 Unpopular opinion alert. My editor's least favorite character is this one for this reason. And all I have to say to that is Andre, you are a terrible, terrible person. Hello and welcome to the Grand Line review source for everything One Piece. My name is Liam and yes I'd say that about 95% of the shirts that I own are indeed black. And today we are here to continue our sometimes ongoing quest to discover the most unpopular takes in the One Piece fandom. For example, here's an unpopular opinion that I've recently discovered I hold which is that I do not care one bit about Yasuo because really what has he done? We are almost 25 years into this story and his biggest claim to fame is abandoning his wife and child to pursue an alluring redhead. Furthermore he did nothing during chapter one, nothing during Marineford and at this point even Rockstar has done more to earn my appreciation. And all he did was crap his pants in front of Whitebeard but you know what that's still something. Yeah your move Yasuo. Anyway that's an example of what we're looking for here today although as always these opinions will not be coming from myself. I'm not so interested in my opinions because I already know and probably agree with them. So the floor is now open to all of you wonderful members of the Grand Fleet to express your potentially concerning One Piece based opinions. An endeavor that we are going to begin with a quick round of hot take or hot cake, a very simple minigame the rules of which are as follows. Straw Hat Chef Sanji is going to offer you something and it is going to be your job to guess whether that something is a freshly crafted pan cake or a highly controversial hot take. Now should you guess incorrectly then your punishment will be to subscribe to the Grand Line Review also resulting in consistent injections of One Piece culture administered straight until YouTube V. And if you are correct then you will receive an all expenses paid by you dining experience to Baratier. So what will it be? Hot take or hot cake? Make your choice now and we shall reveal the answer in 3, 2, 1 and BAM! It is a hot take with Sanji yelling all sorts of Zoro related slander. So if you guess cake then you know a thing to do and please do say hi in the comments below if you are a new member of the Grand Fleet. Welcome. Speaking of the Zoro though he is involved in our first unpopular opinion which is I hate that Luffy doesn't know about the nothing happened moment. And I guess I should also add that it's not just Luffy most of the straw hats have no idea what Zoro did on Thriller Bark with the exception of Sanji who found out via the Risky Brothers and Robin who grew an ear and then eavesdropped on the conversation because Robin can do really weird stuff like that. But as for Luffy not knowing I think Sanji himself sums up this best by understanding that Zoro didn't take this action to make Luffy feel grateful, worried, indebted or any other thesaurus-y sort of words. Synonym was the word I was rather ironically looking for there and that's why presumably both Sanji and Robin are playing along with the whole oh yeah well I have no idea what happened either sort of game. And in the end let's remember that this moment is called nothing happened and if Luffy were to find out that perhaps something did indeed happen then it kind of defeats the spirit of nothing happening and we may as well change Zoro's dialogue to something happened. Kizaru is the strongest admiral he just doesn't care to put in the effort to show it. Honestly I don't know how to feel about this one. Whenever I think about the admiral's Kizaru does get neglected in my mind thing because of exactly what this commenter is saying. He's very aloof and we have yet to see what really you know makes him tick. Right now he's very much like the guy at work who to be fair does his job perfectly well but it's pretty obvious that they're true passions lie elsewhere which we can see in Kizaru's permanent blank stare off into the distance and just what is he looking at? Could it be justice? Is it a banana? Is it justice in a towel holding a banana? All very good guesses but sadly we will never know but whatever it is it's distracting very distracting and prevents Kizaru from really having that critical mass of sakezuki style drive and we actually have more than one Kizaru opinion this time around with our next one being observation Haki won't work on Kizaru. I mean if they can react to the speed of light they literally are on par with DBZ which is impossible and I would agree with you but here's the thing just because Kizaru may or may not be able to travel at the speed of light does not mean that he can actually react at the same speed. If someone goes to attack Kizaru he's still going to have to go through the same comparatively slow process of human thinking before deciding to use his speed for whatever purpose. Think of it this way his actions can be performed at the vaguely defined one-piece world speed of light but his nervous system is still going to function much like anyone else's. Maybe even worse because for a man who can move at light speed he has probably the slowest functioning brain of any character in the series. Whitebeard's death was sadder than Ace's and well I actually agree but then again I'm very much being on the record as not having been thoroughly devastated by the loss of Ace which I suppose is probably an unpopular opinion in and of itself but to me it was more about the shock of like an actual death happening in one piece as well as feeling for the pain that Luffy was in whereas when Whitebeard came along that was more like a shot of truly refined tragedy you know you see his flashbacks where he talks about dreams of having a family his final words are about the one piece he has this legendary legacy of dying on his feet and you can really feel the devastation within the point beard pirates ever so much more than and I'm sorry to say this but much more than when Ace died. Oda has no clue how to use Charlotte's smoothies fruit so he keeps getting rid of her in the story to delay and come up with something. Yeah I just think that Oda has no clue how to use smoothie. Her fruit is actually terrifyingly versatile and Oda is crazy creative with stuff like that it's just that the fruit ended up with the event of an unfortunate character I mean I'm still personally holding on to hope that smoothie might have something maybe anything to do in Wano but then again she's also ever so far down the list of priority characters that I have made peace with the idea that she may just disappear and remain unexplored which yes is a shame because Cracker and Carter Curry they got their moments and all of Kaido's officer dude guys have also had some decent action so smoothie might just end up being the forgotten commander. It pisses me off that I don't know why Kinamon's hair went from blonde to black. A fair question but what I'm more curious about is which one of them is Kinamon's natural hair color like was he born blonde and dyed his hair black to be more respectful and samurai like or did he dye his hair blonde to really amp up his naked street punk vibe was this like Kinamon's edgy rebellious phase or something I didn't know Kinamon was 26 that's crazy I always thought he was in his 30s for some reason so the reason why you thought that is because Kinamon is actually in his 30s so don't doubt yourself you were correct all along according to the one-piece fivio cantana book Kinamon is 36 to be precise however he was shown at the age of 26 at one point in the Odin flashback so maybe that's where the confusion stems from by the way while we're here can we just talk about unrealistic body standards at the beginning of the Odin flashback Kinamon is is like this many years old 15 there was and he is stacked for a 15 year old holy crap then again Wano people are just naturally bigger than regular human things but also to add on to that so is everyone regular humans are more like the equivalent of hobbits in this series the Funimation dub is just as good as the original Japanese as a whole some scenes are better in English some are better in Japanese but both are good because both are made with love aw what a truly adorable however very certified unpopular opinion I mean it's obviously almost entirely subjective but I personally have a lot of difficulty trying to watch the English dub it just feels quite cringe to hear Luffy and while everyone else speaking English when the Japanese voices and vocal mannerisms are so ingrained into my mind with that said what I will grant is that to native Japanese speakers I don't actually know how different the two would be with my pathetic Japanese listening to the language still feels like a foreign and magical experience whereas when I'm listening to good old English I can nitpick the language because I actually understand it things like why did you choose to put the emphasis there on that word or elongate that one and all the stuff that just goes completely over my head when listening to it in magical weebie Japanese although the ultimate argument is that the animation is intended for the Japanese language you know the lip flaps and stuff are made with the idea that Japanese will be spoken and at all times you very much have to awkwardly cram English into there but still I'd be curious to know how many of you like the English dub so do make yourselves known if Pedro didn't have such a short amount of time to live he would have joined the straw hats ah why did you have to remind me about Pedro I was having such a good day before this in any case I don't know about this this question will probably become much clearer once we have a confirmed answer to the whole carrot joining the crew idea because if carrot doesn't join then I don't see any scenario where a surviving Pedro would have however if carrot were to join then that would be directly picking up Pedro as well meaning that Pedro in another universe where he did live well he may have stood a decent chance either way here's a more fun question who would you rather have joined the straw hats carrot or Pedro this might be very unpopular considering the global character poll results but I'm actually going to say Pedro I really loved his paranoid violence first minky quirks and I think he would have fit in quite well Elbaf has been talked up for so long that at this point there's no way it can live up to expectations when the crew finally gets there yeah honestly I'm starting to get that feeling as well because here's the thing about Elbaf this eventual arc can go in one of two directions either Elbaf becomes a shortstop to bridge something bigger sort of like how zoe acted whole cake island thus disappointing people because it was a short stop and not this like big epic adventure or alternatively it could become its own substantial big epic adventure and in which case it would risk potentially ending up like fishman island and I bring up that direct comparison because fishman island is probably one of the biggest victims of one piece hype if not the biggest so far the island was mentioned in east blue and the straw hats were always actively gunning for it in some way that they don't usually do for other islands so once we finally got there yes it was beautiful and amazing but it was never going to live up to the hype and expectations that we had built up over like a decade for it and that's before we consider factors like hody and well with more hody so Elbaf could end up in a similar situation and I actually hope it ends up being a shorter experience smoker being left in the dirt in terms of power was a really bad decision by oda and has ruined any chance of a satisfying climax to his and luffy's rival and the question I have in response to this is were they ever really rivals to begin with and the answer to that is maybe smoker did set out to pursue luffy in the same sort of way that garp was said to chase roger but at the same time smoker has never really shown the sort of dedication we're looking for on that front I mean during alabaster he just he just disappeared for the whole climax and whilst he did indeed talk big about meeting luffy in the new world well we all know how that turned out don't we it's an interesting question though because there are times when smoker feels a bit half baked and not like baked in a smoking related sense which would be a clever pun but more like a bread baking metaphor however if you wanted to be super wanky about this and I think we do then you could also argue that that's the entire point of his character he isn't the garp driven pirate capture machine he's a human caught in the machine questioning said machine's function so he initially sets out to complete his technical purpose but always ends up thinking and acting autonomously which is why I don't think I've ever seen smoker as a rival to luffy he seems far more like some sort of reluctant ally odor doesn't want the story to end because he has spent over 20 years already and it makes him rich I think there probably comes a point where money stops being a driving factor for creative endeavors in people like odor and I'd say that point is probably well below where odor actually is given that he is undisputedly the most wealthy man garker in human history with an estimated net worth of 200 million US dollars so maybe I'm just incredibly naive because I'm not wealthy but surely surely at that point money is not the driving factor to continue to work yourself to death Zoro can actually hear the voice of all things more than anyone and they tell him which direction to go so I think you dear commenter may have confused unpopular opinions with crazy theories but yeah sure why not it's a fun idea and I guess it also touches on the concept that Zoro's internal compass will be the key to ultimately discovering Laugh Tale another crazy theory but at the same time it seems like the sort of stupid thing that odor would do you know we get the precise location from the road pornoglyphs but even that is not enough and then all of a sudden Zoro accidentally discovers the one piece yeah it works Shiki could solo anyone alive right now nope and if you'd like to examine some more unpopular opinions and do check out this playlist of wonderfully controversial takes from our very own grand fleet lots of fun to be had so I look forward to seeing you there
