Eltrik said: At least it's not 4kids, with 4kids' dub she was beaten up by some other village thugs who she beat in a kendo fight. And did not die, but was not able to hold a sword ever again. You never even got to see her afterwards.yeah tashigi is a different person.. but dying from falling down the stairs.. come on kuina.. =.= |

| So according to 4kids, she didn't die. But became a bitter quadriplegic with all of her dreams basically destroyed and much likely thrown into an awful state of depression. Sounds totally like the right decision lol. |
jal90 said: Yes as long as she doesn't die then it's all good. Just like how Bellemere was sent to a dungeon by Arlong instead of being shot and was never seen again, didn't even address the dungeon or her after they beat him even though she could have been alive.So according to 4kids, she didn't die. But became a bitter quadriplegic with all of her dreams basically destroyed and much likely thrown into an awful state of depression. Sounds totally like the right decision lol. |

| Oh man I forgot about Tashigi top 3-5 girl in OP |
| I noticed this episode how much my feelings on Shirahoshi have changed. It wasn’t until Usopp said that they had to leave soon and she started to cry that I realized I found it endearing rather than obnoxious. I suppose that was the intended feeling we were supposed to have regarding her, as we like Luffy were supposed to slowly realize the strengths that she had making her more than a cry baby. I think we too were supposed to change her name to Yowahoshi like Luffy did. It's not that I didn't like her, I did find the fact that she cried so much regarding her dynamic with Luffy and how she had never been yelled at before super funny. But having her hold the truth of who killed her mother for so long, having her risk her life to chase away the Noah, and probably having seen her past with Otohime, it was enough to make a moment that I perhaps would have rolled my eyes at before endearing! Plus, Usopp constantly apologizing to her after yelling at her and her big role in the story helps. Going on this line of thought, although none of the supporting characters that we didn't already have a personal connection to spoke to me personally in the end, I think that they were a likeable bunch. Fukuboshi, Neptune, and Shirahoshi specifically. The discussion between Jimbei and Neptune was one of my favourite parts of the episode. It was such a sweet and honorable moment between two men with a long history together, and it definitely came off that way. We got to hear about the Sun Pirates and how they're doing well, and we got to know that the connection with Big Mam was a product of Jimbei working with her. He himself realizes that she is an unreasonable figure, but he does realize that without Whitebeard it's the next best thing. The thing I love here was that Jimbei told Neptune it was just a coincidence, that by siding with Big Mam the Sun Pirates were free. It was like he was telling Neptune that this was no problem, that Neptune needs to feel no guilt over this, nor pay him back. But as if to address that, Neptune obviously see through it and tells Jimbei that he does not need to take all the responsibility alone, rather Neptune has a plan to fight back. The amount of respect between both of them as well as their honour was quite tangible! To finish it off coincidentally both of them laugh about how they would like the Straw Hats as the flag they hold high, and Jimbei confides in Neptune that he would like a situation to form that he could break it off with Big Mam and join the Straw Hats side! I found Jimbei’s line, “the pirate's world is all about obligation and honour”, one that defined him well. It reminds me of when he told the minister in his flashback, “sometimes, paying back a debt of honor is more important than carrying out my mission”. It will be great to have him with the Straw Hats. Maybe in time for their fight with Big Mam! Pekoms and Caribou’s fight was one of my favourite parts of the episode. Pekom’s design and voice already drew me in, and I was wondering just how strong him and Tamago were, they are pirates under an emperor and at least Pekoms is knowledgeable about all of the notorious pirates out there. He recognized Luffy but recognizing Caribou is a bigger deal. They have to be able to put up a fight and intimidate to make sure people are forced to pay up, so to see his weird lion turtle shell, his shave and one punch finish, and those super cool lines “of course I am!!!”, or the standout line of the scene, “Logia eaters who think that they are invincible die young” sold how fearsome Big Mam’s pirates are. Pekoms appeared to be a 6 power / haki / devil fruit user and he goes to show that logia isn’t a free pass anymore once you’re in the New World! And with designs & quirks as memorable as these two, as well as their linking to an emperor, and generally the fact that I love their archetype means that I'm excited to see them again one day. Last but not least, we got an update on Smoker and Tashigi. Tashigi has a fanclub under her as the captain of the G -5 branch but all in all, she doesn't seem too different. Her line “don't treat me lightly because I'm a woman” was more Kuina vibes for sure. We got to see the G-5 branch itself, as it's notorious for being a brutal rogue branch of the navy, one that doesn't obey anyone, full of marines who appear more like pirates. But, with Smoker and Tashigi still holding official titles I’d assume they are enough use to the navy that they keep them around! I was joking to my friend that with Magellan not stopping the Impel Down riot that he probably lost his job, and with Aokiji leaving the navy, and Smoker already being pretty gosh darn rogue that perhaps there was a secret navy that represented true justice being formed. Justice in a more Coby sense. This isn't exactly that, and with the notorious cruelty that G-5 allegedly enacts perhaps this is a case of absolute power being corrupted too, Smoker does remind me of Dirty Harry type, but it's so nice to see and I think it's a good approach for Smoker as his moral code has always gone against the navy. Having full reign to do what he thinks is right is something I'm all for, even if only because I like Smoker and I like to see him thrive. |
| I can't wait to see the Tamate Box blow up all over Big Mom's gigantic face! It looks like they're going to leave Fishman Island now... I'm going to miss Shirahoshi a lot~ It was awesome to see Vice Admiral Smoker and Captain Tashigi lead what's pretty much a glorified pirate crew lmao |
 |
| Smoker and Tashigi are back. Nami is scary. LOL |
 |
| Daddy Smoker? 🥵 Tashigi glow up? 😍 |
 |
| Nami wooped their asses not because of the bomb box, but because they gave away her treasure ^_^ GOD Smoker is awesome |
| So Smokey is Vice Admiral now .He deserves it |
| Was getting worryingly funny when Jinbei and Neptune were talking about the Sun Pirates being allied with Big Mam and the importance of having one of the Four Emperors in good standing in the New World. They were going to be in for a shock when finding out what Luffy did xD Luckily as their talk went on they were already wanting to distance themselves from her, so it wasn't quite as bad. So even after the declaration of war against Big Mam, they still let her have the treasure. Was hoping that Caribou still had at least the Tamate box with him so it would blow up in his face and have that problem instantly taken car of. Was nice to see him get put in his place though and actually see a powerful crew member in action as opposed to having OP captains and Commanders followed by fodder who would be easily beaten by Paradise pirates. That quick fight set the bar higher for the standards the Strawhats will be up against, hopefully. Nice to see Smoker's glow up in being a Vice Admiral now, along with Tashigi being as blind as ever without her glasses. While I'm a bit surprised that Smoker would go so for as to allow former(?) pirates into his specialist group, it also seems fitting for his character. He's determined to get Luffy and knows that he won't get anywhere sticking with the standard Navy soldiers. Also likely shows that he's become more of a rule bender in the past 2 years as he's become more sick of the crap that HQ and the World Gov have been trying like when they wanted to attribute Crocodile's defeat on him. Since he has reached Vice Admiral though, I guess he'll have been training in haki. Lion turtle showed that logia-types who think they're invincible die young, but a logia-type trained in haki in likely going to give Luffy a challenge, even if he can hit him. |

| smoker and tashigi appeared ! |
 |
| So happy to see Tashigi and Smoker again. Definitely my favorite characters in the navy. Tashigi definitely seems improved on her skill. Still think there a chance she Zoro childhood friend. Smooker looks even more cool. He seemed friendly with ice admiral. So when he lost I wonder if he went rouge. Why lot of his crew look like pirate too. |
Yeah I was wondering the same thing lol |
