Hehe nice episode. When Nami was about to get attacked by that zombie I expected Sanji to jump out of nowhere to save her. Because he tends to show up at times like those. And I was both right and wrong, Sanji did jump out, but he was a zombie penguin WTH?! XD

Lol, you're definitely looking forward to other moments. Because right now, its only the tip of the iceburg.

This episode was pretty entertaining. Didn't like the flashback with the fire weakness of zombie (that was a little too long).

Haha, anyone catch the sound effects Usopp and Nami were doing when they were climbing the stairs? Man, it reminded me of some old school video game, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I'm sure it was meant to be a reference to whatever that game was.

This episode was really funny. ^^ Is it just me, or the penguin/dog's seiyuu was really Hirata Hiroaki (Sanji)? I mean the zombie who 'saved' Nami. :P

I thought this episode was strait out of a wacky video game. I almost felt like I was playing myself. Some people harp on the animation in One Piece, I would argue it is one of the best since its style matches the theme of the story, and its just incredibly done. When Luffy makes that stance, you know some wild and wacky stuff is bound to happen.
I am looking forward to the Samurai zombie
and Zoro's battle. It is going to be sick. Greatest warriors of time is such a great feat to overcome for this wild haunted house adventure. Eiichiro Oda is one great story writer. The battle between Luffy and Gecko Moria is going to be insane as well.

I do not think that the penguin is Sanji. It is
a reincarnated penguin with an ugly face.

If you have read the manga, please do not spoil it, I for one certainly do not want to know.

I wonder what is Hogback's secret ingredient to bring back inanimate beings back to life. *wink*. I loved the wonder garden wild zombie's. You gotta have week zombies to face the weaker characters. I wonder if the kangaroo boxer was a reference to Sylvester's nemesis in Looney tunes.

But I hope at some point that Usopp shows that he has actually leveled up this arc, after all that drama of being so weak last non filler arc. I wish he would become more of a well trained alchemist/sharp shooter. He needs some kind of a mentor to look up too and learn from. To bad his father has not been around. There is so much potential in this story, I can see it just getting better with each episode. They always hold true to their style, and they always deliver in action. The upcoming fights scenes are going to be intense!

It was a good episode, but am I only one who was bothered by animation and 'art' in this episode? Usually I don't mind even if the quality drops abit, but this time I actually started thinking if the animators even have food in their home..

Does this even look like Nami to you?



Yeah, I read the manga and I know about the coming battles. They better be out of this world to make up what they did with this episode. *Glares at "Nami" again and shivers*

Mystery solved, I know who did it.

Was it just me or was this episode weirder than normal? I hope they start clearing things up soon. I haven't read the manga, and it seems that people who have know some idea about what's really going on, but this episode just seemed somewhat goofy to me. (Alright it's a goofy show, but still...)
I just can't wait until they get back to some serious action.

The comedy of the last two or three episodes has been significantly lacking and this is not an exception. I didn't like the episode. It didn't feel like One Piece. And while I was enjoying this arc a lot, there are lots of things in it that I believe correspond to another style of series. Not only in this aspect, but also in characters and even in fanservice shots.

I don't know who finds the marrying pig, Usopp farting and the zombie dance from the previous episode funny but I certainly don't. This is one of the very few instances in the series that actually made me cringe.

At least the plotline is going on well, I guess.

This episode alone had more bland character than any show entirely. Iirc some of these are fillers.

Umm, so does this mean Sanji is a penguin?? lmao XD

I'm guessing this ties back into the reason why Ryuma has the same mannerisms as Brook and the whole shadow stealing business. Damn, this arc is interesting.

Also loved the stuff with Lola...she's coming for Nami!!!

Not a bad episode but certainly the worst of Thriller Bark thus far. I just found the jokes to be more based on randomness and absurdity than character interactions and the thing I've loved most about this arc is the character interactions.

So Nami vs Lola has been set up which seems to set up the pink haired girl as an opponent for Robin, unless the structure is challenged and a guy fights her instead, kinda like Luffy fought Alvida in episode 1, but even then I think the fact that she was a monstrosity made things different then.

It seems the bad guys need to capture the Straw Hats alive to steal their shadows. The animals specifically mentioned that they couldn't kill them.

So, I think it was implied a spider creature is stealing the Straw Hats one at a time and Zoro caught onto it. Since he was aware it was following them, I wonder if he went with it on purpose.

Nami quickly showed off her navigator mind by noticing the wet grass and putting together where they were. I like how she clung onto Usopp's back as they fell later.

I keep waiting for Nami to use her Clima Takt against the animal zombies, she is easily the best at crowd control, she could conjure up a storm to take them all out. But, I'm glad she didn't yet because we got to see an unexpected ally in the dog penguin. He was a new part of the trio and being new, he refuses to give up his own ideals to be loyal to Moria. It was honestly my favorite part of the episode. All animals are normally pervs but this one seems to be a hopeless romantic just like Sanji. A true gentleman!

And, it seems I made some predictions thinking the jack in the box zombie said: "this isn't where we stole the treasure" when in reality it was a misunderstanding and the zombie actually said, "this isn't where we store the treasure", so oops. Unless Nami remembered wrong, but that makes more sense anyways.

I hope that Lola ends up getting hitched with that invisible lech in the end~

Brook might've turned into a mummy but the guy got off lucky compared to how Sanji ended up. When that Dog-Faced Penguin suddenly started to profess his creed of never harming a woman, I was genuinely shocked and screamed "holy shit!". It's good that they still have their true nature imprinted in them even after losing their memories when they got turned into zombies.

It was very entertaining to see the three dealing with those Wild Zombies, especially that part where Usopp and Nami ran together all around the stairs. Usopp's bizarre laugh was gold too.
