Why Ennis Lobby Made You Cry

[@shanew2150]

Another important detail is Robin's actual clothing. Up til now, Robin wore mostly dark colors but they gradually became more pastel as the story went on. In this arc and Water 7, she jumps all the way to an all black leather jacket and boots, but underneath it is this cute, white, floral print, frilly blouse. A perfect physical representation of her true character at this point in the story. And Oda doesn't immediately throw her back into pastel colors after her rescue. Her color scheme only becomes notably lighter in the New World, which can possibly symbolize her change over the timeskip and how much she missed and loved the crew.

[@Ohara-the-Fox]

nice find!

[@santi3256]

I personally don't like that, they even do fanservice on her. That's not how the character is

[@tuvillo]

This seems unintentional. It’s just a portion of Oda’s great shift for her from depth to boobs.

[@JLOGIAC]

Even details through clothing how awesome is that ? 😁

[@landey94grocks]

bruuuhh thank you for making me understand, i initially was pissed off of how robin is potrayed post time skip and now i understand why

[@grennbalze]

Theres also Robin’s reasoning for not wanting the Strawhats to rescue her. That when times get really tough they will abandon her. And this is something many people can relate to. Fear of rejection. And to have some kind of control, and avoid it when it comes, people self sabotage or do the rejecting themselves

[@mentalpopcorn2304]

Ohara literally talker about this in the video...

[@Jordie_42]

I can relate to that. In fact when I had a good thing I would self sabotage our relationship. If they got to know the real me theyll reject me so I took a short cut and broke it off myself. This has more to do with disliking myself. So to me this scene hits hard. I feel like im not alone. It gives me the strength to not be afraid

[@ramziahmed674]

Luffy understanded that her eneme was the world goverment so he he set war on the world goverment to which is why luffy waged war against them becuase know the enemies of Robins are the straw hats enemies

[@grennbalze]

@@ramziahmed674 im kind of saying the same thing as you, but he made the world government their enemy to erase that as a reason for not having her ask for their help

[@jamesklark6562]

It felt way to familiar to me in that regard tbh. When I got fired for being overworked and exhausted at the rear end of the pandemic my folks and what few friends I had abandoned me. Feels kinda hard to let people get close now because of it.

[@shimoricha]

my Favorite thing about this scene is the fact that Usopp (the most easily scared character in the group) literally declared war on the world under the command of Luffy without a single hesitation, he just says "roger that", pulled his slingshot, declared his attack, and hit the target with a single shot. Sogeking jokes incoming

[@henrypeters5291]

Not a joke, but the fact that he no longer wears a mask post time skip shows the growth of his character. He no longer needs to hide behind others to be brave.

[@drali230]

That’s was Sogeking Not Usopp They’re just friends It’s crazy how people still get confused smh

[@uzumakit5872]

Exactly.. That was first thought came when i watched the scene..

[@mrcuccob6386]

Usopp/Sogeking jokes are really close to becoming the One Piece equivalent of Nina jokes of the FMA fandom.

[@rodneylane952]

I think this scene, hell this entire arc, subtly comes full circle in Zou when Nekomamushi and Inuarashi tell Robin that dangerous people will be looking for her since she can read the poneglyphs and without missing a beat, Robin says that she'll be okay because she has strong friends who will protect her. It's such a small moment but it's so heartwarming.

[@ThePeda94]

And after reading the latest chapters we know exactly who those „dangerous people“ are

[@gregorypan]

@@ThePeda94 Oda doesn't stop delivering on this either. I always get annoyed when people say post-timeskip is where all the Straw Hats stop developing and it's just Luffy, because if anything the New World just doesn't stop dropping Straw Hat character development at every moment it can. Especially in Wano right now. Chapter 1005 is the perfect example of this. We get the role reversal of Sanji (who has just made a huge character change because of Whole Cake) trusting Robin for help, hugely broadcasting the character development of BOTH characters. Sanji's is relatively obvious, but Robin's heartfelt smile and thanking of Sanji for relying on her legit made me real-time flashback to CP9 arc. CP9 is where she finally lets herself trust people again, and where she finally finds real friends that she believes in. But while there are plenty of moments that show many of the Straw Hat's equal trust in Robin, nothing quite does it like Sanji, the overprotective starstruck white knight fully taking off his armor and letting her take the metaphorical hit instead. To Robin, this shows her that not only does she trust the crew, but that they implicitly trust her, which emotionally is just as important in a familial relationship. I know a lot of people complimented that chapter already, but I feel like it's the perfect culmination of Robin's relationship with her friends and a huge beat in the storytelling of Robin's arc.

[@cynthiapeters7230]

this statement made me cry

[@arcturus6925]

When Luffy says he understands Robins enemy I can’t help but think about that moment when Sabo “died” and Dadan said the world killed him I really wonder if that’s what Luffy was thinking about.

[@JaimeD.]

*Arcturus* Yeah, could be. Sabo sacrificed his freedom and dream to protect his brothers. Robin sacrificed her freedom and dream to protect her friends. This time, Luffy wasn't going to let it repeat again and was ready to die if it meant to save her alongside the rest WHO DO CARE. Awesome moment.

[@troillandford7679]

I love ohara for pointing out the juxtaposed panel between the strawhats and cp9. The Cp9 having a large institution behind their backs shows us how they are mere pawns to the Gorosei while the Strawhats having an "abyss" as their background tells the readers how free they are as pirates. This is further supported by the corporate attire the cp9 are wearing and the crew's casual clothing. However what makes this scene even better is its striking similarity to Whitebeard and Sengoku during Marineford. A panel showing Whitebeard and the great horizon behind him juxtaposed with Sengoku and the Navy HQ. DAMMIT ODA

[@ahmadmat2755]

Also one of Luffy’s leadership moments. Declaring the war on the government was necessary to show resolve that he is shouldering his crewmembers’ problem as if it was his own problem. As I remember in the early days of the Straw Hat crew when Nami ‘left’ the crew, what Zoro said was ‘let’s just find another navigator’. At the early days, the Straw Hats joined more like just for their own dreams and their own desire. While they do fight for each other, they still don’t have the deep trust and faith in each other like Luffy that made him refused to leave Cocoyashi village even at Nami’s behest. Fast forward a few sagas is the result of Luffy’s leadership. The fact is that he cultivated this spirit of fighting for your friends among his crew through example and other factors that now, not a single member of the Straw Hats flinched when Luffy made the decision that Robin’s enemies are now without u-turn their enemies too. All of them refused to leave Robin even at her repeatedly making it clear she wanted them to leave her, in contrast to Cocoyashi Village, where only Luffy insists on not leaving Nami.

[@razkable]

its interesting how both nami and robin are sorta bad at first and luffy legit both times gets into extra trouble by helping them...when he saved nami he did not care that it led to his bounty or being hunted by the gov. he was not sweating it and with robin he took it up a level he declared war on the world itself for robin...

[@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr]

@@razkable , Luffy isn’t a person that pretends to be a noble hero like Garp or Goku from Dragon Ball, so his reactions on him getting excited for a higher and higher bounty by fucking with the Marines and the World Government themselves makes complete sense because unlike Garp, Goku, Naruto, etc etc Luffy just doesn’t want to be exactly the same as White Beard, Roger, and Shiki, but he wants to surpass those people that came before him, and you see that clearly in MarineFord War in the manga perfectly because MarnieFord War in the manga was just Enies Lobby on steroids, and even though his older brother died he was still able to train with Rayleigh for 2 years to protect people like Law, Nico Robin, Sabo, and Eustass Kid.

Chapter 398 has two of the greatest moments side by side. Digging into shooting the flag a little deeper, we know Luffy didn't make that order thoughtlessly.

He knew exactly what it meant to shoot the World Government's flag and didn't even flinch.

[@jorjusmusic2303]

For me another amazing moment in Enies Lobby that fully adds up to this one, is Robin clinging on to the stairs with her teeth.

[@kyurei4478]

You really succeeded to honor this scene. If I had one criticism to make, it would be that it didn't speak enough about the personalities of the characters themselves and the duality that exists between Luffy and Robin. Luffy is a very candid, always excited and carefree character while Robin is his exact opposite, a very calm, reserved, intelligent and thoughtful person who doesn't reveal her feelings easily. Robin and Luffy are certainly the most opposed characters of the crew. This is also why this scene is so intense, because Robin is used to not reveal her feelings, and the reason why seeing her passionate at this moment is so impactful. This is why I think only Luffy, being as straightforward as he is, could help Robin to reveal what she really wanted. The duality between the two was at its peak during this scene and this is why I love it so much.

In my perspective, the robin scene works both ways, it is a message for Robin, it shows her that she is 100% part of the crew, but it works also for the reader/viewer, we feel the same way than Robin and we join the crew as a member, a Nakama.

Hi, *Ohara.* This moment truly cemented Nico Robin as one of the Straw Hats and as a friend. They LOVE her. They CARE for her. They want to PROTECT her. The late Jaguar D. Saul's final words came to fruition and got Robin out of the darkness that the WORLD put her in for 20 years. I loved her ever since I saw her in the anime the first time and...her whole early life was a real nightmare. And all the obstacles she passed on with holding the hope to one day meet people who can accept her and not be treated as a *burden.* This is another great scene and my personal favorite in One Piece.

[@abir9751]

I always think water 7 and ennies lobby as inseparable arcs. Water 7 was in my opinion the lowest point for the crew and they just build themselves up and delivered on ennies lobby. It was so hype when Straw Hats declared war on the world government.

[@thousandyardgavri2785]

Luffy's instinct is top tier. He knows deep inside, Robin, Nami, and Sanji wants to be rescued and Usopp truly wants to leave

[@Dontdoit_]

I cry every time at this scene even in this video

[@miriamthebestsubscriber1152]

OMG YES!!! 😭😭😭 the video if finally here 😭 and as always the analysis was just amazing 😭👏🏼 and personally, to me the silence of the crew in this scene has always spoken to me louder than anything else in this show. I feel like the straw hats all represent different struggles and personalities, so just about anyone can relate to atleast 1 crew member, and for me its Robin. I feel like I've yet to overcome the mental barriers I set on myself, and just showing the crew standarding there in full support, just felt inntimate even personal in a way. It was almost like seeing my happy beginning being played out before my eyes via this story. I think thats probably why this scene always hits home and is easily one of the most iconic scenes in OP 😭👏🏼 To me this and zoros scene are the most memorable ❤ and I mean that in the way that I see myself in robin, wanting to be accepted, and wishing to be more like zoro, by protecting what I've found with everything i have. OP honestly just teaches you so much without even knowing lol thats why i love this show so much ❤ Thank you ohara for the video, keep up the great work 🤗

[@SMc-1235]

I love your videos Ohara as much as I love to watch anime . Because to me your analytica videos and anime are inseparable🤝.

[@izarkio7403]

Your channel is truly underrated, keep up the good work, I love watching your videos !!

[@Ohara-the-Fox]

Glad you like them!

[@jacksonsantana8206]

I LITERALLY grabbed a cup of coffee to keep watching. That's HOW you made me connected to this video and excited about watching the rest of it after that's "cup of coffee" offer came out! Congratulations your intro in the video is amazing and SO true!

[@pomaimoikeha829]

The voice acting elevates the scene soooooooo much. So good

[@BaalFridge]

Are you gonna eventually do a video about mother caramel's picture and Big Mom's backstory? LinLin crying out for her mom makes me cry everytime.

[@mochiha2048]

i can't even stop crying while watching this video.. even after 10 years, the momories hit me hard everytime.. it's really my best arc till now

[@thebubus6484]

Dude yes! Ohara keep up the great work. Love your content

[@Felipe-oe5su]

This should be called “The best one piece moment revisited”

[@kenyangamer27]

Zoros nothing happened is the best for me 100%

[@stefansojka8747]

I guess it's a series

[@razkable]

@@kenyangamer27 thats zoro's best moment for sure

[@razkable]

i love my girl hinata from naruto a lot but when people say robin had a better more impactful story arc from a writing stand point, i say..yeah your probably right ..hard to argue....thats big praise coming from me a hinata stan...robin had a incredible backstory

[@theheavenlyfb4071]

"I want to live", it's just four words but they make me tear up every time.

[@scorpionsmackdownopbr442]

The fight with Rob Lucci being the first fight we weren’t sure Luffy could win!Sniper King shooting down the flag! Eines Lobby was one of the greatest arcs! Such great moments. Keep the series coming Ohara!

[@niks660097]

Robin screaming was so heart wrenching..

[@TheVega318]

"I want to live" cemented One Peice as my GOAT manga single handedly

[@prathapcharan]

There is also a scene when the strawhats are standing in front of robin. She feels the wind blown to her face as if the ocean itself is calling her.

[@akshay-rb1rh]

the best moment is saying goodbye to GoingMerry. it still make me 🥺 when I watch it

[@blueeyednick]

This is literally the best moment to revisit this part of the story. Something similar to the internal Strawhat crew conflicts in this arc is pretty much set to play out in Wano as well.

[@DawnofIsai]

The crazy thing is that there's 2 more possible scenes from this saga you could analyze. Enies Lobby truly is peak One Piece.

[@mashiro1679]

the silence and determination on the straw hats tell robin everything she needs to know. That they are completely in it with Luffy to save Robin.

[@naztaku6140]

luffy is the definition of a captain and a friend. He sticks by his crew and friend and he doesn't care if he has to go against the world to keep them safe. This dude has such a great outlook on life for just being a 19 year old kid. Broken and Torn apart he will fight for you once you mean something to him. And that's either as a friend or an enemy. What a guy

[@DavidMadrigalHernandez]

Ennis Lobby showed us Luffy at his strongest, motivation wise, and is accentuated further by the later Impel Down and Marineford Arcs. And it juxtaposes so well with the Post-War arc, where we see Luffy at his lowest point, broken and seemingly defeated. Ennis Lobby was necessary setup for what became Luffy’s toughest challenge: facing failure head on.

[@arv9915]

Really a great job Ohara. I think this is my favourite moment in One Piece, that cemented Robin as one of my favourite characters and the Water 7/ Enies Lobby Saga as my favourite ( and then there are the fights, usopp's speech and the going merry😭) There are a lot of iconic moments in one piece but this is always the first that comes in my mind. It' s just a great work of writing for the development of the characters and the story ( the mugiwara vs the world for a friend , simply beautiful). Thanks for this great video

[@CamHeComic]

I think this single scene is one of the best examples of voice acting I've seen. And that's coming from a dub watcher. Even the english dub, carries the immense and emotional warfare that goes on in all of the characters, and gives me chills every time.

[@zophielm2362]

Me starting my day by crying all through this vid. This scene is so good that even the analysis of it has me bawling.

[@CPCisCringe]

Never realized the mask symbolism. Dude thanks! Also, I find this stand off to be a parallel to the end of the series. Franky and Robin both hold the "blueprints" (somewhat literally XD) to the things that will change the world. It may depict Luffy's motivation to change the world government at Raftail, to save his Nakama.

[@kgangadhar5389]

You hit a jackpot when you decided to do an analysis of the Iconic moments !!
