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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@bcool9272]

2 things: - AfroLuffy is a meme - After Wano there's already Egghead

[@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.

[@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.

[@speeddemon7678]

I liked Long Ring Arc. It gave the crew a chance to relax somewhat after so many crazy adventures and it had some great moments like Zoro's speech to Chopper, Moss head's rivalry with Crap Cook, Funky Luffy, and the HORRIBLE flag Luffy made.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@GGHGNCOMICS]

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.

[@laggers740]

5:25 I genuinely thought you were talking about Condoriano...

[@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.

[@Poystudios]

me laughing at you laugh at Foxy pretending to be a cook Foxy is one of my favorite characters of all time

[@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...

[@tiffanitravesty2818]

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

[@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.

[@3twibles4sweetrevenge]

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.
