"among you there's a anti Joy Boy his name is SAD LAD"

[xcaliber]

My man slapped us with the reality while talking about one piece

[TheAmenez]

Oda also has said multiple times he doesn't like power scaling, especially when it comes to DF's, the freedom to go around the rules also applies to rules of power scaling.

I’ve struggled being in really rough place in my life. People say “stay positive” and it sounds like a trope.

Watching this video made it click for me that I can choose to be a Joyboy in my life. It’s going to be tough, but I’m going to try!

[Farisss]

i totally agreed about this, nika isnt about powerscaling agenda like twitter dumbs talks about everyday, nika is about being happy free and joy, just like joyboy, just like luffy, and now just like bonney

[hannibot]

What a great video. As a therapist and someone who has had his fair share of mental struggles, it was even more poignant. That small personal touch you added was so meaningful to me. I sincerely wish for you to believe in and find your own joy!

Luffy's true power: Making friends
Nika's true power: Inspiring people to be free

Crazy combo our boy has. No wonder WG and Gorosei are scared. He could spark a revolution.

To the people who think its not that deep, reread the entire story and analyze it from a perspective of themes and deeper meaning and you will realize, One Piece has always been "that deep".

[broasterwaffles]

I genuinely don’t understand the people obsessed with powerscaling. Especially in one piece where the bounty system makes it so arbitrary. Imagine reading the Kuma flashback and seeing Ginny dying in his arms only to think “lmao that sucks but is she admiral level tho?”

[TVRobby]

Wish you all the best with your health Artur! I struggle too sometimes, much love from Croatia, been your fan since long before the yt channel ♡

[generaledelogu]

I love that your videos in general are very deep and meaningful, even on a simple chapter review lile this, your inspirational messages and deep dives are always refreshing and interesting to hear!

I'm also happy that the One Piece youtubers I watch aren't caught up on the power scaling aspect of Bonney's Nika transformation, there are more important things being discussed here after all

[bradasskg]

lol I love how you addressed the Bonney/ nika stuff

Too many people freaking out because they can’t understand the narrative

[Miss_All_Sundays]

I've been saying this since the chapter came out! No, there are not "two Nikas"! Bonney is just inspired by him and her faith and imagination have returned thanks to Luffy, but there is only one "NIka" (or representation of Nika). The representation of Nika is not just Luffy in G5, the warrior who liberated and brought smiles to Alabasta, Skypiea, Fishman Island, Dressrosa, Wano... that was Luffy way before G5, Bonney cannot be that now. But she can be at her most free and follow in his footsteps like her father did, which is the whole point of being freed by the "warrior of liberation".

[brunocromia]

This is the most PERFECT chapter review ever. I’m balling in tears while watching you describe into words the exact reason why I love the gear 5th development and this narrative beat as well. One Piece has helped me to go through my toughest times and to see Bonney embodying this is so hopeful! Makes me realise that I have been also sharing this hopeful mindset through one piece all along throughout these 12+ years I’ve been reading it weekly ! Thank you so much for translating my thoughts into words. You surely are a beacon of joy and knowledge inside our community

[IMagicDiogo]

Thanks for your interpretation about nika! I never thought about it like that and I think it makes total sense!! This video was awesome!!!
We can all be like nika!!!

[Souper-l]

Thank you for overcoming whatever you are going through to help us understand this story on a deeper level. It says a lot about your character. Very inspiring.

[WaterDNine]

Wow. Thank you Artur. You have outdone yourself with this video. Absolutely beautiful. Motivating. I’m so happy and grateful that you made this video. Let’s all do our best to be like Nika & enjoy our lives to the fullest! 🙌 ❤️

[DCYTB]

People complaining that Bonney is a “Marry Sue” bc Luffy got 1000+ chapters of development have to realize that those 1000+ chapters only culminate to a little over 2 years in the story 😂 both Luffy and Bonney have gone through so much it’s just Luffy is the character we’ve been following. A huge part of Bonney’s story is Kuma, a character who’s been with us for about half of those 1000+ chapters so he deserves some kind of payoff as well (alla his daughter being “free” after a life of entrapment). Also I’d like to point out: we’ve literally only seen a single page of this new ability so let’s all relax

[septwenvi]

Thank you for the message of this video. I also stumble upon it by reading the lyrics of the recent opening. It's all of us.

[MaxHaupapa]

Fuck man, you got me in my feels now.
