| rip yasu. the title of this ep was misleading a little but the preview got me curious af for the next ep |
   |
| the title for this episode makes no sence. The smile story actually doesn't really come fully into play until the next episode which is tommorow. So in my opinion they should have titled this to be something related to Yasue and then next episode could be called "The truth about smile" |
  |
| Damn RIP Yasuie. I feel really bad for poor Toko... |
 |
| Man, Yasui is such a honorable man. And I guess that means all people of Ebisu have eaten the SMILE fruit, that's why they're always laughing and smiling.. I wonder if that means that they have Devil Fruit powers.. or maybe they were test subjects |
| I began by uttering "Zoro kill them" because I wanted him to save Yasu. Zoro is already a wanted man, it can't get much worse than it already is for him. So kill them!!! But then, after Yasu fell, it became "Zoro kill them" out of anger and revenge. I wanted blood, I know it's no good to stoop to the enemies level, continue a cycle of hatred, whatever, but damn I felt it!!! I was filled with ire and grief. A sorrowful rage!!! That's how you know it's good. Yasu was a damn good man. A man who was living for this fight so when his chance to play a part once more occured, there was no hesitation in his sacrifice. His ability and resolve to die so easily, it spoke more than any words could. He's a man that has been living to die here today. Righteous!!! My favorite little dude is gone. He will be missed. But his effort won't be in vain. I love the Zoro focus. Outside of the samurai, Zoro was one the closest to this tragedy. Through Yasu and Otoko herself. Yeah, he beat Pica, but this more delicate stuff from him is what I've been missing for a long time. His depiction feels so full of earnestness and respect!!! I'm sorry to end this post with annoyances after singing its praises, but I have to admit my tears dried as soon as it was brought up that the Ebisu crowd can only smile. I loved the gesture of them laughing through their struggle, that autonomy has now been taken somewhat away, further having it directly relate with the SMILE fruit, as if it steals all other emotions from people feels so stupid to me right now!!!! I may come around for sure, I really don't mean to say this definitively or strongly, but to end the episode on that reveal revoked something that I loved and brought something that sounded so damn cheesy to the table that it kinda killed my crying fit. I looked up with tears in my eyes and exclaimed in a jaded voice, "really?" |
| I haven't been moved like this probably since Pedro's death but somehow this one hit me harder. RIP Yasu san. |
| How many bullets do they need ..., he would've been swiss cheese by now. RIP Yasu though, truly amazing how his death helped out the resistance, convincing them it was just a prank. Also, gives a whole new meaning to the word SMILE regarding the fruit. |
 |
| Man, Yasu was a real one. |
| Oh my God, this was so sad... |
| That was a really emotional episode! I hope everyone is adequately pissed off! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| The execution is fucked up and brutal. Finally we got an explanation why tf they always laughing |
 |
| The scene was dragged for sure however that bit of annoyance is nothing more than a droplet ina sea dreadful emotions. Yasuie's death is like a stab to the heart, especially after seeing bits of his backstory from the scenes they've shown in this ep. The feels are even more painful when you factor in the fact that he's taking the blame as the one who made those flyers and framed it as nothing more than a prank with Orochi himself cowardly assuming it was more than that and inexcusably arrested multiple innocent individuals. Truly, without this proclamation that was made where the citizens of Wano are closely listening upon, the plan that had already been foiled will soon fail and all the preparation a vain, but due to this the events of this execution, the plan as Yasuie said himself, has been reset. This alone changed the entirety of the future that Wano and its citizens will live through in the future, a monumental achievement from a man worthy of tearful respect. What a great act of selfless sacrifice, as expected from Yasuie who would even willingly share his wealth back when he was a daimyo and yet again when he lost his title as a man called Tonoyasu. The last few moments of his life ended as epic as it could be, after the words he has directed to the citizens, the last few breaths he made was directed to utterly spite on the fool of a shogun, Orochi. And now for something that is hundreds of chapters and episodes in the making, the real truth regarding SMILE, the artificial devil fruit. The name alone is a dead giveaway and yet for many, they've only come to a realization of the effect it has. |

| Okay, I admit, that last reveal got me. There's been a lot of human experimentation going on in One Piece, though the first time I really noticed it was during Punk Hazard all of Caesar's experiments, as that was where it was focused on the most. There's also been Vegapunk and Judge experimenting with human modification, leading to Sanji's brothers all being incapable of expressing proper emotions. This was also present during the Zou arc, with Jack's crew being creepily bloodthirsty and constantly gleeful over committing mass genocide. I always thought the SAD and SMILE names were silly afterthoughts, and I always attributed Kaido's crew to being over-the-top evil villains who eat puppies and kick baby seals. So, apparently it's all now plot relevant. Come to think of it, Doflamingo also went by "Joker" too. Huh. Okay One Piece, you have my attention. |
| Man... I cried so much for Yasui. Poor Otoko and everyone out there who couldn't do anything but SMILE because of Orochi and Kaido's doing. R.I.P Yasui-San. |
 |
| I never expected some random dude that met Zoro on a boat would make me cry this much aaaah ;______; |
| Doji is finding Ball-De-Boo xD The speech and sacrifice from Yasuie are so much to intake in.. along with all his planing... I want Orochi to be taken down more than ever The scene where Yasuie and Toko were with each other, was just so moving Zoros reaction to that execution was just priceless... Despite everything happened Yasuie died smiling WAIT WAIT I need a moment to process my thought after what Hiyori mentioned at the end... |
| 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 |
| Damn I was getting lowkey pissed off myself but i could feel zoro's anger swelling.. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Another OP episode that broke me. Really emotional, especially as Yasuie said good bye to his daughter. |
| Yeah, I'm lying here a teary, emotional wreck right now due to the death of what was essentially a very minor character. Poor Toko. But that's the strength of One Piece. Even dragged out like this it can still resonate emotionally. Man, it'll be satisfying to see the end of this arc finally animated with this in mind...assuming I make it that long. |
R.I.P Yasuie. You showed us that through anything we should spread around a good and bright smile, and carry a cheery and grateful attitude. You can always spread good fortune, you're not totally powerless...~💙  |
