.One. .Piece. .Skypiea. .Finale. (Ep 193-195)

Alabasta is probably 6 for me on my top 10 - definitely above Skypiea. I was more attached to Vivi and her story though. Vivi will always be a part of the crew.

Matt Haloostock

Its giving funeral

Fatipapi

LMAOO i fully agree w you Cannon, that bell sounds creepy and horrible 😭😂

Fatipapi

I watched Skypiea with out one pace so many times and loved it. I will agree first time one pace watch with the gek boys way better. Skypiea top 5 maybe even 6 for me.

Donduh343

If they watch the snippets of other episodes we recommended, that one peace didn’t include yet, then we are in for some juicy moments at the start of next reaction 😏 (rubs hands)

Marcus D

Also, to be honest I didn’t watch one pace the first time I watched one piece and I liked skypea better. There were some lows (some fights I could care less about) but I never understood the skypea hate forreal. I loved the lore of the story while watching. To this day I’d have skypea over alabasta for me. Neither would be in my top 10 though

Mara

Thank Godddddd yall are watching long ring one pace 😫 lol

Mara

A 7.9 from you Carter is interesting. Going into the arc I thought you would have had it higher.

Marcus D

That’s crazy, I’ve seen so many. It all depends on the social bubble(s) you’re in I guess

Marcus D

gonna be weird asf with no brig

LUFFY'S SHADOW IS GOATED. I can't wait for the next saga! It's one of those milestone sagas. As a staunch Alabasta defender who has it at the number 9 spot, I will say that nostalgia does play a factor because it was the first arc I binged, but it has so many amazing moments. Ace's introduction, Luffy preserving (and later using) Yuba's water, Mr. Prince, everything Crocodile, Luffy's first (and second) true defeat, Vivi's anguish, Usopp standing tall for Luffy's dream, Zoro v Mr. 1, EVERYTHING WITH MR. 2, Luffy finally beating Crocodile WITH HIS OWN BLOOD WHILE NEW WORLD SYMPHONY PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND AND THE RAIN FINALLY FALLING WHILE SIGNALING THE END OF THE WAR AND VIVI'S FAREWELL. I'll defend it to my dying day (except for Pell, good lord)

Rhettoric

G8 is actually really enjoyable and is so fun. Sucks you guys arent gonna watch it, but I completely understand why. Highly recommend watching it on your own time. Its only like 10 episodes too.

Enma

It's better that the Straw Hats thought they stole the loot I think. Let'em think they got away with something. That's why Robin didn't tell them.

Kwisatz

im worried suddenly switching off one pace in w7 is gonna give them the ick. Like they ended up loving skypiea and not much of alabasta cuz of this reason.

Vongola, 10th

I love W7 but I’m kinda scared that we might overhype the arc. We have been calling it peak for the past few arcs and it might set the bar way too high for W7 to actually clear.

Trandon

A new chapter for Geks

Amare D.

I like the bell BECAUSE it’s creepy.

Dani G

another for watching G8

Toidleboy

next saga is going to be peak

kingkoopa98

I’ve never seen anyone with skypeia or alabasta In their top 10😂

Crystal

Well said with water 7 squashing a lot of doubts. I’d say all doubts are mostly squashed by the end of 400s though. Also can you give a hint of the character you’re referring too?😯

Marcus D

🤘

Marcus D

You gotta watch the cover stories to see what happens to Enel.

Vongola, 10th

Japan was polled and it's in their top 3. Personally I've read Alabasta before and it was top 1, not just in the series but any work. It's probably like 9-8 in most peoples rankings tho. Skypiea might not be in most peoples top 10.

Tom

I dont want to dictate how you guys should watch or feel about one piece but I do hope you guys will watch it w/o just wanting to catch up or for the serious parts only (not saying that how you guys are watching it but just in general ) yk just enjoy the ride and the silly goofy characters and moments in the show for what they are. oda has said at the end of the day despite all the dark topics it tackles, he wants op to be a show that will make people laugh, have fun and be happy.

prigumon

No it explains why Luffy doesn't kill not why pirates don't kill, because pirates kill each other all the time.

Tom

They've said that they will

Tom

Jaya 6.5 is criminal.

AV

you mean the Legendary Con D. Oriano??! put some respect on his name

prigumon

I really wish you guys watch G8 it has one of the most running jokes in the One Piece community

Esme Flores

Not better but it is the best filler after op letter

Esme Flores

Anyone see Jack’s side eye when someone said that one thing haha

Vongola, 10th

g8 is way better than long ring in my opinion i hope you guys watch it and it also has some canon moments important for the next arc

Blake

please do one pace for LRLL

prigumon

It’s because we don’t want them wasting weeks of timeslots watching filler and delaying the time to get to water 7. Like g8 is good but that’s something could just be watched on your own time. If geks were binging like most ppl then they could watch it but way the geks watch op rn, its slow

Nonos

I don’t get why people don’t want them to watch G8? Like what’s the rush? It’s going to take too long? The time will pass anyways. They are gonna get to W7 either way, might as well have them watch the most amount of good OP content!

Vongola, 10th

To add on to what others have said about the cover stories/villains there’s a SBS segment from East Blue saga where Oda explains why it seems pirates don’t really kill each other off. It’s still kinda dumb for “villains” but shows an important part of the way Luffy thinks

Gilster

im salty about long ring :( i hope only one week will be wasted on that

Lukash

This is also why it pays to listen to the cadence and emphasis of what they characters are saying. Her repeating of Luffy's name where she goes: "Monkey... D?" should make you take notice!

desolate leng

I think you have missed the point of LRLL if you think that. But I blame Toei's additions here, they do make it hard to spot.

desolate leng

Skypiea is not in my top 18 arcs but I enjoyed it more this time watching it in One Pace. My original ranking (without using One Pace): 1 East Blue Saga Romance Dawn Arc 6.5 Orange Town Arc 6 Syrup Village Arc 6 Baratie Arc 7.5 Arlong Park Arc 9 Loguetown Arc 7 2 Alabasta Saga Reverse Mountain Arc 7 Whisky Peak Arc 7 Little Garden Arc 5.5 Drum Island Arc 9 Alabasta Arc 7 3 Sky Island Saga Jaya Arc 6.5 Skypiea Arc 6.5 -> 7 (One Pace) 4 Water 7 Saga Long Ring Long Land Arc 4 Water 7 Arc 9.5 The following arcs are good, W7 level

Ari

I don't think Alabasta is in anyones top 10 tbh lol

Poragami

hello another day of me advocating for G8 i think i have included it on every comment since coming to Skypiea. it's the ONLY filler worth watching. Also to reexplain from what i think. Enel always meant the moon when he talked about endless Vearth. He basically thought everyone in Skypiea as thinking they were better than those in the blue sea when really they are the same and up where the moon is is the land of the Gods "endless Vearth" and where he belongs. So he was sending Skypiea and everyone on there back to the sea where they belong because the skies belong to the Gods not false God's and "angels."

safaricat

In regards to ur discussions at the end on top 10/ top 5 arcs in one piece. Your about to find out what an S-tier arc of one piece is real soon!!!! Water 7 arc + Ennies Lobby are the first S-teir arcs of the show for many many ppl- Also the first tone shift arc in the series! You are in for a crazy ride brace yourselves cause from here on out one piece snowballs into greatness much quicker than before! Also the next mini arc - foxy is the only canon filler arc of the show - where its literally a sidequest that doesnt link to any other part of the show lmao.

Trznk

I feel like Marineford is super overrated, it is a giga good arc, but not better than Wano or Egghead or even parts of Whole Cake imo

Poragami

At the end of Drum Island arc, there's a subtle but important exchange between Dr. Kureha (Chopper’s mentor) & Dalton. After Dalton shows her Luffy’s wanted poster, she sees the “D” in his name & says she’s relieved to see the “Will of D.” appear again, it reminds her of Roger. But then, Dalton is confused and says, “You mean DOLD Roger?” Then Kureha reponds with: “is that what they call him these days” This moment is not just trivia - it’s a key hint about the mystery of the “D.” initial, showing that it’s mysterious legacy which was recoginised by older generations, became lost among the newer generations - more so publicity change. Its a small but significant detail

Trznk

Dude, filler is not gonna be watched

Poragami

Just here to advocate for G8. It's not canon, but it's the best kind of filler. If you love the Straw Hats and want more time with them, it's worth it. LRLL is also great. There's a constant push for people to skip these, and while G8 isn't canon, LRLL is. You never know when Oda is gonna call back to something. And honestly, you only get so much time with the Straw Hats. It's your reaction, your voyage, enjoy it your way. You only get one first time!

Pepperoni Pony .

esther are you perhaps caught up?

greyxwaren

SO CLOSE TO WATER 7 wake me up after foxy fr bwahaha

Trznk

so did jack the amount of times he did a double take to the camera LMAOOOO

greyxwaren

yeah i think smoker even mentioned how the government developed it to deal with devil fruit pirates and that's how crocodile has his hands on them since he's a warlord and has access to them

greyxwaren

what did jack say at the very end...? he don't wanna.......live?

greyxwaren

also you have to keep in mind when roger came to sky island it was more than 2o years ago, before enel and before the conflict was as intense as it was when straw hats came. sky island was just another island he had to go through to get to the one piece, so he was like a tourists. also, ganfall and sky people don't know anything about blue sea people, so he was just a random guy to them rather than "the king of the pirates" (he didn't even get that title yet to begin with, he was just pirate gol d roger)

greyxwaren

I disagree. The cuts make the highs a lot MORE enjoyable due to the good moments no longer being dragged down and partly hidden by irrelevant and distracting filler moments. There are a few abrupt cuts, but not that many. The only arc where I'd say it's noticeable is the first one they did (Dressrosa), and that arc is such a horrible experience in full Toei version that it's still a huge improvement.

desolate leng

i got the notification yesterday but couldn't watch because it was late for me and i had a dream it was next week and you guys dropped a reaction to that episode lol can't wait till you guys are caught up with us and have you say "there's not enough one piece" we've come so far and skypeia is such a nostalgic arc to look back on from where we are in the story. aside from the crazy foreshadowing, it was romanticism in it's purest form. i feel like it is an arc that encapsulated the idea and theme oda had from the very start. a few years ago i picked up the manga when the anime's pacing was getting too much and reread arcs i had problems with and skypeia was one of them and i had that realization while reading it. can't wait for you to experience the next adventure! SET SAIL!

greyxwaren

yh my one gripe about one piece is that they fake deaths way too much for it to just be dramatic when in actuality it's just bait.

Ninjinzo

That’s cool

Marcus D

It’ll likely be done in 4 drops and it’s canon, so no they really shouldn’t poll.

Marcus D

All of Enel’s cover story is canon.

Marcus D

Yeah, the boys predicted that it was Roger

Marcus D

I liked syrup village too lol but maybe I'm nostalgic. I'm also an usopp fan though. its one of the only times it felt like members were in genuine danger of defeat. That's kind of a perk that early episodes of any anime has tbf.

jblakk

LRLL is what got me into one piece, I remember really liking it

Starkfern

Thanks for the extra drop!🥰 One Pace was a great choice for Skypiea, I definitely enjoyed this rewatch a lot. When I first started, I already loved the show up to this point but W7 Saga cemented OP within my Top 1 to 3 most favorite animes of all time so I hope you'd get to enjoy it a lot as well. I think it would be fine to just use One Pace from the next arc onwards, you're not really missing anything important by doing that and it saves a lot of time.

Quisel

yall really woulda rathered enel just die other than something that could be interesting?

kuza

Of the arcs that you have seen so far, I would definitely put Arlong’s Park and Drum Island over Skypeia, and maybe tied with Jaya and Alabasta.

Michael H

you should watch this filler please

Esme Flores

They skip filler but I wish they’d watch it 😭

Nami Swannn

I will miss Jack’s hesos 💔

Nami Swannn

one of my favorite things about one piece is that feeling of ‘look how far we’ve come’ and I feel like you can even see that now with carter saying how the some of the most insufferable moments seem nostalgic, its so true. the crew have already accomplished so much already just wait till y’all get caught up then you’ll see how high this shit really go

Forth Wanderer

poneglyph discoverys are always HEAT

kuza

I think you guys should make a poll on wether we watch entirely LRLL or only the end of it, i think majority of people on patreon don't want to see your reaction to this arc, i might be wrong tho, and maybe my request is too selfish.

Frozzen Edge

luffy in the clouds is so damn good

kuza

LRLL is the calm before the storm. Embrace the small portion of goofiness before entering 300 episodes of peak.

SavDog23

you guys keep forgetting smoker has sea stone on the end of his weapon

kuza

I wish they did an episode showing Oda’s cover story of Enel’s trip to the moon

Michael H

the realest shit ever

kuza

“I don’t wanna live in an era where I know what the one piece is but I’m not caught up” sooo real Jack😭😭 this is why I’m caught up with the manga now. Like G5 was EVERYWHERE so imagine the one piece reveal lmaooo everyone and their grandmas are gonna know what it is

Nash

The thing about this arc is the pace, I hated it, but it set up most of the lore of one piece, so it is a really good arc! I didn't know about one pace, watching like this made it so much more enjoyable! Also, there is a theory that the gods came from the moon, so that why Enel wated to go there! There is also a cover story that shows Enel reaching the moon, but I don't know how much of it is cannon!

Meruuk

"shanks d luffy" ksnsdkjddks mckay lmao

sil

it's still insane that enel is going to the moon lmaooo

sil

😂

Dasha

alabasta is def not top 10

cozo

If youre doing the long ring long land one pace can you guys at least watch luffy saying the episode title

Benjamin Knock

I'm on episode 366 and will say that there is a lot of good to come. The transitionary period between Skypiea and Water 7 is kind of boring with some funny moments mixed in. Once you are past that though it is a good time for most of Water 7--I'm sure everything will be a lot more enjoyable with One Pace as well. I'm not sure if I prefer Alabasta or Skypiea, but I definitely prefer Water 7 over both of them. To me, Water 7 is when the show really finds its footing--any doubts you have about the show will be squashed during Water 7. You also get to meet one of my favorite characters!

Riley

Gan Fall actually said in the beginning of the arc that he knew a pirate who came years ago

Nat_off

EB already I mean after that 1 chapter I'll agree

EmlovesOP

my fav filler arc

Jasmin☆

Favourite Arcs: 1) Marineford 2) Marineford 3) Marineford 4) Sabody Archipelago 5) Others (Also, I encourage to continue using one pace for the arcs you're currently going through, at least till end of thriller bark.)

Ali

One piece exists for the after parties. Next after party is a rager

Benjamin Knock

watch G8 mini arc right after this ^ 100% worth

Toidleboy

It has zero bearing on the flow of the story lol they're just gonna be dropping from the octopus balloon again with zero references to this filler arc.

Zess

same!!

Dasha

I would put all post time arcs (except for FMI) and W7, EL, SBD, MF, PMF above Skypiea. Skypiea is like 13 for me.

Neant

One Pace is an interesting thing because it basically improves the lows of the show (bad pacing) while also decreasing the highs (due to the abrupt and akward cutting). In the end both ways are fine and what you choose to continue, both ways are fine. But remember in the end that One Pace is still a fanedit and thus some scenes are just not cut that well and rather amteurish due to the anime format. It does improve on pacing but it also introduces a lot of rather awkward scene cuts.

menofhorror

idk if spoiling arcs is really nice. Like the way you talked about your top 1 is eh (what is that edit LOL)

Nope

Ranking the 10 sagas, I'd personally go like 1. Yonko Saga (Japan/Entire Pie/Elephant) 2. Spain (hot take) 3. Apex Conflict 4. Final Saga 5. Aquatic number that ate nine/Court Saga 6. Skypiea 7. Alabasta 8. Michael Jackson Woof 9. East Blue 10. Seamonkeys Area

Gorira Kujira

There were some things said in this reaction that made me 👀 Anyway, thanks for the final drop! I really enjoyed your reactions to Skypiea, and seeing how much yall enjoyed it, esp Kalgara and Noland's backstory, makes me happy because that essence is what op is all about and I know for a fact you're going to enjoy the next big sagas!

T

happy we got thru skypeia!! i cant wait for the next arc :)

Saint

Finishing Mob Psycho and Skypiea on the same day, goated drops

Gorira Kujira

Thanks for the big drop! and congrats on finishing skypiea! Its a lot of fun to see you guys share your opinions on all things One Piece, im super excited to see how your thoughts form and change as the series goes on. At this point in One Piece I had Alabasta and Skypiea at the same rating, and the whole show at like an 8.5, but now its my second favorite of all time and I spend most of my free time making youtube videos about it. Don't know if its because a sunk-cost fallacy or not, but it has truly become a light in my life and I always tell everyone who's Pre-episode 350ish that they will eventually be a life long fan if they catch up!!! Heres to future Gek One Piece!

Niko

It’s not gonna be an xtra week. There’s 6 One Pace episodes for LRLL. Which will be more than a week. If they pace it out at 2 One Pace episodes a week like most of Skypiea then it’s gonna be 3 extra weeks. Which is why I wanted them to skip it. A few laughs and one important character introduction isn’t worth 3 weeks of time imo. I was with the idea of letting Jack recap and then they pick it up from The end where the character gets introduced.

Jose Flores

I completely agree. I watched it without One Pace originally and had a lot of fun with it. I enjoyed it and Sasori was the only annoying part for me. But that’s just a character I disliked and it doesn’t ruin the arc for me.

Jose Flores

The only arc you guys have seen in my top 10 is Jaya at 10th :)

Nope

if yall wanna learn what happens to the villians you should really check out the cover stories. thats where oda tends to reveal what happened to the villians after the straw hats left. theres one for axehand, buggy, hachi, croc, and enel sadly the only ones animated were the koby/axehand one and the buggy one youd have to read them to learn what happens in the rest

Dylan Roy

G8 is so good, without it the flow of the story in the anime feels weird anyways. I would recommend you guys to watch it, its not that much anyway. Soon 1 year at that speed its maybe possible that One Piece would end before you guys catched up ye.

High Village

18:04 drums??

TrueCrisp

I swear every arc gets better and better as you watch this show. I will be so depressed when One Piece ends, you don't even know. These are my top ten arcs without spoiling the names except for the ones you have watched or know already, only using emojis 1. W 🥷🌸 2. EH 🥚👨‍🔬 3. EB🧍‍♂️🗡️ 4. Marineford (SB, AML, IMD) 5. WCI 🎂🧁 6. DR 💃🏾🧸 7. Water7 (EL) 8. Alabasta 9. Thriller Bark 10. Skypiea

Nanami's Wife

Once one piece puts all the pieces together at the end it's going to be crazyyyyy

Hector

G8 it's such a good filler we won't see 😔

Hector

I watched skypeia in the original version and loved it. 95% of one piece fans have watched it in the original version and almost every fan I've met in person loved the arc as well. The only critics I ever saw were from people online and the same critics were the ones loudest in the comments. While watching it, I only had a problem with pacing with one part but it didn't as much bother me. So in my eyes One Pace doesn't make the arc better, because the arc was already incredibly good on it's own. It simply just improves the pacing. You can argue that that's what made the arc better, but for me personally if an arc has great storyline, not even the pacing could make me hate it or dim it down. Sure, I'll get annoyed but it won't change my opinion on a great arc. Maybe I'm just used to long animes now that pacing doesn't necessarily bother me unless I don't like what I'm watching.

Nanami's Wife

I think the reason why you guys enjoyed this more than Alabasta is because you guys watched it in one pace which significantly improves the pacing. Hot take but I think you guys should continue with one pace. But Water 7 is going to be insane, one of the best arcs in anime imo.

GBuckets

i hope they gonna let the people vote, i bet for some arc the people would vote for One Pace after the Skypean Experiment went well, or they let Jack decide

Ghedo

i want you guys to skip long ring long land so badly and get right into w7 and its the only canon thing in the entire show i would ever reccomend skipping, but i also get watching it. Waiting an extra week to get into w7 tho is painfulllll

Mamox

Plz watch G8 filler <3

Jordan Mowrer

Drum Island into Jaya into Skypiea has been clean. I watched the Skypiea movie a few years ago with 0 context so next arc will be the furtherst I've ever seen into OP

Matthew Valentine

They said they’ll do One Piece week at some point in the future. Not sure what it means in detail, but what it sounds like is that we’ll at least have one episode every day for 7 days lol

Rayanh LaNansha

guy we need another long one piece stream/watch party

YoItsNiko

I love G8. It's one of the best filler arcs I watched, just a classic funny lil meme arc. Sad we won't get to see you guys react to it, but I'm way more excited for your reaction to LRLL and of course W7

Nanami's Wife

Thanks for the triple drop!!

Kwisatz

That’s because there are only 10 one piece sagas Ryker, lol you cheeky 😂😭

Marcus D

I would love that lol

Marcus D

it sucks one piece doesn’t do cover story episodes anymore because the ones they did do didn’t get much viewership

Ryker

While it seems like the resolutions of OP enemies are never showed they actually are in the cover stories of the manga. They show what happens to Enel after his defeat and what he does after. All you need to do is search up "one piece enel cover story" and you can see his resolution. Cover stories are always interesting because it shows that time and the world of one piece keeps going even when the strawhats aren't there and many of them do tie back in to the main story as well.

Jude

all of the arcs you guys have watched are comparable to building blocks for the one piece story so they cant be held with complete context just yet

Ryker

personally even one pace skypiea isn’t in my top 10 arcs but it is in my top 10 sagas

Ryker

stay in onepace its fine it helps ur enjoyment

christopher aquino

One thing I never put together until now that I think is an interesting parallel, is how in the past the Shandians worshipped their God and made human sacrifices to appease him until Nolan kills this God (the snake) and sets them free, but then in the present the Skypieans are also in a cycle of making human sacrifices to their God (Enel) until Luffy comes in to defeat this God and set them free as well. Obviously the parallel is presented pretty blatantly with the past and present of the sacrificial alter but I found it interesting thinking of the whole story in context and how far the parallels run.

Nick K

The trademark of filler arcs is the main characters getting pushed around in dumb ways, and that is constantly happening in LRLL and it's super annoying. Also you know who is probably the most unlikable character in the entire show. I'll take Mr. Balls himself Sasori over him

Nick K

It shocks me that so many people hate LRLL. I loved it I thought it was hilarious. It did piss me off though because they let some sorry ass pirate group get the best of them at some points

Franina

Also by going to the moon he has all of that wearth to himself, on earth he would have to share it with billions of people which wouldn't be a very godly goal.

Mahti

Are u guys watching One Pace for the rest of the show also? Or just some parts of the show, because the pacing gets worse.

Jonas Teigen

I like to think when One Piece ends there will be a post arc celebration irl

Alex Ruple

they rlly shouldn’t

An

Overall the majority of the fanbase has Alabasta over Skypiea, pretty sure most of the Geks would have a different opinion had they used One Pace for Alabasta

Mahti

No there's others in the comments that are excited for it. I personally HATE it. I may just stop watching reactions until the last LRLL episode.

Jose Flores

I’m glad yall enjoyed Skypiea overall! Def top 3 arcs for me. I think ppl put Alabasta over it cuz they connect more to the side characters (like Vivi), and they like Crocodile as a villain more. About Enel, he didn’t change his goal, it was always to go to the moon aka endless Vearth. It was easy to assume that’s the blue sea, but why do you think he built a flying ship when there’s ways of getting down to the blue sea in normal ships? He wanted to destroy Skypiea because of his god complex, stating that it’s only a place for the Gods and humans don’t belong up there but only down below. That’s also why he destroyed his OG island. Ultimately he lost to Luffy so he decided to just leave quietly while he still can and at least achieve his one goal. Enel has a bunch of cover stories that follow him if y’all want to look into them (there’s huge theories that have spurred from them and recent manga events keep adding onto them). The manga cover stories are a huge way Oda communicates what other characters are doing outside of the main crew. I believe at this point in the story, you would’ve been following an Ace cover story of him looking for his ex-crew mate that he mentioned back on Alabasta. Also, Carter offhandedly said smth CRAZY 😭 just need to wait 1000 episodes to see it 🙂‍↕️

Nami Swannn

anyone knows if they are using one pace for water 7 and enies lobby?

Dasha

In best case scenario it's going to take 2 weeks (there's 2 longer episodes and 4 relatively short). But I feel like we are going to watch LRLL for 3 weeks anyway

Dasha

They should watch it at the start of the arc for continuity purposes.

Marcus D

Am I the only one who's genuinely excited for LRLL? Either they will have a good laugh or just straight up hate it. Don't take it too seriously guys it's supposed to be a fun mini arc, and I think it has some of the best comedy. Also we're getting updated animation!

Mahti

Including a bit from ep 225 might seem a bit too far in advance but for some reason the anime just decided to reshuffle some bits to mix in with filler. But that timeframe I highlighted is the last scene of the skypiea arc in the manga.

Marcus D

Crocodile was resolved. Smokers assistant arrested him. The one that looks like Zoros friend said he's stripped of his Warlord status and is under arrest.

Kwisatz

Thank you so much for the triple drop! Yeah, a bunch of the scenes in the final half of the last episode are filler becasue they lead into the filler arc. Including the scene where Usopp puts dials on the keel... Someone said to me once that while Alabasta is the first saga to really expand the One Piece world, Skypiea is the first to really expand its history. But there are a lot of great things going on in this arc, I think. One of the most impactful things said in this arc IMO was how the Skypieans were spiritually weakened by guilt because of their own complicity in tricking people to be sacrificed. Being forced to do what you know is evil while being told that it is right, psychologically that must be excrutiating. And part of the prison that was built for them. Which they were constantly forced to reinforce themselves. On a more personal character level, I love how the discovery of Roger's writing affected Robin. Her smile when regaining her purpose! This gets a little lost in the anime, but both this final party scene and the one before that uses the same drumbeat, the "dondo-to-to, dondo-to-to" which becomes very obvious if you read the manga (and know katakana, I don't know how the translations do it): https://i.imgur.com/FlXZZK3.gif When Robin says "rio poneglyph", the actual kanji read "true history text". Maybe kind of obvious, but I still wanted to mention it. I actually love the way that bell sounds, but it's definitely an eerie, otherworldly sound. It IS meand to guide the spirits of the dead, after all...

desolate leng

People have already said this multiple times, but I want to remind you Geks to watch from 4:30 to 8:40 of episode 207 and 2:06 to 3:09 of episode 225. This is manga canon content, and it’s important. You can just put these scenes in at the beginning of an episode in the LRLL arc, but watch these scenes before episode six at least, which is the last one in the arc.

Marine Piece!!!

Just in case, one last reminder that before starting the next arc (LRLL), please watch the regular one piece episode 207 from 4:30 to 8:40 and episode 225 from 2:06 to 3:09(on Crunchyroll). They have manga canon scenes from the end of Skypiea that one pace hasn’t included yet.

Marcus D

I mean Enel is the first to leave the world of One Piece and travel to the Moon. Chad Vibes

Strawbeary

This is really the last moment he pulls something like this tho if I remember correctly. There isn't another fake out death after this arc that bothered me this much again. I'm only at WCI so I don't know if it will happen again but so far it hasn't

wanira 11

Agreed and that is probably one of my only big problem with one piece

Nope

Oda is a bum 😭 nothing would’ve been lost had he let ppl like Connie’s dad die 😭 im still hung up on Pell surviving that bomb and it’s been decades… Imo that’s definitely a huge weak point in the series. Not because a series needs death to be considered good, but it lessens the stakes every time there is some sort of sacrifice/death cuz you doubt if he will stick to it.

That’s a cool story, thanks for sharing. Idk if I’ll go into depression but the other week I thought about the story ending and yeah, I’ll probably cry when it ends.😂 And fyi I’m not really the type to cry about stuff like that.

Marcus D

When One Piece ends… yeah, the depression will be real. When Attack on Titan ended I cried the whole night. I was actually on vacation in Rome at the time, and we had plans to visit the Vatican on November 5. We'd booked the tour and everything. But the final episode aired on November 4, and instead of going to bed after watching it we ended up going to a bar and spending the whole night there just crying and talking about the show. When I got home, I wanted to see how other people were feeling about the final episode and that’s how I found the Studio Gek channel and got into anime reaction videos (I've seen some one piece reactions before that but didn't follow any reactor on a regular basis). Still I’m genuinely scared of what it’ll feel like when One Piece ends and can't imagine something that will be able to fill that void

They should just get it from Viewing the cover story, which is where the wiki gets the info from.

Marcus D

Just the other day I was thinking about make this same comment. I think it’s a good way to give the geks a decent gauge. This is how I rank all 9 currently completed sagas in terms of fondness/liking.(only showing the sagas the geks have seen/started watching): 1. 2. Water 7 3. Skypiea 4. 5. Alabasta 6. 7. East Blue 8. 9. -Not including the current and final saga because it hasn’t finished -FYI a saga is a collective of multiple arcs contributing to one overall sub story in the series, for example: Alabasta saga= starts at laboon arc and continues until the end of the alabasta saga.

Marcus D

Wohoo!! I can finally say that after all these years, I still love Enel's character Yahahahaha

Peak piece!

At the very least, let them know about our new crew member, Condoriano!

ethblade

It was to me but on rewatch, not so much.

JeanJean

It's a little disappointing that Oda doesn't have the courage to kill off even some minor characters. Takes away a lot of the intensity and suspension of disbelief. I'm ok with there not being many, but when you give a character a scene where he explicitly sacrifices himself, bringing him back ruins that.

JeanJean

Totally agree. I dunno if I’m gonna even watch their reactions to LRLL. I just absolutely don’t care for it. Outside of the very end of it.

Jose Flores

I don’t remember the begining of it. I do remember the Afros lol

Rayanh LaNansha

There is a little over 30 arcs and my top 10 One Piece arcs aren't anything y'all have seen yet. So if we were to rank the 11 sagas instead, naming only the ones you have seen or heard about, my ranking goes: 1. Last One Piece saga 2. smtg you haven't seen (🥷🌸) 3. The one Marineford is in 4. Water 7 5. smtg you haven't seen (💃🏽🦩) 6. Thriller Bark 7. smtg you haven't seen (🎂) 8. Skypiea 9. Alabasta 10. East Blue 11. smtg you haven't seen (🧜‍♀️🧜‍♂️)

Rayanh LaNansha

also in case you actually wanna know the lore about the shandians , skypians(and Birka) and why they all have wings you should let jack read the one piece wiki entry about the moon(https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Moon) and give you a quick rundown it's extremly fascinating and not gonna get animated

SeCo D. Raw

Thanks Geks! Worst arc in the history coming up.

Gold is metal found/taken from the earth so technically the bell chime is the Vearth signing☺️🙏

Marcus D

I’ve always felt that way too lol. Why hope a non deserving character dies just for your entertainment/an emotional pull. For evil/cruel characters it’s different of course. One piece still has plenty of other Hervey stakes to balance it out in my opinion and the characters who get defeated instead of dying usually make a noticeable change in their lives to some extent after the fact, which to me means the beating/defeat(instead of death) still has lasting impact(at least mentally) and doesn’t make their survival meaningless.

Don’t spoil the cover story bro, they’ll get to them at some point. Please delete all of that out.

Marcus D

skypiea is a really good arc ties to the story extremely well especially in endgame but fundamentally it just doesnt compete with other top tier op arcs in any shaper or form, i dont think i could put skypiea over most of the arcs especially the longer ones coming up but at this point of the story its definitely up there.

Nic_

I’ve always had skypiea in my top 10-8 arcs and alabasta probably isn’t even in my top 15. This is from watching the whole show in original one piece. I think how people rate one peice arcs depends on what things the arcs have that appeal specifically to each person as each arc is pretty different. For example I love the skypiea saga for the themes of unknown adventure based on legend and deep lore you’re not sure is true, as well as hidden lands in the sky. Not to mention proving people wrong who heavily doubted something you strongly believe.

Marcus D

Water 7 saga is about to blow you guys mind, I cannot wait to witness it with y'all. It is everything Carter wants and more, I wish you would just start It right way but maybe its better to watch something wholesome before getting into it 😭

Zoro’s Enma!

and yeah as many said already, if you wanna know what up with enel and the moon you should check out the enel cover story since it's not gonna get animated

SeCo D. Raw

lmao just yesterday I was discussing with my friend how Enel went to the moon and we made a huge one piece theory based on this fact, but I can't share anything cause all of it is a spoiler 😂

Dasha

Hegataro

whoever said skypia is not in his top10 skipped it or fell asleep during it (top3 for me personally)

SeCo D. Raw

oda needs something between jjk ruthlessness and his mickey mouse clubhouse tendencies

Esther

Personally, Alabasta is in my top 5 arcs pre ts but I'll admit there's a lot of nostalgia involved in this rating. I binged the hell out of it as a kid + Crocodile was such a charismatic villain

Forth Wanderer

Personally I’ve always loved skypeia, I’ve heard some fairly big names in the community like Best Guy Ever say it’s their favorite of all time, but I’ve also heard people hate on it for years as well. I’m excited for Long Ring Long Land though, nice fun and silly, and then we get into the real meat and potatoes.

Nick

Appreciate you all so much for these reactions and videos. One Piece is such a journey and in a lot of ways, rewatching the show through your reactions feels like I’m watching you all, as a new crew, set sail to explore the Grand line with all its islands, storms, hopes and dreams.

Jiji

can't wait for W7 for real

Ari

anyone knows if they gonna check out enels coverstory?

Kenji

Really curious to see LRLL since I don't remember any of it lol

ahmad

For reference in case u do watch it- its at minute 5:20-8:40 in the episode💜

Veronia

couldnt have said it better

Kenji

really that good??? 🤯

Kenji

Oooh baby a triple drop! Thankyou Geks! I'd just like to add some thoughts regarding Carter's thoughts about maybe burning out towards the end of the arc with the fighting. Personally for me I think that in a lot of cases the fights are the least interesting part of one piece. But I think that just shows how good the story actually is, so many anime rely heavily on fight scenes as their bread and butter. My favourite part of each arc without a doubt is the start and finish, when we are learning more about the world and resolving the plot points.

Keanu Cullen

Random but who saw the preview for next week one piece episode? 😮‍💨 saw a new preview that was released today and damn

Mitch

It’s by far my biggest issue with one piece.

Mitch

Minus a minor mini-arc at the start, very early on into the next arc made me realise 1. how attached I was to the characters and the show, and 2. That one piece was my favourite show. The next arc fucking COOKS. The way I'd describe it is everything gets elevated to the next level. As in the plot, the world building, the character's connections, the fighting, the artstyle, the setting, the emotions, your understanding of the verse as a whole. This is where everything clicks for me, it is bouta be fireeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee The animation of current one piece is impossible to beat and the artstyle they have rn is really good, but the artstyle of the next arc is maybe my favourite in all of one piece and the one that's the most 'One piece' to me. All the characters and the setting and everything looks so good in it

Shaun V

That shot of Luffy's shadow in the sky was so powerful

saDbo

I think someone’s mentioned it before- but episode 207 has cannon scenes from the manga that aren’t included in the one pace eps coming up, if you’d like to watch it 💕💜 Can’t wait to start w7 with yall!!!

Veronia

ya know this is a hot take but I have kinda warmed up to the fact that oda doesn’t really kill any characters, you really don’t see that in any other story. there was one time I was hoping a character would die recently in the manga bc I felt like it would wrap up their character arc well (and oda does take more liberties with death later on in the story) but at the end of the day I thought about what I was doing, I’m literally hoping a character dies. and even though they’re fictional it almost still doesn’t feel right to wish that. I also have a theory that oda might have a story explanation as to why characters don’t die as much but thats a whole otha can o worms

Forth Wanderer

Omg the scenes with robin hit so different nowadays wtf

Isaiah

Thank you for the big drop! :D

Super Novice

I have alabasta at at like 9th or 10th on my arc list, skypeia is not on there. One Pace could have made this arc more enjoyable for u guys cuz they cut away alot of the anoying parts of it like luffy in the snake and satori fight and stuff

Anton Sakshaug

Pls tell me yall are gonna watch one pace for LRLL arc this Thursday and then start Water 7 next week 😩😩😩

Nash

This whole trend of faking a character's death for shock value is so frustrating. It’s clear they want the drama and emotional impact, but still want a feel good ending and instead of finding a clever way to do both, they just bring the character back with a lazy "surprise, they're alive!"

JayCnY

Enels epilogue is in a cover story that is fully canon if you want to know im sure the comments will tell you. He was just sinking skypiea cause hes a dick pretty much , he just came there to build his ship due to the gold being there. His goal since he left his sky island before he got to skypiea originally has been to make it to the moon. The rewatch does make this much more clear though I will say

Isaiah

Luffy laugh always gets me skypiea u are loved. I am excited what’s to come where u guys will see things really moving in the world

Jeb

Close to PEAK OF PEAKS

Zipzzty

You guys should def look at Enels Cover Story from the manga, it has no spoilers and isn't covered in the Anime despite being canon and pretty important in the longrun Also as for one of the questions that came up, Enels goal was always the Moon or "Fairy vearth" as he calls it. He needed the Skypians and Gold to build the Maxim to get there, thats why he was so interested in becoming "god" of skypia and taking Shandora. Once the Maxim was completed his reason for staying in Skypia was finished, but instead of leaving quietly he decided to destroy the island and try out his new toy cause he's always on a power trip

Vincent S Deluca

I personally liked alabasta more than skypiea, but I never watched it one pace so idk.

Juan Avila

Enel loses all his aura when you realizes everyone in the arc tanked his attacks 😭
