There's also a side plot that (without spoiling) very much fits the vibe of the church bell-like moments and is reflected in the opening's visuals. I love how well they fit the mood and themes of this arc, it's perfect.

It is probably one of the best One Piece openings ever and what makes it even better is the accompanying visuals which were storyboarded by the talented Megumi Ishitani.

Man it’s sad that some people just don’t get it when it comes to music like this. The delivery and intent in every moment alone is amazing.

This opening is signifying a lot imo. The beginning of the final saga of OP. The culmination of 25 years of manga. The Straw Hats’ first arc as a Yonko crew Especially considering that this OP is performed by Hitoshi Kitadani. The same guy who did We Are, We Go, We Can, and Over The Top. All kind of signifying a new BIG step for the crew.

Somehow Hiroshi Kitadani has been able to consistently make some of the best One Piece openings for the past 25 years, this man is the goat! I think this one is rapidly becoming my favourite of the bunch, even above We Go (which you covered on the channel several months ago). It’s such a great piece. And your breakdown of the song is superb as always! I love when you make these longer videos, taking your time to pick apart all of the nuances. Speaking as someone who isn’t very well versed in music, these videos really help me get a deeper appreciation for these songs and understand why exactly the things that work for me as a listener work from a technical standpoint

You should cover more One Piece openings

This opening just DOES JUSTICE to One Piece. It goes SO hard and OP deserves it so much.

This opening has solidified its spot for my favorite anime opening ever. I was really hoping you’d cover it and enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you!!

The drummer taking "liberties" could be a nod to the previous Wano story, where we got the "Drums of Liberation" piece, which signifies a certain character obtaining true freedom.

Joy boy is truly out in our world. Everybody who looks at one piece just has a smile on their faces. Love the reaction!

@spl420

Just look at the joy of this boy!

One of the main themes of the anime, especially at this point in the story is freedom, particularly having finally found the power and resources to be free to do things the way you've always wanted to. All of the exploratory riffs really play into that for me. Just like a crew on a ship, everyone in the band is together, going to the same destination, but they're all having their own adventure along the way.

your reaction was so good to this lmao so glad you did this one

While we're at international versions of the first opening, I want to recommend the German first Intro! Having watched it as a kid on TV here I'm obviously biased but I think it's a banger. It's called Die Legende

I dont think theres anyone who really goes in depth as you do with these, it really shines a new perspective on the song and how it all comes together. Itd also be great if you checked out the ED to solo leveling

2:40 its like you said before "the more you know, the more you don't know"

Love the choir part of this song. I enjoy your break downs of everything going on. Gets me to listen to parts of the song I may not have noticed before and lets me appreciate it more. We definitely need to get more of your reactions to OP songs.

I’m really glad u reacted to this, thank you so much

Love you Tony and thanks for this great breakdown! I absolutely loved the piece before but after your explanation and listening to it together I love it even more!!!

When you said it doesn't feel like one piece, it feels like a lot of pieces, I think that's a great nod to the title "Us" which is a lot of people, a lot of pieces, coming together as one for this final saga

This opening was made for manga readers dude. This is beautiful. The song matches perfectly too.

I'm so glad to see a music director dissect animes musics, goods arguments, good ears and i can really hear passion on you"re voice ! Man, you make a big smile on my face !! Thank you and i really wish you the best :D from a guitarist who lives in France !!

love these breakdowns tony. Honestly the best reaction channel out there

i love your vids man, thank you for going this way

Thank you! you made me appreciate this opening even more now ❤️

love it when tony is so enthusiastic LIVE LOVE TONY

my personal take on the radical shifts in key and tone in sections of this song is that it it trying to "mimic" the structure of narrative of the story of One Piece, which is told by a crew (ensemble) of unique characters and their journey from different island to different island where each island feels like its own unique story.

It's so fun to watch your reactions, man! You can really dissecate the music and have fun at the same time!

This is up there for one of my favourite openings, it just sound so fun and refreshing going into a new arc

Great reaction and breakdown! The main key of the song is G-Major. One of the many things that stand out about this arrangement to me is that it feels like a sequel to OP Opening 15 "We Go" but elevated, not so much in terms of the key (even though there are changes there too), but more so the instrumentation itself, same energy, same drive and awesome dynamics, each players instrument/part has something very unique to other to structure, plus it being sung by Hiroshi Kitadani adds that icing on the top.

@parisgenestar447

G-major is Sol Mayor in spanish. Major Sun as a literal translation.

dawg this is like my 3rd time watching your reaction to this opening, i know you keep your videos short for better viewership but i love watching you really dig into pieces like this

I was waiting for you to listen to this one, it's such a rich and diverse piece. Truely a certefied banger.

I love vids like this bc i feel like a lot of people don't really take in all the parts of the music they listen to so its refreshing

Love finding new music channels that react to anime content! Great video🎉

Wow, having watched the actual opening video quite a few times, i never knew there was an instrumental section in the middle and they are killin' it.

if you're looking for new openings to cover, I'd definitely recommend "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born" by Creepy Nuts, the opening for season 2 of Mashle: Magic and Muscles. It's weird, hip hop and rap bundle with a ton of energy, and likely my opening of the season despite not watching the show. Definitely an early contender for opening of the year.

I would love for you to cover many more OP openings. There's some real gems in there! Can't wait to watch this one.

The energy in the First Take video for this song is amazing, every person is so cool

masterfull composition and a masterpiece of animation in all senses. One of the best openings ive seen in anime.

This opening is great and well worth checking out with visuals, too ! The director of the visuals of this anime opening, a woman by the name of Megumi Ishitani, is absolutely amazing. She has directed almost all of the best episodes of One Piece in recent memory, aswell as done incredible storyboards for them for the artists to really get her vision of the most important scenes.

THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!

Loving this video!!!❤

Thank you for the video!!

Thanks so much for analyzing this opening song!

The length is fine we are there for your analysis on top of the fun , if anyone just wanna watch the opening or a layman just go "wow" there are other venues

Another Kitadani reaction? And it’s the latest OP opening? Heck yeah!

This opening is epic 🏴‍☠️🍖🌊 It's like the entrance to a fantastic journey. Nice reaction! 😬

such a fun song and fun reaction. This song fits one piece perfectly, pure fun and lots of varieties

The arc that this is for focuses on a LOT of story lines and a bunch of different islands, which why it’s so, everywhere

toninho nunca decepciona, nice video!

With how it progresses this OP feels like a shift into higher gear, the next big chapter of the adventure

Great video!

My favorite parts were the beginning and ending. When it gets all grand and church-y, it just makes me feel small, like I'm gazing at something much bigger than myself. I fall for it just about every time a song throws in a part like that, but it's fine, I still really like them.

“The drummer is very exploratory, they’re taking a lot of liberties” Bro, One Piece freaks like me are screaming at that sentence

this song is actually done by the same artists as the other one piece opening you reacted to, great stuff

God this song is too good to be real, hype

What I find so incredible about this song is how every time you think it’s reached its peak it one-ups itself one more time

This is amazing!!!

To contextualise this opening, the protagonist's crew are on the "Future Island" Egghead right now. It's a very scientifically advanced (a motif you can probably identify some bits of instrumentation as supporting given that info) and whimsical. It also sets up the final saga of a 25+ year long series, and the scope of the story is incredibly grand; more so than ever. I really feel like this piece does a phenomenal job of representing the content of the story tonally.

This song is very adventurous in a way that it made a very unique take than any other songs. I am One Piece fan so I knew the opening will go crazy. I recommend you watch the opening video, they made the song more hyped with visuals.

one piece gets super emotional and this opening mix all of them, its a ride of more than 25 years, this opening show "all of us" because we care for all of us and our fights! Its amazing, just like your knowledge. Thnks!

Dude this opening is so fucking good. They throw so many fakes at you, to they put in some nods to other ost’s etc. god it’s so fucking good. Not only that, this ost is signifiying that the crew is finally reaching the end 😢 in the openining cinematic it shows all of luffy’s costumes he wore throughout the years and it shows the crew nearing laugh tale (the final island) where the one piece is. I started this anime last year and it took me 7 months to catch up to wano, but man it’s been a crazy journey.

MASTERPIECE ❤

I recently listened to the second opening for the anime Mashle and would love to hear you break it down because it's very different. Probably my second favorite opening right now after this new OP one

The parts with "all the weird noise in the background" aren't a One Piece thing I think it's really just the song trying to do absolutally everything at once (I mean this in the most loveing way possible)

The music is already good, but the visuals in the opening sequence really tied all those things perfectly, the hype is unreal!

Thanks for reacting to this one and to a lot of anime's soundtracks ! It would be a banger if u could try the Kekkai Sensen soundtrack. It's a real vibe, and I think you will appreciate it a lot.

YES Kekkai sensen has some of the best music in anime

Interesting to point out, this opening was composed by Kohei Tanaka, who is also the composer for the anime background OST. He rarely works on the openings, be he also composed the very first one, with Hiroshi Kitadani as the singer as well. It's a 25 year long collaboration between those two, and they're just as good as they were in 1999, if not better. I'd love to hear your take on We Are!

The way you describe this opening could also be applied as an analogy for the writing of the story

I love how this guy really pin points the smallest details of the instruments played for the opening 🔥 Cause of this guy I can literally hear some of the other instruments played in other openings 😭

best reaction channel fr

It’s an emotional roller coaster adventure reflecting one piece’s entirety

I fucking LOVE One Piece.

I wish I could play the drums on a band like this. I'm DYING for playing music that makes my blod boil. This is so intense and wonderful. Imagine doing a live concert in a festival with these kind of songs, OMG I'd faint!

Song is meant to sound experimental at certain points since the story at the time of this opening is centered around an area with all sorts of whacky technology invented by an oddball genius. It's also just reflecting the whimsical and chaotic nature of the show

It's a good day when Tony uploads, it's also a good day when Tony reacts to one of the best openings of 2024. Speaking of music in 2024, I personally got some amazing compositions for you to react to! :D

They aced the music and the opening video, together it's just crazy

The ending song, Dear Sunrise by Maki Otsuki, is also super good

when he say the opening sound like "evangelic" he so rigth cause the voice is singing "SAAAAVE US!!"

one piece story is about freedom and fun, also the instrument music feel like freedom from each musician itself for having fun.

you know the song is good when tony makes a 20 minute video on it when its only 3 minutes long🤣
