They briefly mentioned the "will of D" a few episodes ago. Perhaps that might have something to do with it? eh. There is definitely a connection there.

By the looks of things so is his brother. I also agree that they shouldn't have identified Ace until right at the last second so watchers could have the same reaction as everyone else, but meh, still good episode nonetheless.

Luffy's power is so useless compared to Ace's. Luffy would have almost no problems for most of the series so far if he had that power.

Also, like someone mentioned above, this episode would have been better if they didn't mention that they were brothers over and over throughout the episode (even though I already knew before watching).

Well, now that we're seeing the naming conventions, I'm betting Gold D. Roger was Luffy's dad... or maybe he was his grandpa depending on how much time has passed.
Or maybe it's just a coincidence, and they're using the naming convention to draw parallels between the two characters.

Anyway, I wonder what the "Will of D" is, despite something carried between all three of them.

Luffy, Ace, and Smoker, what a trio of characters

I'm so excited for the rest of this arc!

"I don't need to live a thousand years, I just need to live today." Really cool words of wisdom, I wonder if they reflect Ace on a deep level, perhaps his philosophy on life? I find him really amusing, he's a weird mix of genuinely cool and genuinely dorky that I don't know if I've ever seen before.

The restaurant scene was one of my favorite in the series so far. My two favorite parts were when Luffy ate for like a minute as Smoker stood in front him and slowly thought to himself, while stuffing his face, trying to remember who he was and then spitting some out of shock and running away like a chipmunk. And second is when Ace walked through the building which the family eating and apologized for disturbing their dinner. Another highlight being when Ace used the poor lady who wanted to help him's dress to wipe up his face. How can a man so cool, do something as disgustingly absent minded as that, and then considerately apologize to a family he interrupted. Perhaps the hardest I've laughed at One Piece.
Also regarding the entire dynamic of Smoker and Ace, it's one of the things I've been wanting to see all of One Piece. Two guys who fight for (probably) just beliefs and dreams fighting each other. Neither are wearing an evil view on their sleeve yet both are in a vicious fight. When Luffy fights Smoker for real, assuming that happens, we'll probably get to see that in detail.

Seeing Luffy's expression turn from shock to absolute happiness knowing his big brother is here made me smile.

One final thought, if Crocodile is a poorly written character, or at least a shallow one(think of Wapol or Buggy) we're in for a massive disappointment. However, since OP isn't the kind of show to disappoint I'm assuming and expecting Crocodile to be someone on the tier of Arlong in all honesty which leads me to predict this arc will live up to Arlong arc if it stays as strong as these starting episodes have been.

Ace and Smoker reunited with their mutual target in a way none of them had ever expected. Who knew that Luffy would come in crashing into them and make them crash through several walls? If he can fight off a Desert Strawberry's poison, he'll be fine.

With Luffy being a rubber man, it's pretty surprising that his older brother would be a fire-controlling Logia user. He's awesome!
