    The moment when Nami says she can't hate him because he's a fishmen is beautiful. He realises that he did it. He did what Fisher Tiger wanted. Fishmen are not hated by at least one human, and a human that was opressed horribly by a fishman. He cries, probably remembers Fisher Tiger and i think that's when he knew he would accept if Luffy would ask him to join.

    I'm a karateka, so I naturally gravitate towards martial artists in manga, but even as people criticised him for being a bad character and a bad fit for the Straw Hats, I could see what was going on - Oda essentially built Jinbe "backwards", giving us his major conflicts and backstory before he's even really asked to join the crew, so even if he's absent for most of the time due to the Big Mom-related issues, he's basically already carved his place in the crew by the time he finally joins them in full.

      If you like martial artist type characters you should check out Undead Unluck. Quite a few prominent martial artist type characters. I'm also happy to say I wasn't one of those people that thought he'd be a bad fit and you're right. Jinbe was kinda written backwards. The problems he faces was already resolved by the time he joined. Jinbe was always the type to think of others before himself, similar to Vivi and now that he didn't have the burden on his shoulders anymore he mellowed out.

    Jinbe’s respect for luffy is charming and also funny. Jinbe’s a former warlord, years of experience, a genuine threat, yet he looks at luffy, lovable goof ball he is, and wishes to be on his crew. He sees what a lot of others see, luffy has a one of kind spirit and charisma that can’t help but draw people in. Seeing luffy so happy he jumped and gave jinbe a hug when he came back (officially) was so wholesome like he has another father figure

  • @deucesommerfeld1248
    @deucesommerfeld1248 Před 7 měsíci +234

    The thing with Jinbe that I love the most, is the connections and similarities he shares with many of the strawhats. Like Brook, he shoulders an entire world's worth of burdens on his shoulder, both him and Chopper have suffered at the hands of humans, Franky and Jinbe hated pirates and were jaded by the brutality of the world government, Zoro and Jinbe's determination to push through grief via their love for their captain and the ones who spurned them on, the love and acceptance from Nami which, by the way, is a MASSIVE stepping stone. She could have blamed him, hated him, PUNCHED HIM and he would have accepted it. But she forgave and she loved him because of his kindness and loyalty to Luffy. And then there's Sanji, and both of these guys are willing to risk EVERYTHING, putting their life on the line to prove themselves and live up to their aspirations. Luffy truly is the Pirate King, and Jinbe will forever be the Helmsman of the Thousand Sunny.
    I personally would love to see you cover a Blackbeard video next and the mirrors between him and Luffy.

    Jinbe is one of my favorite characters in general, he’s so powerful and serious but the moment he’s with the straw hats he’s a stress dad trying to keep his kids safe. The scene of him telling the Sun Pirates about Luffy is so adorable! The way they made him realise that he has already adopted Luffy is hilarious, and honestly I couldn’t help to tear up a little.
    I honestly wasn’t expecting to love him so much when I started the show, but now he has his own little special place in my heart with Brook

  • @jeffreymeehan3567
    @jeffreymeehan3567 Před 7 měsíci +136

    Jinbei is an amazing character. He is probably the closest thing to am actual tactician and strategist the Strawhats have, and is probably one of the few people Luffy will actually listen to, even if he already has his mind and heart set on doing the opposite. His resolve and steadfastness are unparalleled (the man stood his ground against the full might of Big Mom and called her a "mere emperor of the sea" to her face with not an ounce of fear or doubt).
    But I think the thing I love about him the most is that he is still incredibly humble and open to new things. And this is played up to hillarious effect when he takes on the role of the most "junior" member of the Strawhats, deferring completely to how the rest of the crew "does things" and trying to take that to heart when, first, this man has more experience being a pirate that probably the rest of the Strawhats combined, except Brook, and second the way the Strawhats "do things" is pretty much barely directed (not even controlled) chaos and just flying by the collective seat of their pants. Watching him see the Strawhats do something just bonkers and Jimbei going "well, that's really odd, but if that's the way they do it on thus crew then I'll strive to do just that," especially when Robin, being the absolute troll that she is, just affirms it, is pretty much comedic gold.

But watching him through Fishman Island and THEN his speech at WCI is just... UGH I CAN'T!! He's just so cool and his development has been such a ride.

    Jinbe is like the wise honorable father figure of the crew. He always keeps his word and has sacrificed much of his life for the sake of others. His former crew knew that and respected him immensely and when he wanted to join the Straw Hats they encouraged him to do so. The symbolism of his blood running through Luffy's veins really cemented his bond with Luffy. And that no matter our differences we all bleed the same blood. Jinbe has been in my top 5 favorite One Piece characters forever. Can't think of one negative thing about him. Oda really flexed his writing genius once again with Jinbe.

    Jinbe... This fishy Boii has a really deep impact on me. When i was still watching the anime (swapped to manga after Fishman Island) and Jinbe was first shown in Impel Down, i was instantly in love. This big boy became my favourite character in the moment where he called the whalesharks and as i grew older and matured I understood his motives and values. I fell in love even more. The moment on Fishman Island, where he fought Luffy and told him that one day he would join the crew, i felt a tear dropping from my eye. I love this big boy so much. I was so incredibly happy, when he finally greeted the crew as a full fleshed out member of the strawhats. His loyalty to his friends, his sense of duty, his goddamn beauty on the inside and outside. If every person had a Jinbe as his friend, this world would be a better place.

    My favorite character in the series, I’ve been waiting for this video for quite some time and it didn’t disappoint. His relationship with luffy is what sold me the character he is, him being so willing to go this far for luffy was amazing and his sense of honour was just the icing on the cake.Despite him not even being the “protagonist” of his own flashback (fisher tiger is) you can feel how deeply he’s affected and I really cannot wait to see him reunite with Koala. His speech for luffy is also one of favorite speech in all anime/manga so that definitely helps given how much that can be related to our life, not just in terms of the death of someone dear but in our accomplishments and failures

    There’s no man like Jimbe! I love him so much 😭 he just hits differently for so many reasons
    Also his relationship with Robin is adorable idk why like i think it’s cute that the person he like ‘instantly’ connected with besides Luffy and Nami is the person who had also spent time with Koala i can’t wait for all three of them to meet again

    I always liked Jimbe from when we first meet him in Impel Down, because he quickly proved to be one of the realest dudes in the entire series. The fact that one of the first things Jimbe does when he meets Nami is make it clear to her on no uncertain terms that he accepts full responsibility for Arlong and the things he did was what had made him one of my favorites.

    Having been though grief and guilt, I have always loved him. To the point that seeing again that moment with Nami has brought me to tears.
    A wonderfully written character that acts with simplicity and humility in front of every situation and makes someone that has struggled with loss, guilt and isolation feels represented.

    I think considering the rest of the star hats is still actively in survival mood because of trauma or have only recently started healing, they might not have been able to console Luffy when he needed it. It was such a complex situation because Luffy is suuuuch a strong person, emotionally and mentally as well a physically. And all of the straw hats have leaned on Luffy and he’s always been a pillar of strong support. But when a person like that goes through something so heartbreaking and ends up so completely broken … people don’t know what to do with that. Some people don’t even try to help? But I know the straw hats would help but they wouldn’t have been able to comfort and console him like he needed. The perfection of Jinbe being there is that he’s older wiser and incredibly mature in emotional ways. He can fully understand the depth of Luffys pain and figures out what he needs and becomes his pillar of support. So heartbreaking but so perfect 🥹

  • @jordanjackson4840
    @jordanjackson4840 Před 7 měsíci +6

    From the moment Jinbe was introduced, he was a home run with the fans but what really sold me on him joining the Straw hats was the moment Ace died and Luffy’s mind collapsed into despair. Jinbe immediately went into protection mode and fought tooth and nail, nearly dying in the process of getting Luffy out and away from the Battle of Marineford. He did all of that for someone he hardly knew but he did it anyway with no regard for himself. Completely selfless and a worthy addition to the Straw Hats.

    Jinbei was Luffy's knight in shining armour during Marineford and he delivered a reality check that hit harder than any physical attack.
    I can see a possible clash between him and Sanji it'll definitely be interesting to see the chemistry between the two.

    I'm sure you're not gonna read my comment, but I must say, never in my life have I searched something on the internet for so long and being so satisfied with finding it - your channel. I started reading the One Piece manga and watching the anime at the start of this year, and for months and months I've searched for some channel that did what I wanted to see - in depth character analysis. One Piece is the most diverse, well-rounded media I've ever seen. And your videos helped me to love it more. The way you encapsulated each StrawHat Journey in each of your videos is pure gold. Please keep up the good work!

    YES!!! THIS IS HOW YOU WRITE A FANTASY RACE!!!! This story absolutely resonated with me as a black person in a system and a country built on black suffering. It so often feels like there is no hope for us; we can’t change the system from the inside, racism is how the world works, and we still have hope beyond this. Jinbe still has hope even after learning the same things we have had to, he still believes in change. He doesn’t spare humans to be a model minority he does it because he knows its the right thing and he will do the right thing. HES BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH PAIN AND LOSS BUT HE FIGHTS ON I AM TRYING NOT TO CRY IN PUBLIC RIGHT NOW

  • @mikebearthegamer1365

    When I was introduced to jinbe, I was already spoiled that he would join the crew, but I didn't really believe until the moment he saved luffy's soul at the end of marineford. That was when I went "Oh yeah, he's nakama. No doubt in my mind."

  • @chowrites6179
    @chowrites6179 Před 7 měsíci +3

    As a man in his 30s I really connected with Jimbe. I've made mistakes, been hateful, lost loved ones, and have feltI have no hope and wanted to give up like Luffy did after losing Ace. Hearing him ask Luffy what he has left reminds me of scripture where it says to "count your blessings" has helped me a lot and I've grown much. Now as a father I feel closer to passing on similar teachings to my own children.

    I really loved when Luffy asked him to join his crew, coz Luffy had by then known Jinbe for a long time, and known his as self-powerful, even a Captain, but when Luffy learned who he really is, when Luffy saw him as an equal, is when he asked him to join the crew, and that again retroactively enforces how powerful his connection to his crew really is
    (edit) Luffy doesn't ask you to join his crew because of what you are, but because of who you are (except for Brook, but that worked itself out). He has always seen each of his crew as his equals, not his minions

He's such a respectable and reassuring character to have in the story, and I'm glad that he's FINALLY here to stay! Wonderful job Melon! :D

  • @Takisan111
    @Takisan111 Před 7 měsíci +3

    My favorite Straw Hat flipped often for a long time between Luffy and Usopp. That changed when Jinbe joined the crew. The moment that got me was when he was the only person that stayed behind to eat the restaurant owners fancy Wano cooking while everyone else was out partying at the festival. It was such a small moment but it made me realize just how kind he really is. In hindsight it might also have been him getting to do something that most fishmen aren't privileged enough to do but I don't care, he's a still kindhearted fish uncle and I love him ❤
    And yes, him being hot also helps.

  • @salvadorsalgado5212
    @salvadorsalgado5212 Před 7 měsíci +3

    What a beautiful analysis on such an underrated character. I love Jinbei with all my heart (as well as all the strawhats, they're my favorite characters in the series without a doubt) and his story makes me so emotional, like Captain America's ending in Endgame or Spiderman in many of his stories, but even harder cuz it's One Piece and One piece is my drug of choice. He's the noble warrior that dedicates his entire life and existence to others, to protect and defend the innocent, to justice and freedom, but in the process shackles himself and denies himself of his own happiness, who puts his dreams aside for the sake of others, who even give's up on love for it, to see him finally have the chance to live for himself and to be happy, even tho he's so god damm noble that everyone around him, all the people he was fighting for, actually had to insist to him to do it for like 75 arcs.
    I know people like that, they're so noble that they take too many burdens upon their shoulders, they give up on their lives to take care of everyone else, when they, more than anyone else in the world, deserve to be happy and to pursue their dreams, to focus on themselves and their own happiness as well. That to me is such a beautiful and underrated lesson Jinbei teaches us.
    I love finding new One Piece creators on youtube with these types of analysis, it's so great to see so many amazing and different perspectives on this beautiful series and it's so fun to be able to talk about my favorite story ever. Now i want to watch the rest of your videos!

    Jimbei is my all time favorite straw hat. Even above Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji.
    He's got impeccable vibes, he's a fantastic supporting character, and he doesn't need a huge character arc since he's coming out of retirement as an adventurer, rather than setting off on his journey of self-discovery like most of the crew. He's got great chemistry with Robin, he's totally the dad of the crew, and he's genuinely powerful without overshadowing the crew.

    I'd love to see a full description/analysis of Fishman Island as an arc. Many people see it as Oda showing how strong the Straw Hats are but there's a super interesting Martin Luther King/Malcom X relationship/allegory shown through Otohime and Fisher Tiger. Not to mention it was great for Jimbei's character plus the Celestial Dragon who is shown kindness from the fishmen and ends up being more humble as a result, even knocking Saint Charlos on his ass in one of the most satisfying moments in One Piece History. I'd love to see a full video about all of it, it's an underrated arc

  • @Killagoose77
    @Killagoose77 Před 7 měsíci +4

    I remember excitedly reading the chapter Luffy asks Jinbe to join, only for next week to be saddened I would have to wait. Took hundreds of chapter and so many years, but it was worth the wait. I would say I'm still a major Jinbestan, and he's one of the best additions to the crew, definitely one of my top SH crew members. I think an interesting point of discussion is his relationship to Sanji. All their moments are brief, but I find it interesting Sanji has a bit of a harsher outlook towards him, even if it's played often for comedy. Even without Nami being involved, it's been observed, and it's played up again when his bounty is higher than Sanji's. Given how Jinbe is supposed to be the true patriarchal dad figure of the Straw HT crew per Oda's words, and Sanji's habit of butting heads with both his adoptive and biological fathers, it can even point to his brashness coming off as a weird sort of acceptance. Either way, I definitely want more and more moments between him and the other crew members. He deserves his time to shine with them.
