Gotta feel bad for people with arachnophobia this episode because HOLY FUCKKKK THEY COOKED WITH SATURN’S ENTRANCES. Jinwoo who? Nah, FUCKING SATURN IS MY AURA FARMER.

And Bonney… just being a goat as USUAL. Can’t wait for next week again.

Saturn makes landfall on Egghead with that terrifyingly satanic entrance from the pentagram! He even got aura during all those shots before he left his room inside the Navy ship. Super evil entrance. I've still got the chills inside my room. 🥶

Gear 5 Luffy finally K.O.'s Kizaru and sends him flying down the building! Bonney attacks Saturn and stabs him with a sword. How is their group going to escape now away from Saturn?? So cold! 🥶

Saturn's entrance may be the definition of demonic.

Luffy and Kizaru down for the count for the Warrior God of Science to shine. That was a close one for Luffy.

So the pacing is still as slow as molasses AND they're still doing recap specials. That six month break lookin' more and more pointless by the minute.

The last five minutes or so of this episode were pure hype. I'm glad Bonney was able to stab Saturn but I'm assuming he'll respond with far worse. Unfortunately it's the wrong kind of flashback next week, with another recap episode.

Goated. Cinema. Peak fiction. God I've waited so long to see this part animated and they did it justice. What a truly terrifying entrance.

The Luffy vs Kizaru portion of the episode was great too. Fuck the complaints I saw this past week on Shitter about how Toei is "overanimating" One Piece. I do NOT care, keep giving me more of this, Toei. Remember how dogshit pre-Wano One Piece used to look? So yeah, I'll take "overanimated" any day of the week.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

Episode was great, not as amazing as a lot of people hyped it up to be, the previous one was definitely better animated, but this one had more interesting narrative content.

Sanji shows off the unstoppable power that is his Lady-dar and he’s able to find Bonney in a flash. I wonder if he enhances this ability with his Observation Haki…

Before Sanji can get to her, Bonney has to deal with Vice Admiral Ponsky and Vice Admiral Bluegrass who uses the Ride Ride Fruit to control one of the Pacifistas back on Vegapunk’s side. Before she gets blasted, Sanji comes in and saves the day, with Vegapunk following close behind so that they can get Bonney to safety.

While Nami, Edison, and Usopp head out, it seems that Stussy still has business to take care of, and it might have to do with Kaku, who’s in a Bubble from the Bubble Gun (meaning that he’s weakened due to being a Devil Fruit user).

Zoro is still busy fight against Lucci while Luffy is simply playing around with Kizaru. While that’s going down, it seems that St. Jaygarcia Saturn, Godhead of Science & Defense is making his move and causes some kind of tremble that is felt by Jimbei along with those who possess Devil Fruit powers.

He tells the Pacifistas to stand down (since the Five Elders have the highest level of authority) and a pentagram appears on Fabriophase. An order is given saying that nobody below Commodore is allowed to see him, and it seems that anybody who breaks that order is getting killed by St. Saturn. St. Saturn shows up on the pentagram and transforms into a spider-like creature with bull horns, along with the clouds circling him indicating that he’s achieved Zoan Devil Fruit awakening.

Kizaru really tries to attack Vegapunk thinking that Luffy won’t still kick his ass. Luffy comes up with yet another move that showcases his liberty and badassery and hits Kizaru with Gum Gum Star Gun. At first Kizaru thinks that he dodges, but similar to Gum Gum Jet Culverin, Luffy loops his arm back around and CLOCKS Kizaru, smashing him into a building and ending the fight before Fifth Gear runs out.

Lastly, we see flashbacks of St. Saturn ordering Vegapunk to take away Kuma’s free will, and due to this, Bonney rushes at St. Saturn and stabs him.

I’M EXCITED FOR MORE ONE PIECE!

They animated Saturn's entrance very well, but I'm really disappointed in music they chose for this moment. I thought it would have more evil and demonic rhythm, as it was with Lulusia destruction moment.

peak fucking piece. they did saturn so right, his entrance was cinema. dude was aura farming the whole episode with minimal activity. really felt for bonney the whole episode though, and then she hit her breaking point at the end. even the fodders were looking so good this episode. this director is definitely one of the best. don't mind the recap next week because we got pure cinema 2 weeks in a row.

Didn’t expect a pentagram, does that mean hell exist in OP?

Saturn has the same cloud around him like Luffy, but so does Lucci. Hmm.

Next week, we are still getting recaps after a 6 month break?? This is some ass.

Kizaru is down, and Saturn has finally made his move! This episode is so peak. The direction and animation of this episode are on point, and it is great at delivering Bonney's emotions at the end. Luffy's new attack, Star Gun, is shown clearly here in the anime, taking down Kizaru.

Bonney uses a new technique called NDE, which stands for near-death experience, on the Navy soldiers to destroy them mentally. Sanji saves Bonney from a controlled Pacifista, whom she still thinks is her dad, and is helpless against them. Sanji uses his observation and senses Bonney from great distance. Sanji is so fast with his Moon Walk that he saves Bonney from the Pacifista at he last split second. The other pacifistas holds back the two Vice Admirals while Sanji and Bonney escape onto the Vegatank with Franky, Vegapunk, and Atlas. Their escape was cut off by Kizaru, who ran from Luffy after getting tired. Vegapunk manages to dodge Kizaru's laser, but the island clouds are destroyed, sending them crashing down below. Luffy manages to keep up with Kizaru in their duel by dodging his lasers or turning them into rubber and deflecting them. Luffy chases after Kizrus and enlarges his left arm. Kizaru then shoots a massive laser at Luffy, who dodges last millisecond and then spins around. Luffy comes up with an idea and punches Kizaru in the head with the spin and enlarged arm empowered with both armament and Conqueror's Haki. The Star Gun attack stretches Kizaru's head just like what happened to Kaiddo, and Kizaru starts seeing stars, the admiral himself knows he is in trouble. Kizaru is sent flying into a massive building and is probably knocked out. Luffy reaches his time limit in Gear 5 again and transforms into his old man form, like almost every time he uses Gear 5.

Saturn after teleporting to the island with a dark magic circle, sees Luffy defeat Kizaru and mutters "Nika". He orders all the pacifistas to stand down as his hierarchy is even higher than Vegapunk's. He cuts off Sanji's group after transforming into a giant spider monster hybrid. Vegapunk recognizes him as Saturn, then Bonney remembers him from seeing Kuma's memory and realizes it was Saturn who caused all of her father's pain and suffering. It's all Saturn's fault, he was the one who ordered Vegapunk to take away Kuma's free will to become a cyborg weapon for the government. Bonney picks up a nearby Katana and stabs Saturn with all her pain, grief and fury. Absolute cinema!

Yo, I can't get enough of G5 Luffy's laugh, I swear. I feel like I'm addicted to it at this point. If there was a notification or a ringtone for his laugh, I would've put one of them on my phone, haha. His laugh aside though, there is something that confuses me. So, One Piece is currently supposedly in its final arc, yet Luffy is struggling this much against a mere admiral. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that admirals are weak by any means, it's just that there are still the Five Elders and Imu above them. If after all this time, Luffy is only able to go toe-to-toe with an admiral, how will this anime ever end, when even the protagonist still isn't close to the major antagonist's power?

Luffy aside though, the way Sanji kept protecting Bonney throughout the whole episode was very adorable. The way he saved her from Bluegrass's beam and the way he cushioned her fall from the Vegatank's crash were both really sweet.

Speaking of Bonney, I'm loving her more & more with every new episode. If she were actually an adult woman acting impulsively every single time, I think I would’ve hated her. But the thing about Bonney is that she's actually a child growing herself using her fruit, so she can't help but think and act like a child. That's what makes it so cool. Anyone who sees her might be bothered by how often she puts herself in harm’s way and needs others to protect her because of how impulsively she acts. But the unique and cool thing is that she's actually a child, so she can't help but think and act this way, haha.

Bonney aside, I think this is actually the 2nd time we’ve seen an Elder's power, aside from the first time versus Sabo. We've already seen that black goo form, but I never knew they had the ability to both go gigantic and teleport. Their powers never fail to amaze me. Most of all, I was really surprised by how Saturn looked when he was gigantic. Not just because of his size, but the way he had a cloud surrounding his massive body, almost as if he were a Zoan. It was really weird and confusing, but I mean, it's One Piece and it’s an Elder, so I guess we can't help but be curious about the mysterious unknown, haha.

The Elders aside, the cliffhanger was illegal. I was so surprised by how Bonney actually managed to hurt Saturn, with actual red blood spilling from his injury. I mean, I’m glad they still bleed red like the rest of us, but what was really confusing is that I couldn't tell if Bonney actually hurt Saturn or if he allowed himself to get hurt. Because he spilled red blood, it makes you think she actually managed to hurt him. But then you see him with no reaction at all, which makes you doubt whether she really did, you know?

The cliffhanger aside, I still can't believe Zoro and Lucci are still fighting, haha. I read somewhere that the manga version of their fight was literally just a few panels, yet here it seems like they can’t stop stretching things out, haha. Not that I’m complaining—the fight’s really cool. I’m just surprised Zoro is still having such a hard time against Lucci when he should actually be able to defeat him more easily, not face this much difficulty. But it’s One Piece, so I guess it can't be helped to stretch it out a bit, haha.

Zoro didn’t use his third sword in the manga but the fight was still incredible. Glad the episode's getting a good response as well, some Sanji fans went overboard with the Toei hate recently for similar things.

Sound design has room to improve but Toei’s still on a roll.

Bonney’s sequence was brilliant and easily a standout. Saturn had a great entrance.
