📘 Re-reading One Piece, random comments:
Of all the Baroque Works teams my favorite is definitely Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek.
As a person who loves arts, I can't help but be fascinated by a team that fights using the art of sculpture and painting.
Especially by her. How cool is to use colors to hypnotize the enemies and influence their mood and actions?
In addition, they use to have tea and picnic anywhere, anytime. How poetic is that?

Crocodile really is The Character of all time.
He's first introduced as a terrifying villain in the shadows who's killing an entire country of thirst and orchestrating a civil war while posing as their hero. He runs a vast criminal organization while having immunity from the government. He's viciously cunning and dreadfully powerful. The first time Luffy fights him, he never even touches him and very nearly gets killed. It takes him THREE times to finally beat him, and hardly. Just by the events in the Arabasta saga, Crocodile would've gone down as an amazing character and villain.
But then.
But then, like eight arcs after Arabasta, Luffy breaks into Impel Down, where Crocodile happens to be imprisoned. And he just. First he says HISASHIBURI DANA MUGIWARA in an incredibly deep and sexy voice that has me giggling and twirling my hair. Then he gets blackmailed by IVANKOV who knows A PERSONAL SECRET OF HIS and we're all looking at him like
Tumblr media
AND THEN Crocodile joins Luffy to break out of prison and go to war, but not before taking a detour through Newkama Land because god forbid Crocodile showed up at Marineford wearing dirty prisoner rags. On their way out they meet Blackbeard, who starts rambling about his evil plan and Crocodile is like "who" and Blackbeard says "me" and Crocodile replies "no, who asked you" and moves on because he really couldn't care less about that mf.
And then. And then.
They arrive at Marineford. And Crocodile PEAKS at Marineford.
He shows up in this huge battlefield and he hates EVERY SINGLE PERSON on it. Fuck you, Whitebeard. Fuck you, Doflamingo. Fuck you, Sengoku. Fuck you, Mihawk. Fuck you, Akainu. He's completely unhinged. An agent of chaos. And if he ends up picking a side, he does it because FUCK COPS THAT'S WHY and isn't that the noblest of reasons.
And then he comes back over a decade of publication later to create a bdsm gay polycule with a sex dungeon along with a misanthropic swordsman and a clown.
Not to mention he's also Luffy's mother

I'm really excited that One Piece LA was already renewed for season 2! It's an incredible show and they deserve it. I hope it last for several more and they keep the same quality. The talent and the material is all there.
That being said. . . Hey Netflix, while you're making decisions why don't you let us know if Shadow and Bone is get season 3 and/or a Six of Crows spinoff ! It's only been 6 months but whatever
And you could also go ahead and drop at least a teaser and release date for Bridgerton season 3! You flew Nicola to Brazil and only showed four pictures WTF was that about?
And one more little thing PAY YOUR WRITERS AND ACTORS!!! End the strikes and give the people we're paying you to see what they need. We're only still subscribing and watching because they asked us to. They're already asking for less that they deserve. No one want to watch AI actors or hear generated scripts.
While I'm already ranting anyway, stop canceling shows before people have a chance to watch them. Two months is not enough. Six months really isn't enough but it would be better than two. Especially when you don't promote them. Not everything is going to reach 30 million people in one week and it shouldn't have to.
But yeah assuming Netflix doesn't crash and burn under the weight of their own greed (looking at you Reed Hastings Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters) I'm looking forward to the Arabasta Saga

Now that I'm reading One Piece, let me say this: even when I think One Piece is better written, the comparison between both mangas in their pre timeskip period is often done poorly.
Naruto decides to be immediately a more explicit and visceral story in terms of cruelty, with a main cast of 12 year old children. While One Piece takes its time building the foundation for its characters and future arcs, Naruto jumps right into the issue at hand. The first chapter is practically spelling it out to you, the reason why Naruto could and even should be a villain, given the circumstances. He's a sad sight, the loneliness and general dark feelings coating Naruto as a story are strong from the very start. I'm not saying that One Piece doesn't have a lot of dark themes and feelings too, but Oda style is to use comedy and good humor to balance it first. One Piece is lighter at the beginning.
For example, compare the East Blue saga and the Land of the Waves arc. Unfair, I know, but I want to prove a certain point here.
Each arc of the East Blue has a bit of cruelty in it, the worst being Arlong Park. In the 3 first arcs, when Luffy meets his three first nakamas, we can say it is more comedy than tragedy. No one dies, there is cruelty and battles, but it's kept on the "safe side". The villains are shown to be more "evil" than anything else. Morgan, Buggy and Kuro are pirates after all. Then they reach the Baratie and things start to get serious. Sanji's backstory is heavy (everything Sanji and Zeff went through is dark, from the starvation to the amputation and the grey scale of their animosity turned bond). You have the first hint at Nami's complexity as a character, you get a taste of the Grand Line in the Mihawk and Zoro encounter where Zoro almost dies, there's explicit sacrifice...
Like I said, Arlong Park is the worst of it all. The story of the town, of Bell-Mere and her children, of what the fish-men did to Nami... It would be incorrect to say that comedy is out aside. First of all, because one of the most common purposes of comedy is to build the ground for drama. You will need a light mood to present the gravity of the situation at hand. The reader must be desperate to see the characters laughing and joking again, to recover the good times, to preserve the bonds and friendships. All the previous arcs needed to be so silly for Arlong Park to be impactful. Nami lived through hell. There's war and discrimination, abuse, manipulation, government corruption and betrayal. I'd never dare to say it's a light arc.
With Naruto, it's like they went straight to their own Arlong Park. It doesn't get clearer than the explanation Tazuna gave about what was going on with Kato and the bridge. They step out of the gates and there's an assassination attempt where Kakashi pretends to get explicitly murdered in front of the kids so he can figure out what they're dealing with. You have the story of how the local town hero was basically crucified to get his arms ripped by Kato's men. Hell, before all of these you have things like the Uchiha massacre and Sasuke saying his goal is to kill someone.
Then the top of the cake: Zabuza and Haku. They end up dead, both of them. Suddenly the enemy is not just "evil" or "ambitious" but also very very human. Kids killing kids or refusing to kill kids, it's a nightmare. Kakashi kills Haku with a chidori to the chest and the manga lingers on the blood of it all. There's a panel when Sasuke takes a hit meant for Naruto— the visual impact is insane. That one panel of Naruto awakening the kyubi's chakra and threatening to kill Haku? This is not a story about pirates and treasures and dreams. This is a story about survival and murder and duty, where a kid happens to want to dream above all the misery of his world.
Compare now the Arabasta saga and the Chuning Exams. Both are about politics, foul play to take a country/hidden village down, how normal people are nothing but pieces of a bigger game, how the world is baster and more dangerous than anyone could ever imagine.
The difference is that the straw hats choose to participate and choose how to do so. Every step is one they take conscious of the risk. They are teenagers still, sure, but they have their agency and they're powerful enough to not let anyone else push them around. They're at the heart of the conflict, they know what's going on behind the curtains. One Piece is about freedom, something that people in Naruto clearly lack. Even when there's death and sacrifices and a lot of cruelty, it's shown differently than in Naruto.
Team 7 gets thrown into the mess of Konoha's crush knowing nothing. The Chunning Exams are a shit show. The horror of Orochimaru and the cursed mark, the Hyuuga's plotline about family branches and slavery, arms exploding, Rock Lee's fight, Hiruzen's death, Gaara's backstory... Team 7 (at least the kids) move on such a different scale. It's terrifying. The Chunning Exams are war in a micro scale, designed to keep the power balance using their lower class soldiers, children included.
I can keep going, but well. I feel like I made my point clear with this post.
While Naruto's story pace is faster, the characters and the themes aren't rushed per se. It fits that in a world in constant conflict, things keep coming faster and the characters can't catch a break. The journey of the straw hats allows them more time to build the foundations of the crew, going from island to island. The way the stories are told are different too, so it'd be futile to compare them if you don't acknowledge that. What are the core values of the story? What is the general feeling? What is it trying to tell and how it corresponds to the way the story is told?
You either ask yourself those questions or you'll get a half-assed analysis, at most.

I think if Netflix wants to prove they are capable of handling big budget shows like Amazon and HBO, they should follow through and see the One Piece Live Action all the way through the end.
There will be 11 major sagas by the time One Piece is over.
The East Blue Sea Saga, Arabasta Saga, Sky Island, Water 7, Thriller Bark, Summit War, Fishman Island, Dressosa, Whole Cake Island, Wano Country, and The Final Saga.
Not all these arcs need their own season. We could turn 11 sagas into 7 seasons if we double up. Would be fun pacing anyways.
I really loved the Live Action. And super hope Netflix believes in this story and sticks with it till the end. I think watching this cast for the whole story would be wonderful. I love them so much ❤️🏴‍☠️

Last night I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep and, as I've started watching the live action again, I was thinking.
OH LORD, AGAIN, A-FUCKING-GAIN
I was thinking about the characters that have to be introduced in the new season and, of all of them, my mind focused on Robin. Initially, in the next season we shouldn't see her interacting much with any mugiwara other than Luffy but we know that changes can happen. And it has made me wonder if her dynamic with Zoro pre Enies Lobby is going to start happening in Arabasta and if this ship is going to be resurrected as happened to Zoro and Nami in the first season.
The peak of popularity that Zoro and Nami have reached again as a ship thanks to live action has less to do with the script (it was of help tho) and more to do with the chemistry between Mackenyu and Emily, so the actress playing Robin is going to be crucial, but I know people are going to love the dynamic that made Zoro and Robin's ship so popular in the late 2000s and bleeded into the early 2010s.
I personally wouldn't put that dynamic into Arabasta yet, I would focus on Zoro with Sanji and Chopper and on Robin with Luffy before introducing the kind of relationship these two are going to have for an entire saga and part of another. I'd maybe even go so far as to show Nami suspecting almost as early as Luffy that Robin isn't half as bad as she wants to pretend, just like she did.
I never got to mention it around here, I don't think, but the Zoro/Nami/Robin trio during Skypiea is one of my favorite things about that arc because you can see the very clear difference in Zoro and Nami's treatment of Robin (he was such an ass with her when she was being nice, I want to slap him).
If this doesn't happen in the second season, in the third (if made) it's already something they can't leave out because his behavior with Robin is the consequence of three things: his distrust by nature, that letting his guard down didn't let him foresee Nami's betrayal and, on top of that, Robin has been his enemy before being his friend.
Or maybe not, maybe people won't give a fuck. We'll see.

Because we are reaching the Final Saga of One Piece, I started to re-read the manga since the beginning.
I totally forgot Luffy wanted to beat Zoro because Zoro hurt people who gave them food.
It was at the start of the Arabasta Saga.
Luffy didn't understand the situation. He thought people at Cactus Peak were nice.
But it tourned out to be wrong. Those people wanted them dead.
Somehow it reminded me that Dragon wanted to punish Sabo as well for killing King Cobra.
Of course it was false. Both Zoro and Sabo weren't wrong in their actions.
Zoro wanted to protect his crewmates and Sabo was framed for the assassination.
I think it's a very interesting parallel between Dragon and Luffy. They don't forgive that easily.

🏴‍☠️new episode!🏴‍☠️
As we kick off the Arabasta saga with season 2 of the podcast, we take a trip up Reverse Mountain and cover episodes 61 - 63 of the One Piece anime.
As this is the shortest arc in the series, we take our time setting up the Grand Line and all the things that don’t make any sense but still make for great storytelling. And it turns out, you only need 2 episodes to create one of the most beloved characters in the series.
✨🐳✨
