 Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything One Piece, except for today because, as you can see, there is nothing really One Piece related going on here. Actually wait, you know what? We can fix that. Hold on. Alright, that's better. Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything One Piece, and today is a very momentous occasion because what I thought was the impossible, as indeed happened. So just over a month ago, this channel reached 100,000 subscribers, which is already absurd and I need to thank each and every one of you for making that possible. However, not only did that actually happen, but YouTube itself has also recognized the achievement of the Grand Fleet and they have sent out the coveted Silver Play button, which will be unboxing for you here today. Very exciting stuff. And as my biggest supporter, I have also invited my wife on to perform said unboxing. And also I do need to apologize in advance for the audio, it's not great because we were both far too excited to monitor it properly, but it should work fine for the purposes of the video I guess. But in any case, let's get straight into it. Hello, it is time to do a thing that I want to do. Do I get to do the thing now? Yes, you get to do the thing. Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything One Piece. And today we have something very special, which get those out of the way, is going to be an unboxing of the Silver Play Button. No touching. But you said I could touch. That was the point. And because I'm married, this has to be a shared experience as does the rest of life. Stop it yet. Not yet. I want to. And so the honours are going to go to Grand Line Waifu. Yay. Grand Line Waifu. Yeah. Could you please commence the unboxing? I mean, yes. You seem far more excited about this than I am. More than you. You've given me a tool I don't know how to use. A box cutter can only be used one way to cut boxes. Right? To cut the tape. Not the box. How do I cut the box? Find a little gap in the tape and then you go. But there's no gap in the tape. That's the point. And don't do me that. I'm going to do it. No, I'm going to find a way into this box because I'll fight my way into the box. Gonna fight my way. Gonna fight the box. Gonna fight the box. Oh, God, it's defeating me. Give me scissors. Normal human scissors. I can do this. I'm left handed. You used scissors in the strangest. I did it. OK, we're in. We're in. Guys, we're in. I'm excited. Don't whisper. Guys, we're in. Liam, what do you think I'm going to do if I don't use... OK. I'm not cutting the card. Cut the tape. I'm trying. Do you understand how difficult it is to use scissors when you've got a camera like in front of you that you're trying not to hit? And like you don't have... Liam, I will hurt you. Ha! Victory! Yeah, half an hour fiddling with scissors. One second with the box cutter. Yeah, where it was possible. The trivia for the box cutter. Oh. It's a box, Liam. It's a box. I love it already. Who doesn't love boxes? In fact, we don't need to see anything else, do we? Oh, oh, there's a letter. Do you want the letter? Shall I read the letter? Sure, the letter. Then read the letter. OK, I'll take this out. Here, you can have this. What is it? Oh, oh, oh. No, I'm going to read that too. OK, I'm an actor, so this will be great. Congratulations on your subscriber milestone. Wait, they're American, right? YouTube is American. Correct. Congratulations on your subscriber milestone. We are honored to take part in recognizing your achievement and want your experience to be exceptional. This award was inspected and packaged with great care by Rick. If your award was damaged during shipping or if you have any questions, please contact us at this account. All right, so if it's damaged, then it's Rick's fault. Got it. OK, we've got another one, another letter. OK, OK, do I have to read this one too? You volunteered. This one's going to be English because I'm English. So you've just done something that very few YouTube creators accomplish. Shut up. You had an astonishing 100,000 people subscribe to your channel. We know that numbers on YouTube can get really big, but we hope that you don't lose sight of the reality behind that six-digit milestone. Each and every person. Less sexual, more congratulatory. Each and every person who has subscribed to your channel has been touched. Less sexual, more congratulatory. By what you created, they were inspired, challenged, or entertained. Less sexual, sorry. You achieved this milestone with hard work, perseverance, perseverance, perseverance, and probably a healthy sense of humor too. What you've accomplished can't be taken away from you. I don't remember where I left off. What you've accomplished can't be taken away from you. And we'd like to recognize you and all your hard work with this silver creator award, a small token of our esteem and respect. We know that you don't do this for rewards. You do it because you have a drive to create and share, and because you found an audience who cares. You don't know me. OK, fine. We know that you do this for rewards. We know you don't do it because you have a drive to create and share, and because you haven't yet found an audience who cares. Cool. Believe us when we say that we can't wait to see what you do next. Neither can I. What's the next video? Anyway, a million subscribers may seem a long way off right now, and I'm going to say this last one in Australian. And we're rooting for you. Your sincerely, Susan unpronounceable surname, the CEO of YouTube. I'm really sorry I can't pronounce your name. You're going to have to put that out publicly somewhere so that I can read it. Cool. That took a long time. It did. All right. Now, what is the thing? I mean, we know what the thing is. Sure, the thing. That's the point of the video, show the thing. Ba, ba-da-da, ba-ba-ba. I should probably open this as well. I agree. I mean, you said less sexual, but ba-ba-ba-ba-da-da. Oh, I see me. You see me, actually? And the microphone. Oh. And that. Perfect. Hey. The back of this feels soft and fabric-y. Fabric-y? Fabric-y. I've decided where this is going to go. Oh, I can see me. Hey, guys. Hey, Colin. So it says presented to Grand Line Review for passing 100,000 of you amazing subscribers. You guys are great. You guys are pretty phenomenal. And my wife thinks you're cool. Yeah. That's hard to do. I don't think a lot of people are cool, but you guys are. My wife is notoriously picky about who is cool and who is not cool. That is actually very true. I very rarely think people are cool. I, in fact, don't think he's cool. So, good on you. That's true. Yeah. And there we have it. I can't stress enough just how ridiculous this moment is, because when I started this channel four years ago and then started properly producing for it three years ago, this is something that I never, ever thought would have been possible. And in fact, you know what? Until it got passed about the 95K mark, it still never felt like a viable reality. And that's because I not only underestimated myself, but also all of you. And look, this is going to sound like a bunch of sappy crap, but I legitimately believe that I have, by far, the best audience on YouTube. You're all incredibly encouraging, insightful, and generally amazing viewers who just like the Straw Hats manage to surpass all expectations. And I'd also like to give a special shout out to my patrons as well, because your support is so integral to the daily running of this channel and your generosity is out of this world. This channel would not be where it is without you. And I also need to give a special thanks to the entirety of the Grand Line Review Discord Server and its moderation team. You guys have built such a fantastic community and I'm very proud to have been part of that. Now, as for where we go from here, look, we're definitely not done growing. Just like the letter says, the next milestone would be one million and that is an awfully, awfully long road ahead. But considering that I never even thought that we'd get this far, I'm probably not the best person to judge just how possible that is. What I do know is that this channel will keep fighting with the incredible support from all of you and perhaps one day, we can even become the pirate king of YouTube. But I do also believe that it's important to have more immediate goals in mind. And the next challenge I'd like to present is to achieve 100,000 of you amazing individuals subscribed to my second channel, New World Review, which focuses on every other anime and manga that is not One Piece. We've just passed the 26,000 mark, so we're already a quarter of the way there, but I know for a fact that we can smash that 100K mark. So you know what, let's do it and continue to make our mark on this platform. But for right now, thank you all once again and I think it's about time for me to get back to making more One Piece content. And that pretty much does it for the unboxing of our Silver Play Button. If you enjoyed this video and the content this channel produces in general, then please do consider donating to the Grand Line Review Patreon because the support of all of you amazing people, as stated in the video, is what continues to make this channel possible. And if you'd like to see more videos like this, but applied to other anime and manga series, then please do check out my second channel, New World Review, for all of your wider needs. And if you'd like to join the fun at any time, and yes, it is so much good fun, then please do head over to my Discord server where a wide array of shenanigans takes place on a daily basis. And finally, please do feel free to congratulate yourselves for this amazing achievement in the comments. This has been the Grand Line Review, and I'll see you next time. I get to keep this one. Right, it's an advert. No, you don't. I get to keep this one. Stop looking at yourself through my ward. I need a mirror in my room. I'm taking this. Thanks, team. I feel like the unboxing has ended poorly for me.
