Such a sad episode. They took Oda-sensei's moving story and really made it into something great.

This arc was so sad. Chopper's past is pretty horrible.

For me the best background of one piece, and the most emotional story I have ever seen in anime, I was in tears almost the entire 85/86 episode.

Very sad backstory for Chopper, but it has hope. I never thought Wapol would be such a big villain, but now I really want to see him be taught a lesson.

I knew I was going to cry! Chopper's past is pretty awful and sad, but there is that underlining hope that can't be ignored.

Wapol should be ready for a beating now. His 20 doctors aren't with him right?

Same here, only they poured out when Chopper saw Hiluluk's hat and he got the silent memory flashback. And this is, like, the 20th time I see these episodes (most likely more than 20). Goes to show how much of a great story it is when it's just as sad every frickin time I see it.

I also raged with hate against Wapol when he laughed at Hiluluk's death. Baka Waporu.

It's like you have to have a horrible past to be a straw hat pirate, but it is these horrible times that the characters go through that make them stronger and drive them and that is really motivational to me and is really one of the things that makes One Piece such a great show

Also, that quote from Hiluluk was incredible.

That Wapool is quite an example why monarchy can be bad. He's selfish, stupid and doesn't care about other people. Why the heck he even bothered to return to island where everyone hates him? Obviously he thought he'll subjugate everyone by force and will live like some thick forever. But this time there's Luffy & co visiting this island, so fatty's plans are doomed.

One of the very best episodes so far and I quite honestly doubt there will be many episodes as good as this one through the series. One Piece is still improving in its exposition of emotions and the flashback story was amazing. The character of Hiluluk and his suicide is going to be one of my favorite parts of this show. And fuck, Chopper had a horrible past indeed. Damn. Ten points out of ten.

Aaand I ended up crying like a little girl once again. I still can't stop wondering at how well One Piece pulls off the transitions between retarded (and funny) goofiness, epic fights and incredibly touching moments like the one we witnessed in this episode. Mad props to Oda.

I've seen some depressing movies/anime in the past but damn I never thought that this little flash back would be one of the few to nearly put me to tears. Very sad, and very inspirational story. This is my third time watching this arc, re-watching all of One Piece again for the heck of it, and it still leaves the same impact as it did the first time I saw it. Exceptional story telling and voice acting, Ave Maria at the end was a nice touch.

Best quote of the episode, best moment of the episode, and one of the best of the series. Otherwise, can't say it touched me or did anything for me. Maybe it's because I recall it from the manga, maybe it's because of idiotic decisions by the characters (okay Hiluluk), or maybe I just don't have a soul. I don't know.

Oh man.
I was not expecting that.

Hiriluk's speech made me really tear up.

I don't even know why, it just did.
Best moment of One Piece thus far, for sure.
