Tara Erickson & Jon Maturan react to and review One Piece Season 2, Episodes 1–3 — “The Beginning and the End,” “Good Whale Hunting,” and “Whisky Business.” Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s legendary manga sails into the Grand Line saga, introducing Baroque Works, new allies, and the growing legend of the Straw Hat Pirates. In “The Beginning and the End,” the crew arrives in Loguetown, the birthplace and execution site of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger. Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy — The Imperfects, Who Killed Sara?) stands on the very platform where Roger died, only to be captured by Buggy the Clown (Jeff Ward — Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Brand New Cherry Flavor) and Alvida (Ilia Isorelýs Paulino — Me Time, The Sex Lives of College Girls). As Smoker and Tashigi close in, a mysterious lightning strike destroys the execution platform and saves Luffy—while the enigmatic revolutionary Dragon watches from the shadows. Meanwhile Roronoa Zoro (Mackenyu — Rurouni Kenshin: The Final, Pacific Rim: Uprising) tests fate with a supposedly cursed sword before the Straw Hats set sail toward the Grand Line. Episode 2, “Good Whale Hunting,” sees the crew ascend Reverse Mountain and encounter Laboon, a giant whale whose tragic past ties back to the Rumbar Pirates. Inside the whale, the Straw Hats meet lighthouse keeper Crocus, who helps guide them toward the Grand Line with a Log Pose. With Nami (Emily Rudd — Fear Street Part Two, Hunters), Sanji (Taz Skylar — Boiling Point, Villain), and Usopp (Jacob Romero Gibson — All Rise, Greenleaf) navigating Baroque Works agents Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday, Luffy makes an emotional promise to Laboon by painting the Straw Hat jolly roger on the whale’s head. In “Whisky Business,” the Straw Hats arrive at Whisky Peak, where the townspeople throw a celebration that quickly turns sinister when it’s revealed they are all Baroque Works assassins. Zoro single-handedly defeats dozens of bounty hunters, while Miss Wednesday is revealed to be Princess Nefertari Vivi of Alabasta, working undercover alongside Igaram (Mr. 8) to uncover Baroque Works’ role in a looming civil war. As deadly agents Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine arrive, the story escalates with betrayal, sacrifice, and a shocking final twist when the mysterious Miss All Sunday secretly boards the Going Merry. #OnePiece #OnePieceSeson2 #Netflix #OnePieceLiveAction #Reaction #React #ReactTo #GumGumFruit #Luffy #Zoro #TonyTonyChopper #MissValentine #FirstTimeWatch #FirstTimeWatching #Binge #Bingeworthy 0:00 - Checking In! 2:36 - One Piece 2x1 Reaction 36:25 - KALSHI 38:31 - One Piece 2x2 Reaction 01:14:52 - One Piece T-Shirt 1:15:25 - One Piece 2x1 & 2x2 Review 01:28:04 - One Piece 2x3 Reaction 02:01:01 - One Piece 2x3 Review Follow Tara Erickson: https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Follow Jon Maturan: https://www.instagram.com/jonmaturan/?hl=en Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en https://twitter.com/thereelrejects https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/prapermedia Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG

Sanji isn't weak, it is his code not ever to fight or even hurt a woman.

Tashigi looking like Kuina isn’t meant to be a secret identity twist. In One Piece, it’s more of a thematic mirror. Kuina was Zoro’s rival who shared his dream of becoming the world’s greatest swordsman, but she believed being a woman would eventually hold her back. When Zoro later meets Tashigi, another female swordswoman who still pursues that path, it reminds him of Kuina and the promise he made. So the resemblance isn’t about “Kuina secretly survived.” It’s more about the story showing that the world still produces people like Kuina, which hits Zoro emotionally.

Sanji isn’t weak. he’s just got a code. He never harms women and that respect sometimes makes it look like he’s holding back.

the explanation to why it's bad for luffy to parallel roger is his story before that sentence. "no child should ever live through that chaos." in roger's death, he created more pirates. and not all pirates are here for adventure. some are like arlong, looting and enslaving people and children like nami.

Zoro's actor is an experienced sword fighter and he got to bring in his dedicated stunt team from Japan for season 2

Garp literally said last episode that the Alabaster Princess is missing guys. It was even on Crocus’s newspaper front cover.

35:35 for smoker luffy is a threat because he sees gold roger in luffy and can inspire another generations of pirates after he says that we see the scene changes to bartolomeo trying to post like luffy in his wanted poster in the mirror, luffy already inspired him witnessing luffy survived the execution

Just because you don’t know a character well doesn’t mean that a scene isn’t less emotional. It was meant to showcase the tragedy of the situation and how it affected Princess Vivi. I don’t think the writers were trying to purposefully elicit an emotional response from the audience. Cause as you said, we hardly knew them. Like duh, lmao. So it’s not really a criticism, but a writers choice. That the scene, and Vivi herself, will hold more weight in the future. It’s showing how we, along with the Straw hats, slowly begin to accept her/love her.

"Loguetown" - the beginning and the end. Prologue and Epilogue. Oda likes puns. 🙂
