Crocodile one of the best characters that suffers from early story syndrome making him weaker then it actually should be.

[@rkvlegacy9206]

Well he got stronger and is now YC1+ Level as Oda admitted he attended Crocodile to be.

[@BraceDecades]

He got his dreams crushed. Since Haki equals Ambition, getting knocked down several pegs literally sapped all his strength away from him. Now he's returned.

[@orbboom6119]

​@@BraceDecadesis basic armament haki really enough of a boost to get to YC1 level?😂 The only way ill buy his strength is if he awakened his logia

[@thepandasamurai228]

Yeah but we would have gotten another mid villain that was weak and that would just be boring. I’m actually glad crocodile appeared early

[@bjsuits]

He got them prison gains lol Seriously though how’s it so hard to believe that Crocodile was lax on physical stats from sitting in the shadows, in the first half of the grand line no less, and over relying on logia abilities? If Luffy and Co. can grow why not Crocodile? He’s dangerous because of his intelligence and now he’s got more strength to enact his goals.

[@majormoron605]

Crocodile: Alright, strawhat, popquiz Luffy: Oh no

[@jerlpu7187]

Luffy would be the guy to say pass and it being the right answer against crocodile though

Luffy skipped school just to get a pop quiz lol

[@pemagurung2325]

[@aidenmcdiarmid5898]

Hell nah

[@IKishou]

Alabasta was the arc where I truly got invested into one piece and it was pretty much all due to crocodile. He was so ominous and cold. It was the first time I thought that the Straw Hats path to achieving Luffy’s goals in particular really wasn’t going to be easy as he genuinely posed a real threat to the Straw Hats, so I feel like Crocodile set a gold standard in some ways for a good one piece villain in my eyes.

[@christophergolden1635]

Alabasta was the one that got me The exact scene was when the pirates pretended to be a part of the military and started killing civilians to try and cause a Civil War. At that point I realized the world is bigger than luffy

[@Lyu-Phy]

Yeah Alabasta and Crocodile set the tone of every major arc that came after.

[@yardman8842]

Dont forget doflamingo he was the most ruthless , cold hearted , gangster in One piece

[@IKishou]

@@yardman8842 Of course I’m not forgetting him or anyone else. Im just talking about crocodile as for one it’s a crocodile based video and he is what got me hooked on One Piece. Secondly for me he is the quintessential cold and cunning antagonist / turned anti hero in current times, that really posed a large threat to Luffy and set the standard for other antagonists like Doflamingo to be just as good.

[@patricknez7258]

Well said Croc is awesome

[@Azlon07]

Crocodile was basically a Bond villian, and a very good one at that.

[@user-ft8hd9cq4k]

True

[@goazer2]

Having an extra pair of officer agents just to guard the bomb was shear brilliance.

[@rowboatcop4451]

Crocodile has that effect that people looking back on the series may mistakenly say that he's not that special of a villain, but its because they forget that he's the one that DEFINED what a great One Piece villian is, there was no one like him before him, and the greats that came after took his template and made improvements

[@ElPsySneak]

I wouldnt say improvements. He still is by far the best at what he does. Enel, Doffy and Kaido all had something going for them but none of them were as good as being an antagonist as Crocodile

[@Kaisona2017]

Didn’t matter what the good guys did. He was always one step ahead of them, until he was finally defeated. No other villain comes close to that feeling, aside from maybe Doflamingo.

[@lewisaino]

​@@Kaisona2017The 1st True Hurdle

[@veruskatorres9276]

​​@@Kaisona2017no even Doffy he never had back up plans, after Sugar felt so did all his scheme and he was never close of defeating Luffy. Doffy is only charismatic same thing that Crocodile is, but only Croc was the one that possesed a big threat in his own arc

[@Kaisona2017]

@@veruskatorres9276 Untrue. Doffy had plenty of backup plans during his arc. He created a birdcage to cause chaos, and started a game to turn the citizens against Luffy and the others. After that. he sent a string clone to attack Luffy and Law. Then he made Bellamy fight Luffy, to force an ultimatum on Luffy. Then, he started closing the Birdcage, to destroy everything.

[@HovektheArtist]

Crocoboy is still my favorite villain, and the fact hes stuck around just as much as buggy is amazing, hes never stopped being this force

[@readcatcher5480]

To be fair: Crocodile got at some point in the way of everybody at Marinefort. Dude wanted to 1v1 Whitebeard from the start, clashed with Mihawk etc.

[@gamezone2996]

Also straight up attacked Akainu

[@Lyu-Phy]

And then he spat on the marines and Doflamingo as well. Crocodile is the definition of not giving a damn.

[@Sweet_Karma]

This was definitely Oda way of saying Crocodile has been training and is up there with the best of them. Crocodile fought the most people (heavy hitters) in Marinefold by far

I think he is a secret revolutionary. He went so far undercover to help the RA get the weapon in Alabasta based on what they knew.

[@normalmark2214]

​@@josephwiessner1558 i don't see it because, maybe he was but after he done in alabasta he 100% not

[@Izosu69]

@@josephwiessner1558 Great Possibility too considering they probably didn't entirely trust Nico Robin at that time so they had Crocodile act as a watch-dog for her actions. And Dragon, after finding out that Nico Robin joined forces with Luffy, his son, it concluded that Nico Robin is not so bad after all especially after that Impel Down arc, so during the timeskip the revolutionary army invited Nico Robin. Sorry for my bad english, not my 1st language.

[@Sweet_Karma]

I think he is either a former slave saved by the Revolutionary Army and is a secret associate or he's the maternal uncle of Luffy (Luffy's mum's brother). Oda has stated out of all the characters in OP a young Crocodile was the most similar to Luffy personality wise. Also, the SBS of a young Crocodile reading a newspaper looks suspiciously similar to Luffy just a cooler/darker version, so I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that Crocodile was Luffy's uncle on his mother's side

[@Sweet_Karma]

​@josephwiessner1558 Crocodile is the mastermind behind Cross Guild, it's his brain child and seeing how he approached Mihawk and turned down Doffy gives us a lot of insight into the kind of company he likes to keep, so I can see him and Dragon sharing similar interests, especially since Crocodile said he doesn't like seeing the world government win during Marinefold

[@MarkTheShadow]

Ah yes. The early Villain that started the trend of Luffy losing first then get endless rematch opportunities 😂

[@classydays43]

All the villains he seemed to have fought like that tend to have fallen hard after their own great defeat. Seeing Luffy get back up again would be pretty striking for each one of them.

[@Rubberman202]

There's a reason why Crocodile remains one of the most popular One Piece characters even to this day, he left a REALLY good first impression! For me, what I love most about Crocodile as a villain is how he has so many "oh, you bastard!" moments but is crafty enough to not only let them interfere with his plans, but even outright ties them into his plans. The most notable example of this is the whole bomb thing, Crocodile tells Vivi about it not expecting her to actually find it, but if she somehow does, the bomb is on a timer and is too heavy to actually move it a safe distance away before it goes off. On top of Crocodile just giving Vivi and the Straw Hat Pirates false hope that they could actually do something about this, it helps keep them distracted while he goes to the crypt and has Robin read the Poneglyphs. Of course, Pell does end up showing up and carrying the bomb away, seemingly sacrificing himself in the process, but I view that as a "evil cannot comprehend good" moment; he didn't account for that because to him, why would anyone throw away their life for someone else. This actually feeds into Crocodile's lack of trust he has for anyone, now that I think about it. See, Crocodile is such a fascinating and layered character, which is impressive considering we don't know Crocodile's backstory or why he is the way he is now, and that helps with his popularity, I feel. Definitely an A-Class villain, in my opinion at least.

[@Gummypuss]

Crocodile is legit still probably my favorite villain in one piece his style his laugh he’s awesome and very evil. The sub laugh for him is cold.

[@ARandomGuy24]

Making a sand hour glass then saying do whatever you want for 3 minutes then I'll stop playing and kill you is one of the coldest things in One Piece.

[@bdeamon1]

I know it's common shonan trope, but I like how Luffy kind of baits his tougher or smarter opponents into endurance matches. Like he is out thinking them in his own way

“A hero is a hero but everyone loves a good villain.” -Ferb Fletcher

[@naganut9718]

Crocodile and Moria have some similarities. Both have mighty fine dreams and have the potential to do so, but got humbled by an old Rocks member. The difference is that Crocodile changes his dreams adjacent to it in a more intelligent way while improve upon his mistakes, meanwhile Moria's way is pure laziness, so he will never suffer through losing the people he cared about again

[@mohamedzoulali5755]

3:00 Joseph: SHIIIIZZAAAAAAAAA NOOOOOOOOOOOO, I TOLD YOU TO EAT THE GAS-GAS FRUIT.

I started watching One Piece on a Catalan TV channel. At that time, they eventually stopped airing it after Crocodile defeated Luffy for the first time. As a kid, I spent a long time believing that Crocodile was such a badass that he actually defeated the main character and ended the show for good right then and there. Even after growing up and understanding the truth, I've never been able to shake off the brutal impression Crocodile left on me.

[@y-wing7654]

Hi Liam, just wanted to mention for the Lucci video (great series already!) - I think he just can’t be analyzed in that way without putting spotlight Spandam. Those two combined are my fav One Piece Arc antagonists because they represent two total different sides of the same coin!

[@shadowki5687]

Crocodile is that serious villain they introduce to change the tone for a series, he's methodical, he's cunning, he's treated and displayed as a hill for the strawhats to overcome. Another example of this type of character is Thawn in the *Star Wars rebels* everytime he fought the rebels, he overcame them due to his strategy and cunning and because of his ruthlessness and ability to predict their actions he was able to rob them of any meaningful victory

[@calebmaybin6896]

Kuro was underrated: he drove Luffy to the point of exhaustion (and blood loss) and he was self-admitted out of practice yet still managed to troll him mid-battle.

[@anandkarthik9072]

I mean, after crocodile, kuro pales too much. Planning wise crocodile is way better. But yeah, kuro was decent

[@saparapatepete]

I think Kuro was an early prototype for villains that are more cunning like Crocodile or Donflamingo

[@calebmaybin6896]

@@saparapatepete East Blue in general was foreshadowing the Grand Line: Captain Axe-Hand Morgan and Nezumi represented Corrupted Marines, Buggy Represented Opposing Devil Fruits, Kuro was the foreshadowing of Superhuman Techniques aka the Six Powers, Don Krieg was the poster child of relying on tricks and numbers and even despite how strong he was he was insignificant in the Grand Line, Arlong and the Fishmen represented other races/cultures and their struggles/prejudices, and Loguetown was the epic finale of crossovers that resulted in lore drops, info, and future allies/enemies.

[@roger_towny_jr]

Doflamingo is NOT a more effective villain than Crocodile, strictly for one specific reason: Zero Tension Never once, in the entire Dressrosa arc (and that's a long @$$ arc) do I ever feel like Luffy is going to lose to Doffy. The second Luffy puts up his foot to protect Law and take over that fight, all tension evaporates as I'm just waiting for Luffy to put the final nail in Doffy's coffin. Crocodile was a threat that I honestly did not know how Luffy would overcome. Even after he discovered Croc's weakness to water, it seemed like he was able to absorb it anyway, and Luffy legitimately almost dies THREE TIMES fighting him. It was an absolute nail-biting conclusion. The same cannot be said for his fight with Doffy. At that point in the story, Luffy had already defeated two warlords, and that was BEFORE his two years of training with Reyleigh, and since we had yet to see him go all out and be pushed to his limits since the time skip, I knew we were just waiting for him to pull whatever new movement had in his arsenal and waist his @$$, which is exactly what happened. I know Oda tried REALLY hard to still make Doffy seem like a threat by introducing "awakened Devil Fruit powers" (I'm sorry, it STILL sounds corny to me) and having Luffy's haki run out, but it all just comes across superfluous padding that unessesarily drags the fight out even longer than it needed to be, and it was already long as heck.

[@bulbus7062]

I “liked” Crocodile because he was so cruel; anytime he offered someone a choice or a chance, there was always a hook buried in it, some trick that meant to guarantee the worst possible outcome. It wasn’t just that he was so calculating, it was that he was so cruel while doing so.

Crcodile coming out of Impel Down in his clothes shows that its not just an outfit for him. It’s more akin to a uniform, a statement that he is above you simply by what he wears. A General isn’t a General without his uniform, and just by looking at him does he make this statement.

Croco boy is still one of my favorite villains that “Mugiwara” in Impel Down…. Plus I see him as the first villain that sets up how crazy BB will be. Crocodile and Doffy were schemers who plans would have worked if not for being put on Luffys direct path by a princess (Vivi and Law).

I really cannot express how much I love that decision

[@hellpenguin3031]

I want to say that Alabasta is probably what set the tone for what One Piece is in general. Up until that point, it was mostly a villain of the week sort of thing. The heroes show up, beat the villain, and move on to the next one. And to be fair, that was because it was still in the stage of gathering and building up it's heroes first. But Alabasta is when the story shifted from plucky pirates leading a carefree life of adventure, to all the grand tales you see after. Political intrigue, multiple battles, maps to keep track of the events, large scale armies, and the heroes breaking into a weight class that can start making an impact on the world at large. This became the format for most of the major arcs going forward.

Crocodile is the Frieza of the One Piece world. He starts off as the big bad that must be taken down no matter what.

I'd like to disagree a bit on your line "Villain's are done after being defeated by Luffy" Buggy - Made a Warlord, then a Yonko Wapol - Made a New Metal Alloy which lead to him becoming King Again, then saves Vivi Crocodile - A Leader of Cross Guild Caesar - Joins up with Bege, then Creates New Madds with Judge Katakuri - New Captain of the Big Mom Pirates Moria - Challenged and Emperor of the Sea for his Nakama Lucci - Currently Fighting Zoro as a reinstated CP0 Bon Clay - Best Buddy Now No Longer Active but may come back: Doflamingo (In person for now) Big Mom (Probably Survived Volcano) No longer Active, Morgans, Kuro, Arlong, Krieg, Hody, Kaido, Jack, So it's about 50/50, but many of the main antagonists end up picking themselves back up.

I've always preached that Croc had Luffy dead to rights 3 times and got done obviously by plot armor

Imagine explaining to Alabasta Crocodile that Luffy kid was about to start knocking down shichibikai like bowling pins before becoming a Yonkou in around 5 years.

Sir Crocodile is PERFECT as a villain. His awesome design, and his power combined with his extreme intelligence, and how much of a threat he posed to the heroes were what inspired me to write Toshineko, my villain character you see in my profile picture.

Crocodile knows about the battleship, not the "ancient weapon". He got mixed information and half truths. The government would be mad because it's already meantioned it was a COUNTER, meaning it's from the WG side and now the Ancient Kingdom, that's how we know.

my favorite crocodile moment was his final beatdown in the anime where they used dvorak's new world symphony. It's just unique and makes crocodile stand out even more and marks a pivotal moment in the story. like if luffy can surpass crocodile, there isn't a single thing that can stop him.

Crocodile vs Luffy was an excellent example of the how an experienced chess player can get got by a novice. So many plans accounting for EVERYTHING except the wild card that is the "winging it" mentality.
