    19 re-edits later, and I am finally able to post this video! Sorry for the long wait. Apparently, Toei really doesn't like me. There are some openings that could not be saved audio-wise, so I had to replace the original songs with 8-bit renditions. The 8-bit creators of the 4 affected songs are credited both in the video itself as well as in the description.

Also, I appreciate that you made the effort to replace the copyright-issue songs instead of just removing those sections of the video entirely. Two of those songs ("We Fight Together" and "Hope") are two of my favorite openings so I'm always a bit sad when reactors cut them out of the videos for copyright reasons.

    From the top of my head, important/recurring characters amount to about 142 characters.
    A lot of them come back but it's rare for them to show up, or it's foreshadowed that they will have a role in the future, that's why there's so many.
    There are about 1200+ named characters currently.

    Since this is about pirates, the fact that most of the enemies are marines and rival pirates.
    But, there's two other pirate tiers to know about: Seven Warlords and Pirate Emperors.
    The Seven Warlords are 7 pirate captains that have formed a truce with the marines/world government. The world government ignores their crimes in return for the warlords agreeing to be on call when they need their power in combat.
    And the four Pirate Emperors are the four pirate captains that are the closest to obtaining the One Piece that Gol D. Rodger hid. The current arc involves this level of opposition. So, though the series is ongoing, it's clearly in the later ends of the story.

    The base form of Chopper, the deer, is just a plain old reindeer with a blue nose, although he seldom adopts that form in the series. He most commonly stays in his small bipedal form when he doesn't need the physical benefits of one of his many other hybrid forms. He's basically a werewolf, but instead of a wolf its a deer, and instead of a man turning into a wolf-hybrid, hes a deer that turns into a man-hybrid.

I can't count how many times I cried or was amazed... or fooled 😃. also remember how I was wondering who is who in the story and how with time things started to become clear. not all of them yet but anyway. it's so amazing. this kids story makes you think a lot and want to find the answers to so many questions.

Often times a character will appear in the opening as a way of nostalgia or because they have impacted/caused what is currently happening or is anticipated/alluded to in the future. Some of the characters shown in the first opening have not even come face to face with Luffy yet.

    For Robin, her power can work on anything she sees, both living and non-living, to grow copies of her body from. But, this comes at the cost that a small percentage of damage to those duplicates get transferred to the original, but only a small percentage.

      also it doesn't stop at her limbs but all her body parts (like eyes etc..), she can grow wings (and horns), clone herself (and all of that either in normal or giant size version). But she can only make them on hard materials (except on one called "sea stones").And her ability is not limited to what she sees because she can create thing at place she can't see if it's within a certain range from her.

    Just to forewarn, except for the G8 arc, many of the filler arcs are looked down on, especially the earlier ones.

    Luffy can stretch because he ate a devil fruit. A devil fruit is a fruit, that gives you powers but makes the sea hate you, by removing your ability to float and swim.
