10 Coolest Brook One Piece Anime Episodes, Ranked
----- ADS-----
It takes a skilled musician to bring their audience on the brink of tears, yet Brook manages to play just the right notes in the One Piece anime. Over 50 years ago, his entire pirate crew fell sick to an incurable disease, which he only survived because his spirit lived on with the Yomi Yomi no Mi. It wasn’t until he met the Straw Hats in Thriller Bark that he found new friends. The skeletal musician can play comedic and dramatic roles within an instant.
Despite having arguably the least amount of screentime among his fellow Straw Hats, Brook’s heartbreaking story and humorous antics will leave One Piece anime viewers crying tears of laughter and sadness, as he plays key roles within the storyline whenever the spotlight falls upon him. Whether he’s singing a sad melody or taking on a frightening monster, Brook’s featured episodes are typically acclaimed within the fandom.
Eiichiro Oda is a master of callbacks in the One Piece series. Even seemingly minor characters may play a larger role as the story progresses. This is the case for Laboon, a massive whale the Straw Hats encountered in the Reverse Mountain arc. He ends up relevant again during Thriller Bark when it’s revealed that Brook has a shared history with Laboon, a friendly companion to his former pirate crew from over half a century ago.
