Rate this anime day 5: One Piece

[Days of Future Piff]

U right about that, dbz got less suspenseful as the show went on, but I know that it’s that type of show, that’s why I think it did so well in America and it was such perfect timing it’s unbelievable.

That was really the first anime that came out and got popular right when Cartoon Network was getting popular, and it fit in with action cartoons very well. I still find it difficult to say dbz is an anime because it’s not emotional like that and reminds me of action heroes lol.

Anyway, how long you think it’ll take someone to watch one piece from beginning til now? Last time I saw anything one piece, luffy was fighting that nikka with the metal teeth that liked candy or some shyt, and I saw that because YouTube showed me it.

What are they up to now?

Right now the Straw Hats are on an island called Wano. A few arcs back they met Kin'e'mon and Momonosuke, Raizo and Kanjuro. All four of them are ninjas/samurais from Wano who have enlisted Luffy's help to overthrow the corrupt ruler of Wano (who ousted Momonosuke's father). The problem is that Wano's ruler, Orochi, works for Kaido, one of the four pirate emperors (basically the 'final boss' pirates of the series).
On top of that, Luffy beat up Kaido's main underlings/partners Cesar Clown and Donflamingo in the previous couple of arcs beforehand.

Try to remember that feeling when the Z fighters fought Raditz, Nappa, and Vegeta, and then you found about about the Frieza and the Ginyu Force. That's what's happening right now in One Piece

As for catching up, I would just give it a try until they beat Arlong, or until Alabasta at the latest. If you're not feeling it by then, it's probably just not the series for you. OP is definitely one of those series where it's about the journey, not the destination. The manga >>>>> the anime, by the way.

Speaking of DBZ, Akira Toriyama and Oda teamed up to make a One Piece/DBZ crossover called Cross Epoch.

(It's obviously not canon, but it's still dope to see a crossover with the OG Toriyama involved)

Wait that dude is the final boss? They beat the Blackbeard nikka?

And does luffy get swole in that arc? (Pause)

I looked it up and he ain’t look skinny af anymore.

And I saw that arlong nikka, he’s a fukkin swordfish man lol, was he a problem?

That damingo nikka looked like a beast tho, (pause) and the lightning nikka too.

Blackbeard is still at large. They haven't fought him yet. They haven't had a rematch with Akainu, (from the Marines) yet either.
The Four Pirate Emperors are basically the strongest pirates in the OP-verse though. Blackbeard is one of them now. Kaido, Big Mom, and Shanks are the other three.
The artwork gets better, too.

There's another character that's affiliated with the World Government who's shaping up to be the real final boss of the whole thing, but they're getting closer to the endgame.

Not taking the Manga into account, this is a series that has run too long. Too much filler, but when the show has been great it has been GREAT. 8/10.

Look at the Namek arc, they fought the Ginyu force as a non-end boss fight. That was made out to be a huge deal and those characters kept appearing. Look at what has happened in Wano, nobody considers the Holdem fight as mattering at all. The fight vs the yokozuna? That shyt doesn't matter, Zoro fought a transforming fox that means nothing. Even named characters like Page One get 1 page fights. Up to this point the only purpose they serve is to show you their devil fruit. Hell the fights people are interested in between high tiers aren't even happening on panel now.

Look at the material that is causing one piece to trend on Twitter. Bounties, disbandment of the shichibukai, zoro getting a sword, Alabasta mystery, Rox crew, Sword, etc... Not the drawing of an actual fight. The hypest One Piece chapters aren't the fights themselves but everything that happens after them and the ramifications. Quick example, when awakening was introduced during the Doflamingo fight forums had more activity talking about what awakening would look like for other powers instead of discussing the current fight. Characters that had no chance of reappearing were being discussed just as much as the current fight. shyt was hilarious. People are discussing the politics of Aokiji supposedly leaving the marines and being a Blackbeard ally since the Sword reveal and not him actually fighting someone.

You get none of that secondary or tertiary discussion with DBZ. It's basically who stronger than who. Who can blow up the most planets simultaneously. The end.

@bolding this is nothing but semantics, a fight is still a fight
You talking about characters keep appearing like Holdem isnt gonna reapper. You think that was the last we saw of him. LOL

the off paneling is based off the fact the story is to big to capture every fight its that simple. Oda is dealing with more piece and characters than what Akira was dealing with. returning back to the comparsion of Wano and Namek as a example. Oda is handling with the SH-ninja-Mink-Samurai alliance which consist of hundreds and as of the latest thousands of characters. He can't show every skirmish everyone gets in.
Hence why the anime comes into play, because what they do is expound on those fights.(i.e Luffy and zoro vs the batman smilie skirmish)

Akira in Namek dealt with a small number of 3 characters - The z fighters(Gohan and Krillin) and Vegeta(not yet a z fighter). And the only one who was fighting(first half of the arc) was Vegeta and the only time he seriously fought someone was zarbon.
Even if you include other arcs of DB, Oda still deals with a bigger cast.

@2nd bolded no the hell it isnt, fights are very much into play with this series. when Luffy vs Dofla happened everyone was hyped especially when they G4 came into play and awakening. Same with Luffy vs Katakuri.

OP trending on twitter aint got nothing to do with what you said in the underlined bold. This series is about fighting/powers etc more than it is about anything else. Its 2nd only behind Adventure(which is the primary element of the show). Its simply because the series is popular(Worldwide popular) that big moments spill over into social media and trend. Same happens/will happen when there are fights.

And Powerlevel discussion is rampant among fans such as Zoro vs Sanji, Yonkou ranking, etc. Moment zoro got his sword, there was talk on if this makes the gap between him and Sanji bigger.

I'll say this again, just because the series doesnt solely focus on it 24/7 like DB. Doesn't make it any less a show that is about fights/action.

I

I don’t think op or any other anime would get me hyped like that.

I mean a story with little fights and more talking could be cool if you are really interested in the show itself, but dbz keeps you hype.

The show does not have ""little fights" its a adventure series, so its not gonna be constantly about them like DB which is a martial art show.

But it def has fights. and alot of them. IDK who nikkas in here are kidding like it isnt, first few arcs involve Luffy fighting a bunch of mfs to win over crewmates.(so yes there is fightig, alot of it)

Besides Exploring/adventuring the series focuses heavily on the main cast getting stronger(more powerful) and gaining new abilities. To be the best pirate crew that is and to achieve their own goal( like Zoro wanting to be the best swordsman, which he has to be the strongest to become it and defeat a certain character, and there is also this level and lore of the series of becoming a "Sword God")

The closest the show has come to a "super saiyan" moment is probably the Enies Lobby Arc with Zoro vs Kaku, Sanji vs Jyabura, Luffy's Gear Second powerup, Luffy vs Lucci, the Buster Call, everything blowing up, etc. The Marineford arc is pretty apocalyptic as well, but I can't say too much about that story without spoilers.


In One Piece, you'll get backstories for every member of the crew, and you get to see everybody shining and staying relevant to the plot. Characters from the earliest arcs will still be important and relevant years later. Major story arcs are foreshadowed hundreds of chapters in advance. Oda's level of planning is just on another level ( ) once you start really getting into One Piece.

what does "super saiyan" moment mean because if you talkin mid fight powerup, we have had that with Luffy gaining future sight, zoro and breathe of all things, and Asura. Usopp with Haki(not a fight but still)

and not all things is planned in this series, some things are stuff Oda just made up, and sometimes those new ideas are ones that can fit perfect in a hole to a plot point he had.

Add the fact that he changes his ideas around every so often, if he hears people predicts them. And def this series isnt that well "planned"

I've completely missed this thread and I'm mad lol. One piece is the greatest manga/anime ever written. Nothing else tops it.
