| So, I know manga readers are going to be a bit upset about the quality of this episode but let’s set that aside for now and focus on the ending which is what people really were waiting for. TOEI is saving there budget clearly for the next 4-5 episodes anyways, so some sacrifices have to be made in order to give us PEAK!! So, it’s finally happened. At long last, the secret has been revealed and luffy is undergoing some sort of metamorphoses which seems to imply him being Joyboy. Now without any context of future story lines, there are some interesting things to point out in this episode if you pay attention. The smile is not indicative of luffy's normal smile, which seems to suggest that something else is causing this rare occurrence, probably most notably resembles the will of D. Also, a hard pill to swallow here, but Luffy did basically die here. His heart actually stopped. It’s probably more equivalent to cardiac arrest, but if it wasn't for this unknown phenomenon that is happening within luffy, he seriously would have been truly dead. This is by far the closest this man has ever come to actual death in the series. Now history will be made next week and I am not exaggerating when I say this is probably one of the greatest moments in the entire series coming up. |

AhriTheS3xyFox said: NO GODDAMN RE-CAPS THIS EPISODE after the opening?! Gosh damn, Luffy was defeated :"(, hearing heartbeat, a unique SFX I must say than the one you hear from Monet's heart beat on punk hazard. Surprised to hear a narrator announcing victory for a villain. Love the Sakura effects too. Without surprise Kaido is mad at CP0 for ruining his fight, and was going to kill him anyway, knowing how he killed the old lady from before who had interrupted his fight between Oden. But of course it was too good to be true, from no-recaps, when we get a re-cap later on in this episode. The CGI Kaido's cape is the most unappealing, they re-used the same shot 3 times with still image crowds. And especially the fact that from last episode, they went out with the quality. I love my clean and pure 100% hybrid free Yamato <3. Yamato clearly saved this episode WOAH?! WHat is that DRUM at the end?! Why's Luffy all smokey? Why did his hair turn some kind of fluff?! WHAT?! Alright scratch everything I said about the quality, pretty much the last 3 minutes, Yamato's speech with Momonosuke, and the first few minutes of the episode were great.  Here we go folks, let's get dancing. Bang those drums!!!!!! Switch to hybrid form and go crazy, ITS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| Ep was eh until the last few mins HYPE at the end tho. Luffy looks awesome. Joyboy has returned baby!! The preview says it all hahah, no need for spoiler tags anymore I guess XD Next ep will be insane I'm sure |
 |
jtredenick said: Lmao I know XD I was like go away CGI KaidoWhy is Kaidos flying animation so choppy and gross.. it's like they lost the funding in animation for this episode XD I know next episode will be amazing!! GEAR 5 BABY!! ITS BEEN 24 YEARS IN THE MAKING, LETS GO |
|
| I had to laugh when Kaido said "this is boring", because he was exactly right; we had to endure the same old dragging out of scenes just to waste time and the anime extended the scene where Luffy deflated for some reason. The rest of the episode was equally bad; way too much of ugly-ass CGI Kaido and then the last 3 minutes went on forever; we didn't need all that tension just to have a predictable cliffhanger ffs. |
So we can finally hear it ..... the drums of liberation |
 |
| finally!! I've been waiting for this moment for so long!! The soundtrack sounds so good as well! I can't wait for luffys peak!! HYPEHYPEHYPE |
 |
| ep was jus aight but the last few minutes were kino. got goosebumps when the drums of liberation started playing. hope next ep goes brazy the teaser was aighttt but it was jus a teaser so my expectations r open |
| Never seen a source spoil one of its biggest reveal as much as Toei have. Another episode where the last 3 minutes make up for it; drums were solid tho, hopefully next week delivers with gear5. Can already tell the OP fanbase is about to become even more obnoxious. Also hard to say what's worse, CGI Kaido or the close up stills. |
 |
| i heard the drums and i came running , i can't wait for next week sorry anime only this has been like the worse kept secret |
 |
A small price to pay for salvation. |
