Monkey D. Luffy Explained (One Piece 101)

PATREON:

[mrglibb]

"A swordsman, a navigator, a longnose and a chef"
Yeah, we all know Usopp's real role in the crew isn't sniper, he's there to goof around with Luffy

[AnonymousSpirit]

Yes, Luffy is simple-minded, but not stupid.
He is intelligent in many ways, in which other characters are not.

For example, he is able to read others’ motives, understand someone’s character, determine what the greatest threat to his crew is and find a way to divert that threat from others and take it onto himself.

He is also able to get the big picture of the situation and boil it down to its essence - that takes a certain kind of intelligence - the kind needed to be a successful leader.

He is able to see someone’s strengths and weaknesses.

He hates cowards and crybabies.

Zoro's quote should be the most epic one: "I got on... the wrong ship"

[AriCasino]

Black Beard: loves cherry pies
Luffy: hates cherry pies

The reason why they’re the greatest enemies in the series

[droidflamingo]

And he is not a hero because he doesn't share his meat

[AM-fszh]

I’m impressed how well you compressed his whole story down into 11 minutes. That’s not an easy task but bravo

[transcatgirl]

I hope one day Luffy actually acknowledges the fact that he has the recorces of
1. The Staw hat Grand fleet
2. The entirety of Zoe
3. Any Samurai still loyal to oden
4. Possibly Germa 66
5. Pretty sure Shanks would come help too if Luffy really needed it.

(wiping tears from face) He has grown so much from the beginning!

[kokirimido]

There's a good chance that Inaki Godoy watched this video.

[holtonciopy]

That was a hell of a summary.
Well done, you said yourself, it's not easy to summarize a protagonist, especially one that has been existing for 20 years.

Awesome video and greeting from Paraguay!

I love Luffy for what he is from a story writing perspective. It's clear that at first Luffy's devil fruit seems absolutely overpowered, and Luffy beating Alvida was the reason I and most of my friends thought this. But what's actually going on, is that Oda made Luffy a character that shows how training can make even the most underpowered fruits absolutely broken. Him being the main character also helps us constantly remember this

[nobet]

Hearing Luffy being called the unofficial 5th emperor of the new world just feels so dope

[HighDoughIsBad]

The best part was luffy’s punch against the celestial dragon. My mans sent him back to the manga

[ronnie-sillyme]

Luffy is by far my favorite character in the OP world. What I have always loved about him is how creative he gets with his abilities. Unlike Goku: no signature moves, no real progress. Goku is a one trick pony. Scream until your opponent gets intimidated.

[jacklomas]

What I love more about luffy as a character is his resolve. Its just ridiculous in a really good way. Like the times he's basically been moments from death and said help whoever like he did with bon clay in the impel down arc. Like I say it's his resolve. Just in terms of getting stronger as well not just for himself but to protect everything he cares for. You could basically say he's pirate goku in a way but definitely a hell of a character.

[kylechristianpernia]

You did not state that he can also hear the voice of all things.

[novaview]

Who is this guy? I have never seen him in the series.

[kasv]

Cherry pie? You TEACH me something with that.

[royfablooo]

This video is more like One Piece in 10 Minutes

[naiarerich]

There are still so many unmentioned reasons to love Luffy. He's just, the best.
