One Piece 277-278 PATREON Reaction

Robin's flashback happened 20 years ago when she was 8, she is now 28. Kuzan wasn't admiral Aokiji yet, he was just a vice-admiral like Saul. We also heard "Vice-admiral Sakazuki" who destroyed the evacuation ship (now admiral Akainu!) and "Admiral Sengoku", so he wasn't yet fleet admiral at that time :) Lots can change in 20 years!! Oda is really good at showing characters we know in flashbacks wearing different clothes or hairstyles, and somehow it still looks like them. That's really impressive!

I love it because she told Iceberg she didn't care if it destroyed the world, she was willing to let the world burn to save the other straw hats and by shooting down that flag, the symbolically declared, they would burn the world to save her.

Oh man. I watched this like 5 times already but I managed to cry the whole 2 eps with u Jack.

I know I'm late but Kuzan is Aokiji. Aokiji is a moniker like 'straw hat' or 'pirate hunter and means Blue Phesant. 10 years ago Aokiji was a vice-admiral and since then has been promoted to admiral.

Yeah, Robin's backstory is easily the second saddest.

Who left this bowl of chopped onions here?!

Franky crying at the end of the episode is us

You know I wondered if I would cry when watching this for the third time and yeah I sobbed probably longer than Jack did just because I knew what was coming. Goodness her backstory is just quite possibly the most difficult to witness. I knew Jack would be crying through most of this video and I was right.

Aokiji is just Kuzan's Marine designation, it translates to "blue pheasant". The other admirals (but not fleet admiral) also have animal designations, it's a reference to a well known japanese story that contains those 3 animals.

Jack: "I'm gonna be strong" Famous last words

Hahaha and it's not over yet prepare to cry a bucket. Mentally prepare yourself to be crying until the strawhats reach the next island lol but even then hahaha

Aokiji is like a code name, all the admirals have one

Literally right down everything from Ohara lol easily one of the most important locations in the series

robin deserves everything

My God. I'd have thought that watching it again for like the 4th time would make it hurt less. NOPE! I swear it's the saddest story to me in all of fiction. I've never wanted a character to just "have a good life" as much as I wish for robin to have that.

Watching Jack cry is somehow so entertaining, am I evil for feeling this way?

also the fact that all of this is still relevant a 800 chapters/episodes later

PEAK FICTION

This is peakk

All of the admirals are given a codename/title. It's always a color + an animal. Aokiji means "Blue Pheasant" in japanese. Kuzan is his real name, which is what he was called here since he was still a vice admiral at the time.

So it's not that Aokiji is his first or last name. It's actually his title/alias. Aokiji translates to "blue pheasant". Without giving away the 2 other admirals titles i'll just say that the other two are "yellow monkey" and "red dog". Kuzan is his "actual" name. I don't believe we've ever learned what his last name is or if he even has one.

I want to say something more about the story of Ohara but I probably shouldn't because there is alot of anime only fans in here. All i can say is Oda never forgets things.

I've been skipping the OP episodes since I'm all caught up and I'm not trying to watch it again. But there are impactful moments I will jump in on. Like EP 278. Love it. Keep up the reactions.

I've been counting down the days for this specific episode reaction 🥲

Oda is a monster when it comes to backstories ;-; Great reaction as always, I hope you called it a day after these two eps because it was HEAVY - "I want to live!" 🔥😭😭😭👍

kuzan is aokiji's first name, this was back when he was a vice admiral

During the staredown when Robin yelled that she wants to live, Zoro made a strange motion where he partially unsheathed a sword and resheathed it, making sure the metal parts hit each other and made a sound. This is samurai gesture known as Kincho. It signifies a vow that has been made and cannot be broken. By doing this, Zoro vowed to make sure he can grant Robin's desire to live, or die trying. Essentially, this is man pledged his life for hers.

Seen this scene 100+ times and every single time I tear up. With you brother, stay strong! Only gets better from this point on. (:

Now my friend, I ask you why, why do fans consider this show to be one of the best in the world? It’s for scenes like THIS!! This is the POWER of one piece, and this emotionally charged storytelling and characterization is why this series is crowned "King of shonen" and the touching and evocative writing that oda delivers. If you can believe it, the bar even gets higher.

yup this episode broke every reactor who I’ve seen watch the series. Even the ones that hardly get emotional. I was messed up too

you have to intensionaly overreact right, i have watched the last 270 episodes with you and i havent cried once and it is not like i am not a sensitive person i cried every 30 plus times i rewatched the lion king, i cant see that being not an overreaction

I love the thumbnail 😂😂😂

"Now she wants to die man." It's worse than that man, she was prepared to die at 8, here in this moment. She pushed on for her mother, her people and for the future for 20 years fighting that want. She finally can't deny that she's just been on borrowed time through everyone else's wishes. Not like they aren't partially hers, but she took on the world alone and as a child as the coalescence of a dream for truth

you have to intensionaly overreact right, i have watched the last 270 episodes with you and i havent cried once and it is not like i am not a sensitive person i cried every 30 plus times i rewatched the lion king, i cant see that being not an overreaction

No single episode, movie, or book, has ever made me cry as much as this episode has. It took me days to go back to feeling “normal” the first time. Maybe it’s because I’ve dealt with suicidal thoughts since a young age, but hearing Robin finally say she wants to live was a train wreck for me. Amazing reaction as always. Thank you for existing.

Technically the next few episodes are not filler but recap episodes. I personally wouldn’t skip them because they have at least 20 seconds each episode of new info. If you just skim through each one without recording them that should be fine.

Everytime man... these scenes just... :'(

*hugs* ;___;

i will sob again with you

Kuzan is his name and Aokiji (meaning Blue Pheasant) is an alias. According to the wiki: "His alias and other admiral aliases (Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru), are taken from Momotaro legends (Momotaro met Pheasant, Dog, and Monkey as friends to accompany him in his journey)"

i'll say it everytime it's necessary, GODA

I think you should write down that Vice Admiral Sakazuki guy's name in your note. Just in case he appears again in the future. And yes, Aokiji is an alias that means blue pheasant.

Just want to clarify Saul says he's not like those giants from elbaph he's from a peacful giant tribe. also this was 20 years ago when Aokiji Kuzan was still a vice admiral

new one for the playlist lmao

Jack honest request please start uploading the videos on patreon as unlisted youtube videos. The videoplayer that patreon uses is honestly pure garbage. I play the video at 360p and still the video lags like hell while the youtube player can easily play videos at 1000p and plus.

Aware

So keep in mind its in the past so some peoples ranks are different. Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru. those are all code names. Aokiji's real name is kuzan. Also a reminder that Saul isnt actually from elbaf. great reactions as always.

offer hugs to the jack

I've been waiting for this moment since you started reacting to OP 🥲

Haven't watched yet but that thumbnail already made my day :')

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!! HUGS!!!!

Can't wait to watch this when I come Back from the Gym xD

i look at the thumbnail.... i look at the episode number...... i understand :(
