| Firstly, very funny to see some of Akazaya Nine's faces when hearing that Hiyori is alive . Makes me wonder why the mouth is always big and open in these situations. Ashura was the only one who had Zoro's expression on his face and is like what the hell is wrong with these guys. LOL. Secondly, interesting to see the power of Zoro's new sword, Enma. It's really a powerful sword. Cursed, and you need to have a strong mind and body to be able to yield it. Zoro's haki aurora was interesting to see, and especially it's power. Also, Sanji's reaction was priceless. The poor man is almost always excluded from the fun (ladies). Next, seem like Luffy has almost mastered Ryou. After a couple of years into the series, he will probably have mastered almost every technique Rayleigh has showed him. I bet many more interesting techniques are stored for us. Also, nice that the walk of Ahura and the rest of the gang. . They made it more epic than what it actually was. Lastly, about time we are finished with Part 2 of the Wano Arc. If I am not wrong there is only 1 part left. Next time we will see more of the events in other places in the world. And yippy, we are up to 1k chapter in the manga. Not far from being at the 1k ep. I can't wait. :D |

ManWild said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- And with that, Act 2 has come to a close. This was an amazing episode and the soundtrack at the end was really good. Some highlights from the episode included: Zoro's enma, the end of act 2 (obviously) and when they did the count for Kaido's numbers it's insane how they didn't even include Big mom within the 30,000. The 1000th manga chapter advertisement and the end card after the "to be continued" was adorable. I wasn't expecting them to shout out the manga directly like that but I loved it. I got really hype just from seeing the next episode preview. I can't wait for next week Edit: The Anime will be on break next week due to the New Years holidays so episode 957 will be airing on January 10th Thanks for informing me. Well, if it wasn't out I would probably figure that out myself. :P But thanks for making me save some time. xD |

Actually people think that, but I garuntee this arc will probably be comprised of 5 acts in total. With Act 3 currently still going in the manga, it looks like its nearly at its end and yet so many things have not happened yet in the story. Not to mention oda actually layed a few details about 2021 in regards to one piece and said the wano will soon be enterting the climax and also i believe In chapter 992 or so, on the cover page it said "wano is now heading towards the climax". So in true Kabuki Play fashion i believe act 3 will end probably in a few more chapters and act 4 will be considered the (Climax) of the arc with act 5 being the sort of small tie-in and epilogue to the final saga of the story and probably the size of act 1. There is still lots of wano left to go but from act 3 onwards, things really start to hit a very high note in both story telling and action piece moments so prepare your self. |

| Very great way to end act 2, loved Zoro moments with Enma, they were done as great as in the manga plus all the extra small things that weren't shown in the manga appeared here. |
| Seems like we definitely have a traitor now. I don't know who it might be, but I've always had a real bad feeling about Kin'emon, which for some reason just got worse and worse these past few episodes. He really gives off a villain mastermind vibe tbh |
| IDK, man, Kawamatsu is quickly rising up the ranks of my favorite non-Mugiwara no Ichimi characters in the anime. Yes, he's been built up for quite a few eps and he's def kewl now that we see what he can do, but for me it's mostly the voice. For some reason, it's so relaxing. Go figure. |
| Things are about to get insane!!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| ENMA IS SO OP THE FUCK |
 |
| Orochi finding out the plan is really sus, but well of course they hear it if he has 10k people. no wonder if he has spies everywhere in the 4200 samurai, but still a bummer. Enma looks like a really great sword manga readers, need to know why they insisted on having Shusui back? great act definitely one of my fav acts in One Piece. |

Since I am only watching the anime and I saw only 3 acts on Wikia, I thought that was the last act. Looks like that wasn't the case. |

| So Luffy gains a new haki powerup, Zoro gets a new powerful sword and Sanji... has his superhero costume I guess? Sanji definitely isn't strong enough anymore to keep up with Luffy and Zoro. What's up with that preview though, so many characters making an appearance next episode :O |
| This ep is completely fantastic and hype-inducing in every way possible. Everyone has finally gathered back in Amigasa village before they went their separate ways yet again. I always love seeing Zoro and Momo train near each other, despite not being teacher and student, I still felt some resemblance of such relationship going on between them. Maybe it's more of a senior and junior relationship. It's wholesome to see Momo thanking Zoro for taking care of Hiyori thus far. And now for some epic-orgasm moment. ENMA!!! Zoro's new sword since the timeskip, since thriller bark where he got Shusui from Ryuuma. One of the 2 katana that Oden used to leave a scar of Kaido's scales, one of the 21 O Wazamono blades. A blade that sucks out the wielder's haki and one that cuts a whole damn cliff with ease despite it being a casual damn swing. I love how the anime improves on the manga's version of when Zoro cut off that cliff, all the visual effects enhances that incredible atmosphere even more than it did, truly a moment to remember. Besides swords cutting things, swords being made was also discussed. I find it uniquely intriguing back then and now again when I found out that both Wado Ichimonji and Enma are made by the same guy; Shimotsuki Kozaburo, who basically created Shimotsuki village, the village Zoro originated from. And also ofc, Hitetsu being the swordsmith of Sandai Kitetsu. The 3 kitetsu seems to not be made by the same person. And so, act 2 ended with the Akazaya samurai parting off before after saying their farewell to Luffy and the others while everyone else is preparing. Luffy finally mastered advanced armament haki, a perfect ability to complement his advanced kenbunshoku haki. And ofc as aways... Some lovely shamisen played by Hiyori as the segue to end the act! Chapter 1000 was the last ch of 2020 and it is one of the greatest ch of One Piece ever! |
  |
| So that's that. I know for a fact that the big fight is still ways off. But well, act 2 is done and Luffy looks like he has mastered that new haki technique. |
 |
| I haven’t watched One Piece in a while, so this episode wasn’t that slow, but it was good to refresh what happened and that the festival is about to begin. That sword is cool, Zoro using it is going to be unstoppable. |
 |
| Act 2 completed Lots of things happened in this act and was a great buildup for the next one Enma looks strong And someone is releasing information to Orochi -_- The Wano theme get's me hyped each time :D |
| Act 2 came to an end and the Straw Hats are on the move as well. Everything's ready and everyone's ready to roll. |
 |
| Momonosukes thought of Hiyori dropkicking him as an adult though xD but when he turned into a dragon I don't see him with any limbs Also, new soundtrack? And I really didn't like the part that Zoro had to go shirtless The countdown of days until the raid happens so rapidly fast Love those hats that Tama made The idea from Orobi was great, building better tombs |
| August 6th 2023: Biggest upset ever, deception, selfishness, or scammed, manipulated. Heavy damage costs, and more. Days since: 15 Last updated: 8/21/2023 One Piece Episode 1041 & 1042 & 1047 & 1048 & 95.75%/1049 & 1053 were a mistake and Uta brought the salvation -AhriTheS3xyFox |
| Damn is the battle really gonna start? lol |
 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. |
| Zoro cut a whole cliff but it doesn’t feel right that he had to part ways with his sword in exchange for Oden’s sword but it is op tho and also at the end there was a small segment celebrating the 1000th One Piece chapter and that was cool |
 |
| Act II was soo good. Overall the quality of Wano in the anime is outstanding. I really wish the last few hundreds of episodes would have had this level. Would probably bring the anime to a 10/10 for me personally. Nevertheless, I am extremely hyped for the main arc of Wano taking place. As I watch the german dub I won't have to wait that long, since the next bunch of episodes will air in Winter! Also goddamn am I the only one that just wants a bit of Zoro backstory and his origin? Does not have to be as elaborated as Sanji, but a few details would be so cool. |
| Damm, Zoro and Luffy did it, managed to forge the skills. |
| Truly loving this series. only started May 2024. Was hooked immediately. Act 2 had so many highs and lows and reveals! Took a small break, now ready to dive right back in for Act 3! |
