One Piece ep 325 & Reaction to openings and Enel Coverstory!

Comments

Hi, just wanted to mention that this episode doesn't show up in the Collection. Always fun watching you reaction so i give my best in catching up :)

Silvanus2004

This is essentially setup for the next arcs to come. It is meant to get you intrigued and excited for the future story. New arcs normally always starts with the crew sailing towards a new island. Stuff like this typically happens at the end of arc to let us in on what happens in the rest of the world. Just like with the reaction shots around the world. This is what makes the world of one piece feel so complete and so full. The whole world moves on its own, it is not just our main characters that are changing and moving forwards. Just like with the cover story with Enel. A lot of stuff is happening around the world all the time

I somehow never made the clockwork orange Malcolm McDowell connection with Lafitte and it's so obvious.

We all live, love, and lose people we adore, no one who gets the chance to actually experience life, passes through it without feeling that in one way, shape, or form.

Voltakackackack

Jason you completely nailed it πŸ˜… thank you so much!

Voltakackackack

Ugh I missed this one and you played "my song" I'd be so hype if I wasn't so disappointed in myself for missing it.

Voltakackackack

This episode may seem unrelated to the arc but Ace and Black Beard clashing has been set up for a long time, back on Drum Island when Chopper joined you hear that 5 men(black beards crew) destroyed the country and Ace left a message for Luffy that he'll be at Alabasta, when we get to Alabasta we meet Ace then on Jaya we meet Black Beard before they go to Skypiea.

Supposedly there’s spoilers in the video. Sorry. Don’t watch it. Everyone will get upset if you get spoiled.

storitella

see ya guys soon. imma marinate the episode for now πŸ˜…

Verk

Awesome, thanks Heather!πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰β€οΈβ€οΈ

Jason DeVan

What a coincidence you mentioned Desnes the Dwarf. He just did an interview with IΓ±aki Godoy from OPLA. I haven’t finished the video yet (it’s almost an hour), but I’ll post a link on Discord for you!πŸ˜‰

storitella

it is humbling to be reminded how big of self-control we need to have every time heather and jason ask any spot-on questions, hahaha. I can't wait to see your reaction to the next arc's design, (p.s i love it!). although some people have mixed feelings about it, the arc has one of my top 5 memorable scenes in the entire 1000+ one piece episodes, and there are also quite a few foreshadowing for one of my favourite arc (which just recently ended).

Ars

Welcome to your new found family Rachel! :))

Jason DeVan

Don’t feel disrespected! Actually everyone is very respectful of eachother around here! So never take it personal πŸ’ͺπŸ˜‰ we try not too

Jason DeVan

i said this being kind and considerate aswell. one says its end of arc so we should be fine and the other says we can always read the title. when i hear this i doubt they know they shouldnt read the title. i take my time writing this much and you wanna tell me im being rude now? make it make sense. i clearly care and rather find it disrespectful.

Kenji

Heather, you are right that I am rather new to One Piece as I did only start watching after the Live Action. I am not new to anime though as I did watch a lot of it when I was younger and I still occasionally watch a show here and there. I have seen a few of the bigger ones like Naruto, Bleach, and Dragonball (and Dragonball Z). I think you guys will like the new arc even though it is not a fan favourite. It has highs and lows but I think it is underappreciated at times because in my opinion it brings a lot of development to the characters and the story.

Rachel G

Kenji, they know they shouldn't read the episode titles until after the episode - which is what they said they might do after they react to it. I thought I should let you know your comment comes off rather rude. I understand your stance on how they should watch One Piece - which is how they have been watching all this while - but honestly they should enjoy this journey how they would like to so us viewers do not dampen the experience for them. I hope you understand I say this with being kind and considerate in mind.

Rachel G

I was going to edit and delete stuff but now I can’t.

Fold

i will wait for you then!

Kenji

Definitely but one day i will get as close as you are cuz im in it for the long run

smileyface

Guys, I love your reaction, but sometimes when you talk to each other you miss important dialogs from the anime. Please pay attention to this. You can stop the video. I don't think anyone will judge you.

Fatih Γ‡etin

Yes conversations like this should be taken to the spoilers section of discord because we know Heather and Jason will read every comment out loud to the public even if the comment wasn't meant for them. For example I can make them say Banana Fana Bo Bana right now, see they just did it. tsk tsk, naughty Jason and Heather, this comment wasn't meant for you to read out loud. :D

ic1025

So true!

theshittycook

if you guys wanna watch one piece in german you can read the title for every episode! they dont spoil you unlike the english translation. idk why you cant understand that reading the title for one piece is just a summary of the episode u gonna watch. why u wanna read the title just watch the episode. i cant understand why this is so hard to accept. if you really wanna read the title just ask me whats gonna happen in the next 800 episodes i will passionately reveal all the secrets no need to watch the show just watch the highlights theb. im hear to see your reaction for what you dont or wont expect. im not interested in your reviews for one piece. but even people that give reviews dont spoil themselves, they go as far as to deactivate comments on ytube to avoid spoilers they dont even interact with their fanbase until the review gets released 😭. if you cant have enough selfcontroll and discipline aight then at least wait til the end of the first half of one piece after that i dont care either if you read the title and no jason just becuz its the end of an arc it doesnt change anything you still cant read the title. at this point i assume u guys get more hyped reading the title before watching an episode makes it more exciting cuz u wonder how it will get realized? idk then u might wanna consider reading manga and then watch the anime.

Kenji

i might not be first but im still no.1

Kenji

u better read and fully understand this heather

Kenji

this^

Kenji

next arc is so long thats my issue

Kenji

they should have paused at every cover page to be able to consume and analyse fully. also the sky island where enel originated from is also called birka and that moon city is also called birka.

Kenji

the reason why the arc ends with ace vs blackbeard and not luffy leaving water7 is cuz oda usually uses the beginning or ending of arcs to show us what other characters outside of the strawhats are up to around the world since oda cant switch all the time between so many characters so he focuses on the main cast during the arcs since its their journey and at the end show us what the world is up to for world building

Kenji

a summary from all the coverstories? what about odas artworks? i edited those out at the end cuz of spoilers which is why the vid ends suddenly btw.

Kenji

yeah its opening 6 brand new world

Kenji

you guys missed to react to another opening 😭. there is one more opening you can react to One Piece Opening 6 Brand New World. and sad you didnt try to guess which strawhat sang which part of the We Are Opening. and yes that everything from the enel backstory i just had to cut the ending of the video becuz there were spoilers put. thats why the video ends abruptly.

Kenji

All of your questions will be answered. Blackbeard's power is essentially just a void and that's terrifying. As far as arcs go, you don't want to know. What's coming up is great just know Oda won't let you down

Dylan Drozeski

And you know what they might not even have a problem with in which case I just wasted your time.

Fold

Sorry thanks for the offer but I don't use discord, plus figuring out mysteries of small things I missed or forgot for myself keeps my memory sharper

erueka6

An example I can give from episodes you already watched: The episode where Nico Robin joins the straw hats after Alabasta, was literally called "The seventh member is Nico Robin" :D

Martin Hagen

You just at me in the spoiler sections if your on discord and we can stop this dance of trying say something without saying anything.

Fold

I'm not quite sure it's been a quite a months since I've seen this part so don't know guess I'll figure it out later.

erueka6

I don't know what the bird problem is. I'm talking about the question; it should be next week if they skip the filler. I don't think it's a problem for most people but when I listen to people react to their first read through the one's I've listened to have always complained about it.

Fold

Oh are you talking about the ongoing bird problem if not I'm stumped.

erueka6

You guys totally got it right. Just go on to the next canon episodes and enjoy the start of a new Arc and new Saga too! The Water 7 and Enies Lobby Sagas were incredible. Also nothing happened is sort of a meme so to speak. I can't wait to see what your thoughts of the whole series are so far!

LoneCourier21

I agree with you but I'm talking about the other thing because I believe there is another reason for it that I will comment when it happens

Fold

That was the right episode lol. Also Blackbeard mentioned that his power allows him to draw in a Devil Fruit power user's "physical body", which implies that even tho some can turn into stuff like fire, sand and smoke, they still have a physical body. It's just not possible to affect their physical body unless something is countering whatever they become, like fire, smoke, sand, etc. This is how Luffy beat Crocodile. Water was enough of a counter to sand, because water hardens sand, that it allowed Luffy to damage Crocodile's physical body. And obviously Rubber vs Lightning for Enel. Powers in One Piece kinda work like that. It can be vague and hard to immediately pick up sometimes. Blackbeard's power essentially will allow him to fight Ace, Crocodile and Smoker, or anyone with similar powers, as long as he can touch them, because his power shuts off other people's Devil Fruit abilities.

SomeoneElse

If it's the Nami and Sanji stuff it's just morons taking it too personal and not understanding the difference in Japan's humor and views it's a teen show/Manga people need to get over it already it's staying.

erueka6

yall are almost at the point in the show where this became my favorite cartoon or anime of all time

Nick

this is a great tip! alot of people get confused because of the wording

kaleb hess

That's awesome you guys have such a bond. 337! Enough said😁

Adam V.

Juice da ninja and Faye beat me to it with those bottles lol the next arc is a strange but fun one. I can't wait............. Heather and Jason, you guys are the best!!!!

Nesz Vids (Eric Perez)

A hard act to follow but we know what a lot of what people struggle with. I even preparing a defense for one of the issues because I think there is deeper meaning.

Fold

My recommendation is to not listen to people who hype or bad mouth arcs too much. Just come into arcs with zero expectations is what I believe to be the best approach. I seen people who said they loved skypiea but always heard beforehand that it wasn't a good arc. Same with another arc later, where I was watching another reactor heard bad things about an upcoming arc, so they assumed that it wasn't going to be any good. But after they got through it, they said it was their favorite arc.

Friends4Never

I will say there is an opening in the middle of those two you both missed 🫑

Bryan

Openings!!!!

Bryan

Also some context for the Darkness power of Blackbeard: In japan, Darkness also means "void" or "nothingness", its an element in the same way that water, earth, fire, electricity, etc. Which is why its classified as a Logia as well (Logias allow a person to turn their body into an element/form of energy)

Jake Belcastro

"you should know the rules, having lived through twice as much as others" insane line for those who know why oda wrote this. The amount of foreshadowing oda does that goes over all of our heads at first glance is so much greater than we realize on our first viewing. Oda's ability to be tastefully cryptic makes the theory crafting for us fans such a fun endeavor!

Jake Belcastro

yep, theres no issue with the next one..its just following after a very amazing arc

Regie Khemvisay

it has to be because it followed a masterpiece of Water 7 where the stakes are so much higher, so the next arc is having issues with ppl

Regie Khemvisay

I know why people have issues with the next arc but I like it.

Fold

Kenji, what a lovely video about the Enel cover story! Jason, you mostly got it correctly. Those are cover pages from the manga. A cover page is a one-page image at the beginning of the manga, dropped over a number of weeks, which put together make a side story. Kenji, maybe we can put together a summary for it?

Lucia Petrozzi

Love the Sunny in a bottle! πŸ₯° Guys, you watched the correct episode...I loved seeing how confused you were, as I was the same when I watched BB vs Ace πŸ˜‚ just keep watching, it will all be clearer at the right time.

Lucia Petrozzi

Love me some Billy Joel.

Mario Prime Plays

You're right Jason, that episode didn't really have anything to do with the last arc, but Oda does that on purpose. Now that you're this far in the story, some of the arcs will end with a sort of recap. There's all sorts of stuff going on in the background during each arc, and the "season finale" lets us know what's been happening. Even though it took awhile to watch all those episodes, I believe Water 7 and Enies Lobby technically took place over the course of only a week or so. In the beginning, it mentioned that the fight between Blackbeard and Ace happened 3 days before the Straw Hats stormed Enies Lobby. Oda has multiple storylines advancing behind the scenes, and they're usually to set up future arcs. For example, Smoker and Tashigi saw the crew's new bounties, and now they're motivated to try and get higher ranks so they can go after the Straw Hats. Whitebeard and Shanks clashing caused a major stir with the Marines. And then of course, the battle in this episode. These threads might not be part of the main story at the moment, but everything going on in the background eventually intertwines down the line. Like I said a couple episodes ago, Oda never tells us anything without a reason.

Molto_Benny

The Thriller Bark Arc has some pacing issues and the story is average for OP IMO but its still an important step in the OP world building and for our SH crew. Glad it's only about 45 episodes. As far as Enel going to the moon, its a nice little story about how some cultures in the OP world are advance more than others and the little cyborg angels we created by beings with angel wings too from a advanced city called Burka who went down to the blue planet because of lack of resource, so you have a idea of where the skipeans and shandians may have originated from a long time ago in the skypia arc.

EgregiousGrievous

Don't believe what others say, next arc is still fantastic. Very Underrated because Water 7/Enies Lobby is so great and loved by everyone.

Cheddah Slammer

that episode finishes water 7. next week is triller bark arc. also my favorite arc is two arcs ahead

Leandrorr

I really like the next arc, I think peoples issues with the next arc is the pacing but it has iconic moments and a certain theme to it that you should like.

Freshingredient

Exactly, I had a few examples like that in my head too LOL

Martin Hagen

The next arc isn't the best, but still very good and the ending is crazy. The battle between Ace and Blackbeard has nothing to do with the adventures of the Straw Hats. It's just a side note to understand later plot points. It shows that the world of One Piece is more than just Luffy and his crew.

Animeter

Most titles are fine but some are like instead of the Star Wars subtitle being "Empire Strikes back" it would be "Vader is Luke's Father" as the title which ruins a major twist and scene for that movie.

Razrbck08

Just as a principle, don't look at the titles :D Some episodes are good, but once in a while the title will just spoil the entire episode and impact your experience. Do whatever you want of course but would recommend to not look

Martin Hagen

I just watched the 4 episode drop, and now this just showed up. Probably the earliest I got to a vid.

Cheddah Slammer

Reporting in from ground zero of THE battle for FIRST and…I think Im Fourth or Fifth?

Whoo lets go
