Immature much?

Anyway, I don't know if this episode is a filler or more information on Zoro, but I liked it. :)

Hang on, if this is a filler, then that means Oda doesn't explain how Zoro met Johnny and Yosaku in the manga...I find that pretty important, and it was a great excerpt of Zoro's past.

So that was the pre-luffy Zoro. Pirate Hunter Zoro, eh?

So thats how he got his 2 followers of bounty hunters. I wonder if those two will return in the coming episodes...

It could be surprising for some people, but word "dick" does not have a fowl meaning in Japanese. So please stop the silliness.
I really enjoyed this episode. Any kind of flashback involving Zoro is automatically tagged with "badass".

Probably the first nit-picky thing to bother me, Zoro used 'Onigiri' at the end while he hadn't even named it that until he met Luffy. Great episode.

Great episode, I find Johnny and Yusaka looking way cooler back then.
And it was nice seeing Zoro fight different this time around.

Which genius thought that naming them "The Dick Bandits" was a good idea?

I like Yosaku's old look than his new one but I'm glad Johnny got rid of the stupid mohawk

Zoro's bounty hunting days would be another spin-off series that I'd be down to watch.

The way I see this type of filler is that even if it's anime original, the information giving is ok as long as it doesn't end up conflicting with the source material and the characters are behaving as they would according to how the source has established them so far.

The filler has been alright to pretty good since the first two ended. That and the fact that we've gotten some great filler decisions such as bringing Ace early and had some quality filler such as the fake rebels in Alabasta I've gotten hopeful for future filler. Rather than skipping outright, or 2xing the episodes, or paying little attention I'll give them all a fair shot.

This was a cute episode showcasing how Johnny, Yosaku and Zoro got together. It wasn't much more than that but it was some cool backstory I hope doesn't later end up contradicting itself. Their old designs were quite funny. I didn't like how open Zoro was about his goal nor how he let his guard down against Dick so easy as it seems out of character, but at least it set up for that little kid splashing water on his cannon.

Moments like when Zoro grabbed his sword and told Nico Robbin to 'not stand beside me' are what I want from the new crew interactions. I understand everyone but Zoro fell for her immediately so it makes sense that they'd get along, but the lack of focus on anything new with her and the Straw Hats is frustrating. At least a moment like that lets us know the filler writers are still thinking about this stuff.

Anime makes me so fired up. I feel like I want to stare evil down even if I lose a fight while doing it because of Johnny, and Usopp, and many more out of One Piece examples.

So that's how the two bounty hunter pals was able to tag along with Zoro~ The whole episode was more about them than the Pirate Hunter himself, funnily enough.

Seeing Zoro in action was awesome though!

Completley Agree! I didn't even realize it was them! Until the end when they said big bro I was like OH YEAH it was a really pleasant surprise and wrapped up the episode for me well.

I love Zoro!!!!

The Dick Bandits where hilarous, loved the name wether it was on purpose or not.

I agree with this, Robin has been awkwardly on this boat with them for however long these filler episodes have been going on timeline-wise and it doesn't seem like any further interactions are being made which is just so stale and weird to me. It's like the writers just don't want to deal with it yet. The most I've seen her smile is the last episode with the big firework. But other than that she's lurky and seems to be watching the straw hats from afar and sizing them up personally, but the other crewmates seem to just straight up ignore her. Glad we're seeing this from Zoro in this episode.
