One Piece - I'm Gonna Be the Pirate King!

[HexFag]

That's cool and all, but honestly I enjoy seeing the progression of animation over the years. Like yeah, no one's denying episodes 517-onwards had a downgrade in quality, however it does act as a time capsule for where anime (Toei) was at the time in 2011. I would hate to see the original broadcast episodes just disappear like how they memoryholed Ivankov's original seiyuu as to allow previous physical media to just go out-of-print.

So like is this why Netflix is taking forever in getting episodes up? They already have up to 574, are they just going to quietly replace the footage in another update?

I partially disagree. While these episodes do show the history of Toei in 2011, it makes Post-TS One Piece a complete fucking slog to get through. There is no world where Dressrosa should have more episodes than chapters. Even if the changes were just fixing the horrendous pacing, it'd still be a net positive over the original episodes. Also One Pace exists which is a partial compromise where you get Toei's original animation, but with pacing that isn't awful.

Also these episodes aren't going to magically disappear from the aether just because the recuts exist, its fucking One Piece. It will be on pirate sites, torrent sites, and even more for a very long time.

Let’s just hope we can find more of those episodes with the style of Kaizoku fansubs back when 4Kids was a thing. Those bad boys hit like crack.

Turning all the background mooks into gormless blobs with frizzy hair has done wonders for making me emphasize with them. Its like I'm on the show every episode!

I'm sure they're all safe and sound somewhere. Or at least I hope they are and Gigguk didn't literally steal his footage of Kaizoku subs from Youtube videos like he stole the concept of his video from Otaking.

I'm at the wedding and this has been peak One Piece so far but, man, I kind off would rather have seen things actually go to plan then what it looks like we are getting so far.

Wait, so Big Mom's backstory was that she was always a spoiled brat? Well... I guess it makes sense. You know, Oda, you don't always have to show a backstory.

edit: Wait a second.... Oda... you cheeky bastard.

Big Mom actually has one of the most complicated, but well made back stories in the series. Her and Kaido along with Rocks is well built all things considered.

https://youtu.be/XRdNOizI0t8 It's moments like these that make me want to politisperg. I am just tired of the normie "its all illogical" and "its all about skin colour" especially considering that One Piece races are especially not defined by skin colour. I will say I like how One piece inverts what Hollywood would have done. Rather than haf Fishment be the internal victems and have humans be the villain, it's Fishmen that are criticsized for having a bad reaction to their persecution.

Trekking is compensating for being in an all-white town for the majority of his life. He’s adopted some Jay d legend/normie bullshit of leftist takes over the years.

Is Jay D Legend another youtuber and how is he compensating? It is common for people in gated communities like that to promote proggressvism and diversity which causes them to get a distorted view of the downsides of such ideals.

Cause he never harped on those certain things till 2020.

Yeah I actually talked about his virtue signal video he made at the time in another thread. As bad as Tekking may be I am starting to really hate Ohara because his discussions have basically degraded to making irrelevant theories and massive clickbait and not actually discussing the chapter in hand. He recently did a shipping video in which he literally ships Nami and Vivi together and uses raceswapped images of Viking figures. Grandline review is fine mut he is a mixer.

I’d argue that Hody Jones is a good villain because he’s just a dickish opportunist taking advantage of a bad situation. Everyone is working on a solution to the Fishman problem and he uses people feelings that not enough is being done to try to stage a coup.

Arlong actually got more depth in the arc, but he’s still a villain. He honestly is more pathetic because Arlong Park is literally him mixing childhood trauma and Fisher Tiger trauma.

The whole deal with the World Government hating fishmen is still an unknown as to why. It’s not entirely racial, but more Celestial Dragons viewing them as below their usual subjects.

I don't watch any One Piece Youtubers, they're all morons stating either the blatantly obvious or the blatantly insane, and their sole contribution is sponsoring theory cults to laugh at like ZKK and Raid Will Fail. The only reason I like One Piece Podcast is because they have enough clout to conduct interviews with animators and localizers and even have Stephen Paul as a regular fixture.

Those theories are the most low hanging fruit for saying " theories bad". Everybody listens to youtubers just to feel good about their own(possible) opinions. That's been going on. OPP views are plummeting, they barely get 600 views on YouTube compared to 8-10k years back.

Honestly, my thing about those YouTubers is that A lot of them have a confidence in theories that’ll probably be outdated by the next Oda break. And a lot of these guys hype up things like Usopp’s stories to Kaya coming true in a roundabout way or Or things like “Binks Sake” or a title like “Romance Dawn” for chapter 1 spoiling One Piece as the answers are hidden in plain sight. At least the thumbnails are dope.

My thing about all these theories is that for all the videos talking about figuring out what the Will of D is, or saying that Imu is a woman, or saying that Luffy will achieve a Gear 6, I think it’s VERY clear that all these things the theorists talk about are ONLY made by Oda to make sense when Luffy comes across these things, whether those things get through his thick head or not, regardless of whether or not he’ll give a shit (let’s be honest, it won’t get through and he probably won’t give a shit).

Edit: add Mr Morj to that list of theories as well.

i feel the same can be said about Okama Island. Not one character that is gay or okama is purely defined off just being that since they're written like any other character which is the point. Characters in One Piece are usually written to have their own morals and in cases for Fishman like Hody or Arlong the point is their hypocrisy.

saying that Luffy will achieve a Gear 6

I thought it was clear Gear 5 is his limit since it's his Awakened Devil Fruit lol.

It is clear but since that failed to be edgy enough, they are hedging their hopes on a Gear 6.
