Kyros past was pretty interesting and how he developed into the respectable toy soldier now

We get to see Kyros' past. Interesting that they faked Scarlet's death so she could be with Kyros.

That actually felt like a lot of content in one episode. Interesting Past.

Well, I thought that this episode was quite a bit better than the last one. The pacing was good for once, I guess that's how it goes with flashbacks. Multiple years in one episode isntead of like 30 seconds! However, some development seemed a bit difficult to believe - Scarlet falling in love with Kyros so suddenly and such things, the death faking thing and Kyros wanting to marry her like that... It just felt a bit too sudden and rushed to me, which I guess is the opposite extreme of my usual complaints about One Piece.

I can't help but feel that Kyros holding / hugging / something Rebecca without gloves is going to be some important and touching symbolic thing for their relationship, One Piece seems to enjoy doing things like that.

Finally, 3/5.

I loved this episode! Actually felt like we got a lot of stuff The whole love story felt a bit cliche and rushed.

So much hype for next episode with the rest of the flashback and the Usopp vs Trebol fight!!!

Good thing we're getting through this flash back fast. Hopefully they wrap it up next week and get back to business.

It's so sweet to see that Kyros has a soft side :D. And to the people who are bitching about the pacing of this anime, you can't say anything about this weeks episode.

i quite agree with the words said here. the pacing has felt slow as molasses fir quite some time. but this episode felt satisfying. it felt like their was enough content packed into 24 minutes that i was never bored. also as for the romance being to quick, i just assumed it started over many years. even the most devout person to trhinking someone is evil will give up in time when they never live up to their expectations. just my opinion though

They adapted less than a chapter this week again, but the content was really fast so it didn't feel like it.

Is there an episode next week or is it on break for Christmas?

One of the few backflashes that I found interesting. Really good.

I remember how much I loved this flashback in the manga and Toei didn't disappoint. Loved it all over again :D Kyros's past was so nice. Gotta love how he and Scarlet fell in love. Him being flustered all the time was lol XD Riku was quite a BA king ^^ His and Kyros's faces when Rebecca was born was hilarious hahaha

This episode covered part of a previous chapter, and a lot of the next one, so you could say that this episode was a full chapter in length.

Kyros is a monster!

Beautiful episode, gorgeous art, good animation - One Piece never dissappoints in doing a great and emotional flashback.

Even with covering a small part of manga chapters, things can work if they keep this up

So Kyros was 25 and Scarlet 15 when they married? That's illegal, you know XD
And I can't understand why Kyros and Scarlet both look like in their twenties when they're supposed to be 15 o.O

You just can't hide the fact that Scarlet was 16 and pregnant? ik she was 15 but I took the count that time flew by before getting married and pregnant 1yr ain't that big. This is anime afterall ~(O_O)~ wot?

Well it was an episode full of content on whos who in the riku family. The "Queen" had very nice red hair, which can't be really seen in the manga which is black and white.

5/5 as always OP is too damn great

Oh this was better than I expected. Kyros is an interesting character and the story is finally fitting together. The Punk Hazard arc was really bad ass, but Dressrosa might just top it.

This episode is MUCH BETTER than 674. Episode 674 made me angry towards Usopp because he's such a wimp.
It was really nice to see Kyros and his past. It's sad that Scarlet died :(.

GETTING HYPED FOR NEXT EPISODE. The Title says something like "Legendary Hero Usopp dies?!" OMG I wanna see Usopp fight, because when he does, it's badass.

Wow! that was a great backstory of Kyros but think about this... he was 25 and Scarlet was 15. I understand there's a 10 year age gap and that's fine but why 15? They could've been 30 and 20. I don't know but I think when I reach 25, I wouldn't feel anything for a 15 year old brat unless she's got a sexy body of someone in her 20's. But it's still a very interesting backstory.

Facepalm. You people do realize that not every place is Murica right? Hell even there some states have 16 as legal age. 15 or 16 isn't pedo at all, is quite normal biologically. If the law said you have to be 30 to have legal sex it wouldn't make fucking a 22 year old pedo and the same goes with a 15-16 year old. The law and science aren't always in agreement.

This conversation should not even exist because she had 19 years when she had Rebecca!
Kyros right now has 44 years. Rebecca has 16. Scarlet is 9 years younger than Kyros. So if she was still alive she would have 35 years. And so she had 19 years when she had her.
Also Viola/Violet has 29 years now. She is 6 years younger than Scarlet, so that give 35 years of scarlet currently. Again 35 - 16 = 19.

People count the time she was saved by Kyros as the time she faked her death and went away with him, but in the story was explicitly shown that time was passing(by the seasons passing) in a faster way and impossible to determine.

Kyros's life story, cliche but interesting still. She abdicated, he resigned, she was pronounced dead, they got married, Rebecca was born and the rest was history.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

I just loved this episode, because let me tell you I am a sucker for sassy women and dorky, big lugs like Kyros.
he actually reminds me of Zoro somewhat...only useful at fighting lol

So sad that we know how it all turns out :/
I'm guessing that he goes back to the palace, only to get turned into a toy by Sugar, and then hurries to protect Rebecca and Scarlet as Soldier-san.
