16:46 I said it under your last view reactions and I will say it one last time... Pudgey, you would be a great Nico Robin, or Viola. There is still time for you to join the crew! 😊
I wasn't expecting for Pudgey in a wanted poster😂 P.S. Why does Spartan have an accent for reaction and another accent for comments after the video ? 🤔
So true, I am actually glad this show happened, because I always turned One Piece down because of the humor. The only way I can describe the humor sometimes, is way too much. Which for some people that works but to me it doesn't. I just saw it as a silly anime with no end. So I never got why it was so popular, until I saw the Netflix show and now I get it. Yeah, it is silly, but it has so much heart.
@@farrex0 a little girl eats a fruit out of starvation that forces her to smile and laugh for the rest of her life. They execute her farther in front of her and all she can do is smile and laugh. You can think this story is all fun and games one minute, and then it hits you with something like this the next.
Gosh I swear every new time I watch the Nami scene. Just like the Sanji scene and Shanks giving his hat.... I just cry more my 40th time then I did my first. The stories are soooooo good.
There's a reason why One Piece is the best-selling manga of all time and even surpasses Batman and Spiderman comic sales. Oda is acknowledged as one of the top 10 best-selling fiction authors next to J. K. Rowling for "Harry Potter" and others.
Slightly disingenuous comment. Sure the overall volume sales are highest, but it is due to the high volume number, per volume there are quite a few manga ahead one piece, dragon ball for example has still sold more per volume, so did slam dunk, demon slayer and devilman. This means that likely more people read these mangas than one piece, because it all goes back to the fact that one piece is a continuous story with 100+ volumes which drives the overall sales number. This is quite rare for a manga, there are only few that are continuous stories for this long, has this many chapters and volumes. So one piece is not the most read manga, let alone book and comparing it to harry potter who's first book sold 120+ mil is not accurate.
@@defenceforce1989 why disingenuous? why not accurate? what I said is literally a fact. Top 10 best-selling fiction authors, fact. Best-selling manga of all time, fact. It's not my opinion, it's just a fact. One Piece still managed to publish its continuous story until today is an achievement in itself while other manga stopped publishing their volumes. As you said, "quite rare for a manga, there are only few that are continuous stories for this long, has this many chapters and volumes." Oda still can come up with his ideas for One Piece. Can other manga that you mention come up with more ideas for their story?
I think having Oda (the creator of One Piece) being very involved with this TV show, approving the direction really made this show so dang good. Having someone who knows every detail and what needs to be shown and how the characters need to be portrayed. This show just makes you love and root for the characters so dang much I love it.
One Piece includes a lot of crying. Even with many changes to details they've really carried the soul of the story well. It's an amazing introduction to the series.
The barrel scene became even more emotional for me due to the inclusion of childhood scenes. Originally not planned, the editors added it, and everyone on set was thrilled. It was perfect just as Pudgey mentioned. Thank you for the emotional journey through the first season. It was cool to experience you so passionately and emotionally. I felt your emotions just the same. Keep it up! ❤
One thing to note with the world of One Piece is that people can be freakishly strong without having any "powers", like Devil Fruits. Garp hints to this when he speaks of his training to Coby and Helmeppo, and Luffy went through the same training with Garp. Add to that the tensile strength of rubber and Luffy's tolerance to pain, and he can easily punch through stone like seen in this episode :)
I love how this show demonstrated power levels and that although Luffy has the highest bounty in East Blue, he is currently just an ant to the likes of Garp, Mihawk, Shanks and by extension, others they will encounter in the Grand line. Garp basically spanking Luffy like a misbehaving child, Mihawk playing with Zoro with his toothpick, Shanks compelling a sea beast with just a look. Can not wait for S2
Congratulations! You finished what’s basically the prologue of One Piece. From Season 2 onwards, you will get into the real meat of the story. More spectacular islands, more sinister villains, more amazing characters, more tragic backstories, & most especially, more Straw Hats! Just know that this is only half of the full crew.
In anime it is said that Garp comes among the strongest marine. And the man who captured Gol D Roger. So he is really a heroic character both in power and his ideals.
The interaction with Garp is greatly increased in the live action. He is very much a peripheral character. He is considered a little unpredictable and unbalanced by the marines on the same level. His laughing when things are not going as expected I'd true to the character. He has turned down promotions and all the admirals are ridiculously over powered. There is much more Koby than I'm the animé. In the fight with Arlong they had 3 lieutenants one for each crew member. Zoro's was an octopus man who used 8 swords. They cut him due to budget and the difficulty in making him believable
The Garp grandpa reveal doesn't happen in the anime until much, much later so it's not surprising if you don't remember it; you may not have gotten to it in the anime. As for his strength, many believe that Garp is the strongest marine...which is crazy when you consider all the wildly powerful devil fruit powers that exist in this world. Garp is after all "the hero of the marines" (as mentioned in episode 1), & the one who captured the king of the pirates all those years ago.
This season's payoff moments were perfect..we all felt Luffy's joy of seeing the Jolly Roger, his real adventure beginning..while Shanks celebrated Luffy's graduation.. the barrel scene pulled up early to make a closure..with their kids version, a happy accident by editors..unplanned..or else Nami's kid would have said the same dream.
Loved your reaction to this season finale! Pudgey's tears are nothing at all to be ashamed of, or surprised at. As I may have mentioned before now, the emotional impact of this series is a sign that it's staying true to Oda-sensei's vision and storytelling. It's also not a surprise that Spartan doesn't remember anything of the relationship bewteen Luffy and Garp. Those of us who've seen much more of the anime weren't shocked by it (except perhaps by how quickly it was revealed in live action), but it simply wasn't a feature of the East Blue arc in the original story. The same goes for Koby and Helmeppo's friendship and development. That was covered in a series of single-panel vignettes (aptly called "Koby-Meppo") included before chapters of the manga over the course of several months. I hope you didn't expect Garp to be utterly lacking in fighting prowess. After all, he is a vice-admiral in the Navy, and as he stated, has been offered even higher promotion more than once. One doesn't acheive a rank like that in the military without physical chops. But I'll admit that, after seeing Luffy and his friends in action and being so impressed, it can be shocking to see how easily Garp manhandles him. In a way, it's a wake-up call --- for the Straw Hats and for us. Like Zoro's battle with Mihawk, it gives us a glimpse of the power levels they'll be facing on the Grand Line, and how hard they'll have to work to survive there. I'm glad you mentioned Arlong's past. You're right about the hints he dropped about his own sufferings, and long-time watchers of the anime will agree that they make him slightly more sympthetic. Not to give away any details, but it is indeed a very painful story, and they might touch on that more in future seasons of the live action. Just subscribed. Looking forward to future videos!
I’m glad you brought up the music and how each character, including the Going Merry, had their own theme. I expect that the composers- Sonya Belousova and Gino Ostinelli, will be up for an Emmy next year.
I am all the way caught up in the anime :) am disappointed about the way the live action nuked the significance and respect Garp has, he is a huge name in the verse, but i understand why the LA had to do it this way to condense the story.@@hanswurst2923
yes there is some mystery around Gold rogers capture, we dont yet know the full story, but according to the general public in the one piece verse and the navy Garp is "responsible" for his capture and therefore has the credit. but i agree Gold Roger had to have a plan surely.@@pezdispencer113
8:59 I wish they had kept the original exact line of “tell me: exactly when did I break my promise?” It makes you realize that he never physically did anything and she didn’t have any tangible proof that he had any involvement. At that point Nami realized she was helpless because he had planned it all along. He was never gonna let her go, and instead insinuating that he didn’t *do* anything to her money gave the buildup that she was never gonna be able to leave, and she would just have to pile up enough money again and again just for it to get taken away. In the live action version, he’s more transparent that he lied, giving the excuse of “humans do it!” It doesn’t really implant the same weight of helplessness because he’s basically telling her straight out that he took her money, whereas him pointing out that he never physically *did* anything to it just leaves a hole in your heart.
Thanks so much for taking us along on your "One Piece" journey, Spartan & Pudgey. Amazing reactions. Question. When do you two plan on announcing if Black Sails, Peaky Blinders, Stranger Things, The Expanse, or The Last Kingdom has won your Patreon poll for the next series you will be reacting to ?
@SpartanandPudgey Them ? Is there more then one of these shows being chosen as One Piece has just ended and Breaking Bad will be ending in 18 episodes time or will one of these shows be taking the One Piece slot and Better Call Saul be taking the Breaking Bad slot ?
Watching and reading One Piece I have found myself crying like a 5-year-old and then laughing while my tears haven't dried yet or hating someone so much, but end up loving them. I have read many novels, manga, webtoons, comics, and other kinds of books, but I have never experienced so many different emotions in a single series. I have cried or laughed while reading other stories, but such mixed emotions were never there. From my experience, this is the type of story that drips feeds your emotions and then bangs you with something hard. By the time this bang comes, you are already emotionally attached to the characters/events happening, so it hits you harder. Hence, the magic of One Piece.
It is wild how they worked out in the span of 8 episodes got through the east blue saga which is about 50 episodes. And on top of that they condensed in bits and such from later, like yes Garp comes a Lot later (and the show runners actually had to win Oda over on the idea of bringing in Garp and revealing his relation to Luffy this early). We live in a bizarre timeline where Sonic gets live action movies that don't suck and One Piece got adapted well. Also, the montage with reusing the backstory kid clips was actually an afterthought done by one of the editors they kept in because it fit so well.
Such a great show!! I hope one day ya'll get to watch One Piece the anime (original or the remake) one day. The story deserves to be experienced by everyone!!
The way the guy said it's a better introduction to One Piece via Live Action rather than 50 episodes of Anime, I think he doesn't remember exactly how the anime goes. I started the anime when the live action come out and went with the anime first, I prefer the anime more. and I have watched the whole Naruto and Shippuden series. It's the same thing as saying it there's a good Naruto LA that it should be how you get introduced to Naruto instead of watching 50 episodes of it. Seriously a lot of details are skipped and less action pack due to budget and time constraints
The Reason why I love one piece so much is because we all are looking for our own One Piece within ourselves, it's only a matter of time when we actually find it. 😊
This will be my 2nd last of the reaction train of LA..last being Jack who's also on his anime journey..watching the LA reactions nearly 40 times since its release..ooh it was taxing by the end.
The first season of one piece apparently took a full year to film not including the post production stuff. And as far as I am aware they haven’t started shooting yet. (Mostly because of the writers and actors strikes that happened they weren’t able too) I believe they are currently doing scripts and likely casting right now. So it’ll likely be late 2025 or 2026 for season 2 unfortunately. Edit: also got Garp y’all gotta remember he is a vice admiral, he is the third highest rank in the navy period. The man can also throw a cannon ball faster than an actual cannon can shoot one. Of course he can fight. He’s a monster.
The show encapsulate accurately the way the manga does reward your with such heartwarming and tearbending moments. Sadness also of course. But, i think, one piece is so much more emotional that what it seems when you never read/watched it. So this gave such a great introduction to how you'll feel following the 20+ years great journey we're in.
Grandpa is a unique addition from the live action. The reveal of Luffy having a grandfather who is a Vice Admiral is supposed to happen far later at a point where the viewer can get an understanding of the sort of monsters those Marines with some sort of Admiral rank are. In terms of the changes that disappointed me the most that weren't due to practical / budget reasons, one is that Usopp doesn't really star in his own arc. He is supposed to have his own moment to shine in it, but instead we only see him show some of his strength when he blows up that fishman in the final episode. And for Nami's arc, I disapprove of the changes they made to the plot in regards to the villagers and Nojiko. Even if I ignore Bellemere being demoted to a harmless soccer mom compared to the original, there still remains the fact that in the original, Nojiko, Genzo and the villagers played a more substantive role where they all supposed Nami in their own way. Nojiko got those tattoos of hers as one way to support her. The villagers pretended to hate Nami so that Nami could run away from Arlong without feeling responsible for them. Nami's eventually mental collapse where she stabs the crap out of her tattoo is the result of the villagers deciding enough is enough, and that they are going to fight Arlong or die trying.. and she failed to stop them with reason. The emotions of the live action were good, but in the anime the emotions hit like an utter truck in comparison. There were some minor things that were changed I would have liked to see preserved in some form (we didn't see the story of the dog whose human passed away, or the silly story with Gaimon, there was no Jango and no sea cow and the Hachi we did doesn't even seem to have the same personality as the original) but all around it was a great run. I wonder if Pudgey intends on checking out the anime? 🙂
No mentions of future plans for watching the anime :( I really hope they would do it eventually. The LA was beautifully done but the emotions, the hype, the realizations are way worth it when watching the OP anime. Thank you guys!
23:25-23:34 And on top of everything else that's happening, Kayla's already looking a lot healthier after only a week or two since they left. Side note, did you see next to the wanted poster in her newspaper, the R and A? They're going to introduce the Revolutionary Army soon. That's what they're telling us.
amazing review I would love to see you guys watch the anime one day but here are some non spoiler facts 1. Garp is an extremely strong character and maybe top 10-15 now, in his prime age maybe top 3-5 2. You guys noticed that Mihawk and Shanks duel a lot which is true it’s said that they go head to head in friendly battles every now and then
They did the villagers dirty in the live action. In the anime, the villagers knew that Nami was trying to buy their freedom but didn't say anything because they didn't want Nami to feel obligated to carry out the goal - so that she could leave Arlong any time she wanted if she changed her mind. Also, in the anime, the villagers decided to go to war with Arlong when they learned that Arlong had Nami's money stolen; they were ready to die at that point.
5:30 In the anime, this scene happened *before* Nami’s “help me” scene, and it happened very differently. Nami was the only member of the crew there(with the others nearby). It was right after Nezumi took Nami’s 100 million berry, and the villagers, knowing about Nami’s deal with Arlong for years, found out that Arlong cheated his way out of the deal and were angry for Nami’s sake. She tried desperately to stop them from attacking Arlong, but she failed and they headed to Arlong park anyway. This added to Nami’s desperation during the “help me” scene in a way that this version of the scene didn’t(because it happened *after* that in this version)
3:04 Not just an arc, it’s *almost* an entire *Saga* that consists of *multiple* arcs. Six to be specific(though it only covers five of those six arcs). There’s the Romance Dawn arc, which is the first episode. Then the Orange Town arc, which is the second episode. Next is the Syrup Village arc, which is episodes 3 and 4. Then the Baratie arc, which is episodes 5 and 6. And finally, the Arlong arc, which is episodes 7 and 8. The arc that this season didn’t cover is the Loguetown arc(though, we did see Loguetown in the execution scene at the beginning)
There is very little filler, but there are some arcs that can be condensed even further compared to the Romance Dawn (The first arc), so like 150~ episodes down to one live action season.
There are 3 things for sure that will happen next season that carry on from this season, plus the other things that will emerge in season 2. Expect season 2 to be as story heavy, funny, sad and unexpected as season 1.
The creators said they have the script for season 2 written already, and could have the second season finished in 12 to 18 months. This was during the writer's strike, so that was contingent on '12 to 18 months after the strike ends', which means we've probably got about a year-ish to wait now.
I'm really, really hyped for future seasons if they can keep up this quality. There's some top-notch story material coming up as we enter the grand line so I've got 0 worries on that front. I honestly worry the most about if the prop and CGI cost can keep up lol.
@@SpartanandPudgey They are remaking the One Piece anime on Netflix - I think it would be a good time to react to it as episodes drop each week. I think they are going to streamline certain/unneccessary plotlines, etc., so it won't be 1000+ episodes. It does make sense for new viewers who are intimated by the 1k+ episode time sink. One Piece (anime) is best enjoyed on a weekly basis, rather than trying to binge it as an adult. I've been watching it weekly since 09, and have rarely missed a week, which makes it easier to swallow in terms of time investment.
I liked the wanted poster of Pudgey :D Regarding the downgrades there are in the Live action compared to the manga, I just have one, and it's a minor one: Usopp is a guy that lied a lot, so he is used to build stories. So at the final, when he is telling the stories to the villagers, I was expecting all the villagers to cheers for his story as soon as it ended, and Luffy - as childich as he is - would be happy to hear the story, without even noticing that Usopp stole luffy story and glory. But it's really minor. For everything else, the adaptation is a really good adaptation: - people without any knowledge of OP can understand (and that's the basis) - people with a lot of knowledge of OP will notice a LOT of details everywhere (there are video to show a lot of them - video full of SPOILER) - people with a lot of knowledge of OP don't even know how the story will be told. And although there are differences, key moments are respected, the behavior of the characters are the same. So yeah, really good job guys!
Amazing reactions guys! Just a small bit of constructive criticism, I noticed Pudgey has a habit of looking away from the screen every time something gets her emotional, the show definitely pulls at the heart strings, but please don’t look away every time, in those moments of a few seconds you miss a few things that really gives the scenes alil more oomf.
I personally love the anime version of Luffy destroying the park. They end up in Nami's room, where Luffy notices all the charts surrounding a blood stained pen. He just sits there staring at it while Arlong monologs and then just starts breaking shit. The scene where Nami watches her desk fall through the air, realizing Luffy did that just for her, breaks her that someone finally did what she couldn't. Luffy destroys the place because it's Nami's personal prison, so it can't exist anymore.
That was great adaptation, they did really good job! Only thing I hate about their decisions is changing Nami story with the villagers. That kinda ruined "The One Piece Spirit" and put it in line with other usual west series
You're not wrong about there being a generational changing of the guard. One thing I don't think anyone else has mentioned yes is the guy with the green striped shirt that was standing next to Shanks was Usopp's dad. The fact Usopp just happened to join the crew of his father's captain's (Shanks) de facto (Luffy) son makes their connection even more special.
Hardship, friendship, Naruto and Luffy have a lot on common. I'd say the main difference is that Naruto tends to do what he thinks it's right, some times kinda forcing his point of view onto others (he might be right and he always has good intentions, but still kinda forcing them nontless) while Luffy tends to do what he feels other people needs. Also, Naruto's dream of becoming Hokage is driven from a very basic need to be recogniced (that evolved to wanting to protect everyone) Luffys obsession with becoming the pirate king, well, it's complex and has so many layers xD too hard to explain and to many spoilers, but let's say it keeps taking shape and making sense with time. The person with the biggest dreams on the world^^
One piece is truly a great story! :D and I loved loved seeing pudgey’s reactions! And the wanted poster! :D but the reactions were perfect! I do agree that from a perspective of a person outside of the manga the live action would probably be a better entryway, and even though it is sooo great I still would have loved to see your reactions to the original version as the emotions are like 10 times stronger. Maybe one day. Loved the video! Thank you for the je ornery loved seeing it through your eyes! And can’t wait for the next death note episode!
For me, the gum gum rocket 🚀 mean so much. I won't spoil but the first time he used that move was with somebody very very very important to luffy. By the way, this villain was like an entry boss villain. A small fry compared to what the world of one piece will show.
About Luffy being very childish, well he IS 17, so basically still a kid. The oldest of the east blue crew is Sanji at 19, being born in march. Then Zoro who is also 19 but he was born in december, so he is a few months younger. Then Nami who is 18 and finally Usopp and Luffy who are both 17. They are all still kids/fresh into young adulthood.
Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece worked closely with the producers for this show and had a big hand in a lot of the casting. He personally met with Inaki Godoy who plays Luffy and gave his personal blessing to him that he was Luffy. They definitely did not insert a dub voiceline in the castoff ceremony, but I will say that, in my opinion, sometimes Inaki's voice when he really exclaims gets right up there in pitch with Colleen Clinkenbeard, the dub voice actor for Luffy and a massive amount of other anime superstars. You might recognize the voice as its the voice of teen Gohan(android/cell) in DBZ. Imagine if that Gohan talked like he was stoned all the time, and that is 99% of the Luffy dub voice.
The power of Anime, they know how to do fight scene, they know how to make you pumped like hulk, they know how to make you cry, they know how to do emotional damage. And the long last, they know how to do family without say a single fucking word
33:52 I was hoping that too, but with them revealing that they took away Sokka’s sexism(which means he won’t have his big character arc during the Kyoshi Island arc) and they wanted to draw in Game of Thrones fans(a *MASSIVE* red flag because Avatar is nothing like Game of Thrones), my optimism for that show has been eviscerated.
@@flpandreiNope it's easily top 10 atleast. He was called strongest marine once even stronger than admirals of the time. Also he did a 1v5 vs BB commanders when one of them is aokiji and hold them off for quite some time at this age.
Wish they had enough budget for Hachi and his fight with Zoro in this. Just a suggestion but some people that watched the live action are just watching up to were the live action ended which is until episode 45.
The time to shooting a season was why they had to reimaging the series. With the times between seasons the cast would age out of their roles. + Netlix has a habit of funding just a few seasons of even popular shows.
I just hope the massive success of the first season means they’ll give them more episodes in future; even with how well they’ve condensed the material so far, I can’t see the natural endpoint of Season 2 being reached without a minimum of 10 episodes… And same for Seasons 3, 4 and onwards; even if they don’t get to complete the whole story they deserve that small touch of breathing room for the bigger story arcs to come.
Lol you forgot Garp trianed Luffy and Garp is a Vice Admiral of course he can fight! Not only that, you can take a hint how strong he is when he interacts with Roger. Not spoiling much.
Garp is literally on Mihawk and the other Warlords of the Sea's level. He's *STUPIDLY* strong. He, along with Mihawk, (And hinted at Shanks) are the characters that are supposed to show just how *weak* the East Blue is, and how much further Luffy and the Crew have to go in the world of power in One Piece.
The challenge for Spartan and Pudgey - see if they can get to episode 381 of the original anime before season 2 of the live action starts. Those who have gotten that far know why I picked that chapter in particular. And the second challenge for if they complete that challenge, is to get to episode 415. Again, those who have gotten that far will know why.
SUCH A GOOD FINALE!! Very emotional but we loved it. So keen for the 2nd Season! Bring it on!!

I'm rewatching the series now & am at Water 7, & I can't stop crying even tho I know what's coming.
If you go back and look, you will see that Zeff made Luffy 'Employee of the Month' when he put his wanted poster on the board..
It's sooo cool. I didn't catch that on my first viewing.
Can't wait what they do if they see Sanji wanted poster X'D
The barrel scene became even more emotional for me due to the inclusion of childhood scenes. Originally not planned, the editors added it, and everyone on set was thrilled. It was perfect just as Pudgey mentioned.
Thank you for the emotional journey through the first season. It was cool to experience you so passionately and emotionally. I felt your emotions just the same. Keep it up! ❤
One thing to note with the world of One Piece is that people can be freakishly strong without having any "powers", like Devil Fruits. Garp hints to this when he speaks of his training to Coby and Helmeppo, and Luffy went through the same training with Garp. Add to that the tensile strength of rubber and Luffy's tolerance to pain, and he can easily punch through stone like seen in this episode :)
I love how this show demonstrated power levels and that although Luffy has the highest bounty in East Blue, he is currently just an ant to the likes of Garp, Mihawk, Shanks and by extension, others they will encounter in the Grand line.
Garp basically spanking Luffy like a misbehaving child, Mihawk playing with Zoro with his toothpick, Shanks compelling a sea beast with just a look.
Can not wait for S2
It's like an RPG. Luffy have to beat the small fry to level up! I'm currently in wano and the fight against kaido and Linlin. They all grow so much
@@TheHumility101 You are close to watch it weekly!! Welcome to the club!! :P
Garp is one of the strongest characters in all of One Piece, it’s no surprise that Luffy got bodied fighting him this early. 😂
Congratulations! You finished what’s basically the prologue of One Piece. From Season 2 onwards, you will get into the real meat of the story.
More spectacular islands, more sinister villains, more amazing characters, more tragic backstories, & most especially, more Straw Hats! Just know that this is only half of the full crew.
As Spartan asked about Luffy’s anime voice, the Japanese anime voice actors did provide their voices for the Japanese dubs of the OPLA for Japan.
Love how much laughing goes on while by Pudgey and Spartan watch this show. Truly a tale that makes you laugh.
"laughtale"
Lmao that's funny as hell
In anime it is said that Garp comes among the strongest marine.
And the man who captured
Gol D Roger. So he is really a heroic character both in power and his ideals.
The interaction with Garp is greatly increased in the live action. He is very much a peripheral character. He is considered a little unpredictable and unbalanced by the marines on the same level. His laughing when things are not going as expected I'd true to the character. He has turned down promotions and all the admirals are ridiculously over powered. There is much more Koby than I'm the animé. In the fight with Arlong they had 3 lieutenants one for each crew member. Zoro's was an octopus man who used 8 swords. They cut him due to budget and the difficulty in making him believable
100% agree. Giving Garp and Coby so much screen time was a great way to world build fast in only 8 episodes.
The Garp grandpa reveal doesn't happen in the anime until much, much later so it's not surprising if you don't remember it; you may not have gotten to it in the anime.
As for his strength, many believe that Garp is the strongest marine...which is crazy when you consider all the wildly powerful devil fruit powers that exist in this world. Garp is after all "the hero of the marines" (as mentioned in episode 1), & the one who captured the king of the pirates all those years ago.
This season's payoff moments were perfect..we all felt Luffy's joy of seeing the Jolly Roger, his real adventure beginning..while Shanks celebrated Luffy's graduation..
the barrel scene pulled up early to make a closure..with their kids version, a happy accident by editors..unplanned..or else Nami's kid would have said the same dream.
Loved your reaction to this season finale! Pudgey's tears are nothing at all to be ashamed of, or surprised at. As I may have mentioned before now, the emotional impact of this series is a sign that it's staying true to Oda-sensei's vision and storytelling.
It's also not a surprise that Spartan doesn't remember anything of the relationship bewteen Luffy and Garp. Those of us who've seen much more of the anime weren't shocked by it (except perhaps by how quickly it was revealed in live action), but it simply wasn't a feature of the East Blue arc in the original story. The same goes for Koby and Helmeppo's friendship and development. That was covered in a series of single-panel vignettes (aptly called "Koby-Meppo") included before chapters of the manga over the course of several months.
I hope you didn't expect Garp to be utterly lacking in fighting prowess. After all, he is a vice-admiral in the Navy, and as he stated, has been offered even higher promotion more than once. One doesn't acheive a rank like that in the military without physical chops. But I'll admit that, after seeing Luffy and his friends in action and being so impressed, it can be shocking to see how easily Garp manhandles him. In a way, it's a wake-up call --- for the Straw Hats and for us. Like Zoro's battle with Mihawk, it gives us a glimpse of the power levels they'll be facing on the Grand Line, and how hard they'll have to work to survive there.
I'm glad you mentioned Arlong's past. You're right about the hints he dropped about his own sufferings, and long-time watchers of the anime will agree that they make him slightly more sympthetic. Not to give away any details, but it is indeed a very painful story, and they might touch on that more in future seasons of the live action.
Just subscribed. Looking forward to future videos!
I’m glad you brought up the music and how each character, including the Going Merry, had their own theme. I expect that the composers- Sonya Belousova and Gino Ostinelli, will be up for an Emmy next year.
The pudgey bounty worthing 0 really got me 😭😂😂
Garp is Man who captured Gold Roger, he is an absolute monster
Yeaaaaah there is some nuance about that whole thing. How far are you into the story?
@@hanswurst2923 I get your point, but it works to emphasize how powerful he is considering the level of their clashes
Kinda seemed like he wanted to get caught. That man very clearly had a plan.
FYI I've only watched the Live Action.
I am all the way caught up in the anime :) am disappointed about the way the live action nuked the significance and respect Garp has, he is a huge name in the verse, but i understand why the LA had to do it this way to condense the story.@@hanswurst2923
yes there is some mystery around Gold rogers capture, we dont yet know the full story, but according to the general public in the one piece verse and the navy Garp is "responsible" for his capture and therefore has the credit. but i agree Gold Roger had to have a plan surely.@@pezdispencer113
Garp is known as “the Fist” in the One Piece world. In his prime he was one of the strongest the world has seen
8:59 I wish they had kept the original exact line of “tell me: exactly when did I break my promise?”
It makes you realize that he never physically did anything and she didn’t have any tangible proof that he had any involvement. At that point Nami realized she was helpless because he had planned it all along. He was never gonna let her go, and instead insinuating that he didn’t *do* anything to her money gave the buildup that she was never gonna be able to leave, and she would just have to pile up enough money again and again just for it to get taken away.
In the live action version, he’s more transparent that he lied, giving the excuse of “humans do it!” It doesn’t really implant the same weight of helplessness because he’s basically telling her straight out that he took her money, whereas him pointing out that he never physically *did* anything to it just leaves a hole in your heart.
Thanks so much for taking us along on your "One Piece" journey, Spartan & Pudgey.
Amazing reactions.
Question.
When do you two plan on announcing if Black Sails, Peaky Blinders, Stranger Things, The Expanse, or The Last Kingdom has won your Patreon poll for the next series you will be reacting to ?
thanks for joining us! we'll be announcing them soon
@SpartanandPudgey Them ?
Is there more then one of these shows being chosen as One Piece has just ended and Breaking Bad will be ending in 18 episodes time or will one of these shows be taking the One Piece slot and Better Call Saul be taking the Breaking Bad slot ?
Really enjoyed watching your reaction, amazing job.
Watching and reading One Piece I have found myself crying like a 5-year-old and then laughing while my tears haven't dried yet or hating someone so much, but end up loving them. I have read many novels, manga, webtoons, comics, and other kinds of books, but I have never experienced so many different emotions in a single series. I have cried or laughed while reading other stories, but such mixed emotions were never there. From my experience, this is the type of story that drips feeds your emotions and then bangs you with something hard. By the time this bang comes, you are already emotionally attached to the characters/events happening, so it hits you harder. Hence, the magic of One Piece.
It is wild how they worked out in the span of 8 episodes got through the east blue saga which is about 50 episodes. And on top of that they condensed in bits and such from later, like yes Garp comes a Lot later (and the show runners actually had to win Oda over on the idea of bringing in Garp and revealing his relation to Luffy this early).
We live in a bizarre timeline where Sonic gets live action movies that don't suck and One Piece got adapted well.
Also, the montage with reusing the backstory kid clips was actually an afterthought done by one of the editors they kept in because it fit so well.
Such a great show!! I hope one day ya'll get to watch One Piece the anime (original or the remake) one day. The story deserves to be experienced by everyone!!
The way the guy said it's a better introduction to One Piece via Live Action rather than 50 episodes of Anime, I think he doesn't remember exactly how the anime goes. I started the anime when the live action come out and went with the anime first, I prefer the anime more. and I have watched the whole Naruto and Shippuden series. It's the same thing as saying it there's a good Naruto LA that it should be how you get introduced to Naruto instead of watching 50 episodes of it. Seriously a lot of details are skipped and less action pack due to budget and time constraints
The Reason why I love one piece so much is because we all are looking for our own One Piece within ourselves, it's only a matter of time when we actually find it. 😊
This will be my 2nd last of the reaction train of LA..last being Jack who's also on his anime journey..watching the LA reactions nearly 40 times since its release..ooh it was taxing by the end.
haha that's a solid comittment! we hope you enjoyed it with us 🙏🏼❤️
@@SpartanandPudgey oh sure..next time for S2 then.
One piece is number 1 because of how actors embody the characters and the LOVE for Oda’s timeless tale. Your reactions said it all!
The first season of one piece apparently took a full year to film not including the post production stuff. And as far as I am aware they haven’t started shooting yet. (Mostly because of the writers and actors strikes that happened they weren’t able too) I believe they are currently doing scripts and likely casting right now. So it’ll likely be late 2025 or 2026 for season 2 unfortunately.
Edit: also got Garp y’all gotta remember he is a vice admiral, he is the third highest rank in the navy period. The man can also throw a cannon ball faster than an actual cannon can shoot one. Of course he can fight. He’s a monster.
I really enjoyed this journey with you
The show encapsulate accurately the way the manga does reward your with such heartwarming and tearbending moments. Sadness also of course. But, i think, one piece is so much more emotional that what it seems when you never read/watched it. So this gave such a great introduction to how you'll feel following the 20+ years great journey we're in.
I really love Pudgy’s attitude in this ep💗💗💗 yasss girlllll🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
This show is my new obsession. Can't wait for season 2
Been waiting for this one 🫶🏻
“Luffy wanted poster” - Meh
“Luffy employee of the month” - Yesss!!!
Grandpa is a unique addition from the live action. The reveal of Luffy having a grandfather who is a Vice Admiral is supposed to happen far later at a point where the viewer can get an understanding of the sort of monsters those Marines with some sort of Admiral rank are.
In terms of the changes that disappointed me the most that weren't due to practical / budget reasons, one is that Usopp doesn't really star in his own arc. He is supposed to have his own moment to shine in it, but instead we only see him show some of his strength when he blows up that fishman in the final episode.
And for Nami's arc, I disapprove of the changes they made to the plot in regards to the villagers and Nojiko. Even if I ignore Bellemere being demoted to a harmless soccer mom compared to the original, there still remains the fact that in the original, Nojiko, Genzo and the villagers played a more substantive role where they all supposed Nami in their own way. Nojiko got those tattoos of hers as one way to support her. The villagers pretended to hate Nami so that Nami could run away from Arlong without feeling responsible for them. Nami's eventually mental collapse where she stabs the crap out of her tattoo is the result of the villagers deciding enough is enough, and that they are going to fight Arlong or die trying.. and she failed to stop them with reason. The emotions of the live action were good, but in the anime the emotions hit like an utter truck in comparison.
There were some minor things that were changed I would have liked to see preserved in some form (we didn't see the story of the dog whose human passed away, or the silly story with Gaimon, there was no Jango and no sea cow and the Hachi we did doesn't even seem to have the same personality as the original) but all around it was a great run.
I wonder if Pudgey intends on checking out the anime? 🙂
Welcome to the straw hats crew officially, Pudgey!! 😁😁
No mentions of future plans for watching the anime :(
I really hope they would do it eventually. The LA was beautifully done but the emotions, the hype, the realizations are way worth it when watching the OP anime. Thank you guys!
I love that saying no to garp immediately made him like koby and helmeppo more
Garp is on another level of strength. the strongest marine imo
Akainu would make a donut out of him im afraid.
Nah not now
@@midgetporn9735after punk hazard maybe but not in marineford
@@midgetporn9735 nah u trippin. akainu couldnt touch garp
Yassss wow glad To finish this show with you both . Can't wait for season 2 let's go gooooo our dreams will come true!!!!! Woot woot!
One piece needs at least 10 episodes per season. 12 would be optimal because then 10 seasons wouldt be enough,without cuting out anything important.
23:25-23:34 And on top of everything else that's happening, Kayla's already looking a lot healthier after only a week or two since they left.
Side note, did you see next to the wanted poster in her newspaper, the R and A?
They're going to introduce the Revolutionary Army soon. That's what they're telling us.
amazing review I would love to see you guys watch the anime one day but here are some non spoiler facts
1. Garp is an extremely strong character and maybe top 10-15 now, in his prime age maybe top 3-5
2. You guys noticed that Mihawk and Shanks duel a lot which is true it’s said that they go head to head in friendly battles every now and then
24:25 Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp.
18:00 Did you forget that he threw a cannonball like his arm was a cannon?
They did the villagers dirty in the live action.
In the anime, the villagers knew that Nami was trying to buy their freedom but didn't say anything because they didn't want Nami to feel obligated to carry out the goal - so that she could leave Arlong any time she wanted if she changed her mind.
Also, in the anime, the villagers decided to go to war with Arlong when they learned that Arlong had Nami's money stolen; they were ready to die at that point.
The 5 Rurouni Kenshien movies are another great anime to live action adaptation.
09:25 13:00
21:43 25:35
5:30 In the anime, this scene happened *before* Nami’s “help me” scene, and it happened very differently. Nami was the only member of the crew there(with the others nearby). It was right after Nezumi took Nami’s 100 million berry, and the villagers, knowing about Nami’s deal with Arlong for years, found out that Arlong cheated his way out of the deal and were angry for Nami’s sake. She tried desperately to stop them from attacking Arlong, but she failed and they headed to Arlong park anyway. This added to Nami’s desperation during the “help me” scene in a way that this version of the scene didn’t(because it happened *after* that in this version)
3:04 Not just an arc, it’s *almost* an entire *Saga* that consists of *multiple* arcs. Six to be specific(though it only covers five of those six arcs). There’s the Romance Dawn arc, which is the first episode. Then the Orange Town arc, which is the second episode. Next is the Syrup Village arc, which is episodes 3 and 4. Then the Baratie arc, which is episodes 5 and 6. And finally, the Arlong arc, which is episodes 7 and 8. The arc that this season didn’t cover is the Loguetown arc(though, we did see Loguetown in the execution scene at the beginning)
There is very little filler, but there are some arcs that can be condensed even further compared to the Romance Dawn (The first arc), so like 150~ episodes down to one live action season.
There are 3 things for sure that will happen next season that carry on from this season, plus the other things that will emerge in season 2. Expect season 2 to be as story heavy, funny, sad and unexpected as season 1.
The creators said they have the script for season 2 written already, and could have the second season finished in 12 to 18 months. This was during the writer's strike, so that was contingent on '12 to 18 months after the strike ends', which means we've probably got about a year-ish to wait now.
Yes, garp is very strong. He was the one who took the pirate king into custody. He's been a vice admiral for decades.
I'm really, really hyped for future seasons if they can keep up this quality. There's some top-notch story material coming up as we enter the grand line so I've got 0 worries on that front. I honestly worry the most about if the prop and CGI cost can keep up lol.
4:54 Reminiscing is not the word I’d choose
So 1000 episodes reaction when ? 😂
Great following your one piece journey
🤣😅
@@SpartanandPudgey They are remaking the One Piece anime on Netflix - I think it would be a good time to react to it as episodes drop each week. I think they are going to streamline certain/unneccessary plotlines, etc., so it won't be 1000+ episodes. It does make sense for new viewers who are intimated by the 1k+ episode time sink.
One Piece (anime) is best enjoyed on a weekly basis, rather than trying to binge it as an adult. I've been watching it weekly since 09, and have rarely missed a week, which makes it easier to swallow in terms of time investment.
Garp the Fist was the military rival to the pirate king, of course he can fight
I liked the wanted poster of Pudgey :D
Regarding the downgrades there are in the Live action compared to the manga, I just have one, and it's a minor one: Usopp is a guy that lied a lot, so he is used to build stories. So at the final, when he is telling the stories to the villagers, I was expecting all the villagers to cheers for his story as soon as it ended, and Luffy - as childich as he is - would be happy to hear the story, without even noticing that Usopp stole luffy story and glory.
But it's really minor. For everything else, the adaptation is a really good adaptation:
- people without any knowledge of OP can understand (and that's the basis)
- people with a lot of knowledge of OP will notice a LOT of details everywhere (there are video to show a lot of them - video full of SPOILER)
- people with a lot of knowledge of OP don't even know how the story will be told. And although there are differences, key moments are respected, the behavior of the characters are the same.
So yeah, really good job guys!
„gramps can fight?“ literally like top 5 in the entire verse 💀
35:25 I wouldn’t say “definitely”. He never came back in the anime after this arc, except in flashbacks.
Yooo!Welcome onboard!!
Garp is very strong since he was able to put up a fight against Roger in his prime
Garp is unironically one of the strongest characters for a LONG time.
One thing i like that they didn't change is how Luffy say the most dumb things but he drop bars when talking to his enemies.
Amazing reactions guys! Just a small bit of constructive criticism, I noticed Pudgey has a habit of looking away from the screen every time something gets her emotional, the show definitely pulls at the heart strings, but please don’t look away every time, in those moments of a few seconds you miss a few things that really gives the scenes alil more oomf.
I personally love the anime version of Luffy destroying the park. They end up in Nami's room, where Luffy notices all the charts surrounding a blood stained pen. He just sits there staring at it while Arlong monologs and then just starts breaking shit. The scene where Nami watches her desk fall through the air, realizing Luffy did that just for her, breaks her that someone finally did what she couldn't. Luffy destroys the place because it's Nami's personal prison, so it can't exist anymore.
That was great adaptation, they did really good job! Only thing I hate about their decisions is changing Nami story with the villagers. That kinda ruined "The One Piece Spirit" and put it in line with other usual west series
You're not wrong about there being a generational changing of the guard. One thing I don't think anyone else has mentioned yes is the guy with the green striped shirt that was standing next to Shanks was Usopp's dad. The fact Usopp just happened to join the crew of his father's captain's (Shanks) de facto (Luffy) son makes their connection even more special.
His grandfather isnt really introduced much till around episode 200
I'm excited for season 2
I would love to see you guys react to the legend of vox machina. I think you'd really enjoy it
Hardship, friendship, Naruto and Luffy have a lot on common. I'd say the main difference is that Naruto tends to do what he thinks it's right, some times kinda forcing his point of view onto others (he might be right and he always has good intentions, but still kinda forcing them nontless) while Luffy tends to do what he feels other people needs. Also, Naruto's dream of becoming Hokage is driven from a very basic need to be recogniced (that evolved to wanting to protect everyone) Luffys obsession with becoming the pirate king, well, it's complex and has so many layers xD too hard to explain and to many spoilers, but let's say it keeps taking shape and making sense with time. The person with the biggest dreams on the world^^
Season 2 is coming next year if they finish shooting this year
4:41 And most of them have another tattoo - re the red mark on Kuroobi's chest...
started in a barrel, now were here.. 😁
that feels more amazing after 1090+ episodes in anime..
One piece is truly a great story! :D and I loved loved seeing pudgey’s reactions! And the wanted poster! :D but the reactions were perfect! I do agree that from a perspective of a person outside of the manga the live action would probably be a better entryway, and even though it is sooo great I still would have loved to see your reactions to the original version as the emotions are like 10 times stronger. Maybe one day. Loved the video! Thank you for the je ornery loved seeing it through your eyes! And can’t wait for the next death note episode!
❤️🙏🏼
The was a major strike that screwed up production on a lot of shows.
For me, the gum gum rocket 🚀 mean so much. I won't spoil but the first time he used that move was with somebody very very very important to luffy.
By the way, this villain was like an entry boss villain. A small fry compared to what the world of one piece will show.
Each character has their own musical instrument
About Luffy being very childish, well he IS 17, so basically still a kid. The oldest of the east blue crew is Sanji at 19, being born in march. Then Zoro who is also 19 but he was born in december, so he is a few months younger. Then Nami who is 18 and finally Usopp and Luffy who are both 17. They are all still kids/fresh into young adulthood.
What if Sanji was born in March of the next year? We can't say who's the oldest
Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece worked closely with the producers for this show and had a big hand in a lot of the casting. He personally met with Inaki Godoy who plays Luffy and gave his personal blessing to him that he was Luffy.
They definitely did not insert a dub voiceline in the castoff ceremony, but I will say that, in my opinion, sometimes Inaki's voice when he really exclaims gets right up there in pitch with Colleen Clinkenbeard, the dub voice actor for Luffy and a massive amount of other anime superstars. You might recognize the voice as its the voice of teen Gohan(android/cell) in DBZ.
Imagine if that Gohan talked like he was stoned all the time, and that is 99% of the Luffy dub voice.
The power of Anime, they know how to do fight scene, they know how to make you pumped like hulk, they know how to make you cry, they know how to do emotional damage. And the long last, they know how to do family without say a single fucking word
33:52 I was hoping that too, but with them revealing that they took away Sokka’s sexism(which means he won’t have his big character arc during the Kyoshi Island arc) and they wanted to draw in Game of Thrones fans(a *MASSIVE* red flag because Avatar is nothing like Game of Thrones), my optimism for that show has been eviscerated.
Can't wait to see God ussop in live action 🔥

@@aayushwarrier4542 He's still maybe top 10, but they've introduced so many SUPER OP characters lately that it's hard to quantify where Garp'ed end up
Wish they had enough budget for Hachi and his fight with Zoro in this. Just a suggestion but some people that watched the live action are just watching up to were the live action ended which is until episode 45.
Oh, pudgy if you love villains, then I’ve got news for you. There is quite a few wonderful antiheroes and villains in one piece that you’ll love.
Especially for next season where we’ll get one of the best in the series.
Season 2 will most likely come out mid or late 2025, depends how soon they start filming this year, should be soon.
The time to shooting a season was why they had to reimaging the series. With the times between seasons the cast would age out of their roles. + Netlix has a habit of funding just a few seasons of even popular shows.
I just hope the massive success of the first season means they’ll give them more episodes in future; even with how well they’ve condensed the material so far, I can’t see the natural endpoint of Season 2 being reached without a minimum of 10 episodes… And same for Seasons 3, 4 and onwards; even if they don’t get to complete the whole story they deserve that small touch of breathing room for the bigger story arcs to come.
Lol you forgot Garp trianed Luffy and Garp is a Vice Admiral of course he can fight! Not only that, you can take a hint how strong he is when he interacts with Roger. Not spoiling much.
It's not crying. It's happy tears 😭😭😭
Garp is literally on Mihawk and the other Warlords of the Sea's level. He's *STUPIDLY* strong. He, along with Mihawk, (And hinted at Shanks) are the characters that are supposed to show just how *weak* the East Blue is, and how much further Luffy and the Crew have to go in the world of power in One Piece.
The East Blue is the weakest of the four quadrants, and all of them are nothing to the Grand Line itself…
Not on his level now lol

The challenge for Spartan and Pudgey - see if they can get to episode 381 of the original anime before season 2 of the live action starts.
Those who have gotten that far know why I picked that chapter in particular.
And the second challenge for if they complete that challenge, is to get to episode 415. Again, those who have gotten that far will know why.
