Such a fitting ending to an awesome story arc. It was beautiful, I cried. Funny that One Piece is the first anime that gets me to cry. People really underestimate it.

That was slightly over dramatic, I thought. I realize that Sanji owes a hell of a lot to the head chef. But, I just can't help but think it could have been a little more subtle. But, then again, subtlety isn't exactly a shounen trait.

Agreed, the violins and everyone crying was just too much. It would have been nicer to have the flashbacks, then Sanji maybe shedding a tear at 'Don't catch a cold' and him just being all 'Hmmkay', getting on the boat and then cutting to the Head Chef dude crying a bit rather than all the over dramatics.

I think the dramatic ending was just perfect, I mean, Zeff really has done a lot for Sanji. This shows that Sanji really cares, aww.

I thought it was really cool and touching since he let go of his pride and thanked Zeff after all those years.Not over dramatic at all in my opinion.

Nice ep. Glad to see that Sanji has joined the crew, bringing the count to 5, even though I don't wanna count Nami.

I wanna see Usopp and Zoro again. // Based on the flag it showed at the end of the ep, I'm guessing that the place Nami's heading to has something to do with one of those villains it flashes in the opening credits (if you look closely.)

The opening credits are so full of spoilers. I'm sure we all knew Sanji, Nami, Usopp, and Zoro would join the moment we saw them.

Damn the parting was sad. But it will be great to see Sanji everytime, as a main character. Music was fitting greatly. Good conclusion to this arc.

Episode 30:


Half of the first episode: The cooks and Zeff tries to kick Sanji out in order for him to join Luffy as the cook in his crew but Luffy won't accept him unless he says it himself :3
The last second half: Yosaku returns and tells Luffy that he know where Nami is headed which is Luffys next destination but before that Sanji decides to join Luffys crew in order to find All Blue. Leaving the cooks and Zeff in a heartfelt and tearful goodbye and joins Luffy on his road to becoming Pirate King :3

Before the end we see Nami returning to her homeisland with a pirate flag flagging and thus "to be continued"

I cried so much watching this episode again, up until now I have only gotten tears when Usopp joined the crew and now it's Sanjis turn to make me sobber TwT
A really super great episode, I just love One Piece infinitely much <3<3<3... ;'3
Next Arc here we come >_____<

A very touching finale to this arc, everyone at the restaurant is going to miss Sanji.

Overall this arc was fine, I was thinking about switching to the manga once I finished this, but I did some digging and finally decided to keep going for now.

This may of very well been my favorite episode. Sanji is such a complex character. I absolutely loved how both Sanji and Zeff retrospected on their past before they had to bid farewell. And then as Sanji is walking through the crowd of stoic cooks, Patty and Carne attack him, Kuwabara vs Yusuke style. Clearly as a way of showing their love. Sanji makes it to the boat straight faced until Zeff calls to him and he breaks down. From Sanji and Zeff crying everyone goes down like dominos, each cook crying. That was the best farewell scene I've seen. It both demonstrated the relationship and kindness Sanji and the cooks felt, as well as it shattered the roles of how men "should" act. Very touching.

I had to put some real thought into the scene where the cooks were insulting Sanji's dish despite loving it and Zeff telling him he won't be at his level ever. But I think I get it. It's the only way to get to Sanji, telling him he's great and it's time to leave and follow his ambitions won't do anything. Instead they tried to scare him off, but counter to that it was when Sanji heard how much they respect him and want him to go, to leave behind the chains of kindness that Sanji is working to pay back and go to the Grand line, and from this he decided it was time to leave. I am however curious on Luffy's change to not bothering him about being their cook at all during the episode. Right now I think I'll chop it up to him, as always, having a fantastic awareness of how everyone feels and acting accordingly. I really loved Luffy and Yosuko's dance when Sanji announced he'd go with him.

Seriously, that was a fantastic episode. Sanji is great! I also thought the fishman foreshadowing for next episode was pretty cheeky.

It first looked like they were ingrates but the moment Patty started "spitting" out his soup, I knew that it was a ploy to get Sanji to not hesitate on leaving to follow his dreams. They all struggled to keep that facade but the very moment he stood before their ship outtta here, Sanji let all of his feelings of gratitude towards Zeff all out. Even if they say that manly farewells need not tears, this farewell is manly enough to make me cry alongside them.

Arlong Park is in view! Nami, whatchu up to~?

Baratie arc is an impressive, huge leap forward in writing over previous weaker arcs. Every moment is as inspired - both hilarious and melancholic. A real emotional rollercoaster

I'm dead-ass serious, the non-fighting/battle episodes are great. But the fighting episodes bore me and drag on.

Sanji is now in the crew. It was sad he had to leave Chef Zeff. They were like a family. Good thing is Luffy got another friend on his side and both has almost similar dreams.

Nami is back in the story. She is a fool. But still hope she survives.
