| Wow that second half completely outshined the manga. I didn't feel sad when Pedro died in the manga but anime managed to do it. Great episode! |
| Damn Pedro, manly tears are shed for you. |
 |
| RIP Pedro. Looking forward for Luffy vs Katakuri but before that, can't wait to see Carrot time to shine. |
| It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person. |

| Such a beautiful episode, I was very satisfied with it. AhmedHan said: What a sacrifice! I have a confusion about Perospero making a raft with his candy powers and riding it on the sea (around 7:36). Since the candy raft is made by his devil fruit powers, wouldn't it break up or melt down when it touches to the sea? For example, in the Thriller Bark arc, as soon as zombies swallow salt, they were purified. This was explained as, since the salt was making the same effect of the sea, the kage-kage powers were weakened. Also, in the Marineford war, Moria's zombies were neutralized by making them swallow sea water. On the other hand, Aokiji's ice were able to stand still for more than one week on the sea. As well as Akainu's meteors can boil sea water. Can anyone explain the contradiction here? It is a very good observation. If we were to follow sea water neutralises devil fruit, then they could've simply threw chopper and brook into the sea. Now I am also interested in an explanation |

| Tbh, I never liked One Piece in its starting years. It was more like a 7/10 or an 8/10 anime for me, but after this whole cake island arc it has easily secured a position in my top 10 of all time. This is my favourite OP arc yet, even better than Impel Down or Water 7 arcs. |

| May the force be with you Pedro. Sentimental episode, for a moment I thought that they were all dead. Now the thing is getting rid of Katakuri. |
 |
| I did not expect this outcome.. Pedro's flashback was beautiful, loved how we got to see the interaction he had with Roger. ''The will of P'' will surely stay alive and accompany Straw Hats in the future <3 |

But my guess is that the density of the element is too big for the water to negate it. |
| That Katakuri never said even one word from the entire episode, shows how much he's a GOAT. |

| RIP Pedro, thank you for everything. The dawn will come! |
 |
| Pedro T-T And I liked him so much too! |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Carrot's reaction, she need to join straw hat |
 |
| That was one hell of an episode. RIP Pedro! :'< |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| One of the Greatest Episodes. |
| Now let the theories of Carrot becoming a candidate for the straw hats commence :) |
  |
| Pedro with the boss move to save everyone. The boom was massive! |
| That was actually not bad, I enjoyed seeing Roger and Doffy again. Also Katakuri kicking Luffy's ass is somehow statisfying to watch after he got so much help defeating stronger opponents than him lately. Will Pedro pull a Pell though and survive a bomb? We'll see. |
| Nice. They're focusing on something other than big mom saying 'WEDDINGUUU CAAAAKEEEEE!!!' |
| RIP Pedro. It's a pity he's sacrificed. |
| Really liked that episode. Not only they gave Pedro a lot of screentime, we also saw a bit more of the past. So much familiar faces like Doflamingo, Shanks, Dragon, Buggy and of course Roger himself. Pedros speech gave me goosebumps. But damn his sacrifice was so sad. I knew he had these bombs with him because he tried at first to use them for Tamago but even then it was a little bit unexpected for me. RIP Pedro. This will definitely have an important role. Poor Carrot at the end ;_; |
 |
| How I feel now... ;-; Rest in Piece Pedro. |
| I'm not falling for that again. I still remember Pell, that bird guy from Alabaster arc, near the end there's an explosion and everybody thought he died but then he didn't. Lol and I'm so proud of myself for remembering all this despite it being too long ago and I'm forgetful myself. So yeah, although there might be a slight chance that he did die cause since they departed from that giant elephant to rescue Sanji and Pedro volunteered to come, there's been so many foreshadowings of his death, all these red flags about he's not long to live and shit. If that's the case then RIP. |

| Pedro sacrificing himself like that…never saw that coming….. RIP Pedro |
 |
| Oh man, did not expect Pedro sacrificing himself in a literal suicide mission... |
  |
| Goodbye Pedro! He knew he didn't have a lot of time left considering he lost 50 years to Big Mom so he helped out Luffy and his gang one last time. |
 |
| This kinds of make up for the shitty previous eps Waiting for a happy ending for pudding |

| Damn this was such an amazing ep Pedro I have respect for you :( |
 |
| I knew this episode was going to be good. It had all the makings to be fascinating no matter how little of it was adapted from the manga. The Sunny has become a small boiling pot of built up chaos, Mom closing in to avoid, Katakuri and Perospero to be dealt with; how Luffy will get past his future vision and likely force him into the mirror especially, how the coup de vent would impact everything! Then, this episode also front loaded itself with Pedro death flags out the wazoo!! I would like to mostly talk about Pedro because he surprisingly took over the entire episode. It is not surprising that he died, setting him up as somebody who had little life force remaining, and by stating the Big Mom cannot place life force into other people if I recall correctly, he was a character that was quite frankly designed to die. Many episodes ago I messaged my friend about how I think he's going to die in the coolest way possible. By making him the one to defeat Perospero and linking his past with Perospero, we even got to hear about his ambition and resolve to die. He's happy this way, not unlike Ace was. With that set, this was honestly a pretty death rather than a devastating one because I think many of us saw it coming. In fact, it's the best way for him to go, everyone has their own turn, it was his! He was able to die for the future he and his allies wanted. Similar to his desire to die where he chose, there is a line in Ten: Tenhou-doori no Kaidanji which this reminded me of. “People want to live freely and die freely… It's nothing to be ashamed of… We’ll die when our time is up!” This obviously hurt most for Carrot, but, I have to wonder if Brook is conscious at all... The two made a brotherhood of sorts when they fought for the poneglyph. Will he come to have knowledge of what has happened or will somebody need to tell him? That skeleton really cared about Pedro, man… Either way, the other aspect was certainly Pedro’s connection to Roger and Oden. We got to see Roger walking and talking, we got to see Pedro’s reaction to the death of Roger, and the effect that Roger intended, to inspire. Pedro really went out just like his pirate hero, huh? All to keep Luffy searching for the true meaning of freedom... By the way, I thought about Pell like another user here did, but there has been notable death in the post time skip. In this single arc we’ve had a handful of admittedly unimportant characters die, at the hands of Mom, or at the hands of Vito. I would like to think Oda learned from one of his most hated decisions ever, and the fact that death has become a more frequent part of One Piece makes me have hope and belief that two more have gone down. It was also great to see all of our old friends reacting to Roger’s death. Buggy bawling his eyes out initially gave me some shivers, I wondered how much Roger meant to him. However, afterwards I thought this was inconclusive for that kind of reading. During Impel Down, he cried for Bon Clay’s sacrifice but moments later put it behind him and began to party! He has always had these moments of humanity where he'll cry because Luffy has put faith in him, or because he has been reunited with his friends, or even if he has lost a new friend, but moments later he will always be able to put that aside for his selfish inclinations and desires. He’s just an emotional guy with some sense of goodness deep down inside that never wins out. That's how I understand the character at least, so seeing a single frame of his tears is still going to make me hold my reservations. Shanks however cried just like Luffy did when he beat Usopp, pulling the straw hat down in front of his eyes. I liked seeing that connection between the two. For whatever reason there has been a choice to tease Crocodile from behind. I think this, and last time we saw him, it was his back. I will always appreciate seeing my man even if it is as sparse as that but I do wonder why we are being deprived like this! Doflamingo and Dragon were there, Moria looked to have more of a chin, and Mihawk looked good as a younger man! That said, Mihawk still had his golden, spiral eyes which means if the Hakuba eye theory holds any weight; the theory that Mihawk has tamed an inner demon to control at all times, he had already tamed it all the way back when Roger was executed. Well, then again, if canonical! I'm not exactly sure what the filler in this episode was. To touch on the non-Pedro, Katakuri not taking damage made me think he was using his future vision to predict where he would be attacked and morphed his body accordingly to avoid the impacts preemptively. Similar to the fan theory that Buggy did so to avoid being cut by Mihawk’s black blade. Lastly, we got yet another shot of Jimbei picking up Nami to carry her, seeing the large amount of content with the two of them definitely sparks my interest. |
| God frigging dammit, we saw Roger's Oro Jackson and heard the dialogue from Believe in Wonderland! Rest in peace, Pedro. Your sacrifice won't go in vain! BELIEVE IN WONDERLAND! It was good to see the young faces of the legendary pirates of this time during Roger's execution. Shanks was crying hard, WB was drinking over the loss of a friend.. |
| Nooo ! I was expecting there to be a time where Pedro would be able to get back 50 years of his life back from Big Mom! Pedro in his mind foresee Luffy being a pirate king, so it's the closest thing he can get to Roger. Katakuris way of fighting was just mouth dropping for me, so unique, and skilled.And the concept of how his ability worked as well. |
| August 6th 2023: Biggest upset ever, deception, selfishness, or scammed, manipulated. Heavy damage costs, and more. Days since: 15 Last updated: 8/21/2023 One Piece Episode 1041 & 1042 & 1047 & 1048 & 95.75%/1049 & 1053 were a mistake and Uta brought the salvation -AhriTheS3xyFox |
| RIP Pedro. You'll be missed. :'( |
 |
| This ep was so moving The Gol D Roger's death scene showed the reaction of characters of series like buggy and shanks crying and Doffy and Moria being happy for new gen ....there was Crocodile for a instant too ig RIP pedro ;___; |
| Instead of waiting for the rest of his reduced lifespan to burn out, Pedro decided to go out in a blaze of glory for the sake of his friends and the beginning of a new dawn. His sacrifice really caught me off-guard because of how sudden it was and it was sad to see him go. I just hope that his death wasn't made in vain. If Perospero survived the incident unscathed, that'd be a big shame. |
 |
| Rip Pedro like he said one day we’ll all see how important his sacrifice was to save Luffy and the others It was also really cool to see that Buggy, Shanks, Doflamingo, Crocodile and Morio were all there at Roger’s execution |
 |
| We all know he didn't die, c'mon people this is one piece |
Aw, rest well, Pedro. You yourself were the dawn bringing us much light. Thank you for being such a badass... 💖😿  |
| RIP pedro, even tho legend never die Press F to pay respects |
