----------------------------------------
Tragic backstory for Law. Rocinante's sacrifice was really tearful. Soundtrack added a new depth to it which made it better than the manga. We also see X Drake be saved too which is what let Law get away since they thought it was him. I don't care what anyone says the Nagi Nagi no Mi (Calm) Fruit is an awesome one

Dammit, i read the manga but the feels are still there!
Also, Oda has found a way to justify every fucking lucky break and plot armor: Will of D.

Despite reading the manga and knowing what was going to happen, this episode was still extremely sad. Nearly dying on multiple occasions and then having someone who was like a father figure die without being able to do anything. No kid should have to go through that.

Finally getting back to present next episode.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

I swear Oda looks at his manga each day and goes "How much of a messed up backstory can I give this character?" He always seems to outdo himself with each one, and that's not necessarily a compliment. That goes loves giving us the tragic heartbreak feels.
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

That last scene where Law's sobbing can finally be heard was really sad and poetic... it was beautiful and tragic.
I loved this episode. They made great use of the soundtrack and it was mostly decently animated.
I'm sad the flashback is over... I hope the animation and the pacing will keep being like this. It's gotten better over the past few episodes.
Anyway, that was awesome and I love OP bye :v

This has to be one of the best episode of the whole Dressrosa arc and the way it was executed with the soundtrack, the voice acting, the animation and the FEELS OMG I don't think i've ever cried that much for a long time and the ending was just PERFECT........props to Toei for totally nailing this................RIP Rocinante you'll always be in our heart forever

I cried as much as Law did.
Everything was beautifully executed resulting in a tragic masterpiece.
The soundtrack, the calm last word of Corazon which totally goes with his calm power/personalty.
His pride as a marine, his inability to shoot at his own brother, his will to survive as long as possible to keep protecting Law.
And him proving how powerful his devil fruit was.

And the best part of all, was the quiet suffering of Law. That just shuttered my heart.
Ending it by finally hearing the sobbing, the cries, announcing the death of an amazing man.

I LOVED THIS EPISODE

God, how much more of a fucking badass could they have made Corazon? Some people complain that "nobody ever dies" in One Piece, but they keep introducing these amazing characters that we easily fall in love with only to see die and make us sad they went so soon after they captured our hearts with the small amount of screen time they had.

This episode also had one of the best One Piece OSTs, too. How they concealed Law's crying with silence until they could finally be heard after Corazon died was great.

One of the most well adapted and said storyline/episode of one piece recently. Previously was the reveal of Sabo but this recent one just did a one up. 6/5!

The best episode in quite a long while.
The voice acting and the sound direction were lovely and it made it all more heartbreaking.

The new ost at the end was pretty amazing, made the death scene very emotional, overall the anime did solid on this flashback, hopefully it will deliver on the upcoming fights.

That is why One Piece is in my opinion one of the best long running manga & anime that is currently running... And that is coming from a huge DBZ, Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail fan. Oda-Sensei is great at storytelling, he always have a plan every character that appears in OnePiece is important (you never know when he or she might appear again in the later chapters also he always leave you hints for upcoming events, etc.) character growth not only good guys even the bad guys have characters growth that means there are not there to be defeated and then disposed (never see them again) like I said he always have a plan for every character, and that is very rare for a long running anime because of that it never loses his steam. I hope he keep doing great...

I haven't cried in a long time watching an anime. This episode is so sad and has all the right feels even if we already know that Corazon will die. Just can't stop the tears from falling when Corazon said that he will not die yet until Law escaped. And poor Law... i wanna hug him.

Damn Doffy's so cruel... I like it! But I'll like it even more when I see his mangled face after Luffy beats the shit out of him. He probably won't die though because Oda's lenient and all that.

Really loved this episode, in all i think this has been one of the best back stories so far. can't wait to see what happens next...i stopped reading just before this flashback so this is all new to me.

I can't remember what x-drakes ability is, but sounds like he is pretty strong.

He turns into a Ancient Dinosaur, (looks like a small green t-rex) actual species is theropoda. He owns the Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit.


That's not all of his power, I'm sure, he's a weapon user and such.
