Perfect casting

Also you know why Crocodile's bounty is gone. He's a warlord of the sea. Just like Mihawk, the Warlord's bounties have been cancelled because they work for the World Government.

I can't tell you how many people hate Chopper's heavy point. It is just uncanny valley horrible. I think that enough people hate it that they'll hopefully fix it before Season 3. It's so jarring to go from cuteness to...that.

Convo between Nami and Sanji was chefs kiss. Too good, love how they added that in there. They portrayed Chopper's backstory was great. Makes me wanna rewatch his backstory in the anime. Great finale. Looking forward to season 3

Bruh yall got so many Villians to meet.

Nami should get the flare flare fruit (I already know who gets it🙃)

Stew · March 29, 2026

Here's a trophy bud. You're soooooooooooooooooooo cool for being ahead. If only you could just enjoy these videos without teasing spoilers like "another strawhat has a 2nd backstory." Bragging about being ahead is wild. 99% of us patreons are caught up with the show and the manga, you're not special bro.

Chillin Raichu · March 19, 2026

Michelle loves big chopper so much🥰🤣

C
Chillin Raichu · March 19, 2026

I know Toei hates the love Sanji is getting. Tired of youngins calling him “Lanji” in the last two arcs smh 🤦🏾

Chillin Raichu · March 19, 2026

21:49 Michelle trying to be tough is fuckin funny man.

Chillin Raichu · March 19, 2026

Michelle reminds me of chopper alot😂

I need season 3 bruuuuuuuh. I think this season actually has served as a good refresher for you guys on some things that happened early in the series. So much fun! Song at the end was lit

Bunie · March 19, 2026

Tbh i LOVE Sanji no matter what.. i may be the minority especially as a woman but I don’t mind the pervy/simp side of him in the anime. Ik it gets excessive at times but i find it easy to just dismiss as nothing more than just a gag. If you focus on his true attributes he’s honestly one of the best characters in the show imo. He’s my favorite straw hat right after Luffy ❤️

D
Dasha · April 6, 2026

from my experience sanji fans are mostly girls, so you are probably not a minority! I'm a woman too and he's my favorite character oat

N
Novelle · March 18, 2026

I very much prefer Live Action Sanji to anime Sanji. Alot of that is Toeis fault tho

P
Phyllis · March 18, 2026

Editor-san can finally catch a breath and more sleep since we have completed OPLA S2! Crocodile's actor is Joe Manganiello from Magic Mike. Chopper has a character song "Dr Tony Tony Chopper" and an official Chopper song.

14:32 I mean Sanji being the self-sacrificing type is consistent with the anime/manga too. I guess that's his 'flaw' is that he puts others before himself so much so that he'd give up his life for those he cares about. I'm telling you man... he's CHIVALROUS.

w
wram · March 18, 2026

I'm so glad the Live Action decided to go this route with Sanji, they succeeded in Sanji's portrayal while Toei Animations failed. I'm sure you've heard by now but Sanji gets done extremely dirty in the anime compared to how he is in the manga. Arguably one of the most complex characters in the entirety of One Piece. Of course the gag still exists in the manga with him getting flustered around women but it is 10x worse in the anime (and sometimes the anime flat out adds scenes that weren't there in the manga). I'm excited to see you guys react to more of Sanji as the anime progresses because it'll give you a little more clarity as to why the Live Action went this route with Sanji, after all he's meant to be chivalrous not a creep since his mother is what sparked his respect and love for women.

ao kaze · March 18, 2026

Naaaah Sanji’s my baby forever !! My favorite even in anime !

C
Chillin Raichu · March 18, 2026

Sanji is my favorite Strawhat.

C
Chillin Raichu · March 18, 2026

I think Ron should get Bon Clay on the Merry as his stomach tatt

C
Chillin Raichu · March 18, 2026

One Piece is the literal definition of delayed gratification. It’s like starting a fitness journey then seeing all your results from your hard work a year later.

C
Chillin Raichu · March 18, 2026

Tell that Editor to pick up the pace 😡

K
Kyle Schildroth · March 18, 2026

"The voice needs to have more growl to it" Literally didn't in the anime, literally talks the same foe every point except monster point, when he goes huge.

R
Rice & Ginger · March 19, 2026

just didnt work the same as in the anime. if you loved it though, thats awesome bro!

K
Kyle Schildroth · March 18, 2026

Also, best way to ruin a reaction is to harp on the same thing you dislike over and over again. We get it, you don't like practical effects, continuing to mention it over and over, just ruins the vibe of the reaction.

R
Rice & Ginger · March 19, 2026

appreciate you being here Kyle, but "harping" is just part of our reaction my man. you signed up for OUR THOUGHTS. We have for 4 years shared our thoughts just like this. We havnt changed. and we felt our thoughts and opinions to be super valid and true to what we were thinking while watching. I will always just say whats on my mind.

K
Kyle Schildroth · March 18, 2026

Also, in regards to the Chopper practical effects and it looking "goofy". May I remind you what anime this series is adapting? One Piece... an anime that is known for goofy and odd looking characters, which make them memorable and help drive what One Piece's core best feature is, beautiful narrative and story telling.

K
Kyle Schildroth · March 18, 2026

For people who claim to be anime watchers, the fact that they don't see how accurate the monster transformation is, makes me second guess their knowledge... Look at a side by side of the faces, they literally brought the anime face to life, it's the same face lol. Even if they did CGI instead of practical effects, it would still look like that because it's supposed to. So I guess my question for these people are, what were you excpecting?

C
Caleb Surratt · March 18, 2026

Get off the couch, take a drink of water, take a deeeeep breath and chill. It’s not that deep, they are a reaction Channel giving their reaction to a show, you’re allowed to not like every single aspect of something but enjoy it as a whole

K
Karaka · March 18, 2026

That pervert trope in anime wouldn’t portray well in live action. I’m glad they switched Sanji’s character up a little or else people would just see him as a creep

Q
Quitzx1 · March 18, 2026

isnt he more of a lover boy type not a pervert? I would consider Brook a pervert.

B
Brandon Solerr · March 18, 2026

anime sanji does suck and he gets worst with the women simping like it gets bad

C
Chillin Raichu · March 18, 2026

I almost dropped him as my favorite when the time skipped happened, too many nose bleeds

V
Vidilian · March 18, 2026

The Showrunner, Matt Owens' favourite Strawhat is Sanji so that explains why he is depicted how he is I guess lol.

B
Bibi · March 18, 2026

They had to make Sanji a simp or else he would be too perfect lol Sanji is such a great written character he is actually my second favorite strawhat the first is Luffy. You guys will understand more later..

w
wram · March 18, 2026

RESPECT!!! Sanji is so misunderstood especially to people who only watch the anime, damn you Toei Animations...

B
Bibi · March 18, 2026

Sanji talking about his mom 😭

T
Taka · March 18, 2026

honestly simpy sanji wouldn’t do well on a live action platform, I like the direction they’re taking with him. Sanji gets to step away from the toei hate 😂

M
McT · March 18, 2026

I think you two were massively sleeping on Usopp's ranking in the fav character polls this season. His Little Garden stuff was top tier. He and Sanji are both up there. And Zoro too probably just cause of his 1v100 episode (and he's way sillier this season)

D
Dspade · March 18, 2026

Okay I have some critiques. I feel like Sanji is way too chummy in this iteration. I've been reading and watching OP for over 10 years and Sanji to me always represented chivalry and coolness. As a guy who grew up in a kitchen run by pirates, he's supposed to have some edge to him but I don't feel that. He just feels like a bro. Also the Nami/Sanji & Luffy/Vivi dynamic is giving potential ship and idk how I feel about that either. It's like western entertainment just can't help itself but force love interests where it isn't canon(or needed) Idk that's just my take. But with all that aside, Brook seems perfectly cast and Netflix knocked it out of the park with Chopper.

ListenHome李勝宏 · March 18, 2026

Awesome reaction, guys! Congrats on finishing Season 2 of the One Piece live-action series—can’t wait for Season 3! Jamie Lee Curtis was originally the first choice for Dr. Kureha. She’s also a One Piece fan and even put herself forward for the role when she heard about the live-action adaptation. Unfortunately, due to scheduling and location conflicts, she had to pass on the opportunity. Katey Sagal did an amazing job as Dr. Kureha, but I honestly think Jamie Lee Curtis might have been even better (P.S. they’re actually good friends!). Joe Manganiello plays Mr. 0. He was Flash Thompson in the original Spider-Man—the guy who threw the punch in that iconic slow-motion scene where Tobey dodges it. He’s also been in Magic Mike and played a werewolf in True Blood.

K
King Kai · March 18, 2026

Oh dang that Tony Tony Chopper song is so catchy. I wonder if they’ll ever make that Ussop sniper song? Their both going on my workout songs list.

GoundG · March 18, 2026

Just a reminder to everyone, the one piece character popularity poll is currently live, go vote for your favorite character, all characters are sorted in order of when they were first seen except for the strawhat pirates being at the top so you can be spoiler free as long as you don't go to the bottom of the list (it's a long list) I might have voted for Usopp but I tell no lies, go vote for your favorite

K
King Kai · March 18, 2026

Say isn’t that guy sir croc Flash Thompson.

K
King Kai · March 18, 2026

I gotta say guys, the productions in this season is stellar. Great casts, great stunts, great acting, wonderful camera cinema works. They went all out!

D
Dadundudun · March 18, 2026

Regarding the Sanji conversation, he has actually been my favorite character since Baratie. He also always places highly on global character popularity rankings, currently being the 2nd-3rd most popular character. And, he is undisputably the most popular character with a large part of the female audience (alongside Law). But, it is often agreed upon that the anime leans a little too heavily on his "simp" gag, even more so than the manga. Regardless, he is still our "little Prince".

K
Keila · March 18, 2026

Ugh I teared up so hard at that small bit with Sanji.. I can't wait until you guys catch up in the anime ! I'm here for the whole journey!

G
GoundG · March 18, 2026

Sanji is also more of a simp in the anime than in the manga, Sanji is a much better character in the manga

R
Ricky Pham · March 18, 2026

Y’all aren’t caught up on a specific arc where it utilizes Sanji more once yall get there ur gonna c y the live action went this route with Sanji more

R
R · March 18, 2026

the actor that plays crocodile is Joe Manganiello. he was flash in the OG spiderman film. hes also been in justice league, how I met your mother and magic mike

R
R · March 18, 2026

the ending with the pic of chopper holding a gun telling us to leave a like got me laughing LMFAOO

M
Matt Brock · March 18, 2026

You haven't gotten to a specific arc yet so you have no idea how great Sanji is yet. He is a top 3 favorite character of mine pretty much equal with Luffy at #1. But Toei does go overboard with the Sanji gags in the Anime. Honestly if you want the best Sanji that would be the Manga one.

S
SOUL AGONY · March 18, 2026

Ngl i love the ending it kinda reminds me of old Tim burton films

the conversation between nami and sanji holds such a special place in my heart. 🥹🥲
