This episode was prolly the most enjoyable thus far though and I shed a little tear there ;_; Zoro is definitely growing on me! Yep Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Nami etc. will definitely grow on you ;3 I didn't like Luffy at first tbh...thought he was gonna be a bit of a Natsu...but he's growing on me. His stupidity and general blasé attitude are both infectious XD Sanji is probably my favorite out of the main crew so far! |

Technically One Piece is older than Fairy tail so it's better to say that Natsu was more like Luffy than opposite :3 The creator of One Piece is heavily influenced of Dragon Ball, and thus if you compare Luffys character with Goku you find a lot of similar traits like: super strong, goofs around too much, attracts/causes trouble, loves to eat food, is stupid when not fighting etc. :3 |

TheFreycook said: #EveryOnePieceCharacterHasASadBackstory Not all of them are of the same quality though. That said, I think the anime did this better than the manga. |

| I thought Kuina would have died in a more dramatic way, maybe getting killed or even suicide...but the episode wasn't bad overall. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| So sad. The backstory made me love Kuina because of her amazing personality. I wish she'd of lived and become the world's greatest swordsman despite what anyone said, though her death does make the story more dramatic and that's good. |

| While the others go messing around with cannonballs, Zoro frequently takes naps to reminisce the time he spent with Kunia 9 years ago. To think that the rival who grew in strength and spirit along with him who just promised to be the greatest swordswoman in the world being taken away from her dream that abruptly and unexpectedly undignified way. It's too cruel... His two signature swords were already in his possession but looks like that the white Katana was actually a memento from her ;~; It's interesting to see that Usopp has a proficiency fro all ranged weaponry so far and not just slingshots~ |
 |
| Yeah that death seemed very fishy to me at first, but I kind of came to accept it. A really sad but somehow beautiful episode. Those random cut away shots to that owl though. lol. |
| Little Zoro is adorable. Bit of a sad episode though. Sanji next!! |
  |
| tragic backstory... keep moving forward Zoro :( |
| Little Zoro is so cute! I love training montages. Zoro is easily my favorite. This episode made me cry, poor Zoro. |
| so this episode was about Zorro's past R.I.P. Zorro's childhood friend |
 |
| I really thought they were both gonna compete to become the best swordsman I didn’t except her to die Zoro backstory was tragic |
 |
| Damn! Zoro's backstory and training. Honestly, Zoro has been my favourite character so far. It's great to see him grow and train. Zoro's a true one for sure. He acknowledged Kuina and doesn't disregard her skill just cause she was a girl. The dude's a true gentleman. Welp Zoro meets his brother/partner(?) |
 |
| Good episode! I'm actually having a hard time believing that Kuina is actually dead. The dad is giving me weird vibes. 900 eps to go to see if she's really dead. |
| Wow Zoro backstory... Kuina die by accident like that? It sounds so suspicious. They didn't show us the body. I hope there is something more into it. |

| mini zoro recap \o/ I can't quite recal who Johny is though and what he want's on the ship |
 |
| wow. they really outdid the manga with this one. zoro's backstory in the manga was good but they had much more depth and time spent on it in the anime and it made it way better. this is the first time the anime has outdone the manga |
| zoro has always looked zestful as fuck |
| Anyone else really suspicious of Kuina's death? She is literally so powerful but dies "accidentally falling down stairs". Also, we never see her death so it's kinda sus. I think she is either still alive or someone murdered her (maybe her dad?) |
| Damn that was a really powerful episode . I really liked it !!!! |
XALFONZO90X said: ...it's just a guess but she might've faked her death to train somewhere else to improve. lol, didn't you heard? she went out and make her own show to despise her father 😜 *attempted joke*  OnigirisBasket said: Zoro as a kid was just a bundle of energy and ambition haha. i found it cringeworthy ngl, i hate the kid. yungwarlock said: Really? Stairs? yeah, she's not the Castlevania's belmond 😭 Koshi_the_Cat said: Anyone else really suspicious of Kuina's death? She is literally so powerful but dies "accidentally falling down stairs".

| AHH Zoro's childhood. Man it was kinda heavy, ever since starting OP I was feeling like it's like just another shounen anime what's so special about it to be so popular and liked by many cool people I know maybe I am starting to get it. |
