Was completely with you on Ace's death till I remembered that his final words were "Thank you for loving me.". Thanks to that alone I'd put it in the I'm still not okay category. That line hit me so freaking hard, emphasizing how the only thing Ace ever really wanted was to feel loved/wanted. Making it so that even though they failed to save Ace that it was debatably all worth it because at least he was able to feel that in his final moments rather than just dying in a lonely, cold execution.

I’d put the death of the Merry in I’m still not okay. Seeing the klabautermon try so hard to fix the ship, telling Ice Berg that it wants to set sail again to help the strawhats was moving enough. But the scene where the merry apologized for not being able to continue to travel with the strawhats, and wished that it could carry them even farther broke me. The last thing the Merry said was “Thank you for caring about me”, very similar to Ace’s “Thank you for loving me” and that was very touching as well.

It just pisses me off when Oda and other people romanticize this kind of thing. Doesn't matter the age gap-it's literally the difference between their maturity! One's a minor who's been sheltered her whole life, the other is an adult with a severe case of comphet lol

This is one time where I believe the One Piece anime shines really well, because the Japanese voice actors really put their all into their performances. Ace’s death is very effective in the show, very sad, as well as Cora’s sacrifice. As for the manga, I think one of the most emotional moments for me is when Luffy tells Sanji that he can’t become King of the Pirates without him. The implication that Luffy will refuse to even progress on his journey without his friend, added by Sanji’s reaction to this statement, made this stand out to me.

Dude, I agree with the Corazón scene so hard, I still haven't recovered from that. Like, I can literally feel tears coming to my eyes just thinking of him, what Oda did there was straight up evil 😭

A friend who was watching/reading One Piece but already new about some things that where going to happen asked me "Am I really going to cry over the ship?". I replied "You see, that moment will hit you on the feels because it will happen after two very emotionally charged arcs, and then you'll realize it's NOT JUST A SHIP, IT'S THEIR NAKAMA, AND IT CAME TO SAVE THEM!!" (and then I broke down again 😭).

I think the fact that Nami refusing to betray her loyalty to Luffy and her family, even when faced with death by Ulti, and the parallels to Bellemere make it something I can't help but cry at

Every time I watch it, yes.

The most emotional moment for me was Dadan's scene. She's hurt and crying and then it pans out to show Garp and Makino crying, and Makino says Luffy is in the most pain. Honorable mention to the transition in the anime between Luffy starting his journey and him screaming over Ace's death.

Sanji having three "I was a mess" moments just goes to show how well all of that was set up and paid off. Wholecake Island is truly underrated for that stuff.

I think the Hiyori scene is the reveal of the effect the SMILE fruits had on the people of Wano. It's when the crew is shocked that O-Toko and the folk are laughing at Yasuie's death and she reveals that Orochi has robbed them the ability to grief.

@@that70sjunkie I think the picture selected is what causes this issue, cause I feel like the intention behind it wasn't to point out that specific scene but the whole story of the Smile fruits, how Orochi cursed Okobore Town with them and the irony behind the name, which is actually a completely separate chapter from Yasuies death (and If I'm not mistaken, a differente Anime episode too). So then it makes sense for one moment to be about that whole story and reveal focused on how sad it is that they were robbed from their emotions, but also having a lot of meaning due to the realization of how many chapters has it been getting set up. But then also having a different moment to be specifically about Yasuies death, including his speech, everyone running trying to stop the execution, and ending with both the cries and "laughs" for him from all the people he was close with. Kinda similar to how it separates a lot of other moments like Robins back story from the specific I want to live moment or Namis backstory from she asking for Luffy for help and so on.

For me one that broke me was the kyros scene in dressrosa. He witnessed his wife Scarlett getting gunned down by Diamante, holding her as she died. Because he was a toy, he couldn’t feel the warmth of her body nor could he cry any tears 😭

The scene that hits me hardest is the Merry Go’s funeral. How much love the crew have for the ship and how much love she has for them. It re-contextualises so many small moments before this of her supporting the crew and being a member of the crew too. Not only was her spirit manifested to fix herself, not only did she pull herself out of the ocean to save them at enies lobby but also as they say their farewells and set her ablaze we get to hear her voice thanking them for their love and the adventures.

I believe the Dandan scene wasn´t there to make you feel emotions for her. It shines a light on how Garp deals with his guilt. He could easily stop her, but lets her beat him up as some sort of self-punishment. To me that really hit hard😢

I think she's also the only character who would be willing and able to call Garp out on his views instead of just pitying him, because in all honesty this is the consequences of Garp's choice during the war. He has to live with that because he chose it and he always knew that this was the likely result. A lot of characters, and even a lot of the fandom, kind of treat Garp's grief with kids gloves and I think Dadan reminding him and the audience that the one affected the most and who suffers the most because of Garp's choice here is Luffy. There's no doubt that if Garp had either chosen to help Luffy or even just do nothing that Ace would have lived. And Dadan is the only one to address that and I think it's important for both Garp and the audience to be reminded of. And I say that as someone who really likes Garp's character, but I think part of what makes his character good is the fact that he's complicated and makes some controversial choices that aren't always what I would consider to be good choices even if they're based on his principles.

​@jamesadvincola9687 I think it's because he IS the marines in most people's eyes, even more than the admirals. He has to be, or else the psychopaths like Akainu or on a smaller scale Morgan, are what people think of. Not every pirate crew is good and kind, and we know there are also plenty of shitty marines too. It's also not like Garp doesn't regret what he's done. I think that's part of why he's trying to teach a new group of more moral marines like Koby to lead. He knows the Marines need to change to be better.

What hit me hard about sabos "death" in that flashback, was the fact that we thought luffy had lost two of his brothers.

One that devastates me still is Sanji finding out he was the only one who had food while stranded on the island with Zeph. Another is Luffy carrying Nami and Sanji up the ice cliff to get them help and wrecking his fingers. Also, where was the death of the Going Merry? Was it on this list? It should be. I never thought I would cry about a boat, but that ship made me cry.

"I want to live" cemented my fandom in One Piece. No moment hit me harder than that, until Luffy lost his crew at Sabaody, and THEN Oda broke Luffy at Marineford with Ace's death. Then Corazón...

The Dadan scene is IMO the most underrated scene of One Piece. Not because of Dadan, but I like what it tells about Garp. I think he knew he'll get his ass kicked, and that's what he seeks. Like it was a way to make the guilt quiet (or maybe he thinks that compared to Luffy, he did not have suffered enough), even though he helped (a little), in his own way. Compared to Ace's scene, I find this scene more impactful because unlike Ace, Garp didn't do anything to be in this situation. (in the first place when he chases Black Beard against the orders of White Beard, and then again when he reacts to Akainu's provocation) Garp is a victim of his family's choices.

Emotional moments not on the tier list but are still very good -Vivi screaming stop fighting over and over, i think this might have been one of if not the first scene in the show that made tears well up for me -Ussop chastising himself after getting mugged by the Franky family, not one I hear talked about but it hit me hard -Not exactly a tear jerker scene but Moriah's reaction to Luffy thinking he stands a chance against Kaido has always stuck with me -Senor pink ofc -Big Mom's flashback left me in shock and made me a lot more sympathetic towards her -Soul Pocus / Pudding ripping Sanji's memories after kissing him is the only time I have ever cried over a piece of media, I'm not much of a crier

Two things, 1. Anime watchers might have cried over Luffy vs Sanji, because the emotion were emphasized by the Memories song. It's the first ending song, and after few years OP stopped ending song -- so when they played this song, all the emotions doubled or tripled. 2. Episode 877 - Pudding kissing Sanji, and erasing his memories is one of the episode that made me cry. I still cry when I watch the episode. The background music (opera) was god-tier. It wasn't included in your list, but it's a very sad moment.

Жыл бұрын

For me it’s Luffy saying “without you, I’ll never be king of the pirates!” Because from the beginning of the story Luffy has always been confident in his dream. And losing Sanji ruins it for him to the point he has to admit it’ll never happen. Add in the context of Luffy telling big mom that it’s not Lola’s fault for not marrying Loki: “you didn’t become king of the pirates, and that’s on you”. It becomes clear that Luffy would view Sanji’s misery as a personal failure as a captain. He really loves him so much, that he would rather starve and die than see him sacrifice himself.

For me, just looking at the screen shot of Robin’s “I want to live!” moment gets my tearing up and holding in sobbing.

You actually made me tear up saying something I've seen *so* few people comment on regarding Sanji's departure from Baratie. If this was solely just leaving his father/owner Zeff, then its a solid moment but others that came immediately before and after would eclipse it easily. That bit with him and Luffy talking so casually about "silly dumb dreams" with dad looking over both of them on top of it? That is THE moment that made One Piece a lifestyle for me, especially as a person with the triple threat of social anxiety, potential neurodivergence and trust issues from a far less than stable or ideal home life situation. I'll never forget taking away the feeling of "can it be that easy (to share something cool with someone else)" flipping through the old WSJ English releases in Barnes & Noble back then and just immediately wanting to try.

34:10 I'm pretty sure that the Hiyori scene is when she reveals that people who have eaten a failed smile fruit cannot display any emotions other than laughter, hence why the people of Ebisu were "laughing" at Yasuie's death.

The scene of Yasu's death and Toko and the townspeople of Leftovers still hurts. I can physically feel their anger and sadness even past the laughter and just hearing what Orochi did to them... Wano is strong with emotions.🥺😭

i know a lot of people tend to forget the earlier moments in the series unless they're like Nami's plea for help, but Hiriluk's goodbye will always be one of my favorites. just a normal, run-of-the-mill guy who wants to help those in need, proudly facing his own death with a smile. and his final words still to this day hit me hard. everyone remembers his speech about when a person truly dies (that being when they are forgotten) but not everyone remembers what he says right afterwards: "Soon, a monster will come here. Please, don't hurt him. He's my son." this one little sentence hidden in his final speech is what made me start crying. he truly had no regrets about dying, and only wished for his son to carry on his dream of becoming the best doctor in the world also, with the Sabo flashback: i always interpreted that flashback as Luffy himself trying to find a way to grieve for Ace, but his mind kept sending him back into the despair of losing his SECOND brother. it makes sense that after losing Ace like that, he would do everything he could to think of something else (denial) but his subconscious probably sent him memories of when he lost his first brother, and THAT is what hit me in the gut real hard. i know its just a headcanon, but the flashback starts RIGHT after luffy screams into the sky in grief, and when it ends we come back to luffy still on the ground crying. so to me, it always felt like he was trying to find SOME way to understand and accept the loss of his only other sibling.

I am surprised more people don't get emotional for Baby 5. I mean her mother didn't even give her a real name and the scene where she points her gun at her head and is happy to die as long as she is helping someone else hit me harder than most I guess.

I think the thing that escalates the brook backstory emotions is watching the anime with the music just pulling every emotion to greater heights.

the Sanji goodbye scene, as a guy it really hit me, the whole "men don't cry" thing but everyone is actually crying, that trope always gets me, of course men cry, and I was crying with all of them haha

“I’m breaking my own rules but I don’t care because this one got me” A line straight out of One Piece

I did form a connect to Sabo immediately during Luffy's backstory, because that backstory in of itself just contextualized so much with how Luffy acts and how he thinks. Just the blow after blow getting a visual on the pain Luffy endures for his family, to *losing* his family, to newely dying to save his brother only to then lose his brother because of his own actions, to then get the revelation that this isnt the first time Luffy's had to deal with this. The entire scene of "Promise me you wont die, Ace." Just gets to me... and then the pure unbridled emotion with Sabo's reintroduction

I dont know why but Scarlett's death in the arms of Kyros is still something that hurts me to think about to this day She didnt even know who he was and him asking the heavens if that was their goodbye??????? I just get teary eyes writing this, its just so painfil

Damn. I always seem to be on the same page with you when it comes to One Piece content. I was thinking about how that scene was missing from the tier list. It made Kyros my favourite side character in a specific arc because it's the most legitimate gripe for a side character to ever have with the main villain.

Wonderful tier list, the only two scenes that are missing are Señor Pink's flashback and Zou's "Raizo's safe" moment, I think, maybe I'm missing something else.

The tier list would be impossibly long if we included every emotional beat, but the Arlong Park scene where the villagers rush past Nami to their death after giving her as much time as she needed wrecks me to this day. Oda sensei is an emotional sadist, and no one better stop him.

It's always interesting to me how Oda has placed many different human experiences for the audience to latch on to. Everyone is going to have their own life experiences that cause them to attach strongly to some scenes over others, and that doesn't make them better or worse, it's just different paths for everyone :)

You definitely need to re-read the part of Punk Hazard with Mocha (the girl who was subjected to Caesar's giantification experiments).

I believe the reason people react to Hiriluk differently depends if you watch the anime verse read the manga. The anime makes Hiriluk far more endearing and likable than the manga.

How could you forget Ryonosuke's name!? He carried our heroes to Zou! Unbelievable.

A very recent scene that hit me hard, Was Jewelry Bonney seeing her father's memories, seeing the person you love and hold in such a high regard, your pillar of hope and strength, getting beat and him crying for them to stop, its just too much.

Since you mentioned the dog in Futurama when talking about Chouchou from orange town it's worth noting that both of them are an homage to a real dog in Japan who always used to greet his owner at the train station when he got back from work. However one day the owner died at work and never made it home, but the dog still went to wait every day at the station for another 9 years. There's a statue of Hachiko at Shibuya station now in his memory. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachik%C5%8D

I feel the same way about the Ace death ranking if it helps. Me and me wife lost our baby 3 days after he was born (preemie, lung tear while still in N.I.C.U.). While I did completely shatter from watching my child take his last breath, in a way, watching my wife go through the same while she held him was worse. Then later they throw Senior Pink's backstory at me like, fuuuuuuu.... This scene... One Piece just knows how to break me man.
