| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So it was KILLER ALL THAT TIME!!! Damn, couldn't have guessed that! And Also, we see finally the Straw-hats (excludes Chopper and Luffy) giving their Moves and defeats all those samurai of Orochi, since... Fish man Island? Damn that's been a while! Zoro vs. Kyoushiro. Kid and Killer together getting caught by Queen's underlings. Looking forward to the next Episode! |
| The only good part is the last scene. Damn thats messed up. |
 |
| Good episode covered up most of the stuff. Damn that last scene hit me. This whole smile fruit thing really fucks up people's lives... Sigh I can really feel Luffy & Zoro's boiling rage for sure. |
| Today's episode covered chapter 944, pages 2-13. |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| Amazing Episode finally it become interesting |
 |
| So Hitogiri Kamazou was Killer all along and damn that's messed up. |
 |
| Very action packed episode that I've been waiting to see, killer reveal was definitely done very well |
| Oh man it was pretty sad tand surprising to see the crazy Kamazo turning out to be Killer who was forced to eat a smile fruit. |
 |
| Man Kyoshiro's character is so cool, Can't wait to see more of him. |

| Mugiwara action never gets old. It's simply nice to see how they got each others back and of course also Luffy cheering them on xD The Killer reveal really surprised me when I read the manga, but it was such a interesting move. Also to highlight how much Kid cares for his nakama. He got some softness under all these spikes. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Killer reveal is such a shocking moment. Even poor Kidd got emotional over the reveal. |

aro_s said: i was not expecting that, god. i feel so bad for kid and killer now. Poor killer... Kidd going to cut sick once he is free of that sea stone. I wonder where the rest of his crew are. |
| I was definitely not expecting that big reveal, the SMILE fruit can really act as a mask to hide one's identity. Looks like next episode is gonna be action-packed as well (hopefully with some good animation), can't wait! |

| So that's how Killer's laugh sounds like |
| Lmao I forgot we don't already know that it's Killer I was like tf these dudes making a big deal out of, didn't we know this but we didn't lol |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| Wow, so that was Killer. |
 |
| Just as shocking in the manga, no one saw that coming. |
 |
| Yet another great but shocking reveal in this arc. I can't wait till they get to THAT reveal. Wano's story continues to surprise us with many twists and turns and we are not even in the middle of this story arc yet. |
  |
| It was obvious from the start, atleast for me, but I never expected that Killer to have eaten a smile fruit. Kid breaking down over Killer was emotional, and I could see both of them getting development. Wano is really shaping up to be one of the best arcs. |
 |
| I still can't get over the fact that Zoro continues to have problems with any non-grunt swordsman. Supposedly Zoro graduated from training by the Strongest Swordsman in the World, Dracule Mihawk. I guess that either Zoro was a poor student or Mihawk's abilities as a swordsman (or teacher) are overrated,,, |
kevin_video said: Today's episode covered chapter 944, pages 2-13. You are honestly blinded by always constantly comparing manga and anime ratio's. Yes the anime episode covered 13 pages of a chapter but look at how much careful attention and detail they used for the killer scene. In the manga if this episode had the same pacing, it would not have near as much impact. That also goes with the extended laughing smiles users, and the reactions on everyone's face when yasue died. Its all there to give the series it self more emotional impact and so far I think the studio has done pretty good job of making these scenes stand out even more so then the manga. There were a few parts where they used recap and recycled scenes in an obvous effort to extend the episodes but those were way back in act 1. So far act 2 has been pretty satisfying. |

I was pertaining to a part of the Fandom it self, not specifically you. Have you seen CR, its redicilous, its like those people complain in every single episode. I understand everyone is entitield to their objective opinions but I see to much of this comparing manga and anime and I think alot of people fail to see things more clearly in some aspects. What are the reasons why certain episodes don't have the pacing of the manga? Well because certain scenes they extend or add material to emphesize or make that scene stand out more, on the other hand it could just be because a 1:1 ratio of that paticular scene panel by panel, when transformed into animation wouldn't have the same appeal or consistent flow especially if its an action scene coupled with dramatic moments. To exemplify emotion for example, anime has to uses longer shots of facial expressions then the way you interpert it in the manga. They are two very different story telling mediums which are represented in different ways and I think alot of people don't consider all these other variables when it comes to adapating source material and only focus on the chapters used for the production. Something else I wanted to bring up is when you watch anime with out thepreconceived notions of following the manga, you see things more clearly i think, your eyes are not clouded and you don't have the manga at the back of your mind perswaying you how a paticular pacing of the production should be. Granted yes there are Obvous horribly executed sequences that are easy to point out but I think your perception of the anime production would be a bit more accurate if you didn't have the manga to go by. Something I have always observed my self. Had I never read one piece and watched the G8 filler, i probably would have consistered it to be very canon and cohesevily connected to the story. And the end of the day it really don't matter what your watching be it filler or original story, if it entertains you enough to enjoy it, then the studio has done their job correctly in my opinion. |

Nah, I stay away from CR's peanut gallery of comments. They can be quite toxic, even back when I did briefly check them out years ago. They'll have to look elsewhere soon if things continue to go badly for AT&T as CR is likely going to disappear soonish. |

I'm not underestimating Kyoushiro - I'm ticked off that Zoro ALWAYS has trouble with any halfway decent swordsman. Zoro is strong but you have to realize by now that there are swordsman in the one piece world that are FAR stronger. Also with the reveal just now I can say that he actually clashed with a supernova being killer. As well as Kyoushiro, both characters are reletavily on equal footing with zoro, maybe killer is a bit weaker but still a Super nova is a Super nova. It's not like he's having a hard time fighting fodder soldiers. That being said, there are characters that are impressibly more skilled and more formidable then zoro 10 times over. So in the future, don't expect him to be like a dominant powerhouse that can topple any swordsman. He's growing and for sure after wano, he will attain probably a huge boost of skill and ability upgrades. But he still has along ways to go. Also mihawk may have improved his haki control and skill as a swordsman which shows, but it doesn't matter because the weapons zoro carries are still far from the strongest blades. |

| Damn, I can't believe I caught up to the anime after not watching for almost a year. it feels like nothing happened until the last two episodes. |
 |
| The only 2 persons who would insult each other after such a long time could only be Zoro and Sanji. I missed their dynamic so much :D We also got some decent action of the straw hats besides Chopper which was also nice to see. As pissed as Zoro was after Yasu died I was so glad he launched an attack towards Orochi. Didn't expect Kyoshiro to appear in that moment. He's definitely strong and I'm sure Zoro will have a hard time with him. At first I couldn't really understand why Kid would surrender against some random underlings. But holy shit when he asked Kamazo what happened to him I knew who Kamazo really was. What an reveal. That wasn't on my radar at all. Kids crew means a lot to him, that was clearly to see in this scene. That's also the reason why Luffy got so pissed about it. I hope he kicks Queens ass and get finally out of that fucking prison. |
 |
| I was surprised of Orochi realizing, that guy genuinely tried to kill me. Wow, Killer, that’s very fucked up, Kid has lot of reasons to join the revolution. |
 |
| The Killer reveal was a real surprise, did not expect that. So why did he start working for Orochi, can they control people under SMILE influence? |
| I loved the gaze in Zoro's eyes. It looked very fearless and epic. He has really guts to stand up against anyone. I don't mind Orochi being sliced by Zoro, but there are many others who deserve that honor. Each person who hates him deserve a slash. It's sad what happened to Killer, but I don't feel bad for him. Hard to feel sorry for people who kills without any hesitation just because they are laughed at. The same goes for Kid, though I like him. He is a cool dude. However, it's devastating to see what the SMILE devil fruit does to a person. It's a very sad to see it makes you not capable to show any other expression than laughing. One can't get enough of Zoro x Sanji moments. These two are like oil and water. Browgoro and Mossjuro are some funny nicknames, but not very original. The idea have been these since the start. LOL. Even more hilarious are luffy's lying face As always the eps. are dragged. Next time, Luffy will throw punch against Queen, but blocked by another. Give it 5 more ep. before we see a real fight. ^^ |

| I was aware that the masked man was Killer from the beginning. When the animation of his fight with Zoro went around everybody was calling it the Killer and Zoro fight. To have him introduced around the time that we saw Kid in prison felt obvious with this knowledge. That's Killer and that's Kid. however, it was as soon as I heard his alias that I realized I wasn't supposed to know that. Further my friend confirmed that he didn't realize that either. I suppose knowing the plot twist doesn't really give it that much weight however because, it only holds the weight it does with the new smile knowledge. And with the knowledge of smiles in mind, that final scene was literally chilling. Making a bunch of people that we don't really know into laughing weirdos, that's one thing. But me realizing, before it was explicitly stated, that the supernova Killer had to have eaten one made me freeze. To be explicitly pursued as Killer hating his laugh to the point that he beats anyone who mocks it, not so different from Pica and Doffy actually, but also hiding his face only to be laughing constantly without his mask on.. To see from Kid's eyes as he sees what I can only imagine is his Zoro, his best friend in such a miserable state, while not knowing where any of his other nakama are... What we saw was what Kaido did to the supernovas he encountered before Luffy and Zoro. This could have or could be the Straw Hats. I can't help but feel that despair and appreciate seeing what such stubborn and strong dudes have turned into at the wrath of Kaido. It honestly gave me Moria vibes, what I can only imagine he felt as his crew was crushed under Kaido's palm, and what he lived through again with Absalom. I should also comment on the fact that I could feel Zoro's killing intent and it made for every move of his to be insanely engaging. I was on the edge of my seat, especially with the first projectile he shot at Orochi. Sanji clearly seeing something was up! |
| How long ago was it since the last time we saw the Strawhats fight together like that? That was awesome. I'm growing old but that's is something that I will always enjoy. Also, damn. So that's who that laughing creepy dude was. I can see it now man. Both Kid and Law has something personal against Kaido and Luffy is, well just being himself trying to be the superhero. Near the end of this arc it's gonna be the 3 of them again. |
 |
| Luffy, Kid, Law I can't wait for that trios to team up against Kaido, one that bugs me is why Killer can't talk normally? |
| So that's why they call it "SMILE". That's more than a little messed up. |

Usopp8000 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So it was KILLER ALL THAT TIME!!! Damn, couldn't have guessed that! And Also, we see finally the Straw-hats (excludes Chopper and Luffy) giving their Moves and defeats all those samurai of Orochi, since... Fish man Island? Damn that's been a while! Zoro vs. Kyoushiro. Kid and Killer together getting caught by Queen's underlings. Looking forward to the next Episode! Why did Kyoushiro block zoro's slash man I know you trying to keep up the act of being his underling but fam Kyoushiro himself much be more pissed than zoro cuz he knows yasu longer and more than zoro but I'm trying to understand is why protect him the plan doesn't depend on Orochi fully I'm pretty sure kaidou would go forward with the plan regardless that's the kind of person kaidou is, I'm seriously questioning this here also why couldn't no one put two and two together without having people explain why they are laughing like that jeez straw hats y'all showing the lack of brain cells the only one who said something decent was luffy there must be a reason why they are laughing |

| That Killer reveal. Looks like Zoro can't easily shake off Kyoushiro. |
| Whoa so that was Killer all along!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Man I love this! It's been literally years (IRL) since we got some battle teamwork involving almost all of the strawhats. They're a force to be reckoned with for sure, who else besides a select few of groups can go against the full force of Orochi's men (Excluding Kaido's subordinates) and expect 100% to deal with it successfully. The last part revealing that Kamazo was Killer is really impactful, especially hearing Killer hysterically laugh whilst Kid tearfully and furiously asked who had done all of these. Even though I've known this fact from the manga, the experience is surreal in the anime. Especially when Kid talked in such a pained manner, whilst crying, very uncharacteristic of the usual him, then again, he's in an unusual land where his closest ally has been given an unusual item to consume, the devilish SMILE fruit. |
