I never realized how legendary this episode was, or this arc. I have never rewatched this arc specifically because it was kind of a letdown when I had to watch it week to week with the slow pacing, but watching the episodes at a much faster rate has made it incredibly compelling. The writing is beyond incredible. Luffy sees through Sanji's charade instantly. Instead of fighting Sanji, Luffy takes the beating to prove two things. One, that he knows Sanji doesn't mean any of what he said and that he knows Sanji won't kill him. Two, that there is no universe in which Luffy leaves the island without him. Both of these things not only represent Luffy's will, but they are actions Luffy chose to make sure Sanji's guilt at his "betrayal" would lessen a bit. Sanji's resolve to attack Luffy so desperately was equally compelling. As Jack said, Sanji is begging for Luffy to leave internally. I cannot even imagine how soul crushing it must have been for Sanji to do that to Luffy. Sanji was fighting to sacrifice himself and protect the Strawhats. It feels very similar to Robin in Water 7, only Sanji took the fight upon himself to protect Luffy and Nami from retaliation by the Vinsmokes. Even though Luffy wouldn't leave, by beating him into submission he still protected Luffy and Nami from the Vinsmokes. Sanji also ensured Luffy survived by fighting Luffy himself. Now the Vinsmokes are convinced that ties have been cut and won't attack the Straw Hats needlessly.
Another reason on why i believe Luffy lets Sanji continue to kick him, is because probably he knows sanji can't do anything and feels very frustrated and a lot of anger for the situation he's being put in ... so he lets him take out all of his anger on him ... cuz he can take it, similar on how zoro took luffy's pain on thriller bark
I think this is probably my favorite luffy/sanji moment ever. "No matter how many times you kick me, you're the one that gets hurt", luffy's ability to empathize with someone and understand what they need to hear can never be understated. Goda does it once again. Also Mayumi Tanaka's voice acting is so real and raw its insane.
and thats why zoro didnt come. zoro wouldve started fighting sanji to defend.
no he wouldn't, and this argument is very boring this many years later ... luffy would have told him to shut up and do nothing just like he did to nami, and zoro would have follow his captain orders like he always does.
I called the next thumbnail, I knew jack would be crying. 🤣🤣🤣
there were so many eyecatchers because they aired both episodes as an hour long block
And also, did you catch Luffy statement at the end? ... he will stay there STARVING to death unless he eats something coming from Sanji ... when we know HOW IMPORTANT is not letting anyone starve to sanji ... imagine his own captain Man we knew Oda liked to troll sanji, but this whole arc went waaay to far: - His father is being threatened to be killed at Baratie - His hands potentially being blown up if he even tries to do something "sketchy" (we know how important those are for him for cocking) - Him trying to protect his crew from being killed by an emperor because the position he was forced to be put in - And now his own captain is gonna starve to death to show him how much does he need and trust him bro what does anyone do in that situation D: my man is being put in like 4 different check mates 😭😭😭
So ... about the 6 eyecatchers in total and 807 not having the "To be continued... endcard, 🤓☝️ that's because this was aired as a 1 hour long special episode ... so i guess why they had to put that many eyecatchers to cover for the 60 min airing on tv 🤓☝️
It's been a while and please correct me if I'm wrong but the episodes aired on the same day as the Ultra instinct episodes right? Because I remember that weekend being quite the treat with anime episodes.
This is the moment I thought things can’t get worse for Sanji 😀
🗣 808 & heartbreak 😤🔥 Oda hitting us with the Kanye references
You cooked 🫡
I love Luffy vs Sanji for so many reasons but more than anything, I love how it shows Luffy's growth. Where things got heated and everything escalated to a brawl with Usopp, I love that Luffy refused to go down that same route for Sanji. He puts it so well, "Why do I need Haki just to talk?"
He has grown emotionally. but it was also way different this time. With Usopp it was an actual very serious argument where the duel was perhaps necessary to resolve Usopp's feelings, but this entire situation was just a charade and fighting back against Sanji really had no meaning since there was no difference in ideologies. Luffy knows Sanji feels the same way he does already, but that his hands are tied. So instead, he just takes the beating to prove to Sanji that no matter what happens he will take Sanji back. It's beautiful writing and one of the best scenes in One Piece.
literally for all the good toei has done it doesn't mean anything because of the treatment of these two episodes
Theres still another sanji moment which comes not too long after this which fucks me up everytime
It's so messed up that after this it feels like a quadruple gut punch.
❤️🫂
Mayumi Tanaka the freaking goat!
Best two episodes in the series by far
saying this when megumi ishitani exists is crazy
I always forget about the crazy eyecatcher usage in these two and the pretty nonsensical 807 but 808 always gets me good 🥲
It's based on the fact that they played back to back so they spread out the episode over the hour. Eyecatchers usually sandwich a bunch of ads during the original release of episodes on TV
there are loads of eyecatchers because these two episodes were a one hour special, also why there was no to be continued on 807
Whole cake island does things man frfr... Luffy is a dumbass but his emotional intelligence is unquestioned
im on crunchyroll too, but for some reason on my side the episode is longer? episode 807. On jacks side it says 23:55 but on mine it says 24:04... will this mess up the sync?
update: i was on the dub somehow, nevermind lol
I still haven't recovered from seeing sanji go through all the shit he went through this arc. Truly heart breaking
Well time to get your tissues ,cause we gonna look the same
Good there’s the thumbnail I was expecting
oh lord almighty here it comes
Oh lord here we go T^T
Judging from the thumbnail. I will enjoy this reaction.
