| This episode was a really good suspense-build up episode by introducing most of the main players in Thriller Bark. Buuuuut, um, uh, anyone else kind of disappointed with Moria's voice? Sounds like one of those baby wind up dolls, to be honest. I was expecting a much deeper voice, but, oh well. I'm sure I'll get used to it. |
| I was also disappointed by Moria's voice. I thought it would be way deeper, but now he sounds like a little kid. Oh well I guess I'll get used to it. The rest of the episode was great. ^^ Finally Absalom and Perona showed themselves :D |
     |
| Well i guess it fits for Moria to have a childish voice if you look at his attitude. (Ordering people to get him what he wants and so on...) But guess they revealed most of Moria's troops by now. But yeah those zombies stay funny in the anime.. XD |
 |
| Lots of introductions in this one. |
 |
| Meh Moria voice was stupid. But I somewhat liked Perona's voice. Lmao, Zombies: Leader, Leader, Leader.....who likes to peep! Zombies: Ero-leader, Erosalom, Erosalom, Erros, Ero, Ero. Lmao. |
     |
| Massive buildup. |
 |
| Even I who haven't read the manga was thinking "hmm, if I'd read the manga I'd be disappointed with that voice, because he looks like he could be badass if you disregard that part." A bit slow episode, not much happened but yeah they did introduce a whole bunch of characters. I wonder who will fight who? |
 Thanks De-Jay for my claim picture : ). |
| It was an alright episode. there were two things that I thought were weird: 1. Moria's voice. I was expecting a gruff, deep, sinister voice. That certainly wasn't the case. 2. The BGM for Absalom's scene was Symphony no.9. which was something that didn't really fit. |

I kidna liked that part. The music tried to make it sound epic and impressive. Kinda like absalom intended, Too bad the zombies had other ideas. lol |
 |
| It was a pretty good ep. I agree with avarice, the bgm for absalom didn't fit very well. Lol Erosalom. |
     |
| Pretty good episode. Looks like they finally introduced all the bad guys. Darkreaper70 said: Zombies: Leader, Leader, Leader.....who likes to peep! Zombies: Ero-leader, Erosalom, Erosalom, Erros, Ero, Ero. Lmao. Loved that part xD |

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Looks promising, but going kinda slow. |

| Damn Moria looks evil. Can't wait to see what his plans are. Another arc with a shinshubukai, things are definitely going to get serous. |
  |
| I got really excited after hearing Thriller Bark is actually a ship.. and the largest pirate ship in fact! :-D Also all or most of the enemies have ben shown.. another Shichibukai for a beating which makes this arc totally great.. Absalom on the other-hand reminds me of Lucci for some reason haha |
   |
| I enjoyed the episode and these are indeed some of the funniest Zombies I've seen. |

| Lol, Luffy is the new Zombie King ^^ OMG a Shichibukai appeared! Well not really but almost.... Seems like it will be reaaaaally interesting from now on! LOL; such a pain... *sigh* Those unmotivated zombies :P |
| Omg lol at the lowly zombies getting beaten up ^^ LOL; *thing appears* Luffy; An old man with a big wound! crew; can't you see it's a zombie??! guy; no, I'm actually an old man with a big wound... crew; too confusing! let's just stick with zombie! So funny OTL |
| Moria doesn't seem that ba. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

  |
| Ouka Shichibukai, Gecko Moria. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| A fight with warlord eh? That'll be interesting. |
 |
| Man the laughs really didn't translate well into English. |
| I really like this ambiantation. I really really do best one *-* |
 |
| I like the horror house vibes of this arc for sure |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Gaahh, Perona's design really is adorable!! She looks a lot different to the other OP girls. And just when I thought the Thousand Sunny was completely awesome, here we have Thriller Bark which is literally a ship carrying a freakin' Island on it. It's basically what Iceberg wanted Water 7 to be! So we got introduced to the main players this episode, and Moria seems to be the main antagonist since he's the one stealing everyone's shadows. Honestly, are any of the Seven Warlords decent?! |

| Interesting! So far, this arc had been a fun but simple story. I had predicted most of the story beats before they were revealed as it was foreshadowed quite well. This episode threw a wrench in that. We're introduced Gecko Moria, the third warlord the Straw Hats will have a face to face meeting with. The first being Mihawk who Zoro was far ill-prepared for creating one of the most memorable episodes and one of the most impactful character moments in the series. Then they met my personal favorite villain Crocodile and beat his butt, after two losses that is. And, we have seen two others but the Straw Hats themselves have not met them yet. I wasn't expecting such a major presence to appear in this otherwise zany, spontaneous and comedic arc but the second it was revealed my jaw dropped. Things just got so much more interesting. On top of that it revealed the pink haired girl and her deep voiced bear and the night raid. I do have to wonder why the night raid was held off on until now, it seems it could have started any time before this, but it may be ritual to start it at a specific time like Hogback seemed to imply. I love how Zoro immediately got all serious when the severely injured old man told them Moria invited them here. Best guard dog in the world. Those moments when he starts treating things as genuine threats always get me turnt. So, I had thought all the zombies were Hogback's creations, but it seems instead there are also legitimate severely injured old men who like Brook had their shadows stolen, but not by Hogback like many of us thought, instead by Moria. I have to assume Moria has a shadow themed devil fruit power and he probably eats the pirates shadows that get caught by Thriller Bark. Maybe this even makes him stronger. This made things less clear. Hogback very well probably isn't the head of the island, instead it's potentially Moria. That said, it isn't like Moria is the one doing anything, he's just sleeping for days at a time and being woken up to eat sacrifices brought to him. Hogback had authority over Absalom so he's still up there as maybe the second in charge. I just cannot fathom him being in charge of a Warlord but I suppose that isn't totally off the table, for now I'll assume he's second in charge. This leads to the question why did Brook then threaten Hogback? I assume it was because he knew he was involved with Moria and was threatening him to reveal Moria's location or something like that. Luffy scaring the zombies who scared the coward group was pretty hysterical. He was having fun intimidating them hahaha. I wonder if they'll be so scared of Luffy's group they'll change sides. It seems the major fights will be Absalom, pink haired girl and bear, zombie samurai with brooks laugh, Moria, and perhaps Hogback himself. The ghosts seem to be more like support for the main power houses. Absalom and pink haired girl seemed to have armies of zombies under them to order so I assume this would imply Hogback is in charge of her as well and also the zombie samurai because his authority here seems even less so. I wouldn't be surprised if Hogback was honest about trying to bring people back but their connection to Moria is now interesting. I wonder what they get out of working together. I had initially thought he wanted Brook's shadow to research but if they take all of their victims shadows that seems to not be the case. I also think Absalom may be one of Hogbacks creations. I didn't notice a number on him but he was half man half lion with a lion mouth stitched onto him making him appear like any other of the branded Hogbackian creations. This would make sense for why he is his superior. This episode really opened up this arc in a fascinating way! |
| It's nice to find out that Hogback isn't the main antagonist of this arc despite being quite troublesome. It turns out that he's just a member of the powerful Gecko Pirates. It's surprising that Thriller Bark's actually a gigantic ship but I certainly did not expect the dastardly shadow stealer to be one of Seven Warlords of the Sea. Perona looks really cute but they'll all have to get their asses kicked soon. What in the world's happened to Brook, hm. |
 |
| The night raid has begun... |
 |
| Thriller Bark is actually a huge ship. |

| Hmm... an alright episode. Hopefully, it won't be like Long Ring Long Island arc |
| That "heavily-injured man" scene cracked me up! haha! I also thought he was a zombie too! |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Oh wow another One of the Seven Warlords? 😱 |
 |
| Okay I didn't expect that we'd meet one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea here. That's kinda exciting. |
 |
| Some great comedy and an introduction to several important characters. A good episode for sure. |
| Really like the new pink waifu. Very interesting arc so far!!! |
| sakuga shadows, gorgeous Ode To Joy to introduce Absolom proper, gorgeous and that whole ending sequence with the music and the sakuga fence opening, gorgeous man they smashed this arc outta the park, must have been a huge ass budget increase at this time |
