This One Piece arc makes fans QUIT.

Before getting to Water 7, y’all gotta cross the murky waters that is Long Ring Long Island and the best ever pirate team, The Foxy Pirates.
G8 also kicks ass.

I just realized that he missed the most important part of Long Ring Long Land where Aokiji showed up and recked the crew.

[@sarafontanini7051]

that's cause the anime moved that to a completely different island at the tail end of a foxy filler. After the worst filler arc in the anime.

[@lucasrogers9055]

Glad u did u deserve for skipping

[@UltimateGamerCC]

hate to break the terrible news but Foxy arc was Canonical... my guess is that Luffy and Shanks will one day have a Davy Back Fight instead of a straight brawl. so they introduced this via Foxy, that is unless Oda scrapped the idea after Foxy arc's reception.@@sarafontanini7051

@@GuyNamedLoffi I disagree because Long Ring Long Land gave us the first taste of Zoro and Sanji working together and also had some of the funniest pre-timeskip jokes in my opinion

[@ONEPEAKFRFR]

No, that's stupid. I'm not sure if you're caught up to the manga or not, but with the way things are going, seeing Foxy and the Davy Back fights come up again is kind of likely to happen. I mean, if [spoilers for the manga] Wapol can become an important character again, so can characters like Foxy and Enel. I think it's the animes fault for ruining this arc. It had a lot of great character moments but the anime ruined it.

[@MrEvolved]

​@@ONEPEAKFRFR Yeah, there's absolutely no way Oda introduced Davy Back Fights just for one time funsies.

[@jakoo133]

[@rickastley3045]

Something I noticed while watching one piece are that the (pre-timeskip) arcs that are considered ‘bad’ (Skypeia, Long Ring Long Land, Thriller Bark) are actually good, just hurt most by the pacing. LRLL and Thriller Bark are very humor based arcs, while Skypeia is an initially inconsequential seeming arc with alot of build up and tension. The new series should solve the pacing issue allowing these arcs to be better enjoyed.

[@nathandanczak7822]

Online fans mostly don't know what they're talking about. They're watching it for their own agenda, skypiea was okay, but I get is a wanting to do sometging. While long ring long land and thriller bark just go with the comedy with an interesting parts of the story getting big.

[@jarosbodytko6462]

This is why I don’t watch the anime and just stick to the manga. Poor pacing and filler in the anime would drive me up the wall. There’s no such issues with the manga. Particularly Skypea is a fantastic arc if you read it.

[@nathandanczak7822]

@jarosbodytko6462 The skypieans, shandorians and priests are pretty meh, and the whole save town goal was done way less interesting here. The setting taking place mostly in a foresty area was a letdown too.

[@mairiooooooo]

....... PEOPLE DONT LIKE SKYPIEA....? i heard about skypiea before i even heard of one piece have to admit i got really tired of skypiea at ep 192

[@damienearl8302]

@@jarosbodytko6462 Personally, I feel like the manga has the opposite issue often times, it's hard to catch a breath while reading through it because of how it'll sometimes just zip from moment to moment without lingering

[@stalhein62]

Oda doesn't do anything without reason. Long Ring Long Land may seem like a filler arc, but it's setting up things without you realising. This is the Grand Line, where a minor antagonist nearly beat Luffy, and after facing someone entirely out of his league shortly afterwards (which you either didn't mention or didn't get to?) Luffy is very aware of his weaknesses and failings.

[@evelynarhondi6375]

Totally agree! Usually upon first watch/read, people don't really understand how much this arc contributes to both the world building and the relationships between our crew. Such a shame there are so many who can't see past the wacky exterior.

[@MABfan11]

personally, i'm a fan of the One Piece is under Long Ring Long Land theory

[@kai_824]

So watch multiple episodes of things that don't matter to get to a fight that shows Luffy being outclassed(its already been shown twice with Enel and Crocodile) And the next arx does that even better when he then learns and unlocks 2nd and 3rs gear

[@vedwalker3974]

100% agree! I didn't regard Foxy and his story importance at first, but after some age and experience, it turns out his presence had far more narrative weigh than I was seeing. After Luffy smacked God around, Foxy was the first of a string of dominoes that kicked the main characters in upgrading their arsenal, and leading to, for me, the best arc of One Piece.

[@RikThunder33]

oh look, another one.

[@spyfire242]

I genuinely don't understand the hate this arc gets, its one of my favorites. Not every arc needs to be so high stakes...

[@elviswilliams1131]

I don't get it either like what about long ring long land is so bad

[@UltimateGamerCC]

well for me it's the fact that i cant stand lowdown cheating assclowns... then it doesnt help that it simply just took too damn long to finish. finally, it was lacking any real weight like ToonStarterz said, it really is. sure, it was goofy.. but we have goofy moments all the time, leaves it feeling like unnecessary filler.@@elviswilliams1131

[@f.carasind4188]

@@elviswilliams1131 The anime version should have been 5 episodes long including Aokiji while staying true to the manga - an all would have been fine. What we got is an extra-long arc that did do the opposite it should do to Luffy, Usopp and Robin while completely missing why the Davy Back Fight begun and how it should have ended (in the the straw hats don't take any of the highly sought shipwrights that weren't even clearly offered in the anime).

[@Kaisona2017]

It’s mainly because of the extra three filler games the anime added. If it was just the three games they had in the manga, it would’ve been a better arc.

[@Euphoryaaa]

Long Ring Long Island arc might not have any real definitive moments but it was nice seeing how the crew interacted with each other during these simpler times. Sooo many comedic character moments between the straw hats, & The birth of the Zoro/Sanji rivalry. Also Robin was really starting to feel like part of the crew at this point, I genuinely feared the straw hats losing her in the Davy Back challenge

[@RychuAlolan]

They literally meet Aokiji in this arc

[@Euphoryaaa]

@@RychuAlolan yea after some filler episodes about the strawhats losing their memories and a re-run in with the foxy pirate crew on a completely different island. Since the encounter with Aokiji didn’t happen on Long Ring Long Island, I didn’t necessarily consider it apart of this arc but more like the start of the Water 7 arc.

[@doge_69]

The zoro sanji rivalry started in little guarden though

[@WatanukiProductions]

Obviously part of why it is seen as filler particularly by anime onlys is because the anime version is more than 50% filler and the single most impactful and plot critical moment. Aokiji shows up, creates an ice bridge to allow the old man to rejoin his people and completely wrecks the Straw Hats. Has been moved to the beginning of Water 7 instead of the end of this arc to accommodate two additional filler arcs. The changes to accommodate non-canon events are woven into the story so they can't be skipped or ignored and drag down all the material around it so that even the canon material feels like filler. The thing is One Piece is a great setting for filler arcs, it is so easy to add another island in between their canon adventures. G-8 is pretty much the best example of this ever because it's expertly written to not interfere with the main story while at the same time reinforcing themes that are really important in Water 7. However, they essentially stop doing filler arcs and episodes moving forward and start doing a great deal more mid-arc filler and padding which is frankly, just the worst. "Hey you remember that emotional flashback? What if we repeated it 40 times in this arc."(40 times is not an exaggeration by the way.) In very recent years they have gotten better with their mid episode filler, as Oda is noticeably more in a hurry and has more events happen off-panel than ever before and the anime has started focusing on padding by expanding on off-panel stuff. So that some parts are legitimately better in the anime but the padding and slow pace still drags the whole thing down and I'm extremely grateful for One Pace and the remake coming soon.

[@weareshootingstars2396]

[@axelv9209]

This arc is my favorite it arc. It must be read not watched. It's the last arc where we see the straw hats being involved in a fun low stakes adventure (and also the only time we see the crew fighting an other crew as pirates on equal footing).This story is so incredibly funny, I used to carry with me the foxy arc with me every time I travelled because I knew if I would feel down, that would be my feel good moments despite having read this arc more than any other arcs. The anime did it dirty, One Piece must be read before all.

one piece is known for it's freedom and fun spirit. arcs like this are nice breaks after bigger arcs. it's a show meant for young teens. my kids and I have been binging it. the little mini arcs that are not to serious are great at giving the audience a break emotionally and get us laughing. if everything was high stakes 24/7 it'd get old quick.

[@benhavis2474]

The problem with Long Ring Long Land was, that it came after a Filler, felt like a Filler and was followed by another Filler while at the same time have a character in focus everyone dislikes.

[@gaminginvirinch3339]

The purpose of Long Ring Long Land is to have happy lucky go fun ride instead of going straight through water 7

[@damienearl8302]

Yeah, I looked back at where it took place to see how long it lasted, and it probably doesn't help that it followed what many seem to consider the best filler arc and was followed by an arc that was way shorter in comparison, which ended with a *second* run-in with Foxy

[@Irkaylub]

As much as people have problems with this arc, its so important to the pay off of the next 2 in thematic and literal ways, it mirrors many moments by the end. It's also really not that long.

[@hooeythegreat1987]

I actually found out recently that this arc is longer in the anime with 6 events instead of 3, or two rounds instead of one. I read the manga so there’s some anime only I missed out on…

I genuinely thought you were building up to say Condoriano and was not expecting the Marry.

[@SansINess53]

East blue : introduction Little garden-alabasta : a deep story. Skypiea : the world expansion lore (don't skip it, it's literally Robin's first adventure and a good arc to know where sanji lives) Long ring long land : Battle of PIrates (literally it's the first arc to feature zoro asking for help, so please don't skip the shit)

I thought it was boring, but ASTRO LUFFY so good enough

[@Lexi_Zone]

I really enjoy this arc. It's so much fun. Even the filler! I love the roller derby, how Luffy is so excited to do it multiple times only for the reveal that he can't skate _at all,_ all building up to the triumphant music playing when he finally manages to stand up without falling over. I know fans just want to get through it and reach Water 7, which I totally understand since Water 7 is probably my favorite arc in the whole story, but...

[@robinensz7162]

The two meme moments I can think of are luffy pointing to the deer and saying it's Chopper's family, and glorious Afro Luffy.

[@JoshucaVA]

Bruh, how could you ignore the iconic aspect that is Afro Luffy? That is one of the biggest memes in the entire franchise

[@tiffanitravesty2818]

The best take i have absorbed about LRLL is that it subverts audience expectations before the high stakes of the Water 7 arc.

[@TheMags53]

Your OP videos are so good to watch bc you, as a newcomer to the series, get it. There's so many people focused on battles, power slacing or plot progression that dare to discard Skypiea, Long Ring Long Land and the fillers despite being perfectly fun and good despite their obvious issues (except Skypiea, that arc is masterful storytelling). Can't wait for more videos.

[@shreeder4092]

I’m surprised you didn’t bring up either Afro Luffy or Aokiji in the video since they tend to be the most memorable parts about the arc.

[@GalaxyBoI4]

i thought he was gonna say condoriano when he hyped up going merry

[@jaxerman5965]

I distinctively remember liking the Foxy pirates, because, when I watched as a kid It was kind of threatening that these masked goobers basically took hostage members of the crew with dumb games, I kept imagining they would appear again later and I liked them. Also, the first time, I missed the reason why they HAD to play the games, It was like an excuse. I actually thought this would heave CONSECUENCES because IMPORTANT I didn't know how long the show would go for (I remember thinking at one point, the build up for Ennies Lobby was the ending) It's something to keep in mind, like, THAT was a thing.

[@3twibles4sweetrevenge]

6:09 yall dont tell me my ass was the only thinking he'd say condoriano

[@AnyMEmdq]

LRLL has 3 memorable memes that are enough for its length in the manga: 1. Old guy offering Luffy some milk, and then saying "I can't find the milk, but here, have some cheese" 2. Nami proposing they took Foxy for winning the 2nd competition, winning the 3rd by default and immediately recovering Chopper, Robin pointing out that if they did that they would end up with Foxy as part of the crew, and everyone, including Nami, agreeing it was a really bad idea 3. The unparalleled power of Luffy's Afro

One of my favorite things about G8 is Jonathan's connection to Akainu. It adds credibility to Jonathan as a threat while Humanising Akainu in ways we don't get too much of. Seeing someone so laid back and kind to his men in contrast to Akainu's impatience and wrath makes for a really interesting foil. I wish he were canon.

[@supremefankai5480]

Finally, someone who doesn't rag on the the other filler arcs of One Piece, yes everyone loves G8 but the others are fine. The good thing is that they never last too long so it breaks up the more hype action with goofy fun times. Though if the Longring Longland arc has a quality meme, it's gotta be the sheer awesomeness that is Afro Luffy! That afro increases his strength you know? P.S. you need to update your arc roadmap, cuz we be knee-deep in the one after Wano. Thems the breaks.

[@Desmxnd-]

As someone who read the manga up until now this arc was even extremely boring to me and my least favorite. I will say overtime I learned to understand why it was even a thing but it was definitely not the most exciting arc lmao but at least we got afro Luffy. Also if you're watching the anime do not skip arcs, it's literally all part of the story and journey.

After recently getting through this Arc I also found it pretty entertaining. I just viewed it as The Straw Hats getting ambushed by Waluigi and tricked into playing Mario Party with him. Also getting to see what a Gear Six Luffy would look like by the end was cool too.

[@wbbooth]

Long Ring is a good argument towards not skipping the G4 filler arc in the anime. It makes a better next step after the straw hats fall back down to the ocean from Skypeia. And the Long Ring arc views better without the pressure of following up the highs of Skypeia.

[@wbbooth]

[@f.carasind4188]

The G8 filler arc is the only saving grace for the anime in this part of the story. Until today I'm not sure if the teams for this arcs weren't switched by mistake. One created a filler arc that is so good that it can be seen as nearly canon. The other adapted a canon arc so bad that it is now very close to filler.

[@MasterHigure]

LLRL was bloated into oblivion compared to the manga. There was no second round of the game (we only had rafts, Zoro/Sanji human capture the flag, and Luffy/Foxy duel on the ship, no roller derby, no dodgeball, no red light / green light), and the admiral is the one who sends the old guy on his way before he starts kicking the crew's butts. And while the arc is silly and dorky, there are themes touched upon here that will come back bigger and badder later (in particular that cfrew members can be lost). On the other hand, G8 is perhaps the best filler in the history of anime.

[@sanji_joestar]

[@skits_3d824]

When you realize that Foxy's slow slow power is essentially OVER POWERED and the only thing that's stopping him from slowing down ANYTHING for 30 seconds is his own fragile ego. Imagine it, he only does small things like cannonballs, people, or natural events like stopping waves. All to satisfy or help him. Imagine this... Someone is dying and he can give them more time by slowing them down to figure out a solution to save them. Yeah I don't underestimate "ANYTHING" in one piece. Do I find him annoying sure. But like you said in your previous analysis if you can get someone like that on your side then you've already won.
