One Piece Eps 277-278 (full)

Robin is top 5 girls in anime. Best girl in the series.

Grady

Water 7 + Enies Lobby saga is my favorite in all of fiction.

Grady

Robin flashback is just so fucking sad, even by One Piece, the king of sad flashbacks, standards. I am crying in the club rn.

Grady

also a little thing to note jaguar D. saul died smiling just a little thing to remember for the future arcs

Crocodile didn't want a weapon kind of like the one discussed in the blueprints that Franky had, he wanted literally that exact weapon, Pluton, a battleship said to be able to obliterate an island in a single shot. But I thought it was awesome that both Crocodile and then CP9 were both jonesin for this Pluton thing.

Grady

yeah i wasen't so sure, because we heard both so far

NinoDonDino

It was Vivi that called Zoro "Mr. Bushido" - but I believe Robin calls him "kenshi" which translates to "swordfighter" or "swordsman"

Nezu Mikey

That's why Robin called everyone by their position/features and not their Name like Luffy = Captain, Nami = Navigator, Chopper = Doctor, Ussop = Longnose, Sanji = Cook, Zoro = Samurai (or swordman i think). To distance herself from the others and don't get bonded to them to much, because of her past. For me Robin has probably the saddest past of all the Straw Hats. 1. Even as a kind when everything was fine, she had like no friends except the other archaeologists. But all the kids didn't liked her and her Family/Aunt also didn't liked her. 2. She saw her whole iseland destoryed and all the people that meant something to her including her mother, for the one thing that she liked. 3. For 20 Years she was on the run and was used and betrayed. 4. Even after she joined Luffy she still didn't found true happyness, because there was still her past lingering in her mind until they met Aokiji and CP9. Which mad her suffer more again and drived her to sacrifice herself to save the only people she cares about. 5. Until this very moment she always thought that she had no right to live and that she should be dead, because that's what everyone always said. I think all those things combined make her Backstory the saddest, sure the other Straw Hats have also sad pasts but they didn't had to deal with pure shit for 20 Years.

NinoDonDino

Actually his nickname has been revealed in previous episodes (Don't remember which) but this is the first sneak peak on how he looks.

Also the nickname is always a color and an animal. Aokiji is Blue Pheasant.

Cody

It was Aokiji. You get a nickname when you become an Admiral.

Cody

One Piece filters normies so hard, people that stick with the series this long get immensely rewarded.

Gigachad

Dang these episodes are emotional as f*ck

Connor Sievers

That's a pretty good reason to worry actually considering the guy destroyed a boat full of civilians(with some Marines working the ship on board)

KaitouLuminous

honestly most of the strawhats have sad backstories

DNAevolved 115

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT HELL YAH

Amy Chang

The moment when AJ turned into Ruff.... F*CK YEAH!!!

ZeroShiki99

I didnt even know Sakazuki was even mentioned this early. Dont worry AJ you'll see him again.

sergio sanguino

I would put this as one of the best/ saddest back stories next to 💀🎶 and my boy 🧑‍⚕️🐻‍❄️🍞🚑🏨

KenKen

thank you that was so awesome to watch

Snek1337

These episodes always make me cry 😢 😭 I want my next tattoo to be a scene from this episode lol. <3

same

WoodyBrush

this made me feel so much all over again. lmao am basicly rewatching it while watching u react to it. and daaang i dont regret it deffenitly going to rebuy my patreon next month

MadSwag

his name is actually Kuzan and he is vice admiral in Ohara's time. He received the title of blue pheasant (Aokiji) with his promotion to admiral

Mr. Putsch

Aokiji is kind of a title, all admirals have one. It means "blue pheasant". Kuzan is his given name, so as this story happens before he recieved the title of admiral, they call him that. This is also something to take into account when hearing the names of others admirals, remember those aren't their given names so pay attention to how people refer to them

inpax

I'm not saying that he should watch them in their entirety, merely that he skims through them

SonicKing2004

He can watch them on his own time if he wants, Ruff's was kinda upset with those because it put some stuff out of order

KaitouLuminous

Actually rather than skipping episodes 279-282 entirely you should instead skim through them. The reason is twofold. Firstly, while the episodes are largely flashback episodes showcasing the moments that led to each member of the straw hats joining the group, the fact is that not the entire episode is dedicated to that.In particular the first 4 1/2 minutes after the title and the last 2 of episode 279 are entirely new content and needs to be watched. The same goes for the others, for before and after each flashback it shows more of what is going on during the standoff. The other reason you might want to skim these episodes is that you might want to relive these moments, to see why each of these people are so willing to put everything on the line in order to rescue Robin.The only one you might want to skip entirely is episode 283 as the flashbacks it shows took place very recently in the Water 7 arc. Other than that you should skim episodes 279-282 before resuming regular reactions with episode 284.

As far as ranking pasts go I would put this one either at number one best written or number two after [Name redacted] Yo-ho-ho-ho. NB: This ranking only includes strawhats.

It's probably some of the D's that are from that country. That seems reasonable atleast. Did you notice how many moons the planet has? That creepy govt man dude is Spandams father^^ It's Aokiji. Everyone has surnames and ...names. Also Monkey D. Luffy is Called Straw Hat so... And Ace is called Fire Fist.

Nanach

Burning the World Governments flag ITS ON!

DukeSmile

Kuzan is his real name. The "Aokiji" is the Name of his Admiral rang.

Little note: When you become an admiral, you receive a name, in the case of Kuzan, it was Aokiji...

Ji-pi Doyon

Sogeking shooting down the flag gives me chill every time

Grady

you said it, this MAN can write! to clearify about aokiji, its the same dude, Kuzan is his real name. Aokiji translates to blue pheasant. So its kind of a nickname. And ye Robins backstory hits hard. And you still got over 600 episodes left! ENJOY!

jonas eik

All 3 Admirals have a nickname, Kuzan is his name Aokiji is the nickname. Also remember Sakazuki, the guy who blew up that ship, for the future ;)

Aleksander Wertynski

Solid picks. No ❤ pirate seat man though? Maybe an honorable mention perhaps.

Grady

Kuzan is his real name. Aokiji is his government nickname since he is an admiral.

D4C

I forgot that Sakazuki was the vice-admiral who destroyed the civilian ship...A name to remember...

Ji-pi Doyon

And here is the greatest moment in One Piece...with one if not the saddest backstory...I don't know why it upset me so much, a people destroyed and and a child being hunt down because of knowldege....It's infuriating...Also god damn i love when Sogeking destroy that flag...The World Government has declare war on Robin, Luffy is declaring war on the world government...Perfection !

Ji-pi Doyon

And I cried again

Antonio Monteiro

omg is this monday one piece ? lets go ! Also you are now reaching a point where some bits and piece slowly start to fit together, from this arc on you are now entering a metaplot :D whereas porneglyphs have only been weird stones so far they will be tool to stitch the story together more and more as you see Aokiji is the nickname while Kuzan is his actual name

DukeSmile

the admirals all get a "codename"! aokiji (which means blue pheasant) is not an admiral yet at this point in the flashback, so they call him by his real name, kuzan.

Janne

Personally my top 5 one Piece backstories are... 1 Noland & Kalgara 2 you haven't meet him yet💀🎶 3 haven't meet him yet 🍢 4 Robin 5 Chopper
