Luffy and Bonney hitting that double Nika pose. She really deserved to have her Saturn violating moment. Build up and pay off have been phenomenal.

The last couple of episodes have been on speedrunning mode by One Piece standards. We're almost done with the arc now. Next episode gonna adapt some epic pages.

I still can't believe how far Kuma's come since Thriller Bark. dude went from mystery man to one of the most emotional, well-written characters in the whole damn series. Egghead arc is straight heat .

Bonney and Luffy teaming up to smack Saturn? Peak anime moment. That scene had me tearing up fr, felt like Oda was channeling some Toriyama energy with that Father-Son Kamehameha vibe.

Luffy and Bonney in Nika form defeat Saturn with Liberating Nika Punches, sending Saturn into the sea in pieces. Atlas sacrifices herself by self-destructing and stalls Nusjuro for the Straw Hats to escape, another really sad and emotional scene. Emet defends Luffy from the other two Elders, while he and Luffy talk through the Voice of All Things. Luffy still doesn't know he is Joyboy, and Emet mistakes him with the original Joyboy. The episode once again has incredible animation and buildup, all the emotions and pain from Bonney. She has suffered through the sapphire scales, losing her mother, and her father being enslaved and robbed of his free will, all because of Saturn's doing.This really fires up Bonney, giving her the willpower to stand up and transform again. Another tear-jerking scene of this episode. Luffy and Bonney team up and give Saturn a deserved and satisfying beatdown.

Now that’s a payoff and a half! I’m not fully on board with the nika concept mastered by Bonnie and whatnot, but this has been making for a long while. Bonnie’s final punch to finish off the Saturn threat while Luffy provides the necessary support to ensure she isn’t affected by the Elder’s attacks.

Iron giant’s time to shine next ep? As an anime-only, I’ve next to zero clues what that could be exactly, lol. No mention of Ermet just yet.

Bonney disrespecting the absolute shit out of Saturn has been long overdue, I'm glad she got her moment. What an arc this has been, I fucking love this series so much.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Firstly, we get a look into the past, 26 years ago in which Clou D. Clover asks Vegapunk for his assistance in researching the Void Century. Vegapunk denies his request given at the time, he’s a Government scientist, and Clover is inspired because his brother was killed just for having the Will of D, and at the time, he had to lie and pretend he was just a friend. 4 years after that is when the attack on Ohara occurred.

All of a sudden, Atlas flies up and knocks Lilith out with one punch. We get to see Emet in action, and he tries to refer to Luffy as Joyboy, but for obvious reasons, Luffy has no clue who he’s talking to. Emet agrees to buy time to allow Luffy and the others to escape and because Emet is still standing, so is the live broadcast. Emet tries to do a powerful beam attack of some sort, but since it’s been 900 years, his body isn’t up for it, and Shephard takes out his left arm.

Atlas ends up sacrificing herself to allow the Thousand Sunny to use Coup De Burst, and rather than going out in a whimper, she goes out in a BANG and blows herself up. Now it’s just up to the Sunny to make it out to sea. Before she did this, Atlas shut off Lilith’s connection to Punk Records. Given that she asked the Straw Hats to take care of her, I’m assuming that Lilith is still alive, but she simply doesn’t have access to what’s inside of Punk Records.

Lastly, we got Bonney defending the legacy of Kuma the Buccaneer and Ginny the Revolutionary. St. Saturn wants to target her, and Bonney is about to unleash all her pent up aggression. Luffy, being the badass that he is, backs her up and prevents St. Saturn from interrupting her transformation. She grows into her adult form, turns white, and gets into Distorted Future: Future Where I’m the Most Free in which she has her own version of Fifth Gear, inspired by Luffy. Luffy clears a path, while Bonney charges straight at St. Saturn to deliver the final blow, the one to end this attack on her family, Liberation: Nika Punch! Luffy backs her up with his Gum Gum Elephant Gatling and they tear through St. Saturn, literally, with pieces of him falling into the sea. He’s finally defeated, and in the end, we see Kuma smiling, despite his vegetative state. Despite that, his instincts can’t help but acknowledge utter badassery!

“Directed by Nozomu Shishido”

#1089 #1100 #1115 #1128 and his last one, #1152. All episodes were strong in every sense. He was one of the names that shone brightest within the One Piece staff during the arc.
It's a very strong five-episode run, something a director rarely manages to pull off. He joined the staff after Ryosuke Tanaka left and has become one of, if not the best, directors currently on staff.

What a great Episode, even more epic than the last one.
That Liberation Nika Punch was so AMAZING to see!! Finally Bonney can be free and got the revenge she wanted for so long.. I'm sure her dad and mom are so proud of her.
And the most important theme in this series: The Void Century are more and more revealed, as well as those with the D.!!

As a manga reader and now watching this episode, honestly I enjoyed the episode overall, until Boney easily copied Luffy's Nika mode again.
For whatever reason, Boney’s plotline with a Devil Fruit that can copy Nika mode is the trashiest plot ever.

The anime only scenes make me think I have a really bad memory or just wasn't paying attention to this entire arc.
One thing that's consistent is that I want York to die in the most painful way.
'Robo having to tell Luffy he was talking to him was funny. Our boy is so dense.
Nika punch turned St. Saturn into swiss cheese. It made me happy.

the way one piece keeps outdoing seasonal anime week after week is insane. the animation and the lighting was on another level, nobody else is doing it like this. the staff deserves it all for their amazing work here. i mean, i never expected bonney of all people to have one of, if not, the best looking transformation sequence ever. all while making saturn look amazing too. there will be a lot of rewatches of this.

Wow, this animation is phenomenal, another absolute banger of an episode! They added a cut of Luffy and Bonney in Gear 5 in the opening sequence. Clover is a D, and he asked Vegapunk to help him research the Void Century, but Vegapunk refused. Obviously, now Vegapunk is doing the research. They even added a scene of Bonney living together with her parents, Kuma and Ginny, adding so much emotion to her Liberation Nika Punch that defeats Saturn alongside Luffy. I can't believe I cried watching this entire episode. Toei adapted 28 pages of the manga this time, such great pacing.

Loved the episode. Bonney going Nika was perfectly animated. That satisfying Liberation Nika Punch as Luffy fires Gatling at Saturn’s legs, giving Bonney the clean shot to smash his face without worrying about those freaky legs. I hope he FREAKING SINKS and suffocates. Into the sea with him, done for good.

“Directed by Nozomu Shishido”

#1089 #1100 #1115 #1128 and his last one, #1152. All episodes were strong in every sense. He was one of the names that shone brightest within the One Piece staff during the arc.
It's a very strong five-episode run, something a director rarely manages to pull off. He joined the staff after Ryosuke Tanaka left and has become one of, if not the best, directors currently on staff.

@A_Shinoda OMG, it was Nozomu Shishido who directed this marvelous episode. That explains why this episode was absolute cinema. 😭

One Piece has been going crazy with these last episodes for Egghead—many frames in episode 1152 feature top-quality art. I truly appreciate that they used a couple of OSTs that they haven't used in the anime in ages. It was truly a surprise to listen to "Overtaken" OST again, and it was used in the best possible moment when Bonney was going to transform with Distorted Future to become Gear 5 again.

I don't know if somebody has answered this before, which has been bugging me, or if it's never been answered in the series yet. Garp is a Navy Vice Admiral with the name of D, but the Navy, especially the World Government, seems pretty chill on keeping him around the Marines. Why is the World Government not hunting down Garp after all these years? However, the World Government has been executing people who bear the name of D, just like Clover's older brother. Clover would have been killed on the spot, too, if he accidentally revealed that he was related by blood to the man whom the CP agents had shot down.

And then the crazy oddball who continued Clover's research was none other than Vegapunk himself!

F*ck Saturn, and I despise him so much! Really hate how that old fart was so persistent that he even managed to climb aboard the Great Erik to hunt down Bonney and Kuma. The Liberation Nika Punch from Joygirl Bonney was the cherry on top, as it was such a cathartic moment to see her punch the living daylights out of Saturn after what her parents had been through because of all the hellish torment from that old bastard! Saturn never realized that doing all those inhumane experiments on Bonney as an infant would soon come back to sabotage him in the end, as it was Bonney's Gear 5 form that defeated him for good. Into Swiss cheese, even!

Atlas, nooooo! Dangit! Poor girl. :( But, when you think about it, if Nusjuro had been smarter and faster, he could have knocked out the Strawhats from the Sunny. At least it's all good that they've managed to escape Nusjuro, despite his speed.

I hate York too! Why did she have to be such a tall baddie? Ugh.

Episode 1152 was phenomenal. Some of the reactors I watched who have also been watching this episode were emotional from witnessing Bonney and Luffy ultimately defeating Saturn. And lastly, Kuma had a faint smile on his face at the end. :')

05:46 Bro grew hair and changed it's color.
11:15 told you, I literally called it last episode, all the punks are gonna die, except York and Lilith. 12:40 Saw the Kamikaze coming a mile away.
Awesome Episode. It was always close between Sogeking and Kuma for me who my favorite character is. But considering how dirty they've been doing Usopp recently (he better get some good moments in Elbaf is all I'm saying) And how this Arc has literally been all about Kuma, he has at the moment really solidified his Number 1 spot for me.

(also I get that she has an adult body but yall simping over a child this hard is a little messed up, Kuma will personally yeet your ass, like yeah sure she's been one of my favorites as well since she was introduced, but once you know she's a child, I think it's fine to calm down a bit EVEN SANJI has more decency and is less horny than some of yall, like the moment he knew she was a child bro switched up.)

@_MushiRock11_ I happen to see it as an awakening of her fruit; the age age fruit can make someone old or young, but when awakened can imitate giants with distortion future and nika with the 'future when im the most free'.
Will she actually be like that in the future? No, but she can see herself like her father or her hero.
