| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Joe's gotta get a grip already, can't even fight anymore. |
 |
| That was one hell of a depressing episode. I can't describe it properly |
| Holy shit Joe was ready to commit manslaughter, This was quite an intense episode. |
| Man, Joe is really out of it. Can't even beat two gangsters. |
| Welp, this ep was just downright depressing and I kinda got chills when Joe thought about murdering those guys. |
 |
| He couldn't even beat those guys. |
 |
| That's a tragic development. It seems like that out of guilt Joe lost his fighting spirit. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Joe remembering the past with Rikiishi, realizing how important he was to him, the only person that really treated Joe as someone normal, the closest to him, feels and more feels. |
 |
| He finally said it that he was more than father for him ;-; |
| This episode shad the light on how complex the rivalry between Joe and Rikiishi is. love and hate intertwined together, making it hard to define their relationship by using one word only. as a rival, Joe hates Rikiishi more than anything. but as a person, Rikiishi gave a meaning to Joe's life. so in a way, one can say that Joe love Rikiishi more than anything. that's magnificent writing, right there. Also, Osamu Dezaki did a remarkable job here, too. |

| Falling into a depression blaming himself for the death of Rikiishi, Joe, thinking that he must return to the streets, where he came from and where he should never leave... But that is not entirely true... Man, that scene when Joe says that Rikiishi was everything to him, and that it was like a father figure or an older brother, damn, the feelings hitting me again and with more power... Impressive the way they animated this episode to express perfectly to Joe. The song of Rikiishi continues giving chills. |
| poor Joe got the shit beaten out of him he can't even fight properly now |
 |
removed-user said: On the bright side, at least Joe got a free drink. I understand it was intended as a joke, but it would have been free if he had not been beat up afterwards Finally an episode without those annoying brats, and it just so happens to be one of the more decent ones |
   |
| Joe and Rikiishi's dynamic wasn't explored nearly as much as needed for me to find Joe's behavior in this episode to be believable. |
