[Music]
dude you don't watch One Piece I mean
I'm not really into that kind of stuff
what kind of stuff you know Pirates
doing Quiet Things wait you think one
piece is just supposed to impact stuff
is it not the case okay let me explain
to you
astorio for rubber man driven by the
ambition of becoming the pirate king and
to achieve that he should claim a
particular treasure with great value and
great wealth better known as the one
piece after hearing that we immediately
expect story elements related to Pirates
but is the essence of One Piece just a
pirate story well with certainly got
plenty of those elements weak as pirates
obviously ships pirate screws sardino
eye patches sea shanty wooden leg pirate
treasure maps and treasure chests
especially treasure chests the the
ultimate goal of pirates once we think
of them we imagine a bunch of gold that
could make you incredibly rich but when
you really think about it one piece is
different the treasure chest in the
story aren't always filled with gold as
per tradition for example in the early
episodes there is this character named
gaimon he's an old man who got stuck in
a chest while trying to search for a
treasure and the sad part is his crew
left him on the island so he spent 20
years protecting the treasure he was
seeking only to discover thanks to rufi
that the treasure had been empty all
along of course Luffy invited him to
join the crew but he refused plugged in
to protect the animals in the island
considering them his real treasure some
even say that gaimon is actually a
foreshadowing for the one piece but
that's a story for a defense video the
point is even the most classic pirate
story elements chests containing gold
isn't the same in one piece treasure
isn't always gold in this story and
there are other chests with people
shoveling them which is a fun little
Quirk element that Oda seems to really
enjoy always I
thought this was gonna be a cheerful
tangent but anyways let's just say that
one piece does have many unconventional
treasure chests Treasures aren't the
only elements of a pirate story we need
a pirate's crew in fights and we
certainly got those I'm still not over
the fact that we have no eye patches but
anyway Luffy's first mission is to find
a pirate's crew to accompany him through
his journey with a combination of
lacking Goodwill Luffy succeeds in
finding a crew in a ship once you travel
with the crew you start to understand
that the whole world is built around the
concept of piracy the world is made out
of islands so most of the world is just
C which is the natural habitat of
pirates Oda designed the world to
perfectly fit his Pilot story
so it is a pirate's toy what did you say
otherwise okay first you scared the
out of me and also I didn't finish yet
so just hear me out so as you keep
watching you start discovering a rich
word outside the scope of our main
characters you begin to realize that
actually it's not the story of Luffy the
pilot in his friends it's also the story
of a living breathing word that
functions independently from our main
cast even if the word is designed for
pirates they are not the only faction in
play not everything revolves around them
so basically one piece isn't only a
pirate story after all it's about a
living breathing word
what makes this world special are the
details each time we get a new reveal
many things that once had been thought
to be with no real impact on the story
turned out to be very important even
small moment that we thought were added
for comedic relief turned out to be a
foreshadowing for something very pivotal
in the story for instance Mr Prince
sanji's nickname in Alabaster this goes
to show how the story is super cohesive
in one falls out which adds to the
immersive word every detail can be
imported in some way or another so the
story has the potential to suck you in
it pushes you to reread it in hindsight
to understand all the amazing details
that have been hinted at throughout this
the story of one piece is a huge master
plan in which mostly everything was
planned out and expected from day one it
makes the story a living breathing word
every story about the world however
small it is eventually contributes to
the overall story and adds to the
richness of the world however these
details are usually sold through the
dialogue of characters and their
interactions with the world okay so just
like the way we're interacting right now
in this video yeah you can say that just
stop interrupting me already okay okay I
guess I get it now one piece is about
the World building right yeah okay
you're already playing on my nerves
right now just bear with me we see the
world through his reactions to the
actions of all the characters so the
characters play a huge role in the story
in fact if the characters fail to
display the word of One Piece it
wouldn't be such a complex word in the
first place would it fundamentally we
can say that one piece is actually all
about the characters they're new ones in
human nature makes him stand out you can
pinpoint the values of a character after
spending enough time with them still
it's not easy to predict the reactions
to situations as their personality is
complex and has multiple layers Luffy
for example is an idiot who only thinks
in a straightforward manner but when it
comes to emotionally heavy situations
for other characters Luffy steps up and
shows an incredible emotional
intelligence he understands what the
person is going through and helps them
in ways that they really need he frees
them and he is all about Freedom Luffy
has done this with a lot of characters
notably Robin Nami Sanji and Chopper had
you not known Luffy's characters those
moments would didn't make any sense in
fact sometimes characters do indeed
behave in a confusing and inexpected
manner it seems like that behavior is
out of character and out of nowhere a
white backstory appears that
recontextualizes everything about the
characters and gives its meaning this is
specially true for villains Oda always
gives as much attention and care to
villains as he does for his main
characters their backstories include
traumas that make you understand their
actions of course you do hate the
villains as any other well-written story
but their depth just adds an additional
layer of complexity and Nuance to them
they are morally ambiguous just as any
human being would be though Flamingo is
a great example of this you understand
his reaction to his traumatizing
childhood in which he had no real Choice
still you despise his unforgivable
actions and think that his birth doesn't
justify them
villains are a great illustration of the
masterful character building in one
piece even Side characters have
sometimes deep impacts fallback stories
while they would probably be just one
shot's characters game on the cheese old
man I mentioned earlier was seemingly a
one shot character with a good backstory
a better example of the idea would be
Senor pink he was most certainly a
One-Shot character with a hard hitting
backstory I mean look at this character
the dude is using a Suitor and is
wearing baby clothes he looks ridiculous
right well if you see his flashback you
might even wear his clothes as cosplay
the thing is you never know when a
character in one piece is a side
character random Side characters
sometimes become very important to the
story multiple examples come to mind
like the whole cast of dress Rosa the
legendary buggy the clown not to forget
our bomb clay and many others this goes
to show how much thoughts Oda puts into
his characters in how much he invests in
his world to be as complete and
immersive as possible in fact one piece
has a huge cast of more than 1 000
characters in what's most surprising
about this characters is the worldwide
character's Paul the Phantom was given
the chance to vote for their favorite
characters out of the 1000 characters if
you browse the list of the top 100 you
will certainly recognize almost all the
characters there and you will be able to
paint a decent picture about who they
are the surprising part for me though
was that in a series lasting 25 years in
developing characters since day one one
character Yamato managed to rank in the
top 20. while they had only been
introduced a few chapters before the
poll and had never appeared in the anime
it's crazy to me that the whole world
fell in love with them in just a few
chapters for me this only meant that Oda
is still on the top of his game and even
after 25 years into the story he can
bring novelty in his characters and blow
the fandom away so in fact the whole One
Piece story isn't about characters but
it is just
[Music]
a lot of times we enjoy reading one
piece only because we trust Oda he
delivers constantly how can we not trust
him of course we would he had been
publishing weekly for 25 years now so we
usually trust him blindly and we aren't
to be blamed for that what puzzles me
often about Oda though are the cover
stories like the dude could have just
drawn a random art in the chapter cover
with Luffy in the middle like a casual
mangaka would do but no he choose to
give more tips to his story and decided
to grow for stories on the manga covers
this only shows oda's dedication to one
piece this still doesn't make sense to
me though why does all the rights cover
stories maybe he's an environmental
activist and doesn't like Western paper
or probably he's pressured by time to
finish his manga but it's been 25 years
already this doesn't make sense then but
you know what Oda is a Gods so maybe his
construct of time is different from us
mere humans maybe it will send the
space-time fabric it can Wormhole his
way in different universes maybe the one
piece of their real parallel universe
you know like Spider-Man and Oda is
Doctor Strange and he can use quantum
integument to know what's happening in
that universe first then reports back to
us with his strong wins this is the only
explanation this could make sense of how
good one piece is maybe that's what one
piece is all about it's a parallel
universe what did you say something
where have you gone you've been silent
for a while now yeah it's just that Oda
is insane man I've never seen a mangaka
or even a writer as dedicated is he
actually that big of a deal even more
than what you would expect the community
trusts Oda to the point of celebrating
an arc full of questions without any
real payoff as we are sure that the
payoff will be worth the wait I'm not
sure if another Storyteller can get away
with such technique of Storytelling
without suffering some kind of criticism
or at least it would be so difficult you
probably know what I'm referring to the
river we Arc the whole Arc was just a
setup full of questions and it was
enjoyable still and by the time I'm
recording this we are finally leaving
the payoff for that Arc five years later
and as predicted it is so amazing the
latest string of chapters have all been
in 11 out of 10 chapters and they are
all based on that setup so this takes us
to the final conclusion Oda is just
passionate about one piece it's I
believe the reason why he writes couple
stories and answers fans on the SBS as
well he wants us to live with him inside
that live and breathing world and
experience everything in it actually my
brain wandering off earlier seems like
what Oda does in some of his arcs he
gets so immersed in the story that he
prepares more setup than he can chew
however he delivers a player for every
setup the payoff is usually huge so we
can let the small slip slide again the
community does this because simply in
Gouda We Trust he has an amazing
imagination and we are sailing together
through it similar to Luffy and his crew
sailing through the ground line we are
in for the ride whoever it takes us
wow so one piece is all about order
that's what you're saying what who said
that you did no I didn't because one
piece is a parallel universe born as a
paradox between the quantum inside
limited particle collision he's not
gonna stop anytime soon anyhow all hell
order I'm convinced I submit to the dark
side also if you like this video
consider watching this one too it's one
of my favorites
