| Another episode linking the Wano boys to the broader plot. First leading us in with a recap and some explicit information on the journey we’ve had with Poneglyphs. While obvious if Roger signed the one in Skypiea, I didn’t think of the road to Raftel as being necessarily linked to the Ponlegyphs, but here we saw that he used them and everyone needs to. The unknown location of the island is crucial to how few people have gone there. Thus to find it one needs all 4 red poneglyphs and currently there are only 3 known. One by the Minks, one by Mom, and one by Kaido. The fourth is a mystery. We also learned that many people steal the markings on the stones which bleeds into Robin now being targeted again more than ever adding a new threat to the mix. I like this because it all makes sense, it feels right and not contrived or overly convenient to me at the moment. At first the only thing that felt like too much of a coincidence was the meeting with the samurai but even then, the samurai coincidence doesn’t feel too crazy because the Straw Hats met them with Doflamingo involved and Doflamingo is linked to Kaido who wants to force information about Oden out of them. All of this because Oden traveled to Raftel, Kaido having played part in his execution. Also just to top it off, the freaking Wano people made the poneglyphs which ties them to the blank century and Raftel more than ever while suggesting the two have common ground. Seriously, as always, good stuff Oda. The fact that I’m not surprised at the long term picture he’s been writing shows how we’ve come to expect it and that is something impressive in itself. It was also nice to see Robin reflect on how she has friends she can trust. No matter who is after her, they will fight for her. She’s come such a long way, and it was nice to see Saul again. She even got an uncharacteristic blush out of Luffy, it took me off guard! And of course, a silent smile from Zoro as if he’s thinking “that’s my girl”. “Momo you made the poneglyphs for Robin?!” To touch on Jack, my first fear that it could have been Kaido and the beast pirates who took Sanji did still come to reality in another form as expected, just not related to Sanji at all. Sheepshead did seem to alert Jack of what happened to them which may call for a return visit. Jack who just fought and survived a battle with Sengoku, Tsuru, and Fujitora at once. That said, I was slightly sad we didn’t see his reaction to Sheepshead’s failure. I thought it would be a characterizing moment, Jack so far being annoyed or even pissed off at his men but never being cruel to them outside of his stubborn and unflinching orders, now would prove what kind of leader he really is. He’s certainly not the cheap villain who kills his men for no reason but telling him that you’ve failed would definitely be scary and to contrast Doflamingo who would forgive anything excluding betrayal as if it were nothing, I thought we may see a more unforgiving villain. |
| So Momo's father deciphered the Poneglyphs For Gold D. Roger since Robin aske Rayleigh if Roger could read them and he sayed no, that s makin sense that's why Momonosuke's father came with Roger on Rafter, anyway this last 3 episodes were hot we learned many things, i didn't expected wano to be rulled by Kaido so i guess in the Wano luffy will beat kaido so i m looking forward to it. It's strange that Momonosuke's father was the master of the 2 kings, and i didn't see them fighting in this episode, but i think we will learn in the future why they hate each other so much. Either way pretty hot episode! ja ne see you on the next episode :) |

| Damn bro, another epic episode exploring Roger's pirate crew and Wano's history. This just keeps getting interesting. Kaido's gotta be strong if he can take execute Oden. Also, a great callback to Enies Lobby. Robin surely trusts everyone now. They've all gotten so close :D |
| The Kozuki Family being the ancient civilization that was responsible for creating the Poneglyphs was another massive revelation that has me feeling overwhelmed but thirsting for more! From the looks of the line that was uttered about Oden's execution and the expressions of his friends, it looks like he died an especially cruel death... |
 |
| Robin has her friends backing her up. Love these idiots... |
 |
| The crew blushing when Robin called them strong was soooo cute <333 So Oden sama was with Gol. D Roger's on their Voyage to Raftel |
| I don't think my jaw is going to be the same ever again from all of this dropping. To think that such a close link to Raftel was added to the mix as early as Punk Hazard...the setup for the New World has been extraordinary. One thing's for certain now - the Straw Hats vs Kaido faceoff is becoming increasingly inevitable. |
 |
| "THE ONE PIECE IS CLOSER THAN I THOUGHT!" Luffy said, me knowing fully well I'm 300 friggin episodes behind as I watch. XD |
 |
| loved it! great episode! |
 “Hard work betrays none, but dreams betray many. working hard alone doesn't assure you that you'll achieve your dreams. actually there are more cases where you don't. even so, working hard and achieving something is some consolation at least.” ― Hikigaya Hachiman |
| I absolutely agree with God D Usopp plan. Damn funny episode just switched into very emotional near the end. |
