Even after reading the manga, the series still makes me feel. The desire to do something, the desire to live. Thank you One Piece!

Reply to Lanarde

it was well made with the sad emotions and such (especially with the father daughter moment with kuma) but still cant escape from the bad pacing of these episodes, cant even adapt a whole chapter anymore, its scary to imagine how bad the vegapunk broadcast is going to be as this was widely considered as the worst part of the manga, so that will be torture for the viewers

@Lanarde bro this episode adapts a chapter and 4 pages but the chapter itself has a bit slow pacing & pacing slow so anime don't caught up to manga :D

Another really emotional episode, once again, Kuma is going straight to Egghead to save Bonney. Vegapunk probably left some humanity in Kuma in secret, something like a split personality, like he mentioned before; he seems to have also removed Kuma's self-destruct mechanism in Kuma's body. This episode is adapted so well. It adapts more than the usual one chapter. It shows Kuma's epic Haki-infused punch onto Saturn, all the emotions, pain, suffering, rage after countless decades are shaped into one fist.

The episode begins without the opening song, something that is unique. Bonney was seen crying after discovering the truth about her father. Bonney went and hugged Vegapunk, thanking him; truly a beautiful moment. Vegapunk gives Bonney a necklace from Kuma that looks like a sun. Vegapunk explains what happens to Bonney while she was reading Kuma's memories. The Seraphime ran while York was the traitor, Vegapunk was captured, but was saved the Robin, another epic moment from Robin.

Back to the present, Bonney is still being held by Saturn and is about to be executed by the high-ranking marines on Saturn's orders. Bonney tries to imagine Nika again and transform like she did in the past, but her transformation isn't complete. Saturn is scared of Nika for a moment, but then realises Bonney doubted Nika's existence as she doesn't know what he truly looks like. Saturn explains the Age-Age fruit has the power not only to change the age of objects, but also can transform the user into whatever future they imagine. He reveals that he gave Bonney this power from an experiment without directly feeding the fruit to her. He admits that he conducted experiments on Ginny and made her develop Sapphire scales. He is the mastermind behind the tragedies that have destroyed Kuma’s life and devastated his family. Outraged, both Vegapunk and Bonney confront him, enraged by his merciless cruelty and evil actions. Saturn coldly defends his deeds, stating that if Vegapunk were in his position, he wouldn't comprehend the suffering of the "insects" he stepped on—revealing a mindset so cruel and detached that he appears irredeemably evil. When all hope seems lost, Luffy is having a feast as someone gave him a pile of food. Saturn orders the marines to handcuff him in sea prism stones. Everyone is stuck because of Saturn's powers; Kizaru likely decides to help Luffy because he knows that he is Nika. Kizaru is also badly injured and barely able to move after getting clocked by Luffy's Star Gun attack. Kizaruis worried about Bonney and Sentomaru. Was it Kizaru helping Luffy, or was it Luffy himself?

Kuma flying right onto Egghead just in time, using his laser beam to defeat the marines in his path. When the high-ranking marines are about to shoot Bonney and capture Luffy, Kuma's laser beam comes in clutch to save them. Kuma uses his body to stop Saturn from stomping Bonney to death; Kuma even still has the strength and willpower to grab onto Saturn's legs. Saturn is trembling in fear in front of Kuma, thinking he should be dead because he pressed the self-destruct button after the revolutionary army saved him. Kuma's epic punch is animated in black and white just like how Luffy punched that celestial dragon back in Sabaody. This scene is so well animated, with the music, flashback, delivering all the anger into one punch against the oppressors. Kuma's powerful punch flattens Saturn's head and sends him flying into the buildings, where his body gets disintegrated by the lasers and electricity, truly a satisfying moment. The opening song plays for the end credits, a spectacular episode, from the animations, directions, music, voice acting, as always, Oda delivers.

The totally aced Egghead, hiring freelance animators has done so much good to One Piece.
But the Kuma and Bonney story is beyond that.
The execution of this sub-arc is an actual masterpiece.

A great episode, with fluid animation and a "want to know more" feel. This arc is simply magnificent; fighting aside, it has enormous historical significance for One Piece.

@Pangea_ I think it was kizaru instead. It be weird but also make sense

Saturn giving Bonney her power was kinda super obvious tho x)

@MoimoiWa
Damn, Kizaru finally got the balls to do that?
Doesn't change the fact that Saturn is the biggest motherf*** T_T

Thank you Vegapunk for not installing the self destruct mechanism. I hope that that is the reason Kuma is alive.

He isn't really alive, tho.

His fatherly instincts are just that strong.

@Loaf_dontcare Maybe, but the thing is still that, as a machine, he didn't explode when Saturn tried to destroy him

And as they say, no Op only means a banger episode but it was a double combo! I hated myself for falling behind honestly but I guess sometimes things happen for a reason and I can only think this is only for the whole experience. At this point, it's not even about sanity, consciousness or rationality - just a pure display of parental affection and that's just beautiful. Genuinely stunned and the special Op is such a classy touch, thank you Toei!

This was the most satisfying punch in the whole series for me nocap. This even topped the St Charlos one by a landslide. St Saturn’s face was hilarious all throughout. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he realised Kuma regained his consciousness. 10/10 episode and a perfect end to the flashback

The way this episode starts out is straight out of a movie, with the perfectly timed cuts, going into Bonney’s reaction to seeing Kuma’s life story, and then as she consoles with Vegapunk, she goes back to her regular form to symbolize her vulnerability and heartbreak after seeing how much her father had to go through to ensure she could live a happy life. That was poetry in motion, nothing like I’ve ever seen before in my life, which is part of the reason why One Piece (ANIME EXCLUSIVELY) is the greatest fictional work in existence. Back in the present time, Bonney is in danger and Luffy wants some meat! GET THE FIFTH EMPEROR SOME MEAT, NOW! At the Kamabakka Queendom, Dragon questions where Kuma would go given his free will has been taken, and I think he realizes that his natural instinct is to help his daughter. Bonney tries to strike back with her Nika inspired attack, but it does nothing. The marines have the audacity to interrupt Luffy while he’s eating, which is extremely disrespectful to the future King of the Pirates. We learn from St. Saturn that her Age-Age fruit powers come from him. He was able to give her the powers as a baby without her eating the fruit herself. They allow the user to transform into any future version of themselves, but the potential of the power goes down the more the user knows about reality. Because she doesn’t fully believe in Nika, she can’t harness that kind of power, the same power that she used to clap Alpha’s cheeks in one punch. St. Saturn also experimented on Ginny, hence the Sapphire Scales that caused Kuma so much torment in the end. While this is going down, Kuma out of paternal instinct, is coming to save Bonney, and he’s not letting anybody stand in his way of that. As Kuma is coming, Bonney seems to be breaking down, ready to give everything up. Just as St. Saturn is about to kill Bonney, Kuma swoops in and takes the hit, ready to clap his cheeks (NO HOMO). Bonney shrinks down again, opening up to her father like she did with Vegapunk earlier. That self-destruct switch didn’t do anything to Kuma, HE’S STILL HERE! Kuma hits St. Saturn with a Haki infused punch, sending him flying as the opening song plays while we see flashbacks of Kuma and Bonney’s time together. JUST ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL STUFF RIGHT HERE! And in the section of the opening that looks at Bonney on the Sunny, we zoom into her sapphire charm, which symbolizes her bond with both Kuma and her mother. They do the cool effects with the TO BE CONTINUED screen again, which is just… OH MY GOD SO AMAZING. I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE ONE PIECE!

So, Bonney’s devil fruit is dependent on her beliefs. Kuma doesn’t have the autodestruction device and what happened to his consciousness.

Kuma's punch was so satisfying, if you ask me, lol. I really melted when Bonney apologized to Vegapunk and hugged him. It was a really touching moment. :(

The "Kizaru feeds Luffy" situation is one of the weirdest things Oda ever wrote, I cannot make any sense out of it. Also I still hate Vegapunk.

@Gator I feel even though Kizaru is loyal, he knows the government is wrong, and this time he had enough. Also this situation affects Sentomaru, and he has affection for him.

Is the implication that Kizaru gave luffy food?
Also damn, just damn.
Also this is like Darth Sidious/Reverse Flash levels of "It was me Dio!"

Kuma was already my favorite One Piece character next to maybe Usopp but he's really solidified his spot at this point. Especially since a lot of Post Time-Skip stuff doesn't always do Usopp justice.

Sometimes I am really happy that I watch the anime and do not only read the manga. Wow, this and the previous episode. They are masterpieces in their own class. Like truly. This flashback is one of he best that Toei has created (even though some scenes have been repetitive, but at a level that is quite befitting). It has been a long time since we have seen such good quality work, so much kudos to them.

Vegapunk tongued a 10-year-old and that's still not nearly as problematic as this shoddy pacing and asspull writing. How do "people" look forward to this slop?

@Me_Mario I guess so, why else focus on Kizaru right?
I guess he's finally seeing the injustice that he's sworn to protect, seeing Bonney almost being crushed to death.

Felt satisfying as hell seeing Kuma return and punch Saturn - Definitely similar vibes as Luffy punching one of the nobles called Charlos way back then.
Great stuff yet again!
