I’d move wano to S and fishman to B. Other than that, nice list. |
| @Tomek-Masiewicz The one thing I'm missing post timeskip is the sense of adventure we felt whenever we didn't know what would come next. Post Punk Hazard the route was set in stone except for the Whole Cake Island detour. @JPointerrr Wano is potenially S tier, it depends on how it will wrap up. I can see why many wouldn't put FMI in A tier or above. I was pondering a bit whether to put it in A or B. However, FMI is a significant arc in the grand scheme of things(we'll eventuelly see how significant), especially in terms of themes. It introduced new lore on top of the Poseidon reveal. And I love Jinbe, Tiger, Otohime and how the Straw Hats dominated. Straw Hats assemble, Luffy knocking out 50000, blood transfusion etc. The arc had 10/10 moments that made me ignore the weaker parts. |

And it was drag out. Idk abt dressrosa manga but wano is my favourite arc Espacially the manga  |
Trickieking said: Not perfectly thought through, but I mostly see no reason to align it differently. I usually don’t like ranking stuff, since I often shwift my view, opinion, fascination about certain things. Like right now, I can’t do differently but put Skypiea(Enel, jokes) and Alabasta(Hook, literal lol) in S tier! I ranked by feelings, reveals, personal attachment and favorite characters, in that I thought of quantity and quality as equals (Dressrosa many good backstories n fights, Alabasta high stakes n realistic immersion). The lower Tiers mostly had great moments but only by including certain points in the Arc. Everything with Hiriluk in Drumisland was peak, but not Wapol or general depth of the storyline there (peak Luffy moments, but for a ”lazy-writing“ reason->Nami got bit in the Jungle), so ”just“ A-Tier. For Wano, I’m not sure yet but definitely A-Tier for island setup, build and overall developments (excluding the graphical qualities). General rating (for now): S-Flawless story development, story(/ies), humanity, immersion, innovation A-Peak emotional moments, characters, jokes, stakes, introductions, flawed structure/length, low innovation, mid reasoning for story relevance B-Great jokes, side stories/characters, island/ship-build, immersion, reveals, twists C-Just mainly great for foreshadowing, jokes, smaller/some bigger twists, characters (except Legend Buggy) D-Okay island builds, characters, fights, twists, simple arc structure, jokes (Afro Luffy was just the best but no peak) -overall too memorable structure, thus, skippable for me Lol skypeia better then water seven 😂 |
Well, here is mine. |
Why was Baratie an A for you? |
Zou and Reverie only got to B tier? The former is one of the most important arcs since it revealed the process needed to reach Laugh Tale, and the latter arc set up a lot of events that will undoubtedly be important once Wano ends. I mean they weren't worthy of S tier for sure, but the fact that you placed them on the same tier as a forgettable arc like Little Garden just kinda made me do a double take lol. |
| @Ichigo_Uzumaki57 The manga definitely didn't have that repetitive flashback problem. So yeah, my first impression of that arc was GOATED, even tho even manga readers were complaining too that it dragged. Especially during that stretch from chapter 750-757. @Skypiea hast du dir Skypiea damals auch auf RTL2 gegönnt? Kam anders. |

Interesting, ours are somewhat similar but I prefer to split up the arcs a bit differently. Here's mine: Our biggest differences are probably: - You like Zou and WCI a lot more than I do haha - I like Baratie and Drum Island a lot more than you |
 |
| @AOD-MAL Mihawk's first appearance, Zoro's character defining loss and speech, Luffy's display of willpower, Sanji's debt and the tearful farewell are definitely among the top moments of OP. If Drum was just Chopper's backstory and the Sakura blooming at the end of the arc it would've been S tier. And well, many reasons to love WCI and way less to hate. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
Before I begin, lemme just say my rankings are based off enjoyment and feelings rather than purely in-depth story and structure analysis. Baratie was fun for me. Instantly liked Sanji as a character and his backstory before becoming a full-time cook. Secondly, Zoro. And why? Because of Mihawk. It goes without saying that the current Zoro in Wano Country wouldn't be if not for Mihawk hammering him 100%, making him realise he is weak. He is the reason why Zoro is stronger as a fighter and a person. |

Sure, Little Garden is forgettable compared to those two. But like I told @Trickieking, I'm listing them based on my enjoyment of the arcs. Yeah, major plot points were dropped there, setting the motion for the current story now. But another thing that made it feel like a B to me was their length. I was binging. That just made me brush past it just retaining the important info squeezed in. |
I have a lot of D-tier arcs as it took me a lot of time to get hooked to op |
this is my tier list  i love all the arcs in my S tier a lot and Whole Cake is definitely my favorite arc followed by water 7/Enies Lobby which i consider as one arc as for a bit more controversial ones, i actually have Impel Down> Marineford, since in Impel Down Luffy got like a substitute crew while the actual crew was away and also i had such a blast with Impel Down but Marineford, as great as it was, i kept thinking only about the rest of the crew, and also i don't like Ace much and Fishman Island.... well Fishman Island is easily my LEAST favorite arc in all on One Piece. hear me out, this arc was built up for like 200 episodes, since after Enies Lobby but was the payoff good enough? no. not in the least. there were some hype moments and the location was amazing, sure but that's not enough to make me forget how much of a disappointment this arc was, both in the manga and anime. and the pacing was very bad. for most of the post timeskip era, the pacing is terrible but i still love arcs like Dressrosa and Whole Cake Island because of how good and packed the story is in them, Fishman Island was just boring as hell with a very bland villain. |

 |
There's mine only thing rly need to say is that I've only just got wano so haven't placed it and I watch all of East blue about 6 years ago and when I restarted One Piece started from loguetown so may be being a bit harsh on the old arcs, especially along park. |
| Well this here is my tier but take it with a grain of salt 😅😥 (also I rated and placed them like i only started the manga at Dressrosa in 2013/14, so my rating is a mixed) The tiers are all right but not the placements. I couldn't decide between some of the arcs like for example where I wanted to put Jaya. It belongs in the A tier in my opinion but I'm not sure where exactly (also) in comparison to the other arcs, but it still belongs to one of the better arcs in the A tier, etc. 😂😭🤔🤷♀️ Edit: I also placed Wano for example behind Whole Cake Island because it isn't over yet. Edit 2: Albasta for example is a bit more in the right place, it's 100% behind Skypia and some of the other arcs (like Fishmen Island) in the S tier. Edit 3: I'm really a bit torn about Albasta.. 🤔😅😥🤦♀️  |

One Piece got too many top moments. You can easily make a top 100. Ok, it wouldn't be easy to rank the GOATED moments. Actually pretty wack of me to not put Logue Town S tier for this alone. @-THEBeast- @ToG25thBaam It's weird to weigh Post War and pretty much all the aftermath/transition/set up arcs against the ones that told a complete story itself. You had the ASL flashback and some of the most interesting worldbuilding chapters. + episode 505 was one of the greatest So yeah, S absolutely justified. |

| I'm an anime only watcher, and some might view the Dressrosa arc as S tier, its the main reason i quit watching One Piece. The animation and pacing were so bad and slow, that i just couldnt handle it anymore. If One Piece ever ends, i hope the entire anime gets overhauled in movie parts, or shorter compact arcs, cause let's be honest, the 1000+ episodes that we have now, could be told in less than half those amount of episodes, and still tell the entire story without sacrificing much. |

I know, and that's why I included the highly doubt clarification. Obviously I'm still in an early phase and I have a lot of the main dish of the story still to try, and it's likely in the way I'll find arcs I'm going to enjoy more, in particular I have high expectations for the famous Marineford arc many fans refer to when talking about the best parts of the series. It's only that I doubt when I catch up and make a complete ranking I'm going to forget to include Drum Island among the top spots, because it was the one which sealed the deal to earn a place in my favorites. And the reason for that is that I felt it was up until that point the one, despite not really being very long, to leave the bigger long-lasting impression and/or mark. It was short, but highly effective emotionally. I liked how (at least the way I perceived it) it has a nice surprise factor in the sense you think the arc is going to be about just the crew solving whatever conflict the island had while attempting to cure Nami of her illness but ended up being more than that with Chopper's introduction and story; it's different from the previous new-member-joining-the-crew arcs because as opposed to those where you always expected since the beginning that Zoro, Sanji, Usopp and Nami would join, in this one you don't expect that for Chopper once he's introduced, because as opposed to the other four, it's not a character that stands out in the series posters; it goes more unnoticed. Obviously it was also almost humanly impossible not to become fond of and end up being very moved by the little character, his backstory and "humanization" process. The ending showing both his internal conflict of feeling insecure about joining the crew because he saw himself as an inferior animal unable to adapt to them and be treated as equals and also the external conflict with Dr. Kureha who refused to let him leave and join a crew of pirates -although in reality at the bottom she was happy for him for finding a group of friends with whom he would live great adventures and finally enjoy his life- was the most interesting and intense to see so far. It helped a lot too that I've always had a thing for melancholic cold, snowy and isolated settings. Not to mention the very last moment is a bang and just wonderful, among other reasons like Luffy's determination to reach the top of the mountain which was also very inspiring. As I said, I know it's not one of the most important ones and it's probably I could end up enjoying even more one of the bigger arcs ahead, but it's so far the one I've enjoyed the most, enough to call the series already a favorite and I'll never forget how special, impactful and outstanding this one felt. |

It was short, but highly effective emotionally. I liked how (at least the way I perceived it) it has a nice surprise factor in the sense you think the arc is going to be about just the crew solving whatever conflict the island had while attempting to cure Nami of her illness but ended up being more than that with Chopper's introduction and story; it's different from the previous new-member-joining-the-crew arcs because as opposed to those where you always expected since the beginning that Zoro, Sanji, Usopp and Nami would join, in this one you don't expect that for Chopper once he's introduced, because as opposed to the other four, it's not a character that stands out in the series posters; it goes more unnoticed. Obviously it was also almost humanly impossible not to become fond of and end up being very moved by the little character, his backstory and "humanization" process. The ending showing both his internal conflict of feeling insecure about joining the crew because he saw himself as an inferior animal unable to adapt to them and be treated as equals and also the external conflict with Dr. Kureha who refused to let him leave and join a crew of pirates -although in reality at the bottom she was happy for him for finding a group of friends with whom he would live great adventures and finally enjoy his life- was the most interesting and intense to see so far. It helped a lot too that I've always had a thing for melancholic cold, snowy and isolated settings. Not to mention the very last moment is a bang and just wonderful, among other reasons like Luffy's determination to reach the top of the mountain which was also very inspiring. As I said, I know it's not one of the most important ones and it's probably I could end up enjoying even more one of the bigger arcs ahead, but it's so far the one I've enjoyed the most, enough to call the series already a favorite and I'll never forget how special, impactful and outstanding this one felt. Perhaps my english is falling me, but you said "I highly I doubt I won't be placing Drum among the top ones and not I highly doubt that it will still place among my favorites once I'm further into the series or something along these lines. Anyway, the surprise factor reason is a unique one and I'm absolutely with you that Chopper's character arc was one of the most emotional ones. Legit a tearjerker. As for Marineford. Better don't expect too much from the anime version. I for one think it's the arc where the anime managed to amplify the bull shit and aspects that weren't much of a problem in the manga became one. Speaking of characters coming across as inept. They either reacted slow, not all or disappeared. The off screening transitions were smoother in the manga. There was lots of focus on running and repetitive shouting to fill the 20 minutes of an episode. All that didn't translate well to anime. Maybe it's just the snobby manga reader in me talking, but I was irritated by how the padding actively made it worse during that arc in particular. Just a little heads up. @VolKur You're wrong hehe. I don't even follow the guy (or any AniTuber for that matter) |
