I CRIED!!!
when that orchestral version of We Are started playing, my eyes were like waterfalls!! so beautiful! this part was even better than it was in the manga! very emotional and beautiful, possibly one of my new favorite moments in the anime!
and on top of that, we even got to see Katakuri and hear his voice for the first time in this episode!
phenomenal!
the alternate version of the opening was quite nice as well!

Based Sugita Tomokazu.

Gotta say that Toei nailed this episode and OP is still GOAT at times,there isn't a single show which can make me feel the same.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I'm sure people may say this was dragged. But I find it very very well done and appropriate. Would've been retarded if they didn't make this part impactful and slow after what Sanji did to Luffy. So the redemption being at this pace was beautifully done. FEEELZ! That punch luffy gave Sanji was so well animated. Loved it.

AND THEN THE GOAT!!!!! KATAKURI with SUGITA'S VOICE!! Hell yes
Bege hype nxt And Gastini :D

Nailed on brilliant adaptation from Toei!

Katakuri's voice is absolutely perfect, as expected of Sugita. So relieved :]

So the intro is updated now. Glad to see that Luffy and Sanji made up. I like Katakuri's VA. Sounds menacing enough. So we're going to see Capone in the next episode. Looking forward to it.
Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts.

Great episode, that was so emotional. Teared up as the 'We Are' orchestral started playing.

I've always admired Luffy's knack for being able to tell whether a person is speaking from their heart or not.

Sanji finally opens about his desire to return to Sunny as well as save his family. :)
The part where Luffy smiles and says, "That's because you're you" was so damn powerful.

I'm glad Toei always come through for the best parts.

KATAKURI HYPE!! Wait Sugita is voicing him? EVEN MORE HYPE! XD

Damn man this episode was GODLY. I knew I was missing some feels in the first Luffy v Sanji fight but this episode smacked me hard with it, especially the Orchestra Ver of We are I need that shit man. It only adapted half a chapter but like the other one said, it would be stupid to rush this, hell there wasn't even a the weekly recap in this week's ep. overall 5/5 episode keep up the great work Toei!

Incredible. That was absolutely incredible, my god! The emotions, the feels... Toei nailed it in this episode! One Piece at its finest!

It seems that the visuals for the OP have been changed specifically for this episode. It became more dramatic with all the montages of clips from previous episodes of this arc, and wow, it truly delivered with the emotions.

Such strong feels when the orchestral version of "We Are" was playing in the background, especially when Luffy nodded with a smile and answered Sanji with "Well, that's how you are." The timing of the chorus part was perfect! That scene made me cry. ;_;

And then the GOAT of this arc has arrived! My man Katakuri! Honestly, I was wishing Katakuri would be voiced by a prolific seiyuu with a deep voice, so I've always imagined him speaking in Tomokazu Sugita's voice, and HAHAHA IT ACTUALLY CAME TRUE! xDD The perfect voice for Katakuri, it's real! It's no longer a dream! >_< And this must be Sugita's first ever role in One Piece? Well I'm just happy my wish came true. xD And thank Toei for giving Katakuri an earlier debut in the anime.

5/5 episode! Well done, Toei! Keep up the good work!

Good episode when Luffy punched Sanji that reminded me of Garp and his fists of love when they were little xD. Also the moment when Luffy asked him what do you really want that turned flashback for me at Enis Lobby when Robin was captured and he also asked her when she answered that she wants to live.And in the end that Katakuri dude sure looks promising :D

This episode was freaking awesome!!!

When the piano version of 'We Are' started playing, I legit cried... I was pretty shocked....

and, yeah.. as an anime-only person (only in the case of One Piece), I still don't know why people are so hyped up about Katakuri

I have waited to see this moment for so long! Luffy and Sanji are legit finally reunited!!! The feels along with that (orchestral?) One Piece first opening music (We Are) in the moment when Sanji told Luffy what he really wanted is perfect!

Katakuri is finally here... His voice fits him.

From the opening the episode is epic, they portrayed the feelings of the saga in that minutes. Then it started with Sanji lookinf for Luffy untile they have the long-awited reunion where they talk each other about their thoughts and intentions. Very emotive when Luffy decides that he'll help Sanji. And the aparition of Katakuri.

Splendid episode… the feels

Looking forward to the hype around Katakuri, I only watch the anime of One Piece but on YouTube/forums/etc. I saw a lot around this character. My all-time favourite is Dofi but this guy seems also very evil….We'll see!

Such a beautiful episode. I think that's what you can call a perfect moment. All the feels and when "We are" began to play I also teared up. It was about time that Luffy and Sanji met each other.

I can understand Sanjis feelings. He hates his family for everything they've done to him in the past but at the same time he doesn't want to let them die.

A new character in form of the last sweets general Katakuri made his appearance. He looks strong and I'm curious about his bounty. Sugita Tomokazus voice sounds so perfect for him. I can't wait to see more of him in the future episodes.

Great episode, took a bit too long to get to this point, but I’m glad the wedding or tea party is finally about to happen. It sounded like Robin had a new VA in that flashback.

This episode also had one of the longest intros, episode didn’t start until 8 minutes in... Basically half a episode.

Next week, “The tea party from Hell”

This episode is probably one of the best things the show has ever done, hands down. From that new orchestral version of we are to the emotional climax of Luffy and Sanji's gripe it was perfect. The anime's adaption of the manga chapters has been surpassing it lately for the last 5 weeks. It's great and a nice return to form.

Awesome scenes won't justify the very slow pace of this episode. But I sure am glad that it's finally settled, that thing with Sanji. But I'm thinking... can the Strawhats really defeat Big Mom?
