One Piece Chapter 1190: Luffy Snaps at the Man Who Saved Him — Japan Is Furious
One Piece Chapter 1190 has Gaban save Luffy from a near-fatal hit — and Luffy responds by lashing out at him instead of thanking him. A reader-reaction channel built a compilation around the moment, and across 726 comments, one widely-liked line (323 likes) jokes that Luffy — the bearer of the joy-god Nika — has become someone readers would honestly be relieved to see die. The replies underneath spend most of their time comparing this outburst to Luffy's past behavior, and the consensus isn't kind. By the end, several commenters are debating whether this is the lowest a One Piece protagonist has ever been written, and whether Oda is doing it deliberately.

One Piece Chapter 1189: Fans Say Shanks Sounds Incoherent Now — Japan Reacts
One Piece Chapter 1189 gave Shanks a big speech about the King's power and the Holy Land — and a reaction video breaking down the dialogue turned into 283 comments arguing that the lines barely connect to each other. The most-liked reply doesn't even blame Shanks for it: "Shanks's language skills didn't collapse — Oda's did." From there commenters started mapping the actual logic gaps panel by panel, comparing the flow to a conversation where one person answers a completely different question than the one they were asked. Not everyone reads it the same way, though — some are just here for the meme.

One Piece Chapter 1189: Why Shanks Took the Gomu Gomu Fruit — Fans Theorize
One Piece Chapter 1189 added new context for why Shanks was carrying the Gomu Gomu no Mi decades before Luffy ever touched it, and Japanese fans turned it into a theory-crafting session about what it means that the fruit ended up with Luffy instead of Shanks or Ace. Posted by reaction channel 人気マンガ反応まとめ, the recap video drew 184 comments, with the top-liked reply (426 likes) reading the chapter's reveal less as an accident and more as the fruit choosing its own eater. From there the thread sprawled: a case that only Luffy's specific mindset could have unlocked the fruit's awakening, an attempt to connect it to Wano's legendary sword that got shot down fast, and more than one reply that couldn't get past how badly Shanks apparently guarded the thing in the first place. The theory that's supposed to explain years of planning, in the end, lands somewhere much smaller.

One Piece Episode 1170: Gaban's Flashback Loss to Shanks — What Japan Said
On episode 1170 of the One Piece anime, Japanese fans are picking apart Gaban's flashback loss to Shanks — out of 321 comments on the reaction video, one particularly blunt line (165 likes) sums up the frustration: no matter how much Observation Haki you've trained, Shanks just switches it off. From there the thread splits into a running joke about Gaban's "I surrender" pose turning into an emoji meme, praise for the animation staff's work on "such rough material," and a genuine debate over whether Silvers Rayleigh's Conqueror's Haki actually outranks Gaban's — a debate anchored by the single most-liked comment in the whole thread, at 289 likes. It ends on a comment that finally gives the cast some credit: for a scene full of weapon-wielding legends, every single one still manages to feel like their own person.
