Imagine ending up being the sandworm, he lost at RSP lol.


I like how other shows can have amazing animation every episode but every time this one has a flashy ep people are acting like it's some fkn mircale lol (even if its mostly just chaos) I mean the coloring is great, but dropping to like 10 fps and zooming in a lot !=HQ Zoro part pretty cool tho^ Only way for him to win is getting insulted by sanji x)

All in all. A great episode after like 10 episodes of nothing. I can't wait for the actual message tho but knowing this show it will probably take another 20 episodes

Loved the episode. I liked how Sanji calling Zoro “deadweight” was the last straw that pushed him over the edge, making him mad enough to one-shot Lucci. Makes you think he really could’ve ended it whenever he wanted to, if he actually felt like it, haha.

@kumadababy I am not wrong, you just poorly interpreted my comment. More effort does not necessarily mean better.

"Overanimation" is objectively bad.

When the camerawork is all over the place and you can't understand what's happening but there are cool special effects everywhere, that's shit animation, no matter how fluid it is. That's like sticking a banana on a museum wall and watching people praise it.
@Nori25 if you can't understand what's happening it's a you problem,this is so easy to understand and there is nothing called overanimation

Well this was definitely one for the ages! Every single second of this episode was breathtaking, I feel like even my huge expectations were exceeded by the scene of the Five Elders arriving, and Zoro vs Lucci at the end was giving me Zoro vs King vibes
Also Dorry and Brogy coming in to save Luffy like they did with the giant fish was amazing too
This episode will go down in history for One Piece for sure

toei absolutely cooked with the gorosei's transformations and anyone who thinks the manga touches this episode is objectively wrong because holy shit, did they elevate so much. all the perspectives they used were so good. nusjuro was moving like prime messi this episode. not only did the luffy side look amazing, but zoro vs lucci too. cheers vincent, episode of the year.

This episode is absolutely insane! The entrance of the Five Elders with their transformation is epic. Everything in this episode is animated to its peak. Luffy vs the Elders, Zoro vs Lucci are both incredible; both fights were extended compared to the manga.

Saturn can't deal with Luffy and, at the same time, needs to stop Vegapunk's message, so he resorts to his trump card, summoning the rest of the Elders. Four black lightning strikes down on Egghead, creating pentagrams on the floor where the Elders all emerge. They are all in their awakening beast forms of mythical yaoguai from Japanese and Chinese folklore. Saturn is a Gyuki, a half ox and spider hybrid. Mars is an Itsumade, which is a giant lizard with wings. Warcury is a giant bore creature called Fengxi, a Chinese mythical monster. Nusjuro is a Bakotsu, which is a white skeleton horse. Peter is a gigantic sandworm like the ones from Dune. The Five Elders unite in an epic scene just like the manga; the colours of their transformation make them eerie. Luffy is against all five Elders alone, but he is still laughing. Luffy looking amazing in Gear 5 with this animation, absolute cinematic quality.

Nusjuro runs around the coastline and disables the Pacifistas with his ice sword without damaging them. He is just aura farming with his hybrid zoan form. Mars flies up and enters the barrier which cause Zoro and Lucci to notice an enormous and disturbing Haki approaching. They briefly stop their battle after Lucci disarms Enma from Zoro. They continue to fight equally with blinding speed. Vincent Chazard absolutely did a fantastic job at directing and animating this scene. They even added Lucci using Tempest kick against Zoro and kept clashing. Jinbe trieies to stop Zoro from fighting so they can all leave. After Zoro overhears Sanji calling him a dead weight, it triggers a nerve in Zoro. Zoro utilising his observation Haki to dodge hand pistol Madara from Lucci. Zoro recovers Enma, imbues his swords with armament and conqueror's haki, he unleashes new techinique called "Three Sword Style Huhuva madara Hunt", another Buddhist reference to defeat Lucci. Toei and Vincent went crazy for these two pages of the manga, creating Zoro's best battle scene, equal to that when he was up against King.

Meanwhile, Sanji calls Nami and warns her about Mars heading into the Labriophase. Usopp uses his "Green Star Bamboo Javelin" to stop the Sunny from crashing. Toei makes the scene cute by animating Usopp's technique with a picture book style. Funny interactions between Nami, Robin, Chopper, Usopp, Brook and Lillith in this scene.

Now, Luffy is starting to struggle against Warcury, Peter and Saturn, as he gets swallowed by the giant sandworm. Brogy and Dorry arrive in time, and they team up with a technique called "Sun Saw" that cuts Peter into three pieces, freeing Luffy. Once again, the animation of their combination is fantastic. The animation and music for this episode are at their highest quality. 1144 episodes in, and One Piece just continues to deliver. Now I can't wait for next week for Luffy teaming up with the giants, they have finally met again and it's been since Little Garden, which was more than 1000 episodes ago. One Piece truly transcends anime and fiction!

MY EYES HAVE WITNESSED PEAK TODAY, OMG!!

Freakin' awesome masterpiece of an episode! And this is probably the most "Nightmare Fuel" episode of One Piece, ever! 😱 Gorosei entrance was so majestically animated by one of the GOAT animators, Vincent Chansard. This episode was a sight to behold. I was feeling so terrified during the entire sequence of the Gorosei summoning. 😰 I was truly in awe after witnessing all Five Elders together with their epithet, along with "Highest Authorities of the World Government". That was beyond awesome.

THEY USED THE EPIC SOUNDTRACK FROM EPISODE 1089 WHEN IMU ERASED THE KINGDOM OF [redacted] FROM THE MAP! THANKS FOR CHOOSING THAT SOUNDTRACK, TOEI!!

Despite the overly complex designs of the Gorosei, there was no CGI involved in animating them. The animation team is unstoppable, and they've definitely saved up the good stuff for this episode after sacrificing some quality from the previous eps.

Nusjuro was COLD af!! Slicing and freezing the Pacifistas to disable them, and yet he performed all these feats effortlessly in the blink of an eye! 😱 Nusjuro was aurafarming like crazy in here, holy smokes!!

And if that wasn't enough, Toei even went full throttle in animating the conclusion of Zoro vs. Lucci! Slow down! This was insanity! xD

The episode wasn't even over yet, as Dorry & Brogy arrived on the scene to save Luffy, and they finally met each other once again after two years (which is basically over 2 decades if we're going to talk about the episode count). Wow, the two giant warriors slammed Saturn and Warcury so hard, haha, take that!

I'm still overwhelmed with emotions after watching this episode. xD Might be Episode of the Year for me right now. I'm going to rewatch this episode over and over again until I'm satisfied. xD And I also want to see the video reactions of some of the anime-only content creators for this episode, hehe.. 😁 This episode is peak. So freakin' peak.. 😭

The Gorosei entrance was orgasmic and the Zoro glaze is insane too. The whole episode just flows so smoothly that even the preview for the next episode looks bland compared to it.

Absolute garbage. Why can't these animators at Toei just do their job and replicate the manga? They think they're doing a Tiktok edit. Is it really that hard to just do a normal looking animation? I was so excited for the Gorosei summoning but it end up looking extra goofy. I hate Toei and I hate Chansard.
@Nori25 People like you do not deserve to be anime fans. Please explain to me what "normal animation" is and what the fuck a "tiktok edit" is.

You do not know a THING about animation, much less the amount of effort that goes into it, even less how good of an animator Chansard is. You one piece fans CONSISTENTLY get the greatest animation of all shonen since Wano, and yet people like you will still whine and claim they hate the series despite the anime being the ONLY reason one piece is even relevant.

Never speak again. And get your eyes checked because even 12 year olds could understand it.

Criticizing should still be allowed.

You can like/enjoy what you want, but you also don't have to glaze that /so much. 🤔


(Also I'm not hating the anime adaption or something like that, btw.)

You aren't the one to talk when you don't even watch OP to begin with. Bro thinks that being an anime fan, you must only speak of positive things about anime and have no criticism or stuff you can dislike at all. Your logic is ass and so are your takes.

@GTRaijin If you would even use your brain for more than 2 seconds you'd realize most of my reviews on this site are CRITICAL. I have never stated that "only positive things can be said", but this guy is blatantly disrespecting both toei and the wonderful work by one of the hardest working and most genius animators out there. There criticism is one thing but "I hate Toei and I hate Chansard" IS NOT CRITICISM. I do NOT have to spell this out for you.

You weren't even the person I was talking to yet you are so offended that you feel the need to call my logic and takes ass (despite the fact that I know what I'm talking about considering I actually know shit about animation and have researched it for months on end.)

"Your logic is ass and so are your takes" For dismantling someone blatantly hating. Okay bro. If my takes are ass then your entire comment is dogshit.

I'm sorry but the way that Toei is constantly glazing Zoro has gotten ridiculous. They gave his fight with Lucci - which isn't really that important in the grand scheme of things - better animation than even Luffy vs Kizaru. That aside I was also disappointed that the Gorosei summoning scene lasted like 3 whole minutes with a ton of unnecessary flashing lights. The stalling hurt an otherwise great scene.

Also I'd complain that the Gorosei's DF forms look way too colorful as if a kindergartner colored them, but that's Oda's fault not Toei's.

Okay, sure. I guess I agree him straight up saying he hates toei and that one animator is going overboard, he should have just said that he hates and dislikes the style, but everything else he mentioned is pretty valid.

No offense, but you actually do sound like saying that people aren't anime fans if they have anything to complain about. I'm not a native English speaker, so maybe I misunderstand something.

I've been watching OP weekly for 13 years and I do like it, but ever since Wano arc came out, the animation just keeps getting more ridiculous in a bad way (fights are mostly just overuse of unnecessary and excessive lights, beams, bright colors and blurry, messy view and on top of that you have DBZ type sound effects), it doesn't even feel like I'm watching One Piece anymore since you can barely understand what the actual shit is going on with all the over the top effects.
