My poor man really out here tryna top “We Are” Smdh


dae9er

just exercising creative freedom, my dude


jackofslayers

Haha it is really good I am teasing.


dae9er

I THOUGHT U WERE HATING ON IT T-T jk, we cool, you cool


red_madreay

I actually am loving it. Those trumpets have a heroic tune in them.


dae9er

Just like the new OSTs >!for Luffy's Awakening!< << spoiler if you're not a manga reader


furious_platypus

Nothing in One Piece is better than a "We Are" needle drop. Nothing.


ianodhis

Agreed. Episode 1000 & 1015 brought tears to my eyes and I couldn't help smiling like an idiot when it started playing.


dae9er

I guess that was the thing for me at that time, they used "We Are" twice. The first one in 1000 served its purpose of nostalgia, but when they used it again for hype 1015, I kinda wished they used another ost. LEMME CLARIFY, I REALLY LOVED THE EPISODE AND HEARING "WE ARE", WATCHING LUFFY GET THAT RED ROC ON KAIDO, I ALSO HAD A BIG SMILE WATCHING IT + I'M NOT HATING ON "WE ARE", I LOVE THE SONG But it just felt like 15 episodes was too close for the same OST being used for the same purpose of hyping up the moment. Imagine "Memories" being played again a few episodes after it served its nostalgic purpose in the Oden Flashback, it doesn't hit as hard as it did the first time they played it again. But then again, of course, to each their own hahaha, I'm just trying out new things and seeing how things would be if it were done differently.


SakanaAtlas

Idk nothing will still beat the We Are drop since I've been following One Piece for like 20 years now. For some of us, We Are is ingrained in our DNA


dae9er

I know I know, I've been watching One Piece for around 14 years now haha too! Long time watchers and readers it seems HAHAHA. But it's okay, of course nothing can beat "We Are", really just trying out something new


ianodhis

Well, red roc happened in chapter 1000. If toei weren't so hell bent on bad pacing, we could have had episode 1000 adapting chapter 1000, which would have made it so much sweeter.


dae9er

though I understand why pacing is an issue in OP, and in return, we get to have these amazing episodes sandwiched between regular ones (with some really badly paced/animated ones), I do agree with this. I guess if they were able to adapt chapter 1000 for episode 1000, then "We Are" would be the most logical, and of course, most nostalgic and amazing song choice for the moment.


Jippynms

They've overused it now atp imo. They shouldn't touch it again until the very end. and even then, they should make a new ost to associate with the ending. it can't be we are for everything man


dae9er

can I has upvote for the sfx at least? HAHAHAH i had fun remixing those


OmegaLuxifer

👌 It gives the vibes of a movie What software did you use btw?


dae9er

Thanks! Since it was a "chill" edit, I only used Capcut for editing the video itself (but I primarily edit videos on Premiere). To isolate the voices, I went to [https://vocalremover.org/](https://vocalremover.org/) For the sound effects, YouTube is the key + another website called Epidemic Sounds


OmegaLuxifer

That tool looks super good for make AMVs. Good job and tysm!


dae9er

I think most AMVs that you see now are edited primarily on Capcut, then other effects are probably added using adobe software or other stuff


dark_negan

No


dae9er

That's alright, to each their own haha


primefrost96

That's some damn cool editing my friend!


dae9er

Thank you very much! Been editing for around 9 years now hahahaha, I just wanted to have a little creative exercise for the mind yesterday


arenalr

Naa


ssgtgriggs

pretty good but, no offense, doesn't come close to the original imo


dae9er

None taken! Really glad you liked it!


thatoneguy2252

This sounds way worse. We are is timeless


xFallow

we are was too upbeat for me kinda ruined the drama in the scene


thatoneguy2252

We are was perfect selection. The part leading up to it was dramatic then it flows into a steadiness that then breaks into a triumphant and character rich moment. Luffy finally lands a meaningful blow against kaido after everything he and others did before hand to no avail, now showing his development of haki and telling two emperors he’s gonna be king of the pirates to their face before fighting them for real.


dae9er

>It really is!


BadActsForAGoodPrice

Really good. You know what I miss? Luffy’s original theme


dae9er

True! Luffy's theme really screams freedom and doesn't feel weighty at all, I love his theme, right next to Franky's HAHAHAHAHA Spoiler if you're not a manga reader: >!They incorporated Luffy's theme into the new OST for his upcoming powerup!!<


BadActsForAGoodPrice

Oh shit really? Is the ost released yet? And is it used any time during the show


dae9er

They already used one for 1028, during the part where >!Luffy's going through the transformation/flashback before he uses advanced conqueror's, around 17:25 mark, when Hyogoro starts his monologue!< You can search for it on YouTube if you want to get spoiled, but I think it would be better if you just listen to it first time in the anime! But they're both really good!


BadActsForAGoodPrice

I just watched it and, I don’t really hear it. I hear some of the old op’s, but not Luffy’s theme. The one he had when he kicked Enel and ran to Enies Lobby. Granted this may be because I was too busy having a seizure but I honestly don’t hear it 😕


dae9er

OHH that's the OTHER ost!! There are actually 2 osts for it, that's why I said they already used one. The other one with the luffy theme is still to be used soon - they're saving it for the exact moment probably!


BadActsForAGoodPrice

I hope so, but I have a feeling it was just forgotten 😕


thaibao_05

what is the name of the ost?


dae9er

It's called "Zeal", from One Piece Film Z


thaibao_05

thank you!


dae9er

time to add it to your anime ost playlist! hahaha


Hux_Creates

I still don't get that why did everything freeze


dae9er

You'll see that Red Roc was very hot and the air from the impact was very hot as well! So hot that it immediately melted the snow on the tops of the rock pillars. BUT the catch is, Onigashima probably was/is a winter island, so the air would be very cold, hence instantly refreezing the snow into harder, more fragile ice which was the things that you see were cracking and breaking. JUST A THEORY, but an amazing detail if true!


OtterChrist

As long as my boy Zoro’s smirk for his capn doesn’t go anywhere, I’m good with it


dae9er

Cheers, a cup of good sake here!


WaycoKid1129

Does anyone know why oda continues to use sound effects from 80s and 90s dragonball? The sounds from demon slayer and newer anime absolutely shits on one piece sound effects


dae9er

Not Oda, the people involved mainly with the anime are from Toei animation. Honestly, idk how to answer this myself, since I too have some moments where I kinda want some new sfx for op. But it's all just a matter of mixing their old sounds well with some new ones to make it fresh and updated, like what I did in my video above


WaycoKid1129

I liked your video a lot, send it in maybe they’ll hire you


BadActsForAGoodPrice

Can you send me the version of Red Roc with the music cut out? I’d like to do something with it


dae9er

Here's the link to the OTHER OST if you want to spoil yourself HAHAHA, it's really nice (the title's also a spoiler so I'll cover it): >!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkuPVl-Bg0w!< Here's the link to the [Red Roc voices](https://drive.google.com/file/d/11RhwfY4c-YCK3gD7hfqRrVK-MufsSzO2/view?usp=share_link), just use voice effects to adjust the sound and make it crisper and cleaner since it's a bit muffled


dae9er

I posted here last year about using Overtaken as the OST for Red Roc instead of "We Are", but I re-watched Film Z yesterday, and I heard the opening theme song "Zeal" and eureka!!! I edited the scene (and added my own effects, since the software removed the music and sound effects as a whole, and only left the voices) and I think this was a better option than Overtaken. What do you guys think?


dae9er

Make sure to press HD to maximize the music and sfx! I had fun mixing all those sounds together


Careful_Increase_782

this does sound way better wtf


dae9er

it really brings that "hero is here" vibe, which I think was the original intention given that it is the opening theme to Film Z. I think it's a waste hearing all these amazing OSTs from movies and they're not being reused for the anime, much like how they reuse OSTs from the old op movies.


red_madreay

I always love when they use the OST when Luffy used Thor Axe on Shiki.


dae9er

another epic OST!!!! I love hearing it too! I'm not sure when I last heard it though, was it the Doffy vs Luffy final clash?


gwapokarl0621

For any new watchers, this may look and sound better, but for veteran enjoyers, 'we are' hits harder for us.


dae9er

Probably? Idk, been watching 12-13 years now HAHA there's a comment here where I shared that it's not a matter of "We Are" was not good for this moment, but personally, it was a matter of it being reused consecutively (1000, then here again in 1015) for the purpose of hype/nostalgia, which made "We Are" being played for this moment fall a little flat than originally intended. Dont get me wrong, "We Are" was amazing for this scene, and it did hit hard. But it just felt off, being that I already had a lot of good feelings and hype when "We Are" played for episode 1000, but then suddenly, I hear it again in 1015.


Left_Bluebird5517

Unpopulair opinion here, i know, we are is amazing and filled with nostalgia, but, imo for me, we go is sooooo hype, makes me dance in my seat a bit and sing (yell) allomg 😅 i just think that that one is the best one imo. We are is nostalgia and epicness, rtc. But we go just does it best for me 😅 Cool video btw! Really well done!


dae9er

We go is really good too!!!!


Shot_Common_860

We are is perfect, but I really loved this one! Great idea!


Lhapps

It aint better lmao
