| Soon as the snow fell I immediately thought of CLANNAD, and then Luffy cut off Merry to apologize for their negligence and it cut to Usopp so fucking heartbroken over the scene and everything just broke. Like ugh, who'd have thunk it. Definitely up there as one of the most emotional moments in anime/manga history. Getting people to cry over a ship takes skill. |
 |
| Oh my god, I was holding up pretty well the entire scene, feeling bad for everyone and all but still holding up, BUT THEN HE HAD TO APOLOGIZE!!! OH MY FUCKING GOD MERRY WHY DID YOU HAD TO DO THIS, I'M COMPLETELY DESTROYED RIGHT NOW :(((( Good bye, sweet friend :'( |
| And now I joined the club of people who cried while seeing this episode T-T 2 sad 4 me |
 |
| Saw some Planks on fire. Felt nothing. |
| Over ten years ago since I've seen this episode for the first time and I'm still crying like a baby. One Piece greatness never dies. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Very emotionally touching episode. No wonder this is the number one anime. |
| Iceburg said himself it's a miracle it's even moving,they're expert on ships,they know what go on with a ship how much it can move it's beyond his capacity of thinking that Merry is still moving this is a miracle a miracle is something by human intellect you cannot explain with logic explanation you can't explain how was it moving? that is Merry Merry was moving you can't explain why? WHY was it moving it's because it had LOVE for us you know what I mean,it didn't want to sink yet it just wanted our crew to be save. And it was saying sorry at the end. What was Luffy saying: "we're sorry we couldn't protect you the way that you deserved to be protected". omg. I wanted to stop the video and ended the video and name it "Welcome Back Merry". Hands down dude this has to be the greatest arc of all time,like I said numerous time I have not seen as many anime as you guys have but there has to be something out there that I have not seen which is beyond beyond superb that can close to Enies Lobby,man what an arc including Water 7 i know it's different arc but it's 1 book 1 story you know what I mean what did it not cover yo what greatness have we not seen that was in here,the Lucci fight,Gear 2 came twice saving Robin the Love for Merry the measures which Usopp went for Merry,Everyone was like give up give up he never Gave Up! yo. You know sometimes in life you just have to accept facts! I know when you love something so much you would turn a blind eye to everything else but sometimes you just have to accept the truth yo and Usopp has accepted that right at the end,did you see how much tears were dripping. You know what made me really sad at the end was Merry's voice Merry's voice is something else I know it's like a spirit and that but that voice touches your heart yo,(I know you guys might take I'm crazing but that's how I felt that's what I say you know what I mean). And when Merry was saying I'm sorry! How can you apologizes to us when we are the ones..... :( :( :( :( This episode hit me so hard man,my minds not there yo.This has to be the best arc in my opinion,Enies Lobby is something that I will look back in years to come,I want to know what One Piece fans think if you're up to date and say there is no arc like this or there is an arc that you've experienced right now that is better than this? I don't know obviously because I'm not up to date but I don't know something about this arc man.... but I'm only halfway through I'm sure there will be more amazing more arcs later. But now we need to get a new ship obviously because we're pirate we need to get a new ship. |

| It was very sad episode. I didn't expect that I can cry so much. Goodbye Merry |
| I'm shook. What an immaculate episode. I cried so hard with the Straw Hats, it was like I was one of them. I guess in a way the audience is a member along with the Straw Hats on all their adventures so it makes sense. I'm stumbling on my words that was so emotional. Certainly the best ending to an arc with the Lucci fight and the Merry escape and farewell. It was really beautiful how the Straw Hats that didn't know about the Klabautermann still knew deep down inside their hearts that it was the Merry who saved them itself. Luffy taking that feeling as fact was so him. I had initially assumed that she survived being dumped into aqua laguna herself but what makes it more special is that it was Iceberg who helped her get into shape for one final adventure. He was so amazed by her speaking to him that I think that's why he followed her out. Not long ago Luffy and Usopp fought over having to let the Merry go but this time you could see the tone had completely changed when Iceberg told them it's time to let her rest and Luffy responded "okay..." without any arguing from the crew. Iceberg's story was enough for them to finally get it through their heads that this is what she wanted and she's pushed herself really hard this whole time to get here. Thanks to Iceberg the Merry has finally gotten her final wishes, it would be disrespectful to fight against her own will to drag her injured self onwards. So, them all realizing the Merry saved them as her last wish, of course, they would be inclined to finally accept moving on. It was time. As Usopp said about the Merry "He to... is prepared." They finally understand this is what the Merry wants. So, instead of letting her float in the sea they set her aflame and watch her go. In Luffy's words, they'll watch her until the end. This scene was brilliant in so many ways but the first that got to me was the musical choice. It was from the ED which occurred at the point in the arc where Usopp and Robin and Merry were all at threat of leaving the crew forever. It wasn't clear who it was saying farewell to in the ED at the time, at first I assumed it was Usopp, but as it went on I realized that it was probably the Merry. That ED playing here during her farewell about 100% proves that. It was a great throwback to the earlier song and it was an awesome way to invoke memories of the past and the emotions we felt then. I loved seeing everyone's reactions to their beloved friend finally leaving after fighting far longer than any ship should. In the first look at all their expressions, we had Robin, Franky, and Sanji all melancholic, Chopper in absolute shock, Nami with a look of misery, but my favorite part of this look at the crew was Usopp and Zoro. If you recall the weakness Usopp felt as he confronted his own uselessness and the soon to be demise of his friend, the whole reason why he fought Luffy and left the crew, you'll see a massive, MASSIVE contrast. Usopp answered Zoro who asked him how he felt and he responded "everyone must say farewell. This is a man's parting. Not even a tear should be shed." And, when looking at all the casts expressions, Usopp stood in the same pose as Zoro, arms crossed, and confident. They're saying goodbye to a friend who did their best and can die happy. You can see it in their poses. This is such a freaking contrast to the Usopp of the past. I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS JEEZ. They've totally become my favorite One Piece duo. Just to feed my own observations of Zoro and Usopp growing closer, this was Zoro extending his hand further than he had to, to check on Usopp, and later when Usopp started to bawl under his mask to the Merry's words he paid concerned(?) atttention once more. Robin later tears up. It hit me that the Going Merry to her is akin to her first home since Ohara. This is the first place she's been able to trust the people around her since she was 10. Of course, saying goodbye to your second home would be crushing. Zoro thinking of the memories they had on her, declaring they would accomplish their dreams was so Zoro. I love when you get a touch of the melancholic nostalgia and care he has under his tough exterior. The Straw Hats are different people than when they arrived at Water 7. Robin has nakama she can trust. Luffy has shown so much weakness as he cries once more because he has to say goodbye to a friend, even exclaiming that it's his fault for this which only made my own tears fall harder. We got to see a side of Zoro's compassion for the Merry and Usopp as well as the level of commitment he has for Luffy, even being able to betray a friend without a second thought. We saw Sanji's emotional side as he kicked Luffy in the face and disobeyed orders to cheer up Chopper and visit Usopp. Chopper was tested in battle and fought so hard he nearly died for it. Usopp has hopefully learned his value to the crew far exeeds the ability to keep up in battle, that he has skills that he can utalize, bravery and friendship he can use to protect the ones he loves, and he clearly and undeniably has learned since that fight with Luffy how to let go of the friend he loves. It was touching and beautiful and such a freaking amazing ending to an amazing arc. The standout parts of the episode for me was how Oda has made me fall in love with a ship and cry like the members of it. The reuse of that ending theme for emotional effect. And, the deep meaning of every crew members reaction to these events. The few times Luffy has broken down, I can only remember the Usopp fight and officially this Merry farewell, have been some of my favorite scenes in the entire anime. His limits are when he has to say goodbye or betray his friends, that's when his emotional strength collapses. We'll miss you buddy... |
| I cried buckets. Sayonara, Merry. ;_; |
| For nearly 300 episodes, we rode alongside the Straw Hat Pirates on the Going Merry, and now we must part ways with her. This was a very saddening episode, I'm all teary-eyed now. Great use of the OST, that helped a lot to keep the emotions high. |

| One piece is the only anime which can make me cry for a boat |
 |
| Only One Piece can make me cry my eyes out over a ship... Merry's been with them ever since the beginning and her time has finally come right after she saved the Straw Hats for one last time. I'm very glad that Iceberg repaired her even though it went against his logic as a shipwright since she wouldn't have been able to do her friends a service if it weren't for that. I was able to hold in most of the tears when all those memories of the Going Merry taking on all those adventures ran in the crew members' minds but the waterworks really started flowing when she started uttering her last words to them. Rest in peace, Going Merry... In other news, Nami's tits are suspiciously well-detailed in this episode kek |
 |
| I held back my tears for some time. But as soon as Merry started speaking... I couldn't take it anymore. As Usopp said, "Everybody must someday say farewell. This is a man's parting. Not even a single tear should be shed." But even though, we both ended up crying :( Goodbye Merry, thanks for all the good memories. I'll never forget you and neither will the Straw Hats! |
| MMMEEERRRRYYYYYY. what a great send off. i thought they would keep the figurehead or something from the boat as a momento though. |
    - ✼ - 👏 hyped for 2022 lockdown 👏 👏 all good things come in threes 👏 - - ✽ - - |
| Before watching OP I thought the fandom was ridiculous for crying over a ship. Turns out I'm ridiculous, too. I feel like crying so fucking much. |
 |
| I have always seen that iconic scene of the ship burning down and always though it was a character death and when I found out it was a ship I laughed. Well I’m not laughing anymore. Rip Merry |
| If there's a hole there's a goal-Master Oogway |
| I bet those people who wanted a new ship because Going Merry was too small, are crying right now! What an emotional episode. :( |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| I've rewatched this show 5 or 6 times now. But every fuckin' time. I can't stop crying like a fuckin' bitch. I don't know what's wrong with me? T__T !!!!Merry!!!! |
 |
| The friend avobe is correct, fufu. And as for the Going Merry, I can't quite say I cried, but those flashback accompanied with the music were pretty nice. |
 |
| I'm re watching one piece and still can't hold my tears. Just whole body is sticky with tears. Damn Oda making us cry over a shop, only you can do that. |
| "When they're alive, you can enjoy watching them struggle. When they're dead, you can enjoy tearing out their guts. Tales are things you get to enjoy twice." |
| Episodes like this, are the reason One piece deserves all the love it gets... R.I.P. Merry !!!!!!!! :( |
| This is easily one of the most heartrending & memorable moments in One Piece. I felt especially connected to Merry's farewell this time around as the family cat passed away recently and I was there to witness his final moments as he had long lived beyond his normal limits. He was 14 years old and was there when I first saw this scene 10 years ago. The pain of loss is incredibly heavy, but those memories that defined the journey are what keep the grief at bay. To both Merry and my cat, thank you and be at peace. |
 |
| Merry was a real one all the adventures and memories will not be forgotten The Going Merry will be missed |
 |
| i cried like a baby, still wiping tears F |
 |
| Here I am, (once again) crying over the most wonderful ship. R.I.P. Merry! please don't let me cry in vain |
