My friend said I should watch One Piece from episode 1, I called him crazy

Honestly, my buddy Jake kept telling me for months that skipping to the time skip in One Piece was a huge mistake. I was like no way I'm watching 500 episodes before things get good. But I finally caved and started from episode 1 back in January. Now I'm on episode 180 and I totally get it now. The slow buildup makes every big moment hit way harder. He was right about all the little jokes and callbacks too. Has anyone else had a friend push them through a long anime and actually been glad they listened?

Jake had to explain three separate running jokes from episode 50 for me to get them.

Read somewhere the creator planted seeds 500 episodes early. Wild.
