Laboon can recognize Brook through his afro. Strong roots bro:D

Like u probably think nothing special about the old guy watching over the whale

There is absolutely more "small" stuff you missed. But One Piece is all about that. Those small detail everywhere. It makes us think that the whole story was plotted out and planned well before even started:)

Funny Mini Spoiler AJ ask himself if there's some little thing he's been missing, right at the moment when he's missing something

Like what Lucas said, the show has a tendancy to drag from now on. While some arcs are a little better than the others, It can be very annoying having to rewatch old flashback footage too many times. There is a group, called One Pace, who cut and edit the anime to match the manga structure and pacing. I think you can look into this to see if you wanna react to it instead. However, be careful as the platform they choose to post their content on is pretty sketchy and only works well with chrome. If you decide to react to that instead, I think it's a good idea to always have your ad blocker, pop-up blocker, malware blocker and VPN on to be safe. By the way, I love your content and reactions!

Brook is the best! That Laboon connection might just be my favorite OP twist, it still gets me everytime! Loved how shocked you were, but in a good way.

YES! I was waiting for your reaction to Brook and Laboon connection! One thing I really don't like about this phase in One piece, and I think you will start to notice too AJ is that for some arcs now I feel they really abuse from flashbacks, either they do unnecessary flashbacks or extends too much their flashbacks, like in this one where they almost show the entire episode, thats something I think got better in recent arcs, but is only beginning in the episodes you are reacting right now

Another one of my favourite scenes from one piece 💕 Oda really does knock it out of the park when it comes to longterm planning 🤣

I think it was about 7-10 years before we came full circle with Laboon. I was in tears like Franky lol

To answer your question, his first appearance was in ep 62. Airdate March 21, 2001 (in Japan) & June 30, 2009 (for Crunchyroll airdate). Ep 353 aired on May 11, 2008 (Japan).

Laboon forshadowing Brook is one of my favorite examples of Forshadowing in all of One Piece
