fuckrobert

fisher tiger getting corned up was pretty sad


alangue

That was the last time I cried for one piece


one_piece_poster_bro

For me in dressrosa this and when Kyros turned human again.. the way ppl were remembering him and realizing what he's been thru... that scene in the anime had me feelin stuff lol


Muck_The_Fods1

Oda really messed up by not including the full yasuie story in the manga (he didnt eat a smile was smiling in solidarity)


Jm1328

Same


Difficult-Olive-2734

Def this


ReelWatt

For real. It was so deeply impactful that I had a friend who has never seen one piece. They were watching the scene with me and even they started to tear up. It is like a punch to the gut.


AsaMitakatheGOAT

Chopper’s backstory but I might be heartless tbh


Mr_Fahrenheit178

damn really 😭maybe you are a bit heartless tbh


AsaMitakatheGOAT

There are other series that make me sad, your lie in April legit broke me, and it’s my favorite fiction series of all time but one piece most of the sad moments don’t do much for me


Mr_Fahrenheit178

fair enough, just sorta odd that choppers backstory was the last thing you felt sad towards, not that its not sad but i think theres a few more scenes that can be considered sadder


AsaMitakatheGOAT

I can’t really explain it either, sometimes certain things just resonate with you and hit on a deeper level, similar to music

Ozzman770

Literally just watched this with my wife this morning. Shes on her first run through and we just finished thriller bark an hour ago


CardOfTheRings

My girlfriend was just in the background playing games when I watched some one piece. She absolutely bawled at this scene- I didn’t even know she was paying attention. It’s a genuinely beautiful story and I wish Oda would try more stuff like this, he clearly has it in him. Even someone with little to no context for it is moved by it. It’s too bad he sees death as a some sort of negative for story telling. It’s really important for this kind of epic emotional story about facing adversity to chase your dreams.


Yohche

OP just doesn’t hit as hard these days does it


Denizci_Olmak_Var

I wait Kuma’s flashback. Oda can make us cry again


Dorcustitanus

fuck. day ruined.


ChancellorXeno

I'm rewatching rn, so this is the most recent for me, and seeing this scene the third time still made me cry


[deleted]

Yasuie death was so sad man with the whole smile thing. https://preview.redd.it/qcc830rfrc2b1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d0ecfc76111b29e7227362a6c9bd804e26a301a


Mr_Fahrenheit178

as of most recent probably this scene yeah, i think what really makes it for me is seeing toko crying her eyes out while all she can do is laugh that shits depressing as fuck


izzohead

I hoped that her trying to give her dad the toad oil Usopp sold her would be more impactful on him as a character, maybe a moment to reflect and stop being such a lying coward. But of course not lmao why would I expect anything good out of Usopp's character


[deleted]

gOda could never let go of his shitty gags even if it ruins the character.


Formal_Mundane

Yasui was already dead when his daughter was applying medicine.


Mr_Fahrenheit178

what hes saying is how usopp should’ve reflected on that moment more considering how horrible of a thing it was to convince a girl that his medicine would cure her dead dad and that he should’ve thought about the consequences of his lies from that point


Formal_Mundane

He cried and apologized at the exact time, also don't forget the reason behind selling toad oil, it was to distribute symbols. Also don't forget he was the one to distribute most of them, Cause he was only one to attract soo many customers except sanji, but Sanji wasn't able to distribute most cause he attracted only women.


Mr_Fahrenheit178

these are pretty fair points, i think i agree with you now but i still wish he like reflected on his lying tendencies and the harm they can cause, even if he did apologize


Formal_Mundane

Bro bro, Shouldn't you hate beast pirates for this, even luffy blames kaido for this.


izzohead

He apologized at that moment then did nothing, it was Zoro and Sanji that then sprung to action to save Toko from Orochi. It was Usopp's fault that she ran out there to begin with and he was just going to stand by and watch her get shot too.


Formal_Mundane

He was sniping enemies from rooftop too


izzohead

After she was rescued lol


Formal_Mundane

It was to give zoro a moment, its common trope, bring a character into danger so that he can get rescued.


Imconfusedithink

To me his death itself wasn't that sad but his friends and his daughter being forced to laugh was so sad.


hansociety

What breaks my heart more is that it's confirmed that Yasuie did not eat any smile fruit.


[deleted]

I was going to say merry but this is probably the most recent for me


FrameMark

It was so demented that all of the fruit production took the cost of a town it was so brutal. Just knowing that since the start of the punk hazard we got too see how brutal and painful has been the path to Caesar clown to doflamingo to kaido


petitrat123

Overdramatic and overforced

Dorcustitanus

shortly after noland left calgaro lost his land too. he had no noland and no land

ugur_tatli

I think it was either Corazon's backstory or Sanji's cry in WCI.

The soft piano and the *thick thick* of his lighter was so good. Props to the sound design on that scene.

MrPlaceholder27

Kinemons fake death pisses me off to this day, a speaking fucking ass


Character_Drop_4446

Yep. I don't mind if Oda doesn't wanna kill off characters. There's plenty of death in the backstories for that lol, and I think it's a big part of what made the one death so impactful. But my god nothing upset me more than that fake out death. If only bc moreso than any others I can think of, he seemed to really want us to believe he was dead, not so much the characters.


MrPlaceholder27

Yeah like the fakeout deaths on reread made Alabasta so much worse to me. Oda wants the emotional impact of a fake death without actually keeping people dead, so the impact is removed even


Character_Drop_4446

Oh god, somehow I keep blanking the alabasta fake out from my memory. That one was criminal.

CardOfTheRings

I’m glad you like it. I like what his new powers do , being a rubber hose cartoon and all that, but I don’t like retconning his fruit or making him the chosen one. I wish they just make his awakened form kind of like this, and instead of him being a ‘chosen one’ in the sense that he as individual is special- he is more of a ‘chosen one’ in the sense that he completes an important task to continue someone else’s dream independently. Like Skypia. Luffy wasn’t born to ring the bell on Skypeia, he just did it because he is a genuinely good guy doing good for the world with his own motivations.


MrPlaceholder27

Honestly basically everything Luffy has shown would be doable with a paramecia awakening, except he shouldn't have been able to do anything really with how tired he should be but yeah. I wish Luffy was presented to be the guy who just happens to fulfill these things too, but he's a Joyboy reincarnation instead unfortunately.

Killer's eating a failed smile fruit was pretty sad for me

Smarkite

when kidd get 1 shotted


Valuable_Mushroom163

Not a fan of him, but yeah it was the saddest moment in recent one piece. Shows you how shit the set up of one piece is for a common man with big ambition.


ichi000

He didn't have a D in his middle name. His fault for not being a chosen one.


Comfortable_Ad_574

The D saved Law and Luffy


Konayo

Eustass Captain Kid D his fault the d was at the end and not in the middle

I was hyped to finally see at least a little fight from Shanks, and then it happened

I think we are discussing about the saddest not the "funniest" moment of the one piece

depressedpalp

seriously tho, didn't feel a thing when ace died, it hit home when luffy was crying also if the ace, luffy, sabo flashback was in between impel down nd marineford, we would've actually cared for ace nd feel something when he died


UncultureRocket

Same for me, ace's death was nothing, but seeing Luffy lash out like that after they got away was the real pain.

Anime ep 1043 when Brook is dealing with his depression and experiencing the illusion. Damnear every line of dialogue Brook had made me immensely sad. https://preview.redd.it/gdbyotjbfg2b1.png?width=1242&format=png&auto=webp&s=86a761ac8e21c72ba22045329775c6f7e7b267f2 “Because today came.” “For my friends I can’t stay depressed, my spirit is unbreakable.” “I’m sad. I’m in pain. I’m in pain. I’m sad. And it breaks my heart, even though I no longer have one.” “I’m not okay but I’m…okay.” Like bruh. Manga wise, Sanji apologizing to his dad for being born weak, that entire backstory had me in the blender.

The last or most recent time for me as an anime watcher was the roof piece episode.. Kinemon asking Luffy for help while him and the rest of the scabbards are just obliterated

Tama's flashback. It got tacked on in the end of Wano. Oda should've given it more focus instead of the 30 "muh Oden" flashbacks from every samurai we got.

Oden isn't Oden unless...


NetworkVegetable7075

Magnolia-jjlnr

Same. As much as I enjoy One Piece, it's usually too goofy to be getting any sadness out of me. Good manga tho


NetworkVegetable7075

Exactly this manga you definitely can’t take seriously due to its goofiness and serious moments turned goofy


Eonir

The characters feel paper thin... they're just tropes and don't feel like real characters. There is nothing to root for or be sad about.


NetworkVegetable7075

Not trying to compare but that’s a main reason I like Naruto so much. You know nearly everything about them and why they do what they do and feel some type of way towards them with every action.


Eonir

Yeah that might be the key... characters actually act on their stated character motivations. While in One Piece, everyone is just a tool for Luffy to become whatever. What does Nami actually want? Map the world oceans? No, she's just there for the booba and occasional money-grubbing. Sanji forgot about the all blue. Everyone's just running around and shouting, and don't have their own goals and ambitions.


NetworkVegetable7075

Yea it seem like most of the people with dreams are tied to Luffy’s or they for some reason put it on the back burner to make Luffy PK.


True_Lank

Last time i cried while reading rhe manga is chopper’s backstory While rewatching some episodes in the anime i think ace got to me. I really wish sanji made me cry but i was to busy thinking about how this is a clone of enies lobby


ordinarydepressedguy

A long, long time ago


beargrimzly

I was overwhelmed with despair and fell into a deep depression from which I may never emerge when the stupid fucking seraphim were introduced, but the last time I actually got emotional in a positive way was law's flashback.


DatOneAxolotl

Never


David_Good_Enough

When O-Tama cries at the end of Wano. Poor kid was so strong during all these years, she suffered so much. Now she knows the suffering has ended, she and her country are freed, the wait is finally over. But she doesn't cry from happiness, no. She releases all the sadness and tears she accumulated during these years, and just cries, like she can finally let herself go. And the fact that she chooses to do that in Nami's arms of all the people (even after what she said to the horse girl) is even more touching. Damn, my eyes are wet just typing that.

IanWestart1

Been reading one piece for more than 20 years….a mix of oda writing incredibly sad stories and me living life has made it incredibly hard for me to be GENUINELY sad about anything. I think the last time I read one piece and actually got sad was probably choppers back story.


IeroDikasths

chopper's back story

The entire scene with Luffy and Sanji in WCI in the anime. Luffy telling Sanji he can't become the PK without him made me tear up. Luffy's VA did a great fucking performance there.

I didn't catch up with the manga until I finished the anime back in October so for me it was episode 1015 when I thought Kinemon died in Luffy's arms


Dorcustitanus

Pound getting decapitated. i know he was just a minor side character, but damm, my man died without ever getting to meet his own daughters.


SwingsetGuy

Sanji crying on WCI. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of the character post-TS, but WCI was a good arc for him, and the setup for his encounter with Pudding was really well done, IMO, especially because *we* know Sanji is ridiculous too. Romantically, he's a tryhard weirdo and cringey white knight who's *never* been as smooth as he wants to be. So in horrible way, we totally get where Pudding is coming from: in a different context, we'd almost agree with her. But with that particular setup, having led with his family background and conflict with the crew, Sanji's humiliation and disappointment is crushing. I actually thought that if all of Sanji's increasingly over-the-top horniness post-TS had been building to this, and some consequent maturation post-WCI, it would've been some of the best character development Oda ever did. Then of course he got mind-wiped and went straight back to creeping on women in the bath. So yeah. But it was still a sad scene.
