 |
| ya that stupid awakening part was too long but it was a great episode |
     |
| A bit slow, but it was pretty good. |
     |
| Sure, it was a bit long with the awakening, but still very good. I'm looking forward to Brook's fight. |

| Hmm...the awakening wasn't that bad. I was more frustrated with the part of the zombies chasing Usopp and Chopper around. That was a little exaggerated. But yeah, in all, episode did have the dragged on feeling. No matter. It's bound to happen every now and then. But we're getting to the really good parts now. So its okay. :) |
| wont the pirates whom shadows have returned come to the island to fight moria? |

 |
| Finally caught up! :D This episode was a bit boring. But I'm really looking forward to the next one, can't wait to see Brook against his shadow, and I'm almost certain that Oz will try to be the Kaizoku no Ou =P |
| PLEASE, if you want to spoill about the manga, PUT SPOILERS TAG!!! Grrrrr, i almost got spoiled. Anyway, good episode, i finally caught up with the Anime, it was hard to me, im liking it :) |
 |
| After the long awakening sequence, Oz has one word to say. MEAT!!!! I had a hunch he'd say something funny like that. Lets see how easy he is to control ;) |
| Well, even Oz is still like Luffy. Didn't expect any less. x] |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Funny thing is I expected Luffy to say Meat when he awoke as Oz! Was so epic when he actually said that, I burst out laughing! |
| The actual episode started in the SEVEN MINUTE mark. I think that even for a shounen, that's overkill. |
 |
| Ah poor Usopp tried to be a man, youll get him next time Sogeking. |
| "MEEAAAAAAATTTT!!!! SANJI, MAKE ME SOMETHiNG!! Wait, Sanji? Who's that?" |

| Oz looks real menacing! I just get the feeling luffy's shadow can overpower it LOL A nice mini reunion with frank and usopp group! Things should start rolling again now :-) |
   |
| Robin <3 |
 |
| honestly, nami, usopp and chopper are really grating on my nerves. i did not see all three of them grow in strength and kick marine ass only to bawl and wail all over my screen for like 7 episodes straight. after everything they've been through, usopp and nami take out their weapon like twice and chopper doesn't transform and fight. whatever. let me watch the five stronger guys who aren't annoying, then. edit: forgot to mention that luffy is the greatest, no matter in what body. |
| fuck usopp. i wont forgive him for when he bitched and moaned about getting rid of merry |
 |
| It went in. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The first thing the zombie yells is NIKU lmao. OMG he yelled for Sanji out of instinct XD how adorable. |
 |
| my favorite part of this had to be when Franky called usopp and chopper "otouto" which means younger brother and chopper called franky "aniki" which means older brother... SO FREAKING CUTE. <3 I just love the bonds these guys have! Best part of the show. |

So cute :3 :3 :3 Franky is such a sweet guy!!! And then Robin smiled oh!!! Those two are like parents :3 I am a little bit overexcited :D |

| Oars! |

| What's with these intros? This one was like 1/4 the episode. |
| I like Hentai, you like real life. Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me. |
| It shouldn't be difficult to make oars eat that salt, robin can easily do that. |
 |
| brook getting scared like that wh000t. but i am asking myself if his sword is made out of some strange material |
 |
| Wow that has to be the longest walk along the chains then waiting for Oars to move sequence ever. It dulled the impact for me But yay Robin and Franky to the rescue!! Love these two!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I said that I loved this arc before, but this was when they were kicking their butts. Now I hate it. I knew what would be the first word of this giant zombie but I missed by a nick. I expected he would say food not meet. He did say food afterwards. This Moria is gonna regret it. Franky calling Usopp and Chopper little brothers was cute. Chopper calling him aniki was even cuter. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| The recap made me realize Franky probably asked Brook what the promise he made to his deceased crew was. It must be something truly admirable! We had an interesting piece of dialogue. The shadow who is in Cindry's body was probably one of the first zombies made because Hogback mentioned they didn't make her shadow pledge to forget everything first. Perhaps upon creating a disobedient zombie in Cindry, Hogback and Moria realized they needed to completely wipe the memories(obviously hatred of plates isn't an innate trait to one's character). When Oars woke up with Luffy's soul and it's first words mentioned meat and Sanji I knew my and many others predictions were so right. Luffy's almost defined by his love of food, adventure, and his nakama. So, to have the zombies first words mention two of those things means Moria is going to have a very hard time controlling him. I do have to admit this scene went on SO LONG though, jeez. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji don't know anything about the marios and the shadow stealing apart from the fact that they got their shadows stolen. Robin and Franky learned everything from Brook. This makes Chopper slowly learning about what Hogback's done through Cindry's room and seeing the whole process quite meaningful. It was important for Chopper to see everything for himself, or else he wouldn't believe it. When he was finally forced to confront what Hogback's done, seeing that Hogback was an idol of his, he was filled with disgust and anger in a way we hardly ever if not ever have seen before. I hope Chopper gets to fight Hogback. That said, his love for Cindry with his stalker Cindry room makes me think in the end he's going to be sympathetic. I was thinking about Thriller Bark and the general zombies and such. Those general zombies shadows mean that the warriors who are in their bodies are alive and shadowless out there. It also means that they aren't the ancient warriors themselves but good warriors put inside the bodies of ancient warriors. Right? It's somewhat confusing. What's also fascinating is the old shadowless men of the island that we've seen, one of which asked Luffy for help, must be pirates who were caught and had their shadows taken but ended up not being tossed out of the island, they are probably in hiding. I bet some of the basic zombies are most likely the shadows of some of the old dudes who asked for help. My personal favorite scene though was when Absalom set both Usopp and Chopper on fire. The way the music cut and the way the scene was drawn were really special and intense. Absalom's power is still super confusing but I suppose by the time we see a fight with him it will all make sense. The thing I loved most was how Usopp had no hesitation at all. He stood. He pulled his Kabuto out in pieces(showing how he keeps it on him at all times), put it together, and dropped a line about as cool as it was similar to the one Ace dropped in the Black Beard fight! And like everyone else, I adored the line from Franky, "You'd better get your hands off my sworn little brothers, punks"! I had to watch it a few times. Franky is a man all about family. Perhaps the Straw Hats are already becoming additions to the Franky family, hmm. Chopper's already accepted it! "ANIKI!!!" The way he grabbed zombies by the throat and dropped salt into their mouths forcefully was so Franky and I loved how brutal it was. A user @marywhistley brought up the comparison of Robin and Franky as parents to the Straw Hats and... that is the perfect way to explain why their relationship is so fun to watch!!! I wrote way more than I would have expected to write for this episode...

This is an interesting post so I hope you don't mind the quote as this is a reply to a post made in 2012. Chopper is strong but his character flaw is lack of confidence in himself. Up until this point in the series, he never believes he can keep up with the crew. From the beginning, it's been this way. Despite being one of the most capable members he gets nervous, scared, and admires the "fighters" of the crew not even characterizing himself as one. All of his fights have been when he was pushed to the limit for his friends or values or when he was forced to fight. In Skypiea he tried so hard to protect their ship from the fire because it was his job and his time to prove he could keep up with the crew and give back to them. When he fought Kumadori he was in a position where he had to fight with his life on the line to save Robin and in turn too save himself. Usopp too isn't unlike this. He is inherently cowardly and avoidant of confrontation and it is only when his ideal and dream of being a brave warrior are put on the line where he stands up for what he believes in. We saw a case in this very episode as I mentioned above. Unless he's put in a test of his brave warrior dream his first instinct is to avoid combat. Further, Nami only really fights when she's emotional and angry and she has to, other than those moments she avoids all combat and this makes her the most pacifistic of the crew. For these reasons, I see what the coward trio has done as completely fine. |
Both of them are standing strong against an enemy that is supposedly much stronger than them, refusing to bend their values. It was a scene that I loved because it shows just how fearless Usopp can be sometimes. He didn't even have to think about it. He just acted. To me, Usopp has already accomplished his dream, but I suppose the beauty of such a dream is it can go on forever as a constant journey of self betterment.
| It looks like Oars inherited Luffy's appetite so I hope that all the meat in there's salted lmao Zombie Hunter Robin and Cyborg Franky's finally come to save the day and it's probably because I've only just really noticed it when she straight up shouted it out but Robin calling Chopper and Usopp by their names when they found them instead of "Long Nose" and "Doctor" was really sweet~ Franky calling the two his lil' brothers was absolutely adorable too. Nami's still in Absalom's clutches and Brook's about to face off against the fiend with his shadow. |
 |
| I knew Oars's first words were gonna be about wanting food! Also, Chopper is catching on to Sniper King's real identity! |
 |
| His first words were 'Meat'. Yep.. That's Luffy. |
 |
| Yay! Robin and Franky to the rescue! |
| Franky and Robin save the day 🔥 |
 |
| Robin's devil fruit is really good for putting salt into the zombies' mouths :DDD |
 |
| They arrived just in time! I'm not worried much about Nami though. I'm sure Absalom won't hurt his bride. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| LMAO at Chopper wondering why Usopp has the Sogeking weapon |
| bonjour |
| NIIIIIKUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!! SAAAANJIIIIII.... MEEEEESHIIIIIIIIII!!!! iconic man simply iconic |
| Nah, I can't even imagine the devious things Absalom is gonna do to Nami. |
