The rush to get to The Grand Line by chapter 100 is why I consider the anime filler in Louge Town to be cannon. Especially science Oda confirmed that he wanted to do more in Louge Town.
That is all canon material. Daddy Masterson and everything else is included in Loguetown 2000 novel.
@@blueontheradio736 You would be surprised the amount of people who doesn't consider that cannon.
@@justinn8541 alot of stuffs are canon material which very few people know like ace & law spin offs. I am also hearing about heroine which will have stories for the female characters in one piece and in an interview (2018) oda even commented about him wanting to write a garp & dragon novel as well.
@@blueontheradio736 Didn't know that. This is actually cool.
@@justinn8541 i am not, some are like that lol
THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!!!!!!!!!
WE CAN GET MUCH HIGHER!
SO HIIIGH!
SO HIIIGH, SO HIIIIIGH (oooooo)
That final line got me to shout “Fuck off!” with a smile on my face
My exact reaction
CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER
The thing is with One Piece you can never tell. Somethines you just have to wait 10 or 20 years for certain story threads to come back up lol.
Considering past events, I give even odds that next week's One Piece title page will show Buggy and Alvida working together or something.
Oooooh Man That final line, man! That FINAL LINE on the short!!! GOOSEBUMPS!!
Undyne was right after all.
The GRAND LINE *badoom tss*
I genuinely think you should save this video as one of your best pieces across the last few years because it describes the last chapter as elegantly as only you could have described on your own terms. Well done.
Happy 100 chapters, Skyen. Here’s to 1000+ more.
It's not his first read through
@@ImchautzuCHAUTZU We all know, but it is the “100th chapter upload” with many more to come.
1013, to be exact
I think the thing that make One Piece so good is also what it suffers from. It does SO much. There’s so many amazing, unique characters/designs constantly being introduced, all with their own stories and motivations. Add the ever changing settings, different arcs, and overarching plot on top of that and it’s gotta be a nightmare to manage. The depth and care in every small aspect of it IS what makes it amazing, but it’s also the downfall in situations like this. Doing so much for everything means you can’t do as much as we wish in areas it really counts.
as sad as it is that smoker never really becomes luffy's true rival, appearing in only like three arcs in a major role so far, what we DO get is really great.
plus who knows maybe we'll see more of him in the final saga
As someone who hasn't watched or read One Piece, these shorts really give me an appreciation for it and manga as an artform. I won't lie, I have zero desire to watch or read it, but it's genuinely amazing to watch/listen to someone who does, and clearly loves it, gush and sing its praises. I'm so glad for this platform so that people can share and make videos about their passions. Thank you Skyen for giving a layman like me a view into something you're passionate about. And thank you for showing off Oda's amazing art in a way that reflects that.
I've got a manga suggestion for you
It didn't realize until I was 2 minutes in this short that it was 5 minutes long. XD
Also the bit about Zoro losing about the character backstory department is one of the reasons why I love reading fanfics.
I can wonder as long as I want on what past life he could've had or how he would deal with it.
And for me it's great to find so many fics that have their own takes on "what could've been" that I really enjoy to read and explore.
This man NEEDS to collab with Totally Not Mark when he eventually covers Egghead. That would make for an amazing video
Hard to believe we're already at 100. Found this series and channel talking about Chou Chou in the buggy arc and now we're here. Absolutely love your channel. Your videos are the highlight of my day
Even in 1999 😅 damn I'm getting old
You're gonna make me cry man!!
One Piece saved me in the darkest time in my life, it showed me joy was possible and made me feel whole again
Luffy's ability to draw people in, make them believe in him so much they begin to believe in themselves, that quality of his is real. It happened to me and it made me want to live again.
And i never would've found it without these videos
The incredible depth of your analysis for One Piece (though you do this for all of your videos really) shows just how much you care for this particular media. You love this story, and you remind me why I've read it over and over. Having you break down the best panel of a chapter means that you have tons of content, sure, but also that you give each chapter the attention it deserves. Thank you for great content 👏
I’ve been here since chapter one. Cheers to a thousand more best panels!
Wake up babe new extra long tbskyen one piece manga breakdown just dropped
Not a very short Short, but how else could it be with this chapter?
And yeah, something is missing with Zoro and Tashigi. When looking at the events of Punk Hazards, it feels to me that Oda hasn't forgotten that, and I hope it will eventually, just like How Sanji got his backstory developped very late. But it really should have been done more gradually as the story progress.
You're right about Zoro. The idea of this swordsman who can literally cut down mountains but whose personal tragedy is a friend who fell down the stairs offers a lot of options for character stuff. He should be overly worried and sensitive towards random acts of fate taking people away from him. He should have been freaking out a lot more when Nami got sick in Drum Island, for example.
We do get a bit of Zoro the Protector here and there. There's a theory that Zoro is always sleepy because he stays watch all night. I don't know if Oda ever confirmed that, but it's a nice thought. Still not enough tough.
And no, Kunia did not take her own life, for anyone thinking of bringing that up. "Falling down the stairs" is not a Japanese euphemism. Oda's editors would never allow that idea on chapter 5 of a new shonen series.
The meta reason why Kuina fell down the stairs is that Oda had to fit Zoro's flashback in only half a chapter. Stairs were the quickest way to kill her. There was no time to introduce some antagonist or explore some disease.
Thank you so much for this fantastic series, and especially not just picking all the iconic moments, even occasionally giving weird hyper personal picks that shit ROCKS
Im never gonna get tired of the "into the grandline" soundtrack
I got chills when that music started playing
Really loved all your videos and analysis. Keep em coming good sir!
Your writing pulls at my heart strings EVERY TIME
This is becoming my favorite way to rewatch One Piece
You're just perfect at this job, please continue dropping these absolute gems of analysis
A romantic at heart... and wearing it upon your sleeve...
I see your fair and reasonable critique of Dragon’s get-up and raise that he does have a practical reason to be with the hood on: It’s raining; plus the hood doesn’t fully obscure his visage. His pretty conspicuous tattoo is visible for the reader, and for Smoker who recognizes him right away, signaling that, whoever this guy is, he’s a big deal.
If I sounded like a smartass…I apologize, but I made this comment mainly because I really like your work and I find it very stimulating, intellectually (and emotionally) speaking. The way you described that panel with the storm…I felt it in my heart man.
I think Dragon stands out precisely because Oda didn't give us a design for him. Yes that is just the JJ Abrams mystery box at work, but hey, it's effective.
damn these shorts are a work of art. i love your work!
Yeah I have to agree.
The way the end doesn't look like "The End" but "The Beginning" while still capturing that arc ending feeling is just perfect 👌
The chapter that was the send off into the Grand Line did deserve it's own full length video. Well done! 👏👏👏
The One Piece was so real at some point of my life that I had a literal no joke dream about me meeting the straw hats. Like I woke up and felt weird cuz I felt like a 5 year old dreaming about being Spider Man
The final quote of this video give me goosebumps, Skyen truly knows how to deliver a cool final quote.
I think part of the magic of one piece is how Oda can take extremely cartoonish and fantastically places and characters and make them feel grounded and real, like real places and real people because as fantastically they can be, there inner core, their drive and their dreams are truly relatable and human. The goofy rubber boy who scarfs down food and is dumb enough to sail to the grand line on a small boat, who should just be an anime cliché because there’s a real human core to him and his beliefs. His dreams of freedom and a brighter future for others feels real and relatable and he sells how real it through his words and actions
I am on a hiatus rn regarding one piece and this kind of reminded me what i felt watching it. I might just pick it up again.
Also that last line gave me goosebumps and made me laugh out loud at the same time xd
You are amazing!
What a great video, really!
I think it explains briefly and clearly what made one piece so good back then and why it feels (to me) like they just... lost it.
That _magic_ is sort of gone.
Everything felt so big and grandiose whereas now it seems so insignificant.
Fantastic video tho!
To the grand line in the background is a perfect touch. Day 68
took me a second with that last line
Tashigi being dropped is also important because Zoro never got any replacement for her role of long term rival. Oda just seemed to have changed his mind on recurring antagonists after this chapter, which makes all the callbacks to Roger's less significant.
I wonder if this series will continue. I loved your reflections and I get that this is the end of the prolonged but I caught a tone of closing the book after the chapter is finished. And much like with Oda's epic, I hope see even more.
I believe he intends to go through the whole series. 100's special though, needed a longer video.
Part of the magic of One Piece that you put words to excellently here is that it is cartoony and ridiculous in all the ways that make it fun and silly, but it is real in all the ways that maje it emotionally affecting and painfully familiar and resonant. I have never cried and laughed and felt such connection with any other work of art like I have with One Piece. It is revolutionary in the way that makes oppressors nervous, and if you let it in and let it change you, it can make you just a little more free.
We made it to chapter 100! The prologue is over, on to the grand line
I saw what you did there! "The One Piece is Real"...
Yeah, at least the whole rivalry between Luffy and Smoker was dropped around Water 7. It makes sense with the events and position of the characters, but it is a bit of a shame. Anyway, awesome video Skyen.
Good morning y'all we made through to our first 100 chapters here's to many more 🍻
Skyen is gonna have lived a full life by the time he catches up to the latest chapter
Such a sad thing for Tashigi and smoker. Felt like oda was dangling a fruit in front my face for years, only to throw it away across the fence.
I wish I could like frame this short and hang it above my bed it's so unbelievably good
I raise this cup for the best panel in one piece of the next 1000 chapters at least
Oda's original plan was a 5 year plan before he basically got permission to extend it as long as he needed. Basically we could've gotten Alabasta as canon's Wano with Crocidile as an Emperor.
If nothing else... fanfiction writers took a bunch of the things you mentioned and RAN with them. Fanfic stories vary in length and quality, but I love how the character hooks that never came to fruition inspire so many readers to explore the ideas themselves.
Well done
Ill never get over Oda dropping the ball on Smoker. Koby coming in i feel took his position, Smoker got the shaft so much.
I wonder what the original plan for Smoker was. Looking at the line up of Grand Line arcs, it's hard to see where Oda could've ever fit him as an antagonist. There were theories that he'd join the crew, though. Maybe the idea was to have him flip sides, but Oda decided it was too early to explore the idea of marines betraying the governament.
@spdewertton I believe he could have fit in as a reoccurring foil to luffys crew. Showing up in arc, getting stronger along side them. Maybe throwing a wrench into bigger arcs like in alabaster.
However I think him eventually heal turning like a certain someone later in the series and becoming a pirate and joining luffy would have been great. Gives his crew a logia and it be a cool story.
@@spdewerttonI feel like he was supposed to turn up more like he did in Alabasta, something of a minor antagonist who could turn up occasionally and be either a hindrance or an ally. Sadly, he couldn’t show up in Skypeia, and there wasn’t really any time for him in Water 7 or subsequent arcs with all that was happening in them, so he could only show up after time skip, at which point the rest of the story had grown too much for him. I really wish he could have tagged along more, or we could have at least checked in on him and Tashigi a bit, since they were both so cool in Alabasta
What a amazing vídeo.
One Piece is truly deserving of its status as one of the greatest of all time.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. I love one piece for its realism and allegories. In that world though, i feel the giant octopus lowering ships and becoming small. How the different economies work. The view of justice Fujitora has. They are all real to me. Yes the fights ofc ask of us to suspend disbelief but the world of one piece is a magnificent piece of hard worldbuilding with a very rich environment. I aspire to so sth lie that in my dnd games. Let players be silly and so their thing while habing a grounded world with -less grounded when fights break out characters
See ya East Blue next stop The Grand Line.
He said the thing !
One Piece taught me what romanticism is.
Great video, I do really agree with you on what you said about zoro/some of the early east blue cast being left behind. And on this topic, while this may sound controversial but I genuinely feel pre time skip one piece is better than post time skip, I personally feel after the time skip the series became, story wise, more shonen instead of pirate adventure. Like I have to ask after the time skip has there ever been a moment that truly felt like an 18th century pirate fantasy world (I respect egghead and wano & having the cast explore different worlds but they kinda do feel a bit like different genres instead of a notical old world story) this may just be me but I do feel after the skip the world just got so big the early characters kinda got lost
Only 11+ years more to discover what is the best panel of OP. 😂😢😂
I do wish kuinas story was more fleshed out and hopefully in the live action we’ll get that
That final line is so cheesy but so good!
Just for a moment....THE ONE PIECE IS REEEEEAAALLLL
It's just the rain in my eyes.
Raining so much I can't feel my tears.
I now have a sudden urge to play assassin creed blackflag
It's interesting to imagine what could have been if Oda had focused on keeping the cast small and given East Blue characters like Smoker, Tashigi, and Alvida more of a presence in the Grand Line. Maybe they could have shown up in Whiskey Peaks, Mock Town, or even Water 7. But then they would have taken away from the arc-specific characters.
And it is a *spectacular* writing achievement that Oda manages to keep introducing and getting us invested in entire new casts every arc. Not a lot of stories can pull that off.
Yeah I feel the problem is probably the one piece world/story had gotten too big, it’s was no longer a small scale pirate adventure but a grand epic world changing battle so some characters just couldn’t be on the same level/focus for where the story is
@@christopherauzenne5023 Well the whole change the world thing is more of an New World thing, I'd say. Mock Town, Thriller Bark, Whiskey Peaks, and even Alabasta were all still small scale enough for people like Buggy or Smoker. So much so that Smoker played a role in Alabasta. Once we started dealing with Doflamingo and the Yonko, however, the world just got a little too big. What's Alvida going to do next to Gear 4th Luffy?
@@spdewertton yeah "problem" was probably too strong a word. but the point still stands the originally oda thought the series would be done in like 5 or so years but as we know that wasnt the case so he most likely had to change a lot of things for how big the scale was getting (looking early on I assumed the og east blue team would all be facing one on one with the 5 elder stars as the big final fight against the world government but thats changed)
@@christopherauzenne5023 Yeah I see a lot of youtubers bring up the 5 year number. I never read the original interview though. But Oda did specify that it was going to be 5 years, and it would've involved fighting the 4 emperors instead of the 7 warlords in Paradise. Knowing that, it should be safe to assume that Oda had already changed his mind by the time Mihawk was introduced. That was on chapter 49, almost exactly 12 months after One Piece started serialization, and 40 weeks working on a manga gives you *a lot* of time to think about the story.
The games treat smoker like he's always following the straw hats but he's in like...less than 5 arcs
Tbf one piece takes place in a relatively short period of time, the big problem is that smoker falls off and becomes not a threat
Damn. Honestly good criticism of one piece. I’m happy with One Piece as it is now, but it’s true that there was a lot of interesting threads that have been dropped.
well the best part of a mysterious cloak is that it doesn't actually reveal who he is. Maybe when they show his appearance formally he'll look much better
I see what you did there on that ending...
In a way I feel like zoros backstory and his path towards healing from that is kind of purposely put on the backburner by even zoro himself, as he feels that all that matters is that he's strong enough to face whatever comes at him and the crew. I feel like zoro himself isnt allowing those developments to take place.
I kinda think this rush benefited louge town in my opnion,having this quicke fun and memroable adventure that quickly escelated from:one final quick stop before grand line to an escape from almost getting excuted and barely managing to survive with sheer 120% maximum luck all in the span of just 5 chapter is amazing, and in contrast to prevouis arc wich just gotten bigger in scale louge town is a breath of fresh air(i wounder how the live action rendetion will lock like)oda is know for his long arc but i find these short arc to always be nedded not evreything has to be dressrosa or wano(marine ford was only 30 chapters of pay off for a saga and louge town 5 chapter pay off of the proLOUGE saga)
Well moment One Piece ,oda starter and all in pedals
Congrats on the 100 short milestone! Are you going to do the same for the rest?
Man...I hope one day you do the same with Berserk...
4:53 CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER?
You do fucking Great
One Piece is so long and yet somehow so rushed.
Speculation about the end of One Piece is kind of cliché, but I personally hope the last moments harken back to this-a signal that the adventure will continue as long as there are adventurers to go on it, even if the world feels so much smaller after all we've seen and been through.
👏👏👏
♥
What is your opinion of Post time skip character Designs? Especially zoro. It feels like he lost a Lot of personality compared to these early days
They might do worse, but I definitely prefer this format. It lets you explain yourself better.
now about 1013 to go yayy
All the way to egghead
All the way to one piece
fool it was always real
i think oda didn't plan for the story to be this long
You're correct. Oda initially had a five-year plan for One Piece, but when he started fleshing out backstories for the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they revealed more characters and plot threads and the worldbuilding got more and more complicated until it became the saga that it is.
He didn't, but the ending is still the same as he said
A more "darker" enemy? Really, Skyen? This is your kind of puns now? (I laughed)
EDIT: AND one piece is real? I was all emotional from the speech but my internet brain ruined it
I personally never liked Tashigi, so I don't really miss her, and I always celebrate her Ls in the story, LOL. I COULD like her, but I just hate delusional marines with little introspection and awareness of their station, and Tashigi was introduced and reintroduced with a lot of that. She arrogantly claimed she'd retrieve all the shoudai swords, and was naive about the politics of the world gov.
I mean, it doesn't make her bad, but- how do I put this... While the temperaments are different, she's like Bakugou: loudly confident and self assured while working on too little information and looks like an arrogant puppy in the grand scheme. I love Bakugou, but that's cuz he has the screentime to grow as the self awareness is beaten into him. Tashigi doesn't.
I just don't see many redeeming qualities in her; she doesn't even have the charisma or is funny enough to carry where her development is lacking.
... I mean. You know who else declared they would achieve an impossible goal while being completely naive about world politics?
but don't you like store brand Dragonball?
Bleach? Nah, it's not my favourite.
Zorro has the weakest backstory of all the strawhats. Maybe the "fullfill dead friend's dream for them" thing just doesn't resonate with me. It's a very individual dream and Zorro doing it will never be the same as Kuina achieving it.
The gender thing just confuses matters. How are you going to pay off on that? Have Tashigi beat Zorro at the end of the story? Where's the set up for that? Genderbend Zorro so he defeats Mihawk as a women to show the little girls of the world that they can be strong? Kuina was horrified at going through a female puberty. Of how estrogen would be the difference between achieving their dream or not and what it would do to their body. Kuina's story reads like a trans kid who took their own life to escape puberty...like, the fuq? Read between the lines and that's what you get. Either way, I doubt that whole gender aspect to it will actually be addressed or paid off on.
To be fair he was the first Strawhat after Luffy (though Luffy got more added later). There's just not much going on with him and it's shocking that he's not had his backstory developed on like Sanji did. Especially in Wano.
Do you do response videos or videos where you debunk certain people? Because I think I could use your insight on whether or not a CZcamsr I like is being unfair with his opinions.
Eeeh I'd rather not have someone else's fans in my comments yelling at me
@@TBSkyenShorts Fair enough. But could you check out Shadiversity’s “Knight’s Watch” video on Hades 2 and get back to me? Sorry, it just seems like he contradicts your points about Hades 2 and their character designs.
But if that’s impossible I won’t bring it up again, as much as it will pain me I know you’re a busy man. All I can say is, thanks for responding.
regarding “Oda is just a cartoonist/having an unrealistic style” I have to ask, ok and? Can a cartoonist’s art not be something great, does unrealistic suddenly mean bad, Does that suddenly mean it’s not a craft in itself nor can it be used or be elevated to something amazing. It is a craft like any other and it can be art and something great if the hand that makes it tries and is good enough
Oda is one of my favorite manga artist simply because he isn’t just repeating the set manga style, he is taking influence from Japanese manga and classic western cartoons (rubber hose, Tex Avery, looney tunes) to create something new and use the strengths of both to create something more
I dont really know if id consider Tashigi ever being a real rival to zoro even in East Blue
She was always way behind him in skill
It's not too surprising, though disappointing, that two of your three big complaints were basically 'female character gets overshadowed, ignored, and underwritten'. One Piece still has a lot of flaws common to shonen, including treatment of women.
