He was technically correct (the best kind of correct). That is how you would say the name in English, which is why I was surprised they didn’t in the dub, especially considering how meh 4Kids was. While I don’t mind surname first or given name first, it initially bothered me that Newgate and Teach had typical given names as their surnames suggesting their names are backwards no matter which way you say it. But after a few hundred episodes you kind of forget about the name order entirely.

OP is obviously in large part about freedom, but even with that assumption, the ocean and planet both hinder seafarers within the story (at least within the grand line). Navigators are forced to travel by a predetermined route influenced by the polarities of nearby islands. It then takes time for the compass to reset itself, which in some cases can be literal years. There are compasses that are permanently fixed to a specific island, but these seem to be few and far between. Likely, the World Government knows how to produce those, just as they have other advanced tech to travel that isn't available to the everyday pirate. However, I think by the end of the story, it's likely these limitations will be alleviated.

The concept of freedom for instead of freedom off is such a powerful theme for Luffy and his dream. You can go ahead and share with us more takes on the series. There's so much more than just the philosophy of freedom. This was fun.

Just be good.

Oda is a freaking genius in managing the series tone, he's absolutely aware that he's writting for kids and teenagers mainly, so he keeps the political themes there, but in a very subtle way for older fans to appreciate, and younger fans can ignore them and still enjoy the show 100%.

Garp and Sengoku are good examples for the Marine side of this, as they heartedly disagree with the Celestial Dragons, but fought for and continue to serve that system. They aren’t capable to switch to the “psychic nomadism” you discussed. Wonderfully done, so much more to explore, and longtime fan of your channel. Keep up the great work.

I watched all 1017 episodes that came out till today and I can say that for me, without a doubt, one piece is the greatest STORY ever told. Maybe not the best anime ever, as it has its problem with pacing and art style (not dissing Oda-sama, the manga is stellar, but parts of the anime were visually kind of stale) but everything that makes a story, as in characters, world building, narrative and so on, it is unmatched in all of human history, because it manages to combine the huge emotional impact of long-term storytelling with a fully planned and coherent story that you will never see somewhere else over such a long time. One Piece is a masterpiece and the life work of a genius, a work of pure dedication and love for the medium, and something like it was never seen before and will likely never be seen again.

An interesting treatment... I'm reminded of a scene in one of the early-ish episodes where the crew land on a rather urbanized island, get in a fight with some Marines, and then find themselves pursued by an angry mob of the locals - prompting Luffy to casually remark that he'd forgotten that the Marines are supposed to be the 'good guys' in the eyes of the civilian population, while pirates are evil criminals. The way those citizens - who had not seen the laundry-list of abuses and corruption that WE had seen the Marines engage in - leapt to their defense kind of reminded me of that classic US bit about how, if you think the police are there to protect you, you're probably white. In other words, those citizens were stuck with the limited perspective of their unmoving location and static lives, unable to perceive the wider view that our protagonists had seen ample proof of - namely that the Marines were the enforces of a thoroughly corrupt and abusive world order...

And about nomads the Mongols…and I mean I know they have a bad rep and kill 60 million so it kind of goes against but they allow any idealistic choices (religion) unlike many agriculture societies, built and protected the biggest road of the era that allow Europe and Asia to connect and grow etc, the only people they go Hard were the traitors iirc Genghis Khan biggest kill was when one of the country he send messengers for peace kill the messengers and one of them was his family or something and he kill all the city.

I do find the conflict between freedom and control is a consistent theme in the series, as each character has their own philosophy regarding each of those two topics. If anything you could get a lot of material from One Piece as it encompasses so many genres and so many stories that spring from that conflict of freedom vs control.

You guys really need to binge the whole series, because I'd LOVE to hear your take on the conflicting themes of Destiny vs Free Will we are currently dealing with, and I'm curious how you'd reconcile the two themes within the context of the story. Manga is obviously the fast and accurate medium to consume the story. The anime does a good job at elevating the high points of the manga with animation, sound design, and voice acting... but the pacing gets VERY rough, feeling like you're trudging through sludge for a large portion of the later arcs.

While it's not as well-known as some of the other series you've covered, you should definitely do a "The Philosophy of Kino's Journey"! Each episode usually covers a specific facet of human culture and society, you could easily do an entire series on it! For example, one episode is about a utopia where people no longer need to work, thanks to automation (a topic that's becoming kinda relevant these days). While this is true, in realty the citizens of the country still work, re-doing the same work that the machines do, despite that the machines can do it faster and more accurately. Why? Because although the country was technically-capable of automating their workforce, what they couldn't solve was the underlying social problems that come with automation. Work has traditionally been how society decides who should be getting how much money, but in a fully-automated society, how should wealth be distributed? A fascinating episode and only one of many!

If a person who is talking about a topic in postmodern philosophy is calling Deleuze something like DeLaz, regardless of their language, they would probably be laughed at. Sorry. I'm just trying to make sure that people do not learn it incorrectly, considering how huge a reach Wisecrack has. Calling him DeLaz, to be honest, only shows how unprepared the host was during the making of this video. It signals me that he did not even watch a single video (to study his material) where Deleuze is pronounced, and he was merely reading a script. Sorry, I like Wisecrack a lot, but I found this video incredibly poorly prepared and sloppy -- both the philosophy material and the One Piece side.

I think perhaps the most important lesson from one piece for social struggles today is how positive Luffy is while he beats up bad guys. He is fair to everyone and yet will not hesitate to give his best for anyone in need. He will fight his enemies all out but he never takes pleasure in beating someone for the sake of beating them. It's always about helping someone or ending some injustice etc. He is the embodiment of a positive rebellion for it's own sake. Something like that :D

What I like the most is that the depth of the main characters are not based on inteligence or 150IQ. It is based on Principles. Luffy is not smart but principled and his principles are unshakable (Garp being even more principled than Luffy). Luffy makes all his decisions based on his principles and he chooses people like him who are principled (the two biggest exemples are Zorro and Nami). Although Nami is a thief Luffy recognizes immediately that she is principled and has a moral compass. If you want to understand this better, Aristotle has very good book on principles virtues and vices.

Just because they don't strive for a specific ideology, doesn't mean they are ideologically inconsistent. In fact I'd argue they have a very consistent ideology that is based on 3 independent principles: Freedom, reciprocal friendship, and self actualization. These principles are interconnected and synergize well when the characters commit to them, yet they breed conflict and character growth when they stray, like Nico Robin and Ussop during the CP9 arc, or Sanji on Whole Cake Island.

Freedom is a huge theme in One Piece, but there needs to be a matching video about One Piece and death. Oda's belief, reflected in the series, that death is not the end but that being remembered and what you leave behind are your continuation is not only huge in philosophy, but something Oda lives, extra textually. Man has worked on his story more than about any creator who has ever lived, he has truly given his life for One Piece, and is actively being harmed by it. So much room to talk about that, in and out of text.

“They dont want to exist in relation to the state they just want to exist” struck a chord with me. Because everyone should be capable or able to exist, and not depend on their relation to the state to exist. But at the same time, the state shouldnt depend on thejr relation to the ppl to exist, the state should boost/empower the people’s abilities to exist which in turn strengthens them. Taking down the state is not a necessary prerequisite to beinf able to exist

Its what makes the final saga so good. Because the World Government on the One Piece world, is strikingly similar to the Powers that Rule the World. Its a mix of Russia's Brutality, China's Population Control, Spanish Empire Slavery and American Military, Technological and Economic Hegemony. Its in a way Oda's message that if people don't change this world, the World Government of the One Piece World will become a reality in ours. And we will suffer our own Void Century. But history has always shown that heroes rise. Someone will rise to stop that. It is what Oda hopes and believes. Oda knows how harsh society is. And he knows its tied to every level. He only sleeps 4 hours, and despite earning a lot of cash, basically still slaves himself like when he was a rookie trying to prove himself. He empathizes with many that suffer similar work shifts, yet aren't successful as him. And the more famous he has become and the more popular One Piece has become as well, he has come to realize that these problems are happening all over the World. In his eyes, it almost feels like a World Government is ensuring everyone feels miserable. Its why the main villain shifted from Blackbeard to Imu and the World Government itself as the series progressed. Oda realized his work can inspire, and that it can also leave a message. All the Sagas tackle certain problems of society. But the Final Saga tackles problems of Actual Society. Which is bound to make people think.

I was fully prepared to hate on this video, but I'd say overall you did alright for a 13 minute long video of a series as long as One Piece. One thing that is important to emphasizes is that Luffy and the crew aren't really against societies, laws or hierarchies, nor do they want to convert everyone into a pirate, what they are against is corrupt individuals and the corrupt world that limits their freedom, is not about anarchy or being a nomad, there's examples where they visit islands with good leaders and the villains are the ones trying to destabilize the country, part of the radical freedom that Luffy is seeking is that people should be able to be and live under whatever system they want as long as this system doesn't go against his or his friends freedom, so you could argue he is good for selfish reasons, very pirate-y of him.
