

@@Bes7iA they also guard stranded ships, so what if they rescue children in a shipwreck, they wouldn't need to take then to the continent for treatment

[@stevesmith1383]

The Foxy arc was important since it gave Robin more time with the crew, making the following arc have more dramatic effect

[@dropletq3477]

yes and no? cause like, they couldve had something less annoying. most people think LRLI is filler cause its too annoying and uncomfortable.

[@bluescluessuperagent]

@@dropletq3477 it actually is like part filler. They changed the arc and the foxy arc in the anime

[@dropletq3477]

@@bluescluessuperagent yeah which made it worse. we did not need 6 rounds of that crap. even the foxy return one. even though that one was actually better cause it wasnt a bullsh*t davy back fight. davy back fights should never have been codified. love oda. that was a flop. it was kind of funny but still

Looooool 😂😂😂🤣🤣 That just makes Brook more awesome

who ever was the one that gave us condoriano. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

[@mariothane8754]

This was an actually fun arc with a lot of moments that made me realize the proper dynamics for Marines and pirates. Usually, they are antagonistic because they’re on opposite sides, but you see a good marine with a good base fighting against pirates in a game of strategy to the point where you kind of love every side and that’s rare to see.

[@calzonel8642]

i think that foxy's arc had a genuinely great moment. It fully cemented Zoro's and Sanji's respect with one another.

[@LeafGreen250]

I hate being that guy, but you forgot to mention something. And by that i mean the fact that this arc sets some ground for what is going to come. Let me explain myself. When Usopp tells what happend to the old man he something, that someting ended being the Klabautermann.

[@KeanuOR]

Not one piece related but... Anyone remember that Chikara (Power) arc from Naruto? That was some nice filler.

[@happypawfun2143]

Yes I loved this arc there was also a lot of funny jokes as well!

[@TheGamingGuyYT]

HOW DARE YOU DISS LONG RING LONG LAND It's one of the arcs that cements robins feelings for the straw hats which eventually leads to the iconic scene in enies lobby, it also makes zoro and Sanji interact and work with each other which leads to them to trusting and caring for each other you see this in the arc right after where zoro is worried about Sanji being on the sea train to enies lobby and why zoro felt so betrayed when Sanji ran off to get married until he understood the circumstances and so many more examples I won't go into because I dont want to write a whole essay and the arc introduces best character ever SILVER FOXY OF THE FOXY PRIATES

[@JoiskiMe]

Y.E.S. When I read the thumbnail I knew immediately which filler you meant. I loved this arc so so so much. It was just pure One Piece fun. And it worked as an excellent transition!

[@Zeverinsen]

Jonathan could've been Daddy Mastersson's brother, and been almost cannon. They look similar enough 🤷🏽‍♀️ I wish they would've cared enough about the One Piece anime to make *all* arcs as well made as this filler. I hope that they'll one day do a complete seasonal remaster/remake, with at least 2 chapters per episode and a clear focus on detail. I'd watch OP all over again for that TBH. OP has a top tier story, but the animation is so lack luster because they insist on it being weekly.

[@Zeverinsen]

Ok, 3 years later it has been confirmed that they will do what I asked... Hope I live to see the day, unlike our fallen nakama who won't live to see the end of OP 🙏🏽

[@IvanSal778]

I really like the Foxy arc tho when Luffy was kicking ass with an afro was badass. Seriously and the dub made me bust a nut" Alright pops let's rock.... oh yeah" man I love that fight it reminds me of one of my fovirote anime hajime no ippo. "Does the afro make the champion or the champion the afro a question even modern science can't answer" idk how people hated that arc man that fight was too great

[@foxlineon7375]

It was all because of the Afro that luffy won then...…. GOD BLESS THE AFRO!!!!

[@selfreference2]

Remember: the last 75% of the first FMA was non-canon and that shit was goddamn amazing.

[@madkoala2130]

Not really. For me that ending did nothing but disservice to worldbuilding by comferming its alternate history earth. Like seriusly that twist destroyed for me orignal FMA because they showed some fantastic locations and towns that are really not possible in Europe in any time line (I am from Europe and there is no fraction of sandy deserts in area of middle Europe). That isekai ending was just plain old shit and THANK GOD FMAB fixed everything from that and made it objectively better then orignal in EVERY WAY.

[@DANBAN119]

I think the main reason people think g8 was canon and LRLL was filler was because of the gravity of each, G8 definitely has more stakes involved, strawhats have to get there ship back AND get their gold back AND escape a marine fortress. LRLL in comparison is just a tournament arc, and a mediocre one at that. Sure the threat of loosing members of the crew are there, but I think going into it everyone knew that wasn't going to happen, especially against a nobody like Foxy. Meanwhile with the G8, Johnathan is an actual threat, my first time watching it I wasn't sure if the strawhats were gonna make it out with everything. Of course no characters were gonna be left behind, but making it out with the gold, or any stuff they got from Skypeia, or even with the Going Merry was all in question. and better than anything it didn't over stay it's welcome like LRLL, which would have probably been better if it was the length of G8.

[@nellewoodruff6337]

My 2 favorite scenes were a tie between Usopp and Zoro pretending the inspector that Robin was impersonating was one of them, and the part where Usopp kept making Sanji grab the wrong dials.

[@ashvincr7855]

This arc is a little dumb Like u could have put a hole in the straw hat ship Done the adventure is DONE!!!😅

The Sanji & Luffy scene in the kitchen is something I **always** rewatch when going back to old episodes. It is too good.
