| Lol that bird. It was bigger and higher |
 |
| Shank is my favorite so far |
| Nice episode. Not much to say, remember it from the manga |
 |
| Really liked this episode, I'm guessing the next is when he and Nami properly meet. Also I really loved the backing music when the clown guy was introduced |
| Oooh the fruit takes away ability to swim. Interesting. It's pretty smart to write in such a caveat for something so powerful. Shanks is so cool. Some very meaningful backstory for Luffy's hat! |
| I really start to like this show Shanks is a real one finally luffy and the girl meet, I'm looking forward to the next episode |
 |
| Bro it was on sight Shank’s crew didn’t even hesitate to shoot the guy pistols aren’t for threatening and it was sad when Shanks lost his arm he was cool |
 |
| Wait there are sea dragons and giant ass birds in this world? Wtf? Also, why can't Luffy swim after eating the Gum-Gum fruit? Is that just like a drawback for eating the devil fruit? Do all devil fruits have drawbacks of some sort? So this Buggy guy has also eaten a Devil Fruit. As of now Luffy and Zoro have been separated so I guess he'll be working with that mystery girl for a while. |
 |
| The bird gag was pretty good. Shanks looks like Luffy's older brother or something. I'd prefer to see the backstory at the beginning of the series (like the manga apparently), but I guess they wanted to cut straight to the high-seas adventure for the show. |
 |
| Enter Shank!! Didn't expect Luffy and Shank backstory to be this early... So once you eat Devil Fruit, you got power but can't swim? Finally Luffy meet up with the mysterious girl. |
 |
| Gawd Shanks, I always feel like crying in this episode T _ T He is such a good man with such an amazing crew. I am sure one day he will be proud of Ruffy T _ T <3 |
 |
| they did a good job getting luffy's backstory in despite straying from the manga, left a few small things out but all is forgiven |

I pity such guys who comment on without watching it @DracullaDDragon If you're going to make cryptic comments talking shit in people's profiles, then don't be a pussy and block responses in your own profile. The fact that you think there's a "truth" to anime opinions is hilarious. You sound like you have 8th grade syndrome and you're desperate for attention. I bet you flipped your bangs when you wrote "pity" lol. I bet you think you're special because you're into anime marketed at little kids. |

| 23 MINUTE EPISODR AS A FLASHBACK??!?!?!?!1!/!!1 |
| so.. you ate a melon and... got rubber powers? :o not a fan of the big mouth gestures on this episode 2/5. brucescrews said: This anime series, just like in the manga, has tons of flashbacks and even more flashbacks within those flashbacks. That sounds awful, thanks for the bad news 😢 Seabury said: As nice as that fluffy moving backstory shit can be, I have to say that was my favorite part of the episode. i was crying but i didn't know why exactly... moving scenes yea -Kenshin- said: There are a few things that I dislike, like the cartoonish animation and childish script, some dudes lie when they said it got better afterwards you see, they don't want to admit that they wasted their time watching 1000+ eps hehehe. Bloodeon said: also how he got the straw hat! he looks better without it anyways. straw hats are for girls you know? Rasti_m23 said: But it really pisses me off. Barely any people think it's one of the best episodes in one piece -.- that's because in my experience I've watched better anime than one piece so I'm not impressed that early RexOrion said: Shanks is such a great father figure to Luffy I hope they reunite at the end of the Show. idk man, smth tells me he ded already... with one arm his possibilities of survival are stretch now *pun intended* |

| So I finally get to learn about why Luffy wears a straw hat in general. It was passed down to him by a dear friend in the form of Shanks. And Shanks himself is utterly awesome as a character, it was really horrific and sad that he lost one of his arms but for all the teasing he does at Luffy's expanse as a kid, he really does care for him like a father figure would. I honestly remember this flashback vaguely when I looked at the One Piece manga at a meetup in London once but I didn't get to go through the whole scene by the time I got to it. It's kind of a minor change because I do remember it happened in the beginning of the Manga but I couldn't remember that it was the very first thing in said manga. I really like that even though someone was bad mouthing Shanks, he just shrugs off, like a boss right there. Gotta say it was quite a memorable moment for me. Though I wasn't expecting to laugh so hard at Luffy in the present day being dragged away by a fricking bird and having him encounter the mysterious orange haired girl who I know as Nami. So far the first couple of episodes are just Luffy getting his main crew but again it still has my full and undivided attention at the very least. Great fleshing out the lore there, another great episode and we also see how Luffy became the rubber man he is today. So while there was a lot of stuff happening in the past, there was still a lot to really like about this. Well played, One Piece, well played. |
| Shanks is so cool.. All the characters are interesting.. :) The moment where Luffy is given the straw hat was touching. And speaking of straw hat, it's slow sublime movement across and above the sails reminded me of Miller's Crossing opening scene. And finally Nami and Luffy meet! I hope. |
| Shank's seems like a cool dude. |
