I liked it because the episode shows that Big Mom creates a new cloud of lightning and attacks Kidd and Killer and Hawkins appears and Killer decides to fight him and Luffy awakens the king's armor

Goosebumps & Tears, this was too beautiful I even cried.
The Animation and Direction was Roof Piece like none other!

Thankfully we getting Glimpses of "Film Red" related stories in the next few Episodes, especially since no one knows when will the Movie reach Foreign Cinemas.

EXCITED!!!

I legitimately don't know why Toei chose that golden color for Advanced Conqueror's Haki when they had already settled on the black color effect before when they showed Roger and Whitebeard clash. The yellowish/golden colors are just distracting and were honestly kinda blinding in this episode.

Also something I thought about earlier, but Zoro used his best technique against Kaido in the previous episode which also involved infusing his Conqueror's Haki into his swords including one of Oden's, yet he didn't manage to make Kaido fall. Meanwhile Luffy infused his Conqueror's Haki into his punches and was able to knock Kaido flat on his back. So basically Luffy's Haki > Zoro and Oden's Haki. And yet some people will continue to hype up Zoro despite his rather poor showing lol.

Good ep but way too much effect and aura that takes up too much space, too bad because it was very well animated but it's ruined by the effects.

Not sure how people call this one of the best directed and animated episode. Only the last 7 minutes were animated well. The rest was full of flashbacks, very slow paced moments (espically Big Mom/Kid). But, it did set up some great 1v1's which is nice. The flower blooming were a huge part of Luffy's Haki. It probably represents his powers "blossoming" to the next level. Gotta cut out the flashbacks in the last fight and it's hands down on pair with the 15' fight.

Kaido dares Luffy to kick his ass for some stupid reason! KAIDO YOU ARE TALKING TO NONE OTHER THAN MONKEY D. LUFFY, AKA STRAW HAT LUFFY, AKA THE FIFTH EMPEROR, AKA THE NEXT KING OF THE PIRATES! I KEEP TELLING YOU TO SHOW UP YOUR UTMOST RESPECT YOU IGNORAMUS!

Big Mom finishes creating a new thundercloud with her Soul Soul powers and decides to get revenge on Kid by launching her new attack, Fulgora. Kid and Killer try to run, but it’s no use. KID WHY THE HELL ARE YOU BEING SUCH A COWARD! I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO BECOME THE KING OF THE PIRATES! BRO STEP UP OR SHUT UP! The attack was so powerful that Usopp and Nami felt it from INSIDE THE CASTLE.

Usopp, Nami and Otama are still being chased by Page One, so they do a combination attack. Nami starts off by making it rain, LITERALLY MAKING IT RAIN NOT FIGURATIVELY AS IN RAINING MONEY, and it seems that has absolutely no effect on Page One. Usopp then uses Special Attack: Smoke Stars to cover Page One’s vision with smoke… which also doesn’t work. But, here’s the thing. The entire plan was for Page One to be covered by water so that Nami’s Thunderbolt Tempo since water is a great conductor of electricity. So the attack hits and it seems that it was effective. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to take him out for good. Page One went into his hybrid form to jump onto Usopp, Nami, Otama, and Kobachiyo. Otama has Usopp and Nami duck as the new plan is to run straight into a wall to shake him off.

As they do so, the show PERFECTLY transitions into a different part of the castle in which Kid and Killer crashed. Kid and Killer find out that Big Mom crashed below them. The hole she made was so big that she couldn’t track where the two of them landed. Kid decides to rendezvous with Big Mom to prevent her from teaming up with Kaido. As they are running, Killer thinks back to how Kid was defending him from the people who had the audacity to laugh at him. As he is reminiscing, the two run into none other than Basil Hawkins. Kid expresses his anger since he betrayed them and Hawkins talks about how he simply chose not to fight a battle he knows he would lose. Forget what I said about Kid being a coward. HAWKINS IS A TRUE COWARD! ANYONE WHO GIVES UP BEFORE THEY FIGHT ARE NOTHING BUT COWARDLY! However, before Kid can settle things, Killer insists that he goes after Big Mom and take care of her, and Kid goes on ahead. So now we have Killer and Hawkins facing off, with the two of them doing some talking before they get into things. Hawkings says that Killer has a 92% chance of dying and refers to Killer by his real name, Hitokiri Kamazo. Killer is in favor of just taking matters into his own hands. Killer thinks back to his struggles in Wano and he’s amped up to kick Hawkins’ ass!

LASTLY, WE GET INTO THE BEST PART OF THIS EPISODE, THE GREATEST SHOWCASE IN ALL OF FICTION SO FAR, LUFFY’S EVOLUTION! Luffy is standing there, calmly, thinking about the fact that he’s going to kick Kaido’s ass. He clenches his fist, LIKE AN ABSOLUTE BADASS, and his music plays. YOU KNOW WHEN LUFFY’S MUSIC PLAYS THAT HE’S ABOUT TO RELEASE TONS OF BADASSERY! THE MUSIC ALONE HAD ME JUMP OUT OF MY SEAT. Luffy thinks back to Hyogoro’s advice about using his Haki to destroy the enemy from the inside out. Luffy points out to Kaido that he noticed that he can also use the Color of the Supreme King! As Kaido charges at Luffy and goes to attack him, Luffy is still standing there calmly just thinking back to his previous encounter with Kaido and his overall journey since arriving in the Land of Wano. Then we get this absolutely STUNNING visual of the current Luffy coming out of the past Luffy who went into Udon, symbolizing that Luffy has come out of the shell of his former self and become even MORE OF A BADASS! Then, then, THEN, Luffy just uses his Haki to completely stop Kaido’s attack, WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING HIM! Law wakes up to Luffy’s badassery and his golden aura and watches this absolute spectacle of Luffy embarrassing Kaido. Kaido is clearly struggling, while Luffy is just able to think clearly and reflect on Hyogoro’s words while going in on him. That’s one of the things that makes Luffy such a badass! He is so free that even when he’s fighting, he can think about whatever he wants. SUCH BADASSERY! Luffy sends Kaido back by allowing the Haki in his body to flow, but it’s not over yet. Luffy then goes at Kaido and hits him with a MEAAANNNNN uppercut! Luffy thinks back to Zoro, his training in Udon, Law, Kid, and Killer, as he is hitting Kaido, and it fuels him even more as he LAUNCHES KAIDO! Luffy then casually lands back on the ground with such BADASSERY and such smoothness. He thanks Zoro and Law for defending him and tells the two of them to go back downstairs, so he can proceed to kick Kaido’s ass even hard. Luffy gives Law a BADASS smile and tells Law to send that message to everyone.

KAIDO YOU’RE SCREWED BRO!

I AM MORE THAN EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE EPISODES!

If I was nitpicky there are plenty of things I could complain about. Instead I will congratulate Toei to another outstanding episode. Although, I can't help but wonder how Luffy vs Kaido would've looked in 2007.

Also props to expanding on the Kid and Killer part. It's nothing outstanding, but it's always nice to see when the anime adds to the parts that fell short.

So Luffy is going to beat Kiado by himself? I don't like it, I think it's too early for him to be able to do that especially when I saw that at the beginning he was taken down by Kaido in one attack. The action, in the end, was too difficult to follow with those special effects.

This? And someone told me that the wound that Luffy did to Kaido that got censored, But now it looks like Zoro did more than Luffy, when he actually did much worse to him.

Oda already put the conqueror haki coating’s visual effects, but the aura ruined it.

It does not even look like Luffy is hitting him without touching him in the anime, because of all the needless flashiness that ruins it.

One Piece anime keeps putting other airing shows to shame, having this level of animation and directing in a long running series is supposedly impossible. Visually, it's the most striking and memorable shonen adaptation of this era alongside Kimetsu no Yaiba, the art department is doing wonders with both color choice and characters designs and manages to keep a remarkable consistency.

I'm just constantly in awe at what the team behind the anime is able to pull off at such a regular basis. You can tell that they love One Piece and want to make every single blow as memorable as possible.

Vincent Chansard keeps being an absolute chad with his space awereness and never-unimpressive background animation, and I was SO GLAD to see Shuu Sugita back on OP after his mindblowing cut on ep 978.

Those final 7 minutes were pure anime greatness, Toei is doing so much justice to this part of the story.

Toei just took a big dump over one of the best chapter of the year (chapter 1010) and a good part of the One Piece fanbase is still praising it. No wonder Toei can get away with the worst pacing in the medium and half-assing less important scenes.

So many people are gassing this episode up (and last week's too which suffered the same fate) even though 10 minutes of it was wasted on big mom making a new elemental minion and Kidd vs Hawkins. Then we finally get the moment we've been waiting for: Luffy using conqueror haki coating in his attacks. Yet it's superposed with so many flashbacks from Wano act 1-2 it literally took 5 minutes for Luffy to pull off his punch and see Kaido's reaction. What a joke. Yeah animation was pretty for that part, big whoop. Disgusting pacing rhythm.

Edit: Random dude on youtube with a better storyboard adaptation and composition than Toei. Slapping a bunch of after-fx and adding drawn out flashbacks through this moment was a terrible directing decision, and people are saying the direction was great. Some people need a slightly more critical mind.

I don’t read manga so I wouldn’t know the difference of the pacing between them I think based on an anime only perspective it was a masterpiece of an episode that’s my opinion you can have yours lol

Not gonna lie I read the manga and if anything I’d say the pacing is too slow in the anime, in the manga after Kaido eacked Luffy out of gear four, Luffy instantly figured out how to use Ryou and started using it perfectly and you might not like the flashiness but that doesn’t make it objectively bad just means you didnt like it, you’re not wrong, its just an opinion, it just means it wasnt to your taste

Oh god what a wild ride of emotions (both good and bad) that was. Okay so of course we had to deal with some stalling both during the Big Mom scene at the beginning when she created Hera, and then later in the episode during Luffy's scene. But I was able to forgive that because the middle of the episode was still pretty good. I especially liked Killer's scene with Hawkins, mostly because of the color palette used.

However the last 5 minutes was more of the same aura bullshit that we keep having to deal with, complete with more flower petal symbolism that has been added to the ever-growing list of colored effects that Toei keeps using to make the fight on the rooftop seem cooler. I'm not saying that the animation wasn't great because it was, but did we really need so many aesthetic effects, sound effects and DBZ crap just for see Luffy hit Kaido with Advanced CoC?

What made that whole sequence hilarious is...



I guess this episode deserves at least a 4/5 because I'm feeling generous.

about the manga spoiler, i won't consider that as spoiler as only anime cause that a trend from the beginning the series at this point XD

So many people are sleeping on how powerful Big Mom's Fulgora attack was.

A lot of people seem to detest this episode, I thought it was fine. Yes, I waited for the adaptation of chapter 1010 for so long, especially when I first watched the masterpiece that was 1015, I have such humongous hopes for this episode, it did not deliver, but also, it was not as terrible as people were whining about.

Side note, Toei being super sneaky about a certain silhouette in the impact frame of Luffy and Kaido's clash.

You look at it the wrong way. You may feel different about this episode since you're rather a newcomer to the anime. Not saying there wasn't a lot to complain about again, but to many it's a treat after years and hundreds of episodes of unremarkable animaton. For better or worse, this episode stood out again.

Also pretty immature to slander the whole fanbase. You're attempting to be critical, is it so difficult to be more level headed as well?

Now as for the video you shared. It's very simplistic short clip. Not to discredit the guy who worked on it, but saying the storyboard is better is an adventourous claim. Where are the emotions? At best I could say that it's cleaner and that it's a style that would've worked better if it was a longer exchange. For it this situation however it wouldn't have left the same bombastic impression. Not to mention that it couldn't have filled the episode, that's something you have to consider as well. These animators work as a team and they have to follow a tight schedule.
