.One. .Piece. .Skypiea. 1 (Ep. 152-153)

Comments

I really love Skypiea, it's conclusion and how everything made sense at the end. But honestly I CAN'T WAIT for you to finish this arc and begin the next one... The arc following Skypiea is my favorite arc of One Piece so far and I'm sure it will stay in my top 3. It has emotion, epic moments, unexpected ones too... and I believe it marked history in the One Piece journey. I'm really excited for what's next !!!

Skypiea is one of my favourite arcs and apparently that is a very polarizing take in the OP community since there's a whole group of people who completely skip it 😭. To me, this arc captures the spirit of adventure in OP,,,it feels a lot like your textbook pirate story with exploring a new island that has its own custom and cultures, investigating legends, looking for lost treasures etc. It's an arc that feels quite isolated from the rest of the story (hindsight goes crazy on it tho), but it's still some great storytelling and I absolutely LOVE its conclusion. Having said all that, I can't wait for y'all to enter the next big arc after it LOL. That arc feels like the culmination of Oda's improvement in his writing up until that point and he absolutely delivers. For now tho, enjoy Skypiea (also will you be watching the G8 arc after it? Ik its filler but the episodes have a lot of charm to them I always suggest anime watchers who skip filler to watch it!)

Nami Swannn

sanji's "man talk about being worthless" hits hard now

MrP

youtube people will hate us for making you watch one pace lol

"imagine if elbaf ate a devil fruit"

MrP

Am I the only one who didn't advocate for One Pace? 🥲

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

When the arc is done y'all can search stuff up cause Oda does answer some questions about the islands and creatures

Amare D.

like heaven's gate and the boat is like brig said and the creatures that weigh thousands of pounds have to adapted to be lighter and the fish idk it's probably because they were in the sky for so long so like thin air and the environment, they had to adapted to

Amare D.

Imperial Cumulus: Skypiea resides upon an enormous, ancient formation of solidified clouds, known as an Imperial Cumulus

Amare D.

This is how stuff stay on skypiea

Dressrosa needs to be watched in one pace

Thanks guys for choosing One Pace for Skypiea. I really appreciate it.

Marine Piece!!!

One piece has never taken long breaks until 2024

MrP

Heh, I'm liking this whole discovering new islands with new sceneries and cultures and unique stuff about them. One Piece does a pretty good job at that, y’all still have so many interesting places to discover! I’m excited!

AHH can’t wait to watch after work 😭😭

*pegasus shadow* Geks: "That's so si..." *pegasus reveal* Geks: "okay..." That was funny af, typical One Piece tomfoolery.

Ante

cant wait to see eminem

kuza

The first rewatch of one piece is almost as good as the blind watch imo

Marcus

@ Mob, apparently one pace just finished the second last episode and only have one left to do, which maybe done by the time the boys reach it, so that’ll be interesting.

Marcus

This was fun to watch again, i don’t know why, but more than anything else watching this last ep with you guys felt like I’m experiencing this arc for the first time all over again. Hope you all enjoy! This is peak adventure one piece!

Marcus

You’re right poor pacing and short attention span isn’t mutually exclusive but in the case of one piece it is just bad pacing

Trandon

I’m not a fan cause I feel like some of the filler adds to the characters and I love all the gag moments. But they are right about it not being loyal to the manga. Toei was always fighting to not be too ahead of the manga. Thus a lot of filler.

TT1000

Jack is the Goat!

psychotaco343

Thank yall for the drop we dont deserve it after all the comments dissing yall on the last OP reaction. As we can see they had the post discussion after 152 yall need to chill and just not comment, even if they didnt have the discussion in general no reason to make it seem like there attacking you. The Gek boys have a life too! Also stay healthy Cannon eat some Meat!

psychotaco343

Oh of course. All the long shows back then stretched content in the actual episodes particularly the big 3. One piece kinda the poster boy tho. A “slow” Naruto episode would adapt ~1 chapter but they were usually more. Where’s one piece has stretch’s where it’s 1 or less per episode for an arcs duration. Everyone hates on filler arcs and they are obviously used to make money but it was useful to the long ongoing shows and if ur a massive fan just offers more content or otherwise easy to skip. The other option is hiatus like one piece is currently on which definitelyy has its benefits

Shadow

You know how good it feels to be in the know!

TT1000

IMO the first couple episodes of Skypiea also doesn’t need One Pace. I heard One Pace doesn’t fully cover Skypiea and stops around 185

Mob

?

Marcus

There was no break

shlumlord

Naruto shippuden stretched out a lot of canon material too. Some epsiodes barely did a chapter. Pireot didn’t adapt a lot per ep during that orochimaru hunt arc.

Marcus

Aniamtion changes can happen at any time. Around the time this episode aired, other anime look so much better than this, the improvement in animation already existed but Toei decided to evolve again at this point. Just like how episode 918+ had such a clear upgrade from 917

Marcus

Try not to name drop backstories in the future. You have good intentions but the less they know, the better.

Marcus

WE MADE IT

shlumlord

One of the things i love about skypiea the most is the adventure aspect of discovering and exploring the sky island. Its cool because all previous islands are things we intuitively know from our own world but this arc feels like the first true exploration for the viewer.

sesaka

But the difference between jaya and skypiea here might just be the one pace editors upscaling the raw video

sesaka

Not really, there was pretty much always a week between each episode. But after each major arc they traditionally try to upgrade somehow or get a new director/style on it. So each big arc feels a lil different animation/quality wise

sesaka

That's my fav part of this arc 🙌🏻

Ari

Yessss! One Pace🔥🔥🔥

Lily

Most backstories have really good pacing in my opinion, even some after timeskip, they should def see all the backstoriey normally

Fatima

To be honest, if you guys watch the entire Skypiea arc on One Pace now, the next arcs will feel even more dragged out than usual. In my opinion, One Pace isn’t really necessary for most of the Skypiea arc, except for the fights, thats where it draggs alot.

Fatima

Apparently it wasn’t, it was just ep 153 with 2mins cut.

Marcus

Brig’s clocking on to speaking some good Japanese 🧠🗣️🔥

Marcus

Finally to the Sky! Two of the funniest moments in all of one piece happen in this arc. Cant wait

Vega

The two can live together. One Piece is badly paced because of Toei's refusal to do filler arc. People with short attention span hate it and heavily requested One Pace.

jrnoodles

Sorry this is not one piece related but does anyone know if the gek boys have talked about continuing their reactions to other studio ghibli movies? like nausicaa, Castle in the sky and porco rosso? Im so sad i dont see almost anyone reacting to them even doe they are absolutely beautiful movies :(

JackSparrow

By next major arc you mean only W7 right because that one maybe doesn't need it but the connecting arc after definitely does imo

HeavenlyR

It has nothing to do with attention span. That's just one of the downside of being very long continuous anime. When anime gets closer to the source material they either take a break and let the source material get ahead again (lost of seasonal anime), make lots of filler (such as in og Naruto and Bleach), or slow down the pacing (One Piece). OG Naruto had a filler percentage of 41% and bleach ~45&. One Piece has a filler percentage of 9% but has bad pacing especially arcs that were starting to catch up to the source material. That's why pacing in one piece is so slow because instead of taking a break or making filler they just drag out as much as they can to prevent from catching up to the source material. It has nothing to do with attention spans its just factual that a lot of the one piece anime is very poorly paced. Seasonal anime which are usually well paced adapt 2-3 chapters an episode compared to One Piece's 0.5 so you'll be getting 4-6 times source content from a seasonal anime than from a one piece episode. Only recently has it changed with one piece taking a 6 month break this doesn't just allow for better production of the anime and allow the manga to get ahead again but may also result in better pacing of the anime when it returns.

Jude

There is a flashback in this arc which is really good, its from the eps 187 - 189, please watch it normally🙏🏼

Fatima

Wow, I'm shocked that was 2 regular eps condensed for the Skypiea One Pace ep. It flowed pretty well. I can't even tell what parts they cut out

Matt Haloostock

Dressrosa was not okay at time and neither was wano. Manga only readers are confused when you say fishman island wasnt good and punk hazard was boring. Post time skip pre wano animation revamp is one pieces low point and theres nothing wrong with admitting its faults, after all its only the anime and not the cannon story

Benjamin Knock

On that note I can't wait for them to react to some of the One Piece movies. A lot of cool fights and great animation especially from the newer ones.

Jude

Trandon, you're saying the story (in anime) doesn't progress fast enough... literally attention span 101.

jrnoodles

im talking about the visual quality

Kite

Thank GOD. The og One Piece pacing for this arc had me gripping the floor when it’s actually such a good arc when manga accurate.

april 🍏

Naruto and one piece anime’s differ a lot on how they deal/dealed with not catching up to the manga. Naruto usually went with fillers that’s why u are allowed to skip so many episodes but one piece usually doesn’t take the filler route and instead opt to slow the pace wayyy down. Not even full chapters are always adapted where it’s usual to do like 3,4,5 or even more chapters a single episode in new anime’s. So u can’t exactly “skip” the extra fluff the anime adds to not catch the manga as easy as when it’s full filler episodes. Thats why one pace is just a big thing. So short answer the amount of filler is definitely way worse is Naruto but it is way easier to skip and doesn’t impact the actual pace of the show as much

Shadow

They are watching one pace which is a fan edit cutting out a lot of the filler, so that may be the reason for some weird transitions

Mamox

Yeppers!

GreetswithJudgement

You can stop watching One Pace when you get to the main backstory if you want. The pacing picks up from there.

Boban

Appreciate it 🙏🏼

Brig Andrus

glad you like it 😂 also looking forward to that next upload as well

no worries

YOU GUYS ARE ONE PACING THIS? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS PLEASE DONT ONE PACE THE NEXT MAJOR ARC, BUT THIS IS A GOOD IDEA FOR SKYPIEA! SORRY IM YELLING

Mamox

Bro it has nothing to do with attention span, One Piece's later arcs are just factually poorly paced if you compare the amount of chapters being adapted per episode. The average chapter to episode ratio for the average anime is 2-3:1 depending on what's being adapted. But One Piece's worst arc in terms of pacing (of course anime only) has some episodes that have a chapter to episode ratio of 0.5:1 which is unheard of. Edit: I would also like to mention that the arc mentioned before has more episodes than chapters with a ratio of 0.86:1

Trandon

was there a big pause in the anime between those two episodes? asking because of the higher quality of the image (first time watching one piece)

Kite

I am so happy you are doing this :D

nicolas stano

End of jaya to beginning of Skypiea is an insane run with info dump of Jaya and constant new and trippy stuff coming in in Skypiea. Also, first arc of One Piece is called Romance Dawn. It is a prevalent theme in One Piece. Bug and beetle collecting is a big thing in Japan afaik and it is what inspired Pokemon

kaan

Aslong as it does not take out the jokes and the one piece of it I don't mind

christopher aquino

Thanks, Jack!

Mauricio

Wow, this is pure joy for me. the excitement of starting a new arc, the misterys ahead and the unending felling of wanting to know what's next is amazing. That is One piece, worldbuilding and storytelling like no other. I love this show so much <3

Mauricio

That pfp is insane😂

Studio Geck

One Pace 🔥 Glad to see you guys trying it out, it will definitely pay off more and more as you progress through the arc. Cannon sounds rough but he is committed. Hope he can find the time to rest up and recover ♥️

ahmad

The current anime of one piece that you’ve heard everyone rave about is fine in its original form though, and that’s around episode 918 onwards.

Marcus

It is soooo nostalgic, I was smirking so much when they hit the knock-up stream and the music kicked in. I’m living for this rewatch

Jackson Carter

I feel you on watching in it’s original form, Carter. You guys shouldn’t do one pace the rest of the pre time skip but as big of a fan of the anime that I am, the majority of the post time skip needs it. It can be such a slog due to the animation studio, pre time skip is fine though.

Marcus

I honestly love it, really makes things more unique

Jackson Carter

Good to know!

Brig Andrus

You like?

Brig Andrus

Fyi, im not advocating for one pace, was just answering Brig’s question

Marcus

Its worth noting the that breathtaking world of one piece included a lot of visuals/islands from filler and movies too

Marcus

All one pace does is splice, cut, edit music placement and does their own translations. So nothing else like animation or visual quality changes. Everything you see is how it looked when it aired. The translations aren’t that great to be honest.

Marcus

DR is one of my favorite arcs, but the anime pacing is terrible, and having to watch only one episode per week was a struggle at the time. One Pace is quite faithful to the manga pacing.

Crimson Fire

just watched that episode and it was actually so amazing wtf

Riley

Alright lets see how one pace holds up and if it can redeem itself from the arlong blunder

Zess

True, I just think of it being the same as skipping filler arcs in any other anime. One pace is literally just skipping filler in the middle of Canon eps.

KrispyKenny

Im always an original only person and the original One Piece for me is what Oda writes, not some creations from Toei writers. So I regard One Pace as more close to the original one especially for arcs with a lot of nonsense fillers. The critism of cut of emotional music may be valid but I haven't seen one in Skypiea or DR, maybe other arcs. I watched One Piece in the original form and rewatched Skypiea and DR with One Pace I think nothing important got cut.

Neant

If you guys ever want a rough approximation of the dollar value of the bounties just divide by 100. Luffys bounty = 100,000,000 Berries = ~$1,000,000 (one million) Berries are equivalent to Japanese Yen.

KrispyKenny

Oda likes to use a lot of different languages for different characters and their attack names, Robin's attacks are a combo of Spanish, French, and/or English.

Enma

I think it was Carter in an earlier ep that mentioned how that the islands seemed normal compared to what yall saw in the Breathtaking World of One Piece Video. Skypiea at least for me was the first place that showed how unique One Piece locations can get.

Jude

Because it's not the original. How are you reacting to a media when you watch an edited version. Modern times fried people's attention span. There is no arc that *need* One Pace, when they can watch 4 episodes a week. One Pace, in my opinion, is only valid for rewatch purposes.

jrnoodles

Good stuff and shoutout to Cannon who showed up and spoke while sick. I feel you Carter, my love for watching original content led me to watch the entire series OG my first time, but after watching One Pace as well, I can assure you that you're not missing anything worthwhile in Skypiea. There are a handful of arcs that One Pace improves upon, and this is one of them. Having seen both, I prefer the One Pace version. And yeah, the One Piece community often conflates "lore" and "world-building", and 151 is 99% the latter. The lore is for later, but there are hints everywhere.

Rhettoric

Because it’s not how the creators intended it to be viewed. By creators I mean Toei as they made these anime epsiodes.

Marcus

Oda just likes involving all of the wrold’s cultures and lore he finds cool, interesting and beneficial. It’s just

Marcus

Great reaction, I forgot how much of an intrigue it was when they first arrived in the sky, it feels so nostalgic. Same thing with the comedy i was actually laughing a bunch. I honestly think one pace is gonna convert some skypiea haters as the main complaint about the arc is always how it dragged.

Mitch

refering to watching one piece in the original anime version as rawdogging is hilarious to me lol

wanira 11

Oda just thinks its cool

Alex

May I ask why? It doesn't cut anything out from the manga and it feels way better paced already in my opinion these two episodes.

wanira 11

Idk the official reason, but my head canon for the different languages is just world building, makes it feel more real when you are following world traveling pirates and they encounter of languages, even if they are mostly used for attack names lol

Niffol

“What am I watching?”. Get ready to say this for the rest of one piece 😂😂

Marcus

Carter, when ppl refer to lore, its both, some expanding the verse but also lore of the kind as you mentioned.

Neant

Brigs hair>

GreetswithJudgement

In my experience the shorter the arc the better it tends to be. Obviously there is a limit, but think about animes that only run 25-150 episodes. tend to be more diamonds in that gap than the crazy long ones. I'm sure there are multiple factors, but the pacing feels better. not cause its not long, but because when its short they don't waste time on filler. That's my theory at least. I noticed the trend after building my animelist for awhile.

Niffol

i actually enjoyed skypiea on my first watch though (OG), kinda silly how i’m already feeling nostalgic for it even though i finished it last august hahaha

no worries

Cannot wait for that severance drip

Andrew Lynch

the pegasus reveal lmao

wanira 11

That transition to Brig being dripped out

1999

I love blackbeard, bros just sailing around the Grand Line on a log lmao

Nic_

just to be clear the people in jaya believe in the knock up stream bellamy explained it in the bar they just don’t believe in sky island

Ryker

Ok we can watch One Pace but if I have to watch 5 more minutes of Tobi playing tag I'm gonna lose it... Brig asked if somehow no one has noticed the giant knock up stream and thought they could get to the sky, but Bellamy actually mentioned it said that people believe the sky island was a myth the people came up with when they saw ships fall from the sky that were probably wrecked on the ocean floor and then shot into the sky by the knock up stream.

Nick K

guys you're confusing sea kings and just random monsters, sea kings are 100 times bigger than the random monsters you see, and what im saying is not spoiler we know this from when we were in calm belt

PEAK

Zipzzty

YES

Zipzzty

The only show I've ever seen to have worse filler than Naruto is Black Clover, and I've probably seen almost 100 anime. Although most shows aren't long enough to justify filler in the first place but you get my point

W ready for it

Peak is here

excellent, now we can get to the good stuff sooner *rubs hands together* >:)

True. But episodes 3 and 4 cover two episodes of the anime. And then episode 6 covers 4 anime episodes all on its own

It’s not bad, it’s just drawn out shots and such but a lot of people think skypiea pacing isn’t great already so it was recommended to improve the pacing as much as possible

Marcus

how bad is it actually? the filler. as bad as NARUTO?

DAI

I raw dogged the entire series. You’re crazy if you don’t think some stretches in one piece arcs are boring and slow.

Grae (Formerly known as Huewi)

insane to me how people say this about skypiea as someone that just raw-dogged dressrosa. this shit is FAST as hell. you're joking, surely.

thanks for the early drop today apreciate alot W geks

ive never watched anime one piece before(only manga) so had no idea how bad the filler of skypia is but seems like a great decision!

I’ve watched this on pace and regular. I think it’s a good choice to do so. Hope the Gek boys enjoy!

JD Galbraith

Ep 1 in for one pace doesn’t cut out much it was basically the original only around 2 min was cut but later on when pacing gets bad there will be multiple ep in one One Pace ep

One pace might be the trick not to dying during this arc lol

Shadow

https://listfist.com/list-of-one-piece-episode-to-chapter-conversion If you're interested in keeping the episode titles pretty in line with the show, you can use this!
