Last episode of One Piece for 2022. 🤢🤢🤢🤢BLAGH!! Yamato's hybrid form from the re-cap was unnecessary, why does Toei show this from 2 episodes ago? 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 reeeeee 3+ re-cap and more Where are Sasaki, and Who's Who's fight? What?! Anyway I don't want to complain. Oh cool FukuroKoju, I find him to be a forgetable character Ahh damn, what is Killer going to do now? Kid is part of Hawkins doll. I hate perosperos, but I always like more Sanji screentime, it's always a big win. Sanji's scene was obviously the best, it was nutty. RocciaNobili was the 2nd key animator for this episode, he/she probably did the Sanji scene |

I don't care if it's padded, having more of Kid and Law vs Big Mom and Killer vs Hawkins > all the Ice Oni filler > all the Yamato running away with Momo filler. Still not as epic as Raizo vs Fukurokuju tho. Peak fr. Second half went stupid. Sanji MVP for holding it down against two commanders. Nekomamushi also came clutch. Great pacing and direction again, even tho it could've been even better if they managed to adapt the entire chapter 1022. Blueball ending to this year of One Piece. Sadly and I mean really sadly we will have to wait till January 8th before the stars can finally take the stage. Recap instead of the Wings of the Pirate King... 2022 had nonetheless it's ups. Some of the best episodes and scenes ever were dropped so that's good enough. |

AtFMmatron, now you know how I feel about Yamato's running padding, but at your different perspective of liking for Kid, and Law. |

The Sanji scenes were absolutely stellar in this episode along with the Perospero and Cat Viper sequences, some really good art and animation on display here. The #1 Sanji stan approves! |

The amount of recapping has gotten ridiculous lately. It's bad enough that this arc has the slowest pacing, then they choose the most boring way of padding out the episodes by recapping stuff from previous ones. The Sanji vs Queen and King scene was nicely animated... too bad it only lasted like 2 minutes. |

Bro is really still complaining about Yamato's hybrid form 💀 Anyway, if they're gonna pad shit out then this is the way to do it. Don't give us flashbacks we've seen thousands of times already, extend the fight scenes. The Sanji stuff went hard and even the Raizo scene was good. Recap of the Tobi Roppo takedown to end the year. |

The recap next week only means one thing, its the end of this stage of the arc with all the fodder fights and tobiroppa and the final battles are approaching with king, queen, big mom and Kaido and my guess is the staff are preparing for these upcoming moments. Also I think there is a very likely chance we will get another "opening" because everything beyond this point is going to be drastically diff content from the current opening. |

Agree, there is actually a pretty intersting cliffhanger with Zoro recovering but i guess there saving all the best parts for next year. Considering 2023 will be the end of wano, the staff are probably gathering resources getting there AAA team on giving us a spectacular finale. |

I'm not used to weekly stuff in OP yet but thank god each episode airs in the morning for me. As for the episode, I really don’t mind Robin’s recap kek she cracked Black Maria like an absolute goddess with her Demonio fleur. It’s now good that the enemy’s tough top officers a.k.a Tobi Roppo, are all defeated. Goodness gracious Luffy really ate a mountains full of one’s monthly food, he gave no shit about others scarcity :laugh: crazy how he can digest all that and still got a pack. 3rd Floor of the Castle in Onigashima, Raizo vs Fukurokuju is one heck of a fight, Raizo’s narrative along to lead in Oden’s past shows how much he wants everything must be obeyed to fulfill Oden’s wish even if it’s a sacrifice to do so. I really do like how the storyboard kinda shows between fights of Killer vs Hawkins & Kidd & Law vs Big Mom to show different ends for the better or worse. Queen & King vs Sanji on the other hand.. Sanji is a fucking monster, holding his own against two yonko commanders! Masami mori is a god I love his diversity and raw moments back in Episode 1015: Yamato’s dream scene. What an entertaining fight, feels good when Sanji’s moment got animated rightfully. |

Sometimes I have the oddest thoughts while watching anime. Like after Luffy "digested" his food, I thought, "Luffy must take massive dumps." Then I wondered how many bathrooms were on the Merry. LOL Poor Killer. He just needs to put some faith in Kid and go for broke. Damn big cat said, "Let's take this outside," and bitch slapped Perospero into a boulder! I think that was my favorite scene in the episode. Next week's a recap = worthless. |

The age thing with Momonosuke makes barely any sense as if the Pink ninja woman can control age shouldn't she be op as fuck? Sanji hard carries this episode 2v1ng King and Queen Simaltenously with flawless animation and animosity. The dynamic of Killer Vs Hawkins being put to a hold becuase Kid was one of his life's was a great plot twist used by Oda. |

Sanji vs Queen and King was so good it literally made my heart beat faster while I was watching it. Honestly, I would have preferred it if Sanji had been able to land a clean hit on King, and maybe also if Queen had been the one to hit Sanji in the end instead of King, but the animation was amazing enough to make up for these things, and in any case it was very satisfying to see Sanji dealing with both at the same time, successfully avoiding King's attack twice, even though the second time Sanji did it he was distracted with Queen (meaning that Sanji is much faster than King before any power-up), having an even clash with King's sword, and only getting hit in the end because he was caught distracted after having just hit Queen. King acknowledging that he made use of Queen as a decoy as a means to hit Sanji was also satisfying to hear. And, on a second thought, it is somehow actually a good thing that King was the one who hit Sanji in the end, since it means that even without Sanji wearing the raid suit, and even with Queen serving as a decoy to distract Sanji, King still can't deal relevant damage on Sanji. And it's noteworthy that Sanji was able to avoid every single one of Queen's attacks even though he had to deal with King at the same time. |

Has it been 40 episodes already with opening 23? Well what I mean is the Wano arc is about to enter its last and final stage of the story. Were wrapping things up with the Tobiroppa. It is a perfect time for the start of the new year for TOIE to sort of restructure what they are going to do for the last parts of the arc, gather resources and maybe even hire freelance directors and artists to create some of the upcoming episodes because things are going to get very intense and i think TOIE will want there A team involved for sure. Ishitani will probably be involved in some of these episodes. With all that being said, the content is a bit different with alot of interesting plot developments so I think we are in need of a new opening at this point in time since the current Opening is hardly relevent any more and it would be the perfect re-start for the new year and the staff can give us some high quality anime. |

I refrained from adding how I personally feel and choose to give you a realistic estimate of what to expect. Was hoping that it would help you with adjusting your expectations. I mean, Luffy vs Kaido is the final fight so I wouldn't be too fixated on that for now. We'll get a big moment in a few episodes, but the climax won't happen anytime soon. The narrative of this arc is divided into multiple subplots/scenes that happen simultaneously after all. If you can binge the manga it flows a lot better. It's the anime's pacing and the fact that you're watching it weekly that's causing the problem here. You could try the manga and you will most likely end up pleasantly surprised when you realize that it takes Luffy only a few pages to reach Kaido(if you add all the pages since he was beaten it doesn't even amount to one chapter) |

We start with a brief recap of the events that have taken place. For those of you who have been keeping up with both the episodes and my reactions, it’s not necessary for me to explain everything. Then we cut to seeing the badassery of THE FIFTH EMPEROR. Caribou mentions that Luffy has eaten a month’s worth of food. LUFFY GIVES BADASSERY TO THE ACTIVITY OF CONSUMING FOOD! THERE’S NO LIMITS TO HIS BADASSERY! Luffy then takes a breath and IMMEDIATELY digests all of that food. What badassery. That’s why he’s the next King of the Pirates. Then we cut to the Third Floor inside the castle, Onigashima. Raizo and Fukurokuji are still battling it out. Both of them with their own ideals. They both question to the other why they serve the person that they serve. One believes in undying loyalty and the other believes in fighting for a cause they believe in. We then cut for a short moment to Shinobu and Momonosuke. We don’t get to see what Momo looks like, but it’s clear that Shinobu fulfilled his request and he’s now that of an adult. Momo is determined to get Luffy to Onigashima once again so that Luffy can kick Kaido’s ass, as promised! Back in the castle, we see Kid and Killer’s fights going on simultaneously. There’s a reason for this. As a reminder, Hawkins has the power to sacrifice other people via his straw dolls. So rather than him taking damage, he forces someone else to that the brunt of an attack that hits him. Big Mom tells Kid not to mess with the Four Emperors, and I’m thinking that she’s forgetting about THE FIFTH EMPEROR! THERE’S NO LONGER THIS FOUR EMPEROR SYSTEM! LUFFY ABOLISHED THAT AFTER INVADING WHOLE CAKE ISLAND AND DEFEATING THE SUPERHUMAN WITH A BOUNTY OVER A BILLION BERRIES! AND BECAUSE OF THAT CONFLICT HE CAN NOW USE HIS OBSERVATION HAKI TO SEE INTO THE FUTURE, AND VERY FAR MIGHT I ADD SINCE HE KNOWS THAT HE’S GOING TO BE KING OF THE PIRATES! Kid charges at Big Mom, ready to deliver a blow as Killer cuts Hawkins. But instead of Hawkins sacrificing some random, it seems that Kid was the one who took that attack. NANI?! What are the conditions in which Hawkins can sacrifice someone with his straw dolls? How does he require the life of an individual for him to use?! What is Killer going to do? He can’t kill Hawkins without killing Kid in the process. WHAT WILL HE DO?!?!? For the final segment of this episode, we go to the Performance Floor. Sanji is occupied at the moment fighting both Queen and King. While doing so, Queen brags about his cyborg powers and keeps referring to Sanji as Judge’s son, despite Sanji objecting to this. The visuals of this fight are just… inspiring. All the bright colors and the movement of both Sanji, King, and Queen along with the background stuff going on is just… AMAZING. THIS IS A REASON WHY ONE PIECE IS THE GREATEST FICTIONAL WORK IN EXISTENCE. Sanji clarifies to Queen that he is indeed the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates! That is one of the greatest titles one could have. Anyone who is a member of Luffy’s crew better be honored that they have a captain with such badassery and amazingness. The situation becomes dire when Queen and King turn their attention to everyone else. It seems that Queen and King are going to take out everyone and right now, Zoro still hasn’t recovered. And now the enemy is looking to go after Zoro and prevent him from recovering. Sanji charges at Queen again to keep his attention off of Marco and all of a sudden, Perospero comes up, ready to assassinate Sanji. BRO STAY THE F*** OUT OF THIS! THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU! He prepares a candy arrow, but what he doesn’t know is that a Mink ally has come to deal with him. None other than Cat Viper, who is ready to avenge Pedro. Pedro is knocked outside and now he can’t bother Sanji. Thank you so much for taking care of the trash. The enemy charges at Zoro, but the samurai come in to protect Zoro to allow Tristan, Miyagi, and Chopper to run with Zoro. But… King decides to fly over and now he stands in front of the three of them. Will Zoro wake up in time?! I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE MORE ONE PIECE! |
