| Sweet episode. Well my first question is...When is One Piece gonna get a new ending?!? Its kind of bothering me =P Well I guess that was my only question. *shrug* Anyway, Sanji is awesome, that's the main thing this episode confirms. I'm starting to get excited, its finally the beginning of Sanji and Zoro's battles, and everything else in this arc is awesome. Can't wait to see it. Also...Spandam is a jerk....I really hate him. |
 |
| I really liked this episode too. Definitely good stuff. It's pissing me off that Luffy isn't using his Gear 2...but it makes sense because he has to be the last one to own and stuff. I wish the episode wasn't titled "Sanj Hunter?!" If that wouldn't have been the title, I would have thought Usopp was going to die. If Usopp dies, everyone's happy. :) How exactly is Zoro going to win against someone that can stop steel with his body? Ooookay, cheesy? |
| Well the ep is v.good and Zoro can cut steel remember in the ep when he defeated Mr.number one he was able to cut him so maybe he is going to defeat kaku in the next ep or the one after. I was thinking the same thing about Usopp if he die a weak charcter is being off the show but i dont think that the anime going to be as much fun if Usopp is gone he is like Luffy funny but weak I dont know why Oda dosent make him just fight with the dial he got if he did that all the fight will be easy for him. |
| This episode was KICKASS! Zoro's real battle finally started with a freaking cool and interesting villain if you ask me, and Sanji who always looks like it is left out of the situations always comes in to save the day! Serioously I can't measure the level of coolness of Sanji, I'm glad he wasn't stuck with a boring character like Kalifa and went up against one of the top 3. Also guys stop ctriticising Usopp's "uselessness", sure he is one of the weakest of the crew. but not everyone needs to be a fighting specialist, Usopp has some of the funniest moments in One Piece as well as other uses. He also had some greatt fights, even if they were few (2 or 3) but then again, like Sanji said, there's things everyone can and cannot do. With thas said, I wanna see what Zoro and Sanji can do! |

greenmush said: Me too, I love Usopp! Zoro has already cut steal hasn't he? I can't remember when but it was a loooooooooooong time ago, and he was able to cut that #1 guy from Baroque Works and his entire body was made from steal or something wasn't it?if usopp dies, ill kill everyone thats happy Anyway, a lot of Zoro and Sanji bad assery comin up ^_^ |
 |
| Damn it's getting more intense. But the pace is slow as hell! 5/5 |
     |
| Loved this episode. Sanji was so cool on his entrance lol >.< |
| I dunno why people dislike usopp.. well he's one of my fav! HANAKING (nose king), SOGEPP, HANAEPP LOL! :-)))))))))))))) good thing sanji came along! I wonder what sanji is implying "What I (usopp) can do?" hmmm hidden message? |
   |
| I face palm when people make Usopp out to be useless, when Sanji makes it PERFECTLY clear he isn't useless. Anyway, I hated the title as well because it made it obvious that Sanji would save the day. What a freaking badass. |

| God damn, Sanji ALWAYS with the epic entrances. |
 |
| i like that luffy is clearly struggling with lucci in normal gear because it reflects the situation back in water 7. can't wait to see his new techniques, but their current fight is still interesting because it's animated the most dynamically of all the fights. next i'm pumped for zoro/kaku, since i like both characters. |
| I like how for the first time in a long time, we see USOPP shine, not Sogeking. We're going to see Usopp be awesome :D I hope he breaks out of his mask/shell! |

| Usopp should have died.. but yeah sanji gave a good speech. |

KipiLV said: I dunno why Nami still doesn't love Sanji =D Probably because he turns paper form every time he speaks to her :P. Great episode. And it got me interested, both about the badassery of Sanji and Zoro and the way Usopp will take to help in Robin's cause. I hope the ending is worth the hype because it's absurdly high right now. |

| Fuck it. Every signature I upload ends up removed anyways. |
| the last part of this episode was a really good one. "I'll do what you can't do. You do what I can't do." Sanji is saying something you narrow minded people can't get: even though sanji is tough with his kicks, usopp is VITAL for his brains and marksmanship. what kind of fans are you for wishing usopp to die? he's weak, but mentally he's a genius. imagine how fucked the crew would be in the past if it weren't for him. Jeez. |

| I don't want Usopp to die but what irritates me is that up against Luffy he fought HARD. Yes, part of it is because he knows how Luffy fights already whereas here he's fighting new enemies but he brought out all sorts of tricks to compensate for not being able to handle a stronger opponent. When he became sniper king, part of me was hoping that we'd see more of that determined Usopp but sadly... |
| Sanji's the most badass, as always. Nice! |

| Sanji yupiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!! Epic and badass! I am happy we are gonna see him at a proper fight! The scene when he kicks the wolf man, Zoro's smiling and Sanji says "the hunter!" it's freaking awesome!!!!! This episode and I am guessing the next two (Sanji's and Zoro's fights ???) will be amazing :D And it's Usopp's time to show us his abilities too! I don't get the hate against him. It's exactly what Sanji said. He can't beat a real strong enemy but he can still save the day! I think maybe one of the reasons everyone dislikes him is because while everyone adores the super-heroes of one piece, Usopp is what we are closer to. A real average person with normal powers who gets scared when danger is close. And still he tries to win his fears and become braver (and that's what most of us aren't doing at all) |
greenmush said: if usopp dies, ill kill everyone thats happy Agreed. Usopp and Luffy are my favorite Straw Hats. Though Usopp was a complete idiot for causing that entire handcuff fiasco. But to be fair, he did sort of make up for it by tricking the enemy and even acting as a temporary sword. Also, he designed the Perfect Climatact, and that thing kicks ass. I hope Usopp pays heed to Sanji's words. I think at this point he's still trying to find a style that suits him. He's not an aggressive powerhouse fighter like the Monster Trio, he's a clever sniper with a remarkably diverse arsenal of tools. I hope Usopp proves to be useful by figuring out just what it is he can do. But yeah, awesome, Sanji is back to kicking ass as usual. |

His ingenuity has helped the straw hats on several occasions. From keeping the Going Mary afloat, to making Nami a very useful weapon so she isn't just a golddigger/navigator. The Hate for Ussop is just stupid, especially since he's the ONLY 3 dimensional character other than Nico Robin in the OP universe right now. |

| Aw yeah Sanji to the rescue!! Things are looking kinda bleak for Luffy though |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| It's interesting that Luffy isn't going third gear yet. I think Lucci has shown him that he won't get by on his normal skills alone and Luffy clearly isn't trying to win this fight but rather get to Robin before she gets through the gates. So, all that being said, I think the only justification for why Luffy isn't going third gear yet is that: 1. he's too exhausted from doing it to break the door and needs time to 'recharge'. 2. the time flow of shounen anime is hard to grasp and maybe it hasn't been that long in show time so Luffy hasn't felt like he's had to yet... If it's not one of those two then it's pretty ridiculous writing. And, the fight still looks like trash, yay. It's interesting that Chimney, Gonbe, Kokoro, and more importantly Franky and Chopper are on their way to run into Lucci and Luffy right now. I wonder if it's going to go in such a way that Luffy distracts Lucci with a gear and Franky or more likely Chopper or both rush to Robin's side. More likely Chopper because of his motherly relationship with Robin, whereas Franky doesn't really have a connection to her yet. That's my prediction on how it'll go. I may have misunderstood but did Nami suggest to Franky that they'd rather go through the gates of justice instead of backward to face a broken bridge, a waterfall, and a buster call? Because Nami isn't normally that bold and I feel like that could go very poorly. I guess both sides are not good and it illuminates that even after they save Robin this will not be over! "That long neck of yours, you'd better hope it doesn't become your weak point." And onto the most important part of this episode, the Jabra fight. At first, I was excited for Usopp to fight Jabra like how I was at the initial introduction to him vs Usopp. But, as the fight went on and Usopp lost harder and harder, despite him trying his best to fight back, I realized what the episode title meant. Sure, it may have been a feeling of disappointment when Sanji came in as his clutch awesome self to save the day loaded up on his sick nicknames and one-liners(this time calling himself a hunter), but when I realized the purpose of having Sanji take this fight over I realized I didn't know I wanted this so bad. I wouldn't have it any other way. And Sanji's clutch appearance and that amazing looking kick to save Usopp was awesome in every way apart from the fact that he does this in like every arc and saves the day in like every arc and if we don't get a changeup it'll get expected and somewhat boring, not that it hasn't already started to get there. I predicted this like as soon as he was hit with the bath. The purpose of Sanji taking over the fight is simple and very meaningful. In fact, Sanji said it directly: "There are things we can and can't do. Let me do what I can do, and you do what I can't do [save Robin]". The fact that Usopp haters in this thread are complaining and wishing death upon him shows me that they clearly aren't watching the same anime as me, something I had predicted in the past. They, like Usopp, feel like he's useless when in reality he's anything but, and I can only hope that Sanji will show Usopp the value he has to the crew as well as his haters. Without Usopp, Nami would be dead. Robin would have been crushed as an ice sculpture and perhaps not unfrozen. Nami wouldn't even be able to fight. The Going Merry would have been gone a long time ago. They wouldn't even have a ship. He may not be a fighter, but to wish death on him because he's not a fighter to the tier of Zoro and Sanji and Luffy makes me think that Usopp haters all want the anime to only be tough lads who beat each other by using raw strength and it's just shocking. I wanted to voice my dissatisfaction with Usopp criticism because I feel like this episode was directly addressing this issue and the point of it was to show Usopp, and in turn these people who don't get it either, that you don't' need to win fights yourself to be meaningful and save the crew in your ways. Usopp is brave and he's done so much for the crew and he's been unable to recognize how much he's grown strength wise and courage wise because of how much everyone else has too, so I hope Sanji's point of taking over the Jabra right really rings true to him. And yes, he's in my top two One Piece characters easily, only surpassed by Luffy! Some last points: Even thought the Lucci fight looks awful everything else is okay to great especially the Sanji kick. And I LOVED Zoro's smirk with Sanji came to save the day. There's definitely a bromance between them even if they don't want to admit it in their actions like Luffy and Zoro do. :) |

And yes, he's in my top two One Piece characters easily, only surpassed by Luffy! There are so many great points here, I can't help but agree with them all. Honestly, while watching Jabra vs Usopp I had the feeling like Jabra represented these same haters of Usopp's character: as Jabra says a lot of the same points. Jabra called him useless, stupid, and only capable while in the hands of Zoro. However, when Sanji came in he said what both I and some others have also been thinking: that Usopp just has strength in different places, and he just needs to do what others can't do. While some people say he hasn't changed, I've definitely noticed a difference in Usopp's fears. Though he hid with Nami, and is clearly above hesitant to enter combat, his legs don't tremble like they used to, and he's still willing to step up as much as he can. However, he's still not using his sniping capabilities to their full potential, and hopefully he will do so in future. Like someone else said, he gave his all against Luffy, so if he just invests time into preparing for his fights and attacks from a distance, I'm sure we'll see some true power from him. |

| It's a bit concerning to see Lucci give Luffy a really tough time especially since he hasn't activated Leopard Form yet. He has yet to activate his Gears on the other hand so it's a bit comforting that he's not getting completely overwhelmed. The Gates of Justice have opened though... I was so relieved that Sanji was able to save Usopp from getting finished off at the last second! It's also great that he didn't hog all the spotlight and encouraged Usopp to help out in the fight by doing what he can. Even if the guy's not suited for close-ranged combat, that doesn't mean that he's weak, after all. The battleships are nearing and it's vital for everyone who aren't CP9 and the Straw Hats to get out of there as soon as possible. I wonder what those Vice Admirals would look like. |
 |
| It was pleasing to see Zoro grin when he saw Sanji appear at last! |
KoniginElleSep 17, 2020 10:30 AM
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Sanji's entrance is always top-tier. |
 |
| Well, I was wondering when would Sanji re-appear. |
 |
| Let's go SANJI!! |
 |
| SANJIIIII The battleships are coming closer with each second >.< |
 |
| It’s great to see Sanji back in action. LFG!! Even drunken Kokoro realises it’s time to get the hell out of Enies Lobby, whilst Chimney and Gonbe are as care free as usual xD |
| now that's how it should be.Sanji making a grand entry and you can feel the impending doom of Buster call.Luffy ,get into gear 2 for the love of god |
| my only wish remains that he'd said "I'm the cook" |
| Man this is just peak television. But our gang is running out of time. Sanji with an absolute incredible entrance and some amazing lines to Usopp. He low key maybe the best leader of the team. More than Zoro or Nami. I’m sure the next two episodes will be Zoro and sanji fights. It does fit good. The giraffe and wolf don’t like each other and sanji and Zoro have a rival. I bet like the game vs the foxy pirates it will come down to them working together. Lufy and Pidgen guy are so well matched. Luffy got to go a gear up to get past him and beat him. I assume they show this after the Zoro and sanji fights. I assume Usopp role will be to come up with a plan to help them escape. Thats my bet Also franky or someone really needs to kick ugly face leader. I can’t stand him. Grabbing Robin hair pissed me off so much. I legit wish the whole crew could just punch him. Just peak fiction we are seeing |
| God if there’s one thing I love about Sanji as a whole in One Piece is that he’s got probably the best entrances when it comes to fights in general. I mean he literally saved Sniper King/Usopp and Nami from Jabra and when it ultimately looked like the former was finished, Sanji comes and saves the day. He even imported some wise words to Sniper King telling him that he’s not useless and that he still has uses about him: “There are things we can and can’t do. Let me do what I can do and you do what I can’t.” As well his:”I’m the hunter.” line to Jabra which was badass as hell but then Sanji is always badass in any given fight. See people who hate Usopp? Even SANJI himself says to him that he’s not useless. Seriously why do people who hate Usopp harp on about the nonexistent fact that he doesn’t do anything when he does? I don’t know it’s just ridiculous but anyways that was a great entrance I feel. And Sanji’s fight with Jabra is just gonna be kick ass really in the next episode. Elsewhere Luffy is getting pretty run down by Lucci in question. Although I could argue in Luffy’s position, he’s trying not to fight Lucci completely but rather trying to reach Nico Robin but of course Lucci is proving to be a stronger obstacle obviously. Looks like Franky’s on his way to the same room that Luffy and Lucci are in so he should be meeting up with them soon. Now that Zorro is free from Sniper King, he can finally focus on Kaku and fight for real this time. So yeah the next couple of fights with Sanji and Zorro are gonna be awesome. I did get the feel that Kaku and Jabra are like Zorro and Sanji in a sense because they both don’t get along and they like to bicker with each other for over things plus they are pretty good matchups regardless. Otherwise a pretty good episode all around I’d say. |
