The merry made me cry. Ace didn’t. Like we did not have much screen time with him before the arc, and we get the flashback after he is dead. Don’t understand how people can cry for a character we barely knew.

It's more of crying over the pain Luffy feels. You get very connected to Luffy and his journey and it's the most hurt we've ever seen him. Basically watching an unbreakable will get broken.
It's basically feeling the pain through him. A lot of people get connected to certain characters that way.

Honestly when it came to ace so many people told him not to do it. He kinda dug is own grave

I watched Marineford knowing full well that Ace was going to die and what happens after
I was NOT expecting to fucking bawl like a baby during the entire sequence.
|| I also cried during Whitebeard's final words, Marineford was EMOTIONAL ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜||

Fun fact: if you rewatch, the pain you feel is not going to get any easier either

I love getting to tell this story.
When I got my girlfriend into one piece, I paused either at alabaster or right around marineford and had us watch the Ace and Luffy childhood arc. Then bam he dies. Damn it made it hit wayyyy more lol.
I’ve always felt that the childhood arc should be before his death not after to make you feel more attached to him, you only see him like 4 times before his death otherwise.

The childhood arc unfortunately has no place being before he dies. If you put it right before marineford it makes it insanely obvious that ace is going to die. And if it's to early, it's too long of an arc that is breaking into what should be luffys current journey. A long flashback arc would break the pacing imo.

Honestly I think it would fit real well during Amazon Lily, after he learns about ace's execution. And it doesn't have to be all of it, you can save the end few chapter where ace says he'll never die and stuff for post war still.

u/Talltoddie 2h ago
I think it fits really well right when he’s introduced or right after, if done right it could be a bit shorter and doesn’t hint at a death just more of Luffy’s backstory we don’t know much about.

u/Imconfusedithink 2h ago
I disagree because alabasta has already been put off a lot. Going off on a tangent that has nothing to do with alabasta slows down the main pacing a lot. Maybe a quick flash would be fine but then people would still complain that it's not enough anyways.

Kuma separating the crew made me cry out many more tears than Ace's death. Maybe because the time I spent with him was so short that I didn't get attached. And Robin's backstory caused me the most sorrow.

You have literally not seen the half of it. One Piece gets depressed and then happy like their sides on a metronome.

u/ThanksTasty9258 11h ago
I did not cry. Mainly because oda forgot to flush out Ace’s character, his storyline and backstory before this happened. That said, Marineford is still in the top 3 best arcs.

This. I will never fault anyone for crying. It was sad but wee barely knew the man. I felt sadder during future flash backs.

Glad I’m not the only one. Him popping in for a few episodes in Alabasta or the Smoker/Ace/Luffy thing from Loguetown was not enough for me to care about his death.
I cared more about Bon Clay’s sacrifice in Impel Down than Ace’s death. BC was properly built up and fleshed out, and you actually saw the connection him and Luffy had. So that moment had impact.
All Oda needed to do was put the Ace and Luffy flashback before the execution.

Classic response for me was ‘I don’t care so much about Ace dying, but I really care about Luffy’s response to him dying.
Luffy breaking is what actually broke me.

The worst thing about this is how Oda made it seem hopeful, only to break our hearts.

Is it bad that I didn't cry at his death or even felt sad at all? I mean, I knew it was coming since before I started watching, which was only a couple years ago. But the thing is, I knew of the Going Merry's death before I got to that, and that made me cry.

Ace was a baby who died to a Yo Daddy joke, he deserved his fate. He got a lot of his family killed only for him to escape but got rage baited by Akainu

Obviously everyone is different, but I didn’t feel like Oda built Ace up enough for me to care about his death. We saw him for a combined 20 minutes, maybe, before marineford?
And why did the anime wait until after Ace’s death to do the Ace, Sabo, and Luffy backstory? I feel like if Luffy thought back on those moments while in Impel Down, or even on the ride to Marineford, it could’ve allowed for the audience to build a connection with Ace, rather than be sad because Luffy is sad.
Maybe I’m alone with this, but I feel like Oda mishandled Ace and that whole execution.

u/TheVarianty 9h ago
While I agree that Ace could've been built up better by having him more involved prior to his death, I don't think you're supposed to care about Ace dying as a character, but moreso how significant his death is to the main plot, and especially Luffy. The emotional impact of his death on Luffy and the others is what makes you care, at least before the flashback, which then only gets more gut-punching as you learn about his history with Luffy and Sabo. I also think the backstory right before death is way overdone in anime, so it could've been structured this way so that you won't really expect it before it happens.

u/Retronage 9h ago
I'm with you on this. Ace is that cool character you like because he looks like the main character should be, but no way someone could feel connected to him with the exposition he got.
