About 22 years ago, One Piece started in Germany on the TV channel RTL2. Many users are currently discovering the manga of the pirate story for the very first time on TikTok. They recommend others to read the story surrounding Luffy and discover exciting details that even predict years into the future.
Where does the hype come from? On TikTok, there are many content creators sharing their reviews and recommendations for books under the term BookTok. Genres like fantasy and romance are particularly popular, but One Piece is also currently prominent among many Booktokers.
Videos are widespread where predominantly female readers talk about emotional moments from the story. These include:
- On TikTok, a particular arc is gaining attention: The Enies Lobby arc, where Nico Robin is freed by her friends and calls out, that she wants to live.
- The sad backstory of Tony Chopper, who is ostracized by his reindeer friends, is also getting attention on TikTok.
- The story of Laboon, the whale, who also appears in Season 2 of the Netflix adaptation, is explained in more detail on TikTok.
- Even the departure of the Flying Lamp is mourned by the readers (see TikTok).
There are a few more examples and recommendations within the community. One reader is particularly diligent and thoroughly examines every sentence. She makes several theories on where she will see that they will prove true in the future.
Reader Accurately Predicts Several Theories About One Piece
What has the reader discovered? Juliette is currently reading One Piece for the first time and provides an update after each chapter or at least each volume on how she has enjoyed the story thus far. She presents theories each time about how things might progress with the characters in the future.
In Arlong Park, for example, she notices that Sanji’s opponent mentions that the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates can endure a lot of suffering and that it is not normal for a human. Juliette believes on TikTok that he suffered even more in childhood than what was during his time in Baratie. If only she knew!
Additionally, she has believed from the very beginning that something is off with Miss Bloody Sunday. She is the right hand of Sir Crocodile but sometimes behaves strangely towards him.
In the comments of her TikTok video, many users write that Juliette should not refrain from making further theories. She is often right with her assumptions, which demonstrates how attentively she follows the story of One Piece.
It is nice to see how more and more fans are discovering the world of One Piece. It makes you a bit envious and wish you could forget the entire plot and experience everything from the beginning again. This anime is something that MeinMMO demon Cortyn would probably also like to forget: I watched 10 hours of the worst trash anime so you don’t have to
