"...It's surprisingly a lot less filler than I thought." Aizawa stared at the little sticky note stuck on the DVD case cover as he recognized Principal Nezu's writing. "I expected a lot more from an anime with over a thousand episodes."
"Doesn't change the fact it's probably stretched out." Hizashi theorized.
Aizawa simply hummed, noticing the sticky note for the DVD of the Marineford Arc was a little smudged for some reason but still readable.
Entering Heights Alliance, they could see most of Class 1-A and Toshinori were already there.
"Goddamn it, we're fucking waiting for you." Katsuki growled, staring at his phone.
"Deku, you've been kind of quiet all day." Ochako said to Izuku, who was slumped over as he stared at the TV intensely, riddled with guilt.
"...Spoiled." He whispered.
"Huh?"
"I think I spoiled myself on a future episode." Izuku nervously sweated.
"Wait, did you watch ahead!?"
"How could you!?" Toru dramatically shouted as all eyes are on him now.
"I've read the first chapter of the manga." Izuku quickly said, holding his hands up in defense. "I heard the creator has these Q&A sections in the manga, so I downloaded One Piece on a manga app, and the first chapter wasn't the first episode."
"And you didn't stop when you saw they didn't match!?" Katsuki angrily exclaimed.
"I can't help it! I just saw Luffy-"
"No! No! No! Don't you dare continue." Toru demanded. "How could you?"
Izuku covered his face. "It was one chapter. The first chapter, in fact."
Aizawa took note that maybe leaving the DVDs here is okay if this is how they react to people being ahead of them, at least in term of watching anime.
"We got snacks!" Everyone nearly jumped when Kirishima and Mina came through the front door with a cooler and bags full of snacks.
"Thank you for providing food for us!" Iida bowed, hoping to distract away from Izuku's little mistake. "Though your selections are rather unhealthy."
"Anime watching isn't the same without something to munch on." Mina smiled.
"...What's going on here?" Kirishima asked, noticing the tenseness in the air.
"He brayed us." Denki dramatically said, looking at Izuku.
"I-I'm sorry!" Izuku panicked.
"It was one chapter." Jiro sighed.
"It's the principle of the matter." Toru said.
"Since everyone's here, let's just watch it." Aizawa sighed.
After skipping the opening, episode 4 started with the image of a certain jolly roger shown from the last episode; the jolly roger of Captain Buggy. It expanded, revealing it was on a ship of three unnamed pirates, looking at their treasure.
"Why are we here?" Ochako asked, nibbling on her chocolate bar, but she didn't get her answer as those pirates noticed another boat heading their way.
On that boat was the unnamed redhead from the past episodes, who looked either asleep or unconscious.
"It's her!" Mineta gleefully exclaimed until those three pirates came into view with a certain look on their faces, who were absolutely glad to see it was a woman.
There were two reactions among the class were either glares or just plain creeped out looks.
"Creeps." Jiro said, glaring at them.
The unnamed girl raised her head, glad to see them as she hoped for some water. The men grinned, thinking they've hit the jackpot.
A sleazy smile spread across Mineta's face. "I swear I've seen a prompt like this before."
Tsuyu tongue-slapped him on the back of his head.
"What was that for!?" Grape boy shouted.
"Don't continue that. Ribbit." Tsuyu said.
The girl will give them money if they help her, gesturing towards the treasure chest in her boat. The pirates happily walk over to the chest. It was stuck at first, but after some tinkering, it opened up, revealing a panda head springing up like a jack-in-the-box.
The girl laughed cockily behind them, revealing she took their boat as she floated away.
A few students jumped in surprise at the jack-in-the-box reveal, while Katsuki smirked, "Knew it."
Looking ahead, the girl began to talk about the weather, adding that small boats aren't suited for this weather.
Almost as if by magic, dark clouds appeared over the pirates. Rain and hail fell, causing their ship to capsize.
She happily gave them a thumbs up, thanking them for the treasure.
"Wait, can she just conjure up weather?" Denki stroked his chin, looking impressed at such a quirk.
"I think it's more 'predicting weather' than 'conjuring.'" Izuku theorized, writing in his One Piece notebook. "Even then it's quite convenient that the rain came along."
After the pirates possibly drowned, the title popped up on screen, "Luffy's Past! Introducing Red-Haired Shanks!"
Izuku's eyes widen. "Wait, I think this is based on the first chapter of the manga."
"Then don't you dare fucking blab about it!" Katsuki shouted with Toru nodding(?) in agreement.
"Red-Haired Shanks..." Kirishima repeated as a brief image of Crimson Riot appeared in his head.
Out at sea, Luffy slumped over the boat's edge, hungry, while Zoro asked when are they going to reach land. Luffy doesn't know, but is certain they'll reach land soon.
"They're lost at sea already?" Iida sighed.
"How are they going to survive? I mean, they don't seem to have food anywhere." Momo said, a little worried.
"As I expected, they're a wreak already, though I thought Zoro would be a little more competent." Jiro slowly shook her head.
Zoro told him that it's a little strange the future Pirate King doesn't know anything about navigation. Luffy said he just drift out at sea, and asked Zoro himself the same question since he's a bounty hunter.
Then Zoro claimed he never called himself a bounty hunter.
"But... But that's what you were first introduced as! As a pirate hunter!" Katsuki shouted furiously.
Zoro looked up at the sky and told him he went out to sea to search for a certain man, couldn't find his village, and was forced to make a living by chasing after pirates.
"Goddamn it." Katsuki sighed, wanting to facepalm.
Luffy pointed out he just got lost. Of course, Zoro didn't like that, slamming his foot down, which caused him to suddenly rock the boat.
The action sent the straw hat into the air, Luffy gasped and shouted a name, "Skanks!"
"Shanks... He must be the guy who gave him that hat." Ojiro guessed.
"He must be cool if Luffy cares about it." Kirishima said, smiling brightly.
The scene kept changing between the man with red hair, tossing the straw hat up and down, and Luffy and Zoro trying to catch the hat.
"This straw hat is dear to me—It's been with me through many a fight."
The hat continued on floating up the sail.
"Luffy, I can't give you this even to you."
The hat floated over the sail as Zoro and Luffy rushed to grab it. When it looked like Zoro was reaching his arm out and grabbed, instead the hand placed it on its owner's head.
The man is Shanks. A man with red hair, wide eyes, three scars over the left eye, a small goatee, and a wide smile.
"Hm... He kind of looks like Luffy. Is he Luffy's father?" Todoroki said, mentally wondering about the man's scars.
"I'm pretty sure Luffy would have called him 'dad' or something." Izuku sweatdropped.
"Secret love child then."
Izuku simply sighed at such the theory, but put that in the 'theories' section of his One Piece notebook, just in case.
Around him was a bar full of partying pirates. One of them was even drinking from an barrel.
Right in front of the bar was the red-haired man and a little boy, who was definitely a younger Luffy by just looks alone.
The young Luffy demanded that Shanks take him on his next adventure because he wants to be a pirate too.
"Oh my god, Luffy's adorable as a kid!" Mina cooed.
Shanks just laughed at his face, saying Luffy would never make it as a pirate.
Young Luffy demanded why he can't, and a skinny man in blue told him that he needs more than being a good swimmer to be a pirate.
"Well, I'm glad these pirates have enough morales to not encourage a child to become a pirate." Iida said, nodding.
Luffy tried to convince them, saying his punch is like a pistol.
Shanks didn't seem to care, returning to his food, and Luffy got mad at him.
The pirates continued on teasing Luffy. One of them mentioned he's about the same age as his own kid. Of course, little Luffy said he was a man, not a kid.
"Aw, they're only teasing you." Hizashi waved his hand dismissively. "You'll become a pirate in the future despite what they say."
"Don't worry. You'll become a real manly man in the future." Kirishima tried to comfort him.
Shanks told him he shouldn't get so worked up and gave him a glass of orange juice. Luffy happily drinks it, but Shanks laughed at him, calling him a kid, which soon spread to the others, besides Luffy.
"Well, what do you expect?" Iida said. "Children shouldn't be drinking alcohol."
"It's more of the fact that he accepted it." Toshinori tried to explain. "Besides, it's a little bit of harmless fun."
A shadow loomed over the front door. When it was kicked down, the laughter stopped as heads turned to the broken door.
Before he even came in, the shadowed man have already called the pirates 'bums.' He stepped right on the broken down door, and walked towards Shanks, who was simply eating his meal.
The green-haired bartender approached the group to welcome them.
The unknown man was finally shown, with black hair, a goatee, and a X-shaped scar above his right eye.
"Higuma the Bear." Izuku whispered, remembering the man's name from the manga.
"Deku, no one cares about an extra's name!" Katsuki shouted at him.
Aizawa let out annoyed groan. "You can't believe how many people I've seen entered like that before."
"Wait, you've been to western style saloons before?" Denki blinked owlishly.
"No."
"Are you serious? I don't even think saloons still exist." Katsuki said to the blond.
Higuma said he and his friends are bandits, and they want ten barrels of beer. The group of bandits behind him all had an air of suspicion about them, grinning.
"I have a feeling they don't just want to buy beer." Hizashi said, familiar with bar fights.
The bartender said they're out of beer, but Higuma asked what these pirates drinking then. She admitted that they bought her supply of beer.
Shanks apologized, offering the last bottle of alcohol.
"He's surprisingly reasonable for a pirate." Iida said, surprised.
For a moment, the bandit looked like he's holding out his hand for the bottle, but instead, his hand formed a fist and swung his arm, causing alcohol and glass shards to hit Shanks.
The bartender covered her mouth with her hand as everyone else stared.
Soft gasps went unheard as Katsuki shouted, "You're not going to take that! Right, Shanks?" He expected something from the man Luffy apparently admires.
Higuma bragged how he's a wanted man worth eight million Beri, and that one bottle is just plain insulting to him.
"Asshole." Mina narrowed her eyes.
"Beri? Ribbit." Tsuyu said, confused.
"I'm assuming it's this world's version of money, maybe it's the same equivalent of yen considering the author is Japanese." Momo tried to explain.
The ominous music and Shanks's shadowed eyes gave them the impression that the red-haired pirate is going to fight back, but instead, the man seemed more... disappointed, not really taking the bandit seriously. He even started to pick up the glass pieces, asking the bartender, Makino, for a rag, though Makino wants to take care of it.
"Huh, he's actually not going to fight." Iida said, clearly impressed by his behavior.
Before Makino could run up to Shanks, Higuma drew out his sword, and with a single slice, he swiped all the bottles and dishes off the counter.
"Okay, now fight him!" Katsuki shouted, furious at the sight of Shanks leaning against the stool.
Putting his sword back into its sheath, the bandit left with his gang, calling the pirates 'cowards' just for one last measure.
"Come on!" Katsuki demanded, sparks popping from his palms.
As Aizawa glared at the ashy blond, Shoji said, "Luffy shares your feelings."
Indeed, Luffy clutched onto his drink tightly, watching the swinging front door with a furious look.
Makino tried to clean Shanks off with a rag, asking if he was okay. Shanks simply waved it off, and at the sound of his snort, the entire bar laughed, even Shanks himself. Well, except for one.
"Why are you laughing?!" Young Luffy and Katsuki shouted in unison as the ashy blond punctuated this with an explosion.
Everyone stopped, staring at the boy.
"Why didn't you fight!? Why are your men laughing at you!?" Katsuki shouted at the TV. "You're suppose to be a fucking captain! Show them why you should be respected."
"He wanted a reaction."
"What?" Katsuki turned towards his homeroom teacher.
"The bandit wanted a reaction out of him." Aizawa explained. "To put it very simply, he was trying to bully him, and bullies always want a reaction out of their victims."
"The fact that Shanks didn't fight him makes him the better person." Hizashi added.
Would Kacchan have stopped if I didn't react to his 'antics?' Izuku frowned, thinking of the past.
From the top of his stool, Luffy was absolutely disappointed in them for not fighting, even as far as to tell them they're not men or pirates.
"That's harsh, dude." Kirishima slightly flinched.
Shanks tried to comfort Luffy, but the boy turned away with an angry huff, then he noticed a purple fruit decorated in swirls.
"Huh, this is different from the manga." Izuku murmured to himself.
"What kind of fruit is that?" Ochako asked.
"It kind of look like a purple yubari king." Momo said.
There was silence as she could feel eyes on her.
"It's a special cantaloupe." Momo elaborated. "They're usually auctioned for millions of yen."
"M-Millions for a fruit!?" Ochako shouted in disbelief.
"...Wait, didn't Luffy get his quirk from a Devil Fruit." Jiro pointed out.
Everyone blinked in realization as Kirishima shouted, "Awesome! We're going to see the beginnings of Luffy's power!"
There were crunching sounds as Shanks looked up at him, but soon developed a shock look, noticing he's eating something.
Luffy swallowed before turning to the pirate, who furiously asked him if he ate what was inside the treasure chest.
When Luffy said yes, Shanks grabbed him by the legs and tried to make him cough it out, shaking him up and down.
"Too late. He has it in the future. Ribbit." Tsuyu said with a finger to her amused smile.
Luffy's leg stretched like rubber, causing his face to hit the floor. There was a moment of silence before his head went back up as he was dumbfounded on what just happened.
Shanks shouted in Luffy's face, telling him he've eaten the Gomu Gomu no Mi, meaning he's a rubber man who can't swim.
"So there is a downside to the Devil Fruits." Iida noted.
"I feel like that could be solved if Devil Fruit users live in a low moisture area." Todoroki said.
"The problem is that Luffy wants to be King of the Pirates." Denki said. "I'm pretty sure that involves traveling the seas."
"You know, Shanks isn't really that smarter than Luffy since he's the one who brought it out." Toshinori pointed out. "I mean, he knows that Devil Fruits are powerful, and if it was locked, I would be more understanding, but it wasn't."
"Good point." Hizashi said. "No brains and a captain? Doesn't really seem to be a good combination for this crew."
"You do realized that Luffy himself is going to be a captain, right?" Aizawa deadpanned.
The town was shown to be empty, along with the bar, but it was in shambles. A woman was seen running while young Luffy's back collided with a barrel.
Higuma's reflection appeared in the water as he pretty much explained the situation: the bandits were drinking beer, but Luffy butt in.
Struggling against him, Luffy demanded that the man apologizes to Shanks and his crew.
"Just leave it alone, Luffy." Toru worried.
"This is not the right time to be demanding things." Momo nervously clenched the soda can in her hand.
Interspersed with Luffy's struggle against Higuma, Makino ran for the Mayor, a simple, old man.
As the Mayor and Makino reached the bandits, Higuma's eyes were shadowed because of Luffy's 'poor choice of words.' The man grabbed his sword's handle.
The Mayor begged for him to let Luffy go, dropping down to his knees to bow as Luffy stared at him with wide eyes.
W-Where are the authorities? Toshinori can't help but to think, despite knowing that the Marines of this show aren't the best... to put it lightly.
Higuma just smiled, saying that the Mayor's too late. The little boy has pissed him off. It doesn't help that Luffy insulted him when he drew his sword. The bandit stared down at him, pointing his sword closer to him.
"Hey, he can't kill Luffy! He lives in the future." Denki pleaded.
A few students looked away while the rest have their eyes glued to the screen.
Right behind Makino and the Mayor were Shanks and his crew, as if they appeared out of nowhere.
"It's Shanks! He can save Luffy." Toru bounced in her seat.
After the eyecatches, the pirates and the bandits are at a standoff. Higuma tried to mock Shanks like before, but the pirate seemed to ignored him, turning his attention towards Luffy.
Shanks walked forward until a gun was pointed to his head by a random lackey, who've threatened him to not come any closer.
"He better have a plan." Aizawa said.
"But isn't it manly that he didn't even flinched." Kirishima admired the red-haired man.
Shanks simply smiled under his straw hat. "You're risking your life."
"What?"
"When you wield that pistol, you risk your life."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Shanks stared at the man dead in the eyes, pointing a finger towards his gun. "I'm saying this thing isn't a toy."
A gunshot went off, and it wasn't from the bandit himself. Instead, it was from the fat pirate, eating meat right off the bone as if he didn't just killed a man a few seconds ago.
The bandit's body hit the ground as everyone look on in horror, except for the crew.
The teachers looked at their students, who seemed to have turned a shade paler. Sure, the death wasn't gory with blood and grey matter flying around, but at the same time, it was still shocking to see someone killed in cold blood, even if the bandit was going to kill Shanks.
The bandits cursed them out, but the pirates pointed out they were dealing with pirates, not saints.
"He... isn't wrong." Momo stated, still reeling from the death that just happened.
"Yeah, we shouldn't forget that pirates aren't heroes." Ochako nervously gulped.
One of the pirates shouted that they don't have business with them.
"Whether I'm splattered with alcohol or food or even spit on, most of the time I'd just laugh and forget about it. But no matter what the reason, anyone who hurts my friends has to pay!"
"Shanks... That's so manly!" Kirishima's eyes seemed to sparkle in delight.
"He would do all of that." Ochako agreed.
Higuma simply laughed, then commanded his bandits to kill them.
The gang of bandits charged after them. The tall pirate stopped forward, grabbing the barrel of his musket and swung it like a club. He knocked them out, even breaking some swords in the process; one of them nearly stabbing the leader's foot.
"That's not how you would use a gun, but it's effective." Tokoyami commented.
Higuma tried to blame everything on Luffy, but Shanks pointed out he's the one with the bounty on his head.
"You're really going to blame a kid for reacting like that?" Aizawa murmured.
"Wait, how would pirates even get bounties from the government? I mean, pirates are also hunted down." Aoyama said, tilting his head.
"There could be a middle man just for this." Izuku theorized.
Higuma threw a smoke bomb down, exploding into a dark cloud, and once the smoke clears, he and Luffy were gone.
"Oh no, he kidnapped Luffy!" Sero shouted.
"Where did they even go?" Sato wondered.
"Relax, I'm sure they've got this handled." Toshinori reassured.
Instead of that, the red-haired pirate panicked while his crew berated him.
Slowly, everyone turned towards Toshinori, who was blushing in embarrassment.
"Look, it was a good guess." He said, holding his hands up in defense.
On a boat out at sea, Higuma held Luffy over the water as the man laughed. Luffy could only struggle, insulting him. Since Luffy pisses him off, Higuma flung the kid into the ocean.
Luffy's thoughts voiced his regrets as tears sprung from his eyes. Once he hit the water, Luffy struggled to stay buoyant.
"No! He can't swim!" Mina cried out in worry.
Katsuki seemed to wave it off. "You do know that he survives, right?"
"But how did he survived this?" Todoroki said, earning a glare from the explosive boy.
"Karma, do something!" Toru shouted out to the cosmos.
"Karma is supposed to work in mysterious ways-" Tokoyami was interrupted by a giant pillar of water rising behind Higuma.
The pillar of water was actually a sea monster resembling a giant, brown eel with red eyes and blue fins. Higuma screamed in terror as the beast eaten him and the boat.
"Holy shit! There are sea monsters in this show?!" Kirishima shouted in shock while Tokoyami slumped in his seat as if he was disappointed.
"Wow, karma did work!" Toru cheered... until the monster sent its sights on Luffy, who was still drowning.
"What? Did you expect the sea monster to give Luffy a ride to shore?" Katsuki berated the invisible girl, which she simply huffed, "No."
The eel-like beast swam as fast as it could to the young boy. It opened its jaws as an attempt to devour the boy like it did to the bandit, but there was a flash of white.
The red-haired captain was shown in the water as the monster fly across the screen.
Shanks held onto Luffy, protecting him. Tears were in Luffy's eyes as he looked up at the man.
"Shanks!" Several students cheered for joy.
"Now swim away!" Ochako shouted.
"I highly doubt that he's fast enough." Todoroki said, though he did worry for their safety.
When the sea monster resurfaced, its eyes widen in fear. Staring down the monster was Shanks himself, and he doesn't look happy, telling it to get lost.
The beast let out a mixture of a whine and a growl, staring at the red-haired man until it swam away.
"Holy shit, he stared down that monster!" Toru stated the obvious, in absolute awe of the man along with so many of the other students.
Shanks tried to tell him Luffy that he owe him one for standing up for them, but Luffy cried, clinging onto the man's shirt.
Shanks told him he's a man, he shouldn't cry.
"But, Shanks... Your arm!"
The scene panned out, revealing that instead of Shanks's arm, there was a bloody stump in its place.
And yet Shanks didn't look horrified or angry at such a thing. No, he was just glad that Luffy is safe.
Soft gasps, wide eyes, and gapping mouths came over the audience of heroes and future heroes. Momo created a few boxes of tissues for everyone.
"He... He gave up his arm." Katsuki said, surprisingly quiet at the feat.
To give up your arm and to wave it off like it was nothing is not only a feat of strength, but also shows how much Shanks cares for Luffy.
Luffy could only cry, getting louder and louder until the scene transitioned to the piers where there are pirate ships and pirates preparing to leave, as citizens watch.
Shanks and his crew are leaving, and Luffy will miss them, but he doesn't want them to him along like before. Instead, Luffy plans on to be a pirate himself.
Shanks sticks his tongue out at him, teasing him that a kid like him could never be a pirate. Of course, Luffy got angry, and told him that he will, even becoming the Pirate King.
"Yeah, you tell him, Luffy!" Mina sniffed, wiping a tear away for a moment.
"That's the spirit, young Luffy." Toshinori smiled.
Since Luffy wants to beat them, Shanks took off his straw hat and put it on top of Luffy's. "I'll let you look after this hat. It's very important to me. Take good care of it."
Luffy gritted his teeth, letting tears run down his face.
As he and his crew leave with their ship, Shanks hoped they'll meet one day with Luffy being a great pirate.
"Please, no more crying!" Hizashi shouted, loud even when he wasn't using his quirk.
Aizawa rolled his eyes, though he felt a little misty eyed.
"Such a bond between men." Ochako sniffed, which Kirishima nodded in agreement.
The passing of the torch. Izuku can't help but to think, finding a sense of comfort and amazement in this.
Right back to the present day, Luffy clutched onto that very same hat as he did in his younger years. Zoro called out to him, telling him to stop spacing out while Luffy thanked him for getting his hat back, though that doesn't solve their hunger problem.
There was a moment of silence as Luffy looked back up, then noticed a bird above them. He grinned widely and suggested that they eat it.
"Where would you even cook it?" Denki asked in confusion. "I'm pretty sure you can't eat animals raw."
"That's not the important question here." Iida sighed.
When Zoro asked how, Luffy decided to stretch and grabbed onto the mast. "GOMU GOMU NO ROCKET!" Then he launched himself into the sky.
When Luffy reached the bird, he seemed to be caught... by the bird.
Zoro looked rather puzzled until it was shown that the bird was much bigger than expected, carrying Luffy's head in its beak.
Luffy screamed for help as Zoro tried to row as fast as he could.
"Oh my god." Katsuki sighed, though laughter did rang throughout the class.
"Okay, we needed that." Jiro smiled.
In the ocean, there were the pirates from the beginning of the episode as Zoro was getting close to them.
The pirates yelled for Zoro to stop, but since he doesn't have time for this, they had to cling onto the boat's side. Though they were saved, they had the gall to hold Zoro up by sword point, saying they're with Buggy the Clown.
"In three... two... one..." Katsuki counted down, holding up his fingers until...
Zoro glared at them, and one quick transition later, the pirates were beaten up, rowing the boat for the swordsman since they made him lose sight of Luffy.
"Knew it." Katsuki smirked, putting his hand down.
"Well, at least they're alive. Ribbit." Tsuyu said, remembering the earlier scene.
Zoro soon asked who this Captain Buggy is, and the pirates explained that he is a fearsome man with a powerful Devil Fruit.
"Well, at least we got some information about him." Iida said.
"Doubt that he's any threat." Hizashi waved it off. "I mean, his name is Buggy."
"Maybe he'll involve real bugs." Aizawa lightly joked, taking joy in the frightened look on his old friend's face.
Using one of the pirates' hat as a transition, there was a colorful ship with a flag of Buggy the Clown's jolly roger.
Among the seemingly empty town, the orange-haired girl ran away from a group of pirates, who claimed she stole their map of the Grand Line.
"It's the chick!" Mineta exclaimed, happy to see her.
In a tent, there was a man in the shadows, though there was a prominent feature about him: His big, red, round nose.
One of the pirates noticed something in the sky and Buggy commanded for it to be shot down. That something happened to Luffy and the bird carrying him.
The redhead thief continued on running until she heard on explosion and turned around, even the pirates stopped in confusion.
Falling from the sky and crashing into the ground was Luffy, who honestly thought that was a fun experience, as the redhead gapped at him.
"To Be Continued."
While Mineta celebrates in the background for an episode about the redhead, Izuku looked through his phone. "Huh, they did change a couple of things."
He could feel people surrounding his back and shoulders as Izuku went to the manga app for the first chapter of One Piece. "There's Gold Roger, but I think he's in the opening. They left out Luffy stabbing himself in the face..."
"That's how he got his scar?" Jiro deadpanned.
"I can see why they left it out." Iida said. "They probably don't want kids mimicking that."
"I highly doubt kids would stab themselves on purpose," Kirishima sweatdropped. "Even if it'll make you look 'cool.'"
"...they left out this guy sticking his cigarette into the bandit's face..." Izuku murmured.
"Why do they need to leave out stuff like that when we literally saw a guy get shot in the head?" Katsuki complained.
"...And a lot of stuff they could have put in the first episode."
"What!? We didn't get to see Luffy punch that sea monster in the face? It would have been great to see him take it down." It was kind of easy to imagine Toru pouting if she wasn't invisible.
"Hey! Hey!" Everyone looked up to see Mineta with the remote. "Sit down so we can get to see the girl!"
The class did, though it wasn't for Mineta. It was for One Piece.
AN: I feel like I should warn people that I've seen all four seasons of MHA, but I've read up to chapter 177 of the manga, which is in the middle of the U.A. School Festival Arc for the anime-only watchers (but I was spoiled on a couple of things in the future). I haven't read the Vigilantes spinoff or the light novels yet, but I've read all of the gag manga (not that it would help much). For One Piece, I'm pretty much up to date with the anime and mostly with the manga.
Also, don't worry about fillers. I'm not doing any fillers because One Piece is long enough without filler. Surprisingly enough, One Piece doesn't have that much filler despite it's length. Like 10% of it are fillers while Naruto and Bleach has like 40% fillers (no disrespect for those two though. I love them).
Anyway, hope you like this. I know it's one episode in this chapter but there will be more in the future.
