One Piece Stampede Movie Review

If you believe in adventure and determination, why don’t you watch One Piece Stampede? One Piece Stampede is a 2019 Japanese animated film directed by Takashi Otsuka and produced by Toei Animation. One Piece is illustrated by well-known cartoonist Eiichiro Oda.

Among other One Piece movies, this is the one that I like. I learned a lot of values and entertainment. In this blog/article, we will discuss and give some pointers to why One Piece Stampede is worth watching.

September 2019 when this movie was released in the Philippines and there was a copyright issue that spread out although out social media. The issue about the well-known streamer, Akosi Dogie, recorded One Piece Stampede clips on Facebook live. According to Dogie, what he wanted to show is to “promote” the movie. ODEX, the company that distributed this movie, said that they will conduct an investigation about the issue. But until now, we don’t know if Dogie was acquitted.

Back to our review, One Piece Stampede started as the Strawhat Pirates come to Delta Island for the Pirate Fest organized by Buena Festa. Monkey D Luffy and the rest of his crews did not notice about the impending danger. Festa and the legendary pirate, Douglas Bullet, made a plan to take down all the pirated who participated in the fest. The aim of the fest to get the Eternal Log Pose to Raftel where the One Piece vested in. As the marines unveil the secret festival of the pirates, Fleet General Sakazuki of the World Government declared Buster Call. It can be recalled that Buster Call means a military attack used by Marines to destroy anything.

Luffy, Trafalgar Law, Crocodile, Smoker, and Boa Hancock made an alliance to take down Douglas Bullet. Luffy used all his powers to end Bullet by way of fist fight – Gear 4th Snakeman/Bounceman.

After I watched the movie, I feel the exhaustion in my mind to decide how Oda shows the essence of adventure as Luffy said to his crewmates: “Shortcut is too boring…” just like Gol D Roger did to the Eternal Log pose on the post-movie. Oda insists that there is no thrill if we already know our path. Do not expect what happens next because you are the only one who will create your own destiny. You have to set sail or move on with all your guts even you fail so many times and you tried to get what is your goal. Maybe not now but in the future, you will get it through your very own ability.

Another thing that I want to share with you with this movie is how Strawhat Pirates trust each other to do the task by their strength and ability. That is why Goodnews Morgan called Luffy as the 5th Emperor of the sea together with Blackbeard, Shanks, Big Mom and Kaido. I have no words to say about this movie. The quality and concept is beyond my expectations. I feel ecstatic and looking forward to more Oda’s illustration. Kudos!

Why Eiichiro Oda Is A Genius Man?

We all know that Eiichiro Oda is the author/creator of the well-known Anime and Manga, One Piece. One published in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump on July 22, 1997. Until on October 20, 1999, One Piece has been premiered on Fuji Television. One Piece is now still on the air for almost 900 episodes and manga release.

Going back to Oda and his creation, I, myself, believe in his intellectual capacity. Some people in One Piece forum are looking forward to One Piece. Every episode gave us excitement and moral values. Let’s talk about it is the article goes on. So I have here some honest facts and I did some personal opinion why Eiichiro Oda is a genius man.

Friendship/Nakama

Based on Oda, One Piece is an adventure series searching for the treasure around the world and seas after seas which means these include the pirates. We know that pirates, in reality, are those bandits who bring terror and rob your money or belongings. But in One Piece, Oda shows that not all pirates are bad – they can also be friends.

I remember when Nami cried to Luffy to save the Orange Town from Arlong, a Fishman/merman.

Luffy also befriended Chopper and recruited him as the doctor of the Strawhat Pirates.

Even though they have some conflicts, Luffy also befriended and recruited Franky and Usoff.

Luffy did not forget his promise to his crew/Nakama/friends after they departed on Sabaody Island.

Brotherhood

My heart was actually pinched my heart at the Marineford Arc when Ace was killed by Sakazuki. Oda spiced up the story and made a twist when Sabo was revealed and survived from an accident in the sea. Oda is a kind of writer that gave the value of brotherhood and promise to each other.

Power

We all know that all Devil Fruit users are powerful but this does not end there. Just like Gol D Roger, he is no a devil fruit user but he can fight by his own strength and his knowledge. Monkey D Dragon, Luffy’s father, uses only his strength or Haki the same as Roger’s.

Another thing about the devil fruit is that no one shall eat at least two or you will get exploded. But this is not possible to Marshall D. Teach or so-called Blackbeard. Blackbeard obtained the Yami Yami no mi or Dark-Dark Fruit. Oda gave a twist on Blackbeard’s power as he can consume another devil fruit power – which is the Tremor-Tremor fruit or Quake-Quake fruit by Whitebeard.

That was a magnificent idea that Oda has ever made and we are so excited how he will spice up the story.

Strawhat Pirate’s Death

There are some speculations that Luffy and the rest of his crew will die in the hand of the strongest emperor of the sea, Kaido. Kaido will crash them all but some people have a gut feeling that Brook a devil fruit user of Yomi Yomi no Mi or Revive-Revive fruit. Brook has the capacity to bring the life of a dead person. Therefore, Brook can bring the Strawhats to life. This is only a theory but will this be happing on Wano Arc? Stay tuned.

The Will of D

What is the Will of D? This is the hanging question of others regarding the “D” in the middle of the name like Gol D. Roger, Portgas D. Ace, and among others.

According to Quora.com:

“First pointed out in one of Oda’s SBS questions and answers portion, when one of the readers asked what the D. in the series’ main protagonist name, Monkey D. Luffy, stood for, Oda initially kept the details to a minimum, telling readers to read it as just a “D” for now before going on to say that he will eventually reveal what the letter meant.
Later on, within the series, Tony Tony Chopper’s mentor, Dr. Kuneha, was the first to mention just how much weight the initial “D” carried within the One Piece universe.
From there, various characters within the series have brought up their curiosity about the meaning of the letter “D” in the name of important figures in One Piece.
For example, Nico Robin, one of the handfuls of pirates on board the Straw Hat Pirates, has brought up the letter “D” at least three times, with the last time during a conversation with the Roger Pirates first-mate, Silvers Rayleigh.”

Still, the Will of D is not yet revealed from either manga or anime episodes. Another exciting question that urges us to follow One Piece.

Luffy’s Execution

Oda is a genius man because it is a win-win solution if and only if Luffy is executed. Luffy is characterized the same as Gol D Roger. If Luffy’s execution will come true, Shanks will devour the Maryjois or the Marineford; Marco the Phoenix may also help; Garp will be emotional and he doesn’t want to hurt Luffy; the revolutionary army will also attack theMarineford; and other friends of Luffy who sworn to him during the Dressrosa Arc.

On that note, I put my hats off to Oda because of his dedication to One Piece. More episodes to come.
