ONE PIECE EPS. 674 & 675 REACTION!🏴‍☠️

I was so annoyed with Usop the whole first episode i was mad that we got stuck with Usop and didnt recruit sniper king instead. Usop will never compare smh

its funny that they will be watching mushoku pretty soon because OP is nothing compared to that train wreck of an anime when it comes to sus relationships

Last few episodes dropped Ussop at bottom of the barely among the straw hats 😅

My problem with Usopp is the fact that he genuinely shouldn’t be part of the crew. He has had some cool moments, but he is a liability to be around, is a pathological liar and will turn his back on you when you need him most. He’s done it multiple times. What value does he bring to the table? He could hammer and nail some boards before Franky became part of the crew but that’s about it. The anime gives him his uncanny sniping ability, but in the real world, this genre of human being is someone you should get far away from, because at the very least… if you make it out… he’s going to be in a bar telling stories as if he was the hero that saved the day. No bueno that is.

By the way depending on how u see it years definitely did pass by based of the change in season but I’m not sure how much passed by year op is not in our generation some places has progressed and regressed

I don’t care what people said…usopp is trash! I know he changed his mind and help them but after 2 years time skip he should at least be brave.. I know oda deliberately create this dumbass scene for usopp for us to feel pissed at usopp.. oda want to show us how coward usopp is!

oh man yall gonna get hard spoiled by the OP TCG cards fr hahaha

Being "woke" - per definition: "Being aware on social injustices and problems" is like christmaxxing. Even though, in America its considered being hateful. Since most of your followers are americans its really sad to see in the comments how people try to make it deep. Luckily good people still exist besides.❤️‍🔥🙏🏼

The other thing with Rebecca's age that you should know is, (I was curious as well to why Oda showed her as a 16 year old...) Not that I agree with it, because I grew up in America too but the age of sexual consent in Japan is 16 now, but was increased to 16 from 13 only in 2023 so different cultural norms and history associated with it

Just like R Kelly said. How Old is 15 really.

W Sakura Take Ron!!

Damn, the anime pacing didn't do Usopp any favor when he was running away lol

Bro I’m crying at the way Ron was tryna give Kyros the benefit of the doubt multiple times when it came to the age gap 😭😭

Michelle is right it is weird but so is Ron when he says the culture & time is a bit different. Oda decided to put a more risqué relationship nonetheless but I’m like Ron where I disconnect from the parts of the show that I feel like oda himself didn’t put much thought into

Rare ron wisdom 😭

I don't understand how yall seemingly look younger and younger year by year

By the way just to clarify some people here are wrong. But Scarlett had Rebecca at age 19 not 15.

Isnt royalty usually weird like that when it comes to ages? Them weirdos be pairing fetuses with middle aged princes

Btw I don’t know what Ron has been eating in Japan, but bro is cooking with the analysis and theories in both One Piece and Bleach. Bro’s been in top form since he arrived in Japan lol

Oda's storytelling with Usopp is just chefs kiss - A pirate lying to a bunch of gullibe ppl that he's a hero, only to admit to them that he's a pirate ("bad guy"), only to then tell them as a pirate he's going to become their hero. Beautiful

Yea the age thing is a bit odd but we gotta remember we can't compare real life to One Piece. We're not kings that need royal guards for our children lol, circumstances aren't the same.

I think in the manga she is 16 and he is 25. We may think it’s weird but in the majority of states 16 is the legal age and I believe it’s the same for all of Japan. It’s also not portrayed in a predator manner. I get the impulse tho.

I can't wait to see Michelle reaction to OG Dragon Ball 🤣🤣

I understand Michelle’s concerns, but personally I really don’t care about these issues in anime at all. When I heard Ron mention Mushoku Tensei, I got really excited, and I hope that someday we can see your reaction to the show.

I like the part where we secretly diss Sakura.

It’s worth remembering that for as good a writer Oda is, when it comes to numbers - he’s not the best. You’ll get to understand his creative process more reading the SBS, he sometimes says things randomly but because it’s him it becomes canon. It’s not just age - he does it with size too, they’ve had to change several character vivre cards over the years when they’ve realised the stats he’s gave doesn’t make sense 😅

Bro, I just love that you guys started dedicating more time on sharing your thoughts!

1st. The ussop situation felt more worse coz of the pacing 2nd. I mean Kyros committed murder and was given a chance to earn that freedom by winning matches its not like he got kidnapped …or else it was life in prison

It is really not Oda doing the worst fan service. It is the studio in my opinion. Oda definitely also leaned more into it as the story progressed, but it is more so the studio

Michelle's not wrong for bringing it up imo. Different cultures or not that age gap when they met is pretty weird man. There's also no reason she even had to be that age. Oda could've just as easily had Scarlet be in her early 20's or at least 18 and nothing about the characters or story would have changed. Same for Rebecca tbh. It's worth mentioning that Rebecca right now is 1 year older than Scarlet was when she met Kyros, and yet he considers her too young to fight as she's still just a child. So 16 is too young to fight but 15 is just right for a relationship with a grown man? C'mon now. Look y'all, I love One Piece too but it's okay to offer criticism where it's necessary. In my case, since they're all just fictional characters anyway I just pretend they're both adults. Like seriously, why not? Literally their ages don't affect the story in the slightest so you might as well ignore it for the sake of your enjoyment. If I can speak some uncomfortable truths; when it comes to this kinda stuff Oda is supremely hard to defend sometimes. But I give One Piece itself a pass because there's almost no honest reason for all these 16 year old girls to not be just a few years older than they are.

Tbf tho if you go all the way back to the Roman period, girls were often getting married at like 12–14. Even in Romeo and Juliet, which is set around the 1400s–1500s, Juliet was only around 13 Yeah if that happens in 2026 it’s weird, but the whole idea of 18 being the standard age of adulthood only really got solidified in like the 1970s–1980s

kyros wasn't kidnapped haha he was going to be imprisoned. he basically commuted his sentence

lmaoo sakura

Gosh dang the pacing is so slow this arc

lol how Ron gonna think usop fr one shot trébol 😂

It's a fictional world with fictional rules. I know the age thing is something to be careful with in writing, but I find it hard to care when it's anime. As long as the character looks grown up, I can pretend I didn't notice their actual age difference. The story comes from a different culture. This won't work the same in live action tho. They will have to adjust their ages lol Otherwise, that lolicon type shit can burn and die and people into that can go along with it. "200 year old witch but looks like a 10 year old" type shit is disgusting. I love the story between Scarlett, Rebecca and Kyros. Usopp is a coward. We've always known. For him to risk his life for people outside of the crew, it was always going to take a massive push. If you respect him less after this, I do not blame you! We'll see if he earns it back.

I know no one cares, but I'm on Chapter 20 on my manga journey. Loving the update Ron!

As an Asian American, the age gap is very weird. But Im pretty sure other countries has diff perspective on age gaps. When watching stuff from other countries, you gotta ignore stuff like this which sucks when you were raised differently. For example, my aunt's husband niece who moved from asian country to america last yr has huge gap with her boyfriend. she is about 20 now and the age gap is like 9 yrs.

They awakened the God

Scarlett is 19 years old at the time Rebecca is born and Rebecca is 6 years old when doflamingo comes to the country 10 years prior to current time

Michelle i think u need to study the topic of "The law about age of consent" its going to blow your mind..back in history and even until now the law of age consent pretty much the same, even way back few thousand years ago child marriages is normal ,check BIBLE or any other historic scripture. Not only until in our time pedophile becomes a thing! and the law of marriages still remain the same though. It's culture VS Human instinct , I'm not saying its ok but just something to put behind the back of our head

I understand the frustration on Usopp (I felt the same way), but the anime made it so much worse. Also, yall gotta remember, Usopps character is not how often he runs away, but instead how often he turns right back around despite his fear "Do it, and if you're scared, do it with fear, but do it" Bravery is not the absence of fear but acting in the face of fear.

The age thing will ALWAYS be a problem no matter the anime. Even the goat anime: dragonball had some very crazy shxt. But as long as those children dont do anything crazy on screen, i can blocc it out. Kinda..

Michelle finding out Scarlet was 15: PREDATOR!!! Michelle 2 minutes later when Scarlet is allowed to marry Kyros: What a good King. 🥺 Also, this is a tough stretch for my fellow Usopp truthers NGL. Trust!

He wasn't just a guy that came into her life; he was her bodyguard. The weirdness comes from him knowing her at 15.

I don't think the terrible pacing of this arc is helping with Usopp's piece. Also, 30 - 0? Ron is killing it

They showed rebecca's mom pretty clearly at the beginning and she is the spitting image of her. To think Viola was ever her mom is actually crazy.

dont force yourself to read :). Manga reading while also watching the anime is very tiring. Just whenever you feel inspired is the best way to read imo

Nah! Hard no on the Sakura slander. The anime did her absolutely no justice cause her character is so much better written in the manga. 😤

the age gap is eyebrow raising but not definitely not as weird as y'all think. i think americans underestimate how puritanical their cultural values are that the rest of the world doesn't really share.

Michelle its not that deep. Acknowledging that these things happen/used to happen in the world doesnt mean that you support it. Oda put slavery, racism, death, extortion, theft, manipulation and all of the worst crimes and atrocities known to mankind in this anime. Why are you playing social justice warrior over the fact that he also put in a relationship like this one? Its been happening for centuries! This isnt a right vs wrong issue. Its real life lore Btw, as far as relationships go, this isnt the worst thing that happened in Dressrosa

Don’t worry, Michelle. As a japanese person, I also find the way Rebecca is portrayed kind of weird. Scarlet and Kyros’s relationship feels a little weird to me too, but until a few years ago, the legal marriage age for women in japan was 16, so their relationship isn’t necessarily considered strange in that context.

bigger is crazy 😂😂😂😭

Nah I’m with u Michelle. Riku put Kyros in prison lol. Another thought I had rewatching this with y’all is if Riku was such a great king why was there so much inequality in his kingdom in the first place? Riku shoulda broke bread with the people of the slums to get that fixed.

To defend Oda, the anime’s pacing made usopps situation much worse. It wasn’t as bad in the manga. But the payoff imo was still good regardless.

cant wait to these months' reactions in this arc.. 🔥🔥🔥

to be fair i just let oda cook while watching one piece cuz i know he will explain later the guy is a master storyteller so when something is confusing just let it be it will be explain sooner or later. also with the exaggerations it was toei studios not oda he didn't have the rebecca like that or most the female cast in some parts of the story the studio did that at the time for the younger audience teen boys thats what they said.

Not sure how I feel about the weekly one piece discussions. Still waiting for that one piece discord discussion from a few months ago to be uploaded. So it’s like more one piece discussions is being held, but then I won’t even be able to see it

Yall will probably get spoiled while getting cards

One thing Michelle did get right this episode tho is 15 and 25 is weird asf that’s one thing I’m iffy ab oda he be making these age gaps insane asf he couldn’t at least make her older like 20-22 or something????

She thinking it’s crazy Riku made him a gladiator but if it was any other dictator kyros would’ve been dead the moment he put his hands on the king with the bat

“It seems pretty crazy” lmfao Michelle watched 765 eps of one piece and still doesn’t get how unrealistic and crazy the world of one piece is. U should’ve been use to this a couple hundred episodes ago🤣
