Top 10 Iconic One Piece Moments
My favorite anime of all time. I will countdown the iconic moments in One Piece. It was not easy doing this since there is a lot of moments.
Everybody knows this moment. I cried for a day the first time I saw this moment, and it still gets me emotional every time I see it. Ace's huge care for his brother, "Thank you for loving me". Luffy's reaction. Everyone's reaction?! What more can I say?
Really shifted the pace and the way the story is told after this point. The whole of One Piece grew and so did the crew with it!
Epic moment. The scene that began everything. No more words to describe this great moment.
This straw hat has lived an incredible adventure from its beginning.
One of the most satisfying punches in all of anime, from anime to manga. Animation, emotion, badassery - all on another level.
The episode where he punches Charlos, then Rayleigh shows up and drops everyone with King's Haki, and then Luffy, Kid, and Law team up should be like number 4.
My god, did he need it. Just wish it was a Gear Third fist to get more of the idiots.
I teared up. That was intense. What makes it worse is that you completely understand where both of them are coming from and sympathize with them. Yet, you have to watch it unfold, and it's heartbreaking, especially when Sanji starts crying at the end as Luffy yells, "Without you, I won't, I can't be the Pirate King!" The feels!
This was truly emotional the whole time it was going on.
How can I forget this epic moment from the badass swordsman himself? The respect of a crewmate for his captain - amazing! "Nothing happened." Just so epic.
The best moment in all of One Piece history. Zoro forever proving why we love him so much.
Zoro fans always glorify Zoro when talking about that moment, but most of them seem to forget Sanji was also there, still standing and prepared to make the exact same sacrifice. That doesn't sit well with me.
You know this moment pretty well. Burning the flag, declaring war against the World Government, Robin's past - all these elements make the moment much more emotional and epic.
The most emotional and epic scene at the same time. No one could deny the emotional burden with those words and actions combined.
This was truly an iconic moment!
One of the reasons this moment is number one for me is what this moment meant for me. Willpower and determination - this truly shows the power of Luffy at this moment. Also, it was cool to see Lucci get wrecked by Luffy.
I really liked the part right before he kicks Lucci's ass, and right after Usopp's speech, where he screams "You're Damn Right!" in Second Gear.
I know it's low, but it's not easy to choose. I should treat each moment as the best, and I don't hate this moment. How the hell would I hate Luffy's most badass moment in Dressrosa? Animation: fantastic! Epicness: amazing! Power: incredible!
The speech itself makes the moment amazing: "When does a man die? When he is hit by a bullet? No! When he suffers a disease? No! When he eats a soup made out of a poisonous mushroom? No! A man dies when he is forgotten!" I'm at a loss for words for this epicness.
That gave me chills. This is a foreshadowing of the final war of One Piece. Enough said.
Ringing that bell, sending the message to the descendants of Noland below... Wiper's tears... Your ancestor didn't lie... The city of gold was up here all along. It gave me so many feels.
Ougon Rifle! Personally, my favorite Luffy attack thanks to the emotion Luffy brings out of this fight. And Enel's face after seeing Luffy stop his lightning attack is golden.
Luffy would have died otherwise.
One of the most legendary fathers sacrifices himself to let Ace escape.
Very sad moment for real, especially because it's "technically" the only Straw Hat "death."
I can't choose, guys! Both are amazing. Nami's backstory with Bellamy was really sad, and I cried a lot in this backstory. It's important for Nami's character development. And the final blow to end Arlong's madness - Luffy does an epic Gum-Gum Battle Axe that gives me the chills. Both are great moments.
Wish this was listed as just the hat moment - game-changing. Fell in love with One Piece after watching that scene.
Watching Luffy do that is just straight-up awesome in my opinion. To be honest, that's all I have to say about it.
