| One Piece is brilliant in many ways - excitement, sense of adventure, epic battles, amazing plots, and most importantly - the ability to elicit deep emotions within you, whether it's to make you feel excited, laugh, cry, or rage, etc. One of those emotions that I find One Piece does really well at some points is emotional shock. And there are many moments in One Piece where certain events completely shocked me emotionally because they either seem to come out of nowhere or even if they were hinted at and justified, you did not expect Oda to actually pull the trigger. And so, I wanted to discuss and share with you what I feel is my top 10 most emotionally shocking moments in One Piece. Note that this is pretty personal and is completely subjective to one's own experience, opinions, and feelings when watching it. So do feel free to disagree and share with me what you think are your own most personal shocking moments in One Piece. #10 #9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 And finally... #1 Honorable mentions: And here are some other moments that for me didn't make the cut, that I found to be sort of shocking or at least pleasantly surprising. Well, that's it for me. What do YOU guys feel are the most emotionally shocking moments of One Piece for you? Let me know by posting below! Enjoy the discussion! |

| For me, the most emotionally shocking moments are, in Skypiea, when Nami finds the second half of that house and Brook's revelation about Laboon. |

Ah yeah - that part where Nami finds the second half and discovers the truth about this island - I completely glossed over that! That deserves to be in the honorable mention. I'll add that. Thanks! :) |
| Vivi's not joining the crew was very surprising for me. |
| Merry death was the sadest death in all manga's i readed.It was the fist and only until now that i cried reading a manga. |

| 1. Sabo's return. Many fans predicted he would come back, but not in this current arc. In fact Sabo has been one of the most discussed One Piece, due to his supposed death.. people always made jokes, when by claiming that characters who yet to be revealed or shadowed were him. In fact if someone stated that Sabo were to appear in Dressrosa, they would have been laughed at. It was also a huge shock, esp. since there was no kind of hint that he would be appearing in the arc. Now in terms of his appearance, history with the revolutionaries and his combat prowess, he has become one of the most interesting characters. was a huge shock, especially when there was no kind of hint. Luffy's reaction was how I felt.. it was 2. The Ohara Holocaust - Extremely sad. From Aokiji murdering Saul, to the innocent civilians get murdered by Akainu's orders. In terms of scale it was the best One Piece Flashback, and it was a long awaited flashback. I was sympathized with Robin. 3. Nami's flashback and life. I didn't expect her flashback to be so sad or life as being a member of Arlong's crew to be that sad. 4. Dragon and Garp related to Luffy. It wasn't that shocking since it was foreshadowed, but him being one of the best marines ever was, and someone who has a serious demeanour like Dragon was. 5. Bon Clay remaining in Impel Down. This did surprise me and was quite sad, since he deserved to escape out of everyone, from saving Luffy's life, when the likes of Buggy and Mr 3 were quite the opposite. 6. Brook and Laboon. Completely caught me off-guard. I didn't think much of Laboon, but when it turned out Brook was looking to go back, it added more depth to his situation and to Luffy's promise. 7. Kuma turning into a 'mindless robot'. I am surprised this is overlooked by fans. I find it sad at the time, he could never tell Luffy or the rest of the strawhats who he was and was resented. Plus the whole losing your memory thing. 8. The post war arc. This entire arc was a shock. It was that Luffy's life was explored further, esp. the Goa Kingdom where the high and mighty look down on average citizens. 9. Law targeting Doflamingo the whole time. There was always something to the alliance that I felt wasn't being explained, but when we find out Law just wanted to take down Doflamingo, and even acknowledging that he would lose his life in the process shocked me, esp. when I thought one of his priorities was to get One Piece. I am looking forward to his backstory. 10. Shirahoshi being Poseidon. |

| Wow, that was quite a fantastic list! I really like how well thought-out and even unique the moments you picked! Many of them I would not have thought of and I even want to add a few to my honorable mentions list. Jado said: 2. The Ohara Holocaust - Extremely sad.

I guess I could add the Ohara Holocaust and Buster Call to my Honorable Mentions. :) It was a bit of an emotional shock for me as well, and it made Robin's struggle all the more lonely and sad. And the Buster Call's complete demolition of the entire island was quite terrible to say the least - it reminded you of how horrible humans can be. Nami's backstory is very sad, especially the part when she stabbed herself continuously in the arm in frustration and helplessness. I would add that to the list had I not already mentioned something from Nami's own Arlong arc already :). Jado said: 5. Bon Clay remaining in Impel Down. This did surprise me and was quite sad, since he deserved to escape out of everyone, from saving Luffy's life, when the likes of Buggy and Mr 3 were quite the opposite. This was quite emotional for me as well. And I approve! For me personally, however, it's not so much shocking as Bon Clay did that once already and that was a pleasant surprise rather than an emotional shocker. Jado said: 7.

Plus the whole losing your memory thing. Wow, actually I did overlook that! I can't believe I did! I'll put this in the honorable mentions list. If I had a #11, this would be it. Good eye. :) Jado said: 9. Law targeting Doflamingo the whole time.

I am looking forward to his backstory. I quite look forward to his history as well. Law is one of the most popular non-SH characters in One Piece and he is for a reason! He is shrouded in mystery and there are so many questions I want to ask about him - namely, where the hell is his crew and what happened to them? |
