| At least I feel slightly somewhat better from this episode slightly, unlike what happened 2 episodes ago which since then made me unhappy from what I built my hype for, for over 1 year with patience and stress. I did not like the cutaways they did to say the least for this episode. |
| 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 |
| Won't try to critique that much since I know Toei went all out the last 2 episodes, but.. Yikes. As Luffy proceeds to battle Kaidou, the inferno inside the Skull Dome seethes wildly, imperiling everybody show. In spite of the Straw Hats' brave endeavors, the fire demonstrates overpowering. Raizo, helped by Jinbe, executes his arrange by utilizing his jutsu to unleash water he had put away from Zunesha. This water is planning to quench the flares inundating the Dome. Simultaneously, Yamato's caution stuns Momonosuke. With Kaidou drawing nearer his limits, the red hot clouds supporting Onigashima's height are breaking down quickly. Yamato inclinations Momonosuke to create strong fire clouds to supplant them, anticipating Onigashima's collision with the Bloom Capital. Whereas articulating those words, Luffy seizes a jolt of lightning, balanced to unleash its anger upon Kaidou. Watching this, Kaidou urges Luffy on, impelling him to dispatch the lightning-charged assault. For a alter, the episode's highlight is evidently Raizo's bright arrange to control the seething flares debilitating to expend the collusion and all those interior the Arch. The disclosure of his water-storing jutsu, utilizing water gotten from Zunesha, infuses a reviving component of imagination into the story. This startling bend not as it were illustrates the vital profundity of the story but moreover exhibits the genius of the characters within the confront of apparently unfavorably odds. Yamato's critical caution to Momonosuke includes another layer of complexity to the unfurling emergency. The looming collapse of the fire clouds supporting Onigashima's rise infuses a sense of criticalness and franticness into the story. The destiny of a complete city hangs within the adjust, emphasizing the tall stakes that have been building all through the circular segment. So many flashbacks this episode though, especially in the beginning of it. But this is One Piece we're talking about. Alright episode. From here on out its really just a matter of waiting for the end of Wano in nine or ten episodes from now. No episode next week btw. |
 |
| Hardly any Luffy screen time in this one, so you can kind of pass on this episode if you're there to watch Luffy. |
| Oh wow, I'm almost speechless. I knew that this episode would suck since the Raizou stuff was awful in the manga too, but it felt so much worse here because of the crappy animation. Yes I know that Toei is incapable of giving us 3 straight episodes of amazing animation, but I thought they'd at least put some budget into the Luffy vs Kaido scenes. I was wrong. The whole sequence of Luffy getting hit by the club was embarrassing to look at, and none of the other scenes during the fight were any better; even Luffy grabbing lightning didn't feel that special because of how generic it looked. And don't get me started on how bad the pacing was overall. Jesus Christ, I almost feel bad for criticizing 1071 and 1072 now. |
| Obviously not as much of a crowd-pleasing episode as the last two but it's good to see the other Straw Hats Ending just at the most awesome part LOL |
| ayyyyy finally a jimbe time card |
| Disappointing episode can't lie. Pretty embarrassing that they used Giant Luffy in the recaps at the beginning of the episode, just to use it again in another scene... |

| My favorite thing was Luffy grabbing himself when Kaido almost hit him in the crotch. I thought that was funny. Elephant bath ninja scroll + fishman jutsu was on point. I don't remember it in the manga. Wasn't happy with the recap and flashbacks. |
| Starting to think that 1015 was just a fluke. This series gets a handful of episodes every one hundred with solid production and at the end of the day, they aren't any better than a key episode from a seasonal action title to begin with. Yet Toei couldn't do it for these G5 episodes, which just keep getting more and more embarrassing. Don't know what's worse, your typical low quality slop that's associated with this series or the studio's utter fumbling of the last two episodes (especially 1071, which has already gone down in infamy). I was about to say we're back to the usual slop, but Jesus Christ. I've never been a fan of the new powerup and subscribe to the belief that it's atrocious writing no better than a generic nekketsu asspull powerup, if not arguably worse because of the implications that it carries; but Toei has turned it and Luffy into a clown fiesta. Bravo lmao. Iirc, that leak from Aug 6 that rated 1072 a 10/10 (lol) gave this one a 6/10, so you just know how bad it actually is. Looking forward to begrudgingly dropping this anime in the next couple of episodes when this disgustingly bloated arc is finally put to an end. I'll still stomach though the manga even though I can't stand the direction it's gone in for a long time, just because I've already invested so much time into it.

| This episode would've benefited from being after luffy had defeated kaido |
| Yea this ep wasn’t it. Especially compared to last week’s which was awesome Love some good flashback-kun and aura piece 😍 (sorry) |
 |
| bit of an underwhelming episode since most of us are here for gear 5 but this was admittedly the weakest chapter in all this, still good to see sanji. i don't mind em taking it easy for this one since 1071 and 1072 have already been two consecutive 10/10s and we'll see what comes of the later episodes. luffy still pulling crazy shit, out here casually grabbing lightning bolts like it's nothing.  luffy vs kaido recap next week though, that was expected but i didn't expect it to happen in between gear 5 episodes. |
 |
| Was still enjoyable but not nearly as much as 71 and 72 lol Stupid recap next week :/ |
 |
| Amazing ep as always gear 5 is truly a ridiculous power seeing Kaido beat up like a mere rat is freaking hilarious and satisfying |
 |
| Well after consecutive strong episodes in 1071 and 1072, this one will definitely feel underwhelming (and idgaf what anyone here who just constantly bitches has to say, the previous 2 episodes were fire). Not much focus on Luffy vs. Kaido this time around, instead we mostly caught up with everyone else and what they're up to, along with seeing Raizo and Jinbei put out the fire. Honestly not much else to say about the episode. Sucks that there's another recap next week. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
Luffy is "not" messing around, Jinbe and Raizo are the GOATS and the flashback to Zou was really nice. Didnt really mind the scenes that were not focused on Gear 5 as its good to see other things going on in the story, lets just hope it is not like the katakuri fight cause that was unbearable. hopefully new OP next episode, recap next week kinda ruins the hype but it is what it is. |
| Luffy grabbed lighting out of the clouds near the end. Gear 5th is full of surprises. |
Echidna best waifu :D |
| Recaps and heavily reused scenes never feel good. With the introduction to Gear 5 in the last two episodes, however, it was foreseeable that TOEI would now slow down a bit again. Nevertheless, I still have a ton of fun with Gear 5 Luffy, even if unfortunately there was hardly anything to see of it or the fight against Kaido in general in this episode. The fire is slowly but surely making the situation in Onigashima dangerous for everyone involved. Escape seems utterly impossible, no matter which direction or floor you try. After Raizo talked about being able to control or even put out the fire, I was definitely curious to see how this would happen. That he could store such a gigantic amount of water in his ninjutsu role was more than surprising and in combination with Jimbei this water was even given a certain control. So there's one less problem to worry about. What is of even greater concern, however, is the fact that, as Yamato alluded to, Kaido is becoming weaker and weaker, and his flame clouds will soon be unable to support Onigashima, and only Momo's own flame clouds would be able to sustain Onigashima. Luffy casually grabbing lightning to use it against Kaido is kinda insane. Another testament to how ridiculous Gear 5 truly is. While I don't think this will end the fight, I'm curious to see how Kaido responds. Looks like we'll be taking a break next week with a recap only episode with Bartholomeo. |

| This was one of those awkward transition chapters in the manga where readers felt like Oda had to interrupt the gear 5 to resolve a certain plot thread about the burning onigashima. Though this was mainly 100% oda, the only thing TOEI added was a few little flashback scenes. I remember when this chapter was released, and everyone was complaining about it lol. Though we did think Luffy grabbing lightning was unexpected. 1073 is going to be a really good one though. |
  |
| Another episode that doesn't rly show al ot of Luffy VS Kaido.. |
| happy but i don't what to think about ths episode they don't want to finih this fight... |
| PLEASE STOP RATING!!! less than 4 means that you don't know how to judge Anime / Manga!!! best recom on https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh or Discord https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7 |
LuffyHammock94 said: It's not everyone, but rather a single/group of trolls downvoting the episode ratings since the introduction of G5. Each episode has been consistently getting around 100-300 1/5 votes. Some people just cannot contain their jealousy.wtf why is everyone downvoting this episode? |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Since Luffy is unaffected by lightning he was able to grab it and manipulate it that’s so sick even Raizo was a big help this episode unlike momonosuke he’s useless |

OMG-SPAM said: This ep was good. But next one is going to be a filler like cant they just end wano already? I don't mean it in a bad way but this arc had been running almost since 2019. If they want to give us fillers they can after the arc ends. Like just put a 12-14 ep filler arc after wano but don't mess with the weekly canon eps. Next episode will be a filler/recap... sigh |
| Big disappointment and next episode feels like recap I totally lost every hope for this fight. |
| Absolute waste of a week again. |
 |
| So they gonna stretch this as much as gear 5. |
 |
| Oh well this episode had some flashbacks which was expected after those phenomenal two episodes lol but all's good. This one felt more like a breather episode. Really good to see some Jinbei spotlight after so long! I hope after next week's filler we get a satisfying conclusion to Luffy and Kaido's fight like the manga. |

chukesh007 said: It was Ok episode but They didn't properly adapt the thunder scene 😔 it was an iconic scene but they failed in animation also . I hope they redo that scene in the next episode with better animation because that scene was extremely impactful in the manga. Let's see. |
|
| I already knew that this one would be a manga filler but still the episode was disappointing because it gave Raizo hardly any screentime comparing to the flashbacks and the fire chases. Toei could've atleast given some Raizo filler and Raizo hype moments! This literally was Raizo's episode and he wasn't the hero of 1073. |
| (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ YouTube @ The Pirate Collector ԅ( ͒ ͒ )ᕤ |
| cool episode, maybe a little long but it's ok Next week.... again a fucking recap episode... |
| A shame Winbe and Raizo saving the day had to be part of such a lackluster episode. The One Piece anime is what it is. Mid episodes have been a part since forever, especially prevalent during Wano. There were far worse stinkers. I dunno how Gear 5th was supposed to change the way of things. Obviously event watcher, haters and trolls wouldn't know, let alone care. kinotabii said: Starting to think that 1015 was just a fluke.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Recap piece is striking again next week. But I'll look past it as long as they reanimate the Luffy bolt grab in the one after. |
